WhyteRayne
Chapter:8
When Sakura had asked Syaoran to open up, she expected him to tell his views, interests, likes, feelings etc. etc. but a cheeky Syaoran was the last thing she imagined and now here he stood, with his 'stupid' wide grin on.
"Hey piggy, I just saw a mud hole down the hill. Want me to drop you there?"
"I. am. Not. A. pig!" Sakura fiercely muttered.
"Of course not. You're not just any pig, you are…um…princess pig! So, your pigginess, where should we go now?" Syaoran teased.
Sakura felt like banging her head against a wall.
Hey, why should I hurt myself when there is a better target…
And with that a well-aimed kick landed on his shin.
Yup, I knew that my experience with Touya would pay off sooner or later.
Syaoran hobbled around on one leg while he clutched his injured one.
"Ow…ow…ow… That hurt!"
Sakura gave him a sickly sweet smile,
"Well, this is ME. Like it?"
Syaoran laughed.
He laughs…? Never imagined that…
"Fine, so now we're quits."
"Not exactly….."
"Oh c'mon. Anyways we should head back cuz I don't think our little piggy likes to go hungry." He said and patted her stomach.
"Excuse me…?" she spoke with a look which said 'What the…'
"What?"
"What do you mean by little piggy there?"
"I meant you and your stomach. What else…?"
"Oh…you meant that?"
"Why what di…" and then Syaoran burst out laughing.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe it."
"Hey!" Sakura stamped her foot.
"You thought that I was talking about a little piggy inside you…Ha Ha Ha…oh dear…"
"You said 'our little piggy'…" And then she abruptly stopped.
An awkward silence stretched while the two fidgeted nervously.
"Uhh…We should make a move." He finally spoke.
They sat in the car with the same silence. So Syaoran tried changing the mood.
"Hey, Hands off the seat!"
"Hunh?"
"I said 'Hands Off The Seat'. Your nails might damage the white leather."
Sakura rolled her eyes but then decided to play a bit,
"You mean like this…" and she poked her finger into the seat.
"HEY!"
And then they both laughed. Syaoran started the car and drove away.
So what was happening back at the Prom hall? Lets look around. Hmm…no Tomoyo, no Fay, no Takashi, no Chiharu, no weird looking blue haired nerd…err…I mean Eriol…oh he's there. Finally, but he's sitting alone. Wonder what happened to Megan 'Fox' Brown? So lets check out,
Well, since I'm sitting like a jobless ass, I'll tell you what happened over here. Things were going well and I-we say Syaoran and Sakura leave. Never thought Syaoran was so fast in picking them up. Anyways, after they left we all danced and drank…some a bit too much. So Megan is throwing up in the wash room, Yamazaki and Chiharu left for his car and Fay and Tomoyo went somewhere, most probably to get something to…ah…alleviate the discomfort. And I'm stuck here, bored, waiting for any of those bastards to show up. Heck, I'll go find them myself.
Eriol got of the stool and looked around for any of them. He poked around the hall, at times taking a look at any…umm… prospective clients (which means he was sighting girls). After concluding that none of them was in the hall he moved to check the side rooms.
Room 1. Empty
Room 2. Ugh…smells
Room 3. A Couple, kissing.
Roo….
He abruptly stopped.
A couple…
Kissing…
Boy, blond messy hair…
Girl, long black hair…
…Shit…
He sprinted back to Room 3 and spied through the keyhole. What he saw gave him an uncontrollable urge to kill somebody, but he reeled it in. Okaaayy, so lets peek through the keyhole,
There stood a blond boy and a black haired girl, their foreheads touching each other's.
They moved a bit closer…
Their noses touching now…
Deep breaths…
Mouths open slightly…
Lips brushing…
And then…
"OWW!"
What the… who was it?
Eriol was rubbing the back of his head while a sexy girl in a bright red revealing dress glared at him.
"What's the meaning of this!" She demanded.
"Megan, not now. Please." Eriol pushed her aside and peeped through the keyhole once again.
Frustrated, Megan stormed away. Now who wouldn't, you get drunk, throw up and come back to see your partner spying thru a keyhole, too much for a girl like 'her' to take.
Now back to where the actions happening,
Their lips parted…
The two stare into each other's eyes…
The girl touches her lips and then her eyes go wide…
She runs towards the door…
The door…? Uh oh…
Pain and darkness…
Blood from nose…
Note to self: Stupidity while spying through keyholes can be injurious to health…well at least to the nose.
Guess Eriol escaped breaking his nose. I hate him!
But the girl sped out without even noticing either of us.
"Tomoyo…"
Syaoran parked the car and the two stepped out with cheerful faces. Sakura walked forward while Syaoran locked the car.
"Syao-Uhh…Li-kun, what's up with that car?" Sakura asked pointing at a white Honda Civic with dark tinted glasses.
"First, you can call me Syaoran. Second, check it out for yourself. I'm not intre…" He stopped. "Lets go…" And he headed towards the car.
A few steps and the car suddenly stopped shaking. Sakura and Syaoran stopped as well.
"Yamazaki's car…" He whispered.
Suddenly the rear door opened and a brunette girl with braids at the side of her head stepped out. She looked sweaty and her dress was askew.
Syaoran pulled Sakura and hid behind a car.
"Chiharu…" Sakura whispered.
Chiharu nervously looked around and then mumbled something.
Syaoran crouched down and tried getting closer, Sakura followed him.
"I should leave now." Chiharu spoke to someone inside the car. She turned on her heel and took a few steps when a voice came from behind.
"Chi, I think you're missing something." The voice teased.
Chiharu turned,
"What?" she asked.
A cloth came flying out and she instinctively caught it…and blushed. She was holding a pair of lacy, black panties...her panties.
Syaoran gave a light cough while Sakura's ears heated up.
Yamazaki stepped out of the car with sly grin on. Chiharu turned around and ran away, leaving Yamazaki chuckling.
Syaoran decided to reveal himself,
"Now, wasn't that amusing"
Yamazaki turned his head and faced Syaoran while Sakura too got up from her crouched position.
"Syaoran, what are you doing here?"
"I have to be blind to miss a car rocking in the parking lot."
"Actually you did…" Sakura spoke with a small grin.
He just gave her a look which she ignored.
"So what was going on over there?" Syaoran asked.
"Ahh…private stuff…but you already know so no need for me to speak." And with that he coolly walked towards the hall, leaving Sakura and Syaoran shaking their heads.
Lying on his bed, Eriol thought about the same thing which he had been thinking for the past whole week, about what he saw that night.
Tomoyo…
Fay…
Tomoyo and Fay…
Tomoyo and Fay kissing…
For some unknown reason he felt hatred towards Fay but he pushed it aside. This incident was known to nobody else. He hadn't told it to Syaoran or anybody and he was pretty sure that Fay and Tomoyo were also unaware that he had seen them…kissing.
Why did she do that? What about what she said to me that night? What about… Several questions popped in Eriol's mind.
Finally he concluded,
She has moved on and so should I. If she likes him, who am I to object to that.
With that he rolled over and slipped into an uncomfortable slumber.
"You guys saw Tomoyo today?" Syaoran asked Eriol and Yamazaki.
"Nope" Yamazaki replied.
"Ask Fay…" Eriol replied in a snide voice.
"Good idea" Syaoran said missing out the venom in his voice.
Syaoran searched for Fay and found him next to the cafeteria talking to Sakura.
"Hey Fay, you saw Tomoyo today?" he asked.
"That's what I was asking Sakura."
Syaoran turned to Sakura,
"So piggy, did you see her?"
Sakura whacked his arm,
"Stop that and no, I didn't see her. She isn't picking up her phone either."
"And you call yourself her best friend?"
Sakura snorted.
"Pig!" He exclaimed earning him another smack from her while Fay chuckled.
"I guess we should go to her house later." Fay spoke.
And so they agreed to visit her in the evening.
At 5 in the evening, Sakura, Syaoran and Fay left for Tomoyo's house. Eriol and Yamazaki were 'busy' as they couldn't come along. Each of them was on their own mode of transport. At times they preferred to dump their cars and go unhindered so Sakura was on her rollerblades, Syaoran on his skateboard and Fay on his cycle.
"Shouldn't we get something for her?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran smacked his head,
"Shit, I had just got the latest edition of the 'Cosmopolitan' and I thought of giving it to her."
"A magazine, huh…"
Suddenly Sakura stopped and shouted,
"Hey look. Those red flowers by the road. They're so beautiful. Why don't we give these to her?"
"That would be good." Fay said.
Syaoran got off his skateboard and picked a bunch of them,
"At least they look better than when you blush." Syaoran commented. Sakura wasn't impressed so she tried giving him a nice kick in the shins, but he dodged it.
"I don't fall for the same thing twice." He said with a cheeky grin.
"Gah…"
He jumped on to his skateboard before she could do anything else and sped ahead.
A few minutes later they reached Tomoyo's mansion where a maid welcomed them. When they asked her about Tomoyo she said,
"Tomoyo-sama has not come out of her room today. She just came out in the morning, picked up a magazine and has been in her room since then."
Worried expressions came up on their faces as the maid led them to Tomoyo's room. They called out from outside but got no reply. Syaoran turned the door knob and pushed it. The door opened.
Stepping inside they saw things littered all around. Papers, books, pencils were thrown around. On the bed lay a figure with its back at them. Syaoran and Sakura picked the stuff while Fay moved towards the figure, flowers in his hand.
"Tomoyo…"
She sniffed.
"What happened?"
*Sniff*
"I think I know what happened" Sakura's voice came from behind. She was holding a magazine in her hands.
"Tomoyo-chan was not selected for the Fashion search."
Tomoyo started wailing on the bed. Fay tried consoling her,
"Shh…Come on Tomoyo. Look we got flowers for you."
She turned her head. Tears streaked down her face and her eyes bloodshot.
"Anemone…" she spoke in a throaty voice.
"Well I never knew what they were called."
"A dying hope…"
"What?"
"They represent a dying hope"
Crap…
"I-uh seriously didn't know what they meant. I didn't even know their name." Fay tried explaining.
"You came here to mock me, right?"
"N-No…"
"I hate you…" And she buried her face in the pillow.
Fay turned at Sakura and Syaoran for help. Sakura didn't know what to do but Syaoran moved forward,
"Just because they didn't choose you, you accepted defeat. You accepted you're not good enough."
Tomoyo suddenly sat up and shrieked,
"Then why were my designs rejected?"
"Those bastards are blind!"
"That still doesn't change the fact that my designs weren't good enough."
Syaoran sighed,
"If they didn't like your designs does that mean they are bad?"
No reply.
"What about you, Sakura? Why do you think? Are her dresses bad?"
"N-No…"
"See…"
Tomoyo gave them a weak smile,
"Thanks, but…"
"No buts. And do pack your bags; we'll be leaving for Osaka next week."
"Osaka…?"
"Yes, WhyteRayne does need its Costume designer."
Tomoyo beamed.
"You got it…"
After around an hour of chatting, they left Tomoyo's house. It was almost dark. Fay went one side while Sakura and Syaoran the other.
"You handled the situation well." Sakura spoke to him.
"Ya, and you were such a help." He sarcastically replied.
Sakura snorted.
"See, that's why I call you a pig."
She sighed,
"Look Syaoran, I know that its fun for you but could you please stop it."
Her voice gave him a sort of guilty feeling,
"Oh sorry, its just that you're one of the few who know this side of me."
"But still…"
"Okay so I'll come up with a better name net time."
"You can just call me Sakura."
"Ahh, but that's too common and everyone calls you that. I should have a special name for you. Y'know, Special person, special name."
Sakura didn't know why but when he said this she felt something inside her rising.
Special Person…He thinks I'm special…
