Chapter 5: First date
We were in school the next day and lets just say I was super tired. After seeing my dad and getting questioned by Touya, Yukito, and Kaho, I just couldn't fall asleep. Nothing I did worked. Mom said it was because my mind was still racing from my meeting. It didn't want to stop working because it still didn't know what to make of it all.
I think she was right. I didn't know what to make of it all. I mean, my father walks out on my mom, brother, and I when I was seven and Touya was fourteen. We were raised by all the flakes mom brought home. After a while we just came to ignore all of them and we raised ourselves on the streets of Osaka. They were better then going home.
After awhile mom quit bringing all the flakes home and said she was going to be an independent person. The only man she needed in her life was her baby boy. And that was the end of any future step dads. I'm not complaining. The only men in my life are Touya and Yukito. Although that was from before we moved back here. Now its them, Syaoran, and Eriol.
I sighed as I made my way through the crowd with Meilin and Tomoyo. They were chatting about playing 'Sakura Barbie' after school so Tomoyo could adjust the dresses she made for the dance we were having in a few days. I sighed, why did they always have to dress me up. Why not Meilin? Or even better, why not Syaoran and Eriol? I thought about that one for a minute. Then I burst out laughing. Meilin and Tomoyo looked at me with a curious look. I shook my head not able to contain my laughter once I see both boys.
" Okay, what did you two do to poor Sakura?" Eriol questioned. Tomoyo raised her heads in defense.
" Nothing. We were just talking about after school we were going to play 'Sakura Barbie'. She was silent for a few minutes then she burst out laughing," Tomoyo told them. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
" What were you thinking about?" he questioned. I gulped not liking that evil gleam in his amber eyes. I laughed nervously and tried to think of a plausible lie.
" I was just thinking of my escape plans and which ones would be the best. Although, if this goes anything like in my mind, I'm doomed," I lied. Syaoran smirked. I knew he caught. I have this bad habit. If I lie, any one can tell from my eyes if they know me really well.
You see, depending on my mood my eyes change color with them. When I'm happy, they are bright emerald. When I'm angry, they're a dark forest green. When I absolutely hate something or someone, they are lime green. When I'm sad, they're jade green. And my favorite, when I lie, they're a really pale green. I've seen it all. When I was eight, Syaoran and Tomoyo told about that. So out of curiosity I stood in front of a mirror and pulled all of those emotions.
" Tell the truth Sakura," I have been able to perfect my lying but that's just wit my friends, not my best friends.
" No I think I would rather keep that to myself," I said. Syaoran growled. Meilin laughed, Tomoyo sighed, and Eriol shook his head. I knew what that growl meant. I looked over at Meilin and Tomoyo, pleading with them to help me. They nodded. Meilin stuck up three fingers and Sakura nodded slightly. Tomoyo sighed.
" Hey Syaoran, Lisa!" Tomoyo said loudly. At that he turned around and we took off running. Growing up on the streets of Osaka where you have to out run all the gangs, you get pretty fast. Not only that but running and gym are two of my favorite things to do. We would have races when we were younger and I would always win Syaoran. He hated that, oh so much.
However our running was cut short by Syaoran's biggest stalker, Lisa. I looked all around for a way to get past her. Sadly we didn't have one. I sighed and tried to think of happy things, like Touya's wedding in a few months.
" Hello Sakura," she said in a over sugar coated sweet voice. I pulled out a mocking sweet smile.
" Hi Lisa," I said. I tried hard not to gag as I said it. Tomoyo and Meilin weren't helping. They were laughing their butts off. And at the time I didn't know Syaoran and Eriol caught up.
" You think you're so big and bad, huh Kinomoto? Well, you're not. Just because Syaoran hangs around you, doesn't mean a thing. I'm his girlfriend. He always comes back to mama," she warned me. At this I laughed.
" First off, I don't think I'm big and bad," I paused here, letting her think she was right. It worked. " I know I am. Second, I've known Syaoran since we were in diapers. He's my best friend. If I think you are going to hurt him or just plain out use him, I will rip you to shreds. Third, last time I checked, Syaoran was single. He didn't want a girlfriend last time you offered, and I'm pretty darn sure he doesn't want you now. So take a hike princess. Because, if you want my best friend you're going to have to go through me. Not to mention, my cousin and his cousins. Because I know for a fact, Eriol won't take it to nicely if you so much as raise a hand to my cousin. Heck, you even think about raising a hand to her, Meilin, or Eriol, it's gonna take a lot more than just Syaoran to hold me back," I warned her. And I wasn't joking. They could tell.
I didn't even see it coming. She raised her hand and slapped me, hard. I wasn't expecting it so I lost my balance and fell backwards. She laughed. I smirked and got up. Meilin and Tomoyo knew the look in my eyes. And they smiled.
" Hey Lisa, next time you slap our best friend, don't forget about us," Tomoyo growled. I held up a hand.
" I got this one Moyo," I told her. " Hey Lisa, just a little heads up. After this you might want to get a nose job," I warned. She gave me a confused look and I smirked even more.
Before she had time to blink, my fist connected with her nose. I made sure not to break, although I could of if I wanted to. I didn't know it but we had attracted a group of kids. A bunch of them were shocked I actually punched. I removed my fist.
" Next, don't judge and think you will get away unscratched. That is one way a person looses in a fight," with that said we walked away. I was laughing so hard I almost fell backwards. Thankfully some one caught me. I looked up in to crystal blue eyes. I nearly screamed. He smirked. I growled.
" Get your filthy hands off of me, Hunter. Now before I kick your sorry butt all the way to Hong Kong," I threatened. He laughed at that.
" What's wrong Kura, you're not so tough without your little boyfriend around," at that a shadow loomed over both of us. I looked up and locked eyes with Syaoran.
" Hey buddy, get your hands off my girl," Syaoran growled. I smirked.
" I'd listen. Syao, isn't nice when some one messes with a person he cares about," I warned him. Of course he didn't listen. I decided to save Syaoran the energy. I lifted my leg and connected with his family jewels. He gasped and let me go. I smirked and walked over to Syaoran. I wrapped my arm around his waist and he dropped his over my shoulder.
" Touch my girl again, and I'll make sure you can never have kids again," he threatened. With that we walked away.
Once we were a few feet away I broke down laughing. Syaoran was trying his hardest not to but it wasn't working. Tomoyo, Meilin, and Eriol were looking at us like we were crazy. I shook my head.
" I saw the look on my ex's face is all," I told them. They nodded. School went by pretty quickly after that. I was planning on riding my death trap of a bike home but Tomoyo refused to let me go home in a skirt on a super fast motorcycle. Someone was either riding on it behind me or someone else was driving it. I sighed.
" But, but, no one else knows how to work my baby. You can't do this to me Moyo. I've never ridden it with anyone and no one has ever, ever ridden it but me. It would feel lost and lonely. My baby needs its mama," I knew I was being way to dramatic, but it was the truth. Then Syaoran just had to go and open his big mouth.
" So who's the daddy?" At that everyone raised an eyebrow. I glared daggers at him.
" He left when I was still putting my baby together. Is that a problem?" I asked in my most sarcastic tone. They all put on thoughtful looks.
" Hey no, I grew up with out my dad and look at how I turned out," I said. At that Meilin, Tomoyo, and Eriol looked over at Syaoran.
We both sighed in defeat. I tossed him a helmet and got on. He got on after me, just as defeated. I roared the engine and sped off in the direction of my house.
" Just a heads up, Touya is still home, he works late on Monday, so he goes later then usual. I'm just gonna go and change out of the skirt," I informed him. He nodded. This was going to kill me. I just knew it.
" Hey, Kura?" Syaoran asked after we pulled into my drive way. 'Great, Kaho's here to' I thought. I looked over at him.
" Yeah?" I replied.
" Do you want to go to the dance in a few days with me?" he asked. I was stunned. I thought about it for a minute.
" Sure why not," I agreed. With that we went in and were greeted by Touya being pulled away from the door by a dazed looking Kaho. I could already see the stars in her eyes. She was worst then Tomoyo.
" Great, just great. Syao, expect the whole police department at the school. My brother over heard us talking. Oh and be prepared for the pushy Kaho, trying to make you put a ring on my finger," I warned him. He just gave me a confused look at the last of my sentence. I shook my head.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed and feel free to let me know what you think. And thanks to all who reviewed.
Chapter 6: The Lies: I couldn't believe. The whole gang was back and because of Danny. I couldn't let the others get involved. It was my fight, my past, my lies. They didn't need to know about any of these things. Once I turn eighteen I'm going to make sure no one gets involved. At that I remembered Chiharu and Rika and Naoko.
