Chiharu's Dare Day 2(Revenge for Sakura)

Principal: Mr. Konishi
Eleven teenagers walked in, holding their heads high as a few teachers gave them looks of disgust, while others shuddered.
"Why are we here?" Sakura asked, yawning. "You're wasting my lunch hour."
"Ah… yes, Kinomoto Sakura, am I right?" Mr. Konishi tapped his fingers on the large table and smiled.
"Yes. Now get to the point."
"Alright, I wanted to give you more time to get a better look at the school, but since you don't feel the need to, I'll get straight to the point. You're all suspended."
"Wait!" Mr. Terada suddenly spoke up. "Sasaki Rika did nothing wrong. I don't think she should be suspended." He said, daring any teachers to disagree.
No one said anything for they all know he had a crush on her for the longest time... "Very well, Sasaki Rika, you may go…" Mr. Konishi said in a nasty voice. "But watch yourself… If I catch you do anything wrong… I'll make sure you are out this school for good. As the for the rest of you—"
Chiharu shook her head sadly. "Haven't you learnt you lesson yet?" She questioned sticking her hand into her pocket. "Or do we need another demonstration."
"NO!" He replied a little too quickly. "Alright, you too Mihara Chiharu… you may go." He forced out between gritted teeth.
Chiharu smiled pulled cutely at a strand of her shoulder length hair. "I knew you'd see things my ways… someday…" She winked and ran after Rika.
"As for the rest of you—"
"May I ask why we are to be suspended?" Sakura asked politely.
"Why? You're asking me why? Because of you lot, all the teachers are quitting! You are nothing but trouble causer, playing mean jokes on the teachers, and you're asking me why?!"
"Ashley's after Rika, Bryan's after Naoko, Tiana and Chloe are just trying to act bad, but the four of them hasn't done anything to the teachers…"
"Hasn't done anything?? I don't care if they've done anything to the teachers, they should be suspended even for swearing at student—"
"Which is exactly all they've done. I think a few months of detention should do the trick."
Mr. Konishi scowled. "They are dividing the students' attention in class and the teachers are no longer able to teach!"
"Then, you should hire better teachers. If I may, I can show you our agenda, it does not say swearing, can lead to suspension." Sakura stated, smirking.
"ALRIGHT! Tiana, Chloe, Bryan, Ashley, you're lucky this time, get out!"
The four of them walked pass Sakura and whispered an uncertain 'thanks' to her and walked away, blinking, wondering why she had decided to help them.
"Why did you help them?" Tomoyo whispered quietly to her.
Sakura shifted her gaze to Tomoyo. "I have a bad attitude, but I'm not evil." Her attention, once again, returned to her principal. "I would like a full explanation on why Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran are to be suspended."
"Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran are part of your little group, and I'm positive that they've done something wrong… hanging around with kids… like you."
"Oh yes, so are you saying, that Tomoyo should be suspended for video taping, while Eriol and Syaoran are to have the same punishment for trying to figure out the truth of what my friends and I are doing so they could report us to you?"
"B-But, they, how, why, what, then, why are you hanging around them if you know that they're only to get you in trouble?"
Sakura looked over every single one of the teachers. "I assure you, none of you teachers can find one thing to say about Tomoyo, she's done nothing but video taping, and frankly I don't know what you have against that. This is a hobby she's picked up since she was 10, so why suspend her for it now, 6 years later? As for Eriol, you really think he's that bad? He's Tomoyo's boyfriend for God's sakes! She would just let him do whatever he pleases while she watches? If that's the case, she'd have broken up with him a long, long time ago."
"Alright, Tomoyo, Eriol, you two may go as well." Mr. Konishi said nicely, though it sounded very forced. "Now," He breathed hard, glaring at the three of them. "No more excuses, you're all suspended!!"
"No, no, no, no!! That wouldn't be fair!" Sakura exclaimed in horror while putting her right hand over her heart as if she was deeply hurt. "Syaoran went through so much just to keep the school a good place for us to learn and this is how you repay him?!" She nudged him and said through clenched lips, "Just play along. You won't like what I'm going to say, but this is the only way to save you from suspension."
He looked hesitant, but then again, her plans never failed… He nodded slightly.
"Oh? And how can you say he went through 'so much' when he has told nothing to me about the bad behaviors of you and your little gang?"
"He had no prove of that you see? My friends and I have this plan, but he does not know if it's bad or not, and he tries so hard to find out, that he physically hurts me, and threatened to rape me if I don't tell him!" She grabbed Syaoran's hand and dug her nails into his palm to stop him from yelling his head off. "Of course, he never did rape me, just sexually harassed me."
Mr. Konishi's lips twitched as he stammered the words out. "V-Very w-well, that's, that's a-another reason to s-s-suspend him! Physically hurting you is b-bad enough, but, but sexual harassment is intolerable."
"WHAT?! Are you crazy?! He risked suspension just to make sure the school is safe place to be and all you're going to do is suspend him?! I think he deserve a little more credit than that!!"
"Are you saying that you don't mind that he gets no punishment after all he's done to you?!"
"I forgive him, after all, he was only trying to help the school right??"
"You, he, how, you, but, that's still unacceptable! I believe that it is part of the school rule that any physical contact with no permission of the other person can lead to suspension."
"Oh, well I'd better tell every student in the school to never to help their school again because even if you do, you'll be repaid by suspension." Sakura taunted.
"I, you, he, but, oh alright! He can go too." Mr. Konishi grumbled bitterly under his breath.
Sakura let go of Syaoran's hand and winked at him. "Wait for Naoko and I, we'll be out in no time." Syaoran nodded and whispered a small 'thanks'.
"ALRIGHT, NOW, NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, NAOKO AND SAKURA, YOU TWO ARE SUSPENDED FOR 50 DAYS!"
"No problem, but first, give me a few reasons why Naoko should be suspended."
"She was seducing Mr. Terada—"
"Only showing her true feelings."
"—called Mrs. Ranmutela a man—"
"Thought Mrs. Ranmutela was a man."
"—swore at Mr. Tsukino—"
"Already punished for that."
"—pretended to be in pain worrying the teacher while she wasn't—"
"She certainly wasn't faking."
"—stripped in front of the class—"
"Only trying to help."
"—pretended to have SARS and scared Mrs. Godley out of her wits—"
"I forced her to do that."
"—scared Mrs. Washiyo out of her own class—"
"Who knew she was such a scaredy-cat?"
"—and would've done something weird to Mr. Terada if he had not run out of his own class in the last period that day."
"Only going to squeeze his hand."
He glared at Sakura, she glared back. "Any more excuses?"
"This-is-not-over-Kinomoto… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YANAGISAWA? GET OUT!"
Naoko shrugged and walked out the room happily.
"Now… it's just you and me… Kinomoto…" He gave a maniac laugh and leaned towards her. "And you're not getting out of this office until I make sure you're EXPELLED."
"Oh, ok… you can expel me now if you want. I'll just go home and watch T.V or whatever… no big deal. But don't other calling my parents or anything, I live by myself. Have a nice day Mr. Konishi!!" He stood there in bewilderment and could not utter a single word as she bounced out cheerfully.
--
Sakura walked straight to her locker, packed her stuff, and headed out. As soon as she was outside the building, her friends all gathered around her.
"Hey Sakura! Thanks so much for getting us out of that! So, how did you manage to escape?? Mr. Konishi must've been pretty hard on you, after all, you were the one who started all this… Why are you holding your bag?"
"I'm expelled." She replied casually.
"WHAT?! You can't go!! School'll be hell again if you leave! Sakura, please don't!! We don't want you to leave us again!! Please reconsider!"
Sakura looked at each of their anxious faces and sighed. "You can still visit me after school… I could've of easily gotten myself out of this, but school is no longer fun for me, so I'm taking a little break." She pulled 4 cards out each of her pockets and handed them to Tomoyo. "Since I'm gone, you'll be in charge for this. Syaoran, don't try taking them from Tomoyo, this is between you and I, Tomoyo's not involved. Eriol, you will make sure Syaoran doesn't try anything on Tomoyo, or I will get her to break up with you." She looked at them one last time. "See you guys some other time. Stick together and be good to each other. Have a nice day ya'll! Bye!" She smirked and waved carelessly before walking away…
Chiharu glared at every single one of them. "We'll make the teachers pay for expelling her… let their life of hell, begin."
First Period…
"Make this worth while, alright Chi? Do your best, make it hell for the sake of Sakura…" Tomoyo whispered in a quiet, but firm voice. "They'll wish they never did what they did… They'll regret messing with my best friend…"
"You can count on me." Chiharu replied confidently. The dare was perfect for getting back at Mrs. Washiyo… They may think they've won, but in time, they would be at Sakura's front door begging for her to come back. "How many more minutes we have before the bell rings?"
"Around 10."
"Perfect. Nao, Rika, Tomo, can you guy do me a favour?"
"Sure."
"When you see Mrs. Washiyo thrown out of the class, lock her in the janitor's closet or something alright?"
"Of course…"
Chiharu nodded and walked into the class, her friends standing outside, waiting for the teacher to fly out.
"Why hello Chiharu, I never knew you came to class early." Mrs. Washiyo commented smugly. "I hope that little 'talk' in the office told you something, you can be suspended, so watch yourself."
"Get out."
"What—"
"NO! Don't talk to me! I say get OUT of the class and you're going to do it!" Chiharu screamed grabbing her shirt collar. "THE CLASS IS MINE FOR THIS PERIOD, YOU GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE!" She slammed her against and wall and glared. "NOW!"
"M-M-Ms. Mihara!"
"DON'T YOU MS. MIHARA ME! OUT, YOU HEAR ME?! THIS IS MY CLASS NOW! AND I'M ORDERING YOU TO LEAVE!" She stared straight at her and added in a haunting voice. "I'm going to make every single one of you pay for expelling Sakura…"
"I-I-I-I-I—"
"SHUT UP! Are you going to move or do I have to force you to?" She threatened opening the classroom door wider. When Mrs. Washiyo stood there trembling and made no move to leave, Chiharu pushed her backwards out the door and slammed her on the wall in the hallway. She looked at the three smirking girl and couldn't help but smirk back herself too. "Take her away."
--
The kids gathered, as a few small crowds of chatting teenagers entered the classroom. They were so into their conversation, they didn't even notice their change of teacher… but of course, it had not gone unnoticed by Syaoran and Eriol. The two boys walked up and leaned forward. "Um, Chiharu? What have you done to Mrs. Washiyo?"
Chiharu gave them a stern look. "Mr. Li, Mr. Hiiragizawa, go your seats, now, before I am forced to send you to the office, and it's Ms. Mihara to you."
Syaoran and Eriol looked at each other in confusion but obeyed anyways…
"Class… Please be quiet…"
"Oh my gosh! Really?"
"I know! Pretty unbelievable isn't it? I didn't believe her at first, but when I couldn't find Kinomoto anywhere, I knew the gossips were true!"
"Oh no! If she's gone, it's back to… BORING CLASS again!"
"So what? At least we have a chance at snatching that cutie Syaoran!"
"Class… I'm asking you to now shut up before I get ugly…" She raised her voice just a little.
"Yah, I guess you're right, after all, we still have Tomoyo, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko don't we? I don't know how they all got out including Bryan, Ashley, Tiana and Chloe but Kinomoto wasn't able to… it just seems too strange…"
"I don't know… maybe she didn't want to get stuck sitting here all day so she expelled herself or something…"
"And she's just going to leave us here in a life of hell?!"
"Well, Kinomoto's cool, but she wouldn't give a damn about anybody but Naoko, Rika, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Syaoran and Eriol… no clue why though… I mean I can understand the part about Syaoran and Eriol, they are like such cuties! But I don't understand why she bothers with the rest…"
"GODDAMIT YOU BUNCH OF PATHETIC LITTLE MONSTERS I SAID SHUT UP! CLASS IS STARTING!" Chiharu slammed her hands on the teacher's desk and screamed.
They heard her this time alright… "Chiharu?"
"IT'S MS. MIHARA TO YOU!" She spat angrily. "And speaking of disobedient brats, today's lesson, will be what to say when you're in the kind of meaninglessly stupid situation like I am in today…" She picked up a piece of chalk and wrote down four words that filled the whole black board in extra large letter; 'SHUT THE FUCK UP'. She underlined the word as she said, "this is what you say, when you're in a desperate situation of needing to shut some annoying brats up!" She faced the class. "Repeat after me, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
The class looked uncertain. "Um, shut the fuck up?"
"FUCK YOU ALL!" She screamed causing them to wince. "IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SPEAK IN THAT WEAK, PATHETIC VOICES OF YOURS, IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING! Let's try again, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
The student didn't want to be yelled at by their so-called-teacher again… "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" It was louder, but still weak.
"MUCH BETTER!" Chiharu commented with a smirk. "However, I have to say, if you're not in a desperate situation, try not to use the word 'fuck'." She said as she crossed out 'fuck' from the board.
"Um, Ms. Mihara, why are you saying the word 'fuck' then?" A student asked uncertainly.
"HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME?!" Chiharu pointed at the door. "OUT! AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!" The student quivered and ran out the door in tears. Chiharu looked at the rest. "If anyone, ANYONE asks about today's lesson… say Mrs. Washiyo taught you this, and not me… GOT IT?"
The students were unmistakably scared. "Y-y-yes Ms-Ms-Ms. M-M-Mihara-a…"
"Good. Now, repeat after me. SHUT UP!!"
"SHUT UP…"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP…"
Meanwhile…
She flipped through her phone book and decided to call Shena.
"Why you calling me?"
"Why are you home?"
"Fuck you, you called me why the fuck you asking me why I'm home you dick-sucking hoe!?"
"Shena, Shena, Shena… you never change do you…"
"Saku?"
"Sakura."
"WHATEVER! Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Why are you home at this time?"
"Skipping school. What about you? The same? Wanna chill?"
"I'm expelled."
"Nice try."
"I really am…"
"What? You expelled? How? That's just impossible."
"I wanted to get expelled, school bores me."
"Figures. So you're just going to leave?"
"Why not?"
"Well, you told me before you're moving to Tomoeda High because you wanted to see your what's-it-you-call-it again? Childhood friends or something? And now you finally got your chance you're just going to fuck it up like this?"
"…We can still hang after school…"
"I don't usually do this, Saku, but since you were a close friend of mine before, I have one thing to say: do the shit you wanna do, but also shits that you should do." She hung up.
Sakura looked at the phone weirdly as she too hung up. …but also things that I should do? She put the phone aside as she jumped into the clean, blue water of her swimming pool…
School…
The bell finally rang as the student zoomed out of the torture room, not wanting too feel more of 'Ms. Mihara's wrath'. The 13 students whom had been sent outside for their so-called misbehavior ran away as soon as the bell made its first ring.
Chiharu walked outside proudly where Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko and the guys were waiting. "That ought to teach that Washiyo lady to not mess with me anymore… not only was she stuck in a stinky closet for 40 minutes, but now, she will have to take the blame of something I did…" Chiharu gave them an evil smirk. "Whoever made this one up, I ought to thank them."
"Made what up?" Syaoran and Eriol asked.
"As Sakura would say, something you don't need to know." She replied, passing the card to Tomoyo. She pull out one more card out of Tomoyo's pocket and made sure the guys didn't see it. She suddenly stuffed the card in her pocket and gave a wide grin. "It's just gets better and better… for the first time, I'm glad we have double math…" Her hands touched the cold metal of an object in her pocket lightly… the only thing they currently have left of Sakura…
Yes, you're right. It's Sakura's gun.
It would've been a perfect chance for Syaoran to steal it from Chiharu, after all, Sakura only warned them about Tomoyo, but it seems there was no fun in it… in a way, he didn't really want the card that bad, what made if fun was the fact that Sakura was the one he's picking on, he'd like to see what kind of trick she'd plan for him next… and now that she's gone, whatever they were doing didn't seem so important anymore… it's almost like… he didn't seem to care anymore…
Yes, you're right again, life is dull without Sakura.
"Go…" Chiharu whispered quietly. "Go on, I'll be in class soon, go without me…" They nodded, watching the girl sigh sadly, it was bloody obvious, they missed Sakura, even though it had only been less than 2 hours, school was… the same again…
The news about the expulsion of Sakura spread faster than a flu, and by the end of lunch, everyone had found out about it, and weren't pleased… as rude as Sakura had treated them, they still admired her, and had to admit, she had made a drastic change in the school for the best. Only a few were glad she was gone, because when she was here, they couldn't concentrate, nor learn.
"Mihara, we need to talk…" Chiharu turned around and came face to face with people whom she had least expected; Ashley, Bryan, Chloe and Tiana.
"If you're here to cause more trouble please try again later because I really am not in the mood for it. Now get out of my face."
"We're not here to cause trouble… We just heard about what happened to Kinomoto and thought—"
"And thought you could laugh it in my face? Please do that another time, I'm planning a revenge on all the teachers and unless you want to have your body found dead tonight, leave, now."
"Wait." Tiana shook her head. "You're getting it all wrong Mihara-sama, we're not here to cause trouble, we… well, Kinomoto saved us from suspension, and of course, we're really angry and feel unfair that she is to be expelled… I mean we still like her and all, like she's a nice girl, and we like to hang around her more often, the first time I saw her I was just like wow, look at her, how cool! But it seems we never had a chance to hang with her because she had cooler people—"
"What she means to says is, we too, want to get back at all the teachers in the school for what they did." Chloe said, cutting short Tiana's rambling.
Chiharu seemed to be considering… "You don't have much to do, but I have a big part… then again… you guys can always make things better than they already are… can't you?"
"Sure." Bryan replied. "But remember, after Kinomoto's back, we go different ways. Don't think we're all best friends now… After everything settles, I'll be after her and Naoko, Ashley will still be after Rika, Chloe and Tiana would still try being like you…"
"Of course… I wouldn't like to have it any other way…"
--
Ashley raised her hand.
"Yes?"
"Mrs. Ranmutela, now that you've—well, all the teachers and the principal—has expelled Kinomoto, what do you think will happen to you?"
She blinked. "What do you mean? Everything will be more peaceful… What else?"
"Oh no, but you see, everyone loves Kinomoto, especially Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, Syaoran and Eriol… what if… they decided to have a little pay back for what you've done to their friend?"
"Like what are they going to do? I mean it's not like someone's just gonna barge in and put a gun beside my head! Hah! After all, she's nothing more than a student!"
If only you knew… "Ok, whatever you say… I'm simply asking a question, but reality will catch up to your simple mind, sooner or later… and not everything is… pleasant…" Ashley leaned back against her chair and smirked. "Just, keep that in mind for now…"
"Oh… kay??" Mrs. Ranmutela blinked a few times before getting back to work-of-the-day… Everybody groaned and prayed something would happen soon before they die from boredom… Now that they've got a taste of fun, work is just too unbearable…
A soft, barely noticeable knock was heard by the door, Ashley, Bryan, Tiano and Chloe silently counted to themselves… 3… 2… 1…
"EVERYBODY SCREAM!!" The four of them yelled in unison as an angry brunette suddenly kicked the door down with a gun in her hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"FREEZE!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
But no one heard, everyone besides Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko, Chloe, Tiana, Bryan and Ashley ran around the classroom screaming their heads off as if there was no tomorrow… On second thought, if Chiharu decides to get nasty, there might not be a tomorrow for them…
Chiharu pointed the gun towards the ceiling and pulled the trigger. She said not to shoot anyone, but didn't say not to shoot anything…
POW!
"I SAID FREEZE!"
This time, they heard her. Everyone put their hands into the air and closed their mouths, quavering.
"Much better." Chiharu held the gun tightly in her hand and slowly made her way towards Mrs. Ranmutela. She leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "I'll make every single one of you pay for expelling my best friend. You'll regret everything, I assure you."
Mrs. Ranmutela let out a squeal of fright. "Is, is, is t-t-this w-w-what y-you d-d-di-did-d-did to Mr. K-K-Konis-s-shi-shi?"
"Something like that… But more… fun…" She grinned. "I could kill you right now—" Mrs. Ranmutela whimpered. "But why kill you without getting all your cash first?" She stuck out her hand. "All your money, lady."
"A-A-An-An-and then y-you w-w-w-won't k-kill-ll-ll m-me-me-e-m-me?"
"I'll think about it." She looked at the rest of the class. "How many of you here hates Kinomoto Sakura?" Not a soul moved. "Good. Smart answer. Your lives are in no danger, do whatever you want while I deal with this nobody." Even as she turned away, no one moved, they were still frozen on the spot in the same position they were in minutes ago. "You, empty out your purse and pockets."
"Bu-I-Then-You-But—"
"NOW."
Mrs. Ranmutela reached into her pockets shakily and pulled out her purse. Opening it, she pulled out at least 800-dollars and set it on the table. She gave a frightened look and put her back against the black board.
"Whoa!" Chiharu commented as she stuffed the money into her pocket. "You're one rich lady… At least the money will be used for good now…"
"I was going to deposit it in my bank account today…" Mrs. Ranmutela mumbled.
"SHUT IT!"
Mrs. Ranmutela clamped her hand over her mouth and nodded her head viciously and looked as if she would burst into tears any second.
"That's better. Now, I want you, to use your imagination, and make this class a not boring one… how about it??
"O-Of c-course… class… uh, n-n-no homework.… to-to-ton-night-t-t-tonight…"
"WHAT? That's it?? No homework? You just can't wait till I pull the trigger can you? I guess, if that's the case, might as well put you out of your misery…"
"NO WAIT!"
"Yes?"
"I-I-I can ma-a-mak-ke the class f-f-f-fun… P-please, j-j-j-j-jus-st don't kill me! Please!"
"Let's see how good you are…"
Sakura…
She sat silently on the diving board and looked down into the water, at her own reflection…
…
Six-year-old Sakura ran happily towards her house. She pushed open the door and jumped inside. "Okaa-san! Otou-san! Onii-chan! Guess what Sensei taught me today?? She taught us how to make stars with paper and with straws!!"
Silence greeted her. "Okaa-san? Otou-san? Onii-chan? Are you home?" Sakura took a few steps forward into the dining room. Her feet stepped into something, and looking down, she saw a small puddle of red liquid. The further she walked, the larger the puddle became, and soon, the whole floor was covered in red.
Sakura turned and looked into the dining room. The second she did, she wish she hadn't…
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
…
Sakura closed her eyes trying to block out the pictures, but it was hopeless. Flashes of her brother, dad, and mom appeared before her. "No… please go away…"
…
A flash of Touya came, he was lying on the ground, the top of his head was cut, his skull was cracked, bits of his brain dripped on the ground, a large hammer lay beside his head. His clothing soaked in blood, dark red stained his whole arm, a large slit around his wrist, neck and a knife still stuck in his heart, blood still bubbling out.
…
Sakura opened her eyes hoping the vision would go away, but no such luck…
…
A flash of her otou-san came next… His eyes were rolled back, revealing colour of bloody white, drowned in fresh blood. His mouth opened slightly from shock, a large cut starting from his chest scarred all the way down to his stomach, the cut was so deep the inside was showing slightly. His legs and arms were separated from his body, each part was cut and tortured multiple times, many of the bones were bent…
…
"This is punishment…" Sakura held back her tears and bit her lips, until blood slid down.
…
A flash of her okaa-san came next. Her beautiful face looked so painful, it was black and blue; she had obviously tried to fight the killer. Strands of her hair had been pulled off and lay besides her in dead silence. There were many large black marks on her legs and arms, they had burnt her with fire… her head had been disconnected from her neck, fresh tissue and veins slid out the opening from her neck, a cut sliced all the way from one shoulder to her other, each of her fingers were separately chopped off…
…
Sakura wiped the tears away from her eyes, just in case they fall, something she did not like doing, it was showing weakness… and now that she's all-alone, that's something she can't tolerate.
(A/N: I don't know if you can imaging it (those flashes of Sakura's family), but I saw these flashes 3:00 in the morning and I tell yah, I was FREAKED OUT! I couldn't even close my eyes for two seconds to wash my face in fear of the dead coming back for me!! O.O)
…
Sakura cried out from both shock and pain, she screamed in tears and agony, sinking down toward the ground, she dropped her whole body on the bloody ground as her tears continued running down her face. "MOMMY!! DADDY!! TOUYA!!"
She was screaming and crying, still not wanting to believe what had happened, for 20 minutes, that's all she did and could do, until the police officers came, they carried her away, kicking, struggling and screaming.
They left her in front of Tomoyo's house telling her that she will now live with her best friend since they couldn't find any of her relatives. But after the police left, Sakura didn't knock on the door, instead, she ran away.
She grabbed a few blankets, a pillow and her most prized items and stayed in a dark ally where no one goes. She still went to school everyday, acted cheerful like her usual self, but knew her secret could not be kept any longer; it's so obvious, the death of the Kinomoto family would be known sooner or later.
The ironic thing was, it never got on the news… Sakura wasn't too worried about it at first, but later, she found out the only reason that happened was because the police had not the lightest clue as to what happened that night. Their suspects are the world's population. Not wanting to ruin their reputation, they kept it a secret and worked in secret. When Sakura found out about it, she went crazy and skipped school for 2 whole weeks, and in the two weeks, she could do nothing but scream at the sky and pound the walls and concrete ground continuously.
Years went by, until she was 11. Ger life had been unbearable, there was imply too much memories of what had happened. Every night, she would see those flashes of their bodies individually. She would scream with tears every night and feel the need to commit suicide… She couldn't take it anymore, so one day, she ran away, really, ran away, to a place she did not know… she didn't stop after 5 days when all she could do was to collapse… she wondered the streets begging for food and managed to survived. Two days later, the police tracked her down and told her everything left by her mother, father and brother was now hers, and they've left her a LOT of things and a huge fortune. She was told the houses' location, and given access to the money in the bank.
Sakura didn't waste the money, she only rent a small apartment and continued normal schooling. It was fine, until she went to high school, where everything went fucked up. Everyone made fun of her for her small housing, poor clothing, and how she's parentless.
She could no longer take it anymore, and one day, she made a vow: she will never ever shed another tear, her sorrow will be another's pain, the money was hers and no one else, she shall spent it however she wants. Her mother, father and brother is dead, suffering herself would not bring them back.
That was the day when she was changed, she decided that she has nothing to lose. People soon learned it was not a wise idea to mess with her, and some even worshipped her and looked up to her… she fitted in more that day, and liked who she became—someone who could control their own life, someone who would not be used by others, but use others, someone who is strong both physically and mentally, someone who wouldn't give a fuck about anything…
One and half miserable year passed just like that, until Sakura began to wonder about her closest friends back in Tomoeda… Tomoyo, Eriol, Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko. It took her only a week to make up her mind. She decided to skip school for exactly two weeks to be with them for one last time and bid a forever farewell… life has to go on.
…
Sakura breathed in slowly, relaxing as she felt the cool water on her back. Two weeks… this was the second week, and here I am, expelled from school and not even bothering to try to go back… just lying here in my swimming pool while time slips away… like sand from an hourglass…
…
A girl with long waist-length auburn hair, piercing emerald eyes, wearing black lipstick, black eye shadow and two nose rings on the right side of her nose stopped in front of a freshly painted wooden door. She wore a white tank top that said: 'I'm No Angel' along with a black leather jacket over it and it was unbuttoned in the front. She had on a black sparkly mini skirt, which had various silver chains hanging loose from the thick metallic belt that hung loosely around her hips. She had on a pair of highly stylish black platform boots, which had all kinds of gems of various shapes and colour hanging down on the side. She knocked on the door, and a teacher with the name of Ms. Ranmutela answered it. "I'm a new student, just transferred here." She said in a monotone voice. "And my name is Sakura, Kinomoto Sakura."
Ms. Ranmutela looked at her smugly. "Well come in." She said in a nasty voice, she clearly did not like Sakura. Sakura on the other hand, did not like her attitude towards her, but decided to show her a piece of 'Sakura' a little later. "Class, I would like you to welcome a new transfer student. Her name is Kinomoto Sakura!" Everybody clapped, and 4 squeals of joy were heard and immediately, four girls – Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu and Naoko – rushed up and hugged Sakura tightly.
She was truly surprised when that happened. She knew they were in this school, but what are the chances of her ending up in their class? The moment for her was pure bliss, she felt warmth she hadn't felt for ages, something she was afraid to give in to, and something she needed and wanted more than anything.
…
True, in her time in school, she had given the 'kids' a taste of fun, but everything must come to an end, sooner or later… This Friday would be her last day staying in Tomoeda (If she even decides to go back to school that is), after that, it was back to her old school… Her old 'friends'…
Why is she wasting her last few precious days by sitting in a pool? Maybe God knew, but she sure didn't.
School…
Chiharu slowly put away her gun, though her eyes did not leave the trembling teacher who looked like was about to break down any second. "Thank you for entertaining us today, we would love to see more of your special dance moves, and hear more about your sex life. Have a nice day Mrs. Ranmutela, and remember, we all love you, so don't die just yet!" Chiharu blinked innocently and walked away, swaying her hips. But before she left, she spun around and added in a cute voice, "By the way, if anyone asks about this, you're not to say a word about it if you value your life. That's about it, ta-ta!"
The rest of the students winked at Mrs. Ranmutela and they each left, laughing and giggling.
Chiharu and the others…
She looked at Ashley, Chloe, Bryan and Tiana and briefly smiled. "I guess I should say 'thanks', after all, you did a great job at lightening the students up… I wouldn't want the whole class to have their muscles aching for the rest of their lives because of being too tensed for 40 minutes…"
The four of them nodded and smiled back. "Like we said, only till Kinomoto comes back."
Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko, Eriol and Syaoran looked at the five confusingly. "What's going on? Since when did you guy become best friends?"
"They're only helping us to get Sakura back—since she did save them from suspension and all—and after that, we'll pretend nothing ever happened… back to before." Chiharu walked towards Tomoyo. "Anyways…" She slipped the card in Tomoyo's handbag and grabbed another one. Reading it over, her smiled widened and her face suddenly lit. "Perfect…" She looked at Ashley and Rika. "You two, come with me, since all three of us have been cheerleaders at least once in our lives, we'll be able to move around pretty fast won't we? Let's go."
--
"Everybody heard what I said?" Snoring and silence was the response. "Good, now, does anyone know who the artist for this painting is? Naoko?"
"Yah… yawn what…? yawn oh yah, that…" She yawned once again and opened her eyes sleepily. "That? Oh, I don't know who the artist is, but it looks like a strange coloured toilet-bowl. So the artist must be a toilet cleaner guy or something…"
Ms. Lyte wasn't pleased. "So you think that's funny?"
Naoko looked thoughtful for a minute. "Yes, quite hilarious if you ask me."
Her jaw tightened. "Office, Naoko. I will not have you disrupting my class… I have no idea how you escaped suspension… but your luck will run out… sooner or later…"
Naoko tilted her head to one side. "No, I wasn't lucky… Suspension wouldn't be right at that time… Especially since I had a special friend…"
The tension around the room was quite thick. Everyone remained quiet. CHIHARU!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!
"PARTY TIME!"
The sudden outburst of noise caused everyone to divert their attention. Standing by the door, was Chiharu, Ashley and Rika with a cheesy grin on their faces.
"Come again?"
"We said, PARTY TIME!!"They each walked over to Ms. Lyte's desk, and like Naoko did before, they swept everything onto the floor ignoring the complaints.
Ashley pulled a few of the students' desk and put them together beside the teacher's desk to form a large table. The three of them reached into their grocery bags and pulled out 6 bags of chips with a variety of flavours, 8 different kinds of pop (Coke, Sprite, 7 Up, Pepsi, Grape C Plus, Cream Soda, Root Beer and Orange Crush), sugar-coated popcorn, ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise, and other kinds of junk food.
Chiharu gave a huge smile and her happily lit face was glowing with joy. "Thought we'd give you all a little surprise everyone, for all the hard work you had to do today, namely listening to the boring talks of Ms. Lyte. Thought a party might cheer you up! So what do you say? Everyone who wants it, yell out as loud as you can, PARTY TIME!"
The students were stunned for a second, but their shock was soon replaced by delight. "PARTY TIME! YAY!!" They screamed loudly and pushed their way towards the food-filled desks trampling down Ms. Lyte, but no one cared, as each stuffed food in their mouths and threw their work on the ground, covering them with dirty footprints.
Tomoyo pulled out a CD from her handbag and put it into the stereo, and cranked the volume to maximum. But of course, not before shutting the door and windows.
Someone suddenly decided to turn off the lights and give the class a dark and party-ish feeling.
People screamed and each drowned out the others' voice. No one knows who started it, but suddenly, there were people in the classroom pouring cups of water down each other's head, and that's when an evil glint flashed through Chiharu's eyes as she looked around the classroom for Ms. Lyte…
Chiharu grabbed the largest cup she could find and quickly ran towards the food-and-refreshments desk. Pouring EVERYTHING that can be found on the table (including, ketchup, mustards, all kinds of chips, popcorn and etc.) into that large cup, she held it into the air and smiled proudly. She sniffed at it and almost puked. Now… Where's Ms. Lyte?
Ms. Lyte leaned against the cold wall and sighed in frustration. Here she is, trying to teach, and actually thought it to be easier since the main trouble-causer had been expelled, but what she hadn't expected was for three students to turn this whole class into a party room!! She wrinkled her nose. Something smelled nasty, and the smell was only getting stronger… What the hell…?
Chiharu smiled widely when she saw her 'favourite teacher' leaning against the wall looking all depressed. She held the cup tightly in her hand, making sure not to bump into anyone, and she made her way towards the teacher.
Mr. Lyte pinched her nose. What is that smell?? Didn't anyone else notice it?? A pair of running shoes stopped in front of her, and the smell turned unbearable. All of a sudden, a cold, sticky, lumpy cup of drink pouring right onto her head and down her back. She froze. What was that? Releasing her nose, she sniffed herself.
And she screamed.
The lights were immediately turned on in fear of someone here being stabbed. Ms. Lyte raised her head to meet the happy and pleased smile of Mihara Chiharu. "Oopsies, I'm so sorry, that was an accident." Chiharu grinned. "Actually, no, it's not. I did that on purpose. And what are you gonna do about it?" The shock and anger was unspeakable. Ms. Lyte couldn't utter a word and didn't know what to say to a girl with guts like that. "C'mon! Don't hold it, I know you want to yell at me, just like the rest of you teachers." She pouted. "You're all mean…" She sighed pretentiously. "I'm used to that by now. C'mon, yell at me, swear me, diss me, do whatever you want." She lost her frown. "I just won't care."
Ms. Lyte glared at her with fire in her eyes for about a full minute before screaming and running out of the door pulling her hair out and seemed to be tripping and slapping herself. "YOU'RE ALL CURSED!!" Her voice echoed through the hallway.
Chiharu waved behind her. "Don't bother coming back!"
The silent classroom erupted into laughter as students stared at the door where a skunk had just ran out. "That was fun, if I do say so myself." Chiharu commented.
"Gosh Chi! You're horrible…" Tomoyo shook her head but still smiled with her camera in her hands. "Too Sakura-ish…"
"You just wait until I tell Sakura you said that…"
(A/N: My best friend and I actually did that at her brother's birthday party… lol, we dumped four cups of that kind of disgusting stuff onto the two boys whom were our age… (There were a total of 5 kids our age because we invited them to the party to have fun and to help run the party) I'm making a one-shot on that birthday party… too much happened to explain, you'll just have to read and find out ;) )
After…
"You know, I'm surprised that Ms. Lyte didn't go to the principal… I mean I could've easily been expelled or at least suspended for what I had done…"
"Probably too embarrassed… I mean who would want a stink bomb in their room?"
Chiharu giggled and winked at them. "Thanks for all your help, you've been great." She pulled out the last card from Tomoyo's pocket. "This card has better be good… if not, you just watch me burn down the school…" She read the card. "And speaking of the devil…" An evil smile lit her face, which is definitely not a good sigh… for the teachers, that is.
For some reason or another, Chiharu snuck out of the school once again saying that she had to get something from the store, again, except that this time, she came back before class started, soaking wet.
"What happened to you?" Tomoyo gasped.
"It's pouring outside! No idea what happened, the weather was sunny and cheerful when Ashley, Rika and I left 40 minutes ago… ah well… got what I needed at least…" She looked at the rest of them. "I need you guy to do me a favour. What I'm about to do will definitely cause many people to panic—oh hell, what am I saying—it'll cause everyone to panic, but it'll be much better if you can make an even bigger deal out of it than it already is…"
They nodded though Chiharu did not give full details. Syaoran and Eriol sighed and shook their heads. When will they ever stop?
The nine girls entered the classroom followed by 3 guys, as they sat down on a chair but made sure they were close to each other.
Mr. McNeil stood up and walked to the front of the class. "Minna-san, because of the instrument breaking incident with Rika the other day—" He glared at her. "We'll be doing paper work for this period." He went around and handed each student a booklet with at least 40 pages. "Finish what you can in class, the rest will be homework." He gave a content smile and walked back to his desk where he leaned against his chair, drinking coffee, and reading a novel.
Chiharu smirked silently at his stupidity. Paper would only help… she pulled a tiny box from her pocket, she pushed the box out and pulled out a wooden stick, or what you would call, a match. She swiped it on the side of the box where the flames flickered to life, as she cackled evilly inside before 'accidentally' pushing her booklet on the ground and dropping the match right on top of it.
The fire began to spread within an instant.
"FIRE!!" Chiharu screamed in fake terror. "FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!"
She jumped out of her seat and burst into tears while clutching a random person in the class.
To make a bigger scene than it already is…
Tomoyo screamed in fright as she pushed her wooden chair into the pile of fire, pretending it accidentally fell into the flames when she jumped. "NO!! EVERYBODY!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!! EVEN IF WE DON'T BURN TO DEATH, INHALING CARBON MONOXIDE CAN LEAD US TO OUR GRAVE!!"
"SHE'S RIGHT!! LIFE IS OVER!! I LOVE YOU ALL!! HOPE YOU KNOW!!" Rika added, she too, 'accidentally' pushed her chair into the fire. "HOLY CRAP!! I'M SO SORRY I SHOULDN'T'VE DONE THAT!!"
People all scrambled up from their seats, booklets fell on the ground where it became ashes. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"WE'RE GONNA DIE!!"
"I HAVEN'T GOT MY CHANCE TO DATE SYAORAN YET!!"
Mr. McNeil jumped to the front of the class, "EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!"
"NO! EVERYONE PANIC! THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH, AND IT'S RIGHT TO PANIC, CALMING DOWN WILL ONLY LEAD TO EARLIER DEATH!" Ashley shrieked at the top of her lungs.
The door opened as a confused girl walked in raising her eyebrow. "Whoa… what happened?"
Everyone was too panicky and too busy screaming to notice her. Eriol and Syaoran ran to the weeping Chiharu and grabbed her roughly. "Don't you think it's gone too far this time?" They hissed menacingly.
"It's all revenge for Sakura… We'll live, I assure you…"
Syaoran shook his head irritably as he shook her with awry. "MIHARA! THIS, HAS, GONE, TOO, FAR!! You can get arrested for this!"
Chiharu stared back at him. "No one's gonna know…" She grabbed the box of matches and threw it into the flames. "There, no evidence. Unless you're gonna be a tattletale."
"Where did that fire come from? Hey, guys, can you all stop panicking now? Hello!! I was hoping for at least a warm welcome…" She wandered around the classroom and couldn't help but grin at each of their faces of fright.
"WE NEED WATER!! SOMEONE GIVE ME WATER!! WE HAVE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT!!"
Kids tried squishing out the window, but because of their panicky mood, they pushed each other to get out first, but instead, nobody could get out because they were all escaping at once, and the size of the window is limited.
The fire licked the hot air as sparks flew in every direction. Mr. McNeil was trying so hard to calm the students down, while others were trying to make this more of a deal than it already was.
"Is someone gonna notice me or not?" She spotted Syaoran and Eriol scolding Chiharu and suddenly remembered something, she smiled and made her way towards them.
Comparing the pouring rain outside to the currently on-fire room, it almost seemed unreal—I mean how can there be fire when the rain was beating down like hail within such close proximities?
The girl bent down and tilted her head to one side and stared at the three figures who had still not yet noticed her. Perhaps it was because of the screaming inside the classroom… it sure was driving her crazy… The brats were louder than the fire alarms…
"Are you guys ever gonna say 'hi' to me?" She asked.
They looked at her and gasped in shock. "You-how-but-you-then-the teacher-said-but-then-where-why… Why are you here?"
She pouted. "You don't want me here?"
"We do… it' just, just that, wow…" they stuttered.
"I guess I changed my mind after all…" She replied with a smile.
Syaoran was the first one to hug her, followed by Chiharu, then Eriol. "Welcome back, welcome back… we really missed you, Sakura."
Sakura pulled back and looked at them sternly. "Hugs can wait till later, for now, let's calm the students down, I don't want anyone dying, after all…"
"But how—"
"Leave it to the master." Sakura grabbed her gun from Chiharu and walked to the middle of the classroom.
She pointed it at the ceiling and shot it 3 times. The noise echoed through the classroom, and everybody froze. Unexpectedly, water shot through the hole like a cannon, splattering Sakura, soaking her. "Damn, forgot it was raining outside." She growled lowering her gun.
Sakura shot a few holes through the ceiling above the fire, and rain zoomed down and battled with the flame, but in the end, nature won.
When everybody finally calmed, they at last took notice of Sakura. Ashley was the first to (other than Chiharu, Syaoran and Eriol) gasp. "KINOMOTO-SAMA!"
