Chapter 7 - The Confession
Sakura's P.O.V
After the gun training, I went straight to bed. I was assigned a new bedroom, next to Syaoran's room. It was just like his, only a bit more… feminine. Anyways, my head hurt, my ears hurt, and I was utterly confused. So the guy pecked me. So he teased me. I knew he knew me. I just didn't know him. I barely slept, even though I was extremely tired. The next morning, I let my thoughts wander to Syaoran.
Before I could continue my thoughts, my three best friends came in.
"How's our Saku?" Tomoyo said, as they all came in and sat on my bed. I slid off the covers of my comfy bed and sat up with them.
"I'm fine!" I said.
"Really? You're not shaken up?" Meiling asked, frowning in concern.
"I'm alright. And don't frown, dear. It gives you wrinkles." I answered to Mei.
"How are things with Li?" Chiharu asked. Damned that girl. I loved her, but did she have to bring that matter right now? Apparently, no one agreed with me, since all of them were whispering 'tell us!' and 'come on!'. And they're just three!
"Alright, aright!" I yelled. "We're fine… I guess… We kissed, and-"
"WHAT?!" the three screamed. "Why didn't you tell us?" Tomoyo finished.
"Because I knew how you would react! See?" I reasoned. They smiled sheepishly at me.
"We're sorry…" They apologized. I sighed, and continued.
"I don't know, it feels...weird. I mean, the man loves me, and I don't remember him!"
"But don't you feel anything for him?" Meiling asked.
"I-I don't know… I mean, he's hot, charming, nice, but also teasing… I don't know if it's lust, or love!" I answered.
"Yeah, but you were in love with him once, right? Maybe you're falling all over again!" Chiharu said, excited. I stopped. Excited. That means…
"KAWAII!" all of them screamed.
"You guys are terrible… And there's no way I could fall in love with him in one day. That's just impossible." I rested my head in my palm, not noticing Mei looking at the door.
"Girls, we should go now." she said quietly.
"Hoe? You're going already?" I whined. They nodded sadly, got up and left. Soon after they left, someone knocked at the door.
"Come in!" I said, and Reno, Eriol and Takashi came in. I stood up from my bed.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" I asked, as they came in, ruffled my hair and sat down in my room, Eriol on the chair next to my desk, Reno on my bed, and Takashi on the ground.
"We wanted to see how you were doing." Eriol said.
"Well, I'm fine! Now, Tak, why are you guys here?"
"We just wanted to… hang out with you?" he answered me. I had to resist the urge to laugh. I shook my head and looked at Reno.
"Reno-nii…" I heard Eriol groan, and I smirked evilly. "Why are you here?"
"I-We-You…" he stuttered. Reno was such a lousy liar.
"Ling Reno! Answer my question properly!" I demanded. He hated when I used his full name. He winced and took a deep breath.
"We're leaving next month, to England."
"So? It's one month, we still have lots of time. That's it?" I saw them gap at me, but they all nodded, but one of them nodded more stiffly. Care to guess who?
"Reno-nii…" he was opening his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Takashi
"Fuck Ling! Can't you just shut your fucking mouth?"
"Hey! N-" I started scolding him, but was interrupted by a deep voice.
"No swearing in Hime's room!" the amber-eyed man said, as he walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I instantly cringed and blushed. The guys smirked evilly at me, and I didn't even turn to see Syaoran's face.
"So these losers didn't tell you yet?" I shook my head. "Damn. They can shoot men merciless, but can't even deliver some news to a girl. Geez." he mocked. I nodded, agreeing.
"She's not just any girl! She's our baby sister! And if you hurt her…" The three started.
"He won't." I said flatly. We all fell silent, until Syaoran spoke again.
"So, you know we're going to England next month, right?" I nod. He turned to the boys. "Did you tell her why?"
"Not yet." Eriol answered. Syaoran sighed and murmured something about 'sissy gangsters' and about how 'incompetent' they were.
"Well, we're going there because my mother has information about your condition." I nod. But I was curious about something.
"Why are you telling me this?" And as they say, 'curiosity killed the cat'.
"Because you're coming with us, Princess."
A/N: Another chappie, guys! I don't think there's anything confusing in this chapter, but I hope you like it! No worries, I'm gonna try to make some fluffy SxS moments!
Oh, and I guess I deceived you with this chapter's name! Sorry 'bout that!
Yours truly,
