Summary: She was the new girl. He was the outcast, the 'Goth' who was never given the time of day. She pry's to places she was never meant to step foot on; he was one of them. Will it cause him sweet pain or bitter love? SxS
I watch you, oblivious to my feelings or is it me to yours?
You became my only friend and yet I still want more.
Something that I cannot have because you are different from me.
You have more friends, a better status and to make you like me would be cruel.
That is why I must let go of this sweet pain and bitter love.
This tainted love.

Warning comes to some extreme swearing in some places but no mention of the c-word, very sarcastic, dry humour, some very tragic scenes and angst and a very slight maybe of lemon.
Rain.
The school bell rang as she ran down the corridor every once in the while tripping. In collection she probably had a total of five bruises that was a whole load of pain.
If it weren't the fact that she was so late, her mind would have strayed to a certain amber-eyed teenager.
How could he be so cold like that? I helped, all be it knocked him out but still and he storms out like I threatened his life.
She slid the door open, panting for breath she felt her cheeks sore and probably guessed they were bright red. The sensei turned to his head and raised an eyebrow.
"Miss Kinomoto, late I see."
"Gomen neisau Terada sensei, I um got a bit lost." She blushed beet red before looking towards the floor. There was no way the sensei would believe her even though she did get lost.
However she was proven wrong when he simply smiled at her.
"Of course, the school must scare you, not knowing where to go, I should have assigned you an escort yesterday."
"Oh no, I'm fine, onegai I'll be fine."
"No, don't worry, now who would like to escort Miss Kinomoto round for the next few weeks until she feels confident enough to find the rooms on her own."
I'm no baby.
Sakura was even more startled when at least 75 of the class raised their hands.
Oh look it's my lucky day.
"With a very good excuse to be late to every class."
Bribe them why don't you.
Every one had their hands up, except one boy. And that boy particularly, sat behind her in every lesson.
"Ah, Mr Li, you are the only one who has the same lessons as Miss Kinomoto. Perhaps you would offer to take her round the school for the next few weeks?"
He looked up startled. All though Terada Sensei had phrased it as a question it was more of 'Do it or detention for a week.'
"Hai."
"Excellent, so how about that Miss Kinomoto."
"Er-huh, ye-yes sure! Arigatou!"
He smiled at her, hand gesturing her to sit down. Giving a slight bow she strolled careful to her seat at the back corner of the classroom. She watched as many students gave her sympathetic glances.
What is their problem?
Tomoyo looked at her, her expression blank.
She gulped before taking her seat in front of the boy that haunted most of her thoughts. He looked away as soon as she made eye contact, his head sharply turning to the window, looking at the cherry blossom petals fall.
"And for our first lesson, class we have calculus." Sakura groaned along with the rest of the class unaware of the amber eyes set upon her. What Syaoran did not realise was that Tomoyo was watching him. With a very hard look, she looked away from him, her eyes softening at her confused cousin.
If he hurts her, I swear to god I will kill the bastard.
The bell rang signalling the end of class. Sakura stood up almost rigidly before turning to glance at Syaoran. He looked up at her from his desk. She could see in his eyes there was no way in hell he was going to help her so she sighed and walked away.
"Sakura-chan?"
She turned to find Tomoyo standing there, looking at her very suspiciously.
"Yes Tomoyo-chan."
"Where was Li-kun last night?" She paled at the question.
How could she-
"Kinomoto-san rang saying he found a pair of boy shoes in the porch as well as you acting strange plus Li-kun didn't turn up at Eriol's chip shop."
Sakura looked down guiltily at the floor. She could remember Tomoyo pacifically asking her to stay away from him but she didn't.
"I found him on the floor on the way home from school. He hurt his ankle and had some scratches. I swear he would've been gone earlier but oni-chan came home early." She looked up to see Tomoyo shake her head in a hopeless manner.
She looked up with shining amethyst eyes.
"Oh Sakura-chan, what are we going to do with you?"
"Mou Tomoyo-chan, not nice. Anyway when am I going to meet this prince in shining armour?"
As much as Tomoyo teased her, she knew very well Tomoyo's soft spot after herself, Eriol was the next closest to Tomoyo.
She could remember when she was very young how Tomoyo would never talk to anyone but her, and would only glare at out comers. It turned out that they were cousins. Her mother and Tomoyo's were sisters of the Amamyia line. Tomoyo who was not planning on taking over the Daidouji Company had been passed onto her. Sakura Kinomoto, the next heir. Although Sakura has not particularly wanted to she much appreciated the thought and accepted.
Leading her to where she was presently. They had moved here because of her instead of her otou-san's work.
"Whenever." Was her simple answer.
"Tomoyo-chan?"
"Hai Sakura-chan."
"Onegai could you excuse me a moment?"
"Of course Sakura-chan."
"Arigatou." Running off, she followed the signs towards the lavatory. Rushing in there she wiped the tears flowing down her cheeks.
She had thought of her okaa-san again. Her okaa-san had passed away when she was only 13 and that is when she turned. Splashing cold water on her face, she looked at herself in the mirror. Taking laboured breaths she sunk to the floor. Clawing her fingers through her auburn hair, she squeezed her eyes shut.
No! She could not allow it. Dark Sakura was trying to come back. She often had these attacks when she thought about her okaa-san but lately it had been getting better. Sighing she forced some words out of her mouth.
"You had my heart, we'll never be worlds apart."
Her voice was high pitched at first but she slowly adjusted her voice.
"They be in magazines, but you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark you can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share because
When the sun shine we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more then ever know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella"
She felt herself relax and allow the song to indulge her, swallowing her up
"
When the sun shine we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more then ever know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more because
It's raining
Oh baby it's raining
Baby come into me"
She was startled when she heard clapping from the outside. Standing up, she opened the door slightly only to find the corridor empty, only to find a cherry blossom on the floor.
Sakura questioned the sight in front of her, a puzzled look gracing her features. Somebody had heard her. In the toilet. Singing for no goddamn reason. They must've been taking the piss out of her.
Shit.
Picking it up she noticed a piece of paper under it. Bending again to retrieve the scrap she opened it to find a map of the school and all her classrooms were written down.
Her eyebrows rose before looking scared. She felt as if she was being watched, a patrinizing gaze held upon her lithe frame. Shrugging it off, she ran down the hallway of which she came not turning back. But if she had she would have noticed the curiously dead cold amber eyes following her form.
Gah! I have a writer's block, I tried so hard with this chapter and all I came out with was this!
Ah well, Sakura has a past; Tomoyo has one as does Eriol. BUT lets remember the story will be mainly about Syaoran- even if he doesn't talk for a while- hehe.
OK! I'm asking for 10 reviews or more before I even begin to write the next chapter. Yes I know this one was lame and short but I promise you next one will be better!
