Chapter 2
" Top it is"
" 1"
Wait, if I pretend to faint they'll have no choice but to send me to the hospital! Yeh that's it, I'll pretend to faint. Wait! But what if they don't do anything and leave me locked up in this room?!?!
" Hel-lo? Kinomoto we're still here." Syaoran said waving his hand in front of her face.
All of a sudden Sakura started bursting into tears, fake of course, but they didn't know that. Syaoran, a little shocked from this unexpected reaction turned to Eriol and grabbed him by the neck pulling him in.
" What the fuck am I suppose to do now? This was your freaking idea, if you hadn't of blackmailed me then she wouldn't be here right now." Syaoran whispered with rage to Eriol who was chuckling still. " I swear Eriol, if you don't do something I won't let go of your neck!"
" Alright alright haha." Pulling himself out of Syaoran's grip he straightened himself up and handed a small package to Syaoran. Sakura's eyes followed the small yellow envelope until finally it disappeared into Syaoran's pocket.
"Sakura, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. My deepest apologies. If the guys didn't blackmail me into this I never would have dragged you into something like this." His voice had changed from a dirty careless tone to a more thoughtful and softer tone. " Ooh and I was only joking about the join the gang thing, so relax."
" Umm.. yeh, that's ok. Can I go now?"
" Sure I'll show you out. Do you need a ride home, since I was the one who drove you here?" Syaoran stood and opened the door.
" No I think I'll be alrig…"
Lights from every corner flashed before Sakura's eyes. He sound of casino chips everywhere rung through her ears and the smell of smoke and loud music filled the room. Sakura rubbed her eyes and shook her head just checking if she was hallucinating or not, obviously not. Entertainers were performing, and heaps of people were at the tables waiting to win something.
It looked like a whole hive of bees waiting to get some honey.
" Uh, I guess I'll need that ride after all." She smiled weakly to the dancing women who passed by.
Syaoran smiled and took her hand before she even noticed. " This way." He dragged her through a back exit door. They came out into a car park still holding her hand Syaoran grabbed his car keys and unlocked his red convertible Porsche. He opened the door but noticed she slipped her hand away from his and stepped in the car.
In the car
The interior design of his car was extremely clean. From the corner of his eye, Syaoran could see Sakura checking out his toy.(the car)
" Nice huh? I got three others at my house." He said proudly.
She sighed. I'll probably never have a car like this even if I save up. " Yeh, your rich that's why." She mumbled,
" What was that?"
" Nothing" She said bluntly. " Rich spoiled kids like you don't know what it's like to have to work hard and earn your money." She looked away.
" Jealous of me being rich huh?" He laughed.
" No. Hating people like you who play around and do nothing yet still have tones of money flowing in for you to spend." She replied agitatedly.
" What's wrong with being rich? One day you could be like me, rich and owner of The Li Casinos all over the world, so what? Are you just gonna hate how successful you are?"
" No I won't. Because I'll be giving most of what I earn to people who actually need it. Example the starving kids in third world countries, the tsunami disasters, orphanages. It's called DONATING TO CHARITY, not spending it on expensive cars or clothes."
Syaoran started laughing out loud, which made Sakura furious and confused. He pulled into this huge driveway and stopped in front of the door. " Hey hold on a second okay, I just gotta sign some papers my uncle called me about earlier."
And he walked up to the doors and opened them. Sakura couldn't really see whom he was talking to but only saw a part of the man. But when he stepped forward giving some papers to Syaoran she caught a clear view at his face.
After Syaoran was finished he walked back to the car and drove off.
In the car (again)
" Wow, your house is beautiful." She awed at the view of his just front yard as they drove out.
" Yeh, we have like 50 spare rooms in the house its sooo creepy."
" W-well then what do you do with them?" Sakura asked, now interested in the topic.
" Well, that's a secret unless you come over, then I'll show you." He grinned. And she rolled her eyes.
" So you and your uncle do a lot of business huh?" She randomly brought out.
" Not really. I hate the business stuff. Since my parents passed away they left the company to me. But I didn't know how to manage it, and I couldn't be bothered to either. So my uncle helps me, he deals with all the business stuff, I just sign the papers."
" Oh, I see."
There were a few moments of silence before Syaoran started talking again.
" Sakura how old are you?" He asked before observing her properly.
" 18, why?" She asked,
" No reason. I'm only 20."
" Wow, so you've graduated and finished college and stuff?"
" Nope, I stopped when I reached year 12. I find school so boring."
Oh, typical, I should have guessed. Why go to school if your just gonna grow up being some…being you.
More moments of silence. The two didn't really know each other but it seemed that their conversation suggested otherwise.
Syaoran's POV
Why was uncle calling me so urgently to sign those papers, usually he would leave them to Wei to give me hmmm, I wonder
End POV.
Sakura's POV
What a wonderful day I had planned out gone wrong. All because of him. First he kidnaps me, then threatens me, then drives me home. I don't think I wanna know what he'll do next, i've definitely had enough for one day.sighs
End POV
The car was starting to slow down and finally stopped after a few sudden brakes. Smoke started coming out of the front engine and the car just terminated.
" Oh damn no, you've got to be kidding me." Syaoran cursed whacking his hand on the steering wheel. He got out of the car while Sakura sat still watching him approach the smoking hood of the car.
" Well, it's broken down. I don't understand, it was working fine yesterday." He said aloud while walking back to Sakura's side.
" Oh, yeh ummm. Just tell me where I am and I'll just walk home." She replied tired and carelessly.
Syaoran just let out a little laugh before pointing over to the sign which said Li Residents Ahead.
" WHAT THE HELL? We're still near your house, and its what time?" Since the sky was already dark and weather was cold she had every right to be angry.
" 8:30." He mumbled looking away. " WHAT? 8:30?" Syaoran walked a little closer and cautiously while Sakura just stood there looking around for directions.
The sky rumbled and then small droplets of water came down on them, followed by more and more drops. Syaoran felt he was to blame so he took off his jacket and covered Sakura with it.
" Look Sakura, my house is just up there so why don't you just stay there for the night and tomorrow I'll drive you home." He suggested.
" NO way, I'm not staying at your house, I'm not gonna let you drive me home and I'm not going to stand here arguing with you anymore! I'm going to walk home right now so bye!" She stomped off in the rain walking into the darkness leaving Syaoran standing there.
sighs " Sakura Kinomoto" He thought smiling. " I'll remember that name."
Li Mansion
A very soaked Syaoran steps into his mansion and walks up the stairs to his room.
Syaoran's POV
Well, I'm back home. I've had a nice shower so what's missing still?
Tired and sleepy Syaoran falls onto his bed and shuts his eyes.
5 hours later at 3:20am Syaoran wakes up and reaches his house telephone.
" Hello Wei? Sorry to bother you at this time, but I need you to do me a favour."
Next day
The sky was clear after a good night's rain. The streets remained wet but as the sun shone it quickly dried. The emerald beauty lay in her bed with the sheets almost falling off the side of the single bed.
BEEP BEEP BEEP rang her alarm clock in that usual irritating pattern.
No movement. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP CRASH! The sound of the alarm clock being wacked of the table by the human arm. Powerful and deadly when annoyed badly in the morning after a rough night.
" I'm up, I'm up." Sakuramumbled into her pillowto one in particular.
Sakura, still half asleep walked over to her cupboard and took out her uniform.
Walking to school
The streets were quiet with few people all heading in the same direction of the local Orphanage. With half an hour of spare time still Sakura decided to check out what was happening.
" Thank You all for being here today. I am proud to present this check of One Million Yen to the Tomoedo Orphanage." A man wearing a black suit and holding an enormous check said into the microphone.
" Thank You Mr Li. And we here at the orphanage are honoured to receive this generous donation." Another man replied cheerfully while shaking the hand of Mr Li for the press to take some photos.
Sakura had just walked into the crowd when it all happened. Looking up to see amber eyes.
Syaoran at the same time was also scanning his eyes through the crowd when they landed on a pair of emerald orbs. She's here? Perfect. He winked at Sakura but she just ignored him and started walking off.
" Mr Yukito, it was nice being here but I have some urgent business matters to attend to." Syaoran thought of quickly after seeing Sakura walk away.
" Very well then, we greatly appreciate what you have given these children here." The man said back as Syaoran started running off in Sakura's direction.
After running for what seemed like a very long time, Syaoran finally caught up to Sakura. Still huffing and puffing managed to say " Proud of me? I did what you wanted." He grinned while saying waiting to see her reaction.
" I'm happy that you did something…..useful." She smiled back and kept walking.
" I knew you would be." He said, now gasping for air like he was suffocating. He fell to his knees and almost fainted.
" OH MY GOD, Syaoran." Sakura immediatelyturnedto see him on the groundand put her arms around him to support him to sit up. " What's wrong with you? I mean, are you really that tired from running a few blocks?"
" I-I….it's not that." He laughed weakly.
" Then what is i.." She suddenly paused when she saw blood through his white shirt underneath his suit. " Y-your bleeding..really badly. Oh NO! what do I do,? Don't die on me Syaoran. I can't let you die. What the hell!?!?!"
" It's nothing….really" He tried to say out but the pain had weakened him too much
" I'm calling the ambulance. Hold on okay." She felt his hand tightening around hers.
" No! Not the ambulance, I have a family doctor. His number's on my phone, dial it." Were his last words before we fell unconscious.
Li Mansion
" Master Li? Master Li??" A man's voice asked softly. Syaoran slowly opened his eyes to see it was his doctor Haru. Looking around to find himself back in his own bed. " What happened?" Syaoran asked rubbing his eyes. He saw bandages around his chest and could still feel part of the pain.
" I received a call from a girl saying that you fainted so I drove out to get you back here. Who did this to you?" The doctor answered while checking his heartbeat and packing his stethoscope back in his pack.
" Nothing. No one did this. Umm where is she? The girl?"
" I'm not sure. After I helped you into my car I looked back and she was gone." He sighed. " She seemed very concerned about you." The doctor left the room and on his way out telling Syaoran not to leave this room until he had recovered.
Syaoran laid back down on his bed thinking about what just happened. I wonder where she went?
At school
Sakura attended Tomoedo College, with all her friends and all the 'other people'
" Tomoyo!" She yelled to the black haired and amethyst eyed girl up ahead.
" Sakura-chan!"
Sakura finally caught up to her and smiled. " Where were you yesterday? We were suppose to go to the library."
" Sorry, something just came up. But don't worry about it." Phew, made it just before school started. sighs I wonder how his doing?
A group of girl who had just walked passed them started giggling and whispering to each other. Then as they entered the building, Motoko, the school 'bitch' and her dumb slutty friends deliberately bumped hard into Sakura's shoulder.
" Watch it Motoko!"
" Ooh, sorry. Guess it's just your bad luck today, and this Saturday." She laughed and kept walking.
What's going on this Saturday? Sakura thought.
At home
" Quick dad, hide it! She'll be back any moment now!" Touya yelled as he tossed a pink envelope with hearts on it over to his dad, who caught it looking like it was a bomb about to explode.
" Don't give it to me!" He tossed back. " Quick Touya, just rip it up and put it in the bin!"
Touya immediately ran over to the kitchen bin but a step too late. The front door had opened. " Dad! Touya! I'm home!" the voice called out as it came closer to the kitchen.
At that moment Touya hid the envelope behind his back and looked around casually.
" Ah, Sakura your back," Fujitaka greeted trying not to be so nervous. While looking side to side over to Touya.
At this moment Sakura could feel something particularly unusual and looked to Touya.
" Well, I guess I'll just go to my roo.."" Freeze it right there Touya!" And he stood as still as ice.
" What's in your hand?"
" Nothing."
" Then hold them out." Sakura demanded, and held out her hand. Her brother sighed along with her father, which really got Sakura to think what was going on.
" Just be calm about it okay. Remain calm." He slowly hand the pink envelope and watched his sister open it up and start reading.
" Dear Sakura, you are invited to Kyo and Naoko's wedding held on the Saturday the 24th of November. See you there!" She read.
" Just forget about it Sakura. That baka Kyo left you 2 years ago and now he has the nerve to ask you to his wedding. Don't go." Touya took the envelope from her hand when he saw her facial expression of nothingness.
" Oh don't worry Touya. I'll go. Besides, it's his big day so I have to try and be happy for him." Even if I'm not the bride. She sighed and walked upstairs to her room.
I guess this was what Motoko was talking about before. And those girl were laughing about………Well if they want me to feel depressed and heart broken because my first love is going to marry one of my childhood friends, they better think again. I'll be at that wedding, and I'll show them.
She walked over to her closet and started looking for her deadly weapon. " Perfect." She grinned with a partly evil smile.
A/N: well? How was this chapter? Review and let me know.
Wonder what's going to happen at this wedding? Or what's this deadly weapon Sakura was talking about. Who's going to be at the wedding?
