Meiling took off her skies and stomped into the cafeteria. She noticed it was awfully quiet and finally came to notice that everyone was sleeping.
"Huh?!" She walked around the room, tapping people on the shoulder, and poking them, but they didn't stir. "What...what happened?"
Meiling turned around and saw a glimmer of shiny blue dust, and saw a pair of wings flash by. "Hey! What was that?!"
She turned around just in time to
see a little fairy like girl sprinkling blue dust on her and she fell to
the floor asleep.
Sakura and Tomoyo started heading to the cafeteria since it was around lunch time.
"I can finally stop Tomoyo!" Sakura said happily while taking off her skies.
"I'm so proud!" Tomoyo giggled and the two stepped into the cafeteria.
Tomoyo and Sakura stared wide-eyed at all the sleeping people. "Are they all dead?" Tomoyo asked fearfully.
Sakura went over to one of them, and checked their pulse. "No, I think their in some deep sleep."
"Maybe it's a clow card Sakura! Hurry and change into your new battle costume!!!" Tomoyo was very excited now.
Sakura sweatdropped and hurried to the washrooms to change and came running out with a long long long flowing cape and funky high boots and a rather tight shirt underneath with pants that were so wide at the bottom.
"This design is so...odd!" Sakura commented.
"I combinded the elegant, yet hippish style all in one! Isn't it awesome?!" Tomoyo had her video camera held out.
Sakura sweatdropped and was about to call upon her wand when the door to the cafeteria opened.
Syaoran.
"Kinomoto?! What are you doing in the odd clothing!" Syaoran pointed at Sakura.
"I..er.."
Tomoyo jumped into the scene. "I love designing clothing and I wanted Sakura to model for it!"
Syaoran then stared at all the sleeping people and spotted Meiling. "Ah! What happened to them all?"
"I have no idea!" Sakura lied, but she didn't truly lie since she didn't know for sure that it was a clow card behind this. "We just came in here and they were all asleep!"
Syaoran closed his eyes and concentrated with his senses. *A clow card...*
Sakura looked around and closed her eyes. *...I definitely sense a clow card! But how do I catch when Syaoran's in the same room as me?! And I don't have a mask on!*
Syaoran turned to face Sakura. "I can sense your aura Kinomoto. You know magic, I know it!" Syaoran summoned his sword.
Sakura glanced at Tomoyo, who was silent but taping the whole scene. "I..." Sakura caught a sparkle of blue and turned around. "What was that?!"
Syaoran looked around the room and saw a little fairy flutter under the table. He started running after it.
*If I go and catch it, then he'll know I have the cards and he'll try to get them from me!* Sakura sighed.
"Aren't you going to go after it Sakura?" Tomoyo asked her friend.
"...No...I'll let him have this one..." Sakura frowned, reluctance in her voice. "Maybe that way he'll really think I don't know anything about the clow cards. I mean, who would give up a chance to get a clow card?"
Tomoyo nodded, "I guess you better change out of that costume before everyone wakes up."
Sakura nodded.
Syaoran returned to the cafeteria which was lively and busy again. He tucked the sleep card into his pocket. *Kinomoto didn't come after it...maybe she doesn't know about the clow cards, or magic at all...* He was lost in his thoughts when he bumped into Meiling.
"Xiaolang! I've got your lunch all ordered!" Meiling gave Syaoran a plate of his food on it.
"Thanks..."
Meiling tilted her head. "You seem depressed. I mean, deep in thought."
"I caught a card.."
"THAT'S GREAT!!!" Meiling exclaimed.
Syaoran shrugged and started poking at his food. He looked up when he heard footsteps.
"Hi Li-kun, Meiling-chan!" Tomoyo and Sakura greeted while taking seats in front of them.
"Can't you guys eat somewhere else?!" Meiling whined.
"Meiling! Don't be rude!" Syaoran glared at his cousin.
Sakura started to pick up her plate again. "It's ok...we can move..."
"No! I mean, it's alright..." Syaoran turned red. *Argh! Baka!!!* "You probably won't find anymore seats anyways, since you are so late for lunch." Syaoran muttered in a mocking tone.
Sakura frowned at his tone of voice. *Why is he always so mean?!*
*BAKA! Why can't I be nice for once...* Syaoran frowned to himself while taking a bite out of his lunch. "I'm...sorry..."
"What?" Sakura blinked in confusion.
Syaoran turned red again. "For being rude." He decided to look at his food instead of her.
Sakura smiled, "It's ok."
Meiling had cletched fists. "Syaoran can be rude to you if he likes to! We were trained together to be strong and cold so if you can't take it then just go away!"
"Meiling!" Syaoran snapped.
Meiling unclentched her fists and started to stab at her food with her fork.
"Trained together? To be strong and cold?" Tomoyo asked.
"Er yeah...back in Hong Kong we use to train together." Syaoran explained.
"And we were very happy that way!" Meiling added.
Syaoran ignored her and continued. "I wasn't taught how to be nice...all I knew was that I had to fight and be strong..." *Why am I saying all this anyways?!* "Oh whatever."
Sakura kind of actually felt sorry for him. "That's so sad Li-kun..."
"I don't need your pity."
"There you go again! What's with you and your rudeness Li Syaoran?! Do you know if you keep on being so mean and rude, no one will ever want to be around you!" Sakura jumped up from her seat. "All you know how to say is how pathetic I am. Even if I want to be your friend, you just drive me away."
Tomoyo eyed her friend at her sudden outburst.
Syaoran was holding his fork tightly that his knuckles turned white. *Just great...I'm a baka.*
Meiling jumped up from her seat. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT MY XIAOLANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed and lunged at Sakura. "GRR!!!"
"MEILING! STOP IT!" Syaoran jumped from his seat to. "She's..she's right..." Syaoran muttered softly.
Meiling fell back to her seat, her eyes softening. "No Xiaolang! You're not mean, or rude, or cold hearted! You're just the Xiaolang I know!"
"But don't you ever feel horrible? When I push you aside all the time? And how I say your so annoying? Don't you think that's mean?" Syaoran snapped.
After all his fifteen years of life, he finally relized how rude and mean he was acting around everyone.
"...I...I don't know..." Meiling admitted.
"I take that as a yes." Syaoran grunted.
Sakura calmed herself down. "Gomen (sorry)...I just..."
"No, don't be. I...I should be the one saying sorry. I'm the one who was so rude at the start, I'm the one that called you pathetic everytime I saw you," Syaoran let it all come out of him. It felt good not to hide all his emotions deep in himself. It felt like he was freed from a cage that he had been locked in for fifteen years. Saying out what his emotions were felt good, but he had never learned to do that when he was little. His mother never taught him to speak out his mind, but just to train and train to become the future leader of the Li-clan.
Meiling was very surprised at the sudden change of Syaoran. *He...he never says sorry...or admits that he's wrong...*
Syaoran turned to Meiling. "Dui bu qi Meiling (I'm sorry Meiling). I've been really mean to you...."
"...It's alright Syaoran...I love you for who you are...." Meiling said softly.
"But I don't love you." Syaoran answered.
Meiling felt something stab at her. It was painful to hear those words coming from Syaoran. *The one I love...* She stood up from her seat. "I'm going to go on a walk..."
"Meiling..." Syaoran started to get up but she motioned for him to stop.
"No, I want to be alone for once. I need to think." Meiling smiled at him and left the cafeteria.
Tomoyo decided to leave Syaoran and Sakura alone, so she excused herself to the washrooms.
"Now I feel bad for saying that to Meiling..." Syaoran said sadly.
*He's showing his emotions...* Sakura thought to herself. "You're actually showing some emotion Li-kun. Instead of that usual glare and cold look you have on your face."
"Let's just say...that's my mask..." Syaoran shrugged.
Sakura found it amusing to hear Syaoran say these things. It was just not him. "You sound so funny when you say these things!"
"Why?" Syaoran frowned, a bit frustrated.
"Because it's so unlike you!" Sakura giggled.
Syaoran blushed, and noticed that he was saying to much to a girl that he didn't know so well. Sakura stopped giggling and stood up. "I've finally got the hang of skiing! So you want to join my and Tomoyo? And Meiling can too."
Syaoran nodded and got up.
Sakura got on her skies. "Can we be friends? And not rivals like we use to be?"
Syaoran paused to think, then slowly nodded again with a light shade of red creeping up onto his cheeks. Sakura gave him a smile and turned around which he was glad since he was blushing even more now.
"Come on, let's go."
AN: Aw ;) Syaoran and his blushing! Lol ^^;; Well, Syaoran seems to be liking Sakura a bit more neh? Tee hee!
