DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN CCS. CLAMP DOES.
Chapter 9: Visit
It was twelve o'clock in the midnight and at that time and I'm still awake. I seem can't take my mind off on what had Li told me earlier. I can't believe his sister could do that. She must be so heartless to tell to her brother face-to-face she hated him. I don't know why but as I listen to him I felt like I wanted to cry and hug him and tell him that I... I... What do I want to tell him? I'll be there for him? That is...just like taken from a sappy movie. I shouldn't be acting like this. I just met the guy and he would be giving up on me soon.
I looked at the mansion in front of me and saw a light in the second floor window. I saw a silhouette of Li as he stood by the window and looked at the sky. He doesn't seem to notice me. I watched him as the moonlight bathed his face. His whole face changed as he looked at the sky. His amber eyes softened and stopped its mysterious look he frequently gave me. The way his face shone made him look like an angel. Angel...he looks like the angel in my dreams. Come to think of it they both act the same. They are always there when I needed them. Just like last night. I wonder how he found me? I felt something inside me crushed at the idea of Li leaving me. Why Li, why are you doing this to me?
If I stayed a bit longer I would see him looking at me as if he knows I've been watching him but I didn't. Instead I decided to go to bed for my head started to throb.
Monday, I decided to go to school today. I know I told Li I would accompany him to his sister today but he said he's going to pick me up this afternoon and that leave me some time to dillydally. Besides, I need to calm my nerves before I meet Li. Being with Li makes my mind go haywire and I don't want that to happen again. I am cool and composed when meeting with someone but from the moment I met him...everything changes. Maybe I could ditch him by not showing up. Hmmm... I can't do that because he seems to show up wherever I hide.
Large buildings greeted me the moment I entered the facility. Different styles and colors could be seen from different students. Everyone here at Tomoeda University act as if nothing bad had happened to me. Every smiles and hellos that greeted me are just thrown back to them. I just walked passed to them as if they didn't exist. At first they scrutinized me with confused looks but when I didn't bothered to talk to them slowly one-by-one they left me with confusion in their eyes. Talking to them is pointless. I just stared at the blue sky outside and waited for the time to pass by.
I am so glad Tomoyo have no classes today because I still don't know what to do when I saw her again. If I could just turn back time, I would take the hurtful words I told her. Instead I would just lock myself in my room and never come out till this nightmare end but...is there really hope in this hell as what Li had said and if there is what would that be?
"So you're going to visit Meiling today. Good because I can't seem to go to her today because I am going somewhere." A deep voice said at the other line of the phone. Syaoran is sitting at the desk full of papers while looking outside the window.
"Huh? Where?"
"Modeling Agency. I'm accompanying a friend of mine."
"Your girlfriend?" Syaoran teased the man on the other line.
"She...is not my girlfriend." An annoyed voice came through the line.
"Well if she is not your girlfriend, then why are you accompanying her? Surely, she can go to that place without your help." Syaoran smirked, as he knows he is annoying the man on the other line at each passing moment.
"You don't know anything. She needs me right now." The man on the other line became quiet. "Hey, I heard from Shiefa that you are seeing someone in there. Mysterious woman coz' Shiefa is not telling me anything about her." Syaoran blushed at Eriol's statement.
"Why do you care?"
"Why would I miss this event in your life? The event where a big change happens to you my cute cousin, you usually don't like to hang around women nor follow them around but now I'm glad you're not queer." The man laughed at what he said.
"Haha...very funny." Syaoran said sarcastically. "She is different from all the girls in Hong Kong. I don't know but I always want to be right there beside her. Maybe I'm crazy..." Syaoran was cut off from what he is saying.
"If you're crazy then I too must be crazy for loving Tomoyo even though..."
"Tomoyo?" Syaoran was shocked at what did his cousin said.
"Yeah, Tomoyo Daidouji. Why you know her?"
"Can you introduce me to her. I need to see her?" Syaoran said in a serious voice.
"What!" his cousin became angry at what Syaoran said. Syaoran seemed to get what was running at his cousin's mind.
"It's not what you think. I would just like to talk to her because she might help my friend."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Can you meet me at the agency this 10:00?" Syaoran looked at the clocked and it read 9:30. "Don't worry it's just at the next street from your office." His cousin said in a reassuring voice. Syaoran just dropped by on the company, which his family owned at that day, just to see and meet the employees that he is going to handle.
"Thanks Eriol."
"No problem. Bye."
Every now and then Eriol kept on checking his watch. It was 10:15 and Syaoran has still hasn't arrived.
"Is your cousin really going to come?" Tomoyo said as she clutch a sketchpad in her chest.
"I don't know maybe he got lost." Eriol turned to reply Tomoyo.
"I wouldn't count for that." A deep voice said behind Eriol. Eriol turned around to greet his cousin. "For once you are late."
"Well I have to drop off somewhere. So is this the lady you're always telling me?" Syaoran said as he pointed to Tomoyo. Eriol blushed beet red and introduced Tomoyo to Syaoran.
"Your cousin said that you wanted to talk to me?" Tomoyo said as she got to her point. Syaoran wasn't sure whether to tell her right now as his gaze shift uncomfortably from Eriol to her. Tomoyo seemed to get the message. "Eriol I seem to forgot my sketches at my office would you get it for me." Eriol raised his eyebrow at Tomoyo then to Syaoran then he went to Tomoyo's office.
"I'm sorry you have to do that." Syaoran said as his gaze went to Eriol then back to Tomoyo. "From what I'm about to tell you might be angry at me from meddling into your lives but for me I am willing to take all the chances just for her." Tomoyo's face scrunched up in confusion. "I met your friend, Sakura, and from what I have seen she is suffering from the guilt and sadness she had done to a special friend." Tomoyo is speechless as to how much did he know about the situation. "I know she said hurtful words to you but the truth is they are just empty words that doesn't mean a thing. Could you take some time to talk her? I know I have no right to do this but Sakura needs you more than ever." Tomoyo closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled deeply.
"I really like to believe you but how can you expect me to forget all of the things she said to me?"
"A true friend forgives and understands each other. They stick to each other thru thick or thin and you know what that's what you are." Tomoyo was silent for a moment as she gaze into his eyes to search some hints of lies.
"You have a point in there. Okay..." Syaoran's face broke into a smile.
"I have to go, Sakura might be thinking of ditching me right now. Eriol sure is taking his time." Just then Eriol came in with an envelope in his hands.
"Leaving?" Eriol asked
"Yeah. Hey why don't you visit our house sometime and you too Daidouji- san?"
"That would be nice." Eriol said. Syaoran was about to go when Tomoyo stopped him.
"Thank you and take care of her for me while I'm not around." Syaoran smiled at her and nodded.
My classes ended early this day because of some fair. It was already 1:00 in the afternoon and I'm about to go home when I saw Syaoran waiting for me outside the gate wearing a green polo shirt and black pants. A lot of girls are flocking around him but he doesn't really notice them as his gaze is fixed on mine. I seemed to freeze on that spot the moment I saw him. I was about to go to him and ask him why is he here when I felt the world is spinning around me. I tried to brush it off but it seems it wouldn't budge. Just a slight movement of my head feels like a nail is put into my head. I was about to collapse when a strong pair of arms caught me. I looked up and saw a pair of amber eyes looking at me with fear and concern written all over him. Who is he again? I seem to forget because of the pain in my head.
"Sakura...okay...take...hospital..." those are the only words I caught up for the rest seem fuzzy. The moment I heard the word hospital I began to panic.
"No. I will not go back to that place."
"But Sakura..." I let him call me Sakura for it seems right. Wait...that smell seems familiar. It smells like cinnamon with a tinge of chocolate. Where have I... That night at the bridge when Li held he too smelled like that. I looked at his eyes and my suspicions were true. It is Li that is holding me right now. This is not good. I shook my head to try to brush the pain away and guess what it works...a little.
"I am not yet dying so what's the point of going in that hell?" I said as I pulled away from his embrace. I looked around and saw as students passed us by. Well if you saw us you would think we are just like two people who just met after all these years. That scenario is not new in this school. However, when I looked behind Li I saw the jealous stares that the girls were giving me. I gave them a cold glare and they just began to run like there is a killer chasing them. Li didn't noticed what I just did because he seems to be thinking of something.
"Maybe I should take you home...I think it is a bad idea to go to Meiling right now..." Syaoran said in an uncertain voice as worry is written on his face. I can't show him that I am weak and helpless just because of my condition. I wanted to show him that I could live a normal life without those medicines and doctors.
"Really I'm fine and stop worrying about me you act like some freaking boyfriend of mine." That wasn't supposed to come out but...I was really annoyed and...I lost my temper. I looked at him and saw a pained and shock expression written on his handsome face. This is it, he's going to turn around and leave. Leave and hate me for good. Maybe even forget that he used to try to befriend a cruel person. I felt something inside me break and every breath I take seem painful. I bit my lips very hard just to keep myself from crying as he lowered his eyes to the ground.
Author's note:
Should I stop in here? Hmmm...I am feeling so lazy right now so maybe I should stop. It may take some weeks to finish another chapter.
Do you think I'm evil? If the answer is yes then don't read what happened next. Dude, I'm just pulling your leg.
### "Your right, I act like a boyfriend earlier. I'm sorry. I forgot how frustrating it feels to have someone act like that. I don't know what came over me I just lost my head when I saw you looking like your going to faint." Li said as he looked away.
"If you're going to go right now do it. I don't care because...because I don't need friends nor you anyway." Li looked at me immediately with confusion written on face. Then his face changed to something like he just discovered gold.
"Where did you get that idea? It would take more than that to make me go." He said seriously and because of what he said brought relief to my senses. I don't want him to know that I'm happy he's not leaving me because he might know that I already trust him and treat him like a friend.
"Anyway, I am really fine maybe the weather is too hot." The way I said it was just like I'm talking about the weather. There is no hint of emotion in it. Why can't I show a little happiness? "I'll just take some aspirin and cool off." I tried it again but it is still the same. Come to think of it I feel a little bit fine. Li looked uncertain about it. "Besides, it's your sister's birthday. We don't want to disappoint her, do we?" That was my pride talking. I want to go home and rest but I don't want him to think I'm a weakling. I don't know why I wanted to prove to him I'm fine and dandy.
"I don't know."
I am now starting to regret I opened my big mouth because of my pride. I can't believe I urged Li to accompany him at his sister's place. I mean I should agree with him at the first place to go home but nooo my freaking pride butt in and took over my mouth. Before I knew it, here I am standing at the front door of Meiling's apartment with Li beside me holding a box of chocolate cake. The place needs renovation because of the faded green paint and cracks on the wall, and worn out poles. Syaoran pushed the doorbell. Within the minute nobody opened nor answered the door. Once again Syaoran pushed the doorbell and still no answer. I'm beginning to think that nobody is home and was just wasting our time standing in here looking like idiots.
"Great nobody is home, let's go." I turned around ready to leave when Li stopped me.
"Wait, just one more time and if nobody answers it then we leave."
"You are one stubborn man." I glared at him and returned at my usual place. Li pressed the doorbell for the third time. "I tell you there is no one going to..." I stopped because there was a click at the other side of the door. A woman dressed in jeans and black tank top greeted us with a death glare in her eyes. She has a black hair that reached to her knees and has eyes like Li, fiery amber.
"Who the heck are you?" she spat angrily. Her gaze moved to Li and her eyes went wide then turned to angry slits. "Well if it isn't my perfect brother." She said with sarcasm. "What brought you to this dumpster? Wait, don't tell me our weak mom made you come here."
"I came here on my own." I saw Li's jaw tensed up. "Happy birthday sis." He said as he showed her the cake he bought for her. Meiling just stared at the cake blankly then shut the door in our face. Li looked shocked at what she did and that irritate me. I banged on the door and Meiling came out once more.
"Go away." Meiling was about to close the door when I stopped her.
"That's not a good way to treat your guest." I said to her coldly. I was so angry at what she did that I want to punch her in the face but I restrained myself from doing so. "What is it to you, your just Syaoran's wanna be girlfriend." She said to me tauntingly. I was about to insult her more when Li's voice stopped me.
"She is Sakura my friend and she is not a wanna be like those girls at HK. By the way, we just moved here in Japan so now you must expect a daily visit from us. Here is the cake I brought you. It's your favorite." Li said calmly but if you look at him closely he is starting to lose his patience.
"If that's the case, expect a close door on your face because I'm not going to entertain you weaklings. As for the cake, you can give it to her." That's the last straw. Her insults to Li and me had to end. She is really cold and heartless.
"No we bought it for you." Syaoran pulled a letter in his pocket. "I almost forgot, this is from Shou An." Meiling's eyes flickered for a second then her eyes turned cold one's more.
"Go away and leave me alone."
"Fine...if that's what you want." I said angrily. I turned to Syaoran. "Let's go home because coming here is a mistake. A big mistake." Just then Meiling raised her hand to slap me.
Author's note
Wow cliffhanger. I know how much you hate these things but it must be done.
MEILING FANS OUT THERE: I'M SORRY SHE'S SO MEAN AT THIS STORY. DON'T BE MAD BECAUSE SHE PLAYS A MAJOR PART IN HELPING SAKURA OUT. IN SHORT SHE IS NOT A VILLAIN.
What do you think will happen next? Sakura and Meiling would have a catfight. Syaoran will stop Meiling Sakura will not be slapped. Syaoran will give Meiling a chocolate and she will say Thank you Syaoran. I love you.
Sai-chan: Hope you like it! Tnx 4 reviewing. Wake-robin: I got a feeling that your wish would come true soon. Sally: You would be receiving a good gift from me since your review made me happy. Sweet-captor: Aww shucks I thought I was me. Just joking. Hanajima: Hmmm...since there are so many of you that keep on requesting that...well let's just see. Carzygurl: tnx for the cinnamon. AnimeObssessionFantasy: Tnx again. Xxx.

"No we bought it for you." Syaoran pulled a letter in his pocket. "I almost forgot, this is from Shou An." Meiling's eyes flickered for a second then her eyes turned cold one's more.
"Go away and leave me alone."
"Fine...if that's what you want." I said angrily. I turned to Syaoran. "Let's go home because coming here is a mistake. A big mistake." Just then Meiling raised her hand to slap me.
Author's note
Wow cliffhanger. I know how much you hate these things but it must be done.
MEILING FANS OUT THERE: I'M SORRY SHE'S SO MEAN AT THIS STORY. DON'T BE MAD BECAUSE SHE PLAYS A MAJOR PART IN HELPING SAKURA OUT. IN SHORT SHE IS NOT A VILLAIN.
What do you think will happen next? Sakura and Meiling would have a catfight. Syaoran will stop Meiling Sakura will not be slapped. Syaoran will give Meiling a chocolate and she will say Thank you Syaoran. I love you.
