Title: Remember me?
Author: sapphire-Lady-of-the-Night
Chapter 5: Are you sure?
Do you still love me?
It's the Kinomoto girl isn't it?
The truth will catch up on you…
Syaoran sat on his bed staring at the ceiling instead of resting. His head was aching like hell. Kari's words repeated over and over again on his head while the scene back there in his front yard with his neighbor kept on replaying.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" he clutched his head.
He lay back on his bed and closed his eyes, wishing sleepiness would take over. He got what he wished, he fell asleep, a dreamless sleep. By the time he woke up he forgot what was on his mind before he fell asleep.
Sakura sighed. She was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Tomoyo left that afternoon still frustrated. She knew Tomoyo was only worried for her. But Tomoyo doesn't understand what it feels when you find true love.
She stared through the glass window to Syaoran's own kitchen. She could see his silhouette. He was standing, unmoving leaning against the counter. She heaved another sigh!
Was it really alright that she gave him up to Kari?
Wait you didn't gave him up!
It's as good as giving up, you're doing nothing!
What can I do? Walk up to him and tell him I was his true love? I can't do that! I won't interrupt; I won't be a cause to a distraction of a relationship… because I myself know the feeling of loosing someone you deeply love…
Ugh! You are too good, too nice!
"Ahhh! I'm late!" A frantic Sakura struggled on her jeans hopping around the room. She put on a simple shirt and went downstairs not even bothering to brush her hair. Eriol was already at the table eating his breakfast.
"Take your seat and relax" he smiled.
"I can't just relax I'm late for my first class!" Sakura panted from running.
"I thought your first class for Monday is still at nine" Eriol said amused.
Sakura stopped dead.
"Ehehe…" she bonked her head. "You're right eight am is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays!"
Eriol smiled shaking his head. "You better eat your breakfast."
Sakura ate her omelet. "Wow Hirigazawa you can cook an omelet and it's yummy too!" Sakura said. "Whenever I try to cook one it always ends up as scrambled egg!"
Eriol just smiled. "Practice makes perfect"
"You're right!"
As it turned out Eriol gave Sakura a ride since they were in the same school. Sakura got out of the black Mercedes.
"Thanks a lot Eri- Hirigazawa." Sakura blushed from embarrassment.
"You can call me Eriol if you like" Eriol smiled.
"Pinhead would be appropriate" An angry voice said behind Sakura.
Sakura whirled around facing Tomoyo. "Err… Good morning Tomoyo" Sakura said uncertainly. She sure is in a bad mood real often.
"Good Morning,,,uhh.. hothead!" Eriol smirked.
"Shut up! Why are you with him Sakura? You should have called me I would've pick you up!"
'Uh-oh!'
"Err… Well the ride was available and I didn't want to bother you" Sakura said trying to sound reasonable.
"Well then let's go I can't stand a single minute in the presence of this trash bag." She glared at Eriol, who merely smiled, infuriating Tomoyo more.
"If I'm a trash bag then you're a garbage collector?" He smirked.
Tomoyo didn't bother to answer him. He's unbearable! She turned around.
"Let's go Sakura!" Tomoyo said stomping off.
"Hothead!" Eriol shouted teasing her. Sakura bit her lip to keep from laughing and turning Tomoyo's wrath on her.
"Errr… I don't think that's a good idea" Sakura said to Eriol when she turned to get her instruments from his car.
Eriol just smiled watching the stiff figure of Tomoyo Daidouji. I'll make you mine.
"Ugh Sakura! You should kick that man out of you house!" Tomoyo scowled. They were walking in the corridors of the school. Tomoyo was still muttering a curse or two after the encounter with Eriol.
"Tomoyo I can't just kick him out because you hate him" Sakura said smiling.
"You're right I hate him and I hate him for the right reasons." Tomoyo said.
"And what would those reasons be?"
"First off his a flirt second he is a pin head and an infuriating one to the point of driving you insane! He's the most ugly creature I ever laid eyes on, can't call him human cause his not! Sakura he might be an alien bent on destroying you. He's a bad influence, he's a psychopath! You'll turn berserk if you stay long with him! You should kick him out!" Tomoyo was almost screaming. She was currently panting and her eyes looked very dangerous.
Err… somehow I think it's the other way around.Sakura thought. Not that Tomoyo is a flirt nor a pinhead. She was also very far from ugly But the way she looked now it's like she's the psychopath or the alien.
Sakura sweatdropped. "Err… Tomoyo Eriol's not—"
"You're calling him Eriol now!" Tomoyo cut her off, her eyes gleaming.
"Errr…Hirigazawa then." Oh man can I just get out of here? Tomoyo is scary these days.
"He hasn't been flirting at me nor does he infuriates me and you should get your visions checked he's really handsome. He's definitely not a psychopath and he's not turning me berserk. He's studying psychology and I think he's really nice. Plus hecooks real delicious omelets!"
"See he has turned you against me!"
"Uhh.. Tomoyo you should get a hold of yourself and give him a chance he's not bad I tell you"
"I hate him! I detest him! I despise him!"
"But why?" Sakura asked.
"I've already told you the reasons" Tomoyo answered.
"You know Tomoyo, I'm curious what really happened in Eriol's room the day you first met?" Sakura smirked giving Tomoyo an I-know-you're-hiding-something-from-me look.
"What are you talking about?" Tomoyo arched her eyebrow coolly. But Sakura could see she tightened her grip on her bag.
"Oh you know, what did Eriol do when he saw you snooping on his room?"
"I wasn't snooping!" Tomoyo said not answering Sakura's question.
"Right" Sakura said with her you're-not-fooling-me tone.
"Anyway what did he do?" Sakura asked.
"Uh… you know Sakura I've got a class and I'm gonna be late see ya!" Tomoyo said starting to walk ahead her.
"Oh don't let me stop you! I'm just gonna ask Hirigazawa instead. I'm sure he'll be more than enthusiastic to share the details." Sakura smiled evilly as she saw Tomoyo abrubtly stop and stiffen.
"Bye Tomoyo" Sakura said laughing as she started to turn to the other corridor.
"Wait!" Tomoyo called after Sakura.
"I thought you're gonna be late?" Sakura said still smiling. "What's that tape anyway?" she asked spying a video tape from Tomoyo's bag opening. She was carrying a shoulder bag with no zipper and the video tape was visible. Sakura noticed it was the one Eriol took.
"Oh this is nothing!" Tomoyo smiled nervously. "Just another video of you, I wasn't able to get it out of my bag."
"Oh? May I watch it then?"
"No!" Tomoyo said quickly. "I… I mean it's really bad because my cam sort of… you know had… a d-defect." She stammered.
Sakura knew Tomoyo was lying. Her cam was always in good condition. She takes videos of her every now and then. Why? She had no idea!
"Hey Tomoyo watch out Eriol's coming this way!" Sakura said. Tomoyo whirled around.
Sakura painstakingly but quickly took the tape from Tomoyo's bag and hid it in her own.
"Where?" Tomoyo turned to her frowning.
"He ran away when I told you" Sakura lied.
"That jerk!" Tomoyo muttered.
"See ya later Tomoyo, I still got a class" Sakura said skipping away.
Syaoran sat on the soccer field. It was his vacant time, his class was still another hour away. His morning wasn't so bad. Though there were girls who keep on flirting at him. None of them interested him. He had only one true love, Kari.
"Are you sure?"
"What kind of question is that course I am!"
"Are you sure she's you're one true love?"
"I- I don't understand!" Syaoran frowned.
A hand touched his shoulder. Startled, Syaoran looked up.
"Meilin!" he gasped.
"Do you always say your thoughts aloud?" She sat down right next to him.
Syaoran reddened. "What do you mean if I'm sure Kari is my true love?"
Meilin just gave a mysterious smile. Hey everybody seems to have mysterious smiles these days!
"What I mean to say is, are you sure it's not someone else?"
"I love Kari" Syaoran said firmly. He looked away to the field. He didn't see Meiling's sad expression.
What she really wanted to say was, are you sure it's Kari and not someone else before your accident? Kari was the daughter of the doctor who treated him. She stayed by his side and took care of him. The girl was really beautiful and Meilin couldn't blame her cousin for falling for Kari. The girl was nice really nice… but what about Sakura-chan?
"I'm staying here with you" She said quietly.
"For how long?" Syaoran asked stiffly. He was angry. Everyone was hiding secrets from him.
Meilin looked down. "I-if you don't like the idea… th-then I'll just go back to Hong Kong this evening." She said in a small voice.
"Hey I didn't mean it that way" Syaoran held Meilin's hand.
"It's alright Syaoran I understand how you feel…" But you're still lucky compared to the other person. She wished she could just tell him about Sakura. But it was forbidden. Yelan forbade it.
Syaoran has to find out on his own Meilin… If they're really destined for each other then he'll remember… let nature take its course let's not interrupt something bad might happen…
She even forbade Sakura to go to Hong Kong to see him when he was still recovering. Sakura had wanted so desperately to go…
Why can't I come! I want to be by his side! I want to see him for myself!
No Sakura… promise me you won't do anything drastic… promise me you'll not call him or write to him most especially see him.
But why! WHY! I want to see him! I'm his girlfriend!
You can see him when he remembers you.
How will he remember me if he'll not see me or hear anything about me?
Just wait… maybe I'll do something but for the mean time stay away… something bad might happen to him please understand… promise me Sakura…
… I… I… pr-promi…se…
"Sumemasen! I should never had come in"
"No you shouldn't have" Eriol leaned against the door.
Sakura giggled. The video tape turned out to be the video of what happened that first day of school.
Tomoyo reddened furiously. Who wouldn't? Eriol looked really hot!
"Err… I guess you still have to change so I'll just go" Tomoyo said trying to sound cool but her blush betrayed her. Eriol gave an amused smile.
"Leaving so early?" He looked at her straight in the eyes. "I don't suppose you'll just let a person go especially if you find him in your room snooping"
"I-I'm sorry… I was just curious— what are you going to do?" Tomoyo backed away. Eriol was walking towards her.
"I'm curious how your lips taste" He said bending towards her when they were only inches apart.
"You won't!" Tomoyo said backing away again. But she found out she was already against the wall.
"Oh I will" Eriol smiled bending lower till their breaths were mingling.
"You cant—" Tomoyo's protest was cut of but Eriol's kiss.
"Kyaaaa!" Sakura placed her hands on her cheeks. "Sooo kaawaaaiiii!!!!"
Tomoyo was stunned after the kiss. She just stood there until Eriol laughed.
"Has no one ever kissed you before?"
"You!" Tomoyo tried to slap him but he was too fast for her.
"You're lips do taste good! It's addictive you know, I'd love to taste it again"
"And what makes you think I'll allow it?" Tomoyo glared at him, tomato red.
"I'll give the tape to you if you'll allow another kiss"
"What tape?" Tomoyo asked horrified.
Her eyes trailed to what must be the camera for her face was focused on the screen.
"But you can always choose not to, the tape would be a good remembrance to me of our first meeting. You don't have to worry I won't show it to someone else" he smiled. He turned around facing his cabinet.
"Weren't you leaving?" he asked Tomoyo when she still haven't moved. "But I won't mind if you want to watch me change" he grinned.
Tomoyo turned redder than a tomato and strode out immediately and slammed the door shut.
The screen turned blank then.
'Eriol must have claimed his kiss yesterday or else he won't put the tape on her bag right?' Sakura thought.
"Enjoyed it?" Eriol's voice said behind her.
Sakura looked back from the sofa. She grinned impishly. "Did she kiss you yesterday?" Sakura asked.
"No" Eriol answered.
"hmm… did you?"
"did what?"
"kiss her?"
"no"
"Are you angry?"
"Not really "
"So you're a little angry"
"Well you were umm… intruding Tomoyo's privacy"
"And yours as well… did she tell you then that I got the tape from her?"
"No, I saw it"
"You were following us then"
"Yes"
"Why did you return the tape?"
"I… don't know"
Sakura smiled. "Doing something you didn't really want to do if you had your choice without worrying about anything, but for the sake of a certain someone you did it anyway is a dangerous sign my friend."
"It's not really dangerous if you think it's not." Eriol answered.
"So you're not afraid then… to fall in love"
"No… unlike your friend who is"
"Good for you… don't play at her, take good care of her"
Eriol just smiled. "You better give that back to her"
"Yeah I will"
A.N. What will Meilin do? Will she help Syaoranand Sakura or will she leave nature to take its course?Read and Review please. I'm leaning too much on Eriol and Tomoyo, I know. I promise I'll do better with Syaoran and Sakura. But I really enjoyed writing this Chapter. I hope you enjoyed it as well. Comments? Suggestions? Keep them coming.
