A Love Story- By Aneko-chan
Summary: Kinomoto Sakura is a 16 year old tomboy and a very beautiful one. Even though she was a tomboy, the whole male population would swoon around her and would ask her out. She rejects them. But then one day her father tells her that she’s engaged to a certain boy called Li Syaoran.
Recap from Chapter 11:
In an unknown place, there lies a girl who has auburn hair and emerald eyed girl. Her knees are close to her chest and her arms are wrapped around her legs. The girl’s cheek was dark red, still sore from pain. You could see dried tears and her eyes are covered by her bangs.
“…I want to die…” She whispered to the wind. “…Someone precious hurt me so badly…that it makes me want to die…” She whispered some more and more new tears appears, flowing down her cheek.
“When is this going to end…?!?” She said as she screamed out her pain and listens as her own voice echos, as she notice that no one was there, no one to talk to about her pain. This made her more sad and soon after she buried her head and cried more and more.
Chapter 12: The Tears Won’t Stop
Touya ran back and forth Tomoeda searching for Sakura. He panted and searched for her hours and hours. It’s been 5 hours already, 8 PM at night.
Where could she be? That gaki must’ve done something really awful to her to make her disappear for a full day. And it seems that he didn’t come home either. If I see him, I’ll RIP his guts out and FEED him to the dogs. He deserves it.
Touya snarled angrily. Where in the world could she be?! It’s getting cold too. It’s almost winter and Sakura’s only in her school uniform. Touya got worried.
“Where in the world could she be?!?!” He muttered to himself until his eyes widened.
She could’ve went there… He thought and quickly went into his car and drove as fast as he can.
Syaoran was at Yumiko’s house. He knew he couldn’t go back to Sakura’s house or else he’ll be beaten by her older brother or even scolded by her father. If his mother finds out…he shivered. He didn’t even want to know what’ll she do to him.
But…now…it just happened in a second. He never knew that he could slap someone this hard before. He stared at his hand as it trembled. He quickly used his other hand to stop the trembling when Yumiko entered with a cup of water.
“Here. You’ve been under a lot of stress. Here’s a cup of water.” She said sitting down besides him. Syaoran took it and took a sip. Yumiko started talking.
“I…never knew you would do that.” She said. Syaoran looked at her.
“Do what?”
“Slap her.”
“Oh.”
“I guess you really did take it that seriously huh?”
“…I slapped her too hard.” Yumiko looked at Syaoran.
“From the looks of it, you haven’t slapped a girl in your life, haven’t you?” Syaoran shook his head.
“It…was my first time…and it also had to be my fiancee too.” He said. Yumiko sighed.
“What’s done is done. Hey, now you’re supposed to be dating me. You should be happy.” She said. Syaoran looked at her.
“Why? Why should I be happy? You’re the one who said..said that to me.” Yumiko scoffed.
“And I meant it too.” She said. Syaoran glared at her.
“Don’t you do anything to her or else!” He shouted at her.
“Or else what then?”
“I’ll go after you.” He said coldly and walked up the stairs. Yumiko frowned.
“Don’t worry. If you won’t betray me, then I won’t do anything.” She whispered.
Tomoyo called Eriol. She was in her limo, searching for Sakura.
“Did you find her yet?” She asked worriedly.
“No. Do you know anywhere she could’ve gone to?” He asked. Tomoyo thought a bit until her eyes widened.
“She could’ve went there.”
“Where?”
“…her mother’s grave.” She quickly turned to the driver.
“Quickly! To the cemetery!” She said. Eriol quickly looked around for a taxi. But then, there was not one taxi passing by. He sighed. Guess he’ll have to run. So he did.
Sakura, was lying her back on the tombstone of her mother’s. Whenever Sakura gets depressed, she would always go to her mother’s tombstone to talk. Even if her mother’s gone. Sakura shivered.
“It’s getting cold…everyone’ll be worried about me…” She muttered. She wiped the remaining tears away and looked at the dark sky with determined eyes.
“Alright! Now that my depression’s gone, I’ll start a new life without that idiot! He’s gone, never to appear again in a special place in my heart.” She grinned and then gave a sneeze. Someone clapped. She turned around to see Touya, smirking like always.
“Great job saying that two sentence speech. Now let’s get you home, everyone’s worried about you.” He said. Sakura grinned.
“Yeah, I know. Sorry for causing so much trouble.” She said. Touya ruffled her hair.
“I heard he slapped you.” Sakura eyes widened and then closed her eyes.
“Yeah. So what? It didn’t hurt that much. Besides, if I ever see him again, I’m going to--” She couldn’t finish it cause Touya pulled her onto him and hugged her.
“If you want to cry, you can.” He said. Sakura’s eyes widened and closed her eyes.
“Sorry, I can’t.” She said. This made Touya look at Sakura with weird eyes.
“What do you mean by you can’t?” Sakura looked up at him, grinning tomboyishly.
“I wasted all my tears already on him. Nothing you can do about it.” She said. Touya’s eyes widened and then softened.
“Come on. Let’s go home. Dad’s waiting for us.” He said. Sakura nodded happily and walked after him.
“W-WAIT!!” Sakura and Touya turn around to see Tomoyo and Eriol, panting.
“SAKURA-CHANNN!” Tomoyo wailed out as she ran to hug Sakura tightly. Sakura tried to tell Tomoyo that she couldn’t breathe but no words came out.
“I was worried about you!! Don’t do that to me AGAIN! You got that?!” She said. Sakura’s face turned red.
“Tomoyo, I think you’re choking her.” Eriol pointed out as Tomoyo looked at Sakura and quickly let go.
“Gomen ne Sakura-chan! I couldn’t help myself…I was so worried about you that I couldn’t eat anything..” Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled.
“I’m sorry for worrying you.” She said and looked at Eriol. “And you too Eriol.” Eriol smiled.
“No problem. I’m just glad to see you okay.” He said. Touya coughed.
“Can we just go now? It’s getting cold.” He said. All three of them left, giggling and smiling.
The next day of school…
Sakura enters by herself, in her school uniform quietly and sits down on her desk. This is the first time she’s ever on time to class so she’s proud. She sits down quietly waiting for Tomoyo and Eriol to appear. At first, she thought she heard whispering around her and shrugged it away. Until she heard the whispering more clearly.
“Hey, isn’t that Kinomoto Sakura?”
“Yeah, she’s the one who got dumped and slapped by Li Syaoran.”
“She must’ve been very upset…” Sakura glared at the group of people who whispered to each other. The group of girls shivered and quickly left the room. Sakura sighed. She already got over it, why was with it the rumors?
She heard someone enter the room. She quickly turned around to look who it was, thinking it was Tomoyo. But she guessed wrong. It was…
Li Syaoran.
Tears forming in her eyes, Sakura blinks in order for them to keep them in. She’s not going to cry. She gave up already. Or did she? Maybe she thinks she does, but her heart wouldn’t let her. What does it want from her? Sakura and Syaoran’s eyes met.
One with pure hatred and one without emotions.
