TWO – The Lone Wolf

"Xiao Ling, hurry up you're going to be late!"

I groaned hearing my mother's voice. What is it anyway and why is she shouting this early in the morning?

"FUCK I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" I shouted, sitting upright from my king sized green bed. It was seven thirty! Class is at eight!

"Xiao Ling, I will not tolerate profanity! Get dressed, someone's waiting for you down here!" my mom said.

Oh great, my bedroom doors were wide open. Yeah doors, my room had double doors. She must've left it open after she tried to wake me up.

"Sorry mother." I said lazily and stood up, going to my bathroom...

Wait... who was waiting for me?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eriol.

Great.

"So you overslept? What time did you sleep last night Xiao Ling?" he asked, calmly as usual. I felt so tired. After we turned that last corner I felt like I was about to faint. At least we were near school and not really late. Thanks to all that rushing and the one minute record time breakfast.

"Dunno... two?" I said, yawning.

"What kept you up? We didn't have much homework." Eriol said.

He's evil. He can see right through me... the fucker.

"Couldn't sleep..." I said lazily wanting to end the discussion.

"Thinking about her?" he asked casually as if it's as normal as scratching when you have an itch.

"Whatever..." I muttered.

"Don't hide it. When are you going to tell her? We can't wait forever." He said.

I stopped walking. We were about a mere twenty feet from the gates of our school.

"We?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow.

Eriol smiled. It was fucking irritating.

"Just answer the question." He said. "Who else knows?" I asked back. "No one, only me and Tomoyo know about it." he said calmly. I wanted to hear him quiver for once... you know, feel that victorious (for me) fear in him. But right now, it seemed impossible.

"She kissed me..." I whispered.

Eriol leaned closer, "What was that?" he asked.

"She kissed me yesterday after I brought her home." I said a bit louder.

Eriol pulled back, a look of triumph in his face. "Well that's progress." He said rather sarcastically. I frowned, "Look, I can't force anything on her. She's too precious. Besides, I was supposed to take my car to school today, I ended up walking because of you!"

"You need it Syaoran... something to wake you up from your dreams about Sakura." He said and walked ahead of me, not totally leaving me behind. I looked at him, my eyes opening wider for the first time that day.

How'd he know I dreamt of Sakura?

Fuck his stupid magic.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Algebra...

Too easy... maybe I can just stare at Sakura.

She had her jacket off, her hair was up in a pony tail and her legs were crossed. She was still beautiful.

I sighed, leaning a bit further on my table staring at her. She was positioned diagonally in front of me, about two people in front of me to my right.

"If you don't stop doing that, everyone will notice." Daidouji's voice came.

I felt my cheeks go hot and I looked to my right. Tomoyo sat beside me. Eriol was beside Sakura. Weird...

"Uhm... I wasn't doing anything." I whispered. Tomoyo giggled, "Syaoran, it's alright. Sakura looks really pretty today so I can't blame you." She said and I looked to Sakura again.

My God she was very pretty today. She had this faint flush on her cheeks... her eyes were shining, her hair looked wonderful and her skin was more radiant... she was blooming... like a Cherry Blossom.

My little Cherry Blossom.

M-My...?

I heard Tomoyo giggle again and I looked at her. She smiled and passed me a note. I took it.

You're a cunning Wolf but you're just a puppy dog when it comes to the Cherry Blossom tree... don't be too much of a softie and just approach it, howling out loud. Don't be a lone Wolf howling for what he wants but doesn't do anything.

Your friend, Amethyst Gem

I looked at Tomoyo but she was copying down notes now. I sighed, wrote stuff down and then passed her the note.

A Wolf may be cunning, almost succeeding to get what he wants... but not even the light of the Amethyst Gem can help me find the correct path to the Cherry Blossom tree. She's too precious to be harmed by the Wolf anyway.

Signed, Wolf

Tomoyo looked at the note and wrote something down fast. She then shoved the note at me, almost forcefully. I was surprised a bit...

Who said the Wolf was a dangerous creature? It turned into a puppy dog. If the Cherry Blossom can do that then what's the harm in howling right beside her, telling her how much you want her?

It's not my light... it's yours, Amethyst Gem

I read it, stunned.

I wrote one last thing down...

I don't want the Cherry Blossom tree to wilt because of the Wolf... but I'll howl much as possible just to let her hear me... even if it's not right beside her.

Lone Wolf

I watched Tomoyo read it and she seemed pleased. She smiled at me and I smiled back. We often did that, passing notes and writing in codenames just in case someone saw it. Tomoyo thought it up and it seemed cool.

Sakura... my beautiful Cherry Blossom...

I love you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow, I'm having trouble with this problem..." Sakura said, leaning over her notebook. She was solving out math homework during lunch... how very... Sakura.

I sat across her with Eriol beside me and Tomoyo right beside her. We were in a bench outdoors eating our lunch.

Tomoyo leaned in and looked at it, "Just do the FOIL method for the binomials and you'll get it." she said and took a bite off her sandwich. I saw Sakura blush, "Oh right, I forgot about that!" she said and started to write.

Oh my God she was so adorable.

I felt Eriol jab me in the ribs lightly making me snap back into reality.

I was staring at Sakura again.

"Oh sorry." I muttered. Both Tomoyo and Sakura looked at me. "What is it Syaoran? What are you sorry for?" Sakura asked, smiling. I felt faint.

"Uhm... I..." I muttered, "He accidentally stepped on my foot. No problem." Eriol said. I looked at him and he smiled and continued to eat. I gave a little smile. Even if he was so fucking irritating, he managed to save my butt most of the time. I was thankful for that anyway.

I saw Tomoyo giggle and she went back to eating as well. I looked at Sakura...

Sakura...

She was scribbling on her notebook and she was biting her lower lip. She always did that when she was serious about something... I like that... made her look more attractive.

"Hey Syaoran, can you help me with this trinomial?" she asked, bringing her notebook to my face and she used her pen to point at the problem. She wasn't looking at me, at her notebook... which gave me a chance not to take my eyes off her.

"Uhm... yeah sure..." I said, still not taking my eyes off her and I took her notebook. She leaned over the table towards me when I started to write.

Dammit I can't concentrate with her sweet green tea scent fogging my senses... I can't see the numbers and the variables… she was my vision... I can't write properly on her notebook... I was quivering... hopefully she didn't notice.

"Uhm... here... multiply these two first then these next and so on. After that, you can combine the similar terms then you'll get the answer. Just be careful in multiplying and... uhm... putting the terms together..." I muttered, staring at her emerald orbs.

She smiled, staring back into my auburn eyes, "Thanks Syaoran-kun. I'll remember that." She said. She seemed to be in a daze like I was and she slowly took her notebook, still staring at me, making me swallow hard and for the first time in I don't know how long, I felt my Adam's apple move nervously...

She sat back down, getting her pen and she started to solve. I watched her...

She was beautiful.

"Don't worry, just relax... if you get too nervous around her, Sakura will worry..." Eriol managed to say through my head.

Like I said before...

Fuck-his-STUPID-powers.
