FANFIC ANIME – TILL DEATH DO US PART

Sakura is this new girl at Tomoeda High. She's cold, hard, humourless & icy. When Syaoran saves her from bullies, he earns a soft spot from her. Eventually they get together. However, her parents match her up with Antonio, some other guy from Spain & threatens her with Syaoran's banishment if she doesn't play along. Forced to, Sakura breaks up with Syaoran. What happens next? You're gonna have to read and find out. BTW, everyone here is teenagers too.

Chapter 1 – Ice Princess

For once, Syaoran Li intently listened to the lecturer, who was giving a talk on wars. His head turned at the sound of a knock on the wooden door. Actually, everyone turned their heads. The lecturer paused and went to open the door.

Syaoran craned his neck to see who was talking to him, and caught a glimpse of the principal…plus a new girl. His eyes lit up in interest. It was the middle of the school year, yet someone new was entering.

The lecturer nodded, then steered in the newbie by her shoulder. Syaoran gasped, as all the boys did. She was beautiful. Messy auburn hair fell to her shoulders and partly hid green eyes that shone like polished emeralds. However, a cold glare greeted them, not a friendly smile or welcoming eyes.

The lecturer brought them out of their daydreams with a loud clap that echoed through the hall. "Class, a new student will be joining us today. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto, and I ask that you be nice to her."

He scanned the hall for empty seats, and the only one he found was next to Syaoran. He said to Sakura, "You can sit next to Syaoran Li. Li-san, please raise your hand." He did as told, curious about her.

Sakura didn't say a word, but she readjusted the slingbag on her shoulder and walked over to the seat next to Syaoran.

"Where are you from?" he asked her, trying to make conversation and find out more about her at the same time. She turned her head slightly, enough so she could see and glare at him.

"Fine, don't tell me," Syaoran smirked, amused. He opened his mouth to ask another question, but the lecturer had begun talking again. He focused all his attention on the lecture, and the two left each other alone.

Sakura, people found out soon enough, was someone antisocial and who didn't like to be disturbed. Everywhere she went, people parted before her, and some even ran away. Syaoran and a few guys were the only people who had tried to make contact with her and succeeded…well, sort of. She would only talk to them if she had to. The rest? They were ignored.

As usual, Sakura came to school early, just to walk down the corridor and take her books without anyone gawking at her or muttering rumours into their friend's ear. She opened her locker, which coincidentally – unfortunately, to her – was next to Syaoran's. The back of her locker door was empty, but the locker itself was full with books. She took some out and packed them into her bag. She was about to close the door when she heard a familiar, irritating voice.

"Well, well, looks like I managed to catch Miss K."

Sakura slammed her locker shut with extra force and spun on her heels to face Syaoran with his arms crossed and a playful grin on his face. She glared at him defiantly then walked off.

Syaoran followed after her, walking just behind her. "You know you have to start talking to people," he called after her.

"I do." Sakura's voice was so icy, so cold that it sent shivers down some peoples' spines. Some teachers have even learnt to avoid asking her questions.

Syaoran held up his hands in defeat. "Let me rephrase: you have to start talking to people more often."

She stopped so suddenly he almost bumped into her. Sakura turned to face him to glare, but this time it was with more anger. "I'm doing fine being alone," she snapped and walked off.

Syaoran was about to tease her again when he saw more students entering through the front door. He shrugged and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

This lecture, no one was listening. Even Sakura just stared coldly at the people around her. For once they ignored her, choosing instead to chat with their friends, boyfriends or girlfriends and other people.

Sakura watched Syaoran chat with Eriol, his best friend and another person who managed to get acquainted with her. Syaoran laughed with him, then found her watching him. The corners of his lips curled up to form a half-smile. "What? You trying to get my attention now?"

She realized what she was doing and scoffed, looking away.

Eriol watched her. "You know, there's something about her," he stated, waggling a finger at her. "Just can't put my finger on it."

Syaoran shrugged. "I admit, there's something she's hiding, but I'm not that interested to find out what it is."

Eriol raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
