SEEING YOU FROM AFAR
-sweetly ME-
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Card Captor Sakura. But this story is what I own.
CHAPTER 3 - Unwanted Love Affairs
"So… Uh… What will I do?" Sakura asked Eriol
"Well, did you write/wrote stories like uh… Feature news or something?" He tried to know the term
"Uhm…" She was thinking for the answer. "… No, but I just love writing and all, I really do. In fact, I have so many articles that I had written back home."
"Really? Oh that must be outrageous of you."
"Uh… Guess no. You see, I just don't know if my stories are that nice."
"Silly! You're Sakura Kinomoto and you can do anything!"
"But…"
Yeah, yeah, there they go leaving poor Syaoran on their back. It seems like they didn't notice a person, either. He even coughs, but that cough was on purpose so that he could be noticed by them. But they didn't hear a thing because they are busy talking and talking and blah… blah… blah…
"Yo, Syaoran!" A voice of a guy had suddenly called his name out.
"What would you like to do?" Eriol asked him. Syaoran's hand was in his pocket and he's looking at him lazily.
"What's not yet taken?" He asked plainly.
"Well, you can do photographs"
"Tsk."
"I might take that as a yes you know." He teased him.
"Alright. Whatever."
"Domo arigatou…" he smiled at him, but Syaoran's sweat dropped.
Sakura was back to her lonely self once again.
'Seeing Syaoran like this makes my pressure high. Why is he here anyway?' She thought to herself.
"SAKURA!" shouted somebody.
Sakura had turned to the person that called her. It was Syaoran.
"There, now you faced me." He seemed relieved.
"We'll be going this way now." Eriol pointed at the gym. "Maybe we can find some interesting there to be written." He explained.
"Uh, okay." She smiled.
"Are you not coming with us?" asked Syaoran making his voice even.
"Nope, I'm sorry but I just split up with you. Besides, it would be better if it's like that. I might also get updates on what to write." She exclaimed and smiled at them.
"If you say so." Eriol exclaimed as she shrugged.
She smiled
"Just be alert. I know you can do it." He added
They are both staring at each other's eyes.
"Ne! Aren't we going to go now?" Syaoran said in an evil manner.
"Woops, I guess I forgot about that. See you later Sakura-chan." He waved goodbye.
"Bye…" She said.
"Tsk." Syaoran reacted.
Then there she goes.
"Looks like you're jealous." Eriol teased
"… WHAT? WHO, ME? Why would I BE?" He suddenly blurted out.
"Is that a no?"
"What do you think?"
"Hmm, guess that would be it..."
"Hell! Yeah that's it! I'm not jealous!" He said frantically.
"Well, that's great." Eriol let out a heavy breath.
Syaoran's eyes widened.
"Besides, you already have you're crazy girlfriend."
"G… Girlfriend? What girlfriend?" Syaoran asked hesitantly.
"Keiumi Hajime. Don't tell me you've forgotten about her?" Eriol pointed out with one of his brows raised.
"She's not my girlfriend, Hiragizawa." He disagreed to him as he cursed something in his thoughts. 'Damn it!'
"Sakura will soon be mine." Eriol exclaimed with a sudden grim. "Better step out of my business."
This time he became stiff.
"S…Sakura?" he seemed to have lost his voice.
"Neh! Just kidding…" Eriol laughed.
Syaoran had sighed.
"Come on…" he invited him.
)))(((000)))(((
"WHAT?" a certain girl shouted.
"Is that true?"
Sakura nodded.
"Well, Li-kun is just okay from the outside of himself. But…" Naoko paused to take a sip from the juice can.
"But what?"
"You better stay away from him or just ignore him."
"?"
Naoko sighed. "You see, rumor is being spread here around Tomoeda about him."
"What about?"
"He's a play boy you know that? Girls here, girls there… You don't know when you'll be the next victim."
"Uhh, no, err, that must be some misunderstanding. I me-"
"Don't trust me? Well, I have to start right from the beginning." Naoko said.
"I have a friend… But she's not studying here in Tomoeda high. There was a time that she saw this guy and fortunately, she fall at love at first sight to him. But then, this guy had 'fallen' for her too. She was astonished that he courted to her. Then, they're bf and gf's now. But then, there was again a time when my friend caught him with somebody else. T…Then, she just ignored it like nothing had happened. Later that day, she broke up with that guy. But the guy said to give him another chance. She did. But still, he crashes the heart of my friend. She saw him again with another girl, but not the same girl that she had seen before." She told her the whole story.
Sakura became a statue. "Y… You m…mean, the guy is…"
"Unfortunately yes, he's Li-kun." Naoko said expressionlessly but her can juice was being crashed by her.
She couldn't believe it. Looks like the world suddenly stopped from moving. Still, her eyes widened.
"Why Sakura? Do you like him?"
"I… Don't know." She said.
"If yes, then you may try forgetting about him now. Maybe this time, you will be the one that will be broken hearted by this guy."
"But, it's you're choice." She smiled. "I still don't have the rights to dictate you. I'm just giving you advice and don't take that as a negative impulse to you." She continued while standing. "Well, bye Sakura. I have practice in swimming." She waved bye and there she goes.
)))(((000)))(((
She's alone.
She was heading to her classroom and she walks slowly. But before she continued another step, somebody attracted her attention. So she stopped and looks on what's going on.
"Xiao-Lang!" She heard a familiar voice. It was Keiumi Hajime. There she goes towards Syaoran and flirts him again as always. She hugged her from the back joyfully. And for Pete's sake! It's in a public area. So the crowds got wild and tease them. Some said "WhoooHOO!" Others giggled
"Men! Get off of me you disgusting shit!" he blurted angrily.
"What for? I'm you're girlfriend now." She insisted
"Just get off me!" He had got away from her by pushing her, but not that rough. "I'm not you're boyfriend!"
Sakura was seeing that. But she managed herself not to react. She saw Tomoyo coming to her.
"Sakura-chan…" she said her name pleasingly. "what's going on?"
-No comment…
"…I bet you're jealous…" She teased.
Sakura was snapped. "Am not!"
"Sakura- chan, I know you… I know if you like a certain person or if not."
"-sighs… Okay, you get me. I'm jealous alright…" She bowed her head down, hoping that nobody had heard what she just said.
"JACKPOT! I was right all along…"
As for that, it was too loud to be heard by everybody in the corridor. All eyes were at Tomoyo Daidouji. Sakura on the other hand let out a big pressure.
"Uh… No… Were just having a conversation here and…err… We kind of let it loud so much…" Tomoyo bowed down.
Syaoran also stopped from arguing with Keiumi who doesn't stop in flirting him. Yes he stopped and sees what's happening around him with Keiumi hugging him around. He saw Sakura and another school girl. He thinks up of a plan on how to get rid of Keiumi.
"Keiumi…" Syaoran said in a soft manner.
She smiled out. "What my dear? You love me too?"
-NO COMMENT FROM SYAORAN-
"I take that as a yes… Oh! I love you too, darling Syao…" She hugged him so tight.
"NO!... Will you just listen to me just a sec?"
-she was surprised to what he said.
"You're just a stupid piece of crap. I have no interest in lame girls like you!"
…
"You're only a sick in my head… You can't do anything right either but to humiliate me all the time in front of many people. Now listen to me…" He faced at her and holds her shoulder. Everybody's eyes were again at them…
"I DON'T LIKE YOU! In fact I like somebody else…"
Keiumi's eyes widened. "What THE HELL?"
Syaoran let her go.
"Don't worry, you'll meet her."
He stepped on the direction of Sakura and Tomoyo. Sakura is been thinking why he's stepping closer to her. Her heart raised fast. With her hands on her chest, she closed her eyes and hoping that he's the one that he liked.
But then, the moment she opened her eyes, Syaoran was not in front of her. She turned her face and surprised that Syaoran was holing the shoulder of HER BEST FRIEND!... Her eyes widened. She then heard something but more like a whisper.
"Is that okay?"
She heard Syaoran with that statement. He was in love with Tomoyo!
As for Sakura, her emerald eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh I see…" Keiumi said while she clapped her hand and stepped closer on Syaoran.
"You're just having me jealous with that girl… You CRAP! You should've think up of an amazing plan!..."
"Go and think of it that way… We're going now. We have some things to discuss at hand. Come on Daidouji…"
And there they go…
Keiumi was so angry. Looks like she liked to punch something… Merely someone…
Sakura was tearing from the inside but as for her best friend, she was happy. But the guy she liked was on the hand of her best friend…
But… little by little, she was becoming angry at Syaoran… And HER best friend too. How come that she wouldn't tell him that her friend likes him…?
Or maybe it's just Tomoyo likes Syaoran the way Sakura liked him.
That's on Sakura's head either. She couldn't believe that.
So she just stepped out to go home.
Eriol had seen her again alone. In fact he was just hiding the whole time around…
