Chapter 11: Xiao Lang?! Ying Fa?!
-------
Suddenly, Sakura bumps into… "Syaoran-kun!" Or is it Xiao Lang?
Xiao Lang's eyes widen as he sees her. When Sakura didn't come back after a while, he worried as his heartbeat increased and he started looking for her, but nothing has prepared him for the sight he sees.
A bruise is forming on her cheek; her usual cherry lips are now dripped with ruby blood. Her eyes are watery, gleaming with relief when she sees him, but there is still a hint of fear in them. She looks behind her, seeing Mr. Wang frozen, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Lang follows her gaze. He's not all that surprised when he sees their old math teacher. He grabs her by the waist to put her aside, noticing how she winces when he does so. "Ying Fa, get my cell phone, it's on the counter. Call the police," he orders, his voice cold, without hesitation what-so-ever.
Wordlessly, she nods. She has never heard him speak like this! She feels helpless as he leaves her and goes after Mr. Wang, who finally snaps out of his reverie and runs. She goes into the kitchen and grabs the black phone. After giving the police the information they need, she flips the phone closed. She wanders to the front of the school, lost in thought about a certain amber eyed teen. 'Could it really be? I mean, I know his Chinese name, his real name, is Xiao Lang… He called me Ying Fa…well, he is Chinese, so of course he would know my Chinese name…but the way he said it… It has to be!' Hearing sirens nearing, she decides, 'I'll confront him about this later.' Leading the police officers inside, she points to where Xiao Lang and Mr. Wang had last headed.
Nodding, the male cop runs towards said direction while the female cop stays to get Sakura's statement.
After about fifteen minutes, Officer Chang makes his way to Sakura and Officer Jen, with a badly beaten math teacher in cuffs, along with a slightly bruised, grumbling Xiao Lang.
As they near, Sakura catches a few words.
"Baka Officer didn't let me finish beating the crap out of that bastard…"
Sakura shakes her head, trying to hide her giggles as a nurse, that has just arrived, starts treating her bleeding lip.
The officers bow before making their leave, dragging a struggling Wang with them.
The nurse gives Sakura an ice pack, tells her to be careful with that nasty bump on the back of her head, and advices her to see a doctor.
After a few whines and protests from Sakura, and Xiao Lang promising Nurse Lila that she will see a doctor soon, Lila also bows her farewell, after giving Xiao Lang an ice pack for his swollen cheek.
Thankfully, they don't have to go to the police station, thanks to Xiao Lang's family's influence.
He really is in no mood for that, but they will have to show up in court. Now, about the little Ying Fa problem… He redirects his gaze to the emerald eyed beauty in front of him. Just has he's about to open his mouth…
Is something burning?
The teens' eyes widen and both rush to save the banana bread.
Opening the oven, Sakura sighs, seeing that only a part of the edge is burnt.
That can easily be fixed, so they get to work, silently.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Sakura jumps, startled. "N-nani?" she stutters out. 'What's he talking about?'
"When were you going to tell me, Ying Fa?" he repeats with an icy tone. "Thought you'd have some fun first? While I suffered, trying to figure out whether it was you or not? You knew all along-"
He's cut off as an angry and crying Cherry Blossom punches his undamaged cheek. She glares up at him. "Y-you think I knew it was you? If you do, then you really don't know me at all Xiao Lang! It was driving me crazy! I wasn't sure at all, even if I did have my suspicions, I wasn't just going to ask someone I thought I hardly knew, 'Oh, excuse me, did you know anyone about nine years ago that went by Ying Fa? You are such a-"
This time, she's cut off, as he brings her into a bone-crushing hug. "Gomen, gomen, I just…" He trails off.
Sakura hugs him back, burying her face on his shoulder. "I missed you so much Xiao Lang…"
"I missed you, Ying Fa," he mumbles into her ear.
The two friends stay there, holding each other, making up for last time.
To Be Continued
-----------------
Way! Finally! It only took, oh eleven chapters for them to reunite. grins Sadly, the worst is far from over for them. Yeah, gomen ne, demo, I need to make them suffer just a little bit more.
I'll try not to be so evil…
