Chapter 21: The Spring Dance Part 2
"But…But Syaoran-kun…" Sakura was in complete shock. Why had Syaoran punched Keiji? Was it because he had kissed her??
No! No way! That couldn't be it! Sakura mentally slapped herself, blushing.
"I swear I'm gonna kick your ass," Keiji hissed, standing and wiping a trickle of blood coming from his lip.
"You can try," Syaoran snickered.
"HEY! STOP THIS NOW!" Sakura screamed, grabbing Syaoran's curled fist and lowering it. "Syaoran-kun, why did you punch Keiji-kun?"
Syaoran looked angry and glanced away. "I felt like it."
Sakura frowned. "That's not a reason! Tell me the truth."
Suddenly, a girl shoved her way to the front of the gawking crowd and placed both of her feet firmly apart. Her fists were clenched tightly at the side of her bright red dress and her hair was flailing out around her.
"K-Kamiko-chan?" Sakura asked confusedly. "Is something…wrong?"
"Get your paws off Li-sama!!" Kamiko growled, indicating a perfectly manicured finger towards Syaoran. Sakura looked at where she was gripping Syaoran's fist and quickly let go.
"Uh…gomen…" she said quietly.
"Don't be!" Syaoran said fiercely, glaring at Kamiko, who blinked. "Stop being so damn jealous and sensitive! It's freakin annoying!"
Kamiko's eyes welled up with tears. "LI-SAMA, YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!!!" she howled. "I'LL…I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
"Oh, boo hoo," Syaoran fake sighed.
Kamiko was shaking from anger now. "I don't get it," she whispered, yet everyone was listening carefully enough to hear her. "You're mean to everyone, mostly every girl…but Kinomoto is the only one you're nice to!"
There were a couple gasps throughout the room and a silence hung in the center.
"Tha-That's not true!" Syaoran defended. "I'm just not nice to you cause you're so freakin annoying and desperate and jealous!"
"Oh, give it up!" Kamiko snapped, her voice growing louder and louder. "It's obvious to practically every person in this freakin room! Kinomoto, how dense can you be?!?!"
Sakura blinked and sweat dropped. "Wh…What do you mean?" she asked.
Kamiko was pissed now. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT?!?! HE'S FREAKIN IN LO---"
"Oi Kamiko-chan, what's up?!" Tomoyo said loudly, linking arms with Kamiko out of nowhere.
"Wanna get some punch?!" Eriol asked excitedly, leading her away from Sakura and Syaoran.
Kamiko was confused but quickly snapped out of it. "Let go of me!!" she yelled, trying to wretch away. "I…have something…important to say!" she struggled.
"It can't possibly be as important as punch!" Eriol smiled cheerfully.
"What was that all about?" Sakura asked, a huge sweat drop on her head.
"Uh, I don't know!! Orino always seemed a bit strange to me!" Syaoran laughed nervously.
"Ah hem," came an impatient cough. The two turned to see Keiji standing there glaring and looking bored.
"Oh, Keiji-kun!" Sakura said in surprise. "Gomenai, I forgot you were there!"
Keiji looked hurt and stunned. Syaoran smirked.
"That's right," he muttered.
"I'm not finished with him yet," Keiji growled, stepping closer to Syaoran. "I wanna settle this here and now Li!"
"You got it!" Syaoran smirked wider, taking a fighting pose.
"I said STOP IT!" Sakura yelled in annoyance, stepping between the two boys. "Cut it out you idiots!"
"Stay outta this Sakura!" Syaoran shouted.
"No I won't stay outta this Syaoran-kun!! You two need to stop fighting like this!"
"Quiet!!! Come at me Yosakko!" Syaoran yelled, frowning.
"If you say so!!" Keiji grinned evilly. He bolted forward towards an awaiting Syaoran. Sakura had fear in her eyes.
"STOP ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed, jumping into Keiji's path. But he was too determined.
It was like it happened in slow motion. One moment Keiji was running and Sakura was standing there, the next she was laying on the ground clutching her arm. Everyone was talking and staring and covering their mouths.
Keiji had stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at his wounded date.
"SAKURAAAA!" Syaoran yelled, shoving Keiji out of the way to the ground and rushing to Sakura's aid. "Are you ok? How bad does it hurt?"
He gently touched her arm and she winced.
"I…I think it's broken," she said in pain. Keiji couldn't move or talk. Kamiko, Tomoyo and Eriol had returned to the circle and Tomoyo gasped in horror, hurrying over to her friend.
"Sakura-chan!! What happened?" she asked in concern.
"It was all that bastard's fault!" Syaoran snapped, glaring at Keiji.
"I…I didn't…" Keiji stuttered, staring at his hands as if they were covered in blood or something.
"But you did!!" Syaoran said angrily, towering over him and grabbing the collar of his tux.
"N-No Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said, looking up at them and twitching with pain as she held her arm. "Please don't hurt him! He didn't mean to!"
"Are you freakin kidding me?!?! He meant to do that!" Syaoran replied.
"No! I would never hurt her!!" Keiji defended.
"Quite lying you---"
"HOLD IT! HOLD IT!" Tomoyo yelled, holding up her hands and frowning. "Will someone please tell what happened?!"
"Oh…right…gomen," Syaoran muttered. "Well, me and Yosakko here were about to fight when Sakura stepped between us. She was trying to get us to stop, and I told Yosakko to come at me. He agreed and started at a run. Sakura was in the way and when she didn't move this bastard shoved her to the ground!"
"And I guess my arm broke in the process," Sakura added with a heavy sigh.
"I didn't freakin mean to!" Keiji yelled, pushing Syaoran off him finally and stepping back. "It was…you know…a reflex!"
"A reflex he says," Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Poor Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said in sadness. "My leg finally heels and then you break your arm! Life isn't fair…"
Sakura gave a small laugh. "It's ok Tomoyo-chan. I'll be fine once I call my Otousan to come get me."
"Don't you want my personal limo to---" Keiji started.
"Don't even try it," Syaoran growled. Keiji glared at him.
"Well, I'm going outside to call my Otousan," Sakura said, standing slowly with Tomoyo's help. "Ja ne everyone."
It was quiet as she left. Once she was outside she could hear the music blaring again and she sighed.
Rummaging through her white silk purse, she found her cell phone and dialed her home number. It rang three times before Touya answered.
"Moshi Moshi?" he yawned.
"Touya, can you tell Otousan to come pick me up?" Sakura asked.
"Uh…hai."
"Arigatou."
She hung up and smiled at Tomoyo. "You can go back in if you like."
Tomoyo shook her head and smiled back. "That's ok. You supported me in the hospital and I wanna support you."
Sakura hugged her. "Arigatou."
Eriol and Syaoran walked out later, Meiling and Kurumi hanging out behind them on the school steps.
"You alright?" Eriol asked Sakura, patting her shoulder. She nodded.
"Hai. Otousan's picking me up soon."
"That's good."
"Mhm."
Syaoran was silent, hands in his pockets. Sakura watched him for a moment and then grinned.
"Arigatou Syaoran-kun."
He looked at her in surprise and blinked. "Nani?"
"You defended me against Keiji-kun," she answered. "That was really nice of you."
Syaoran blushed and nodded. "Uh…sure. No problem."
Tomoyo whispered to Eriol, "You were right about Yosakko-kun."
"I know!" Eriol grinned. "Plus it's pretty obvious."
"But…he was so nice to me!" Sakura frowned. "So polite…nice…sweet…"
"Only cause your pretty," Kurumi told her, walking up with Meiling, her arm around his waist. "Sorry to tell you, but it's true. He's a…uh…somewhat of a lecherous bastard."
Sakura gasped. "Le….Lecherous?!?"
"DUH!" the other five yelled. Her eyes widened.
"I…Keiji-kun…!" she growled.
"We'll kill him later," Tomoyo informed her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "For now, just focus on taking care of that arm."
"Oh, right," Sakura mumbled.
Just then, her father's car pulled up. When he saw all of them standing there, he got out of the car and hurried over to them.
"Sakura-chan?" he said, bending down to be eye level with her. "Are you ok? Is anything wrong?"
Sakura smiled. "Uh…well, I just kinda…broke my arm…"
"NANI!?!?" her father yelled in shock. Sakura looked at the cement.
"I fell and broke my arm. That's all."
"THAT'S ALL?! Come on, we've gotta get you to the hospital!" he shouted, grabbing her arm.
Before being dragged into the car, and turned and smiled apologetically at her friends. Overprotective, she mouthed, waving.
They all grinned and waved back as she drove off. Once the car had turned the corner, Syaoran sighed gruffly.
"That son of a bitch," he grumbled. "I swear I'm gonna kill him on Monday."
"Same here," Eriol and Kurumi said angrily.
"Don't forget me," Tomoyo piped up.
"And me!!!" Meiling shouted. She was still 'half-drunk.'
"It's settled. We'll ambush him!!" Eriol smirked, slamming his fist onto his palm.
"He's not getting away with this!" Kurumi frowned.
"Not getting away with what?" came a sweet voice. Everyone turned to see Kamiko standing there, hands behind her back. She was smiling shyly.
Syaoran groaned. "What d'you want?" he asked in annoyance.
Kamiko sighed. "Can't I just ask a simple question without you interrogating me?"
"No."
"Shut up."
"Make me."
"Ok I---"
"Cut it out," Tomoyo said. "Kamiko-chan, you know how Sakura-chan broke her arm cause of Yosakko-kun? We want to get revenge on him on Monday but don't tell him!"
Kamiko's eyes widened. "Really? Interesting!"
"Hai, hai, just don't tell," Kurumi told her with a wave of his hand.
"I won't tell. Just include me and I won't."
"Nani?!" Syaoran yelled.
Kamiko smiled.
"But why do you want to be included Kamiko-chan?" Tomoyo asked.
"Cause of all the girls in our grade Keiji-sama asked Kinomoto," Kamiko replied hotly.
"And what's wrong with her?!?" Syaoran snapped in a sharp tone. Kamiko crossed her arms.
"Never mind. Just include me and I won't tell Keiji-sama what's coming."
Eriol sighed. "Fine, fine. Just…meet us in the back of the school at 7:30 Monday morning, ok?"
"Hai."
-Hospital-
"It looks as though the bone's in your left arm broke on impact," the doctor informed Sakura as she sat on the plastic, uncomfortable bed. "You must have hit something pretty hard for them to shatter like this."
"I did," Sakura whispered, holding her arm, which was now in a bright, white cast.
The doctor smiled. "Which was?"
"The gym floor," Sakura replied, looking away, as if she was suddenly fascinated in a poster on the many wonderful functions of the human ear.
"I see. Did you trip?"
"…Hai…"
The doctor looked unconvinced but she smiled nonetheless. "Alright. Well, I think we're all done here! I'll go tell your Otousan when your next check up is and what you need to do each day to take care of your arm."
Sakura nodded. When the doctor left, she sighed.
"Stupid Keiji-kun…"
Just then her cell phone started ringing. Opening her purse, she grabbed it and checked caller id.
Unknown caller.
"Strange…" Sakura muttered, pushing the Answer button.
"…Moshi Moshi?" she said slowly.
"I know where you live and if you don't come to the docks tomorrow at noon I'll kill you and your entire family," a scratchy, deep voice said into the phone.
And then there was nothing but a dial tone. Sakura sat there; mouth opened, and dropped her cell phone. It hit the plastic bed with a clatter and the back broke off.
"Come to the…docks?" Sakura repeated. She thought for a moment before gasping and a familiar scent came into her memory.
Salmon.
