The Bachelorette

by Kandie Gurlz

Chapter 1- New Term, New Surprises

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Last call, plane no. 67908 taking flight, passengers boarding to Tokyo, Tomoeda, please proceed to the plane now, thank you." The loudspeaker announced.

With a sigh, Syaoran pick up his suitcase and make his way through the entrance.

* * *

*Flashback*

"Mum, why do I have to do this? This is all too sudden! I've been living here from the day since I'm born and then the next minute, you want me to live in Japan." Syaoran argued, his temper is not something you want to mess with.

"Xiao Lang!" Yelan voiced, a cold and thin yet understanding sound. "I understand how you are feeling now BUT since you are next in throne for the Li Clan, the Elders would want you to be more experienced. They requested sending you to Japan will allow you to be more independent."

"Mum, look. Since when did I go down on my knees and beg for help? I've never rely on anyone since the day I know how to walk!" His menacing eyes glaring into his mother's.

"Xiao Lang, I have the final say over everything, and what I say, you follow!" Yelan spoke, if looks could kill, Syaoran would be dead by then.

"But..." Before he even finishing his sentence, Yelan rubbed in, "NO BUTS!"

Knowing that his mum is dead serious now, Syaoran answered, "Fine!" and slammed the door behind him.

*END*

* * *

Shaking his thoughts away, Syaoran went on to finding his seat.

"This will be a loooong ride."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slipping on her roller blades, an auburn haired girl swiftly makes her way to her destination. Her emerald eyes sparkle with excitement as if something big is going to happen. As she saw the person she's meeting with, she waved her hands frantically, almost losing her balance.

"Tomoyo-chaaaan!"

"Ah! Sakura-chan, daijoubu?" Tomoyo asked, worried. [A/N: Obviously!]

"Ee, heki-desu. Crap, and to think that I've been rollerblading the rest of my life."

Tomoyo sniffled a giggle and held out her hand for Sakura. "Stop complaining, we can't have Chiharu and the others waiting."

* * *

*Ice Rink*

As Sakura and Tomoyo entered the main entrance, a loud applause was heard.

"*Clap* Let us welcome the Guest Of Honor!" Yamazaki spoke, his voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"I prefer that they be referred as the Guests Of Disgrace, it'll be more appropriate ne, Naoka-chan?" Chiharu added, the corners of her lips turned up, she was perpetually grinning!

"Hey, no fair! I was only a bit late!" Sakura snapped before Naoko had the chance to answer.

As the bickering continues, Tomoyo's amethyst eyes search through the group for a certain someone. Finally, after confirming that he's not here, she spoke up, "Speaking of which, where has Eriol-kun gone to?"

"Oh, he did come here before, but only to inform us that he can't join us today because he needs to pick someone from the airport." Naoko answered, it was so obvious those two are dating.

Out of curiosity, Sakura blurted, "Da re?"

"My, my Sakura-chan, haven't heard of the phrase 'curiosity kills the cat'?"

Clenching her fist, Sakura shot, "Shut up already, Yamazaki-kun!"

"I remember Eriol-kun mentioning someone named 'Syaoran' before he goes off." Chiharu answered, not wanting to make any more trouble.

"Gee, thanks Chiharu-chan!"

Flashing her a smile, Chiharu reply "No problem!"

"Enough with those crap, on with the skating!" Yamazaki pester.

Everyone actually grinned before answering. "Hai!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Airport*

Syaoran descended down the stairs and momentarily scolded himself, "Heck, I don't even know who's going to pick me up from the airport, let alone on where will I be staying." He scanned his eyes through the crowd and a sign caught his eyes [My descendant] straightaway, he darted his vision to the owner of the sign. If it wasn't for his huge ego, he will strangle his smart-ass ascendant right now. Blue hair, denim blue eyes and a smug face. The infamous Hiiragizawa was out there to torture him again.

* * *

Eriol's P.O.V

Knowing that the sign got his attention, I walk towards him and give him a smirk. I ignore all the weird stares I'm getting from everyone around me, well they won't even believe if told them "Hey, hello there, no need for the expressions, you know the hazel haired boy there? He's my descendant."

When I reached him, I dumped the sign into a rubbish bin beside me. I break the ice by starting on a meaningless conversation, very stupid actually.

"Good day, my descendant. How are you doing?" Without waiting for his reply, I talked on, "I'm sure you haven't be informed, so I'm going to fill you in."

Frowning, Syaoran grumbled, "Get straight to the point, Hiiragiizawa. You are wasting my patience."

"Still the same cold beast as before eh?" Grinning, I said, "You. Are becoming roomies with me. That is, under one roof of course."

* * *

Syaoran's P.O.V

I could swear that I could actually die that instant if it I wasn't in the public. I opened my mouth to talk back, but heck! Not a sound came out! I guess I was too overcome with surprise to actually speak.

Eriol, on the other hand, is still smiling his so annoying smile. One day, I swear, I'm going to wipe that smile off, one way or another. He dragged me out of the place and ushered a limo to fetch us to HIS house. I'm 100% sure he was determined to make my stay like a living hell.

* * *

After a day of fun, everyone headed back to his or her home. Sakura opened her door, place her shoe in the cabin and shouted "Tadaima."

Fujitaka, Sakura's dad welcomed her home. "Okaeri-nasai, Sakura-chan"

Rushing up to her room, Sakura only found out that her homework over the summer vacation was half done. "Hoeeeeeee!"

* * *

"BRINNNNNG! BRINNNNG!"

Reaching her hand out, Sakura swipe it over her tabletop only to find her hand in contact with the doll. Prying open her eyes, Sakura found her clock suited at the dressing table. "Hoe?" Just then, she remembered. Today was the start of a new term; she wanted to be in for a change even if it's only once.

Gulping down her food prepared by Touya, she grabbed her bag and headed for the door. "Itakimasu!"

* * *

[School]

Sakura proceed to her class only to be greeted by Tomoyo and the gang. [A/N: When I say the gang, I'm referring to 'Chiharu, Naoko, Rika , Yamazaki and Eriol]

"Ohayo, Sakura-chan!" They chirped, all seem to be in a good mood today.

"Ohayo, minna-san!"

Suddenly, there's a shuffle of silence. Not long, Yamazaki announced, "Homeroom teacher's here."

Tereda sensei walked in to the class, he turned around, faced the board and began to write something on it. "Today's the first day of a new term, did all of you bring your summer holiday assignments?"

"Hai!" Everyone replied in unison.

"As I said, today's the start of a new term so, a new transfer student will be attending your class. I would like everyone to make him feel welcome." "Please come in"

At the moment, a boy with ruffled hair and amber eyes came in. His hair was rich hazelnut colour and he was what every girl would die having for. His stony expression was what made him dreamy.

Tereda sensei scanned the classroom and found a place for him. "His name is Li. Syaoran. He's a transfer student from Hong Kong. I trust that all of you will make him feel comfortable. Li, you will be seated behind of Kinomoto. Kinomoto, please raise your hand."

As Syaoran slump down to his seat, Sakura turned around and introduce herself, "Hi! I'm Sakura Kinomoto, nice to meet you!" She finished her sentence and flash him a heart-warming smile.

Syaoran give a cold glare and replied "Name's Li Syaoran."

BUT as you see, most of his glares were directed to Eriol. He give a smirk and turn his attention to the teacher.

"Hoeeeeee!" came Sakura's smart reply.
