Sheesh! God I'm pissed! I was in the middle of writing this bloody great chapter when, the program crashed! I lost ¾ of my work! Doesn't that just suck? Anyway, if this chapter looks pretty crap after all, you can bet that it's because I forgot what I originally had! So bare with it, I'm sure that it's still an action packed chapter!

Oh! And the good news is, I obviously have gotten past my mental block! *jumps up and down, in excitement* ^_^

(Oh and by the way, thankyou so much: Element 51 and sylversuicune-88 for you reviews!

School, tantrums, and a phone call at midnight

"Ohayoo class," the teacher said, slightly tired.

"Before we get stuck into anything, I must introduce you to two new transfer students.

I'm glad to welcome, Li Kaiju, and Li Syaoran." He gestured for them to come in.

Tomoyo smiled as Syaoran and Kai made their appearance. "Introduce yourself boys." Mr Ikari instructed them.

"Li Syaoran." Syaoran grunted. Kai said nothing.

"Arr, will then, that makes you Li Kaiju," Mr Ikari helplessly added.

A few people snickered. Kai glared at them.

"It's Kai!" He growled, still glaring at the snickering students.

Tomoyo grinned at Syaoran, who smiled slightly.

"Let's see then, how about if you sit behind Tomoyo, Kai. And you can sit to the left of him." he added to Syaoran.

"Great! Let me call the roll now," Mr Ikari sighed as he sat down in his chair and picked up the pen. Soon he was up to the name 'Kinomoto Sakura'

"H-HERE!" A voice cried exhaustedly from the doorway.

"I see!" Mr Ikari said, slightly amused. Sakura blushed and made her way to her seat.

"Late again huh!" Syaoran muttered, as she sat down. Sakura turned around, eyes widening as she saw Syaoran, then smiled. "Humph! Very funny Li." Syaoran rolled his eyes then returned his attention, to Mr Ikari.

"It looks like 1st period is time for you to study geography. I hope that you will be able to master that task, independently. For I'm certainly NOT in the mood, to quieten you down!"

Everyone sighed as they got out their geography books.

***

Syaoran felt around his bag, for his lunch. He pulled out a chocolate bar and shrugged. Guess this'll do!

He walked outside and looked around for Kai. He wasn't anywhere. Syaoran rolled his eyes and sat down under a tree. He was about to take a bite of his bar, when "Hi ya!" Syaoran looked up to see a girl with short auburn hair and sparkling sapphire eyes, standing in front of him. "Hi! Your name's Syaoran isn't it?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Soooo, can I sit with you? Thankyou, my kind gentleman!" She said, as he sat down, without waiting for a reply.

"Whaddya think you're doing? You don't exactly have my approval yet!"

"Approvals!" She said, waving the word away, "who needs approvals anyway?!" And she winked. Syaoran was utterly bewildered by this girl. "So, Syaoran, - I can call you Syaoran can't I?"

"What makes you think anything I'm going to say, is going to make a difference?" He pointed out, rolling his eyes. "Ha! You have a sense of humour! You think fast Li! And, you DO have a point there!" She laughed. Syaoran scowled.

"Where are your friends?" He drawled, taking a bit out of his bar." The girl just smiled mysteriously. "That's a good question, but don't you think, a better question would be, to ask what my name was?"

"No, not really."

"Hey! I see YOU'RE in a bad mood now. What made you go all crude?"

"Well, there's one small matter, of the fact that I actually prefer to spend my lunch time EATING!" He cried. "Hn! Well I think I'll leave you too pig out now!" She stood up and started to walk away. "Oh! And by the way," she called over her shoulder. "The names Megumi! And I like the band you've got there on your head! Ja ne!"

Syaoran blushed as he watched her walk away.

***

Sakura walked onto the school oval, lunch in one hand. Tomoyo ran over to her. "Where do you want to sit?" Tomoyo asked.

"Dunno. Hey, do you know where Syaoran is?" Sakura replied.

"Nup…oh wait! Actually, I think I saw him sitting under one of the Cherry blossom trees." Sakura looked ahead, squinting in the sun. "Arigato!" She started walking forward.

"So! What do you have next?" Tomoyo asked her, trying to start a conversation. "Uh, I think I have maths, then PD."

"Great! I have PD last too!"

Sakura came to a halt. She quickly ran to hide behind a nearby tree. "Nani?" Tomoyo said, following her friend. Sakura knelt down, and peered out from behind the trunk. Tomoyo looked around, then finally realised why Sakura had been acting like am illegal spy. Syaoran was indeed sitting under a particularly magnificent Cherry blossom tree. But he was not alone. A girl was sitting next to him. It looks like they're having a deep conversation! Sakura thought, trying not to jump to conclusions. A horrible feeling, engulfed her stomach as she saw the mystery girl laugh at Syaoran.

Sakura let out a relieved sigh, as she watched the girl, stand up and walk away. She fiercely gripped the trunk, barely fighting the urge, to charge at the girl and straighten her out!

"Sakura! Don't you dare!" Tomoyo's voice warned.

***

"That, was amusing!" Syaoran jumped. (AN: if that is possible, seeing as though he was sitting! ^_^ )

Syaoran looked up to find Kai sitting on one of the branches. "You were there the whole time?! And why were you sitting up there eavesdropping in me in the first place!" Kai grinned as he jumped off the branch. "I learn from the best!"

Syaoran scowled. "And anyway! It's not ENTIRELY my fault that you happened to postion yourself, under this tree!" Kai gloated, enjoying the look on Syaoran's face.

Syaoran grunted and stood up, crossing his hands over his chest. "I'm going to the library!" And walked away.

***

Sakura listened to the second bell. Yes! Time for some action! She happily thought, making her way towards the basketball courts. She spotted Syaoran walking a few metres away. She began to smile, then remembered what had happened earlier, at lunch.

She scowled at him, as she passed, making her way, towards the place where her class had assembled. She noticed with grim satisfaction that he had seen her and now, bore a rather bemused look on his face.

"Now class," Sakura's teacher said. Today, we're going to join the other class, and challenge them to a basket ball match." A few kids cheered. Sakura paled. "It will be a great way to practice the skills I have been showing you, last lesson! So up you get, and let's, I believe you kids say 'kick some butt!'" The whole class cheered again, totally inspired at doing just that. The two teachers smiled at each other, as the children got into position. Tomoyo smiled excitedly at Sakura, who smiled back.

"Now! What should our team name be?" Sakura's teacher asked. "How about, 'The Streakers?"

"No way!" The other teacher playfully interrupted. "Streakers? More like weaklings!"

"That's what you say, Paul!" Sakura's teacher half challenged.

"Ready guys?" he asked. "Yeah!" Piped up the class.

"Ok then!" Paul laughed. "On the count of three, Ichi, Ne, San!" He blew the whistle. Immediately kids streamed everywhere. Team A (Sakura's team) started off with the ball. The kid, manged to get reasonably close to the basket, but was intercepted , by a boy on Team B. he tried to throw the ball to a team mate, but a girl form Team B caught it.

She ran, down the other way, streaking past the unnerved students. Sakura gasped as she was knocked onto the hard floor. She scowled as she realised that the girl who had pushed her, and who currently had the ball, was the girl Syaoran had been talking to earlier. Tomoyo, helped Sakura up. "Daijobu?" She asked Sakura. "Yeah, I think I'm fine!" She bravely responded, rubbing her leg, unaware that Syaoran was looking at her.

Sakura watched as the mystery girl, scored a goal. She grinned madly, and managed to score another one. Team A finally, managed to recover the ball. The girl grinned again, rushing past Sakura, towards the retreating ball. "Great Megumi!" Sakura heard someone say. Megumi? Is that that girls name?

***

Eventually, as the game went on, Sakura was able to score some goals of her own. She laughed happily as her team cheered her on! She decided to throw the ball to another girl. She caught it and Team A scored some more goals. Members of the Team B team started to surround her. She tried to throw the ball away, and sighed, relieved as another member of her tam caught it. The girl stared in horror at the ball that she had just caught. "Come on Yui! You can do it!" her friends encouragingly called. Yui shrieked as someone charged at her. She hurriedly threw the ball away. Syaoran caught it.

He stared at it for a moment then took action! He swiftly managed to bounce the ball back to Team A's basket, without much interference (he was too fast!) and scored a goal. He tried again, and glanced at Sakura for inspiration. The look of complete fury, was on her face. Syaoran frowned, hurt that she wasn't happy for him - like he had been for her when she scored her goals. In fact! He had actually cheered her on! Completely distracted by his thoughts, he missed. He would've usually leap up to catch the ball before anyone else did, but this time, he just stood. Watching the ball bounce a couple of times on the floor. It was like it was in slow motion. He hurriedly realised that he was being an idiot, and quickly recovered the ball from the many hand reaching to get it.

He knew that there was no way, he could shoot properly again, so he threw the ball, to the person, who was just going to make the situation worse - Megumi.

Sakura clenched her fists again, as she saw Syaoran pass the ball to Megumi. Jealousy invading her body like dark storm clouds. She angrily turned away, to stop the tears from coming.

***

"And Team B wins!" Paul enthusiastically shouted, sneering at Sakura's teacher.

*The final bell rang*

"Ahh! Just in time! See you tomorrow kids!" Sakura's teacher said, as most of the kids rushed off towards the exit, running so that they wouldn't miss there bus. Syaoran scowled at them, hating when everyone rushed out in a frenzy. It was totally not civilised at all! Then quickly recovered, looking around for Sakura so that he could ask her why she was furious with him. He couldn't see her anywhere. But she doesn't need to rush! She doesn't even HAVE to catch a bus! He sighed as he walked towards his locker, a nasty feeling creping into his heart.

***

"SAKURA!" She heard someone shout out. She turned around to find Syaoran running up to her, his hair slightly damp from sweat. What does he want? To rub it in? To make me feel even worse than I already am! "What Li?" She impatiently asked.

"I just wanted to know," he said as he caught up to her, "what I did?!" You know bloody well what you did! Sakura silently fumed. "What do you mean Li?"

"Well, you keep glaring at me!" he answered. Because you DESERVE it!

"No I haven't' Sakura argued. Syaoran wasn't fooled, she saw his hazel eyes intently stare worryingly into her own, searching for a clue as to why she was being so cold to him.

Well, I'm NOT going to give him any! Sakura determinedly thought. "What's up Sakura?!" He demanded rather than asked, frowning sternly at her. Sakura felt her heart stop beating. She HATED it when Syaoran looked like that! As though he detested her. How could I explain to Syaoran anyway? How I saw him enjoying himself, with that MEGUMI girl! No! That not what I'm upset about! She helplessly told herself. I'm upset because…he…he took the ball of Yui! That's right!

"Ok! I'll tell you what's wrong. You hurt Yui's feeling when you STOLE the ball off her!"

"Nani!" Syaoran exclaimed, eyes widening in fury. "I didn't steal the ball off her! He cried, eyes flashing. Sakura knew he was right, but didn't want to admit it. She gasped as she realised something else. She had spied on Li! AND she was jealous of Megumi, no point in denying it! And now because of her foolishness, Syaoran probably hated her again! His outraged expression, seemed to prove it. Sakura bit her lip, to stop herself from crying. She tasted the metallic blood.

"Sa-Sakura?" She heard Syaoran ask. She turned and ran towards the exit, not stopping to even put her blades on. Leaving Syaoran staring slightly unnerved at the retreating Sakura.

***

Even Kero had noticed that Sakura was in a bad mood - she could tell! Her head sank exhaustedly into the pillow. She turned of the lamp, filling the room with darkness. She sighed and closed her eyes.

***

It was late at night. Sakura was having a nightmare. She watched in horror as Syaoran shouted at her - the same three words over and over again, "I hate you!" She fell to the ground as tears were poring down her cheeks. Syaoran turned away from her and looked at someone else - Megumi. He smiled lovingly at her and kissed her. Then he knelt down and whispered something to her chest . Sakura screamed in horror as she realised that Megumi was ….PREGNANT!!!

Sakura opened her eyes. She peered into the darkness and listened to her heavy breathing. More tears fell, as she shouted inwardly at her mind! That's so unfair! Why did you have to pick my weak spot?!

She tried to get back to sleep, but it was pointless. All she could think about was, 'SYAORAN!" and "Syaoran loves Megumi!"

Sakura sat up pondering what to do. She knew she was being stupid, she knew that she would just going to embarrass herself. But she knew that she had top do it! She had to call Syaoran, and fast! She wiped her tears on her sleeve and turned the lamp on. She squinted in the startling bright light, urging her eyes to become accosted.

She reached for the phone. With trembling fingers, she dialled Syaoran's number.

TO BE CONTINUED…

In the next chapter, how will Syaoran react to be called at 1:30 or so in the morning? Find out soon!

(AN: I know that dream was really weird! But hey, isn't that what dreams are? ^_^ and I haven't forgotten about Kai.)
