Dismissal...
"Li Syaoran!"called Himitsu.
The boy whirled around,utterly shocked."What do you want?"
"P-Please tell Ms.Meiling that I'm sorry about what happened in PE class.I-I..I didn't mean for it to happen."he said,not looking at Li's eyes.
The boy nodded.
Himitsu struggled to walk home.Upon arrival,he sat down the floor to treat his sprain.In seconds,with his magic,the pain was gone.
"Too bad I can't say the same for me and Ms.Meiling."he mumbled.
He took his clothes off and showered,yet he still couldn't erase from his mind the ruby-eyed Chinese Aphrodite whom he couldn't stop thinking of since the first day they met.
"Ms.Meiling..
He leaned his head on the bathroom wall.The mere thought of her makes him warm all over.His heartbeat traced.
What is this feeling-"
Then he remembered the fact that Meiling was Li's cousin.Himitsu shook his head."No,I must not think of her.I didn't come here for Ms.Meiling.I came here to kill Li Syaoran."
He absent-mindedly touched his lips and once again remembered the softness of her lips.He felt like he kissed the delicate petals of roses.
He rubbed his face with his hands."God,Ms.Meilng!What did you do to me?"
The next day..
"Does my hair look alright?"Himitsu asked himself for the nth time.
He then sprayed an expensive perfume that Eriol recommended to him over the phone to him.He sneezed."I'm not used to this stuff,but to impress her,I'm willing to go through anything."
He brushed his teeth for the fourth time,gargled for the third time,and flossed before going out of his house dressed in a neatly-ironed uniform and sparkling leather shoes.
Along the way,he brought flowers of several variety from the Flower shop.He then brought some expensive heart-shaped chocolates.According to Yamazaki,you must give the girl you like these offerings to woo her.
"Girls are very easy to please with the most simple things in life."Yamazaki told him before dismissal yesterday when he asked the boy some advice on courting girls.Chiharu Mihara quickly disagreed.
"You must be sincere to that girl first and foremost.You can't buy sincerity,you know."She frowned curiously."Who's that girl anyway?"
He gave no reply.The blush did the talking for him.
Himitsu arrived in school.He went to the classroom and peeked.No one was inside.
He sighed.He woke up extra early just to get here befpore anyone else.He didn't know if he had the courage to give his gifts to Meiling with so many people around.
Come to think of it,he never got any sleep because he was thinking of her!
He slowly put the flowers down on his seatmate's desk..cautiously..gently..
Suddenly,a hand tapped him."Hey!"
"Aaaah!"He automatically hid the flowers behind him.
Li Meiling was looking at him suspiciously."What the heck are you doing in the school this early,Himitsu Ikaru?"
Beads of sweat dropped down his face."U-uh..."
"What are you hiding behind you?"
"N-Nothing interesting."He managed to choke out.
"Flowers."She said matter-of-factly.She sat down her place."Now tell me,why will you give flowers to me,hmm?"
His hands suddenly turned wet and clammy."U-Uh.."
Syaoran and Sakura were heading to the classroom when they heard voices talking inside the classroom.Automaticaslly,the girl inched towards the boy."W-What's that?"
He fought the urge to inch away.He couldn't stand her nearness.HE_COULDN'T."I-I'll check it out."He peeked in the window.
Sakura followed him."Ghosts?"
He didn't reply.He could see Himitsu and his cousin talking.
"Funny,but the ghosts kinda look familiar."murmured Sakura.
Li rolled his eyes."Baka!They're Himitsu and Meiling!"
Chiharu,Yamazaki and their classmates hurried to them."What's going on?Why aren't you inside the room?"
"Ssh!"sakura pointed to the people inside.
Chiharu peeked inside."W-What?"
They watched as a very red Himitsu twisted and turned as if groping for words."Because..because..because you..were the first person to treat me like a normal human..You.."He choked.
"Continue."Meiling prompted.
"You are very kind.You're not superficial..you are you."he continued.
"And.."she said.
"I can't stop thinking of you.Every night,every day..especially after that kiss.."
The crowd outside gasped.
"Ooh!"Chiharu and Yamazaki said in unison.
Meiling blushed."W-What about it?"
Outside,Tomoyo arrived."Hey guys!"Her forehead creased."Is there a shooting inside or something?Why are you all crowded outside the door?"
"Ssh!"Everyone hushed and pointed to the door.She curiously peeked in and stepped back,sighing."Guys,you know it's wrong to eavesdrop on a private conversation."
"We're not eavesdropping!"Yamazaki said indignantly."We're..uh..doing some audio excercises."
Tomoyo sighed.
"Quiet,everyone!They'll hear us!"said Naoko Yanagisawa.She turned her attention back to what was happening inside.
"M-Ms.Meiling,the truth is..Yamazaki told me to give you these gifts.."
"WHAT?!"Meiling and Chiharu exclaimed at the same time.
Himitsu's eyes widened."No,Ms.Meiling!I mean,Yamazaki made me do this because it will show you how much I-"
His explanations was interrupted by the sudden crashing of the door.Everyone but Tomoyo fell down the ground,with Chiharu strangling Yamazaki at the bottom of the crowd."So you like Meiling huh?You dense airhead!You insensitive jerk!You..you idiot!I've been here by your side since we were kids but you never took interest on me!Tell me,what does she have that I don't,huh,HUH?"
"Eep,let me go!"begged the poor boy.
The rest of the class on the other hand were looking at Himitsu and Meiling teasingly."Confess!Confess!"they cheered.
Li watched Himitsu quietly.
Himitsu looked down at the ground.He could feel his insides melt in embarassment.
"No,I must say this to Ms.Meiling!It's now or never!"he thought.He suddenly carried Meiling in his arms and leaped out of the window,to everyone's shock.
Li hurried to the window."Where are you taking her?"
"I'm just going to borrow her!"he shouted back.
Minutes later...
"Let's talk here."Himitsu put her down gently.
Meiling opened her eyes."You're wearing London Boy's perfume."she stated confidently.
He looked away,embarassed."I sort of asked his advice about courting girls."
"Lovely."Meiling looked at him."So what are we going to talk about?"
"Uh..I like you?"he mumbled.
Her eyebrow raised."What?"
"I like you."he repeated.
She nodded,then froze."WHAT?!"
Himitsu felt like jumping off the roof they were standing at,but he shouted."I LIKE YOU,MS.MEILING!!!"
Heads turned to their direction.
He kneeled in front of her humbly."Hate me if you want,but the important thing is,I've told you what I feel."
Meiling peered at his face,studying his eyes."You're telling the truth."She sat down."Sit down."
"B-But why?"
"I said sit down!"
"Yes,Ms.MEiling."he said meekly.
"How sure are you about your feelings?"
"Very sure."
She looked at him for what seemed like eternity before she kissed him on the cheek."Thank you for feelings.I like you too."
Himitsu's face brightened and his heart soared.His chinese aphrodite likes him too!He embraced her,enjoying her warmth radiating to his heart.
