Chapter 20 Truths and Encounters

Syoaron's POV

'I hope Sakura liked the necklace I got her.' I was at work now. So much paper work to deal with. Everyday it never seems to lessen.

I looked at my watch, it was only 10 in the morining. I still have a long day to go.

"Here's your coffee Mr. Li." My secetary brought me some coffee and left the room with no thanks or thank you. I barely talked to any of my workers except for when I needed something.

"Hey brother."

"Meilin." I didn't need to look up from my paper work to know the fake sweet voice belonged to my sister. "What are you doing here? I'm a busy person."

"Really? I didn't notice. Hey, did you know that I am going to the same college as Sakura?"

"So? What does that have to do with me?"

"Just thought you wanted to know. Oh yeah, I'm going out with Yuki in ten minutes, wanna come?"

"No."

"Why? You don't even have time for your own girlfriend?" I looked up at her and gave her a death glare. If only looks could kill, she'll probably be burn to ashes now.

"I've got work. Go away. Tell Yuki I told her to have fun."

"Okay Syaoron." And with that Meilin left the room. Something fishy seems to be going on with Meilin. Did it involve Yuki also? I've never heard of Yuki doing anything stupid, I hope she doesn't start with the bad influence of Meilin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuki's Pov

"Hi Meilin, ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's go."

We walked out to my car and I got in the driver's seat while Meilin got into the passenger's seat.

"So how are you Syaoron?" Meilin asked

"We are doing good. The usually. Nothing's really change."

"Really? So you're saying that it doesn't seem like he's seeing other girls?"

"No, why? Is he?"

"You've heard about Sakura right?"

"Yeah what about her? I know they're friends."

"I think she's trying to steal Syaoron away from you only because she's rich."

"I don't think that'll be happening from now on. If that girl has brains, she'll stop getting close to Syaoron before death really reaches her."

"What do you mean?"

"You know the accident that happened just a few weeks ago with Sakura getting locked inside of the refrigerator?"

"Um...huh..."

"I told Sheng and Mindy to do it."

"You did?"

"Yeah." Here I was telling Meilin the truth about Sakura's accident. If Meilin hated Sakura's guts as much as I did she wouldn't dare tell Syaoron, but go alone with me and maybe even help me plann some more stuff.

"You're wicked."

"My looks doesn't say it." We high five and laughed our ass off at nothing. Maybe I did feel a tiny bit sorry or bad for doing what I did to Sakura, but my excitement won over.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We both entered Tokyo Mall. It was suppose to be the biggest mall in Japan, and I guess you can say that it is.

"What should we do first Meilin?"

"We should celebrate for knowing how to scare Sakura away from Syaoron."

"All right! Let's go shopping for shoes! I must at least buy three pairs today!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura's Pov

It's only 10:15am and I have already had nothing to do for the day. Should I make dinner early today? Sure it'll get cold, but I can always heat it up later. There's no harm in doing that.

(rinnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg...) The phone was raning from the living room and I was up in my room staring at the painting and looking at my necklace.

No one calls at all, who could it be?

"Hello, Li's resident."

"Sakura?" Who the hell was this girly voice?

"Who's this? Are you some kind of stalker?"

"Yes I am. Baka, it's me Tomoyo."

"Oh...ehehehe..." I nervously laughed. "What is it Tomoyo?"

"Aren't you going to ask how I got your number?"

"Yeah, how did you get my number?"

"Guess."

"What? You ask me to ask you how you got my number and now you are telling me to guess?"

"Come on, guess."

"You asked Mr. Toroshi?"

"CORRECTO!" Tomoyo sang loudly from the other line.

"TOMOYO STOP IT!YOU'RE HURTING MY EARS!" I back my ear away from the phone and her horrible singing.

"Eheheheh, sorry. So you want to go somewhere with me today?"

"Sure, where?"

"Tokyo Mall. Have you been there Sakura?"

"No. I would love to, but I don't have a ride."

"I'll come pick you up right now!"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, I'll get dress then. Bye."

"Bye."

I hurriedly ran up the stairs to my room, I was finally going out! And it was to the mall! I haven't been shopping in ages.

(HONK)(HONK)

That must be Tomoyo.

I ran downstairs and quickly put on my shoes.

"COMING TOMOYO!" I yelled at her closing the door behind me and locking it. I ran to the passenger seat and closed the door. I put on my seat belt.

"All right, here we go."

Tomoyo zoomed off to the mall that I have not been to in such a long time.

We finally got there at 11.

The mall was bigger than I had last seen it. It was true, new construction sites were seen in the back and front.

"Tomoyo, what should we buy today?"

"I heard there were some new stores, let's go check it out first."

We both looked at each other with a grin.

1 2 3

We dashed to the front entrance of the store.

"Let's go to this one! Forever 21!" Tomoyo half dragged me into the store. Ergh, I wanted to go into Foot Locker to buy me a new pair of shoes.

"Sakura, doesn't this one look cute on you?" Tomoyo was holding up a blouse that was white with a weird looking front and back.

"That think looks weird."

"Go try it on!" It was as if she didn't even hear me protest. She pushed me into the dressing room.

I looked at the weird shirt again and started to change into it.

"Sakura! You're taking such a long time! Do you need some help?"

"Oh no, I'm fine." This shirt was tangling up with me. I put my arm through a hole that looks like an arm hole and it ends up being the back of the shirt.

"Sakura!" This time Tomoyo was knocking on my door.

"Okay, Okay!" Whatever.

I opened the door.

"Sakura, you look...weird?"

"Tomoyo."

"I'm just playing, you look hot in it!"

"Sure, I'm going back in to change. If you like this shirt you can have it."

"No, no, no wait Sakura." I stopped walking and turned to her.

"You look really great in it, just buy it please?"

"I don't know Tomoyo."

"It's on sale! It's only ten dollars!"

"Ten dollars?"

"Yeah!"

"That's still a lot!"

"Fine! I'll pay half!"

"HAHAHAHA, I'm just kidding, I'll buy it since you like it that much." So I bought the blouse. Of course I regreted buying it as soon as my cash was handed over to the cashier. I almost didn't let go of the money until the cashier told me I was holding onto it too tight. I turned red and let go of the money.

"Sakura! Let's go to the food court! I'm hungry." Geesh, this girl is so demanding.

"Sure. Why not?" Once again Tomoyo dragged me to the food court.

"I'll like a cheese burger and a coke." Tomoyo happily made her order.

"Hey, your name's Tomoyo? Remember me?"

I was confused and when I looked at Tomoyo she had the same expression on also.

"YOU! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Tomoyo loudly laugh. She was embrassing me. So many people were looking our way.

"Hey, you remember me!" Okay, who was this guy? "I thought you were some kind of rich dude who owns a company and all that crap. Why are you working a fast food restaurant?" Who the hell IS this GUY?

"Uh, Tomoyo, will you tell me what's up?"

"Oh, remember that guy that I told you about that one day?"

"What one...oh...so that's him?" He wasn't that bad looking either. He had on glasses with midnight blue hair. He was pretty talk, probably as tall as Syaoron.

"I do. I own this fast food restaurant right here." He answered.

"Hey, I never got your name. What is it?"

"Eriol. You know like from Card Captor Sakura. The animation."

"Oh okay Eriol. Sakura will like the same thing as me also."

"Hey, she has the same name as that Card Captor too!"

"Just get us our order." Tomoyo had her hands on her hips.

"Geesh, why are you always like that. The last time we met you almost hit me." Eriol, I can tell was quite scare of Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo, you don't need to be so mean."

"I wasn't being mean. Hey!" She turned her attention towards Eriol now. "You say you are the owner here? You're slow yourself too. I bet that you even fire your employees that are as slow as you. Maybe you should just willingly give up your restaurant and give it to me."

Eriol had on a weird look but also shock at the same time.

"All right ma'am." Eriol gave our orders to some dude in the back. "The price will be 20 dollars."

Tomoyo paid 20 dollars without looking at him. Tomoyo you are weird. You sounded all excited talking about him to me and now you're piss at him for being slow? Geesh woman, make up your mind. Oh, forgot, I'm a woman too. eheheheheh.

We got our food and went to sit at the tables, but not before Tomoyo snorted at Eriol. He only laughed and clicked his tongue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Um... this are actually areally good. Who knew Eriol and his restaurant would make such delicious food." Tomoyo squeaked. Okay, she's really weird, she was just practically going to eat off his head a moment ago. But then of course it is Tomoyo who we are talking about.

"Hey, look who we have here." That voice sounded awfully familiar. I stopped the bite I was going to do and looked around me. I spotted Meilin and next to her was Yuki.

"Hi." I gave them a weak smile. Tomoyo looked dumbfounded.

"Hi? Pus...whatever." That was Meilin. She was always like that.

"What are you guys doing here?" This time it was Yuki who was talking with an oblivious (i can't spell!) fake nice voice. Please, I've seen your true self already, no need hiding anymore.

"Shopping." Stupid me, I answered nicely.

"Really? What's in your shopping bag?" Before I could say 'no' or 'don't touch that' Meilin had already snatched it from me. "Oh, a white blouse that looks really slutty. Are you trying to look good for my brother? You know his girlfriend is right next to me?" That witch.

"Slutty?" Before I could say anything Tomoyo had already confronted them. Meilin smirked at us. Yuki only grinned. "Speak for yourself." Meilin looked shocked. What? She's never heard of those words before? She was always so bitchy.

"Speaks for myself? Look at who's trying to be rich and all!" Meilin countered back. That really set Tomoyo off.

"Trying to look rich?" Tomoyo was now standing up and nearing Meilin. "I don't know and care about who the fuck you are, but you better walk off before you see my wrath."

"Oh...your wrath, I'm sooooo afraid." Meilin made that fake scare look and waved her hands in front of her.

"Look you guys, we're only here to have fun not start trouble." I did't want anything like a fight to break out between these two so I had to say something and that was quite stupid of me don't you think? May I should of have said 'Hey Meilin! Fuck off!', but nooo, i didn't.

"'Look, you guys, we're only here to have fun, not start trouble.'" Meilin mimicked me. I never knew she could be so immature.

"Tomoyo, let's go." I got up and tried to drag Tomoyo along with me. Damn! Why is this girl always heavy everytime she's about to fight someone?

"Sakura, let go. I'm going to teach that bitch some manner. Spoil brat hasn't been grown up in a mannerful family."

"What? Teach me some manner? I'll..." Tsk, tsk. Before Meilin could answer Tomoyo had already punch Meilin square in the jaw sending her to the ground. Meilin spatted on the floor. "You bitch!" She yelled loud enough for the whole world to hear it.

"What? Come on!" Tomoyo was now on top of Meilin punching and slapping and I don't know out of Meilin.

"Stop! Stop it Meilin!" Yuki cried out. She looked at me and glared. "This is all your fault. If you have not met Syaoron, this wouldn't have happen." She slapped me, again. I looked up to her. 'That witch! This was the second time she had hit me!' I looked at her evilly. She raised her hand again to do the same thing, and I caught it.

"Let go!" She tried to wiggle free from my deadly grip.

"You think you're so tough just because you're some rich ass huh? Well you know what? Meet reality." I punched her square in the nose. I felt so much excitement going through my body now.

"HEY!STOP IT!" It was Eriol. He looked down to the floors still seeing Tomoyo going at it with Meilin. "Woo Tomoyo, cool down." Eriol tried to get Tomoyo off of Meilin. It was no use.

I guess he did it with all his might because Tomoyo was finally lifted off of Meilin, but it wasn't before Meilin stole a punch at Tomoyo's face.

"That no good bitch!" Tomoyo was kicking and yelling at Meilin and at the same time trying to get at her again.

I looked at Yuki one more time and walked over to Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo, you've done what you have wanted to already. Let's go before we get caught by the securities." Tomoyo looked at me once and clamed down. I grabbed onto her and took her from Eriol. "Thanks Eriol. Take care of those two." I eyed Yuki who was now crying on the floor and Meilin who stared daggers at us.

"Hey, I'll drive and you cool off okay?" I set Tomoyo into the passenger's seat and took the driver's seat. I started to Tomoyo's home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bye Sakura, thanks. How are you going to get home?"

"I'll take the bus home."

"Is that why you didn't want to work at Moon Restaurant anymore?" Tomoyo asked out of no where.

"No. I wanted to quit and prepare myself for college life. You know, college's about to began too." She nodded her head and smiled. I did the same back. Tomoyo closed her front door and I began my walk back home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was three now. So much drama happened today and only four hours had past. I guess I'll take my mind off of these stress by cooking.

And so I cook. Trying to forget everything that happened today.
