IN HIS EYES

Disclaimer: Okay I shall say this right here and now-I do not own any of the CCS chara's CLAMP © are the wonderful people that do :D
A/N: Okay thanks again for the reviews! ^_^ May I also add that adding the whole "Bet" scenario in would make it more difficult for Syaoran to deal with, and I have quite a few ideas on how to loop this story up now-which I am happy with! ^_^ yay well here's my next chapter!
Chapter five- The bet begins.
Dear Journal,
I am such a fool! I have made a bet that I know I will surely lose! I am writing this just before I head to school-argh! The bet is starting today.the bet I made was.I am to make friends with the girl Kinomoto. Friends?! That is crazy-no beyond crazy! Me friends with her? But I cannot back out of this bet now.but the thing is I am not entirely sure on how one acts towards a friend.how do you be "nice"? Everyone else seems to know how to be nice to one another-all except me.I feel alone. This is mother's fault! She was the one that insisted that I concentrate on my training.not on anything else-just training.now I do not know how to act upon these predicaments.I am in trouble. But what am I to do? Well I better go-school and torture awaits me.

Syaoran Li (Little Wolf)
He stared long and hard at what he had wrote in his journal. With one satisfied look he closed it and made his way downstairs. He hoped his journey to school would be long.
*
He hopped out of the black limousine avoiding the puddle of water just underneath the car slightly. Meiling then followed suit.
'Have a nice day you two,' Wei smiled heartily.
'You too,' Meiling replied happily.
Wei glanced at Syaoran only to see him already walking away from the car. Wei chuckled. 'I guess he doesn't like to say good-bye? Well I'll pick you two up after school okay?'
Meiling nodded and watched the limo drive away into the distance. Meiling then hurriedly ran to catch up to Syaoran.
'Syaoran why must you always be so impatient? Why not wait for me?' she asked now walking besides him once more.
Syaoran answered back coldly, 'because you are so slow and waste your time saying good-bye to people. Wei is here to drop us off at school not to have a social conversation with us!'
Meiling hated it when he said things like that. He had a way of making words sound ten times worse then they could. Maybe it was just him? Meiling felt her eyes begin to get wet. She held back the tears that wanted to escape her eyes. 'Syaoran.I wish.I wish you would be nice.if I had one wish I wish for that,' a tear escaped her and Syaoran saw it. She was hurt. She then ran down the corridor feeling very hurt.
Syaoran sighed. No matter how much he hated to admit this-he hated to see his cousin cry. It made him feel bad. He gradually made it to his locker and began taking out the books required for his lessons. Takashi came waltzing down the corridor and gave Syaoran a playful punch on his shoulder.
'Hey Li,' he chuckled. 'Is it still on?' he asked eagerly.
'Is what on?' he decided to play dumb.
Takashi gave a discouraging look. 'You know-the bet?'
'Oh.that,' he rolled his eyes.
'Well?' Takashi waited for the answer tapping his foot impatiently.
'.Yes.' he sighed.
'Great-well it starts today you know. And I want you to approach her at recess and lunch!' he winked.
Syaoran sighed. 'Whatever.' he slammed the locker shut and then pushed past Takashi aggressively. Syaoran was in a mood that surely no one would want to talk to; he was that scary right now. He was so mad that it was hard to imagine that one person could get that mad. He was blind with fury. He was mad at himself, everyone, Sakura, Takashi even Ryo for no reason. He wasn't paying attention in where he was storming to. He smashed right into- 'Kinomoto!' he growled. Sakura bowed.
'Sorry Li-kun-I'm in a hurry once more,' she smiled. But that smile was soon erased as she saw how mad he was. 'What's wrong Li?'
'None of your business!' he retorted. As soon as he said this he found himself gazing into her emerald eyes.just staring. They seemed to calm him down somehow. His breathing had slowed down to normal and his heart wasn't pumping with adrenaline any more.
'Li-kun?' she asked, wondering why he stared at her weirdly.
He snapped out of his daze. 'K-Kinomoto.I must go!' he applied his rough voice again and then dashed down the corridor without further a due.
'Bye.?' she whispered quietly. Why had he given her a weird look like that? She noticed that he had calmed down though. She quite liked his eyes as a matter of fact-they were a peculiar color-amber. Not a very common eye color. She sighed and then went to meet up with Tomoyo in Japanese lessons.
*
The bell rang signaling for everyone to go out for recess brake. Syaoran slowly made his way out of math's class. He was in no hurry to get out to recess. That was the first time in his life that he felt that he wanted to stay in class or wish for it not to end. But there was no delaying time. He exited the class to find Takashi standing there waiting for him.
'Here you're going to be hungry otherwise,' he handed Syaoran a packet of chips, a bottle of coke and a custard pie.
'Err.' he replied not sure why he would be buying him food.
'You could at least say thanks.'
Thank you was not usually heard from Syaoran he very rarely said that word and avoided saying it at all costs. He just nodded.
Takashi rubbed his hands together in excitement. 'Well the bet begins Li.this way now.' Takashi ushered him outside and they began their search for the auburn haired girl named Sakura. Syaoran prayed that Sakura wouldn't be found or maybe she became ill and went home or something. But he knew it was highly unlikely. And he was right; she was seen with her friend named Tomoyo and-Meiling once more.
'Ha ha! She's there-well I'm going to watch from afar, you just go and speak with her-go on! He shoved Syaoran forwards.
'Okay, okay!' he hissed.
What the hell am I supposed to do? I cannot just walk over there and start acting all happy chappy! This is stupid and pointless.I have to make her my friend.that would take time.maybe I should invite her over after school as well.spend time with her? Argh listen to myself! This is not me!
He debated with himself countless times before he finally decided to make his way over to her. Sakura must have seen him approach her as he saw her give him a heart warming smile.
'Hiya Li-kun,' she giggled.
'H-hi.' he said embarrassedly. This felt so wrong and stupid at the same time. He looked up to see Meiling give him a curious look.
'And what do you want Mr. I'm to good to talk to anyone?' Meiling played around.
'I-I.I came over to ask.to ask if I could join you for recess?!' he flustered.
'Sure,' Sakura smiled confidently, gesturing for him to take a seat next to her on the grass.
He felt highly uncomfortable at this state, but did as he was told. He could not lose the bet, it would also mean losing his dignity. He sat down next to Sakura on the grass.
'So what really brings you here?' Meiling queried.
'Can't I say hello to you Meiling? Or Kinomoto.or whatever that girls name is!' he pointed to Tomoyo.
'It's rude to point Syaoran-and her name is Daidouji, Tomoyo.' She introduced her.
Tomoyo giggled finding this amusing. 'Hi Li.'
'Err yeah hi.' he mumbled. He felt a little at unease around his cousin too, as he had made her cry beforehand and she would've said something to Sakura and Tomoyo by now.
'Why are you here?' Meiling pushed the subject again.
He shot her an angry glance. 'Because I feel like it! And besides-err- Takashi and Ryo are annoying me!'
'Aren't we annoying to you too? Oh wait everyone is annoying to you Syaoran,' Meiling said smugly.
Before Syaoran could answer back to that Sakura decided to step in. 'Look guys calm down. Who cares why he is-' she gave Meiling a look which was quite readable as if saying, "Do you want me to help Syaoran?". 'Here. Let's just all learn to get along with one another 'kay?'
Syaoran nodded. 'Yes I agree with Kinomoto.'
'WHAT?!' Meiling gawked at her cousin.
Sakura just smiled. Syaoran was agreeing with her. That was a good sign. Tomoyo found this very amusing and sat there giggling at how "kawaii" this whole scene was to her. She finally saw a couple. Sakura and Syaoran. She liked it very much and found it adorable.
'You heard me! I am sick and tired of feuding I wish to just err-' he gulped. This sounded so terribly wrong coming from him. 'Get along.' he sighed after finishing the sentence.
Meiling stared at Syaoran. This was so not like him. "Get along" with people? It was either they abide to his rules or get lost!
'Syaoran Li what is wrong with you?!' Meiling yelled, loosing it.
'Nothing!' he said haughtily.
'Meiling-chan is it not good for him to want to talk to us?' Sakura rationalized.
'I-I guess.' and after that Meiling remained silent for the rest of recess while Sakura attempted to make conversation with Syaoran.
When the recess bell rang, Meiling took off at full speed. Tomoyo started back to class too and Sakura began to follow too. But something stopped her. Someone was pulling on her sleeve. She turned around to stare into a pair of amber eyes.
'Li?'
'Kinomoto-san, I wish for you to come over after school.' He said not so much asking more demanding then anything.
'Me-come over? Sure why not?' she smiled. Syaoran was taken aback by her tone of easiness, but loosed up when he looked in her eyes.
'Um-yeah my limousine will pick us all up 'kay?' he muttered feeling so stupid.
'Sure, see ya Li-kun.' She giggled and then hurriedly made her way to her next lesson.
Straight after she had gone out of sight Takashi came jogging up to him. 'So how did it go?'
'Fine!' he snapped, he was so mad at himself. He had invited her over! Why? All because of a stupid bet! 'I-I invited her over after school.' he muttered also.
'Really? Hmm maybe I made this bet too easy.'
'N-no! it's hard enough as it is!'
'Just kidding!' he punched him on the shoulder. 'Well come on Biology class is awaiting us!' he chuckled.

~Sakura's POV~
Sakura couldn't believe it. Syaoran had been "nice" today. Well considerably nice that is.although she felt he had asked her a little forcingly. But he had "asked her" to go over his house after school, and that was purely some gesture to a start of friendship. Well at least she saw it that way.
She smiled happily during class, she was happy about this. She was glad that she was helping Syaoran out, although he may not know that, he was slowly going to learn the meaning of friendship and kindness.
~Syaoran's POV~
Syaoran waited at the front once more. But this time Sakura would be coming because he had "invited" her too come. He kicked a pebble in an annoyed way, watching it skip across the asphalt.
Why did I invite her? There is definitely something wrong with me.I was a bit too soft today.wait did I just think soft? Soft? That is not me!
'Li-kun!' Sakura giggled running up to him. She slowed down to a stop in front of him. 'Hello.' Shortly after that sentence Meiling came in eye view.
'Hi.' he said and turned around avoiding her eyes. Her "evil eyes" he referred to them. He hated her eyes-so manipulating to him. The way she could make him calm down.
'Hi Syaoran.' Meiling said in a rather sad tone. She then walked by him and hopped into the limousine.
'Huh--.what's wrong with her?' he accidentally asked out loud.
'She is upset about what you said to her this morning.' Sakura replied to him.
'What?' he realized he had said that out loud and then began to blush slightly. 'Oh.well get in the car Kinomoto!' he quickly changed the subject. Sakura did as she was told and hopped in taking a seat next to Meiling. Syaoran then entered sitting opposite of the girls. He just stared out of the window avoiding Sakura's eyes.
I wish I had never invited her over-but I must win my bet! I must.I wish she wouldn't stare at me.and what's with Meiling.did I really upset her so much? I think I'll have to talk with her later on tonight I guess.
Syaoran was dreading when they were to arrive at his house. This time it was "him" that had invited her over-not Meiling, him.
'We're here,' Wei said out loud. And much to Syaoran's distaste Wei was right. The car was parked in the driveway waiting for him to enter his house. He sighed and got out of the car making his way inside with Sakura..he realized he could be in trouble here..
