Through Drunken Eyes
by: maixwolfblossom
--Chappie Three—
--It's Not What It Seems—
Yes…I needed her…
But as soon as I realize this…
I'm too late.
I still see the pain that left her eyes when she said her last words to me.
It's a dream that never goes away.
In her memory, I have done my purpose to give up the thing that ruined her and our relationship, one day, when I meet with her again, she'll forgive me…hopefully…
Sometimes I look up to the sky and I ask for forgiveness everyday, hoping that she'll hear me coincidently and answer me back.
Sakura…
A name that brings me to my knees, a voice that whispers itself in my dreams, a delicate petal that floats to my heart.
…Sakura…
Boy, does one year change everything through the course of time.
Our relationship was a short period of time, but those three years together was the best of my life and I wish it had lasted longer. Maybe she'd still be enjoying her life here.
It all started with the drinking when I turned eighteen. Why did I have to go and ruin her perfectly laid out life?
Why hadn't she read the signs that pointed out that I was a violent bastard?
Memory
Sakura bumped into a mysterious blue-haired stranger, hardly recognizing him.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sakura blushed, embarrassed.
He took one glance at he and smiled, "It's okay Sakura-san."
She looked up surprised and tilted her head slightly, "Hoe? Do I know you?"
He laughed briefly, before answering, "I'm surprised that you don't recognize me, Kinomoto-san. It's me, Yamasaki Takashi, the guy that moved away from Seijou High last year? You're old friend from elementary?"
Sakura's eyes widened, Yamazaki changed a lot in a year. His pale skin was unusually tanner and his navy blue hair was a shade darker.
Syaoran shifted his glance from the bar to where Sakura was. He already had two bottles of hard liquor in his system. He suddenly tensed seeing Sakura's eyes widen in pleasure before the man she was talking to.
Somewhere in his consciousness he knew Sakura was loyal and wouldn't try anything that would ruin their relationship, but at the same time his common sense faded with every minute.
She's just being polite.
But I don't trust that guy…
Trust Sakura, she's a smart girl…
Yeah right, look at the way her eyes are twinkling in admiration…
The gleam of interest in her eyes
That guy is interested!
His mind reeled losing control, his thoughts trailed wildly at the threat of the man that was speaking to Sakura. Anger boiled through Syaoran's veins as he watched the man laugh at Sakura's reaction.
"Y-y-Yamazaki-kun? Omg! You've changed a lot!"
Yamazaki chuckled lightly and smiled.
"SO, how's Li-kun? I haven't heard from him for ages! I heard he got accepted to the University of Hong Kong and you too?"
Sakura nodded her head, "yeah, I don't think I could be away from him for too long."
Takashi smirked, "Same with Chi and me."
As Syaoran's amber eyes burned through the unaware duo, his heart clenched at what he thought was Sakura's act of flirting.
In his fury, he got up and angrily made his way to the two.
Sakura smiled knowingly, "I guess we've got it bad for the ones we love, ne?"
"Hai (yeah)."
The bright, colorful lights reflected against their skin as they watched the people dance. Suddenly Sakura saw Chiharu coming from behind Takashi and beamed at her.
Sakura giggled lightly knowing what was going to happen next.
"Chiharu's here to snag you away, Takashi-kun. Oyasumi! (Good Night)"
Sakura stepped forward and gave Takashi a brief hug before letting him go and whispered to Chiharu as she hugged her too.
"Take care of him…he's a special one, this one. Yamasaki-kun really cares for you."
As she pulled away a bright smile splayed its way to Chiharu's lips, "I will."
With that last remark, Sakura turned to find herself face-to-face Syaoran's flaming amber eyes.
"Oh, hi Syao-kun!"
Syaoran's eyes showed no indifference. Slowly, Sakura's smiled faded seeing something strange flicker in his diluted eyes. First it was jealousy, then anger. Hoping she was just imagining it, she uncertainly took his hand in hers feeling him flinch in her touch.
"Umm…do you want to go home?"
Syaoran let go of her hand harshly and shouted at her.
"Don't you go and think everything's all right! I saw you with that-that guy!"
Sakura pointed a thumb over her shoulder with her brow raised, "You mean T--"
"Yes I mean that GUY!"
Takashi shifted uncomfortably under Syaoran raging orbs of fire. He could feel the heat burn his body. He also had a feeling that Syaoran was drunk.
"Now, see here Li. I wasn't trying to pull anything on Sakura-chan. Don't you remember me? It's Takash--"
With every look from the guy to Sakura and back, his temper rose. How dare this man flirt with his Sakura! His anger wouldn't cease. Deep inside he knew he must stop, but this time the anger was stronger.
"Listen, you! I don't know how the hell you knew my name and who are. Just leave my girl alone! You got it!"
Everyone on the dance floor stopped what they were doing and watched the argument between the two men.
Syaoran broke away from Sakura's grip and pinned Takashi against the wall.
"You listen and listen well. LEAVE MY GIRLFRIEND ALONE!"
Takashi choked under the pressure of Syaoran's grasp, his head turning into a dark shade of red.
"Come on, Syao, he wasn't doing anything! It's Takashi-kun! Remember? Yamazaki Takashi! The guy who told us lies in the fourth grade about chocolate!"
Sakura tugged Syaoran away from Takashi afraid that he would kill their childhood friend. She didn't want any trouble tonight since it was their 2-year anniversary. Somehow Sakura's words trailed their way into his mind.
Realizing what a fool he looked like at the moment, Syaoran put Takashi down while Takashi rubbed his neck soothingly.
Sakura shook her head in sadness. Syaoran's common sense returned little by little as he slightly turned to Yamazaki and apologized half-heartedly for Sakura's sake.
Takashi grimly smiled and shook Syaoran's hand. Chiharu was in complete disarray with pity for Sakura.
She frowned as she turned to Syaoran as she hugged Takashi, her head lying on his chest.
"Syaoran, take care of Sakura…you don't want to end up lonely without her."
With that she dragged Takashi out of the club. The silence was still engulfed in the club Sakura shivered in nervousness from Syaoran's actions. It was a first time she had seen him act possessive and aggressive towards people, but she knew why.
"I thought you stopped drinking Syaoran…"
A silence followed her statement. Syaoran hadn't bothered to deny it.
A sad smile made its way to her face. Tears threatened to fall, but she held them back. She loved him and eventually…she'd forgive him.
"I need time alone…I'll see you later Li…take the cab, I'll take the car."
Syaoran watched helplessly at Sakura as she brushed past him leaving the club.
A few emotions seemed to penetrate his deluded mind; a sparse hint of guilt, lost pride, but a strong point came to mind. He held a hint of remorse and anger for not believing in Sakura as it made its way into his jumbled brain.
A mumble of a lie left his lips as the last of her glimmering auburn hair disappeared.
"It's not what it seems…"
End
Why she didn't break up with me then is still a mystery.
How can she love this cold-hearted beast?
Can she not see that I was a burden to her, to bring her humiliation when I did a dumb act of selfishness?
I wish I'd never met her, maybe then she would've been a happier person.
I just wanted to let her know that she was the best thing that happened to me and I hoped she didn't regret being with me cause I know I didn't.
Because…
She'll always be the air that feeds the fire within my hungry soul.
The soul that filled my own.
The motivator that strengthened me to face reality.
Heaven's angel…
…My angel…
…Sakura…
