To answer a few questions. Sakura is still has the cards and everything but
it's just not really highlighted in this story.
Also, if you wanna know who beat her up then you'll have to wait a few
chapters. Sorry.
And to all the people who want me to update, thanks for liking my story
that much, I'm going as fast as I can. I will try and update once a week or
quicker if I can.
Chapter 3
The Dare
Flashback
"It a bit "
"FUN!" She shouted outraged.
Letting go of his neck, she began pummelling him.
"Now this is fun!" She shouted as she punched him in the !"
End of Flashback
Syaoran stood in front his bathroom mirror, studying the damage that had been done to his face.
Syaoran POV
I can't believe that actually happened. That girl needs to be locked away, she's mental. I mean she just freaked out for no reason and started attacking me. Sure, I played a tiny little prank on her and embarrassed her in front of everyone at school but that's no reason to get physical about it. And how could she do that to me anyway, me leader of the Li clan. What kind of leader gets beaten up by some stupid girl who can't take a joke. But now that I think about it, you can't really call it beating up. Yeah, I have two black eyes; a cut lip and I swear I've broken a rib or something. But that's not bad right? It's just a few scratches. First that freak goes and makes me look like a total wimp in front of everyone then she gets me doubting my role as leader of the Li clan. Nobody does that to me and gets away with it. I have a reputation to protect. I think this calls for another little prank just to teach that wannabe bully who's boss. Although this prank will be far from little.
Sakura's house was in complete darkness as she sat in the corner of her room, wiping away tears as they fell sporadically from her eyes.
Sakura POV
I am so ashamed of myself. I've become exactly like the people who caused me to be to be like this. When I promised myself that I wouldn't be the victim again, I also promised never to harm anyone unless they deserve it. But the thing is that no one deserves to be beaten up, even that excuse for a guy, Syaoran. He reminds of the people I have grown to hate. I have never been so embarrassed in all my life, except for the last time it was done to me. 3 years ago. I will just try and stay away from him because if he ever does anything to me again, there's no telling what I might do.
Eriol POV
I did it again. This is the second time that I have just watched while Sakura was in trouble. This time wasn't so bad but it just brings back memories of what happened the last time. Sakura still hasn't forgiven me but then again I've never apologised for it. If I don't I'll never forgive myself. Syaoran is probably planning another prank after what Sakura did to him but I'll make sure that I change his mind, maybe I can change Sakura's too. I'm gonna need some help though.
He picked up his phone and called Tomoyo.
The next morning
Sakura's alarm rang waking her up from a really good dream. She missed Kero screaming at her to wake up. She had been left completely alone since he went to stay at Eriol's house and her Father and Brother were always away. Kero had invited her along but since the incident with Eriol she felt better staying at home, even if it was alone.
She ate a quick breakfast and began making her way to school, walking today instead of skating because she was in such a bad mood and she hadn't had much sleep. Sakura had been walking for about five minutes when a torrential downpour began, blackening her mood further. She sighed deeply and continued her journey.
Syaoran stood in the living of his house, losing a 10 minute battle with his mother about whether he should go to school or not. "Please Mother, don't make me go to school."
"No, you are going to school and that's final, it's your fault for not defending yourself properly and for being so awful to that girl and not expecting anything to happen to you."
"But Mother I-"
"I am already late for work and your not making it any better. Just get to school Syaoran. NOW!"
Syaoran grumbled and mumbled something under his breath before trudging out of the door, into the rain. His mother, Yelan, thought that as leader of the Li clan he should be more responsible for his actions, so whenever something happened she let him take care of it. But, she was always at work so he had to look after himself anyway.
Sakura arrived late for class and sat down in her usual seat but not before nearly drenching everyone with her coat as she took it off.
It was only a few minutes later when Syaoran walked in, making everyone gasp at his injuries, he apologised to the teacher and sat down as if his black eyes didn't make him look like some sort of modified panda.
Sakura stared at his face and felt guilt eat away at her as she realised just how badly she had damaged him. He had actually looked sorta human before but now, he just looked plain freaky. Unable to look at him she adjusted her gaze and focused on an inkblot on her paper.
She heard her name whispered a few times to the right of her and turned around to see Tomoyo and Eriol of all people, grinning back at her. "Meet us outside at lunch."
"Yeah, whatever."
Sakura had no intention whatsoever of meeting anyone outside, especially Eriol and his girlfriend.
At lunch she went and sat in her favourite spot beneath a sakura tree and began enjoying her lunch. Until she was interrupted by Tomoyo and Eriol shouting and waving at her from across the other side of the grounds.
"Hey, you were supposed to meet us out here." Tomoyo said while smiling and sitting herself down next to Sakura.
"Whoa, you people really are getting your hopes aren't you? First, you think that I'm actually going to meet you then you assume you can just go sitting next to me like we're the best of friends."
"Well, I don't see why we can't be friends."
"Take a look in the mirror and I'm sure you'll find out, besides I don't need your friendship offers. What d'you think I'm some kind of charity case?"
"No, of course not, we actually came over here to ask you something."
"Fine. Ask quickly then go away, looking at your forever smiling face is making me wanna puke."
Tomoyo then stopped smiling and looked quite annoyed "I'm going to ignore that remark." She stated then promptly began smiling again. "Now, I was wondering. You're not the sort of person to back out on a small dare are you?"
"No, I guess not."
"Excellent! Right well we dare you to be nice and polite, for two weeks."
"Nice and polite for two weeks? Hmm, I can do that. But wait. Why am I doing this for you again?"
Tomoyo's usually sweet grin became slightly evil and she replied "Because if you don't we'll tell the whole school that you're a wimp, you wouldn't want that would you? Besides that's not quite the whole dare."
She paused and tried not to laugh at the pure genius of her and Eriol's evil plan.
Syaoran was strolling around devising his next prank for Sakura. He looked up and saw Eriol waving at him from under a tree where Tomoyo was in conversation with Sakura.
Huh? Sakura's actually conversing with someone. She must be ill. Syaoran thought as he approached Eriol. "So, what's the rest of the dare then?" Sakura enquired uninterestedly.
"Well, you have to be nice and polite to only one person, meaning you have to be a girlfriend."
Sakura laughed sarcastically "Yeah right, you people are so funny."
"No. It's not a joke Sakura, you've got to be a girlfriend. But not just any old girlfriend, you get to be his girlfriend." Tomoyo hand extended her hand and was now pointing at an approaching Syaoran, who looked a little confused at the sudden attention.
"You want ME to be SYAORAN'S GIRLFRIEND for TWO WEEKS!"
Syaoran heard her sudden outburst and yelled "WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Forget this, go and pick some other girl who's stupid enough do this death defying dare." Sakura stood up and 'accidentally' threw her apple at Syaoran, took a few steps away and was then held back by Tomoyo.
Syaoran who was still confused about what was going on looked from one to the other and demanded an explanation from Eriol who gladly explained, the soon to be brilliant situation.
"We dared Sakura to be your girlfriend for two weeks. And you have to agree to this dare as well."
"Hell no! There is no way on earth that I'll do it. Look at her, she throws apples at people."
"No, I only throw apples at you." Sakura replied smartly.
"Oh, come on Eriol, anything but this."
Eriol looked smug "Was it not you who said, and I quote 'I never back out on a dare, no matter what it is'?
"Um. Yeah it was, but-"
(lol he's always bein interrupted)
"No buts. This means that you have to do this dare. If not we'll tell the whole school that you two are a pair of wimps and u back out on a silly little dare. This applies to you too Sakura."
"Why does it have to me and it over there, why not some other people.?"
"There are two reasons that we chose you Sakura. The first one is that we can see how much you hate Syaoran and I shall tell you the second reason another time."
Eriol then turned to Syaoran.
"I chose you because I wanted to see if you actually meant what you said about accepting any dare and also because it will be extremely fun to watch."
"So are you both agreed?" Tomoyo put in eagerly.
Sakura and Syaoran both considered saying no but then they both remembered that their reputations lay at stake. They didn't want anyone thinking that they were wimps and anyway the dare wasn't that hard, was it?
"Yeah, whatever."
"Fine."
Both of them couldn't help feeling that they'd just made a really big mistake.
Tomoyo clapped her hands with delight and grinned in a sinister manner.
Syaoran took one look at Tomoyo and stepped back cautiously.
"Eriol, why is she grinning like that? What haven't you told us?"
Eriol looked slightly, only slightly, sorry for them at this point.
"We haven't told you the rules yet."
Syaoran's mouth dropped open.
"Huh? Rules? What rules? All we have to do is occasionally smile at each other and that's it. That's what bein a couple's all about right?"
He looked hopeful.
Tomoyo and Eriol gave each other a 'can-you-believe-this' look.
"You know perfectly well that isn't what it's all about. But anyway, here are the rules." Tomoyo began.
"Number 1. You must spend all your time with each other in school, except classes. Number 2. Whenever you're with each other you have to be civilised. Syaoran, that means no pranks and Sakura that means polite conversation. And lastly, number 3. You have to have at least one date."
"A DATE!?" Sakura and Syaoran yelled together.
"Yes. A date. And seeing as today is Friday, your date shall be tommorow. Everything is planned you'll get the info about where the date is and anything else needed, so, all you have to do is pick Sakura up at 7 O'clock. Her house. Have fun" Tomoyo smiled and strode away before they could say anything in protest.
"I know you will." Eriol laughed and ran to catch up with his girlfriend.
To be continued.
I hope this chapter was alright.
Please keep reviewing, like you know you want to.
