LIVING IT UP!
SAKURA LIEGH: Hey everyone I don't own CCS. That's all I have to say! READ ON AND ENJOY!
CHAPTER FOUR: Follow me home
Sakura turned away from Syaoran's blank look of confusion and Meiling's piercing dark eyes, "Oh Meiling I almost forgot to ask you if you were coming to my concert tonight."
"YOU ARE HAVING A CONCERT? WAY OUT!!!" Meiling squealed in delight the seriousness of their discussion was pushed to the back of their minds.
"A concert? I didn't know you were into music," Syaoran asked shifting Mai in his arms and approaching the two girls, "Do you think that I could maybe...uh... Maybe I could come with?"
"I don't see why not..." Meiling piped up immediately, "I mean Tomoyo and Eriol are coming too aren't they?"
"Yea they are, if I can find them...... Syaoran I'd be glad for you to come, I was going to ask but I don't really know you that well so I was thinking it'd be weird and I REALLY didn't want your girly thing coming with us..." Sakura blushed, "That's kinda superficial eh?"
Syaoran smiled, "No it's fine and totally understandable! So time and place, or do I just follow you around?"
'Syaoran following me around? What is the bad side of this...' Sakura blushed at her thoughts and handed him a card
MoonRidge Café 'Ragged Blossom' Concert 6-8 pm 667 124 2234
"You are playing in the same club as Ragged Blossom? Isn't she that new singer? The one just getting popular?" Syaoran asked with innocent curiosity
"I am...." Sakura started but Meiling clapped a hand over her mouth.
Meiling grinned her eyes shining with contained mirth, "Let him find out on his own..."
"Find out what?" Syaoran asked suspiciously.
"N-Nothing!" Meiling said bursting into giggles, "You'll find out tonight!"
Syaoran grinned and passed Mai to Meiling, "Well we better find Tomoyo and my obnoxious cousin... Come on Sakura lets go!"
Sakura gave Mai a smile and Meiling a lopsided half smile before following Syaoran, "Hey you ass! Wait for me!!"
Syaoran laughed at her joking teen and continued his loping jog keeping slightly ahead just annoying her, "You're going to have to catch me first!"
"Why you!!" Sakura put on a burst of speed chasing the laughing Syaoran as he raced for the ice cream shop down the block where she was to meet Eriol and Tomoyo.
Syaoran was shocked that Sakura could run this fast he was breathing hard and she hadn't even broken into a sweat. He was muscular from hard hours of working out, But Sakura was keeping up with him easily. It was awfully hot, and he was only in a t-shirt; Syaoran glanced back at Sakura, the same Jean jacket, did she NEVER take it off? You'd think the girl had scars or a deformity on her arms, that jacket was surgically attached to her body!
~
Meiling sighed in the distance, "I hope you know what your doing Syaoran, Sakura isn't a girl to dangle on a string like the others. Respect is one thing, loving some one is another, whether you respect them or not." Then she turned toting the smiling yet half asleep Mai towards their three-room apartment.
~
"Hey Sakura why don't you take your jacket off?" Syaoran asked quietly when their race had slowed to a companionable walk.
Sakura stuttered her answer, "Well I - uh you'll see."
Syaoran shook his head in frustrated excitement, "What is it that you guys know that I don't????"
Sakura actually smiled at him, the same smile Mai had earned with her innocence Syaoran had earned for the warm feeling he caused in her, "You'll see soon enough."
Syaoran felt heat rush through him as she smiled, but the smile was gone as fast as it came, Syaoran was so glad to have earned this one, "Well here we are! MIKATO'S ICE CREAM SALON."
Sakura laughed at his bravado and false announcer voice, "Come on you goof let's go inside."
"HEY GUYS IVER HERE!" Tomoyo's arms waved above a booth in the far corner.
Sakura and Syaoran made their way over.
Tomoyo grinned impishly, "We heard all about the scene in the park today. Way to show her Sakura! And Syaoran we knew Merrin was bad news from the start you should have listened."
"I know," Syaoran sighed, "I guess I just wanted to fit in and so I didn't see what was really there. Thanks for helping me realize Sakura."
"No problem," Sakura gave him her little half smile then turned to the other two, "So you guys are coming for sure right?"
"Of course!" Tomoyo cried out as though it was the simplest thing ever, "And your wearing the outfit I made right?"
Sakura smiled on the inside, it was as though she had been friends with them forever instead of just a week. After she'd been moved here she was afraid they would be hostile, see her for the slut she was. But that hadn't happened, she'd already scored a contract with Eriol's sister's music company and was doing well. She loved the music she did and she knew that was the career for her. At school she wore her jacket because as lenient as the rules were here they still didn't appreciate tattoos and the ones she had were best kept under wraps.
Sakura smiled, "So Syaoran I'll see you after the show ok? And Tomoyo I'll see you backstage, I'm going home to rehearse."
"Well where do you live? I'll walk you," Syaoran started to stand
Sakura's eyes widened, "NOO!!! I mean - uh - No thank you I'm fine!"
Syaoran was shocked, he decided to follow her and find out what was causing her to act this way.
Sakura wandered through the streets walking one way then turning down a street and heading the opposite direction. She seemed to not want to be seen as she was walking in the shadows and keeping to dark alleys. Eventually they reached a large building and Sakura entered through the back door. Syaoran wandered around to look at the front and to his shock and surprise saw it was Tomeoda Orphanage! The one right across the street from his apartment complex!
He looked up and saw Sakura staring out the window. A look of shock appeared across her face and she disappeared.
Syaoran looked for a while longer making a show of focusing on the other windows as he had hers, he knew she was watching, then he made sure she watched him enter his apartment complex, he didn't want her to think he'd been following her. Even though that was exactly what he'd been doing.
~
Sakura watched until he disappeared into the apartment building across the street.
'Thank god I don't think he saw me! If he did he'd never speak to me again, none of them would!' Sakura sighed, 'Imagine top class Tomeodans hanging out with some one like me! A low class slut from Hong Kong! Hah! That's a laugh!'
She lay on her bed for a while; she still had time before her concert, not much though.
'It's funny I thought he'd followed me home, but that can't be because Meiling lives next door.... He must have been visiting. Either that or he lives there too which makes sense... Well at least he didn't see me..."
SAKURA LEIGH: Well everyone what did you think? I was going to make it shorter but then I worked my fingers off to give you this much. Tomorrow's should be longer though so don't worry. It's Sakura's concert!!! Ja!
