The Kiss
By
Cherry Kay
Summary: No. This can't be happening. I just didn't do it. Oh my god! Is he going to think I have a crush on him now? Of course, you idiot, he would. You just kissed him in front of the bloody school. And without his permission either.
Chapter Two: The Aftermath
My eyes widened in surprise as it dawned to me what I was doing.
I pulled away.
Oh No!
This can't be happening.
I just didn't do it.
Oh my god!
Is he going to think I have a crush on him now?
Of course, you idiot, he would.
You just kissed him in front of the bloody school.
And without his permission either.
I held my breath as I look at him and saw his lips were still slightly open.
I was tempted to smirk for a moment that I thoroughly shocked him but the situation was not even close to being funny.
Yeah right!
The whole school was bloody looking at you, including your almighty brother who was already turning into an ugly shade of green.
Uh oh!
This was the real trouble!
Damn my uncontrollable temper!
Now what the heck am I going to do now?
I was lost.
Definitely.
So I did the only think I could think of.
I fainted.
-
I slowly opened my eyes.
White.
All I saw was the color white.
Where the heck am I?
"Finally you're up, Sakura." A worried voice suddenly spoke.
I turned my head slightly to the left.
It was Tomoyo.
"I was so worried about you."
I gave her a confused look.
"Huh? What happened?" I asked.
"You mean, you don't remember?" She asked, confused as well.
Then suddenly, it all came back to me.
The clock.
My brother.
The Ball.
Li Syaoran.
The Kiss…
"Oh my god!" I suddenly screamed.
My first kiss… was now gone… And taken by that stupid Li…
Actually you were the one who started it so you shouldn't blame Li after all, he was the victim here not you. My conscience said.
Shut up! I said to myself.
I was really annoyed because my conscience speaks the truth.
I sighed sadly.
Oh well, there are still a lot more firsts, anyway…
"Guess you remember now, huh?" Tomoyo said, breaking me out of my reverie.
Yeah I remember but I was still in denial though.
"No, I just didn't do that. Please tell me that was all just a nightmare." I pleaded helplessly.
"Sorry Saku, but the whole school saw it," She paused for a moment. "And your brother as well…"
I was horrified.
"Oh no! Was Li killed?" I asked.
I know it was a stupid question but I couldn't help it.
My brother is overprotective of me, and me kissing a guy is certainly new to him so you never know what may happen.
Tomoyo gave me a weird look.
"Of course not, Sakura!"
"So what happened then?" I asked, curious as to why there wasn't any one in the hospital right now.
"Well, when you fainted, Touya, who was still angry with you kissing Li, carried you all the way starting from the field to the clinic, he left a couple of minutes before you woke up. I think." Tomoyo said with uncertainty in her voice.
I look at her suspiciously.
There was something Tomoyo was hiding.
"What about Li? Our schoolmates?" I asked.
"Uhm… I don't really know what happened then Sakura. Li was just staring into space probably was still shocked on what you did, and well our schoolmates were whispering about what happened, I guess." Tomoyo said in the same voice.
She still wasn't telling me the whole truth.
Oh well, I'm going to find it out eventually.
And anyway, that wasn't even the real problem.
How the heck am I going to face the school and the Ice Prince now?
-
I sighed heavily as my brother and I walked home.
He wasn't in speaking terms with me.
Yup, he was definitely still mad at me.
He had arrived at the clinic a few minutes after I woke up then just said "Let's go."
I of course, followed and waved bye to Tomoyo after giving her a quick hug and whispered "thanks."
Those two words were only the ones that were said between us in 15 minutes of walking.
It seems short but I think time's purposely making it slower and longer for me.
I hated silence.
I hated it so much that I actually had the courage to say something.
"Uhm, Touya?" I asked, uncertain.
I didn't receive any reply as expected.
Guess I have to apologize.
"I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to do it. I was just so mad at you because, well, you were treating like I'm 8 years old, or something, but I'm not. I'm already sixteen years of age so it's already legal for me to date, and well, to do what I want with limits of course." I said seriously.
And again, no reply.
This was really getting on my nerves.
Here I am, apologizing, giving my heart out and all he was doing was ignoring me.
I shook my head.
No, Sakura, you have to keep your temper in check.
Besides, it was partly your fault too.
I sighed.
"I know you're really upset with me but can you please stop ignoring my apology. And I swear, I didn't mean to kiss that guy, I hardly even know him, and besides, you know me, when I'm angry I tend to lose control over what I'm doing and so please forgive me…"
He sighed.
Uh huh! Finally!
"You know Sakura, I'm just protecting you… Those guys in your school cannot be trusted, I know you say their not looking at you but they do, they really do. I know how guys act Sakura, after all I am one. I'm just worried about you and be glad I didn't beat the shit out of that Li guy for kissing you because I was so worried when you fainted. Though I'm still really upset with what you did." Touya said in a quite forgiving voice.
I smiled and hugged him.
"Thanks!" I said happily as I look up at him.
He was frowning but in a good way.
"Humph! I'm still not forgiving you yet, kaijuu. You have to do two weeks of my chores from now on." He said with finality in his voice.
"Two weeks!" I shrieked.
There was in no way I would do his chores for two straight weeks. No way!
"Two weeks, or I'm going to come to your school everyday." He said, smirking.
Humph! Damn him!
"Fine, fine, I'll do it." I said with a defeated sigh.
"Good kaijuu." He said as he ruffled my hair. He was still a great deal taller than me.
I was only 5'4.
But anyway, at least all's well again.
Though I don't think going to school tomorrow is going to be all that great.
Oh well, I have to face it sooner or later anyway so guess I have to then.
-
I was stuck in front of the school gate.
I knew I was late because there were no more students occupying the school ground, just a few employees here and there.
And the guard was looking at me weirdly.
"Hey there girl, you should get in, you're already late as it is, or do you want me to call the principal?" He warned.
I sighed.
"Yeah, fine, I was going to." I said as I went inside.
I was walking slowly.
So slowly that I was surprised when I reached my room in just a few minutes…
3A
Oh well, here it goes…
I knock three times.
NO answer.
I knock again, this time louder.
And I met face to face with my teacher.
Oh good, just my luck, the strict one.
"Yes, may I help you?" She asked quite sternly.
And did I mention, forgetful?
"Well, I'm a student of this class and well-" I didn't finish my excuse when she suddenly started screaming.
"What? You're already 30 minutes late Miss-" She paused for a moment and looked at me. I rolled my eyes as I mumbled my last name, "Kinomoto, report to the principal's office immediately!" And the door was shut.
I mumble something incoherent before grudgingly went to the principal's office.
It wasn't really my first time there. Actually, I know the principal's office like the back of my hand. That was the place where I and my brother were always sent when he goes beating the shit out of guys here in school.
I sighed heavily again as I saw the familiar green door of the principal's office.
Here we go again…
I knocked a few times and the door was opened by the principal's secretary, Ms. Hino.
"Oh here again, Miss Kinomoto, I see. What did your brother do now?" She said with a stern voice.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
"My brother didn't do anything. I was late." I simply said.
Her eyes still look suspiciously at me.
"Very well then," She said after giving me a calculating look. "Just wait over there, the principal's busy right now, and I have to go so don't do anything you aren't allowed to do." She said and was gone.
"Whatever." I mumbled as I entered the room but I stopped in my tracks when I saw who was in the room.
The Ice Prince himself.
Oh no.
