CHAPTER FIVE

Syaoran's Plan

I had just gotten home from my time with Eriol. Man, was I tired. We went around and talked about things. It was great having spent time with Eriol again. Touya was nagging me about what happened. My father was still stuck up with business but still asked where I had gone. Woah, I brought a vibe inside our house and I like it! :)

"Was the gaki with you and Eriol?" my brother asked.

"Who? Syaoran? Nah. Didn't even see him," I told him. I leapt on my bed and stared at the ceiling for no particular reason. I felt so happy. I was so happy I met Eriol. I took hold of my wallet and slipped out the picture me and Eriol had taken a while ago in the mall. It was so cute! I mean, *we* were so cute. Anyway, I put the picture back in my wallet then got myself ready for bed.

* * *

It has been one month since Eriol and Sakura have been together. People in school know all about their new-sprung relationship. Teachers aren't complaining like they usually did so with other students who tend to flunk when involved in a relationship. With Eriol around, it wasn't an issue with Sakura at all. Eriol, being the cool school guy helps her out but not to a point of cheating. That's stupid.

Apparently, Syaoran was the only one who was not enjoying any of this. Like he had been before, he was still against the idea of Eriol plus Sakura. It was like one dumb equation that he didn't even want to solve. He just didn't like Sakura. Not even for a little bit. But the thought of that Kinimoto girl's reputation getting destroyed soon pleased him badly. He had it all planned out. All he needed was the right time. He just needed to catch the right moment.

~*~

Syaoran was talking to this certain popular kid in the same level. He was one of the populars who so happened to be one of the "hot shots" in campus. Syaoran was talking to him for this one "important" reason, or should I say purpose. During dismissal, unfortunately, Eriol couldn't join Sakura and bring her home. That wasn't such a big deal for Sakura. It was the fact that she couldn't go with Eriol.

Sakura was making her way through the crowd of students and outside the building. She needed to get something from the library so she decided to go back in. Not many students stayed in the building after classes so Sakura found no difficulty getting to the library. But of course, you can't say there were a few students in there. Syaoran, seeing this as an opportunity, seized it and gave the signal to his friend who took position nearby. As Sakura was walking down the hallway, the guy stood in front of her, blocking her way.

"Excuse me, Kagami Jin," she tried to get through but he was persistent and did not allow her to do so.

"What's about you and me get together?" Jin told Sakura.

Sakura couldn't believe what she heard him say. That was gross. So maybe Jin was all that, good at sports, a big time hottie, somehow passing grades, and attracted many girls. One thing he wasn't good at was hiding the fact that he was just one hell of a jerk with good looks. Sakura knew that. She was a pro in recognizing morons.

A grin made its way on Jin's lips as he pushed Sakura against the wall. "Hello Kinimoto," he uttered as his hand began to crawl underneath Sakura's shirt.

"What the hell?! Get away from me you asswipe!" she said aloud.

Jin kept Sakura pinned to the wall as he smirked then kissed her forcibly. Sakura could not force herself away since he held her firmly. She could not break free of his hold and he just continued to kiss her by the corridor. The bad thing was that it appeared like Sakura didn't want to "repel" him.

When Jin finally broke off their kiss, Sakura felt like throwing up. The moment she looked away, she saw a certain Eriol still in his tracks, staring at her direction. "Eriol! This isn't what you think it is!" Sakura insisted but Eriol ignored her efforts to explain. Eriol couldn't believe the sight he saw. With not a minute to lose, Eriol turned and headed the other way. Sakura looked at Jin who was grinning profusely at seeing this. She brought her hand hard on his cheek, leaving a bright red mark at that spot. Sakura was in pain even when it was not her who was slapped hard. Eriol was leaving. She needed to do something before it was too late. She ran as though she was running for her life just to catch up to Eriol. "Eriol! Please! Let me explain!" Sakura called out to him.

Eriol refused to stop and look at Sakura in the eye. Sakura tried but failed anyway. Eriol was devastated to see his girlfriend in some other guy's arms. He didn't want to even listen to what Sakura had to say. Sakura caught up to him but all her efforts were in vain. Eriol was too shocked to even hear her out. "Leave me alone!" he told her with anger in his tone of voice.

"No! What you saw isn't true!" Sakura exclaimed, not minding her pride's sake.

"Yeah, it wasn't what you intended! You just wanted to make me believe you actually loved me back!" Eriol talked back harshly. "Syaoran was right from the beginning! You're not worth anything at all!"

Tears cascaded down Sakura's cheeks. "Eriol! Believe me! This is all a misunderstanding!" she cried.

"Damn right! It was all a misunderstanding or even worse, it was all a big stupid mistake that I even had feelings for... for a whore like you!" What Eriol said echoed in Sakura's ears. "Whore!" it kept shouting. As soon as he said all these, Eriol left. He left the school and left Sakura.

Sakura watched as her life seemed to pass right in front of her. She couldn't perceive exactly what was happening. Eriol was gone. He was never going to come back. She went back in the building only to find Jin had left. She took hold of her bag and rushed to her car then straight home.

She parked her car through the driveway and ran to her room with tears coursed down from her eyes, slamming the door behind her. It was all happening so fast. Everything happened before she even realized it. And now, she no longer had Eriol. He no longer cared for her just because of a stupid misunderstanding. Sakura couldn't help but continue to sob and curse to no one in particular. She should've just punched Jin. But NOOoo, she had to let him take the hold of her and let Eriol see it in the wrong perspective.

Sakura collapsed on her bed with more tears trailing down her pale cheeks. With her face on her arms, she cried endlessly, feeling the throb in her delicate heart. Her feelings had been crushed to a pile of rubble. It was too much for her to handle. Way too much indeed. She felt like pouring out every single teardrop until she just died right then and there.

How could she have been so helpless? God knows she loved Eriol so much and she let him go just like that. She was hurt by the way he looked at her with intense horror flickering from the amethyst eyes Sakura loved.

Something was wrong though. Sakura hadn't realized it just yet due to her emotional breakdown. Jin would never lay his dirty hands on any girl as a sort of harassment. That was completely out of his list on "how to freak people out". It would be so immoral for him to do such a thing. Unless... someone made him do it for a price.

~*~

Touya was surprised by how Sakura dashed to her room. She completely ignored him and it's unusual for Sakura to do that, at least not without a problem, a serious one at that. He wondered what happened and why she was acting like that. Not that he cared all that much but maybe he did, just enough to be concerned anyway.

~*~

"Eriol," Sakura whispered to herself, still crying like she would never stop. "Why didn't you even give me a chance to explain?"

"Sakura?" her father, Fujitaka, slightly opened the door to see what was going on. "May I come in?"

Sakura continued to weep and said nothing. Fujitaka came inside her room and sat by Sakura. She sat up and embraced him as he whispered words of comfort to his daughter. "Sakura, it's going to be okay," he said but Sakura made no response. "Everything is going to be fine," Fujitaka told her. He figured it would be better not to remind Sakura of what may have happened. He thought that just by simply comforting her would be enough.

"Eriol. I need him! Dad, I need him!" Sakura cried as her condition became worse. She started to hit her bed roughly. "Why?! Why does this have to happen?!" she screamed as she calmed down but kept crying still. Fujitaka stood up and went to the door.

"Sakura, be strong," he uttered and with that, he left and closed the door.

Sakura kept crying and crying until she could cry no more. She had lost stamina and was very tired by the time it was midnight. Her body couldn't keep up to her sorrow no matter how hard she tried to stay conscious. She fell back on her bed as she finally settled down and drew herself to sleep with nothing but Eriol in the depths of her mind.

~*~

Syaoran got home with a big smile crossing his face. He was satisfied with what happened. Now at last Eriol knew Sakura's true self, nothing but a selfish whore. But that was what Eriol thought she was. That was good enough for Syaoran. At least he can get him to stay away from her at last. Syaoran marched up to his room, smiling like an idiot. The moment he was just about to close the door behind him, a certain person rampaged through his room. And with that... came a...

...hard slap across his right cheek brought about by an angry Meilin. "Li Syaoran! I know it was you who caused the commotion in school a while ago! Jin would never do that for no reason at all!"

Syaoran was stunned by how fast Meilin was. With his hand on his swollen cheek, he replied, "W-what?! You c-can't just accuse me like that! You don't even have proof!"

"Proof?! I don't need a fucking proof!" Meilin shouted at him. "I've known you long enough to figure what's on your mind! Don't act so stupid! How could you be so insensitive?!"

Stupid and insensitive. Yes, that Sakura also called Syaoran such. "Shut up! She deserved to be left by Eriol! She's nothing but a slut playing on my best friend! A damn bitch that deserved to be dumped," he talked back. The irony of his words, he referred to Sakura as a slut.

"You have NO idea how happy Eriol and Sakura were. I cannot even believe you can be this selfish. I know this isn't any of my business, but how dare you destroy a relationship just like that. Syaoran, do actually think Eriol will be happy like this? So what will you do when he finds out it was all YOUR doing?! Huh?! Answer me!" Meilin demanded only to find that Syaoran was speechless. "Look Syaoran. I understand that you hate Sakura more than anything but with what you did, it seemed like you hated Eriol as well," she added before she walked out.

Syaoran stood there dumbfounded by what Meilin said. Could she have been... right?
