Chapter 4 – Unexpected Arrival
Syaoran and Mitsuki---his new girlfriend, sat on the front seat of the auditorium, having no idea why they're brought there.
Syaoran wrapped his arm on Mitsuki's shoulder and leaned closer, whispering sweet nothings on her ear. Mitsuki could feel the warmth of his breath tickling the lines of her ear. She giggled alluringly.
"Syaoran stop it… Not here…" She screeched seductively. Every girl glared daggers at her and started gossiping about her.
"You know what, I can't understand why Syaoran had that Mitsuki girl as his girlfriend…" One blue haired girl whispered with a 'she's-not-worth-it' look on her face.
"Yah, she's not popular like us! And Syaoran, he is my dream guy… uhh…" Another girl with green hair agreed. Her eyes sparkling as she stares at Syaoran.
"Hey Syao! You're here!" Eriol approached. He came forward to where Syaoran is, sat next to him and they high-fived each other.
"Eriol, this is my new girl, Mitsuki." Syaoran introduced plainly. Mitsuki waved her hand at him with a cute smile. Eriol did the same, he was kind of surprise.
He jutted nearer to Syaoran and whispered "Hey, but how about that Yumiko girl?" He questioned.
"Were through. I'm tired of her." Syaoran responded nonchalantly.
"Excuse me!" The principal started. "You're probably wondering what today's assembly is all about. Allow me to spill the answer, well, it's simply because we have our former students back. They came all the way from France because they wanted to visit us here in Tomoeda High for some important reasons. Some of you might recognize them as students but I know most of you will recognize them as famous stars. Here, give it up for Tomoyo Daidouji!"
Students politely clapped their hands while some shrieked in joy. The famous teenage designer stepped through the heavy velvet curtains and took her place on the stage. Eriol stared at her proudly with a smirk on his face. In his eyes were filled with fondness and love.
Syaoran eyed at his cousin who is dazed at the beauty of his girlfriend. He was kind of surprised yet happy to see his long-time-no-see friend right there, now a famous designer. Syaoran just looked at her, having no idea of what's coming his way.
"Good afternoon everyone! I hope I will enjoy my stay here with all of you. Well, let me tell you, I'm not interested in dating or whatever because I'm already taken. Eriol Hiirigazawa is my boyfriend… So girls, stay away from him… That's all…" Tomoyo said proudly. She winked at Eriol who is now flushing crimson red then wagged her hand at Syaoran who is laughing hardly at his cousin.
Syaoran leaned over to Eriol and chirped with a smile "She haven't changed a bit, she's still the possessive girlfriend of yours." Eriol nodded his head with a smirk.
"Yah, that's what I like about her…" He mumbled sweetly then they both giggled.
Students were now screaming for Tomoyo's name. She stepped aside giving way for her friend.
"Well, that's Tomoyo Daidouji. Next in line, we have here the famous model. Prepare yourselves for Meiling Li." The principal announced.
Most of the girls were dot-eyed with that 'she's hot' look on their faces while a lot of guys ascended from their seats to take pictures of Meilin on their cellphones.
Syaoran breathed shallowly in shock. 'My cousin, she's back without even me knowing. If she and Tomoyo were back….maybe….' He gulped then he abruptly shuddered his head off, snapping off his thoughts immediately. 'So what if she's back… I don't care if she's here or not, I don't care about her.' He protested to himself.
"Oh my gosh Syaoran! I love them and I will be completed if Sakura Kinomoto's here also." Mitsuki shrieked cheerily. Syaoran gulped once more then he rolled his eyes and snubbed his girl.
Meiling stepped out and gave a quick hair toss. She flashed a swift beautiful smile. Syaoran and Eriol both chuckled when they saw her.
"Hello! I'm Meiling Li as you can see. I'm Syaoran and Eriol's cousin. I'm pretty friendly but don't you dare mess up with my friends and me. Lastly, I want to inform you guys that I'm single!" Meiling announced slyly. She winked at Eriol and Syaoran who just both sweatdropped.
"She's still the same… Were troubled!" Eriol screeched with a vein popping out on his head. Syaoran bobbed his head gently.
"Yah! That's way too sure…" He cried back. Mitsuki looked at them confused.
"Syaoran, you haven't told me that Meiling Li is your cousin." She grunted while staring at Meiling's lovely skirt.
"Well, now you know." Syaoran shrilled annoyed.
"And now, the last but not the least of course, I present to you France's top model and famous singer… Sakura Kinomoto." The principal herself almost leap in joy.
Everyone gasped, screamed, shouted, fainted in joy, and shrieked for autographs. Mitsuki herself almost cried in happiness, her favorite performer is about to meet her way.
Syaoran's P.O.V.
When I heard that name, I suddenly shifted from warm and sweet to hard and cold. Open confusion and horror creased my dramatic features. I felt as if my body is stiffening that I cannot move a bit. My mind lost in painful thoughts. "She's back… I'm gonna see her again." I yelped to myself. I can't understand what I'm feeling now, am I happy or am I sad? Do I still love her? And now that she's back, are we gonna be together? I felt an objection from deep within my left chest. 'No! She left me for her dreams, why should I care for her? Yes, she's back but I won't take her back… Never… She can't fool me again!' I contemplated to myself. Tears begun sprouting on my eyes but I did my best to stop it, to stop it from falling completely and I succeeded. I hate her, I hate her… That's all I'm sure of.
The pretty, tall, auburn haired model/singer with emerald orbs wearing haltered blouse and pink mini skirt stepped out of the curtains. She was beautiful, beautiful as she always was. Students became much wilder. Girls were screaming for a song while the boys blushed furiously while gazing at all her features.
Sakura searched the auditorium, looking for Syaoran. "Hi! I'm just a regular teen who likes to do regular stuffs… So please treat me just like everybody else and please no autographs the entire time I'm here. Thank you!" She muttered with a smile stretched across her face. Finally, she spotted the guy she loves the most. She can feel the joy from her nerves and to her body and to her heart. 'He's here, I missed him… so much… But why is he glaring at me like that?' She pondered, her smile diminished into a sigh. Her gaze still focused on the amber-eyed guy who is staring back at her deadly. She gulped.
"Well, we have a special number for you all. This song is entitled "First Love". Check it out!" Sakura enunciated with a forced smile. From the moment she saw his deadly glares, she knew everything won't be the same again, she cognized that there will be a problem, a big problem… but she decided to put it aside for now and continue what she was supposed to do.
The students got wilder and wilder. They were all taking pictures of Sakura and screaming for the three star's names.
"Check it out yourself!" Syaoran mumbled to himself. He can't determine what his true feelings are. His emotions were all mixed up. One side of him wanted to run up to Sakura and hugged her while on the other side he wanted to walk away. Eriol just stared at his cousin ruefully.
Tomoyo, Sakura and Meiling were now on their positions at the stage, each with a microphone. Sakura was at the center while Tomoyo and Meiling were at the sides being the back-up singers. The organ played. (The organist appeared out of the blue with his organ and played.) Sakura began…
Saigo no kisu wa
Tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigakute setsunai kaori Ashita no imagoro niwa
Anata wa doki ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari
Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotterun darou
You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
You will alwa….
Sakura stopped her singing when she saw Syaoran walking out of the auditorium. Nobody seems to notice the messy haired guy, not even Mitsuki because they are all captivated and concentrated on the song Sakura is singing. Sakura whispered this to Meiling and Tomoyo and asked them to carry on with the song while she goes after Syaoran. The two girls hesitated but soon agreed when they saw Sakura's pleading orbs.
She went down the stage gently and slowly so that no one can discern her. As soon as she got out of the hall, she dashed as fast as possible with her hair flying behind her. Knowing Syaoran will head there, Sakura ran towards the playground. Luckily, she's right, Syaoran is there, standing near the pole.
