The Declaration Of War
Syaoran regretted what he said as soon as he said it.
Sakura just gave him one look, and ran from class with tears in her eyes.
Tomoyo turned to him, gave him a I-don't-want-to-even-KNOW-what-you-did look, turned to Eriol who was her partner, slapped him, stood up and walked off after Sakura.
Everyone watched her go. Then they turned to stare of Syaoran. He looked away, his face bright red.
"Dude," Eriol said, "what did you do? I was getting along just fine with that Daidouji girl, and next thing you know, she slaps me!"
"Nothing," Syaoran grunted.
"Hey, if that was nothing, then do you think she would have tears in her eyes," Julian pointed out.
"Well baby, I had tears in my eyes when you said you didn't love me," Eriol said.
"SHUDDUP!" Julian and Li shouted.
"We've got a real crisis here," Li muttered.
"Ok, ok...fine...just to let you know, Daidouji and I weren't even talking if that makes you feel better. We were having a glaring contest."
"Hey Syaoran, nice doing to the new girl," a voice said behind him.
"Hey Chiharu," Eriol said.
"Get lost," she said to Eriol and turned to Syaoran to give him her full attention.
"She deserved it, her and her good-for-nothing friend."
"And like YOU don't deserve it?" Julian said.
The guys cracked up.
"Never speak to a girl like that," and she left.
"Well, anyway, stuff them. They can go cry," Syaoran said, thinking about Sakura and her friend.
"Hey baby, if you said that to me, then –" Eriol started but never finished.
"SHUDDUP ERIOL!"
"Touya, I'm home..." Sakura said, not shouting as usual.
"Hmm, what's wrong now? Not your usual clumsy self?" Touya said, coming down the stairs.
"Whatever baka, look, I'm going to sleep." And she walked past him.
"Hmm, what's wrong with her this time?" Touya muttered as his sweet little sister slowly dragged herself up the stairs.
"Hey Syaoran."
A voice said behind him and he turned, thinking it was Chiharu. But it wasn't, it was Sakura. It was the next day, and Sakura had a long think
"Hmm, now when were we on speaking terms?" Syaoran questioned.
"Yeah, and when were YOU allowed to call HIM Syaoran?" Julian sniggered.
"I-I just wanted to say that-that if you wanted to apologize, you don't have to. And if you wanted to be friends..." but she never finished.
"In her dreams," Eriol said.
"Look girl, I don't talk to loners." And that was the end of their conversation.
Before class had actually started, Sakura and Tomoyo were already there nice and early. Sakura had been blown off by Syaoran, and decided to take refuge in the classroom. Only to find Tomoyo there, being picked on by Chiharu and her no good friends.
Everyone knew that they weren't on Syaoran's good side.
"So girl, what's with the clothes? The hair? The dog?" Chiharu sneered.
"What dog?" Sakura asked.
"THAT dog," Chiharu said, pointing at Tomoyo.
Tomoyo stared at her, tears welling up in her eyes, and she ran off.
"Ok, look, I don't know what's up, but you seriously have a problem. The clothes? I'm wearing school uniform for crying out loud. The hair? This is my normal hair, natural colour and style. The dog? Well, you're the dog. The bitch. Now if you excuse me..." Sakura walked to the door, only to come face-to-face with Syaoran. Great...baka alert.
"Tomoyo!" and Sakura ran after her, pushing past Syaoran.
The boys who had just arrived, turned around, surprised at what had happened, and then turned to Chiharu.
"I did nothing," was her answer, "She started to yell at me and she ran off with her dog – oops, I mean friend."
"Yeah, whatever Chiharu," the boys said, turning away to sit down at their desks.
Who would believe in Chiharu anyway?
Sakura and Tomoyo walked into the cafeteria, and as soon as they walked in, Syaoran couldn't help shouting, "SULKS!"
They ignored him. From then on, everyone knew that these girls were on his bad side, and nobody ever went against Syaoran. He was the most popular guy in school and his family was so rich. Who dared to be on his bad side?
"Hey, I thought you didn't believe in Chiharu," Julian said.
"Yeah, but you know me, I can't help insulting them," Syaoran growled.
"Is it that or is it that you like that girl?" Julian asked. Syaoran turned bright red. Eriol, apparently, had other things on his mind.
Eriol turned to Julian and said, "Baby, if you even dare to insult me, I will – "
"Shuddup Eriol!" Julian snarled.
Eriol squealed and hid under the table. After a few minutes, he popped up his head and said, "Darling, please don't use that tone of voice on me again – "
"SHUDDUP ERIOL!" Julian roared.
Eriol quickly scrambled beneath the table, while everyone around them started laughing.
"You want me to prove it to you Julian? I'll make her the biggest loser there is. See, everyone won't even dare be her friend!"
"Sure...the last time you proved something to me, you tried to prove that your rubber ducky was faster than my Lizzy, my lizard. And in the end your rubber ducky didn't even move! You always lose at that sort of stuff!" Julian laughed.
"Julian, that was in first grade. I'm not that stupid now."
"Hey Sakura," a voice said behind her. She was busily munching on a corn chip and she didn't want to be interrupted.
Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran.
"Funny, isn't it? Anyway, when were we on speaking terms?"
"Hey, look, I was wondering Sakura whether – "
"Hey DON'T CALL ME SAKURA, OK?"
"Huh? When were you so...up yourself?" Syaoran asked, startled that she had shouted at him.
"Hmm, let's think…," Sakura started, saying it sarcastically, "EVER SINCE I MET YOU!" Sakura shouted.
"What's wrong with you woman?" Syaoran said.
"GET LOST LI, OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO CHINA!"
"Why should I listen to you?" Syaoran growled.
"FINE! I DECLARE WAR WITH YOU, SYAORAN LI!"
Sakura ran off and pushed through the crowd. The crowd consisted of everyone in the cafeteria, since everyone heard Syaoran and Sakura arguing.
"Man, that girl NEEDS to be tamed," Julian said.
"Yeah, well not by my man," a voice purred behind them.
"I am not yours, Chiharu," Syaoran sighed.
"Who says?"
"I do."
"FINE THEN!" and she walked off.
"Jeez, what's up these girls these days?" Eriol commented.
"So, I'll guess I'll see you all tomorrow, ok?" Syaoran said to Eriol and Julian as school ended for the day.
"YEAH, BUT AT LEAST YOU'LL BE DRY TOMORROW!" a voice above them said.
Before they knew it, a bucket of water was poured on top of them.
"PERFECT!" Tomoyo yelled and did a high-five with Sakura from the top of the balcony.
"HAVE YOU HEARD OF WATER RESTICTIONS?" Syaoran yelled.
"NO! AND I DON'T CARE!"
"I'll get you Kinomoto, if it is the last thing I do!" Syaoran yelled.
"I'm soaking wet!" Eriol exclaimed and turned to Julian, who was also wet, "Baby, if I –"
"SHUUDUP ERIOL!" Julian yelled.
Tomoyo giggled at them.
"What are you laughing at?" Eriol demanded.
"You," Tomoyo said cheerfully.
"I'm gonna get you," Eriol yelled.
The two girls looked at each other and yelled together, "CATCH US IF YOU BOTH CAN!"
The girls fled down the stairs and through a back door and ran. Behind them, two idiots were chasing them.
"Tomoyo, SPLIT UP!" Sakura yelled.
"Right on, sis!"
Sakura turned left, Tomoyo turned right.
"Hey Eriol, catch the girl. I'm after Kinomoto," Syaoran yelled.
"What?!" Eriol shouted.
"Catch the girl!"
"Which girl?"
"That one," and Syaoran pointed to Tomoyo.
"Huh?"
"Dude, you need glasses."
"I already have them."
"Well, do you want me to break them?"
"Why?"
"Coz you can't even see the girl you're chasing!"
"Yes I can," and Eriol pointed to Tomoyo.
"SERIOSLY ERIOL, HOW SLOW CAN YOU BE?!"
"HAHA, you can't catch me!" Tomoyo yelled.
"Oh, is that so?" Eriol shouted, accusingly.
"Yeah, you wanna know why?"
"Why?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE THE GINGERBREAD MAN!" Tomoyo laughed.
"The gingerbread man?" Eriol stopped to a halt, "I don't get that."
Eriol examined his hands. Are my hands made out of gingerbread? Mmm...yum...bite OWWWWWW, my hands aren't made of gingerbread!! Wait a minute...And as soon as he looked up, Tomoyo was out of sight.
"DAMN! Now Syaoran is gonna kill me, I totally stuffed it up!" Eriol whimpered.
"HAHA, you'll never catch me, Li!"
"Just you wait, Kinomoto, until I get my hands on you."
"Hands ON ME?"
"Yeah, hands ON YOU"
"Are you a pervert?"
"A WHAT?!" Syaoran nearly tripped.
"You said you wanted to get your hands ON ME."
"I didn't – I didn't…"
"HAHA" Sakura was laughing so much she wasn't paying much attention to her speed.
"Haha, caught you." And Syaoran grabbed Sakura.
"ARGH!" and the both of them fell, tumbled and stopped.
Syaoran was on top of Sakura and he stared into her emerald eyes. And she stared back.
Oooh, wonder what happens next, eh? Reviews please!! I thoroughly enjoy them. I hope you like the revised version on chapter 2...
