Chapter 2: Fight
I waited for Syaoran to loosen his grip so I could at least attempt to break his hold. That was wishful thinking on my part. There were five minutes left and I was getting bored just waiting for the bell to ring. So I decided what the heck, might as well get this little trix's name, for my fun later on.
" I'm Sakura Kinomoto. What's your name?" I asked sweetly, betraying all anger I felt. She looked at me as if I was crazy. Tomoyo answered for her.
" That's Amber. The girls on her left are Melissa and Autumn. The girls on her right are Ashley and Anya," she informed me. I smirked. Oh was I going to have fun with this or what. Just as I was about to comment, the bell rang.
As the bell rang I took off out the cafeteria doors before anyone could stop me. I made it to the classroom in record time. Just as the late bell was rang, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Meilin, and Eriol walked in and took their seats. They started taking notes and ignored me. It's about time. If anyone would piece me together it would be either Syaoran or Tomoyo. I think Syaoran already figured it out though. After all, everyone here thinks I'm just a new girl. New girls aren't allowed to call him Syaoran. They can only call him Li. Everyone knew that. And yet I let it slip. But he didn't get mad at me, that's what shocked me the most. I looked up at the clock. We had thirty minutes until the bell rang. I took out my cell and sent a text to Chiharu asking what time to meet up at the tree.
A few minutes later I received one back from her. "4'o clock" was what she said. Four o' clock, that was thirty minutes after school. For me to get to the tree it took fifteen minutes and that was me speeding on my death trap of a motorcycle as Touya kindly put it. Well that left me with fifteen minutes to get home and change into more suitable clothes. Hmmm… mom should still be at the modeling agency and Touya should be at the station.
My mom, Nadeshiko is a model for different clothing agencies. Touya is the chief of police. He was transferred from Osaka's station because of a few guys there. Let's see Touya won't be back until ten. Mom won't be back until eight. So if I finished what I had to do I could still hang out with everyone. That worked for me. Plus anything was better then staying home alone.
The bell rang announcing the end of the school day. I gathered all my things and put them in my book bag. As I was walking out the door I was searching for my keys when I heard Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and Eriol approach me. I looked up from what I was doing and raised an eyebrow.
" We were wondering if you wanted to come over to my house later. You see that way we can get to know each other and become great friends," Tomoyo said.
" Uh, sure. I don't have anything else to do today any way," I replied.
" Actually Tomoyo, I can't. I just remembered my mother wanted me home after school for an hour long meeting," Syaoran said. Tomoyo looked thoughtful for a minute.
" Hey, Sakura, didn't you say you had to meet up with some friends from Osaka after school?" Tomoyo asked. I nodded, already knowing where this was going.
" Well why don't you all come over in an hour. Besides that will give me more time to prepare," she said. Everyone nodded. They looked at me and I nodded slowly. At that moment Amber and her little posse came up to us. I saw Takeshi give Syaoran a look and before I could even blink, Syaoran had his arms around me in a steel grip. I groaned.
" Is this really necessary. I promise not to do to much damage," I said. Takeshi smiled lightly.
" Yes it is. I know what you can and won't do, Kura. Now just relax. Syaoran, please take her out to the parking lot and help her find her bike. You are still driving that death trap right?" He asked. I sent him a glare.
" It's perfectly safe, thank you very much. And yes I am," I told him. He smiled and looked at Syaoran. Syaoran sighed but nodded. This was only because Takeshi and Eriol were Syaoran's two best friends.
We made it to the parking lot and I was scanning it looking for my bike when Syaoran spoke.
" It must of took a lot for what you said to Amber," he commented. I turned to look at him.
" No not at all. I used to deal with girls like her back at Osaka. The only difference was my two friends, Rika and Naoko, would be there to make sure I didn't beat the living daylights out of them. But whenever they got mad enough, Chiharu and I would be able to do what we pleased. Those were very rare occasions. It takes a lot to get under both Rika and Naoko's skin. I should know. I tried it once on purpose. It was a beautiful day," I told him. He raised an eyebrow at that.
" Why would any one try to mess with you.?" he asked. I kept scanning for my bike but replied.
" It was usually new girls or guys. They would try something. Like a new girl would try to convince me to join them and become popular. Or a new guy would try to make me his girlfriend. If I refused they would get mad and try to do something that crossed the line," I told him. He nodded in understanding. I saw his eyes stop scanning and land somewhere at the edge of the parking lot.
" Who's bike is that?" he asked. I looked over at where he was looking. In the space was a black Suzuki with blue flames. I smirked.
" That would be my ' death trap of a bike' as Touya and Takeshi put it. Honestly it's not a death trap. It's one of the safest bikes you'll ever come across," I told him. I got on it, started it, and put my bag in the spot behind me. I pulled on my helmet and waved slightly to Syaoran. I looked at my watch and saw that I only had twenty minutes left of getting to the tree. So much for changing. I reached the tree with five minutes to spare. Perfect, just what I needed. According to Chiharu, I was fighting Shin. Shin was one of my ex boyfriends.
He's a little sore about how I chose to break up with him. I caught him cheating on me with one of the new girls. I decided to pick one of Tomoyo's favorite plans. She told me that if she ever caught her boyfriend cheating on her, the next day she would walk up to him during lunch, sit on his lap, and make out with him for at least five minutes. After they pulled away, she would bend down and whisper in his ear, " We… Are… Through," get up and walk away. That was exactly what I did. Naoko named it the Kiss of Sakura. Meaning, if I did that, the whole school would know I was breaking up with him.
He was shocked and hurt. So ever since he has been trying to get me back by trying to beat me. So far it hasn't happened. Shin pulled up and smirked.
" Thought skirts just weren't your thing, Sakura," he commented. I pulled on my tough girl attitude before replying.
" Yeah well, I thought, what the heck, why not see if I can be you twice as fast in a skirt," I said, my smirk never leaving my face. He hated how I did that. I could do the littlest thing and get someone mad at me. Every now and then I wished I didn't have that talent. But hey, not my fault, right? Right. With that the fight started. Shin charged at me, I side steeped him. Before he got out of my range I kneed him in the stomach then brought my leg down on his back. He fell to the floor, moaning about how much it hurt.
" Next time don't think you can beat me just because I wear a skirt. That will cause everyone you fight to beat you," I said. I turned around and walked away. I looked at the time and sighed. I had to be at Tomoyo's in fifty five minute. That meant I had time to get home, shower, change, and bandage up the cut I received with out knowing it. I guess he scratched me when I was side stepping. Oh well. I drove home thinking about what to tell Touya and everyone about the scratch. Before I knew it I was home. I parked my bike and went in side.
I noticed we had a new message and pushed play on the machine. The voice that came through scared me and made me freeze in my tracks.
" Hey, I was just calling because I heard you guys moved back here to Tomeda. I was just wondering if I could take Touya and Sakura out for dinner and introduce them to their new step mom. Let me know Nadeshiko, you still have my number, it hasn't changed. Bye," I clenched my teeth. There was no way I was going out with that man. Not after what he did to us, how much pain he caused mom and Touya and me.
Flash Back
**********************************************************************
" I CAN'T BELIVE YOU FUJITAKA!!!!!" Touya and I were on top of the stair case listening as our parents fought again. They did this every night when dad came home. He would go to work early, not answer any of mom's calls and come home late. Mom and Touya suspected something was going on, but I didn't' know any better. I mean, they never fought before, but still.
" Nadeshiko, calm down. It's not what it---" dad tried to say something. Touya and I both knew what it was. We didn't want to believe they were fighting. We didn't want to believe they were leaving each other. But deep down I knew it. Syaoran told me the signs, the very same signs his parents showed before they divorced. We couldn't hear or see what was happening now but after a little bit we heard the front door slam and my mom cry out.
End Flash Back
**********************************************************************
I snapped out of my thoughts and went upstairs to take my shower. After I finished it I picked out an outfit to wear. I decided on a tight black shirt that reached an inch above my naval and had ' Karma, What Goes Around, Comes Around' emerald green writing. I pulled on a pair of tight low rise blue jeans, my black and blue Etnies, and my blue hoodie with my stuffed animal, Kero on it. Kero was a stuffed animal Syaoran gave me on my tenth birthday before I moved. He had the body of a lion, the head of a bear, and wings on his back.
I was devastated when he was tossed out because he was long gone. I did everything with him, and at one point, my mom couldn't fix him, so he was tossed. Touya knew how much I loved him. So for my sixteenth birthday he gave me this hoodie. He took a picture he had of Kero and maximized it and had it customized into a hoodie for me. Some times my brother can be cool. When he wants to be. With that I headed for Tomoyo's. I was down the street when I realized, I was the new girl, how was I suppose to know where she lived. I was thinking of possible excuses when I pulled into her drive way. I looked at my phone and saw that I still had ten minutes. ' Oh well, might as well see what's been going on' I thought.
I went up the drive way to knock on the door. A second later Tomoyo answered the door. She looked mildly surprised.
" How did you find the house so quickly?" she asked. I racked my brain for a few seconds before coming up with a plausible excuse.
" Oh, I looked you name up in the phone book," I replied. She nodded and let me in.
" Eriol, Meilin, and Syaoran will be here soon. So Sakura, why didn't you tell us right away who you were?" Tomoyo asked. I raised an eyebrow.
" So who figured it out first? You or Syaoran?" I asked. Tomoyo smirked.
" Syaoran of course. You know, you kind of gave you self away in the lunch room to day. I was shocked when he told us who you were. I didn't believe him at first. Then he told us the evidence. We had to believe him," she said.
" Figures. He always was the smartest of us," I muttered.
" Is that suppose to be a compliment, Kura?" I heard from behind me. Tomoyo laughed as I spun around.
" Depends on how you want to take it, Li?" I said. He raised an eyebrow when I used his last name. Meilin squealed and tackled me to the floor. Eriol just offered me a smile.
" So what are we doing here?" I asked. I got up and looked at Tomoyo. I saw that familiar gleam and instantly paled. I shook my head frantically.
" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," I repeated over and over. I knew it was hopeless, but hey a girl can try, can't she? Yes she can. I guess it was back to playing Sakura dress up. I sighed in defeat when Tomoyo pulled out her strongest weapon, her puppy dog pout. Takeshi laughed.
" Now I know how you got so good at it," he commented. I was about to comment when Tomoyo pulled Meilin and I up the stairs to her room.
" You boys stay put," Tomoyo commanded.
A/N: Thank you for reading, and thank you to the reviewers. Feel free to let me know what you think.
Chapter 3: Past
I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. My ex boyfriend, Danny, transferred to Tomeda. I was dead, seriously, dead. I wasn't going to be alone with him if it was the last thing I could do. I would have at least one of them with me at all times. I knew if I truly wanted to, I could take him. And if push comes to shove, I will kick his sorry butt. However, if I can, I will avoid fighting for Touya.
