Never Underestimate A Cherry Blossom
~Chapter Three: Who Are You Really?~
Sakura frowned as she sat back down, a picture of Ariko going through her head. 'God I miss him.' she thought sadly about what he'd do if he were here.
"Earth to Saku! Hello? Anybody home?" Meilin interrupted her thoughts. She hoped Sakura wasn't thinking about that greasy guy, Ariko. She hated the fact that her little sister was marrying such a grease ball.
Sakura blushed and looked up into a pair of intense amber eyes, she blinked and looked away, thoughts of Ariko crowding her head again. His blond hair, bright blue eyes. His smile, "I'm fine, Meilin." She replied.
Meilin gave her a questioning look, but turned her attention back to Syaoran and their conversation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran's P.O.V.:
I watched as she looked up at me and as her cheeks turned red, I couldn't help but smile a bit as she turned away.
"So, Syaoran, do you live around here?" Meilin asked.
I turned my attention to her. "Well, uh. Not quite exactly. I. Um. Well." I stuttered, trying to think of some explanation.
"Well, where exactly do you live?" she questioned. Now Sakura was looking at me also.
"Well, I, uh, don't exactly -live- anywhere at the moment. I ran away just today." I said softly. 'Why am I telling them this? They're total strangers! I've just met them and yet I'm spilling my troubles out on them.'
Sakura looked at me, "Oh, I see, why?"
"Well, I, uh. Where I lived, everyone expected too much of me. My Mother was planning on forcing me into marriage and so many other things that I didn't want to do." I said, rather shyly.
"Oh." Meilin and Sakura both said in unison, they exchanged a sympathetic look with each other.
I sighed, "I don't even know why I'm telling you both this, but it."
"Feels like we've known each other forever?" Sakura spoke up. I looked up at her and smiled a bit, she gave me a friendly smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Normal P.O.V.:
Meilin looked from Sakura to Syaoran and smiled, an evil plan forming in her mind. She excused herself for a moment and headed for the DJ's table, she got up there and smiled sweetly at him.
"What can I do for ya, babe?" he asked, smiling back. She leaned up close to his ear and whispered something to him, and he looked at her, "I don't know, I'm not sure if I'm-"
"Please? For me?" she pleaded, making a pouty face that, so far, no man has been able to resist.
He smiled, "For you, babe, anything."
Meilin smiled evilly, "Thanks, cutie!" she said before sauntering back to their table.
"Hey Meilin, where were you?" Sakura asked as Meilin sat down beside her.
"Cruising around to see if there were anymore gang's here. Seems this will probably turn out to be our regular hangout." She said, smiling, "I'll call the others tomorrow to tell them about it."
Sakura nodded, "That's cool. I was thinking, since Syaoran doesn't have a place to live, could he live at our place? Since you got that three-bedroom place for us?"
Meilin nodded and smiled evilly through the lights, "Sure Saku." 'It'll make my job a hell of a lot easier.'
Syaoran thanked her, then something entered his brain, "You two are in a gang?" he asked suddenly.
Sakura and Meilin looked at him for a moment, stunned, then started to laugh, "Yes, we are!" Meilin commented as Sakura pulled off her jacket to show him her tattoo.
"You're talking to two full members of the Cherry Blossoms." Sakura stated proudly.
"The Cherry Blossoms?" he asked incredulously, all the while trying not to laugh.
"Hey! Never underestimate a Cherry Blossom! Why, just look at me, I'm not all who I appear to be, how old do you think I am, anyways?" Sakura asked.
He looked at her, a bit startled, "Uh. 16?"
She laughed loudly, "Guess again, smart stuff, I'm 18 in two weeks." Syaoran looked shocked, she seemed so young to him!
Just then, Sakura's favorite fast song came on and she jumped up, "Come on Meilin! Come dance with me!!!" she cried.
"Ah, Saku, I'm a bit tired, so I think I'll sit this one out, why not ask Syaoran?" Meilin said innocently.
Sakura turned to Syaoran, "Pllleeeaaassseeee, Syaoran, this is my favorite song and I don't want to dance to it by myself!"
Syaoran looked at her, and took in her bright emerald eyes, honey colored hair, and cute smile, "Sure." He replied, and before he knew what was happening, he was on the dance floor, with Sakura in his hands. 'Aaaahhhh. There! It's getting hot in here again!' he thought as they danced, but he soon forgot about it. Meilin sat on the sidelines, smiling; her plan was starting to work.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li House:
Li Yelan looked up from her desk, "He's what?" she asked, standing up.
Wei looked at the leader of the Li Clan nervously, "Uh. Li-sama seems to be gone from his room, and doesn't seem to be anywhere else, either." he said quietly.
"Well then, you know you must FIND HIM!" she yelled. Wei hurried out of the room. "Xiao Lang, my son, where have you run off to?" she asked, looking out the window. She sighed and sat at her desk, it was going to be a vvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lloonngg night tonight.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"And tonight, a breaking news story, Li Xiao Lang, heir to the Li Clan, has disappeared. The police do not believe it to be a kidnapping, but an actually a runaway case. Everyone knows about the Li engagement to the lovely and rich Chang Fei. It has been said that young Li-sama has been against it from the start, and that's why he ran away. But none of this is official yet; so do not take any of it serious. And if you have any information on Li Xiao Lang, please contact the Li fam-"
Sakura turned off the radio and sighed. They'd have to wait for a few days for anything besides a stove, beds, and a radio to be moved in.
"So, Syaoran, I was thinking, why don't you become a Cherry Blossom?" Meilin asked.
He looked up from the book he was reading, "What? Me? A part of your gang? Well, I don't know."
Sakura smirked, "Come on, Syaoran, what are you, chicken?"
He glared at her, "No!"
"The join."
Syaoran sighed, realizing he had just backed himself into a corner, "What would I have to do?"
Sakura full out grinned, "All you'd have to do is fight Eriol. And win." She explained.
"Sounds easy enough." He replied.
"Hah. Right. Eriol is one hell of a fighter." Meilin retorted.
"I think I could take him." Syaoran replied shortly.
Sakura snorted, why did she dislike this guy more and more? It felt like there was something he wasn't telling them, and he knew almost everything about them by now, except for a few small details and the larger fact that Sakura was engaged.
"I'm tired, Mei-chan, I think I'll go to bed." Sakura said, quickly grabbing her bag and leaving the room.
"Goodnight Saku." Meilin called, watching Syaoran, who was staring at her as she left.
"'Night." She called back, closing her bedroom door.
"So." Meilin started after Sakura had closed the door, "You got anyone special?"
He looked at Meilin like she had grown another head, "No!" he blurted.
Meilin looked surprised at his sudden outburst, but continued, "Neither do I, but Saku. She's engaged."
Syaoran's face dropped, "Really?" he asked glumly.
"Yea, he's a real scum ball though, I wish my little sister wasn't marrying him." Meilin sighed, and wrinkled her nose up at the thought of him. "But anyways, back to the subject of you joining the gang." she continued.
"Is her fiancé in the gang?" he asked quietly.
Meilin sat down beside him, "Yea, he is, why?"
"When can I join?"
Meilin looked startled, she never thought he liked her this much, and they had only met, but none-the-less, she smiled, "In a week or two, maybe, we gotta get settled and then let the others get to know you and see if you'd be a good asset to the organization."
He nodded, "I'll do it." He said determinedly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura's Dream:
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ariko." I murmured.
"Sakura." a voice replied, and I looked up to see a pair of amber eyes looking back at me.
"Syaoran?!" I cried out.
"What? Sakura! Sakura! Wake up!" he called.
~End Dream.~
Sakura opened her eyes to look directly into two pools of amber liquid.
"Syaoran?!" Sakura cried out for real this time.
"Yes, Sakura?" he replied, standing up fully again.
"WHAT are you doing in MY room?" she yelled.
He blushed a bit, but smirked, "I've been trying to wake you up for the last fifteen minutes, your cooking stuff arrived today, along with some food, so I made breakfast, I was just wondering if you were hungry.
Sakura sat up and glared at him, why did he annoy her so much? He was just being nice, "I'll be down in a moment." She ground out.
"Ok." He said, not moving from the spot where he happened to be standing.
"Do you MIND?!"
He blinked and leaned over so that his face was centimeters from hers, "No, not at all.
She blushed bright red and grew even angrier, "GET OUT!" she yelled.
He smirked, and opened his as if to say something back, but instead, just closed his mouth and left.
Sakura sighed, what was with this guy? What wasn't he telling her? She rolled over on her bed and noticed an end table and alarm clock. 'Must've been delivered this morning.' she thought lazily, 'Syaoran must've put it in here.' she reached over and clicked it to radio.
"And I repeat, Li Xiao Lang has been missing for almost a day and a half. The police are on the lookout, but we need help from everyone, please, if you have any information on this man, contact your local police department right away." the radio blared.
'Li Xiao Lang, hn? Must be some rich so of a. -LI- Xiao Lang? Didn't Syaoran say that was HIS last name? Syaoran. That's Japanese.It means little wolf. And Xiao Lang means. Uh.' she concentrated, thinking back to the Chinese lessons she had as a child when they were dealing with Chinese dealers and their kids, 'Xiao Lang means. that bastard!!!! OH! It's him! He's the rich son of a bitch they're looking for!' she thought furiously as she threw on a black t-shirt with a cherry blossom on it and a pair of blue jeans, she headed downstairs, brushing her shoulder-length hair with her fingers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran flipped a pancake. He never knew cooking was so much fun. The servants as always done it for him, but when he was little, he had always watched them, and there were some recipes that had always stuck with him. Pancakes was just one of them.
Now, he slipped the pancake onto a plate with the rest and turned around, smiling as Sakura entered the room. Meilin looked up from staring out the window and smiled also.
"Good morning, Syaoran, or should I say, Mr. Li Xiao Lang, hhhmmmm? It was nice of you to tell us you are heir to a multi-billion dollar Chinese Clan." Sakura spat out.
Meilin looked at Syaoran, shocked, "Is this true???"
He looked away from them as to not meet their eyes, but nodded.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Meilin asked quietly.
"I'll tell you why! He wanted to sneak into our gang, then go running to Mommy and rat us out so he could be on T.V. some more. You greedy, self- centered, son of a-"
"SAKURA! ENOUGH!" Meilin screamed.
Sakura's head swerved to look at her, "Meilin?"
Meilin stood up, glaring at her, "I'm sure Syaoran's not truly like that! You just seem to have had a problem with him the moment you bumped into him on the streets! But, you know what I really think? I don't think it's him, I think it's you! All of us have our secrets, and he must have a reason for running away! Come on, Syaoran, we'll leave her to think about how cruel she's just been!" Meilin said, sweeping out of the room, Syaoran followed, after giving Sakura one pleading, apologetic look.
