Okay now, let's start Chapter2!

------------------------------

Chapter 2: Love and Hate

"Syaoran-kun?!" both shock and surprise overtook Sakura. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. The boy that had left her for five years, five long years and now, he just shows up at her school, HER classroom. That bastard!

Syaoran heard someone shout his name. He looked around and saw the girl glaring at him. That girl, it reminded him of someone, someone.....Sakura? Can't be, that can't be her, but still... that soft skin, that auburn hair of hers, she was blooming with beauty. He noticed that she had grown her hair long, she still had those emerald eyes that still made him melt as he gazed into those clear jewels, that glare she gave him couldn't be helped, considering on what happened the last time. So many schools, so many classes, why did he end up in the same classroom as her, he thought. She mustn't know what he was up to or else that will happen. He must not get caught up on his emotions.

"You seem to know each other. Well then, Mr. Li please sit at the back of Ms. Kinomoto." Ms. Izumo told Syaoran.

Sakura heard every bit of what the teacher said, Syaoran sitting at her back like when they were in fourth-grade, No Way!

"NO! Don't let him seat there or—"Ms Izumo cut her off.

"You do as I say or else I'll have you in detention!" commanded their teacher sternly.

"Hai sensei.." muttered Sakura, murmuring curses at her. Sakura slid back to her seat to think about her situation.

She won't be hurt again; she won't show her emotions to the bastard, she's above being stupid and careful now unlike those days. She was hurt, deep inside herself she still loved him, but above that love is hatred and revenge. He must pay.

"Sakura-chan, it'll be okay" Tomoyo reassured her best friend. She had been there for Sakura when the bastard broke her best friend's heart. She had comforted her and stayed with her for weeks. That incident had hurt her as much as Sakura did that she promised to herself that she will protect her best friend from the likes of him.

"I'll be fine Tomoyo, don't worry." Sakura reassured her best friend. She will be okay, she had already closed her heart to everyone even for him, but still, seeing that unruly chestnut hair of his still made her long for him. Those dreamy brown eyes, she loved staring at those eyes, those hard muscles of his made her want for him even more. She knew she must resist the temptations, and she will.

Syaoran slowly went to his seat, no, to his doom. He glanced up on Tomoyo-san and saw those hot emotions of hatred and disgust lurking inside her. A dragon, he thought. A dragon, protecting her princess. That's fine alright and just let the world crash up to him.

He sighed as he went, still trying to avoid their glares as he walked past them to his seat. He slumped at his desk, still thinking of a way out when someone spoke to him.

"It's been a long time, Syaoran, you look well." Acted Sakura coolly.

Syaoran was caught off-guard that Sakura just spoke to her; but still, it has no hint of love or warmth in it, just cold indifference.

"Well...Umm...yeah, you look well also." replied Syaoran, still trying to compose himself

Sakura smiled at Syaoran's reaction to her. Perfect. He won't have the satisfaction of seeing her hurt this tine now that she has a plan. A perfect revenge for the perfect bastard.

The rest of the day went out like a breeze, and before Sakura knew it, it was already late and she was at the front lawn of her house.

Sakura opened the door and stepped right in. Nobody's around, she remembered. Touya's out with Kaho on their honeymoon in France for a month, and her father was off on a business trip and won't be beck for a week. Kero-chan, on the other hand, went off somewhere with Yue to do something Sakura couldn't quite comprehend. Sakura was alone by herself. Perfect. Time to prepare her plan for tomorrow.

-------- O--------

" What do you men Syaoran went to Japan?!" Shouted Meiling, her face turning red. She couldn't believe that man, leaving her behind while he went off to Japan and doing God –knows –what there. Even if she had no feelings for him, she still cared for Syaoran.

"Madam Meiling, please calm down, young master said that you should stay here so that you'll be safe from danger." Their butler Fei said calmly.

"Calm down?! How can I calm down when Syaoran-kun's out to Japan risking his life while I stay here and lie down?!" Demanded Meiling. She rushed off to her room and banged the door loudly.

Fei sighed. "Couldn't be helped, she'll realize it when she cools down a bit." He went back to his work.

"Damn that Syaoran!"Meiling muttered, why couldn't he understand her feelings. She wanted to help, but since she had no power in her doesn't mean she's worthless.

She stepped outside her room to cool down her aching head. The sky was clear that night, the stars hanging out of the celestial skies, the cool breeze that passes her face made her foul mood change.

As she walked down the sloping path down to the city, she noticed something strange, the brushes were getting thicker, the trees were almost overlapping each other, and the clear sky was now barely seen. The hairs at the back of her neck were standing. Something's watching her.

This wasn't the path to the city; she tried to backtrack her way but all around her unfamiliar. Something moved from the dark brushes and was slowly winding its way up to Meiling.

Feeling the rising sense of danger, Meiling ran as fast as she could , feeling the dread of something following her. The trees were like an unending sea of darkness. There were no animals or anything moving except Meiling and that creature.

Meiling ran as fast as she can, she couldn't run any longer. That thing was almost catching up to her; she couldn't think of any means of escape, she couldn't keep running anymore, she had to stop.

Meiling tripped out of exhaustion, she knew she was done for.
