CHAPTER 3: NEW FRIENDS
Another school day in Tomoeda Highschool…
The students are making an art project in the art room. Sakura draws a place surrounded by many flowers in memory of her mother, Nadeshiko. Syaoran paints a sakura tree. (He's blushing furiously!)
The students are all concentrated in their works. There had been a knock on the door. "Oh, Ms. Matsuko. What can I do for you?" Ms. Minaya Hazama asked after she opened the door. "Um… gomen for disturbing you, Hazama-san. I just need to see Fujimiya-san. Well, you know ano (that), there will be a school seminar in Osaka. The principal wanted him to represent our school," Ms. Matsuko explained. "Hai (sure)." Ms. Hazama said. She approached Hiroko.
"Fujimiya-san, you can continue your work later or you can bring it home. Matsuko-sensei wants to talk to you," Hazama said. "Hai." Hiroko stood up and went with Ms. Matsuko in the lobby.
^~^~^~^~^
In the school lobby…
"Matsuko-sensei, why did you call me?" Hiroko asked. "Fujimiya, there will be a 1 week seminar in Osaka. I know you've heard it. Well, I want to go straight to the point. The principal and I want you to be the representative of the school. We have decided that it must be you because you're just… plain… deserving of this kind of training," Ms. Matsuko clarified smiling.
Hiroko began to think intensely. He's really looking forward to this seminar. He wants to show everybody that he really can do it, but…how about Sakura? I can't leave Sakura-chan. It's like passing her on to Li Hiroko told himself. "Fujimiya? Fujimiya-san!" Ms. Matsuko interrupted Hiroko's thoughts. "G-gomen, Matsuko-sensei. Well, um… please give me time to think it over," Hiroko said. "Okay. But, you mean you're hesitating? Fujimiya, this is something every student is looking forward to. Now that you're the chosen, you're undecided?" Ms. Matusko said. "…." "Okay, okay. I'll give you time until tomorrow. We need your answer urgently," Matsuko ended.
^~^~^~^~^
In the school garden…
Sakura and Tomoyo are eating lunch. When they saw the two new Chinese students approaching, they were about to stand and go somewhere else to avoid them when Syaoran and Meilin stopped them. "Chotto matte yo(wait a minute)!" Syaoran said. "Um…we…we want to talk…to you. We want to explain," Meilin said.
"Okay! What are you two up to, again, huh?' Sakura asked with her one eyebrow up. Tomoyo crossed her arms. "Well, we just want to apologize because, we were just playing around when we… um…you know when… we said that we know you and…when we confused you. We're just joking and it's just you two we… we chose to…" Sakura didn't let Syaoran continue his sentence. "I just want you to know we didn't like your joke!!! Tell me, can't you just do anything in your lives?!" she pointed at the two of them with her face getting red. "Look, we're sorry." Meilin apologized. "Okay, we forgive you," Tomoyo said. "Friends?" Syaoran offered his hands to Sakura.
Silence…
"Hai. Friends," Sakura shake hands with Syaoran. Meilin shook hands with Tomoyo. The three ate lunch together, chatted and shared jokes and stories. They are indeed friends now. Just then, Meilin thought of leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone. "Tomoyo, honey, can you do me a favor? I really like seeing the great Cherry blossoms there. Can you accompany me? Please!" Meiling said. "Um…ano(well)…" Meilin pulled Tomoyo and ran away from Syaoran and Sakura. Meiling winked at Syaoran. Sakura was confused.
Silence…
"S-Sakura, arigato (Thanks) for accepting my apology," Syaoran said. He can't control his flush! Good thing Sakura can hardly notice. Sakura smiled. "It's okay, Li-kun. I understand. You speak very good Japanese though," Sakura commented. "Thank you. Um…S-Sakura…c-can I ask y- you a f-favor?" Syaoran asked, stuttering.
"What is it, Li-kun?" Sakura asked eyeing him. Syaoran tried to control his blush and shook his head. "C-can you just call me …Syaoran?" he said. "Syaoran? That's your first name. Demo…why me?" Sakura asked. "Well, um… I will surely feel…um… more comfortable and satisfied when you'll be the one to call my…first name," Syaoran directly said. Why did I say that?!!! Stupid you! Sakura blushed, turning her back away from him. "Hai. I'll do it if it will make you satisfied," Sakura said. "Thank you!!" Syaoran said restraining himself to hug her. "You're welcome…Syaoran-kun," Sakura smiled and put her pony tailed hair on her shoulders, sliding her fingers along each strand. Syaoran thought, You're so beautiful
"Um…Sakura-chan, is Fujimiya-san your friend?" Syaoran asked. Sakura, hesitating but still answered. "Iie (no). He's my boyfriend… for a year now." Syaoran's heart beats fast. WHAT! He turned his head away from Sakura controlling his tears to flow. "O-okay…"
^~^~^~^~^
Meanwhile…
Hiroko is finding Sakura at that time, after talking to Ms. Matsuko. Darn! Where are you Sakura-chan? After almost 5 minutes of finding Sakura, Hiroko finally found her… with Li Syaoran. Li!!! You really want a battle, huh? Okay. This time…it's war! Hiroko approached the two of them. He's very angry and is already seething.
"Honey! There you are. I've been looking all over for you," Hiroko said looking deeply at Sakura. Sakura gulped. Syaoran and Sakura stood up. "And you're with our new student, the Hong Kong boy, huh?" Hiroko added. Syaoran faced Hiroko's bitter glare. "Well, Fujimiya-san, let me tell you something. I was just trying to be friendly with Sakura. If that really bothers you, gomen nasai," Syaoran said ironically, sneering. Then he bowed. Sakura gulped again. Hiroko smirked at Syaoran. You're fighting, descendant of Clow Reed "HA! And why would I be bothered? Who are you anyway?" Hiroko answered him.
"Hiroko-kun, stop, okay. He's just befriending Tomoyo and me. It's normal for a new student like him. Sorry. I think you're wrong for treating him like that!" Sakura told Hiroko defending Syaoran. Hiroko moved his face right then faced Sakura. His long bangs covered his eyes making him look like a bishonen. "Okay, fine. Sakura-chan, I came here not to fight. I just want to talk to you. Please excuse us, Li-kun," Hiroko said, smirking at Li. Syaoran stared at him. His body is getting red all over because of anger. "Yeah. It's okay with me. I'm sure Meilin will arrive with Tomoyo in few minutes. Go ahead Sakura-chan. Nice talking with you," Syaoran said. "I feel enjoyed chatting with you too, Syaoran-kun. See you next class," Sakura told him, smiling. Hiroko frowned. "Let's go, honey?" he said. Sakura nodded. She waved at Syaoran. Syaoran waved back.
^~^~^~^~^
At the moment…
"WOW!!! Sakura, Sakura, and Sakura! They're so many and they're so MEILIII!!" Meilin said admiring the beautiful Cherry blossoms near Tomoeda High. "Wait. I heard the word 'meili'. What does that mean?" Tomoyo asked. "It's Mandarin meaning 'beautiful'," Meilin answered. Tomoyo smiled at her. "Hai. They're really beautiful. They tend to make you forget all your problems and worries…sigh!" Tomoyo said almost whispering. Meilin gazed at her. She noticed she suddenly became sad. "What is it Tomoyo-chan? Can you tell me what is your problem?" she asked her with kind eyes.
Tomoyo walked. Meilin followed her. "I miss him Meilin-chan. I really do," Tomoyo said while walking. "Who is he?" Meilin queried. Tomoyo stopped and picked one Cherry blossom petal. "My childhood friend. It was late when I realized I love him…he already went away…to England," Tomoyo said looking deeply at the Sakura petal. (A.N: He's none other than…Eriol!!) Meilin became worried. She went nearer to Tomoyo and pats her shoulders. "You love him. So, you must wait for him. If he loves you to, he will come back to you no matter what happens. If you are really meant for each other, destiny will do something. Forget about it, Tomoyo-chan," Meilin comforted wiping Tomoyo's tear with her handkerchief. Tomoyo smiled. "Right!! Let's enjoy the place! Come on Meilin-chan!" she said then pulled Meilin's hand.
^~^~^~^~^
Near the Tsukimine Shrine…
Sakura and Hiroko sat on a stone under an oak tree. Not knowing, Syaoran secretly followed them. Hiroko stared at Sakura for a long time making her gulp. Then he lifted her chin and said, "I love you very much, Sakura-chan." Hiroko caressed her face. He slowly moved his face downward then kissed her deeply. Sakura is amazed at first but managed to kiss back. Soon they're kissing passionately.
Syaoran seeing the scene is badly hurt. Really hurt. Syaoran grit his teeth. One tear fell from his eyes but he quickly wiped it. Sakura-chan…I love you so much but I just can't do anything to make you remember me… damn it!!! He ran and ran with his eyes closed not knowing where he's heading. He's crying really hard.
^~^~^~^~^
Sakura broke the kiss. Hiroko stared at her eyes. "What is it Hiroko-kun?" Sakura asked her. Hiroko stroked her face then kissed her nose. "Do you love me Sakura-chan?" asked Hiroko. Sakura wanted to say 'Yes, I love you too' but her heart does not agree with it. She can't understand why is that. She just nodded not looking at him.
Hiroko is not satisfied. He glared angrily at Sakura. "Damn you! Why can't you say the three words? They're just three words and you just can't manage to say it?!! SHIT!!" Hiroko yelled. Sakura stared at him then bit her lip. "I-I'm sorry…h-honey," she said. She decided to say, "O-of course. I…I love you too. Feel better now?" She told him that so as not to make a fight because their discussion is getting nearer to it. "Actually, I don't feel good enough," he said. Sakura stared at him with cold eyes.
Silence reigned …
Hiroko stood up and turned his back away from Sakura. "Now, I don't really know what to do," he said. "Huh?" Sakura is confused. "Sakura- chan, Ms. Matsuko asked me a while ago if I am willing to go to that seminar in Osaka," Hiroko said. Sakura's eyes widened. "Really, honey? Wow! I'm so proud of you!" she said then she embraced Hiroko's back touching his abdomen. "Yes, honey. I'm really looking forward to this training but I can't go…" Hiroko said then he clenched his fist.
"Nani(What)?!" Sakura exclaimed. She faced him and gazed at him deeply. "I can't go because I don't want to leave you Sakura-chan! I don't want to lose you!" he told her holding her cheeks. Sakura held his hand. "Honey, how can you say that?" Sakura asked. "If I leave, all the boys will take chances with you! What if…what if…no…I just can't lose you Sakura," Hiroko said almost whispering then embraced her tightly. "Hiroko, don't you trust me, huh?" Sakura asked. Hiroko grit his teeth. "No. It's not like that! But …"
"Hiroko, I can't understand you! You want to be in this training isn't it? Now that you had been given the opportunity, you won't go? Hiroko-kun, I don't want you to leave too but…my conscience can't bear the fact that I'm the reason that you didn't accept something that's considered… important… for you. You're looking forward for this, isn't it?" Sakura said. "Sakura-chan, my mind's so unresolved!" Hiroko said. "Hiroko, for me, just accept it. Onegai. Accept it! You love me isn't it? Please go for it!" Sakura told him. Hiroko embraced her tightly again. "Okay. For you, my love, I will," Hiroko said. "That's the Hiroko I know!" Hiroko looked at her intently. He bent down to kiss her again. Sakura hesitated to kiss him but it's too late. "Hiroko…ummph!" Hiroko's lips already touched hers. Hiroko kissed her passionately as if he won't see her again, sliding his tongue inside Sakura's mouth. He pulled her closer. Sakura enjoyed the kiss later on. Together, they went back to Tomoeda High. Sakura touched her lips still wet with the kiss. She thought I kissed him but…this heart of mine does not agree with me…it's against my will. Why?

"Hai. Friends," Sakura shake hands with Syaoran. Meilin shook hands with Tomoyo. The three ate lunch together, chatted and shared jokes and stories. They are indeed friends now.

^~^~^~^~^
Meanwhile…
Hiroko is finding Sakura at that time, after talking to Ms. Matsuko. Darn! Where are you Sakura-chan? After almost 5 minutes of finding Sakura, Hiroko finally found her… with Li Syaoran. Li!!! You really want a battle, huh? Okay. This time…it's war! Hiroko approached the two of them. He's very angry and is already seething.
"Honey! There you are. I've been looking all over for you," Hiroko said looking deeply at Sakura. Sakura gulped. Syaoran and Sakura stood up.

Together, they went back to Tomoeda High. Sakura touched her lips still wet with the kiss. She thought I kissed him but…this heart of mine does not agree with me…it's against my will. Why?
