I really hope the reviews will go near 200. hrm.. if it doesn't go to 200 reviews. then im stopping at chapter 13! Lol jk jk jk.. Ok on with da story!
"Syaoran, where did you meet this rude and obnoxious girl?"
"Mother! She's not rude and she's NOT obnoxious!"
"I don't want you to hang around her anymore, and I want her out of this house now!" Yelan was getting angry. No one, no one had ever talked back to her like that, let alone her own son. Without saying anything, Sakura ran to the door they just got in, and disappeared out of sight.
"Sakura! Where are you going?" Syaoran called after her, obviously worried. 'Godamn, why does my Mother have to ruin EVERYTHING?' Yelan was still boiling with rage as she saw the concern Syaoran has for Sakura. Yelan had never remember Syaoran act like that for any other girls other than his sisters.
"Syaoran, I want you to know that I'm very disapp-." Yelan didn't get to finish. "Syaoran Li, where do you think your going?!" She called angrily. "Steven," She barked, at he immediately nodded.
"Yes, I'll go check out on who she is," Steven bowed, and went outside also.
"I can't believe someone whose like that, that's totally like Syaoran!" Sakura mumbled to herself as she ran away from his house, as far away as possible. But then it just struck her that Yelan was Syaoran's mother, of course she's like Syaoran! She mentally slapped herself in the head.
"God Sakura, where ARE you?" Syaoran murmured, too busy looking for Sakura to even notice on where he was going. "SAKURA!"
'I have to get away from him, I was so rude to his mom! How can I face him?' thought Sakura.
"SAKURA!" Sakura's reply to that was only walking faster. But Sakura could never run away from Syaoran. She felt herself being tugged back at the elbow and turned towards Syaoran.
"Let me go!" She struggled, but it was no use. Syaoran was simply too strong. He wouldn't let her go again, no.. not again.
"Sakura! Listen will you? Look I'm really sorry about my mom." His voice was serious. Sakura stopped struggling. Did she hear right? Syaoran apologizing to her. And it wasn't even his fault.
"Syaoran," Sakura began, her head down, " I should be the one whose sorry," Sakura sighed. "I shouldn't have talked to your mother like that, it was very rude of me. But I just couldn't help-.." She was interrupted by an embrace as she felt Syaoran's arms around her. "Syaoran.?"
"Sakura, I love you, really I do," He hugged her tighter.
"Syaoran, your choking me!" It was then that he let go. "I got to go home now, I'm sorry about the whole dinner thing." Sakura said.
"We'll have a dinner some other time I guess. When my so called mother flies back to New York." Sakura managed a chuckled.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school then," Sakura smiled, and turned to walk home. Syaoran watched until her figure was gone until he turned back to go home.
"So, do you have the information I wanted?" Yelan asked, although it sounded more like an order. Steven quickly brought it up to her desk.
"Yes, here it is. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto, a normal 16 year old girl who lived in a small house with her dad and brother. Her father was once a high school teacher, but because there were too many teachers in that school, he lost his job. Touya is her older brother, but he switches jobs every week to maintain the family. (ugh, does that even make sense? Hope so! ^^) So financially speaking, they're in a pretty bad state right now," Steven reported. Yelan frowned. 'Where in the world did Syaoran meet her?'
"So how did they meet each other?" Her voice was demanding but there was a hint of curiosity in it. A girl had actually gotten Syaoran to fall in love, it was a miracle alright.
"Sakura goes to the same school as Mr. Syaoran Li. They were doing pranks on each other and that's about how they met. And from what I've heard, Syaoran started to talk to Sakura a lot more." Steven said. This did not look good. It wasn't the girl that's hanging onto her son, it was her son that's liking someone. And Yelan Li doesn't like that.
"Did you find out where she lives?"
"Hai, do you want to go and visit?" Steven bowed once again. Yelan gave an approving nod, and walked out of the study to go shower and get some rest.
Meanwhile, Syaoran was in his room. He never saw his mother again when he went home, he just trudged upstairs, and heard from Mark that his mother was in the study doing work. 'Even when she comes back, she just works. She doesn't have the time to come in here and just talk. Why the hell did she come back then?' Syaoran drifted off to a deep sleep before he could think of anything else.
The next morning, Syaoran woke up early. He quickly got dressed and went downstairs, only to find that maids and servants were cleaning up the table, and his set of food were still on the table.
"Mark! Where's mother?" He asked, his voice the least joyful.
"I'm not sure, Mr. Syoaran Li. She got up really early today and she left with Steven to go somewhere." Syaoran grumbled. She was probably off to work or something. 'So she doesn't even want to spend time eating breakfast with me, how humiliating. And she's my mother.'
The next morning, Sakura somehow had managed to get up early. 'Wow, I got up early today, without the help of the alarm clock!' She reached for her brush and began brushing at some odds and loose strands of hair that was all messed up. All of a sudden, the door bell rang. 'I wonder who that was? Whose visiting on a school day?' She pushed that thought out of her head as she quickly dressed.
"Sakura! Someone's here for you!" Touya shouted. Sakura frowned. It had better not be Syaoran. But when she came out and saw who it was, she gasped. This time it was more surprising than the time that Syaoran had come over without warning to visit. She could only stare at the woman that was standing in front of her- Yelan Li.
"Ms. Yelan? May I ask why you are here?" Sakura tried to sound polite. All this commotion has gotten Touya's and Fujitaka's attention.
"I came here for you, Sakura." She glanced at Touya and Fujitaka. "Actually, I came here to talk to Fujitaka Kinomoto." She looked towards his way.
"Me? M'am, I don't think we've ever met?" He stepped out. Yelan kept silent as she stared at him. At last, Fujitaka broke the silence. "How about if we all sit down and talk? What do you want to talk about?" He ushered Sakura and Touya to sit on one end of the couch.
"Well, lets just say that I'm a very direct person. I say things to people directly, so they will understand me more." She bought up a suitcase, and clicked it opened. Touya gasped. Sakura stared. (would gape be ok too? Hehe) Fujitaka looked outright surprised.
'That is such an insult to us! How dare she! Who the hell does she think she is?' Touya thought angrily. Never had he been insulted like this in his life. (mm I wonder whats inside..) Fujitaka was the first to speak.
"Ms. Yelan Li? What's all this? I'm afraid I don't understand,"
"Is this enough? It's 100 million dollars. Sakura, I hope you would keep your acts together and never see Syaoran again." Yelan was calm as she looked at Sakura's shock looking face that became angry when she had heard what she said. "Syaoran's growing up, and I'm sure he's really mix up about his feelings right now. You see, he's not really loving you, he's just playing around. He's only 16, he can't possibly know what true love is. He's fooling around, and he's left me messes to take care of." At this point, Touya cleared his throat.
"Excuse me for a moment," He said, and he went to the kitchen. Sakura was really angry by now. She wasn't the one who asked Syaoran out! They never dated! 'Well, at least we're not being called as girlfriend or boyfriend, but still!' That hurts. 'And I never even really loved him. Or do I?' Sakura was confusing herself as she battled on her own silent mental battle. No one really noticed that Touya came out carrying something in his hands. He stood behind Yelan, and before anyone knew what was happening, he tipped over the can and the white substance poured all over Yelan.
"Touya!" Fujitaka's voice was sharp.
"You're doing that just cause we're poor, we're not in the same rank as you. How do you know that Syaoran doesn't really love Sakura? How do you know Sakura doesn't love back? What you're doing is very shameful! If you think we're cheap, you're the one whose cheap!" Touya spat. Sakura sat there, very surprised. Her older brother was protecting her, standing up for her!
Yelan was very surprised, but at the same time relieved because the white substance was only flour. She stood up, cleared her throat, indicating to Steven that it was time to go.
"Sorry to bother you with your precious time," She growled, before giving Touya and Sakura both a dirty look, and left out the door. Yelan Li would never forget manners even if she was mad. Steven bowed, and quickly closed the suitcase and followed her out.
Sakura was the first to speak after what had happened. "Touya! Thanks for sticking up for me, I wouldn't done the same thing." Sakura rushed over and gave her brother a big hug. Touya looked at his father. He was ashamed of himself. He shouldn't have done that, it was very rude and unwise of him.
"I'm sorry Oto-san (that right?) I did a very shameful thing." Sakura looked afraid. Was Oto-san going to punish Touya? After a long period of time, Fujitaka finally spoke.
"Touya, its alright. I'm glad you actually did that, or I wouldn't know what to say. What she did was a more shameful thing than you. Even if it means that we're poor, she'll never have a good relationship like us!" He stretched opened his arms, and embraced them both. (I really hope you understand what he said? Cuase ya, im not really that good lol)
Syaoran was worried. It was way past homeroom time, and Sakura still haven't went to school. Where was she? Was she mad at him?
"Tomoyo, do you know where Sakura is?" He asked, making Tomoyo smile at the his concern over Sakura.
"I'm not so sure Syaoran, she said she'd be here today, maybe she's just late like she is always. Cheer up!" Tomoyo gave him a cheerful smile. Syaoran smiled back. He hoped that Tomoyo was right.
A/n: wow. gomen if its not long enough, and I'm really sorry for the late update! Hope you guys enjoy this latest chapter by me and please r&r! I really hope I get to 200 reviews! If I do. hehe I'll make the chaps longer and I might add in a preview too! So remember to review! Ja for now!
