Reminder:
Syaoran had already went to 3 stores and bought ice cream for himself that night. He was really bored and nervous, wondering if Sakura is all right. Even after 2 hours passed….he hadn't received a call.
He was disappointed, although feeling bad for feeling disappointed. It was like he wanted Sakura to call. Like having her to call and have him pick her up.
But he doesn't know if that's going to happen. He started to feel sad and angry, cause she might have really liked this Wa Xie.
But that wasn't the only thing that disappointed him, not just because she wasn't hurt or anything. It was because when she says something…she always does it.
By the time he was back at his place and lying in his bed. It was about midnight. His cell phone lied next to him as he fell in despair. She said she'd call.
His cell phone hasn't rang once…
^^Chapter 7^^
::Smiling Sadly::
Syaoran woke up on his side. He felt well…different. He lied there on his bed thinking. For almost 3 hours. He didn't feel like getting up or anything. He just lied there numbly thinking about Sakura. Who else would he be thinking about? Maybe he was just realizing something. Maybe…no that can't be it.
After a long while, Syaoran finally decided to get up. He glanced over to the clock, which read 12:45. He didn't realize he was in bed that long. The last time he checked it was nine. He refreshed himself and then went out to go eat lunch. He wasn't in the mood to cook.
Along his way, he was thinking a whole lot. More than he would usually. He hasn't said a word all day and didn't plan to. While he was driving, he passed Daiiko's. He shook his head aimlessly and kept driving forward. Where he was heading…had no clue. He was just driving. Driving, isn't that one thing that can make a guy happy? Or am I wrong? Cause Syaoran had no emotion on his face. Something was bothering him and we all have a hint on what it is.
From what seemed like hours, only 10 minutes passed and the car came to a stop. Syaoran was in front of a Chinese Restaurant and ready to eat. Just to forget about everything for awhile and eat. That's all he wanted to do…Eat.
Once he stepped inside of the restaurant, he took off his sunglasses and looked around the place. It seemed really comfy. But his eye landed on an auburn haired girl. She was sitting with a guy, and they seem to be enjoying themselves. Syaoran's heart saddened and he had to leave the spot quickly. (A/N: That was not Sakura…I repeat, that was not Sakura.)
Syaoran rushed out of the place for the very same reason he came to that place. He got into his car and drove back. Driving's good. Right? Syaoran sighed and remained silent. His car trip was silent. Instead of finding another place to eat…he made his way home. He lost his appetite.
::*::
Once he stepped in the door Eriol was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. Syaoran said nothing and walked passed him to his room. Eriol looked up to watch Syaoran just pass by. Not even giving Eriol a look.
"Well Hello to you too…sheesh. What's biting his butt?" Eriol looked back into the newspaper, then suddenly had a disgusted look on his face.
"Nevermind…I wouldn't want to know what was biting his butt…literally!" he laughed to himself.
"Man Eriol you're losing it!" He said to himself and began reading the newspaper again. Just when he looked back into his paper, Syaoran came walking into the living room, passed him and into the kitchen. I guess he found his appetite again.
Eriol was still laughing, but for a different reason. He was reading the comics. Everyone loves comics. When Eriol put the paper down, he saw Syaoran in the kitchen fixing himself something to eat.
"So Mr. Anti-Social is back?" Eriol asked grinning while walking to the kitchen. Syaoran ignored his comment and continued making his specialty...Ramen Noodles. With the little flavor packet.
"Aww come on Syaoran! Loosen up. You know you're going to have to say something one time or another. What happened?" Eriol took a seat ready to listen to what Syaoran has to say.
"…"
Complete silence was all Syaoran had to say. Eriol sighed and watched him. Eriol stayed silent until Syaoran sat down at the table with him and began to eat his soup.
"Dang Syaoran…just tell me what happened. You can't keep this silence up forever."
After a few minutes Syaoran looked up with a cold stern face. But then he looked back down at his soup with sad eyes.
"Sakura didn't call."
Eriol blinked dumbly and almost laughed. But he saw it was hurting his best friend. Syaoran saw that he was ready to laugh, so he picked up his soup bowl and was about to leave but…
"Hey! Hey! Sit down! I'm not done with you!" Syaoran sighed and sat back down. He started eating his soup again awaiting what Eriol has to say.
"Well come on Syaoran. It's not a big deal. So she forgot to call. So what?" Syaoran glanced over to Eriol and gave him a lazy look.
"How would you feel if Tomoyo didn't call you when she said she would?"
"Well. I'd panic, but that's different because she's my girlfriend and- OH!" Syaoran dumped the spoon back into the soup and left it there.
"Oh is exactly right."
"Man Syaoran. Don't worry man. So she forgot…she'll call later on and apologize."
"Yeah sure…whatever."
Eriol patted Syaoran on the shoulder before standing up.
"Don't worry, it'll turn out fine!" he said before making his way out of the kitchen.
"I'll see ya later…I gotta go pick up Tomoyo."
"Yeah." Syaoran watched him walk out of the place to have him be left lonely.
::*::
DING DONG
Syaoran lazily got up to get the door. He didn't care who it was and how he looked like. When he opened the door a pair of arms swung around him at full force causing him to fall down.
After gaining consciousness, he looked to see who was strangling him. All he saw was auburn hair. And then did he want to faint.
Sakura got up and pulled Syaoran up too. She gave him another big hug.
"I missed you!" Syaoran scratched his head before saying anything back.
"I missed ya too." Sakura backed out of his arms and then closed the door. She took off her shoes and jacket and put them in the places she always put them. She ran over to the couch and jumped on it, reaching for the controller. Which wasn't there.
Sakura got confused and started to look around. She looked at Syaoran with pleading eyes.
"Syao-kun, um where is the controller?" Syaoran shrugs and was about to walk to his room. But Sakura some how appeared right in front him.
"Syao-kun, what's wrong?" she asks with a frown.
"It's nothing." He answers back. He tried to get through her but she stopped him again.
"Syaoran, what's wrong?" Her face was full of worry. Syaoran sighed and looked away from her.
"It's nothing. It's just something stupid. Don't worry about it, okay? Just tell me how your date went."
"Uh if you say so. But yeah Xie Xie and I are going back out tonight." Sakura said smiling. Syaoran put on an unreal smile and patted her shoulder.
"That's good." He answered. Xie Xie…my gosh. He thought.
"Thanks a lot! I really like him. He's sweet. You have to meet him sometime, Syaoran."
'Meet him? Meet him? Oh my gosh.' He thought.
"Sure." He replied, showing no doubt, but wishing he did. Sakura hugged him once again.
"When?"
"Tonight."
Syaoran pulled back and looked at her like she's crazy.
"Tonight?"
"Aww, Syaoran, please tell me you're not busy. I want you to come and meet him, please?" And she did it. She put out her puppy face. Just imagine how hard it would be for Syaoran. Let's see.
Syaoran's POVShe had to. She had to. She had to do it all. Geez, sometimes I hate for knowing what can make me feel helpless and just do anything for her. It's not fair. Oh God, help me after I say this. "No, I got nothing planned." I say lamely.
I see her eyes light up and that makes my lips twitch into a smile.
"So you will?" she asked.
I nodded while she threw her arms around me again.
Boy is tonight going to be a long long night. Well…Syaoran you put this on yourself…you're going to have to do this.
I hug her back as she squeals in joy.
Geez, anything to make her happy. You have a serious problem, Xiao Lang. Oh I almost forgot, she doesn't even know that name. Well I'll tell her later.
I wonder if I should ask Sakura about…
"You didn't call yesterday, you got me worried."
My mouth speaks faster than I think it. I really have problems. I watched her as her fast expression changed into a sorrowful one.
"I'm so sorry, Syao-kun. Xie Xie and I were having too much fun. You understand, right?" There's that name again. Hmm…well now what should I say…
"Yes, I do." Wow, that's all I can think of? Sheesh.
"Gomen Nasai, Syao-kun!" She said hugging me tighter. I've never hugged for this long. It's kind of weird. But I can get use to it…too bad that I won't need to. Wait, it's not like she's getting married or something. You worry too much. Well, okay…*sighs* get ready cause here I go.
::*::
Later on that night…
Normal POVSyaoran followed behind Sakura, once they reached the restaurant. The two of them came together and Xie was going to meet them there.
Sakura looked behind her and grabbed onto Syaoran's hand to pull him faster.
"Come on, he's here already." She said pulling him through the restaurant. They bumped into a few people, but Sakura didn't even mind to say sorry.
"I…Sakura slow- excuse us…I'm sorry. Slow down!" Syaoran said and he excused them from whoever they bumped into.
"I see him, he's right there! Syaoran, that's him!" She said pointing to a Chinese looking guy with spiky hair and at a good height. He looked like he worked out and had very good skill in Martial Arts. Syaoran can easily tell who can fight and who cannot just by the way they stood or sat.
Without Syaoran noticing, Sakura ran over to Xie and gave him a big hug. And from then did he feel bad, also sad and jealous along with that.
He didn't recognize that Sakura was calling for him until she ran up to him.
"Syao-kun." She said tapping him, then suddenly grabbing him and pulled him over to Xie. When they got right in front of Xie, Xie held his hand out and smiled.
"I'm Wa Xie. You can call me Xie if you like." Syaoran took his hand and firmly shook it.
"Li Syaoran. Li will do." He said trying not to show his coldness.
"Are you Chinese?" Xie asked. Sakura butted in and answered for him.
"Yeah he is."
"Oh, what is your Chinese name? Unless Syaoran is it." Syaoran was a little uncomfortable, but he was right to guess that he was Chinese.
"Xiao Lang is my Chinese name." Sakura turned to him and grabbed his arms.
"You're real name is Xiao Lang?!? How come you didn't tell me that? That's so cool!" Syaoran sweatdropped.
"I'm sorry."
"OH MY! Li Xiao Lang?" Xie bursted out.
"Uh yeah." Suddenly Xie bowed to him in a respectful way.
"Um…what are you doing?" Sakura asked.
"I should always pay respects to the future leader of the Li Clan and to my cousin." Xie said as he rose from his bow.
"Cousin?" Syaoran asked, not really shocked from the future leader of the Li Clan thingy.
"Yes, I'm not sure if you remember. But…My real name is Wa Xie Ling." Syaoran thought for a moment. Wa Xie Ling. Wa Xie…WA XIE LING!
"OH! XI-LING" Syaoran said out happily.
"YEAH! XI-LANG!" Xie said with the same tone as Syaoran.
(A/N: What weird nicknames. @_@)
"Wait! What's happening here?" Sakura asked, lost in confusion.
They all got seated to tell Sakura the story between them.
"Okay, what is going on is that Xi-Ling and I both trained under Wei. We stopped training together from when his mom got remarried, so he left the Li Family. That's why I guess now he's a Wa."
"Yes, and Xi-Lang after awhile moved to Japan. I really came back to find him, but I gave up after awhile. And I decided to stay here. I've been here for almost a month." Syaoran turned to him and laughed.
"And you're already searching for a girlfriend?" he asked while he playfully punched him in the arm.
"Well, at least I'm getting one, instead of finding girlfriends for other people." Xie said back. They both laughed until Sakura popped out with a question.
"What's up with the nicknames Xi-Lang and Xi-Ling?" Both guys turned to her, then to each other, and laughed.
"Wei gave those names to us, because he use to get us mixed up somehow. And I don't know how Xi-Ling and Xi-Lang are easier to remember than Xiao Lang and Xie Ling." Xie said laughing. Syaoran was laughing as well.
Sakura smiled at the two getting along. It was still hard to imagine that they all knew each other.
::*::
The dinner went really well and the 3 of them all had fun. Xie was going to take Sakura out some place for alone time to talk and stuff. Syaoran didn't mind.
While he was driving back home, oh, did it hit him then. His cousin, his cousin is practically officially going out with his best friend. His best friend in which he's…
Syaoran's POVI can't believe it. My cousin…My best friend. It's weird. Maybe it's cause…well no nevermind that. That's still weird though. I'm happy that I got to see my cousin again, but why does it feel wrong for him to be here? Why do I feel like he's not supposed to be here? Here with Sakura. Eh…you're thinking weird Syaoran. I think you need rest. Heh…Xi-Lang. I haven't been called that in years. Wei even stopped calling me that after Xi-Ling left. I wonder why he left out the Ling in his name. Wa Xie Ling. It sounds good. Man, it's been so long. But everything's changed. Maybe he's changed. I don't know him fully now, just because of one night. Well I know I'll sure be seeing more of him. Well…HEY! STUPID BASTARD! LEARN HOW TO DRIVE BAKA! People these days. Teenagers…sheesh. Grow Up…oh wait, I'm only 18. But I'm hella more mature then them dudes. I shake my head slightly while still keeping an eye on the road. I make a quick turn before parking into my parking space. And I mean my. I look around to see my favorite store, it's a book store. Yes, I like to read. Don't be surprised. As I stepped a corner, I bumped into someone, I was really not in the mood to see. "Gomen." I murmured, then quickly left him. Didn't feel like dealing with him. But before I can even take another step, the doofus makes a remark. "Gomen My ASS!" I stood place, having my back towards him. I really don't want to deal with right now. Get the hell away, Akihiro. Just get the hell away. I think calmly. "What about the ugly thing?" I asked, turning toward him. "Wait oops, I think I mistaken it for your face." I say before turning my back and walking away. I feel a pull at my shoulder and almost got hit by a weak punch. I jammed my bottom of my hand, right into his nose and pushed him forward. I watched him as he tipped over and fell right on his butt. "Don't screw with me, alright?" I say lastly as I left him on the sidewalk, holding onto his nose. "BASTARD!" I hear him yell. I ignore him and headed to where I was going. Geez they come at the wrong times…always at the wrong times. As I look around the bookstore…I try to find me something that would come to my interest at this point of life. I found nothing. I ended up going home empty handed, but that was okay. ::*:: As I walk in the door, I see Eriol hanging out on the couch, without Tomoyo. I sigh as I come in and set myself to feel comfortable for home. I sit down on the other couch and relax a bit. "So where did you go?" Eriol asked. Where did I go? Oh…yeah…dinner. "Oh I went to dinner with Sakura and her new boyfriend." I watched Eriol's face as I say that and it face faulted. "Which happens to be my cousin." I continue. His face kept on getting worse and worse. "Who now is taking custom over Sakura for the rest of the night. While I'm here sitting on the couch looking at a guy who keeps changing his face expressions at everything I say." Eriol looked up and bit his bottom lip. "I don't know what to say, Syaoran. I'm sorry man." "Nah, Eriol, It's not your fault, so it doesn't matter." Normal POV Syaoran told him everything that happened that night and everything that happened before. Even to the point of bumping in to Akihiro. As if it didn't get any better, Eriol say a smile creep onto Syaoran's face. "Don't tell me this is a joke." Eriol said coldly. "No…It's no joke." "Then what's up with the smile?" Eriol asked, as the smile still remained on Syaoran's face. "I'm just practicing." "Practicing?" "The face that I have to have around Sakura." Syaoran said, his smile a little wider. "Huh?" Eriol was at the pinpoint of confused already. "I call it…Smiling Sadly." "Aww man, Syaoran. Come on." "I'm tired…I think I'm going to sleep now. Night man." Syaoran said while getting up and walking away out of Eriol's sight. "I feel so bad for him. Lord only knows what he's feeling. Smiling Sadly. Man, Syaoran do you deserve better." ::*:: In Syaoran's Room… Syaoran laid his head on his pillow and sighed. Smiling Sadly. Whatever made me come up with that name. Oh…Nevermind I know why. Sakura's loving someone else, while they're loving her back. But where do I fit into all of this? I should belong somewhere in this category. Cause well… I'm loving Sakura too. ::*:::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*::*:: well…I hope you like that chapter…I'll try to put the next one up as fast as I can to make up for how long it took to put up Chapter 6. I know this chapter isn't all that great but hey…uh whatever. Translations- If I haven't already did this word, cuz I'm too lazy to check if I did or not… Baka- meaning stupid… Well that's all for now. REVIEW PLEASE! ~LiLDraGoNGuRL28…aka May
