Chapter 4
Issues = Confusion Within Minds
Mesmerized, he stood stock still, she has said something he himself queried that she would ever say, and something he thought he would never confess to her or himself..but rage surged across his veins the thought of another..KISSING her...just made him feel heartless..amd spiritless. How could you Sakura-chan..I came back with determination to unburden myself and you drop this absurdity onto me!!!
"L-Li-kun?" her voice falters, hand across chest and other arm set down stiffly at her side. Emerald eyes becoming bitter liquid bearers awaiting and yet regretting to have ever admitting it, and NOW..
Before Syaroan could answer Sakura or even at least have enough time to feel in response in relation to the news, a knock is heard from the door, and soon Touya's face appeared and a glare followed up as he stared at Syaroan Weird, brat isn't doing anything back...oh wait..I bet he just found out Junko-kun is my sister's, argh, boyfriend. (so it isn't just with Syaoran..it's with all guys that are after his precious kaijuu!!! But he's just a little more possessive with Syaroan..after all he DID set his school blazer on fire and harass poor Sakura..ok I'll shut up now.) Once as he returns from his thoughts he shakes his head, looking about for the little yellow stuffed doll.
"Hey, Sakura-chan where's the little stuffed doll? Quero? No wait..what was it again?"
"Kero. And he's at Tomoyo's house"
"Riiight..arigato, oh and kaijuu Junko-kun is waiting for you downstairs"
"I'm NOT a kaijuu..arigato anyway onni-san..tell him I'll be down in a minute"
Door is shut. It was the cue for Syaroan to go, he couldn't bear seeing her at this exact moment with another, how much of a fool was he, thinking a girl like Sakura would actually wait for him, look Sakura has been showered by other boys back when they studied in Tomoeda. I'm a idiot...Tomoyo had constantly 'pushed' me onto telling her..and even Meilin who figured it all out after I went back to Hong Kong..in 1 month!! Leaping out of the window silently he vanishes off in the already dawning day, cursing beneath his breath...Sakura turning back to talk to Syaroan after being interrupted, sigh is given no longer finding him no where.
"Ja ne."
"Sakura-chan?" questioned a muffled masculine voice from behind the door.
"Hai..come in Junko-kun.."
"You ok? You took a while so I decided to come up to your room.."
"I'm fine..Thanks for caring..", she forces a smile to cover up
"Touya said someone was here with you..who as it?"
"An old friend..."
"Was it the no mannered boy we saw at school today?"
"Hai.."
"What was he doing here?!"
"I called him over Junko-kun.." she sighed, lowering her head a bit, darkness covering her emerald eyes.
"Alright then, gomen Sakura-chan" he smiled, lifting her chin to level up with his, lips advancing towards her slowly, leaning over to deliver a kiss onto her cherry lips. His dark ebony eyes open as he continues kissing her, eyeing the window and gazing at the tree...Sakura being one that couldn't contain herself barely now in a fragile state felt something eerie about Junko...his aura..almost like 'transperant'..she presses her lips back onto his before stepping back hearing a rustling in the leaves.
"That bastard..." seethed Syaroan silently, fists tightening around the branches of the tree as he gripped on just to see Sakura's reaction or whatever. Shimatta!! How could you Junko-kun..you are now my sworn enemy..I'll get you and you'll pay!!! Sakura-chan..you've...you've disappointed me and broken my heart...but as.. "I get weaker, the stronger I become.." he murmured as he meets up with Junko's eyes, turning and swiftly gone in a breeze.
~ Next Day ~
"Ohaiyo!!!" chimed Sakura for once arriving quite early to class, only to find her closest friends around.
"Ohaiyo Sakura-chan!" the replied quite gleefully.
"Ohaiyo blossom.." greeted a dark-haired guy behind her, landing a light kiss upon her cheek, making her grow crimson.
"Junko-kun..I'm sorry about yesterday.."
"It's ok..kissu shite?" wondered Junko, with a sneaky grin.
"Hai!" turning over she lands a soft kiss back on his cheek to his sadness although, "Gomen..I haven't got used to kissing in front of everyone.."
"It's ok..I don't mind.." finger is lifted as he pokes at her shoulder urging her forth "Sensei coming!!"
"Eep!!"
"Sakura-chan, what happened yesterday?" asked Tomoyo.
"What do you mean?" replied Sakura.
"You said sorry to Junko about yesterday.."
"Ooh!! Yah, remember I asked Sy—Li-kun over last night? Yah, well he asked me about Junko and I told him that he was my koibito.."
"Ekk Sakura-chan, I'm so sorry!! Did he take it alright though? And why are you calling him Li-kun?"
"Not really.." she sighed, resting her head beneath her arms, sighing deeply. "Onni-chan came in and when he left Li-kun was gone too..I'm calling him Li-kun once more because he doesn't want me calling him Syaroan-kun..."
Before Tomoyo could give her reaction her name is called out by the sensei, so she goes back into paying attention to the roll-call, after it is done the sensei delivers them some news.
"Class, we have a new student, I know that it is awkward to receive new students this time of year but he recently came back from Hong Kong, some of you may have studied with him back in Tomoeda Elementary, please be courteous to him and help him around as well, his name is Syaroan Li."
Tomoyo shuffles over towards Sakura, whispering quietly "Syaroan Li-kun?! What is he doing?! Did you know about this?"
Dumbfounded as well her eyes forming a anime kawaii expression, "I..have...no...idea...I am as surprised as you are.."
"Not really hun, you're actually turning a little red.." joked Chiharu.
The door is slid open and curious eyes peering out from practically the edges of their tables each person whom hasn't met or already has met Syaroan Li to appear. A highly attractive form (*drools and smacks self* contain yourself!!!) stepped into the room, his unruly hair giving off the 'bad boy' impression, but his eyes...his gaze directed towards Sakura, but no expressions shown off by the brown duo. A cold glare which is piercing right through her, almost as the same time he first saw her. But he wasn't excatly looking at her, he cared way too much to hurt her in such way, but he had been hurt, by her. Sakura wasn't one that could hurt another but in these matters she currently can, within his mind. While the two were intrigued within their minds, brewing more and more questions the other girls in the class began their 'little' comments.
"He's so HOT!" squeaked one.
"I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend!!" squealed another.
"Wanna take me to the dance this week hottie?!?!?" yelled yet another..
"Take that seat behind Ms. Daidouji, Mr. Li while I calm down these girls.." said the sensei as he, Sakura and the other boys of the class sweat-dropped at the comments.
"What a pleasant surprise Syaroan-kun" said another male voice, apparently he has ended up seated aside Sakura's boyfriend..NOT Sakura herself, oh the irony.
"Don't call me Syaroan-kun, I'm Li-kun." Retorted him roughly, once taking his seat the sensei began the class, Math's quite an easy subject to him so he wouldn't really pay attention but just rather stare out into 'Sakura space' with remorse but rather too scarred still..Argh...I dunno what to feel now...I don't know if I should be mad at Sakura-chan or just rather..I dunno..fight for her? I know she loves me..she said it!! But she no has Junko...
Soon the Math class was over they all suffered with English Literature class but later it was their lunch period, Sakura wanted to catch up to Syaroan but he had left before even she could catch up, alas..the poor guy was mobbed by girls and Junko had like, grabbed her by the wrist.
"How much of an old friend is he anyway Blossom? I figure it was before I entered Tomoeda Elementary, after all it was sorta of your 'depression' period." inquired Junko.
"Hai..he left a little before you entered the school...and it wasn't my depression period ok?! I just had many friends leaving me." She groaned, not wanting to debate with Junko but rather go behind Syaroan..she quickly left his side, reliving her hand from his light grip jogging out of the main building in search for him.
Leaning against the tree trunk as he sits on one of the highest and strongest branches something he usually did, more like an obsession for heights..(weird). Almost in meditation he murmurs in Chinese to himself thoughtfully.. "There's something about that 'boyfriend' of her's..something doesn't fit I can feel it..but how can't the Card Mistress feel it?? Her power is almost as great as my own.." He shakes his head, remembering to quiet down before that mob returns after him. I shall have Sakura, I shall confess my undying adoration for her, find out who this Junko-kun is..I don't trust that bastard.
"Welcome back Li-kun!" waved Eriol from a lower branch.
"Eriol?! Thank you I guess" he smiles sheepishly embarrassed by him.
"Sakura-chan looking for ya...I sorta guessed you would be here, felt your presence."
"Huh? Hai, I'll let her find me..I guess" shrugged the browned haired one.
"Why are you acting weird? 'I'll let her find me?' This isn't the Syaroan Li I know."
Li lowered his head whipped but yet confused. "I dunno..she usually finds me!"
"Stop acting so cocky Xiao Lang. I know what your problem is, you don't have to hide it, Junko-kun I bet is the problem..and possibly the fact Sakura didn't wait for you, but listen Xiao Lang, you didn't tell her! And her being SO dense of course figured out she loved you 2 weeks later...while you had over 2 years to do so back then! One more thing, you're right about a mysterious aura given off by Junko-kun, but I suppose it's nothing, he's harmless I bet he's just pure-hearted like Sakura and you. I know so 'cause I'm the reincarnation of Clow Reed" lectured Eriol.
Scratching the back of his head he sighed anime style, glancing back down at Eriol wide-eyed. "Ok, I know you are the almighty Clow master but you don't have to rub it in..thanks for clearing it all for me..even though I had it figured it all on my own Eriol..don't forget you had a little crush for Sakura as well..it wasn't such a secret either." replied Syaroan wittingly, turning his head backwards he sees the mob go by and behind the mob, Sakura chatting with Tomoyo, somewhat a sadness lingering in the air.
"Cover up Xiao Lang!! Your fan club!!" joked Eriol with a evil grin.
"Ssshh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" hissed Syaroan back at Eriol with a sweat-drop eyeing his 'fan-club'.
-Syaroan lover fan club mob go by- hehe
"Well I'll leave you to sulk in the tree, I see Tomoyo-chan..ooo and Sakura-chan!" jumping off the tree branch he turns over facing Tomoyo, linking his arm to hers he swiftly takes her away from Sakura, winking back at captivating emerald orbs.
"Humph..even though being the reincarnation of Clow Reed he acts like a 12 yr. old sometimes." Chuckled Syaroan.
"Li-kun.." gasped Sakura, her eyes shielded by that marvelous auburn hair, a simple clip holding back a few strands in it's grasp.
"What's wrong NOW?" replied Syaroan, chin raised as he looked up at the sky, a murky grey dullness coming over the heavens. You Baka...acting up around her once more, I thought you had gotten over such crap.
"N-Nothing..I just wanted to talk to you Li-kun."
"Ok, so talk."
"Not here..can we talk later by the bridge close to the Penguin Park?" she winced, little pain showing from her remembrances of that bridge, where he told her that he would return to Hong Kong.
"I guess, after school is over?"
"Nai, I got to help with the setup of the dance..but you're welcome to help as well."
"Hai, ja ne?"
"Hai...." she sighed, a light gasp sounding as if trying to path up things but he just makes it so hard..and he acts weird around her now..Li-kun...why won't you let me say sorry...you push me away practically.
