Chapter 4
The Chinese Trouble Maker meets The Over Protective Brother…
The last bell finally rang as the students rushed out of the classroom, eager to get out of school grounds. Sakura gathered her things as quickly as her weakened body would allow her. Tomoyo and the girls didn't have her last class, which was just great for her. She couldn't last any longer under Tomoyo's worry-filled stares. She knew that Tomoyo was starting to suspect something. Guilt was stating to nag at her from the back of her mind. Sighing deeply, she heaved her things and left to drop them in her locker. After some enormous amount of effort, she finally made it to her locker, which so happened to be two floors above her. 'Why the heck did I get assigned this locker!' she thought hotly as she fumbled to turn her lock. The books she carried weighed a ton on her weak form. After struggling to get all her stuff into the locker, she pulled out her thick history book and a white binder with a sakura blossom painted on the cover. As she made her way towards the school entrance, she caught sight of the brat. He sat there with that guitar in his arms and his bag in the floor next to him. A lit cigarette hung loosely in his lips. Trying her hardest to hold in her irritation, she strode towards him with her head held high, trying to look as strong as possible. Her bag and books weighed her down, but she refused to show it…. especially not to him.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Kinomoto girl walking towards him. A mischievous smile crept its way onto his face. He slid off from his spot on the wall and made his way to her, leaving his things. He walked slowly, taking his time. He wasn't in a hurry. The smoke from the burning tip of the cigarette danced around him. He was quite oblivious to the fact that Sakura was struggling to keep her books and bag from falling.
"So partner, what will we be doing this afternoon?" Syaoran asked with false enthusiasm. The stench from the cigarette was strong in his breath…unfortunately for Sakura; she couldn't cover her nose, not wanting to risk her books.
"My house…now!" she hissed. She walked pass him, trying to avoid the fumes from the cigarette. This was just not her day.
He stared after her for a few seconds before following. Swooping down he grabbed his things and followed her around the corner.
"So, Kinomoto, where are walking?" Syaoran asked the girl only a few paces ahead of him. She completely ignored him though, only speeding up her pace. When they turned the next corner, Syaoran noticed a sleek midnight back Toyota parked in front of a local mailbox. He was about to ask something when…-
"Watch out!"
- …a fist came in contact with his jaw…hard. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the sidewalk with his things scattered all over and staring up at a very angry teen.
"What are you doing with my sister!" a wild-eyed Touya yelled. He seemed to have taken a fighting stance in the process.
Syaoran was tenderly rubbing his jaw. "What the heck is your freaking problem?" he asked angrily. 'Geez…now that really hurt!' unfortunately for Syaoran, what Touya said hadn't quite sunken in. Touya's red face got even redder…if that was even possible. With a shaking fist he took Syaoran by the shirt, forcing him to his feet. Drawing back his free arm, he readied himself to throw another bone crushing punch as Syaoran struggled to loosen the wacko's grip on his shirt.
"No! Touya don't! Let him GO! I need him alive!"
Touya's fierce eyes immediately snapped towards Sakura's own. She stood shakily beside his car, heavy books in hand. Syaoran took this opportunity to pull his shirt out of his grip and took up a fighting stance as well. His stubborn amber eyes staring fiercely at Touya, challenging him to try that stunt again.
"Sakura, who is this…gaki? What are you doing with him?" Touya asked as he strode over to her, leaving Syaoran there dumbfounded. He roughly took hold of her arm, momentarily forgetting about her status. Sakura winced as her brother shook her as he asked her the questions. Touya immediately let her go.
"He's my classmate and my partner for my school project since Tomoyo already had one!"
Touya glanced back at the boy and glared. Syaoran was kneeling on the concrete, checking his guitar for any damages. Noticing that Touya was glaring at him he glared back. Touya let out a growl before saying through gritted teeth "Get in the car." Touya got into the driver's seat and slammed his door shut.
Sakura opened the back door and slid in, leaving the door open for the brat. Syaoran soon followed her example making the tension in the car thick enough to cut with a butter knife. His guitar sat in between the two, which worked fine for Sakura. This way, the brat couldn't see her, and by now she was almost drained of energy. She still felt the after effect of her treatment…and she was not enjoying it one bit. After at least twenty minutes drive, they finally arrived at the Kinimoto's residence. Sakura quietly got out and went straight in the house.
"I'm home!" she shouted.
"Welcome back sweetie. How was your day?" Sakura's dad walked out the kitchen wearing an apron with a beater in his left hand. A smile graced his face, as always, when he greeted her. Sakura's heart faltered as she looked upon her father. She knew that this was really hard for him. She averted her eyes, so not to cry. "Uh…I have a classmate over for a project. Is it ok?"
"It's fine with me sweetie. So…where is this classmate of yours?" her dad said as he looked around expectantly.
"Huh?" Sakura said a little bit confused. Then it hit her like a high speed built…hard and fast. "Oh no…" The color completely drained from her face as dread washed over her. Her things dropped on the floor, forgotten for that moment.
"What is it sweetie?"
"Daddy…Touya…" was all she had o say to send both bodies flying out the door to come face to face with the sight of Touya and Syaoran strangling each other on the ground. Syaoran's things once again sprawled all over.
