A Honest Rumor
By: Xiao
Author's Note:
I'm surprised at how many reviews I am receiving on this fiction. Quite amazing, actually, on how many people saying that for a MeiLi author I can be pretty good at the pairing I hate the most. It disturbs me to no return to hear that.. Anyway! Continuing on!
And part of these notes are to my dear friend, Ebony Black. I have now tried to make my chapters longer since you have so "nicely" threatened to hurt me. Although I will not go as to put complete Syaoran + Sakura sappy mush! That is saved for my MeiLi stories!

Chapter Nine: What a Show
-----
It started out as an honest rumor. Who knew? Who would ever suspect that the ones that hated each other the most, would end up becoming the complete opposite of what everyone expected? Who knew that behind their lies and hatred for each other, that there was a little ray of… love, perhaps? Who knew that because of a random person, making a random joke, about two random people, with a random comment, could be bringing these two into realization? Who knew? Perhaps, deep down inside of the two teens, they could realize it themselves.
Yes, it was supposed to just start out as a joke. Seriously. A random rumor made by some random person, just for the hell of it. Just to get some laughs. Nothing serious, of course not! They never knew that deep down it was… true?! They never knew that deep down, it would turn to--
"Meiling is in the bushes watching from the window." Syaoran commented as he took a glance at Sakura, who was staring at him. She had began to pick up the miscellaneous items that they had used and placed about the living room. At the moment, Syaoran had stopped, his back to the window, and made that certain comment to Sakura. Completely sure of himself, without even taking a glance behind him.
"Hoe?" Sakura said, already confused on how the boy was able to complete such a task.
"Years of training. After everything I've learned, sensing someone's presence isn't even as hard as winking. She's outside, by the window. I can even bet she's been taking glances inside, knowing Meiling and all. Little sneak. Liar, too, she said she'd be working with Lei for at least two hours. Okay, my ass." He took another glance at Sakura, and began to gather up the rest of the materials with Sakura before beginning to nudge her to the stairs and up to her room, where they placed everything back it's original place.
"Hoe?" Sakura said, blushing as she stared at the raven haired girl sitting in her bushes with a walkie talkie at hand. She could notice that the girl had her eyes transfixed on, obviously, the stairs. Meiling was probably waiting for them to come back from upstairs and catch in on whatever else they had planned. She took a glance back at Syaoran, who was sitting down opposite of her.
"If you really want to get rid of her--" Syaoran began, taking a glance behind him at Sakura, who was still staring out the window, her face basically pressed against the glass. "Which I take as a yes. I do know how to freak her out and she'll probably run away."
"How?" She said, instantly turning to look at him.
"Uh.. Well.. I don't exactly know how to explain, but--" Sakura snatched his hand in hers and pulled him up and out of the her bedroom before coming to the middle of the stairs and letting go of his hand, looking at him, questionably.
"I'll just follow your lead, okay?" She said. He nodded and began to walk back down the stairs with Sakura slowly trailing behind him, before they were back in view of Meiling. Poor Meiling still had no idea that they had realized she was there. Syaoran couldn't help but smile and then turn to look at Sakura. "She can't hear anything through the window."
"Okay, just act like we're talking." She nodded and smiled, and couldn't help but chuckle. The poor one who had made the rumor was about to be put in place by a show that would be guided by Syaoran. She began to chit chat with him about random things, causing them both to blush every other time. For the first time, she could actually see him truly smile as if they were friends.
"Don't kill me for this." He whispered, as he setting one of his hands on her cheek, causing her to blush heavily, her eyes widening, but keeping locked with his own. She would of emitted with a loud 'hoe' a moment later, but thankfully Syaoran had already pressed his mouth against her own. The whole action caused a loud "CODE GREEN!" shouted from Meiling, and had also brought Meiling to run away, frantically saying things into her walkie talkie, no doubt to another girl who was probably attempting to spy on the two. There was a long moment while the two continued to kiss, or shall we say… French kiss -- before they had pulled apart and stared at each other, each blushing heavily.
"Is she... Gone?" Sakura had finally asked, after a moment for each of them to process what had just happened. She waited as Syaoran closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before opening his eyes, and nodding at the girl in front of him. "Why did she run?"
"I don't know." He shrugged, and turned, walking over to the window. He placed his hand on the wood beneath the glass and took a glance down at the bushes, where it was now completely obvious that Meiling had been there, considering there was small foot prints and the bush was now completely destroyed from where he had threw it. "I just had a feeling it would catch her off guard. Don't know what made me think she would run away, though. She's just a little weird, I suppose." He took a glance at Sakura. "Just had a feeling."
"It's like the creepy evil twin type of thing. What? Can you read her mind or something, because you seemed to read her as if she was a book or something. But I guess I get it. Close cousins, like creepy twins except you and Meiling aren't twins, obviously." Syaoran stared at Sakura.
"You know how stupid you just sounded?" He shook his head, and couldn't help be caught off guard by wondering what ever got him to like such a stupid little prep such as Sakura Kinomoto. She shook her head, and didn't even respond before walking back into the kitchen, most likely to get a drink or something of the sort. He could hear her gently whispering "what a show" under her breath, in a soft of bubbly tone.
"Hey. I've got a question for you, since you seem to have this "creepy evil twin thing" with Meiling. You heard her scream Code Green, didn't you?" She said, as she came back to the edge of the wall which connected the living room with the kitchen. She waited until he turned and stared at her before she would continue her sentence. "What exactly is Code Green, anyway?"
"Public, or not so public, display of affection." He said without even taking a moment to think about her question. Sakura stared at him in disbelief, and erupted with another confuses 'hoe?'. "It's an old game we played when we were young, kind of like spies. I suppose Meiling is just still into the idea of being a child." He shook his head and stared back at the window. Sakura had nodded and went back into the kitchen, and began to make a drink of some sort.
Syaoran's cell phone then quickly began to vibrate in his side pocket and began to play a tune (which most of us know as 'Ki Ni Naru Aitsu', one of Syaoran's songs) softly. He picked it up and pressed the button before placing it to his ear and began to hear an eruption of Chinese from Meiling (Meiling had lied to Tomoyo and told her it was Lei). "What do you think you're doing?! Are you anyway aware that you just made out with your 'enemy'. Okay, you know what? That's horrible for your reputation! You ever get the idea that there are things called rumors?! DO YOU JUST LOVE HER OR SOMETHING!?" Was what Meiling had said to Syaoran.
"You know how obsessive you are? You really need to go on with your life, I suggest that you continue you without whatever situation that Sakura and I are in. Obsessive! Ever heard of that word?" He began to shoot back, in the same tone of Chinese that she had used. Meiling had paused and waited for her cousin to continue. "Go hang out with Lei or something, Mei, seriously." He shook his head and waited for her to yell again.
"You aware of what kind of show you two put on in front of the whole world, not to mention my virgin eyes?!"
"Oh shut up Meiling, I've seen you and Lei do worse." (A/N: That line is SPECIFICALLY dedicated to Cody) He stated back, calmly. He couldn't help but laugh as he heard a click from the other line and sat down while waiting for Sakura to come back. Sakura came back a moment later, and waited at the doorway for an explanation from Syaoran.
"She saw." He stated to her calmly. Sakura laughed and went back into the kitchen, and finished the tea she was making and came back, setting it on the table. She took a cup and poured herself a glass and leaned back in her seat.
"Those rumors." She said to herself, as she began to roam her mind for thoughts that she could add onto the situation. She smiled, a bit mischievously and looked at Syaoran, who had already poured himself a glass of steaming tea and was sipping it. "I have an idea, Syaoran. If you're at all willing to do it, I'll explain." It was now Syaoran's turn to give Sakura a confused look. She giggled and took sip, before leaning forward. She paused, and laughed a little bit before she began to explain to Syaoran her plan which would probably bring the world upside down. Hopefully.

Author's Note:
I ENJOY LEAVING ALL OF MY FANS WITH A CLIFF HANGER. Well.. So this story may last more than one more chapter! I don't know if that's good news or but, I seemed to have a burst of creativity and thought of something everyone's going to like (except me and my MeiLi forever-ness). Anyway, please review! I'd love your guys feedback.
Ebony Black, was the long enough for you? I tried my best! Alright, well, tell me okay? Thanks so much!
