5:00 pm
A tall, thin woman with blond hair and blue eyes stood in front of the mirror on the wall in the teachers' washroom. She wore a short black skirt, a black jacket and a white silk blouse.
Admiring herself one last time in the mirror she walked out of the washroom and headed down the hall to Syaoran Li's classroom. The woman was in her late twenties and walked with a sort of lioness-like grace.
Without bothering to knock on the door, she strolled into the classroom, her blue eyes darting around the room looking for a certain amber-eyed male. To her dismay, she found none and strolled back out of the room.
'Damn!' She thought. 'I was sure that he would have been in there that time. Where could he be this time? Maybe with that Kinomoto-brat. . . ' Oh yes. She had seen the looks Syaoran Li gave the girl when he thought no one was looking. Once she had found out who the girl was, she went out of her way to make Sakura Kinomoto's life a living hell.
With that last thought, the woman fumed down the hallway, around the corridor, and out of sight.
*#*#*#*
Later that day
Sakura sighed as she continued sitting in her velvet covered chair. She looked at the plate of half-eaten food in front of her before quickly glancing around the dimly lit restaurant. It was a fancy restaurant with velvet curtains and candles on every table that gave it a romantic look.
Looking at the empty seat across from her she sighed once again before getting up from her seat and picking up her handbag. She took out a couple bills from her purse and placed it on top of the bill.
Walking out of the restaurant Sakura was met with a cold gust of wind. 'It was okay for the last three times but this is the last time.' She thought. Wrapping her hands around herself Sakura faced the cold wind. She had no choice but to walk back home seeing as her ride did not arrive. Putting one foot in front of the other, Sakura started her long journey homewards.
*#*#*#*
Next day at school
Sakura's eyelids started to droop in class and her head bobbed up and down with her effort of trying to stay awake. She had gotten home quite late and just barely finished her homework before getting into bed. But she had only gotten 4 hours of sleep; the least amount of sleep she'd had since she was a baby.
Tomoyo frowned as she watched Sakura's head continuously bob up and down. Trying to think of a reason for Sakura's drowsiness, she didn't feel Eriol poking her.
Finally giving up on trying to get Tomoyo's attention, Eriol leaned back in his seat and focused on the teacher, but kept one eye on Sakura. He also had noticed Sakura's bobbing head and wanted to know the reason for her stupor.
It finally dawned on Tomoyo why Sakura was so sleepy this morning. Shooting her a sympathetic look, Tomoyo concentrated on the teacher. She would talk to Sakura after class.
*#*#*#*
Sakura was lucky that her teacher was oblivious of her in-class nap today if not she would be in detention for sure.
Feeling a lot more refreshed, Sakura placed her books in her locker and took out another pair of books. Closing her locker, Sakura was surprised to see a bouquet of yellow roses. Behind the roses was none other than a smiling Sora. His brown spiky hair was even messier today and his blue eyes shone with happiness. Today he was wearing a red shirt that complimented his abs and a white vest over it with navy blue pants.
Replacing her surprised look with that of a small, sad smile, Sakura gently pushed the roses away from her.
"I can't accept these Sora. But thank you anyway." Sakura mumbled.
Barely hearing Sakura, Sora said, "Why not? You are my girlfriend after all, right?"
Sakura sighed. This was going to be much harder than she thought. "Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You see-"
"Talk to me about what? Oh, yeah! I'm really, really sorry about last night. I had this project that I had to finish by today and I hadn't even started on it yet so-" Sora stopped as Sakura made a stop sign with her hand.
"I don't want to hear any excuses. That was the fourth time you stood me up and. . . ." Sakura stopped at the sound of her voice breaking up. "I want it to be the last." She whispered.
Seeing Sakura's distressed state, Sora finally realized what she was trying to say.
Smiling softly he said, "Don't worry Sakura. I understand."
Laughing softly, he looked at the wall behind her. "I don't know why I thought that I was going to keep you with me repeating those same actions."
Focusing back on her again he said, "I'm sorry for what I did and wish I could take it back. I really do. But now I know what it would have been like for you and I now know that this relationship couldn't continue any longer."
Placing a hand on Sakura's now-wet cheek, he lifted her face so that she could look directly at him. "I just want to let you know that I love you Sakura. I always have and I always will. And though our relationship can't continue any longer always remember that you are beautiful. Your laughter will melt ice and your smile will warm people's hearts." His mouth was nearing hers.
"Your eyes can pierce one's soul and your heart is as pure as gold. . ." He whispered.
Just as his mouth was about to touch hers they both heard someone clear their throat.
Surprised, they looked at who had interrupted their special moment and saw that it was none other than Syaoran Li.
Blushing profoundly they quickly separated and Sakura brushed her tears away.
Trying very hard not to appear heart-broken, Syaoran said, "If you two are done making out in the hallway then I suppose that you should get to class." He jerked his head in the direction of the clock.
Sora, looking at the time, ran off down the hallway, but not before throwing "Always be happy Sakura!" over his shoulder. Then, after disappearing out of sight, Sakura turned to Syaoran, blushing even harder.
"Now, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Kinomoto, I believe that you have your next class with me." Syaoran said. He suddenly turned very happy. After quickly deducing what had happened between the two lovebirds, he felt exhilarated.
Bowing her head, and looking at her feet, Sakura followed Syaoran to his classroom. As she went, one lone tear dropped from her cheek.
*#*#*#*
Syaoran hummed under his breath. He was so happy; he could fly over the moon! It didn't matter that no one listened to him in class or handed in their home work on time. Sakura had finally broken up with that no good loser, and it was about time too!
Packing up his papers and putting them in his briefcase, he walked over to the door, only to have it blocked by a woman with blond hair and blue eyes. Almost immediately, his happy mood was replaced with a dark, wary one.
"Hello Syaoran." The woman said as she leaned against the door frame.
"Hello Wang-chan." Syaoran said curtly. Trying to get by her he said, "If you don't mind, I would like to get out of this classroom."
The woman laughed and placed a hand on his chest while placing her face close to his. "You know you can call me Mina, Syaoran." She said seductively.
"Mina," Syaoran said almost exasperatedly, "I don't have time for your games alright? I dated you once and that was clearly a mistake. Now, leave me alone or you will surly regret coming near me again."
Mina's smile turned into a scowl. "It's that girl isn't it? That Kinomoto girl. You know she's out of your league. She's a student and you're her teacher. You think that she'll fall for you? It's against the law!"
Syaoran's face turned cold; void of any emotion except hate. "What I do with my life is none of your business Wang-chan. Now why don't you crawl back to the brothel where you belong?" Shoving her aside, Syaoran went pass her and continued on his way.
Mina stood in the doorway minutes after Syaoran had left. "Mark my words Kinomoto. I will have Syaoran. Even if I have to get rid of you to have him." With that, Mina turned and stomped down the hallway.
*#*#*#*
Okay. The chapter is finally done. Hope you guys like it so far. Complaints? Tell me and I'll try to fix up the story as best I can. Isn't Syaoran mean in this one? Ha ha. Anyways, until next time. Ja ne.
Editor: Just a note from food-luva's editor: Isn't she a sap, rather? All this over-romanticizing from Sora, man. . . well, if that's what you like to read. However, if you only like romance coming in just a little (snigger) then READ MY STORIES!!!!
Right, now that I have had my little advertisement for the day, hope you liked the chapter. Yeah, that would be my editor. Oh the nerve of her sneaking a note in my story. Bah! Lol. Her name is Skeleton L. Crow by the way. She's a big fan of Star trek, so if you love Star trek, read her stories.
Okay. That's all for now. Sayonara!
