=That Dream=
Chapter 5
~*~*~
When I woke up the next morning, I noticed that my apartment was a *lot* cleaner than it was before. I mean, it was impeccably clean before, but now, not a spot of dust was in the farthest corner of my apartment. Man, that Sakura does wonders. I mean, of course Tomoyo does, too, but that's beside the point.
But the real point is, here I am sitting behind Sakura once again, but she's not naked. (I don't know whether to be happy or angry about that.) But she is still as radiant as ever.
I will never ever stop thinking about her. But, as I was sleeping last night, I actually had a normal dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare. It might be just a dream to some, but it's a nightmare to me, because I wasn't going to get with Sakura, that we were just going to be friends forever and ever, and nothing would become of us.
I mean, I love her. I know I do, but I don't think she loves me. Pathetic, isn't it?
Anyhow, you know what? As much as I hated Japanese when I was younger because it was so close to Chinese, I hate English even more. Knowing me I'll probably fall asleep or something. But, I can only pay attention to the honey-brown head in front of me.
I bet if I stare long enough, she'll turn around like she did when I first came here. Damn, I was an ass when I first came here, wasn't I? Oh well, she forgives me--I think.
You know who still doesn't forgive me? Touya. He hates me, and I can honestly say the feeling is mutual. I'd actually be a little more wary if Touya still had his powers, they were undeveloped and could have easily been used against me.
Remember how I said that it was sickeningly sweet for Touya to give up his powers for Yue? Well, no I take that back. Thank you, Yue, for taking Touya's power off of his hands. Thank you!
This class is so goddamn boring. I hate it, there is nothing about it that I need to know. I know how to speak English, I had to learn it whenever I was training in Hong Kong.
I really do hate this class. So, maybe if I lay my head down, it won't be so bad. I mean, I couldn't possibly fall asleep. I slept so much yesterday...
I'm walking around in mist? How did I get in mist? Hmm... this is weird. Really weird.
"Syaoran?" a voice suddenly calls out into the mist. It definitely isn't my voice. Anyhow, why would I call my own name?
"Syaoran!" the voice calls again.
"What? Who are you?" I ask. Aren't I the intelligent one?
"Syaoran, I want to tell you something. I know something you don't know. Would you like me to tell you? I'll tell you anyway. I know that you like the same girl as I do. But, you see, I certainly like her body, and her female anatomy more than you. You're a good fellow, you like her personality and her brain."
Oh, you just did NOT go there!
"Why you son of a bi--" I start out saying before the voice interrupts me once again.
"Well, I have a proposition for you. How about we share instead?"
What kind of sick lunatic is this? No possible freaking way would I ever share Sakura! I voice this, too. I'm just about as protective of Sakura than Touya.
"Now, you listen here! Sakura isn't some article of clothing or anything of the sort! She's a wonderful human being, and she picks who she wants to be with! Sharing? For that, I'm going to kick your ass! Come out here where I can see you!"
Well, I can muster some bravado when it comes about with dealing with Sakura. I turn around in the mist, looking every which way. Finally the voice speaks up once again.
"You really don't know who I am, Syaoran?"
I greet him with silence. I don't care who it is, but once he gets out here, I'll show him who's the boss!
"Syaoran, I'm Pedro."
All of a sudden I feel a pull. I'm on the floor, and I'm staring up at florescent lighting, and three faces are swimming in front of me. One of them I'm very wary of. You always have to be wary of Hiiragizawa Eriol.
I quickly scramble back into my seat, and I have the decency to blush as the teacher glares in my direction. She turns around, because she knows that I'm fairly well in Englisht. Thank goodness I do well. Thank goodness for that.
"Hey, Syaoran-kun, what's the matter?" Sakura asks me, genuine sincerity lacing her voice.
She's still turned towards the front. She didn't want to get in trouble. English wasn't one of her best subjects.
"Oh, erm, well nothing!" I say rather unconvincingly.
"Oh, uh huh sure," Tomoyo says, grinning at me. I think she knows. She's fairly perceptive for not having any magic.
Maybe some magic residue rubbed off on her because of being around Sakura too much. That's actually a feasible theory.
But, before I can turn away from her, she winks at me and giggles. She really is the other half of Hiiragizawa. I wonder what he'd do without her.
"How was it talking to your own penis, Syaoran?" Hiiragizawa says quietly to me.
I turn white all over, my face a perfect epitome fear and shock molded into one expression. More or less anxiety.
"But, don't mind me. I must praise you for doing so well at blocking your signals, even when you're out cold. I decided that you must be having another one of those *fascinating* dreams, and I couldn't bare on missing out."
He's such an ass. He actually, ACTUALLY, snuck into my head to see my dream just because he wanted to. He's so infuriating. Really and truly. Now Eriol really has something to blackmail me about. Why can't I ever have the upper hand?
"Because, descendent, you're not as seasoned at it as I am. Believe me, I know how to get the upper hand of everyone," he said in a superior tone.
"Hiiragizawa-san! Is there something you like to share with the class?!" the sensei asked loudly.
Oh yeah, I know I'm trying to stifle my chuckles. Eriol is beet red, and he's trying to tell the sensei that he's nothing more than talking about the lesson. Ha! Upper hand of everyone my ass. This is great!
When the sensei finally leaves him alone, he turns to me, a stony expression on his face.
"Don't say a word, descendent. That was intentional."
"Of course it was intentional, the sensei *intended* to embarrass you because you were talking during her lesson."
I have a smug look on my face and I know it. I've the upper-hand and I've just embarrassed the great and almighty Hiiragizawa Eriol. What a great day this turned out to be. Well, except I had a very weird dream about Pedro talking to me, but hey, Hiiragizawa just ate his own words. By a non-magical person at that!
I guess I should pay attention now, as I've already had a most unfortunate dream. I'm surprised that Sakura didn't catch it. Oh wait, yeah. Never mind, Eriol said that I had blocked it, he just snuck into my head. Oh, the bastard. Really and truly.
"Hey, Li-kun? I want to talk to you later, okay? I have something really important I need to discuss with you."
I look at Tomoyo as she smiles at me and winks. I gulp, no telling what she wanted to talk to me about.
Oh! Oh-hoho! Would you look at that? Eriol is steaming. I turn back to Tomoyo and give her one of my more dazzling smiles. The ones I reserve for Sakura.
This is rich! She just blushed! Oh yeah, that smile can make anyone do anything. Well, anyone except Sakura that is...anyone except her.
