Chapter 3: Revenge Successful

¡§Listen, Kinomoto-san.¡¨ Syaoran said to Sakura at the lunch break. ¡§Can I please talk to you for a second?¡¨

Sakura nodded while smiling kindly at Syaoran. Syaoran involuntarily blushed and motioned for her to move outside of the classroom. Just before leaving the classroom, Syaoran waved a hand back at Eriol, who grinned happily.

¡§What¡¦s with that silly grin on your face?¡¨ Tomoyo asked Eriol, jokingly.

Just as Eriol was about to reply with a witty response of his own, a girl screamed at the top of her lungs, ¡§What¡¦s she doing with my Syaoran?¡¨

Eriol and Tomoyo looked towards to the door, where a pretty blonde girl with icy blue eyes stood, glaring at anyone daring to not answer her question.

¡§She¡¦s just talking with him.¡¨ Eriol spoke calmly to the girl.

¡§Who¡¦s this?¡¨ Tomoyo whispered to Eriol while nudging him in the stomach.

The girl, having heard the question, braggingly snuck her nose in the air and told Tomoyo, ¡§Listen closely and listen well, my name is Claire Linton, the richest and most popular girl in this school. You don¡¦t even fit to shine my shoe for me.¡¨

¡§The typical slut who tries to get close to the cool handsomest guy in the school but gets totally rejected.¡¨ Eriol murmured into Tomoyo¡¦s ear. Tomoyo blushed at their proximity and yet giggled at his choice of words.

¡¥He made this sound like a stereotypical love story, where the girl arrives at the school and gets the boy¡¦s attention. Then they start going out.¡¦ She squealed happily at this thought. ¡¥After that, a girl who likes the boy comes and fights with the main girl over the boy. But, of course, the boy ignores the other girl and loves the main girl forever and ever.¡¦ She sighed blissfully. ¡¥I hope Sakura-chan¡¦s story will become like that too, even though she is dead bent on revenge.¡¦

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura timidly followed Syaoran out into the school yard. She looked at her feet, looked at the ground covered with grass, looked at her hair, and looked at her skirt, but never once did she look at the boy beside her. ¡¥I can¡¦t give up now! I have already came this far, I must not fail.¡¦

Syaoran turned around to face her, once they reached the far end of the yard, under some big beautiful cherry blossom trees. Sakura sighed blissfully and twirled around, looking upwards at the falling petals. (A.N. Ah~ Such a typical scene, hey?) She giggled as a butterfly flew past her and was hit by one of the petals. (A.N. ¡KI don¡¦t know what I am thinking right now.) Syaoran smiled at her carefree behaviour.

Sakura suddenly gasped and turned back to Syaoran, blushing because she had nearly forgotten that Syaoran was there with her.

¡§Sorry,¡¨ she apologised shyly. ¡§I really like cherry blossoms. They are after all my namesake.¡¨

¡§It¡¦s okay.¡¨ His smile changed into a smirk as he confessed, ¡§I love them too, especially the one right in front of me.¡¨

¡§Hoe?¡¨ Sakura exclaimed softly as she looked around herself, finding no cherry blossom in front of Syaoran.

¡§I meant you, silly.¡¨ Syaoran laughed whole-heartedly at her and tweaked her nose. She pouted loveably at him, causing him to turn serious. ¡§Listen, I am sorry about what I did before, how about I make it up to you?¡¨

¡§H¡KHoe?¡¨ Sakura stuttered.

¡§I love it when you say that, it¡¦s so cute.¡¨ Sakura¡¦s normally tanned face went exceedingly red. ¡§I am saying would you still want to go out with me?¡¨

¡§Hoe!¡¨ Sakura took a deep breath and answered properly but quickly, ¡§Sure, I would love to!¡¨

A boyishly handsome grin became plastered on his equally boyishly handsome face. He then excitedly scooped Sakura up and kissed her right on the lips. Sakura moaned as he deepened the kiss accordingly.

When they parted for air, Syaoran spun in fast circle with a giggling Sakura in his arms. He let her down and his hand was in hers as she pulled him back across the grassy field, running.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They entered the classroom together, huffing, when suddenly Sakura shouted, ¡§Ha! I made it before you!¡¨ She did, of course, have an unusually crimson face straight after that, caused by the people staring questioningly at her.

Immediately, the blushing Sakura landed in Tomoyo¡¦s hold and was dragged away to a corner of the room. On the other hand, Eriol took hold of a cheery Syaoran to the other corner of the room.

¡§So, what happened?¡¨ Eriol and Tomoyo asked their respective best friends.

¡§Well, Syaoran kind of¡K¡¨ Sakura answered dreamily to Tomoyo.

¡§¡Kasked her out again¡K¡¨ Syaoran replied to Eriol.

¡§We kissed and¡K¡¨

¡§We made up.¡¨

¡§Ok?¡¨ They finished off together. Claire, who was listening to the jolly Syaoran, fumed in pure hatred and anger toward the potential-boyfriend-dash-crush-stealer.

She stomped nosily over to where Sakura was talking with Tomoyo. Sakura looked up when Claire appeared at the edge of her desk. Claire glared at her and slapped her, yelling, ¡§How could you just steal Syaoran from me!¡¨ (A.N. Typical, typical, but I cannot be bothered!)

Pain caused tears to swell up in Sakura¡¦s memorizing emerald eyes. Half the class, mostly boys, started shouting and Syaoran immediately went over to where Claire and Sakura were. He bend down to Sakura and caressed her red cheek, saying ¡§Hey, you alright?¡¨

Sakura nodded awkwardly as Syaoran was still holding onto her cheek. He stood up to Claire and threatened her, ¡§I was never yours, and if you keep hurting my girlfriend, Sakura, you will have to answer to me! Understand?¡¨

Claire huffed indignantly and replied back, ¡§I don¡¦t get why you would have her as your girlfriend, she is a ¡¥nobody¡¦, and she used to be fat and ugly.¡¨

¡§She isn¡¦t a ¡¥nobody¡¦ and if you paid attention to half the class, you would realise that they are objecting YOUR actions. Also, the keyword you used was ¡¥used to¡¦ but she isn¡¦t now. I would deal say she is ten times more beautiful than you now, especially with your unsightly attitudes and manners.¡¨

Claire snarled at them and turned away dramatically. Sakura caught Syaoran¡¦s eyes and smiled a silent, yet pleasing ¡¥thank you¡¦, also mouthing ¡§I love you.¡¨ to Syaoran. Syaoran smiled and bend down again, then kissed her on her bruised cheek, causing her to blush a lovely, but less bright pink colour.

The class quickly got out their ¡¥oh¡¦s and ¡¥ah¡¦s and the boys got out their wolf whispers at them. There were a few people cheering¡Kmainly Tomoyo and Eriol. The class only stopped when the teacher came into the class and stared at them enquiringly at the sudden quietness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the next year, Sakura and Syaoran became the best couple in the whole school. They went on dates all the time. It was so plain that they loved each other too much to care about other things. Claire could not even be bothered with the ignorant Syaoran anymore, so she left them in peace.

The relationship went well, too well in Sakura¡¦s opinion. She knew if he did anymore sweet or nice things, she need not be able to get her revenge. Though, she knew that Syaoran would not care less if she was ugly and fat like before, because they got to know each other a lot this time round.

Sakura almost forgot all about her revenge and problems until one fateful day, right before she needed to go back to Japan. (A.N. OH~ the trouble starts!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a bright, sunny day; there were no grey clouds in sight, the temperature was just warm, there was a nice calming wind flowing through the busy town of Hong Kong.

Sakura and Syaoran were on another date as usual. However, today, Syaoran was sweating profoundly because he was for some reason nervous about this date. They were at a secluded park with a nice lake in the centre and they were going to have a picnic in front of the lake.

Syaoran grimaced as he felt a small box in his pant pocket poked his bottom and he caught Sakura glancing at him curiously. He gave her a convincing smile and she gave back one of her most innocent, cutest and widest smile.

They have their picnic and during that time, Syaoran had nearly forgotten about the little box in his pocket and had fun spending time with his Sakura.

As they neared the end of their picnic, in the evening, Syaoran felt the urge to do what he planned to do since a long time ago. He took the box out and kneeled down in front of Sakura.

¡§Would you promise to become Mrs Li, someday soon?¡¨ Syaoran proposed sincerely with love swirling in his eyes.

¡§Oh my god!¡¨ Sakura squeaked and launched herself on him. ¡§Of¡K¡¨ Suddenly, a clear melodic tune rung out loudly in their ears, and ruined the mood. Sakura whispered a, ¡§Sorry!¡¨ before turning away to go to receive her phone call.

Syaoran tried not to eavesdrop and yet he vaguely heard her say, ¡§Oh, I miss you too, honey¡KOh yes, I¡¦ll be back soon¡KOf course I love you more than anyone in the world¡Koh yes, bye.¡¨ He felt betrayed and his heart dropped.

Sakura came back and smiled adorably at him. ¡§Who was that?¡¨ He interrogated harshly.

¡§What?¡¨ Sakura gasped at his harsh tone. ¡§It was nobody¡K¡¨

¡§Who was it?¡¨ He asked again in his insensitive tone.

¡§F¡Kf¡Kfamily¡K¡¨ Sakura stuttered and nearly burst out in tears.

¡§Ok, ok, I¡¦m sorry¡K¡¨ Syaoran apologised as he eyed her wet eyes. ¡§I¡¦m not jealous though! Anyways, as you were saying?¡¨

¡§Yes, as I was saying¡K¡¨ she restated, with an unusual glint, kind of sad and angry looking, in her eyes.

Syaoran hesitated and his mind wondered back to the phone conservation he had overheard. Nevertheless, he repeated, ¡§Will you be my wife someday soon? The daughter-in-law for my mother, the next girl to be tortured to my sisters, mother to my child or,¡¨ He winked slyly. ¡§CHILDREN?¡¨

Sakura giggled nervously and replied again, ¡§As I was saying before, of course I will! I would love to be the mother of your child¡K¡¨ (A.N. Ooooo~ Double meaning! XD) Syaoran slipped the ring from the box onto her middle finger.

Syaoran laughed joyfully, wiping his mind of Sakura¡¦s phone conversation. He swept her off her feet and into his arms. Swinging her around like a madman, he kissed her passionately and deeply. She enjoyed the supposedly last moments of happiness and warmth before she began her plans of revenge.

After awhile longer of kissing and spinning around, Syaoran let Sakura down back on her feet. He smiled at her, looking at her face, while suddenly she laughed out loud, though sounding cruel and cold.

¡§You really believe me?¡¨ Sakura asked him, glaring at him.

¡§What?¡¨ Syaoran was, naturally, startled at the abrupt change in her attitude.

¡§You really thought I would marry you after what you did to me three years ago?¡¨

¡§What?!?¡¨ This time, the word was more bewildered sounding.

¡§If I weren¡¦t pretty and dandy and well-liked, I bet that you wouldn¡¦t even glance at me, right? It¡¦s all about looks and popularity.¡¨ She laughed her cruel cold laugh again.

¡§I would and you know it.¡¨

¡§You wouldn¡¦t and you know it. After spending a year gaining your trust and making you more and more in love with me, I can finally get my revenge on you¡K¡¨ She looked upwards to the sky, tears brimmed the edge of her eyes. ¡§You have no idea what pain you put me through these few years. Well, guess what, luckily I got a nice boy to help me out and also Tomoyo-chan was there.¡¨

¡§You¡¦ve got another boy at your home?¡¨

¡§Of course I do¡Kwouldn¡¦t do much good if I had not a person to stop me from killing myself, huh?¡¨

¡§K¡Kkilling yourself?¡¨

¡§Yeah, I guess I was that depressed, though not for long.¡¨ ¡¥Because people said depression was bad for the baby.¡¦

¡§Not for long¡K?¡¨

¡§I met another boy and I still got him now¡Kso I think you should back off, round about now.¡¨ Sakura pulled off the ring on her finger and threw it at him, smirking evilly.

¡§Back off?¡¨ Syaoran started to seethe at the vengeful girl. ¡§Alright, I¡¦ll back off, and you know what I don¡¦t even want to see you again.¡¨

¡§OK then, fine with me, I have to go back to Japan soon anyhow¡KAt least I made you heart-broken like I was back then¡K¡¨ Sakura turned around, gathered her things and walked off.

Stiff as a board and as empty-hearted as Sakura was three faithful years ago, Syaoran stood next to the picnic blanket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura held back tears as she headed towards the shared dorm room of Tomoyo and her. She packed up all her stuff and wrote a short note for Tomoyo, saying she finished up here and needs to go back to Japan earlier. Also that she was sorry for leaving her behind.

After that, she immediately headed to the airport, booked a ticket on the phone on the way there.

After a short wait, she boarded the flight to Japan.

¡§Goodbye Hong Kong and goodbye Li Syaoran forever¡K¡¨
