Chapter 17: A New War

Li smiled in his sleep and rolled over to grasp thin air. He woke instantly and starred at the empty side of the bed. The bed was cold and he knew that she had been gone for a while. A bad feeling rose in him and he ignored it and jumped up and got dressed and went in search of Sakura.

* * *

" I think males are far to egotistical. " Madison said pointing her fork at Eriol as she ate breakfast.

" And what about you females? " Eriol asked smirking. They were having a battle of wills.

" All prim and proper. "

" Excuse me? Does this look like 'prim and proper' to you? " Madison said indicating her black top she was wearing and leather pants with boots.

" Males think they're so good. Not to mention so confident. " Madison smirked.

" Oh that's harsh. " Eriol smirked, sipping his coffee, his arm drapped over the back of his chair.

Just then Sakura walked past.

" Hey Sakura! " Madison called.

" What? " Sakura asked.

" What do you think of Males? " she asked smiling.

Sakura face darkened.

" They're nothing but backstapping bastards that go after all that they can get and they don't care how they go about getting it either. They're liers, cheats, sneaky, loathsome evil pricks that don't deserve a place on this earth and why god ever created them I will never know! "

Madison starred at her best friend stunned. Eriol was watching her closely too.

" Not to mention that they're egotistical, stubborn, unfaithful, so self-assured, cunning, obnoxious, distrustful, disgusting, and basically they're not worth the fucking time! " Sakura spat.

Madison went to open her mouth but Sakura cut her off.

" And they can't even fuck that good either come to think of it! " she spat and stormed off.

The room was dead quiet. Eriol set his cup back down on the table.

" Well I guess that ends the game. How could I compare to that? "

Madison's boot connected with his shin.

" Ouch! "

Madison's fork cluttered as she dropped it back onto her plate, breakfast forgotten.

" Something's not right. Something's happened and I want to know what. "

She got up.

" What about my goodbye kiss? " Eriol asked.

Madison head appeared around the door.

" You heard the lady. Men aren't worth the time. "

Eriol shook his head.

" I should have seen that one coming. "

* * *

" Sakura wait up. " Madison called.

Sakura slowed down and Madison stepped in front of her.

" Hey girl. What was all that about ? "

Sakura clenched her teeth.

" Nothing. Forget it. "

" Umm hello? You just totally bagged out the entire male population, condeming them to a life worse than hell. There has to be some reason behind it? "

" I said forget it. "

Madison saw the look in her eyes and gasped.

" Oh my god! You've slept with someone haven't you?! " Madison breathed.

" Don't go thinking you'll be seeing wedding bells Madison. I just did my initiation that's all. " Sakura spat.

" Initiation? " Madisn asked confused.

" Yeah. That's what I thought. " Sakura spat. " Now if you'll excuse me I have to go. "

Madison watched her go.

" Oh and Madi if you breath one hair or even hint this to anyone, I will kill you. "

" Don't worry I won't. " Madison whispered as Sakura rigid form left the building.

* * *

Li couldn't find Sakura anywhere. He entered the kitchen and groaned when he saw Eriol sitting there watching him.

" Don't start. " Li spat.

" Couldn't be bothered. " Eriol replied.

Li came up short.

" Hang on. What's up with you? You never miss an oportunity to have a go at me. "

" I have more important thngs to think about. " Eriol replied.

" Like what? " Li asked sitting down.

Eriol's eyes locked on with his cousins.

" Like as to why Sakura came in here this morning and gave a very heart warming speech as to why the entire male population should be condemed to hell and how they're nothing but bastards that go after all they can get. "

Li's eyes widened.

" She said what? "

" Oh that's not even a fifth of what she had to say about us this morning. Even I couldn't make a comeback after she left. Madison's very worried. "

Li frowned.

" So what did you do to her this time? " Eriol asked.

" WHAT?!!! "

Eriol raised his eyebrow.

" How come you turn straight to me everytime something happens? " Li asked taking a sip of a cup of coffee he had poured.

" She said that males can't even fuck that good. " Eriol said watching for a reaction. He got it. Li choked and spat out the coffee in shock. Eriol leant forward and patted him on the back.

" Are you making this up?!! " Li demanded, his eyes wide with shock.

" Excuse me do you see me putting me down like this? "

Li wiped his outh on the back of his hand.

" I gotta go. I've gotta go find Sakura. " Li said and jumped up and went out the door.

Eriol's eyes flashed.

" So she's managed to tame him. Intersting. . very interesting. . . "

* * *

" Sakura! "

Sakura froze and kept going.

" Sakura don't walk away from me. "

" It's called ignoring you Li. Go away. "

Li grabbed her arm and forced her to turn around. She turned her head away so she didn't have to look at him.

" Look at me Sakura. "

" I refuse to. "

" What the hell is going on with you? Why are you ovoiding me? "

" Isn't it obvious? " Sakura spat, sending him a scathing look.

Li frowned and let her go.

" Where were you this morning? " he asked softly.

Sakura tensed.

" I had more important things to do than lay around all day. " Sakura spat.

" Now what's that supposed to mean? " Li demanded.

Wolves were starting look at them curiously.

" I pretty sure you know. Why are you still hanging around with me Li? I thought that once you initiated someone, you left them alone. Isn't that how the rules go? "

" What the hell are you talking about? "

" Figuire it out for yourself. " Sakura spat and stepped away from him.

" I hope you enjoy last night Li. " she whispered. " Because you will never touch me again. "

Li starred at her in shock.

" Sakura. "

" Let me ask you something Li? Do you always tell the girl you want that she's pretty and tell her all the things you told me in hopes that she will give herself to you? "

" What?!! No! Sakura! " Li called as she turned away and walked away.

Sakura ignored all the stares from the Wolves as she held her head high and pushed the doors opened and walked out of the Wolves Mansion.

*************************************************************************************************

Maskai Amamiya opened his door and stepped back startled. Natasha stood starring up at him with sad pleading eyes.

" Hello Grandpa. "

Masaki frowned and then he realised that it was Sakura.

" Sakura. What a lovely surprise. What's brought you all the way out here so far from home? "

" I needed to get away from everything and this was the first place I thought of. "

" Why what's happened? " Masaki asked, letting her into the huge front entrance.

" It's got nothing to do with dad or Tori, they don't even know that I'm here. I - "

Tears welled up in her eyes and she burst out crying.

" Oh my dear child, what's wrong? " Masaki asked hugging his granddaughter.

Sakura looked up at him.

" Who ever said that Loves hurts was right! "

*************************************************************************************************

~* Few Days Later *~

Sakura layed flat on her stomach just starring at nothing. She had layed down on her mother's bed and she wasn't moving. She drew comfort from knowing that her mother used to lie on this bed.

" I want it gone. "

" Sakura, if you have it removed, you're whole back will be scarred for the rest of your life. " Masaki replied starring at her tattoo.

" I don't care. I want it gone. I want nothing more to do with Li Showron. "

" Sakura. " Masaki sighed. " If you're going to sulk all day and mope about, you can go home. "

Sakura sat up.

" I'm not sulking and I'm not moping about. Is it so bad that I've been hurt? "

Her cell rang again and Sakura turned it off.

" I really think you should talk to this young man Sakura and sort out whatever it is that has happened between you. "

Sakura gave him her phone.

" There's nothing to sort out grandpa. "

Masaki sighed and walked out of the room. He looked at the phone and then turned it on as soon as he was away from the room.

* * *

Sakura twirled around in the field of flowers in one of her mother's dresses from when she was a model. She fell on her back and starred up at the sky that was spinning. She breathed in the fresh country air and closed her eyes.

**

She woke suddenly and starred at the sky. It was nearing sunset. She jumped up and brushed down her skirts and took off running in the direction of her grandpa's house. Her grandfather was standing at the door talking to someone when Sakura came running up.

" Grandpa! Grandpa! I'm sorry I'm late. I was in the field and I- " Sakura stopped short and her face paled.

Li turned around to look at her. His face was expressionless as he starred at her. Sakura starred back at him horrorfied. Her gaze went to her grandfather and it clicked. Tears welled up in her eyes as she starred at them both.

" You called him didn't you? " she asked softly starring at the ground.

" I'm sorry Sakura. "

" I bet you are. " Sakura muttered and walked past them. " I'm going to go get

changed. "

* * *

A knock sounded on her door and Sakura snapped out of her thoughts. The door opened to her mother's room and Li looked at her through it.

" Sakura? "

Sakura lowered her head in defeat and sighed wearily.

" I'm coming. " she said and got up.

" You don't have to come if you don't want to. "

Sakura stopped and looked at him. Li smiled sadly and came over to her. He looked around the room looking at all it's bright colours and it's balcony.

" Is this your mother's room? " he asked.

" Hai. "

" It's nice. "

" Thank you. "

Li sighed.

" We have to sort this out Sakura. We can't keep doing this to ourselves. "

" WE are not doing anything Li. " Sakura replied.

Li ran his hand through his messy chesnut hair.

" When are you going to quit pretending as if it didn't happen? "

" You initiated me Li. That's all there is to it. "

" Why do you keep going on about me initiating you? I never said anything about that being your initiation. "

" Hai you did. Before you fell alseep you said that we didn't need to worry about an initiation anymore."

Li opened his mouth and closed it.,

" You think - thought that I - meant - Sakura! " Li called as she walked out of the room and downstairs.

* * *

" That's it! I've had enough. " Li stated and went after Sakura with a meaningful purpose.

" Hey! What do you - Li put me down!! "

" Not until you shut up and listen to me! " Li said as he carrried her over his shoulder towards his car.



**

Li put Sakura in the passenger seat and closed the door and made his way over to the driver's door. Sakura glarred at him the whole way. She didn't know what made her think of of it, but she smiled wickedly. Li opened the door and smiled swetly. Li stopped.

" Oh Li. I think I dropped my bag. Can you get it for me? "

Li looked at her suspiciously. But closed the door and walked back around the car. Sakura smiled at the keys he had left and quick as lightning she locked all the doors and smiled smuggly at Li as he saw her do it. Li shook his head as he came back around towards his door. Sakura sat with her arms crossed and smiled at him.

Li pulled someting out of his pockety and Sakura watched in horror as all the doors unlocked and Li opened the door and got in.

" How did you kow I was going to do that?!! " Sakura demanded.

" I didn't. " Li replied.

" Then how -? "

" I learnt along time ago to carry that seperate from my keys. "

" . . .. . . "

Li shot Sakura a look as he started the car.

" Eriol taught me. "

Sakura groaned and banged her head against the window in disdain.

* * *

" You can get out now. "

" I don't want to. "

" We're not going to go through this again are we? " Li asked losing his patience.

" You don't have to be here. "

" Are you though being pissed at me yet ?"

" Hmph. "

" Guess not. "

" Look just go away will you? "

" That's it Sakura. "

" Hey wha- "

Li picked her up and put her over his shoulder and carried inside.

* * *

Madison sat cuddled up next to Eriol when Sakura's curses and shouting erupted into the hall. The Wolves looked at each other before running out in time to see Li carrying a very pissed Sakura up the stairs towards Li's room.

" You bastard put me down! I swear I'll get Tori to tear strips off you if you don't put me down! I mean it! I hate you Li put me down!! "

Li's door closed and everyone stood stunned. Madison, Meilin, Leiko and Christina crept to the stairs curiously waiting for something to break or someting to happen, but there was just silence. All wide eyes, the girls turned to the boys behind them.

" What was that all about I wonder? " Christina asked.

Skylar shugged.

" I guess it means that Li found her. "

" And I don't thinks she's very happy about it. " Meilin said.

* * *

Sakura sat on Li's bed where he had set her down.

" You and I need to talk. . . . "

* * *

" Go on. " Madison urged.

Leiko looked at the door and gulped.

" If I get my head bitten off, I'm blaming it on you. "

" Just hurry up. " Meilin snapped.

Leiko knocked on the door.

" Li? " she called. " Have the two of you managed to kill each other yet? "

Alex hit her.

" Ouch! "

" Shush! "

They opened the door.

Sakura sat on the bed just looking at Li. Li was standing next to her looking down at him.

" Ahem. " Leiko said.

Sakura looked over at them all crowded around the door.

" Umm are you . . I mean have you . . ? " Leiko asked unsure.

Madison barged in.

" Are you talking to each other yet or am I going to have to step in? "

Sakura just starred at them and she giggled.

" How long have you been standing at the door wondering? "

Madison smiled and sighed and rolled her eyes dramatically,

" Ages! God you'd think you guys would have spoken up a bit! We couldn't hear a thing! "

Li looked a little happier, but something was still bothering him. Sakura smiled and hugged all her friends.
