picture?
Chapter XIII: Letting go
Syaoran's eyes widened when he saw Dai-ran, blushing, and leaning down to kiss Sakura.
Normal POVSyaoran couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to stay and watch, he thought that maybe Sakura would dodge it,
but he then changed his mind. 'I can't look! I just can't look at my big brother kiss Sakura. I've gotta go.' He
ran away from the scene.
"Hey!" Eriol whispered to him, and tried to grab his arm, but missed it. He turned to Tomoyo.
"What we gonna do now? He went. He didn't even see the rest of the show."
"I know. Maybe he thought they were going to kiss. He just missed it."
When Syaoran ran away, he just missed the second when Sakura moved her head. Dai-ran only caught her
cheek.
Sakura's POVI was sitting down with Dai-ran when he was leaning down to kiss me. Oh no! What am I going to do! I don't
like him. But he does look like Syaoran. Maybe if I kiss him, it'll be like the same as kissing Syaoran. WHAT
DID I JUST THINK? No. I did not think that. I'm not ready for a kiss, yet. I moved my head, and felt him
catch my cheek instead.
"Oh, sorry about that! I just couldn't control myself. Sorry." He said with his head facing down.
"It's okay." I said. Whew! That was close! I could tell that he was really embarrassed. I decided to change the
subject.
"Hey do you want to get something to eat?" I said out of nowhere. He seemed pretty surprised as well.
"Sure!" he stood up, and offered me his hand. I took it.
On the way to the food stalls, we passed by stall giving makeovers. Dai-ran seemed to be curious about it.
"Do you want to go in?" I wanted to know what he was thinking.
"Well…all my life, I had looked the same as Syaoran. People kept on thinking I was him, and he was me. Even
our parents can't tell the difference. Maybe I should like dye my hair or something like that, so I can look
different to him. What do you think?"
"Well…it's not really my decision, is it? I mean, it's your face."
"Well…I just wanted to have a second opinion." He looked down at the ground. Although he was older than
Syaoran, he seemed less tough as Syaoran. What a funny family!
"If it was my choice, I would say, go of it!" Dai-ran's head lifted. I smiled at him.
"Really?" he asked.
"Really." He smiled, and grabbed my wrist.
"Come on, let's go!" I followed him.
Normal POVA man with grey hair and blue eyes came to them both.
"So, which one of you two would want a makeover? This lovely man, this lovely lady, or both?"
"Me, please." Dai-ran turned to me. "Would you want one?"
"No thanks. I had enough of a makeover losing my glasses." The grey haired man led Dai-ran to a chair.
"Asaki!" he called, and a girl aged 17-18 with pink hair, and green eyes came.
"Hi, I'm Asaki. What can I do for you?"
"Hi, I'm Dai-ran, and this is Sakura." He said pointing to Sakura. Sakura put her hand out. Asaki took it.
"Hi." Sakura greeted her.
"I just want to change the colour of my hair. I have a twin brother, and I want to look different from him. Can
you do anything for me?" Asaki moved closer to Dai-ran, and examined his hair.
"Hmmm…I think there is something I can do for you. How about black hair?"
"That would be great." Asaki went across the room, and came back with bottles in her hand.
"Alright! Let's get started!"
30 minutes later
Asaki had finished. Although Dai-ran had only his hair colour changed, he looked totally different. His hair was
trimmed a little, and his hair colour brings out the amber in his eyes.
"Wow!" was all Sakura could say.
"How do I look?"
"Wonderful!" Asaki said. "Here, look in the mirror." She handed him a mirror.
Dai-ran examined himself carefully.
"Woah! I've certainly changed a lot. I gotta get used to this same face everyday." He turned to Asaki, and took
his wallet out. "So, how much do I owe you?"
"How much do you think?"
"2,000 yen?" (A/N: 2,000 yen is actually 20 dollars, and I live in England, so it's like £10 £12? Which is
reasonable for a haircut.)
"Great guess! I'll give you a 10 percentdiscount since you're good looking." Dai-ran chuckled, and stood up.
"Hey. I'm not poor. You can keep the 10 percent. In fact, I'll give you an extra 10 percent for doing an
excellent job here." Hehanded his money to Asaki.
"Thanks. Hope you come again!" she said, as Dai-ran and Sakura went off.
"So, do you wanna head back?" Dai-ran asked facing Sakura.
"Yeah, sure. I'm pretty tired."
"And what do you think of my new makeover?"
"I can finally tell if it's you or Syaoran!" Dai-ran chuckled. They both walked to the exit.
#Tents#
Syaoran ran into the woods, where the tents were. The teacher and the other people were all dressed up, like
they were going somewhere.
"Where are you going?" Syaoran asked the teacher.
"Are you Syaoran or Dai-ran?"
"Syaoran." Syaoran replied.
"Oh. We were just looking for you, Tomoyo and Eriol. Where are they?"
"They figured out that since you gave us today as a free day, they would go for a date in the fair. Of course,
hoping to bump into Sakura and my brother."
"Oh. Well, I've just found this service station, although we're not close to a motorway, but it's just a 15 minute
walk there. Would you like to come with us?"
"Nah. I'm not fond of service stations." Syaoran dug his hands in his pocket.
"Really? There's an arcade there."
"Really, I don't want to go."
"But there's a restaurant there." Syaoran eyed him suspiciously.
"Alright, cut to the chase. What do you want? Do you not trust me with the camp site?"
"Well…"
"Alright, answer answered. I'll go if you want me to go."
"No, it's alright. Sorry. I trust you." Syaoran couldn't believe it.
"Really?"
"Yeah, as long as when I come back, it's not trashed up. Anyway, I've got to go. They are really excited about
going to the service station. Remember Syaoran, I trust you. Don't let me down." The teacher said seriously.
"Alright. I won't let you down."
"Excellent! We're off then!" The teacher and the other students walked away, leaving Syaoran alone. He went
inside his tent, and saw a picture of Sakura with her brother and dad. He smiled and picked it up. But then the
incident at the fair came up. Jealously and anger rose.
"I'm gonna make Dai-ran pay!" Syaoran went out of his tent, and into Dai-ran's tent. Of course, as he
expected, it was tidy. He rummaged inside Dai-ran's backpack, and found a snow globe. Syaoran smiled,
evilly.
"He has always liked this. It was his first present from mum when he got full marks in maths, and I only got 99.
Well, take a last look at it Dai-ran, coz I'm gonna break it!" he lifted the snow globe above his head, and
prepared to throw it, but something caught his eye. It was in Dai-ran's backpack. Syaoran gently put the snow
globe on the floor, and took a photo album out of Dai-ran's backpack. He opened it. Inside were pictures of
them two together. From when they were 3 to now. Syaoran couldn't believe it. The back cover of it had
writing written on it.
Pictures of my little brother and me. Li Dai-ran, 1992"1992?" Syaoran ran his fingers on the words. "He…he wrote this when we were five…" (A/N: If I didn't
mention this before, Syaoran is 18, Sakura is 17, Tomoyo is 17, and Eriol is 18. The year now in the story is
2005. So it all adds up. I think. Anyway, back to the story.) tears started forming. But Syaoran would not let
them fall. He put the album and snow globe back in Dai-ran's backpack. He walked out the tent. 'There's only
two choices I can make. I could try to steal Sakura. Or…I let her go. I can't steal Sakura away…so, it only
leaves me one option. I have to let her go.'
(Sobs) Syaoran is letting go. (Sniffs) What will happen next? Well, you just have to wait for the next update!
Which won't be long, I hope. Sorry for the slow update, I had to revise for tests and exams, my internet wasn't
working, stupid ntlworld, and I couldn't log on. Whew! Finally, I've posted it in! Oh yeah, I've got another
fan fiction up and running, 'I'd do anything just to see you'. Read that as well. I'm updating that one like
maybe a few days from now. I think I'm gonna change my summary a little bit, like write in it that Sakura's a
nerd, and make it more interesting. Anyway, see ya soon, and stay tuned to 'It just takes three weeks'. There
are a lot more surprises!
