Chapter 14: Rain and Fury
'Why was I surprised in the first place, anyways?'
Sakura was walking alone in a town a little bit afar from the playground that night. 'I knew he lived in Hong Kong.' Thoughts were swimming in her head nonstop. No, she really doesn't know what to think about. It really doesn't matter what pops in her mind. 'Yeah… So maybe I wasn't the only one who noticed he has good looks… And accurately, a lot of girls in my school have a crush on him… But…' She kept a big frown the whole time she was walking and she doesn't recognize what time it is. Actually, it's about 10:20pm in the evening. She hasn't taken lunch and dinner yet. Poor Sakura. 'He? Having a fiancé? It's only been a little less than a month since we got separated and he already has a fiancé?
I totally don't dig that…No way…'
She kept her hands in her pocket. She kept her glance at the ground, not really minding where she is heading or who she bumps into.
Then unfortunately, it started to rain…
"Great." She mumbled sarcastically in her walk. "Just great."
…………………………………………………… Where Syaoran is
"Sakuraaaa!" he yelled in the night. It was raining hard and he really is a lot worried about her. He ran and ran wherever his feet take him to.
"SakuraaAA!" he yelled again. He gripped tighter on his umbrella. His amber eyes serious and wide; searching for its precious emerald ones. He's been into a lot of places for way leads to way and at this state, he's in a place who knows where..?
"SAKURAAAA!" he yelled louder. He tried at the top of his lungs. Who knows where she is? No one could help him now. He's been running for quite a while now and he gotten a lot worried. He let go of the umbrella that's been keeping him dry.
Now, he runs under the unfortunate rain in a place where he doesn't familiarize much. Who knows what could happen to him there? But that doesn't matter. Where is she? That's the only thing in his head.
"SAKURAAAA!" he called again for her like for so many times already. After a couple of minutes of running under the rain, he's totally soaked now. "Huff puff" he breathed hard. He's been tired for all that running until he saw a short girl walking alone. She was looking at the ground as if she doesn't know it was raining.
He ran off to her. "Sakura..!" he placed his right hand on her left shoulder. The auburn-haired girl looked up to him. She was wearing a very sad frown and her tears aren't obvious because her face is wet because of the rain. But he knows she's been crying… Why? Is it because she was always a crybaby? Nah… Her eyes are slightly red.
"C'mon, let's go home." He told her.
She opened her mouth to speak and a tiny sweet voice came out, "we don't live together anymore."
After a tiring run, he finally smiled, "of course I know that."
"Then… Then goodbye!" she bellowed. "I'm going home!"
"Just don't be a spoiled brat now!" he exclaimed at her.
In a funny way, she brightened a bit by hearing him call her 'spoiled brat'. Being teased by him was irritating…but also fun. She didn't speak up anymore. She just watched him yap thru his cell phone.
And after for a couple of minutes, a black car stopped beside them and Syaoran opened its door and let Sakura in.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked after the car started to drive off.
"Home." He simply said.
She felt that she doesn't wanna be taken in just like that. But she felt very weak and somehow unable to speak and argue. She just kept her mouth shut while her eyes are starting to get droopy.
Pretty soon, Sakura found her self standing next to Syaoran in a green room – his bedroom. "Syaoran!" she screamed in fury. She really doesn't know why she felt like wringing his neck, but probably because he has a fiancé and she doesn't really approve that.
"What?" he simply asked her as he comes out of his bathroom. "Your bath is ready." … Before she could give him her yells, she suddenly felt comfy with him giving her a bath.
"Come this way." He told her as he slightly waves his hand at her. … She walked over to him like she forgot all her fury. … He held her hand; "I'll just get some dry clothes for you." … She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She felt dizzy and her eyes got obviously droopy. She lost balance and fell to him.
His eyes widened, how could he forget? "Sakura..!" he whispered to her ear. He really doesn't wanna scream or yell at the moment. It's late and only a few people in his mansion know that he had brought a girl in his room. What if his mother finds that out? But that doesn't matter much at the moment. She passed out again, what would he do now? Lay her on the bed? 'No, not now! She is soaked in rain, she'll just get sick if she goes to sleep wearing her wet clothes.'
He carried her bridal style. He walked over to the filled bathtub. He let her sit at the edge of the tub. He dipped his fingers in the tub. "Warm enough…" he whispered. He made secure that her sitting position is safe enough so she won't fall. The bathroom wall rests her back. He took off her shoes.
He gulped. 'I'm her boyfriend… Am I right?' he asked him self. 'She told me she loved me and I answered her that I also love her… So… I'm her boyfriend.' Then he paused. 'But I'm engaged to somebody else…' He shook his head and told himself, "I love her, that's all there is."
He gulped again and took off her clothes. He blushed all the way but he didn't remove her undies. "I'm sure she'll get mad if I do that, ehehehehe…" He placed her whole body in the tub filled with warm water.
He didn't know what to think or what to do. He just watched her.
Slowly, she opened her eyes. "Syao?" she weakly uttered.
"I'm here..!" he whispery snapped and took hold of her hand.
She frowned again. "Wah…" she mumbled. "I passed out again."
He worriedly smirked, "of course. It's a cold rainy night, you'll surely pass out."
"…I know." She looked down. "I really need someone to look out for me…"
"I will!" he snapped. … She looked at him with sad eyes then looked down again.
At that, the both of them knew what she meant- he can't look after her…He is engaged to some other girl.
"W-well… Let's just t-talk about that s-some other time…" he said while slightly stuttering. "I'll just take a bath at another bathroom."
…………………………………………………… After 20 minutes
The both of them are now in Syaoran's room and with tummies full. The lights were out, except for the lamp beside the bed. They are both seated on the bed, wearing fresh clothes.
"I'm exhausted!" he blurted and laid his back on the bed while turning off the lamp.
She was still on a sitting position, "Syaoran…" she uttered.
"Yep?" he asked with his eyes closed.
She finally laid beside him while saying, "you took off my clothes, didn't you..?"
He suddenly opened his eyes. He blushed a lot. "Y-yeah… W-why?"
"N-nothing…" she uttered. "I just got a little embarrassed." Then she buried her head in his chest.
He put the blanket on them. "Don't be." He said. "I'm your boyfriend, right?" he added.
She lifted her head, "you are?"
"I answered 'I love you, too.' Right?"
"Y-yeah… Y-you did." She slightly smiled. But both of them couldn't see their facial expressions for it is dark in there.
"W-well Sakura… I guess you should rest now. I'll wake you up at 4am." He told her while rubbing her back.
"Why so early?" she asked him with a confused tone.
"Well… I really don't want my mum to know that I brought a girl in my room… So I guess, it would be better if we get out of the house before everybody wakes up." He explained.
"Oh… I see… But what about the maids?"
"Don't worry about them… They won't put me into trouble…" he smiled.
She got a bit happier having him by her side. She rested her head on his chest and drifted off to sleep. It was a comfy sleep and good thing Syaoran doesn't snore.
A/N: (wink wink)
…………………………………………………
"Sakura.." he whispered. "Sakura..!" he whispered louder.
"H-huh?" she slowly opened her eyes. She came to meet a pair of amber ones. "Syao?"
"C'mon! We have to go..!"
"R-right..!" she mumbled and put up a lot of effort to get up.
Before they knew it, they found themselves walking at the Li Mansion's front garden. "…Thanks." She whispered to him.
He raised his eyebrow then turned to her. "Huh? What for?"
"For looking after me…" she said.
"Oh..? Ehehe? That's nothing… You really need someone to look after you. And you need me!" he exclaimed while pointing a finger at himself.
The both of them were smiling all the way until they reached the sidewalk in front of the Li Mansion.
"What the hell's going on here?" a female boast voice was heard beside them.
The both of them, at the same time, looked to see who was the speaker. "What are you doing here?" Syaoran told her with a polite irritated voice.
"Well! My fiancé!" she cried out. "I came by early to your house to wake you up and serve your breakfast!" she added in ejaculation.
"Is that necessary?" Syaoran replied in sarcasm but he kept his tone low.
"Whatever!" she rolled her eyes. She neared the couple and quickly grabbed Sakura's right wrist. "What the heck is your business here?"
"HEY! Let go off me!" came out a tiny cry.
"What? Gonna tell your mommy?" she gripped tighter on her wrist.
"Let go of her, Kioku!" he shouted then pulled out her grip on Sakura.
Kioku's eyes widened and said, "You're my fiancé! You should be with me! Not her!" … Syaoran sighed as he looked to the ground. … Then she had a sobbing tone, "and I find you walking around holding hands with another woman!"
He felt sort of guilty for having two women in his life at the moment. He told his mum that he won't fail her, and now he walks around the street so early in the morning having another girl with him. He is a player… not really. He's just lost in a messy situation.
"Well? What are you gonna say for your self?" Kioku eyed him.
"…" He kept silent first then said, "I'm just gonna take Sakura home…"
"No! I don't allow you!" she snapped. "If you do, Li Yelan will know about this!"
His eyebrows made a negative angle, he sighed hard, thinking of what to do. He looked at Sakura's face. At that, Sakura whispered to him, "I hate you." Then she ran away.
Uh oh.
Poor Syaoran.
