Let Me Blow Ya Mind

Chapter four

Eriol sat outside Harukiya, totally wasted. The world spun. He was miserable.

He had loved her. More than anything. She was his world. His life revolved around her. And she just ditched him for Li. He wished that there was some kind of mistake. But there was none. She loved Syaoran Li. He touched his cheek. It was wet.

He was crying over a girl? A simple schoolgirl? No way.

He stood up, and looked to the rainy sky. He was just about to leave, when he saw a girl with black hair run by. She was crying. He ran after her. He knew it was pointless to, because of her black pants, but what really mattered anymore?

"Hey!" He called. She stopped, and turned around. Eriol bit his tongue. It was Meiling, for sure. Her black pigtails gave it away. Her cheeks were wet. He stepped forward. "Umm… I heard you crying, and…" She stared at him.

"Go make out with one of your little whores, Hiragizawa."

"I don't have one. She loves another." He replied. Her glare softened. "I guess he hurt you?" He added. She nodded miserably. He took another step. So did she. The rain started to pour.

"Do you realize what that makes us?" She asked, suddenly breathless. He nodded. He grasped her hands. "Broken hearts." She whispered as his face neared hers.

"Let's move on, Meiling…" He whispered. She nodded, and they kissed. It was a perfect kiss, with the rain washing away old memories. And they knew. It was meant to be.

Tomoyo sat at the bar, alone, and miserable. Everyone had everyone else. And Meiling and Eriol were bound to get together.

Takashi…

"Nobody loves me." She whispered. And nobody would ever hear her cries. She knew it. She stood up, and walked out of the bar. She closed the door behind herself, and looked around.

Meiling and Eriol were walking back, hand in hand, gazing into each other's eyes. Tomoyo took one look at them, and ran in the opposite direction as fast as she could. She rounded a corner onto an empty street, her vision blurred by her tears.

Nobody will ever notice me… I'm not unusual looking in any way, I'm not innocent like Sakura, and I'm not aggressive like Meiling. I'm not super shy like Rika, and I'll never compare to Chiharu. I don't have any interesting hobbies like Naoko. I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, a boring girl seriously lacking the zest of life that men go for. Takashi will always care about me as a friend, but he'll never love me the way I want him to. Everyone used to say that I was beautiful, before Sakura or anyone came along. They said that I was a beautiful princess. Now I'm invisible. I'm an invisible princess, bound to never love again.

She figured that since the street was empty, she could just keep running and not stop to look both ways.

Oh how wrong she was.

Sakura was afraid. Afraid to face Meiling and Eriol. She couldn't blame Syaoran anymore; this was her problem. She had kissed Syaoran back, after all.

She stared at herself in the cracked mirror. Black boots, low-cut red tank top, black leather jacket, short leather skirt. Messy hair. Since when was she a slut?

She tried to hike up her tank top so that it didn't show as much chest, but it was useless. She tried to pull her skirt down a bit so that it wouldn't look so short, but that too failed. So, instead she pulled a brush through her hair. She turned around to look at Syaoran, who was sleeping at the moment. She smiled, and sat down on the edge of the bed. She leaned down, and kissed him gently. He smiled in his sleep and murmured her name. She fought against laying back down next to him, and walked downstairs. Tomoyo was gone, and Meiling and Eriol were in a corner. Meiling was on Eriol's lap, and they were making out. Sakura wanted to just accept it and run back upstairs, but she'd never be able to sleep anyway if she didn't at least try to say sorry. She walked over to them.

"Uhhh… hey… guys?" She said hesitantly. But, Meiling and Eriol didn't notice; they were too wrapped up in making out with each other. Sakura's stomach lurched at the sight. She waved even though she knew they didn't see her, and walked back upstairs. Oh well, at least I tried. She thought, carefully opening the door to her room. Syaoran was still asleep.

She kicked off her boots, and flopped down next to Syaoran. She cuddled up against him.

"Hey sleepyhead." She whispered. He opened his eyes, and put an arm around her. He pulled her even closer, sliding her jacket off with his other arm.

"Now, where were we?" He asked, grinning and rolling on top of her. She laughed. He knelt down on top of her, and started tickling her. She shrieked with laughter.

"O-oh n-no! Stop!" She yelled. He smirked, and stopped. Once again, Meiling's words ran through her head. He's like a dog. Obedient and loyal. She smirked also, and pushed him off the bed. But I still keep 'im on a leash. She jumped off the bed, and sat on top of him.

"I think you ain't going nowhere." She whispered in his ear. He snickered.

"Stop trying to act tough. You know I'm on top."

"What the hell?" She asked, as he got up and picked her up. He dropped her on the bed, and looked down at her, trying to hold back a laugh. She glared, and pushed him back. He fell backwards laughing, and she couldn't help but laugh too.

Tomoyo sat up. She was lying on a firm mattress in a bright room that was painted pink. The coverlet on top of her was pink. The curtains were pink. Hell, even the wood was painted pink! She looked beside her to see a young man sitting on a pink chair next to her, currently asleep. He had dark hair, and it was very unruly. He opened his eyes, and looked at her. He smiled pleasantly.

"Oh, you're awake. I'm sorry, my friend almost hit you. You crashed into the hood of the car, and were knocked out. We took you to the hospital, but they told us to just bring you back here until you woke up." He explained, standing up. She could only stare. "Umm… I guess I should give you my name. It's Touya, Touya Kinomoto." She stared, only now in disbelief.

"Kinomoto?! Are you Sakura-chan's brother?" His jaw dropped.

"You know her?"

"Yes, she's a good friend of mine!" Tomoyo said, getting out of bed and jumping up and down. He blinked, hard.

"Take me to her!" He commanded. She nodded, and they ran downstairs to his car. She jumped in the passenger seat, and they were off.

Sorry it was such a short chapter, and in the first chapter for those of you who were wondering, what Tomoyo says will be revealed in good time.
