Chapter 7 Awful Encounter
Sakura looked at Syaoran and spoke softly, "I am not actually hungry."
Syaoran looks at her and replies, "You may not be hungry, but I am hungry. Take me somewhere to eat."
He starts to head towards the exit of the airport. Sakura just was dumbstruck by this man. She thought to herself, "This guy is crazy and demanding." She follows him.
She walked with her head down as she walked behind him. All of the sudden she ran into him from behind. She rubs her nose and squints her eyes. She just realized she ran into Syaoran. She stood up straight immediately. She knew he was a very sensitive guy. He turns around and just stares at her.
"Are you blind or just don't know how to walk?" he asked her sarcastically.
"I-I I'm not blind! I know how to walk." She exclaimed. She looked up to him as daring him to speak again. They just glared at each other as a minute went by.
He turns away and asks, "Where is the car? Did you even drive here?" He looks at her up and down again. He furrowed his eyebrows as if he was analyzing her.
"W-what are you staring at?" she asked as she started to protect herself. Her arms cover up her body.
Syaoran snorts. "What do you think I am going to do? I just was trying to see if you have money to even buy a car." he retorts.
Sakura mentally thinks of stepping on him multiple times. Then roll him up and kick him flying back to where he came from. She chuckles at the thought.
"What is so funny?" Syaoran asked, looking at her as she was a mental patient.
Sakura just realized she had accidentally laughed out loud. She hits softly to her mouth of her mistake. "N-nothing. I didn't drive here, Eriol sent his limo to take you home." she said quickly. She quickly walked fast towards the limo where it was waiting for them. She motions and bows to him and says, "H-here is the car." She turns away as in embarrassment. She couldn't believe she just bowed to him as if she was a butler. She mentally slapped her face. And quickly walks to the back seat.
"What do you think you are doing?" he said.
Sakura stopped in her tracks and looked at Syaoran. "I'm going to sit down."
"You," he points at her and moves his finger to the front seat, "sit in the front."
Sakura looks at the front. She laughs nervously and moves to the front seat. She thinks, "Who wants to sit next to you anyways."
Syaoran put his luggage in the back trunk and settled in the back of the car. He thought to himself, "Why would Eriol sent this incompetent friend to pick him up." as he stares at her from the back seat. He looks at her for a few minutes pondering over things. He shakes his head and looks outside his window. He looked at all the tall buildings surrounding the area.
When he looked outside the window. Sakura was observing him from the rear mirror. She thought, "He is so rude and a pervert!" She felt her phone ring from a text message and she looked at it.
"Sakura. I heard from my driver you were able to pick up my cousin from the airport?" the message was sent from Eriol.
Sakura wrinkles her nose when she remembers how she met Syaoran at the airport.
"Eriol. You owe me a big favor." she texted back. She glares through the mirror looking at Syaoran and looks back at her phone.
"Oh? Did something happen?" Eriol message back.
"Eriol! You didn't tell me your cousin was a pervert!" she messaged back.
Eriol was in the office of his company sitting on the sofa in his parent's office. He laughs out loud from Sakura's message. He thought, "My cousin is a pervert?"
He messages her back, "I'm very sorry. If he did anything wrong, please forgive him. He is normally a gentleman."
Sakura thought, "Gentleman? More like a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Where shall we eat Miss Kinomoto?" the driver asked as they were about to exit from the airport area.
Sakura thought of a moment. She likes this one casual place she would often eat with Tomoyo. It was a nice BBQ place and it was quick to eat. People often pass by it because its exterior looks shabby. But one you enter they have a beautiful interior and have a dome above a cherry blossom tree. It felt like a secret garden when you entered. This she felt was a hidden gem in Tomoeda.
"Please head to this address." she said.
"Okay, Miss Kinomoto." the driver replied.
The car was getting closer to the location. When they had arrived, Syaoran wrinkled his nose in disgust. He had never seen such a shabby looking building. He thought, "This place must not be popular and why would she bring me here?"
"Mr. Li, here we are, how about we enter the restaurant?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran quickly looks at her, "you want me to eat here?" he exclaimed.
"Well, yeah. I know it looks shabby on the outside, but it is beautiful inside!" she said proudly.
Syaoran looks at her in disbelief. Sakura quickly grabs his hand and pulls him inside. Syaoran looks at his hand that Sakura had grabbed. He never lets anyone touch him. They entered the restaurant and he saw the interior. It was beautiful, he had never been to any establishment like this.
Sakura motions for Syaoran to follow her. They sat at a table near the tree. "Isn't this place beautiful?" she said with happiness.
Syaoran looks at her then looks down at his menu. He didn't want to admit it was beautiful, but he just nods his head in agreement.
Sakura smiles as she finally accomplished making Eriol's cousin satisfied about something.
A waiter came by the table and dropped off some glasses of water for them. Sakura was so happy that she accidentally knocked down the water towards Syaoran. The water spilled all over Syaoran clothes. He was shocked, and quickly sent a glare towards Sakura. Sakura quickly lowered her head and softly spoke, "I'm s-sorry!"
Syaoran wipes down his clothes with a napkin and mutters, "What a klutz."
Sakura quickly looks up and still sees he is angry. She was about to speak but stop, because she didn't want to make it awkward. She quickly got up and took her napkin and started to wipe his shoes as the water fell on his shoes as well.
Syaoran widens his eyes and exclaims, "What are you doing?!" he moves away from her. Sakura tried to grab his shoe again and wipe it clean.
"I-I'm trying to help you clean your shoes. They look expensive and I'm sorry!" she said.
"Don't worry! I can clean myself. G-go back to your seat!" He pointed at Sakura to move back.
Sakura slowly got up and looked embarrassed. She brushed her hair straids behind her ears. She was nervous to make any movement. Ever since meeting him she has never been so embarrassed and awkward. She mentally slaps herself again.
Syaoran finished cleaning himself up. He looks at the menu and thinks, "Perhaps I should just order to go."
Sakura asked timidly, "A-are you ready to order?"
Syaoran looked at her briefly and said, "Yes." He decided he would give her another chance of not being a klutz.
"O-okay!" she waves over the waiter, "We are ready to order."
They ate their food quietly. Syaoran went to grab a napkin and accidentally their hands collided from trying to pick up a napkin. Syaoran knocks Sakura's hand away from his hand. Sakura glares at him and then grabs the napkin underneath.
Sakura has never met any guy like him. She was fed up with his personality and acting as if he was the only person in this world.
Syaoran knocked her hand away because he felt awkward that their hands had collided. He felt bad that he knocked her hand away.
Syaoran asked for the bill. "Ms. Kinomoto, we will drop you off before I head to my apartment." he said after he paid the bill.
Sakura replies, "No, it is okay. I am actually meeting up my friends soon at the mall." She sighed in relief. She could not stand him any longer. Syaoran just nods at her and gets up from the table.
"I will see you next time I suppose." Syaoran said.
Sakura gave him a small smile and thought, "I hope NOT! You pervert!" She waves at him goodbye. Slowly her smile turns into a frown. "Bad luck to meet you!" she whispers softly.
She walks towards the mall that was nearby.
Syaoran enters the limo and heads towards his apartment. He enters the apartment and jumps and lays on his bed. He said loudly, "Finally, quietness."
He was about to close his eyes when he heard a knock on his door. He frowned as someone was interrupting his peacefulness. He slowly gets up and looks in the peephole to see who has come and disturb him. He sees Eriol and sighs.
Syaoran opens the door and Eriol smiles at him.
"Oh? I see you finally made it to your apartment." he said.
Syaoran rolls his eyes and motions him to enter. Eriol looked around the place and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Enough, chit chat. Let me ask you something?" Syaoran asked.
Eriol looks at him to continue.
"This Kinomoto girl, why did you send someone so clumsy?" he asked
Eriol looks at him and laughs. "Is she clumsy?" Eriol thought about the times when she fell at the party and so on with her interactions. But she was a cheerleader, isn't she supposed to have good coordination? He chuckles.
"Why are you laughing?" Syaoran demanded.
"Nothing. She is just a very good friend of mine. I have to say she had some thoughts of you too." Eriol replied.
"She better not have any thoughts about me!" he said coldly.
Eriol continues to laugh some more, "She actually thinks of you as a pervert." he said.
Syaoran widens his eyes, "M-me a pervert! How dare she think that way!" he exclaimed. He mentally curses her out.
"Haha. Syaoran, you must have done something for her to think of you that way." Eriol said with laughter.
Syaoran just glares at Eriol. "It doesn't matter what she thinks of me anyways." He turns his head away from Eriol in a fit of distress.
"Anyways, I dropped by to make sure you got to your apartment. My mom and dad would like to have dinner with you." Eriol said.
Syaoran scratches the back of his head and says, "Okay."
Eriol asks, "I shall see you tomorrow for dinner then." Eriol gets up and moves towards the exit of the apartment. Syaoran walks Eriol out and nods goodbye to him.
Eriol leaves and heads to his car. He is chuckling at the interactions of Syaoran and Sakura. He has never seen Syaoran so irritated by a girl.
Sakura walks to the mall and realizes she was late coming. Sakura walks up to her friends Tomoyo, Chiharu, and Naoko.
"I'm so sorry I am late!" Sakura exclaimed.
The girls chuckled and Tomoyo said reassuringly, "We just arrived. Do not worry, Sakura."
Sakura sighed in relief. If she was late, she could only blame Syaoran Li. She punches the air at the thought of remembering him.
The girls look at her and just stare at her.
"Sakura? Is everything okay?" Naoko asked her calmly.
Sakura threw her hands behind her back in embarrassment. "Haha. I'm okay." she said nervously.
The girls laughed and they walked towards a clothing store. They spent a few hours rummaging through the mall for clothes and accessories.
Sakura grabs Tomoyo and tells her experiences with Syaoran Li. Tomoyo laughs at Sakura.
Sakura glares at Tomoyo, "Stop laughing at me!" she whispered angrily at her.
"Sakura, I have never seen you so nervous and worked up about someone." Tomoyo stated.
"I-I was not nervous. I'm not worked up over him. H-he is just a pervert!" she said.
Tomoyo thought this through, she had never met this Syaoran Li. But knowing that he is Eriol's cousin they were bound to meet. They were walking and talking as they were in the mall. They accidentally ran into someone. Tomoyo stepped back from the interaction and looked up.
There stood, Jin and a few of his friends. Tomoyo looked at him and felt her head hurt for a moment. She squints her eyes and bends down for a moment. Sakura glares at Jin, and pulls Tomoyo to a chair. Jin looks at Tomoyo and Sakura and continues what he is doing with his friends.
"Tomoyo, are you okay?" Sakura asked with concern.
"S-Sakura. Can you give me some water?" Tomoyo asked in pain. Her pain was very strong but she felt a small headache coming in.
"Should we go to the hospital? You don't look so well?" Sakura asked nervously as she took out her water from her purse.
"I-I'm fine. I just have a small headache." she replied.
Sakura stood up and said, "Sit here, I'm going to tell the others we are going to leave. You need to see a doctor."
Tomoyo gives a small smile and nods her head in agreement. She knew there was no convincing Sakura. She knew Sakura wanted to protect her.
Tomoyo waited for Sakura to come back and drank some more water.
Jin had been with his friends and told them he would be back. He goes back to where he met Sakura and Tomoyo. He looked over for them and found Tomoyo sitting by herself. He smiles and walks to her direction.
"What is a pretty girl doing here by herself?" he asked.
Tomoyo looked up and froze a bit. She didn't expect Jin to come and talk to her. She wanted to say something but Jin sat down next to her and whispered, "Don't you miss me?"
Tomoyo nervously looks at him and tries to inch away from him. He quickly grabs her arm and pulls her closer to him. He sniffs her hair and says, "Don't think you can run away now?"
Tomoyo looks around for her friends and the people around them. She tries to pull her arm out of his grip. But she didn't have the strength like he did.
"Don't scream no one will help you. They will think we are just arguing as a couple." he said.
Tomoyo looks at him and her head hurts more from the pain. She pushes him away and tires to stand up and feel a big headache coming in.
The last thing Tomoyo heard was Sakura's voice before she blacked out, "JIN, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?"
