4th Chapie

"Thanks to Meilin"

Sakura's eyes widened, tears running down from both of them but before Syaoran could utter a word she ran off…………she ran as fast as she could……… trying to keep as much distance from him as possible.

Syaoran stood there, a sharp pain was rising on his chest he didn't know what to do. Then he pushed back Kyoko who was still blabbering about how rude it was of Sakura to run away like that, and he started to run after Sakura. No matter what happens I need to tell her the truth, I need to tell her how I truly feel. He thought.

Sakura ran like she had never run before and right on cue it started to rain. How could I let myself be so blind? I can't believe how stupid I was! I just met him and I fell in love…not even bothering to know about him at all!!! BANG……she had collided with someone and fell down on the pavement.

"Hey are you okay?" said a girl's voice.

"Sakura!!" she can hear Syaoran calling from behind but the voice seemed far away.

"Hide me!!" she whispered to the stranger who was now bending over her. Sakura could only tell that the girl had long black hair but couldn't tell how she actually looked because her vision was blurred by her tears.

"T…this way." Said the girl a little nervously and helped Sakura get up and they hid behind some bushes beside the pavement.

After a few minutes Syaoran passed the place where they were hiding, Sakura heard a sharp intake of breath from beside her and turned around to face the girl.

"You were hiding from Him?" She asked puzzled.

"SYAORAN wait what's wrong??" said another voice and they saw Kyoko run past them.

At the sight of Kyoko Sakura began to cry again.

The girl beside Sakura looked puzzled for moment then as if she just found out something obvious; she slapped her forehead with her palm.

"You are coming with me." Said the girl.

This was so surprising to Sakura that she forgot about crying and looked up…. "Hoe??!!"

AT THAT GIRL'S HOUSE

Sakura was sitting at a very big and comfortable living room and staring at her coffee, lost in her own world. The girl who brought her here was still changing her dress. Why did she bring me here? She told me that I need to understand but what is it? Why did I come anyway……oh yeah I was too upset to argue and I was soaking wet………so-

"Hello" the girl was standing in front of her. She did have long black hair and auburn eyes.

"Hi….thanks for everything………but I need to get home"

"You must be Sakura." She said and held out her hand for her to shake. "I am Meilin……..Meilin Li"

Sakura looked up confused and a bit shocked. Is she his wife or something??!!

"I am Syaoran's cousin." She said as if reading her mind.

Sakura stood up and said "I am not in a mood to discuss about anything…as I said before I need to go home."

"Who said I am going to discuss something with you??" said Meilin putting her hands on her hips. "Its more like I am going to tell you something."

Sakura looked confused but sat down again.

"You met Kyoko, didn't you?" asked Meilin

She nodded

"I have been with Syaoran all my life…………we studied together, played together and even cried together so the thing is I know everything and I mean it everything about him." She paused then continued. "Syaoran never went to school until he was 12 years old…………he was home tutored so when he first went to school he was very confused about everything and the main problem was the girls."

Sakura looked utterly confused.

"The thing is Syaoran was really handsome and also very athlete so it was obvious that all the girls were crazy about him…………Kyoko was one of them and she was also one of the popular kids………all the guys were crazy about her……….She is rather beautiful and so she was Syaoran's first crush."

Sakura looked like she was going to cry again.

"You can't blame him." Meilin said firmly. "He is a guy after all……….you can't tell me that you've never had a crush before??"

Sakura imagined about her brothers best friend Yukito and blushed then nodded.

Satisfied, Meilin continued. "Syaoran and Kyoko were boyfriend and girlfriend for like nine months but soon Syaoran realized that Kyoko was just a silly childhood crush and he does not feel any love towards her whatsoever! So he broke up with her"

"but….but….she told me that she was his girlfriend." Said Sakura with teary eyes.

"The thing is…..Kyoko wasn't ready to let go……….she is not used to being dumped …she is usually the one dumping people………and so she sticks to Syaoran………I hate her soo much….she still believes that Syaoran needs some time to realize how he truly feels"

Oh no what have I done??!! He must think I hate him. Thought Sakura as tears started to form in her eyes again.

"I have never seen him so happy before." Said Meilin and Sakura looked up, confused. "When he came back from the date yesterday………he really loves you Sakura."

Sakura stood up and said "Thanks a lot Meilin-chan………I really need to go and apologize to him."

"He is at the park……….probably sitting on top of a tree." Said Meilin

"How do you know?" asked Sakura slightly puzzled.

"What did I say? I know everything about him."

Thanking Meilin again she went out the front door. It stopped raining but there were still clouds in the sky.

AT THE PARK

Syaoran was sitting on top of a cherry blossom tree and cursing himself and the world and Kyoko and the park and Kyoko and the trees and Kyoko. Hoping that someday he could kill her. Then he saw Sakura running towards him, he jumped down.

"Sakura I can ex-" but before he could finish his sentence Sakura had thrown herself on him and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"You don't need to explain." She whispered. "I met Meilin-chan."

All the confusion disappeared from his face and he hugged her tightly. Thanks Meilin, I owe you he thought.

"So, what were you going to say before we were interrupted by….um….Kyoko?" she asked batting her eyelashes like Kyoko and he laughed.

"Well….I was gonna say that I am gonna start school from 1st April in Tomoeda High…….with you." He said.

"That's great" said Sakura. "And…..?"

"And nothing else that was all" he said smirking

Sakura hmphed and looked the other way crossing her arms over her chest. Syaoran moved closer and whispered to her ear. "Did I forget to tell you that I love you?"

And it started to rain again.

Sakura turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist.

"I love you too." She whispered back and then looked towards the sky and back to Syaoran with a mischievous look.

"You know? I have always wondered how it will feel like to kiss in the rain." She said smiling and looking into his eyes.

"Guess you are going to find out." Said Syaoran smirking.

"Ya think?" said Sakura, she was smirking too.

Slowly he leaned closer and she closed her eyes their lips touched and both pulled closer they were so close that he could hear her heart beat and she could hear his. He parted her lips with his tongue and inserted it in her mouth and she did the same, exploring each other. His hands now on her hips pulling her closer even though there was no space between them. They kissed for more than a minute and finally pulled away for air.

"Wow" said Syaoran and licked his lips; Sakura punched him lightly on the arm and blushed. He hugged her never wanting to let go.

"Guess we are now a couple." He said after a while.

"Guess so"

"And its all thanks to Meilin."

"Yep…..Thanks to Meilin."
