***~After School~***
"Tomoyo! Tomoyo! Wait up!" Li runs up to her. "Where's Sakura?"
She frowns. "She's with Toni over there; he just took her. I was talking to her and then all of a sudden, he just...like...stole her. It was weird."
He frowned too. What is he doing? His eyes narrowed once again. He better not do anything, or else I'll kill him for hurting her...
"Oh, Isn't it Li Syaoran?"
"Huh?" he turned, face to face with Toni; both we're relatively the same height. "Oh, Toni.."
"I overheard you like Sakura...." He grined.
Li blushed. "What?! I mean...How do you know? Who told you?" His eyes narrowed once again.
"Oh, I just heard from around. I mean...gossip travels quick in this school. I think I could get used to this..." He smirked.
"What does that mean?" Li blurted out, his eyes burning with anger. If there weren't so many people gathering already, he would hit the kid. He sure did deserve it for being a smartass.
"Oh, Temper Temper.....Lita was right, you are short tempered..." He grinned again.
"Toni! Stop!" Sakura ran up to the two testosterone over-loaded guys. "What are you fighting about?" She whispered to the side-"People are staring"..
Li smiled warmly. "Nothing Sakura, don't worry about it. I have to talk to you later."
"Ohh..." Toni grabbed Sakura's waist and pulled her close to him. "He wants to talk to you, Sakura. I think he's jealous." He smiled.
"Jealous of what?" She squirmed from his grip, and slipped to Li's side. "I think your the jealous one. Coming on to someone you don't even know anything about. Who do you think you are?"
Toni smirked again. "Oh, C'mon Sakura. You couldn't like this guy. He's so...plain. I mean really, don't you want someone who's adventurous...like...me perhaps..."
"She wouldn't touch you if she were the last guy on Earth." Li interrupted, cletching Sakura's hand. "If you were a REAL guy, you'd treat her with a bit of respect...Don't you think? No wait, you think with your 'head'."
A roar of laughter came from the surrounding group of people around the three. Girls were giggling and guys were chuckling at Toni.
Toni became red with anger and lunged at Li, breaking his grip of Sakura's hand and sending them both to the ground. With one punch, he delivers it to Li's face..directly on his once suttle right cheek bone. The boys exchanged punches until Li rolled out from him and stood up.
"Throwing punches...that's your style..." He grins.."Now...Let's play my way.." Li flew at him, kicking at his stomach and then a quick jab under the jaw; sending Toni flying back into the crowd and to the floor.
"Dammit, Li!" Toni stood up holding his stomach as he glared to Li. Li stood in a ready position, tense yet soars beginning to pulsate with every heart beat. "We'll finish this another time...Watch your back Li Syaoran. Watch it..." He pushed through the crowd and to the streets, stumbling and pushing random people from his path.
Sakura clung to Li, and hugged him. Then, realizing what she did, she backs off; and blushes. Both their faces red, they look to each other and laugh softly.
"That was great! I got it on tape too! ^.^" Tomoyo turns off her V8. "This is gonna be a great one!" She runs off. "I gotta get home and work on this! Bai you two!"
Sakura looks up to Li, she never truely realized how much taller than her he became. He was almost six foot, and she a half a foot smaller than he. Their eyes met for a minute, each becoming tranced with each other.
She shoke her head. "Oh...Li..I..I t-think.." She bagan as she placed her finger under his chin and brought his face to hers.
His eyes widened. No way...No way...He blinked.
"I think you have a bruise and a cut from where he punched you..." She ran her soft hand along his cheek, wiping the dripping streams of blood that trickled slowly. He flinched a bit, and placed his hand on hers.
"I'm fine" He smiles.
"Oh..Alright.." She smiles, her cheeks a bit rosy as she takes her embrassed hand to her side. "But, you should clean it, and place a band-aid on it. Here...come back with me. I'll clean it up." She smiled again and picked up her books, dragging Li's bag along with hers. "Geez!" she sighed, slumping the bag next to Li. "What do you have in here!?"
"Oh...just...books..." He smiled as he easily tossed the bag over his shoulder. "C'mon, Let's go." He pretends to cry. "My cheek hurts."
She giggles. "Alright, baby. Let's get you cleaned up."
