Shoutout to my reviewers:
Yingfa07: Hmm, I actually wasn't really planning to plop Eriol into this story since I just wanted to concentrate on Sakura and Syaoran's relationship but if you really want me to, I can add him in the later chapters xD. Hope you like this chapter since it is starting to look like SS!!
Sxs4eva: Haha glad you enjoyed it!! Hope you enjoy this chapter too!!
Death's haunting lullaby: I kind on based their relationship on how most of my relationship are.. love/hate which makes a relationship more interesting. Glad you're liking it so far!
MaDnESS: Wow, that's pretty interesting about that part of your life. I didn't write this from experience of gangs or anything although one of my ex did fight a lot but I don't like seeing his group as gang.. more of a group of friends that fight for what's right? LOL! Hope you keep reading this fanfic and enjoy it just the same for every chapter!!
Chapter Three: Mika
"EEEEEEYAAAAAHHHHH!! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!" Sakura's cursed loudly early in the morning followed by a laughing Syaoran running out of their room with an empty red bucket that seemed to be filled with water just a minute ago.
A very soaked and even more annoyed Sakura ran out seconds after him with one of her slippers in her hand and aimed it directly at Syaoran's head that was already bouncing down the staircase. He sensed something coming towards him and ducked down just in time, causing the slipper to hit the wall instead of him.
Kay and Po walked out of their room still rubbing their eyes.
"What's going on?" asked Po yawning and stretching his arms in the air.
"What time is it?" Kay asked still half asleep.
"Rita, don't act shy. I know you want me!" exclaimed Jun as he opened the door to his and Ben's room, obviously still half in his dream.
"Shut up idiot!" stated Ben as he whacked Jun with a heavy blow across the head by his hand.
Their eyes widened when they saw a flash of drenched hair and pyjamas run past them and down the stairs. The next sound they heard was a loud "CLANG" and they knew the sight that they were going to see when they headed downstairs wasn't going to be pretty. They all ran halfway down the stairs so they could see what was going on.
"That really hurt Kinomoto!" Syaoran exclaimed whilst rubbing the back of his head where the frying pan had hit.
"Well I'm very cold Li!" Sakura complained, glaring at him so coldly that if looks could kill, the whole neighbourhood would cease to exist after seeing her stare.
"You're the one that asked me to wake you up earlier than everyone else stupid girl! You complain that you feel guilty making everyone late for school yesterday and now you complain for what? Helping everyone get there on time! You must be one mentally challenged STUPID girl!" He stated and snatched the frying pan out of Sakura's hands.
"Oh thanks I was looking for that." Sakura's mother yawned as she took the pan out of Syaoran's hand just when he was about to whack it across Sakura's head. "I don't know what the ruckus is all about but since all of you are up already, go get changed and I'll make breakfast."
Everyone started heading towards upstairs but Syaoran was still staring at his empty hands with disbelief that the pan was stolen off him a second before he was about to attack. He was about to head upstairs too when he was drenched by water poured down from above. He pursed his lips into a straight line and wiped the water away from his eyes so he could look up and give the person, who he already knew was Sakura, the you-better-not-let-me-go-up-those-stairs-cause-you're-dead look.
"KINOMOTO!" He cursed out and ran up the stairs to witness his clothes being thrown out of their room and the door slammed and locked in his face.
"Open the door! I'm freezing and I need to shower before school!" Syaoran demanded as he knocked furiously on the door.
Sakura's laughs could be heard from inside. "Oh you don't need a shower! I just gave you one and I've given you clothes to wear for the day! See how nice I am? I've practically done everything for you." Sakura replied still laughing. Syaoran continued to bang on the door insanely.
"If you bang that door any harder, the whole thing is going to fall down." Kay stated as he leaned against the door of his room, watching with amusement at how childish Syaoran and Sakura was acting.
"Yeah, really? Good!" Syaoran replied and banged even harder! "If you don't open the door I'll knock on this door so hard that your whole house breaks down!" He threatened.

"OHAIYO!" Sakura called out when she entered her classroom.
"Sakura-chan, Sakuran-chan!" The girls of the class called back and started surrounding her again.
'Here we go again..' Sakura sighed as she waited for all the girls to swarm around her but she realised there was one particular girl that was still seated and didn't seem to recall ever seeing her in their class.
Sakura walked up to the new girl and placed her hand out to greet. "Hey you must be new here. I'm Sakura Kinomoto, nice to meet you." She said and the new girl smiled and stood up to shake her hand.
"I'm Mika Lam, transfer student from Hong Kong. The pleasure is mine." She greeted back and used strength from her hand to pull Sakura closer towards her so that their heads were side by side with each other. "And Syaoran is also mine." She whispered.
She pulled her head away and loosened up her grip on Sakura's hand to end the handshake. She smiled gently whilst Sakura's face still had shock written all over it.
"Is something wrong Sakura-chan?" Mika asked with an innocent, puzzled look and a sweet tone.
"N-n-no no, everything's fine. Welcome to our school." Sakura said and attempted to make her smile seem real before seating herself down at her desk behind Mika.

"Sakura!" Po and Jun called out and they waved furiously to get her attention as she walked out of her classroom for lunch break.
"What's up?" She asked after walking up to them and looked around. "Where's the rest?"
"They're already at the cafeteria eating. Come join us." Jun answered.
Sakura had a flashback of Mika threatening her about Syaoran and shook her head viciously.
"Nah, it's okay! Besides I'm supposed to be eating lunch with Tomoyo."
"Even better because Tomoyo is already at our table. She seems to have taken a fancy in Kay. Every time there's a break, or during the few minutes for switching classes, she'll always be wandering around outside our classroom just to have a chance to say "Hi Kay" or "Where's your next class Kay." It's actually quite funny to watch." Po laughed and shook his head gently.
'So that's where Tomoyo's been. I was wondering where she disappeared off to every time the bell rang to announce the end of class.' Sakura thought to herself.
"So you have no excuse but to sit with us!" Jun exclaimed and swung his arm around Sakura, forcing her to walk to the same destination as them.
"That Sakura has got guts to take my threat so lightly." Mika thought to herself as she stared from afar at the three walking into the cafeteria.
As they entered the cafeteria, Sakura immediately noticed something unusual. The boys of the school were splattered everywhere but all the girls seemed to be jammed around one table. She tried to see what the fuss was all about but could only make out a boy with chestnut brown hair, sitting with one leg up on his chair. 'Syaoran.'
"Does this happen every lunchtime?" Sakura asked Po and Jun as she pointed at the table Syaoran, Kay, Ben and Tomoyo were sitting at.
"Well we've only been here for two days but so far, yes, that's been happening." Jun replied. "Come on lets go to them." He said and gently pushed Sakura forward to urge her to start walking towards the table.
"Excuse us, coming through!" Po announced as the three off them squished past the big group of girls.
Syaoran looked up to see who was making their way towards them and saw Sakura had already made her way to the front of the mob of girls.
"Why are you here?" Syaoran asked with an annoyed look. He obviously had not forgotten the morning incident in the house.
"Why? Is there a law that bans me from being here?" Sakura asked. "How was the cold shower today Li?" She teased.
"Do I know you? Why are you talking to me? Are you one of my admirers as well?" And with that sentence half the girls that were surrounding them gave Sakura death glares and saw her as another enemy and obstacle that stood in their way to Syaoran's heart.
"Yes Syaoran, I admire you're big imagination of how you wish I wanted you." Sakura replied smartly and sat down next to him as Po and Jun seated themselves between Kay and Ben. The sight of seeing Sakura seating herself down next to Syaoran without hesitation stirred up loud murmurs throughout the mob of girls.
"Sakura's so lucky!"
"I wish I could be in her shoes!"
"First she gets to have them all living at her house and now she even gets to sit with them."
"Lucky bitches!"
"Why the hell does Tomoyo get to sit there too? What, just because she's Sakura's best friend?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP ALL OF YOU!" Syaoran's voice boomed and echoed throughout the whole room. "Can you girls piss off already? You're making us lose our appetite towards our food!" He yelled and within seconds the girls all scattered away from the table.
"Sometimes I fear that you may be gay Syaoran. You're always so mean to girls and the only one that complained of having them flooding around us." Kay joked.
"Shut up Kay." Syaoran rolled his eyes.
Syaoran slumped himself on his chair but straightened his body up almost immediately because he sensed something wrong in the atmosphere. He turned around and saw a flying dagger heading towards Sakura's back.
"Watch out!" Syaoran called out as he pushed Sakura sideways, causing the dagger to slice her arm slightly, cutting only the sleeve to the jumper she was wearing. By now all the students in the cafeteria were running wild in all directions with fear in their eyes.
"Sakura, stay here under the table! Boys! Let's go hunt down the person who threw that. We'll separate and go different directions. Meet here at the end of lunch and Sakura.. don't move from here until we come back. Whoever threw that thing is messing with the wrong group of people." Kay ordered and they all dispersed into different directions.
Within minutes after the boys left the room, an arm grabbed Sakura from under the table, covered her mouth with their other hand and lead her out of the cafeteria.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Did you find the attacker?" Syaoran asked.
"No, whoever it was disappeared as fast as he attacked?" Kay replied
"Um, where's Sakura?" Ben asked and the five boys all looked around to see no sign of Sakura anywhere.
"I thought we told the idiot to stay where she was! That stupid girl is causing unwanted trouble!" Syaoran spat out angrily and punched his fist into a wall.
"This is no time to vent out your anger at a missing person Syaoran. What we have to do right now is to find her and make sure she's alright!" Kay ordered. "Come on, let's go look around the school for her."

"Stop yelling bitch! No one's here to save you." Mika commanded as she slapped Sakura across the face. "You see! That's the reason why ordinary girls like you should never be involved with gangs. You're too weak to match up to Syaoran's standards. You disgust me!" She hissed and grabbed the kneeling Sakura that had her arms tied up behind her by the hair and threw her against the floor in a deserted underground shopping centre car park. Two other girls that were with her just laughed at the hopeless looking Sakura. They had been in the carpark for 8 hours now. It was already very late outside.
"You want Syaoran? Go for him! What has this got anything to do with me?" Sakura snapped back which caused Mika slapping her across the face again.
"Shut up! I will kill any girl that Syaoran even glimpses at, let alone talk to! I've been chasing after him for three years now and you are not going to be the girl that jeopardises my chances to be with him. "
"Jealousy will get you no where. Obviously Syaoran has no interest in you or else he would be with you by now after three long years." Sakura said with an insulting smile.
"Get up!" Mika ordered and pulled Sakura up by the hair and then kicked her in the stomach, causing her to fall back against a wall. Sakura stood back up slowly which allowed Mika to punch her across the face and fall back down.
"So what's capturing me going to help you achieve? How is this going to make Syaoran fall in love with you?" Sakura asked through a wincing one from the pain inflicted on her.
"Oh honey, this isn't my tactic to make Syaoran fall in love with me. It's a tactic to get you to piss off from him and to earn myself a little bit of satisfaction from seeing you in this much pain." Mika laughed and spat in Sakura's face.
"Why don't you just kill me then?" Sakura asked as she wiped the spit off her face with her shoulder.
"No Sakura, I don't want you to die. I just want to teach you a lesson and be evidence to what I do to any girls that goes near Syaoran. You will be my personal threat towards all the girls in Tokyo." Mika explained and smiled in a bitterly sweet way.
"Nina, call Syaoran and tell him to pick up his trash." Mika ordered and threw her cell phone to a tall girl with short blue hair and bangs that were spiked up, sapphire blue eyes and skin as pale as her to dial Syaoran's number.
"Hello? – Syaoran? – You don't need to know who this is. I'm just calling to tell you that you have left something behind in the underground carpark of Tokyo Shopping Centre." And with that Nina hung up and threw the phone back to Mika.
"Well our business here is done girls. Syaoran can clean up this mess when he gets here." Stated Mika and she kicked Sakura one last time in the stomach before walking away from the scene with Nina and the other girl following her.
Sakura groaned in pain on the ground as they disappeared from her view.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Kay! – I know where Sakura is! – Don't ask so many questions, just meet me outside of Tokyo Shopping Centre as soon as possible!" Syaoran shouted into his cellphone and hung up. He was already outside the Shopping Centre and ran for his life towards the car park.
"Sakura?! Sakura?!" He yelled in the empty car park and heard a whimper in the near distance. He ran towards the little voice he heard to see Sakura slumped in a corner with bruises on her arms and legs and a bit of dry blood staining one side of her mouth.
"Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed and picked her gently from the ground and carried her in his arms and headed towards the exit of the carpark.
"Syaoran?" Sakura asked softly as she opened her eyes to see a worried pair of amber eyes covered by messy chestnut brown bangs. "Baka. Why are you saving me for?" She joked and smiled gently.
(A/N: Note how they didn't call each other by their surnames! It's a sign xD)
"Hey! Don't think I'm saving you because I care for you now. I'm saving you cause I don't want to be kicked out of the Black Dragons by Hua Ye understood?" Syaoran implied which left Sakura bursting out in tears in his arms.
"BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!" She called out. "Even when I've gone through so much tonight, you still have the heart to be mean to me! Do you have an icebox for a heart?"! She yelled at him with tears pouring down her eyes.
"Shhh! Stupid girl, I was joking. I care okay? I care! Now can you stop crying and rest while I get you to a hospital?" He insisted.
"Liar.." She said in a tiny voice before falling asleep in his arms as he carried her out.
'Actually I didn't lie to quieten you down Sakura. I actually did get worried about you even though I don't know why. You hit me, tease me, offend me and annoy me. You do everything that isn't supposed to be cute yet it's starting to seem cute and it makes me want to insult you to trigger you to do those things again and again. I do care about you Sakura and I'm doing my own head in trying it figure out what it is about you that makes me treat you differently to every other girl I've met in this lifetime.' Syaoran thought and smiled to himself.
'When Syaoran is being gentle like this, my heart feels like it will melt any second and I could easily fall in love with this side of him. Even if he is only pretending to be nice..' Sakura thought and kept on dreaming.
