Chapter 6: Lies
The dance was fun. It was different mainly because Touya, Yukito, and Kaho insisted on coming as well. Their excuses were so funny. Touya's I think was the absolute truth though. They were, I'm just going to make sure that brat doesn't try anything on my little squirt of a sis. That would be Touya's. Yukito's was I'm just seeing how the school looks and if it has changed since I graduated. Kaho's simple. I'm going for a) to take pictures for the paper, and b) make sure the little punk doesn't try anything on my sweet innocent baby sister. I just laughed at that. Touya didn't appreciate my comment to it either. It was 'Since when have I ever been sweet and innocent?'. Of course that got him mad, but it was the truth.
However now things were getting out of hand. Yesterday I got a call from someone I thought I left behind when I moved back here. If you think Danny was obsessive, he would put him to shame. He was my last boyfriend before I moved back here. His name is Kalo. I was with him the longest and I honestly couldn't picture myself with anyone else. But on our five month anniversary I went over to his house. We were suppose to spend the day together. I wasn't suppose to be there for another hour, but I thought why not surprise him.
Boy was it a surprise, not just for him but for me as well. He gave me a spare key for our three month anniversary and I used that to let myself in. I just came from the garage and I still had grease on my hands. I didn't really want to go home and shower. I had spare clothes here and I knew Kalo would let me use his shower. I walked in and looked around. Something didn't feel right. I looked down and noticed a girls jacket that wasn't mine. Plus Kalo lived by himself. He didn't have any sisters and his mom lived in Tokyo.
I pushed the feel to the back of my mind and went to Kalo's room. I turned the handle and pushed the door open. What I saw broke my heart. Five months exactly went down the tubes. It hurt me so much. I saw Kalo sitting on the bed making out with Lisa. Chiharu was right there wasn't a word in the world that could describe her. She was worst than all the words you could think of. Before I knew it tears sprang to my eyes and I just glared at both of them.
" I can't believe you, Kalo." I growled out. He turned towards me with a shocked look on his face. But I didn't see it or hear anything he was shouting. I ran as fast as I could out the door and in to the streets. At that moment the skies decided to cry with me and I let my tears free, cascading down my face faster than I could wipe them or blink them away. I ran all the way to the one person I trusted the most at the time.
He was like my mentor. He taught me how to fight, all the rules, and everything I needed to know about the Streets. His name is Zero. Zero was like my father figure. I always thought mom and him would be great for each other. They never met and mom said she wouldn't date some one from the Streets. I needed a good influence. I told Zero everything I saw. I was beyond ticked. Touya and Zero got along better then anyone I ever introduced him to.
They told me the reason was because they were both protective of their little Cherry Blossom Princess and didn't want anything to happen to her. I knew it was true and I never argued with it. But that day he wanted to kill Kalo. So did Touya, mom, Yukito, Kaho, Chiharu, Takeshi, Rika, Naoko, my boss from the café, Kaoru, and Takeshi said all his friends in Tomeda wanted to help. I told them it was fine. I had my own plan. When the time was right he would get his. Karma is one of my favorite things in the world. What goes around comes around. What goes up must come down. And trust me when I say Kalo will get his soon.
He told me in the call he was moving to Tomeda. I was void of any emotion. I just hung up on him. We were in the middle of class when I decided to text Zero. We had an hour until lunch and that was plenty of time to explain my plans to him. He would be able to call Touya and inform him. This was going to be better than anything else I have ever done. It is one of my plans I told Tomoyo I would use if I ever found out my boyfriend was cheating on me.
'Hey, Z, Kalo called last night. He said he is moving to Tomeda. I think it's time to go through with our little plan.' I sent the text and waited for a reply. I got a reply a few minutes later. Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meilin, and Eriol were looking over at me. I just ignored them for the time being and read Zero's text.
'A 'right Kura. So what's the plan?' he answered. I sighed. This was going to be great.
'When he comes, I'll make sure he comes to the bar Rika works at. They have karaoke there. I'll sing a little song and let him know I'm a fighter, a survivor. I have everything planned out. Tell Touya for me,' I sent back. A few minutes later I received one saying, 'kay.
With that the bell rang and we got up. I decided to be slow and get ready for any calls. Syaoran and Tomoyo were waiting for me by the door. I noticed they were talking and decided to just ignore it. I walked over to them a bright smile on my face and my books in my hand.
" Hey, what'cha talking about?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew they wouldn't tell but old habits die hard.
" We were just trying to guess who you would be texting in the middle of class," Tomoyo told me. I laughed.
" Just an old friend of mine. He was like a father to me in Osaka. We still keep in touch and talk. I was telling him about how quiet it is here and how you don't have to fight everyone to prove you are the best," I lied. I was able to perfect it, although I knew Syaoran saw through it.
Tomoyo smiled and nodded in understanding. She waved slightly and went to catch up to Eriol and Meilin. Syaoran shook his head.
" You need to drop the lies, Kura. Honestly. We are your friends. We hurt whenever you lie to us. It's painful to know your best friend refuses to tell you the truth," Syaoran told. I looked away and refused to meet his gaze.
" It's for your own good, Syao. In Osaka I got mixed up with the wrong people. I can't have them coming after you guys knowing they could hurt you to get to me. I'm doing this for your own safety. I don't want you guys getting hurt because of my stupid, idiotic mistakes. So for now, just accept my lies and don't question them. I'll tell you the truth, Syaoran , I promise you I will. But not yet. When I fix everything," I told. He looked down. I felt bad but it was the truth. I had to lie to make sure they didn't get hurt. I'm an idiot and I know. But I couldn't live with my self if anything ever, ever happened to them.
He still refused to look at me. I didn't the only thing I knew how to do. I stepped in front of him and wrapped my arms around him in a hug. I honestly wish I could tell him.
" You're so headstrong Kura. To headstrong for your own good. Alright, for now I'll believe your lies. And I'll be expecting that explanation soon," Syaoran told me. I laughed and nodded. We parted and made our way to the lunch table we usually sat at. Amber and her little group came up to us. Lisa was with her as well. Would you look at that. The fakes all flock together until they actually needed a friend. Amber glared at me. I just smiled sweetly at her.
" Can we help you?" I asked in a sugar coated voice I think I just gave myself cavities. That is just great.
" No you can't. However, Syaoran can," she said. I saw Syaoran clench his teeth when she said her name. I looked over at the others and decided , heck with it, they want a good reason to call Touya, here it comes.
" That is Li to you. The only people allowed to call him Syaoran are his closest friends and family. And if you've come over here to beg him to join your little group, go fly a kite, take a hike, or go float a boat. Because, Syao wouldn't ditch his closest friends for the likes of you," I told them flat out. My mom often told me my mouth would get me in trouble.
If she only knew how often that was. I don't sugar coat my words like I should, I flat out people what I think of them. Not the smartest thing to do, I know, but what can I say. Hanging around guys your whole life does that to you. They were looking at me shocked. Yep I was in deep trouble now. Just what I needed. Amber glared at me. I sighed. She took a step towards me and raised her hand to slap me. Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and Eriol actually thought she would touch me. I side stepped and caught her hand.
" You're to predicable with your movements. It would have worked if I wasn't paying attention. Like so," with that said I raised my knee and nailed her in the stomach. She doubled over holding her stomach tightly. I shook my head. I looked at her little group of friends. They weren't even bothering to help her. I looked down at her and bent down so we were eye level.
" Get better friends. They are just using you for the popularity. Try finding true friends. Trust me, they would help you no matter what," she looked in to my eyes after I said that and nodded. I sent a glare their way and picked Amber up. I looked at Tomoyo and Meilin asking silently for help. They nodded and helped me. Meilin and I put an arm around our shoulders and Tomoyo opened the door for us. We took Amber to the nurse's office and left for class.
We went entered the classroom everyone just stared at me. I gave them a confused look and sat down.
" They're shocked that after making her fall t her knees you help her up and take her to the nurse. That's all," Syaoran informed me. I shrugged.
" Not my fault. She tried to slap me. Plus I felt bad because her so called friends wouldn't even lift a finger to help her." I said.
" No one can call you heartless Kura, that's for sure," Eriol told me. I laughed a little at that. If only they knew. I've been called heartless so many times in fights I lost count and I take it as a compliment. It didn't bother me that they were trying to insult me. I couldn't care less. I was so lost in my thoughts I was even paying attention.
The bell is what snapped me out of them. That plus the fact that my phone was vibrating in in my jacket pocket. As we made our way out the door I flipped my phone open and looked at the text I got. I nearly dropped my phone. It was a text from Kalo. He would be here in two hours. Perfect. I smiled at the others.
" I have to make a call to Rika really fast," I told them. They nodded. I quickly dialed her number and waited for her to pick up.
" Hello?" I heard her shy voice answer.
" Hey Rika, it's Kura. I have a favor to ask."
" Oh of course Kura. What is it?"
" Well I was wondering when does the bar do karaoke?"
" Friday night, why?"
" Well Kalo will be in town in two hours and its time Karma came back around." She laughed before replying.
" Alright. Come by anytime. Get him good. For us, please?"
" Of course. He needs a little wake up call like little Danny boy did." She laughed again.
" You bet he does. Oh are you going to be there at the Streets?"
" I haven't missed yet, have I?" She laughed again.
" No you haven't, I can't wait to watch you show those little boys up," I laughed at that. Rika was so competitive. It was funny at times. With that we hung up and I joined my friends.
" Hey, what do you guys say going to a bar Friday?" I asked. They looked like they were going to decline.
" Just for karaoke, I promise. Rika works there. Plus Touya, Kaho, Yukito, and Zero are going." Syaoran raised an eyebrow at Zero's name.
" He was like a father to me, he's great," I told him. They nodded.
" It could be fun," Meilin agreed.

Chapter 7: To little To late: We were at the bar, I was looking around and caught sight of Kalo. He saw me and made his way over to me. Before he could reach us I walked up on stage with Tomoyo and Meilin. I told the DJ which song we wanted and he agreed. Have fun Kalo, because your to little to late.
