Chaptor 2: tougher than it looks
"Hi Sakura." Li smiled as she walked out the front door. For once she wasn't wearing her roller blades.
"Hey!" Sakura replied happily as he grabbed her hand
"Li! Sakura!" running up came Li's four little sisters.
"Were going to your school!" Lavender exclaimed.
"Yea can we walk with you guys?" Laura asked.
"Puh leeeaassee?" They all pouted.
Sakura giggled. "Of course."
*~*~*~*~At School~*~*~*~*
"Bye guys, have fun!" Sakura and the girls went off in different directions.
When they got in the classroom, everyone was really happy to see Li back again.
"Omygosh, you to are *still* together??" Chelsea asked.
"Oooh Thats so sweet!" Nikki exclaimed.
"Wow, I think thats just so romantic." Rita sighed. "I wish *I* had a b/f...."
"Oh come on Rita, you can have anyone you want" Sakura said reassuringly.
Now their new classroom for sixth grade was bigger than their old one. And in stead of desks, they had
tables. And Sakura was relieved because Li and Madison got to sit on each side of her, Meilin got the other side of
Madison and Eriol got the other side of Li. Unfortunately, Margie sat right behind Sakura.
"Hello Li." Eriol said greeted cheerfully.
"Hi Eriol." Li replied.
"How are you?" Eriol asked.
"Fine." He replied dully.
"Oh come on, don't tell me your still mad about our battle a few months back, I told you, I had to
challenge Sakura." Eriol replied offensively.
"You could have killed her." Li replied flatly.
Eriol sighed.
"Li, you know as well as I do that Sakura is the rightful one for the cards. It was my job to make sure of
that, what if it had fallen into the wrong hands? An-" he was cut off.
"A girl? Evil?"
"Well,..... just look at Meilin." Eriol replied thoughtfully.
Meilin glared at him. "I heard that."
"True." Li tried not to laugh.
"And as I was saying before, I have been around a long time and as an experienced sorcerer, and a very
powerful one at that-" then seeing the look on Li's face., "and that since your my wonderful descendant, you may
very well turn out powerful, but thats not the point. The point is that, I had to know for sure that Sakura had the
strength and will to handle great power. I mean, the Clow Cards possess great powers. And if she died, well that
would mean that she wasn't the right one. Not that I'd ever want to she such a great person perish but, in
some-maybe most cases- death is only the beginning of a great new adventure! Its all part of fate. And you Li, as
my only real family, I want you to understand that my intentions are not bad." Eriol explained.
"Well Eriol, I guess I can understand that. Um...thanks. And I never thought I'd say this but- I
never...*really* hated you." Li confessed.
"I knew you didn't. It's a matter of pride. A great family virtue. You are my *direct descendant*, your
heart beats like mine, I know you feel, even if you don't show it." Eriol said as a matter of factly.
"Ok class, settle down. Now I am very happy to welcome back a former student, Li Showron. We are glad
to see you back." Ms. Mckenzie said as she walked in.
All through math class Sakura just couldn't concentrate. She just couldn't shake away an uneasy feeling
of loathing coming from someone in the room. Li tried to help her through class countless times, but she kept
drifting, as always.
Lunch:
Li and Sakura sat in the same Sakura tree they used to to eat lunch.
*ooooh, this is gonna be tougher than it looks. Jeesh, they're practically attached to eachother! Rrrrr, well,
maybe I can catch him off gaurd after gym before school ends. It would be most disturbing if she followed him in
*there* hehehe, then I'll get him* Margie glared at the two from a distance. *I'll get you back somehow Avalon...
you and your mother...*
The bell rang. It was time to get back to class.
Margie glanced over to see Sakura nd Li hand-in-hand.
As everyone waited for class to start, they talked quietly.
"Do you think that girls jealous? She looks really mad." Li said, looking at Margie once they were seated.
"She's been giving us te 'die' look all day."
"Who cares what she thinks." Sakura said flatly. "All the boys don't seem to notice anything but her
boobs. They all like her."
"I don't." Came Eriols voice, he was now seated. "If you ask me, I think shes an over-spoiled, stuck up
distasteful user. Slut I daresay." Eriol said in his usual intelegent tone.
"Good one." Li gave Eriol a low-five.
"Yea, go Eriol." Sakura giggled.
"Hey you guys, Have you noticed Margies staring at you?" Madison whispered.
"Well, if she feels the need to stare, you should at least give her something to look at." Eriol whispered,
and evil grin spreading across his pale face.
Li, getting the hint, smiled. "Great idea."
He tapped Sakura on the shoulder, who was talking quietly to Meilin.
"What is it Li?" Sakura asked turning around.
"Li pressed his lips on to Sakuras, quickly getting over the surprise she kissed back a lingering soft kiss.
Then they parted.
"I beleive that deserves a 10 for style." Madison said with her video camera out.
"Definately. Golf clap?" Eriol asked.
"Yea, for sure." Madison and Meilin giggled.
Sakura and Li blushed slightly. They heard a SNAP! The five of them looked over at Margie whose pencil
was in two on the table.
"Oh, I must have been, like, gripping my pencil too hard." Margie forced a fake smile.
"Like, yea right. She could have, like, broke a nail." Eriol whispered, immitating her.
They all laughed silently.
"I didn't know you had such a great sense of humor." Meilin said laughing.
"Of course I do, why can't a person like me have a sense of humor?" Eriol asked, surprised.
"Well, your always so quiet and poised. I wouldn't expect you to have a sense of humor, especially if your
related to Li." Meilin stifled a giggle.
"Hey!" Li said defensivly.
"Just kidding."
"You better be!"
After the last class of the day, Gym, Margie hid outside the boys locker room and waited for Li. *God, I
feel like such a perve* she thought to herself.
Finally, Li walked out the door talking with Zachary.
"I prefer hot dogs rather than salad, because, nutritionally hot dogs are made with healthier substances."
Zachary said smartly.
"Yea, sure Zachary." Li said, ignoring his best friends usual stories, O fcourse they were untrue, butthats
why Li liked him. He had a great imagination.
"Um, Li can I like, talk to you?" Magies said jogging out of some nearby bushes.
Li stopped.
"Hehe, like, I'm Margie. I'd just like to, um, like welcome you to school and stuff."
"Thanks, but I just moved away for two months, I came back to the same school." Li replied.
*just like sakura said...nutcase*
"Oh, of corse, um so, do you think you'd like to get together sometime and just hang out.?" Margie asked.
"I don't think I can, sorry. I've been really busy- family stuff." Li replied, getting a little irritated.
"Oh, I see."
"Well, I gotta go catch up with my girlfriend, can't be late." Li hurried off.
"I will hang out with you anytime." Zachary offered.
"Um, heh...o...k..." Margie said, forcing a smile.
*GOD DAMMIT! I CANT BELEIVE I BLEW THAT!!*
"Hi Sakura." Li smiled as she walked out the front door. For once she wasn't wearing her roller blades.
