Chapter 6: To forget
The next day at school (day 5)
Sakura wasn't really able to sleep well last night. All she did was to think of what happened between her and Syaoran. She really doesn't know what happened to her last night, making her say all those things to him, not to mention taking the initiative to kiss.
"Ohh… this is not happening to me! It's so embarrassing! What on earth have I done to myself!" Sakura moaned, slapping her head with her palm.
"Oooiiiiii! Sakura-chan!" Sakura stopped walking and looked up. Tomoyo and Meiling were both running towards her. That's when she noticed that there's a little commotion going on inside the school. Darn, how could she have not noticed?
Go on, you baka, ask some more stupid questions! Said the back of her mind, making her frown slightly.
"Tomoyo-chan, Meiling-chan… doushite? (Tomoyo, Meiling… why?)" She asked, as soon as the two stopped in front of her.
"What? You're asking why?" Meiling asked disbelievingly, slapping her arm quite hard that Sakura almost cried in pain. "You left yesterday without telling us!"
Sakura looked at them for a moment, wondering, while still rubbing the part where Meiling slapped her, misty eyed. "I forgot about you guys! I was so worried that Onii-chan would see the house dirty and foodless and might end up locking me in my room or something. I was totally distracted! I'm sorry!"
"We asked Li where you could've gone. We didn't know you went home." It was Tomoyo this time, who's doing the talking, in which Sakura thanked in relief, at least when Tomoyo is speaking, she's harmless. "And all he did was to stare at us and say I don't know. Really now, tell us. Did something happened?"
On queue, Sakura's thoughts were drowned back to the incident yesterday. The kiss…
"Nothing happened!"
Meiling looked at her doubtfully, and then sighed. "Forget it. Anyway, we have to hurry, the show would be starting pretty soon."
"What show—hey! Where are you taking me!" Meiling grabbed Sakura's hand and was practically dragging her to the gym.
"Xiao Lang began with his tour and it's starting here."
Sakura stopped (though you can't say they stopped because Meiling is still dragging her). "What do you mean here?"
"Here!" Tomoyo smiled, catching up with Meiling. "A school show in here!"
"Here?" Sakura repeated, stunned.
"Hai! (Yes!)" Her two friends replied in unison.
Sakura's felt her hopes of new life fell. Oh… doomed!
"Sakura-chan! Li's doing a school tour for this day!" It was Rika, one of her friends, who welcomed her as soon as they arrived in the gym. "And I can't believe it, he's actually here in the flesh! Saku! Were breathing the same air as he does! Standing on the same ground where he is! And he—"
"Hai, hai, yamette! (yeah, yeah, enough!)" Meiling butted in, frowning. "The show's starting soon, we have to go to our seats.
"Hai! (Yes!)" Rika exclaimed joyfully, going back to her seat. Meiling, Sakura, and Tomoyo on the other hand, went to the front seats (the pleasure of being a singer's cousin!).
"Nee… are you sure it's ok to seat here?" Sakura asked hesitantly, filling up the chair meant for her, feeling some envious eyes dawned upon them.
"Of course, he arranged this for us!" Meiling replied triumphantly, sitting comfortably on her chair. A moment later, the school directress went out of the stage, smiling. The crowd fell into deep silence, and then, whispers followed.
"Are you sure this is a show?"
"Hey, she's not Li! She's not even a man!"
"Don't tell me she's the one singing!"
"I thought were supposed to see Li?"
"Students… I want you all to stay calm." The directress announced in a soft yet authorized voice, that made everyone fell into a deep sea of silence. "You shouldn't worry… The show will begin, and the singer, Li, will spend a little time with us."
After this announcement, everyone began to cheer and lightened up. At least they are sure that Li is there, and the directress will not sing. After that, the directress began to talk to them for some short reminders of proper etiquette and manners (like don't scream, don't do anything weird and all that), as a school SOP whenever there are visitors coming.
As this goes through, Sakura couldn't help it but smile. She wasn't sure if this was because Li would be appearing today, or because he arranged a seat for them, or because the directress is not singing like what the students, including her thought. She's simply happy.
"And now… let us all welcome… Li!"
Just as soon as his name was called, the music began. And the whole gym fell into deep silence once again, to hear his melodious voice.
Even
a lover makes a mistake sometimes
Like any other
Fall out and
lose his mind
Sakura held her breath as soon as Syaoran emerged from the backstage. He looks extremely handsome that day, as he smiles and waves at everyone.
And
I'm sorry for the things I did
For your teardrops over words I
said
Can you forgive me and open
your heart once again, oh yeah
It's
true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's
true
Without you I would fall apart
Syaoran began to let his eyes wander upon the whole gym as he continued singing the song. She should be somewhere around here…
Whatever
happened
I know that I was wrong, oh yes
Can you believe
me
Maybe your faith is gone
But I love you and I always will
So
I wonder if you want me still
Can you forgive me and open
your
heart once again, oh yeah
Finally, he looked at the group of people in front of him. He found her: The girl who hasn't let him sleep so well last night… because of what happened yesterday, that made him felt weird.
It's
true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's
true
Without you I would fall apart
Sakura was stunned, rooted on her chair. This is the third time he's giving me that gaze. And all of a sudden, she remembered what happened yesterday. With that, she looked down. Oh… the pain of being embarrassed…
I'd
do anything to make it up to you
So please understand
And open
your heart once again
It's
true
I mean it
From the bottom of my heart
Yeah, it's
true
Without you I would fall apart
The room was filled with claps and cheers after the song.
"Thank you!" Syaoran said back, bowing to everyone. Sakura looked up. Syaoran was smiling at her. Sakura sighed heavily
How would I live through my resolve with this?
The show was finished pretty soon enough because the host says Li has to visit other schools as part of his tour.
They were now going back to their rooms when someone approached her. Sakura looked around. "Yes?"
"You're Sakura Kinomoto… right?" The guy asked.
"Hai." Sakura replied blankly. "How may I help you?"
"Yeah, my name is Eriol Hiirigazawa." He, which was Eriol said, shaking her hand. "You see… Li was asking if he could have a word with you… if that's all right."
Sakura raised her eyebrow. "Why won't he come here instead?"
Eriol smiled back. "If he will then imagine how these people would react." He answered looking around. Sakura did the same, and sighed.
"You have a point there." Sakura looked at her watch: 10 more minutes before the next subject. "All right… But it has to be quick, because I still have to catch up with my next subject, all right?"
Eriol smiled in reply, and guided her towards a red jaguar parked on the school's parking lot.
This is it… She took a deep breathe, and got inside.
Syaoran looked up when he heard the door of his Jaguar opened, and smiled at the sight of Sakura getting in, her bag still with her.
"Hey." He greeted.
"Hey." Sakura greeted back uncertainly. "I… I can't stay quite long… I have to be back for my next subject and—"
"I know." Syaoran cutted her. "I just want to talk to you for a while…"
"About what?"
Syaoran stared at her, and sighed. He looked at the driver. The driver nodded back, and went out of the car. Then, he turned to Sakura again. "About yesterday… at the videoke room… I just… wanted to know if you…" His words trailed off. No, he can't say it… His pride is eating him.
Sakura looked away. "I told you, I don't regret what happened, as to that you are not sorry for it."
"I see…" He muttered, still doubtful, in which Sakura seemed to take in the wrong way.
"You shouldn't worry." She continued, looking at him. "I won't tell anyone. Nobody will know. And you won't find any hassles with it."
Syaoran looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
"I'll pretend it didn't happen at all, Li… And I'll try to forget you from now on."
That night…
After the exhausting school tours and Meiling finally stopped bugging him, he was now alone in his room, lying on his bed, thinking over what happened earlier with his talk with Sakura.
"I'll pretend it didn't happen at all, Li… And I'll try to forget you from now on."
Until now that statement filled his mind.
Why would she forget me?
Then, he frowned. What does he care, anyway? She's just a fan whom he happened to be with in an intimate way yesterday.
Just a fan? Are you sure about that, Li Syaoran? He heard his voice said on his mind. He sighed. That voice is right. He's not sure of what's happening around him.
How could she forget about me and what happened yesterday when all the while it's bugging me until now!
He sat down, scratching his head irritably. Forget about me? No way!
"What's going on…?" His head fell on his hands hopelessly. "Don't do it, Sakura…" He muttered, sighing heavily. "Don't forget about me…"
TBC
A/N: Okaay… I know it's soooo like fast. But one thing for sure: Syaoran is not in love with Sakura… yet. He's in a confused state… It's like… aaargh, can't explain it clearly. But I hope you like my story and what was going on right now in it.
Eriol: Nee, Shana-chan, I thought you said you're gonna put some color I my life here!
Shana: Hai! And don't rush! Were getting there, ok!
Eriol: Is that a bluff?
Shana: No! Just you wait, ok?
Syaoran: How about us?
Shana: Us who? You and eriol? Eew… Youre disgusting.
Syaoran: No! I meant Sakura and me!
Shana: Well duh! What do you think am I doing?
Syaoran: No! I mean, is there going to be a… you know…
Shana: AAAH! Hentai! No N.O.P.s! (Night of Passion)
Syaoran: eh?
Shana: Stop it!
Eriol: Huh?
Syaoran: Whatever!
Anyway, please review! I'm gonna sleep now! Aja aja fighting!
