A/N: You guys loved the fact that finally Sakura's feeling a little bit of something for Syaoran- I feel grateful for that. You reviewers have supported me for 10 chapters- and what does 10 x 10 equal to?? 100 REVIEWS. Thank you readers! Thank you reviewers! Thank you supporters! Only like one or two flames for grammar mistakes (I'm sorry, most of the time I get excited of what I type up and I'm so eager for you guys to read it, so I pop the chapter out before I can reread it and then edit it. I hope you would ignore those because I'm way to enthusiastic with this story when I get a lot of reviews. However, the number of reviews has decreased by a lot (boo hoo for me) but I hope that the more readers that read, the more reviews that I will receive. (I accept anonymous reviews, so please feel free to review even if you don't have an account).
(I remembered I had reviewers and so I must say thanks to them.)
Well, thank you's to: tears-of-redemption, Singing Fool, -Kori Kage Tenshi-, sailor alpha tomboy, and hungryxbaby. Wow, reviews have definitely decreased, from 20 to… like 5 per chapter. Is it that my chapters are getting worse? I don't care if you flame me, I just need an opinion! Plus, can people who read me continuously please review? Because what's the point without reviewing if you keep on reading the writer's story enthusiastically and determinedly?

Disclaimer: I have added a new item on my collection of things I own- the 100 reviews that you guys have given me in only 10 chapters! We hit record!! Thanks readers and reviewers- mostly reviewers though, because they have supported me this whole way on my first CCS fan fiction. I also only on the words that I type out on Microsoft. D
Summary: (Loosely based on Devil Beside You) Manipulated by one of Tomoeda High's secret royalty (a.k.a. Prince of China) hotshot, Sakura Kinomoto is stuck with the world's most ignorant and obnoxious boy who has more of a soft side than you would think…
Chapter 11: The Way I Are
I love you just the way you are,
The way you are.

I think that smirk's getting way into me.
…
The subway windows rattled as I sighed dully during the ride back home. I have insisted on using the underground train only once instead of using Tomoyo's usual sleek black limo towards the way home. Although subway wasn't Tomoyo's style, she cheerfully agreed and either concealed it well or she didn't cared about ditching her mom's strict rule for using the professional limousine just once.
Li Syaoran was in front of me, dozing off into slumber as Eriol and Tomoyo flirted innocently at each other. Rolling my eyes, I finally spoke up to the naïve couple, "So what's for dinner, Madison?"
My best friend looked up, and nervously giggled, "Eriol's taking me out on a date to an Italian restaurant for a victory celebration between us… you know. We were wondering if you and Li should go together and eat dinner back at our penthouse just this once so Eli and I could have just one teensy weensy outing together by ourselves. Are you okay with that?"
I was speechless. She was ditching me with that foul-breath but drop-dead gorgeous (did I just say that?!) Prince of Pettiness by ourselves? But, Tomoyo was a good friend … and I really did want her to be happy … and Eriol did seem to be like a good boy and deserves Tomoyo Daidouji … oh alright. "Fine." I said lamely, but I'm not buying my dinner's ingredients tonight."
"That's quite alright!" Eriol said roughly in Japanese with a hint of a gruff English growl, making Tomoyo sigh in adoration, "I'll force Syaoran to come over with ingredients."
I had a hard time to not shudder, gag, or flinch at the disgusting obvious affectionate display that Tomoyo and Eriol was showing in front of me and on a public vehicle where everyone was trying hard not to look with an occasional fidget and gag and pointing from an immature little boy running across the moving subway.
Finally our stop had come, and I was glad to stop by at the local mall to pick up a few packs of gum to keep the growing urge of vomiting from my cousin and her boyfriend. Li Syaoran was close behind me and gave me an frequent smirk whenever I looked his way.
I had to admit, after what Eriol had said to me during and after the basketball game; I didn't really hate him as much as I did before.
(Flashback)
"Are you serious?" I choked out, as I stared at Eriol just to make sure he wasn't teasing me so he could laugh at my stupidity as soon as I believe him. "I absolutely do not believe that Li is actually a troubled boy, hell- I think he's a little devil inside of him!" I declared ruthlessly.
Eriol didn't flinch as I continued to insult Li as if there were no tomorrow, he finally calmly chimed after I was done with my 'Li Syaoran is the evilest boy in the planet' speech, saying: "This is serious, Sakura," he said firmly, "I meant it when I said Syaoran isn't a ruthless ass as he acts to be. He just tends to have a bad boy side in which every single girl had fell for except for you."
"So what am I, a hard to get woman?" I shouted, sounding enraged.
The blue-haired boy with round glasses shook his head quickly, "No offence meant Sakura, but you're missing the point. Examples? During middle school, Syaoran stopped a couple of bullying gang who was ganging up on Yamazaki. Yamazaki Takaishi was known as the weird freak and no one liked him- before he met Syaoran, he was dumpy and hardly exercised or did any sports at all. Li changed him, he really did."
I was quiet.
Eriol continued, pausing to take a breath, "He had 4 sisters- all of them who were beautiful, absolute attractive ladies (don't tell Tomoyo I said that) and a lot of men hits on them a lot. You can just say Xiao Lang is an overprotective boy against his sisters. And the reason why Meilin is obsessed with him? She was the girl who almost got ran over a car back when she was in middle school too. The fact is, Syaoran is crazy about you, he has a weird way of showing it."
"Did Li put you up to say this?" I demanded, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope." Tomoyo's boyfriend responded fairly quickly and truthfully.
"And you're not saying this just so I can confess and yell out 'I LOVE YOU TOO LI' to the whole school and get humiliated by your gang of devils?"
"Trust me, sister- you're practically my cousin-in-law since I'm closer to Tomoyo than summer's closer to spring. I'll know if I lie to you, I'll get a bruise, bloody lip, half broken body, and a dented head from you, a dumping and another sue for a million Yen from Tomoyo, and probably get murdered by your older brother."
I didn't laugh.
"God woman, you have no sense of humour." Eriol muttered, "Think about it." Then he ran to catch up with Tomoyo.
"Syaoran is crazy about you, he has a weird way of showing it."
Should I believe him?
(End of Flashback)
Syaoran had somehow fallen back and bumped into me accidentally as he continued to stare down at his sneakers, "Sorry," he muttered, before picking his pace and passing me without another word. I stared at him, as he seemed to disappear from a corner, realizing I was way behind the others- I sprinted towards them.
Syaoran is crazy about you; he has a weird way of showing it.

What was so different with Sakura Kinomoto with every other girl? She's beautiful- so is Meilin, and other high scholars. Scratch that, Kinomoto is an overly attractive woman. She's intelligent and an anti-negative cute klutz that can make a guy turn their head any day- however, not a lot of the boys in Tomoeda High actually did pay any attention to this invisible girl.
I'm falling for her badly.

A/N: Sorry if it's too short, but I have to cut short since I have school tomorrow (again) and I have to get ready for it since it takes quite a long time to get from here to there and you know… I'm a girl and a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Well… hope you enjoy this chapter and (gasp!) yes! They're totally falling in love! This doesn't end here yet folks, remember that I had once say this story is also twisted with The Prince & Me? Yeah, well- there is a reason why Syaoran's concealing his royal identity. Keep on reading! D
