Cherryblossom419: Hey Everybody! I'm so sorry CardPrincess, I didn't know
people didn't like 'Kay' glad you mentioned it I won't use it anymore.
Well I seem to be updating a lot the ideas are flowing in like crazy! Well
enough of me blabbing away and on with the story. No need for a recap,
cause I'm starting the next day.
(The Next Day)
"Syaoran hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Meiling screamed as she ran throughout the apartment searching for her school things.
Syaoran drowsily looked up at his alarm clock; it read 7:58 am "Oh shit!" he cursed as he jumped out of bed, got dressed and made a run for school.
*Great, first day of school and I'm late! This is going to be so embarrassing!* Syaoran thought crumbly.
Syaoran and Meiling arrived at school at 8:13 am and it was a moment that both would rather forget or mostly Syaoran rather forgot. When they got there the teacher that had assigned Sakura to giving Syaoran the tour was making Syaoran and Meiling explain why they were late. Of course Meiling came up with an utterly fantastically fake story about a terrible traffic jam and how she saved two small children from the verge of death. When she finished the pulpy old lady was very fed up with their little story and made them go to the principal's office.
"Brilliant Meiling, why couldn't you let me explain? Then we probably wouldn't be here!" Syaoran said sarcastically.
"Oh Syaoran don't you see my plan went very well." Meiling started.
"Really? Is that why we're in the principal's office? Syaoran asked angrily.
He was quite fed up with Meiling's little stories that always got them in trouble especially in front of Sakura. He had watched Sakura the whole time and she was looking at them as if they were crazy freaks, but it shouldn't have been so weird for her cause he remembered that he and she were the only people dense enough to actually believe Yamazaki's stories.
(Flashback)
"Did you know that strawberries used to have legs?" Yamazaki questioned.
A ten year old Sakura and Syaoran shook their head vigorously as they intently listened to Yamazaki-kun.
"Well they did and that's why people were always tired after they ate strawberries!" Yamazaki exclaimed.
"Wow really? I'd really hate to live back then! I really love to eat strawberries!" a chibi Sakura said.
"Me neither!" Syaoran also replied.
"What happened?" Sakura curiously asked.
"Well." Yamazaki began.
"Yamazaki-kun! Baka baka!" Chiharu came over, yelled at him, and dragged him away.
"That was all fake?" Sakura and Syaoran both asked feeling very stupid.
(End of Flashback)
Syaoran chucked to himself as he recalled the memory, they were all so happy when they were young and now look at Sakura she completely hated him! He hated himself for leaving he could have stood up to his mother, but then again she would have scared the hell out of him over the telephone for not coming back. He was interrupted when the principal called them to the office.
"Li-san and Li-kun I am very sorry to have you be sent here on the first day of your school, I know you probably still had a little jet leg so I'll wave it. You may leave to your next class." She said kindly.
As they got out Meiling whispered to Syaoran "She must think we're from the other side of the world or something because Hong Kong only has an hour difference for time and that's not really jet leg. Anyways I already adjusted to that yesterday." She finished happily.
"Be glad she thought that!" Syaoran snapped glaring at her.
"Oh Syaoran don't be so upset, Kinomoto-san still loves you!" Meiling whispered giggled.
Syaoran just turned very red and Meiling knew she had won. Soon they ended up at the entrance to their next class.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
After listening to many boring classes the lunch bell finally rang. "Finally the frickin' bell rings!" Sakura said aloud angrily, everyone leaving turned to look at her, "What the hell are all of you looking at?" She shouted at them. Everyone quickly went back to what they were doing. *Damn it* I can't concentrate on anything anymore. * Well all I have to do is avoid him while he's here. Oh there's Tomoyo."
"Sakura-chan! Let's go eat but the bridge again." Tomoyo piped.
"Okay, whatever." Sakura answered.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
"Syaoran go eat with anyone you want, I'm going to eat with Kinomoto-san and Daidouji-san. Oh by the way, stay clear of the bridge." Meiling warned and left.
"Okay" Syaoran whispered sadly. *No one to eat with now, wait is that Yamazaki-kun?*
"Yamazaki-kun?" Syaoran questioned.
"Hai, that's me!" Yamazaki answered.
"Don't you remember me?" Syaoran asked.
"Umm. Syaoran? Is that really you? Chiharu, hey look it's Syaoran!"
A girl with long brown hair pulled into two kawaii French-twists turned around and completely freaked when she saw Syaoran. "Oh my God! Syaoran we've missed you so much!" With that she pulled him into a hearty hug. "Sakura has changed so much and she doesn't talk to us anymore..." She began but burst into sobs, after a few minutes she sniffled them and began again. "She called me a lying bitch and I was only using her and." but started crying again. "She. (sniffle). never. (sniffle). wanted. to. (sniffle). see me.again."
"Oh Chiharu, it's okay" Yamasaki comforted. "Gomen ne Syaoran" Yamazaki apologized "Sakura hurt Chiharu a lot and she always said 'if Syaoran comes back Sakura will change'." Yamazaki smiled sadly.
"Now that you're back, Sakura will be back to normal!" Chiharu smiled tearfully.
"What happened when I left?" Syaoran asked anxiously.
"Well Sakura waited for you to send a letter, call, anything to let her know you didn't forget about her, but you never called or anything. It just broke her heart and finally she got fed up with it and became a completely different person. She scared up away from her by yelling at us and calling us names." Yamazaki finished still hugging Chiharu.
*Same story Tomoyo told Me.* Syaoran thought bitterly.
"Hey you can come eat with us." Yamazaki replied happily after seeing Syaoran still clutching his lunch bag.
"Alright." Syaoran relied happily.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
(Bridge)
"Daidouji-san, Daidouji-san" Meiling waved to Tomoyo and Sakura as she ran over to them.
"Meiling-chan!" Tomoyo waved back.
"Sakura -chan say hello to Meiling!" Tomoyo chimed
"I know perfectly well who she is, but what is she doing here?" Sakura snapped.
"Whoa, Sakura temper temper" Meiling joked.
"Sakura we were wondering if you'd like to go to the park with us and eat a little snack after school." Tomoyo asked hesitantly.
"Wait? Is the bastard Syaoran going?" Sakura asked.
"No the bastard Syaoran isn't going." Meiling said angrily.
"Great! I'll go!" Sakura replied in a fake happy voice.
They chatted and talked about their day but Meiling didn't mention anything about Syaoran just in case it made Sakura mad. Meiling thought Sakura hadn't changed that much except for the multiple cussing that she and Syaoran did a lot of. She seemed cheerful and happy but Meiling saw right through her, it was as if she was wearing a mask. *A really fake and ugly one* Meiling thought bitterly. After a while lunch was over and classes begun again. In the afternoon Meiling, Tomoyo, and Syaoran all had music while Sakura had study hall. They discussed the plan that was to take place that afternoon.
When school ended Syaoran headed for Sakura's house and Meiling, Sakura, and Tomoyo headed for Tomoyo's house. Meiling, Sakura, and Tomoyo made little sandwiches and a cake for their picnic.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
*Well this is it,* Syaoran thought feeling a little scared as he rung the doorbell.
A man around his fifties answered the door and Syaoran knew without a doubt that it was Fujitaka Kinomoto.
"May I help you young man?" he asked politely.
"Uh yeah I actually came to talk to you." Syaoran started feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Well in that case please come in." he said kindly.
He led him into what looked like the living room and went into the kitchen to get some tea and snacks. Syaoran just sat there dumbly looking around at the surroundings. Old memories of his childhood flooded back, some wonderful and some terrible. He remembered this was the place that he told Sakura he had to go back to Hong Kong. She had started crying and he was comforting her and then Touya stepped into the room completely freaking out. He smiled at that memory and at the same time Mr. Kinomoto came back with the snacks.
As he sat down he said "So what brings you back here, Li-san?"
"How do you know who I am?" Syaoran asked very surprised.
"Instinct" Mr. Kinomoto answered.
"Oh I'm here to talk about Sakura." Syaoran said seriously.
"Yes, different isn't she?" Mr. Kinomoto asked.
"Yeah very different, why did she change?" Syaoran asked anxiously.
"She felt that her character needed more verity" Mr. Kinomoto lied.
"Is that all? Nothing else?" Syaoran asked a bit upset that there was no other explanation.
"Nope." Mr. Kinomoto said casually.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
(Same Time when Syaoran rang the door bell)
"Wow this place is great!" Meiling said as the park by the lake came into view.
"Yeah, where is this place Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"It's like five blocks from your house Sakura." Tomoyo answered surprised that Sakura hadn't been here before.
"Never been here before." Sakura said.
"Come on lets go find a picnic table!" Meiling shouted as she ran towards the lake.
"Wait up Meiling-chan" Tomoyo called as she also broke into a run.
Sakura who had to carry the basket of food had no choice but to walk slowly to where they were running.
After they had been there for almost half an hour, Sakura had asked to go home but Tomoyo and Meiling told her to stay and they talked about really weird and strange things. Sakura thought there was something wrong and began thinking; there must have been a reason why they didn't want her to go home. At that she got up and told them that she had to go to the bathroom, and then when they weren't looking she called for a taxi to take her home.

Cherryblossom419: -Finally I finished it! I had so many people IMing me it was hard to keep to the story, but I'll update again soon! By the way I finally got a title, if you don't like it, more ideas are accepted. ^.^ The title was from Virgo Writer's ideas. Thanks for all the help!
