Hey! The last chapter was kind of short. Well, I'll try to make it longer this time…
Well, last chapter was a bit boring, slow moving, but it's going to get better
A Different Expression
Chapter 2
"Hey Li," Sakura greeted as she was him walking to school again like every other morning.
Syaoran turned around and saw it was Sakura and nodded.
Sakura smiled and skated passed him.
"Kinomoto… I sense something," Syaoran muttered to himself.
As Syaoran was about strolled to the bus stop just 10 meters in front of him, he heard Eriol's voice, so he quickly hid behind the nearest corner.
"So, Sakura, how are the cards? You treating them well?" Eriol asked.
"How did you know about the cards?" said the frightened Sakura.
"Oh, Sakura! You should know by now!"
Sakura closed her eyes and immediately sensed it. It's the strong force again…
"It's you! Clow Reed!" Sakura shouted.
But before she could say the Clow Reed part, Eriol covered her mouth with his hands.
"Shhhh!" Eriol whispered.
"Oh sorry…" Sakura smiled the innocent smile.
She was so happy to know Clow Reed was by her side.
At the same time, a boy with chestnut hair smirked, "so SHE is who I am looking for…"
Syaoran's apartment
Syaoran laid on his bed beside the huge window in his bedroom. He picked up the phone and dialled his mother's phone number.
Ring…
Ring…
"Is she here?" Syaoran thought, feeling a bit annoyed for he didn't have much patience.
"Hello."
"Hi, mother."
"Oh, how are you Xiao Lang?"
"Good, umm… I found her."
"Oh, really?" Yelan said in a surprising voice.
"Yes, but what do I do now? Just grab them?" Syaoran asked. (Ha, ha, remember that episode?)
"Noooooo! Of course not! The cards have senses now that she captured them all! They will return to her even if you grab them or steal them."
"Then what am I suppose to do?"
"Ummm… it's difficult, I know, but you have to do it in a gentle way, so that the cards will think you are their master."
"So what do I do?"
"I remember now! Your grandfather told me once that if she loves someone really much, the cards will fly to that person day by day!" (Remember Void?)
"But—"
"Yes, Xiao Lang you have to, and you know why."
"But, then what am I suppose to do? After I have all the cards?"
"Then you must break her heart Xiao Lang, I do not think there is another way!"
"Okay mother."
"Oh yes…what is her name?"
Syaoran felt that tangle and the lump caught in his throat.
"Sakura."
"You never call a girl by their first name Xiao Lang."
Syaoran just stared at the wall in front of him
"Oh, I just- I just- forgot… It's Sakura Kinomoto, mother."
"Okay, I have to go, you know what you are suppose to do?"
"Yes, mother, bye."
"Bye."
All Syaoran could do was sigh.
"WAKE UP, SAKURA!" Touya yelled.
"Huh? Hoe! It's 8!" Sakura shouted as she looked at the clock.
Sakura quickly got up and did everything and rushed out the door.
She put on her roller blades and hurried for school, but when she turned around the corner she tripped over something and…
"Ahhh!"
But someone caught her just in time…
"Thanks," Sakura said before she looked who was in front of her.
"You okay?"
Sakura looked up and stared.
"Are you sure you are okay?" the boy waved his hands over her face.
"It's you Li, thanks…" Sakura said but was still surprised.
"You can call me Syaoran."
"Oh…okay…"
"Oh well, got to go! Bye. You have to go too."
Sakura looked at her watch and looked horrified and skated to school as fast as she could.
Syaoran slowly walked behind her.
"Hey, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo looked at the hurried Sakura.
"Oh, I made it!" Sakura smiled.
"Yeah, you okay, Sakura? You look kind of weird…." Tomoyo asked in a concerned voice.
"Oh yeah, it's just that…never mind, it's nothing."
"Okay…"
Eriol came by and sat beside Sakura, "Hey, Sakura, how's things?"
"Good."
"Just be careful, okay?"
Sakura looked confused, "Alright…"
Sakura's house
Sakura stared at the ceiling as she sat on the floor.
"Why did he become so nice all of a sudden?" she thought.
The phone rang, and Sakura picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's me Syaoran."
Sakura looked frightened.
"Yeah."
"You okay? You sound scared…"
"Well, I'm- no, never minds."
"Umm…I just want to say I am sorry I was so mean to you, like before, can we just pretend we just met each other for the first time tomorrow morning…"
Now I am rrreeeaaalllly scared…"Suuree…"
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning, bye Sakura, you don't mind me calling you that right?"
"No, I guess not…"
"Okay, bye."
Sakura sweat dropped as she hang up.
She dialled Tomoyo's number and waited.
"Hi Tomoyo!"
"Oh, Hey Sakura-chan!"
"I am just very scared right now…""
"Why?"
"You know how you said I looked weird this morning?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm just scared of Syaoran."
"If he heard you, he would probably kill you right now…"
"He TOLD me to call him Syaoran, that's why I am scared."
"I would be too if I were you."
"And he just called me."
"I see why you are scared."
"He told me to act like tomorrow is the first day we met each other or something, I don't know…"
"Wow, you should call the police."
"This is no joke Tomoyo-chan! What should I do?"
"Okay Sakura, first you were trying to be his friend, so now that he wants to be your friend, I don't see there's anything wrong with that, it's just sudden, so just act like you normally do."
"He's trying to be my friend?"
Tomoyo sweat dropped…
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Oh, so what am I suppose to do again?"
"Act like you normally do," Tomoyo sighed.
"Okay, Touya is calling me, see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I don't like this…
Hey guys, how was it? I think it's better than the first chapter. R&R! Thanks.
