{A/N: Etaaai. I should be updating this more often ^_^U Gomen ne, please
review and make Yumi "yappi". ^.^
"I, I," for a moment, he faltered, then, in a stronger voice, "I am
ratherfondofMeiling." He said the last part in a bit of a rush. Syaoran jumped
and furiously stalked over to him. "I will have to ask you to stay away from
my cousin," He said between clenched teeth. Perfect. Just when I thought
that things couldn't get any worse. We're probably going to brawl. Eriol
thought. "Syaoran-!" Sakura cried, shocked that he had eavesdropped on
their private conversation. Syaoran waved his hand in annoyance. "I have no
bad intentions for my lovely little descendant," Eriol quietly said. "Like hell
you don't!" Syaoran snapped. Sakura and Tomoyo watched with eyes as
round as a pair of moons. "I told you that I didn't. What more proof do you
want?" Eriol asked. Ignoring that, Syaoran demanded, "Meet me behind the
bell tower after school!" Sighing, Eriol answered, "If you insist."
The rest of the day passed in a red blur for Syaoran. He vaguely had
memories of Sakura's pleading with him to not fight Eriol, Tomoyo telling
him how much it bothered Sakura, Meiling concerned about his stormy set
face, and seeing Eriol's enigmatic face pass, in a hallway, at lunch, and
everywhere. He leaned against the bell tower, his fist clenched in anger. He
heard footsteps approaching and straightened. It was Sakura, followed by
Eriol and Tomoyo. "Syaoran, please, please, don't fight Eriol!" Sakura
pleaded, holding his arm. Syaoran looked down at her mournful face and
said in a quiet voice, "I am sorry, Sakura, but this is something that I must
do." Then, hating himself for having to do it, he gently pried her fingers
from his arm.
Eriol and Syaoran circled each other, appraising each other. Finally, Syaoran
whipped his sword out. Eriol, sighing again, brought out a shield and lance.
It was impossible for the girls to tell who had struck at the other first and the
two merged into an angry blur. Dust was flying up so Sakura used the
SHIELD to protect herself and Tomoyo from the flying debris. Syaoran
lashed again and again, not to seriously hurt though. Eriol, meanwhile put
any defensive skills to trait and spun his shield around and around blocking
every shot. Syaoran growled, sounding more and more like a little wolf.
Then, Syaoran jumped high up, preparing a fire attack to bring a quick finale
to the battle. However, Eriol rubbed his temple and called, "Crude Lightning
bolt!" A small lighting bolt hit Syaoran and he fell from the sky,
unconscious. Eriol lifted his hands and caught Syaoran in mid-air. Funny
how his heart was suddenly beating so erratically. He turned around and saw
Meiling running towards him. No wonder why his heart was beating so, he
thought to himself. Meiling shrieked when she saw Syaoran's limp body.
"Xiaolang, Xiaolang!" she cried, tears spilling from her eyes. Sakura and
Tomoyo were at her side in a second, comforting her while pelting Eriol
with questions. "Is Syaoran all right?" Sakura asked sharply. "He'll be fine.
He's a tough one, Syaoran is," Eriol answered. Rubbing his temple again, he
declared, "Since I am the one who knocked him out, I will tend to him over
the night." Sakura and Meiling interrupted at once. "But, but, I could do
that-!" "We live in the same apartment anyway-!" Exactly, Eriol thought to
himself, what a pleasure it will be to think that I am sleeping in the same
apartment as you. "I simply cannot accept no as an answer. Meiling, will
you please lead me to your apartment?" Eriol asked. Meiling frowned, but
nodded and Sakura pouted. She would have liked to care for Syaoran; after
all, he was always doing good things for her.
