A/N: I keep forgetting to say that Sakura doesn't have magical powers, the clow cards don't exist either. Syaoran can still kick ass though. =P He does have a sword, but its not necessary in my story. Thank you all for your reviews, now on with the chapter.
The next day at school, Syaoran wore the clothes Kimi had bought for him. Syaoran had major difficulties though, Rikku had somehow forced him to wear a thong while wearing his tight clothes, that is if he didn't want others to see his underwear bulging out and letting everyone see them. He still wasn't used to the feeling of it and wanted to pick it out as if it were a wedgie.
Last night, Syaoran had a dream that changed his views to a whole new perspective. It was about him being stuck in the female body for the rest of his life, and hadn't taken a shower since he had been transformed. He was covered in dirt and with sticky sweat, with a horrible stench that scared away anyone who came close to him. His hair had grown down his ankle, and was completely oily and messy with split ends. You could see little white bead-like eggs at the roots of his hair, and if you looked carefully and closely enough, you would be able to see black insects scattered across his scalp. And the reason of the disaster was just because he was afraid to see himself naked.
So when Syaoran had woken up early in the morning he decided it was time to swallow his fear and stay clean to complete this mission he was on. He didn't have to look down or anything while taking a shower, he just used a body scrubber to avoid touching his flesh (which he had difficulty with).
And now, Syaoran was walking down the corridor to reach his locker. But today it was unusual, unlike yesterday when he wore his oversized clothes. There were some guys who walked up to him to ask for his phone number or for a date. But Syaoran, being the guy he is, was offended by it. He punched them in the stomach and caused them to back off in fright. And those who were around the area, dashed away to avoid any kind of fight. Some girls who stayed in the hall either gave him a dirty look (the kind of people who are jealous of your clothes) or waved at him trying to make him a friend. This was a change towards people, most of them would just ignore him or whisper to their friends, giggling after taking another look at Syaoran.
When Syaoran reached his locker, it seemed as if he had been walking through an endless passage, Kimi, Rikku, Serena, Crystal, and Momiji had arrived as well and wearing their new designers.
"You look totally fab, Shao Ling!" Commented Momiji who was wearing all baby blue. There seemed to be a colour theme going on. Kimi dressed in white, Crystal in faint yellow and Rikku wearing a cream-coloured top and bottom.
"Uh..thank you..you look..great as well..?" replied Syaoran. He wasn't used to commenting people, but more like grunt which would mean 'I don't know or care..whatever'
"Didn't you think shopping was fun?" Syaoran could tell Kimi was up to something and knew she wanted to bring him around with her.
so to avoid another day in the mall, he instantly made an excuse, "I'm sorry, Kimi, But I've already made plans with my mother.." That was the best he could make up right on the spot.
"Well you can always ditch your mom! You see her everyday anyways! By the way..have you heard from Syaoran lately?" Kimi had sounded quite rude until she mentioned his name. "I'm sure he misses me and wants to talk to me.." She had her sad phoney puppy-face look, trying to hint Syaoran something.
"I can't cancel it, cause my mom's leaving back to Hong Kong in a few days." Syaoran took a deep breath, lying wasn't as easy for him, but he had to try if he didn't want to waste more money and spend the rest of the day walking around a crowded mall! "Syaoran is fine, I..talked to him just last night."
Kimi stood there silently thinking, then blurted out, "Well fine, I don't care if you don't even want to come, but can you give me his number so I can give him a call..and catch up with him?"
'Oh shit..How am I going to lie my way out of this one?'
"Um..he told me that there was going to be a storm brewing today..till..whenever..? He wasn't so sure." Syaoran was nervous, and felt the heat creeping up to his cheeks.
"But I can call him up every to see if the weather is cleared, or will there be a flood that will disconnect the telephone wires?" She probably knew that he wasn't going to give it to her, but that didn't stop her from trying to get it. "So can I have his number or what?"
'Dammit..I need a miracle to get out of this one!!'
"I..uh..Y-Y..H-He..th-th---AHH!" Syaoran screamed when someone had slapped his ass. He twirled around to see who had invaded his somewhat private area. A group of guys nearby were smirking, but one who had a huge grin and winked at Syaoran.
Immediately Syaoran knew it was him that touched him. Anger built up inside of him as he stomped his way to the perverted guy until he was right in front of him. Syaoran kicked the dirty minded freak right in the balls. The guy dropped on to the floor clutching his crotch while rolling around and groaning in excruciating pain.
"DON'T EVER lay your filthy hands on me again, you pervert!!" roared Syaoran. Syaoran had terrified the rest of the guy's friends. They ran away cowardly, leaving their leader behind. Kimi and her friends were surprised with Syaoran's power and his temper.
"SHAO LING! That was a VERY stupid thing to do! So what if he touched your butt? You could get suspended from school from the damage you've done! If he did that to me, I would have at least slapped him in the face, not kicking with all my might at his groin! You're so inconsider-" Sakura had seen the whole thing from the end of the hall. She had sprinted her as fast as she could to scold Syaoran for his action, that is until she was interrupted by Kimi.
"Shut your trap, Sakura! Shao Ling can and will do whatever she wants! She's not a goody-goody person like you are! So if you want to keep hanging aroud us, don't be so mommy-ish around us. We hate bitches to do that, it gets on our nerves, especially mine, right girls?" She turned her head to see her girlfriends nodding their heads in agreement while shooting daggers from their eyes at Sakura. Sakura dropped her head and quietly apologized in shame.
'Now look what you've done Li! You've made her group turn against her! If only I could have controlled my anger. She looks more miserable then ever! But why is she being so stupid..?' Syaoran couldn't help but blame himself.
The bell for school to commence rang. Everyone seperated to get to their classes on time. Everyone except for Syaoran and Sakura of course.
There was a stillness between the two, but was broke from Syaoran's melodious voice.
"So why do you hang around Kimi, Serena, Momiji, Crystal, and Rikku?" Syaoran realized he had spoken aloud his questioned thought, but he might as well finish it off. "They don't treat you like a friend actually would..it's more like using you for things they don't want to do. Why are you letting them push you around?"
Sakura felt as if someone had jabbed a shard of broken glass into her chest, but she still managed to speak out her mind back, "Well why are you acting so stupid and dense around them? Can't you tell that they're only using you to get closer to your brother, Syaoran? Thats the main reason why they're acting to nice, and buying you clothes with their own money? Haven't they asked you anything to get closer to him? It's kind of obvious!"
It was Syaoran's turn to feel the pain. Sakura's reason hit him hard. Now he understood the reason of Kimi's sudden change..just for a guy like him?
'Kimi is so lame, but why hadn't I seen it? Argh..I'm so stupid! But it can't be..' Syaoran was too stubborn to accept the truth.
They both looked away from each other. Their words that came out of their mouth, shot out like venom and slowly poisoned their minds. Nothing more could come out from their mouths, so they made their way to their classrooms mindlessly.

That night, while Syaoran was trying to sleep, he kept hearing Sakura's words rining through his mind. He didn't want to believe that there were people who would use him. He tried to shake away his thoughts, but didn't exceed in doing so. He sighed, he had given up. It was useless.
'Guess I'm gonna have to think this through..I don't know what to do..I guess this might take a while..'
