We Belong

Chapter 3 – Little Arguments

-------

"Really huh? So if you don't like me, then who's the lucky girl? That asshole Kinomoto?"

Sakura got up from her seat, her eyes blazing with anger as she stamped her clenched fist on her desk. She stared deadly at Yumiko. Tomoyo hurried to Sakura's side and also glared at the redhead.

"What did you just called me? You're the asshole here, slut! I don't remember anything I did wrong involving you so there's no reason for you to call me an asshole!" She blurted out. She is just so sensitive when people call her names. Yumiko took a step back but still had that teasing smile. Syaoran stood off from his seat upon seeing Sakura flushing from anger. He doesn't like it when she's mad.

"Yumiko, don't you ever dare call Sakura an asshole again. And what will you do if she's the one I like? Make her life miserable? I don't think so…" Syaoran said emotionlessly but seriously. He grabbed Sakura by the hand and dragged the flaring girl out of the room. He led her to the rooftop wherein they hangout during their free time.

"Are you alright?" He stood besides her, patting her shoulders rapidly. Sakura huffed and puffed with her eyes closed, cooling herself down. After a minute or two, she finally regained her calmness.

"Arigatou for taking me out of that room. For taking me away from Yumiko."

"Hmmppff… If I haven't done that, you might have turned into a monster by now…"

Sakura glared at him then smiled. The fact that he almost said he liked her made her giggle to herself as if something is very funny or as if she is very happy. She pulled off her hat and felt the gentle wind breezed through her face. Syaoran gazed at her beautiful light skin face and flying auburn hair and then he felt that weird feeling inside him again.

'What is this? Why is my heart pounding this fast whenever I'm alone with her? Darn!'

Sakura snapped a finger on his face. "Syao, you certainly look like a dummy by the way you eyed at me." She laughed teasingly. Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her.

"Just shut up Sakura! Don't start with me…" He muttered irritated, his cheeks slightly blushing. He jammed his hands on his pockets and started walking away from her. Sakura covered her mouth loosely, doing her best not to laugh more.

'He's very sensitive this past few days…' She thought. She followed him straightway and when she's by his side, she hung her hands on his arms and smiled at him, having that innocent look. Syaoran couldn't help but grin.

Meanwhile, back in the room…

"Oh that stupid Kinomoto! Arggh…" Yumiko shrilled angrily. "I can't believe Syaoran defended her and chose her over me…"

"Yumiko, would you snap out of it… You look so desperate and insane." Machiko teased with that annoying laugh. Yumiko glared at her.

"Yah, I'm crazy over my Syaoran… And I will do what it takes to be Syaoran's girlfriend… Even if I have to discard that stupid girl…" Yumiko had that evil laugh, her devious eyes flaring.

It was only mid-afternoon but it seemed like the sunshine had gone fainter than usual. Their classes just ended and after class activities and practices are being held. Tomoyo and Sakura came running to the field where the soccer practice is taking place. They had with them two bottled waters and towels.

"Syao-kun! Eriol-kun!" They both shrieked in unison as they waved their hands up in the air. Syaoran and Eriol cocked their heads to where the familiar voices were coming from and hurried to where the two girls are. Sakura handed Syaoran one bottled water and a towel. Tomoyo did the same.

"Syaoran, I'm going home now…"

"But Sakura, you have your cheering practice right?"

"Oh, it's suspended… So I just decided to go home early…"

"But… Ammm… You want me to bring you home?" He asked with a wide grin. Sakura raised an eyebrow at him as she wiped the sweat all over his face using the towel she brought.

"Syaoran, please quit being stupid! You're leaving your team's practice just to bring me home? Are you nuts?" She giggled. "You love your soccer game more than anything else and now you're dumping it for me? And after that I owe you one?" She laughed and swiped his face hard. Tomoyo and Eriol both pursed their lips to halt their laughing. Syaoran glared at Sakura and to them, seriously.

"Shut up Sakura! Why do you have to say a lot of nonsense things! You can just tell straight to my face that you don't want me to bring you home because you're hanging out with some guy out there…" He muttered enraged. Sakura eyed at him irritated.

"Duh! You're insane Syaoran… There's no use talking to a hot-headed guy like you… I can't believe you actually think that I'm putting up an excuse just to go out on a date with some jerk! C'mon Tomoyo, let's go home now! Ja, Eriol-kun!" Sakura snatched Tomoyo's wrist and started dragging her. Tomoyo planted a soft kiss on Eriol's cheek before totally walking away with Sakura. Syaoran scowled. Eriol just patted his shoulder.

"Little descendant, I think Sakura's right… You are really willing to give up our practice just to be with her ne? You screwed things up again because of you being so hot-tempered." Eriol said coolly. Syaoran eyed at him, unable to react because he knew in himself that everything Eriol said is right. He looked up at him helplessly.

"What should I do?"

"Follow her and apologize…"

"Are you out of your mind? I will never apologize to anyone, not even to that tomboy!"

On the other hand…

"Argghh… That jerk is getting on my nerves again!" Sakura shrilled, her hands clenched into a fist. She trampled on their way home with Tomoyo laughing on her side.

"Calm down Sakura… Syao-kun just wanted to be sure of your safety…" Tomoyo mumbled, trying to make her feel better. Sakura eyed at her, bethinking.

"Hmnnn… You've got a point… Oh well, I'll just work things out later at home…" Her frown enhanced into a cute smile. Tomoyo grinned and just flittered her head off.

'That's Sakura… Very sweet and soft…' She thought.

"Anyways, Saku-chan, what do you think about that Yumiko girl?" Tomoyo questioned with a simper, eyeing at her best friend shrewdly. Sakura, who has now hushed down from anger suddenly was filled with rage again. Her face reddened from the thought of that redhead.

"I think she's too stupid to function… Ahhh… I hate that girl! How could she call me an asshole when I'm not doing anything to her! She's such a psycho jerk! And to think of it, she even said that Syaoran liked her! Arggghh! I hate her!"
