Chapter Three: Fallen From the Sky
School had already ended and Sakura was rushing to cheerleading practice. Even though most of the girls on the cheerleading team hated her, Sakura didn't mind, it was better then going home to her so called family.
"Hi Sakura!" Chiharu greeted.
Sakura smiled and got into her postion, she tossed her baton up into the air. Her thoughts started to wander, thinking of the evil glares that Syaoran has given her. 'What happened to him? I remember he was cold and lonely... but now he's like... rude and ignorant... he doesn't even remember me...'she thought. "Ow!" she yelped as the baton landed on her head.
"Pay attention, Sakura, and maybe, next time you won't get hit on the head again." the cheerleading coach scolded.
Sakura heard snickers in the background but brushed them off. She looked at the soccer field, there were a bunch of guys playing. But one of them stood out the most, Syaoran. He ran past all the guys quickly, yet gracefully and scored on the goalie in a matter of seconds.
Everyone that had witnessed that scene, had their mouths hanging opening.
"Wow..." one of the girls behind whispered. Which caused a chain reaction of sighs throughout the group of cheerleaders.
'How can someone change so much after ten years?' Sakura asked herself again. Sakura went over the routine again and pretty soon, it was the end of practice. Most of the girls headed toward the soccer field joining the mob that had already surrounded Syaoran. Sakura sighed, as she headed toward the changing room. She walked across the field, noticing that Faye was talking to Syaoran.
"So Syaoran, how would you like to go out with me on Friday?" Faye said a bit louder, noticing that Sakura was passing by.
"Sure." he said bluntly.
Sakura kept on walking, but this time at a faster pace. She never did notice that tears were starting to form in the corner of her eyes. 'Finally I'm home...' Sakura sighed. She got inside her room, she threw her backpack aside and sighed. Her stomach growled.
Kero popped out of the drawer and yawned, "Wow, Sakura, you sound like me when I'm hungry!"
"I'm going to get something to eat, do you want anything?" Sakura asked cheerfully.
"Pudding!" Kero squealed.
Sakura chuckled, 'You can never take Kero away from his desserts.'
She went downstairs and raided the fridge.
"So, I'll see you on Friday then?" a high pitched voice asked. Sakura knew who it was immediately, it was the same voice that always bothered her and tortured her- Faye.
"I wouldn't miss it for anything!" a deep, yet soothing voice answered. Sakura figured it was Syaoran.
"Until then, Syaoran." Faye said suductively.
Faye walked into the kitchen and glared at Sakura. "Are you trying to eavesdrop on my conversations, Sakura?" Faye asked angrily.
"No... I just came down to get a snack." Sakura answered innocently. She grabbed a box of sushi that was sitting in the fridge and a bowl of pudding. "I'm done." she announced and ran up to her room. She opened her books and started on her homework. 'I should've been paying more attention in math class, I'm completely confused!' she thought, as she struggled through the math problems. She looked over to see how Kero was doing. He was enjoying the pudding as he tried to beat his record in one of his video games.
"Kaijuu..." a male voice called from the other side of the door.
Sakura ran over to the door and swung it opened. "I am not a kaijuu, Touya!" she said angrily, stepping on his foot, hard.
Touya closed his eyes, reacting from the pain. "Ow..." he yelped. "I was trying calling you to tell you that dinners ready!" Touya said defensively.
Sakura nodded. Touya was the only one that she considered family, he was her real brother and she knew that he actually cared for her, even though he tended to tease her a lot. Touya didn't know what was going on with her and Mizumi and Faye. They were totally two different people when Touya was around. She sighed and went to the dining room. Mizumi and Faye was already sitting at the table, waiting impatiently.
"Can't you two ever do anything on time?" Mizumi grumbled.
Sakura kept her mouth shut, she knew that if she tried to defend herself, then she would make them both into a bad mood. Like daughter, like mother. Besides, she didn't want to cause a commotion when Touya was home. She sat down quietly, letting her thoughts ponder. 'How did I dig a hole this deep?' Sakura thought.
Touya finally joined them and they all started eating. "So, mother, I'm going away for three months or so. Yuki and I are going to start a business in Tokyo." he announced, halfway through dinner.
Mizumi looked up and smiled innocently, "Of course dear, anything you want."
Sakura was going to jump and plead for Touya not to go. If Touya left, it meant that Mizumi and Faye could do anything...
Faye had a smirk on her face, this was her chance.
"When are you leaving, Touya?" Sakura asked.
"Tommorow." Touya told her.
Sakura stood up and picked up her plate, "May I be excused?" she asked as politely as she could.
"Yes you may." Mizumi replied.
Living with Mizumi meant strict rules. Especially for Sakura, Mizumi was always giving her a hard time on everything.
---Next Day--
Sakura had managed to get up on time today. Touya had poured a cup of cold water on her, just to wake her up.
"HOE!!!" she squealed as the icy cold water impacted her skin.
"Your going to be late again!" Touya said.
"Oh... thanks..." Sakura thanked.
"I just wanted to say goodbye before I leave for Tokyo." Touya informed her.
"I'm going to miss you." Sakura said. 'In more ways then you can imagine.' she added to herself.
The two siblings embraced each other, "I think you should get ready for school." Touya told her quietly, "And Sakura, if anyone hurts you, just call me," handing her a piece of paper, "I'll come back as soon as I can."
Sakura nodded, taking the piece of paper that had a Touya's number on it. She ran into the washroom and got ready for school.
For the first time in weeks, she got to school with a bit of time to waste. She met up with Tomoyo and Meilin.
"Wow, Sakura! You got to school early today!" Tomoyo said scarcasticly.
Sakura smiled, "Touya left this morning for Tokyo and gave me a cup of cold water as a goodbye present."
Meilin chuckled, "So what's with you and my cousin?"
Sakura gaped at her, "Cousin?" she asked.
"Oh... I forgot I didn't tell you! Li Syaoran is one of my cousins." Meilin informed her.
"That jerk is your cousin?" Sakura yelped.
Meilin nodded, "I don't know why you would call him a jerk." she pointed out.
"He was totally rude and ignorant to me yesterday." Sakura explained.
"I don't know... he's cold but never rude and ignorant." Meilin told her.
As if on cue, Syaoran walked by. "Hi Tomoyo, hi Meilin." he greeted. He shot a icy glare at Sakura, which made her shiver.
"Hi!" they both said in unison.
He walked away and sat in his desk. Faye immediately ran up to him, just to say 'hello'.
Sakura stood their dumbfounded. 'Oh well...' she thought, 'Why would I even care if he greets me early in the morning or not!'
RIIINNNGG!!! Everyone went back to their seats and the first half of the morning went by smoothly. Even Sakura, could breathe easier that morning. She had learned to ignore the glares that Syaoran always gave her.
At lunch she sat down with same group she had always sat with. She greeted everyone with a happy smile. Sakura was busily talking to Tomoyo when she felt a cold, hard shadow towered upon her. She looked up and saw Syaoran.
"Umm... hi?" was all that she could answer.
"Listen, we need to finish up our science project. The sooner the better. So meet me after school at Penguin Park." Syaoran stated coldly and walked off.
"Whoa... Sakura, he has a major attitute problem around you!" Tomoyo inquired.
Sakura nodded tensely, she was so not looking foward to 3:00 this afternoon.
Sakura was sitting in her last period class, not wanting 3:00 to come. Unfortunately, she didn't have cheerleading practice that day, so she couldn't bail on Syaoran. Finally it was 3:00, Sakura's body tensed up when the bell had rung. 'This is not good.' she thought. As she walked to her locker and she took out some books and stuffed them inside her bag. She tried to walk as slowly as she could, but soon she was at Penguin Park. Syaoran was already there waiting for her.
"Took you long enough, Kinomoto." he said bluntly.
"Well... I..." Sakura started.
"Were you off with some guy?" Syaoran asked evilly.
Normally Sakura didn't mind these comments, but this time, it lit her anger. "I don't sleep around with guys! I've never even gone out with anyone!" she screamed. Tears started to form and slide down her cheek.
"Sure..." he said.
"What happened to you, Li Syaoran?" Sakura asked angrily, "You were so kind to me ten years ago!"
"Huh?" Syaoran looked at her, "I've never met you, and I would never want to. Its just that stupid science teacher that got me stuck with you." 'Who the hell does this girl think she is?' Syaoran thought. He never knew that anyone like her could ever exist on the face of the planet. But strangely enough, he felt something from her, something warm but he couldn't put his finger on it. 'I can't get too close to her.' Syaoran told himself, remembering what Faye had warned him about Sakura.
"You don't remember?" Sakura asked, tears slipping down her cheek. 'Stay strong...' she told herself.
"Why the hell should I? I don't even know what your even talking about!" Syaoran replied angrily, "Anyways, lets go to my apartment and finish our project, so you can get out of my face." He started to stomp off towards his apartment, but Sakura didn't move an inch. He swirled back to her, "Are you going to just stand there, or are you coming?"
Sakura finally snapped out of her trance and started to follow Syaoran. Suddenly they both heard two screams. They both looked up and saw two children dropping out of the sky, landing on both of them.
