CHAPTER NINE
Something Mysterious is about to happen……….
Months have been slipping threw everyone's fingers like rain water it is now it's Christmas time and Sakura is still trying to figure out who has been giving her the roses from the play they did way back in September. Damien has been at the school for at least three months now. He has become friends with Sakura and her group and has introduced Damien to her boyfriend Syaoran Li.
Meiling has formed a crush on Damien and hasn't had the guts to him, that she liked him. But every knew that Damien and Meiling are meant for each other every time they get near each other they start a nice conversation and the next thing you know there arguing. They have the love and hate relationship going. Every one thinks its so kawaii!
Christmas was coming up in a few more weeks and Meiling was running around frantically trying to find something that Damien would like. Damien has black hair, and striking blue green eyes, and tanned skin that lets off a soft golden glow, with a smile that would make any girl melt in their shoes.
Damien was with his group of guy friends, who are Syaoran, Eriol, and Takashi. "SO what should I get her for a Christmas present Syaoran?" You should know since you're her cousin. Syaoran just stared at him. "Damien are you telling me that you fell in love with my cousin?!" ARE YOU NUTS!? Syaoran shouted. A group of girls had walked by them and started giggling as they kept walking. "I have known Meiling since we were kids and I still don't know what she likes." Syaoran hissed at him. Damien fell anime style. Then he got back up. "Syaoran you have got to be kidding me?!" Damien said, with a sweat drop on the side of his head. "Well I do know she likes birds, and she likes pendants." Syaoran said in a thoughtful voice. "Try getting her something like that." Eriol said. Damien smiled so Eriol what are you getting Tomoyo?" Eriol gave Damien the death glare that he managed to pick up from Syaoran since he had gotten those quite abet when they first met.
Damien held his hands up "HEY it's just a question sheeesh it's not like I'm going to steel her away from you or anything." Damien said as he backed away. Eriol let his guard down and smiled and said "Since you asked I got her a music box." Eriol said with a smile. Damien sighed and said wow that's deep I didn't know you were that close. Damien said with a wink. Eriol smacked Damien on the head. "Hey I'm not like those guys I take things slow and I respect my girl." Eriol said. That got Syaoran laughing.
Eriol, Damien and Takashi all looked over at him, and wondered what was so funny. "So what are you getting Sakura~Chan?" They all asked curious to know since Syaoran and Sakura have been an item ever since he arrived. "I got her a promise ring." Syaoran said with a smirk, it has a little pink diamond on it that is shaped like a cherry blossom with two white diamonds on the side of it." Syaoran said. They all stared at him, Syaoran that must have coast you a fortune! They all shouted. Syaoran just shook his head, and said not when you're the future leader of the Li clan….. My mother had it made especially for Sakura. Syaoran said with a dreamy look in his eyes. Syaoran is there something you're not telling us? Asked Takashi with a sly smile.
*~ with the girls ~*
"Oh Sakura! This is exciting what are you getting Syaoran!" Shouted Meiling as they walked through the mall. Sakura just stared at her and thought =What should I get him?= Just then she saw a hand in her face and she stepped back "ACK Meiling!" Meiling just smiled. "SO what are you getting Li-kun?" Chiharu asked. "I'm not sure Meiling what does Syaoran like?" Asked Sakura. Meiling then started listening a whole lot of things that Syaoran liked.
By the time they were done shopping Chiharu had gotten a book of tall tales for Takashi. "Why did you get him that book Chiharu?" Meiling asked her. "Well as you should know by now that Takashi loves to tell tall tales." Chiharu said with a smile as she thought of her cousin. Just then they saw Sakura come out of a shop with a gift for Syaoran that was all wrapped in green paper, with a green bow. "So Sakura what did you get Syaoran?!" Meiling asked with a sly smile that formed on her lips. "You will have to wait at out Christmas party Sakura said with a smile.
(The weekend is over and now it's Monday and they are at school as you all can see…. ^^! They have about two more weeks left before holiday break. )
*~ School ~*
It is in the middle of the afternoon and all of the students are tired and sick of all the teachers' lectures and lessons and homework and are excited about Christmas to come and can't wait till school lets out for holiday break. Sakura, and Tomoyo were walking towards there next class, Sakura was laughing about a joke Tomoyo had told her when she bumped into someone.
Sakura landed on her back and said ouch. As Tomoyo was helping her friend up the male voice said you better watch out were you're walking about. Sakura dusted herself off and said yah what ever you jerk. When she looked at the person who ran into her. Her eyes' were shocked.
Tomoyo let out a squeal of delight with stars in her eyes. "I wish I had my cam cord with me about now. " she thought, with stars in her eyes.
Syaoran's POV
I was heading towards my chemistry class when this clumsy girl walked into me and when I told her to watch out where she was going I was shocked to see that it was Sakura that I had bumped into. My eye's had widened with sock and surprise that she would call some one a JERK!
Sakura's POV
I was walking with Tomoyo to our history class when this idiot walks right into me and knocks me down. As Tomoyo helped me up he insulted me and I was too pissed off to even look at who it was. So as I dusted myself off I called him a jerk thinking that it might have been Rhyu. Only to my great surprise it turned out to be my boyfriend Syaoran!
NORMAL POV
Sakura's eyes had started to glisten with tears, as she noticed that it had been Syaoran the entire time. Syaoran seem shocked and surprised that Sakura who is so sweet and innocent would call any one a jerk. "Syaoran! I'm so sorry please forgive me she rushed to him and gave him a hug. Syaoran blushed as she hugged him. "I swear I didn't know it was you honest!" Sakura cried into his shirt.
Tomoyo was standing off to the side as she watched the scene take place. Tomoyo giggled softly to herself recalling what happened just like in the movies she thought, with a smile playing upon her lips.
*~ Round The Corner~*
Rhyu was peering at the scene before him from the corner of his eyes. " I will get you yet Kinomoto if it's the last thing I do. " Just then his eye's started glowing a deep scarlet red. But then they went back to their normal blue color.
The rest of the day was long and boring the teachers were telling the students what they would need to study for their exams before winter break and when they get back from winter break they will see their scores posted on the wall at the front of the school and all the students groaned at this because there were the smart kids and then there were the semi smart kids and then there were the kids that failed or just got bad marking because they freeze up when they take a test.
The last two weeks of term were taught every one was in the library studying on their free time and when they weren't at school they would still be studying.
"These teachers grade like college professors!" "I know isn't horrible I will fail for sure I'm doomed what if my parents see those markings!?" Two students said as they walked out of the school. "Lets just hope that they don't I all ways try to beat them to the mail box so I can hide my grades from them. But I fail miserably at it."
Sakura had over heard the students who were in a higher grade level then she and she freaked out. " Oh know what if my markings are horrible!?" Syaoran noticed his girlfriend's tension. He put his arm around Sakura's shoulders and said don't worry you wont fail lets go to my apartment and study. He suggested. Sakura smiled and agreed.
Off in a distance Rhyu and Stephanie were watching the two and were growing furious by the minute. "When will it be the right time to attack?" Stephanie asked Rhyu. "Soon very soon my dear sister." Then they both vanished into thin air.
