Stupid Society and culture assignment! so don't want to do it, gonna get bashed by someone LOLZ Anyways enough about our school. Sorry but I wrote up this chapter this time and I know all you guys were waiting for Cherry's update coz she's so cool! (Bestii!) well I hope you enjoy it anyways:
It was Monday morning and Sakura was just opening the door to her house to leave for school when she met a pair of amber eyes just starring back at her. She let out a cry as she stepped back, flabbergasted and heart pumping fast. She didn't expect anyone to be at the front door.
"Hey girl, it's just me," Syaoran said, a smile crept on his face. Seeing her like this was very adorable. Sakura covered her chest with her hand breathing in deeply, "you scared the hell out of me Syaoran! What's your problem!"
Syaoran cocked an eyebrow confused bout her question, but nevertheless he took out the surprise he was holding from behind his back and holding it out to Sakura. It was his way of saying thank you for giving him a second chance, one that even he knew that he didn't deserve.
She looked at the bunch of flowers dazed. She was wondering why he was doing this for her, he did cheat on her and they've separated for a while now. "These are for you," Syaoran told her, "because I know you're taking a huge chance with me and I hope these flowers show you how I feel."
It hit Sakura, "oh yeah!" she accidentally said out loud, confusing poor Syaoran even more. She remembered that she took him back yesterday. 'How could I forget something like that?' Sakura thought amazed at how blonde she was. She remembered two reasons why she took him back. One, she still loved him and two, to get him back for putting her through all the pain.
But she felt so guilty as she looked into the beautiful cherry blossoms. This wasn't like at all her, to seek out petty revenge like this. She felt ashamed of herself; she couldn't take it, "Sorry, but I can't accept these."
"Huh? Why?" Syaoran asked, confused as she was. This had cut him deep. His was extremely nervous, he never was truly in love with someone, and he too was putting his heart on the line.
Sakura didn't have a response to his question. She couldn't take it and she didn't want to explain why. But then she was surprised to see a smile on Syaoran's face. Is this another one of his stupid tricks again! Asshole.
"Hey its okay girl, I understand, I'm moving too fast," Syaoran said. Sakura was amazed by his response, not only because it was totally way off, but because he actually considered her feelings.
Sakura smiled back at him, "don't worry, I'll take them, wouldn't want these flowers to go to waste, would I?" She gave him a wink and finally accepted them. She walked into the house with him following not to far behind.
He looked around the house amazed at how beautiful this place really was, he never really took a good look at it. He remembered the first time he entered Sakura's house and Touya was threatening to cut off his balls with his bare hands if he ever broke Sakura's heart.
TOUYA! Syaoran froze at the thought of seeing Touya again. He definitely knew about what he did to Sakura and was afraid of seeing him again, but then again, who wouldn't be! He was the overprotective brother, any boys' worst nightmare!
Once Sakura place the flowers in a beautiful crystal vase with a bit of water, she turned around, not bothering to read the message that came with it, to see Syaoran with a pale face, like he just saw a ghost. "Uh, what's wrong?" Sakura asked, curious.
"Is um… Touya home?" he asked in a whisper, quivering inside. Sakura roared out laughing. She couldn't believe that he was still scared of Touya! 'I could use this to my advantage,' Sakura thought. Once she stopped laughing she shook her head answering his question, "no he isn't home Syaoran."
The colour returned to Syaoran's face as he let out a sigh of relief. "So, are you ready to go to school?" He asked, looking up into her eyes again. "Yup!" she replied cheerfully. He gave her his arm and she linked it with hers as she closed the door behind her.
He was so happy, holding Sakura's hands. He missed the warmth that Sakura had, the sweet smell of her hair and how her laugh could make him smile instantly. Syaoran swore he would take care of her and treat her like a princess, the way he should have treated her in the first place.
Sakura loved the feeling of being in his arms again. Her heart filled with bliss with each beat it took. Yet she couldn't help but remember the pain and agony he put her through when she found out that he cheated on her.
Could she really trust him? She truly wished she could, but there was a part of her that just couldn't, it made her feel sick for even just enjoying being in his presents. She would ask Tomoyo about it later on at school, she would know what to do.
Syaoran was so happy to be with her bent over to kiss Sakura on her cheek, but she involuntarily pushed him away hard. Both were very shocked by Sakura's unexpected action. She couldn't believe she even done that, although she doesn't exactly blame herself for doing so.
"I-I'm sorry," Syaoran apologised, looking down at his feet and fiddling with his hands feeling very embarrassed. He was seriously cut deep. "You don't have to apologise," Sakura said, wanting very much to reach out and put her hand on his arm to comfort him, but it didn't seem like the right time to do it.
"No, I was being stupid, I know you need time," Syaoran continued, now looking back into her eyes. 'Hmm…Syaoran calling himself stupid,' Sakura thought, 'this is totally different side to him.'
Sakura smiled and held his hand, "it's okay, I just have to get used to it. Don't take it the wrong way but I…" she let out a sigh then went on, "I still don't feel like I can trust you, you understand?"
Sakura felt stupid telling Syaoran how she really feels inside, really stupid. But Syaoran on the other hand was very happy about this, thinking that it was one baby step to gaining back her trust.
Once at school Syaoran walked Sakura over to Tomoyo, saying that the more time he spends with her the better because he'll miss her too much. Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow at the sight.
"Wow, I wouldn't have believed it if I haven't seen it with my own eyes!" Tomoyo said, watching Syaoran walk away still waving back at Sakura, "I thought you wanted revenge, not start over again!"
Sakura dropped her head; she was still very confused about this situation. Her heart leaped and her body tingled, making the confusion grow even bigger. She had always wanted revenge since she found out that he was cheating on her, why else would she want to kill him with his deck. But somehow she still loved him, for no apparent reason.
"Don't think I'm not going to get him back," She said finally lifting her head. Tomoyo raised an eyebrow, "you're going out with him to get him back, great plan Sakura." Sakura laughing, "no no, I know that he really likes me, at least I'm sure of it," Sakura explained, "this way I can show him how much he hurt me."
"What if this doesn't work, what if you fall in love again?" Tomoyo questioned, knowing that this is a bad idea. Sakura rubbed her arms looking down at the floor. Shame flowed through her blood; she didn't want to look at Tomoyo.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Tomoyo said mouth wide open. Sakura's cheeks glowed a beautiful scarlet thinking about her feelings towards Syaoran. She couldn't deny it anymore. "You still love him don't you?" Tomoyo asked in a very gentle and warming tone.
Sakura's head shot up hen she heard the word 'love'. Now it had a totally different meaning to her, "Love?" She thought out loud. She knew she wouldn't be able to go through with her plans if she was in love with Syaoran, could she?
"It doesn't matter, now I need some ways to get back at him before the big one!" Sakura exclaimed, now very enthusiastic. "Hmm… so what's the 'big one'?" Tomoyo asked, walking towards a silver bench.
Sakura laughed, rubbing the back of her head, "I'm not exactly sure!" Tomoyo dropped her head shaking it. "But I have an idea but I don't know how I'm going to go on bout it," Sakura continued.
"At least you got something," Tomoyo said lifting up her head, "so what is it?" "I want to hurt Syaoran the same way he did to me, so I need someone I can use to hurt him," Sakura answered, looking down at her hands.
"You sure you can go through with this?" Tomoyo asked, knowing that Sakura has a kind heart. "I know I can!" Sakura said, "He put me through all this, it's time he learnt his lesson!"
Tomoyo had an uneasy smile on her face. She knew it will end out bad, but if Sakura really wanted to do this then she'll just have to support her and be there for her no matter. "So, do you have any other plans?" Tomoyo asked.
"I was wondering if you could help me with that," Sakura said smiling, "I know his scared of Touya." Tomoyo burst out laughing, "Are you serious! Wow! This could really work our way, just as long as Touya doesn't flip out!"
Sakura giggled, "I'm sure he'll be happy to help." "Okay, Phase one: destructive Big Brother Touya! I'm going to have so much fun with this! You have to make sure I'm there okay!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"I'll ask Syaoran to invite Eriol as well," Sakura commented with a wink. "Aha! Funny!" Tomoyo said poking her tongue out. "Maybe I could convince him to go on a double date?" Sakura Teased.
She laughed as she saw Tomoyo's face turned red, but she learned that it wasn't because of her comment about Eriol. "Sakura, Can I please speak to you?" one of her classmates, Tai, asked.
He was the 'second' best looking guy in the entire school. According to Syaoran and almost everyone he was the number one best looking guy. But what would Tai need to say to Sakura?
"Yeah sure," She answered puzzled. She looked at Tomoyo before heading off with Tai to a quiet area. Tomoyo gave her the thumbs up with a big smile on her face; she couldn't wait to hear what he had to say to her.
Tai finally stopped once they were in a quiet area, under one of the cherry blossoms in the school. He turned to face her, fiddling with his hands nervously. Sakura smiled at him in a friendly way, "so what did you want to tell me?"
Tai took a deep breathe in, "I've been planning on saying this for a while now," He paused and laughed, "I never thought it would actually be this nerve racking." Sakura smiled at him confused, what's so nerve racking bout talking to her?
"Well anyways," he continued, looking into her eyes, "I just wanted to tell you that I like you a lot, and I mean a lot a lot and I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime?" Sakura's mouth dropped. The 'second' cutest guy in school just asked her out on a date!
Sakura just wanted to scream 'woohoo!' but then a picture of Syaoran smiling at her broke dreams of being with Tai. She dropped her head, 'oh man!' "I'm sorry, this might be a little odd for you," Tai apologise.
"No, no it isn't, it's just," Sakura sighed, "I got back together with Syaoran again." Tai was shocked by this news he heard. He thought Sakura would never go out with him again, after telling everyone what a jerk he was.
"Oh," was all that he could think to say. He was extremely embarrassed and Sakura felt so bad! If she never took him back Sakura would say yes instantly but now it just became a little complicated.
"If I weren't his girl I would go out with you in a second," Sakura wanted to make that clear. Tai smiled at her, he was happy to know that she had some sort of feelings for him, although it would seem her feelings for Syaoran was stronger.
"We are still friends right?" He asked. "Of course!" Sakura assured him with a smile. He offered to walk Sakura back to Tomoyo and she accepted. Tomoyo watched as they walked towards her.
"See you in class," Tai said walking away waving. "Bye!" Sakura waved back. "So! What happened!" Sakura blushed, "Tai asked me out on a date." Tomoyo gasp and squealed happily, "Oh my gosh! How cool! What did you say?"
"Sakura laughed rubbing her head, "I'm back with Syaoran!" Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh the irony of this happening, "At least you found your boy." "Huh?" Sakura said confused, "we could use him for the big plan." Sakura felt real bad that she was using him like this, but then again, when all this is finished she can be with Tai.
On the Other side of school Syaoran was telling his friends the great news about Sakura and Him getting back together. "No way!" They all gasped in horror. "What? Hey! You guys are supposed to be happy for me!" Syaoran protested at their reaction.
"What was Sakura thinking?" Eriol asked totally shocked. "Maybe Syaoran drugged her," Colin suggested, trying to think of an explanation for Sakura's foolish action. "I can't believe you guys!" Syaoran said totally offended.
"What? You can't blame us for re-acting this way, you did cut Sakura pretty deep," Yamazaki defended their actions. "Hey I swear I won't hurt her this time," Syaoran said. "No offence, but your promises don't mean much," Eriol said, looking at the floor.
What was this, Syaoran bashing day? "What's that supposed to mean?" Syaoran asked, feeling betrayed. "Exactly what he said," Colin answered, "you're never there when you say you are, and most of you're promised you never keep."
Syaoran frowned. So he had to prove to Sakura that she can trust him, and prove to his boys that they can rely on him. These few weeks are going to be real tough for him.
