Chapter 11: A Surprise

"Step away from my fiancée, you red-haired retard!" Meiling roared in frustration as Cherry rubbed her head in pain. The whole school stopped dancing and gathered around the three.

"You stay away from her." Syaoran warned. "And how many times do I have to tell you, I AM NOT YOUR FIANCEE?!"

"You are so my fiancée! I'm Meiling Li, your cousin, and we were betrothed at birth, and our wedding is said to be after college!"

Syaoran blushed while the whole school "whoo'ed" . "Mother called it off!"

"Yes, but my mother didn't. The wedding's still on, and as long as I'm your fiancée, no girl is going to approach you anymore, you big two-timer playboy!!" Meiling sneered while Syaoran growled.

"Well, no one's going to go near him anymore, under your care, that's for sure," Cherry muttered, standing up from the floor.

"What? Y-you can't do this, Meiling! Cherry's my date for this dance!" Syaoran yelled, but Cherry gestured.

"It's okay, Syaoran, I understand. Meiling wants you to only love her. It's only stating the obvious. I understand completely. After all, that's what couples should do, right?" Cherry smiled.

Meiling smirked while Syaoran stared at Cherry blankly. "Cherry, I'm sorry we didn't finish our conversation earlier, but are you Sa-"

"Uh-that's okay, I'll call you tonight!" Cherry said as she ran up the stairs and out the door. Syaoran could only watch as her shadow was being swallowed into the dark misty night.

"So, may I have this dance?" Meiling flinched her eyes.

Cherry walked on the street alone, thinking of this mysterious girl, Meiling. Syaoran has a fiancée? She thought, and when I have just been in love for the first time in my whole entire life—although it took me long enough to recognize it, with circumstances being that we both totally resent each other and all—but still!

The darkness of the night surrounded Cherry as tears of regret and hatred fell dangling on her rosy cheeks. If only I hadn't fallen for that fool of a boy!

So, in a way, Syaoran cheated on her. He had another affair with another girl while going out with Cherry at the same time—and just when she found out that she was really Sakura Kinomoto through the DNA test, her life was flipped upside down. As Cherry lifted her eyes to meet the Hong Kong Grand Hotel, she felt something that she has never felt before—to return to royalty. The Japanese papers will fling at the sight of the long- lost princess, and the Kinomoto Hotel will be returned to her, in honor of her royal family...

She will be the dream of every teenage girl in Japan...

She will take every boy's breath away...

She will have the most luxurious things...

She will own the most precious jewelry...

She will have seen the most amazing sights...

And all at a price of never seeing that deceiving, conceited, baka again... That's a good deal... Right?

Cherry suddenly lost the strength in her body as the boy met her lips. He gazed at her emerald eyes gently, locked within her orbs.

"What the hell do you think you're doing??" Cherry asked, and slapped the boy.

"Great. That was my 966th slap. Do girls have to get so emotional when guys kiss them??" the boy asked, rolling his eyes.

"They do if they don't know why the hell you kissed them!"


Haha... that was so funny! HOLD ON. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

"Syaoran! Didn't I make your life a living hell?" Cherry asked.

Syaoran leaned forward to meet Cherry's lips, caressing his hand on her cheeks. "No, idiot, I loved you from the start."

Stupid memories! Get the hell out of my head!

S.L. S.K.
Forever...

That stupid bracelet! Why did Syao—

Cherry paused. The bracelet! Where was it?! She remembered that she had given them to Syaoran to remember Sakura, but now, since she is Sakura-

"CHERRY!" An anxious voice sounded from afar.

Cherry wiped her tears as she stubbornly turned around, greeted by a kiss and a flash of amber. "S-Syaoran?" she asked.

"Yes. Cherry, I'm so, so sorry about tonight. Meiling wasn't supposed to come, I mean, Mother already called off the engagement-"

"You needn't explain," Cherry smiled, "I understand."

Syaoran nodded. "T-there's something I need to tell you."

"Yes?" Cherry widened her eyes.

"I—I love you." Syaoran whispered. Cherry stared.

"I'm Sakura Kinomoto." She said gently.

There was a sudden shock in Syaoran's eyes, but they seem to soften away. "You know, ever since you came to my school, I can't help myself but think about you every night in my sleep. Even if you're not Cherry Kura—"

"I'm not Cherry Kura." Cherry said seriously. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright. You'll always been Cherry to me," Syaoran laughed.

"No, you don't understand, Syaoran. Everything's changed. I'm going back." Cherry stated obviously. "I've decided that I want to be royal.""

"Be royal?" Syaoran asked in surprise.

"Remember? The things you told me? Of how I am the supposed princess of Japan and 23rd to the throne, and how they think I was 'killed' in a plane accident and how my family owned the Kinomoto Grand Hotel? I want those things back. I need those things back. In fact, I want the family I will never remember back. I want everything back I was before." Cherry stated monotonously.

"No, you can't go back! I mean, they already think you're dead, and your hotel is managed by another woman—w-what about Cherry Kura? So, you're just going to leave her here? Leave her memories here? Is that what you mean?" Syaoran shouted angrily.

"I've made my decision. I'm going back to become who I was. Do you know how long it's been since I've wondered who I was? When I first awoke from the accident, I didn't remember who I was. I've gotten amnesia. And my only dream afterwards was to be loved. And now, I've achieved my dreams. But the boy who I thought loved me broke my heart.

"That's not true! I still lo—"

"And as for Cherry Kura, she's a nobody. Her memories will be brainwashed. They never existed. They never have existed. They never will exist. End of sentence." Cherry flashed her emerald orbs.

"What about me? Cherry Kura existed in Syaoran Li's eyes. She did exist!"

"You never did care about me. If you did, then that's your problem. I'm Sakura Kinomoto from now on. I've never met you in my whole life, neither have you I. We will continue on two different paths, and they are never to cross—they were never meant to cross anyway. This whole school thing—over." Sakura said firmly.

"What? What about us? I've loved you since the beginning of time, and you have rejected me. But now you come back to me and well, I love you, again, and this time, you hadn't rejected me, and you treated me like a decent person, like the way I deserve to be treated." Syaoran argued.

"Look, you deceiving, conceited bastard! You were already engaged. I don't care what you say, but you are going to marry that Meiling when we finish college. You were just playing my feelings because you think I look like your childhood friend—that's real cold, playboy—who I don't know if you really met her, and just dump me like that in front of the whole school." Sakura said resentfully.

"I never dumped you! I knew Sakura Kinomoto, I really did. But since you are the same person, I just want Cherry back, if not, her memories of us."

"Well, you just lost her. Is this what you want? I guess you finally went out with every single girl in the school haven't you?" Sakura said coldly.

"That was then. I've changed since then, Ch-Sakura. I've only ever loved you, but my memories of you—they changed gradually over time as the new you found me. I love you both, but I can only choose one, and that's Cherry." Syaoran said truthfully.

"Look, playboy, Cherry's gone, and you don't like Sakura Kinomoto, so let's just end it here, okay?" Sakura shouted into the dark amist atmosphere. "Goodbye!" she ran.

Home or Love?

Deceit or Forgive?

Happy or Regret?

Didn't I make your life a living hell?

Amber eyes sneered at her.

"Of course, you big liar!" Sakura screamed.

A/N: yeah, sad chappie... now she has to choose between love or her home... tough choice (I'd choose home tho cuz I luv my parents and my family, and you can always love another person!) oh well... hope u enjoyed it! RR!

Ok, syao doesn't like saku cuz saku rejected him... remember when she said "someday ur gonna find a girl that you luv more than me..." and whatever? He doesn't really like her anymore since cherry stepped in. that's why he wants cherry (And her personality w/o the snobbishness) to stay. Get it? Yeah me too... -.- so confused...
