Aha. Well, here's chap.2 of my fic.
Disclaimers: AH FORGET IT!!! Yu know the whole story!! I don't own CCS!!
Jeez. Just don't sue me! I spent a hard time collecting my money!
Oh yes, Syaoran lost Sakura before they went into high school and now
Tomoyo, Meiling, and Syaoran are about to go into their second year of
college. (don't forget that. you might get confused a bit if you don'. ^.^)
By the way, their college doesn't have uniforms. Touya and Yuki is
hm....well, I really haven't made plans for them yet. (Don't flame me that
you want them in the fic! Just tell me and I'll try to put them in!)
I didn't want to copy anybody's idea for the name 'Memories...' because
I just looked around now and I saw many chapters with the title and
'Memories' I just thought it fit this S+S fic. Okay? Please try not to be
harsh on flames!
'......' Thoughts
*********** scene changes
~~~~~~~~ end of chapter
Chap. 2 The New Girl
"Syaoran? Where did he go?"
"He was here."
Tomoyo and Meiling looked around with puzzled looks.
"Um¡¦I guess he left," Meiling answered.
"He must of heard our conversation. It probably made him sad to think about Sakura again. I think he really did go home, Meiling," Tomoyo replied.
"I guess we have to go home, too, cuz the sun is setting."
"Yeah, and tomorrow's the first day of college. Ugh. This is the second year. I wish we would still have a week left of vacation. *sigh*," Meiling said sadly.
"Oh well, I'll see you and Syaoran-kun tomorrow," Tomoyo said, while packing up her camera into her bag.
"Yeah. Bye."
*************************
A boy with cinnamon-colored hair was walking down the street with his
face down, dejected and miserable.
'How could I let her go? How could I? I could have used the Time
card. But wait, the card was in the tent. I forgot. Besides the card is
Sakura's now. No. She's gone. Because of me. Now, there's no one to protect
the cards. Maybe me, but that's Sakura's job. Not mine. Argh! What am I
supposed to do! She's gone, a huge chance that the cards *could* be scattered again because she's de..no, she's gone. I don't want to use the other word. *sigh* Why am I thinking of her anyway? She's gone now.'
"Syaoran! Hey Syaoran! Wait up!" a voice yelled behind him.
Syaoran looked behind him. "Hi Meiling."
Meiling looked annoyed. "That's it? Hi? That's it?"
He didn't answer. Meiling felt that he had a dark cloud over himself so she stayed quiet until they reached home. 'I hope he feels more cheerful soon, although I doubt it,' Meiling thought. *sigh*
Syaoran looked up at her. "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I'll make dinner, ok?"
"Do you have experience with the kitchen?" Syaoran teased.
"Mother taught me and I can make anything, now. I'm not the little cousin you knew before," she snapped back at him as they entered the house. But inside, she felt relieved that Syaoran was at least, talking to her.
"Go to your room and rest. Besides, you are tired, aren't you? I'll call you up for dinner. Now, come on! I don't want to beg you to go, now come on!!!" she exclaimed while pushing him to his room.
"Alright, alright, I'm going. Sheesh. Girls are always so pushy," he muttered as he rolled on to his bed. 'Just like Sakura. She had to do the same thing when I got a cold. Argh! I have to stop thinking about her. I miss you though, Sakura. Why did you have to leave...' He fell into a deep sleep after he was thinking of the statement.
"Syaoran! Dinner's ready! Syaoran! Hey¡¦ How come he's not coming out of his room? Wonder what he's doing now..." Meiling walked over to his door and peeked inside. There she saw Syaoran, sleeping peacefully without covering himself with his blanket.
"Hmph. He could catch a cold. Look! He even opened the window all the way! And it's Fall! He knows better than that!" Meiling started muttering to herself as she closed the window and covered Syaoran. Then, her expression changed as she looked at Syaoran.
"It must be hard losing one of your loved ones. I hope Sakura's watching over him if she is dead. But I have a feeling that she's not...," she said sadly. Then something started to make her nose twitch and make her sneeze. It smelt like something was burning. Meiling widened her eyes as she smelt it.
"Aiyee!!!! I left the soup on the stove," she yelled as she ran out of his room. Fortunately, he didn't hear a single thing. A dream was occuring while he was sleeping.
A girl, with long chestnut-colored hair, was standing in the midst. She wore a white gown that was made of silk and other soft fabric. A breeze gently blew around her face, letting her hair flow behind her. Her hands were placed over her heart and she whispered his name softly and delicately. He couldn't see her clearly because of all the mist that was there. "Who are you? I think I've saw you before...wait, Sakura???" he asked, surprised. But the dream ended abruptly, when suddenly he heard Meiling's voice in the distance.
"SYAORAN!!!! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP!!!!"
"Aiyah!!!!" Syaoran yelled as he woke up and stood out of bed. He saw Meiling at the front of his door with a not-so-pleasant frown on her face. 'And I thought I was the one who frowned,' he thought. "Hurry up. I already made breakfast. We can't be late on our first day of our second year of college, you know," Meiling replied.
"I'm going! Jeez."
*********************
"Where are those two? Mr. and Ms. Punctual?" Chiharu asked.
"They say if you're late that means...."
"That's enough Takashi-kun. Don't make me hurt you," she replied.
"He's still making up stories?" Rika asked with amusement.
"Making more along the way," Chiharu said in exasperation.
"They're here!" Tomoyo said.
"At least we made it on time, Meiling. So stop with that irritated look!" Syaoran said for the 5th time, exasperately. The girls who were watching giggled at the scene before them. Syaoran was pleading for the first time, and Meiling had a frown on her face. Then she loosened.
"Fine then. Just try not to over sleep again."
Just then their professor came in the room. " Settle down, class. Get to your seat."
Suddenly Rika yelped out a squeak.
"Is something wrong, Rika?" The other students stared at him as well including Syaoran and Meiling.
"Terada-sensei!?" Rika squeaked again.
"Professor Terada, now. I just wanted to see how it is teaching in college. Anywayz, I see some old faces. Now, I've got something to tell you, so please sit down in your seats, children!"
Then he heard some groans.
"Mr. Terada~ We're not kids anymore. We're college students," Naoko complained.
"Excuse me, Naoko. Now will you, please, get in your seats?"
"Yes, sir..."
"Before we get started, I would like to introduce a new student to this class. Please come in."
A girl came into the room. She had long chestnut-colored hair and wore a canary-yellow headband. She wore a summer sea-green dress with a jean short-sleeved jacket to top it all off. To match with her headband, she wore yellow shoes that had a buckle. Her emerald-green eyes sparkled as she looked around at her new class.
"Her name is Takahashi Cherry. She's new around here and I hope all of you will make her feel welcomed," the sensei said after writing down her name on the board.
"Hello, I am very please to meet you. I hope I will come very good friends with all of you," Cherry said to her pleasantly.
"Cherry, you can sit in front of Li Syaoran, on the 4th row. Sitting next to him, is Li Meiling. She's the one with blue-purple hair tied up in buns."
"Yes, sensei."
Many boys in the class whistled and hooted when she greeted all of them. But Syaoran just stared at her. ' Sakura? No, she said her name was Cherry. But she looks familiar...she's from my dream!? Is she?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha! So what do you think? Good cliffhanger or bad? I bet all of you
already know who Cherry is. Especially the people from Korea. Hehehe. If you don't? I'm not gonna tell you.
Um...was this chapter longer than the first or shorter than the first? Uh...I'm not really sure. -_-;;
I got the last name for Cherry from my friend. Her last name is Takahashi. I hope no one feels offended right now cuz i don't want to get into trouble. *grin*
Flames? Don't be too harsh. Compliments? Oh, you guys are so kind. *dabbing my eyes with a hankie* Heehee¡¦ J/K But I mean it. Okay? Hope you like my fic so far! R&R please!
