LIVING IT UP!
CHAPTER THREE: IT'S OVER!
A week had passed and Sakura was doing well, she had top marks in every class, she was an excellent cheerleading captain, their routine was coming along great and they would definitely be ready for Regionals. Her friendship with Tomoyo and Eriol was growing as was the one with her new friend Meiling, she wore the same gothic type clothes as Tomoyo except more revealing than Tomoyo, and she tended to wear more chains and spikes. The ruby-eyed girl and Sakura had become fast friends after meeting on the cheerleading team. Meiling was there because Tomoyo was. And Tomoyo was there with Rika, Chiharu, and Naoko. Sakura was happy to say that out of all the girls who tried out none of them, barring Merrin herself, were from Merrin's group. It was after school on Friday and Sakura was trying to find peace for once as her nightmares were showing no sign of slowing.
She walked along with her skateboard under her arm, she wanted to just take in the scenery this afternoon seeing as she had plenty of time...
"What the hell do you want?" Sakura asked, she really didn't want to deal with this now. "This" was Merrin with her gang of girls, and they didn't look happy.
"Now you listen up, Kinymioto," Merrin spat, "I..."
Sakura walked by cutting her off, "It's Kinomoto, and please don't talk, that time your brain cell will finally catch up to your mouth. Must be lonely, the poor thing, spending your entire life alone, its too bad really..."
Then she kept walking ignoring blonde, blondie, blonder, and blondest.
"Arrrrrrgh!" Merrin stamped her foot, "That girl makes me so mad.
Just then a girl with black hair and red eyes walked by, she looked about 4 years old. Perfect punching bag, Merrin stuck out her foot and as expected tripped the poor girl. She started to fall...
Merrin watched with eager eyes to see the little slut fall and cry, but she didn't. At the last second a hand shot out and caught her. Merrin looked up and glared at the one who'd caught her: SAKURA!! Oh that Bitch was gonna pay!
"Are you ok?" Sakura asked the little girl kindly, the little girl nodded, Sakura, turned her angry green eyes on Merrin, "What is your problem she's just a little kid! God could you stoop any lower?!?"
"Ya but then I would be you," Merrin replied snidely.
Sakura glared, "Last I checked I wasn't the one tripping little kids!"
"Fuck you! You stupid bitch!" Merrin screamed and she shoved her way past roughly, knocking the little girl over for real this time. The little girl hit the ground hard and her knees began to bleed, she started crying, a long sobbing wail.
Sakura lifted the girl easily into her arms, "Shhh, its ok! Hush, it's ok now. That mean old lady isn't gonna hurt you anymore ok? Now lets see your knees ok? Oh wow! You're so brave, that must hurt? But you're so tough, even I couldn't handle that!" Sakura grinned, "Wanna see some magic? Ok watch."
Sakura used slight of hand to make a sucker appear in her hand she held it in front of the little girl and while the girl was distracted she wiped the blood away and applied to hello kitty band-aides. One on each knee, "There you go. And you can have this."
"Wow, it don't hurt no more!" The girl hugged Sakura around the neck from her position in Sakura's arms, "You really are magic. Maybe you're an angel! Mamma is always telling me I've got a guardian angel!" She smiled brightly, "Is this really for me?"
Sakura smiled and nodded kindly, "It sure is!"
"Oh my god Mai! Are you alright?" Syaoran came running to their side, "Are you hurt?"
Sakura turned to her classmate, "Syaoran do you know her?"
"She's my niece!" Syaoran cried, "I've been watching her for my sister Meiling, she's in our year and she thought she'd bring her daughter to school with her but she had detention after so I took her - I only left for a second... What happened Mai?"
"Your girlfriend happened, she tripped Mai, I caught her before she hit the ground, but that pissed your little ditz off and she shoved her again. I wasn't fast enough the second time, I'm sorry."
Syaoran stared at Sakura she looked genuinely sorry, and he could tell from the way Mai was nodding in an all knowing way that it was true, "Don't worry, you did your best. And Merrin knew I was bringing my niece today! Do you mind holding Mai for a second?"
Sakura watched in shock as Syaoran stormed across the park courtyard and tapped Merrin on the shoulder, "Merrin, remember how I told you I was bringing my niece to school today?"
"Of course sweetie!" Merrin bubbled, "And I can't wait to meet the little darling!"
"You already did," Sakura walked over, "This is Mai your boyfriend's niece, the girl you shoved TWICE!"
"Now stop your lying you little hoe!" Merrin her voice was icy, "I did no such thing! You were the one who shoved her!!"
"Did I now?" Sakura smiled in triumph, "Well if that's the case Mai would you please point to the lady who pushed you?"
Mai's little hand shot up and pointed at Merrin, "Her! She did it! She pushed me and she was callin the angel lady bad names!"
"Merrin it's over. I can't believe you would sink to the level of beating up little kids!" Syaoran growled, "Never come near me or any one in my family again! Got it?"
Sakura placed Mai into Syaoran's arms, "See ya Mai, bye Syaoran." She turned to walk away.
"Wait! I was wondering if your not too busy maybe you'd like to go for ice cream with Mai and me?"
"Well sure I guess..." Sakura gasped, "Oh no I promised I'd do something with Tomoyo and Eriol... I'm sorry!"
"Eriol? He's my cousin, I'm supposed to meet him anyway! I completely forgot because of the thing with Mai!" Syaoran grinned at Sakura, she was really attractive especially when she smiled. Of the week he'd known her she had only smiled at Mai. Sometimes when she was pleased with herself her mouth would lift on one side in a sort of sexy smirk but other wise, nothing showed on Sakura's face. Her eyes were the only way of telling her emotions, he could drown in those eyes, like he was now...
"Syaoran? Syaoran? Are you ok?" She waved her hand in front of his face, "Any one there?"
"Huh what?" Syaoran snapped out of his trance.
Sakura smiled at him, an actual smile, one no one not even Tomoyo had ever gotten. He was beginning to think that children were the best thing for one's love life...
"I was saying do you wanna walk with me? Maybe all five of us could go for ice cream..." She asked. She felt herself warming to this guy, he had been kind to her, barring the skateboard thing but that wasn't mean, and he seemed nice enough... Sakura unlike many other rape victims, did not despise all of the male gender, she simply didn't enjoy physical contact with anyone. It brought back the memories, all of them...
SAKURA LIEGH: Hey guys well I'm going to stop there... JUST KIDDING! Here's some more:
"It sounds like a plan!" Syaoran smiled, he could feel a slight blush on his cheeks.
Sakura winked playfully, "Don't worry about it everyone zones out once in a while! So what were you daydreaming about?"
His face reddened more, Mai looked up in worry, "Uncle? Are you ok? You look like a topato!"
"Tomato, sweetie," A voice said from behind them, "But your right, he does indeed."
"Meiling! Hi!" Sakura wheeled around her half smile in place, "Syaoran mentioned her mother being Meiling but I didn't think you... How did someone like you have a daughter like her. She so pretty, a little carbon copy now that I look, although she is slightly shorter, not by much though..."
Meiling laughed lightly, Sakura and her joked around like this a lot, "Look whose talking your not the tallest person in the world."
"So I'm 5'6" at least I'm not 5'1"!" Sakura said grinning, "Plus I'm better balanced this way!"
"So who's the father, I mean you are rather young..." Sakura began but then she knew, the darkening of Meiling's eyes spoke a million words.
"Some stories are better left untold," Meiling said in a monotone, she noticed the recognition in Sakura's eyes.
Sakura knew Meiling was reading the painful recognition in her eyes but she couldn't hold it back, her eyes were a mirror to the soul, most didn't notice, you had to see the evil in some one else's eyes while they hurt you to be able to read the emotions in people's eyes accurately. It was almost liking speaking mind to mind, Sakura's voice gave nothing away when she spoke though, "You're right, sometimes nothing needs to be said to understand. I know the silent way better than most."
"How old were you?" Meiling asked quietly.
Sakura sighed, "Seven."
Meiling's eyes held the shocked horror of understanding, "There is more to this story isn't there?"
"Some stories are better left untold," Sakura replied, but Meiling knew what had happened, it would take Syaoran seconds to decode their conversation, the silence was over. Hopefully "he" never found out. She wasn't sure if she could take anymore.
SAKURA LEIGH: So whatcha think? Syaoran's gonna find out pretty soon... Wait never mind I did not just mean to spoil a major part of the next chapter.... AH! Shouldn't have said that! I shouldn't have said that! R&R EVERYONE!!
