Oh and thanks for the reviews! I really, really, really appreciate it!
Chapter VIII: Jealousy Strikes
After Sakura angrily stomped away that lunch…
"Damn Meiling…" Syaoran grumbled as he punched the wall that he was previously leaning on.
"Everything was fine… considering that day in the park…" he sighed.
Flashback
Syaoran was casually reading a magazine on the benches of Penguin Park. He was interrupted when he heard footsteps.
"Syaoran…" a female voice said.
Syaoran immediately looked up. 'Did somebody just call me?' he asked himself. He shook his head thinking it would get rid of his thoughts.
"Syaoran…." it repeated.
Syaoran, annoyed, stood up. Not only did the person disturb his alone time, she was calling him by his first name. He quietly paced towards the source of the voice; surprised that the source of the voice was a familiar girl with long auburn locks.
End Flashback
(G/N: Well now you know, and to further explain, Sakura was in a daze so she didn't notice Syaoran. Question answered! But about Sakura calling his name… Hmmm… Wait… I'm getting something rubs temples Oh yeah! I got it!)
"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered as she tightened her grip on the part of her uniform, as if it would lessen the hurt in her heart.
(G/N: Argh! You know what I mean!? I mean I do it a lot of time, when I'm hurt…)
"I can't believe I was stupid enough to…" she trailed off as a new batch of tears formed in her eyes, waiting for each one's release.
She laughed coldly as if the pain she felt would go along with it. "I can't believe I was stupid enough to think of him that time in the park…"
She sighed. "And the fact that I was whispering his first name makes it worse…"
She wiped her tears. She opened the faucet and got a handful of water and splashed it on her face. She felt refreshed… but the fact still remains that deep inside she was hurt… and still is hurt…
"And finally… I can't believe that I even thought that I lov—like him…" she whispered as she eyed herself in the mirror. A droplet of water made its way down on her face… was it a tear, or just plain water?
"I can't believe I'm wasting my tears on someone like him…" she whispered.
'But Sakura….' A voice sounded in her head.
She shook her head vigorously, trying not to listen to the voice in her head, which sounded weirdly like her own.
"It's your entire fault you darn Touya!" Touya said as he kicked the soccer ball fiercely.
(G/N: Hey! Don't ask me how he got there! Just think of it as… err… fan fiction magic? Hehehe… Oh and he's in the soccer field… man would I be stupid If I made him kick a soccer ball in class or inside the school!)
"You let her fall out of your grasp!" he whispered as he ran to the net, only to be in the presence of Yukito Tsukishiro, the famous goalie of Tomoeda High. He and Touya are the best of friends, but they didn't have much time to hang out because of their… I mean Yukito's girlfriend and Touya's… err… friend.
"Who fell out of your grasp Touya? Yukito asked.
"Nakuru…" Touya said.
This reply made Yukito stop and raise an eyebrow. "Hmm… So you finally call her by her first name…" he said.
This made Touya stop as well. "No!" was his hasty reply. "Actually… She's been avoiding me today…" he mumbled, still loud enough for Yukito to hear.
Yukito, feeling sympathy towards his friend patted him on the back. "I'm sure she has her reasons Touya…" he said.
"That's actually it… I think I do know her reasons…" he whispered.
"She's seeing someone…" he continued as he stubbornly stopped his tears from flowing.
Yukito was taken aback. The famous Nakuru Akizuki who has the reputation of glomping only on Touya, or who glomps mostly on Touya; is seeing or glomping on someone else? Now that is weird…
"Are you sure?" Yukito asked.
Touya was about to shake his head, but when his gaze caught a certain brown-haired girl and dark auburn-haired boy walking together; he stiffly nodded his head.
"Man… sorry…" Yukito said as he tossed the soccer ball towards Touya, who expertly caught it.
"So up for a game?" Yukito asked. "You know… to let go of all those pent up emotions of yours?"
"What do you mean emotions?!" Touya replied defensively. "But a game sounds nice…" he sighed.
"Mou Takeshi!" Nakuru pouted.
"Sorry Nakuru…" Takeshi sheepishly replied. "I mean… I can't help teasing my dear cousin can I?" he replied as he pinched her cheek.
"Mou Takeshi! I am not a child for you to be pinching my cheeks!" she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I know…" he smiled. "But really… I love your reaction when I tease you to your one and only Touya Kinomoto…" he said nonchalantly.
Nakuru blushed immensely. "Takeshi… even though you are my cousin and the fact that you're like a twin brother I never had, I am still capable of strangling you with my own bare hands!" she replied dangerously.
Takeshi put up his two hands in the air, feigning a defense position. "Please don't!" he pretended to shiver.
"Takeshi… would you stop mocking me already!" she said as she turned away, only to cause her gaze to lock on a certain black-haired boy playing on the soccer field with Yukito.
"Takeshi… I have to go" she mumbled as she pointed to the two boys playing on the field.
Takeshi smirked as he saw who his cousin was pointing to. "Sure… now make me proud and be sure to present me with nieces and nephews when you come back!" he yelled as he ran away quickly from a flushed Nakuru.
Yukito stopped and stiffened when he was staring at something or someone coming towards Touya. He pointed a finger to the person who was running at an incredible speed towards them. Before Touya could see who that person was, that person tackled him to the ground, the person directly over him in a kneeling position.
(EG/N: Argh… Touya is lying down facing the sky and the person is over him, in a kind of kneeling position… I don't know how you guys picture it… but I picture it perfectly.)
Yukito quickly excused himself. Touya looked away from the person directly hovering over him.
"Hello Touya-kun!" Nakuru squealed as she tried to reach out for Touya's face but instead was met with a push from Touya, making her fall to the ground on her butt.
"Ouch…" she winced as she rubbed her bottom. "Mou… Touya-kun… you're so mean!" she said as she made herself comfortable in an Indian seat position.
"Hello? Nakuru to Touya?" she said as she tugged on Touya's pants making him fall to the ground as well.
"Oh my!" she shrieked as she crawled on him in the position they were earlier, but much, much closer. "Daijobu?" she asked as she caressed his cheek, making Touya blush.
Realizing what she was doing, she quickly pulled away her hand but saw that Touya's hand was trapping it. Touya was gazing intently into Nakuru's eyes…
"Akizuki… we have to talk…" he said making Nakuru crawl off him.
They were both in the Indian sit positions… facing each other.
"What do we have to talk about Touya-kun?" she asked.
"Akizuki… do you happen to have someone you love?" he asked casually.
The glimmer in Nakuru's eyes disappeared. "Yes… actually I do…" she muttered.
"So… does he love you too?" he asked.
"No… he doesn't…" she whispered her voice cracking.
Touya's eyes widened. Who wouldn't love Nakuru back? She was annoying… Yes… but she was lovable as well. Feeling sympathy towards his best friend, he took Nakuru's hand into his own and gave it an assuring squeeze.
"Well then that guy must be stupid for not loving you back…"
Nakuru smiled sadly. "Yeah… he's very stupid" she muttered as she pulled back her hand while stopping her tears from flowing.
"I swear I'm going to kill that person! I promise!" he said.
Nakuru laughed coldly. "You can't promise me that…" she muttered as she stood up.
"Why?" he asked as he motioned himself to stand up as well.
"Because that would be suicide Touya-kun!" she smiled happily as she pushed Touya making him fall on his butt. "And of all things… I don't want you to die…" she continued. "Goodbye Touya!" she yelled as she ran away.
Touya just sat there trying to process what Nakuru said… and then it hit him.
"Me?" he whispered. "Wait a minute… She says "see you later"… She never says goodbye to me!" his eyes widened. "No!" he mumbled as he quickly stood up and chased after her…
