Chapter 11:
Lies and Love

It began snowing, as Syaoran walked past a comic book store. It was about nine, Syaoran had been walking for a long time not feeling the cold, all he could hear was his thoughts. Syaoran saw a couple walking past hand in hand smiling and talking. They looked like then came from dinner or something.

Syaoran began to think what was the truth about the murder of his family. Syaoran finally got to the park. Syaoran sat on a bench and began reading his Father's journal. Syaoran didn't care what time it was. Syaoran almost fell asleep reading the book but he felt something brush his leg. Syaoran looked down and saw a Russian blue kitten half covered in snow. "What?" Syaoran said. The cat looked at Syaoran with his Ice blue eyes. "I don't have any food, leave me along," Syaoran said going back to his reading. The cat jumped on Syaoran's lap purring and rubbing it's head on his chest. Syaoran looked down and began to think.

He never had a pet, except the time when he was three and he had ten Japanese gold fish, but then died in like a month. Syaoran smiled a little and rubbed it's head. "Are you a boy cat or a girl cat?" Syaoran asked the cat. The cat sat on his lap and looked up at him. "Girl?" Syaoran said again. The cat looked at him funny. "Cool your a boy cat," Syaoran said. "Where you always, along?" Syaoran asked putting the book and his pocket. The cat looked at his with said eyes. "I see," Syaoran said sadly.

"Do you have a name?" Syaoran asked. The cat still had that sad looked. Syaoran looked at his paw, it had a little burn on it. "People are cold aren't they?" Syaoran said toughing his paw. The cat hissed at him. "Sorry, let me heal you." Syaoran said making his hand glow green with his aura. Syaoran toughed the cat's hurt paw and glowed green being healed of everything he had. The cat looked at him purring. Syaoran smiled. "Sorry, I surprised you," He said.

Syaoran finally felt the cold tough him. Syaoran rubbed his arm to bring some warmth. "Why don't I take you home with me," He said. The cat looked like it was smiling at him. Syaoran rubbed his head. The cat jumped off Syaoran's lap and to the snowy ground. Syaoran stopped. "Wait I have to give you a name," Syaoran said. The cat sat and waited. Syaoran was trying to thinking of a name that would suit a boy cat. "Let's see how about....Cha?" Syaoran said looking down at the cat. The cat gave him a weird look. "Don't like that huh? How about Ki?" He said. The cat looked at him happily.

"It means life energy, I think it suits you," Syaoran said picking Ki up and zipping him up in his warm hoody.

Later on that night Sakura and Tomoyo where talking about boys, like any girl would do. "So, Tomoyo are you and Eriol for real?" Sakura asked wanting to know. Tomoyo blushed. "Um...yeah," She said. Sakura screamed. Tomoyo blushed. "Oh, Tomoyo this is great," Sakura said. Sakura fanning herself with her hands being hot with excitement. "We have to tell the others and celebrate," Sakura said. "Sakura, C'mon it just a guy I've only known him for a few months," Tomoyo said. "Oh God, love at first sight, I love it," She squealed. Tomoyo laughed. "Now your acting like me now, Sakura." Tomoyo said.

Sakura smiled. "I know, I'll get us some tea." Sakura said walked out her room and down the stairs. Later on that same night Syaoran came in about 12:35. Eriol was in the dinning room looking at the news. Syaoran looked at Ki and zipped his hood all the way. Syaoran shut the door took his shoes off and walked to the kitchen. Ki meowed. Eriol jumped. "Syaoran where were you, I was at your door for a hour," Eriol said walking over to Syaoran. Syaoran turned his back making sure Eriol didn't see Ki.

Eriol looked at how Syaoran was turned. 'What is he up to?' Eriol thought. Eriol turned to see but Syaoran moved. "I went for a walk, and now I'm going to bed." Syaoran said running past Eriol not letting him see the small lump. Syaoran slammed the door and locked it. Ki dropped on the floor. Syaoran took out the cat stuff he brought that was at a counter store. Ki was picking at his bed. Syaoran looked at him. "I have to get you a post," Syaoran said to Ki.

Ki jumped off the bed and looked around smelling and putting his fur on thing. "Okay, Ki come and eat," Syaoran ordered. Ki came running. Syaoran sat next to him and watched. Eriol walked up the stairs slowly to Syaoran room. "You Ki it think your going to like it, it might not be the biggest house in the world but it'll be your home, just don't take a crap on the floor," Syaoran said. Ki looked Syaoran and nodded. Syaoran smiled. "I really think you understand me more then Eriol, he's my half brother," Syaoran said. Ki meowed. "Oh, you'll meet him in due time but I want you to get a little older, just avoid 'you can't him he'll poop everywhere'," Syaoran said mocking Eriol. Eriol sighed and smiled. 'I don't think so,' Eriol thought.

"So where'd your family?" Syaoran asked. Ki looked sad. "Oh I'm sorry, my family was killed, only my cousin Meling and brother Eriol are still here." Syaoran said. Ki finished eating and stretched licked his chops. "Damn, you ate the whole dish. Syaoran dug in the bag and took out some kind of fur ball control stuff called, Lickables. Syaoran smelled it. "Smell like syrup," Syaoran putting a little on his fingers. Syaoran lied on his stomach and extended his arm. Ki walked over slow and smell his finger and began to lick slowly. "This'll help you from throw up fur balls every where," Syaoran said putting it on his paw. Ki began twitching his paw not liking it on his paw.

"Just lick it off," Syaoran said digging in a big bag that held a litter box and litter. "After your done that I'll show you where you go to the bathroom," Syaoran said opening the door. Eriol backup and fell down the stairs. Syaoran opened the door and watched Eriol rolling down the stairs. "Eriol what the hell are you doing?" Syaoran said walking to the bathroom with the litter box and litter behind him. Eriol smiled a little. "I um...tripped." Eriol said. Syaoran sighed and shut the door. Syaoran put the litter box by the toilet and then the litter.

Syaoran took at shower and went back to his room. Ki was washing himself sitting on Syaoran dresser. Syaoran walked over to the window and shut it. Syaoran dried off and put his Pj's on and went to bed. Syaoran felt something at his feet. Ki looked at him with sad eyes. "It's okay, come here," Syaoran said sitting up in the bed. Syaoran's Pj's were black and midnight blue. "Come here, Ki," Syaoran said again. Ki sat and looked. "Ki come here," Syaoran said getting annoyed. Ki walked over smelling his bed walking over. Syaoran watched him. "You can sleep next to me, " Syaoran said picking Ki up and putting his next to him. Syaoran put a little bit of the cover's over his small body. Ki purred slowly. Syaoran smiled and fell to sleep.

Dream

Syaoran was in a black Kimono, bare footed, and had a sword in his hand. Syaoran looked ahead. "I love you Yelang, why don't you love me?" Said a cold voice. Syaoran turned and saw his mother. "You don't really love me, you love my wealth," She said walking away. Syaoran walked a little closer and began to remember the face when he was little. The man grabbed Yelang's arm. "Let me go," She said trying to fight his grip. Syaoran ran over. "Leave her along,"

Yelang cried for help but there was no answer. "You well love me, Yelang." He said. Syaoran went throw the man and fell into the water not wet on anything. "What the hell," Syaoran said. "Beak, if you don't let me go, I'll make sure you'll never see again," Yelang threatened. Then someone same running and jumped and kick the man named Beak across the ground. It was Syaoran's dad. Syaoran eyes began filling up with tears. Yelang face lite up. "Are you okay," He said in his fighting stance. Syaoran's mother nodded. Syaoran felt the tear run down his face.

Then Syaoran was in a white Chinese outfit. "With the power invested in me, I pronounce you man and wife, you my kiss the bride" Syaoran looked ahead and saw he parents kissing. Everyone was cheering and smiling. Syaoran's mother and father looked so happy. Syaoran smiled a little. Then it changed in to a beach. Syaoran was still in the white out fit. Syaoran couldn't smell the sea water but he could feel it.

Then it changed again. Syaoran shirtless in black pants. Syaoran looked around him and saw a water fall of blood coming towards him Syaoran began running and then he was swept away. Syaoran opened his eyes and saw Sakura. "Syaoran," She said. Syaoran got up and Sakura looked up at him. "I'll kill you," She said. Syaoran walked over to her and kissed her feeling her heart beating against him. Then Syaoran felt something go threw him. Syaoran looked at the evil look on Sakura's face as the blood ran down him.

End of dream

Syaoran woke up feeling weird. Syaoran looked to his side and saw Ki looking at him. Syaoran lifted his hand and rubbed his head. Syaoran looked at the time. It was seven. "Well, I guess I can go to school," Syaoran said getting out the bed. Ki jumped off the bed purring went to Syaoran. Syaoran opened the door a little picking Ki up. Ki looked around. "I'll take you the bathroom," Syaoran said walking slowly to the bathroom. Syaoran put Ki down and shut the bathroom door.

Syaoran took a shower and when he came out Ki had a fat tail. "Oh, right cat's don't like water that much," Syaoran said picking Ki up. Syaoran got his books and things together. Syaoran put some food in Ki's food dish. "I'll see you later Ki, and remember it anything or anyone comes in this room, run to the basement all the way in the back, Okay?" He said. Ki sat and looked at Syaoran. "Good, see ya in a few hours," Syaoran said closing the door and locking it. Syaoran slipped on his shoes and walked to school. 'Was that a nightmare of a vision?' Syaoran thought walking past a fountain. Syaoran looked up still walked. He could see the clock tower.

'This place has so little to offer, but in a way people are so easily pleased'

Syaoran finally got to the school he could see the student walking in the school now still talking about last week news and stuff like that. Syaoran sighed and walked to the office to tell them to cut his sick day short.

Meanwhile Tomoyo and Sakura were in class whispering what the next newspaper would be about. "Sakura, how about blackmail week, I love picking up dirt on people," Tomoyo whispered. Sakura smiled. "Blackmail week, that a little mean," Sakura said. Syaoran opened the door. Sakura and Tomoyo didn't notice anything they were to caught up in there book. Syaoran whispered something to the teacher handing her a note. The teacher nodded and told Syaoran what page they where on. Syaoran walked over no making any eye contact with the other students.

It was gym a few hours later. Sakura nor Tomoyo noticed that Syaoran was at school. "Okay, everyone for gym today instead of self defense we well do a race rally," Mr. Kikicola. The student cheered for once. "Okay, you have two minutes to warm up, good luck." He said checking stuff on his chart. All the student's had Black and white uniforms on it was long because of the cold. A student ran up to Kikicola. "Hey kids how about we make this a little more interesting, by have boy, girl single. The team with the most win by seven wins the race." He said. Syaoran sighed and did a handstand on the bench.

All the boys went over to Syaoran. "Damn, you got better fast," Zachary said. Syaoran looked and fell on his back. "Ouch, I know that hurts, you okay?" Goro Wifuha asked. Syaoran sighed. "Fine, who going first?" Syaoran said.

About ten minutes later it was a tied game, Six to six. "Okay, Syaoran beat this girlie out of the park we need to win." Goro said. Syaoran walked to the track with the boy cheering for him. Syaoran stopped saw Sakura at the track. Syaoran got to the track. "Hey, when did you get here?" Sakura said getting in a running position. "I was here this morning, you don't pay attention to good," Syaoran said coldly.

Sakura bit her lip. 'I'll let you have a five-second running start," Syaoran said. "GO,"

Sakura began running. Syaoran counted to five and ran. "What the hell are you doing!" A student yelled at Syaoran. Sakura was trying her best no to trip then suddenly Syaoran zoomed past her. Sakura gasped running as fast as she could. The students were shocked at the speed Syaoran was moving. "Sakura run," Tomoyo yelled.

Syaoran was began breathing hard, he could feel he heart pounding then he saw the night mare he had that morning. Syaoran could see the man at the finishing line. Syaoran picked up the pace even when his legs were about to give out. Syaoran past the finish line there he was lying on the cold snowy ground. "Syaoran, Syaoran dude C'mon wake up," Said an echoey voice, Syaoran opened his eyes and sat up. Sakura and the other students were watching. Syaoran was getting up slowly brushing off the snow.

"What the hell happened?" Syaoran said. Sakura smiled. "You beat me, and when you past the finish line you just fainted," Sakura said. "I could have sworn I saw him," Syaoran said running his hand throw his hair. "Saw who?" Sakura asked getting up. "It's nothing," Syaoran said. Gym was finally over all the students went into the warm dry locker rooms and changed. "You know Syaoran, that was the faster running I have ever seen," Zachary said putting on his shirt.

Syaoran putting on her shoes. "Thanks," Syaoran said. Zachary slammed his locker. "You like Sakura, don't you?" Zachary said. Syaoran blushed and turned away. "No, I just know her, and I don't know why." Syaoran answered. "Stop lying, I can see it written all over your face," Zachary said knowing that Syaoran was lying. "Look, I took her out a few time, that doesn't mean shit," Syaoran said.

Zachary sighed and walked to class. "Well, tell me when your not lying about," He said. Syaoran walked to music class. Syaoran was a little nervous that he might have to play something but he had a strong feeling that wasn't going to happening.

Syaoran opened the door and saw a black shiny new piano in the front of the room. Syaoran began sweating. "Yo, Syaoran over here," Called Zachary. Syaoran walked throughout the small crowd of students. Syaoran looked at Sakura talking to her friends. Sakura looked back making Syaoran turn away blushing. (A/n: I love when he blush's!) The teacher finally walked in. "Hello everyone, I'm you new music teacher, Miss Muki." She said. The class said hello. "Okay, since I don't know you as people, I want to know you as a lover of music, now I need a volunteer to come up and play a short tone, as I call it, for the class," She said.

One on moved. Zachary raised his hand. "Miss Muki, is this like a test?" He asked. She nodded. It was still the same. Miss Muki lean on her desk. "I not going to ask anyone I want to see your will power," She said. Syaoran didn't hear much he was looking a the piano. Goro was sitting behind Syaoran. Goro balled a little piece of paper up and threw it at Syaoran's neck. Syaoran sighed and raised his hand to touch his neck. "Oh, Syaoran now nice of you," She said. Syaoran cursed under his breath.

Syaoran got out of his seat and walked over to the teacher. "Okay, you just pick an instrument that you like or can play," She said. Syaoran walked over to the piano. Sakura looked at Tomoyo. Syaoran sat in the seat feeling his hands sweating and shaking Syaoran put his hand softly one the keys. "Can, I pay anything, I want?" Syaoran asked. "Yes, you may." Miss Muki answered. Syaoran sighed and closed his eyes.

"How can he see the key," Tomoyo whispered to Sakura. Syaoran began playing a soft tone. Syaoran began to see thing in his head when he was little. Miss Muki was looking at the expression on Syaoran's face. Syaoran's hands moved form key to key making it look like the keys where magic. Miss Muki and the student were stunned and shocked. Syaoran could opened his eyes and ended the song even if it was longer. Syaoran sighed and put his hands on his lap. The students applauded, while Miss Muki was in shock. "Oh Syaoran that a perfect everything was perfect," She said. Syaoran looked down and thanked her.

After school Sakura was staying late working on the school newspaper. "Okay one more print," Sakura said sitting next to the printer, printing out the late page to the paper. "Done and done," She said smiling. Jihochi walked in. "Sakura I need you to put this in for me," She said slamming the paper on the desk. Sakura picked the papers up and looked threw then." Sorry, but the school paper only about the school not fashions," Sakura said. Jihochi smiled. "Oh really?"

Sakura curled up her fists. "Oh don't worry, Sakura, I just want this put in, I have a note from the principle himself," She said taking the paper out of her shirt pocket. Sakura sighed. "Fine, go." She said putting it on the computer. "Your such a good slave," Jihochi said walking away. 'One of these days, she going to be so sorry for being so cold' Sakura thought.

Syaoran stayed after school. Syaoran was in the music room playing the same melody for class earlier. Jihochi walked past and then stopped seeing Syaoran in there. 'Perfect' She thought walking in quietly. Syaoran didn't know that it was after four, He was to caught up in what he was doing. Syaoran stopped, he felt a cold aura. Syaoran looked ahead.

'Shit, just my luck,' He thought getting his stuff together. Jihochi cat walked over to Syaoran. "You know how to play the piano huh?' She said. Syaoran stopped dead in his tracks. "Yeah, what do you want?" He said coldly giving her a mean look. "I was wondering, about the winter fest, I didn't see you after you went outside," She began. Syaoran walked past Jihochi. "Sakura huh?" She said. Syaoran stopped. "Leave me along," Syaoran said. "You must be whipped, Sakura isn't your type." She said. Syaoran turned around. "I don't have a type nor do I need one," Syaoran said.

Jihochi pushed his to the wall. Syaoran could feel heart her beating slowly. "You know Syaoran, I can give you what you want?" She whispered in his ear. Syaoran looked down. "No, you can't." He whispered back. Jihochi looked confused. "You can't, I want revenge and your bastard Father's on my list." He said. Jihochi closed his eyes and smiled. "You know nothing about my Father." Jihochi said while running her hand threw Syaoran's hair. Syaoran grinned. "Wanna bet," He said. Jihochi gasped. Sakura was walking past the music checking if anyone was in there.

Sakura heard voices. Sakura looked threw the mall crack in the door and saw Syaoran and Jihochi close. Sakura felt tears. 'What the hell?' she thought. Sakura backed up slowly and ran down the hall. "So, Syaoran you want to take me out?' Jihochi asked. Syaoran looked into her Ice red eyes. Syaoran pushed her slowly away. "No," He said walking out the room. Jihochi smiled evilly. "You can't keep holding, forever Syaoran," She called as he walked away.

Syaoran finally got him Eriol was up stairs. Syaoran looked and saw another pair of shoes. "Eriol," Syaoran yelled. Eriol tripped coming out the kitchen. "Oh, I didn't you where back," He said. Tomoyo came out with a cup of tea in her hand. "Hi Syaoran," Tomoyo said. Syaoran waved. "I'll be upstairs training, don't bug me unless it's important," Syaoran said walking up stairs. Eriol nodded. Syaoran opened the door just to see a sleeping Ki on his bed.

Ki opened his eyes a little and got up and stretched and jumped off the bed purring. "Hey Ki, you've been good while I was gone," He said opening the window. Syaoran rubbed Ki little head and walked over to his dresser and opened the draw. Syaoran took out the security paper for Jihochi's place. Syaoran sat them in front on his and sat in Indian style studying the papers.
