Chapter 2: I Hate You
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, CLAMP does. Of course you probably have already figured out that Meinan and Suka and people that I made up.
A/N: Hi again! I told you it'd be posted soon. Anyway, don't kill me no matter what happens. It'll be S+S later, I promise. This chapter is ten
times worse than the last one.

"The new transfer student from Hong Kong is S… never mind (A/N: haha!). I'll let him introduce himself. You may come in now," sensei Harago said. The boy walked in.
'Wait a minute. Something about him doesn't look like my little wolf. Yeah, he also has brown messy hair and amber eyes, but his eyes aren't the same,' Sakura thought.
"Hi. As you have already been told, I'm a transfer student from Hong Kong. My name is Suka Lan. It's a pleasure to meet you all," the boy said with a smirk.
'No, I was sure it was going to be Syaoran. Why does Syaoran do this to me? Why?!' Sakura thought. Her heart immediately fell to the ground.
"I told you Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said.
"You're not helping," Sakura said sadly and angrily.
"Suka, you may sit in that empty seat behind Sakura Kinomoto," sensei Harago said. Suka walked to his seat, continuously staring at Sakura. 'Boy, Syaoran was right. She is an angel,' Suka thought. 'That new guy is staring at me. It's almost like the time when Syaoran came in fourth grade. Syaoran…,' Sakura sighed.
At lunch, Suka walked over and sat with Sakura.
"Sakura Kinomoto, I would like to ask you a question. Did you ever like Li Xiao Lang, or Syaoran Li?" Suka asked.
Sakura gasped. "Yes, I did. How did you know?"
'She did? Well, too bad. It's a pity I have to break an angel's heart,' Suka thought. Putting on a sad face, Suka said, "I am Syaoran's best friend. Sorry to tell you this, but Syaoran has already made a girlfriend in China. Her name is Meinan."
"What?! But…but…" Sakura stuttered. She was totally shocked. Her heart broke into a million pieces. Still shocked, she started to cry. 'Why, Syaoran, why? You promised you'll love me forever. I've waited 6 years for you, hoping you might come back or at least call, only to find that you've found someone else in China. You're such a liar. I will hate you forever.' Furious, Sakura pulled some grass out of the ground and threw it.
"Sakura-chan, I'm really sorry," Tomoyo said.
"Now now Sakura, don't cry. I'm sure you'll find someone," Suka said, trying to comfort her.
"I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm so sorry Sakura-chan. Don't worry, I'll get revenge on my little descendent," Eriol said.
The next few days were horrible. Sakura barely smiled. All she did was cry or talk about revenge. She would smile to Suka sometimes though. 'I can't go on like this anymore. I have to get on with my life. Suka is real nice. Since he's Syaoran's best friend, I don't see why I can't be his friend either. Who knows, maybe I'll even start to love him more than Syaoran. There's something about Suka that seems to make me like him, or maybe I do,' Sakura thought one day as she lay in bed.
Sakura went to school early again. She walked into the classroom and was greeted by her friends. Later, the bell rang. The sensei walked in and said, "Well class, I don't know what month this is, but I think it's transfer student month. Today we have two transfer students from Hong Kong. I'll let them introduce themselves." A boy with messy brown hair and amber eyes walked in. Following him was a girl. She was all over the boy. She had black hair that went down to her shoulders. Her eyes were hazel with evil in it. Sakura could sense it. The girl was so beautiful that every boy stared at her, except for Eriol and Suka.
"Hi, I'm Syaoran Li," the boy said.
"Hi, I'm Meinan Li," the girl said. Sakura couldn't believe her ears. He was back with that stupid girl! At lunch, they came and sat with Sakura.
"Hi Sakura. I'm sorry I chose Meinan. We can still be friends," Syaoran apologized.
"Do you know why my last name is Li? It's because we're engaged, and I just couldn't wait to have the same last name as my Syaoran! Yay!" Meinan cried out in delight.
"No thanks Li-kun, but I can make my own friends, friends that don't lie to me," Sakura said. With that, Meinan rejoiced and ran away with Syaoran, kissing him when they stopped running.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed. She awoke from her nightmare with cold sweat. 'Was that dream real? Was it a prophecy? What did it mean? Did it mean that Syaoran was engaged to Meinan? There was evil in Meinan's eyes though. Was it trying to tell me that Syaoran's in danger? No, I hate Syaoran. I don't care. I'm with Suka now. He's pretty nice. I'm going to ask him out first thing in the morning. Oh, it's already 6:00. I better get dressed,' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, what's going on?" Kero said sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
"I have to go to school. Bye Kero!" Sakura said. At school, Sakura told Tomoyo about the dream.
"Weird. Maybe Eriol can help. He may know a little about dreams," Tomoyo suggested.
"No, this is only between us. Don't tell anyone else, OK?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo agreed. When they walked into the classroom, Suka was already there reading a book with Chinese characters on it.
"Hey Suka, what are you reading?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Uh, nothing Sakura-chan," Suka said. 'Whew, if she knew Chinese, she would've known that I was reading a book about Western Magic and the Clow book.'
"Um…Suka?" Sakura said uncertainly.
"Hey you guys! My mom got me a new digital camera!" Tomoyo cried out excitedly. Eriol and Sakura sweat dropped.
"What were you going to say Sakura?" Suka asked.
"Never mind," Sakura sighed.
"Sakura-chan, you seem happy today," Eriol noticed.
"Yeah, I am. I'm tired of Syaoran tricking me for 6 years. It's time this all ends. Suka, what I was going to say was will you go out with me?"
"Why Sakura, I was going to ask you that today also. Of course I will," Suka said smirking. 'Too bad for you, little wolf. You're under the devil's spell and you won't get your angel back because she's with me now.'
2 months passed, and Suka and Sakura have had a wonderful time together. They've even kissed! Little did Sakura know that she was falling into a trap. One night, she had another prophetic dream.
It was really dark, Sakura was in some sort of cave. Suddenly, Syaoran appeared.
"I'm really sorry Sakura! I should've known better. Now I'm trapped in the devil's spell. Don't let what happened to me happen to you. Sakura, I love you very much. I'm sorry I never wrote you a letter or gave you a call. Save yourself, don't date that Suka!"
"Why should I listen to you, Syaoran? You're a liar, and you know it. I'm going to kill you once and for all. Sword card, release and dispel…sword!" After that, Sakura placed the sword against Syaoran's neck. "Syaoran, I have hated you ever since Suka told me the truth. I will hate you forever. I wish I never even knew you. I'm glad Suka came and told me, or else I would've been still waiting for you and I would never have met Suka. He's a wonderful guy. Stop trying to lie to me again. Li, we're over. I want to forget you once and for all. Die Li!" With that, Sakura slashed Syaoran in half. Pain and guilt flooded through Sakura. "I'm so sorry Syaoran. I think I still love you. I'm sorry, but this'll be good for both of us. Hopefully, I'll forget you soon."
The next day, Sakura went to school as usual. Her whole mind was thinking about the dream. Seeing Suka, she ignored the dream, and decided to pay attention to him instead. As usual, Sakura went on a date with Suka and became deeper in love with him. At night, Eriol called Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, I need to tell you something important. I've sensed something evil around Suka. I recommend you to stay away from him." *Click*
"Wait, Eriol-kun, I needed to ask you something..,," Sakura said as the phone clicked.
"Meinan, why did Suka go to Japan? I need to go too," Syaoran said one day as Meinan and he were sitting beside a cherry tree. It was spring, and the cherry blossoms flew everywhere.
"Well Syaoran, if you're going, then I'll go too," Meinan said, putting her head on Syaoran's shoulders.
"Of course Meinan, I would never leave you by yourself," Syaoran said. Suddenly, Syaoran muttered a word, "Sakura…"
"What did you say, my little wolf?" Meinan asked suspiciously.
"Um…I was saying the Japanese word for cherry blossoms."
'Guess this boy is powerful. He can still think of that stupid Sakura. I'll just have to use more power to control him. I hope Suka is trying to get the Clow Cards,' Meinan thought.
'I feel like I'm betraying Sakura. I must go back to Japan no matter what,' Syaoran thought (A/N: Aww, he still cares).
The next day, Syaoran packed up all his stuff. He bought two airplane tickets, and Meinan and he set off for Japan.
Ring! Sakura and company quickly got into their seats. Sensei Harago walked in with a weird face.
"Well class, I don't know what year this is, but there are a lot of transfer students coming to our school. Today, we have two transfer students from Hong Kong. You may come in and introduce yourselves and tell the class a little bit about you," sensei Harago said. Shocked, Suka turned to see who they were. Sakura, having lost hope of Syaoran and even hated him, stared out the window.
'This is almost like my dream the other day,' Sakura thought. From the door walked a boy and a girl. The boy was really handsome. Sakura couldn't stop staring at him. Something about the boy was familiar. He had amber eyes and messy brown hair. He was also staring at Sakura, and his eyes widened when he saw her. The girl was evidently jealous. She looked exactly like the girl in Sakura's dreams.
"Hi. My name is Syaoran Li and I'm from Hong Kong. Some of you may know me because I used to go to Toemada Elementary (A/N: I don't know how to spell it) in fourth grade."
"Hi, I'm Meinan Wu. Don't any of you dare steal Syaoran away from me because he's mine!" Half of the class sweat dropped, while Syaoran blushed and looked angry.
"Ahem! Well, that was…um…very nice. Syaoran, you may sit next to Suka. Meinan, you may sit next to Tomoyo," the sensei said. At lunch, Sakura tried to avoid Syaoran, but she didn't succeed.
"Sakura, I'm sorry. I really am. The truth is, I love Meinan. I…"
"Li-kun, you don't have to be. I waited for you for 6 years, waiting for you to give me a phone call, send me a letter, come back, anything like that. What happened? You found someone else. We're forever over Li-kun. Go and hang out with your girlfriend. I hate you!" Sakura screamed.
"But…" Syaoran tried to say.
"My darling little wolf, come here please! I've been talking with Suka. You shouldn't try to apologize to Sakura-chan. She lived very well without you. She even made a boyfriend…Suka!" Meinan said smiling.
'Sakura made a boyfriend. That's OK. I still love Meinan. I just can't believe she called me Li-kun,' Syaoran thought.
"Yeah, I made a boyfriend. Suka, come over here!" Delighted, Suka ran to Sakura. Desperate to make Syaoran jealous, she gave Suka a long, sweet, passionate kiss on the lips. 'Wait, why am I doing this? I don't care about Syaoran. Why do I want him to be jealous? Is it that I'm still in love with him?' Sakura thought sadly. On the verge of tears, Sakura kissed Suka again to hide her feelings.
'Sakura, you're drifting away. I must use magic to make you stay interested in me,' Suka thought.
"Sakura-chan, remember what I told you?" asked Eriol angrily.
"I'm sorry Eriol, I don't believe you. I can't. It's like the feeling between you and Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said.
"Eriol, they're a cute couple. Stop trying to get in their way. Is it that you're jealous?" Tomoyo demanded angrily.
"No Tomoyo, of course not," Eriol said, kissing Tomoyo on the cheek
"Suka, can you come to my house today at 8:00? My parents won't be home," Sakura asked.
"Sure!" Suka answered immediately. 'Perfect, I can try to get the Clow Cards while I'm at her house.' On the way home, Syaoran stopped Sakura.
"Sakura, do you seriously hate me?"
"Li-kun, I told you to leave me alone. You wouldn't care anyway. You're in love with Meinan."
"Sakura, are you jealous? Yes I admit that I love Meinan, but can't we be friends?"
"Friends Li-kun? Is that what you want? Well, take this!" As if Sakura was trained for is, she punched Syaoran in the stomach…hard.
"I guess we can't even be friends then. Fine Sakura," Syaoran said, trying to stand the pain in his stomach. As Sakura ran away, Syaoran fell to the ground. 'My training was always worse than this. This isn't even counted as painful compared to the stuff in training. So why is this happening to me? Is it because Sakura is the card mistress? Cherry blossoms, why did you have to do that to me? I feel as if I was still in love with you.'
Sakura ran all the way to her house. She was crying. 'Why'd I do that? Syaoran must be very hurt. I'm so sorry. I feel so weak now,' Sakura thought.
Suka went to Sakura's house at exactly 8:00. He gathered his powers, and tried to control Sakura to fall in love with him. Because Sakura punched Syaoran that day, she felt sad, so she was very weak. As a result, the magic worked on Sakura.
'What is this feeling? I feel as though I was meant to be with Suka,' Sakura thought, starting to drift off into La-la Land.
"Sakura, have you ever heard of Clow cards?" Suka asked, knowing that Sakura would tell him about it.
"Of course sweetheart. I'll tell you everything. You deserve to know. I have the Clow book, the book that contains the Clow cards. It's on my desk," Sakura said in a dreamy voice.
'Perfect, now I'll have the Clow book. I won't have any use for Sakura or Meinan anymore. I'll just kill them afterwards,' Suka thought victoriously. He walked up to Sakura's room, grabbed the book, then used Western Magic to make all the cards his.
"I call upon the Clow card now…sword!" Immediately, Suka was holding a sword and heading downstairs. Just then, Kero flew into the window from the meeting with Eriol about Suka.
'I sense something, and it's feels dangerous. It seems to be coming from downstairs,' Kero thought. Quickly, he flew downstairs. He heard Sakura scream and a laugh. 'They need Cerberus.' With that, Kero transformed.
"What are you trying to do, Suka?!"
"Cerberus! I never knew you were here," Suka said nervously. Swiftly, he thrust the sword into Cerberus's left leg. It wasn't much use. Suka concentrated all his powers onto the sword, then powerfully slashed Cerberus's body.
"Sakura, be strong! I can't stand this much longer. Sakura, be strong and defeat this evil guy!" Cerberus said weakly, turning back into Kero and dropping onto the floor.
"Ha, no one can stand in my way now!" Suka said as he pointed the sword at Sakura's throat.
Another cliffhanger! Yay! Crowd: Booooooo! Sorry about that, it's just that I've ran out of ideas. Now you guys hate me. I have the stupidest ideas. I don't like this chapter very much. Please give me some ideas. I don't know if Sakura and Syaoran would break free of the spell, then fall back into it again. If they just break free, then there won't be that many chapters. That doesn't really matter though, does it? Well, hope you liked it. Please r&r.
