"Sorry Tomoyo I didn't mean to scream at you..."
She gave a smile. "It's okay Syaoran! I can see that you were observing something." She looked at Sakura and Eriol. Eriol saw Tomoyo and winked at her. She knew what to do.
"Aw.... Look at Sakura and Eriol!!!!" Syaoran looked up to see both of them laughing.
"Eriol was always the gentlemen. He's so handsome and he has the personality to go along with it! I don't know any girl that doesn't like him." Soon Syaoran glared at Eriol *I can be like that too, If Sakura ever wanted me to be like that...*
Soon Tomoyo could hear little snarles from Syaoran. *It's working...*
"Hey can you imagin them ever going out?!" That's when Syaoran broke his lead pencil. He gripped it so hard that it broke into, not 2, but into thousands of pieces. You could see the fire in his eyes and steam coming from his head. Tomoyo looked at Syaoran with a confused look on her face. She always knew how to act. *That broke him...* "Syaoran.... Don't tell me you have feelings for Sakura!"
"What about Sakura?"
"You like her don't you? No, let me rephrase that! You still LOVE her don't you?!"
Syaoran looked down in defeat. "I never could hide anything from you Tomoyo."
She giggled. "Nothing can get passed me! Here's some advice." She put an arm around Syaoran's shoulders. He looked at Tomoyo. "You better tell her how you feel soon!! Or else it will be too late!" she said pointing straight at Eriol.

Title: A New Place
Chapter 5: Saying Sorry
By: OneWeirdMoNkEy!

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS!! Clamp and Kodansha does.... So... yeah do sue okay?!

*Is it that hard to do? All you have to do is walk up to her, say what you have to say, and leave! It's that simple... No, its not. I can never be that simple. Not when I'm talking with HER! She makes everything into a big deal! But you have to do it.... For Sakura* Syaoran's amber eyes were staring into space. He was so deep in thought that he bumped into Meiling.
"Oh Syaoran!! Are you alright? I'm sorry..." Ruby eyes were filled with worry as Syaoran's eyes swirled around anime style and a big lump began to develop on his head.
*Everything is so blurry... Who's that?* As his eyes came into focus, he found a girl with long raven hair and ruby eyes staring right at him.
"MEILING!!" He got up and blushed for being so clumsy.
"Um... yeah... Hi to you too Syaoran."
"...."
"Syaoran, are you okay? What's wrong? Did I hit you that hard in the head??"
"Um... Meiling we kinda need to talk"
Meiling was scared. The serious tone he was giving gave Meiling a chill down her spine. "Yes Syaoran?"
He hesitated knowing what Meiling would do if he say something wrong. "Meiling I don't think its gonna work..."
"What do you mean 'work'" Meiling eyes were gathering tears from every word Syaoran was saying. *Are you saying you want to break up with me?*
"I mean us. I don't think it will work out."
Meiling stood there speechless. Tears were running down her face like rivers. She stood there, looking straight at Syaoran, disappointment written all over her pale face. Silence fell upon them both. "So are you saying you want to break up with me?!" Meiling shouted, breaking the silence.
"Um... I'm sorry Meiling but..." He was scared on what to say after. "y.....y..." he started then ended with "yeah"
She was outraged. You could see the fire developing in those ruby eyes of hers. *It's that Kinomoto Girl!!* "Fine Syaoran!!! I see how it is! You just want to break up with me so you could go out with Kinomoto!! RIGHT?!!"
"Meiling... I...."
"Oh shut up Syaoran! You know thats the reason! You don't have to lie about it! Look I have to go now. See you around Syaoran!" She left before Syaoran could get another word in.

*Syaoran! Why??? Why did you have to break my heart like this? If you still loved Kinomoto then why did you ask me out with the first place? I just don't get you sometimes.* Meiling's tears blocked her vision. But out in the view she could see a girl with aurburn her and emerald eyes with a big 500 watt smile on her pretty face. *SAKURA!!!* She glared at her. She soon started to walk towards her then she broke into a fast run. Sakura looked from the corner of her eye to find Meiling running straight at her. "Meiling... What are you... AH!!"
Meiling pushed her against the locker. From the hard impact, Sakura fell right to the ground moaning and rolling on the floor, with her back in so much pain. She shot Meiling with an evil death glare. "Meiling what the hell is your problem?!!!!!!!!"
Meiling looked down at her with tears still coming down her face. "How could you Kinomoto!!??"
"How could I what?!!"
"How could you steal Syaoran away from me?!! You just had to fall in love with him didn't you?!! BUT WHY HIM?!! You're already popular and you could've gotten any other guy that you wanted at this school! But you just had to pick Syaoran!! WHY?!!"
"Meiling what the hell are you talking about?!! I did not steal Syaoran away from you!! I would never do that!!"
"Thats bullshit! Syaoran broke up with me because of you!! It's all your damn fault!"

Meiling then slapped Sakura in the face. Sakura's left cheek started turning red, like the color of blood. Sakura touched it. It stinged. Sakura felt the anger inside of herself grow and grow til she too, slapped Meiling in the face. Meiling was suprised from this. She got angry and soon she started fighting against Sakura. Meiling started to pull Sakura's hair and teared her clothes apart. Sakura started punching Meiling in the face and sooned kicked her in the legs. But Meiling didn't train Martial Arts for nothing. She kicked Sakura to the ground and she got ontop of her and slapped her face and punch her when she heard her name called out. "MEILING!!!!!!!!"
She couldn't see from the millions of people that gathered around her to see the fight. But soon the little figure came into view. His amber eyes stared right at Meiling. Anger surged inside his body. Meiling could see this. His glare gave Meiling another chill down her spine. She got off Sakura and she stood up. Syaoran ran towards her and then stopped right in front of Meiling. Meiling stared down to see his hands were gathered up into a fist, ready to be unleashed at her. His breathing was hard and deep. He was trying to let all the anger out before he releases on Meiling. "Meiling what the hell is your problem?!!"
Meiling's eyes widened. "Syaoran... I... I..."
"You what Meiling?!!! Why did you have to go and beat up Sakura for?!!! She didn't do jackshit to you! Meiling say sorry right now!"
"Hell no!!! Do you know how much pain she caused me ever since I met her in Japan!! You don't know Syaoran!! So don't tell me to say sorry when you don't even know what she has done to me!"
"Meiling, what has gotten in to you!! You know you've gone too far and you know that Sakura never deserved this!! And you do not know at all how much pain you gave to Sakura!! All she wanted to do was be friends with you! But no!!!!!!! You just had to keep pushing her away and keep thinking she's you enemy. Your jealousy blinded you!! You could've had a really good friendship with Sakura!
"That's not..."
"It's true and you know it!!!"
The last words that Meiling heard struck her hard. Was it true that her jealousy blinded her? Was is true that Sakura served more pain than she did. Meiling watched Syaoran as he made his way to Sakura. His face softened as he picked up Sakura and wrapped his arm around her waist and held Sakura's arm around his shoulder. He walked away with Sakura around him. He stopped and turned back to find Meiling crying on her knees with her hands covering her face.

~*At Syaoran's house*~

Sakura lied there motionless. Soon she stirred. She took in a deep breath and soon the smell of autumn leaves overcame her. She felt warm inside. The scent soothed her. The blissful scent reminded her of something. Or maybe a someone... *Syaoran...* To her surprise she found Syaoran, leaning against the door with his arms folded and his eyes closed. She began to wonder. "Syaoran... What are you doing here?"
He opened his eyes and stared straight at the confused girl. He smirked. "I live here Sakura..."
She turned a light shade of pink. "Oh... Then what am I doing here?"
"You got into a fight remember?" He walked over to his desk and sat down on the chair facing Sakura.
Sakura pondered for a moment. She looked to the side and saw her reflection projecting before her. Her face were full of bruises and bandages. She got up but soon fell back down on the bed from the pain that surged inside her back. She then remembered what happened before. Syaoran ran over to her side. "You shouldn't be getting up. You have a big bruise on your back. You should rest for the rest of the day. You can go home later."
Anger filled inside her. Meiling was the one that did this to her. Sakura didn't even know what made Meiling so upset. She did not deserve this. But she soon calmed down when Syaoran sat next to her. Being this close to him always made her troubles fly away. She could feel the warmth that Syaoran was projecting. She wanted to lean her head on his shoulder so bad. She wanted to feel his strong arms around her body to keep her away from harm. But she only knew that it was only a dream. A dream that was out of reach. "So Syaoran how did I get here?"
"Well... After the fight you could barely walk so I helped you walk home. You were giving me the directions to your house but then you fell asleep on me so I just decided to carry you to my house since it was closer to where we were."
"Oh..." Sakura's stomach then told her that it was time to eat by the little groul you could hear. She laughed sheepishly and sweatdropped. "Um... Do you have anything to eat?"
Syaoran smiled one of his rare smiles that only Sakura would see. It made her feel special. "As a matter of fact, I do. I was cooking some chicken soup after I bandaged you up. Do you wants some?"
Sakura's mouth started to water. She could picture the delicious food sitting in front of her waiting to be fed into her mouth. Syaoran smirked. "I guess thats a yes."

Syaoran soon came back with a tray with food. Sakura's eyes twinkled. "Fooooooooooooood..." she echoed. Syaoran laughed at the site he was seeing right now.
Sakura moved her hand towards the fork and picked it up but then dropped it again. The pain moved from her back to her right arm. She winced in pain. "Here let me help you with that." Sakura's eyes widened but then agreed. Syaoran fed Sakura until the soup was gone. He smiled at her. She looked at him. "What are you smiling at?"
"On nothing. You just look like a little baby thats all." He said in a baby-ish voice and pinch Sakura's cheek while he was laughing.
"Hey! That's not funny." She pouted and folded her arms baby style. She looked up at Syaoran with those big emerald orbs of hers. Syaoran could feel his knees getting weak every minute. Her beauty was unique. But not only her outer features were beautiful, her inner features were just as beautiful. He loved the way his cherry blossom was always determined to do something. Whatever Sakura started, she'll finish it no matter how long it takes or how hard it is. He also loved her care-free attitude. It reminds him of the times when he wished he wasn't so uptight, but when he was around Sakura he didn't have to worry about that. But her clueless trait just made him love her even more.
"Hey Syaoran?"
He snapped back into reality. "Yeah Sakura?"
"Did you break up with Meiling?"
He shuddered from the memory that went across his mind. "Yes I did"
"Why?"
He hesitated to tell her. *It's because of you Sakura... But should I tell you now or is it too sudden?* "Ummm" Syaoran was turning red. He didn't know if he should tell Sakura his feelings for her now or later on.
"Yes???? Syaoran????"
"Uh.... because... I thought it was my time to make my own decisions. I didn't want to be Meiling's boyfriend. I love her and everything but not in that special way."
"Oh... Okay I get it!" Sakura replied putting a smile on her face.
Syaoran sighed in relief. *It's too early to tell her. It'll just put her into more drama.*

~*Next day at school*~

Sakura was twirling her pencil in detention. *Damn it... I didn't even start the fight and I still get detention!*
But on the other corner was Meiling, writing some sort of letter. She put down her pencil and folded the note. She got up to go sharpen her pencil. The pencil sharpener was near Sakura. As she walked near the sharpener she tossed the note directly at Sakura. Sakura looked at her with a questioning look and looked down at the note after. She opened it to see that Meiling has written something on the paper. She started to read.

Sakura,
I'm very very very sorry for being a stupid bitch towards you. I was just so mad that Syaoran broke up with me and since you were there, I guess I unleashed my anger at you. As much as I don't deserve Syaoran, I don't deserve your forgiveness. But if you do see it in your heart to forgive I'll be very grateful. If you ever decide to go out with Syaoran, don't hesitate to say yes just because of me. I'm with you a 100% Just don't tell anyone okay? It'll kinda ruin my rep... Well see you later!
With lots of love,
Meiling

Sakura giggled at the last sentence. She soon started to jot down something on the paper. When she was finished she crumpled it up into a small ball. She looked at the teacher who had his back turned away from the two so Sakura threw the little ball over to Meiling which hit her head. Meiling looked around to see who it was and she saw Sakura staring right at her. She opened the letter and read it.

Meiling,
I forgive you. I shouldn't have slapped you... Even though I was trying to calm you down but I guess that didn't work. Don't tell anyone okay?!! what I'm about to tell you... Even though some people around school said I don't love Syaoran... It's not true... I still love him. I guess I was jealous of you and Syaoran. You know being a couple and everything. Talk to you later Meiling! Oh yeah and I won't tell anyone if you don't tell anyone kay?! Let's make this our little secret.
With Much Love,
Sakura

Meiling giggled. She looked up at Sakura to see a bright shining smile beaming at her. She smiled back at her. She knew now that she just made a new friend.
