We Belong

Chapter 6 – Accident

-------

Rain continued to pour down on the earth as massive gray clouds soared towards the dark sky. The huge raindrops were sent rapidly down towards the ground, splashing into tiny droplets that seemed like little crystals. It had been a week since the rainy days started and Syaoran is back to being the strong and energetic one after resting three whole days. Thanks to his personal nurse---his best friend who stayed and took care of him all along. Their weeklong vacation will be held two weeks from now, and now they are on their way to buy stuffs for the upcoming leave. Tomoyo and Sakura always keep everything organized a week ahead before the event.

"Ahhh…" Syaoran yawned, slouching further into the seat of the car. "Why do I have to go with you guys when I can just sleep at home… You don't really need me for shopping, you know how much I hate waiting…" He murmured lazily.

"Yah, you're so right little descendant… We should've stayed at home and played video games instead…" Eriol agreed, taking a glance at his girlfriend who is just beside him and then focused his gaze back on the road as he was driving. Tomoyo and Sakura just both giggled triumphantly.

"Well, why didn't you told us earlier? Not now that we are here already…" Sakura said in a playful tone that was followed by Tomoyo's pestering laugh. The lads just glared at them with that annoyed expression while the lasses snickered in a more irritating way as they stepped out of the car.

Tomoyo swept her lips to Eriol's then smiled. "Just wait for us okay. We won't be that long, hopefully…" She mumbled sweetly. Eriol just nodded his head while slowly letting go of her hand.

Sakura on the other hand pinched Syaoran's cheek, irritating him more. "Don't you ever dare leave okay! Just stay here in the car and wait till I get back!" She frightened him. Syaoran glared at her and rolled his eyes.

"Fine, just be careful, you clumsy monster! Or else you'll end up rupturing the entire mall." He smirked. Sakura stared deadly at him before banging the car's door closed.

She and Tomoyo sauntered to the main entrance with their umbrellas on since the weather isn't still that pleasant. Syaoran and Eriol watched them go until they finally disappeared.

"Uhhh… They are both so annoying…" Syaoran grumbled, completely lying on the backseat of the car with his arms resting under his head.

"Yah, you said so… But life will sure be boring if they weren't in it…"

Syaoran chuckled. "You said it, girls and their stuffs really pisses me off but at the same time it's so much fun being with them…"

"If that's what you suppose, then why don't you get a girlfriend? See, if you really think that having a girl is fun, then why not have one?" Eriol questioned, a simper visible in his lips as he adjusted his glasses so he can see clearly what Syaoran's reaction would be.

"Well, I don't think I really need a girlfriend you know, especially that not all girls are fun to be with. Having Sakura is just perfect for me…" The chestnut haired responded nonchalantly with his eyes closed. Eriol's raised his eyebrow.

"But what if Sakura gets a boyfriend, you'll lose her for sure…"

Syaoran gaped, his eyes automatically flapped open. "No! I don't think that Sakura has any plan of having a boyfriend! And as for me, being her best friend, I won't just let any wooer out there come any closer to her… " He squawked angrily. Eriol noticed the sudden shift of mood and his sudden outburst. He just smirked.

"Oh well, she might not have any plans for now, but maybe, in the future she will…"

"Darn! What the heck are you thinking! Will you just shut your disgusting mouth up since you're not making any sense at all!" Syaoran shrieked really irritated. He glared at Eriol before fluttering his eyes closed again.

"Oh, so you don't wanna talk about that… I see…" Eriol chuckled slightly, his voice in a pestering tone. Syaoran clenched his hands into fists and was about punch his cousin but before he can, Eriol got out of the car.

"I'll get some coffee for the both of us, just wait here…" Eriol left immediately.

Syaoran hurriedly stood to sit right after Eriol left him. 'Well, he's very right about that… What if Sakura gets a boyfriend, she will surely forget about me and would no longer spend time with me…' He sighed and contemplated for seemed like half an hour.

"Darn, what took that stupid Hiirigazawa so long?" He looked out the window beside him to check on his cousin but found no nearby coffee shop in that direction. He crawled to the other side of the car to check on the opposite window but as he was creeping, his hand landed on one vibrating thing that took him aback.

"Crap, what's that?" He giggled to himself upon realizing that the thing was just Sakura's cell phone. Sakura's cell phone… His amber orbs had that avenging sparkle and his lips had that evil grin. He hastily flipped her phone open and started searching it…

After 30 more minutes…

Eriol ran as fast as he can towards the car as the tiny pour out of water from the sky turned into big droplets. He stepped in and handed Syaoran his cup of coffee.

"It was too crowded in there and I even had to wait for… Wait a minute, what happened to you?" Eriol asked bewilderedly, looking at his cousin confused. "What the heck is wrong with you Syaoran-kun? You look like crazy smiling to yourself."

Syaoran chortled, making Eriol a lot more confused. "Freeze, couz… Nothing happened, it's just that I found Sakura's cell phone in here… She left it…"

"And so? What's with that?"

"Hmmnn… Nothing really, I just found a lot of my pictures in it and I even found the video of our first soccer game. All saved in here." He enunciated, playing with her phone and still having that delightful smile. Eriol sweatdropped.

"So, that's it?"

"Yup…"

Eriol's jaw dropped. "Oh my gosh, love can really make a person insane…" He shook his head off.

"What did you just said?"

"Nothing!"

"Careful Sakura…" The lads haven't even noticed the two girls coming. Tomoyo guided her cousin to the backseat of the car, aiding extra-care with the latter's right foot. Sakura gently sat in, slowly folding her leg and laying her right foot on the seat. Tomoyo then hopped on the car and sat beside the driver's. Eriol and Syaoran looked at each other, both having that worried look.

"Sakura-chan, what happened to your foot?" Eriol managed to ask. Syaoran moved closer to her, offering his cup of coffee to Sakura.

"Sakura sprained her ankle." Tomoyo answered the previous question as she eyed at Eriol with anxiety visible on her ghostly face.

"What! What the heck happened, Sakura? I told you to be careful didn't I?" Syaoran shrieked uneasy. Sakura smiled slightly at him.

"I'm fine. It wasn't my fault at all, it was a mere accident." She explained meekly.

"Yah, she's right… It's that beef-headed mysterious girl's fault!" Tomoyo started aggravated. "Well, that imbecilic girl was on a hurry that she didn't even noticed us on the way that she "accidentally" yanked Sakura hard that she almost fell on that fountain, but oh well she managed to balance herself but unfortunately, she wrenched her ankle." Tomoyo said exceedingly, she was apparently exasperated.

"Chill out, Tomoyo-chan, I'm fine… You know me, this single fracture can't stop me from going to our vacation… And besides, I have Syaoran here with me… He would carry me everywhere I go… Right Syao-kun?" She chuckled reassuringly. Tomoyo hushed down and managed to smile at her cousin and Eriol did the same.

"Of course I'll be your guide!" Syaoran acknowledged. "I'll do that in exchange for taking "a lot" of pictures of me and for recording "my" very first soccer game…" He continued, emphasizing on some words. Sakura's eyes widened as her cheeks flushed.

"Why you idiot, AHHHH!"
