A/N: Well here's another addition to Our Story RR
Chapter 3: Back in my life
She tricked me!
That was it...Tomoyo tricked me.
She said we were headed to the store to shop and get the next few days off our minds. Instead she dragged me to the airport to send Ying on her merry way to Paris. If I had my way, which I secretly did. I wished that plane would crash and kill her. But I didn't want to kill any of the innocents with her...
Basically, I went only because Tomoyo made me. She had told me I didn't have to say goodbye but I'd have to stay there until she was all done seeing that Bitch off as a favor for Eriol.
"If I have to suffer, so do you" Tomoyo had grimly said parking.
Sakura got out and saw the surprised looks on the other girls' faces that were waiting for Tomoyo. It was priceless.
"Sakura..." Chiharu started
"Don't get your hopes up that I'm here for that Bitch, I'm only here because if you'll suffer, I will to!" Sakura said stating it loud and proud to the men who were walking their way. Syaoron stayed in the back with Ying. Sakura never looked at him even as he looked towards her.
"Bye!" Ying said lovingly.
This was like the...50th time she said that next to giving Syaoron little hugs and kisses that made you want to puke for long minutes.
It was about time That Bye! Had a bye to it.
Sakura rolled her eyes and as soon as she handed her ticket to the attendant Sakura turned away with her girls.
"Well let's get out of here!" all the girls chorused and let out giggles.
Syaoron stared at Sakura's musical laugh. He had missed it more than anything. He didn't realize it before but he really missed having Sakura around. He had taken her company for granted.
Tomoyo and the girls all paired up in the parking lot and got ready to leave.
"Send me home first" Sakura whined to Tomoyo, who seemed like she would be with Eriol for the rest of the night instead.
"I will" Syaoron said from the back. Sakura froze and said icily "No thanks!"
Syaoron sighed as he took two strides up to Sakura and grabbed her wrist. "Let's go!"
Tomoyo opened her mouth but Eriol looked at her and shook his head.
"They need this!" Eriol mouthed to her and she finally nodded in agreement watching Syaoron push a struggling Sakura into the car.
Sakura sat down but tried to unlock the door it was jammed.
Syaoron smirked and Sakura remembered freshman year when he had done that to her. Locked from the inside but the outside people could open it.
"Syaoron, you bastard let me out!" Sakura screamed and hit him.
He turned to face her and grabbed her by the shoulder hugging her.
"I missed you..."
Sakura stunned stayed limp in his embrace but snapped up her guard again.
"Get OFF!' Sakura roared. "I've enough of this, I never missed you, in fact, good riddance, you two deserve each other, you're both more suited than anyone I know" Sakura yelled holding her tears back Oh No! That Sakura had her heart ripped out that day! She wouldn't stand it anymore! This was a new IMPROVED Sakura.
"Even us?" Syaoron questioned
"Us?" Sakura laughed hysterically "Us? How can you even say such a thing! There never was an US maybe only in your mind..."
"Shut up!" Syaoron said icily back. "Two can play that game Sakura, Two!"
"No one ever said no one else can play that game, sorry to say I didn't start it off" Sakura said tauntingly.
Mad, Syaoron started the engine and drove fast down towards home.
"Syaoron, you bastard...if you want to die so much DIE yourself!!!" Sakura screeched putting her seatbelt on and shutting her eyes.
Syaoron smiled a lop-sided smile. This is what she gets!
Upon arriving at Sakura's house Syaoron pressed on the brakes a little to hard.
"Well, here's home!" Syaoron said stiffly.
Sakura huffed pissed off. "Open the door Please!"
Syaoron opened the door and looked at Sakura as she climbed out. "Sakura, can't we just get along again?"
"NO" Sakura answered a bit of sadness in her voice caught his attention. "Nothing's ever going to be the same again." She walked away from Syaoron 'not unless you can give me back my heart.'
"Look Sakura, I'm sorry! If that's what you're looking for there! You got it! I'm Sorry!" Syaoron yelled after her.
Sakura continued to walk away although she really wanted to turn and run into his arms, but she knew deep within her... Nothing would change the circumstances they were in right now. Nothing.
Sakura went upstairs to her bedroom and looked at her room. She had taken down all the pictures of Syaoron and herself, things he'd given her, and even just mementos of places they went to.
Sakura went to her cell and picked it up. She needed to talk to Tomoyo. How dare she stand there as if a hungry wolf wasn't dragging her off!
She dialed and suddenly a thought came to mind...
"God, I'm so mean now..." Sakura whispered sitting on the bed. "NO! I must be strong; I mustn't lose to a guy! Who need MEN!!!"
"Kajuu! (Monster)" A male voice was heard.
Sakura fell over (anime style) "Oni-chan?"(Big Brother)
"Hai? (Yes) you called me?"
"I did?" Sakura asked clueless.
"Yeah! Only to tell me who needs men?" Touya asked annoyed "Call me for EMERGENCIES would you like me to spell it!"
"Gomen! (Sorry) I dialed the wrong number Geez!" Sakura pouted, "Some big brother you are!"
"Imouto-Chan (Little Sis)...I'm a busy man, busy man don't need to pick up the phone to hear their sisters talk about not needing a guy." Touya paused. "I think that's why they created a Diary For GIRLS!"
"Chotto (Wait) how dare you insult me! No one insults me NOONE..."
"You're not over Syaoron are you?"
Sakura fell over again "What are you talking about?!?" She sat on the ground listening for a reply.
Touya laughed, "Don't tell me you never knew that I knew about you're little fight with Syaoron and his fiancée"
"How?"
"It was on the news..."
"HOEHHHHH!!!!" Sakura screeched "when? How? Where? But...TOUYAAAAAA it was OKAA-SAN HUH????"
Touya laughed, "Don't change Kajuu, no man is worth all that stress, I mean you don't want to gray before me!"
"HEY!"
"Hey, I got to run, but please, e-mail me your problems next time... so I can just delete it without hearing your voice!"
The phone line went dead...
Sakura sat there stunned for a few minutes then everything registered
"TOUYA you BASTARD!!!!"
Knock knock
"Miss Sakura?"
"Huh?" Sakura turn towards the door
"Are you alright? The whole neighborhood was worried"
"I'm perfectly alright!" Sakura said a blush forming on her cheeks...
Damn that Syaoron, making me scare everyone!
"Niang (Mom in Chinese)"
Yelan looked up to see her son walk in, made a bow stiffly to her before sitting on the couch.
"Yes?" Yelan questioned with a raised eyebrow. Rarely, if ever, did Syaoron talk to her this casually unless he wanted something.
"I was wondering, how come you and Mrs.' Kinomoto aren't so close anymore...?"
Yelan smiled "Is that another way to state why you and Sakura aren't close anymore?"
Syaoron looked up at his mother's dark eyes and pushed a hand through his hair "No!"
"We are close, we talk all the time, I just haven't really had time to invite her over you know..."
"Oh, why not soon then..."
"What are you implying Syaoron? You want ME to fix your relationship with Sakura? But I could swear it was you who told me not to meddle in your business..."
"All right! You caught me... but MA!!!"
"We'll see... if..."
"That's blackmail MA!" Syaoron started to protest.
"If you start training again."
"Deal" Syaoron said as soon as he heard that.
"With you father..."
Syaoron groaned. That would mean full force training.
"Can I back out?"
"Absolutely not! Not after you just said okay now...a man never gores back on his words..."
"But you haven't done the favor yet!" Syaoron protested
Yelan raised her eyebrow.
"All right, I'm out of here" Syaoron said backing out "But I also wanted to say I'll be out late next Friday, everyone's leaving tomorrow and I wanted to stay out with them."
"All right" Yelan nodded and shooed him out.
Sakura sighed. It was Thursday...tomorrow everyone would get together for the last time and say goodbye since everyone was headed to different places. Bye Saturday morning no one would be left...except Syaoron and Sakura... She had gone out yesterday and bought everyone a key chain. Solid platinum on the back and inside framed with real diamond were a picture of all of them, in a group...before Ying came along and broke it apart. She had gotten ten of them ...one for everyone, even Syaoron.
She was returning from the Chaolin house where she tutored her father's old friends daughter Leiling. She'd taken the job once she found it would give her something to do...when Syaoron and everyone hanged out she didn't need to do anything because they were always having fun...now... there was nothing to do so might as well do something worth while.
RING
Sakura picked up her cell and noticed it was Touya's number. She picked up as she approached her house.
"Hey bro!"
"Sakura...I..."
"Yeah?" Sakura brightened at hearing her brother's voice, since she could never see him she always loved to hear his voice once in a while.
"I don't think I can do this anymore... we're losing money...I have to work... I'm quitting school..."
"What!" Sakura yelled, she smiled briefly at the gate guard who opened the door.
"Why? You' only need another 9 months Touya!"
"But my responsibility..."
"Will come later, look Ma knows enough to hold on to the budget long enough till you take over okay... Dada taught you everything and didn't bother telling ma and me so we are beginners...but that doesn't mean anything for now, we can do it... just make sure you graduate kay?"
"Alright... you know Kajuu, sometimes, you give good advice..."
"Next time e-mail it so I can..."
"I know delete it" Touya finished with a laugh
"NO! Remember it" Sakura said smiling softly into the phone. She entered her bedroom and giggled gently. "You know what Touya...I miss you"
"I miss you too monster..."
"I love you...'
"Me two, give mom only the best from me... oh, Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't mention this to mom"
"Of course not, if..."
"No Sakura!!!"
"Send me something!!!" Sakura begged
"As if you don't already have enough of everything"
"But, when it's given from you it means something!" Sakura protested
"Alright, what do you want?"
"Send me a Bear Touya, a bear of you!" Sakura giggled "So they're will always be a place in the house for you"
Touya groaned but relented "Fine, but I warn you, it's going to look hot like me!"
"Please!" Sakura laughed sarcastically.
"Well got to run'
"Me too! Sakura said, "I'm hungry!"
"Alright, Night!"
"Night Big Brother..."Sakura sighed hearing the ring tone replace his voice.
Everyone giggled and was taking pictures left and right!
"Three!" Sakura said cheerfully snapping a picture of all the girls. They laughed as they joked around. Sakura glanced around the room and thought back to all the good old days.
The boys arrived and Couples were taken, cake was passed around, beer and wine smelled and then the presents to end the night of partying.
Sakura had received a teddy from Tomoyo, some perfume from Chiharu, some earrings from Rika, a necklace from Meling, a notebook from Naoko and money from the guys.
"Now give us a lap dance!" Kei said handing her the money
The guys hooted.
"Then again maybe not!" Kei said seeing Rika's fist in full view.
The others agree as their own ladies raised a fist to them.
"Hey!" A voice sounded "Sorry I'm late!"
"Syaoron you idiot, just didn't want to say goodbye huh?" Takshin said holding Naoko.
"Yeah!" Dau Sz. Said wrapping an arm around Meling's waist.
Syaoron grinned. "I had to pick up people's present!"
"Late again!" Tomoyo stated "Didn't I remind you last night to show up with something and be on time?"
"Sorry! High and mighty Tomoyo but you should know I don't like to rush anything."
"Here you go!" Syaoron handed a bracelet or sapphire to Tomoyo, a hairpin for Meling, a new purse for Naoko, a lovely fan for Rika, a Leather wallet for Takshin, a Leather jacket for Kei, a key to Dau Sz. (you can only guess where that is), a camera for Takashi, a jacket for Chiharu, a portable Computer for Eriol, and then he turned to Sakura.
Sakura crossed her arms and looked at him.
He smiled and walked up to her presenting an envelope.
Sakura looked at him suspiciously and eyed the envelope before taking it after Tomoyo nudged her. She opened it and saw a check for $10,000 for clothes.
She glared at it then looked up at Syaoron. He didn't like that look on her face.
Nope he didn't...
