Chapter 8: Li-kun's Lucky Get Away

It was another one of those typical days in math class (A/N: I should know, algebra gets so be so boring, you should see my English class…) that never seemed to catch Sakura's attention, and she would constantly fall asleep during class. Syaoran hadn't bothered waking her, just letting her dream away as he had done five years ago.

It's this dream again. Those same mountains and valleys. Wait, something's different, it was really sunrise after all. The pagoda hasn't changed. Someone is at the entrance of the shrine. It's Syaoran's mother. Beside her is Keroberoes and Yue. Syaoran is seated at the left beside Meiling and…Kaho? When was the last time she appeared in my dreams? Why would she be here? That same girl is still across from me. Her face is stone cold and somewhat angry. Then again, where exactly are we?

"Kinomoto-san, you're in class."

Sakura abruptly sat up. "Gomen ne." She hung her head low in embarrassment.

"Apology accepted. Sleep at home, not in class." Then Ms.Chien gave a sharp glare at Syaoran.

The chime for class ending rang. Sakura escaped to the Women's bathroom to refresh herself before her next class started. Unfortunately, a group of girls popped in.

"Kinomoto-san!"

Sakura turned around to face her classmates. "Hai?"

"What is your relationship with Li-san?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Obviously, everyone knows by now that you come to school with him AND go home with him after school."

"…So?"

"What is your relationship!"

"Tomodachi (Friends). I guess."

The head analyzed her carefully. "Is that all?"

"I suppose so. I'm just living with his family to study in China as an exchange student."

"No engagement? Like with Meiling?"

"Why would think that? Li-k—err…Li-san is an old childhood friend of mine." [Who confessed his love to me when we were ten.]

"That's it? You just live with him?"

Nod. Nod.

"Shanzying (good)!"

Sakura backed away, a bit disturbed by Syaoran's "fan club"

"So… what does he like to eat?"

"Eh?"

"You know, how he acts at home."

"No, I don't really know."

"Well he always acts so quiet and cool here."

"Isn't he always like that?"

"What does he wear? I mean we're always wearing these scarlet uniforms."

"Casual clothes I think…"

Syaoran's fan club stalked Sakura ALL day. She was quite exhausted to having answering endless questions about Li. Syaoran waited for Sakura by the curb and together they began to walk back to the Li residence.

"Syaoran-kun?"

"Hai?"

"You never told me you were class president of your homeroom last year."

"I don't feel proud about popularity contests."

"You were valedictorian last year as well."

"I don't like to brag either."

"I'm constantly being stalked by girls in class 9-A."

"They must be fond of you then."

"I don't think so. They have a thing for YOU, and they're trying to make me answer questions about what you do at home."

"What makes you say that?"

"They claim to be your official fan club, besides that, they're following us right NOW."

Syaoran glanced over his shoulder, "Kuso (Damn/Shit)." He began to walk faster.

"On the count of three, run and head for the well you fell into last time you were here."

"You mean the one near the market place?"

"Hai."

"Ichi."

"Ni."

"San!"

They whispered in unison and dashed straight for the market place in two separate directions. Sakura ran aimlessly through the East Side of Bird Street and Syaoran through the left. She passed the countless trinket shops pulling many sharp turns and swerves.

"I hope I can still remember this place…"

She found an opening past old tenements and building finally finding the shallow well. Syaoran was already there leaning against the wall catching his breath. Sakura sat next to him in bewilderment.

"You've become quite popular over the years…"

"Well basically…yes."

"Tell me. Have you dated any of these girls?"

"Eh?!"

"Have you?"

"Iie."

"Why not? They're very beautiful and interested in you."

" My Niang probably wouldn't allow it."

"Demo, what if she gave you permission to?"

"Let's go home now."

"Mou, you're avoiding the subject."

"It doesn't matter."

"Why won't you tell me?"

C'mon, Xiaolang think. What could you do to stop her from asking questions…?

There was a long silent pause. Syaoran faced Sakura and stared into her dark jade eyes. She gazed back paralyzed the way he stared at her. He placed his hands firmly on her shoulders, staring ever more so intently. Sakura's face grew warmer. A smirk came formed upon his lips.

"Tag! You're it!" and Syaoran ran like there was no tomorrow.

Sakura stood there in shock and disappointment. She finally recollected herself and ran after him.

A/N: so…what do you think? Kawaii ne? ^_^ *gets down on knees* Review Onegai! Make my day!
