(Thoughts) "Talking"

Take My Hand

"Did you see the way he stares at her?"

"I know! But isn't he like totally the cutest?"

"I just love that scowl!"

Syaoran sighed as he walked down the hall to his locker. The whispers of his sudden appearance at the school were already spread across the school and it was only lunchtime. So far all he accomplished was a nap in Biology. He grabbed his lunch and headed outside to a huge cherry tree. As he walked, he heard many murmurs of people that were pointing to him.

"Look at him, he thinks he's so cool!"

"Yeah, but why is he here?"

"I heard he's really good in martial arts"

"Maybe he got kicked out of his old school because he was fighting!"

"He looks like a spy to me!"

Syaoran reached the cherry tree and sat down. The rumours have been driving him crazy. He hated this high school, he hated this mission. Suddenly he heard a twig snap. Being an excellent martial artist, he jumped up and his hands shot out to strike.

"Hoe! Hey don't attack!" Sakura screeched, ducking down just in case.

"Huh? Oh it's you." Syaoran sat back down and returned to his lunch.

"What do you mean ' Oh it's you' ? Were you expecting someone else?" Sakura sat down beside him and got out her lunch box.

"What are you doing?" He raised an eyebrow at her actions.

"Gee I guess you aren't as smart as you look. I'm having lunch. What does it look like I'm doing?" She munched on her sandwich as she looked at him. Syaoran gazed at her. Her auburn hair blew in the breeze. Her emerald eyes sparkled in the sunlight, her nose small but cute, and kami-sama those lips.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" she questioned as she started to wipe her face.

"Uh, no, nothing wrong with, uh . . . lips. . . I mean, uh. . . " he stammered. He could feel his ears burning. He looked away. Why did he feel this way, what's this feeling? He felt all warm and his stomach was all woozy. Sakura just munched on her sandwich, staring at the sky. Syaoran glanced at her neck and saw the crystal. His stomach lurched and he felt sick. His gaze went back to Sakura. There was a twinge of sadness deep in those amber pools. He turned away again, deep in thought. (I don't' want to kill her. Maybe I can just take the crystal and keep her alive. Oh, but wait if I take the crystal, she'll die anyway. Damn, why does this have to be so hard? Wait, this isn't hard.) His eyes became hard and icy. (Just kill her. It's not like she means anything to me-)

"Hey!" Sakura yelling in his ear.

"Huh-AHH!" he nearly jumped out of his skin. He glared at Sakura. "What!?"

"I said there's a carnival in town, my friends and I are going. Do you want to come?"

His first reaction was no because he was still mad at her for yelling in his ear. But his thoughts went back to his mission. The carnival would be a perfect chance to get close to her and snatch the crystal.

"Sure, I'll come," There was an awkward silence, " but no more yelling my ear you got that?"

"Okay!" Sakura chirped and gave him her number one smile. She stuck her hand out. "But you have to promise to listen when I talk, deal?" Syaoran stuck his hand out. "Deal." Sakura smiled at him. His face flamed red. (Damn.)
