..: Essence of Cherry Blossoms:..
yayyy. Thanx for the help guys.
I think I'll choose the mini cooper and Zhang Shuntu and Lyao Shunhe.
Sorry for whoever's ideas I didn't use! New characters probably will come in later. If so, ill make their last names with what you guys gave me.
Ok…so in the last chapter there were more characters….
ZHAO XIWANG: He is an upperclassman to Sakura and Xiaolang(not that Xiaolang cares…). He is immediately smitten with Sakura. With his good looks, girls are always after him and Sakura is the first girl to openly show her hate. Xiaolang and Xiwang go way back. They used to be friends, but drifted apart and eventually hated each other over an incident.
LEE JIAXI: She is the girlfriend that Xiaolang broke up with for Sakura, but now has gotten back together again. She is tied in Sakura's past. How, you aren't supposed to know yet. Haha. She is obviously up to something.
Ok, I should start writing the next chapter yea?

"Good-bye…"
Those words haunted me for a day.
Why was I so sad?
I didn't even like Xiaolang…
And he was going out with Jiaxi anyway…. That bitch…what is she thinking….
The memories….of what happened in Japan….its slowly coming back to me….
Flashback.
"Nao!" I cried as I saw him leaning against the light pole.
He turned in my direction and smiled, opening his arms.
I ran to him and he swung me around in circles before gently setting me down.
"A rose for the beautiful lady before me." He said jokingly and he handed me a peach rose.
A laugh rose from me and I linked arms.
"Were you waiting too long?" I asked and I breathed in the rose scent.
"A little…who was holding you up this time?" he asked.
"Ah…just Jiaxi. She wanted me to go with her to some party…but I told her I had more important things to do…." I said playfully looking up at his face.
"Oh hmmm….." he said before turning to me with a smile, "So where does piggy want to eat today? My wallet is so thin because of you…"
"What did you say?" I said in mock hurt while playfully slapping his shoulder.
Nao laughed and swung his arm over my shoulder.
"SAKURA!"
I jolted up from my reverie.
Tomoyo was before me…jumping from foot to foot again.
You've got to stop that habit! You've got to stop that habit!
"Sakura chan! What happened at the arcade! Xiaolang came back to Li corp with this pretty girl and this scaaaaaaaaaaary look on his face! He wouldn't tell us what happened! Then he told that pretty girl to get out and she made a fuss but then Shunhe led her outside by force! Then Zhouyu, Shunhe, and Shuntu tried to talk to him but he wouldn't say anything and he just left! We think he went hella drinking! Sakura chaaan! What happened!"
Oh my god.
Tomoyo Daidouji!
Thank you for telling the whoooole entire class my breaking news yesterday! Maybe you should make a news channel featuring "Sakura's life story!"
"Tomoyo! Shut up!" I whispered fiercely as I scanned the room.
MingLi looked in our direction with a small frown on her face.
"okkkkk. But Sakura chan. What in the world happened? I won't be surprised if we find Xiaolang today wasted like hell!"
"Well…."
So I told her what happened. Every little detail. Am I digging my own grave?
I saw Tomoyo's mouth open.
Yea, I think I did.
I put my hand over her mouth before she could make the world go deaf again.
"shhhh Tomoyo!"
She nodded like a little kid.
School had ended and Tomoyo said she was going to go find Eriol and see if he knew where Xiaolang was.
I was about to say I was going too…when I rememberd. We weren't together anymore….wait, we weren't EVER together!
Sakura no BAKA!
As I proceeded to bang my head against the school wall… I heard a deep voice behind me.
"Well…are you trying to lose some brain cells meimei?"
I tripped and got myself mooshed against the wall.
I looked behind me.
"Zhao Xiwang"I said surprised.
"Ah. Meimei…that hurts. Drop the formality." He said wincing a little.
"Zhao Xiwang." I said again.
"Ouch." He said grinning.
I couldn't help but smile.
"Can….can I uh…take you out somewhere?" he said hopefully.
Xiaolang immediately popped in my head.
"Umm…."
"Somewhere nice?" he said trying to tempt me.
My taste buds are kicking in.
Forget that idiot!
"Ok!" I said cheerfully.
I really need some cheering up…..food does that for me!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
We arrived in 15 minutes at Hua Er Tsuan cuisine.
Seeing everyone dressed inside so nicely made my squirm.
I was wearing a DaGong uniform…my skirt was wrinkled and I had a grease stain on my tie.
Wonderful. Representing DaGong. I'm sure they will be proud of me.
"Umm….Xiwang… I'm not dressed appropriately…" I muttered trying to hide behind him as we walked towards a lavish table.
"Well…neither am I! It's better anyway! People can stare at ussss." He said smiling.
"What? Noooo."
I was nearly crying as we sat down and people in overly decorated dresses and suits glanced at us.
"What do you want? Shrimp scampi? Sashimi? Steak?"
"Uhh…hmmm…" I said scanning the menu finally ignoring the stares successfully.
"Let's get everything!" he said, as he clapped for a waitress.
One quickly came.
"Everything." He crowed to her.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao." She said hurrying into the kitchen.
I looked dumbfounded at Xiwang.
Seeing my confused face, he smiled.
"My uncle owns this place." He explained.
"Ohhh…" I said thoughtfully playing with the fork in one hand.
In a matter of 15 minutes, dishes began piling on the table.
And half an hour later, I was drained from eating and full in the stomach.
"Are you still hungry?" Xiwang asked placing a shrimp delicately in his mouth and chewing slowly.
"Are you kidding? After all that? I'm not that much of a pig." I said laughing.
"That's good…" he said smiling softly at me.
I looked uncomfortably away towards the door.
God must hate me.
Because at the moment…the two people I didn't want to see the most entered the restraunt.
Li Xiaolang and Lee Jiaxi.
Jiaxi was clinging onto a slightly annoyed Xiaolang.
She was wearing a spaghetti strapped long sea blue dress with a rose pattern bead works flowing from the left shoulder down to the right bottom of the dress where frills gently laced it. It hugged her body just right.
Her hair had been slightly cured to frame her face and she added just the right amount of makeup.
As much as I hate her….I have to admit her fashion sense is great.
"Xiaolang! It Fate that we are together! Lee Jiaxi and Li Xiaolang! Match made in heaven!" she said crowing.
I take everything I said ALLLL back!
And your Chinese is still stupid sounding!
"Shut up before we leave." He said with a tight voice, looking pretty sick.
His eyes wandered upward and met mine.
Our eyes met and I felt my heart start pounding faster.
His eyes slid to Xiwang, then back to me.
I saw the muscles in his jaw tighten.
"Jiaxiiii! Xiaolang! Come eat with us!"
Zhao Xiwang do you really want me to die at an early age!
I could do nothing as Jiaxi dragged Xiaolang over plopping him into the seat and hugging his arm tightly.
I stared at my food and started pushing it around.
"Sakura ah…long time no see."
I looked up in shock and saw Jiaxi staring at me with that sick smile of hers. That betraying smile.
My eyes shook and I looked down again.
I heard Jiaxi scoff.
"Still the same little girl as always…you'll never beat me." Jiaxi said switching to Japanese.
"Oh yea?" I said switching to my native language.
"Yea. You lost Nao to me, and now Syaoran as well. You're pathetic." She said laughing a cold laugh.
All this while Xiwang and Xiaolang were looking back and forth between us.
I wanted to hit them over the head.
Does your Japanese suck that much?
Ringring!
Xiwang snapped his phone open.
"Hellooo? Oh Weifang? WHAT! Fight! Now? Shit!" he quickly hung up and looked at me apologetically.
"Sakura ah…sorry. My guys are in trouble. Stay here and order anything as much as you want. I'll see you some other time ok?"
My throat was stuck.
NOOOO! Don't leave me here with anger management and bitchy bitch!
But before I could even get the NO out, he had run out.
Now it was the not so happy trio. Great.
I peeked up and saw Xiaolang staring at me and Jiaxi looking excitingly somewhere at the other end of the restaurant.
"Xiaolang ahhh, I'm going to go over there and say hi to someone ok?"
"Whatever."
"Aw honey. You should sound like you care more!" she said laughing but her eyes were cold.
Without another word, she flounced with her ugly dress to another table.
I looked at Xiaolang again.
I shook my head.
"Waitress! A beer please!"
"You're not the right age though…" she said nervously.
I then realized she was supposed to give me whatever I ordered, since Xiwang said so.
"I'll tell Xiwang…" I said lowering my voice.
She quickly ran and grabbed one.
I chugged it down in 15 seconds,.
Still staring at me. That bastard was still staring at me!
I'm going to rip his eyeballs out.
"What…what are you staring at !" I said angrily.
"Don't…."
"What did you say? Speak louder!"
A warm feeling was arising in my body. SAKE!
"Don't…show your face to me."
He still sounds out of it….he really was drinking last night…
"Ok!"
Glad to!
"Don't…talk to me. From today on, we don't know each other."
"Ok! Well, I got to go. Bye!"
This guy read my mind! I don't want anything to do with you or your girlfriend! Fare thee well!
I jumped up from my seat and ran out.
"Taxiii!" I cried joyfully.
LALALA. Thank the lordsss.
As one slowed down and I was about to go in… I felt a push behind me and I yelped.
The door was shut and I looked at the offender.
Li Xiaolang!
"Who…who are you!" I said yelling.
"Shut up."
"What! HEY. HEY! STUPID! You're the one who said it was over!" I continued shrieking.
"I said SHUT UP! Driver, Gongju park." he yelled.
I pushed myself against the car seat.
The driver in front was muttering angrily.
The whole ride was silent.
We finally arrived at the park. I jumped out and ran towards the swings.
I looked back and saw Xiaolang throwing a few bills at the driver before closing the door and slowly walking toward me.
"I thought you said you weren't supposed to know me!" I said running behind a swing.
He said nothing and came closer.
"Wah wah! Rape! Li! Don't come any closer!" I said panicky and ran behind a slide.
I didn't hear anything anymore.
Had he given up and went away?
Blowing out a breath of relief, I turned around and ran into a wall of muscle.
"Holy Moly!"
I pushed myself away but Xiaolang's hands gripped me firmly, not giving me any chance of escape.
"Oh. My. God. Save meeee." I said laughing insanely as Xiaolang put his arms around me.
What the hell!
Didn't this crazy person hate me?
I began crying.
"You know…you know Xiaolang… my heart was broken once. I think. I can't really remember….I remember just…a guy. Named Nao Kuriyama. Then…then… this GIRL. Oh my god! She's your girlfriend!"
SHUT UP KINOMOTO SAKURA! STUpid! You should have drank that beer! You know you have 0 tolerance for alchohol!
I felt his arms tighten slightly.
"Lee Jiaxi…she was my best friend…she transferred from China like…like when she was 10! Her Chinese STILL sucks ass! She…loved him too! Hahahah! And THEN. Then. She…took him away! The only guy I have ever liked! You know! LOTS of guys liked me in my school! But HAH! I just brushed them away! Because….because Nao….he was the only one for me…he IS the only one for me…."
I wept openly.
Nao….will you ever come back to me?
If you come back…I promise never to leave you
Unknowing to me, was Xiaolang's face.
A sad longing resided inside it as he held me crying for the last 5 years of my life.
0oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0
shit.
I didn't know how to end it!
Sorry if that break sucked ass.
Well, thanks for everyone who reviewed!
Miss Kit.
