Chapter XIV: From afar…
"I love you so much Syaoran!" Sakura laughed as she launched herself at him.
He took a step aside leaving Sakura laying down the floor.
"Kinomoto… I don't love you" Syaoran smirked.
"What?" Sakura cracked… "But… No!" she felt tears form in her eyes as she stood up.
"On the contrary Kinomoto… yes…" he took a step forward and cupped her chin in his calloused hand. "How could you think that I would love you?" he spat.
"No… Syaoran…" she sobbed.
"You're nothing but trash! I am a Li… A Li doesn't fall in love with anyone with the likes of you!" he said harshly as he pushed her away from him.
Sakura tried to reach out for him, only to be swatted by his forceful arms.
"I'm leaving…" was the last thing she heard as she fell into the dark abyss below her.
Sakura immediately hugged the pillow beside her and cried into it, afraid to open her eyes.
"Why don't you love me Syaoran?"
The pillow made weird sounds and weirdly encircled its arms around Sakura's waist and whispered.
"What are you talking about?" the pillow said.
(G/N: cracks up that line felt so… weird…)
Sakura, still dazed by her dream, hugged the pillow tighter.
"Are you really leaving?" she sobbed.
The pillow stiffened. "I… I…" it stuttered.
Sakura hugged the pillow tighter. And the pillow's hands caressed her back as it comforted her.
"Master Li, time to get up" Wei's voice sounded from the intercom.
"Yes Wei, thank you" the pillow said.
Sakura abruptly pushed back Syaoran. "Syaoran!" she gasped as a streak of red came unto her cheeks.
Syaoran chuckled and pulled Sakura towards him. "Yeah?" he asked sleepily as he rested his head on her shoulder, and his arms encircling her petite waist.
"Where are we?" she squeaked at their contact.
"My room" he said dryly.
Somehow, the streak of red just got bigger. "Ro—room!" she stuttered.
Syaoran chuckled deeply before carefully placing Sakura's hands in his own.
"After my wacky sisters attacked you, I brought you up to my room since my mother insisted" he sighed. "We didn't do anything, I assure you"
Sakura let out a sigh of relief.
"Those kinds of things are when we get older" he said.
Sakura snorted and crossed her arms on her chest. "Dream on Li" she muttered as she forgot about her dream and moved to get away from Syaoran. Syaoran growled when Sakura moved away from him and abruptly pulled her back.
"Mine!" he growled, his eyes closed telling Sakura that he was asleep.
Sakura stifled a giggle at his possessiveness.
"Wake up… sleepy head…" she said as she turned to face him and tapped her index finger on his nose.
Syaoran grabbed her index finger and placed it on his lips. "Only if you kiss me…" he mumbled.
Sakura's blush got bigger and bigger. She glared at him playfully, even though he was vaguely asleep and pushed him on the bed. She straddled him and slapped him softly yet silly.
"Just wake up you brat!" she muttered.
Sakura gasped and giggled at the same time as Syaoran grabbed her hands and flipped her over, him hovering over her.
"Why you…" he growled menacingly as he started to tickle her senseless.
Sakura laughed joyously and Syaoran joined her as well. They were interrupted by someone clearing their throat from the intercom…
"Now!" Fanren mumbled.
"Sakura and Syaoran are sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First is love, then comes marriage, then comes Syaoran with a baby carriage!" the quadruplets taunted over the intercom.
Syaoran grumbled incoherent as he stood up and lazily walked to shut off the intercom but not before telling his sisters to shut up, only making them giggle and squeal. Sakura giggled a little before getting off the bed as well.
"What time is it again?" Sakura asked as she started to stretch.
"7:00?" he said as he scratched his head and tossed a towel at Sakura from his drawer. "The bathroom's just outside the door, you wouldn't miss it" he said as he grabbed his own towel.
"What about my uniform?"
"In the bathroom"
Sakura ran to Syaoran and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Arigato Syao-kun" she whispered before she ran out his door and into the bathroom.
Syaoran shook his head smiling and blushing as he felt the place where Sakura kissed him. "My pleasure" he mumbled as he went into his own bathroom as well.
"Really?" Tomoyo squealed as she, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko and Meiling attacked her.
Sakura nodded meekly as she tried to hide her blush. As she and Syaoran left his house, fellow students saw them together including the 5 girls. They grabbed Sakura away from Syaoran before he could protest and bribed Sakura to tell them everything.
"Yeah…" Sakura rubbed her temples. "What did you bribe me again?" she asked innocently.
The other 5 sweatdropped. "If you tell us everything, which you did, we would get you ready for the dance tomorrow! And you'll be drop-dead gorgeous!" Tomoyo squealed with stars in her eyes.
"I will?"
"Of course you will!" they all screeched.
"Ok… Ok! I get it!" Sakura said as she covered her ears.
"Two more days to go and it's going to be party time!" Meiling said.
"Yeah!" Chiharu said as she and Meiling high-fived.
"This is going to be a long day…" Sakura mumbled as she inched away from the five hyper girls.
"I agree" a pair of sad eyes mumbled as it followed Sakura's figure.
"I have to tell her…" he said as he gripped his shirt.
"She will be devastated…" he mumbled.
"I hope she waits for me…" a tear slowly made a trail on his cheek.
"I'm so sorry Sakura…" he said as he walked away furiously wiping the tears that were threatening to come again and again.
