No More Sorrow- Chapter 13
October 14- record for me to keep track of the month^_^
"Ahhhhhhhh! Outo-san! There's a boy sleeping in our yard!" a young boy yelled, standing within a few feet from the knocked out Sowjing.
A mid-aged man hurriedly ran out the door of the house scolding his son. "Juichi, What did I say about lying? Don't tell such lies or people won't believe you to be an honorable person! I need to get to work so hurry up on your way to school!"
Juichi stood firmly as he retorted, "No! I'm not lying! There's a boy!"
The father gave an exasperated sigh and was about to say something when he heard a groan from the bush that his boy was standing next to.
As the man's eyes widened he heard a muffled, "Too early… I… better get going before anyone notices me…"
Juichi's father ran to where Sowjing lay behind the bush in front of his son and said with authority, "And who are you, young man?"
Sowjing's eyes widened. In front of him stood a confident-acting man and a young boy cowering behind him. In an attempt to hide his homelessness and name he replied seriously, "I'm just a neighbor. I'm not of good health every once in a while I pass out randomly. I suppose I was coming over to tell you something when I fell unconscious."
The man laughed and said, "Right right… that must be it!"
Sowjing smiled halfheartedly and was about to chuckle when the man yelled, "I'm not an idiot! What are you doing in my yard?!"
Juichi flinched at his father's loud words and said, "Don't be so harsh… maybe he's telling the truth."
"Truth? As a doctor, I don't think I've heard of such a ridiculous statement such as randomly falling unconscious."
Juichi was about to respond when a teenaged girl walked out the door and said, "What's wrong, Outo-san? I heard some yelling from out here."
Suddenly her eyes fell upon Sowjing and she said, "Oh! It's Tai-kun! That's kind of… odd…"
The man sighed and said, "Is this one of your friends?"
The girl giggled and said, "Not really. He goes to Seijou High too. Just transferred from Tokyo. Quite handsome, ne?"
As they were talking, Sowjing carried a helpless expression. He was at a loss. There was no possible way for him to run away because the girl recognized him from school, but at the same time, he couldn't stay because he would get in trouble. Within his frantic mind, he could barely make audible what the girl and her father were saying.
"… His looks have nothing to do with anything!" The man shook his head and said abruptly, "Juichi! Kayoko! Go to school, I'm going to talk to this boy to see what is really going on."
Both son and daughter nodded obediently as they went off into a direction towards their school. In attempt to leave, Sowjing stood up and was about to walk away too.
"Where are you going? I need to have a talk with you. I don't go for your lie and I want to know why you were sleeping on our lawn."
Sowjing sweatdropped and said, "Sir, it was only a nap. I didn't mean to fall asleep. I'm so sorry. You're a doctor? You probably have better things to do rather than talk to me. I don't want you to be late for work."
The man sighed and muttered, "Kids these days. They have absolutely no sense." Then in a louder tone he said, "Fine fine. I guess that I can't punish you for a simple nap, but learn not to lie! It really goes nowhere in life. I hope not to find you sleeping on our property anymore. Tai, is it?"
"Yes sir, Tai Sowjing."
The man shook his head and walked back to his car talking under his breath. Sowjing heard, "Late for work, damn it! I probably should have said something more to that kid, after all… sleeping on lawns these days is kind of out of line. I wonder if there's something else that he's not telling me? Sheeeeeeeesh!"
Sowjing smiled inwardly and walked the direction that Juichi and Kayoko had gone. As soon as he was out of sight from the house that he had slept at he sighed in relief.
'That was too close,' he thought. 'By now I'll be late for school…'
Trudging towards school a realization hit him. 'I just won't go to school today… I'm not here for school, I need to find out who the mistress of the cards is!'
Pausing in the street he sighed because his only clue was Syaoran Li, who was at the high school. 'I don't get it. There should be tons of people who know who this girl is and about her magic. This girl should be radiant above many other girls… and yet, how come I don't know who it is?'
Sowjing felt a slow feeling crawling through his skin of desperation as he walked aimlessly through the streets of Tomoeda. It was going to be a long day.
As Sowjing was being a lonely person wandering random streets, Sakura threw her head on the desk in frustration. Even though Syaoran smiled his half-smile that he had learned to adopt, his body language seemed cold and sad.
'I just don't get it. One day, he acts as if he can't stand me, the next day he loves me, and then he's cold again. Why is he being so puzzling?' Sakura wondered as she sat through her class, spacing out in a chaotic whirlpool of her own thoughts.
As the bell rang to signal the next period, Sakura continued to space out. She felt a tap on her shoulder and noticed a Syaoran staring down at her with a gloomy expression.
Sakura felt herself jump out of the chair and respond in a fake cheerfulness, "Thanks, Syaoran-kun! I guess that I wasn't paying attention… and time just flew as if it were nonexistent."
Syaoran nodded, his concerned expression encompassing his face in a sorrowful manner.
Even though she knew fully that something was apparently bothering Syaoran, she felt the need to ask, "Erm… Syaoran-kun? Is anything wrong?"
He shrugged and suddenly smiled. In a confident demeanor he asked, "Sakura, is it ok if we get out of school?"
"Right now? You've been acting kind of odd today." Sakura questioned, surprised at the randomness of the question and his mood.
"I know. There are just some things I need to talk to you about. And yes, now."
Sakura gave Syaoran a confused look and after a brief moment of hesitance replied, "I suppose… if it's important."
Syaoran took Sakura's arm after she finished her phrase and, without a word, began to take them to the exit of the school.
A/N- Ok, I realize that that wasn't too good… rather short. But I missed my deadline by so many days I decided to put out what I had. I know that it's rather mysterious and abrupt, but it'll all fit together. With Sowjing not being in school…. Syaoran and Sakura getting out of school… catching the drift? What's Syaoran gonna tell Sakura? As for the family that found Sowjing, there will be more on them in later chapters! If you need something to read, check out, "Pure Soul", my new fic! Enjoy people, and if you have time, please consider to review. It brings my spirits up!
