Chapter 7: I am strong now………………….

After first half of school………………

Sakura and Li talked together under the "old tree."

"So, she told you not to talk to me. But, why talk to me? It's suicide." Li asked.

"I knew you'd ask that." Sakura smiled and looked at the blue sky. "But, you're also that one made me do it."

"What?" Li replied to this.

"Here." Sakura gave him a particular letter. "Thanks to this, I had the courage to talk to you." Li opened it and saw his own hand writing. He read it and blushed.

"Uhm……………" Li muttered. "So………….." Sakura smiled at him. He looked away, trying not make their eyes meet.

"Thanks a lot, Li." Sakura looked at the sky and smiled. "I haven't noticed it, but I can also be strong."

"Huh?" Li asked.

"You see, when I was small, my mom died and my dad left with my brother leaving me with Fyrurei and Mei Lin Then, they started to bully me around. I never thought I could be strong, ever. My life was always hidden. Then, you gave me that letter. I'm very happy and thankful you did." Li smiled and her but, his eyes saw her cut on the face.

"So, where did that scratch came from?" He asked. Sakura held her face and brushed in gently.

"Don't worry." Sakura said. "I'm fine."

"She beat you up again, right?" Li said as he stood up and felt the soft gentle breeze brush through his messy brown hair.

"Yeah, she cut me with a knife."

"What?" Li shouted.

"But, it's ok……."

"Ok? How can that be ok? She might have killed you!"

"Li, don't think about that."

"What? What the heck do you mean? How can I do that?"

"Li, you told me to be strong. I won't cry anymore. I won't let her beat me again. I won't let anyone beat me again. I will be strong." Li calmed down. He sighed and sat down.

"I guess you're right." Li replied. Sakura smiled at him, he returned it.

"Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"I just want you to know that, I'll always be here. I will always be here as a shoulder."

"I know that Li, you wrote it in the letter." Sakura looked at her lap. "I'll always have you here." Then, a female figure walked to them. She had long hair and a fierce aura.

"Mei Lin……………."Sakura muttered. The figure walked nearer and nearer as they finally reached them both.

"Sakura!" Her voice called out harshly.

"Mei Lin!" Sakura gasped. She was about to turn back again when…………

"Sakura, you will be strong." Li whispered. Sakura looked back. She saw Mei Lin with her fierce amber eyes.

"I promise I will be." She replied back. Li nodded as they faced the fierce Mei Lin.

Meanwhile…………………..

"Huh?" Tomoyo said out of the blue.

"What's wrong Tomoyo?" Eriol asked.

"I sense something bad." Tomoyo replied with a worried voice.

"Now Tomoyo, calm down. That can't be."

"Just not sure……………" Tomoyo muttered as she looked up to the sky.

"Well, if you want, we can check it out?" Eriol suggested.

"Sure."

"So, where do you sense it?"

"Where Sakura and Li are…….."

"Well then, let's go." Eriol said as they went to the elementary building.

Sakura, Li and Mei Lin:

"Sakura, what are you doing here with him?" Mei Lin angrly said as she pointed to Li.

"Why? There's nothing wrong with it, right?" Sakura asked. Mei Lin was furious! She wanted to stab Sakura there and then.

"Who the hell gave you the permission to speak to me like that?" Mei Lin regained her calm.

"Me, myself. Why? Got a problem?" Sakura smirked. For the outside, she might seem calm and cool but inside……………..there were two forces fighting.

"Sakura! You can do this!" A voice in Sakura said. She looks just like her instead wearing a happy smirk and a thumb's up.

"No, be to what you are back then. I know you can live peacefully!" Another Sakura look alike said. But, she wore a frown and a thumb's down.

"Whatever! Sakura, you can do it!" The other one we can call "Courage" kept saying.

"No Sakura, face the fact that you can't do it. Mei Lin and Fyurei are your only home. You have to see the truth." Another onse we call "Fear" said.

"No! What will I do now? What will I do now? To continue on with this or just give up? I'm afraid. I truly am………………………………." Sakura thought. Thought kept racing in her head. The fight of fear and courage continued on until…………………. Fear was going to win when…………………………..

"Sakura! Remember what Li said!" Courage shouted out. Sakura went on a small span of being blank.

"What Li said?" Sakura muttered to herself. She remembered his phrase:

"I will always be here. I'll take whatever path you choose." Then, fear disappeared as Sakura's fear subsided.

"Good work Sakura!" Courage yelled as she too disappeared, but with a big smile.

"I know I can be strong, cause I will be!" Sakura thought as she faced Mei Lin.

"Why you………………." Mei Lin couldn't control her anger. She wanted to slap or kill or do something bad to Sakura. Then, she turned her attention to Li.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"Huh?" Li answered confused.

"Hmph! Since you already know what we and Sakura have in common, I guess…………………..I can do this in front of you." Mei Lin smirked as she slapped Sakura, taking of the bandage on her face. The wound has opened again, blood started to rush through, slowly.

"Sakura!" Li shouted and ran hear her.

"Go, Li. Don't interfere." Sakura muttered.

"What! You expect me to do that! Look at you!" Li said.

"This is between me and Mei Lin, you have nothing to do with it." Sakura looked at him. He saw her courage. He smiled as she finally became strong.

"(nods) Sure." Li said as he stepped back. (Just like in an action movie, it doesn't suit it at all, I think. I think it's too, it just doesn't fit. Don't worry, I'll try to make a way.)

"Sakura, hmph! Some courage you have!" Mei Lin smirked. Sakura walked near her and

Slap!

She just slapped Mei Lin. It surprised Mei Lin, Li and Sakura herself. She never thought that she can do that. It wasn't a thing she knew she could do.

"Did I just…………….." Sakura muttered. Now, Mei Lin was even more furious! She looked at Sakura with angry amber eyes.

"Your going to pay!" She shouted as she pushed her to the ground.

"Those eyes…………………………….I can't do it! I just can't! I can't stand the fierce look in Mei Lin's eyes. They kill me………………………" Sakura thought. For a long time, Mei Lin have always had those fierce look in her eyes. Her red, amber eyes. Those eyes scared her, seeing them gives Sakura discomfort. No one can stand that look. They feel discomfort or even fear.

"I'm……………I…………..I'm…………..I'm afraid………………….." Sakura thought as she started to shake.

"Sakura! I know you can do it!" Li encouraged her.

"Hmph! Look at you." Mei Lin bragged. "You gather up your strength and courage, but still useless." Mei Lin said. Sakura stood up. As Mei Lin walked near, Sakura would take a step back.

"Sakura! You will be strong! You can be strong!" Li kept thinking.

"Hmph! You're pathetic. I can't believe you have my blood." Mei Lin smirked. Li couldn't help it. He just has to shout anything to keep her spirit up. He opened his mouth, but not a shout came.

"Sakura……………" He whispered. It was a small whisper that Mei Lin didn't hear. But, it went straight to Sakura's ear.

"Li?" She muttered out. For some reason, she felt stronger. She felt her courage rising up. Then, she pushed Mei Lin aside. Mei Lin was surprised.

"I'm not pathetic." Sakura said. Mei Lin looked at her and tried to slap her. But Sakura evaded it. She held Mei Lin's hand. Mei Lin looked at her, she had fierce emerald eyes.

"What?" Mei Lin muttered.

"I will be strong." Sakura told her. Then, Tomoyo and Eriool appeared. Sakura let go of Mei Lin's hand.

"Whatever you say, Sakura. But, I'll be stronger." Mei Lin muttered to her as she walked away.

"Sakura, Li, what was that about?" Tomoyo asked.

"Sakura?" Eriol asked.

"Li?" Sakura looked at Li. Li smiled at her and said.

"You have to tell. You are strong." Li said. Sakura nodded and told them the truth.
