Ice Queen

Chapter Fourteen

Their eyes both closed, Sakura and Syaoran leaned forward their lips just barely brushing-

"Sakura!" a boy with jet black hair rushed between her and Syaoran. "What's going on?! Who is this guy?"

After receiving numerous glares from the audience, Sakura dragged both Syaoran and the new boy out of the theatre.

"Sakura, who is this?" Syaoran seemed extremely mad. It was interesting to Sakura since she had never seen him really loose his temper before, she would have teased him if not for the situation at hand.

"Syaoran... this is my EX-boyfriend Akira," Sakura emphasized the EX and glared at the boy with coal black eyes. "I have NO intention of ever letting him be my boyfriend EVER again."

Sakura's POV

Ok Sakura. Stay cool. Don't panic.

Through her cold and angry exterior tears were threatening to fall. She let them flow inwardly.

"But Sakura, I really love you," Akira's voice was sweet. "I need you. I'm so sorry for before. It was an accident a misunderstanding, really! I'm sorry... Don't worry. I'm here now... you can ignore losers like this Syaoran guy here."

Within a second Akira was sprawled out on the floor, clutching his stomach. Both Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other. They both loosened their fists at the same time. (Hint: For those of you who didn't realize. They both punched Akira.)

"Shut the h up, Akira," Sakura spat. "If he's a loser then you're dirt. I don't need you... I've been doing fine!"

The boy had recovered surprisingly fast and smiled up at her, "I still love you... I'll wait for you forever if need be. I want to bring the old Sakura back. The one who was loving and caring. You say you're fine, but look at you now! Suffering and alone. I'll help you."

"Not alone," Syaoran had stepped in front of Sakura. Hiding her from the boy who was lying on the ground pathetically.

Maybe he does love me... Stop it Sakura! You can NOT think like that! Remember the many times he wooed you with the same exact speech?! This time is no different.

Besides... you have Syaoran now.

W-what?! What does Syaoran have to do with this?!

You like him.

No I don't!

Yes you do!

I don't need anyone... including this annoying second voice in my head!

Ouch.

"Akira. I do NOT need you. Get off your high horse and open your eyes. You were cruel and manipulative to me. Betraying and hurtful. You aren't any different now," Sakura had to look away.

A single crystal tear glistened at the corner of her eye. Using her bangs to shadow her face she hissed, "Get out of my life... now and forever more... I left Osaka to leave you and that s guardian of mine. Don't come looking for me... I'll kill you."

Turning on her heel, Sakura stormed off, Syaoran not far behind. When Akira took a step to follow them Syaoran shot a killer glare over at him. Needless to say that stopped him in his tracks.

Dang it. Why does he mean so much to me? How come he can still make me cry? I thought I got over it. How he hurt me... betrayed me... I know I can never forgive him or trust him.

Without realizing it, Sakura had already arrived in her living room and was curled up in a ball rocking back and forth on the sofa.

Syaoran's POV

Who the h was that ahole?! Oh my gosh! Sakura!

Syaoran rushed to her side and enclosed her small form in his arms. He gently rocked her back and forth and whispered comforting words in her ear.

What happened between you and him?

"Don't worry Sakura," Syaoran whispered. "I won't let him hurt you... again. Shhh... It's ok now. I won't let him touch you."

H no! Sakura is mine!

Whoa. Slow down lover boy.

I didn't mean that!

Yes you did!

No I didn't!

Yes you did!

Shut up.

...

Slowly, Sakura stopped trembling and calmed down a little.

"It's ok Sakura," Syaoran lifted her up and carried her over to her room. "There you go. Just sleep on it... you'll be yourself in the morning."

He turned to leave.

Sakura's POV

No! Is he going to leave me alone?!

She grabbed him by his shirt tugging on it, trying to get him to stay. "C- can you stay here tonight? Nothing will happen... just... just don't leave me alone... please."

When was the last time I begged anyone for anything? Let alone not leaving me... It's ok though... it's Syaoran.

Syaoran stiffened then nodded and sat down on her bed. Sighign with relief, Sakura pulled the covers over herself but leaned her head on his arm.

Hesitating, Syaoran pulled her closer to him and semi-hugged her, smiling as he noticed how relaxed she was.

That's right. It's ok... it's ok now...

... I have Syaoran...
