Special Strength
A Little Game
I feel the rush of the cool morning air on my face as I race through the soccer field while dribbling
the ball skillfully. I imagine that the field is full of opponents for me to beat as I sidestep and kick the ball
up high. I kick the ball far, pretending I'm passing it to my best friend/teammate, I have yet to figure out
which one. His name is Eriol Hiiragizawa. But enough about him. I need to concentrate on the ball.
Within seconds, I reach the ball that I kicked and mustering all my strength I kick it into the net.
The ball slowly rolls back from the net as I feel the exhilarating rush of success. Suddenly, there is a sound
of clapping hands to my left. I turn my head to see Eriol grinning at me.
"Sup, Li-kun?" he asks me. I scowl at his intrusion but otherwise keep my cool. Did I mention I
hate being interrupted while I'm practicing? Well Eriol does it all the time so I'm getting used to it.
"Hello, Hiiragizawa," I mutter. "What are you doing here again?"
"Same old, same old. You think you're all that at soccer but let's see you play a real pro." Eriol
taunted. I swear to God, if it wasn't that he was my relative in some twisted sort of way, he would be dead
somewhere.
"Where is the pro, then?" I tease him back. His grin fades for a second but his eyes still sparkle with
his glint.
"You're looking at him," he says simply. I have the urge to go over to him at give him a black eye.
"You? Don't make me laugh, Hiiragizawa. Only way you could be is if I'm sleeping. Even then I'll
probably beat you," I say. Despite my words, I know that Eriol is a very good player, maybe even capable
of beating me. That is if...oh I don't know. He is good though.
"Think so, Li-kun? Then let's play," he says. I accept his challenge. We immediately choose our
sides and I get the ball first.
I'm ready to charge. As I accelerate, I gain more and more of the control of the ball. I come to an
abrupt stop and kick the ball high. Eriol's eyes follow the ball as it descends down on my foot but Eriol
is one step ahead of me. Before I know it, I don't have the ball anymore. At the speed of light, it appears in
my goal. I groan loudly. I hate when Eriol does his moves like that. But besides hate, I'm impressed.
But guess what? I'm not giving him the satisfaction of knowing it.
"Just luck, Hiiragizawa, just luck," I mutter quietly. "You know what, actually? Forget it. I got
more important things to do."
"Like what?" Eriol demands. I can see in his eyes that he doesn't care though. He just gets a kick
out of playing his little games with me. "Like what, Syaoran?" He calls me by my first name. I hate it when
he does that. I don't know why. As of now I seriously don't care. "What are you gonna do, man? Go hang
with Sakura?"
Sometimes Eriol gives the impression that he could read minds. Sometimes I actually believe it.
Like now. It was actually my plan. "So what, Eriol? I could if I wanna."
Eriol just chuckles a bit. "What time if it, Li-kun?" he asks.
As I look at my watch I notice that he has a point. You just don't wake up Sakura Avalon at 7:30 in
the morning. "Shut up Eriol," I tell him through clenched teeth. He just laughs at me.
"Since it's a bit too early to go wake up your sweetheart, I'll buy us something to eat," Eriol offers.
"Two things Hiiragizawa. One, Sakura is not my sweetheart, as you put it. Two, I'm not hungry," I
tell him. Inside though, I dissagree with both things I said. I wish Sakura was mine, but guess what? She's
not so that's that. My heart though won't just let it go like that. I have to do something soon or I'm going to
kill myself. Oh and by the way, my stomach dissagrees with the second thing I said.
Eriol shrugs. "Whatever. If you're not coming, the better for me." With that he walks off. I scowl.
"Yo, Hiiragizawa, wait up!" I yell. He turns around and grins. What the HELL is stopping me from
beating the crap out of him and stealing his wallet? Oh that's right...my goddamn conscience. Oh well...
At least I get free breakfast!
