~* Chapter 3 *~

I slowly opened my eyes to the smell of food. The first thing I heard was that unpleasant voice of Melin's, but the first thing I saw was a huge cockroach! (Thought I was gonna say Syaoran didn't ya?)

I jumped up to my feet and began screaming like a wild man as I took a few steps back. I looked all around to see everyone staring at me and Melin trying to hold in her laughter.

"Syaoran, go check on your burden," Rocky said resuming to cleaning his daggers.

"She's not a burden," Syaoran said walking over to me.

"Wait don't kill it!" I screamed before his foot landed on the cockroach. Syaoran looked at me confused. "Don't kill it, just get it away from me. I can't stand cockroaches!" I said still staring at the roach.

Syaoran stepped over the roach and gave me this really creepy smile. "Aww. you don't like roaches?" he asked in a taunting tone.

"No!" I shouted, not taking my eyes off the disgusting, sickening roach. Besides, if I did like roaches would I be panicking right now? Common sense people!

"Well, you don't want me to kill it so.I have an idea!" he cried.

I peeked up at him for a second and then back down to the roach. "What?" I asked him. I could hear some snickering from the rest of the group and well, curiosity kicked in and I looked back at Syaoran, who had his hands behind his back.

He took a step closer, that evil look sill on his face.

"Syaoran.wh-wh- I don't like that look." I took a step back and bumped into a tree. Darn, I'm trapped!

"I'll remove the roach and for all the trouble you were caused, I'll give you a little gift," he said taking a step closer to me.

I pushed my self more against the tree. My silly imagination was making me believe that at any moment the tree would let me pass through. "I don't think I wanna gift," I said shaking my head as he took a step closer.

"Of course you do S-Princess." he was only inches away from me now. He took my hand in one of his and brought his other hand around the palm of my hand.

My eyes widened as I felt something begin wriggling in my hand. At first I thought it was Syaoran's fingers but his all his fingers were visible. Then, my eyes drifted down to my pallet. The roach was gone!

My eyes widened wider, if that was humanly possible, and began to water. Then I bit my lip to keep from screaming. I tried pulling my hand away, but stopped because I didn't want to smash the roach and have bug goo on me and Syaoran pressed his hands tighter around mine.

(Ghetto Princess- You know that would be romantic if Syaoran didn't have a roach sandwiched in her hand. Binyaile and Jessica- runs around with their hands out screaming yuck and grossness.)

"He started laughing and my lips began to quiver. " Let go, this is so disgusting!" I cried or whined, doesn't matter, it was still gross.

Syaoran gave me a look of hurt. "You don't like my gift?" he asked pouting.

Oh mygosh! How could he ask such a stupid question? "No!" I shouted jumping a little (Ghetto Princess- you know.like a spoiled five-year old.). I could hear the group laughing now, but at the moment my main concern is getting Syaoran to let go of my hand and getting rid of the evil roach.

Syaoran began laughing and let go of my hand wit the.

(Tina- should have made it longer. Ghetto Princess- yeah, I know, but I gotta go study for the finals. Binyaile- OMG! Ghetto Princess learned a new word! Study! Runs around Ghetto Princess chanting 'Ghetto Princess is studying' over and over again. Ghetto Princess- picks up math book and throws it at Binyaile's head. OH YEAH! Right on target! Binyaile- rubs aching head. Tina- normally I would say that was harsh but in this case. Jessica- no, no Tina, it's still pretty much harsh. Ghetto Princess- nods head in agreement.)

"Caterpillar!" I yelled feeling my cheeks grow hot.

"Yeah, what did you think it was? A roach?" Syaoran asked setting the caterpillar on a leaf while laughing.

I could feel my right eye begin to twitch and my cheeks grew hotter from embarrassment as everyone busted out in a louder laugh. Of all the jokes that had ever been played on me that had to be the worst.

"Don't be mad at me, Sakura," Syaoran whispered in my ear. "It's just our way of showing you that we accept you in our family," he said out loud.

That still didn't make me feel any better, but wait until I give them my thanks. (Amber- you just had to make her mad didn't you? Glares at Ghetto Princess. Ghetto Princess- you had to admit I did good for an extremely short chapter. Jessica- Ghetto Princess! That had to be the most sickening thing I've ever read! It felt like a roach was really in my hand! Binyaile- mutters, you would know about that wouldn't you? Jessica- I heard that! Starts chasing Binyaile with a frying pan.)
