Chapter 5:- Disaster Date part II
' what went wrong? One minute I see Syaoran laughing his head off and the next thing i know he's giving me the cold shoulder again ' Sakura sighed.
" I thought i told you to stop fidgeting !" Syaoran said with a glare.
"And i told you stop breathing Li! What is your problem anyway!" Sakura shouted.
"Well I'm looking at it right now !" Syaoran yelled back.
"Excuse me?"
"Are you turning deaf ? you heard what I said !"
"How am I the problem ?"
"You took away the clow cards and You just embarrassed me in front of my family THAT'S my problem!" Syaoran said with a dark glare.
"Hey, I defeated Yue and won fair and square ! " Sakura said.
"Yeah well try being brought up all your life telling the cards belong to you only to end up losing all of them to some naive dense little bint !"
" Excuse me your royal pain in the ass, you haven't been through half the things i did ! Do you know how much I needed you back then?" Sakura said glaring.
"Needed me to what? Gloat that the cards are all yours?" Syaoran muttered narrowing his eyes.
"No piss-for-brains ! When all the cards were captured I had to transform all of them into Sakura cards! Do you have any idea how much i wished for you to be there to help me ? "
"I...um ..."
"Of course not! You were too busy being an asshole to actually care about that ! I just don't want to talk anymore about this Li, so just shut up " Sakura yelled and turned away.
Syaoran noticed that her eyes were glazed and were shining oddly. She was about to cry.
Years of fighting off Meilin had taught him to recognize the deadly signs.
The trembling lower lip
The widened eyes to hold off the tears
The periodic injured sniff
Yes she was about to engage in that ritual where she'd bawl her eyes out in a tidal wave of tears and banshee-like wails, while pounding herself mindlessly against the car door in anguish, and cursing heaven and hell...
Ok, so maybe she wasn't going to do ALL that, but she was definitely about to cry and he was the one responsible for it.
'oh jolly great, i'm on a fucking guilt trip ' Syaoran thought rolling eyes.
"Stop crying." Syaoran ordered.
Wrong thing to say, this made Sakura sniff some more.
Not knowing what else to do, he went and sat beside her and awkwardly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and sat somewhat stiffly. "I'm sorry " he patted her back in a mechanical sort of way.
"I-I shouldn't have gone off to China like that " Syaoran said .
"Damn right, you freaking sod " Sakura said sniffing.
Syaoran's eyebrow twitched at the insult "And, um, you should stop crying now, because it's rather unattractive and it'll make your eyes puffy and sore and you're getting my shirt wet now if you don't mind and-"
Sakura shrugged him away and went to sit in the other corner "You're not very good at this are you?" she muttered bitterly.
Syaoran just raised an eyebrow "Yeah well I don't get much practice with my kind of lifestyle."
Sakura looked at him in an odd way. "You live with 4 sisters, your mother and Meilin . You should've known how to do this by now ! "
" Living with them can only make you end up in tears, so you'd only convince yourself not to run off wailing like a banshee " Syaoran said rolling his eyes.
Sakura laughed hearing this and Syaoran shot her a grin in return.
" What's wrong with your hair?" Syaoran suddenly asked frowning.
Sakura looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"What's wrong with your hair?" He repeated in exactly the same tone.
Sakura raised a hand self-consciously to her head. "Nothing, why?"
"Oh, nothing." He said quickly and looked away.
If that was a trick to try and get her paranoid about her hair, well, it was working. Sakura kept looking at the glass window hoping she could see her hair's reflection in it.
Syaoran smirked and suppressed the urge to laugh ' If she keeps this up, she'll turn vain in no time '
Just then the driver decided to turn up. They fixed the car and headed straight to the mansion.
Syaoran and Sakura went into the hallway, this is were they need to go separate ways to their rooms.
Syaoran turned towards her and smirked " It was an interesting date "
Sakura raised an eyebrow "Yup, getting stranded in the Limo was an once in a life time experience "
Syaoran smirked a lot wider " Good night Sakura "
Sakura smiled " Good night, oh and Syaoran? "
"yes?" Syaoran asked .
"I know you tricked me with that hair comment and I'll get you back for it you toad ! " she said grinning.
" Bring it on you stubborn cow! " Syaoran said grinning back
" Insubordinate jackass! "
" Psychotic bitch! "
"Stupid ..." Both Sakura and Syaoran broke off to stare at the coughing Camera man in bewilderment.
The camera man just looked at them clearly annoyed " I really need to wrap up the episode of your date, so would you mind ending your squabble and go to sleep already !"
Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other and laughed "Geez, what bee went up your ass?" Syaoran said smirking and Sakura giggled.
The camera man looked more annoyed than before.
Syaoran rolled his eyes and muttered something about ' freaks with no humor sense' . Sakura and Syaoran went to their rooms wearing a faint grin on their face.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
The next day the last five girls departed on their date with Syaoran, excited about going to a small village. They returned, smiling happily, and one of them was squawking in delight. "Oh, my, gosh," she yelled happily. "Girls, he made out with me!"
Sakura rolled her eyes, they are too pathetic . The familiar squeal and the happy dance was getting on her nerves and were rather boring.
Just then Shiefa Liang walked in with a broad smile. "Girls," she said quietly. "It's time for the second rose ceremony."
An immediate silence followed the announcement, and the girls followed Shiefa into the next room.
Syaoran stood there near a pile of freshly cut roses. Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes as he began the usual speech"This has been the most difficult decision so far. All of you are wonderful women..."
Sakura saw him sneak a glance at her and she stuck out her tongue. It was immature, she thought to herself, but he was bull shitting his way through so many women.
Syaoran picked up the first rose confidently and spoke. "Kasumi" he said slowly.
Kasumi smiled and went up to accept the rose. Similarly, Syaoran made his way through many other girls, which, to consisted of Naoko, Airo, Susan and Kourin among them.
Finally he was down to the last rose. Ryoko was holding her breath, and Sakura almost felt sorry for her. She knew Syaoran wasn't about to pick the 'puke green skin tight thing ' wearing girl, as he called her.
Sakura's name hadn't been called and to her surprise, her heartbeat had intensified. She wanted to stay here, she wanted to get back at Syaoran for pulling that stunt yesterday.Big time.
After what seemed the longest pause, Syaoran quietly said, " Sakura."
Smirking, Sakura went up and accepted the rose, although she did back out of the customary hug. Oh, Syaoran, she thought revengefully, you have just made a big mistake. You are really in for something.
Syaoran gave her a challenging look and smirked.
' You'll understand why revenge is sweet my Syaoran-Kun. ' Sakura thought smiling.
Suddenly her smile faltered a bit ' My Syaoran Kun? where did that come from ?' she thought frowning slightly.
lllllllllllllllllllll
Sakura lay awake, plotting revenge against Syaoran. She had to get him back, of course, but the question was, how? Embarrassing him on public television was quite easy, but it just wasn't that appealing.
' Maybe...ooooh..yes ! That's the perfect plan ! ' Sakura thought .
She smiled wickedly as she felt her eyes closing. Perhaps this trip wasn't all that bad.
The next day, Sakura was rudely awakened by a smiling Naoko ." Get up, sleepy head " she commanded." Shiefa's telling us what'll happen and stuff in ten minutes. "
Sakura groaned and rolled over. " Can't you just tell me afterwards?" she said, moaning into her pillow.
"No! We won't have time to come up. Anyway, I think she's telling us who's going on the next date and such."
Sakura rolled out of bed and stomped her way to the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she emerged, wearing a simple pink t-shirt and a black stretch .Her hair let loose.
She liked to think she was balancing it all out from all the gold-diggers around her.
When she reached the living room, it was abuzz with hormonal activity. Girls were shrieking and squealing as usual, but Sakura couldn't see any reason for them to be.
" What's going on? " she asked Kasumi, who was standing next to her.
" Oh Sakura! You have to see this! Omigosh! " Kasumi said, eyes sparkling. Yup, she's still has her inner drama queen .
Before Sakura could ask anything Kasumi thrust something into her hands.
Sakura realized that she was holding a stack of photographs." Whose pictures are these? " she asked warily. No way in hell she was looking at something these girls were so crazy about, what if it was Syaoran naked or something?
She wouldn't put it past these girls, they would do anything!
" They're Syaoran's baby pictures! " Kasumi exclaimed happily. " Shiefa showed them to us and we've been passing them around. "
Sakura turned them over to be greeted by, in fact, a very naked three-year-old Syaoran in a tub smiling happily. In one hand he clutched a rubber duck and in the other hand a soap.
In spite of herself, Sakura had to laugh. " He's so Kawaii (cute)" she said. " What went wrong? "
Kasumi rolled her eyes. " No pretending to hate him, missy, " she said matter-of-factly. " We all know it's a tactic so come off it. "
Naoko smiled smugly and Sakura ignored them both. She sifted through Syaoran's pictures. He really had been a very, very cute kid.
Then she looked through the pictures when he was around eight. He was still smiling but it rather looked forced and his eyes were a bit cold and guarded.
'hmm... he has this change right after he was seven...I wonder why?' Sakura thought frowning.
Just then, Shiefa Liang waltzed into the room. " How'd you girls like the pictures? " she asked, smiling widely.
" We love them! " some chorused. Sakura shook her head in amazement. They sounded like a bunch of little kids talking to Santa Claus or something.
" Well " Shiefa continued. "Here's the plan for today."
Some of the girls were so excited that the pictures soon slid out of their hands and ended up on the floor. " Nothing's better than the real thing " one of the girls declared.
Sakura looked at the picture she was holding and saw it was the naked three-year-old Syaoran's picture.
She screwed her face in disgust and willed not to gag as she understood the innuendo of what the other girl said.
'What's worse? Being stuck with a piss-for-brain ass hole (Syaoran) or being stuck with a bunch of perverted Air heads?' Sakura thought sulkily.
