Hi… thanks for reviewing if you did, because all your reviews really made me think. ;) The storyline might seem a little weird to most of you, but I've already written out the plot and am (gasp) too lazy to re-write one. Besides, I think the ending will kinda make this fic more unique.
A big thank you to ! (anonymous) for being my 50th reviewer and to Scarlet Ice Cascading for being my 51st! I was sooo worried I wouldn't be able to hit 50 reviews when the reviews stopped at 49 (I know I sound crazy) but woohoo!
I feel like just telling you all the plot but that's silly. This is a 13 chapter fic, have I told you that? I'm almost halfway through, and let me warn you, the chapters are going to get painfully short. That's because I actually know what I'm gonna write about so I won't go talking about love and all that.
If you actually read my story, please review, because I need to know how readers are responding to this and how to change the story. Thanks.
I won't be updating this as frequently as I want. I've got lots of homework
AND I am so sorry about the eyes bit! SORRY!
Chapter Six
… …
Syaoran hadn't expected it when Sakura came flying into his room, slamming the door shut and collapsing into his arms, her tears streaking down her perfectly chiseled face. "Shh, it's okay," Syaoran tried to console her.
"No, it's not!" Sakura sobbed, her voice muffled. "I… I hate myself! I'm so stupid!"
Syaoran was genuinely worried. "What happened?"
Sakura cried even harder. "I… I… I…Fye… he kissed me… and I didn't retaliate soon enough… I'm afraid he'll take advantage of me again…"
Syaoran's eyes almost popped out. "Whaatttt? He kissed youu? How could you let him?"
Sakura sobbed even harder. "Please… please don't blame me, Syaoran!" She collapsed on the floor.
Syaoran's mind was a mix of emotions. Did Fye really kiss her? Or is she pretending because she wants to save Mokona? I mean, she WOULD do this to save Mokona, wouldn't she? And… and she's desperate… and Fye wouldn't blame her if she said such a thing ((go on, readers, yell "STUPID SYAORAN HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT WAY?" if you're doing that, I'm getting the correct effect! So yellyellyellyellyell!)) but how can she do this? She should have the sense to know I wouldn't sacrifice Mokona! What is she thinking? "Princess, I hoped that I had made it clear that I wouldn't sacrifice Mokona for my own good, so please don't play act anymore, much less to gain my pity."
Sakura stared at Syaoran in shock. Her voice seemed to have frosted over as she muttered the words, "I hate you. Did you ever think I would fake it?" Sakura got up from the floor, slapped Syaoran and dashed out, leaving a dazed Syaoran gaping at her retreating figure.
… …
Each time Syaoran, or Fye, for that matter, tried to make eye contact with Sakura that day, they were met with an angry look.
"Look, Sakura," Syaoran gripped her tightly on her arm and looked sternly at her, "I'm sorry if I spoke too harshly today, okay? But please don't act like this. I know you want to save Mokona, and I told you I'm not that heartless as to kill him."
"You know what?" Sakura retorted, tears brimming in her eyes. "What I needed most was comfort from someone, which you couldn't give me. Even if I were given the chance to love you now, I'd rather die than suffer with you!"
"I think you'd better leave her to calm down, Syaoran," Fye suddenly walked up and placed and hand on Sakura's shoulder. "It's best not to bother her."
"Of course! You know what's best for me!" Sakura yelled at Fye and ran away from the remaining duo.
"Well, I tried." Fye grinned at Syaoran as the latter forced out a smile.
… …
"Trouble with the heart again, Syaoran?"
Syaoran looked up at Kurogane, who was of course, towering over him. "Rather obvious, huh?" Syaoran snorted and pinched himself, willing the catastrophe to be a dream. It wasn't. "I made Sakura mad at me, and she slapped me."
Kurogane raised his eyebrows. "Sakura slapped you? What did you do to make her so mad?"
"Damnit, I just said the wrong thing to her. I didn't believe her when she told me about… something. I'm not sure if she'd let you know."
"Then don't tell me. Women are difficult creatures."
"Like your princess back home?"
Kurogane made a face. "Definitely. Speaking of home, I might be going back soon."
Syaoran threw his head back and sighed. "Don't do this to me, there won't be anyone to help me out if you go back to (insert black poo poo country here)."
"How about Fye?"
"I'm having some problems with… um… okay… um, Sakura and him, some problems. But it's not what you think!" Syaoran added hastily.
Kurogane raised his eyebrows even higher. "A scandal is what you wouldn't tell me."
"It's not like that, I don't think, well, you know."
"Okay…" Kurogane frowned. "But whatever happens, I'm still going back to (insert black poo poo country here). I feel like killing someone. Namely, that wonderful woman back home."
… …
Syaoran lay on his bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. Maybe Sakura isn't acting after all. She wouldn't yell at me that way if it were fake… she's got the right virtues and knows when to stop… Syaoran jerked up. "Damnit! It was real!" She'd think I'm so unfeeling and mean! And I didn't comfort her… she must really hate me now. Great. How can I get her to forgive me? Syaoran slapped himself. Hard. She wouldn't slap me if she was in the wrong! Syaoran's pulse was racing. She'll never forgive me after this!
Jumping out from bed, Syaoran ran to Sakura's room. Ahh! Pleasepleaseplease Sakura, forgive me! Syaoran, you're such an unfeeling idiot. Sakura hasn't done anything bad enough in her lifetime to be with you! "Sakura!" Syaoran shouted. "Open up! Please! I thought through the situation and I know I'm wrong… please forgive me!"
A muffled cry. Then silence. Rustling. Then silence again.
Great. Now she's so mad she won't even look at me.
With a heavy heart, Syaoran walked away.
He didn't know that the situation was much graver than it seemed.
… …
WOOHOO! I didn't think I'd finish this in January! I know I took the longest time EVER but I really have tons of homework. Email me if you just wanna know the plot, because the chapters will come out very slowly.
