-------------------AUTHOR'S NOTE------------------
Okay guys! I've made some few adjustments in my story. Because the quick edit in the ff.net doesn't show some special characters like the asterisk. So I'll be using XOXOXOXOX to set new scenes, ok?
I'm really happy that I've got 22 reviews in one day! ; ) Claps stupidly
And about the last scene ducks for tomatoes Okay! Okay! Waving arms furiously I'm really very sorry about the kiss! Well, I don't want to ruin Syaoran and Sakura's friendship. And kissing Sakura in a time like that will just be harder for Syaoran to make the young lady to trust him, ne? Beside, I think kissing scenes is too early for them. nod nod So I'm very sorry for the cliffy. Hehehe!
Again, I'm sorry for the grammatical errors. I know that I've been repeating it over and over. But please, bear with me. Heck! I even have my English book beside me! : ) Oh, well….
So, just like the old times! The Thank you part.

Chapter 8: Déjà Vu
"How many times do I have to tell you that you should make your body closer to Li?" Professor Tan inquired, looking so stressed at her chosen actors, "And Li, you're not grasping Nakamura's back properly. Is there any problem? Are you two at war?" resulting for the guys to sway their heads vigorously, "… then, let's start again. From the top!"
Sakura cautiously embraced the big frame from behind while pressing her whole body to the back of the young man; a little bit cognizant of the big hands in her rear-waist. Visions from yesterday night still linger in her mind.
Somehow, she can foresee what it feels like if she let Syaoran kiss her. Feeling the warmth of the man all over her, she couldn't help but became flushed. What are you doing, Sakura? You're not supposed to feel comfortable with a guy! Banging her head on the large physique as the war in her mind still goes on.
"What are you doing, Nakamura? Stop hammering your head!"
Eh? Sakura absently thought, stopping her frolics in the process. "Sorry, Ma'am."
"Daft." Syaoran grunted, as his body goes taut at the glare of their professor.
"What did you say?" she hissed at the guy's back, being wary of their teacher. "I don't remember asking for your opinion."
"This is a free country, Sakura." Tauntingly whispered back as he heard some mumbled curses from the small form at his back. In some way, he still couldn't believe his lost of control yesterday. He knows that its wrong for him to enraged like that. Hell, he has no right at all!
And the kiss… He was lucky that he even had that little courage to stop himself… It's not that he didn't want that to happen. But, even Eriol would scold him of what he had planned to do to Sakura. And he's a bit fortunate back then for he doesn't receive any slap or hard punch from the lady after that.
How many surprises do people get in two months? Mulling over as Sakura starts to feed him. Somehow, the young lady perfected the routine after twenty-seven times and soiling two dozens of his undershirts. I feel like I'm being tricked every week. He further commented, recalling some events ever since the young lady stayed in the condo.
He thought that knowing the true gender of his housemate was the worst prank he'll ever receive in his entire life. But he was wrong… For after realizing that Sakura was also the singer he admires, he now couldn't draw a conclusion if that'll be the last trick that the lady has in her pocket. Life is really surprising. Repeating in his head the old cliché he had heard from some wise man.
Honestly, he's somewhat happy about the last bombshell, for he was given a second chance to know the singer. But unfortunately, the only person he trusted about his feelings was none other than the subject itself. Now I understand why her eyes expanded like saucers when I told her about… 'Her'. Swaying slightly his head in irony.
But still, he's lucky for the young lady just knew that he admire her, which is far from truth…
He love her…
True, that he have a high regard for the singer. But being with Sakura—the obstinate, bratty, feisty, sharp lady that he met two months ago, he must admit, he had fallen head over heels for her. It's just funny for there's really no mushiness involved in their relationship, but just plain tossing of sarcastic remarks.
And he only realized it yesterday.
That he's not really mad about the blow about the real identity of the singer, but instead, he's just afraid to admit that Eriol was right—he, having feelings with the auburn-haired lady. Learning that Sakura was also a singer is just an added bonus, for he had feelings for her long before the revelation knocked his senses.
This girl has changed you and you don't even know it, man.
Eriol once said in their last conversation at the phone. And of course, four-eyes did it again! The guy was right! He didn't know when, where, why and how. All he knows is that he loves her; that the young Japanese lady did some miracles in his life.
That all his actions—from being a mother hen down to an overprotective sort-of-boyfriend is all because he love her and not because of some moral codes. Moreover, he's only furious back then because the Mr. Perfectionist in him is slowly fading.
When he first knew that Sakura was a girl, she became a threat to him. Because, number one: She's a girl; number two: She's not an ordinary one; making him to come up to a hypothesis that this lady will wrecked his perfectly planned life if he'll not be cautious—which became his third reason. But just as he expected, the unexplainable attitude of the young lady is slowly destroying his perfect life.
His almost flawlessly planned life…
And he haven't done anything
"Mr. Li! Your line."
"A-A, sh!" he stuttered, still recovering from the sudden interruption of his thoughts. Then he start, "I understand why you were like that… And I'm sorry for it's my fault." Sighing deeply, Somehow… the lines weren't that corny anymore… is this what everyone feels when they're I-In love? He ruminate, opening again his mouth, until…
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"I'm sorry Ms. Tan, but I need my players now." a throaty voice interjected as the man in his thirties bowed down to the woman for respect.
"It's okay, we were just polishing the act so it's no bother." Beaming to the blue-haired man at the door, "Li, Nakamura, you may go now. And good luck in the championship!"
"Xiexie!" the captain and his co-cap said, also bowing down, then running after their coach.
XOXOXOXOX
"Hey, hun. Any news from Sakura."
"I've got a call from yesterday that'll make your day brighter." Eriol said, grinning at the phone as he imagined the face of his beloved angel. "Little wolf has found out…"
"Nani?!" the lady squealed from the other line, "It's really kawaii!!! Oh Eriol, it's really great! I hope they'll be with each other soon!"
Nodding his head, "I hope so… but I must say that Syaoran's too slow in realizing things."
"Well, it's your fault anyway, for you warned your dear cousin like Sakura was really your fiancée!"
"Yeah, I remember that pretty well…" azure orbs glistening as he recall the scene.
-------------------Flashback-------------------
You did it again, Sakura. Eriol whispered as he walk away from the piano and stride towards the gaping chestnut-haired guy in the table. Even little wolf is broadcasting your grace, unconsciously. Letting out his famous 'Cheshire-cat grin' as he taps the back of the young Chinese.
"Like it?" as blushed cursed abruptly to the young wolf's face. Looking back again to his friend that's now talking to his fiancée, an idea popped-out in his head. His eyes became serious, glaring intently like a hawk, "Too bad. She's too special for you to have her. And I won't let her have you..." seeing the balling of the young man's fist, "Tomoyo wouldn't want it also…" as he start to take a sip from his drink.
-------------------End of flashback-------------------
"Yet, even though, my cousin realized it earlier. Sakura will not let him… Because you see, our little flower is stubborn."
"That's Sakura, for sure!" giggling and snapping her fingers at the same time, "Anyways, Uncle called me earlier and he told me they now know where's our Sakura."
"And I bet they're wrong again."
"Hai. The agents told him that they last saw Sakura at Shanghai… Anyways, I had a meeting with the recording company. They told me that they'd give us until December to report to them and do Sakura's first single."
"That means we need to encourage Kinomoto-san to cancel the engagement so that Sakura will come back." Burrowing his eyebrows while taking a seat in his office.
"That's right. But how can we do it? I don't get it, Eriol… how come they have money in finding Sakura, yet they need to wed her off because they're bankrupt?"
"Tomoyo, when Sakura's involve, uncle wouldn't mind spending their last penny just to find her. And they're not really broke… but they're close to it… don't worry, I'll try to think of someway for uncle to understand about the refusal of Sakura." Then, "When is your return? I miss you, you know." Letting out his charming voice in the phone. "And Naoko will be here later to show me the designs for the invitation. You know how stupid I can get in mixing colors."
"Stop pitying yourself, dear. I trust your taste… I need to go now… okaasan's calling me. See you in three days!"
"What?! Three days without your beautiful presence with me? I don't know if I can survive!"
Tomoyo laughed, "You're such a charmer, honey! So I got to go! Bye! Love you!"
"Love you, too." And the line went busy while one furious man entered his office, "What a surprise!" he greeted to the black-haired man.
"Stop your sweet-talk, Hiiragizawa. I'm not Tomoyo." Banging the door closed.
Eriol couldn't help but snort, "Okay, Kinomoto-kun. What can I do for you?" giving out his Cheshire-cat grin. He really likes annoying this man. Well, after all, he still hasn't forgotten what Touya did when Tomoyo announced the engagement to them.
He made me stay in the hospital for a week because of two broken ribs and a wrecked left arm… wonder what he'll do to my cousin…beaming broadly at his premonition. "Why don't you take a seat?"
"Stop smiling or I'll personally wipe that together with your face!" he petulantly threat while sitting his self to the offered chair. "I have only one question to you and I only want an honest answer."
"And what's that?"
"Where's my sister?" looking impatiently to the azure pools of the young man.
"Wait…! I think I left her here in my pocket." Motioning his self, as if finding something in his pouch. Then, after a minute, "That's weird… I thought I saw h—"
"—Hiiragizawa!"
"Okay, okay." Waving his hand in the air, still smiling at the fuming guy, "You see, if I knew where she is, do you think I wont get her personally? Tomoyo's been worrying about her twenty-four seven, and of course, the only good thing a fiancé can do is to bring Sakura back to Tomoyo as fast as possible. Really, Kinomoto-kun, why would I want to keep her for myself?"
"Stop babbling and just answer me!" Touya yelled, as he stood up and abruptly collar the young man, "Where's Sakura?"
"Kinomoto-kun, your temper gives me fright."
"And my hand will punch you right." Giving rhyme to the Englishman's statement, "Now, answer me!"
"You want one?"
"Yes!"
"Then, I don't know." smirking calmly, "I don't know where Sakura went and where she is right now." as Touya brought him down, whacked the door recklessly and walked out of his office with no word.
"Now, that was weird."
XOXOXOXOX
Combating drumbeats filled the football field as roar from fighting schools join forces in giving whistles and howls to the performing Cheering squad of the Dragons. "Even though, how much they tried, they'll never reach the charm and gracefulness of Sakura when dancing." Matsumoto murmured while looking at the only girl student of Xianggang Daxue that's currently the co-captain of Wolves.
Looking at the quarrelling housemates, he couldn't help but smile. Seems they got closer than before… crossing his arms and adjusting his self from the chair, which is located at the lower box. Maybe what he did was right. He knows that the young lady will not forgive him. So all he can do now is to somehow give remedy to Sakura's bruised heart.
But he needed to choose wisely. And seeing the care the young captain was giving to Sakura, even if he still doesn't know that his housemate is a female, he knew at once that Li Syaoran is the one.
So he did some test for the young wolf to see if he deserves his dear friend. He was the one who open the door of the shower room, for he wanted to see what would be the reaction of Li-heir. To see if Syaoran would go ballistic, telling the school about the scam or will he just stay quiet.
And the young wolf didn't disappoint him.
Just as he imagine, the Chinese guy became more concern and protective to the fragile flower. And apparently, he could also observe the unhurried change of Li's feelings to Sakura—from being just a protective friend to something more.
He knows that it's not right to go into someone's life, especially Sakura's. But that's the only way he knew to cure the fair lady. She needed someone as stubborn as Li to bring back her faith to men and also to love.
And for now… all I have to do is to watch you both in sidelines as the story unfolds… gazing at the still fighting teammates. Good luck, Li. I really hope that you're the one.
XOXOXOXOX
"For the hundredth time, Li. I'm really fine!" Sakura bellowed to the chestnut-haired captain, clenching her fist every now and then. This guy is so infuriating! He's really getting on my nerves!
"But I saw what happened! And I must say that the blow is too much for you!" Syaoran countered, trying not to attract their teammates. Earlier, on the first half, Sakura was accidentally kicked on the right shin. And being a man, he knew how much force the opponent had given the young lady. "I think you should just sit on the second half. Besides, coach had left, therefore, I'm now in command."
"Don't you dare!"
"Oh, yeah?" waving at the officials that's busily talking to Mao. "Excuse me, I think Nak—BOOG!—What was that?" rubbing his now sore head where the ball had hit him.
"I said stop it! I can handle myself!" hissing while trying to control her voice, "look here, chauvinist…" placing her closed right knuckle to the young man's hard chest, "… don't treat me like a limp or a fragile porcelain doll, for I'm nothing like that. I'm here to play and not to pay attention to your discourse. And even if you knew that I'm just a plain stupid girl, I will still not listen to you for you're a good-for-nothing guy. Hear that?"
Syaoran grinned at his sizzling teammate, "Now, look who's the sexist? Even if you said so… I'm still not allowing you." heading to the officials' booth but was stopped, since the co-cap had just took hold of his jersey, "What now?" glaring back at the lithe physique.
"You know, you're such a plastic person."
"A what…?" turning his body to his angry teammate with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"You see… you're not like that when I'm still a guy."
"When did you have your transplant?"
One more cynical remark and I'll scream! I don't care now what people will think of me. This guy's driving me nuts! As black clouds surrounded her mind, "I said… you're not this kind when you still haven't found out that I was a girl all along." Gazing at the tawny eyes of their captain through her unguarded ones. She always removes her glasses every game, making her teammates to assume that she's wearing contacts. (Kaminari-chan: I don't think she can play football while having her specs on, ne? Even I can't do that. I once tried that, and guess what?!? When I tried to head the ball, my eyeglasses imprinted its frame on my eyes! And unfortunately for me, I'm not allowed to wear contacts for the problem in my eyes is astigmatism. So I just play football without any help for my eyes.)
It wasn't true at all, for she can still remember how the young man always looks after her, especially when Matsumoto or Chang were around. But I wouldn't let him know that. "Was it your conscience that's eating you? Because you let this puny little girl got hurt? Huh?"
No! I'm just plain worried about you! Yelling in his mind, hoping that Sakura would hear it, but, "Alright…" exhaling noisily, "… just be careful next time…"
"Welcome back again, dear audiences!" The anchor interrupted as the whole crowd started to cheer again, "We're still here Xianggang Daxue football field to watch the Championship game of Wolves Vs. Dragons. After this second half, we'll now know who'll hold the title for this season. Will the Wolves still have the bacon? So guys let's mark this day, July 3, as the most important day of our lives!" as the whistle for the game rung in the open field.
Walking to her position as the striker, an indigo-haired guy started to smirk at her, "Hey, kid. Your team will be going down." Giving thumbs down to Sakura while pointing the score board that has 0 – 0 in it, "…It's better if you just plant some sweet potatoes in the mountains."
"Really?" she retorted mockingly, "Too bad I'm planning to make fettuccine and I need some cream. So get ready to be cream." settling up with same smirk, "And oh, by the way. Sweet potato is a tropical vegetable so it only grows in warm area. Got that?" giving the first pass to Syaoran.
"Certainly." Blocking Sakura from her path, as the young man tries to defend their goal.
"Shun!" Syaoran yelled from the right side of the field as he passed the high ball to Sakura that's trying to run to the defensive line of the opponent.
While preparing for some crossover, in which the young lady will receive their captain's pass by heading it and directly bringing it to the goal, she first grinned at the guy with indigo locks then did what she planned.
"And the Wolves made the first goal!!!"the announcer said happily. Of course he should be, for the place is the home court of the Wolves. "Now let's see what the Dragons will do about this one…" as the players positioned themselves again for the kick-off.
"You're just lucky." The guy that's been bugging Sakura smugly said to her, "But your luck will end here… I think I should now take some revenge on what your teammate has done in our star player." Smiling as he scooped the ball, directly to the Wolves defensive line.
Realizing what the guy had said, Sakura warily guard the guy as it dribbled the ball. What will he do? What will he do? Chanting the question in her head while trying to steal the ball. After her long attempt, the ball is now in her hands. Dribbling it expertly while dodging all her opponents by doing fakes. When she reached the half of their rival's base, the indigo-haired guy blocked her path.
"You won't get away." smirking to Sakura.
"You could say that again." Chipping the ball towards the waiting Syaoran, "Get it dum-ass!" she yelled to their captain.
"Sure thing, dim-wit!" her housemate replied while smirking as the young wolf chest-trapped the ball and started to dribble it to the goal.
"And again… the Wolves made some improvement!" cheerful voice booms at the whole stadium, "And this time the captain made it happen…" as the girls of the other school cheered at the cute captain ball of Hong Kong University.
"Dammit!"
"Now who's the one who'll plant potatoes?"
XOXOXOXOX
"Let's cheer again for our success!" Zheng yelled, as the guys bring their snifters up for the toast. The game ended with a score of 5 – 0—in favor to the Wolves—which is mostly because of Sakura's goal, making the Wolves the champion for this season. "And we should thank Nakamura for letting this to happen."
"We all did our best." Sakura defended, not wanting to be the center of attraction. "We should also cheer for Mao because he didn't let any goal attempts of the Dragons to pass through him."
"You're so modest, Nakamura." The captain said smiling as he stares at the disguised co-cap that's currently running her right index finger to her newly made fake eyebrows. He could still remember the earlier event at the shower room.
-------------------Flashback-------------------
"So, Li we'll just meet you and Nakamura at the Velvet bar later, ok?" Jin told the two guys while walking out of the shower room making his dark-orange hair to sway at the sudden gust of wind from the outside.
"Ok." properly locking the metal door behind him. He then grabbed his things that have been lying on the long bench beside the lockers and stuffed them properly in his green duffel bag. Recognizing that his companion isn't moving from its spot, he decide to ask her the obvious question, "Why aren't you taking your shower?" looking at the smug face that he finds very inappropriate to the Japanese lady.
"In case you haven't realize, you're still here."
"So what? As if I'm going to do some hideous things at you." turning over his head to the bag as he zipped it carefully, "…which is very far from reality."
"Then why not follow the team? You're the first one who took the shower and you're all set." Sakura gritted, glaring closely at the smiling guy, "Don't tell me, you're going to watch me take a bath?"
"Precisely!"
"Nani?!"
Amber eyes beam in delight, "Nah, just joking… I'm here to guard you." causing the make-up brows of his companion to rise up, "Well, we shouldn't take any chances or Matsumoto might pop-in where we wouldn't want him to be. Don't worry, I won't peep." Assuring the lady that broke down his ideals as he walked briskly to the door and sit at the mono-block chair that he brought with him, facing the metal door. "You should start now before I let myself do it for you."
"Scumbag!" the lady hissed as he heard the rustling of the fabrics on the floor.
"My, my dear Sakura. You have added another pet name for me. I'm really flattered." Still facing the door while he heard another curse from the girl together with the hard gush of the water.
-------------------End of flashback-------------------
"Hey, are you still okay?"
"A-Yeah." The captain replied to the golden-eyed guy beside him. "Just a little spaced-out."
"Don't worry about him, Jin. He's always like that. He's always thinking."
"At least I know how to think." Pointing out the obvious while smirking at the only girl in the group. He though that he should just go on with his sarcastic remarks, for he knows that the young lady is still conscious of what had happened yesterday.
Moreover, he knew that his Japanese friend is still resenting his species, so he needs to do something about it first. I don't want to scare her. I know that she knew about my admiration to her… but knowing her stubborn head, she just left it at the back of her mind. Smiling as he watched the people at the dance floor.
"Hey, Nakamura. Why aren't you taking a sip? Is this your first time to drink a tipple?" Mao said as he noticed that their co-cap hasn't even ordered any drinks. "Here, why don't you try this one?" handing over his coke-n-rum to the auburn-haired guy.
Adjusting her eyeglasses, "No thanks. I don't drink."
"Why? Scared of getting drunk?"
You have no idea. She said in her mind as she glared at their handsome captain. "What if I say, yes?" taunting the amber pools before her. She knew that the young man was just teasing her. And she couldn't blame him for he doesn't know the story behind it.
"Hah! For once, Mr. Assertive backed-out!" Zheng said, snapping his fingers to call the bartender. Then suddenly, a man in his thirties that's wearing a black leather vest and white long sleeves beneath it came over to them. "Would you please give our ace player here your well known gin tonic?" turning his head to Sakura as the man walked out to get the order, "I want you to drink what I've ordered for you, ok? I won't accept 'no' for an answer. Stand up and be a man!" patting her back, somewhat roughly.
"You don't have to do it, Nakamura."
"Mr. Deeds coming to the rescue." As teal eyes rolled lazily, "Why do you always have to decide for Nakamura here? Are you two… you know?" making the housemates glared at him big time! "Okay, okay. I was just joking! Man, why do people nowadays don't know how to have fun?" swaying his head, making his blonde hair glimmer as the disco lights flashed at the group.
"Because your jokes aren't that funny to laugh at." Mao answered bluntly whilst taking a sip from his coke-n-rum. "It's okay Nakamura. You won't get drunk, trust me." Causing the Li-heir to snort on impulse.
Does he actually think Sakura would trust him? Shaking his head while waiting for the lady's reply. I would certainly tell her my feelings on the spot if Sakura agreed to it.
"Okay. I'll take it."
Syaoran's jaw dropped, No way! Gawking at Sakura who's getting the alcoholic drink to the bartender.
"I think you should close that one before some fly try enter." The young lady mocked at the gaping guy. She knew that the young wolf was totally surprised at her action. But hey! She's Nakamura Shun. A guy. This doesn't concern trust because as far as she knows it, guys don't back-out at dares—which is mostly silly. She then again smiled at the young wolf as she lip-read what the guy was mouthing to her, which is basically consisting of four words: have it your way.
With pleasure. She also mouthed, making the amber eyes flashed seriously.
XOXOXOXOX
"Did Long did what I ordered him?" a guy inquired haughtily, gritting the cigar to his teeth.
"Yeah, everything is perfect."
"Let the games begin." He smilingly said while looking at a particular group in the room.
XOXOXOXOX
"I think you should stop it now, Sakura." Syaoran said to the tipsy form beside him after their teammates decided to dance with the hot chicks on the stage. "You're almost emptying the bottle." Hissing while looking at the almost empty container at the table.
"I can handle myself, Li." Sakura fought back, "Why are you so defensive? You know, you should stop being rational sometimes and just have fun."
"I'm not like you, Sakura. I have discipline." He stated firmly, "I know my limitations."
"Oh yeah?" she woozily asked, emptying the shot glass for the nth time, "Then tell me why he didn't stop?" Focusing her emerald orbs to the startled ocher ones, "I thought you guys know your limitations. Then tell me why they didn't stop?"
"I don't know what you're talking about—"
"—Of course you don't know!" She yelled in her feminine voice, and luckily, the discotheque sounds were too loud for the other people to hear her shout. "For guys always stick up for their brothers! Stupid brotherhood." She spat while standing up, "I'm outta here." She ended, walking to the exit.
"Sa-Nakamura, wait!" the young wolf shouted but the lady didn't hear him. I must follow her. Turning his head to the dance floor, But I've got to tell them first that we're going home.
XOXOXOXOX
Stupid Li! Stupid guys! Stupid men! She cursed in her thoughts while walking at the dark alley. She knew that she gotten herself very drunk but there's something familiar with what her feeling. "Feels like—"
"—Well, well, well. The star player is here." A husky voice said with snicker. "What do you say guys? What will we do to him?"
"I think we should punish him." another guy suggested, while circling the dizzy lady.
"Yeah! I want to see him walking limply and with a smashed face!" another one proposed while smiling evilly.
"Who are you?" the drunk Sakura said, making her voice low at the process. Then, she fixed her specs, although it wasn't needed for her to see clearly, "…you!"
"Yeah… Me." as blue eyes flashed when his indigo bangs begin to sway with the night wind. "I told you, we'd take our revenge. Right guys?"
"Yeah!" the other four cried in unison as they start to attack the lone lady.
Not again! Sakura shouted to herself as she clumsily evades every punch and kicks that the players of Dragons gave her. She smirked at the situation, "Is that all you've got?" as she made a back flip to avoid the jab of one of the men. But then, her landing didn't go well. So she wobbly stood up and she brought her hand to her temple. Oh no! What's happening?
"Feeling a little woozy?" the indigo-haired guy asked mischievously.
Shoot! I've been drugged! She bawled as her vision starts to blur. And seeing this, the guys didn't waste time and started assaulting her brutally. At first, she could still feel their punches and kicks, but as time passes, her senses begin to fail her.
"Well, what do we have here?" looking at the battered co-cap, "He's a she." Grinning while tearing up Sakura's shirt. "What a surprise."
"And a beautiful face too."
"Can I have her?"
"Me first!"
"Stop it!" the leader barked, gripping Sakura's bruised face, "Let me handle this one." Smiling seductively as he gave a peck to Sakura's black-and-blue cheek. "No wonder the young wolf looked at you possessively at the game. Your University's really one of a kind."
"Stop." Sakura pleaded while tears starts to flow in her eyes. "Stop it."
"Where's your sharp tongue? Sush… don't cry." Licking her left earlobe, "I'll be gentle."
Please, Kami. Not again. She prayed silently as the filthy hands starts to roam. Please, somebody help me. Asking no one as her tears flows endlessly. She couldn't see a thing. The drug starts to do its job. It's starting to make her eyelids heavy and her thoughts to be unclear. Moreover, her nose feels numbed and her throat became dry. Maybe it's my fate… as she completely closed her eyes, but not before seeing her only hope…
A fierce amber pools.
TBC…

ducks for tomatoes! Wahh!!! Gomen ne, Gomen ne! I'm really sorry! I know its too short… For this is the shortest chapter I've ever written for this story. But don't blame me! I just split this chapter to have a cliffhanger. (I'm pretty bad, ne?)
Don't worry, I promise you that the next chapter will be very interesting… wink wink and I can say that chapter 10 will be the chapter you shouldn't miss! nod nod I've been typing that chapter for 3 days straight! (except for 5 hours sleep, meals and some nature calling) but I can say that you'll definitely love it! So keep on reviewing…
I really would love to receive long reviews on this one. Kahit magtagalog na kayo, okey lang… mas at home nga ako pag ganun eh! And nakakatuwa kc may nakikilala akong mga kababayan ko na nagbabasa ng kwento koh.
I'm sorry again for some grammatical and typographical errors. bow especially on some my Mandarin. (Demo, I don't think I have errs on that one.) For you know that I'm here in the Philippines and we speak Tagalog, in here. I only have 3 classmates who are also Chinese. The first one is from Guandong and the other two are half-Filipino, half-Chinese. And too bad because its vacation, that's why my Chinese skills is becoming rusty.
