-SL- Oh my gods, I was just reading over my fic then I realized there were a lot of errors in spelling and grammer, note this, I am usually one to type grammer properly. I don't know what happened but for any of you who had difficulty reading it, I'm sorry. This and the rest of the other chapters later on will be looked over as thoroughly as possibly. If I ever get to finish this whole fic, then I'll go back and correct them. Arigatou minna!
Son of the Li Clan: chapter 2 - Baby, Please...
-«-Lin Zhao High-»-
Only the second day of her coming here and she was already the most feared girl in school. Sakura sighed as she walked down the hall to Tomoyo's class room. Sure, it was a little early, Tomoyo wasn't there, there was a little crowding in the hall, but everything else was fine... except for everyone constantly staring at her as if she had suddenly grown and extra extremity without her knowing. As she walked, a certain girl caught her eye. She had waistlength raven black hair that were in two pigtails, little meatballs atop her head, and she gazed at Sakura with fiery crimson eyes.
Sakura quickened her pace and walked by the girl, but ended up bumping into someone else. "Oh, sorry," she immediately apologizedand looking up, emerald meeting amber in an instant. Xiao Lang looked as if he were about to say something, but the brunette girl rushed over to him and immediately attached herself to one of his arms.
"Oh, Xiao Lang! Did that bitch hurt you?" she asked sweetly.
'Bitch!' Sakura thought outraged. She gave the girl the best venomous glare she could muster, but the girl didn't seem to notice. Didn't notice, or didn't care...
He sighed as her looked down at her with annoyance only Sakura could see, "Ying Fa didn't do anything, it was an accident, Meiling... and can you please let go of me now?"
Meiling gave a sympathetic look to him then threw a nasty look to Sakura before she hesitantly walked over to her little group. Xiao Lang watched her for a few moments before turning his attention to Sakura and stared at her, Sakura mimicing his actions for a while before she pulled her now fisted hand back then threw it forward, punching him in the arm. He was a little taken back by her action, and even more surprised that it hurt too! He started to rub the spot on his arm, visibly mouthing an exaggerated 'ow!'
Sakura huffed as she walked past him, roughly knocking against his shoulder. After a while and she rounded a corner and sighed, dropping her pissed look. 'Damn it, whats wrong with me? It's only the second day of the mission and I'm already starting to feel something for the jerkass... and why do I have this nagging feeling that I know him from somewhere?' she thought, staring at her feet. She started to walk again until she bumped into something else, nearly ending up flat on her butt until a hand grabbed onto the bend of her arm.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Are you all right?" asked a male voice.
Sakura looked up and instantly caught the most gorgeous cerulean eyes she's ever seen. She looked up at the male who was apologetically smiling down at her, noting the dirty blonde hair that fell freely over his face and just a little past his shoulders, framingtheangel-like features of his face. He was perfect!... Well, look wise anyways.
"U-um, yeah... yeah, I'm good," Sakura stuttered nervously like a little school girl facing her crush.
What happened next nearly made Sakura swoon. Slowly, he bowed his upper body then strightened a little as he reached for one of her hands, gently bringing it to his lips and layed a small kiss atop it. Now, this wasn't all that special to Sakura, but it was just the way he did it! There was just something smooth about it, like he'd done this a million time. Well, he probably had...
"I'm Xiao Su," he said with a boyish grin that made him look unbelievable cute.
"I'm Sa- Ying Fa," Sakura said quickly catching herself.
"Saying Fa? Well that's a peculiar name," he stated.
She giggled giddily which was highly unlike herself and raised her free hand to cover her wide grin, "I'm sorry, Ying Fa, Ying Fa Kinomoto."
"Ah, I see, all right. It's very much a pleasure to meet Miss Kinomoto, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day," he charmed her with another one of his enchanting grins and headed off in the direction she just came from.
Sakura watched until he rounded the corner before she let her grin slide with a slow sigh, an aggitated appearence now taking form. She slightly stuck out her tongue and knocked her head lightly with a fist.
"Baka no Sakura, what the hell is wrong with you? They're just high schoolers... who just happen to be your age-Ah fuck it!"
'No matter what I'm still only eighteen so of course I'll always have the brain of a teen right now. Shimatta...' She groaned inwardly as she lened against a locker heavily and hung her head.
-«-Lunch Period-»-
Sakura looked around the room which was their lunch area. It was a large room with a tiled floor of black and white and bland tan walls. Ugly? Yeah, she knows... There were a few arches to her right that led to yet another one of the school's yards making this the fifth one she found in the two days. She sighed as she saw that most of the round teal tables were full and started to wander about with her tray until she say a free table with only one individual.
Sakura smiled politely at the person who appeared to be a male and rested her tray on the opposing end of the table but didn't sit down herself. She wasn't really expecting a reply as she noted that the person was practically drowing in the magazine they were reading, "Um, yeah, hi. You don't mind if I sit here do you? Everywhere else is kinda full."
Like she predicted, no response. She didn't think she was bothering or would be botheringthe person so she just took it upon her self to sit down and looked at her tray. Pizza, mashed potatoes, stringed beans, and an icecream bar.
Sakura leaned over the pizza and inhaled its aroma intensely, breaking out in a wide grin afterwards, "You know, Its funny. I was never really all that fond of cafeteria found, but this doesn't smell all that bad." She tried to bring up a conversation.
The guy didn't bother to stop reading his magazine, but only grunted in response.
Sakura sighed and took hold of the plastic knife and fork on the tray before she began to cut the pizza before placing it into her mouth, this action catching his attention. His amber eyes widened but quickly lowered as he placed both his arms folded on the table and leaned in towards her.
"You know, it's kinda funny. Don't get me wrong or anything, but I've been watching you. Can you beieve how much you remind me of someone I use to know?" he asked as he continued to watch her mezmorized.
Sakura looked across at him with slight intrest as she continued to eat, "Oh, really? You know, it's funny, too, you reminded me of a kid I once knew? How's about we tell each other whose the person we're reminded of. No harm in that, right?"
Syaoran nodded his head in agreement.
"No harm,"
Sakura started to count with her fingers silently until it reached three...
"Sakura Kinomoto/Syoran Li," they said simutaniously. They stared at each other in shock.
This... was not... happening...
Sakura looked at him as she felt her eyes begin to water, "Syaoran?"
Syaoran looked on at her in equal astonishment, "Sakura..."
Sakura lowered her head as she slowly stoodto her feetfrom her seat at the table, "Y... your... you... you..."
"I what?" he asked quietly.
"You... bastard..." came her frigid tone. She swiftly raised her gaze to reveal a stream of tears falling from hostile emerald eyes.
Syaoran looked at her as if she'd gone mad or something, "W-what?"
"You idiotic, good-for-nothing, mother fucking bastard!" she screamed, slamming a fist to the table with much force nearly making it fall over, this action causing many eyes to turn in their direction.
"What!" He stood quickly from his seat making it fall over with a loud matallic rattling. "You have no right to me a bastard, Sakura! Especially after that stunt you pulled six years ago!"
"Kutabacchimae!" Sakura growled as shedropped her hands down roughly on the table and launched herself over the table at him. He quickly dodged her assult but was surprised when she caught herself on both hands and brought her legs around in an undersweep. He tried to jump above her legs but his foot got caught into hers and he tripped, barely mising the end of the table.
'Since when did she get this good?' he thought as he rolled from under the side of the table just missing the foot she floored with potent force. None really noticed the crowd that was forming around them until her attacks came to a pause and they both looked around, Sakura thanking Kami that they were in the yard area and not in the room.
"Damn it, Syaoran, I knew you were mean at times, but this? Acting like you did nothing wrong?" Sakura said panting lightly.
"I have no clue of what you're talking about. If anyone should be blamed for doing anything wrong, it should be you of all people!" he growled, but it didn't come out as threatening as he planned due to his panting as well.
"Don't you dare say anything like that you creep!" she came at him with a series of punches he all blocked. She swung her fist to the side which he blocked with an arm then she rounded her other arm in the same manner, but he just blocked it with his other free arm so nowboth his arms and both her hers were at the side of his face. He smirked at her noting that she was using the same fighting method she hadaquired when they were young and training together. He switch his arms around so that her her arms were entwined with his and he held her arms in his hand while she did the same.
"You know, Sakura, you've got a lot of nerve, really you do. Ying Fa? Ha! Going under a false name..." he growled.
She mimiced his growl as they just stayed there gripping the others arms as tightly as they could, "Think again you ass, I told you when we were eleven that I was half Chinese. Ying Fa is my real name!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it! Now, what in the world is going on?" Came a random teacher from the audience.
Sakura and Syaoran payed no attention to them as they stared only at each other, panting heavily from their bout.
"It's nothing, he just has something that belongs to me is all," Sakura said as she lowered her gaze turning it to the side. She grimaced as swiftly yanked herself free from him and she turned to leave.
"Now what are you going on about! What can I possibly have to give back to you?" he asked about her statement.
"My heart..." she said quietly so that no one could hear, but the words faintly caught Syaoran's ears and made his heart jump.
'Her... heart...?' he thought dumbly as he stared at her form retreating through the crowd.
"Xiao Lang!" Syaoran slowly turned around before he felt a smaller form latch itself to him.
He dazedly looked down at the raven haired nuisance that was his cousin. He cringed inwardly, 'And fiancée.' He said nothing as he gently pushed her off him, which surprisedd her some cause he was never really all that gentle with her, and he pushed his way through the crowd going the opposite direction Sakura had left saying quiet 'excuse me's as he did.
-SL- Yay, I finally got the second chapter up! I know, it took so long, I'm really, really, really, really sorry! I apologize way too much... Anyways, thank MewMew for the idea of the the sum.
