Chapter 3: Quarreling



The next couple of days were horrible for Sakura. All she received from Syaoran were death glares and grunts, and at times a emotionless stare that scared her out of her mind. She felt like how she had felt when she had first met Syaoran and how uneasy that had been.

Sakura took a breath and stepped into the classroom, immediately greeted by Kahzuni much to her disgust.

"Can't you leave me alone for once?" Sakura snapped.

"Come on Sakura! I'm just trying to be friends with you!" Kahzuni took her hand gently.

Sakura yanked it away. "Friends?! You call this trying to be friends?" Sakura muttered and stormed to her desk, slamming her back pack on her desk, which surprised Tomoyo and even Syaoran.

"Whoa Sakura-chan! What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked, wide eyed. "Is it about Li-kun again?" She asked in a lower voice so Syaoran wouldn't hear from his seat diagonal from her's.

Sakura shook her head. "No, it's Retosha-kun."

"Oh, that baka!" Tomoyo cried.

Sakura turned around to face Syaoran, and she tried to give him a smile but he shot her a glare.

"What are you trying to do Kinomoto?! Break my heart again?!" He shot at her.

Sakura jumped back in surprise and quickly turned around, tears welling up in her eyes. She was just trying to be nice to him, and even smiling wasn't good. She pushed her chair back and left the classroom abruptly.

"Nice going Li-kun," Tomoyo tried one of Syaoran's glares at Syaoran.

Syaoran stayed silent, feeling ashamed at what he had just done. But then, when he saw that scene of Sakura and Kahzuni kissing, he felt his anger rise again.

The day went by, and it finally was the last period of the day, P.E.

They were have a volleyball tournament much to Sakura's glee. There were four teams and four courts. Sakura was against Rika's team and Syaoran was against Kahzuni's team, as much as he hated it.

Syaoran bumped the ball over the net, and a boy in his class volleyed it back. He decided to spike it over and it almost hit Kahzuni right on the head. Syaoran growled under his breath at how close he had been just as the ball was shooting straight at him.

"Whoa! Watch out Syaoran!" Takashi yelled.

Syaoran jumped back just as the ball came speeding down to the gym floor, causing a dent in the floor much to everyone's shock.

"W...Wow...Retosha-kun! That...that's wicked!" Taskashi exclaimed.

"But dangerous," Mrs. Mena said with a stern voice and eyed the floor. "How could this have happened with just a volley ball?"

No one said anything.

"Well, play safely is the number one rule," Mrs. Mena left to go on the side lines again.

Syaoran glared at Kahzuni and walked right up to the net to face him closer. "You did something with that ball didn't you?"

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," Kahzuni smirked. "But either way, you better watch your back Li Syaoran." He started laughing at walked into the boy's change room just as Mrs. Mena signaled that P.E. was over.

Syaoran eyed him suspicously, a glare still on his face. *He's dangerous...Sakura, I should warn her...but..she..argh...I still should..*

Sakura walked home alone, since Tomoyo had to go somewhere with her mother. She was glad that Kahzuni hadn't been around or else she would have ended up walking with him. She sighed, she wished that Syaoran was hear to walk with her like the old days.

Suddenly the wind picked up, and leaves swirled around her feet as she sensed a strange but strong dark aura. She spun around in all directions, one hand clutching the Clow Key tightly.

"Who's there?!" She cried out into the empty air.

She heard chuckling and she quickly turned and saw a black figure who's face was hidden behind a white mask. "Who are you?!"

"Don't be frightened Sakura," He seemed to hiss it out. "Come to me and our powers together will be inhuman."

"What are you saying?!" Sakura demanded.

The figure walked closer to her, and Sakura stepped. "Don't come any closer! Or else!"

"Or else what?" The figure said mockingly.

"Or..or else I'll..." Sakura was about to start chanting for her wand, but the figure grabbed her hand so that she had released the key.

The figure smirked, "Don't try that on me my cherry blossom. You are powerful, just like any of that evil Clow Reed's descendants!" He spat out Clow Reed's name.

"What do you mean evil?" Sakura yanked her hand out of his grasp.

"Clow Reed...hmm, you don't need to know so much so don't try and get anything out from me!" He snapped. "All I know is that I need to cause pain!"

Sakura jumped back in fright. "You're insane!"

"Maybe I am!" He laughed and reached for Sakura and held her by the chin tightly.

Sakura squirmed helplessly in his grasp, but her eyes seemed to go look into the eyes of the masked figure. She felt herself feel like dreamy light feeling again, and she heard a faint yelling. She turned to look a bit and thought she saw Syaoran running towards her with his sword drawn, but through her dizziness she couldn't think clearly.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Syaoran demanded as he pulled Sakura out of the figure's grasp.

"You don't need to know," The figure said and vanished.

Syaoran shook Sakura gently. She was still staring blankly at the ground. "Sakura? Sakura??!"

Sakura looked up with a half smile. "Where's Kahzuni? I was suppose to meet him here for our date!" She said cheerfully and took Syaoran's hand and spun him around. "Aren't you happy for me?! I've found someone I love more than you!!"

Syaoran felt the anger rise in him, and he pulled his hand away from Sakura. "HOW CAN YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS SAKURA?! YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS TO ME?!" He shouted and ran.

After a few seconds, Sakura felt the dizziness lift and she was standing on the street that was a block away from her house. "What? What am I doing here?"

Sakura looked around her, and saw nothing unusual. "...That feeling..." She started walking towards her house. "What happened?"

A figure watched from behind a tree. He was smiling insanely.

*My plans are working accordingly. Now all of Clow Reed's descendants must SUFFER! Not just any suffering, put pain and hurt beyond their imaginations..damn that Clow Reed. I will have my revenge...*

The next day, Sakura arrived early and noticed that Mr. Punctual wasn't even here yet.

"Wow!" She exclaimed as she stuffed her books into her desk.

After ten mintues, the room started to fill up with more students and Tomoyo was the last one to come in.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan! Wow, you're sure early!" Tomoyo looked at the empty seat behind Sakura. "Where's Li-kun?"

"I have no idea! Maybe he's sick or something," Sakura guessed.

Tomoyo shrugged, "That has to be it, because he's never late!"

Sakura agreed and Mrs. Mena started the days lesson with the usual, math.

After school, Sakura and Tomoyo walked over to Syaoran's apartment to check on him.

"I hope he's ok," Sakura said worridly as she knocked.

A couple mintues later, Wei answered the door with a small smile.

"Hello Miss. Kinomoto, and Miss. Daidouji," He greeted warmly and let them in.

"Where's Syaoran?" Sakura asked immedietly.

Wei frowned, "He is not feeling well since this morning. He is in his room by the way."

Tomoyo nodded, "Thanks."

The two walked towards Syaoran's room and knocked lightly. No one answered so they turned the knob and peeked into the dark room. It seemed rather stuffy and Sakura couldn't even see.

"Shaoran?" Sakura called out softly.

"SAKURA?!"

Sakura and Tomoyo jumped back at the sudden noise.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" The lights went on, and Sakura and Tomoyo could see Syaoran sitting on his bed with slightly red eyes.

"...Shaoran...what's wrong?!" Sakura gasped at how horrible he looked.

Syaoran jumped off his bed. "OUT! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" He pointed his finger towards the door.

"But Li-kun! What's wrong?!" Tomoyo asked.

"YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG SAKURA. SO GET OUT!" He ordered with a shaky finger.

Sakura shook slightly at how mean he was being. "...I don't know what's wrong..."

"STOP TRYING TO BE INNOCENT KINOMOTO!" He glared at her which sent shivers down Tomoyo and Sakura's spine.

"LI-KUN! That's so mean!" Tomoyo said in defense for her friend. "I have no idea what you two are talking about, but at least do some explaining here!"

Syaoran dropped his hand back to his side. "There is nothing to be explained. Now out." He said in a final tone.

Sakura felt a hot tear roll down her cheek. "WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN TO ME?! I DIDN'T TO ANYTHING AND YOU'RE TREATING ME SO BADLY! AND I THOUGHT WE LOVED EACH OTHER!"

"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO DAMN IT!" Syaoran shouted. "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WENT KISSING AND DATING OTHER PEOPLE!"

"I DID NO SUCH THING!" Sakura shouted back in anger and hurt.

Syaoran's hands rolled into fists. "STOP LIEING! YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT YOU DID SUCH A THING!" He spat. "KISSING THAT RETOSHA-KUN RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE. DO YOU THINK I'M BLIND?!!!"

"BOTH OF YOU! BE QUIET!!" Tomoyo screamed.

Sakura threw her hands in the air. "I GIVE UP! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN SYAORAN LI, SO JUST DROP IT!" She ran out of the room in tears.

Tomoyo frowned, "Look what you did!"

"SO WHAT?! THAT...THAT LITTLE GIRL IS JUST A FLIRT!"

"SYAORAN LI! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT ABOUT SAKURA?!" Tomoyo screamed loudly. "YOU KNOW SAKURA'S NOT LIKE THAT!!! ARGH!" Tomoyo ran out of the room red with anger.

Syaoran unrolled his fists and fell back onto his bed. "I hate this." He muttered under his breath.

Sakura ran blindly down the dim lighted streets of Tomoeda. It was beginning to get dark, but not that dark. She turned around the corner and headed towards her house in a fast speed, since it was raining she didn't want to be soaked.

She turned another corner and winced at the blinding light that came with it. She screamed when relization hit her and she was glued to her spot. She saw a flash of silver and light and tires screeching and then everything was black.

"SAKURA!!!" Tomoyo ran to her friend who's body lay motionless on the wet pavement. She looked over at the car and gasped. There was no driver in the car. Her face paled but she quickly tended to the bleeding Sakura. "Oh Sakura..." She cheked her pulse and sighed in relief that she had a faint one. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her cellphone and called an ambulance.

She held onto her friend's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Be ok Sakura-chan..."



AN: Um, a minor cliffhanger I guess? Oh no! Will Sakura live through this car crash or this emotional crash? How could their be no driver in the car?! Well, stay tooned! Thanks and please review! Arigatou again =)
