Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura… Fair enough?
Recap: Sakura rolled her eyes at the boy, Li Syaoran's attempts to "woo" her. Sure he was a strange person, who interested Sakura, she would never let it show.
Syaoran however wore a smile on his face throughout the rest of the day thinking "Finally, I got to talk to the fallen angel of Tomoeda"
FALLEN ANGEL
Chapter two: Another Meeting
Sakura made her way into her cozy little home and up to her room, not bothering to say hello to anyone.
Fujitaka, her father sighed sadly as he watched his daughter close her bedroom door.
"Dad, you okay?" Touya, Sakura's brother, asked. Fujitaka looked away from his daughter's door and into his son's dark eyes. Sadness overwhelmed them both when Touya glanced into his father's eyes. Sakura's actions were tearing them apart, slowly.
"Everything will be alright" Touya tried to reassure, not just his dad, but himself as well.
"I hope your right" Fujitaka said, "I hope your right"
Meanwhile a certain chocolate brown hair boy was training hard in his mansion.
"Wipe that smile off your face young man" The trainer screamed. Syaoran tried to, but couldn't seem to manage.
"Left, right, left, right, left…" The voice of his trainer flowed in one ear and out the other, instead the melodic voice of the 'Fallen Angel' as he liked to call her, stayed in his head.
"I'd rather not Mr."
"Li. Li Syaoran"
"I didn't request to know your name"
Her voice echoed in his head all day, keeping a smile on his face.
"Syaoran buddy, coming to the house tonight?" A boy around 17 asked.
"Nah, I got something to do" Syaoran answered.
"Really, what might that be?" The nosey boy asked.
"None of your business Hiro, so back off unless you want me to make you" Syaoran threatened.
"Okay, okay. See you tomorrow" The boy, known as Hiro said running off.
"Great" Syaoran said looking at his watch in distress "Now I'm late"
Picking up speed Syaoran ran to his usual bench across from the Sakura tree. Like always Sakura was sitting there with a book in hand. He took this time to memorize her features. Porcelain like skin, delicate features, captivating, all around captivating.
"Stop staring at me" Sakura said not bothering to look up from her book. "I know you're standing there, you promised to leave me alone, now leave"
Syaoran smiled mischievously and walked over to her, placing his bag next to hers.
"Aw, but that was yesterday, and it is in fact, today" He said wisely. Sakura rolled her eyes and shut her book.
"What do you want?" She asked annoyed. Her usually shining eyes, showed no emotions at all and her face was blank.
"To treat you to dinner" He answered.
"You never give up do you?" She asked irritably.
"Not usually Princess Sakura" He joked happily.
"It's Kinomoto to you and stop calling my princess" Sakura scolded.
"Fine, Kinomoto" he stressed the word Kinomoto for effect. Sakura once again rolled her eyes.
"You know if you keep rolling your eyes, they're going to get stuck back there" Syaoran stated matter-of-factly.
"Good, then I won't have to look at you all the time" She said, rolling her eyes again.
"That was mean" Syaoran stated pouting.
"Get over it" She answered getting up.
"Agreeing to let me treat you for dinner?" He asked hopefully.
"Nope" She answered, the happy look on his face vanished. "Just ditching you"
"See you later Princess Sakura" Syaoran yelled to her.
"It's Kinomoto. Ki-no-mo-to!" She screamed "And stop calling me princess!"
"Whatever you say Princess!" He yelled.
With that, she was gone.
A furious scream echoed through the Kinomoto residence. Fujitaka popped his head out from the kitchen and watched as a frustrated Sakura plopped herself onto the couch.
"Sakura darling, what's wrong?" Fujitaka asked. Sakura came to realization that she had disturbed the usually quiet house hold.
"Sakura, I'm your father, I'm here to help you" He reminded her. Before Sakura could protest the door bell rang. Getting up from her seat with as much grace as a queen, she opened the door. And when she did, she slammed it shut and walked away. Fujitaka, being curious, opened the door again to reveal a very shocked and wide-eyed Syaoran.
"Oh, I'm sorry about my daughter's actions, she's a strange one" The old man apologized.
"Oh it's okay, I know" Syaoran answered.
"You do?" The man asked.
"Yea, she'd very hot tempered and has lots of witty remarks" Syaoran revealed.
"Umm, Please do come in" Fujitaka invited. Syaoran nodded thankfully and stepped into the comfy house.
"Please take a seat" Fujitaka insisted. Syaoran nodded and sat on the couch. Fujitaka sat next to him and smiled a warm smile that made Syaoran think, maybe Sakura could smile like that.
"So tell me, how do you know Sakura?" Fujitaka questioned.
"I met her the other day, under the Sakura tree." Syaoran answered. "She finished reading a book and so I invited her to have a drink with me. But she protested and instead stalked off" He smiled at the memory. "And today was the same thing pretty much, except, today I got her a bit angry I guess"
"Oh, than I guess it is you I am to thank" The older man said.
"Thank?" Syaoran asked. "For annoying your daughter? That's something I've never heard of before". Fujitaka chucked and smiled.
"In a way, Yes. Thanks to you Sakura talked to me today. Most days she keeps to herself and avoids me and her brother at all costs. Today she was so frustrated she forgot to do that, and instead for a fraction of a second was her old self again, and for that I thank you" The man explained.
"Oh. Well, I just dropped by to deliver her bag to her." Syaoran said sheepishly.
"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Fujitaka asked. "If you're worried about Sakura, she eats in her room every night and won't be joining us"
"I'd love to" Syaoran answered. "But first, can I return her bag to her?"
"Of course, Up the stairs and the first door on the right" Fujitaka informed.
"Thanks" Syaoran said. The teenage boy made his way up the oak steps and was confronted with a narrow hallway. Looking to his right he saw a door that had "SAKURA" written on it. Figuring that was indeed the princess's door, he moved towards it and knocked. Gentle footsteps were heard and the door creaked open.
"Why do you keep showing up in my life" Sakura screamed.
"I just came…" He was cut off
"Can you just leave me alone" She asked infuriated.
"But I…."
"Just go away" She screamed slamming the door. Again, he knocked.
"What?!" She shouted at him.
"Bag" He said quickly, in fear he would get the door slammed in his face again. When Sakura just stared at him funny, he continued.
"I only came to bring you your bag" He said. "You left it under the Sakura tree."
Sakura snatched the white bag from his hand and faked a sweet, sarcastic smile.
"Thanks," She said. Her face changed to one of pure anger "I wouldn't have forgotten it there if you hadn't annoyed me in the first place!" She screamed slamming the door in his face once again.
Syaoran walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Fujitaka, who had heard the entire thing, looked at the stunned boy.
"Well" Syaoran started. "That actually went pretty well"
Fujitaka let out a laugh.
"Really, It did. I thought she would of slapped me." Syaoran said. Suddenly, Thunderous stomps were heard.
"You!" Sakura screamed pointing at Syaoran. "How dare you"
Syaoran smiled innocently.
"How dare I what Princess Sakura?" He asked.
"How dare you not only put your grimy little hands on my bag, but in it!" She screamed, steam coming out of her ears. "How dare you leave me a note!"
"It wasn't a mean note Princess" Syaoran protested.
"Give. Me. Back. My. Book!" She screamed.
"uh, uh, uh Princess, I'll give you back your book on one condition" Syaoran negotiated.
"What!?" She shouted.
"Eat dinner with us" He said simply. "That's all you have to do to get your book back. Eat dinner with us"
"Fine!" She said frustrated. Syaoran smiled and winked at Fujitaka.
Dinner was silent and there was a thick tension through out. Yet Fujitaka smiled. It was the first time in almost a year Sakura had eaten at the dinning table. It was the first time she showed emotions. It was the first time she said more than one sentence.
"I'm home!" A voice, that belonged to Touya Kinomoto, called.
"Kitchen" was all Fujitaka said. Touya walked into the kitchen and immediately caught the tension.
"What's going on in here?! And why is this gaki in our house?" Touya fumed.
"Exactly!" Sakura screamed. Touya looked in amazement at his sister. And then at his father.
"Did she just… Talk?" He asked. Fujitaka nodded his head.
"Get this gaki out of our house!" Sakura chanted. "Out, out, out"
She continued like that as if it was a song. Syaoran smiled in amusement. Fujitaka grinned happily and Touya stared in disbelief.
"Well, it would seem that the Princess would like me to leave, so I guess I should comply to her wishes before she has me beheaded" Syaoran joked. Sakura glared at him.
"What did I tell you about calling me princess?" She said venomously. Syaoran pretended to think.
"Hmm. I think you said, not to" He answered.
"Exactly!" She shouted. "So stop!"
"Whatever you say Princess Sakura" He teased.
"Kinomoto you idiot., Ki-no-mo-to!" She said angrily.
"My bad your highness." He said getting up and going to the door. Sakura followed him to make sure he left. She glared daggers while doing it.
"Fair thee well, my darling princess. Until we meet again" He said dramatically.
"Zip it drama queen!" She snarled. "Leave, Now!"
"Bye Princess Sakura" He said darting out of the house. Sakura screamed in a frustrated manner and slammed the door shut screaming 'And don't come back'
Touya and Fujitaka laughed at the tactics of the 'gaki' until Sakura came in.
"What on earth are you two hyena's laughing at?" She screamed. Making them laugh even harder.
"You!" Touya said through laughs "You're such a Kaijuu"
Sakura realized just in the nick of time, that she was acting foolishly and restored her grace and silence. She gave them one last look, this one emotionless, and then she stalked off to her room.
"Well, It was fun while it lasted" Touya announced walking off to his room.
"Yes" Fujitaka said "And maybe, It will last longer"
