Chapter 7 - Raining Chocolates
As Syaoran opened his locker a million boxes of chocolates rained out, along with lots of notes. Syaoran bent to pick one up. " Love letters!" he said disgustedly. Shoving the chocolates in his bag, he slammed his locker shut.
" Someone's in a bad mood!" Kai observed. Syaoran ignored him and started walking down the stairs, towards the oval.
" You should be more appreciated of your female admirers. Hundreds of starry eyed girls going out of their way to buy you, your beloved chocolate, I mean it's only Valentines Day," Kai said with a smirk.
Syaoran glared at him. "Thanks so much for that, I REALLY wanted your opinion!" Syaoran sourly drawled.
" No problem!" Kai answered, cheerfully. " but before you puncture everyone's happy spirits do you mind telling me what's wrong.
" Sure I'll tell you! It's chirpy, loud, bubbly, boisterous, unruly, annoying stupid, weird, insane, pestering idiots like you, bothering me!" Syaoran said in a falsely high tone. (Woah, I'm all dizzy now - too many adjectives.@_@)
" A simple 'leave me alone' would've done just fine, but as usual you have to go completely overboard and psycho!"
" I've earned the right," Syaoran said bitterly, blocking the rest of Kai's words as he remembered what HAD been bothering him.
///Flash back///
Syaoran was walking down the hallway uneasily glancing at all the girls that were staring back at him with a dreamy expression plastered on their wishful faces.
" Have you given Li-Kun your chocolate yet?" he heard one girl ask her friend.
" Nup! I haven't had the guts to. I mean half the girls in our school's given them to him!"
Why me? Syaoran thought irritably. For the whole day he's had to put up with not only the love sick girls, but also all the jealous guys totally unaware that every time they'd muttered such words as: ' What's that guy got that we haven't?' or 'Fag!' he'd heard every single word. Finally as if on cue, the guy Syaoran despised the most made HIS comment.
"Li. You sad bastard. How can you keep on leading these girls on? Personally I fail to see what's so good about you. Every word that exits your mouth is dripping with disdain," Eriol started ticking other comments off on his fingers, while Syaoran could only scowl. " Your hair is so unmanageable and last century…"
" What would YOU know Hiragizawa? I'm still surprised that anyone can look at you?!"
" Same to you my friend. Bad looks run in the family - must've been your mother."
Syaoran suddenly tensed up. " Don't-you-ever-talk-about-my-mother-in-that-way-AGAIN!" Syaoran hotly said, fighting the urge to rip Eriol apart. Eriol seeing that he had hit a soft spot, started ' rubbing in the salt on the wound' (Or something like that…^_^)
" yeah that's right!" he sneered, " Your mother finally conked it when she looked in the mirror. Saw the truth she did. Became traumatized when the glass cracked!……………or was it because of YOU?" Eriol accused.
" That's IT!" Syaoran yelled, running up to a surprised Eriol. Syaoran dropped his books and roughly grabbed Eriol by his collar and violently shoved him into the wall. (woah! Go Syaoran!!!! Mental note: never piss syaoran off O.o)
" I've heard enough of your insults Hiragizawa! I don't give a shit how many insults you can come up with about me - but one more crack about my mother and you'll wish that you were never-"
" Eriol!" Sakura cried, alarmed. " What are you doing Li?"
Syaoran released his grip on Eriol's collar, startled. Eriol rubbed his neck, glaring daggers at Syaoran.
" You ought to be locked up, you violent bastard!" Eriol remarked, though a flash of sorrow entered his eyes. Syaoran clenched his fists again, but was distracted by the look on Sakura's face.
" How could you do that Li-kun?" she asked, fear showing in her eyes.
Syaoran frowned harder, ashamed at his temper. " You got deserved everything you got," he said quietly, eyeing Eriol fiercely.
" Oh really?" Eriol quietly murmured. Snapping out of it, he glanced at Sakura. " See you later Sakura," he said, swiftly kissing her on the cheek before walking away.
" Why Li-kun?" Sakura asked timidly, " Why?"
///end of flash back///
Sakura's disappointment and confused face still haunted Syaoran.
" I heard about your fight today," Kai tried. Syaoran didn't say anything, but didn't need to.
" It hurts you right?"
" What does?"
" seeing her face when you did that?"
" how would you know what her expression was?" Syaoran sked, unconvinced. Kai smiled grimly," I know her well enough."
" Good for you."
" I understand you know?"
" Understand what?"
" How you feel."
" how I feel about what?"
" Sakura!"
" Did you get hit on the head or something Kai?" Syaoran laughed.
" That's bull crap Syaoran and you know it. I've seen the way you act around her."
Syaoran scowled, ' Give me one good example smart ass." he challenged.
" After soccer practise last week. I saw you almost kiss her."
" Now look who's talking bull crap!"
" Look Syaoran, I'm only trying to help. Stop denying your feelings!"
" Well stop trying to help. I have no idea what you are talking about, the only person I love is Kami."
" I think we both know that's a lie."
" What would you know Kai? You don't know anything about me! And you call yourself my best friend!"
" That's way harsh Syaoran."
" I don't give a damn." Kai glared at Syaoran solemnly, " I hate you for that," he said softly and walked away.
" Oh that's just great!" Syaoran groaned.

Sakuira rolled over for like the 50th time in her bed. I so failed the math's test…I need help - but who? Tomoyo? Nah, Tomoyo has enough stress with her cousins wedding. Yumei? No, if I asked for her help, I'd fail for sure! Eriol? Sakura sighed. I don't feel comfortable around him anymore. But who else is there? Sakura rolled over again. No way. Syaoran would never agree to it. He doesn't need some dumb girl taking up his time… Sakura closed her eyes, finally feeling sleepy. I'll just worry about it tomorrow.
***
Sakura was in a rush. " Why am I always so late?" Sakura wailed as she hurled around the corner. It was early in the morning, but the sun was still shining through the leaves of the many Cherry Blossom trees. Sakura on the other hand didn't have time to admire the gorgeous scenery as she cursed her alarm clock for not going off on the right time.
" Please don't ring, please don't ring, please don't ring, onegai!!!" She urged the school bell. Hang on! This feels like mega Déjà vu!
At last she saw the school gate and tried to slow her blades down. She wasn't entirely happy about going to school, after all who was? But she was eager to see her friends again - not to mention…Who was it again? I can't remember. I really wanted to see them though…
She was about to reach the main building when her blades interacted with a stick on the ground. Sakura desperately tried to gain control but lost her balance. She grimaced and fought the terrified urge to clench her eyes close. Wasn't somebody here last time? She bit her tongue hard as she crashed violently to the ground. The pain burst through her, as strong as hot poker touching her.
" You should be more careful Sakura."
She looked up and saw Kai - Kai helped her up gently. It wasn't the same. A sad voice sounded in her head. HE wasn't there this time…
"Are you alright Sakura?" Sakura spun around hoping it was him. Tears rolled down her face as she saw it was Eriol.
"What happened Sakura?" Yumei asked.
"Oh my gosh are you alright?" Yukima asked.
"Sakura-chan! What happened?" Tomoyo asked.
Faces spun and leered at her, but none of them was HIM. The tears came more frequently, and she started to feel dizzy. " Where are you SYAORAN???" She yelled out as loud as she could, but it was just in vain, as everyone else's concerned chatter drowned it out. She tried to scream his name out again. Eventually her head hurt from all the noise and her tears blinded her, causing her to fall down with a light thud…
Sakura woke up startled, her body covered with damp sweat. What was with that dream? Why do I still fell so alone? Sakura clutched her pillow harder. Do I really need Syaoran THAT much? I remember Dad once telling me that when you dream, it's your mind's way of dealing with stress in your subconscious…I wonder if that's true. And then it finally dawned on Sakura -finally she realised the truth that had been haunting her the past days: "Syaoran…I-I…I guess I'm in love with you." Sakura whispered. " No that's not right, more like I'm completely SMITTEN with you!" Sakura softly told herself, a smile forming on her lips. That sounds so cool to say! Aishiteru Syaoran-kun! It feels good to let it out! "I LOVE YOU SYAORAN!" She yelled out.
"SHUT UP Kaijuu!" Touya called out sleepily. Sakura covered her mouth in embarrassment. Whoops…
***
Syaoran couldn't sleep. He gazed out of his window at the calming moonlight. Sitting up further he slid out of bed and opened the door leading out to the balcony. Handing over the edge of it he looked down at the marvellous view in front of him - the sparkling sea, the stars reflected in it's smooth surface. A real night for romantics! He decided.
Syaoran's eyes wandered and he stood straighter as he saw a red light approaching in the distance. He followed it with his attentive eyes until it disappeared into a same trees.
Syaoran glanced back up to look at the sea again, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the red light turn into his driveway. Fully awake and slightly anxious Syaoran leant further out to peer at the vehicle that was trespassing in the driveway. He frowned as he heard a car door slam. Who the hell is this person? They have the nerve to actually get out! Should I call the police or something?" (*creepy music starts playing like in the freaky movies*)
"WHO ArE YoU DudE?" A familiar voice called out loudly, glancing up at Syaoran. Of course being late at night the shout was magnified even louder. Syaoran cringed and shakily called back,"None of your business. Now get out of my driveway now, before I call the police!"
"Is thAT you siMON?" the drunken voice called out again. Syaoran stared, his body tensing up. No! it can't be! Not you! Not now…!
"Stay right there and I'll open the door for you."
"WhateVEr SImon! FanCY HAvinG A driNK WITh meeEE?" The person slurred. Syaoran shook his head disgustedly. Opening the front door, his firece amber eyes stared at the figure. "Not thanks. I don't drink. And SHUT UP! You're going to wake up the whole of Japan!"
"We'RE iN JapAN?"
"yes, now Get inside!" syaoran didn't wait for a response as he grabbed the man's wrist and forcefully pulled him inside, slamming the door shut behind him. The man gurgled what sounded like a laugh and then collapsed head down onto the floor. Syaoran glared at the pathetic man lying in fornt of him.
"What's with all the noise 'nni-chan?" a sleepy Hiroki asked, peering down from the top stair. Oh no! Why'd Hiroki have to see him when he's in such a state??!! Syaoran gulped and looked Hiroki in the eye.
"Looks like…Dad's home…"
TO BE CONTINUES
Quite a short chap ne? GOMEN!!!! It just seemed like the right spot to end it. Unfortunately that drunken weirdo was syaoran's father! I know his dad was supposed to have died when Syaoran was young, but I'm changing the storyline k?
If you haven't voted yet on whether Syaoran should play guitar or the drums in the band, feel free to do it. (but so you know, it'll be like 2 more chapters or so, before the band thing actually starts)
Lots of reviews = good chappies (and a happy me ^_^)
