Loathsome Love
A/N- heehee… I need to explain why Eriol goes to school with Sakura. Okay, since their high school is like really small, it's mixed with a college (fictional, I know :sigh:), and in this fic, Eriol goes to a Japanese school…and his best friend is Syaoran who invited him to the finding princess thing. XD :sweatdrop: heh…
Eriol- Yes, the princess will be SAKURA!
Syaoran- :growl:
Disclaimer:

8. Kisses and Confusion
"Syaoran…" she said breathlessly into the air. "Thanks for dancing with me…"
"You look really beautiful tonight…" he whispered into her year as she blushed.
The last song halted to a stop and Syaoran leaned in for a kiss. For a second, their lips brushed against each other until Sakura realized what she was doing.
She broke away from him and ran upstairs to her room. 'What've I done?' she frantically pranced around her room, then touched her lips. Even though it was only for about 1.8 seconds, the kiss was still good. It was like they were soul mates –Sakura sighed and hit her head on the top of the TV. No! They weren't 'soul mates'! They hated each other! She hated him! He hated her!
She grunted in confusion as she lay down on her bed to sleep.
Back in the ballroom, Yelan was watching in surprise and horrification. Her son- her cold, not wanting to marry son- had just kissed the Kinomoto girl. She smiled in satisfaction. Her son fell in love!
Syaoran groaned as Eriol nudged him and asked, "Where's Sakura Li, eh?"
Tomoyo flushed and squealed as she videotaped the two, "I got it on tape!!! How kawaii!!!!" Syaoran looked quite angry when she said that.
"Hmph… I h-h-hate her!" he stumbled on his own words. "Get that thing away from me!" he ordered Tomoyo as she frowned and turned the videotape off.
"Well, Syaoran, where'd she go?" Tomoyo asked, scanning the room for Sakura.
"How should I know!" he raged, flushing in fury. Tomoyo shrugged and went off, as Eriol and Syaoran were walking to their room.
"Dude, you are so in love," Eriol rolled his eyes at Syaoran.
"I wouldn't be talking. Look at you and Daidouji…" Syaoran snorted.
"Still, we're talking about you. You're in love and you know it!" Eriol nudged Syaoran playfully.
He growled, "I do not!"
-----
"Do too!" a hyper Tomoyo screamed in joy.
"Do not!" Sakura threw a pillow at Tomoyo, but she dodged just in time.
"Do too! See, watch this!" Tomoyo inserted the tape in the VCR player. A scene appeared. Syaoran and Sakura were dancing… they leaned in…
"TOMOYO! TURN THAT OFF!" Sakura whined and ran to the TV to turn it off. But the image caught her eye. Their lips touched… for a fragile moment, Sakura wanted to see more. But her hand wasn't willing to do so. With a click, the screen went black.
Tomoyo hurried to the TV, toothbrush still on her teeth. She clicked on the power button.
"Girl, if you don't watch, I sware I will get Fujitaka and tell him that you want to marry Syaoran." Tomoyo threatened. Sakura sighed as she backed away on the bed and watched the scene. She planted her hand firmly in the mattress as she saw herself run from the ballroom, all eyes staring at her (like a Cinderella story ). The video suddenly went to another scene, where Syaoran and Eriol were standing.
"Where's Sakura Li, eh?" a playful Eriol nudged Syaoran on the screen.
"I got it on tape!!! How kawai!!!!" a cheerful voice exclaimed. It was Tomoyo, as far as Sakura could tell.
"Hmph… I h-h-hate her!" Syaoran said, turning red. "Get that thing away from me!" and the video ended.
"OooooOoOo! Sakura-chan! There's a secret couple in the midst of this Kingdom!" Tomoyo teased as she finished rinsing her mouth.
Sakura stared blankly at the TV screen and muttered, "Tomoyo, I'm going to sleep."

Syaoran stared into the darkness as he was snuggled in his bed. A chill came to the window as he shivered and climbed out and shut the window.
"Hey, knock it off!" Eriol muttered and went back to sleep. Syaoran sat on his bed, his amber eyes staring out the window. 15 dreadful years ago, his father died.
-flashback-
"Daddy! Daddy! Please, can we go to the park?" a young boy with messy hair pleaded a big man who was his father.
"Son, I'm sort of busy-"
He was cut off by the whiny 5-year-old, "Please? I really want to go!"
The man chuckled and gave in, "All right"
They went outside and his dad got into the car.
After driving for about 5 minutes, the little boy started to sleep in the backseat. The father looked in the front mirror and sighed at the cute youngster. When…
BAM!
Another car had crashed into his! He went flying forward as his seatbelt couldn't support him. He died of this car crash.
It was his fault.
-end flashback-
Syaoran sighed. It was sad to think of his father. He himself didn't get hurt at all, while his father died of the impact.
Eriol scrunched his eyes at Syaoran and moaned, "Bud, go to sleep will ya?"
Syaoran obeyed and crept into his green bed (teehee, the future King of green!) and thought of the events that happened earlier during the day. The thoughts of Sakura's joyful face ceased him to sleep in the midst of the night.

"HELEN!" a voice yelled for the maid.
"Yes, Princess MeiLing?" the maid cowered in fear.
"Get me some MORE SOAP!" she spat in the maid's elderly face.
"But Princess, you've used 6 bars this morn-"
"SHUT UP AND GET MORE SOAP!" MeiLing slapped the dear maid's face as she growled angrily (wow, MeiLing's pretty demanding).
Today was the day! She sighed as she pictured Syaoran and her walking in the gardens, kissing, holding hands. No, that Kinomoto scum wouldn't have him if she tried. Today was the day MeiLing would get all she ever wanted.
"I always get what I want," MeiLing sniffed in prissiness as she covered bathed once more and covered herself with perfume.

"Today, girls" Yelan started to announce. The girls weren't paying attention to her anymore. "TODAY WILL BE THE DAY WE PICK THE TOP TEN!" That certainly got the princesses' attentions. The auditorium filled with silence as they awaited for the results.
"THE RESULTS WILL BE SHOWN ON THE BOARD HERE!" Yelan roared as the girls filled the room with squeals.
Sakura scanned the board… No surprise, she was 1st place.
With a groan, she buried her face into her arms. Great…
"Sakura Kinomoto, you may move into your new room with Syaoran."
WHAT?!?!?!
