Note: Thank you for reviewing! That's why I updated! jumps in the air Anyways your not here to listen to me, so just read!
Syaoran stared at Sakura with disbelief. Sakura bit her lip to keep from screaming out loud. 'Does he know that I have magic? Does he know? Does he know!?!?' Sakura wondered in her mind. Even in the dim light you could see her face was red and alarmed and surprised.
"Card Mistress." Syaoran answered. A flood of emotions was going through Syaoran. All this time he had been brought up to protect the card mistress, to help her from danger. Syaoran never knew he was the danger in this situation. Syaoran didn't know if he should be angry with himself, disappointed or frustrated. So far he felt all three.
A silence fell upon the two for quite awhile. Then Syaoran spoke. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" he asked concerned. Sakura shook her mind for an answer. Sakura then smirked, as if having thought up a brilliant excuse. "You have magic?" she asked even though she knew he did. Now it was Syaoran who went red.
"How did you know?"
A soft breeze blew and the fire almost went out. It gradually started burning again.
"That day, you were following me. I knew you were near. Why were you following me?" Sakura asked suspiciously.
"I had no idea it was you. I just sensed something strong and then it went away." Syaoran said honestly. He remembered that day when he was walking home and thought that the Card Mistress was near. How right he was. Then Syaoran got suspicious.
"Answer my question Sakura. Why didn't you ever tell me you had the clow cards?"
Sakura folded her arms. "Like I was going to tell someone like you? Are you crazy? In my position I was starting to think you were an enemy or another evil spirit. You teased me everyday, and for no reason!" she paused. "Li tell me if you're so smart. Why didn't people like me?" Syaoran looked at Sakura's expression of desperation and anxiousness to know.
Syaoran once again felt that he had let her down. He had no real answer. People thought she was weird? Maybe but she really was no different then any other girl he knew. "I don't know." he answered bluntly. Sakura rolled her eyes. "This is so stupid! I was hated for nothing? I might as well be dead for all anyone cares!" Syaoran looked worried.
"That's not true. Everyone here, at this school likes you. You're everything they want you to be." he answered quickly. He smiled pleased that he might have halted her anger. Sakura smiled too but it wasn't real. She scowled. "What about what I want to be? I want to be myself! I don't want to have to live up to everyone else! This is so ridiculous! Why does everything bad always have to happen to me?"
Tears streamed down her face. "And then when you came here, I was so angry! You ruined my life before Syaoran! He were never nice, and now you tell me you have no reason have to been so mean!" Sakura looked down angrily. "I wish I never had this life. Syaoran Li, I wish you were never here!" Sakura said bitterly. Li was shocked and hurt. He felt like such jerk. No one have ever said something that mean to him, and if they did, it wasn't that powerful as Sakura's words. Her voice seemed to have pinned him in place.
"I am sorry Sakura. I wish I could have protected you, but I guess I was the one hurting you. I'll leave now before I upset you more." Syaoran got up and left Sakura by herself to watch the fire. Sakura sat still. She did not do anything. Suddenly she groaned and slumped onto her pillow. That night she cried herself to sleep, feeling even worse and evening.
Next Morning
Sakura eyes were red from crying herself to sleep. She was tired and sick of her life. She really did want herself dead, but their were too many people attached in her life. Sakura sighed. As she sat on a log to eat her breakfast, she thought and thought of an apology worth saying for sounding so selfish the night before. She hadn't meant all the things she said to Syaoran, they just sort of slipped out. Sakura had blamed Syaoran for her disastrous life and he had believed her.
As Syaoran sat down to eat his breakfast Sakura turned red again. She couldn't take all this pressure. She felt like crying again like she did last night. But her eyes burned from the loss of tears. Even if she wasn't crying, you could tell Sakura disappointed.
Sakura's POV
Why do I feel so weird? I really should apologize to Li for what I said. But that doesn't answer my question about feeling weird around him. I touched my forehead. Oh great I'm getting sick. I am also talking to myself! I am such an idiot. I hate not talking to him. Right now I could be arguing with him and I would be happy. As I sob I can't stop but think of anything else but him.
End of Sakura's POV
Sakura mentally slapped herself. But other then that she didn't move once at all. She felt glued at the spot. But she kept her gaze on Syaoran, as if urging him to come to her so she could apologize. Sadly though, Syaoran never even once looked at Sakura. His expression was unreadable, and he was quiet which made Sakura feel like crying even more.
Meiling noticed this odd behavior between her friends. To her it looked like Sakura was actually started to like her future fiancé. Meiling didn't have time to think up anything else before the teacher got up and spoke.
"Good morning class! Today we are going to do what we planned yesterday, I hike with our groups. This time, don't get lost." she added while looking at Sakura. As the groups got together and started their hike, it seemed very quiet to Sakura. No one in her group spoke at all. Sakura felt even angrier with herself. What had she done?
Sakura looked down. Fortunately Reo tried starting a conversation.
"So, how are you guys? Seems like I haven't really heard from you that lately. Sakura, Li?"
Syaoran and Sakura didn't reply. Syaoran didn't want to make Sakura angry, because he thought Sakura was sick of his voice. Sakura didn't speak because it would come out as a croak and then they would question her.
"Um ok fine. Well let's stop we have been walking in circles for too long." Reo suggested and he sat on the ground. Sakura followed his example while Syaoran remained standing. Syaoran stared at them both.
Syaoran POV
Sakura must really hate me. It doesn't matter anyways, she looks pretty happy already just sitting beside Reo. They look like a couple. They probably are a couple. Sakura probably isn't talking to me because she doesn't want to hurt Reo or something. Maybe… but why is she staring at me? She's making me feeling very uneasy.
End of Syaoran's POV
Reo was not very happy either. He too would prefer if they were both fighting like they usually are, because then he knew they were acting normal. Today they were really calm and were ignoring one another. "What happened?" Reo whispered softly. Sakura was lost in thought and Syaoran was looking away.
Oh gosh Sakura feels rotten about herself again! I am such a bad person making her feel stupid like always. Well just review anyways! Darn ff.net won't let me do my little star sqiggle thing to seperate the chapter from the authour's notes anymore! Meh I'm not the one reading some you're going to have to figure it out.
