ON WITH THE STTTTOOOOORRRIIIEEE

"Morning Richie!" said Sakura running up to him.

"Hey Sakura!" began Richie.

"Did you like the boat trip yesterday?"

"Hai! It's such an experience! I went on a boat cruise with Clow 4! We even talked like we were friends! I won't have anyone bullying me anymore now- HUH? What the!"

A thousand beer, coke and all sort of cans were chucked at them. They quickly ran inside. The first lesson in the morning were athletics theorem. They needed sport shoes. Sakura opened her locker to search for her shoes. She searched high and low.

"What's the matter Sakura?" said Richie who already had his on his feet.

"I've lost them again! It's my third pair!" said Sakura panicking.

"Looking for these?" said a voice, a familiar voice.

Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran, Eriol and Hiro. She gasped. On Syaoran's feet were her NEW sport shoes. His toes stuck out of them. He acted cool with his hands in his pockets even though he knew he looked like a complete idiot. Sakura looked at him in horror and pushed past him and his friends, cursing. Richie ran after her.

"Did you see her FACE?" said Syaoran laughing his head off.

"Was that the thing you said that was very amusing so you had to drag us up so early?" asked Hiro giving a yawn and rolled his eyes.

Syaoran shrugged and smiled to himself as they began walking to class.

"I swear….You have the weirdest way to express love………" said Eriol.

"Hey!" exclaimed Syaoran. "We're Clow Four! You should be encouraging me! And where's Shingo?"

"I thought you guys had a fight? Why would you be looking for him?" said Hiro.

"Well, we're Clow Four right? It'll look weird to people having one missing………"

Sakura ran to the balcony. She wanted to relax a bit and also see Shingo. She pushed the door and looked around. And sighed.

Not here………. She thought.

"You're looking for me?"

Sakura jumped and squealed.

"AH! You didn't even make a sound when you came in!" said Sakura.

Shingo stared at her innocently, laughed and went on the edge of the balcony. He swiftly jumped up on the stone edge and sat down. Sakura just looked at him, smiling through her eyes. He turned to look at her.

"Stop day dreaming and come up," he said chuckling.

She went over and started climbing, she had a lot of trouble.

"Can I have some help?" she said.

Shingo just looked at her.

"Can I have some help!"

He reached out a hand and she took it and finally got up.

"Thanks," she said to Shingo.

"It's still so beautiful up here. Especially when you sit on the side!" she continued.

"It's much more quite," said Shingo.

They started to talk like long lost friends.

123123123123123123123123123123123123123123

Syaoran held two cans of coke. He wanted to find Shingo and apologize. He wanted to forget about fighting Sakura pulling arms thing. He didn't know where he was so he stopped a guy walking past by pulling his arm.

"Oi. Do you know where Shingo is?" he said.

"Er…….I saw him walking to the balcony, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" said the guy on his knees.

"Pathetic," muttered Syaoran.

He walked up to the balcony ready to do everything that was planned. But when he got up their she saw Sakura and him together talking like long lost friends. He felt fumed. He heard them talking really nicely.

"You know, that night I really thought you really hated me. Causing you all these trouble and problems," said Sakura to Shingo not noticing Syaoran there at all.

Shingo turned to her and gave her a smile.

"Silly girl," he said.

"Hey! I mean it! I really did think so!"

Jealousy swelled. Syaoran squeezed the coke cans so hard he popped them. He stomped out of the balcony and as he was walking down the stairs he chucked the cans aside. He wanted to see Hiro and Eriol. He needed to know the truth about all this. He walked to the fountain and found the two chatting. He went up to them in stiff, cold mode.

"You knew Shingo and Sakura are together don't you?" he said accusingly.

Eriol and Hiro looked at each other then back at Li.

"No……….Are they?" said Eriol.

"Um, cause if they are, it must have been after your fight with him…" said Hiro.

"Of course they are! I have evidence!" said Minako coming behind Syaoran.

She held a camera. She pressed on the buttons and handed it to Syaoran. Syaoran watched the things they taped. Shingo and Sakura talking a few times at the balcony. Then them talking on the boat eating off Sakura's bowl. Eriol and Hiro felt trouble brewing. Syaoran, in rage smashed the camera to the ground.

"Hey! My V8!" exclaimed Rei.

Minako walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. After this, we'll have more then a V8 camera," she whispered.

Minako walked over to Syaoran and gave a flirtious glance.

"Sakura doesn't want you. She wants Shingo. But who cares? I mean there are better people," said Minako.

She placed a hand on his arm.

"Don't touch me!" said Syaoran and flung her away like nothing with great force.

Minako squealed and nearly fell but Hiro caught her and helped her stand up again.

"You hit a woman Xiao Lang?" said Eriol.

He walked up to him.

"C'mon Xiao Lang. You know that Shingo only has eyes for Sharina. He can't like Sakura," Eriol continued.

He put an arm on his shoulder like mates.

"Get your hand off," said Syaoran coldly and clearly.

Eriol took his hand off and lift his hands up in a surrender way. Syaoran walked away in a really bad mood. Eriol walked back to Hiro and said:

"3 years ago he had that same flare in his eyes. It was when he nearly killed someone in a fight. Please tell me it's not coming again………"

Back at the balcony, Shingo's phone gave a few beeps. He looked at the message he got and said to Sakura,

"Sorry, but I need to go now."

He got of the edge and handed Sakura an envelope.

"What's this?" said Sakura accepting the envelope.

"It's an invitation to Sharina's birthday. You are going aren't you?" said Shingo.

Sakura paused for a second.

Then she nodded.

Shingo went off. Sakura sat there for a bit longer. She thought about the party, wondering if she should really go. Then she came up with the point that she should take someone with her. She got off the edge and headed for the door and stopped when she bumped into a black figure. She screamed.

"SYAORAN LI! You startled me! Just standing there! I'm going home………" stuttered Sakura, turning to the door.

Syaoran suddenly grabbed her by the neck with his hand.

"You're not going anywhere I'm afraid bitch!" he said.

Sakura's eyes widened and she stared at Syaoran who still had the hand on her neck which was quite firm.

"It's all your fault! Liking him! You always ruin things!" he shouted in her face.

"What are you talking about! What's wrong with you! Let me go! LET ME GO!" shouted Sakura.

"SHUT UP!"

Syaoran lift his fist to punch her but she quickly turned her head and made his hand bash onto the hard wall. She saw the expression on his face. The pain and hurt. She knew it hurt like hell because his eyes where scrounged up and his grip loosened on the neck. Seeing the chance she pushed him aside and ran out the door. She turned around and hastily threw her bag at him and quickly ran. She stumbled down the first flight of stairs but Syaoran practically jumped the first flight of stairs. He pushed her to the wall and started kissing her. She started shouting and screaming.

"Please don't! Please get off me please Syaoran! Please don't do this! PLEASE!"

Suddenly her pink shirt sleeve ripped from Syaoran grabbing it and she gasped. She started crying and didn't fight or struggle and just drop. Syaoran felt her loosen and looked at her crying face. He let her go, but she didn't move but just slide to the ground, still crying. He slides down with her, still facing her.

"Look, I'm…. so..so sorry………"

He put a hand on her shoulder and leaned his head on hers. His face was with a hurt expression, his eyes closed. He then sat down next to her on the side, an arm around her and she cried uncontrollably on his chest.

"Please stop crying………I'm not going to hurt you again……… Really…….I promise….."

Sakura stopped at her own door step.

How am I going to go into the house like nothing's happen? She thought.

She took a deep breath and stepped in.

"I'm home!"

Syaoran

He sat on his sofa, a maid was wrapping his hand with thick white bandages. It bled badly before. He leaned back in disbelief and thought back to what happened, hearing the screams still in his ears.

Sakura

She was in her bed couldn't sleep because of what happened. She remembered the expression that Syaoran had.

What is up with him? She thought. He always resist the pain.

She was really worried.

Syaoran

His hand has been finished but his mind hasn't. He was regretting what happen.

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? He thought.

What was he thinking? Sakura thought.

1231321321321321321321321321321321321321321321

The next morning, Sakura walked past a crowd of people at the notice board. She halted suddenly and turned her head towards the board. A yellow notice was pinned up. It said:

"DO NOT HURT SAKURA KINOMOTO ANYMORE!

SIGNED SYAORAN LI"

Her eyes widens and she ran away quickly with all the people staring at her.

12312312312312313123123123123123123123123123123123

After school, Chiharu and Sakura walked together. Chiharu suddenly remembered about the invitation she got. She quickly fished it out of her bag and stopped Sakura.

"Sakura! I got this invitation to Miss Sharina's party," said Chiharu.

"You did? Great! I'm going too," said Sakura.

"But, I've never been to these kind of parties. I don't even know what to wear, I'm just going to be embarrassed. I'm not sure I should go," said Chiharu looking down as they walk.

Sakura swished around with her hair flying.

"Your going and that's that!" said Sakura staring at Chiharu with firm eyes.

Chiharu nodded. If Sakura thought she had the confidence, she should have right?

They said good-bye and Sakura went of to her bike. She found a present in the basket and looked at it puzzled. She opened it to find a beautiful pale pink dress that sparkled.

"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful!" said Sakura.

She looked inside the thin box and found a small red card in it. She read the writing in white out and frowned.

"Dear Sakura, I'm so sorry about yesterday. Please accept my gift and wear it at the party. Syaoran Li(heart)"

"Sucked up asshole………" muttered Sakura. "I'm not going to keep this, this rubbish!"

She lifted up the boxes, ribbons and dress and was about to throw it to the ground but something halted her. She placed them down back into the bike basket.

Chiharu said she doesn't have anything to wear, thought Sakura.

She peddled to the cake shop as fast as she could, she was definitely going to invite Tomoyo. Richie was already going and she needed more encouragement, especially to face Syaoran after what happened.

Boring isn't it?P Review please?
