Chapter Four:
*Yawn* "Sakura, time to wake up.... Sakura... Sakura!!!!"
*Sigh* "I give up... she can sleep a little more today..." Kero mumbled. Then he flew into the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat.... "Hey, what am I doing! I don't use toilets." He quickly flew to the sink and began to brush his teeth.
*Five minutes later*
"CUPCAKES!!!!" Kero beamed as he picked up one of the cupcakes he had saved for today. While he was chewing happily on the pastry, he caught sight of the piece of paper with a phone number written on it. He grinned evilly.
Li Mansion:
*RING* *RING* .... *RING* *RING*
"Master Li, master Li wake up. I believe your cell phone is ringing."
Li groaned in his bed, then he scowled. "Where's my phone!"
"Right here sir." the elderly man quickly responded and handed his master the small cell phone.
"Hello!!!" Li barked into the phone.
"Hello!!!!" Kero's voice beamed into the phone with his mouth full of cupcake.
"What the hell! Who the hell are you! Calling me at 4:30 in the morning!" Li yelled.
"That's no way to greet a person in the morning!" Kero nonchalantly replied while chewing on his cupcakes and making pig sounds.
"That's how you greet someone 4:30 in the morning damnit!" Li yelled back.
"Hey, do you happen to like cupcakes?"
"WHAT!"
"Cupcakes! You know.... muffin like tasty objects with frosting on it?"
"What the hell! You stupid idiot! Don't ever call me again!" *Click*
*Ring* *Ring*
"Stop calling!!!!" Li screamed.
"You know.... hanging up on people isn't nice." Kero beckoned happily.
"What in the world is wrong with you! Do you have no life at all!" Li exclaimed.
"Technically speaking, I literally don't have a life." Kero informed carelessly.
"WELL GET ONE!!!" Lei barked with rage. Then he hung up again.
Sakura's home:
"Kero..... what were you doing?" Sakura asked once she had stepped down the stairs.
Kero dropped the phone. "Opps.... nothing...."
"Kero!!! Were you making prank calls in the morning!" Sakura asked angrily.
"Well..... you make it sound so bad.... I prefer to call it wake up calls." Kero answered sweetly.
*Sigh* "Give me the phone...."
Kero pouted and reluctantly gave her the phone. Sakura quickly pressed redial on the phone while scolding Kero, "Now we have to apologize!"
"What the hell do you want now!" the loud voice answered the ring.
Sakura jerked the phone from her ears. "His voice sounds so familiar..... *gasp* Kero!!! You called Li!!!!"
Kero smiled. "You're beginning to recognize your mission... impressive..."
Sakura glared at him and returned to the phone again.
"Hello......" Sakura's voice responded.
"What! It's a different person now eh?! Now what do YOU want to say? Cupcakes are delicious????!!!" Li yelled.
Sakura's eyebrow rose.
"I um....." Sakura began.
"Hey wait a minute....aren't you that girl.... you're.... um... what was her name...." Li mumbled.
"Sakura...."
"Yes yes. You! So now that you have my phone number, you decide to play tricks on me!! 4:30 in the morning!" Li yelled.
"I'm sorry.... it was my.... um.... brother calling you..... he's on drugs.... and he's taking special treatments.... so you understand right?"
"NO I DON'T UNDERSTAND! I don't care if he's taking shit, if he's mentally retarded, or even if he's a pig! No one calls me at 4:30 in the morning! Damn it!" Li concluded.
Sakura sighed. She stared at Kero who was still eating happily on a cupcake and mumbled, "He is a Pig!"
"WHAT! Did you just call me a pig!"
"Wha.... no no no! I was calling... *sigh* never mind...."
*Silence*
"So have you decided where the hell you want to go!" Li mumbled as softly as he could.
Sakura smirked. "You still want to hang out with me?"
Li almost fell off his bed. "Since when do I have a choice. I have a bargain to settle with you... remember!"
Sakura smiled. "Yep....and I'll tell you where we're going later... first, my house is located at..... ( Sakura dashes towards her window and looks down her street for the signs- she grins when she spots it)... Peach Ave, 75 St, come pick me up 9:00!"
Li growled. "Fine, you better be ready by then!" then he hangs up without saying bye.
Sakura smiled. She walked through her home and asked Kero "Hey, does this home get yellow pages?"
"Yea, I think I saw one over there yesterday." Kero muffled with his mouth full and small hands pointing into the living room.
Sakura walks into the room and picks up the thick book. She slowly turns the pages, in hopes to find the best place to start her mission. After searching for half an hour she locates the perfect place. She smirks and carefully plans out everything for her day.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ 9:00
*Ding* *Dong*
"I'll get it!!!!!" Kero beamed happily.
Sakura smiled and quickly pulled him back. "No you won't, you're going to stay right here and do nothing!"
"Oh wow, that sounds like a lot of fun!" Kero exclaimed sarcastically.
Sakura grinned, "Go upstairs now!"
"Ok ok ok... sheesh.... don't understand why I can't come...." Kero whined.
Sakura smiled. "I don't want to suffocate you again."
Kero sighed and flew upstairs while screaming "BRING HOME FOOD!"
Sakura chuckled and quickly opened the door.
"Stupid! How long does it take you answer your door!" Li's voice bellowed as Sakura's figure appeared in front of him.
Sakura frowned. "How long does it take you to answer your door?" she asked.
"I don't answer doors! People answer them for me." Li coldly explained.
Sakura scowled and mumbled, "I hate rich kids...."
"What did you say?"
"NOTHING! Let's go." Sakura yelled frustratingly.
~ Outside of house~
" My cars right there." Li growled and began to walk towards his fancy automobile.
Sakura smirked. "Who said anything about taking your car?" she asked with a sly tone.
L turned around and stared at her with a frown. "What do you mean by that?"
"I don't want to ride a fancy automobile today.... I rather take the bus." Sakura announced arrogantly.
Li's frown widen. "A bus....?"
Sakura nodded.
"You mean those long, dirty, crowded......useless things that block up the streets...." Li asked irritatingly.
"Yep!" Sakura beamed.
"I'm not going to ride in a stupid...... *sigh* never mind, fine!" Li screamed angrily. Then he walked towards the direction of the nearest bus stop. Sakura smiled, at least he knew where the bus stop was.
~ Bus~
Sakura and Li stood waiting in the bus stop. Li had a annoyed facial expression on his face, and he could help but frown and growl. Sakura just stood besides him smiling and giggling. Finally a half filled bus came and halted before them.
"It's here, get on." Sakura urged.
"Ladies first." Li mumbled with a tint of embarrassment.
Sakura smiled, and quickly got onto the bus.
Li slowly went in after her, and took out a twenty dollar bill from his pocket. "Um.... is this enough for a ride?" he asked the bus driver with a frown.
"Stupid, that's more than 10 times the value! What kind of idiot are you! You've never ridden a bus before?" The driver mocked.
Li's face redden with rage, and was this close to yelling at the driver, when Sakura abruptly stepped in front of them and gently replied, "I'll pay for him."
Li stared at her, and grew angrier. "I won't have a girl pay for me!"
Sakura sighed. "Relax! You can pay me back later!"
"I never owe girls anything!" Li barked, and he grabbed Sakura's hand and stuffed the twenty dollar bill into her hand. Sakura was a about to refuse , but she knew the terrible outcome that would come from her refusal, and decided to accept the money with another sigh.
~ one hour later ~
"It's our stop. Let's get off." Sakura softly informed.
Li nodded sternly, and stood up from the bus.
"Sakura.... you still haven't told me where we're going." Li replied as he stepped off the bus after Sakura. She turned around and smiled brightly at him.
"You'll see. First, I need to go buy something." Then she dashed into a bakery. Li stared after her with his curiosity in his eyes. As he waited, the sky darkened, and snow began to drift from the puffy snow. Finally Sakura came out the bakery with loads of pastry. Her cheeks were rosy, and her pale skin matched her figure perfectly. Li blushed, he never realized how pretty Sakura was.... until now.... or maybe it was just his eyes...
"Wow... it's pretty...." Sakura breathed as she stared at the falling snow. She laughed when she caught sight of Li. "What are standing there for? Let's go."
Li managed to nod and follow her. After fifteen minutes of walking silently, and staring at the pretty snow, Sakura stopped in front of a huge building.... labeled....
"COMMUNITY CLINIC FOR THE ELDERLY!!!!!" Li screamed in shock.
Sakura giggled. "From the tone of your voice, I believe you're dramatically excited!" she assumed happily.
Li gaped at her with his jaws wide open. "You're going to waste my whole day for a visit in a Clinic for the elderly!"
"Yea.... it's not like you have anything else to do." Sakura replied with a smirk.
"What do you I have nothing else to do! I can do lots of things.....like..... eat!..... yea that's it....eat!" Li argued indignantly.
Sakura chuckled. "I have tons of food here! Come on! You owe me my life, remember!" then she quickly pulled his hand towards the entrance of the building.
-Inside Clinic-
"Hi!!!!" Sakura greeted happily to the crowds of seniors sitting in the room.
They all smiled at her, but stared curiously at Li who stood in front of a corner kicking himself. Sakura sweat dropped. "Excuse my friend, he's.... not in his happiest mood today. I brought pastry for you to share! It's a small little present for the holidays. Merry Christmas!"
"Li! Come on!" Sakura urged behind him, but he wouldn't budge. She sighed.
Then Sakura grinned, as an elder women walked towards her.
Li continued to be stubborn and isolate himself near the wall. He growled. "Stupid, Sakura! What kind of girl would ask the richest boy in all of China to go to a community clinic? If I was her I would be going to fancy restaurants, yacht rides, trips, and so on! But no, she chooses to come to a crummy smelly place.....idiot!" Li snapped to himself. Suddenly, a hand tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a grumpy man staring at him. "Hey kid.... you good in chess?" his gruff voice asked.
Li peered at him cautiously, and nodded slowly, knowing that he had been the all star champion for chess in his school.
~Fifteen Minutes later~
Sakura dashed through the large room in search for Li. "Please don't tell me he left." she breathed as she searched every corner of the room. "Where can he be...." she stopped. A smile spread upon her face, as Li's face came into view. He was arguing with an elder gruff man though.
"What are doing! You can't kill my knight! You're playing against the rules!" Li's voice screamed.
"You ate my bishop before, and I claimed the same thing!" The elder man yelled back.
"I'm the all star player in my school! I know the rules from the bottom of my heart!" Li yelled with pride.
"What kind of bootleg school do you go to!" The man cried out while waving his cane.
"Bootleg school! Oh, thats it! Checkmate!" Li cheered happily.
"What kind of cheap move was that! I've played chess everyday for the many years I've fought in wars when I was young! , and I've never seen such a stupid move like that!"
"Proves what kind of person you are! In a time of national crisis you sit your lazy ass down and play chess!" Li yelled.
"What did you just call me! I dare you to say it in my face!"
"What do you think I'm doing right now?"
"Spitting in my face!"
"O well too bad!!!"
Sakura could stop laughing. "Has any of you realized how similar you two are?"
Both of them turned to see Sakura's petite figure near them.
"I'm nothing like this brat!" The elder man replied with his head held high.
"Who are you calling a brat!" Li yelled
Sakura laughed again, and they both scowled at her.
"Come on.... shake hands.... you both know you guys hand a nice time together."
"No we didn't!" Li exclaimed.
Sakura peered at him cautiously and waited for him to change his answer.
"Fine!" Li mumbled and held out his hand. The elder man quickly grabbed his hand and gave it a quick shook.
"We need to go now.... bye...." Sakura informed.
Li nodded and followed, but before he left, he cleverly informed his partner, "You know I won, right?"
"No you didn't!" The elderly man cried out.
Li chuckled and quickly caught up with Sakura who was apparently helping a disabled old women walk into her room.
"Be careful.... take it step by step..... don't worry, take all the time you need." Sakura assured gently.
When they had finally reached the bed, Sakura was making the bed sheets and fluffing her pillow for her.
Li stared silently at her.... amazed by her patience and kindness....
"She's a pretty one.... nice too....." a voice murmured behind him.
Li jumped, and stared at the grandpa he had just played chess with staring at Sakura intently. "No one asked for your opinion." Li snapped
"No one was speaking to you either!" The elder man snapped.
Li growled. *silence*
"Go for her..." The man mumbled.
"What!" Li exclaimed.
"I said, go for her! You know you like her...."
Li smirked, "I've known her for two days! She's a total idiot! Completely different from normal girls!" he coldly replied.
"That's what makes her special...." the man responded softly, and walked away from him into his own room.
Li blinked. He smiled. "Sakura's an idiot.... I'll never like an idiot." he breathed to himself.
"Ready to go!" Sakura asked happily.
Li nodded, and followed her out the clinic.
"So where do you want to go now?" Li asked her sternly.
Sakura smiled. "You spent half of you day with me....you can leave if you want..."
Li frowned as he check his watch and stared up at the sky. "Are you nuts. I can't leave you by yourself in the dark and in the middle of a deserted street!" he yelled.
Sakura smiled. "Why would you care...."
Li stared coldly at her. "I don't care... you're a girl that's all..."
She smirked. "So Li Syoaran does have a heart doesn't he?"
"I would be dead if I didn't, wouldn't I?" Li responded.
Sakura manage to nod, remembering that she wasn't alive...
"I also have to get my car...." Li explained carelessly.
Sakura nodded happily. "Let's go..."
~Sakura's Home~
"Well.... thanks for spending the day with me...." Sakura mumbled.
"It was nothing.... I owe you..... just remember that." Li grumbled and began to walk towards his car.
Sakura smiled. "Good night, Li...."
Li grunted and didn't respond... but he had whispered an inaudible "Night..." while walking to his car.
Sakura slowly opened her door, and shut it behind her..... not before hearing Li shout, "Damnit! Six different parking tickets from five different officers.....leaves...... and pigeon shit! Can my day get any worse?"
Sakura peered through the window curiously, and laughed. Behind her, she heard a voice snicker. "Kero......" Sakura called out sternly, sensing something tricky.
Kero popped out from the closet he had hid in and laughed.
"What did you do now?" Sakura asked with a bit of delight in her voice.
"Hehehe, I conjured up those tickets, and stuff on his car. It's funny how gullible he is. *chuckle* I mean, how is it possible for one car to get six different tickets from five different officers. Hehehehehe, I find that hilarious! He's so funny!" Kero brightly beamed.
Sakura sweat dropped. "You're so evil! Bad Kero, no dessert for you now!"
"Awwwwwwwww come on, I'll never do it again. Promise!"
Sakura laughed and sighed. She silently thought to herself about her day... "Li's not so bad.... he's arrogant..... but cute.... hm.... I wonder what I'll do with him tomorrow...."
