It Just Takes Three Weeks

Summary: Kinomoto Sakura, an average girl who has many friends, but looks like a nerd. Li Syaoran, a popular guy who could have any girl he wanted, except one particular girl,

Kinomoto Sakura. They hate each other to bits. What could be worse than going to school together? Sakura thought nothing, but then he started to become her neighbour! But

after a long field trip, everything changes, Sakura's appearance, Syaoran's attitude, even… their feelings towards each other?

Chapter 19: My saviour

"Don't worry Sakura, those people will get what they deserve. I promise you, they will be dealt with." They will be…

Sakura's POV

I wake up, somehow feeling cold. Suddenly, all the memories flood back from yesterday. Tears started to form up again. I blushed as I remembered Syaoran holding me in his

arms. I quickly shook my head. I sighed. The tears I was meaning to keep in, came out. I can't possibly go out. They laughed…all of them…I broke into another fit of sobs. I heard

the door open, and saw Tomoyo come in.

"Hey Sakura, you okay?" I guess she heard then.

"No…what am I going to do, Tomoyo? I don't want to go and face them!"

"Come with me."

"Where?"

"To the football pitch. I have a feeling you'll like this." I stared at her, confused.

"Why?" she grabbed my hand, and pulled me out of the door.

"You'll know! Come on, we've gotta go there, or all the action will be missed!"

#Football pitch#

When we reached the football pitch, I saw a crowd of people surrounding what seemed where the action is. Tomoyo pulled us through the crowd to the front. My eyes widened as

I saw what was in front of me. Syaoran was there, in a fight with a boy who looked like Tasaki. (A/N: I'm gonna make them twins, kay?)

Normal POV

"All right!" Syaoran grabbed Sasaki's collar.

"I know you were at the bottom of this! Now, tell everyone to stop laughing at Sakura! When you see her, be nice to her, or else!" he dropped his collar and turned.

The boy, stupidly enough, stood up, and smirked.

"Or else what?" Syaoran turned around again, facing him. He charged into him, and with all his might, punched Sasaki. Sasaki's eyes seemed to bulge out, but there wasn't enough

time to see that, because within seconds, he was flying to the other end of the pitch. Everyone looked at Sasaki who of course, was unconscious. He had actually reached the net,

and his face was covered with bruises, and two black eyes.

Syaoran turned to leave, when he saw Sakura, there, staring at him. His eyes widened. 'Oh damn!' and quickly ran away, face full with embarrassment, before Sakura could say

anything to him.

Syaoran's POV

I smiled, as I saw Sasaki crash into the net. This was like scoring a goal, except it was whoever scores first, wins. And I won. I turned to leave, when I spotted a familiar face in the

crowd. Sakura was there…wait! SAKURA WAS THERE! Then she must have seen everything! Oh damn! I quickly ran away realising my face was filling up with embarrassment.

But then I heard that loud voice. Tasaki's. I turned around, and ran over there again.

"You saw what Syaoran did to my brother. I bet you told him to do that, didn't you, you WRETCH? Well, I'm gonna make you regret you did that to my brother. Say good bye to

that pretty face of yours!" She immediately grabbed a pocket knife, and went over to Sakura, trying to scratch her face. I gasped, and quickly went over. I closed my eyes. Pain ran

through my body. Screams and gasps were heard. I opened my eyes to see Tasaki's eyes wide open. She had run the knife through my arm. I fell down on my knees, as blood

ran down my arm and onto my T-Shirt. Sakura went towards me.

"Syaoran…" I quickly ran away from her. Damn! What was I going to say now?.

I quickly ran to my room, when I bumped into someone. I opened my eyes. Dai-ran.

"Hey, why are you in a hurry all of a sudden? And what's with your arm?"

"Er…ar…" I can't say, oh, I protected the girl I love, who by the way, is your girlfriend, and I just stuck up for her, and she saw me!

"Nothing, you know…nothing, just …training. Yeah, got myself a little cut. Felt like training...since we're going home soon, right?"

"Oh." I brushed the wrinkles on my T-Shirt off, whilst putting my hand on my wound. Thena question popped up.

"What are you doing here? Your room is a few floors down, and you seemed to stop right at the door."

"Oh, I was looking for Sakura, you know, to ask if she would like to go out sometime. I really think this relationship is going somewhere, you know? I've never been this serious

about a relationship before." I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. That's right. Three's a crowd. One has to be eliminated. We are caught in a love triangle. Well, more like a love

square including Tasaki. Dai-ran liked Sakura, Tasaki liked me, I like Sakura, and from what I've heard from Tomoyo, Sakura likes me too. Argh! What am I going to do? Wait a

second. I LOVE Sakura, she might LOVE me, Tasaki LIKES me, but what about Dai-ran? Does he LIKE her, or LOVE her? There's a major difference in between.

"Dai-ran, be honest with me. Do you LIKE Sakura, or do you LOVE her?" at this, he blushed. What on earth is wrong with my family? My mum blushes, my sisters blushes, Dai-

ran blushes, and even I blush sometimes.

"I guess I don't know. I mean, I've only met her for like a few days ago, maybe even a week. But love? I'm not sure that you can fall in love in such short time."

"Well, you're wrong. I mean, you can fall in love with someone at first glance. It is possible. I mean, it's RARE, but it is possible. You might even start off at not so good terms, but

there's always a little bit of chance that you will fall for them. True love is like wanting to be with them all the time, seeing that person's face in your mind all the time, but most

importantly, wanting them to be happy, even if it means that they end up with someone else. That is true love. It can go as easily as it comes, but that's rare too. And no matter what

everyone thinks she looks like, she'll always be beautiful in your eyes." Dai-ran stared at me with wide eyes.

"Woah…never knew you knew all these stuff. So maybe," he nudged me in my ribs

"You LOVE someone, don't you?" My eyes widened. How did he know.

"Come on, you can tell me. Who do you love? Anyone I know?"

"I…I don't know what you're talking about…" I said, trying to stall for a bit longer.

"Come on! Don't try to bluff your way out of this! That whole speech about love? You would only know that if you were actually in love with someone. Who is it?"

"No one!" I am not prepared to tell my big brother that I am actually in love with HIS girlfriend.

"I know who it is…" I stared at him through wide eyes.

"It's Sakura…"


Hi you guys! Sorry for the slow update, and I know I said that this story is coming to a conclusion, but you guys wouldn't want to rush me so that I try to hurry up and mess up the

ending, do you? Because that can be arranged…unless…you REVIEW! Oh yeah, I'm gonna write a new story, dunno what it's called, but this is the summary:

Japan lost in a huge war, which left it in tatters and poor.Syaoran carried a heavy burden, knowing he has to marry before he turns 19. He didn't want to marry a

spoilt girl, so he decided to choose someone from Japan, who would not take anything for granted. To do this, he adopted (as in charity) a girl of 11 inJapan, where

hopefullythe girl would receive his ring. He also put a message in it saying 'This ring binds our engagement together, when you turn 18, it will be the time for us to

meet.' He also included his address. And who happened to recieve it? Sakura of course! She cherished the ring year after year until she was 18, and managed to get to

China. But what does she find out about her future husband? He's engaged! But she won't rest until she marries him. She hate people who break their promise...

I know, the summary is bad, I thought of it when I was in school. Do you know that there's this manga that Clamp made using some of the characters in CCS? And they're all

grown up! But the storyline is different. Like Tomoyo doesn't know Sakura, but the SS couple like each other! It's called Tsubasa Chronicle, and you can also get it in anime.

Check it out! Anyways, see ya all till next time, and stay tuned to 'It Just Takes Three Weeks'!
