Well, well, well. Look who it is. It's the horrible author who hadn't updated for AGES! Lemme explain in two words: WRITERS BLOCK! Argh, it's the most horrible thing in the world. My case was particularly bad; I didn't have any inspirations for anything remotely creative. Then, I was on msn, then this poem just flew out, and I was cured! –Shakes fist in triumph- oh, it also helped that Esther kept in threatening me on msn and giving looks at school. Lol, Tomoyo's character in this particular chapter is a rebirth of Esther. Tee hee. SUFFER!
Syaoran woke up, he's head banging, his mind nagging. He groaned and was about lift his arm to his head when he noticed a particular someone with light auburn hair lying beside him, his hand around her waist. He's eyes widened as he saw Sakura lying against his chest. He smiled and brushed her hair out of her face.
He slowly unwrapped her from him and got out of bed. He sat back down again in the chair as he's mind went into a daze. 'Hangover. What did I tell you Syaoran Li? I told you not to drink so much. Did you listen? Nooo. No you have me to pay the price for.'
"Stupid conscience." He muttered darkly before getting up and walking groggily to the bathroom. He stumbled in, and peeled off his clothing. He stepped into his shower, letting the heavy drops of warm water fall onto his back. He frowned as he leant his head against the wall tiles and sighed.
'What did I do last night?' he closed his eyes tightly in concentration as brief images flashed into his head.
Dancing, jealousy
Drinking, jealousy
Watching, jealousy,
Fighting, jealousy
He rubbed his head, sighing furtively. He breathed in deeply and exhaled again. He raked his mind more, agonizing it, and kept his eyes tightly shut.
Talking to a wall… (?)
Being led to a car
Singing
Laughing
Tackling (?)
He smirked to himself. "If only the world could only see the famous Li Clan Heir last night."
'Wasted. Hmmm, Maybe Sakura brought me home. Yeah, she probably did. Who else? I had a weird, but nice dream yesterday as well.' He sighed when he remembered his dream and smiled. 'I said I loved her. It felt real when I dreamt that. What did Cosmo say about interpreting dreams again?'
He was thinking about Cosmo magazine when he heard a loud, distinctive…
"HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE"
He scoffed out loud when he heard Sakura's voice. He heard her bustling about, practically shouting.
"Syaoran Li! Why didn't you wake me up! We have SCHOOL! What the hell is happening?" She banged on the bathroom door. "HURRY UP!" She yelled. "I have to brush my teeth! HOE! ITS 9:00 AM! HOE! SYAORAN LI! WHEN I GET IN THERE I'M GONNA, GON-NA, go-uh-na…"
She was broken off when he stepped outside, with only a towel on. She swallowed loudly and blushed harder then red.
'NOOOOOO! Sakura Kinomoto! You will not blush! No way! Don't blush! Don't stutter, don't murmur, stay cool, and don't blush!'
"Eto…" she blushed even harder, if that was possible...'Well so much for not blushing. Baka Sakura, baka sakura!'
"Sakura. Breath." Syaoran put his hands on her shoulder. "Relax. Today is Sunday. Don't panic." He let go of her shoulders and said, "You yell pretty loud, baka."
Sakura looked up at him and her breathing became ragged. "What, Syaoran LI" She huffed. "Did you call me?"
Syaoran grinned at her and said, "Sakura, if you haven't noticed, I'm semi naked, so would you please step aside and let me put my clothes on." He decided this was the quickest and easiest way to get out of the situation. He pushed past her and grabbed his clothes and went back in the bathroom.
Sakura blushed again and just looked sheepish.
Sakura and Syaoran were sitting around the table, sipping their daily coffees.
"And then, he say's sleep can make you de-tox, stupid Takashi." Syaoran muttered and looked into his coffee cup.
"Ha, I always knew he was a weird one, I think Chiharu has a bit of a thing for him though. Tomoyo said the other day…"
BANG! The door slammed open and Syaoran went to see who it was. For someone who was whole five inches shorter then him, she intimidated him a lot. What was more; she was only wearing her pajamas, loose purple corduroy pants, and a white loose tee shirt with a picture of a sheep on it.
"T-tomoyo, ehehe, hi? I mean, O-ohayo gozaimasu?" Syaoran rubbed his neck nervously.
Tomoyo went dot eyed. "You stupid gaki. I know she's here." She growled fiercely and pushed past him.
Eriol leaned in and said to Syaoran, "Uh, gomen pal, she's almost as bad as Touya, ne?"
He followed he's girlfriend in and just watched the scenario unfolding before him.
Poor Syaoran didn't know what he was in for and grinned weakly. Tomoyo's eye's snapped back to him, a wave of chilling fury rang all around the room, emitting from Tomoyo.
"Well, Tomoyo, lemme explain…" he gulped loudly.
"You think I'm dumb? You baka, how dare you go around, destroying Sakura's purity like this! Outrageous!" Tomoyo hollered. Everyone had to clap their hands to their ears, to keep their ear drums intact.
"Tomoyo, we didn't do anything, I promise. She was just sleeping in my bed, that's it!" He tried to reason with the slowly turning purple girl. Bad sign.
"OH MY DEAR GOD!" She yelled once again. "SO YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER! YOU GROPED HER IN YOUR BED! YOU'RE SICK! EVIL! TWISTED! WRONG…"
"What! No-Tomoyo, listen, I don't even remembered what I did last night! I was drunk, wasted! I can't remember a thing." Syaoran stopped, his eyes wide open as he saw Tomoyo slowly advancing towards her.
"Um, let's not get so angry about this, ok? What I meant was…" Syaoran took a step back and realized this just made the situation worse. 'Oh, help. Crazy woman, Eriol's going out with her, why?'
Eriol lunged forward, seeing the look in his girlfriend's eyes. He kept a firm pull on her waist as she tried to wring forwards. He clung firmly to her as she groped the air, trying to strangle Syaoran.
"You, let-me-go" she groaned and continued flailing her arms about, trying to hurt Syaoran as much as possible without being reported, charged and arrested for abuse.
Several minutes later, Syaoran and Eriol placed themselves on the couch, nursing their bruises. A nosebleed, broken toe, bruises on the shins, fractured jaws were just some of the many injuries they had due to a woman shorter then both of them. They watched in disbelief and silence, their mouths hanging wide open, as they saw the same psycho, unholy, terrifying beast laughing and sipping coffee with Sakura. Eriol was gazing momentarily, wondering why the hell he was dating such a violent woman. Then he thought it was her feisty side that attracted to her to him so much. He told Syaoran this and he just grumbled about not being able to drink his own damn coffee in his house.
Sakura turned to Syaoran. "Hey, Syaoran, where are your parents?"
"Them? Or, they went to check out a business branch in England somewhere…"
"-did someone say England? Ahhh, England, how I miss England." Eriol cut in. He had the similar stars in his eyes that Tomoyo was so well renown for. Caution.
"Then why don't you go back then?" Said a very irritable Syaoran.
"Because, baka," Eriol said. "I wouldn't be here to annoy you everyday, Little Wolf."
"Exactly my point. Eriol, you're so annoying." Syaoran. "And I am NOT little wolf, so stop with the pet names."
'I don't hate Eriol. But he's just like Tomoyo, and if you put those together, it would be like lighting fire to a deodorant can, or in other words, a disaster just waiting to happen."
Sakura POV
So, I woke up, bright and early for school. This sure isn't me. Why did I wake up early today? Because today was Kiko's party. Yea, yeah, I know what your thinking, why go to her party, she's a total slut, yeah, in a sense, but she is still human.
I'm still confused about Syaoran though. It's unbelievable how much we know about each other now. This much I don't want to know about him though…
Flashback:
Syaoran: "So, so, who do you have a crush on?" He giggled, his dimples showing.
Sakura, not wanting to spill the beans just yet just said,
Sakura: "Secret."
Syaoran: His heart slightly fell and he frowned. "I bet it's the Yukito dude!"
Sakura, wanting to change the subject, instantly nodded crazily.
Sakura: "Yup-uh- your right! So who have you got your eye on?" Sakura waited eagerly for his reply.
Syaoran: He didn't want to seem like he didn't like anyone, so he said, "Weeell, I kind of like Kiko, I think she's nice and pretty." He continued lying though his teeth. "And she's smart, talented, beautiful, funny, cute, and," he continued to describe Sakura as Kiko, "has the most amazing set of emerald eyes ever."
Sakura: "Eto, Syaoran, Kiko has brown eyes." She threw her hands up in the air as in to emphasize her point. She was silently fuming. She was hurt. "I'm the only bloody person in the bloody school who has emerald eyes. That's why I'm probably the school outcast."
Syaoran: He gazed at her intently. He slowly leaned in and whispered, "I like you as the outcast, gives you an edge that no other girl has…"
Sakura: She kept on gazing in his amazingly amber eyes. Those golden specs in his eyes were shining like they had never shined before, just for her. She hastily leaned back and pressed a question on to him, one where she had to get the answer. "How are you going to get her?"
Syaoran: 'She doesn't like me. This is it. Just continue with the gay Kiko charade Syaoran and run away again.' "Uh, this is where I need you to help me…"
End flashback
I thought he wasn't serious at first, but surprisingly I did it for him. Why? I have absolutely no idea.
So now here I am at school, in my stupid math's class, waiting for Syaoran after school.
End POV
At Lunch:
"Sakura! Sakura!" Syaoran waved to Sakura to show where he was sitting. "Over here!"
Sakura smiled and sat next to him. She winced when she sat down. Syaoran studied her and frowned in worry when she winced, something was causing her pain. Sakura suddenly shot up again and said to Syaoran, "I'm sorry, I have to go see Tomoyo now, I'm really sorry Syaoran."
Syaoran smiled back and got back. "Don't be." He followed her, always being watched by the girls and being glared at by the guys. Sakura bit her lip, how was she gonna explain cramps? She continued walking and clutched her stomach again in pain. She finally saw Tomoyo and tried to run up to her.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo looked at Sakura worriedly and looked at Syaoran and glared at him. "You didn't do anything to her, did you gaki?"
"No, Tomoyo, he did nothing" said Sakura, as she leaned in and whispered. "I need some panadol; I've got 'stomach' cramps." Sakura almost doubled over in pain again. 'crap' said a voice in her head.
Tomoyo looked sadly at her. "I'm sorry, I've run out. Why don't you ask Li, to take you home and rest, ok Saku?" She smiled for the first time at Syaoran. Who looked scared at first of this gesture of kindness, but then relaxed. "No problem." He smiled at Sakura.
They walked into Sakura's house, and he settled her onto the couch. "I'm just going to go to the bathroom, don't move, I'll be right back, ok Sakura?" She nodded.
When Syaoran went to the bathroom, Sakura went up and got herself a glass of water. As she got the glass, she really did this time double over in pain. The glass shot from her hands and fell to the ground. It obviously broke and made a big CRASH!
Syaoran came out when he heard the crash. He immediately ran to the living room, after not seeing Sakura there anymore, he ran to the kitchen. He's eyes were enflamed with worry and concern (A/N even though he doesn't realize it…baka…) he rushed over to help her.
He picked her up bridal style, his amber orbs avoiding her emerald crystals. He lay her down and silently went to get the cotton balls, some bandages and paradima, after seeing the cuts she had on her legs.
He came back and started to treat those cuts. "This isn't going to hurt a bit, ok Sakura?" He whispered so softly to her. She nodded, trusting him. He started blushing as he moved further up her thigh, bandaging the cuts. How he longed to be the bandage. (A/N: 0.o anyone else found that a tad weird?)
She just turned on the television while he worked; she was furiously blushing as well. She was laughing out loud (A/N: lol-ing?) to Nickelodeon. She eventually fell asleep. She had been asleep for an hour when Syaoran kissed her forehead and went out. He walked up the local pharmacy. He was a bit embarrassed at first, but he was grateful there was a lady behind the counter.
He walked up to the counter and looked down at his shoes then up again.
Syaoran POV:
"Hello, how may I help you?" she asked me.
I laid down some aspirin and other 'feminine' things that I knew Sakura would need. I'm not stupid. I can tell when it's 'that time of month.'
"Just theses thanks." She smiled. She was an old lady, probably someone who saw teenagers come in everyday, probably mostly girls, getting…tampons and things. I shuddered at the word...ew.
"It's, it's for my girlfriend!" I blurted out stupidly. Now I know why Tomoyo called me Baka half the time.
"yeah, don't worry. I think it's really sweet your getting these things for your, what is she?" She asked. This old lady seemed harmless enough.
"Um" I didn't know what to say. SO I just changed the subject. "She doesn't know I'm getting them for her…"
"Really? That's even sweeter, getting personal care items for your girlfriend." She smiled at me. This old lady wasn't so bad after all…
Girlfriend…girlfriend, I liked the sound of that. "Yeah, yeah, my girlfriend."
"There should be more young men like you around. Have you tried giving her chocolate?"
Chocolate? Was chocolate some kind of unheard of revolutionized painkiller of period pain I hadn't heard of? "Chocolate? Why?"
"Oh, believe me, it works, you'll see how relieved she'll be." So of course I took on her advice and grabbed three of each chocolate, and some of Sakura's favorite lollies. I placed them on the counter.
"OK, that'll be $17.90. Cash or credit" The old lady asked.
"Cash." I handed her $20. "Keep the change. Bye, thanks." I walked out the store and returned back to Sakura's house.
She was bent over double when I reached her house. I knew it, I absolutely knew it. "Here, I got you something's." I felt a red blush creep up my neck. "Uh, do you want that aspirin? Yes, I'll get you that aspirin, ok, let's get you aspirin. I'm going to get you aspirin now. OK." I hope I didn't sound as nervous as I sounded to myself.
I handed her the water and two tablets when she swallowed them and faced me. I started to blush again. Why was I blushing all of a sudden? Then suddenly, she hugged me. I couldn't help but smile. It was a big smile, and of course I hugged her back. Wow, when you hug Sakura, it feels like a thousands waves in your stomach, mind, heart, soul, everywhere.
"Thanks, Syaoran. Oh, and thanks for the chocolate too, It always makes a girl feel better on this time of the month." She smiled at me. I got more butterflies in my stomach as she smiled. I want to see that smile everyday, every hour, every minute. I'd hate it too see her cry. I'd absolutely hate the person who'd make her cry as well.
"Don't worry about thanking me. It's the least I could do, and the next time you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, coz I'm always here Sakura."
Then we both smiled at each other and turned on the television and happily watched MTV together.
Was I falling in love with Sakura? Or is the question, have I always liked her? Or is it just a crush?
I brushed those questions aside as I just sighed happily while she rested her head on my shoulder. I extracted another chocolate from the box and munched on it, just happy to be in her company.
Danni: You baka Syaoran, why didn't you tell her? Baka! Kiko plan? I'm gonna have to write about that now, thanks a bunch -is phissed-
