Chapter 6
Rei's Revenge
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Eriol.." Sakura sighed over the phone to Tomoyo, her best friend. "What could ever come between us?" Sakura continued in a love struck voice.
"Oh..nothing!" Tomoyo replied, refraining from telling her friend that Li Syaoran was back on the market, and only shopping for her. Unfortunately, her hesitation gave her away.
"What is it, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked, obviously curious. "What could ever possibly come between Eriol and I? I know that there's SOMETHING you aren't telling me. So spill, what is it?" Sakura said, she knew her best friend too well, though not half so well as her best friend knew her.
"Syaoran broke up with Liang." Tomoyo admitted bluntly.
"It's about time! That girl didn't seem very nice." Sakura replied approvingly.
"Don't you get it, Sakura? Syaoran is single, and I believe he still cares for you." Tomoyo explained.
"No, I don't think YOU get it, Tomoyo! I am in love with Eriol-kun now, I doesn't matter to me what Li-kun does or does not do with his love life." Sakura retorted with passion.
"Sakura-chan, Li is desperate. He'll stop at nothing to get you. Sakura, Li wants you back, badly."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran walked into the flower shop and walked strait to the front desk.
"One thousand cherry blossoms to be delivered to Kinomoto Sakura at this address, please attach this message to the card." Syaoran paid the clerk the appropriate amount and handed him the card on which his message was written and then left without a second glance.
'Sakura must be mine.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Are you a Kiyomoko Sakuta?" asked a delivery person in front of Sakura's house.
"I'm Kinomoto Sakura, if that's what you mean." She replied, somewhat anxious to see what the man had brought for her.
"Sign here." He ordered. She happily obliged taking the gigantic order of flowers with her.
"A flower for every day I've missed you.
A flower for every day I should have been there for you.
A flower for every time you needed me and I wasn't there.
A flower for every week waited for me.
A flower for being the girl I love.
A flower for being you.
A flower for being Sakura.
A sakura for Sakura.
A thousand sakuras for Sakura.
Forever yours,
Syaoran."
Sakura read the card and felt hot tears on her cheeks. He still loved her. "A flower for being the girl I love." She read. Did she still love him?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura wanted desperately to still love Syaoran. The problem was, she was hopelessly and desperately in love with Eriol. And not even a thousand Syaorans or a thousand flowers could EVER change that. She walked into the home economics class that she took with Eriol and as usual, she sat down beside him and kissed him softly.
"I'll be right back. Tell Mokuma-sensei that I went to the washroom." Sakura told him before heading out of the class.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Perfect!' Thought Liang Rei as she walked towards Eriol's desk. 'Absolutely perfect!'
"Ohayo nasai, Eriol-kun! It's a beautiful morning, isn't it?" Rei asked innocently, too innocently.
"Indeed it is Liang-san. Every morning that I see the face of the one I love, Sakura-koi, is beautiful." Eriol replied with a smile.
"Oh, yes!" Rei responded, she had obviously NOT been listening. "Umm..is this seat taken, Eriol-kun?" she added sweetly.
"Yes, it is, Liang-san.." He answered, rather annoyed that he'd called her "Eriol-kun". Only Sakura could call him "Eriol-kun" or perhaps even Tomoyo, but CERTAINLY not Liang Rei.
"Oh good!" she said as she sat down beside him.
"But.." Eriol started.
And then it happened.
Rei forced her lips against Eriol's and although he desperately tried to break free, he could not escape her evil embrace. Sakura walked back into the classroom only to see what she thought was them kissing passionately.
"HIRAGIZAWA-BAKA, HOW COULD YOU!?" she screamed. "YOU ARE TWO-TIMING ME FOR HER!? AND TO THINK THAT I ACTUALLY BELIEVED YOU WHEN YOU SAID YOU HAD NEVER LOVED ANYONE BUT ME!?" With that Sakura took a sharp knife from a nearby cupboard and ran, tears following her.
"SAKURA!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "SAKURA!" But she was gone.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura ran through the trees, feeling hurt and dejected. It had been a wolf who had slain her love; it merely hadn't been Li Syaoran. It had been Liang Rei, though she did not know this.
She sat down in a clearing in the forest, still sobbing hysterically, and placed the knife to her chest.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You." Eriol growled to Rei. "You destroyed her. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT."
There was such strength, such hatred in Eriol's eyes that Rei obeyed. Seconds after Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran ran in the pursuit of Sakura, hoping it wouldn't be too late.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Why, Eriol-koi, why? I loved you so much. I would have DIED if it wasn't for you! And now I will die because of you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
End of Chapter.
I left a MAJOR plot twist and MAJOR cliffy. Sorry 'bout that. No this fic probably won't have a sad ending with Sakura dying. Yeah. NEXT CHAPTER IS THE FINAL CHAPTER! Eriol or Syaoran? You decide! Review! The more reviews I get, the sooner I'll update. I'm actually thinking about doing another chapter of "Flowers of China". Ja ne!
Thanks to all my reviewers from chapter 5! (and before then too!) sakura tenshi.AnGeL oF lOvE-No, I can't tell you just yet! ^-^ Next chapter you'll find out! sakurachan11301-I'm glad you like it. That's 1 vote for E+S at the end! ccsluver santapaws914 lil c-b-Lol! I laughed at that part too! ^o^ I'll try to get the next chapter up soon! Chibi Menchi-I feel kind of bad for him too..
