Let Me Blow Ya Mind

Li came up around three in the morning, exhausted. He saw Sakura sleeping on top of the sheet. He pulled her boots off, and picked her up. He put her under the sheets, and adjusted the pillow beneath her head. She smiled in her sleep, and sighed. He felt himself go crimson. He was about to dash downstairs and go get wasted, when she woke up.

Shit…

"Li?" She asked innocently. He nodded. She sat up, then got out of bed. She gained her balance, and walked over to him. "W-what time is it?" she asked between yawns, stumbling around. He glanced at his watch.

"Three." He replied stiffly. She nodded, and slid into her boots. She reached into her bag, and pulled out a tight black tee shirt. Li turned around as she changed into that, and changed her underwear. She brushed her hair.

"Okay, I'm ready for anything!" She exclaimed. Li shrugged. She walked over to him again, and looked into his amber eyes. "You have bags under your eyes." She said, as she touched his face. He didn't but she wanted an excuse to touch his face. He shrugged, but didn't move away. She was close. Too close. So close he couldn't find the strength to move. Their heads moved closer together, and Li brought his hands to her face. Their lips touched, very lightly, but they did touch. She pulled away, pink and nervous. She adjusted her shirt, and Li ran a hand through his hair. They turned away.

"I shouldn't have done that," Li's voice cracked. He was fidgety, and his voice sounded panicky. "Oh man…"

They turned around again to face each other, with Sakura twisting her hands. Li was breathing heavily. He was damn scared. If Eriol found out…

Who really cared? They each thought this as their heads came closer together, and then her arms were around his neck, and his hands were around her waist.

Sakura woke up that morning under Li. She gasped. Did they do anything?

No, she was still clothed. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, so that his head was in her lap. She stroked his hair, then remembered. Meiling. She sighed. Meiling would find out, and then Tomoyo and Meiling would call her a slut.

Then she came to a conclusion. It was his fault! He was the one who was so damn sexy; he was the one who should be blamed!

She got out of bed and ran downstairs. Meiling and Tomoyo were eating breakfast.

"Guys!" She called. They both stood up. "You were right. Men screw everything and move on."

"What happened?" Tomoyo demanded.

"He kissed me. Li kissed me!" She lamented. Tomoyo nodded sympathetically, and rubbed her back. Meiling looked at the floor. Her eyes were misty.

"I… always knew it would happen." She slumped in the stool. Tomoyo ordered her a coke, but Meiling didn't take it. She stood up and trudged out of Harukiya. Tomoyo and Sakura didn't follow.

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex girlfriend. I hope I hold special place with the rest of them

It makes me sick to be on that list, but I should've thought of that before we kissed

Why'd you have to go and pick me? When you knew that we were different, completely

She dragged her feet across the asphalt miserably, letting the rain pummel her skin. Once in a while she would stop to ring out her pigtails, but other than that, she kept on going.

I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex girlfriend, I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex girlfriend

I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them

I'm about to give you away, for someone else to take

And it's gonna kill me to see you with the next girl

Sakura felt horrible for Meiling. Meiling never deserved to lose her boyfriend, the only decent guy available.

She pulled herself up the stairs, not ready to face Li.

She took a deep breath as she opened the door. Li was sitting on the edge of the bed, his face in his hands.

"Hey…" Her voice cracked. He lifted his face up a bit.

"Oh… yeah, hey." He stood up. "Listen, I really am sorry about last night-"

"Meiling hates you now." She said flatly, dropping onto the bed. He sighed, punching the wall. She rolled over on her stomach. He dropped down beside her. She didn't protest. He could rape her for all she cared; maybe it would make her feel better about Meiling. He pushed her on her back. She complied, and lay, submissive on her back. He glared.

"What are you thinking?" He snapped. She scowled.

"Something along the lines of, 'Poor Meiling'. She even thought you were decent. Then you go and screw it up." She sat up.

He folded his arms across his chest. She inhaled. He looked… mad. (And really hot in that tight black tee shirt) She got off the bed.

"Listen, if we're gonna be stuck together, we might as well get used to it. So let's forget about this and just move on." Li said. She shook her head.

"Oh, I don't think so. Because you know, I'm freaking mad about how you treat us 'chicks'. So I think I'll give you a taste of what it feels like to be used like a toy." She pinned him against the wall. He smirked.

"What? Do you think you have any power over me at all?" He teased. She growled.

"Of course I do, jerk!" She punched him squarely in the nose. He yelled out, and Sakura took advantage of the moment to move towards the door. She was almost there, when he came down on top of her, pinning her to the ground. She kicked. He smirked again. He wrapped his arms around her waist, picked her up, and pushed her on her bed. He slid her shirt off her shoulders, and left her there, stunned. She growled again, and sat up fixing it. She heard the door click. He was gone. She frowned. Then she gingerly touched her shoulders. They were tingling from his touch. Meiling's words ran in her head.

"He's a jerk, but he's pretty decent."

That night Li crept into their room, to find a sleeping Sakura. He smiled, and sat down on the edge of the bed beside her. She looked beautiful when she slept. She wasn't angry when she was asleep. He leaned down, and gave her a deep kiss. She gasped, waking up. He brushed a few strands of hair from her face. Her skin burned at his touch. She sat up to meet his face. He leaned in more. She felt her head come in contact with the pillow again. His hands were on either side of her head. She was trapped. But it wasn't so bad…

***

Eriol walked into Harukiya, glad to see his precious Sakura again. But first… he wanted a drink. He ordered some beer, and sat down on a stool next to a pretty girl with a blue bandana and raven hair. At second glance however, she was beautiful. Exquisite. In fact, he had never seen anyone so beautiful. Her large lavender eyes were filled with an expression that he couldn't read. It intrigued him. He accepted his beer and took a sip, eyes glued to her. Her silky black hair was tied back under the bandana. Her soft pale skin glowed in the light. Her lips looked soft. Then he noticed her black pants. Oh. Never mind. He looked away, a bit disappointed. So she wasn't pretty after all. She was just another feminist. He sighed, quickly finishing the rest of his beer. He shoved his hands into his pockets, and sauntered upstairs…

The way Li kissed her was like lightening and rainbows. She could feel her heart fluttering against her ribs like a trapped bird in a cage. Everything was great until…

"Li?!" The two looked up to see Eriol standing in the doorway. He darted over and threw Li off the bed.

"What the f*** are you doing?" His voice was dangerously soft. Like cotton over a spike. Li stood up.

"I'm kissing Sakura. What the hell does it look like?" He replied. Sakura swallowed, sinking under the covers as the two broke into a fistfight. Once in awhile, bloodstains would appear on the sheet, but other than that, she could only hear as the two most important men in her life tortured each other. It went on for an hour. Finally, there was silence. Sakura pulled the sheets down to see Li lying on the floor, barely breathing. She screamed. Eriol looked scared. His face was paler than usual, and his eyes were darting around nervously. He suddenly dashed out the door before Sakura could do anything. She knelt down beside Syaoran, who was clutching his stomach. She led him to the bathroom as he coughed up blood.

"Why did you do that?" She whispered. He shrugged, straightening up and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Maybe because I love you, and I want to be near you." He replied, running a hand through his hair. "And if it means getting the shit beat out of me, I'll do it." He hugged her tightly. She reached up and kissed him. It was strange how quickly they had fallen in love.

"Come on. I'm taking you back to Tomoeda." He said, pulling her back into the room.

Maybe it was… destiny? That was so romantic, just like in the old movies…

But she couldn't forget about Meiling and Tomoyo, and what she had done. First, she had to apologize to Meiling, then she had to say goodbye to Tomoyo.

She didn't want to leave.

"I want to stay." She replied firmly. He looked at her. She licked her lips. "I know it sounds crazy, but I have so much to do, so much to correct."

"Correct?"

"I hurt Meiling. We hurt Eriol. I can't leave it at that." She said, tears slipping down her cheeks. He nodded, looking down at the floor.

"…You're right."

What? Such a short chapter. But I am warning you, we're not halfway through.
