Unending BattlesChapter 4: Come Back To Me
Even though she had no idea where she was going, Yume was running as fast as she could. After at least thirty minutes, she got a cramp in her stomach and stopped to rest under a tree. Sitting there gasping for breath, she finally had to face what she feared most: someone caring about her. Not just them caring about her, but more so her caring about someone else. My entire life, everyone has always hated me, and I hate everyone else so things have always evened out...so why now do I find out there's someone who not only can tolerate me, as I've thought Eriol had been, but actually caring about me...I don't get it. Her heart was still running, even though her breathing had gone back to normal. God, my stomach is in knots...my heart is flying...what is going on with me? "I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE!!" she screamed as loud as she could, "so why do I always find myself thinking about Eriol...? I don't understand..." Tears began to well up, and her throat began to tighten. What? Now what is going on with me? she thought as she brought a hand up to wipe her face. Huh? My face is wet? I'm not sweating that much from running...what is this? And then Yume realized exactly what it was, Tears? I'm...I'm crying?! I've never cried before in my life...why now? And then something else hit Yume like a blow to the stomach, I...I actually love that baka, don't I? As if responding to this thought, her throat loosened and her eyes dried. "That's it isn't it? HA HA HA! HAHAHAHA!" she laughed until her stomach hurt. Once she had composed herself again, Yume muttered, "the butterfly was right...great..." Then she got up, and began to walk, still not knowing where she was headed.
:::DING::: :::DONG:::
"Eriol-kun, there you are! What happened? Where's Nozomi-chan?" asked Sakura
"I don't know...." He said in dismay.
"Eriol-kun, what's wrong?" asked Tomoyo.
"Eh? Oh, nothing," he said quickly smiling.
"So you couldn't find Nozomi-san?" questioned Li, not believing him that everything was ok.
"Eh...well, I found her, but we sort of got into an argument and she ran off..."
"Ah. Well, I'll come with you to find her this time. Remember, she doesn't know her way around Tomoeda like we do."
"Un...alright. We'll be back soon," he added to Tomoyo and Sakura as he and Li left.
"H-hai..." mumbled Sakura.
"So," began Li, "what's going on?"
"Huh? N-nothing, everything is fine."
"No it's not,"
Eriol sighed, there was no fooling Li... "I...kissed Yume-chan, and then told her that I love her...she didn't believe me, and then ran off."
"Ah, gomen nasai," Li apologized, "I'll call her and ask where she is. What's her phone number?"
"666-4469" (Author: no, this is not a real phone number, at least I hope its not, so please don't call it...)
:::Ring::: :::Ring::: :::Ring:::
"Yo," Yume said for the second time that day.
"Nozomi-san, doko dai yo?"
Yume sighed. Don't these people realize that I'd RATHER be alone..? "Um...I don't know Li-san. Why don't I meet you back at that Penguin Park?"
"Can you find it again from where you are?"
"Of course I can! I'm not directionally challenged!" she sounded rather insulted.
"Alright, Eriol-san and I will meet you there then."
:::Click:::
...Eriol-san...? Great...just great... Yume sighed and turned around.
Yume met up with Li and Eriol with no trouble and the three began walking back to Sakura's house in silence. (Until Eriol broke it by trying to make small talk, that is.)
"So, Li-kun, how are things going with you and Sakura?" asked Eriol, "I never heard if she gave you an answer or not."
"Uh, yea she did. I suppose things would be better if I could visit more often, but other than that things seem to be fine."
"That's good."
"Yea."
I'd rather gag on a spoon than be around these guys and their small talk... Yume thought disgustedly.
"Nozomi-san," Li said suddenly, "is there anyone that you like?"
Yume looked at him confused, "Define this "like" you speak of for me please."
"Um, someone you enjoy being around more than anyone else, or that you can't stop thinking about...have special feelings for...something like that..." Eriol's face began to turn red while Li describe it, but no one else noticed.
"Hah, yea right. You've got to be kidding me." Yume started to laugh, but it sounded forced.
"Sharon-kun! Eriol-kun! I'm glad you guys are back," said Sakura hugging both Li and Eriol.
"Ah, Nozomi-san is also back." Noted Tomoyo.
"Alright...that's it," said Yume, "I'm sick of this Nozomi-san, Nozomi-chan, Yume-san and Yume-chan crap. My name is Yume. Use it, without a suffix."
Author: oh, Kami-sama, I hate myself for this chapter. twitch I'm starting to make this into a FUCKING ROMANCE!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!! T.T I hate romance, if you can't tell. I'm also starting to turn Yume into the main character, which is also something I don't want to do. I hate it when people make up characters and then stick them in a fic as the main character, stealing the spot-light from everyone else who is far superior to something a dumb fuck made up. No offence to anyone who has, I'm insulting myself here too!! Please don't flame me for my opinions...and don't let it affect you enjoying this story either. I'll try to keep my opinions to myself .
sigh i also dont know where and/or how to continue from here. i've had serious writes block the last couple of months (yes, i wrote this before school started, and am just now posting it). if you have any ideas please let me know. i may also eventually add on to the end of this chapter just because i dont like how it ends...but dont worry, if i do i'll be sure to post at the begining of Chapter 5 that i did! er...i will once i get around to actually writing again... . ;
