Hello. I'm back! Back for another chapter that is. Guess what? I got more reviews I don't think they've read the third chapter (Updated June 5) because it says "chapter two." not three. But this is four. (Ohohen got four chapters in two days!) And, I'm kinda short on ideas but hey, I'm tryin'. The least you can do is review, okay?
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS or CC...who owns CC anyways? Nelvana? Yeah think so...
Story time Yaaay!
Oh...and thanks a lot Chloena for telling me how to spell kaijuu. I'm not Japanese, that's why. Oh and the story is getting off track, but it'll go back the next chapter or two. And I do not speak mandarin. ButI want to.But then again.I'm fine right now too.I mean like being biiligual is cool...butI used to speak mandarinwhen I was what, like two? But my when my parents came back from N.C. with a new home, they spoke Cantonese. So that's why I speak only a little mandarin. Hmm...I can still remember that paper that talked about the sun and the moon in mandarin. But, I can mostly listen to mandarin, even though I don't speak it. And I can understand another language that my grandmother speaks, but it's the same with mandarin. I know very little about it. It's still a Chinese language, but I don't know how to say it in English...
Stars and Love
Chapter Four: Let's go to the mall. Okay been there. Where now? I know! The police station
Kinomoto residence
beep. Beep. Beeeep
"Hooooo..." Sakura moaned. 'What a night If only Touya minimized the time limit to ten not twelve.' she paused. 'But then again, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't of met Syaoran. Or Li.' she thought about what happened last night. 'Come to think of it, he was kinda cute. And he was very nice.' she thought remembering the complement Syaoran gave her.
"Hmm...Sunday...I think I'll-" she was cut off.
"Yo Kaijuu! Your friend is here!" 'Friend friend...TOMOYO-CHAN! THIS EARLY! OH NO.'
Sakura ran to the bathroom and did everything as fast as she could. She grabbed something to wear.
"Um...um...that! She grabbed a top and an overcoat. She also decided to wear the same thing yesterday, a dress that came down to her knees. But this time it was black. She also grabbed a dark blue sweater that was pretty long. She didn't recognize it but that wasn't important at the time.
She put up her hair quickly and still managed to get it to look good. 'How do I do that? Oh never mind that, just go!' she ran downstairs. Stumbled. "AH!" she was about to fall forward until Touya came and held her up.
"Hey, look it's the Kaijuu! How much do you think they'll pay me for it Yuki?" Touya looked over at his friend Yukito. Yukito smiled.
"All I know is that Sakura would pay you anything if you let her go" Touya looked at Sakura. "Listen up kaijuu. Get home before ten. It's a school night. Got that?"
"Yeah right. Now let go of me and don't call me kaijuu." she glared.
"Sure Kaijuu." he teased. Sakura kicked his leg and stomped on the other foot.
"AH" he fell on to the ground. He had no way of standing. Yukito laughed and helped him up.
"Kaijuu is really a Kaju huh Touya?" Yukito laughed and Touya glared at him.
"Whatever." he rolled his eyes.
Outside Kinomoto residence
"Sakura-Chan! Hurry! We got an hour till the store opens!"
Sakura moaned and groaned. 'I forgot about breakfast! How do you expect me to run!'
Tomoyo was ahead of her. "Come on Sakura! Today would be nice!"
"Coming!"
Tomoeda's nearest mall
Sakura and Tomoyo arrive at the store. The same clerk lady was there smiling.
"All right! I knew you guys would bring it to me in time!" a man walks into the store from the back door. The clerk responds immediately.
"Good Morning sir." the man smiled and looked at Tomoyo. "Is your name Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo went wide-eyed. "How did you know!"
"I am a good friend of your mother!"
"Sonomi?" (A/N: Did I spell that right? No. I didn't. But I tried, right?)
"Yes! She showed me a picture of you one day." he turned to Sakura. "And you must be Sakura. Sonomi told me how you two were always together! She said sometimes people mistaken you two as relatives! Wait, you are distant cousins right?"
Sakura smiled. And Tomoyo just nodded.
"AH She also told me that you were a great designer Tomoyo! And she said you had a book of designs in your room is that right?"
Tomoyo smiled happily. No one ever appreciated her drawing in a book full of designs. This was her major chance! And the store happened to be quite popular too. Very nice designs. "Yes! Would you like to see them!"
"Of course!" he paused. "And you go to Tomoeda high?"'
"Yes. Why?"
"Well, my son just moved here from England. And he's going to Tomoeda high also."
"Oh yeah. Look forward to seeing him!" Tomoyo remembered the book. "Hmm...I'll go get some breakfast and then I'll get the book for you okay Mr..."
"Hiiragaziwa." Tomoyo smiled.
"Yes. Mr. Hiiragaziwa." (A/N: Did I spell that right? It's not in the dictionary. Starts looking in dictionary.)
Near the Food Court
"So Sakura, what do you want to eat for breakfast? Omelette? Pancakes?"
"Whatever is fine. French toast for me. Just as long as I'm paying for it."
"But Sakura"
"No buts Tomoyo. You payed more then a hundred dollars yesterday. This is the least I can do to pay you back."
"Thanks Sakura. I think I'll have some eggs, biscuit, bacon, and some orange juice."
"Sure."
Syaoran's destination
'Looking for Sakura isn't going to be that easy. I asked for the address, they gave it to me and what happens? A terrible nightmare.
Flashback a couple minutes ago
Syaoran walked up to the Kinomoto's front door. He knocks. A moment later, the door opens.
A tall, dark haired guy opens the door. "Who are you?" he says, annoyed.
"Um, my name's Syaoran and..." the guy raises one eyebrow. "I'm looking for Sakura. She does live here right?"
The guy looked shocked and then mad like, furious! "You're his boyfriend aren't you! You're here for Sakura huh! You're here to go on a date huh! Well this is from me about you taking Sakura on a date for the first time!" he raised a fist and was about to give a punch on Syaoran. That is, until someone came and stopped him. Syaoran dodged the punch anyway.
"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down will ya?" he smiles at Syaoran. Syaoran sees the smile and has the lightest shade of pink blush.
"Hi. I'm Yukito and this is Touya. If your Sakura's boyfriend, she's at the mall with her friend." Touya wanted to interrupt but Yukito wasn't going to let him go that easily.
"I'm not Sakura's boyfriend. I'm just an acquaintance or friend. I just met her last night."
He paused. "In fact, you should be thanking me. I saved her last night." he smiled. Then pinched himself mentally. 'Syaoran you idiot! Why did you...oh never mind.'
"Well, um thanks. We're happy for what you did?" Touya and Yukito didn't know what to say. They didn't even know what happened.
"Well, see ya around Syaoran." Yukito walks away. Touya glares. "What are you still doin' here kid? Shouldn't you be gone by now?" Syaoran gives him a blank stare. 'Oh oh. Yukito! Come back! Touya's gonna harass me!' too late. Touya was already chasing him out the door with punches. He heard Touya ask Yukito if he's seen his dark blue sweater. Syaoran could of easily stood and fought but he could do it for no reason. He just ran on to the mall. Iight poofed out and landed on the top of Syaoran's head.
End of Flashback
Syaoran sighed. "If that was Sakura's brother, I pity on Sakura." he said to Iight as he entered the main entrance of the mall.
"I wonder where could she be? Well, I'll start looking on the southern part of the mall. The food court."
Syaoran walks towards the food court and accidentally bumps into someone on the way. Knocking Iight off of his head.
End of Syaoran
"AH" Sakura bumped into someone and was about to fall until someone with grabbed her wrist before she fell to the floor. (A/N: Hmm...where does that scene come from? I wonder...I'm not copying or anything, it just came to my mind while I was doing the dishes. ;;)
"I'm sorry for bumping into you. I should of watched where I was going instead of talking. I'm sorry agai-" she stopped. She saw a bright light. 'It must be...' she looked up. "Syaoran..." she stared into his Amber eyes.
Syaoran
'Turns out looking for Sakura was easier then I thought. I just bumped into her. She's staring too. Is something on my face?'
End of Syaoran
"Sakura! Sorry I bumped into you!" he said. Sakura woke up from her daze.
"Oh...Uh... that's okay. Were you looking for me or was it just a coincidence?"
'How did she know?'
"Umm...you guys are going to breakfast? Mind if I kinda tag along?" he asked, looking at Tomoyo. He had a "please-say-yes-this-is-important" look on his face. Tomoyo got the clue.
"Sure. I'm Tomoyo." she held out her hand. Syaoran took it. "I'm Syaoran Li. Just call me Li." he shook her hand.
Food Court
"Um...I think I'll pay for my own breakfast. Thanks a lot though." Tomoyo wanted to pay for his breakfast also. But he was rich enough to pay for his own. Tomoyo wasn't the only one who was rich. (A/N: Don't ask why he's rich. There isn't really an explanation. Just like in CCS or CC the first movie. Not really an explanation why. Wait, is he really rich in the anime? I just knew he came from a clan in Hong Kong...hey...I've been to Hong Kong!)
Sakura got her pancakes, and Tomoyo got her breakfast, along with Syaoran's omelette with chocolate milk. (A/N: figures...)
After breakfast, Tomoyo bid goodbye to Sakura. It was because Sakura had no interest in getting a book to some fancy owner of a designer's store.
"Bye Sakura! I'll tell you what happens okay?" Tomoyo waved.
"Bye!" Sakura turns to Syaoran. "Um...Syaoran?" Syaoran looked up. "Yeah?"
"Do you mind me calling you by your real name? I mean I keep on calling you your real name. I'm just not used to calling you Li."
"Sure." he didn't mind or less yet recognize that she was calling him Syaoran not Li.
"Hey Sakura?"
"Hmm?"
"There's a reason I came here."
"What's that?"
"Remember about last night? About the stalker?"
"You mean the bad guy?"
"Um, yeah. You can put it that way. Well, yesterday when I turned him into the authorities, I told a lie saying that he was a burglar, trying to rob a house."
"Yeah, go on."
"And they told me that they wanted to know exactly who was the guy stalking. I told them it was you and they said they needed you downtown. But don't worry, it should be just for evidence or something. Just to make sure that I'm not trying to frame someone or just making the whole story up."
Sakura nodded and smiled. "I understand. So do we leave now?"
Syaoran thought for a moment. "Well, you don't seem to be doing anything, since Tomoyo left. So yeah, why not?" he stood up. "Come on."
"So we're gonna walk?"
"It shouldn't be so hard to catch a taxi silly."
"Oh. Right." Sakura blushed with embarrassment. Syaoran smiled of this. It was funny. To him that is.
"Taxi!" a taxi came down the road from the main entrance of the mall. "Downtown please."
As they were riding Sakura stared at the paying meter. (A/N: I don't know what that thing is called. Just call it the "paying meter" for now.)
Sakura looked at Syaoran. "Who's paying?" she whispered. She didn't want the driver to hear.
"I will. What? Do you want to pay?" he smirked. 'What's with the smirk?' Sakura thought frowning.
"No. I'm just wondering."
The cost wasn't expensive at all. Just about ten dollars for the total cost. That of which was barely anything out of Syaoran's pocket.
"Do you want me to pay you back?"
"Umm...you can pay for the ice-cream that I'm going to get later on." Sakura glared.
"Ice cream!" Syaoran smiled. "Don't worry, it won't be more then ten dollars."
Police Station
Not much really happened at the police station. Sakura told the truth and said that he was stalking her and they just made her sign some papers and they left. Even though Sakura kinda freaked out when the stalker or kidnapper was glaring at her with really scary eyes that totally made Sakura want to hide behind something...or someone. And she did. The person glared at her and she hid behind Syaoran, who had a puzzled face when she was hiding. The bad guy was kind of stubborn and really freaky and crazy and stared at her with an even more deadly stare. This made Sakura feel guilty.
Nearby ice-cream shop
"One chocolate and..." Syaoran turned to Sakura. "What about you?" Sakura looked up gloomily. "Anything."
Syaoran shrugged. "And a vanilla please."
The man handed Syaoran the ice-cream. "Total cost comes to nine dollars and eight cents."
Sakura handed the man the ten dollars and the man gave back change. Sakura looked up at the man. She pointed at Syaoran. "Give it to him. It's his." she said like she was dead or something. The man blinked and handed the change to Syaoran. 'Weird girl...' the man thought when he handed the change to Syaoran.
Syaoran gave Sakura her ice-cream and dug into his. He looked at Sakura. He looked at the ice-cream. Sakura was not responding. And...
plop!
The ice-cream fell on the floor, with Sakura holding the cone. Syaoran wondered what was wrong. He waved his hand in Sakura's face.
"What's wrong?" he asked politely. Sakura responded in a sigh.
"Hello?" he asked again.
"Sakura? You just wasted like what? Four dollars and fifty cents? The money just fell on the floor." Syaoran thought being sarcastic would earn a response. Tough luck. But it did manage to make Sakura look up.
"I feel so guilty...the way that creep stared and glared at me."
Syaoran smirked, remembering the time that he had stared at Sakura when he first saw her.
"Like I did?"
"No. Your's glare wasn't as negative as his. It really makes me feel guilty..." Tears started to well up in her eyes. Syaoran felt sorry for her.
"Hey, hey, hey! It's not your fault. The guy's just not happy about the consequences and is trying to make you feel guilty by giving you this glare. Just try to ignore it! It's his fault. He got himself into this mess don't forget."
"Yeah but the way he glared at me he-" Syaoran didn't stop.
"He had no business of getting you to feel this way!" he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. He stared deep into her eyes. "Don't worry. He's gone and gone forever. Try to get over it!" Sakura stared deep into his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Thanks. I don't know what I could of done without you that night."
"Don't mention it." he took his hands off her shoulder. He started to wonder where his ice-cream went. He looked down.
"Oh no!" his ice-cream had his shirt all brown and mucky. Not to mention sticky.
Sakura giggled. "At least mine fell on the floor!" she cracked up even more when he saw Syaoran stand up tugging on his shirt. Then she remembered her sweater.
"Here Syaoran! Change into this." she showed him the sweater. Then she realized something. The sweater wasn't hers, but her brothers. Touya must of left it there somehow.
"Thanks." he ran into the bushes behind a tree to change since there was no restroom around the park where they were eating.
Even though Syaoran was hiding behind a tree, Sakura could still see him. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help it. 'Wow...' she wondered.
When she saw Syaoran come back outside, she blushed and looked away. Syaoran saw this and blushed at the same time. Then he glared.
"Wow. You are a big peeker Sakura." Sakura glared back at him playfully.
"Who asked you!" Syaoran smiled. He looked at his watch. "Hmm...it's getting late. Let's go home now huh? I'll pay if you give me a day to return the sweater back to you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay. Let's go then." they walk to the corner of the street and called for a taxi.
The driver dropped Sakura off first, and Syaoran bid her good bye. Then Syaoran was dropped off and he thanked the driver and handed him the money.
Syaoran's new house.
"Li! You're back!" Della greeted him when he entered.
"Hey kid. Remember yesterday? When I talked to you about stamina?"
Syaoran nodded. "Well, I think you have enough stamina for now. Because it's the best I've seen."
Della came over and sat down next to Hank. "Li. We're afraid to tell you this, but we're going to have to leave you." Syaoran's eyes went wide open. "What!"
"You see, we've adopted many children. And we let them all go once we think their ready."
"So you were just training me!" Hank nodded. "We once had a child. He was just like you. But one night, he was kidnaped and killed." Della started to cry a bit. Hank wrapped his arms around her.
"We were depressed. But we couldn't let that slow down our daily life. So we dedicated our lives and extra time to train teens and children to protect themselves."
"But you saw that I had training. Why do you have to train me?"
"People who train doesn't mean that they always get it. We wanted to make sure you understood and you did."
"And what you did last night proved it all." Syaoran went wide-eyed.
"You know what I did? You know the truth!"
"Yes. It was wrong, but reasonable. Either of us would of done or in this case, said the same thing." Hank nodded. "You'll be leaving in an hour. Start packing kid. And remember us."
Syaoran nodded. He went upstairs and packed then came downstairs.
"Syaoran." Syaoran realized that he wasn't called by "Li" anymore. "Yeah?"
"Have one last home dinner before you go." Della said, holding up a plate full of Chinese dishes. Syaoran smiled. "I'd love to."
He sat down and ate. He was quite impressed that people like them could actually make Chinese food.
After dinner it was time to go. The people had come to take him. He turned to Hank and Della.
"Thank You sir. You've taught me a lot."
"Sure thing kid." he shakes Syaoran's hand and pats his shoulder. "It was nice workin' with ya."
Syaoran gave Della a hug. Della hugged him back and gave him a kiss on the cheeks. "We'll miss you. And be good with your new guardian."
"And remember, if your new guardian harasses you, just call or tell us and we'll tell them what to do next time."
"Right. And remember to come by and visit anytime."
Syaoran smiled and left.
In the car
'I'm starting to feel like a traveler. Moving from one place to another.'
"Okay kid. We got your new home down and we're taking you there right now."
"Okay."
The ride was short since the house was nearby.
"Okay, here we are kid. We're going to wait here until you give us an okay sign to show everything's okay. Got that?"
"Got it." he turned around to see what house. He almost fainted to see who's house it was.
"No way..."
Ohohen: Hi! Boy, this chapter was nine pages! Way longer then the others! Well, I think you kinda know what's gonna happen next. But hey, it's a good story right? Well, review! Oh, and thanks to the people who reviewed before! I'll try to update some more. Or in this case, I'm always updating, once I get done typing. So I really should type faster huh? And I think some part of the chapter kind of get's boring and wrong. Please excuse it. I was starting to get lazy at the time.
And if you find any grammar or spelling mistakes, try to ignore them...please?
