Seven Nights, Two Boys, One Little Sakura

Chapter XI - To Stay or To Leave

Day 4

AN: Hi guyz! Honestly, I cannot believe I made it this far.. Cause, usually, I never get the chance to finish my fanfictions, like "The Revelations" but I'm think on reposting it by the time I finished this, and also my other fanfictions in my other accounts... Anyway, I really cannot believe it that I really did this myself... But no, not only myself, also with your help! I would never have done it without you guyz... Thanks! :)

Recap:

They ran to where the smoke came from but before Kanata knew... He fell on the pit. Good thing Mei Ling was able to clasp on something... She quickly pulled herself up.

Kanata fell on the pit and the first thing he saw was...

Sakura and Syaoran... making out!

The two immediately broke their kiss when they saw Kanata...

"uh... hi?" Sakura said.

-----chappie 11-----

Kanata cannot and wouldn't believe what he saw.

'D-did I saw that right? Sakura and Li?' he thought while staring at them intently. 'No! It's impossible... But could it?' he continued.

"uh.. Kanata?" Sakura asked.

The boy didn't reply to her question but stared at her more intently instead.

"Well, what you saw was--" Sakura was interrupted by Mei Ling who jumped from above to the pit.

"Your explanations are not accepted! How could you do that to Kanata?! Don't you even know or see that he loves you so much!? Or are you just a plain stupid idiot who only wants whats the best for herself? Are you, Sakura Kinimoto?!" she said this very rapidly like the words were coming from a machine gun.

"But I--"

"I don't care of your stupid 'buts!' First, you hurted me, you stole Syaoran from me... But I accepted it since I realized that he wouldn't love me and for the fact that 'we' are cousins.. And now, Kanata too?! Why don't you just--"

"Enough Mei Ling!" Kanata yelled.

"It's okay..." he said softly then walked to one corner. Mei Ling was about to follow him.

"Don't come close to me.." But she was stopped.

"Kanata..." Mei Ling was never so concerned of someone before.. Even with Syaoran. 'Why am I feeling like this? Why am I so concerned of him?' Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head and found Li... She didn't made any reaction.

"We're really sorry..." he apologized.

"Ok, because you are the one who apologized, I can forgive and forget..." she said.

Meanwhile on Kanata..

He was sitting in a ball position, his arms tucked on his knees and his head down.

'Sakura.. I like you so much... But why? Why Syaoran rather than me?' His gray hair is all messy, but he didn't care and her amber eyes are swollen.

'Now I know that Sakura wouldn't like me... She likes Syaoran, I accept it and it's clear to me now... But, should I leave Sakura alone with Li? Or stay by her side so that when Li dumps her, she can have me? Nonesense.! Why would Syaoran dump her anyway? I know that Li likes her very much.. It's impossible.'

He kept on thinking by himself not knowing that Mei Ling managed to slip by his side.

He felt someone sit beside him, so he lifted his head to see who it is.

Mei Ling smiled at her then brushed his gray hair slowly and sweetly. She got her hankerchief and wiped the tears off of his ablaze amber eyes.

"You know Kanata, even though Sakura isn't there for you anymore., I'll still be here,.. I can be your greatest friend ever even though sometimes I may sound silly and foolish. But I don't care! A fool should be friends with other fools right?" she teased.

"So you're saying, Im a fool?!"

"Of course you are! You are a fool for falling for Sakura and not falling for me..."

She said then kissed his lips slightly and whispered.

"Aishiteru..."

She stood up and went to Syaoran and Sakura leaving Kanata all alone in that corner.

He was shocked. Completely shocked, stunned, whatsoever.

KANATA'S POV

Maybe I really should forget Sakura after all...

Yes, that's right...

And Mei Ling?

She's MINE!

NORMAL POV

They stayed in the pit for about 3 more hours and after that, they were rescued by their teachers and sorta somekind of a rescue men. Along the way back to camp, Kanata was silent while Mei Ling was just looking at him. Concerned, or something like that. Sakura and Syaoran didn't talk either. Maybe they're thinking of what happened earlier and Kanata, seeing them make out.

The ride back to camp was completely dull, boring, lifeless, whatever you want to call it... Nobody said a word...

The moment they came back to camp.., Kanata proceeded to his tent followed by Mei Ling.

"Kanata!" She called out following him.

He stopped for a while and so did Mei Ling... But she didn't said a word.

"Mei Ling..."

"Hn?"

"I think you're right."

"About what?" she asked.

"That I am a foolish person falling for Sakura and not you..."

Mei Ling smiled.

"...But there's always room for improvement... Maybe Sakura isn't the girl who is really meant for you.. And maybe, Li isn't the right guy for me after all..."

Kanata chuckled. "I guess your right..."

------end of chappie------
