Chapter IV
-Syaoran-
So maybe that was a little bit too harsh. All the words just flowed out of my mouth naturally. Maybe because that's the only way I knew how to communicate with Kinomoto. As I said before, I never had a decent conversation with her. We always insulted each other, and I think she's had a little bit too much of my insults. She slapped me hell hard. I never knew she could slap as hard as that. I mean, she had a slender figure and all tha- wait a minute. Rewind that. I mean, you'll never expect a girl to hit that hard. I had to admit I was shocked. I felt my cheeks turn numb. She left me there stunned.
Kinomoto has never hit me before. I guess there's a first time for everything. I've known her as a friendly-except to me, cheerful-literally, she's a cheer dancer. Actually, rephrase that more like a cheer leader athletic, a coward-when we're talking about ghosts but a strong and courageous girl as well. I've never even seen her cry. If you ask everyone what she's like they'll all give you positive comments. She only acts differently in front me. I always get negative special treatment from her.
The first three minutes of a little experiment if I was officially an idiot and the results were absolutely positive. The results sure hurt like a bowling ball being slammed in your face. Why did I have to run after her in the first place? What is with me today?
-Normal POV-
The bell rang, making all the buzzing students quiet down and go back to their usual seats. "Ohayo gozaimasu miina!" Mr. Terada greeted. Everyone stood up greeting back "Ohayo gozaimasu sensei!" Mr. Terada looked around and his gaze stopped at Sakura "Sakura, You're early today. Congratulations! It's your first ever day without a tardy mark in my attendance list." Everyone looked at her and giggled. Sakura wasn't paying attention though. Her thoughts were floating with the clouds in the sky. Sakura spent almost all of her classes like this, especially Math. Math didn't really fascinate her that much. It was always a boring subject for her, and they had to take it every single morning.
Syaoran didn't really like paying attention to whatever the teacher said. He was pretty advanced in all the subjects and could still answer whatever the teacher asked him even when he was half asleep in class. He stole a few glances at Sakura who was sitting a row diagonally in front of him. He looked at the board and back at her. Sakura noticed eyes were staring at her, and tore her gaze from the outside's view. Her eyes roamed around the classroom and it stopped to meet deep amber ones. It took her a few seconds before she realized who it was, glaring back at him. Syaoran just smirked back, and glared back at her. "Mr. Li and Ms. Kinomoto you could always take staring contests outside my class. If this is something more serious though, you could always go some place that's more private." Mr. Terada broke through. Everyone sniggered and had stares settled on Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura froze; she hated it when he always saw her do stupid things in class. Sakura snapped out of the glaring contest, although Mr. Terada claimed it was a staring contest, to make it worse, something more private. "Nani!" Mr. Terada looked at her with an annoyed look. She suddenly noticed her mistake and stood up "Ah- ano… gome nasai sensei." She said with a flushed face and sat back down. "Li?" the teacher expected. Syaoran stood up "gome nasai sensei" and sat back down smirking at Sakura. She just glared back.
-Syaoran-
Finally, soccer practice is over. I walked towards my locker when I over-heard someone's voice. "Umm, so did you read the letter?" It was a guy's voice. I continued to walk then something stopped me "Ah- umm, ano… gome nasai Houjo-kun demo…" It was Kinomoto, what's she still doing here? Classes were dismissed an hour ago. Oh yeah, she was at girls' track and field practice, or was it the cheer-leading practice? Whatever.
I leaned on the wall to listen to their conversation. I know it's rude to stick my nose in other people's business but not when it's Kinomoto's. I'm mean aren't I? "But, what? Do you like someone else because if that's the case then I'd do anything to be that someone! Tell me!" there was a loud bang. Hmm…Houjo that guy's in my soccer team. Never knew he likes Kinomoto. He probably banged his fist on the locker or something because it sure made a big racket. "Iie! Demo… Houjo-kun I don't like anyone else it's just that I… I'm not ready to have a relationship yet, after breaking up with Eiji-kun everything's still blurry for me. I hope you understand… Gome. Hontou ni gome…" Her voice, was shecrying? Eiji? Eiji…Yamamoto? Wasn't he the former soccer co-captain? Isn't he the guy that went on a vacation to Kyoto and never came back? They said he died in a car accident. That was last year wasn't it? I never knew she was in a relationship with him. Well, she didn't even exist in my world for the past 3 years, how would I know? "Wa-wakata…" I heard Houjo say, followed by footsteps.
I decided to walk quietly towards my locker which was on the other end of the row of lockers. I and Kinomoto had our lockers in the same row. I walked confidently realizing that Houjo was gone. I was about to continue walking when I saw Kinomoto slowly slide down in front of her locker. She pulled her knees towards her and rested her head on them. I could've sworn I saw tears cascading down her cheeks. I slowly walked towards my locker when I was just about to pass by her weak-looking figure "Don't tell me you're here to give me one of your lame insults again?" she questioned. "Because you want to know what? I would not hesitate to give you another slap on the face" I looked at her slender and fragile looking figure. I've never seen her wrecked before. Amazingly she still managed to talk normally. It made me wonder, if I ever made her cry before as well. Something inside me told me I haven't but something else told me I had. I had to admit I felt sorry, really sorry. I had to cheer her up somehow, or the guilt would never go away. "What are you staring at? Never seen me like this before, I bet. Shocked? Don't be, I'm used to it. Just to let you know, you were the first person to ever make me cry after so long. I never cried after my mother's death. I though crying always made people sad, that's why I never did in front of anyone. But there you were in first year. I guess I didn't realize all the harsh words piercing my very soul. It broke my barrier. That's when I decided that I officially hated you! I kept on telling myself "I hate LI SYAORAN!" She said laughing a little, raising her head looking straight. She sighed "People always say "Sakura-chan it seems like you have a perfect life, I envy you," she continued "You're always cheerful, always hyper, and always smiling." She chuckled "No, I'm not always like that," she explained, "I'm not." She said half laughing, half crying but firmly. She looked up at me with burning emerald eyes. She was furious.
I didn't really know if she knew what she was saying. Her eyes explained her burning passion for hating me. This is so far, the most opened time I've had with Kinomoto. I continued walking to my locker "I kept on telling myself "I hate LI SYAORAN!" The words repeated in my head. It hit me hard, it almost- nah, that would never happen.
I looked at her "That's why I'm here. I guess, that's my purpose. To let you express the sadness trapped in you. You can't just shoo me away, I'll always be there for you to be your guiding arch nemesis." I said as I stuffed all my books in my locker. "So before I get lost for the rest of the day… I want you to get over it-you know the whole Houjo part and I want you to stop crying as well, I hate seeing women cry. By the way, you should take that as a compliment since I never really considered you a woman, it's more like a little girl. Besides the Kinomoto I know never cries unless you want me to have a new nickname for you-Crybaby?" I said firmly, looking at her.
Her eyes grew wide, and she looked down, inhaling and exhaling. I started to walk when I heard her reply "Hah! I never knew you were an eavesdropper. What is this a new habit Li, eavesdropping in other people's conversations?" She said with her usual voice while slowly standing up, she grabbed her bag and stalked off with one last word as she passed me "Eavesdropper." Now that is the Kinomoto, Sakura I know. The other Sakura a while ago was probably possessed or something. That was indeed, a very awkward moment. I smirked to myself, when she exited the door I was left there smirking to myself.
"Crybaby."
(Crazy Moo has managed to somehow tie up all the other people on stage and stuff them in the closet)
Chlei: (finally conscious) Crazy Moo you filthy editor, Let us out!
Crazy Moo: No I don't think I will! Until that is (grins evilly)… Sakura and Syaoran and Eriol and Tomoyo admit their feelings for eachother!
All five people: What!
Crazy Moo: Yup, you heard me!
Chlei: Oh that's lovely! That's a smart idea if only it wouldn't take forever!
Crazy Moo: (sighs) Since I'm going to be here for a while, you people could keep me entertained by reviewing! So please review!
