A/N: I really have to stop putting up a chapter per two months. Really sorry for the late update! I'm having a bit of writer's block at the moment, so excuse me if this is a little not up-to-standard.
CherryFreakyFunK: Meh, they're kind of together, yet kind of not together, you know what I mean?
Cherrysinger: Yeah, you're right, she said she loved him, but in chapter 6, she never said or felt that she was still mad at him. She only said they weren't friends to shut him up.

Stuck With You
By: Lotus Dreams
Chapter 7: My Sassy Girl
"WHY - THE - HELL - ARE - YOU - HERE - DO - YOU - KNOW - HOW - LONG - WE'VE - SPENT - TRYING - TO - FIND - YOU - "
"Well you can stop using the pillow to sock me every time you say a word!" Syaoran yelled crossly. "AUGH!"
"YOU WERE HERE ALL ALONG AND - "
"It's your own fault you were too stupid to look in the room we were staying in!"
"YOU - UNAWARE - WHILE - EVERYONE'S - WORRYING - YOU - LITTLE - BASTARD - "
"MY GOD! Can you stop with the beatings already!"
"NO!" howled Sakura. "DO - YOU - HAVE - ANY - IDEA - HOW - DAMN - WORRIED - I WAS ABOUT - YOU?" She threw the pillow violently one last time at his head. "Everyone's looking for you - "
"Wait...did you just say you were worried about me?"
Sakura froze. Did I just say that out loud?
"...Um...ah...er..."
"So you do care about me!" said Syaoran delightedly.
"Oh, shut up!" growled Sakura. "Your arrogance is astounding."
"You just said so yourself - 'do you have any idea how damn worried I was about you?' Hehe. Oh that is gold! I was here all along and everyone was actually looking for me? Thinking I was lost?" Syaoran doubled over with laughter. "Man, I should have been there!"
"Li - Syaoran - I am warning you..."
"Stop lying...you know you care...you just don't want to admit it..."
Sakura finally gave up. She threw the pillow aside, flopped onto the bed, and said, "Yeah, you're right, I don't want to admit it, but I was worried when you left."
"And of course, saying that we still weren't friends right after confessing your undying and unwithering love for me is also fake," said Syaoran hopefully.
"Nice try, but no." Syaoran was crestfallen. She still...? Then, Sakura sat up, and upon seeing how seriously Syaoran was taking it, she laughed. "You baka! I was only kidding."
"You sounded pretty serious when you said that this morning," said Syaoran crossly.
"I probably did, didn't I?" said Sakura lightly. "Well, I'm not saying I'm happy to admit it, but I was only saying it to shut you up."
"You mean going on about you just won't admit you like my body?"
Sakura's expression immediately turned stormy. "Just because I admitted I was worried about you when I couldn't find you, and that I was only trying to shut you up doesn't mean that I like your body."
"Yes it does. You just won't admit it."
Then, exasperated and mad, she elbowed him in the face with all the strength she had left.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! What are you, crazy, woman?"
After a bit, Sakura went to Terada-sensei, and the search was called off. She waited gleefully outside Terada-sensei's room as she heard him shouting and yelling at Syaoran, about how "irresponsible" he was, and that he should have "not stayed so quiet" inside his room. After waiting outside for about forty-five minutes, Syaoran came out in an extremely bad mood, but his mood was practically nothing compared to that of Terada-sensei. "Go back to your room," he said as calmly as he could, pointing Sakura and Syaoran towards the exit. As they left, they could hear him muttering about his reputation, and waste of time, etc...
On the elevator, Syaoran sighed, not looking angry anymore. "Well, I'm glad that's over," he said casually.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Yeah, and now everyone else will be mad at you for wasting their time. Although there really isn't anything interesting about sitting in a boat doing nothing, frankly."
They reached their room without much incident (aka no violence), but both were as bored as hell. It was 9:00 pm, and Syaoran and Sakura weren't sleepy, but they had nothing to do. Both of them spent a lot of time sprawled onto their respective beds. Then, Sakura spotted something.
"Hey, there's something on top of the TV," Sakura said. She got up, walked over, and picked it up. Immediately her expression brightened. "Hey, it's My Sassy Girl!" she said excitedly.
"My what?" Syaoran demanded.
"My Sassy Girl - it's a really good Korean movie I saw a couple of years ago. Hmm, I never knew it was here..."
"Sassy?"
"Yeah. Basically, a guy named Gyun-woo meets a beautiful but incredibly drunk girl - but we don't know her name - at a subway station, and being the nice guy he is, he checks her into a motel. And then - "
" - They fall in love, big deal."
"Well, basically, yeah. But she always hits him and likes to play little violent games, and plus, there's this really cute scene where she makes him wear high heels and chase her - "
"Man, this guy must be pathetic. Sounds like a chick flick." Sakura glared at him.
"It's a funny movie!" Syaoran yawned.
"Yes, a funny movie with probably lots of 'cute romantic fluffy adorable kissing scenes' - "
"Hey, it's one of my all-time favourites," Sakura warned.
"So what?"
"That means it's good."
"No way. Remember a couple of years back, you told me to watch some tearjerker American movie?"
"Titanic?"
"Yeah, that. My GOD, that was the scariest thing I ever saw! And, it was PG-13, and I'm pretty positive that we sure as hell weren't thirteen back then."
"How can you say Titanic is scary? That was a good movie! I cried through like, half of it!" Syaoran snorted.
"You girls. Bottom line - I'm not watching 'My Sappy Girl'."
"SASSY!"
"Whatever. Besides, I don't understand Korean."
"It has Japanese subtitles, moron."
"I don't care."
"I bet that once you watch it, you're gonna like it."
"No way."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"No really."
"I bet that if I watch it, I'll fall asleep before the ending."
"Deal." Sakura put the DVD into the DVD player, and pressed PLAY.
Syaoran was bored for the first couple of minutes, but he had to admit, it was really funny when the 'sassy girl' was being incredibly impolite to some person on the subway. He was slightly intrigued by the movie, but only ever so slightly. He kept thinking, that Gyun-woo guy is so pathetic. I mean, that girl's so friggin' violent to him yet he still likes her? And we still don't know her damn name!
Then came the part where the guy and girl were on the subway, and were playing the slapping game. Syaoran snorted when the pack of army dudes stepped over the line, and he winced every time she hit him so hard on the face.
Sakura said, "Ouch."
Syaoran pointed at the sassy girl and said, "That's you. Only she's a lot more attractive that how you look."
That remark earned him a punch.
When the movie was finished, Syaoran was snoring. He fell asleep at the part where they buried their letters to each other under the tree - he just couldn't take mushy scenes. He was rudely woken up by Sakura, who was looking at him, annoyed.
"Well?" she demanded. "What do you think of the movie?"
"It sucked."
"You're only saying that because you wanna win the bet."
"Nuh-uh. I did win, anyway, I was asleep before you woke me."
"But you liked it."
"Okay, I liked the violent bits," Syaoran admitted, "And that crazy carnival guy with the gun, but that was it. But, I still fell asleep."
"But, you said you liked some of it."
"But, I fell asleep."
"Oh, fine, you win."
Syaoran grinned. "What do I win?"
"I dunno."
"Okay...well...um...can you tell me something?"
"Depends."
"You're not mad at me, are you?"
"No! I think we settled that when we were stranded in the middle of nowhere."
Syaoran gave her a light playful shove on the shoulder. Light. "So that means you love me right?"
There was a pause. Sakura said, "Maybe."
Syaoran was exasperated. "MAYBE? AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED - "
"Relax, baka," said Sakura, annoyed. "Alright. I still do."
"Still what?"
Oh, great, now's he trying to force me to say it? "You know what."
"No, I don't, tell me."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Oh, fine, yes, I still love you."
"See, isn't that easier?"
"Not as easy as this!"
Then she gave a playful shove back.
Hard.
"I wanna go take a shower now," said Sakura mildly, while Syaoran cursed and swore, rubbing his shoulders. "Ja." And she left for the bathroom, leaving Syaoran alone in his pain.
Still, after he heard the sound of the shower on in the bathroom, Syaoran couldn't help but grin. "My sassy girl," he said, shaking his head and laughing.
Yup, there's the end of chapter 7! I think I'll be finishing it in either one or two chapters...REVIEW!
