Thanks!
PS--For some reason it wont let me put on their "e-mails" so I'm forced to just use their names. SIGH.
With You
Chapter Five: E-Mails
From: Sakura
To: Tomoyo
Tomoyo, it's Sakura!
Can you believe it? It's already been THREE WEEKS since I left! I miss you guys so much! Please foreword this to Eriol, for some reason his e-mail isn't working for me. Oh well. It's hard to be a sixteen-year-old in Hong Kong without her best friends…
Hong Kong is beautiful! I feel bad for making such a fuss before…but oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
So have you been talking to Meilin? She's talking about me, I know it. I can tell by the way she looks at me. Oh Tomoyo, please tell me what she says!
Anyway…Meilin and I have been hanging out a lot. Just after I gave her your e-mail, I went out dancing at this club and went to shoot of fireworks with her, Chang, Syaoran, Shine and Jodie.
Oh God, you would NOT believe it! Remember that boy I told you about? The one I ran into?
IT'S SYAORAN!
Can you believe that?
Needless to say, we hate each other.
But he's Meilin's COUSIN! And because of that, and that she lives with him in his house, he comes along on everything!
But he did save me from getting raped/murdered…I guess when I woke up I should have been a little nicer to him…he's not that bad, and he's hot, but still…
I guess I'll have to tell you what happened huh? Well this guy jumped me when I was coming back to the hotel and he drugged me with chloroform (bad huh?) and Syaoran saved me and brought me back to the hotel. When I woke up the next morning I was a little…rude to him.
But hey, he hadn't been very nice to me, so it was kind of like payback.
I don't like him. God he's ANNOYING!
Oh yesterday we went on a tour of Sai Kung, Hong Kong's "Back Garden" it was amazing! Of course everyone had seen it already, but me, but Meilin had insisted we see it.
We also went to Victoria Peak, where we got to see the views of Hong Kong. I am such a tourist it's not even funny. You should see all the pictures!
Last night Touya and I went to the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria. We saw Syaoran there, he was with Chang. God you should have seen Touya try to kill him! It was so embarrassing!
Tonight I'm going to the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple. (Yeah, that's a real place)
It's supposed to be totally gorgeous at night.
I wish you were here Tomoyo!
I'm just glad that summer is almost over and we can catch up soon!
Much love,
Sakura
PS: No, I am NOT going to fall in love with Syaoran, as much as you seem to think so. Even if I did, it'd just be a summer fling. I mean, I'm never going to see him, or anyone, again after this summer.
From: To: Wow that sounds so amazing Sakura! I mean, the Sik Sik Yuen Wong…whatever. The temple! That sounds so amazing! Oh tell me more, and take lots of pictures!
From: Tomoyo
To: Sakura
Everything is getting pretty boring here without you, Saku. I mean, even Eriol and I are running out of things to do, and Kero misses you terribly…silly cat. Haha.
Not much is happening here, really. Just the same old Tamoeda.
And who says you can't fall in love over the summer? Who know, maybe you and Syaoran are destined for each other and this summer is just a test of that…
Yeah I know I'm being stupid again, but still.
Even you can believe in fate, can't you?
I mean, fate is mysterious, it works to change our lives for the better.
Well I'd better go Cherry!
Love,
Tomoyo

I sighed and clicked off the computer at the internet café.
"Done yet squirt?" Touya asked.
I smiled and nodded, punching him in the gut as I walked by. "Yep."
"You did that why?" Touya growled.
"Because you are annoying." I smirked. "Where's dad?"
"He went back to the hotel, he had a headache." Touya sighed. "So I guess you're stuck with me."
"Kill me now." I teased.
Actually, when he was behaved, Touya wasn't a half bad guy. He was very caring and loving, most times annoying, but he was just…a good brother.
"So." Touya said as we walked from the internet café. "Where to? We've been here for three weeks and already I think we've seen everything there is to see."
I nodded, walking at his side through the busy streets, my hands clasped together in front of me.
We had been there for three weeks, too. I could barely remember the first day, it felt as if we'd been there forever.
I had grown steadily closer to Meilin over those past weeks. She was an awesome girl and she knew how to have fun. If I didn't see her I talked to her at least once every day. We hadn't done anything with Shine and Jodie much since our first night out, we'd mostly spent time together with Syaoran and Chang.
After the incident at the hotel, Syaoran and I had stopped talking again.
Poor guy, his bitterness towards me was just too thick.
Like his head.
Oh well.
Fine…I'll admit it. Syaoran wasn't that bad…sometimes.
I mean, he did kind of save me, right?
"What's wrong Sakura?" Touya asked, looking down at me.
I smiled up at him. "Nothing. Why?"
"You keep drifting off into thought." he shrugged. "It's creepy."
"What," I growled. "That I can think?"
"Exactly."
Damn brother.
I punched him, hard, in the arm.
"Fine, fine." Touya sighed, gazing around us. "So that stupid kid isn't hanging around anymore, is he?"
I smirked, remembering when Touya and I had run into Syaoran and Chang a few days ago. Touya had recognized Syaoran from our first day there, when he'd run into me, and had instantly gone into defense mode.
I had to stand in between the two boys to stop Touya from killing Syaoran. After we'd left, Touya had demanded to know how I'd known Syaoran's name.
That was a doozey to explain.
"How about we go back to the hotel and watch a movie?" Touya asked.
I nodded. "As long as it's Ju On."
Touya rolled his eyes. "The Grudge? Again? How many times have you seen that stupid thing?"
"Not enough." I grinned.
We walked towards the hotel, and were only a little ways away, when I saw a familiar figure standing by the hotel entrance.
"What is that kid doing here?" Touya growled when he saw Syaoran.
"Chill Touya, it's a free country, he can go wherever he wants." I rolled my eyes, grabbing Touya's arm, just in case.
Syaoran looked up as we approached. "Hey Sakura."
God, sound more depressed will you? Could he at least pretend like he wanted to be there?
"Hey." I said with as much enthusiasm as he showed towards me.
"Get out of here you stupid kid." Touya growled, storming up to the Chinese sixteen-year-old.
Syaoran glared at him. "Sorry, I wasn't talking to you."
"Oh come on!" I groaned, grabbing Touya's arm again. "Chill Touya, will you? You go inside, I'm going to talk to Syaoran for a minuet."
"No way! I'm not-"
"Touya." I growled.
Touya frowned, shot Syaoran one last death glare, and stormed into the hotel.
I sighed and turned back to Syaoran. "What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too." Syaoran said flatly. "Meilin couldn't reach you on your cell, neither could I, so I-"
"You have my cell number?" I asked.
He nodded. "Meilin gave it to me. To see if her phone was busted or not."
Well, if that was a cover-up, it was a good one.
"Fine." I said. "What did she want?"
"She's meeting us at Victoria Peak." Syaoran said. "With Chang. I was closest so I came to get you. If your coming."
I sighed and looked up at the hotel. "Well…Touya was expecting me."
When I turned back to Syaoran, I found that he was inches from my face, a small smirk crossing his lips.
What was he doing?
"Come on Sakura." he said, actual warmth in his voice. "When will you get a chance to be in Hong Kong again?"
I rolled my eyes and stepped away from him. "Fine, I'll come. I just have to tell-"
"Oh no." Syaoran said, grabbing my arm as I tried to walk into the hotel. "If you go in he won't let you come back."
True. So true.
"I'll text him then." I shrugged. "How are we getting there"
Syaoran pointed over his shoulder, into the alley.
Confused, and yet intrigued, I walked over to the alley.
Sitting there, between the buildings, was a black Yamaha motorcycle.
"Y-You can drive this?" I gaped at Syaoran as he walked up to the bike, pulled open the seat, and handed me an extra helmet. "No way!"
Syaoran shrugged, taking my helmet from me, setting it on my head. "I got my license for it a few months ago."
"Well that makes me feel great." I rolled my eyes as he fastened up the buckle to my helmet. I had always sucked at stuff like that.
"Well then I'm not going to tell you that I actually turn seventeen in two months and I did, actually, fail for this license three times."
I gaped at him. "That is not funny."
He shrugged, tapping the top of my head. "No, it's not."
Then he hopped on the bike. "Coming Kinomoto?"
I shot him a glare. "Fine. But if we die, I'm going to haunt you."
He rolled his eyes as I got on the back of the bike. "You do that."
I just sat there. "Aren't you going to start up the bike? Or does it run on air?"
"Aren't you going to hold on? I'm not slowing down because you've fallen off." Syaoran said.
"Hold on?" I looked around me. "To what?"
"You've never done this before, have you?" he asked.
I glared at him. "Obviously."
He sighed and grabbed my hands, pulling one on either side of them until I had my arms wrapped around his waist.
"There." he said. "Now hold on."
Then, he started up the bike.
I was so going to die on this stupid crotch rocket with the guy I disliked strongly.
Okay! Hope you liked it! Review!
