Chapter 3-: 25 Percent in Love
"Oh my god! HOW KAWAII!! Guys look at this!" squealed a musical voice.
"Tomoyo is Syaoran back?" asked a soft masculine voice.
"Well, well, looks like my dear cousin, finally got some action." Said a Baritone voice.
"Shut up, Eriol. I think it's a good thing!" snapped a chime of bells.
I tore my gaze away from those amber pools, to the general direction of the voices. Before I could see who is was Li had brought me behind him, as if protecting me from impending doom. He kept my hand in his, and glared at the people in front of him he also remained in his defensive stance.
"Don't do anything to scare her." He said protectively.
"Oh, honey, I just want to see the cute little kitten; Nothing to be afraid of. Besides, would you rather I tell your adorable sisters?" replied the musical voice.
"Aww! Isn't that just cute, he's protecting her!" squealed the chime of bells.
Li sighed, but kept his eyes on the girl. "Ying Fa, are you mentally prepared?"
Well that's a stupid question. After a kiss, and those smouldering eyes, was I mentally prepared to handle everything thrown at me? The answer was hell no. "Of course, what can be worse than you?"
He gave me a slight smile at my answer and cautiously moved aside but kept close just in case. I smiled as the gorgeous girls from this morning came into view. There was the girl with long raven hair, which was styled with perfection, contrasting with her pale skin. She smiled at me, her eyes twinkling mischievously, as she gave me an enthusiastic hug, pulling me free of Li's hand. "You are so cute, Sakura-chan!"
I struggled to breathe in her tight hug. "T-thanks."
She released me and said, "Where are my manners, I'm Daidouji Tomoyo. I'm the president of Culture Activities in this school. And this is Li Meiling the treasurer of student council." She pointed towards the navy haired god from earlier this morning. "The guy with the glasses is my hubby, Hiiragizawa Eriol the vice president of Student council. And the guy with the black hair is Sugimoto Naozumi, the president of the Athletics Department. Say hello guys."
"Hey." Was the simple reply of the black hair god with a soft voice, he had really calm eyes, and his facial expression remained impassive.
"Nice to meet you, my dear cousin-in-law.", Greeted the baritone voice, causing me to turn a deep shade of pink.
"Shut up Eriol!" snapped Li, from beside me.
I smiled at them politely, "Nice to meet you, I'm as you know, Kinomoto Sakura. I'm really sorry about taking that picture this morning."
They all smiled at that, the god with the blue hair said, "It allowed us to meet you, and I think that's a pretty good trade."
"Where is the secretary then?" I asked as curiosity got the better of me.
"They transferred school last week. We are looking for one though." Replied the same god.
"Oh.", Said Daidouji-san softly. And before I knew it, she was twisting me around and taking measurements. "Long legs." She mumbled as she measured the length of my legs, pulling them apart slightly. "Nice arm length" she muttered as she moved quickly onto my arms. "Flat waist." She said as she placed a hand on my stomach. "Wow, abs… Fair skin, Proportional head, Soft hands, big eyes, Virgin hair, Long eyelashes, and Pink lips." She stepped back and grinned. "You're perfect! Mei, honey what do you think? She's perfect isn't she?"
Okay, so this is a bit odd. No wonder, Li was so cautious of them.
The ebony haired goddess glided over to me, and stretched my arms out and probed my upper arm with her fingers, "Hmm… muscles" she moved down to my hand, feeling my palm and finger tips with her hand, "good grip… you're right Tomoyo, she does have a good body."
"I know! I'm thinking she'll be the perfect model for my summer line." Exclaimed Daidouji-san as she clasped her hands happily.
"You are not turning her into a princess. She has the perfect build for kyudo." Said Li-san which she retorted,
"No way in hell, are you turning this goddess into… a punk like you?"
Did she just call me a goddess? Oh, wow… I don't think I can be compared to them. Geez… I feel so giddy!
"I'm a punk?! Then what are you, oh goddess of beauty?"
"Like you said, I am the Goddess of Beauty."
"I beg for your forgiveness, Goddess Aphrodite." Was Li-san's sarcastic reply.
Daidouji-san raised a delicate eyebrow, and. "You are forgiven, my dear Artemis."
Well should I interfere? I mean they were arguing about me. And I'm not sure that this would end. I glanced over to Li, who looked slightly annoyed. I glanced over to; whom I would call the Poseidon, the god of the oceans (since we were on the topic of Greek gods). He had a smile and seemed fairly amused, and didn't want to intrude on the two girls. I then turned to look at the dark haired god, (I would think he's best suited as Hermes, the god of the road, in terms of athletics) he looked as impassive as before, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. Well, the answer was obvious, these guys were not about to help.
"Hmm… I think you should, Sakura." Said Saku as she popped onto my right shoulder.
"Not quiet sure about that, then they'll turn to her and it can go way downhill from there." Said Kura, as she too popped onto my left shoulder.
Great, the angel and devil duo return.
"But, she just met them! She has to be nice."
"Saku, if she does that she may be putting herself up against hell."
"You're so selfish!"
"Guys; we don't have time for this, help me make a proper decision." I hissed very softly so that no one would hear.
"Whoa! Someone's all prissy after getting a kiss." Snapped as Kura poof-ed out.
"Sakura, just because you got kissed, you shouldn't get that cocky, and hiss at your guardians. It is bad manners, you know." Was Saku's curt reply before, she too poof-ed out.
I rolled my eyes, some guardians.
I sighed, knowing that I would have to talk to the two girls. I mentally prepared myself and cleared my throat. "Uh, ladies…" The two goddesses stopped arguing and looked in my direction. I gulped slowly, "…no offence but lunch is going to be over in half an hour and you still haven't eaten…"
The two blinked and then smiled, "We are so sorry! Sometimes we get a bit caught up in the moment."
"We're not usually like that."
"It's just when it comes to kyudo vs. fashion, we get kind of…"
"Touchy." Said Artemis as she finished Aphrodite's sentence. She smiled at me apologetically.
"Hope, we didn't scare you or anything."
I smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, but to tell you the truth. I won't be able to participate in either of those activities. I have work everyday after school." I glanced up and saw that everyone was surprised by my refusal, even Hermes (well... okay very slightly surprised, then he went back to the expressionless face).
"Whoa! Is this a rejection I hear?" dramatically asked Li. "Wow, it is. The two most popular girls in the school were just denied." He stated as he crossed his hands in front of his chest. "You really are one intriguing creature, Ying Fa." I shot him a quick glare.
"I have to hand it to you, not many people have refused these two—actually this is the first time I have witnessed such a thing." Said Poseidon.
"I didn't mean to offend you, but I help out around the animal hospital, so, it's kind of important that I am there for the animals. That's what I really meant." I said feeling bad.
"You work at the Hunter Mill Veterinary clinic, with Tsukishiro-san?" Hermes asked. I was a bit surprised to hear that he knew Yuki-chan.
I nodded, "Yes, I do, but how did you know that?"
He smiled very slowly, "I have my connections. You can always take a fewer shifts."
Li narrowed his eyes and said, "I know that smile, Sugimoto. You just want to make your girlfriend get what she wants. You're whipped. Whatever has happened to the cold shoulder, uncaring Sugimoto that we all knew and loved?"
"Don't bad mouth my baby, Syaoran. At least he found love, unlike you." Artemis said, quickly defending Hermes.
Li's lips twisted into an evil smirk. I actually raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Well, dear cousin, I should just let you know that I experienced love before you."
My eyebrows must have gone up two inches higher. "But then…. Why did you k-kiss me?" I said before I could thoroughly think. I immediately clamped my mouth with my hands, with the sudden realisation.
"What?!" "No way!" "Wow." "Finally." ensued almost immediately from the four gods and goddess in front of me. My cheeks immediately flooded with pink; me and my big mouth.
Syaoran just sighed, and threw his head back, before giving me, the why-did-you-tell-them look. I laughed nervously.
"Wait, then that means, that you're the—" before Artemis could finish her sentence, Li had placed a long hand on her mouth.
"What? Why don't you let her talk Li?" I asked.
"Maybe it's not something you want to hear Ying Fa."
"Why wouldn't I? It's about me. I have every right to know." I retorted.
"Maybe it's something I want you to figure out yourself. If someone tells you, then there is no point." He countered.
"If I may be so bold as to interrupt, but Kinomoto-san, you are aware that we are in need of a secretary…" Poseidon said slowly, with a slight glint in his eyes.
Aphrodite crossed her arms gracefully across her chest, and continued with Poseidon's sentence, "… we do need someone to fill in the position immediately, especially with the winter festival coming up…"
"Your academic records show that you are more than capable of taking on such a task." Said Hermes, as he glanced over to Li cousins, with the same smile as before.
Artemis moved Li's hand off to say, "Besides, it's not after school. And, maybe whatever it is that Syaoran wants you to remember, you would. After all, by spending time with him, and of course us—"
"You'll be able to have a little, but not too much of excitement in your life." Finished the raven haired goddess. She clasped her hand together and sighed in happiness.
"Hey, we can't just let her in, it's not like a club, and this is the student council! The teachers decide that."
"Pish-posh. Like that really matters." Said Daidouji-san a.k.a. Aphrodite.
"We are a democracy, how about a vote?" asked Poseidon. He glanced around, and then smiled, "All in favour raise your hand."
Immediately four hands shot up, I blinked a few times in surprise, why did they want me to be there? I understood why Li wanted me to be there, but why did everyone else?
"Well, then it's decided, Sakura-chan will be the secretary." Said Hermes as he smiled and glanced over to Li-san to give her a wink.
My mouth dropped open. Well, they really had a weird way of solving such an issue.
Li sighed, "I guess it is okay then. Besides, I get to spend more time with Ying Fa. I'll talk to the teachers. Let's eat guys, I'm hungry."
"I made some tempura." Said Hermes as he moved his arm and wrapped it around Artemis
"Naozumi did you make any miso soup?" asked Poseidon as he started to lead everyone into the student council room.
"Why don't you eat with them, before you start thinking up some odd excuse?" asked Saku as she popped onto my right shoulder.
"Not mad anymore?" I whispered back.
"A bit, but you should always forgive. Anyways, Sakura, you should eat."
"I don't know… I could finish my homework instead." I said a little too loudly, causing Li to turn towards me. I blushed lightly in embarrassment, and whispered very quietly, "Saku… I like them, but I don't think I'm ready to tell them everything about me."
Saku smiled softly, "I'm glad that your thinking of letting them know everything about you."
I smiled too in response, "You've seen them, and they are too interesting to give up by my stubbornness."
"Who seems interesting?" asked Li all of a sudden as he whispered into my ear.
Saku giggled before she poof-ed out.
I gasped as I jumped back, only to get tangled up by my own feet. I knew I was going to hit the ground. And I was going to hit it fast and hard. I closed my eyes tightly, bracing myself for pain. But… oddly enough it did not come.
I slowly opened one eye, and felt a hand warped around my waist, while another on my wrist. I then opened my other eye as well. I was accosted by those worried eyes. I felt my heart beat rapidly against my chest. A slow smirk appeared on the heavenly face as I tried to shake the feeling away.
"Did I startle you that much, Ying Fa?" that voice asked.
I quickly took back my balance and lightly pushed him away. "Thanks." I simply mumbled, trying to not embarrass myself anymore. However, as soon as I regained my stance, I felt my ankle buckle a little. I quickly caught myself, and pretended that hadn't happened. I began to walk towards the room again.
But my hand held me back. I raised my eyebrow and looked down to my hand only to see a larger hand holding it. I turned around and looked at Li. "What?"
"You're hurt."
"Huh?" no sooner had I said that, that I was picked up from my waist and balanced on his shoulder. "H-h-hoee…" I stuttered.
"Don't you understand? You're important to me. I wouldn't have kissed you if I didn't mean it. So when you get hurt, I do." He answered seriously as he took me inside the room is such an embarrassing way.
This caused me to blush a hot pink. I hid my face using my hand, pretending to hold back my hair from going into my eyes. Damn… I was falling for the guy, and I was falling fast.
