Fruity: No I want to finish as much as I can before school starts
Suppi: You never learn
Chapter nine
The truth is somewhere out there
"What that's so great," Tomoyo squeled gittily like a school girl, receiving her first barbie. Sakura ducked her head, in embarassment, sometimes, her best friend overreacted a bit too much.
"I still can't believe your actually come to the same University as me." Continued Tomoyo.
"Yeah , I am still amazed that Kitasato University accepted my application." Sakura came almost close to pinching herself, to awake to find this all a dream.
"Oh I can see it right now," tomoyo clasped her hands together, while her eyes glittered , as she devised a plan. " a new documentary on Sakura's University life, ohhhhhh I can see a perfect outfit, it would look so kawaii on you."
"Ah ha," Sakura laughed uneasily, catching Tomoyo by surprise
"you don't want me to film you?" Tomoyo voice sounded hurt
"It's not that Tomoyo. It's just that… my face," Tomoyo shrugged, as seeing she had already gotten used to Sakura's scar.
"What about it?"
"It's just that," Sakura continued by she was interupted again by Tomoyo
"Look here Sakura," Tomoyo pointed sternly at her, "I am filming you whether you like it or not, cappech,"
Sakura rolled her eyes , there was no point to say no, Tomoyo had set her foot down and not even a flood could change her mind.
"Hmmmmmmm," Tomoyo had her hand at her chin as she continued to think "what shall she wear,"
"Master Shoaran," Wei accompanied Shoaran to the airport. He was preparing to leave for Japan once again. Shoaran turned to see his old friend, he smiled one of his rare smiles
"Don't worry about me Wei, I am not ten years old anymore," Wei shook his head in understaning,
"Have a wonderful trip, Master. Be sure to work extra hard this trimseter."
Shoaran nodded his head , eyes filled with determination, "Don't worry Wei I won't let you down."
The old man smiled, but like before, the pain in his chest striked once more.
"Ahhhhhhhhh," Wei clunched his chest as he gasped for air. Shoaran reached out to give support for the old man.
"Wei are you alright?" Wei just waved him off
"Sure . I am fine Master, you go and get all 100's for your family," he ordered. Shoaran nodded his head, his eyes filled with worry, "Yeah sure. Wei do me a favor and please see the doctor."
"Very well. I will," Wei hated it when people fused about him, but he kept a mental note to do as his master wished.
Shoaran beamed, proud, "Well I guess this is good bye."
Wei gave him a fatherly pat on the back, "Best wishes master,"
And with that Shoaran, departed, completely unaware of the surprise that awaited him.
Meanwhile Tomoyo, and Eriol, waited for the next train that would bring them to Kitasato, Tomoyo excitedly hugged Eriol's arm. Eriol couldn't help, but look amused , at this
"Tomoyo is just the first day of Unviersity, It's no big deal."
"I know ,but this is the first time I am not going to see Sakura there with me." Eriol cupped her face with one hand
"Don't worry my love, I'll be there with you,"
Tomoyo gazed dreamly at her boyfriend, glowing from so much love for him.
"Oh Eriol-kun," she sighed
"Besides you now that Sakura won't came until a few weeks after the trimester," he continued
Tomoyo gazed hopefully at the clear baby blue sky, "Yes, I know. But I can't help but wish that her damn injuries would heal faster."
Eriol chuckled, yet soon stopped, when the train finally arrived.
Shoaran, was busily looking at his map, trying to locate where he was. He had no damn idea , that this universit would be so darn huge. Suddenly, he was spotted, by the least likely people, he'd ever see , Tomoyo and Eriol.
Eriol and Tomoyo were bustiling about what to do next, and where each of their classes were. Butterflies , were all over her stomach, causing Tomoyo to feel sick,
"Eriol-kun, I have to sit down, I am feeling sick,"
"Okay hon." Eriol and Tomoyo, turned the corner, to receive the largest surprise of their entire life. There standing beside the bench, a chestnut haired young man stood.
"Shoaran," Tomoyo hissed.
The young man turned, and backed away, in bewilderment.
"Tomoyo? Eriol?" he was met by the angry eyes of Tomoyo, and mysterious eyes of Eriol.
"Ahem," he turned to leave, but was urgently stopped by Tomoyo
"Ahem! Is that all you can say after you hurt Sakura?" Tomoyo's words spelt haterd all over.
Shoaran turned, revealing the sparkling ring on his wedding finger.
"That was two years ago Tomoyo," he replied cooly
"Yeah, and do you think that two years can just erase what you did?" Shoaran sighed in surrender.
"I have to go to class," and with that he excused himself
Eriol, was holding back Tomoyo, who looked like she was going to beat the crap out of Shoaran, "That's it you go now, runaway like you always do? You BAKA! ASSHOLE! COWARD!"
Shoaran, ignored what Tomoyo was saying and continued to stride to his class. However, he couldn't help but think what Tomoyo sayed
Do you think that two years can just erase what you did?
Those words echoed in his mind, and wouldn't leave.
After several classes, Tomoyo departed to the library, with nothing better to do, since Eriol had entirely different classes, but that didn't stop him from excusing himself and greeting Tomoyo through the door of her class. Skimming up and down, the shelves Tomoyo, searched for a book on fashion.
"Here's what you're looking for?" A deep masculine voice asked her with a crazy design book in his hands.
Tomoyo humbly accepted the book, "Why thank-you"
She looked up to see Shoaran, and surely enough her smile diminished to frown. Automatically to spun on her heels , and walked the opposite direction.
"Tomoyo wait," Shoaran followed her. Tomoyo looked back to see Shoaran.
"What?" she asked
"Look could we talk?"
"Why?"
"Look, Tomoyo it shouldn't be you who has to be mad with me, its should be Sakura,"
Tomoyo sneered, "Well, Shoaran , if you think that this is angry, you haven't seen Sakura,"
"Tomoyo.I.."
"And one more thing Shoaran, nice wedding pictures, I personally didn't like the bitches, opps I me bride's dress, it was far too overdowning it for my liking,"
"You got the pictures, how?"
"You should be thankful that I got them and not Sakura. In a way I saved your ass, but thrust me I am not going to do it again. And the matter how I got them. Well let me say that I have frineds in highplaces. They monitered every letter , Sakura got, to make sure that she wouldn't receive anything from you."
Shoaran bit his lip
"When I got the letter from you, I thought you would at least send an apoligy letter, not a bunch of pictures of your wedding." Tomoyo looked disgusted "There's just one thing that puzzles me Shoaran, you didn't look very happy to be getting married. Why ?"
"What? I was happy," Tomoyo didn't look very convinced
Shoaran knew that he would have to tell her everything,
"Tomoyo sit down, this is going to be a very long talk."
Tomoyo arrived to her dorm, tired and exhausted, strick school classes had worn her out, but not as much as the chat with Shoaran, carefully she remember his words.
I had to marry someone else , cause the council was going to kill Sakura , if I didn't.
My supposed bride, disappeared after the wedding, she was a fake, so in reality I am not married. The ring is just for show.
Tomoyo banged her head on door, feeling torn apart. If she befriend Shoaran, she would be betraying Sakura, and if she isolated Shoaran, she would seem cruel.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I HATE THIS!" She screamed
Just then the phone rang.
"Hello," Tomoyo sighed
"Hey Tomoyo how are you?"
Tomoyo's violet eye's widened "Sakura? Why are you calling,"
"Can't I ask my best friend how her first day at University was?" Sakura sounded hurt.
"Oh it was great, but exhausting,"
"Do they give a tonne of homework?"
"Oh yes lots, and lots,"
"Hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Tomoyo giggled at Sakura's reaction, when she remembered something, "Sakura are you going to bring the mask that Eriol gave you?"
Sakura didn't answer for a minute, causing Tomoyo to worry.
"Sakura?"
"Yes I am still here."
Tomoyo took a breath of relief
"I think that I am most likely going to bring the mask," Tomoyo sighed disappointed, her poor friend , she was so ashamed of her face.
"Oh! Sakura I have to go, I remember that I have a meeting with Eriol,"
"Ohhhhhhhhh A date? Huh!" Tomoyo blushed
"Y..Yeah"
"Then don't let me stop you, go have a wonderful date," Sakura giggled and hung up.
Tomoyo found Eriol sitting on the same bench that they were sitting on eariler. She greeted him with a smile, as Eriol did the same. Sitting beside him she held his hand, and laid her head on his shoulder.
" I am worried about Sakura. How will Shoaran take it when he sees her?"
"Your now longer mad at Shoaran?"
"No!" Eriol nodded his head, since he too knew the truth about the break-up
"It's sad I know , Tomoyo." He replied as he heard her begin to sniffle.
"How are we going to help Sakura?"
Eriol smiled , "Hey I have an idea."
Suppi: OMG So Sakura is going to go to the same University as Shoaran
Fruity: Yep
Suppi: Your so evil, you ended it with a .. a cliffhanger
Fruity: Not this complaint again
Suppi: EVIL! EVIL! EVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL!
