8: Only you
To go or not to go
Li syaoran paced up and down the spacious corridor of the Daidouji mansion. He really wanted to go to the school dance for some twisted, odd reason, yet he was apprehensive about going as well.
-flashback-Sakura: (giggles) hmm. Actually... I sort of have a date for the dance...
-end of flashback-
He ruffled his hair in frustration and annoyance, making it even messier than it was before. He tried reasoning with himself in desperation. "If I go, she'd think that I went there just to see who her date is! And she'll think that I'm jealous!" he exclaimed as he walked up a few steps, then turned around and walked back down. "Which I am not" he added as an afterthought.
"But if I don't go, I'll be pacing around all day deciding whether I really should have gone or not!" he continued, walking up a couple of steps.
"Li! I'm leaving in 10! You coming?" Eriol shouted from across the hall.
Syaoran stopped his pacing and shrugged. What have I got to lose in going?
( meanwhile....)
-school hall-
"Sakura, if you really want to know whether he is here why not just ask Eriol?"
"Oh no no no!" Sakura half shouted, then clasped both hands over her mouth. "Who said that I was looking for Syaoran anyway?" She continued, peering out of the room door into the hall as she spoke.
"Who said that I was talking about Syaoran...?" Tomoyo slyly noted, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"U-uh... Tomoyo! Could you please help me with my makeup now?" she changed the subject hastily and heaved a small sigh of relief when her best friend didn't prod on but instead focus her attention on what she just loved doing.
(later that day)
What am I doing here again? Li scowled as he pushed his way through the mass of people in the school hall. It was a push-or-get-pushed situation. It amazed him sometimes how the puny school hall could actually fit so many people from three different high schools.
Eriol scurried after his cousin, having a harder time at trying to push his way through the buzzling crowd, having a more delicate physique, which Syaoran fondly called 'weak'.
She isn't anywhere! Syaoran caught himself thinking before he could even realize that he had been subconsciously searching for a certain, auburn-haired beauty. Instantly berating himself for drifting towards thoughts of HER, Syaoran didn't pay attention to the chatter among him or the high school girls checking him out. He found himself thinking about why he couldn't find her in the crowd- it couldn't be a problem with him since searching for a person in a large crowd was part of his training routine back home. Maybe she forgot... he thought, feeling disappointed. But he perked up immediately as a familiar voice rang through the hall.
"Welcome to the inter-high dance! And now, it's time to paaartaaye!!!"
He watched as he saw the slip of a girl energize the crowd, officially signaling the dance to start. He watched as her normally un-made up face now artistically decorated with mascara and eyeliner which brought out her emerald orbs, and maroon lipgloss lining her mouth, crinkle in pleasure at the roaring cheers from the crowd.
Then she started singing.
See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)
Damn, that girl can sing. Syaoran
watched as she sang on the stage, accompanied by Tomoyo on the electric
guitar and backup vocals, Chiharu on the keyboard, and Rika on the
drums.
What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone
The
band had caught the crowd's attention the moment they had began, and
everyone danced and swayed to the rhythm. Sakura saw this and her
nervousness melted away into the song, and closed her eyes, enjoying
every minute of being on stage.
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognize the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are
One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognize the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are
She never ceased to amaze him.
It's all about power then
Take control
Breaking the rule
Breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there's nothing left
My oh my, my oh my
What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We' ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone.... so alone
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognize the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are
It's all about power then (we are)
Take control (we are)
Breaking the rule (we are, we are)
Breaking the soul (we are)
They suck us dry till there's nothing left (we are, we are)
My oh my, my oh my
We are
We are (its all )
We are
We are, we are (take control)
We are
We are
It's all about power
Then take control
They just stared at each other, as if in a trance. Nothing was said, yet nothing needed to be. Syaoran smiled one of his rare smiles and gave her two thumbs up. Sakura returned his smile with one of her bright ones, somehow, his acceptance meant so much more than it ever had.
And she couldn't explain why.
