A/N: Thanks to everyone that reviewed! Which means : monito, dbzgtfan2004, FlowerLover and Convoy Butterfly. Here's the next chapter just for you guys... Oh and sorry about the lateness. My computer was busted for almost a week until the fixer dude finally came.
Convoy Butterfly: Thanks for the review! I appreciate the time you spent for typing all that out! lol! I guess you can say some characters are out of character in this fic. Therefore Syaoran doesn't have a cold appearance and let's people call him by his first name (especially Lisa since he kind of has a crush on her). I never said Lisa was from Japan...you probably just assumed that she was Japanese. You won't really see Tomoyo and Eriol's relationship since I'm not going to have them appear much so it probably won't matter if he's with her or Kaho since this isn't based on the anime. I should've warned people that some characters are OOC huh? Oh well...now they know. I won't use football because it might mess up some of us North American folks.
Disclaimer: Once again I don't own CCS.
Information that I should've told you earlier: This has pretty much nothing to do with CCS and it doesn't have any magic. Sorry about the bad start! hehehe...
..:Chapter One:..
Leaving the Flower
It was fifteen minutes past seven at night when the chestnut haired boy opened the front door of the Kinomoto Residence, only to be greeted with a big blast of music coming from the stereo system. He casually walked in, dodging items that were being thrown and all the people dancing and drinking pop. He greeted other team-mates who wore their team sweaters and cheerleaders who in his opinion had to much make up and revealing clothes. He smiled knowing Lisa would never do that since she was too innocent. He kept on walking until he came across the clear bat-winged doors that led to the balcony. There he saw someone sitting quietly on the wooden bench, staring out into the garden. She turned and smiled, with her emerald green eyes shinning brightly in the moonlight.
"Took you long enough to arrive," she said after the silence between the two.
"You know how I love my fashionably late entrances," he answered back with a grin, sitting next to her.
"I hate it when you take all the attention." she pouted.
"I did it just for you Sakura." he said sarcastically.
"Great...that makes me feel so loved!" she replied sarcastically as well.
"You should babe...because damn your fine!" said a voice from behind them. Sakura rolled her eyes and stared behind her at the jet black haired boy with light skin who was leaning against the doorframe.
"Get lost Logan." said Syaoran as he glared before Sakura could even talk.
"Chill it's a party. Plus I need to have a talk with you. Would you please excuse us my pretty flower?" he asked the girl wearing baggy clothes who was now also glaring at him for telling her to leave at her own party.
"Stop trying to sweet talk me because it won't work Wong-kun. Why don't you just get a whore who's at this party because I'm not interested. I'll be at getting a beverage if you need me Syaoran." she replied boldly making it clear that she wasn't that easy to get, nor was she interested in him. They watched her leave and close the door behind her before Logan turned around and faced Syaoran once more.
"Fiery little thing isn't she?" smirked Logan. Syaoran wondered what he saw and her but shrugged it off knowing Sakura was his friend and he shouldn't think badly of her.
"Touch Sakura and die." said Syaoran coldly.
"I'm planning to do more than that. Besides it's not like you would care... I know you have a thing for my sister." he slowly said...causing Syaoran eyes to bulge and his head wonder how he would know.
"It's quiet obvious you know. Mostly the whole school knows about your little crush." he smirked evilly.
"Why are you telling me this?" asked Syaoran who was confused.
"I can help you...for a price..."
Sakura grumbled as she sat on the sofa drinking some pop. She sighed as she watched couples starting to form and dance to the slow song that was currently playing. She dreamed of the day that Syaoran and her would be one of those couples dancing away and forgetting all of their surroundings. She took another sip of her punch before putting it down and searching for her phone.
She found it in her kitchen counter and dialled the number as if she dialled it many previous times before. She pressed the phone to her ear before listening to the rings of the phone. After the third ring she heard a male voice answer. She smiled knowing that this person would brighten her day.
"Onii-chan(sp?)! How I've missed you so much!" cried Sakura joyfully into the phone.
"Same to you. How's home? By the sound of it looks as though you're having another party."
"Yah our soccer team is doing great! How's the college life?"
"Me and Yukito are doing great. We might be able to come and visit you in a week or two."
"That's fantastic! I can't wait to see you! Well I should go now...one of my team members calling me. I love you!"
"That's nice...I'll talk to you later monster. Bye,"." said Touya quickly.
She sighed and blinked her eyes to prevent the tears that were beginning to form. She loved her brother but she's never once heard her brother say it back ever since their mother died five years ago in a car crash that when she was going to a photo shoot since she was a model. Her brother practically lost all of his loving feelings for anyone. Sakura knew it wasn't her fault but she wanted to help him from the pain. She wanted him to help her as well so they can one day move on with their lives. Just as Sakura was going to get sucked in to her past memories someone tapped her on the shoulder.
She turned around to face a frustrated Syaoran.
"Can we go somewhere?" he grumbled quietly in her ear.
"But why aren't you having fun?"
"It's important." he said a little firmer.
"O-ok. Let me just tell Tomoyo to look after the party and then we can leave." Syaoran nodded and watched her leave to seek out her best friend.
Sakura and Syaoran walked down the dark street...neither knowing where they were going. They walked in silence until Sakura spoke up.
"Did you have something to tell me?"
"Let's take a left here and then we can sit down to talk." he spoke pointing to the local park. They walked around the playground and sat on the swings. Syaoran spoke cautiously.
"Remember this spot Sakura?" he asked.
"How could I forget. It was the place where we first met." she sighed.
"God you haven't changed your tomboy appearance." he smiled.
"Neither have you changed being a dork." she smirked.
"Hey that's not true!" cried Syaoran.
"I'm just kidding. But what's the point of bringing me here?" she asked trying to get to the point. Syaoran sighed and stared to talk.
"You've been my best friend for three years and I greatly appreciate your friendship. You know how Logan and Lisa are twins?"
"Yah and you like Lisa...so what?" she asked. Syaoran stared blankly at her for realizing she knew his secret all along. He shook his head and finally said.
"I agreed with Logan that he could be on the soccer team if he arranged a date with his sister."
"But Syaoran...the soccer teams already full." said a confused Sakura.
"That's where our friendship comes in. You see Sakura...I knew you would understand if you weren't on the team since you are a girl and all..."
"Are you taking me off the teamto datesome whore?" cried Sakura outraged as she stood up from where she sat.
"Don't you dare call her that! If you even are my friend you will not talk about Lisa like that !" said Syaoran getting mad and also standing up to look down on her, showing his advantage on height compared to the 5'4ft girl glaring up at him.
"I'm telling the truth! Didn't you know for the whole time that Lisa came form America a year ago that she got a reputation for sleeping around with too many people? Your just blinded by her appearance just like every other guy!"
"Your lying!" he said as he raised his voice.
"Believe what you want. I'm giving you a choice...choose between me and Lisa. What would make you really happy? A friend who's been their for you or some girl that just happens to come along to seduce you...whom you barely know anything about! I bet you don't even know her birthday!" shouted Sakura as she stared deep into his eyes, longing for him to choose the right one. There was a long pause before Syaoran quietly answered.
"I'm sorry Sakura..."
"No...I'm sorry. Sorry that our friendship is going to end," she said as she was trying to not let tears fall from her eyes.
"Sakura...what are you talking about?" he asked the girl who faced her back to him.
"You heard me Syaoran! Our friendship is over!" cried Sakura with tears falling down her face. She couldn't take it anymore. Sakura ran away into the night, trying to get as far away from Syaoran as possible. Syaoran stared at her with a shocked expression before he began to chase after her. He ran until he heard a noise coming from the street on the right. He saw Sakura with her head in her hands, crying on the curb and just looking helpless. His eyes softened and he felt bad knowing he was the one who caused her tears to fall. The one who caused her pain when she trusted him with their friendship.
"I hate him! I hate him so much! And to think I was friends with that jerk! He knows how important the teammeans to me!" she cried helplessly to herself.
'I can't believe you were friends with a jerk like me either.' thought Syaoran in his head as he walked away with the biggest feeling of guilt and the sadness of losing his friend.
