i didn't add a disclaimer earlier, so: I OWN NOTHING. not even the lyrics. (sob)
"Sakura! Sakura-chan!!!!" yelled an excited amethyst eyed girl, as she raced up the stairs. Sakura got up reluctantly as she was just finishing a song she had started writing a few days ago. Leaning on her crutches, she opened the door. To her amazement, her best friend was at the door. On seeing Sakura, Tomoyo flung her arms around her neck and exclaimed, "Sakura-chan! Li's new album is out!!!! I just got the CD!!!"
Sakura stood eagerly as Tomoyo fished around for something in her bag. On locating it, Tomoyo slowly reached out and got it out. With trembling fingers, Sakura took it from Tomoyo, who was watching the CD as though it is something worthy of worship. Sakura slowly ripped off the paper enclosing it and turned the cover around. And her eyes met the intense amber eyes of the superstar she yearned to meet everyday. Dressed in black, the lead singer of the Metallic Wolves, Li Syaoran looked hot. The brand new CD contained the latest song-Vindicated. Sakura slowly made her way to her CD player. As she turned it on, Tomoyo flopped down on the bed, eagerly waiting for the song to begin.
Just as Sakura waited eagerly, the rock music blasted on and the handsome star began to sing. She could almost see him singing the words:
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
the shine of which has caught my eye
and rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
Slight hope
it dangles on a string
like slow spinning redemption...
As the song came to an end, Sakura turned the CD cover around and stared at the image in front of her. There was the large metallic M, just above a pond and its reflection formed a W. The moon was shining high above. Li Syaoran stood next to the pond, his image slightly enlarged; flanked by his band members. Sakura felt her cheeks redden as she stared at his messy chocolate brown hair and the 'don't-care' twitch on his lips. Tomoyo watched her; a gentle smile on her face. "Sakura-chan, Syaoran looks hot; but I think he looks even better over there," said Tomoyo pointing at the wall, which was completely covered by a vast blown-up picture of Li Syaoran.
Sakura made her way to the wall and stared at it for two whole minutes before saying, "you're right, 'Moyo-chan. Syaoran-kun looks……good when he's smiling; rather than with that stupid smirk on his face." "Lets hope Ayumi-san doesn't hear you saying that," said Tomoyo, grinning. Sakura slowly turned to Tomoyo and both of them burst out laughing. Ayumi was a cheerleader in the school Tomoyo went to. Though she was pretty and popular, she was a total slut. Even though Sakura had never met her, she was sure the girl was everything Tomoyo had described her as: a slut. Ayumi was the president of the IluvSyaoran fan club in the school. Tomoyo didn't want to join as she could not bear the prospect of being surrounded by rabid fan girls.
Sakura suddenly opened her mouth to tell Tomoyo something very important when she heard Touya yell, "Hey Kaijuu! Get down here! Your teacher's arrived!" Sakura turned to Tomoyo with an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, 'Moyo-chan, but Mizuki sensei said that I have to concentrate harder for some weird reason and so, classes begin an hour early. Sorry." Tomoyo waved her hand and said airily, "daijobu-desu, Sakura-chan. Ja Mata ne!" Sakura smile and waved to Tomoyo as she ran home.
With a sigh, Sakura gathered her books and limped downstairs to find Touya and Miss Mizuki in deep conversation. Sakura could have sworn there was a tint of red on Touya's cheeks. Trying hard not to smile, she flopped down and said to her teacher, "I'm here, sensei. Sorry I got late; it's just that 'Moyo had come over." "Wh-Oh, yes," said Kaho, tearing her eyes away from Touya. Is it possible…she seems a bit flustered? Thought Sakura as she stared at the duo. As Touya walked out, Miss Mizuki said in a firm voice, "Today, Sakura, we shall be doing trigonometry." Sakura groaned. No. not that subject. She dreaded it.
An hour passed peacefully as Sakura scribbled on and Miss Mizuki frequently interrupted her in order to correct her. After sometime, Sakura said, "sensei, it's so hot in here. Why can't we study in my room? It's a lot cooler." Kaho looked up and said, grinning, "no, Sakura. Not a chance. I know we'll be only staring at that messy haired jerk's face rather than the problems." Sakura gave her a goofy smile, "OK. But don't call him that."
As she turned back to her books, Sakura couldn't help smiling at the way Miss Mizuki's brows furrowed when she was thinking. She is so pretty thought Sakura as she absent-mindedly doodled on her book. Miss Mizuki looked up to see her student lost in another world. Probably dreaming of that chocolate boy again, she murmured grimly before clearing her throat and saying, "Miss Kinomoto, if you don't finish those problems by the next fifteen minutes, I'm afraid I've to take away your break." That definitely made Sakura sit up.
"Goodbye, sensei! See you tomorrow!" chanted Sakura as Miss Mizuki left. "Sakura, no watching TV!" said Miss Mizuki merrily. Sakura nodded. But as soon as Miss Mizuki was out of sight, Sakura limped as fast as she could to the TV set. Grabbing the remote, Sakura switched the TV on only to see some weird channel where they were teaching dogs how to hang the laundry. Shaking her head, she flicked through the channels. Boring. Boring. Too boring. Finally, she settled on the news channel. She watched attentively as the lady spoke something about a man killing three people through by offering to die with them when they expressed the desire to commit suicide through some sites on the web. (A/N: this was in the news recently……) as the report came to an end, a commercial came on. And much to her surprise, guess who was yelling at the top of his voice on stage?
Yup, you guessed it. Li Syaoran.
Sakura flung the cushion she was holding and watched the screen fixedly as Li appeared on the screen and said, "hey everyone! This is Li Syaoran…….I'm coming to your place…." He said, pointing at the camera in such a way that Sakura felt he was pointing at her. "So watch out for me, Tokyo!"
Sakura stared blankly at the screen. She knew that it was now or never. She simply had to get hold of those tickets. She simply had to have them.
She quickly thrust her hand inside her pocket and drew out her cell phone. She hurriedly dialed Tomoyo's number and waited impatiently as the song "Teriyaki Boyz- Tokyo Drift" played on. Tomoyo answered in a low voice, "'Kura, what is it? Is it something really important?"
"Hai, 'Moyo-chan. Syaoran-kun's coming here! Here, to Tokyo!"
"Well, that's very delightful, but haven't I told you before, not to call me when I'm at school?" said Tomoyo, in a poisonously sweet voice. "Oh, 'Moyo-chan……I'm sorry," said Sakura, dismayed. "It's OK," said Tomoyo, calming down. Dear Sakura, she was so……simple. Sakura then heard an annoyed teacher's voice in the background, "Miss Daidouji, if you have finished your little chat, I'd like to confiscate your cell phone."
"But sensei-"
And Sakura hurriedly disconnected the call. She felt worried about Tomoyo and angry with herself. "'Moyo-chan is so going to kill me," she said, limping upstairs.
