Chapter 4 – Facing You
"Are you sure you want to do this so soon Sakura?" Ryuka asked concerned. "Yeh, I have to do this. Hahaha, you know, to show, ummm…..initiative….and stuff." Sakura replied nervously. "Riiiight." Kimura retorted sarcastically. "Yes! I do too!" Sakura yelled back. Kimura and Mihara rolled their eyes. "Aish. Some friends you are." Sakura mocked hurt.
"C'mon Sakura, honestly if you don't want to do this, we could always murder Syaoran for you." Mihara suggested light heartedly. "NOOOO!!!!!!!!" "I'll give you a lift Sakura." Kimura offered. "I'll walk, it's ok." Sakura turned Kimura down gently.
"What are you cuckoo? With all the bums and weirdoes out on the streets of Tokyo I don't think you should be going anywhere without this handgun." Kimura handed a gun to Sakura. "Ano…thanks but no thanks." Sakura insisted. "Then you have to let me give you a lift." "Fine." Sakura replied stubbornly.
Oshinawa Mansion
"Thanks Kim, I'll call you later. Bye!" "No problem." Kimura coolly replied, speeding off. Sakura slowly walked up to the huge gate of the mansion breathing deeply. She was wearing a simple pink dress, white thongs (flip flops). Her hair just fell down in locks and she had NO makeup on.
Sakura rung the doorbell nervously. Should I run or should I stay? Argh! Oh my god what if he doesn't remember me? What if he tells me to leave? I can't believe I'm going to do this. An old man opened the door. "Yes miss? May I help you?" Wei the butler asked. "Ano…ano…I uhh- is umm….Sy-sy-Syaoran here?" "Yes. Master Syaoran is here. What is your name? I shall go inform him." Wei asked politely, gesturing for Sakura to come in.
"Just tell him that I'm a very old friend of his please." Sakura replied warmly bowing. "Ok miss, just take a seat or look around." And Wei left. "Wow." Sakura whispered in aw. The living room was very stylish, in an Italian sort of design. "Who is it Wei?" A familiar voice asked as he walked over to the feminine figure. Sakura turned around hesitantly and faced the one, the only, (DRUM ROLL) Syaoran!
"Sakura? Is-is that you?" Syaoran asked unbelievably. Sakura nodded weakly. "Yeh, it's me Syaoran." Sakura smiled fakely. The next thing Sakura knew, she was hugging Syaoran and crying on his shoulder. "What's up Sakura? Long time no see." Syaoran whispered. "It's so good to see you! Where's Mei?" It just managed to slip out of Sakura's mouth.
"You know about Mei?" Syaoran asked sadly, frowning. "Umm…yeh, Kim and Ryu told me." Sakura lied. "Oh." "So how's life been for you Syao-kun?" Sakura changed the subject. "Oh it's been great actually, had the best time. What about you?" "Oh yeh same, I've had so much fun."
NOT! Oh by the way Syaoran, I've had a miserable time, I'm living on the streets and you broke my heart without knowing it. Yeh! Everything's just dandy. Sakura sarcastically added, mentally. "Sounds great…so ummm……we have a lot to catch up on, so umm…..you wanna go have lunch?"
"What about Mei?" Me and my big mouth. "Oh umm…she's off somewhere in Europe, business trip and stuff." Syaoran replied carelessly. "hahahaha. You're the same Syaoran I met years ago. Not a care in the world." "I missed you loads Syaoran…I was so afraid that you would have forgotten me after all these years." Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly once again. The pain crushes my heart.
"Never Sakura…you know I would never forget such a special person…never…"
It sounds like he still cares for me…but then again, he probably just feels guilty for ditching me and running off with some other more capable woman. Why do you make me feel this way Syaoran? You've always made me feel things that I didn't want to feel. I never wanted to feel pain and up until the day I met you, I never wanted to feel your love. But now that I'm without your love, I've never wanted it more than I do now…….
Night time
"Wow, I had a great time Syaoran. Arigatou." Sakura. "Don't thank me just yet, I want you to get up there and sing." Syaoran pointed to the karaoke stage. "No, no, no, no, no. Please don't make me!" Sakura begged. "Pwease Sakuwa. Just for me. Your best friend…pwease." Syaoran begged in a cute voice. "Fine, fine…" Sakura gave up exasperated. "Stupid puppy dog eyes." Sakura muttered under her breath. "What was that?" "Nothing."
"Next up please." The DJ commanded. "Hey there, what song would you like to sing?" The DJ asked eyeing Sakura. "Tippy Toe by Utada Hikaru please." Sakura smiled brightly. "Ok then….can I have your number then?" The DJ wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. Sakura giggled. "No, unless you want my gangster friends to beat you up." Sakura threatened cheerfully. Scary chick. The DJ thought.
"Be afraid…very afraid. MWHAHAhAHAHA." Sakura laughed freaking out the DJ. Syaoran heard cackling and the first person to come to his mind was Sakura. The music played.
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
What a perfect life they think you've got, right?
Problems kept inside, look neat and organized
What you need in life is some wonder
A new friend with visions like you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe (Just imagine)
My body under your body
Here we go everybody, 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
When the thrill subsides, will you still be mine?
Worry infiltrates my head till I kill it
I fill it instead with improper visions of you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe
Nobody has to know, body screaming MORE
On your mark set 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (ooh)
That was filled with so much passion, I wonder if I'm the cause for it. It's like she's telling my life story…not only mine, but hers as well. Syaoran thought sadly.
Sakura walked over to Syaoran and smiled. "Did I do good?" Sakura asked like a little girl. "Yeh you did great." Syaoran smiled back. Then a man walked over. "I loved your voice Miss…?" "ERIOL?" "Eriol? That's my name too, how funny." "ERIOL?" Syaoran yelled too. "Syaoran? Sakura?"
"Gosh! It's great to see you all again!" Eriol chirped. "Oh there's some other people here, they saw you perform and insisted I come over here." "Huh?" "I'm the vice president of Sony Music in Japan." Eriol stated proudly. "Tomoyo, Jennifer! Over here!" Eriol waved to two girls. "SAKURA! SYAORAN!" Tomoyo and Jennifer screamed in unison. "It's great to see you too!" Sakura ran to them and hugged.
While Sakura, Jennifer and Tomoyo were catching up, Eriol and Syaoran had a man to man talk. "So Syaoran, Sakura came back." "Yep, she came back and found me. She said Kim and Ryu told her about Mei and the 'engagement'." Syaoran frowned taking a sip from his beer. "Don't worry, everything will go to plan and you'll be able to tell her the truth."
"But the truth sucks ass. Like seriously I don't think she'll ever forgive me once she finds out…" "Have hope Syaoran, don't give up on friendship so easily." Eriol emphasized the friendship word.
An hour later
"G'night Tomoyo. G'night Jennifer. G'nite Eriol." Sakura and Syaoran bowed in unison. "Remember Sakura, just call me on that number and I'll see what I can do for your FUTURE singing career." "Aite, ja ne Eriol-kun." "So Sakura, where do you live? I'll take you home." Syaoran asked as he opened the door for Sakura.
It was a sleek silver Mercedes Benz. "Erm…no it's okay Syaoran, I'll just walk." Sakura waved her hands to signal NO. "What are you cuckoo? With all the bums and weirdoes out on the streets of Tokyo I don't think you should be going anywhere." Syaoran said firmly.
"Woah Syaoran, I had the exact same lecture from Kim this morning. Seems a little rehearsed to me." Sakura pretended to be suspicious. Shit! "Ahahahaha. Yeh right Sakura, that's too coincidental." Syaoran nervously spoke. "Umm…Syaoran? Are you okay? You look a little pale, was it something I said?" "No not at all. C'mon I'm not letting you walk by yourself, and if you refuse then I'll either just walk with you in this freezing weather or pick you up and stuff you into the car. Your choice."
Memo to self: Kill Kimura. Syaoran thought annoyed.
"Fine just take me to KMR mansion." Sakura gave up once again. "You live with them?" Syaoran asked concentrating on the road. "Uhuh, I guess you could say that."
Memo to self: Ask Ryu a list of questions.
"So here we are." "Yep, here we are Syaoran." "Well." "Uhuh." "Good." "Fine with me." "Night night." "You too." "Bye." They spoke in unison.
Memo to self: Ask Mihara to have a girl talk with Sakura.
"You'll find out soon enough Sakura….soon enough, it's all for the best…" Syaoran whispered and sped off in his Mercedes.
How was that chapter? I've made this quick chapter cos I couldn't upd8 cos the server was down, I had nothing to do, so I did chapter 4 as well. Anyways, how was that? Tell me with a review.
You're probably confused at Syaoran's behaviour and are asking a lot of questions. MWHAHAHA! Thanks for the reviews, I'll try to upd8 soon.
