glad that you did!! ^__^ I'll try to update more often. Sorry about updating late again. I
didn't get to go near the computer this week. Gomen. -_- Well, enough of my talking. On
with the ficcy!! =^o^= Oh, but before we start, here's a short summary of what's
happened lately. Maybe it'll clear some things up too..
-----------
Summary: Okay. So, Sakura was going out with this guy named David.
They had
been going out for about a week. At this point, Syaoran had began feeling
hopeless.
Suddenly, when he feels like there's nothing left for him, he finds
out that they had
broken up. After he finds this out, there's a sudden burst of happiness
and hope. The day
after their break-up, Syaoran realizes how easily it is to lose Sakura
to someone else, so
he planned on asking Sakura out at lunch. Before he gets a chance to
see her, John and
Syaoran have a little talk. As always, John motivates him to ask her
out. After their
conversation, Syaoran coincedentally bumps into Tomoyo. As he is walking
with her, he
asks her about the latest gossip. At first, everything seems normal,
until Tomoyo tells him
that Sakura is already going out with someone new, completely devastating
Syaoran.
AN: Okay, now...I just wanted to clear something up. I'm not sure if
everyone
understands Sakura's plan to break Syaoran's heart. Well, we know how
Syaoran had a
new girlfriend almost every day or week. Since he does this to break
the hearts of girls',
Sakura decided that she should do the same thing to him. So...she starts
going out with
different guys, and she goes out with someone new quickly so that Syaoran
can't get to
her. The plan is if Syaoran can't get Sakura as easily as he thought,
he'll eventually
develop feelings for her, so the more guys Sakura goes out with, the
more Syaoran's
feelings will be hurt. That way, Syaoran will know what it feels like
to have his heart
broken. I hope this cleared things up if anyone was confused about
why Sakura was
moving so fast. If you're still confused, you can contact me via email
or MSN or AIM
messenger. Okayzies? Now, on with the story!! ^^

King of Hearts- Chapter 7
By: Sapphie

// After lunch- In class \\
Syaoran slouched in his chair, feeling like he was ripped off. Throughout
class, he
couldn't help but reply the words "Sakura and Blake" over and over
in his head.
'I can't believe it. She's going out with...Blake.' he thought.
'Why? Out of all the
guys to go out with, why Blake? I hate his damn guts!' Unconsiously,
he curled his hand
into a tight fist. Realizing what he was doing, he ceased and slouched
in his chair more.
After class ended, he went to his locker to get some books. While he
was there, his
wandering eyes found Sakura. She was with some of her cheerleader friends.
He couldn't
believe she already had a new boyfriend. As he closed his locker, he
slowly shook his
head, feeling hopeless. He slung his bag over his shoulder and walked
towards the
parking lot. Then, as if he wasn't tortured enough, he saw Sakura again.
It appeared that
she was waiting for someone. He decided to walk over and say hi.
"Hey, Sakura." Syaoran said, plastering on a smile on his face.
"Oh hi, Syaoran." she said, smiling.
"Waiting to get picked up, huh?"
"Yeah."
"By who? Your brother?" he asked curiously. Soon, a red convertible
pulled up near
Sakura and the window was rolled down. Sakura smiled and shook her
head.
"No. My boyfriend, Blake." she said. "I gotta go now. Bye, Syaoran."
Without waiting for a reply from Syaoran, she got into the car. She
leaned over and gave
Blake a sweet kiss. Syaoran felt himself turn red in the face. He quickly
calmed himself
down so Sakura would be unaware of his feelings. Sakura looked at Syaoran
and smile.
As the car drove away, Sakura waved goodbye. Now feeling angry, Syaoran
walked over
to his car. When getting into his car, he slammed the door shut. Just
as he was about to
pull out, someone knocked at his dark tinted windows. He lowered it
to find Tomoyo
there, out of breath. Syaoran immediately turned off the engine.
"Tomoyo! What's wrong?" Syaoran asked worriedly.
"That's what I was going to ask you." Tomoyo said in between breaths.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"What's wrong? I saw you before you got into your car. You were beet
red! You looked
like you'd run off killing people!! What happened? And don't you dare
lie to me. You
know that I can see right through you, so talk." Tomoyo said firmly.
Syaoran rolled his
eyes and let out a sigh.
"Fine. I'll tell you. Get in the car. Let's go to my place. I don't
want to tell you here.
Rumors will spread like crazy if I tell you here." he said, reluctance
in his voice.
"Okay." Tomoyo said. She walked around the back of the car and got into
the passenger
side of the car. Syaoran started the car and pressed the button that
lowered the covering
of his shiny black convertible. In about 15 minutes, they were at Syaoran's
house.
// In Syaoran's room \\
Syaoran threw his bag on the floor and threw himself on his cushiony
bed. Tomoyo sat in
a bean bag chair and made herself comfortable.
"So, Syaoran. Spill. What happened?" Tomoyo began.
"Nothing...it was just-"
"Oh, please. Don't try and tell me it was nothing! What the hell happened
that made you
so mad?" Tomoyo said with a stern voice. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay. I was mad because of Blake." Syaoran said.
"Why? What did he ever do to you?" she asked curiously. "He's like the nicest guy."
"Yeah, right. Nicest guy my ass."
"Why are you acting like this? I mean, I know there's people you hate,
but why do seem
to resent him?"
"Well, you don't know this, but Blake and I go way back. We've always
been rivals."
Syaoran explained.
"Oh, really? Please, tell me more!" Tomoyo said, trying to hide her
excitement. Syaoran
chuckled a bit and shook his head.
"Okay. Well, here's the full story. Blake is the second richest guy
I know, next to me, of
course. His family and I have been at it for a long time. We've always
competed with
each other. Like, in first grade, everyone like drawing of a dinosaur
better than mine, but
then I drew a big T-Rex and everyone liked mine more. It's always been
that way since
we were little. If he did or had something good, I would always do
or get better. And if I
got or did something better, then he would get or do it better. He
used to live in Hong
Kong when we were younger, but one year, when he was like 11, he moved
to Japan. So,
for a while, I wasn't competing with him, but when I came here, I saw
him again. So, as
you can guess, we started competing with each other again. We were
even rivals in
sports. Now, we're rivals in dating. That's part of the reason why
I'm trying to date every
girl in Ling High School. Blake is almost there. He has three more
girls to go out with,
and I only have one, but as you can see, I'm not doing very well. And
she's going out
with some now; she's going out with Blake. Of all the guys in the world
to go out with,
she had to pick my arch enemy!!Aargghh!! It's so god damn annoying."
Tomoyo just sat there, still trying to absorb every word he said.
"Oh my god!! No wonder you got so mad!! I had no idea!" Tomoyo said,
almost
speechless.
"Well, now you know. And this better not be going around the school tomorrow!!"
"Don't worry. I won't." Tomoyo said.
"Okay, good." Syaoran said. "Well, now that that's overwith, you want
me to give a ride
home. Do you need me to give you a ride home?"
"Actually, would you mind if I stayed here and did my homework?" Tomoyo asked.
"No, I don't mind." Syaoran said, smiling. Tomoyo smiled back.
"See, this is the Li Syaoran that everyone should know. The nice, caring,
and super sweet
Syaoran instead of the conceited, 'I'm the greatest' Syaoran." Tomoyo
said, a bit of a
whining tone in her voice.
"Well, only you'll be the only one who can see this side of me. Everyone
else can kiss my
ass." Syaoran remarked. Tomoyo giggled and shook her head. "I'm gonna
make
something to eat. Want something?"
"No, thanks. Could I just have water?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure." he replied. He got off the bed and walked towards the door.
Just as he was about
to grab the doorknob, someone knocked on his door. Syaoran and Tomoyo
jumped in
their skin. It was so sudden that they got startled. With one hand
over his heart, Syaoran
opened the door. Sudden, Syaoran found someone hugging him in a tight
embrace.
"Syaoran!! I've missed you soooo much!!" he heard a girl say. He immediately
smiled
when he heard the girl's voice.
"Meilin! I missed you too!" Syaoran said, hugging her back. Tomoyo got
up from the
bean bag chair.
"Eww, Meilin! You can't say 'hi' to me anymore?" Tomoyo said jokingly.
Meilin
released Syaoran from her embrace and went to hug Tomoyo.
"Hi, Tomoyo. I've missed you a lot." Meilin said. Tomoyo smiled.
"I've missed you a lot too. Tomoeda wasn't the same without you." she
said. Suddenly,
they heard someone clearing their voice. Meilin turned around and suddenly
blushed.
"Oh my god! I'm sooo sorry!! I didn't mean to leave you out!!" Meilin
said. She walked
over to the tall handsome man that stood at the doorway. Meilin took
his hand and pulled
him into the room. "Syaoran, Tomoyo, this is my boyfriend, Hiro." Meilin
introduced.
"Hello." Hiro greeted with a smile.
"Hello." Syaoran and Tomoyo said in unison. Meilin smiled happily. Tomoyo
turned to
Meilin.
"Meilin, I'm so glad you're back, but I was just wondering...why
are you back? I
thought you were supposed to stay in Hong Kong."
"I am staying in Hong Kong, but my school is undergoing reconstruction
and it won't be
done for a month, so I asked my mom if could stay here for a month.
So, my mom said
yes, and...here I am!!"
Tomoyo's face lit up.
"Oh my god!! That's so great!!! I had no idea that you'd be coming back!!
If I knew you
were coming back, I would've come pick you up at the airport."
"It's okay. No one except Syaoran and Wei know that my boyfriend I were
coming."
Meilin explained. Tomoyo gave Syaoran a glare.
"How come you didn't tell me?? Why didn't you tell me she was coming
back??"
Tomoyo asked Syaoran. Syaoran just smirked.
"Like Meilin said, it was a surprise." Syaoran said simply. Meilin chuckled a bit.
"Well, where are they staying?" Tomoyo asked.
"They're staying in the guest rooms." Syaoran answered.
"Oh, cool. That's great!" Tomoyo said. She glanced at her diamond studded
watch. It
was 4:32 pm. "Well, guys, I better get going. We're having guests over
tonight." she said.
"Oh, okay. Then I'll see you tomorrow." Syaoran said.
"Okay," she said. " Thanks for letting me stay over." She turned to
Meilin. "Welcome
back, Meilin. I'm so happy to see you again." she said with a smile.
"I'm so glad I got to see you again." Meilin said. They hugged each
other warmly. After
letting go, Tomoyo shook hands with Hiro.
"It was nice meeting you." Tomoyo said politely.
"The pleasure was all mine." Hiro said with a smile.
With that, Tomoyo left.
After Tomoyo left, everyone took a seat on Syaoran's bed.
"So, you're the King of Hearts. Meilin told me about you." Hiro said.
Syaoran tried not to
blush.
"Well, I'm almost the King of Hearts." Syaoran said.
"What do you mean? You didn't go out with every girl yet?" Meilin asked
in shock.
Syaoran hung his head a bit.
"No...not yet." Syaoran said.
"Why not?" Hiro asked.
"Well, I was about to be King of Hearts, but then this new girl
transferred to our
school. At first, I thought it would be easy to go out with her, but
I thought wrong. She
wwent out with this guy David and broke up with him yesterday. And
let me tell ya, she's
a fast one. She already has a new boyfriend." Syaoran said, a bit of
frustration present in
his voice.
"Really? Wow. She is fast. Who's her new boyfriend?" Meilin asked.
Syaoran's fist
suddenly curled up into a fist.
"Blake." Syaoran said angrily. Meilin gasped a bit.
"Oh my god! You mean...Blake? The one we grew up with?" Meilin asked.
Syaoran just
nodded his head.
"Uh...anyone care to explain?" You both lost me." Hiro said.
"Oh, sorry. I'll explain to you later, okay?" Meilin said. Hiro nodded and smiled.
"Well, I'm gonna go unpack." Hiro said while standing up.
"I'll see you in a bit." He walked over to her and gave her a soft kiss
on her lips. Meilin
smiled.
"Bye." Meilin said. With that, Hiro walked out of the room, slowly closing
the door
behind him.
"So, Syaoran," Meilin began. "How are you gonna go out with this new girl?"
Syaoran sighed.
"I don't know. Whenever I think I have a chance to ask her out, I always
end up finding
out that she's going out with someone."
"What's her name?" Meilin asked, raising an eyebrow. "Maybe I can find
out something
about her."
"Sakura." Syaoran said with a sigh.
"Well, don't just sit there doing nothing!" Meilin said.
"What do you want me to do? I can't do anything about it right now."
Syaoran said with
frustration.
"This is what I'd do if I were you. I wouldn't let her get to me. Dont'
let her know that
you're trying to go out with her. You never know. Maybe she's trying
to play with your
feelings." Meilin said.
"What?!? Her? Playing with my feelings? Yeah, right." Syaoran said in denial.
"You never know." Meiling said, shrugging her shoulders. "But anyway,
why don't you
go out with someone new?"
"Like who?"
"I don't know. Someone from an all girls school. They're all pretty
and guys always
wanna go out with them." Meilin said matter-of-factly.
"What good is a new girlfriend gonna do?" Syaoran questionned.
"This is what you do. Come with me to the dance club tonight. Hiro and
I are going. And
the club that we're going to is flocked with girls from Tsukishiro
Academy, that all girls
school down the block from your school."
"Why would I go to the club?"
"Wait! Let me finish!" Meilin said. "Now. If you go to the club with
us, your good looks
will draw tons of girls to you. Then, pick a girl you want to be your
girlfriend. When you
do, make sure she goes to Tsukishiro Academy and make sure she's really
pretty...or
'hot' as you men say it. Then, ask her to go out with you. Then during
school, ask your
new girlfriend to come wait for you at your school. You know, like,
offer to give her a
ride home. Then, in front of...what's her name?...oh, Sakura...be sweet
to your girlfriend
and kiss her and whatever. When Sakura sees how sweet you are and what
a great
boyfriend you are, she'll get jealous of your girlfriend, break up
with her boyfriend, then
she'll be begging you to go out with her!!"
Meilin let out a sigh, trying to catch her breath.
Syaoran digested everything Meilin said and considered the idea.
"I don't know if it'll work..." Syaoran finally said.
"Just give it a try." Meilin said. "Think about it. It's logical. It
makes sense. It happens all
the time."
Syaoran thought about it a little bit more.
"When are you going?" he asked.
"Tonight. Today's Friday so we get in free." Meilin said with a hint of happiness.
"Hmm...I'll tell you my decision soon."
