=That Dream=
Chapter 10
~*~*~
The phone rings, and rings, and rings. Won't they ever get the hint that I'm not going to answer? I suppose not.
"Moshi-moshi?" I asked into the phone, my voice not very welcoming in the slightest. The week is almost over with, and I'm tired of everyone bothering me. I mean, I stopped going to school this week after telling them what I was planning, and yet these people still come to my house, and call, and do all this rubbish!
"L-Li-san, it's me, Tomoyo. I, well I wanted to thank you. And I have interesting news to tell you!"
"I'm sure it can wait. I don't have the time, ja ne, Daidouji-san," I said and then I quietly hung up the phone. For how much they seem to want to tell me, I never heard them try to talk about Sakura. I suppose I would've hung up much sooner.
Hmm...
Wow, I never realized how much I had to pack. There's just so much I have to worry about, and now I just... *grr*. I'm going back to Hong Kong without Sakura. I don't think that this is a good idea. I wonder what Okaasama will say about this. I don't think she'll be happy. She *wanted* me to propose to Sakura. Sadly, she just didn't realize that we're seventeen.
Anyhow, what can I get rid of? Okay, I don't need these figurines, I don't need these candles, I don't need these...
Oh, look at this? It's that old, pink cell phone that Sakura gave me. Hmm... fond memories. Too bad I can't keep it.
The phone rings again, and instead of answering it, I take the plug out of the wall. There, now no one can call me. I wonder why I didn't think of that in the first place? Oh well, nothing can be said or done about it now.
Now, I have most everything packed, and I'll be having this all transported to Hong Kong tomorrow. Now, I've already informed the school, I've had my records transferred so I can resume school in Hong Kong, and I've turned everything in.
Alright then, let's see, I've told Okaasama, and she said the elders will truly be happy. Except about getting the cards, that was something they won't be happy about. But, does it really matter, I'm the second strongest sorceror in this world. Hence, in this world. Oi... Sakura is the strongest, but Eriol is probably stronger than me. Great, so I'm third. Wonderful.
Anyhow, I believe I'm all packed up, and I can leave tomorrow. I suppose I'll have to go to Seijou High to tell the secretary, Yayashi Fumi, good-bye. I mean, I did tell her I would. I suppose I could tell everyone else good-bye as well. Well, everyone except Sakura. I'll just write her a note, and hopefully she'll read it before she would throw it away. Hopefully.
=knock=knock=
Hmm... I wonder who's knocking on the door. I don't feel like talking to anyone. I wonder if I sit here and don't say anything they'll go away.
"Little Descendent, I know that you are in there, and I know that you don't want me to use force to get in there, now do you?"
Bloody damn hell. No, not saying anything at all.
"Li Syaoran, open the door, or I'll have to bust it down. You know you don't want to be paying any bills since you're leaving tomorrow."
I don't care, I'm not answering. He can break it down for all I care, I'll say someone broke in when I wasn't there, and they can look at the security cameras to prove it. So, bleh.
"Dammit, Syaoran, what if I told you that you could stay? What if I told you that everything will work out. And, next week is still Wednesday, you can be running around naked on Wednesday!"
This is crap, I'm not going to listen to this anymore. I walk to the door and open it. Hiiragizawa is standing there, with a look of annoyance on his face.
"Took you damn long enough. Now--" Hiiragiziwa pushed me aside and stepped in my apartment.
"Wow, you weren't kidding. You really are leaving."
I rolled my eyes. "Nice of you to notice. Now, do you mind? Tell me what you need to tell me so I can finish packing."
"Pushy, descendent, pushy. That's all that you are. Listen to me my Little Descendent, I think it'd be a very stupid idea, indeed, if you left. So, let's throw your petty differences aside and you stay."
I sigh, no matter how many times I tell him, he just won't understand. It's as if his euphoria of being with Daidouji is rotting his brain more than what it used to be.
"Hiiragizawa, please listen to me. I'm leaving because I ruined my chance with Sakura. I blame it on no one but myself, because I should've went about things in a totally different manner. Perhaps it's time for me to grow up and realize that Sakura and I just truly weren't meant to be."
Hiiragizawa stared at me, his usual face of benign happiness was gone. It was truly pity that stared at me now.
"Don't look at me like that, Hiiragizawa. I messed up, that's all there is to it. There's nothing you can do. I can't make an effort when I feel like crap. It's just, it's just not me."
"So don't be you, Descendent. Be somebody else, and realize that you can get back together with Sakrua, and ten everything will be okay. Besides, this is effecting me, too. Tomoyo is not happy because Sakura-chan is not happy. When Tomoyo isn't happy, I'm not happy."
"Oh, now I definitely must make a fool of myself agai, because you, Hiiragizawa Eriol, is not happy. Truly, this is a dastardly deed that only I must fix!"
"You know, sarcasm doesn't fit you. It really doesn't, and that fact alone is enough to make me sad. Listen to me, Descendent, truly I do care about you. Now, that's a secret, and if it gets out to anyone, I will surely maim you with a butter knife."
Hiiragizawa stopped and stared at me. "It's for your good, and Sakura's, too if you stay. She hasn't listened to me because she knows you are going. She was heartbroken, but if you stay, I know that'll make it all the better."
I stared at Hiiragizawa and looked him in his eyes. "Gomen ne, I can't stay. There's nothing for me here, and you just said that Sakura won't listen to you. So, it's done and over with. It's the end of the week, and you just said Sakura wouldn't listen to you. That means the bet is over with and you lost."
I steered Hiiragizawa towards the doorway and waved at him before he could protest.
"Sayonara, Ancestor."
Then I closed the door.
