Devil beside you

Chapter 3

At your service

She now stood in an abandoned classroom. The white walls complementing her skin as it highlighted her emerald eyes. Breathing hard because of her nervousness and because of the vicious butterflies fluttering on her stomach, she wanted to get out of the four walled room… away from the demon. She steadied her focus on the wall, trying her best not to have eye contact with the devil itself though it's hard for her to remain her focus for four boys are already bordering her, staring at her rather awkwardly.

"Who is the girl?" A white haired man spoke. Judging her and examining as if she was a fruit on sale.

"Yeah, where'd you pick her up?" A young man with black hair bent down looking up her skirt.

"What the heck! Pervert!" she yelled mentally but she felt the four minions close the gap towards her and was now mere inches away from holding her. Sensing that it'll become the worst case scenario, she refused to look away from the wall though she could see a certain chestnut haired boy sitting at the far end of the room… beaming at her.

"Her name's Kinomoto Sakura. She'll do anything I ask." He casually said as he sat upright from his seat but his eyes never left Sakura's form.

"Anything? Sugoi! Can I see your underwear?" The man with black hair sighed in awe. Eyeing her in approval, he licked his lips, slowly lowering his head as his eyes grew wider.

"Where are your manners?!" the white haired man scolded, turning back to look at the shaking Sakura he smirked at her sending chills down her spine.

"Ugh! Why does everyone here have to smirk like that?!" she thought as she helplessly retained her attention on the white wall.

"Don't mind Yuuri. I'm Yue, I won't harm you. I'm a very nice guy so… let me kiss you." He said as he brought his head closer and closer.

"What the-! This can't be happening! You've got to be kidding me!" she thought as she continued to think of any possible way out of the circle, but with her petit figure versus the five well built man surrounding her, resistance is just futile. Closing her eyes, she silently prayed… no, more like silently begged for a miracle to happen. Just as she felt Yue's breath, she opened her eyes and saw Syaoran punching Yue in the face and kicking Yuuri in the stomach. Syaoran sent another kick towards a spiky headed boy known as Tamaki, but he dodged it easily for the range was impossible for Syaoran's kick to reach him. Hugging back a trembling Sakura, he let her head rest on his shoulder as he sent a deathly glare on the last one in the room who sat at the back.

"Move aside! Don't you guys understand? She's exclusively mine. She listens only to me," He said in finality. Leaning back, he looked at Sakura and sent her his sinister smile, "Isn't that right?" he observed her and sent another menacing glare towards Sakura.

"Be obedient or I'll reveal the letter." He whispered as he patted his jacket with his left hand.

Widening her eyes just thinking about what he could do to the letter and to her. She sighed in submission as she let hands drop to her sides. "Yes! I'm you most loyal servant." She said quickly while she tried her best to hide back the tears threatening to fall. Releasing her, she dropped to the ground in utter humiliation. Looking back with stained red eyes, she bit her lip and rushed out of the room.

O o O o O

"His subordinate? Is he crazy?!" Tomoyo roared in nuisance as Sakura explained what happened to her the entire morning. They sat at the back of the cafeteria where no one would hear them as they leaned in closer to hug their distressed friend.

"I thought he was out of his mind too but… I'm scared of him. I mean with that look he's giving me and to top of it all, how would you feel if you're surrounded by his perverted gang?!" Sakura said as she tried to shake off the memory that keeps coming back.

"I heard those guys are ruthless because of him." Rika said as she shoved another spoon full of cake in her mouth.

"I don't want to hear about it!" Sakura closed her ears and loudly sang a jumbled song but was stopped when Tomoyo and Rika gripped both of her hands and pulled it down.

"Stop being in denial! Continue Rika." Tomoyo ordered.

"I heard that in high school whenever they targeted a girl, she would get pick on all the time."

"Why is it me this time?" Sakura said miserably as she sank further in the ocean that was showing in her compact mind theater.

"Because you're a coward that's why you get bullied!" Tomoyo screeched as she stood up knocking the chair in the process. Pointing her thumb at herself, she made a pose and patted Sakura on the shoulders, "Don't worry! I'll get your letter back!" she finished as Sakura's sullen eyes suddenly lit with excitement

"Uh, if you're gonna get that letter back then I suggest you wait for him at the exit of their building cause he gets out of class right about… now!" Rika yelled as she looked at her watch, giving Tomoyo one heck of a killer smile.

Walking out of the huge room, the three of them fiercely walked pass the gigantic pillars scattered through the school. Pushing their way pass the flock of students on the hallway they were soon on their way on the main arts building.

"Uh, Tomoyo. How will you get the letter back?" Rika looked at her questioningly as they walked down the stairs.

Tomoyo snorted and stopped on her track. "I'll do this. 'Li Syaoran, you listen up-" she poked a finger at Sakura while performing her speech, "If you don't want to die an ugly death then-" but she was stopped in her little speech as she saw Rika and Sakura's pale face. Biting her lips and crunching her face, she slowly looked back and saw Li Syaoran face to face.

"Then what?" he said smoothly enjoying the reaction he got from Tomoyo. "Then what?" he repeated as he looked at Tomoyo, eyeing her up and down, sending her intimidating looks until she broke down.

"Hey! Just because you're the school President's son don't assume that everyone here's afraid of you!" Sakura said confidently, stepping between the gap of Syaoran and Tomoyo. "Isn't that right?" she continued as she looked at Syaoran and plastered a victorious smile on her face but what happened after that smile isn't what she hoped for.

"Right guys?" she repeated persistently. Turning towards them and giving them an uneasy look.

"Hey! Syaoran! Just the man we're looking for!" Tomoyo's voice squeaked because of her nervousness, pulling Sakura towards her, she patted Sakura's head messing it in the process, "What I'm saying is that it's an honor that you chose Sakura to be your slave! Please take good care of her!" she yelled as she pushed Sakura forward to Syaoran and nudged Rika on her elbow signaling her to nod.

"Yeah, yeah! Our Sakura here, though she's very slow, her cuteness compensates for it! You have my approval so please take good care of her!" Rika also yelled but she controlled her voice compared to Tomoyo who squeaked everytime she talks.

"Don't forget your role. Get back to work." He said grabbing Sakura on the collar, pulling her back despite her squirming and managed to tug her down the stairs. Waving her hands up in the air, she tried her best to get away from the devil but she knew deep inside that resistance is useless so she decided to get back at her supposed to be best friends.

"You guys are traitors!"

O o O o O

The empty hallway seemed like an abandoned endless road to Sakura's eyes. Waving her hands up and down and constantly screaming, she hoped that the demon will let go of her but he constantly pulled her in the hallway. Seeing a post on the way, she computed her distance and grabbed onto it when she had the chance. Closing her eyes, hoping that he'd finally let go, she let out a gasp when she saw him face to face.

"You don't want to come with me?" he asked her and she shook her head vigorously indicating a yes, "Too bad. Then I guess I have to get the copies of the letter in the copying room, ja ne!" he released his grip and waved back.

Widening her eyes, she yelled a 'stop' and tugged him on the sleeve asking where he wants to go. Pointing at the room in the far end of the corridor, she voluntary entered the room with Syaoran at her back.

The room suddenly went mute when the doors opened revealing an unfamiliar girl and Li Syaoran. Sitting at the table beside the window, he plopped himself down and pointed at the table on his left. Sitting down, she examined the room and was caught in surprise when she saw that the devil's minions bordered her again. Yuuri tapped her shoulders as she tilted her head to the right and was surprised when a huge book, pen and a notebook was thrown on her desk.

"Good afternoon class…Please open your book on page 25." The professor instructed as he entered the room. Placing the briefcase on the table, he grabbed his book and scanned the room, eventually his eyes not failing to overlook Sakura.

"You're not from this class. Please leave." The professor pointed at Sakura whose eyes lit up with joy.

"Yes! Now I can get back to my class!" she thought. Hastily standing up and gathering the materials thrown at her she was surprised when someone pulled her. Glancing back, she saw Yue who was smirking and was snapped out of her tantrum when she heard a loud bang on her desk.

"Professor she's with me." Syaoran confidently said tilting his head sending an arrogant glare at the teacher.

"No exceptions and didn't I say that my class is not open for sit-ins?" the teacher said tenaciously. Finding the scene entertaining, Yuuri stood up and clapped his hands while pointing at the brave professor.

"Professor, you got nerves." Yuuri said, taunting him.

"We should give professor another chance. I brought her here to take notes." Syaoran said in a more threatening manner.

"You have someone else to take your notes. Do you also have someone else to eat for you? Tell me, who are you?" the teacher yelled furiously, never backing down at the rebellious man before him. No answer came for the students shut their mouths knowing that it's the best thing to do. Standing up and straightening his clothes, Yue walked closer to the teacher standing in front of his desk.

"Baka! He's Li Syaoran which makes him our school president's son you dumbass!" he yelled.

"What?! You don't have to yell at the teacher! You guys are all childish!" Sakura thought furiously. "Sorry professor. I will leave immediately." She stood up and walked down the aisle, gripping the strap of her bag tighter.

"Miss, please go back to your seat and take good notes." The professor said and bowed his head in humiliation. Standing there in astonishment, she bent her head and walked wearily towards her seat.

"It's useless… because if I want to do something then nobody can stop me." Syaoran said as she doubtfully sat.

"You- what do you want?!" she yelled a bit louder than she intended to.

"Nothing… it's just fun. I like to see girls get frustrated." With that decision made, he gave her a vicious look, reminding Sakura that he's the master and she's just the puppet.
