Loving You From Afar
Chapter Two: The Depressed Little Wolf
"Yes, Kuroi-kun, I'll go with you"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You could hear a loud thump on the ground, a gasp, and a choke. The loud thump was from Syaoran holding his book until its death and then dropping it from the complete shock he had received. The gasp was from the ever sweet Tomoyo trying to pack the knowledge she just heard correctly. And the choke was from Eriol trying regain his composure.
Then Syaoran growled when he saw something.
Kuroi smiled. It grew up his face ever so slowly like time was set in slow motion. His smile spread on each side as if someone was buttering toast. All his perfectly in-line white teeth showed, sparkling in the light. His eyes squinted a little as the smile grew wider. His aqua marine eyes brightened themselves as his eyebrows lowered in satisfaction. The curving snake settled on Sakura and he then spoke to her.
Syaoran's growl deepened as his newly sharpened pencil broke once again. He glared fiercely at the boy, his amber eyes, you could swear had fire in them. You could feel the temperature heat up a few degrees and Tomoyo even had to unzip the purple coat she was wearing from the angry heat that the Chinese warrior was emitting.
But wait, Syaoran thought for a second. He was so angry at Kuroi that he forgot about something. Why did Sakura say yes? I mean, she showed no affection towards him. What had driven her to say yes to him?
Syaoran would have to talk to her later.
"So, Sakura, I'll pick you up a six?" Kuroi smiled yet again to the young lady in front of him.
"Hai, see you then" She smiled to him. Inside she had also wondered what had driven her to do so. She came to the conclusion that maybe this would make Syaoran confess to her.
'Confess what? He doesn't love me' Her head dropped down a few centimeters.
Just then a bell sound permeated the room in knowledge that lunch was in session.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura and Tomoyo got their lunches, some sandwiches and potato chips, and sat down. Syaoran who usually sat with them went to another table and sat alone in the steel row of seats. He looked down at his salad and sighed depressingly. Eriol sat down with them and looked at Syaoran. He knew he needed to do something.
'Oh Sakura, why did you hurt me so?' Syaoran took a slow bite of his food and kept his eyes cast low on the table.
Sakura looked at him, her jade-eyes filled with confusion and worry. She didn't know he would be this depressed during lunch.
'I wonder what is wrong…' She took a bite of her lettuce and cheese sandwich when a sweet innocent voice spoke up.
"Sakura-chan, why did you say yes?" Tomoyo inquired her amethyst-eyes a little duller than usual. The English teen sitting next to her nodded in agreement.
"I don't know, I thought that if I said yes maybe it would make Syaoran able to make a move on me…then I don't know why he would…" Sakura's emerald-eyes weren't their usual green grass color. They were duller and looked like she had just woken up from a harsh night of sleep. She wasn't in the mood to talk and Tomoyo got the message so they all ate quietly until Eriol stood up, brushed the food off his pants and went directly to where the amber-haired boy was sitting.
Syaoran heard some rustling in front of him and looked up to see a pig with blue hair and glasses. He snorted. What did Eriol want?
"What do you want Hiiragizawa, whatever it is, I am not in the mood for it" He snapped at him before the young English boy could say a word out of his mouth.
"I was just going to inform you" He smiled evilly and went on… "My cute descendent…" Syaoran growled inwardly. "That I know why Sakura said yes to Kasshoku" Syaoran perked up at the name coming from his mouth. His chocolate eyes looked at him in fury. He lowly said something in a growl that could almost be silent.
"What did he say?" Eriol smiled and decided to keep it half-secret and half-not. Oh ho ho ho ho. Eriol could be vicious sometimes just like his sweet delicate flower, Tomoyo.
"Well, just some advice, confess to her soon, real soon" Syaoran looked at him confusion. 'What was that supposed to mean?'
Eriol then left the Chinese teen in wonder of his advice. He joined the girls who didn't ask any questions and finished their lunch. Then again the bell rang signaling them to go to their next class…..
Syaoran and Sakura had history, while Tomoyo and Eriol had literature.
Syaoran was behind Sakura again and still depressed. Syaoran looked at his book and wasn't even listening to the Sensei. Sakura was doing the same but it was worse with Syaoran directly behind her.
She wrote down something on a small-ripped-lined piece of notebook paper in her perfect Kanji handwriting.
Syaoran noticed something white flick onto his desk, he opened the small piece, unfolding after unfolding, until he came to some beautifully written characters, he read the note:
Meet me after school by the front of it
-Sakura
He wondered what she had meant and came to the conclusion that it was why he was depressed. He decided to tell her but to keep it partly secret. He could always lie but that was pretty hard around his beloved.
He wrote down a response and flicked it onto the cherry blossom's desk, she read it and smiled to him. It must've said something nice because Sakura was smiling her bright cheery smile that she usually wore when she was in joy.
'At least Sakura is smiling at me….that was worth it' Syaoran smiled his so ever rare smile to himself but scowled deeply with a low wolf growl at the image in front of him.
There was Kuroi again flirting with Sakura……His Sakura
'This is going to be a long day'
