TOTAL DISASTER BY MOMOSUKE SAKURA
CHAPTER 3: SAKURA'S MESMERIZING RIVAL
Break time…
Syaoran waits for Sakura and Tomoyo while reading a part of his book. Just then, superb curves appeared before his eyes. The powerful scent of perfume filled the air. He slowly ascended his face to see the person although he already knew who it was. He didn't notice he's already drooling. (A.N. Thank goodness Sakura isn't there) "Oh…um…h-hi…Ishiyama-kun…" he greeted, slurping. The girl made a mischievous grin. "What are you doing here all alone, Mr. Li?" she said, squeezing her nose. "*Giggles* Um…I am *Giggles* waiting for somebody…p-please stop that…*giggles*" Syaoran answered, enjoying her games. Suddenly, he stopped laughing when he heard footsteps. He turned around to see who it was. It's Tomoyo, with a grimace on her face. She must've seen us… Syaoran thought. Sakura came after her, puffed because of the pile of books she's carrying. Syaoran shoved the girl forcefully, which made her plunge on the ground. "Sakura…I'll help you carry those books," he said. The girl frowned and planned to get revenge. She focused her eyes on Syaoran and… "Syaoran-kun!! Daijoubu ka (You okay)?!" Sakura asked, throwing all the books she's carrying. Syaoran nodded stiffly. "I just… tripped…" Syaoran stuttered, trying to get up. "Let me help you," Sakura said, offering a hand. At the moment, Tomoyo is studying what she saw a while ago. She doesn't want to judge Syaoran injudiciously.

School Clinic…
The doctor bandaged the big wound on Syaoran's leg and he can hardly walk. Tomoyo came to help him get up. "Where's Sakura?" he asked. Tomoyo frowned and let go of his arm. He dropped on the floor causing him so much pain. "You're asking where Sakura-chan is when all the while…when we haven't arrived, you're so overjoyed playing games with that red-haired!" she exclaimed, making the head nurse leave. "Demo Daidouji…you don't understand! You don't know what happened!" Syaoran replied, trying his best to sit on the bed. "I don't understand?! Ha! I know exactly what you're doing with that bullshit!" Tomoyo retorted. Syaoran stopped. It's the first time he heard Tomoyo curse. Tomoyo felt dizzy. She forgot to control her mouth. Syaoran felt loss for words. He can't lie to Tomoyo. She loves Sakura so much and she won't allow him to cheat at her. It's very true that he enjoyed flirting with Ai a while ago. He can't deny it to Tomoyo even to himself. He had slightly cheated on Sakura. It may be considered a minor offense. "I'm sorry Tomoyo. Don't worry. It won't happen again…I swear over my dead body. Can you just keep this as a secret?" Syaoran pleaded. Tomoyo's eyebrows snapped together and she shook her head. "I'm sorry too, Li-kun but I absolutely can't cheat on Sakura too. I won't let myself be a part of your lies!" Tomoyo murmured her hands rested on her hips. Syaoran knelt in front of her his hands intertwined. "Please…Daidouji-san…I'm begging you…for the sake of my relationship with Sakura! Onegai…one…gai," he begged. Tomoyo frowned even more. If she told Sakura what she saw, the Sakura and Syaoran relationship will come to an end and if this happened, Sakura will be living her life miserably and she doesn't want that. "Okay…fine. But if this happened again…don't insist on me to save you again Li Syaoran," she threatened. Then, she left him and slammed the door. Syaoran sighed with relief.

Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo came back to the hotel after an exhausting school day. They all feel so tired and hungry. Sakura's stomach is making a noisy mumbling sound. She plunged herself down the soft bed. It felt so good lying there. Suddenly, she sniffed the scrumptious smell of roasted chicken that made her jump. It's coming exactly to their room. Soon, Sakura and Tomoyo had eaten an emperor's meal. "Ho humm…I'm stuffed!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Yeah. The food is great," Sakura assented, licking the remaining slimy margarine on her lips. "I think it's time to fix things," said Sakura, pulling her suitcase on her side. Opening it, she gasped. "HOEE!!! KERUBEROS!!!!!!!! Doshite…why are you here?" she screamed. Kero bit his lip. "Ano…DO YOU THINK I'D ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE ME THERE? WITH NO PACKED BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER?!" he retorted. Sakura gritted her teeth.
"You're always thinking of food, food, food! Don't you realize, you're giving me problems, Kero-chan?!"
"Don't lose your cool, Sakura! I'm not giving you any problems, I swear!"
"Oh…I need water…! Kero…"
"Not another word, Sakura! I'm not going back to Tomoeda and I'm staying with you!"
"Don't get me onto any mess!"
"Okay, okay! You're so rash. You forgot to bring your CARDS!"
"Why not? I don't need them anyway!"
"You sure?"
"Certainly. Now, you're already here, you might as well remain with us but…no fights. Syaoran-kun is here and he's the owner of this hotel!"
Kero eyed her in doubt. "Really? He owns this brilliant place?" he asked. "Yes, Kero-chan. His family owns this hotel," Tomoyo answered. "Now, we'll be finding a bedroom for ya." Sakura spotted an elegant closet. "You'll be sleeping there, Kero-chan," she ordered, pointing at it. "Okay. No prob," he muttered then flew over there.

Meanwhile…
Ai stirred because of the noisy sound she's hearing. She sat up in bed and drowsily looked around the room. Then, she saw the book at the bottom of the bed flickering intensely. She grabbed it and uneasily opened it. "OWWWWW!" she shrieked. Her eyes are hurt. An unclear figure appeared right before her eyes and she knew who it was. "M-master Shuzo!" she exclaimed, feeling jumpy. She removed her hands on her eyes to see if it really is him. The figure became clear enough which made her jump. "Wh-what are you doing here?" she asked, walking nearer to him. He seemed angry. "I'm the one who must ask you that, Kyoko," he gave back her question. "M-master…what do you mean?" she queried. "You've changed a lot, Kyoko, concealing your real identity," Shuzo remarked, smirking. Ai frowned. "What do you want me to do? Reveal my true self?!" she growled. "You're not doing your work. Remember…there's no time for merriment. You came here to get the Clow Cards. You're never intended to have fun," the creature explained.
Ai became offended. Now, he's demanding for faster accomplishment of her mission. "But I am doing my work!" was all she said. "You're not! I know you're planning something which is not even associated with Teikoku!!" Shuzo protested. Ai's eyes are widening. What is she going to say? "I'm trying my best to steal the cards, Master," she murmured. Shuzo eyed her in disbelief. He knows she's lying at the way her eyes flicker. "I know you want to possess this Li. But…it's not that easy to break the two of them. It's not easy to get what you want. I know you know what I mean, Kyoko," he told her, smirking. Ai frowned even more. "Master…you're wrong…" "I'm not…" Ai has had enough. She really wanted to end this nonsense after all. "All I can say is…please…trust me. I will accomplish my job in time," Ai reassured him. "You better be sure about that, Kyoko," he said. "Or else, you're the one who'll suffer the consequences." Ai crossed his arms and shot an eye on him. "Is that a threat, master?" she asked, crossly. "Yes," Shuzo replied. "It is." Ai stepped backward. He's frightening her but she's certain that he'll carry it out. Shuzo ended their conversation with a sarcastic laugh then he vanished into thin air. Ai made a sigh of relief. She collapsed on the floor, feeling more terrified than ever. She thought, Wrong again, Master Shuzo. What Kyoko wants…Kyoko gets

At the moment…
"Wh-where am I?" Sakura asked to herself. She realized she's lies on a lake, pillowed by a big rock. She stood up and noticed that she's completely drenched. How did I get here? A while ago I was in our room…why am I here? she thought. She walked barefooted on the misty swamp, and she can barely see because of the thick fog. Nevertheless she continued to walk. After a few minutes of walking and exploring the place, Sakura saw Syaoran lying on the grasses. Her face brightened and she decided to go to him. "SYAORAN-KUN!" she shouted, running on the flowing waters. Just then, she stopped running when she saw a beautiful girl approaching him. Static, she waited for what she will do. Syaoran stood up then welcomed the girl in his arms. "Oh, Syaoran. I've been searching for you everywhere," the girl said throwing her body on his strong chest. Syaoran held her tighter in his arms. "That's what I like. You, chasing me," he whispered in her ears. Sakura felt her stomach turn at such disgusting sight. The girl is giggling and giving him lots of kisses in his cheeks and neck. Soon, the girl tipped her face toward his. Syaoran brought his face to her and then they're kissing very passionately. Syaoran is enjoying it, pulling her head tighter on to his. The girl deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue in Syaoran's mouth, intertwining it with his tongue.
Sakura stepped backward, staring at them in disgust. Hot tears welled up her eyes hysterically. She brushed them rapidly and continued to look at the scene. Syaoran loves kissing her. He loves her. Somebody told her that she should not just stand there. She must do something. Angrily, she went to them. Syaoran and the girl stopped kissing and turned to look at the person who came. Sakura stared at Syaoran with very angry eyes and disgust in her face. But Syaoran's not even moved. He simply smiled at her and said this, "Sakura. Hi. How did you get here? Don't you know this is our own private paradise?" Sakura covered her mouth with her hands to prevent moans to come out. "How dare you do this to me, Syaoran!" she shouted desperately. Syaoran just smirked. The girl sarcastically looked at her. "Why…look at such face…wow…that's some kinda…work of art! No wonder Syaoran chose me over you…Sakura?" she ridiculed, stroking her scar. Sakura slapped her. "You don't have the right to speak to me like that!!! You…moron!!!!" she exclaimed, the first time to speak bad words. She seemed so gentle before. The girl just laughed and laughed. Shortly, Syaoran joined her. Now, they're both boisterously laughing at her. Sakura can't do anything but cry. She ran and ran but it seems wherever she go, their unruly laughs are following her. She covered her ears but it didn't budge. "STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"SAKURA-CHAN! Sakura-chan, wake up! You're dreaming!! Sakura-chan!!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed, shaking the desperately shouting Sakura. Sakura sat up in bed, panting. Tomoyo gave her a glass of water. "Here. Drink this. You had a nightmare haven't you?" she said, stroking her back. "*Wheeze* It seems so true…Tomoyo-chan…I'm…scared…" she stuttered, taking a tight grip on the quilt. "What have you dreamt, Sakura-chan?" inquired Tomoyo putting the glass on top of the cabinet. "D-don't ask…it's extremely terrible," she answered. "I just want to sleep back…" Kero flew out of his little bedroom. "Hey! *Yawn* what's the entire hubbub about?" he asked, rubbing his little eyes. Tomoyo sweetly smiled at him. "Nan demo nai (nothing). Sakura-chan had a nightmare, that's all."

The next sunny morning…
Syaoran looked at himself for the last time in the mirror and now he's ready to go. He went to the hotel's exclusive room to see if Sakura and Tomoyo are ready too. Clearing his throat, he knocked loudly on the door. "Sakura…Tomoyo…it's time to go to school. Are you ready?" he asked. Tomoyo stared at Sakura. She looks sick. "Sakura-chan…you don't have to go to school if you can't," she reminded her. Getting her bag, Sakura smiled. "Don't worry. I'm okay, Tomoyo…" she dropped on the floor. "I told you! Stay here and rest!" Tomoyo insisted. Sakura shook her head. "This is just a little infirmity. I can't sacrifice a day of school just for this. Now, let's go," she persisted, opening the door. Syaoran's smiling face welcomed her. She felt her heart drop when she saw him. Remembering her dream, she became more jealous. Sakura walked passed him, not even greeting him. Syaoran frowned at what she did. "Li-kun…let's go?" Tomoyo asked, looking at him in confusion. "Alright."

University…
Syaoran ran towards Sakura, taking a grip on her thin shoulders. "What?!" Sakura asked feeling irritated. "Sakura, you've been quiet lately and you've been rejecting me! What's the problem?" he replied, loosening his hold on her shoulders. Sakura looked at him with saddest eyes. "You've been cheating on me!!!" she exclaimed then pushed him hardly on the wall. She walked the other way. Syaoran ran after her again. "Look, what did Tomoyo tell you?" Syaoran asked again. Sakura stared at him in confusion. "Matte (wait)! What will Tomoyo tell me?" she responded then continued walking.
"Look, Sakura. I'm not cheating on you!"
Sakura stopped walking.
"B-But…"
"Sakura…whoever gave you that stupid idea?"
"N-none! It's just…"
"Don't you trust me?"
"Of course…I do trust you however…"
"Sakura…you've been charging me of something I didn't do!" (A.N. Syaoran liar! You've cheated on her…well slightly)
Sakura forgot that it's just a stupid nightmare. Now, she's fighting with Syaoran. "Gomen nasai. I've did it again," she mumbled. Syaoran hugged her warmly. "I'm not cheating on you and I'll never ever do that," he said. Meanwhile, somebody's watching inconspicuously. Syaoran ended their conversation with a kiss on her forehead. "See you later," Sakura said, waving a hand while Syaoran's heading toward his class.

Office of the Principal…
"Ohayo. Why did you summoned me, ma'am?" Ai asked impatiently. The principal took of her glasses and gave her some of her test papers. "Ms. Ishiyama, I'm wondering…why are your grades…this low? Aren't you studying? In the mid exam, you failed 7 out of 10 tests! What's wrong?" the principal explained. Ai looked at all her papers one by one. She can hardly understand it. "Sorry ma'am but…I'm not as clever as you think I am," she sarcastically said. The principal widened her eyes in shock. She never met someone as rude as her. The principal breathed deeply to calm herself and never mind how she acted. "Now, you must be able to pass all the exams next month or else, you're out of this university for good," the principal told him. Ai stood up in shock. "Nandato (What)?!!"
"Look, Ms. Ishiyama, you can still cope up. Now, if you want, you can have a private tutor but she must be a student of this university. And…you are free to choose whom she/ he will be. But be sure that person can help you," the principal said. "I'll be the one to choose?" Ai repeated. Not bad after all The principal nodded in reply. Ai smirked. She knows exactly who HE will be.
***
"Yes, Ma'am? Somebody said I'm wanted by you," Syaoran asked. The principal smiled at him. "Miss Ishiyama chose you to be her private tutor," she replied. Syaoran's mouth dropped. "What? Why me?" he queried, feeling uneasy. The principal shrugged. "She needs a private tutor because her grades are extremely low and she needs to cope up with the next month's test. If not, she'll be out of this university." Syaoran clenched his fist. Now what will Tomoyo and…Sakura think? he asked himself. Why am I caught up in this mess? "Mr. Li?" "Ma'am! Sorry I'm not paying attention," he jumped. "H-how long will I be her private tutor?" stammered Syaoran coming straight to the point. "Two months and you'll tutor her MWF (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), after dismissal," the principal replied. "Now, any questions finally…?" "N-none…ma'am…"

Sakura is impatiently tapping her foot, waiting for Syaoran. "Sakura…wherever is your boy friend?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura shook her head as an answer. She feels dizzy now and she needs rest. "What if, let's see if he's still there in his classroom," Tomoyo suggested, tagging Sakura. "Okay, alright!" Actually, there's no need to go there, he's already approaching and he's with a girl. Sakura stared at him in confusion. "Um…Sakura…I think I can't join you. I'm the private tutor of Ishiyama and we'll be staying at her house," Syaoran stammered, afraid of how Sakura will react. "Li, why are you the private tutor of this girl?" Tomoyo asked, pointing at Ai's face. Ai didn't do anything but snap an eyebrow on her and smirk. "It's a long story…b-bye!" Syaoran said, being pulled by Ai. Tomoyo wants to clobber both of them. But Sakura can't say anything…she's speechless. Thinking, That red-haired looks familiar…
