What I heard was disgraceful
I'd almost wish it were dull
I'm in your thoughts
Where friends are twisted and obscene
Others are happy
It's a vacation for freedom
But I've been separated
And long for the old
Chapter 6-
The thought of Machi even talking to Sakura made Syaoran want to gag. Now he saw that they were friends. Or so it appeared.
Using his acute ears Syaoran tried to listen to what they were talking about.
"Sakura, why do you look so down? It's been four days!" Machi cried out in frustration.
Syaoran saw Tomoyo's lips move as she lowered her head to mutter, but he couldn't hear what she said. He smirked because he could tell that it was obviously something that insulted Machi.
"What was that Daidouji?!" Machi asked Tomoyo icily.
Tomoyo smiled pleasantly and replied as sweet as she could, "Oh, it was nothing. I was just muttering to myself about how I had planned to have an outfit finished four days ago for Sakura. When you mentioned it, I remembered those clothes… sorry for the disturbance."
Machi nodded suspiciously and addressed Tomoyo. "You should be sorry, you're such a pathetic person." Whipping her head upward in a snobbish fashion, she resumed talking to Sakura. "You haven't said a word, Sakura! What's wrong?"
Sakura smiled faintly, making Syaoran shudder in anticipation of what she'd say. 'Four days ago? That's when I kissed Machi…' he thought.
Sakura's voice was seemed evanescent in the wind as she asked quietly, "How did he kiss?"
Machi knitted her eyebrows together and asked, "How did who kiss? Shizu is by far the greatest kisser I've kissed yet, after all, if he wasn't I doubt we'd still be together. But last period, Tachi did please me a little… and Yero slobbers all over the place, it's rather gross, but that's what I get for going to the movies with him last night. Ediel is satisifying, but I haven't kissed him since…"
Sakura interrupted, a touch of annoyance in her voice. "Dai! How did DAI kiss?"
Machi growled at the sound of 'Dai' and scolded Sakura, "I almost forgot! You came along as we were kissing! And then he threw me off of him! You are SO inconsiderate! He seemed kind of inexperienced and had a lazy mouth… but I bet it would have gotten better if you didn't show up!"
Sakura almost seemed glad until Machi continued, "But it doesn't matter now anyway, he's probably the biggest jerk I have ever met."
"Jerk?" Sakura asked, an innocent expression filling her face.
"Yeah, he wasn't much of a sport, and he is obviously BAD NEWS. Do you like him?" Machi asked mischievously.
"I had met him and thought he seemed like a nice person…"
Machi seemed to get a glint in her eyes as she viciously said. "Nice person? Ahaha… well, he's a pervert that likes to slap girls around. He kept playing with my hands and then after he kissed me he tossed me off his lap… almost like I was a toy. He's obviously one of those freaks that like to play with girls, cause them pain, and then throw them out."
Sakura's eyes widened. "That's horrible! But… didn't you say his kiss seemed… inexperienced? You have a pretty crazy reputation, so I'm sure you couldn't be wrong…"
Machi laughed and made a quick response. "It was just a deploy so that I'd think he was innocent and wanted a random kiss. I wouldn't go around spreading this though, he actually threatened to make my life hell!"
Sakura's eyes kept growing bigger at every moment that Machi made Syaoran seem like a grotesque person. She looked down, disappointed. Machi took no notice and said, "It's ok! There are plenty of other guys out there! I've hooked you up with plenty, if you really want another…"
In hearing the conversation, Syaoran almost ran over to Sakura to tell her how Machi wasn't telling the story right. As he was about to lift his foot to run over, he felt Shizu grasp his shoulder.
Syaoran turned around to face Shizu, anger exploding in all his moves. "THAT BITCH! How dare she lie like that! How DARE SHE! She's corrupted Sakura- can't you tell? She's the one that hooks up Sakura with the guys, no wonder Sakura is getting a bad reputation, she's going around with that slut!"
Shizu punched Syaoran in the cheek, the unexpected blow making Syaoran run into the fence. As Syaoran was about to rush into Shizu to prepare himself for a fight, Shizu sat down at the tree and waved his hand at Syaoran.
"I'm not going to fight you."
Syaoran stopped dead in his tracks and sweatdropped. Then as anger marks appeared on his head, he yelled, "Then what the heck was that?"
"You're disgracing the name of my girlfriend, and I won't tolerate it," Shizu said simply, his attention to the smoky air around him.
Syaoran growled, "It's all true though!"
"Ehhhhhhhh… that's beside the point," Shizu argued.
Syaoran sighed and said in defeat, "Fine then, I'm sorry for shoving the truth of your terrible- I mean… 'different' girlfriend into your face. She's lied to Sakura and made Sakura seem like a bad person to the everyone else though, and I can't abide by that."
Shizu said carefully, not wanting to anger Syaoran any more, "But did Machi really lie?"
"YES!" Syaoran argued.
"Think about it, Dai. She said that you were an inexperienced and lazy kisser… she never said that you were coming onto her. In fact, she basically said you didn't want to kiss her… but it just wasn't taken that way. You DID toss her off you and you did threaten to make her life hell. Machi just… rearranged the story to her liking. It's your own fault for doing what you did."
Syaoran was stunned into a speechless misery. 'Dang it! How could things get so screwed up like this? I have no one I can talk to in order to get closer to Sakura and whatever I do will be undone by Machi. What is there that I can do?'
"That really gotcha, didn't it?" Shizu stood up and patted Syaoran on the back. "Dai, I really pity you. You seem so lost and vulnerable. But now that school's over, I can officially start roaming with my buds. Care to join us?"
Syaoran shook his head. "I've just got to think a little bit. I feel a bit overwhelmed."
Shizu nodded. "If ya ever need anything, I'm usually all over the place. You're bound to see me around sometime."
"Thanks," Syaoran said bluntly.
Shizu tossed a worried glance toward Syaoran before walking away. "He's getting odder every time I talk to him…" Syaoran heard Shizu say to himself.
If the situation wasn't so dismal, Syaoran would have smiled. However, as things stood, Syaoran felt like all thoughts in his mind had crashed down. In the past few minutes, he found out that the girl that he loved so dearly was a friend of the person he had already hated, that hated person was telling stories to make Syaoran seem even more terrible for making a mistake, his loved one apparently 'slept around', had no emotional attachments, and was building herself a bad reputation.
'I almost want to lock myself up in my room for another few days…' Syaoran thought, a wave of burning feelings sweeping through his body. 'But I'm not that dumb… I'll just have to find a solution.'
As he turned away from the school, he felt his determination to gain Sakura grow stronger. Having no idea what to do next, Syaoran stopped to think.
Almost depressed enough to walk back to the apartment to Wei's gluttonous ways, Syaoran was delighted to see a miracle walk in front of him.
The miracle walked toward him with a set face full of resentment that would sometimes disappear by a glow of dark purple hair…
A/N- Wow… I wrote this… a long time ago, lol. But what I found really amazing was… there were people on the watch list and on my notify list! **cries** I must be a real let down to you guys… I'm sorry! I have every intention of finishing every story that I have written! Please continue with the feedback, for all you non-writers out there… you wouldn't believe how uplifting it is to see reviews, and to the writers- you know what I mean! (that is if anyone still reads my stories, lol)
