She was labeled Outcast. Kicked out of her school, her home, her country, she flees to the only place where peace will allow her to follow, the states. Three years later, she's coming back for more. Now it's her turn to label them. She is also back for sweet bitter revenge. Watch as she collides with Syaoran Li, the only person who looked passed her flab, and into her heart he went.
Chapter 2 – Divided Yet United >
At times…I felt like crawling under a rock and maybe…die. Suicide was tempting at times but…I want to live and die normally. No, I don't want Dana to kill me, that's unnatural. Back to the crawling under a rock and dying thing, this is the exact moment I wanted to hide forever.
I walked down the halls which seemed to never end. My destination was the office…of doom! Students made an isle and watched me quietly, dark eyes leered me. But I held my head up high and walked faster…until I heard a shout which sent chills down my spine.
"Kinomoto! Hurry, hurry! My grandmother walks faster than you!" I turned my head to the right and the desire for a shovel emerged. I ignored Dana's shameless assaults on my weight. Yes, I am an obese girl. I ate a lot when I was a child, we all did. But as most kids grew, they ate less. To my left, Veronica stood. I caught only a small glimpse of her. A scathing glare was on her perfect face with massive make up.
"Just because the whole school is here watching you walk doesn't mean you are popular you-you chunky, fleshy deadbeat!" She spat at me and blended into the crowd once more.
"Does someone think they're popular here?" She hissed, I pretended to ignore her being an outcast hurt me deeply…what is she up to? Veronica followed me along the isle. I glared at her and walked faster, almost running. I suddenly halted as a foot stuck out, attempting to trip me. I stared at the owner of the foot. It was Katherine.
"You've got some big feet Katherine. Be careful, you could have tripped me with your clown feet!" I muttered angrily. Katherine was the most stupid girl in the school so she was the only one I fought back with. She's only popular because she's pretty. This is where I started running.
"I have small feet, Loser! I'm size 6! Gosh!" Katherine yelled after me. I began running. I shouldn't pick a fight with them…I ran as fast as I could but soon, I collided with someone. I dropped and was sprawled on the floor, my head…it hurts even more than yesterday. I looked up and caught a glimpse of two shocked burnt sienna orbs. That was the last thing I saw…
"Young man, I have a feeling you knock her out and carry her here now!" A joking voice said.
"B-b-but it was accident…I…err, is she going to wake up soon?" Was that…Syaoran? I slowly opened my eyes and blinked. As usual, mahogany eyes bore into mine.
"Syaoran…" I muttered as I sat up from the hard bed. My head…it felt like Dana threw bricks at me continuously.
"I'm sorry! We keep on bumping into each other though…" He smiled half-heartedly at me. "Are you ok?" He asked, as I stared at him, motionless.
"I-I guess. My head hurts but it'll be fine." I replied, my green eyes still on him. I don't care if I'm staring.
"Good…" he nodded and a small smile appeared on his face. "It's like…destiny that we keep bumping into each other." He mused, staring out of the window, a faraway look in his amber eyes. I blinked in surprise. He also believes in destiny!
"It's surprising…I thought I was the only person who believed in fate/destiny…" I stared at his shocked look.
"Same here, my family thinks people control themselves. I think…some force has planned out our future." He replied cleverly. I nodded along, wanting to know more about him.
"Um…want to tell me more about your-"
"Sakura!" A voice cried, interrupting me. I turned my head and saw a lady run towards me. I believe she's in her mid 30s…she looked blurry in the distance. I haven't gotten my glasses yet too… She threw her arms around me and almost cried. I blinked.
"Hello…do I know you?" I inquired. At this point, Syaoran mouthed 'Later' and slid out of the room, leaving me with this lady…who…looks exactly like my mom!
"Mother!" I hugged her back, tears emerging from my eyes. "I-I…"
"Hush child…" My mother soothed. "I'm…sorry. I'm not your mother darling. I'm your aunt…Sayuri Amamiya." The lady embraced me tighter, tears slowly sliding down her face.
"…Auntie?" I nodded, sobbing and mentally hit myself. I'm such a fool. I saw mother on her death bed, it's impossible for her to be living. The lady hushed me quietly and wiped my tears.
"It's nice to see you…my niece. I found out about your mother…I arrived in Japan one week ago, wanting to visit you and Nadeshiko. It appears I'm shamefully tardy." As we both stood in silence, stuck in an embrace, I felt like a part of my mother was alive.
"Happy late birthday" I murmured. Auntie Sayuri smiled down at me and our new beautiful relationship began.
As two weeks passed, I lived with my aunt in our house…the same one mother and I lived in. I grew close to aunt Sayuri. She was my second mother. My life has been a weird adventure. It's an epic story that I've established for 13 years…and I'm damn proud!
(At School)
"Hello Syaoran!" I waved cheerfully at him, catching his attention. He ran towards me. "Sakura, what's up?" He questioned sweetly. Over these past two weeks, Syaoran and I've grown close to each other. With his support, Veronica, Dana, Ricky, Katherine, Jamie, and Timmy are pretty much pathetic in my view. Syaoran was like…my hope…my faith that someday, I'll get my revenge from the in-crowd. Ok…that sounds a little bit lame but it's 100 true. After all the hell I've been through, I should repay the in-crowd back.
Syaoran and I walked together to first period, side by side, equal together. It felt so right and it was pure bliss. We seated ourselves right before the tardy bell rang. Our teacher walked in and sat down, beginning to talk.
"Good morning everyone. I'd like to make a few announcements." And there he goes with the eye contact before reading on.
"Several reports have been made to the office of boys walking in the girl's restroom. Sources say Syaoran Li started it" The teacher looked directly at Syaoran, making Syaoran laugh nervously.
"If you're buying lunch today, forget about it. We ran out of food and the company supplying us is being lazy and delaying us. Sources say we ran out of food by…Sakura Kinomoto?" The teacher quirked a stupid eyebrow at me! Students began their mocking laughter and I turned to Syaoran with wide eyes. He shrugged and mouthed 'Forget about it.'
"And last thing, Sakura Kinomoto will no longer attend this school. She will be here for tomorrow and that is it, now take out your homework."
Syaoran tapped me on the shoulder roughly.
"What the hell is that about? You never told me you were going somewhere else!" He exclaimed, purely shock and outraged.
"No, no! I don't know what is going on either…it must be a mistake!" I defended, dreading if it truly is the truth. Who decided I would leave…I can picture the in-crowd yet…do they have the power to do that? Evict me of this school? Actually…Jamie's father is the principal of Coral Junior High, also Coral High.
"Well…you live with your aunt now right?" Syaoran questioned, his brow furrowing together in a thinking manner. I nodded.
"True, true…do you think there is a possibility that my aunt arranged this?"
"Well…yes…possibly or Jamie and the others arranged it…" Syaoran vocalized. A sudden feeling crawled in my stomach. I hope this is all a really stupid misunderstood mistake. Through all my life, the only friend I had was my mother…if I somehow leave this school, I'll lose Syaoran…
"I don't want you to leave…" he whispered dejectedly. I'm touched…touched is a understatement.
"I don't want to leave either…" I returned, my mood just turned upside-down.
(After school)
"Auntie Sayuri, I'm home!" I called out, desperately needing my aunt.
"Welcome back Sakura, tell me about your day." She called back, her voice coming closer to me. Auntie came in the room carrying a box…of my clothes.
"W-what is that?" I gulped…I shouldn't make assumptions but I can't help it…
"This is a box of your clothes silly; we have today to pack everything." She replied, smiling warmly like nothing was unnatural.
"B-but…we're not moving right?!" I cried out, oh god…this is the house of where my family lived. This is the town where I met Syaoran. This is the country where I was born! My home is 8139 60th St. Tomoeda, Japan! Auntie Sayuri lost her smile, seeing me in despair.
"Oh…I apologize deeply, dear. I forgot to tell you…oh, I'm so sorry!" Auntie dropped the box and pulled me in a hug.
"It-it's ok…" So…this was the end? I'm moving…no more Syaoran.
"We're going to The States…" I mumbled to myself. Aunt Sayuri had a strange gleam in her emerald eyes and smiled softly.
"You may visit here when you are older, dear." She let go of me and smiled weakly.
"I hate confiscating you from your life…but I hate it even more leaving my 13 year old niece living by herself…not like it's legal." Auntie Sayuri cared for me…that is all that I care for.
"…Thank you for caring Auntie." I stared down to the ground, grateful. Auntie smiled and we both began packing our belongings in silence. We agreed to leave mother and father's possessions here. Whoever will live here can decide what to do with the objects. I couldn't bear taking them with me, along with the sweet memories of mother and father.
(Next Day)
I haven't seen Syaoran at first period…he's skipping again. I can't help but think…is he avoiding me? It's silly to assume so…but…I do. I stumbled around to 2nd Period, being giving my farewell shoves from my schoolmates. I didn't mind at all until I heard high heels clicking.
"Kinomoto…" a sly greeting came towards me. I sighed, turning around. But as I disappointedly turned around expecting Dana, my disappointment turned into a jolt.
"S-Syaoran…" My eyes widened as he fished something out of his pockets. It was a delicately wrapped pink box. A white ribbon was neatly tied at the top.
"I…I never got this close to someone before, Sakura. To be honest…you are my first true friend. Knowing you for these past 2 weeks and 2 days has been an honor. Sorry I skipped class again. I know you hate it when I do but I was hunting down a present as your farewell gift…" He flushed, Syaoran Li…cocky, arrogant, yet kind, funny, and idiotic. He was my cute imbecilic friend. I slowly took the pink box from him with a small smile.
"You know you didn't have-"
"But I wanted to." He chirped. I laughed and hugged him.
"Thank you…you are my true friend…no one has ever been this kind to me. I don't even have a gift for you…" I was almost in tears. I blinked my unshed tears out and smiled.
"Can I open it now?" I questioned, curious what he got me.
"Yeah you can…you've got the ability to but no you may not…" He chuckled. "Open it when your plane takes off for The States, ok?" I nodded to his request.
"Will you um…be able to see me off?" I blinked inquiringly.
"You know I will." He replied and that was all I needed to hear. My heart heats up…knowing I truly do have someone who cares besides my auntie. Somehow, him being a friend to me isn't all I want…I want him. But as you look at me, you will as I do doubt I have a chance with Syaoran Li. For now…I will settle and be grateful he and I have our special friendship.
(At Airport)
My heart sped rapidly as the clock moved closer to 6:00 P.M. We would take off then. But…Syaoran hasn't arrived yet. After school, I begged my aunt to help me buy Syaoran my farewell gift. 7 minutes later…Syaoran was still unseen. It was 5:48 now. 5:50…where is he?!
"Sakura!" I glanced into the crowd, seeing no one…maybe I imagined it.
"Sakura, I'm sorry I'm late!" The shout came again. This time, a breathless flushed Syaoran ran through the crowd, he stopped right before me with a small smile.
"Hi…" I muttered, examining him. I took his hand and linked it with a green small bag. "Happy farewell present" I smiled sheepishly as he arched a brow up in confusion.
"Thanks…can I look at it now?" He asked, obviously curious what I bought him. I smirked immorally.
"Yes you can, you have the ability to look at it. But you may not look at it until my plane takes off for The States." Oh, it felt so sweet to use his own words against him and see him gawk.
"Oh…ok." He laughed childishly. I glanced at the clock, 5:55.
"We have five more minutes Syaoran Li…" I mumbled intensely. Syaoran's amber eyes sparked.
"I'll miss you Sakura…but somehow, I know this isn't the last time we'll see each other…whether we like it or not," he smirked, going in his teasing mode.
"Yeah, yeah…" I shrugged, trying not to be too emotional. 5:58
"Time flies by when you want all the time you can get…and when you want it to fly, it'll stay there just for the spite of you." Syaoran laughed disappointedly as he stared at me…maybe more directly at my eyes.
"I like your eyes…" he mumbled. "My favorite color is green…" I remained silent as he observed my eyes and as I observed his eyes. They're so intense…hidden secrets are desolated. 6:00…!
"Passengers for flight 68, please come aboard." The announcer spoke to my dismay.
"That's me…" I croaked. Syaoran nodded seriously.
"We…will see each other again." He said, comfortingly. I nodded, speechless. How…do I say goodbye?
"Goodbye Sakura…you're a great friend. Don't ever let jerks bully you for your outer appearance." I looked at into his eyes for the final time.
"Yes…thank you. You're also a great friend…my friend. Steer clear of the in-crowd, boy. Be more social you hermit…that is my final wish." As I finished my last sentence, tears came out, oh joy…
"Goodbye…"He hugged me, I wrapped my arms around him.
"Sakura! Hurry, we'll miss our flight!" the voice of a hurried aunt Sayuri sounded out. Panic washed through my body.
"Love you…bye!" I broke out of our embrace and ran to our plane; Auntie Sayuri held my hand comfortingly.
(3rd Person)
"Love…me?" Syaoran muttered as he watched Sakura hold hands with her aunt and run aboard.
"Love you?!" Sakura angrily slapped herself. "Smart move Sakkie…now Syaoran thinks I like him…ugh!"
The plane began taking flight. 10

The plane was in the air, destination is The United States of America.
Syaoran stared at the green bag. He sat down on the ground, ignoring the stares and glares of people at the airport. He slowly looked in the bag and drew out a brown teddy bear. A scarlet ribbon was tied around its neck and a card was in its hand, sewn on. Syaoran opened the card wider out of curiosity.
"We're now divided…yet united." He read out loud, smiling after. He then blinked in surprise and muttered "Fate…" Syaoran held the bear closer and he reminisced of Sakura.
(On plane)
Sakura sighed dejectedly as she stared out the window; her aunt was sleeping so she was utterly bored and sad. But a sudden jolt entered her body and she smiled sadly. Her hand reached into her pockets and withdrew a pink box out. She slowly slid the lid off and stared inside at the breath taking jewelry. A pair of pink flowery earrings. A silver chained locket. And there was a tiny piece of paper, no doubt a small note. She opened it hastily, wondering what he wrote.
"Though we are divided…we are somehow united." She read out loud, shocked beyond belief.
"Fate…" she muttered and smirked at this ironical situation.
Blue Icy – Hiyo! I'd like to apologize if I made any more typos; I'm too lazy and tired to check. I've been working on this for hours and relieved that I'm finally done. If someone thinks the whole scene at the airport is corny, suck it up. ) If you enjoyed it, yay!

Thanks a lot to you all who took the time to review. It means a LOT to me. To be honest, I wouldn't have updated if I didn't get this much reviews. Again, THANK YOU!
And yes its true- Dana De Birdie is the real Dana Law. I also used her in my other fic called Pure Bliss.
Expect a next update in a few days or so. I'll try to finish most of my homework at school and type more at home. Thank you for reading, Blue Icy signing off, not caring about typos and grammar )
At times…I felt like crawling under a rock and maybe…die. Suicide was tempting at times but…I want to live and die normally. No, I don't want Dana to kill me, that's unnatural. Back to the crawling under a rock and dying thing, this is the exact moment I wanted to hide forever.
I walked down the halls which seemed to never end. My destination was the office…of doom! Students made an isle and watched me quietly, dark eyes leered me. But I held my head up high and walked faster…until I heard a shout which sent chills down my spine.
"Kinomoto! Hurry, hurry! My grandmother walks faster than you!" I turned my head to the right and the desire for a shovel emerged. I ignored Dana's shameless assaults on my weight. Yes, I am an obese girl. I ate a lot when I was a child, we all did. But as most kids grew, they ate less. To my left, Veronica stood. I caught only a small glimpse of her. A scathing glare was on her perfect face with massive make up.
"Just because the whole school is here watching you walk doesn't mean you are popular you-you chunky, fleshy deadbeat!" She spat at me and blended into the crowd once more.
"Does someone think they're popular here?" She hissed, I pretended to ignore her being an outcast hurt me deeply…what is she up to? Veronica followed me along the isle. I glared at her and walked faster, almost running. I suddenly halted as a foot stuck out, attempting to trip me. I stared at the owner of the foot. It was Katherine.
"You've got some big feet Katherine. Be careful, you could have tripped me with your clown feet!" I muttered angrily. Katherine was the most stupid girl in the school so she was the only one I fought back with. She's only popular because she's pretty. This is where I started running.
"I have small feet, Loser! I'm size 6! Gosh!" Katherine yelled after me. I began running. I shouldn't pick a fight with them…I ran as fast as I could but soon, I collided with someone. I dropped and was sprawled on the floor, my head…it hurts even more than yesterday. I looked up and caught a glimpse of two shocked burnt sienna orbs. That was the last thing I saw…
"Young man, I have a feeling you knock her out and carry her here now!" A joking voice said.
"B-b-but it was accident…I…err, is she going to wake up soon?" Was that…Syaoran? I slowly opened my eyes and blinked. As usual, mahogany eyes bore into mine.
"Syaoran…" I muttered as I sat up from the hard bed. My head…it felt like Dana threw bricks at me continuously.
"I'm sorry! We keep on bumping into each other though…" He smiled half-heartedly at me. "Are you ok?" He asked, as I stared at him, motionless.
"I-I guess. My head hurts but it'll be fine." I replied, my green eyes still on him. I don't care if I'm staring.
"Good…" he nodded and a small smile appeared on his face. "It's like…destiny that we keep bumping into each other." He mused, staring out of the window, a faraway look in his amber eyes. I blinked in surprise. He also believes in destiny!

"Um…want to tell me more about your-"
"Sakura!" A voice cried, interrupting me. I turned my head and saw a lady run towards me. I believe she's in her mid 30s…she looked blurry in the distance. I haven't gotten my glasses yet too… She threw her arms around me and almost cried. I blinked.
"Hello…do I know you?" I inquired. At this point, Syaoran mouthed 'Later' and slid out of the room, leaving me with this lady…who…looks exactly like my mom!
"Mother!" I hugged her back, tears emerging from my eyes. "I-I…"
"Hush child…" My mother soothed. "I'm…sorry. I'm not your mother darling. I'm your aunt…Sayuri Amamiya." The lady embraced me tighter, tears slowly sliding down her face.

"Hello Syaoran!" I waved cheerfully at him, catching his attention. He ran towards me. "Sakura, what's up?" He questioned sweetly. Over these past two weeks, Syaoran and I've grown close to each other. With his support, Veronica, Dana, Ricky, Katherine, Jamie, and Timmy are pretty much pathetic in my view. Syaoran was like…my hope…my faith that someday, I'll get my revenge from the in-crowd. Ok…that sounds a little bit lame but it's 100 true. After all the hell I've been through, I should repay the in-crowd back.
Syaoran and I walked together to first period, side by side, equal together. It felt so right and it was pure bliss. We seated ourselves right before the tardy bell rang. Our teacher walked in and sat down, beginning to talk.
"Good morning everyone. I'd like to make a few announcements." And there he goes with the eye contact before reading on.
"Several reports have been made to the office of boys walking in the girl's restroom. Sources say Syaoran Li started it" The teacher looked directly at Syaoran, making Syaoran laugh nervously.
"If you're buying lunch today, forget about it. We ran out of food and the company supplying us is being lazy and delaying us. Sources say we ran out of food by…Sakura Kinomoto?"

"True, true…do you think there is a possibility that my aunt arranged this?"

(Next Day)
I haven't seen Syaoran at first period…he's skipping again. I can't help but think…is he avoiding me? It's silly to assume so…but…I do. I stumbled around to 2nd Period, being giving my farewell shoves from my schoolmates. I didn't mind at all until I heard high heels clicking.
"Kinomoto…" a sly greeting came towards me. I sighed, turning around. But as I disappointedly turned around expecting Dana, my disappointment turned into a jolt.
"S-Syaoran…" My eyes widened as he fished something out of his pockets. It was a delicately wrapped pink box. A white ribbon was neatly tied at the top.
"I…I never got this close to someone before, Sakura. To be honest…you are my first true friend. Knowing you for these past 2 weeks and 2 days has been an honor. Sorry I skipped class again. I know you hate it when I do but I was hunting down a present as your farewell gift…" He flushed, Syaoran Li…cocky, arrogant, yet kind, funny, and idiotic. He was my cute imbecilic friend. I slowly took the pink box from him with a small smile.
"You know you didn't have-"
"But I wanted to." He chirped. I laughed and hugged him.

"Oh…ok." He laughed childishly. I glanced at the clock, 5:55.
"We have five more minutes Syaoran Li…" I mumbled intensely. Syaoran's amber eyes sparked.
"I'll miss you Sakura…but somehow, I know this isn't the last time we'll see each other…whether we like it or not," he smirked, going in his teasing mode.
"Yeah, yeah…" I shrugged, trying not to be too emotional. 5:58
"Time flies by when you want all the time you can get…and when you want it to fly, it'll stay there just for the spite of you." Syaoran laughed disappointedly as he stared at me…maybe more directly at my eyes.
"I like your eyes…" he mumbled. "My favorite color is green…" I remained silent as he observed my eyes and as I observed his eyes. They're so intense…hidden secrets are desolated. 6:00…!
"Passengers for flight 68, please come aboard." The announcer spoke to my dismay.
"That's me…" I croaked. Syaoran nodded seriously.
"We…will see each other again." He said, comfortingly. I nodded, speechless. How…do I say goodbye?
"Goodbye Sakura…you're a great friend. Don't ever let jerks bully you for your outer appearance." I looked at into his eyes for the final time.
"Yes…thank you. You're also a great friend…my friend. Steer clear of the in-crowd, boy. Be more social you hermit…that is my final wish." As I finished my last sentence, tears came out, oh joy…
"Goodbye…"He hugged me, I wrapped my arms around him.
"Sakura! Hurry, we'll miss our flight!" the voice of a hurried aunt Sayuri sounded out. Panic washed through my body.
"Love you…bye!" I broke out of our embrace and ran to our plane; Auntie Sayuri held my hand comfortingly.
(3rd Person)
"Love…me?" Syaoran muttered as he watched Sakura hold hands with her aunt and run aboard.
"Love you?!" Sakura angrily slapped herself. "Smart move Sakkie…now Syaoran thinks I like him…ugh!"
The plane began taking flight. 10

The plane was in the air, destination is The United States of America.
Syaoran stared at the green bag. He sat down on the ground, ignoring the stares and glares of people at the airport. He slowly looked in the bag and drew out a brown teddy bear. A scarlet ribbon was tied around its neck and a card was in its hand, sewn on. Syaoran opened the card wider out of curiosity.
"We're now divided…yet united." He read out loud, smiling after. He then blinked in surprise and muttered "Fate…" Syaoran held the bear closer and he reminisced of Sakura.
(On plane)
Sakura sighed dejectedly as she stared out the window; her aunt was sleeping so she was utterly bored and sad. But a sudden jolt entered her body and she smiled sadly. Her hand reached into her pockets and withdrew a pink box out. She slowly slid the lid off and stared inside at the breath taking jewelry. A pair of pink flowery earrings. A silver chained locket. And there was a tiny piece of paper, no doubt a small note. She opened it hastily, wondering what he wrote.
"Though we are divided…we are somehow united." She read out loud, shocked beyond belief.
"Fate…" she muttered and smirked at this ironical situation.
Blue Icy – Hiyo! I'd like to apologize if I made any more typos; I'm too lazy and tired to check. I've been working on this for hours and relieved that I'm finally done. If someone thinks the whole scene at the airport is corny, suck it up. ) If you enjoyed it, yay!

Thanks a lot to you all who took the time to review. It means a LOT to me. To be honest, I wouldn't have updated if I didn't get this much reviews. Again, THANK YOU!
And yes its true- Dana De Birdie is the real Dana Law. I also used her in my other fic called Pure Bliss.
Expect a next update in a few days or so. I'll try to finish most of my homework at school and type more at home. Thank you for reading, Blue Icy signing off, not caring about typos and grammar )
