Just Wondering
It was a rainy day. The rain poured onto the roof and splattered on the ground like the promises of yesterday. Muddy piles formed everywhere as he looked around. It had transformed the beautiful landscape into a muddle of dirt, just reminding him how often things could change, and that beautiful things did not last forever.
It is weird though, how when you think of things, they often happen. Like one day a girl asked me if I ate tofu, and that day I HAD tofu for dinner. So he was just standing there, underneath the protection from the rain when he saw
Her.
She was standing with her friend under two umbrellas, and they were walking home. Resisting the temptation to yell, he walked quickly behind her. Soon enough, after they had reached the Cherry Blossom Path, the two girls split up and she was the only one walking there, under her little dainty umbrella. His feet made almost no sound as they splashed into water puddles as he approached.
She kept on walking, unaware he was there, until she suddenly stopped, and whirled around. Her skirt twisted in a pattern and her eyes glittered from the rain. She seemed so bright and beautiful that he just stood there, nothing to say.
"Have you been following me?" She asked. He cleared his throat.
"Actually, I've been wondering if." He looked around, and then walked up to her. Reaching into his coat, he pulled out two tickets. "You'd like to see the fair with me?"
"What would Meilin say?" She asked quietly.
"Well, Meilin is sick." He replied. "She WAS going to come with me, but now she can't and it would be a dreadful waste if I nor her didn't go at all, so I was just wondering..." He shrugged.
"I'd love to." She said, taking one from him. "Come under the umbrella Li. You must be soaked." He hadn't realized he had walked right into the rain. He didn't care. She was right in front of him, and her light brightened his day, always. A little rain didn't matter, but he accepted the umbrella anyways.
They walked in total silence, until she asked him to stay for dinner.
"I'd truly love to Sakura." He said pausing. "But Meilin IS sick, so I guess I'd better go home."
"Another time?" She suggested hopefully. Li smiled.
"Sure."
"But come dry up first." She opened the door that lead to her house by twisting a small golden key. Her slender hands seemed to hold the key as if it meant everything to her, which it probably did.
It was a total blessing just to watch her.
Sakura brought him some towels in which he dried himself. Within the warmth of the house, he just noticed how wet he was, and unfortunately, was still basically wet when Kero, guardian of the Clow Cards, came flying down the stairs.
"Whoa, what have we got here?" Kero said, chuckling. "All wet, eh? Good thing Sakura came along then. You'd really need a guardian angel, I'll tell you that."
Sakura's my guardian angel, Li thought. Hey, not bad. Thus he did not make an attempt to annoy Kero, and Kero, finding this game of teasing Li was not going to work, went to the kitchen.
Sakura was making two bowls of pudding. Kero sat down beside one and gave her a puppy face.
"For me?" He asked sweetly.
"You can lick the bowl." Sakura said, smiling. "But these are for Li and me." Kero fell out of the air and landed on the ground.
"Don't you hate it when you get left out of EVERYTHING just cause you're small?" He asked, but Sakura had already dashed out of the room with the two pudding sundaes with a cherry on top and a spoon stuck in them.
"This should warm you up." She said, placing one before Li.
"Oh, gee, thanks." Li said, smiling at Sakura, who blushed and looked away. Kero dashed into the room at the awkward moment and collapsed by the couch. Li and Sakura turned to look at him.
"What's wrong Kero?" Sakura asked. Kero straightened himself up.
"Nothing!" He said, too quickly. Sakura gave him a look. "I saw Madison come down the street with fabric and a metric stick in her hands." Kero blurted. "You know what that means."
"A new costume." Sakura groaned. Li chuckled. "Oh no!"
"Lucky she never makes any for me." Li said. By now he was almost dry, except for his hair, which was slightly damp. "I think I should be going now."
"Already?" Sakura asked, giving him a concerned look. "You aren't dry yet."
"Not completely." Li said. "But I'll be all right." Sakura looked at the pudding and sighed.
"All right." She said. "You're welcome to come by any time, you know." Li smiled. How he longed to touch her hair, and they were sitting that close...yet Kero-chan was in the room. Li stood up and made his way to the door. Sakura handed him his jacket, and an umbrella.
"Really, I don't need it." Li protested.
"Yes you do." Sakura said. "Don't worry, you can always return it tomorrow." Li grimaced silently. What would Meilin say when he arrived home with Sakura's umbrella? But under Sakura's loving smile, all he could do was accept.
"I'll see you around, Li." She said, looking at him with those lovely green eyes. And oh, how he wanted to...and yet...Kero-chan was still there.
One day I'm going to smack that bear. Li thought. He keeps ruining my perfect moment. I really hope Sakura doesn't bring him to the fair. He reached over and gave Sakura a hug.
"Thanks for all the help." He said. She smiled lightly.
"You're welcome." She said, and for a moment, they just stood looking at each other, until Li briskly turned away, a blush etched on his cheeks, and started to walk down the steps.
Sakura smiled and watched him disappear with the umbrella.
"Sakura!" Madison said, running up the stairs. "Hello, earth to Sakura!"
"Oh, hey Madison." Sakura said. "I saw you coming down the street."
"You seem preoccupied today." Madison said. Then, leaning towards Sakura, she whispered, "Was that who I think it was?" Sakura turned bright red.
"Who did you think it was?" Sakura asked.
"Yep, and the Li kid was here." Kero cut in, with a wink at Madison. "He got wet and Sakura offered him a towel and an umbrella."
"Aww." Madison said with a smile, making Sakura pull her into the house and shut the door. "Oh, one more thing!" Madison dropped everything she was carrying on the floor and pulled something out of her pocket. "Two tickets to see the fair! Can you believe it? Do you want to come?" Sakura fidgeted with her fingers.
"I can't." She said slowly.
"Oh." Madison said, tilting her head in a concerned way. "Why not?" Kero looked at Sakura questioningly.
Sakura slowly pulled something out of her pocket.
"Li already asked to go with him." Sakura said, blushing.
"Li?" Madison cried. "That's wonderful!" She grabbed the other girl's arm and they started doing a dance in the middle of the room. Kero shook his head.
"That Li kid has sure got it in for you." Kero said. "In a nice way, I mean. What's he going to do in terms of Meilin?" Sakura paused enough to say to Kero,
"He told me Meilin's sick, and it would be a waste." Sakura said.
"That explains why she hasn't been at school." Madison said.
"Sakura, are you going to take me?" Kero asked.
"Ah, Kero!"' Madison grabbed Kero and scolded him. She whispered, "Kero, this is their perfect date. C'mon, I'll take you." Kero grunted.
"It isn't the same." He said. "And since when have we started matching up Sakura and the Li kid?" Kero crossed his arms. "Excuse me."
"Cool." Sakura said, who had not heard much of that conversation. "We can meet at the ticket stand."
"Oh the other hand." Madison said rather quickly. "I think that I'd rather not go." Kero pinched her. "Ow, or maybe I'll, er, well, I'd rather go alone with Kero than with you and Li, Sakura."
"Why?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Well, it's just that it doesn't seem right, barging in on your date."
"This isn't a date!" Sakura said, worryingly.
"I wonder if the Li kid thinks the same way." Kero said. A smile was slowly forming on Madison's face.
"Ooh." Sakura said. "This is wrong. What would Meilin say?"
"You do realize we worry way too much about Meilin." Madison said. "Forget her. C'mon, I've got to take a few measurements." Sakura, with a pained look, followed Madison and Kero-chan to the living room.
The dew was cluttered on his window like little diamonds when he woke up. The sun was streaming through the dew, forcing the diamonds to glitter. It looked so much like her hair that he closed his eyes peacefully and dreamed of her.
Then there was a loud noise from his alarm clock and he got up, not reluctantly, because in a few minutes, she would lie before him.
He thought about her through breakfast and on the way at school, secretly glad that Meilin was staying home. And in a few minutes, he saw her, skating to school.
"Ah!" Sakura yelled as she avoided a cat. "Whoa." She was losing her balance. He held out a hand, and hers went directly for it. She skidded to a stop with her eyes closed, like a frightened child on a freezing night. And suddenly, she opened her eyes to find Li staring at her.
"Gee, thanks." Sakura said.
"It was the least I could do after yesterday, and wasting all that pudding." Li said. "Here." He handed Sakura her umbrella, which she tucked into her backpack.
"Actually, Kero was more than delighted to eat that pudding." Sakura said. They both giggled.
"I can imagine." Li said. He reached for her hand and pulled her towards the school. "C'mon, we're going to be late."
They reached the classroom in record time, and Mrs. Mackenzie smiled at both of them.
"How are you?" She asked lightly as Sakura and Li sat down and removed their hats.
"Well." Sakura said.
"Li, I saw you yesterday after school, and you were just walking in the rain." Mrs. Mackenzie said. "And I said to myself, 'That boy is going to be sick!' Are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Li said, a little sharply. He had never learned to trust Mrs. Mackenzie, since she showed signs of power, sometimes greater than both of them, especially in sensing cards.
Mrs. Mackenzie smiled and returned to her desk. The rest of the class began filing in.
"Class will begin." Mrs. Mackenzie said as she began to take roll. Suddenly, the door slammed open and Meilin entered, her face slightly flushed.
"Meilin, are you sick?" Mrs. Mackenzie asked.
"Oh, no, I'm well now." Meilin said. "I ran all the way here."
"Okay, please sit down." Meilin went to her seat.
"Meilin, what are you doing here?" Li asked urgently.
"I'm not sick anymore, and I wanted to come to the fair with you." Meilin said. "What's the point of not going when I'm not sick?" Sakura looked at Li, who was staring at Meilin, and Madison was looking at Sakura.
"You're going...after all?" Li asked.
"Sure!" Meilin plopped down into her seat comfortably and class began.
"When are you going to tell her?" Madison asked. Li's eyes widened, and then realized Sakura, of course, would've told her best friend.
"I don't know." Li said. "But the fair starts today. I've got to break it into her by lunch."
Madison looked at Li, concerned. Poor Li.
Lunch came and went. Li still hadn't said anything. Madison and Sakura began to worry. This must be really hard for Li. And suddenly, after school, while the four were left alone in the classroom, packing their bags, Li suddenly spoke up.
"Meilin, we need to talk." Li said.
"Sure, about what?" Meilin asked, bending over to retrieve a piece of paper.
"About the fair." Li looked down. "I can't go with you?"
"WHAT?" Meilin asked, standing very straight.
"I asked Sakura if she would go with me, and, well, I'm going with Sakura."
"But those were OUR tickets!" Meilin said. Madison took Sakura by the arm and dragged her out of the room. Sakura stood paralyzed. They stood outside of the door.
"We shouldn't be here." Madison said. "This is between the two of them."
"I caused all of this." Sakura said.
"No you didn't." Madison said. Sakura was silent and kept listening.
"You were sick." Li said quietly. "So I just thought..."
"Well, you thought wrong!" Meilin snapped, crumpled up the paper, and threw it at Li. "I hate you!" Meilin ran out of the room, almost collided with Sakura and Madison.
"And you invited Sakura?" Meilin asked, yelling back at Li. Then she turned to Sakura. "I knew your little plans, I knew what you had in store, and I knew what you were going to do! Don't think you can get away with this Sakura!" She stormed out of the building.
"Madison." Sakura began, eyes closed, taking deep breaths.
"I'll see you later." Madison said, grabbing her bag and scurrying down the hall. "Call me when you get home!" Madison disappeared around the corner. Li came out of the room and rubbed his head.
"Ugh. Well, that was quite a show." Sakura didn't say anything. She slumped down on the ground, and curled up, holding her knees.
"Sakura." Li said, touching that strand of hair that was always longer than the others gently. "I'm sorry...for what happened in there."
"It's all right." Sakura was wearily. Li slipped down beside her. Sakura put her head on Li's shoulder. "I'm so tired. Why don't you take Meilin instead?"
"Sakura." Li protested.
"Please?"
"I apologize for Meilin too."
"You don't need to." Sakura said, looking at the wall.
"I'm really sorry." Li said, stoking her hair.
"I know." Sakura said. She sighed. "I just don't think it'll be right, going to the fair with you now, after..." She trailed off.
"Don't take it seriously." Li said.
"How can I not take it seriously?" Sakura asked, tears in her eyes. "And about what Meilin said about my plans, that wasn't true."
"I know." Li said. Sakura sniffed. Li took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.
"I am ever so sorry." He said.
"Li?" Sakura asked, getting up. Li looked at her expectantly. "I think I'll go home now." She walked out the door, and Li stood still, just wondering, what he was going to do.
Was she coming or not? He'd give her time before he called her tonight. His anger and fury for Meilin soon rose as Sakura, his angel, disappeared around the corner. His eyes narrowed and he cried, gently, more from rage than anything else.
No, beautiful things did not last forever.
If you want me to write a sequel to this (which I kinda want to write myself) Please tell me so...I personally am kind of worried what will happened between the two of them (hey, you think I plan out my stories from beginning to end? No way, I just write them as I go along!)
