4: Pushing you away
She, Eriol and Tomoyo had planned on what to do together the day before. They were each shooting out different suggestions on where to go and had even gotten to the point of arm wrestling to reach a decision, when Tomoyo suggested that they do it all in one day.
Which meant that today, they were going to cycle to the jetty, sail on a rented pico or bide, wakeboard (led by Tomoyo's speedboat), have a picnic, swim at the club pool, skate in the park, then finally have a stroll down the beach.
She smiled. It's going to be such a wonderful day.Syaoran was pacing up and down the corridor, trying to think of a reasonable excuse to get rid of what Tomoyo named 'a kawaii outing cum bonding session!' meh. BONDING session? Sure I'd go He thought to himself sarcastically.
It hurt his pride- he wouldn't be caught dead going to some sappy bonding session. 'But Sakura's going...' A lingering voice inside of his head spoke up. 'Are you SURE you don't want to join her...?' It taunted again in a melodic tone, not unlike Sakura's when she was the one taunting him. His defiant 'no! s' were slowing dying out as the battle in his mind continued.
Urg. He sighed and finally gave in, since all that inner conflict was giving him a splitting headache, and also since Tomoyo would probably haul him in if she needed to anyway. There is no point in refusing since I'd be bugged into doing it. Li comforted himself. But the mere thought of doing that many activities in a day irked him.
He sighed. It's going to be such a horrible day.
-At Tomoyo's place-
"Well, there goes our plan," Tomoyo sighed as she looked out the window; It was pouring. Black clouds, freezing rain- you name it.
"yeah...." Sakura replied as she gazed out the window and absent-mindedly fiddled with her auburn locks, disappointed that their carefully planned bonding session would not be taking place. Instead, she would be stuck at Tomoyo's house with a very grouchy Tomoyo, a creepy Eriol who was hiding in the dark shadowy corners of the room and chuckling occasionally, and a VERY happy Syaoran who was currently bouncing around the room, shouting stuff about how he loved the water cycle.
"How about we play truth or d—OW!" Eriol suddenly appeared from one of his dark corners, getting himself hit by various items such as hairbrushes and nailfiles for scaring the two girls.
"anooo...." Sakura was hesitant about accepting his offer. Irk. Better not. She thought as she remembered the times they used to play that dreaded game in the past. Eriol had an uncanny ability to come up with the most horribly sadistic dares and embarrassing questions, and something always seemed to happen which made it seem even more embarrassing, that made everyone suspect that Eriol could read minds or even peer into the future.
Which of course he could.
-flashback-
There was this time when they were playing that game in a fast-food joint, and Eriol had dared Sakura to approach the next male to enter that particular fast-food joint which they were in, and tell that random person that she loved him. Sakura agreed, thinking that it wouldn't be that bad since she probably would not ever see that stranger again.
Oh how wrong she was. They waited until a group of girls entered, and right behind them came..... Yukito.
Of course, once she agreed to a dare, there was no backing out, so she gathered up her courage and approached him.
"erm.... Yuki..."
"hmm? Oh hey there sakura!"
"urh... you see.... I LOVE YOU!!"
"a-ah?" Then spotting Eriol and Tomoyo at a table, laughing, he put two and two together. "Oh, I see. It's a dare isn't it?"
Sakura nodded furiously, her whole face flaming red.
He laughed good- naturedly. "I thought so. Well, cya around Sakura!" He ruffled her hair and left to get his food, leaving a blushing Sakura watching him go, whilst planning ways and means of torturing Eriol when she got back, inviting Eriol to read her thoughts, which made him go pale.
-End flashback-
Oh well. I guess reading minds has its perks Sakura sniggered at the memory of her dear friend cowering under her murderous glares.
Syaoran had been watching Sakura for a while now. He didn't know what compelled him to do so but he still watched her anyway. She looks like an angel.... He felt his heart thump faster and blood rise to his cheeks as he watched her fall asleep on the window sill, her head resting on her arms as her silky auburn hair fell over the side of her face, the rain and lightning outside casting shadows over the contours of her face contrasting with her milky complexion, making her seem as if she was glowing.
What the hell am I thinking. He chided himself for the umpteenth time that day for thinking about sakura kinomoto. He was aware of the fact that when he was awake, all his thoughts seemed to relate back to her, and he even dreamt about her when he was sleeping.
He had never felt this way before, and was at a lost at what to do about it. Deep down, he knew what was happening to him, but he didn't want to admit to it.
Not then, not now. Not ever.
The walls he spent his whole life building around him were slowly disintegrating, and the thought of what would happen scared him. Badly.
Hoohoo. I'm done with yet another chap! And I noticed that my titles don't seem to match what the chapter is about -.-". anyway! Thanks again to everyone who reviewed and please continue to do so!!
Well, till next time. Cya ;)
