Chapter 10: Li's School Surprise
"Sakura, Sakura," a voice called out. "Come on, Sakura wake up." He muttered. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person calling her.
"Eriol?" Was his name.
"Yeah," Eriol answered. "Wake up now, we have to go to school."
"Huh?"
"We have to go to school, Ms. Kinomoto."
"(smiles) Come on Eriol," Sakura sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Stop doing that."
"Wow, it's the only way to get you awake."
"Not pretty much…………………"
"Eriol! Sakura! Breakfast is ready!" Li called out at the kitchen.
"Huh? Li cooks?" Sakura wondered.
"Yeah, he's a much better cook than I am." Eriol explained.
"Weird I thought you're the cook here." Sakura replied. "Maybe it isn't in the looks."
"It isn't always in the looks, Sakura." Eriol said. "Now, let's go eat."
"Yeah………." Sakura stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"Ohayo, Li-kun!" Sakura said with glee as she entered the kitchen.
"Good morning Li." Eriol greeted as he followed her.
"Zaoan," Li replied back.
"Oy! Ohayo!" A voice called out from outside.
"It finally came." Eriol said as he went to get it. It was the mailman bringing them their mail.
"Thank you." Eriol bowed. The mailman smiled and went away. Eriol went back to the kitchen to see Li and Sakura eating already.
"Here Li," Eriol hands him a brown envelope. "This is yours."
"Oh," Li takes opens it and sighs. "It's a letter from mother and my other crazy sisters."
"Huh? Sisters?" Sakura asked. "I never thought you had sisters."
"Yeah, crazy ones." Li sighed. "What about you, Eriol? Who's that from?"
"It's from mother," Eriol opens the envelope and reads it.
"What's it about?" Li asked. "You're mother usually has unbelievable news."
"Eh?" Sakura asked confused.
"Hmmm," Eriol read the letter. "Eh?" He exclaimed.
"What? What is it?" Li asked.
"That's new." Eriol said.
"What did she say, Eriol-kun?" Sakura asked.
"She says that Kenneth and Shara are staying here." Eriol answered.
"What? You can't be serious!" Li exclaimed.
"Well, I am." Eriol replied. "She even says they'll be moving with us."
"That can't be………….." Li said as he fell anime style.
"Why? Who's Kenneth and Shara anyways?" Sakura asked.
"They're some of our cousins from abroad." Eriol replied with a smile.
"Honto?" Sakura asked once more. "Where are they from?"
"Hmm, they're from the Europe, in Paris." Eriol replied. "We sometimes visit them when we have the time."
"Wow, where other countries do you have cousins?" Sakura asked.
"Almost every country." Eriol answered.
"Eh! Sugoi (not sure of spelling)!" Sakura exclaimed. "Demo……….." She looks at the flat faced Li on the floor. "Why doesn't Li feel a bit excited?"
"It's because……………." Eriol felt Li glare at him at his back. "Hmmmm, never mind that Sakura, just eat your breakfast, you too, Li."
"Sure!" Sakura answered with merriment. Eirol smiled at her and his cousin on the floor.
"You better stand up, Li, you'll be late." He said. Li sighed and stood up.
"Sure, whatever," he replied as he stood up. He sat to his seat and sighed once more.
"Ok," Eriol said he went to his room and fetched his school uniform. "I'll take a bath first." He said as he went in the bathroom.
"Yeah," Li replied. Sakura sat on her chair too and ate.
"And Li," Eriol called out in the bathroom. "I'll take care of the dishes this time."
"Don't worry, I'll do it." Li replied as he munched on his food.
"Ok!" Eriol replied.
"Ne, Li-kun?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah," Li replied.
"Uhm, may I ask why you don't feel excited knowing that Kenneth and Shara are visiting, you seem very irritated?"
"It's because Shara gets on my nerves a lot of times, darn!"
"She's a real pain, ne?"
"Yeah, she is. But, she's also cool especially when she gets serious, you wouldn't know she was her."
"Oh, so, tell me her physical characteristics."
"Hmm…………let me see………She's quite nice-looking actually. She has long black hair up to her waist; she usually ties in low ponies. She has golden eyes and white fair skin."
"Hmm, she sounds very pretty." Sakura commented. "So, what about Kenneth? What can you say about him?"
"He's quiet guy, very serious when gets to serious stuff." Li said. "Kenneth is a year older than Shara and a planet away from her attitude."
"Eh?" Sakura exclaimed to his metaphor. "That was a deep one, but they're in the same grade?"
"Yeah, they studied at the same time."
"Ok……….." Sakura nodded. "So, what does he look like?"
"He's handsome and looks a bit like her. He has long brown hair also tied at its very end strand, blue eyes and white fair skin."
"But, do they have the same characteristics."
"No way, Kenneth and Shara have little same ones and a million different ones.
"How could you say that?"
"Well, for instance, Kenneth often times like being alone while Shara likes to have fun with other people. Kenneth is a lot of times serious while Shara is a lot of times happy-go-lucky. But, you won't believe how Shara acts when she's serious or how Kenneth acts when he's excited, e won't even notice he is. But, there's something else."
"Eh, what is it?" Sakura asked.
"You better be careful, they might seem calm all the time but if they get angry, you won't know it was them. But, they can control it sometimes." Li explained.
"Eh?" Sakura asked again.
"They're different. They get angry on emotional things more often, well, they don't usually get angry."
"Hmmm, there's a lot of stuff that you wouldn't think others can do."
"You got that right." Li nodded.
"But, I've got a
feeling that Kenneth attracts a lot of girls."
"How'd you
know?" Li asked.
"Well, those are some qualities that make a man mysterious which girls like the most."
"Uhm, you got that right."
"But, they sound like good siblings." Sakura smiled.
"They are……." Li said as he stood up, meaning finished with his breakfast. "So, are you finished yet, Sakura?" Li asked.
"Yeah," Sakura replied as she took her dish to Li.
"Good, you might wanna prepare your stuff first. I'll take care of these."
"Sure." Sakura nodded as she went to fix her stuff. Li sighed.
"Oh boy, this room will get wilder than before." He muttered out.
"I'm done." A voice sighed as it's owner went out of the bathroom. Eriol looked at his cousin washing the dishes. He smiled at this and walked to him.
"Finished yet?" He asked.
"Yeah," Li said as wiped the dishes dry.
"So, you up next?"
"Nope." Li answered. "Call Sakura, I think she's finished taking her things."
"Sure." Eriol smiled as Li sighed. Eriol walked to Sakura and said: "It's your turn to take a shower."
"Hai!" Sakura answered as she went straight to the bathroom.
"Eriol, you going?" Li asked. "It's pretty early."
"Yeah." Eriol said as he stood up, finished putting on his shoes,"Got something to do before school."
"Whatever." Li replied.
"Ok then," Eriol said as he went outside. "Ja ne."
"Ja ne." Li replied. Then, Eriol's figure was gone out of Li's sight. (It may seem like it but Li doesn't pretty show much care to Eriol.)
"I wonder where he's going." Li thought. He looked up at the clock to know its only 6:30 am; school starts at 8:30. "He's too early for school and Eriol isn't the type of guy who wastes time waiting." He shrugged his shoulders in a posture meaning: Wonder why?
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"I'm done Sakura, let's go." Li said as he walked to Sakura waiting for him in the sala.
"Sure." Sakura smiled. Li smiled back and they went to school. (My English is getting childish.)
While walking to school:
"Ne Li-kun?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah?"
"Uhm, where did Eriol-san go?"
"Dunno," Li said as he shrugged again his shoulders.
"What time did he leave anyways?"
"About seven."
"Eh? That seems pretty early for school."
"Yeah, I know. He said he's got somewhere to go."
"Eh? Wonder where that is? Got any clue?"
"Not a single one. Eriol is a secretive kind of person, only his mother can make him speak of these things."
"Hmmm, does that mean he's close with his mom?"
"Yeah, his kinda a momma's boy."
"Eh? That doesn't sound like Eriol-san."
"I know. But, he doesn't………..you know………..flirt………you know………….things that a………….last born child does……………you know……..err…….to get his parents attention."
"So, you mean he's not what I think he is?"
"Yeah, sorta. Top of it is he's really close to his mom." (Sorry, can't think of anything else heheheh, please forgive me.)
"So, what does his mom look like anyways?" Sakura asked again.
"She's very pretty and elegant. She has long orange hair and blue eyes (sorry, not very sure.) and white fair skin like Eriol."
"She sounds very pretty. I wonder if she's nice."
"She's also nice, and sometimes, but only sometimes, as mysterious as Eriol."
"Eh? I never find Eriol that mysterious."
"There's a lot you don't know about him."
"Well, I guess so."
After awhile………………….
"Ohayo, Li and Sakura-chan." A male voice greeted as it walked near.
"Eh? Eriol-san, ohayo!" Sakura greeted back.
"Li-kun, Sakura-chan, ohayo!" A female voice greeted, a figure with beautiful lilac eyes.
"Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura greetd back to her friend.
"Eh? Sakura-chan? Why aren't you with Mei Lin?" Tomoyo asked. "I thought you lived with her." Sakura lowered her head, her hair covering her emerald eyes.
"Uhm………………." Sakura mumbled. She can't get it straight out of her mouth.
"Doshite, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"Uhm, Tomoyo?" Eriol said. "Maybe we can talk bout this later." Tomoyo nodded as she looked at Sakura, trying not to look at anyone.
"Gomen, Sakura-chan……………" Tomoyo apologized. Sakura didn't answer. Li looked at the Emerald eyed teen standing solemnly beside him. He smiled and held her hand out of the blue. Sakura was surprised! She looked at Li, who smiled at her warmly, then……………..Sakura's heart started to throb wildly as she looked at Li's smile.
"What's this feeling? My heart, pounding wildly, I think I felt this way before…………………before…………." Then, an image of a person appeared in her mind. Outside, she started to blush faint red, inside, there was someone bothering her.
"Neh, Sakura? Sakura?" Li called as he started waving his hand in front of her. "Eh?" Tomoyo noticed this, she knew Sakura very well. So she knew how Sakura felt for Li………………………
"It's nice to find out you've found your most important person, Sakura." Tomoyo muttered in her thoughts.
"Sakura? Doshite Sakura?" Li asked again.
"Hmm, Li, I think I've found your perfect match." Eriol thought. He and Tomoyo looked at each other and smiled, knowing what it all meant.
"Eh?" Sakura muttered. She finally got out of her dream world, still doesn't know the man in her head.
"sigh Thank goodness you snapped out of it." Li sighed.
"Huh?" Sakura mumbled out.
"Sakura, you were gone." Eriol said. "Your body was here but your mind flew with the wind, what's up?"
"Uhm…………….." Sakura tried to explain, then, the image appeared in her head. "Oh, it's nothing."
"Yeah right," a familiar voice said. "Someone's in your head, Kinomoto." Everyone in Sakura's group knew who voiced those words. They turned around and saw a female figure. She had her back rested by the wall, her raven hair flowing with the passing wind.
"Mei Lin!" They all exclaimed. (Sakura and the others)
"Why? It seems that you've seen a ghoul." Mei Lin smirked.
"What do you want Mei Lin?" Sakura asked with courage.
"Nothing," Mei Lin replied. She stood up straight and said, "You're free to go Kinomoto."
"Eh? What's that suppose to mean?" Sakura asked. Eriol and Tomoyo nodded as well and at times like this, Li always keeps quiet until it's his time to speak.
"(shakes her head) Kinomoto, you're still the same old, so slow," Mei Lin spoke. "Mother doesn't want you back anymore. Can't you get that? Come on………….." Those words gave Sakura happiness of freedom, she wanted to shout out her happiness but what came out was:
"What?"
"Kinomoto, you're free, you can't go back to my house anymore." Mei Lin said as she faced away. "You won't be in my grip anymore."
"Eh?" Sakura replied. "You mean…………"
"Yeah, bye," Mei Lin said coldly as she walked away.
"That was good news, Sakura; you won't get beaten up anymore." Li said. Sakura looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah!" She exclaimed. Tomoyo, Eriol and Li were very happy for her. She started to dance around pulling Li with her.
"Lalalala, I'm free………….." She sang out. Her classmates looked at her, some were stunned, others happy others didn't pretty much care. But, Sakura didn't care; all she cared about is that she's free. (Like a prisoner, huh?) Mei Lin saw this and smirked.
"Have fun, Kinomoto." She thought. Then, the door opened and the teacher went in. Sakura stopped dancing and pulling Li. She went to her seat with a happy smile. Li was very happy for her, he was very, very happy for her. Tomoyo and Eriol took their seats as well, feeling happy for Sakura not just because she wasn't going back, also because she found her number one, someone perfect and suitable for her.
"Listen class, I have an announcement," Mr. Terada said. "We're having new students again and also form abroad."
"Here they are………….." Eriol thought. He looked at Li whose face was terrified. He chuckled at this.
"Please no, not them……………….." Li pleaded.
"Ok, please come in." The teacher said. The door opened and Li's heart started to pound, hoping it wasn't his other cousins. Then, came two figures, one was male and the other was female.
"Listen class, this is Kenneth and Shara De Lavia, they're from Europe as well and they're cousins of Hiiragizawa and Li." Mr. Terada announced. Li's heart just stopped beating. He's face was pale. Shara smiled and ran to him.
"Li!" She shouted. Kenneth sighed at her running imoto. Shara hugged Li tight. Then……………….
"Bu!" Li exclaimed out loud.
