Trying to Cheat Fate
By: Xiao

Author's Note:

I feel bad for Syaoran for being slapped by Meiling, but I also feel so bad for Meiling because he told sakura about her problems and how she was seeing a therapist. Aw.. the poor couple, hai?

Chapter Fifteen: Arguing.

Syaoran tossed his head back and groaned loudly, thinking of how this truely shouldn't be such a big deal, considering that Meiling and Sakura weren't really enemies anymore. He stared, and then finally dashed off after her, making it to the driver's side of the car before she did, considering that Meiling had been walking. She gave him a glare and walked off to the other side of the car, opening it and taking a seat, and putting on her seat belt.

"I should of just drove off without you." She nudged her head toward the ignition, were the keys had been. Quietly, Syaoran took his seat, ignored Meiling's comment, put on his seat belt and started the car. Meiling crossed her arms over her chest and turned her head lightly and watched everything move around her, outside the window of the car, while Syaoran drove off.

There had been silence for a few minutes, while Syaoran had been sorting things out in his mind. He had been the one to break it, and bring up the topic again. "I don't see why you should be so mad at me, Meiling." She laughed. He ignored it and continued. "It's not like you and Sakura are enemies anymore."

"I DON'T NEED THE WHOLE GODDAMN TOWN OF TOMOEDA TO KNOW ABOUT MY PROBLEMS, SYAORAN LI." He winced at her naming him with his last name. "Knowing Kinomoto," she had now switched from using Sakura's first name, to her last name. It was obvious that she was just.. burning with rage. "She'll probably tell the whole fucking--" Syaoran winced again. "town that Meiling has a problem and needs to see a therapist, Li." He was in for it, now wasn't he?

Either if Meiling was mad at him, he couldn't help but yell back. Not one person was ever able to walk all over him like that. "FOR GOD'S SAKE, MEILING, I DIDN'T TELL HER YOU WERE PREGNANT AND SLITTING YOUR WRISTS!"

"Then what the hell are you going to tell her? Hm, smart one? Lie? Syaoran Li lying," she chuckled. "That'll be a change, now won't it?"

Twenty more minutes of yelling has passed before Syaoran had finally pulled the car into the driveway with a sudden jerk. Meiling had finally pushed one button too many, and Syaoran, not able to watch his mouth, had shouted what had first appeared in his mind.

"Atleast I'm smart enough to not go blabbing other peoples problems to some girl who'll probably tell everyone and then the whole town will know," Meiling had hissed quietly.

"You know what?" Syaoran turned the key the opposite way so it was now off. "Atleast, if I were a girl and pregnant, I would actually be able to handle the damn situation, instead of trying to get everyone's attention by slitting my wrists." He said this without looking at her, and coldly, with no emotion was so ever.

She burst into tears and struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt, finally doing so, and opening the door, and looking at him, her tears dampening her face within seconds. "I HATE YOU!" She screamed at him. "I HATE YOU! I SWEAR TO HELL, I HATE YOU!" She slammed the door as hard as she could and ran to the front door, pulling out her own set of keys and unlocking the door. She looked at the car one more time before entering. "GO TO HELL, LI!" SLAM. She ran down the hallway, to the bathroom and slammed that door as well, and locked it, leaning her back against the wall and sobbing hysterically, slipping down 'til she was now on her bottom, trembling, trying to calm herself down.
