Title: Double Lives

Summary: Sakura is a 16 year old dork at her school. She is not very popular and is often teased for being late all the time. She does have one really good friend named Tomoyo Daidoji though who could be the most popular girl in school if she decided to. But, instead she would rather stay with her dear childhood friend Sakura. Syaoran Li is the most popular guy in school, too confident for his own good. He has known Tomoyo and Sakura his whole life and, has teased Sakura ever since she was a little girl. But, little does everyone know, Sakura is the girl that everyone is dying to be friends with, especially the guys. She is a legend on the internet but, a nobody in the school. What could happen?

Chapter Six: Getting Back to Routine

I stared at the computer screen, a frown causing my eyebrows to srunch up a bit as I nervously bit my bottom lip. I've gone about three days without checking my messages or getting online. I have no idea how many messages I am going to have or what they're going to be about, especially since Syaoran's little display of affection today.

I sighed and clicked the sign in button that would surely lead to my doom. I squeezed my eyes shut and waited...waited for the 'bing' that would allow me to know that I was indeed signed on...and it came. I opened one eye slowly and chanced a glance at the number of emails I had. My jaw drop and my other eye opened as well.

"213?!"

I stared in shock at the number before me and then the little pop up went away...and my offline messages appeared.

It took me about fifteen or twenty minutes to get through the offline messages, they were mainly just people asking if I was on but, invisible. I gulped anxiously as I once again recalled the number of emails I was going to have to check. How could I possibly get so many? I opened the first one tentatively and it was just one of the girls at my school asking how my weekend was.

When I opened the next message and it was spam I realized. Maybe I should sort through my emails first...

The whole sort through my emails process was agonizingly slow going and it was all I could to stop from pulling my hair when the little pop up at the bottom right hand corner of the screen announced I had another email. When I deleted all the jumk mail, I had 107 left to read from the students.

"Well, let's get started shall we?" I spoke to no one in particular as I clicked on the first message.

Hey Saku,

I have a major problem. I don't know which major to take. Should I go with Journalism or Clothes Design? I mea, who wouldn't want to be another Lois Lane? But, I love clothes so much. Write back soon!

With Love,

Keiko

I blinked a few times as I stared at the screen. Hm...Keiko...I could have swarn her's would have been about a boy. I sighed and clicked reply and began typing a response.

Keiko,

Hm...that's a tough decision. But, you know, you could major in Journalism in high school and go for a Clothes Design major in college with a minor in Journalism. That way you can study both. Think about it!

Later,

Saku

I smiled in satisfaction. I think should be pretty good. I moved onto the next email and my jaw dropped.

SAKURA KINOMOTO IS TOO CLOSE TO SYAORAN LI!

I want her out of the picture, I want him for myself! It's not fair! It's not fair, I tell you! She's done something. I swear. He used to always make fun of her and now he's sudden;y spending all this time with her. The little bitch has to pay! I won't stand for it!

Give me advice on this,

Yuki

I stared at the computer screen, my eyes wide. Oh my Kamii-sama...I'm so dead at school tomorrow.

I shook my head and decided I'd think about that later. I've got to finish reading these emails. So, I clicked on the next message but, this one was no better.

Saku,

I'm scared for Syaoran Li. That evil little witch Kinomot is doing something to him. She's changing him. It's like she performed some kind of creepy voodoo spell on him...would it be too harsh to burn her at the stake? I swear she's a witch!

Help,

Ren

I gulped as I read through a few more emails and realization dawned on me. They were almost all about the same thing. The whole female population of my school wanted me dead. And how ironinc, they wanted my advice to help them do it.

After about an hour and a half of opening the emails, reading them, and definitely not replying to them, I was finally on the last one. I squeezed my eyes shut and cringed slightly as I opened the last message. It took a moment to calm my breathing before I was able to read the message. It's not all that easy to just calmly sit there and read about a hundred or so messages from people saying that they want you dead.

But, this message wasn't like the others. This message was asking for advice, and not advice on how best to kill me.

Hey,

Look, I've never asked you for advice before but, you're a girl, and I'm a guy needing a little advice on something relating to a girl. I wouldn't have come to you if my two insane cousins who are supposed to be helping me were actually doing any good. So, I guess I'll have to tell you my problem now.

I like this girl...no, I'm in love with this girl...and she has no idea. She also happens to hate me more than I hate myself for treating her the way I do and trust me, that's saying something. I want to make her like me, we were friends when we were younger but, I was a complete ass then too. I don't even need her to want to be with me in that way if she doesn't want to. It'd be great if she did of course but, beggars can't be choosers.

I need to know what to do to get someone who absolutely despises you to at least give you the time of day. I want to make her see that I don't have to be such a jerk all the time but, everytime I'm nice to her, i feel llike she'll see right through me and know how I feel.

So, I need help, I don't care if she finds out I'm secretly in love with her anymore. I just want her to not hate me. I want to make it up to her. How do you fix five years of bad things? I don't have anywhere else to go. How can I possily make her forgive me for all the horrible things I've done to her?

Please,

The Biggest idiot On The Face Of The Earth

I laughed a little at how he signed the email. Hm...this guy is in serious trouble. As I reread the email I couldn't help thinking that his secret love seemed to be going through alot of the same things I was. So, why not say what would make me forgive Syaoran? Hm...I suppose that could probably help him since I had so much experience with a simialr situation...except from the girl's point of view.

The Biggest Idiot On The Face Of The Earth,

You really are the biggest idiot on the face of the earth you know. However, I think I may be able to help you with this, You're quite lucky. Let's just hope this girl is as forgiving a person as I am. And I will tell you a few things you can do to try and make it up to her. For one, even if she asks you straight out is you like her, you tell her "Damn straight." or something like that. Walk her to school in the morning and carry her things for her. Make her feel protected by you. Make an effort to be nice...if you're at a store and you see something that reminds you of her and you have enough money, buy it for her. And if anyone, and I mean anyone, says anything mean to her or about her, you stand up for her. you be the first person to tell them to shut up. Oh and give it time to work out. she might think it's all an act at first. After a couple of weeks, if this isn't working at all, then email me again.

Your savior,

Saku

I smiled at my reply. I think this might really help him. And I feel awful for that girl. She's going through pretty much the same thing as me. I grinned lazily as I finally signed off of the internet and closed the laptop. Then I groaned. I still have lots of homework.

Syaoran's POV

I flopped down on the bed, Sakura's words playing over and over in my head.

"Um...why are you worried about me anyway? It's not like we're friends."

I sighed. Kamii, I'm such an idiot. I took a quick glance around the room, my forest green walls werea faint reminder of Sakura's eyes, I made a face. Then my eyes landed on the computer at my custom desk and I sat up sudden;y remembering the email I had sent that morning before coming to school.

"Hm..."

I got off the bed and walked resolutely to the desk, I sat in the chair and spoke my password to the computer. 'emerald blossoms' I flushed a little, I always did when I said my password. Sakura has me wrapped around her pinky and doesn't even know it.

A cool female voice informed me that I had one new mail message and I clciked the icon that sent me straight to my email inbox. There it was. She had replied to my message. I read it.

The Biggest Idiot On The Face Of The Earth,

Your savior,

Saku

I chuckled a little. So, this girl had a sense of humor. Well, I guess I can try her suggestions. I clicked the reply button for the sake of courtesy. But, my message was more joking than polite.

Dear Savior,

Thanks dude. Just kidding, you're a chic right? Again, just kidding. I know you are of the female population but, I don't like your name...um...don't ask why. It's nothing against you. Oh well, aren't I grateful? Sorry about that. I've had a not so great day at school especially because I was a bit worried about my special someone and she bit my head off for it. However, I will not be discouraged, and I will take heed to your advice. I shall sweep her off her feet with my charm. Even though it hasn't worked yet. But, I might have to beat this guy up first. Depends on the situation really. thanks for the help. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks,

The Biggest Idiot On the Face Of The Earth Who Now Has A Bit Of Help

I chuckled a little deeper this time. Might as well reply to her humor with a little humor of my own. I was staring at the computer when a knock on my door interrupted my thoughts.

"Come in."

An ecstatic looking Meiling bounced into the room causing the streams of hair on both sides of her head to bounce with her. She flopped onto my bed as I had done moments before.

"Guess what!"

I stared at her already bored.

'What?"

She tilted her head to the side and bit her bottom lip. A frown crossed her face as she stared at me as if deciding whether to tell me or not. Apparently she wasn't going to spill.

"Hm...nevermind. You're obviously not interested. Even though it would be a great way for you to get onto Sakura's good side...or at least be able to spend time with her at all. But, with yuor attitude, I don't think you deserve to know anyway."

She stuck her nose up in the air. My eyebrow twitched.

"How would I be able to spend time with Sakura?"

Meiling looked at me with a slight smirk on her face.

"I just told you that I wasn't going to tell you since your attitude leaves something to be desired."

I grimaced slightly.

"Fine, I'm sorry, now would you please just tell me Meiling?" My voice sounded more pleading than I had meant for it to sound. Maybe I wasn't acting.

She examined my facial expression closely obviously trying to decide if I truly wanted to know or not. She seemed satisfied that I did since she nodded her head and grinned.

"Well, Sakura-chan, you know how she was always so athletic, well, she hasn't been into any athletics at school lately, in fact, I'm starting to thin that she's getting a bit out of shape. She works out and all but, still, she's not in as good shape as she used to be. And I know she never wants to forget about her cheerleading and gymnastic skills. She loved doing that stuff, I still don't know why she quit."

I looked down slightly ashamed before and she continued without noticing my slight change of mood.

"Well, I've been thinking that she could also use some martial arts training, you never know when something might happen. And Sakura-chan is so kawaii, someone's bound to try and kidnap her one day. She needs to be able to protect herself."

Meiling nodded as if that settled everything and I stared at her a little confused.

"And what exactly does that have to do with me?"

That's when Meiling's face took on an expression that I did not like at all.

"Why, Syaoran, you are going to become Sakura-chan's personal trainer. Of course, i'll tell Sakura-chan that I'll be training her...and then I'll just make something up to convince her that I can't possibly do it and that you'll have to."

She grinned from ear to ear. I groaned.

"Kamii...Meiling..."

I brought my hand to my face and just covered my eyes with the palm of my hand as I thought of all the ways this could go wrong. So terribly wrong.

She however just smiled.

"Don't worry, I've got it all under control. You and Sakura-chan will be lip locking in no time!"

She winked, and I could feel my face burn. I picked up a book from my desk and through it across the room at her, she ducked and it just barely missed, I glared.

"Meiling, get out."

She grinned at me again and then jumped up and bounced out of the room. Now, I could finally have a moment to think to myself. I turned off the computer and made my way back to the bed thinking of how Sakura might possibly react if I showed up at her door tomorrow. She'd probably call the police but, I suppose I could live with that.

I ran a hand through my hair making it even messier than it was. I contemplated Meiling's idea as well...and then I remembered that guy. The one named Ryo. I would have to find some way to take care of him. I couldn't risk him getting in the way. I groaned in frustration as Sakura's face appeared in my head. Her short choppy hair swaying lightly in an invisible breeze. I could almost smell her but, it was nothing like when she was actually standing there next to you. Her emerald eyes were closed in a brilliant smile.

I groaned again and flopped backwards on the bed.

"Sakura...I'm sorry."

That's when I decided. No joking. And at all costs. I would not treat Sakura bad. I would make her see that I wasn't always a jerk. I nodded my head to myself as if emphasizing my point. I got off the bed and walked out of the room with my jaw set. I headed in the familiar direction of Meiling's room. She told me to come in as soon as I knocked. As I entered the room she stared up at me expectantly.

"Well?"

"Do it. I want to train Sakura."
