First Love
Chapter 2: Once Again
"HOOOEEE!!!" a loud scream rang out. (P/N: I almost typed stream… LOL! a loud stream!? HAHA!! . Kero: Erm, Phoenix, you're disturbing… . P/N: Oh. I'm sorry! Forget that I said that.. LOL.)
"Well, well, well… there she goes again. No wonder Mr Akira next door said there's a free alarm clock for him every morning. (P/N: I know I know.. I'm corky. Muahaha!) Touya said as he finished up his breakfast. There were loud bangings from upstairs as Fujitaka and Touya exchanged knowing glances.
"Dad! Onii-san! Why didn't you wake me up?! I am so dead!" Sakura complained as she gulped down a cup of orange juice. (P/N: I like to gulp down things a lot don't I? The truth is, I'm always doing that.)
"Oh. Does our little kaijuu want some cold water in her bed every morning? I'd be glad to do that…." Touya said with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Onii-san! I'm not a kaijuu! And I think I can wake up on my own." Sakura glared at him and dashed to school after giving Fujitaka a peck on the cheek.
"Touya… I think she forgot her glasses." Fujitaka said as saw a pair of thck scientist-glasses on the dining table.
"… WHAT?! I'M BRINGING IT TO HER!" Touya shouted, and followed his sister out the door.
Fujitaka chuckled, and said, "My dear children. I'm sure Nadeshiko will be proud of them." I miss you so much, my dear wife… He said to himself as he thought about his deceased wife.
- Flashback -
"Nadeshiko., Don't leave me. Please. I love you so much.." a tearful Fujitaka muttered to his sickly wife who's lying on the bed, awaiting death.
"My dear, please, don't cry. I may be gone from earth, but I will always be with you. You must be strong." Nadeshiko said weakly, her eyes barely open. Her face was pale and she looked frail.
"Mo-mommy. I will take care of daddy and Sakura. I promise you." Little Touya said. Although he was only 10 years old, he was a strong boy.
"My good boy. I'm sure you'll grow up to become a rather good young man. I have faith in you. And you, my cherry blossom." Nadeshiko looked down at the 3-year-old little girl standing beside her brother. The little girl just smiled sweetly and hugged her brother tightly.
"Nadeshiko… I love you. And I promise you that I will never cry no more." Nadeshiko nodded, and her emerald eyes fluttered close. She was dead. "Rest in peace, my beautiful wife…" Fujitaka shut his eyes and let his tears flow inside.
- End of Flashback -
"Now, off to work!" Fujitaka said as he picked up his suitcase, and climbed into his car.
Don't worry, Mr Kinomoto. I will take good care of Sakura when she knows the truth. It will be revealed soon, sooner than you think. Kero thought as he watched Fujitaka's car drive away.
- With Syaoran -
"Wei, am I late again?" Syaoran asked his guardian while keeping his long sword away.
Wei has been taking care of Syaoran ever since he was born. His father had died in a plane crash when he was only 5 years old and his mother, Li Yelan was too busy with the family's business to take care of him.
"Yes, Master Syaoran. It is already 8.15am. Master Eriol had called to inform you that he will not be waiting for you today." Wei replied , passing Syaoran a towel.
"Thank you, Wei. Bye." Syaoran said as he left the house, on the way to school. I hope she will be late again today. Oh god! What am I thinking? He blushed as he thought of Sakura's beautiful emerald eyes.
- In The Train -
It's the next stop isn't it? I really hope to see her… Oh man, I don't think so… how can she be late for school everyday? Syaoran thought as he nervously scratched the back of his neck. (P/N: Just for your information, Syaoran always does that when he's nervous. In my story I meant. )
Just as he was calming himself down, the doors flew open, and an auburn waistlength-haired girl with beautiful emerald eyes walked in. SAKURA! She's here! Just infront of me! Oh my, what an angel, she isn't wearing her glasses today, and she let her hair down! Wait a minute… who's that?
"Kaijuu! I told you to slow down. Didn't you hear me?!" Touya was gasping for breath as he caught up with Sakura. Looking around, he saw an empty seat beside Syaoran, and pushed her down on it.
Who is he to speak to my Sakura like that?! NO! He's not her boyfriend… is he? Syaoran thought as he felt his face boiling with anger. He was currently covering his face with a book, glancing sideways to look at Sakura.
"Touya! Stop bossing me around! And please, pass me my glasses. I'm not going to school like that." Sakura said as she held out her hand, waiting for Touya to pass her her glasses.
"Baka." Touya said as he helped Sakura put on her glasses, and chuckled. "Now, you really do look like a kaijuu." He said, ruffling Sakura's soft and silky hair.
"It's you and Fujitaka who wanted me to wear this. It's not as if I like it anyways. And stop calling me kaijuu!" Sakura glared at Touya.
Syaoran couldn't take it anymore. "Yea! Stop it if she doesn't like it." Syaoran muttered, but loud enough for Sakura and Touya to hear.
"What is it with you, gaki. And don't you dare look at my s-" Touya said, but Sakura cut him off when she saw Syaoran.
"SYAORAN?!" she shouted, a little too loudly. People all around the cabin were starting to whisper.
"Syaoran? That Syaoran Li? Oh my… he's so hot!"
"Yea, wow. Syaoran Li, on a train!"
"Is he really?"
"Oh my god! I'm on the same train as Li Syaoran!"
"Freak! Do you have a camera daddy?"
"Doesn't he have a chauffer or something?"
"Who's that nerd beside him? She thinks too highly of herself!"
Angrily, Syaoran shouted, "SHUT UP!"
"Wha… What is this? Who-who are you?" Sakura asked as she noticed his attention.
Syaoran blushed, but said nothing. He felt stupid and wanted to run out of the train to stop all the humiliation.
"Sakura-chan. Look at this." Tomoyo had just walked into the train, a magazine in her hands. She had seen the fuss in the train and Syaoran sitting just beside her.
Sakura took the magazine from Tomoyo, and stared, dumbfounded.
On the cover of the magazine was a familiar looking handsome boy with messy chestnut hair. His intense amber eyes made Sakura's heart skip a bit. And she read to herself, The Most Wanted Bachelor, Li Syaoran, Heir of the Li Corporations. These words were printed in bold on the coverpage.
"Hoe! Heir of the Li Corps! YOU!?" Sakura stared wide-eyed at Syaoran, as he nodded with dot eyes. He was as red as a human-tomato.
"Get away from Sakura, you Chinese gaki!" Touya shouted. He was angry that Sakura was getting the attention.
"Who are YOU to tell me that?! How are you related to her!?" Syaoran blurted. By the time he found out what he was saying, Everyone was staring at the commotion between him and Touya.
"I-AM-HER-BROTHER. What do you want!?" a furious Touya bellowed.
"HOEE! Stop it! You've reached your stop onii-san, Get out, get out!" Sakura said, pushing her brother out of the doors.
"But .. kaijuu.. THAT GAKI IS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF – " Touya was arguing, but cut off as the doors closed, amd the train moved, leaving behind an angry Touya Kinomoto.
There was absolute silence for a moment, until a feet of giggles broke it.
"Tomoyo-chan! What's so funny? It's so embarrassing!" Sakura wailed as she covered her face with both her hands.
"Giggles… It's nothing Sakura, it's just that, Touya looked really funny when he was bickering with… OH MY! SYAORAN LI!" Tomoyo turned and remembered Syaoran's existance. She took out her video camera and started taping Syaoran, who was turning bright-red from all the attention.
"To-Tomoyo-chan…" Sakura sweat-dropped and fell.
- In Class, again… -
"Really?! Your brother argued with the Li Prince?! Oh my…" Rika was saying. Tomoyo had told them about the Touya-Syaoran incident ever since they reached school.
Feeling embarrassed, Sakura had kept quiet throughout. She knew all the gazes were on her.
"Hai! And I think that Syaoran is interested in Sakura-chan! He turned into a human-tomato when he looked at her!" Tomoyo exaggerated.
"KAWAII!!" almost all the girls in class shouted. Of course, the boys grunted when they heard the exaggerating news.
"It's not surprising, you know. Sakura is our school's belle! All the guys like her! But too bad, Sakura's taken by the famous LI SYAORAN!" Chiharu exclaimed, loudly enough for the guys to hear.
Sakura could feel angry eyes glaring at her, from the guys of course.
"Ho-Hoee.. Tomoyo-chan… Chiharu-chan.. please stop making things worse…" Sakura blushed. But she was thinking really hard. Am I falling for Syaoran? Oh my… his amber eyes…
- Meanwhile -
"Syaoran, what's wrong with you?" Eriol asked when he saw him staring out of the window gloomily.
"It's Li for you, Eriol. And nothing's wrong with me." Syaoran said, not bothering to look at Eriol.
"Look, buddy, I'm just concerned. What happened? I might be able to help." Eriol replied, feeling a bit annoyed towards Syaoran's attitude.
"Yea, cool dude. It's love, isn't it?" Takashi Yamazaki, one of Syaoran's best friends asked.
"Actually, I don't know. I'm kinda confused." Syaoran replied. His eyes softening for the first time.
"Who's that lucky girl?" Takasi asked, trying to make Syaoran confess.
"Sakura. From Suzukino High. (P/N: Hey… I merely made up a name out of nowhere. Don't blame me if it sounds funny k? lol.) He said as he remembered her beautiful emerald eyes and long, silky auburn hair. "She's an angel.."
Takashi stayed quiet for a moment. Then, with huge shocked eyes, he asked. "Sakura Kinomoto?"
"How… How'd you know?" Syaoran asked, finally facing his friends.
"Well, almost everybody except for you know. She's the school's belle. Many of the boys from our school had asked her to go out with them. One even followed her to the girls' restroom! But all of them got a kick on their ass. That chick is difficult, buddy." Takashi warned Syaoran.
Eriol then understood. "That nerd, you mean…" Syaoran glared at him.
Takashi laughed. "So it's true, huh? The guys told me that she's been dressing up really badly to make the guys stop asking her out." He said.
"Li, let's go check her out after school today. How about that?" Eriol asked. Syaoran did not reply, and he continued, "You're not scared are you?" Takashi laughed at these words.
Syaoran immediately blushed. "Of-of course I'm not! It's a deal." He said as he coolly walked out of the classroom, blushing madly. Yes. I get to see her again.
"Well, he's serious this time, isn't he?" Takashi asked.
Eriol nodded. For all he knew, Syaoran has never laid an eye on any girls. Except for Karla, maybe. "He is. And I'm helping him. As a buddy."
"Yea, me too." Takashi agreed.
