No More Sorrow-Chapter 11
Sakura looked at Syaoran after school and said, "So, would you like to go?"
"To a dinner… with your brother? Er, no thanks," Syaoran said laughing to himself. A dinner with Touya hassling him for a few hours did not seem like his idea of a good time.
"But Yuki will be there too! You haven't seen them in a while, why not?" Sakura asked sweetly.
Syaoran found himself agreeing with what Sakura said because of the look on her face. He didn't want to see Yuki that much but he also didn't want to disappoint her so… "Fine fine fine, I'll go with you!"
Sakura jumped with glee. "Arigato, Syaoran-kun!"
Syaoran sweatdropped and planned for a long night ahead of him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"No girl yet?" the man with the scar on his face said to Sowjing with disdain.
Sowjing bowed his head, "No."
The man bellowed, "How hard is it to find this girl? Aren't there any magical girls at the school?"
"But it's hard to know who has magic and who doesn't! I can't read aura's and look at a person and know that that person has magic. I'm an ordinary human being, trying to get by in life," Sowjing complained.
"Who said you're ordinary? Why do you think that I chose you to find her? There are no ordinary people in the world."
Sowjing bit his tongue in anger. "Gomen. Currently I've been following the boy who defeated your beast, because I think that he will lead me to her."
The man looked at the boy and said, "Well then. What are you waiting for? Where is the boy now?"
"Well, I had to come here to report to you first…"
"No! Go after the boy! Perhaps he is with the cardmistress right now! Geez!"
"Gomen," Sowjing said again.
"Yeah yeah yeah! Just get on with it!"
Sowjing nodded and promptly left, and angry glare set on his face. 'He acts as if it's the easiest thing to do to find her! I've had thirteen days! I have time, he's just being mean. Spending the night watching Syaoran is lame… but there is nothing else I can do. Where is he anyway?' Sowjing thought to himself.
He walked towards some shops in downtown Tomoeda, one eye looking for Syaoran, and the other looking at the atmosphere around him. He spotted many people he recognized from the school, but no Syaoran. 'This is crazy! How many people live here? There is no way I'll be able to find him tonight. I guess I'll take the night off from finding the mistress and sleep early tonight.'
But then he heard it from two people passing him.
"Yeah, Sakura is going to bring a friend… she hasn't told me who. I certainly hope it's not a Li kid. They bug me…"
"You just have a sister complex! I've told you so many times. But I think you should get over it. Those kids aren't so bad. Where are we going to eat again? I'm hungry…"
"Yuki! You're always hungry!"
Yuki frowned and replied, "Not always Touya! Only MOST of the time."
Touya shook his head and laughed. "Sure…"
Sowjing's head bobbed up in excitement. 'Just my luck! That Touya mentioned that perhaps 'a Li kid' would be there. And if Syaoran isn't there… Sakura will be so I could say 'konnichiwa.' I guess I won't get this night off.'
Sowjing smiled slyly and followed the two adults named Touya and Yuki.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura and Syaoran sat at a table near the window. They sat next to each other, leaving room across the table for Touya and Yuki. Syaoran's eyes were drooping, to show how not thrilled he was to being there. On the other hand, Sakura was beaming with happiness and couldn't wait to see Touya and Yuki. Of course she remembered that Syaoran and Touya didn't get along, but that was years ago! Surely, they wouldn't act insensible.
But then Touya walked in, talking with Yuki. Touya's eyes found where Sakura was sitting and acknowledged that he found her. He looked pretty much content until… he saw Li Syaoran sitting with a bowed head next to his sister. 'Ugh, this is her friend? This is going to be a LONG night.'
Touya and Yuki sat across from Sakura and Syaoran at the table. Touya and Syaoran were silent for a few moments, but Yuki and Sakura acted as if there was nothing to be uncomfortable about.
"Konnichiwa Sakura! How are you two?" Yuki asked.
"Great!" Sakura replied, full of smiles. Then her stomach growled and Yuki laughed.
"I'm hungry too!" Yuki cried out, cheerfully.
Touya shook his head and Syaoran lifted his head and sighed. Syaoran took a quick look at Touya and couldn't help but smirk. Touya noticed it and said with disproval, "What's your problem?"
Syaoran tilted his head and replied, "I dunno… you always seemed much more taller to me."
"Why you little…" Touya started, standing up.
Yuki quickly pushed him down, not even bothering to gaze in that direction. His eyes stayed glued ahead in shapes of T's, as if to pretend that nothing happened. Syaoran sat back in his chair and laughed. Sakura sweatdropped and stepped on Syaoran's foot. Syaoran yelped and sunk into his chair, along with Touya who was doing the same.
A waitress chose that moment to come by to say, "Are you ready to order?"
Yuki nodded and said, "I'd like a…" as he went onto a long list of items. The other three and the waitress sweatdropped as Yuki's list got pretty long. The other three ordered and then the table was filled with silence.
Touya attempted a start at a conversation. "Have you been making trouble in China and they kicked you over to here?"
Syaoran replied, "That's pretty stupid to think. No one could literally kick me over here."
Touya glared. Sakura stomped on Touya's foot next and he, like Syaoran, cried out and was silent.
Yuki smiled, while Sakura blew some fumes. The table was once again quiet.
The waitress came by with the food and set it on the table. She promptly left. Yuki began eating his food with eagerness, while Touya, Sakura, and Syaoran, sighed and ate without content.
Yuki nodded and then looked out the window and suddenly broke the tension by saying, "Hey! That kid looks familiar."
Everyone turned their heads to look out the window. Touya replied, "Yeah, he was in town a little while ago. I could have sworn he followed us, but I thought it was my imagination…"
Sakura was a little speechless so Syaoran said, "Isn't that Tai Sowjing?"
"Yeah…" Sakura said nodding.
"Weird," Yuki replied thoughtfully.
Touya and Syaoran nodded and said in unison, "Yeah." They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Sakura laughed at their stubborn behavior, but looked out the window. Sure enough, it really was Sowjing out there. He was sitting on a bench with a newspaper in front of him to hide him. Every once in a while, his head would pop out from the newspaper, looking around with a wild look on his face.
Using her peripheral vision, Sakura checked to see why Sowjing kept looking up from the newspaper. 'It feels like he's looking at us, how creepy.'
The other three were eating in silence. Sakura looked out the window for the last time, just for reassurance that Sowjing wasn't looking at them, when a flash entered her eyes as Sowjing's eyes met hers. They made eye contact. After a couple seconds, Sowjing broke the gaze and shook his head, as if to shake something out of his head. Then he abruptly stood up, threw down the newspaper, and began to speed walk away.
Sakura stood up too, her legs almost but not quite moving to catch up with Sowjing, causing a slight earthquake at her table. Her drink spilled all over the table cloth and all at once Syaoran and Touya were fully awake and slightly annoyed.
"Clutz," Syaoran muttered in a teasing yet serious manner.
"Kaijou! What did you do that for?" Touya cried out.
Yuki looked at Sakura, his eyes studying her. Sakura ignored them all and thought, 'How strange. He's so detached. Did he really follow oni-chan and Yuki? What's going on?'
A/N- Oooooooook, yeah. The ending was a bit weird, but that's kinda resolved in the next chapter and I needed to find some way to end this chapter. If you didn't like, please do read what I have next (cause I don't really like this chapter and I don't want to lose my readers, hehe) My writing must be getting rusty for not posting for a while. If not for the reviews. I probably would have stopped writing this altogether. Thanks for your support. Please review for this chapter! I hope that this didn't disappoint you… I think that with all the activities in school I'm in that my muse was getting rather tired and so for some reason, this chapter was really hard to write. Oh! Just a reminder. Please sign up at my new message board. http://sakurafans24.proboards9.com I want to get lots of anime fans together, and there is a fanfic section where we can talk about fanfics. See you soon! This time I won't take a 3 month break! I feel so bad for that… bye!
