Today is for you

Chapter 10: Self-Control

They're the worst. Their eyes slide up your body. Up and down. Up and down. They pretend to bump into you when really they're just trying to feel you, bottoms or up. They think they're so cool but really drool is dripping from the sides of their mouths and their eyes tell it all. No self-control, those monsters.

"That girl you got, she's hot." One of them with a nose the size of a pig gurgled excitedly.

"Shut up." For the first time, the beast's voice didn't sound that beastly. Even though he was grinding his teeth and clenching his fists…

"Her bust size is great…want to lend her to me?"

I was going to run and stick my shoe into his mouth, when suddenly the pig was hoisted in the air and slammed against the wall.

"I said, shut up." Syaoran held him up and was snarling in his ear.

"Whoa... you've gone crazy man. All I mean is that shouldn't buddies shar—" Syaoran's fist moved like lightning and the pig slid down to the floor with blood dribbling fast down across his lips.

"Bastard…" was all the pig could manage before being kicked in the stomach.

Touya rounded the corner and stopped Syaoran by restraining his arm.

"Syaoran, I'm afraid I'll have to give you a detention." He handed him a slip, then turned to the pig. "Come with me to the infirmary."

Syaoran glared at Touya, but Touya simply hauled the pig towards the infirmary. Syaoran's and my eyes met. We stood there for a moment.

"Don't tell Sakura." He turned around and left.

Hmph. Thinks he's all that because he just gave a bastard a few lame punches? I've done far better before.

I inspected my nails carefully. Blood red.

Just then, I heard the desperate footsteps of a boy running down the stairs. He stopped when I stepped out of the shadows.

"You ready?" I smiled sweetly and twirled a lock of my hair.

The boy wiped a little sweat from his forehead and nodded vigorously.

"Come here…" I grabbed his tie and pulled him into the shadows. When I had pushed him against the wall, I whispered into his ear. "Undress."

"You first!" He tried to grab me, but I pinned his hands behind him.

"Naughty boy…you want me to do it?" I unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants down.

His eyes flared with lust and he panted with excitement. Disgusting. Repulsive. I pulled his boxers down and pretended to be kneeling.

At that moment, his arms broke from my grasp, but then he realized that I had handcuffed him to the wall. He struggled to move his feet, but found that I had tied his legs together too. Snap. I'd gotten it all on camera.

"Did you think I would be so easy? Did you think you would get away with saying lewd things and planning to make nasty moves on my Sakura?" I waved my camera in front of his face. "Do it again and I'll finish you."

"You bitch!" He shouted at me, so I gave him a good kick. "OWCH! HOLY SH–"

"Seems like you won't be having any descendents with that injury." I smirked, spun around, and left him like that, wailing and screaming.

I could hear it from outside. Touya was punching the hell out of the kid. When I stepped inside, Touya was breathing heavily. The boy looked no different from when Syaoran pummeled him, but the wall behind him looked as though a thousand meteors had come crashing.

"Get out of here!" And the kid fled, brushing past me without a glance.

Touya sat on the bed wearing a fierce expression. I walked up to him and sat on the bed across from him.

"How are you going to explain those craters?" I pointed to the holes in the wall.

"Two bad students making love passionately." Touya grinned like his normal self.

I tried not to smile back, but failed. "I thought you were actually hitting him."

"Yeah, and get myself fired?" Touya wiped his forehead and flopped onto the bed.

"You would do that, for Sakura."

"Haha…you're right." Touya's hand was still on his forehead. Suddenly, I grabbed his hand away from his head and looked at it. It was covered in blood.

"Stupid." I began looking for the first-aid kit.

"Stop, Tomoyo. I can do it myself."

I sat down beside him with the kit in my lap, took his hand, and squeezed it.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Touya tried to retract his hand from my grasp but I held firm.

"You can't do this yourself." I got out the alcohol and applied it.

Touya flinched, but didn't complain about how badly the wound stung. After tending the wound, I began wrapping his hand with bandages.

"Not that much, it'll be too obvious to Sakura." Touya tried to pull his hand away from me again. I ignored him and continued. "Tomoyo, didn't you hear me? I said Sakura will be worried if she sees this…"

"Just say you got scratched by one of the stray cats around here because you were carelessly fooling around with its tail."

"I wouldn't do that."

"I've seen you do that."

"A long time ago."

"See, you admit it."

"Shut up and stop putting so many bandages."

"Shut up and let me work."

He was silent. But his silence unnerved me because now I could feel his heavy gaze on me.

"Quit staring at me." I finally blurted.

"Tomoyo. You don't hate me."

"What are you saying, of course I hate you. You're a guy."

"But you don't hate me."

"Are you saying you're not a guy? You're a girl?" I tried to laugh.

"Questioning my manhood?"

"Get out of here!"

Touya laughed loudly, but soon it grew silent between us.

"Why do you hate guys anyways?" He suddenly asked.

I ignored the question and kept wrapping his hand with my head down.

"That's enough Tomoyo." He was moving his hand over mine to stop me, but I slapped his hand away.

"Tomoyo. Look at me." His tone was serious.

I was scared to believe that I was trembling. "No. Why should I."

He raised his left hand and lifted my chin to force me to look up. I tried to avert my gaze but his face was right in front of mine.

"Look at me." He said again. When I didn't obey he leaned in closer, his moist breath in my face.

"You're gross. Get out of my face." I said in a weak voice.

"Look at me or I'll kiss you." I looked at him. He kissed me anyways.

AN: So uh....all I can do is apologize. For the long update (at least it wasn't a year like how I usually roll...) and for the very short, strange chapter. I'm not going to babble this time, but I'm really thankful to everyone who reviewed. You guys makes me glad and want to keep on writing, especially for people who enjoy reading what I write. That goes for every writer! I try updating twice a week, but stress and absurd things like schoolwork gets in the way sometimes.

This chapter is fast and like WHAT!? But yeah, it's time for something to happen. That's a flashback in the middle. And I really look forward to seeing people's reactions, good or bad. Have a good week!
