Chapter 4: Sorry For my Mask

"Oh no……….." He muttered to himself. Sakura, sensing something wrong with Li, asked.

"What's wrong? It's like you've seen a ghost."

"Mei Lin……….." Li suddenly replied. He just saw Mei Lin! What would Mei Lin do to Sakura if she saw them both……….. something worse than earlier.

"Mei Lin?" Sakura asked. Li, sensing, that Mei Lin would soon look at where they are, decided to make a show. Then, as he thought, her eyes caught to both of them.

"I'm sorry Sakura." He bowed at her and pushed her to the ground.

"Li?" Sakura looked at her with surprised Emerald eyes. Mei Lin happened to see this.

"Li? Doshite Li?" Sakura asked in a scared voice.

"Shut up! I don't care about you!" Li shouted at Sakura. "So don't get in my way."

"Hmph! That suits her." Mei turned back. Li, seeing her gone, sighed with relief.

"Li?" Sakura asked again. Li turned his attention to her. He helped her stand up.

"Li?" Sakura asked with a shaky voice. His name was the only she can let go from her mouth. It all seemed like a dream, Li was nice to her a second and now………..he pushes her to the ground. "Why?" She muttered out.

"Oh, sorry Sakura………….." Li wasn't finished when Sakura ran like the wind.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Li called out, but she wouldn't stop at all. She ran away from him.

"I knew he wouldn't like me too………" She muttered, trying to stop her tears from crying.

"Oh my, I think she had the wrong idea." Li muttered. He decided to follow her, but by that time, her figure wasn't there anymore.

"Damn!" Li said as he ran to look for her. Searching every here and there of the school, asking every person he sees and even getting other girls mixed up as Sakura.

Meanwhile………………

Eriol and Tomoyo just finished eating and were ready to go back to class.

"That was a nice chat Tomoyo, thank you." Eriol thanked.

"(nods) You're very welcome." Tomoyo replied. Then, Sakura happened to pass by them, not seeing anyone in her way. She walked her sadness with her. Sensing Li didn't follow her, she walked.

"I knew it was too good to be true!" She shouted to herself.

"Hey Sakura!" Tomoyo waved her hand but Sakura didn't seem to care.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura didn't care who was there. She solemnly passed Tomoyo and Eriol. Tomoyo reached her hand to ask but Eriol took it.

"Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.

"Let her be, she can handle it in her own. We might make it worse if we interfere with her." Eriol said. Tomoyo nodded and left Sakura.

"Darn it Li! What'd you do now, you idiot?" Eriol cursed his cousin.

Sakura silently sat on a bench alone beside a very old tree in their school, it was never cut down, for them it was a value. She looked at everyone that pass or walk around.

"I knew it was too soon. No guy has liked me, if they had, Mei Lin would've stolen them already, even though she didn't like boys. She's do anything to steal my happiness." Sakura talked to herself, discouraging herself.

Meanwhile…………..

"Are you sure Sakura can handle it?" Tomoyo asked. "She always goes for me in those kinds of things."

"I'm pretty sure. That happened to Sharoan once." Eriol said.

"Happened to Sharoan, you mean Li? It can't be, it seems impossible." Tomoyo replied.

"I've with him since birth. I know what happened to him, what he likes and other info's. I

help him whenever he needs me…….cause I know I'm the only one who can."

"Eriol, you've stuck with him for a long time. But, why?"

"What do you mean by why?"

"Don't get the wrong idea but Li's seems to be sometimes……………. just too much, you get me?"

"I know that already. They ask me that same reason over and over, it pisses me off."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Tomoyo apologized. Eriol didn't answer when………..

"Eriol!" A familiar voice shouted out.

"And that's my cue." Eriol muttered.

"Li?" Tomoyo asked. Li stopped in front of them, panting from all the running.

"What's the matter?" Eriol asked calm.

"Have you guys seen Sakura?" Li asked immediately.

"Yeah, she passed by us." Tomoyo replied.

"Where do you think she's heading?" Li asked.

"I think in the old tree." Tomoyo answered.

"Old what," Both Li and Eriol exclaimed.

"The old tree at the back of the elementary building, Sakura often goes there if she's sad or something." Tomoyo explained.

"Thanks!" Li replied as he ran to where Sakura was.

"I thought you were the one to help him?" Tomoyo asked, being sarcastic.

"Well, you're different." Eriol smiled.

"Hmmm…….I'll take that as a complement."

"I don't mind if you do."

Sakura laid there, trying to stop her tears from falling.

"Damn this tears, stop!" Sakura ordered to herself. "But, why do I feel this way?" She said as she put her hand over her left chest. "I don't feel anything like this when a boy does this to me. Why? I don't even feel like this when others deceive. There's just something connecting me with Li. Something…………..but I just can't work it out. There's something that makes him different from other boys. I just can't help but feel this way even when I saw him, but I pushed those feelings aside. I never felt like this to any boy, ugly or handsome. Maybe………………….no! It can't be! It just can't be!" Sakura kept thinking this feeling off her mind. "It just can't be!" She kept denying what she felt. She shook her head with her hands. "It just can't be……….." She muttered as her voice became gentle. She smiled and stood up, as she was sitting. "I don't know why, but I feel something good will come……………" She muttered. Then, from a far, she heard a familiar voice.

"Sakura!" He called out.

"Li?" She muttered to herself. "No, it can't be him, impossible." She shook it off. Then, she looked up to where the voice where. She saw a running figure, somewhat really, really familiar. "It just can't be……….."

"Sakura!" He called out again. Then, he passed through the bushes and…………………

Li!" Sakura shouted out. Li ran as fast as he can to her. Sakura stood there, it seemed that she was waiting for him. She can't move, something was stopping her, she stood there. Li came running toward her then………..

"I'm so sorry, Sakura." Li muttered onto her ears. Sakura was trapped in his arms, in a tight warm embrace.

"Li? Why are you here? I thought you…………you didn't………." Sakura was tongue-tied. She didn't want to ask, but her lips acted on their own.

"Shh…….I care Sakura. Don't worry." Li said calm.

"Then, why push me aside?" Sakura asked,

"Because……….." Li gently let her go and smiled. "I saw Mei Lin, if she has seen us and I haven't pushed you, she might do something worse than to push you aside. All you saw was untrue, they were just masks. Please, forgive me."

"It's ok. Now I know you care……………….even if you haven't told me that." Sakura replied.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Li asked. Sakura smiled at him.

"Just don't think about it……….." She muttered.

"Li! Sakura!" A feminine voice shouted out, "Come on you guys, we're gonna be late for the next class."

"Yeah, Sharoan and Kinomoto, faster!" A male voice called out. "This building is far away from the high school one so faster!"

"Shall we go, then?" Li asked gentleman like. Sakura nodded and they ran as fast as they can. They passed along Tomoyo and Eriol, who called them out.

"Thanks for reminding us, Eriol." Li said. They were all running as fast as they can.

"It's no problem." Eriol replied. "But next time, be careful……… Idiot."

"Why you?" Li got lost of his temper. He could have patience on anyone except Eriol. It's a family thing. (That happens a lot of time on I. I get angry fast with me brother, I beat him up)

"Guys! This isn't time for fighting!" Tomoyo butted in.

"Yeah! Run!" Sakura shouted.

Even thought they were running, Sakura was very happy that not only one person cared for her, someone she could always trust. ………………. A person like Li………….
