Chapter 1

.:. School Fight

An auburn-haired girl stormed out of the bathroom, leaving the door behind with a loud bang. Her green emerald eyes glowed with anger. She clutched her fists tightly, trying to hold her temper. There was a small dot of dark green paint on her silky white school blouse which has a big red mixed with black shapped ribbon around the collar. Droplets of water were dripping from her wet silky auburn hair. She looked like someone who just had a bath with her clothes on.

That guy is sooo gonna pay for this! She thought silently, clenching her teeth.

"Sakura, wait!" A sweet angel-like voice called out her name.

Sakura was too busy cursing someone that she didn't bother to look back. She just kept on walking across the corridor at the same time hoping that the people around would just ignore her. Unfortunately, she was more than visible to them. Each eyes she passed were paying full attention towards her with their oh my goodness did she fell into the toilet bowl faces.

This is totally embarrassing! I am sooo gonna kill him! She grasped her fists tighter, closing her eyes and fastened her past.

"Heeeey, wait up!" The young girl who was chasing her since just now made a sudden stop. Hands on her knees. She was gasping for air. Her long wavy purple hair was left untied which revealed her angelic appearance. Her front hair was pinned with two purple glittering star pins on each side. She was trying to catch up with Sakura while avoiding the people around and then she saw Sakura was storming back into the classroom.

"Oh, great! Just the last thing that I wanted," she whispered under her breathes at the same time sighing.

Sakura stormed into the classroom. Her emerald eyes were searching wildly around as if a prey was looking for its victim when she saw a group of boys laughing hysterically at a corner. She caught a glimpse of a messy chestnut-haired guy in the middle of the group and dashed towards him, pushing the others to the side.

"Li, you idiot! Apologize now!" she commanded to the chestnut-haired guy which seemed to be called 'Li'.

The group which had stopped laughing by the time she interrupted in now seemed to lay their eyes on her as if she was some kind of magnetic forces.

"Whoa, Kinomoto! What the heck happened to you?" he asked as he scanned the girl's appearance. He wanted to burst out laughing but somehow it just stuck in his throat.

"What happened to me?! Are you blind or what?!" Sakura rolled her eyes at him. Or do you need me to poke your eyes?! She added but kept it in her thoughts.

The guy stayed silent for a while. He brushed his messy chestnut hair as his attracting amber eyes looking at the petite figure in front of him with full intense.

"Hmm...Did you somehow, fell into the toilet bowl Sakura?" There was a big sign of question mark on his face. He didn't seemed as if he was making a stupid joke but the others just burst out laughing as he said so.

Sakura bit her red cherry lips. She felt her rosy cheeks beginning to become hotter and hotter as if the was a small flame burning in them. Her heart beats faster. She glared into his amber eyes. Did you have amnesia or what?! She wanted to scream at him.

"You told me you were sorry for dropping the palette on my uniform and I can't believe that I actually believed a jerk like you!" she shouted, letting go of her anger inside.

"Hey, watch your mouth you young lady. I am not-a-jerk, okay? Besides, I really am sorry for that," he defended himself, somewhat didn't sounded quite convincing or sincere.

Actually, I wanted to pour the paint on her auburn hair but somehow that stupid palette just slipped from my hand and to my surprise it landed on her uniform though my target was actually her hair. He let out a small laugh in his thoughts. Anyway, that was that. I couldn't believe that I, Syaoran Li, the only heir of Li Clan actually apologized to an ill-mannered girl like her! That will be the first and the last. I swear myself this!

Sakura was silent. Her lips moved but she didn't say any word out nor did she open her mouth to speak. She didn't even blink her eyes. She was just standing there, a few inches away from him, staring as if she was going to kill him by just staring at him like that.

"What?" Syaoran asked when he realized that she was staring at him with her emerald eyes which he usually found them...enchanting.

"You didn't think that I purposely did it as bait does you? So you would go to the bathroom to clean yourself up so Meiling and her gang could spray you with water..." he paused while examining her again. "...well...umm...which explains why you are all wet?"

Damn! That was a good conclusion, Li! Way to go! He gave himself a clap in his thought.

"Well done, Li. You just admit it," Sakura's voice was softened a bit but filled with disappointment.

Huh? Syaoran had a blank expression on his face. Then his eyes went wide-opened.

"Don't tell me that-" Syaoran's jaw dropped. No way! The possibility of my conclusion to be true is that...it's damn good to be true! Now she's standing in front of me staring with her emerald eyes saying that it is 100 true! Great! You just dig yourself a grave, Li! Thanks to your 'clever' conclusion!

"Sakura, I was just-"

"Don't you ever, EVER...call me Sakura anymore!" she cut him off, emphasizing on the word ever. Without giving a single warning, she stepped with all her might on Syaoran's left foot causing him to groan and immediately pulled his foot up, jumping up and down on the other foot. The other boys who were surrounding them at all times gave him their aww...that's totally gonna hurt looks.

"Why did you do that?!" Syaoran knelt on one knee, looking up at Sakura with his innocent babyish face.

"It's a tit for tat. After all you did, you're considered lucky that I didn't choke you till death," Sakura said without showing any expression on her face.

"Sakura, Syaoran didn't actually-" A blue-haired guy with a pair of glittering blue eyes was about to say when he was quickly cut off by the purple-haired girl.

"Shut up you moron! We have our own business to deal with!" She glared at him with her amethyst eyes and dragged him towards the other corner forcefully.

"Phew! There goes Eriol..." The crowd sighed. Tomoyo's a very sweet little angel actually but sometimes, she just had to be freaking scary.

Sakura took a glace at Syaoran before she turned to leave. Just as she did that, a hard painful smack landed on her left cheek, leaving a red mark on it. Shit! That's hurt! Sakura groaned but just kept it to herself.

"That should teach a junior like you for messing up with my boyfriend!" The voice sounded gentle yet threatening and filled with hatred.

Sakura turned her face towards the voice while rubbing her cheek. A few inches away from her stood a petite figure with a pair of red blood eyes glaring into her emerald ones with jealousy. She was slightly taller than Sakura and her long black jet hair was curled up, showing the bareness of her neck.

"Aww...hottie's here," The crowd murmured.

"I am-not-your boyfriend!" Syaoran shouted with his childish voice, denying. He stood up behind Sakura which made him looks as if he was on her side and she was protecting him.

"But Syaoran-"

SMACK! A hard slap landed on her cheek. She rolled he eyes disbelievingly. "How dare you-"

SMACK! Another harder slap landed on her other cheek. The similarities are that both of her cheeks now have red marks which obviously being labelled as 'I've been slapped twice.'

"That Meiling, is for spraying me with water in the bathroom and not to forget, also for slapping me just now which made them two," Sakura smiled, sign of satisfaction and victory.

Bravo! Way to go, Sakura! That's my girl! Syaoran wanted to cheer out but he thought it was better for him to remain silent instead of putting himself in the fight especially when it was that two girls were fighting there.

"You're so dead, Kinomoto!"

Meiling jumped towards Sakura, trying to strangle her. Sakura who was shocked by Meiling's sudden action took a step behind in order to defend herself but heard Syaoran's groaning again because she accidentally stepped on Syaoran's left foot that was hurt once. Being unable to balance himself because Sakura was on his foot and Meiling was strangling Sakura and kept on forcing her towards him, Syaoran at last fell on the floor followed by Sakura who was falling on his chest and as for Meiling, she managed to throw herself beside those two but still, she fell on the floor though. Everyone could hear them groaning and cursing under their breathes.

"I'm sure you have the explanation to this, Miss Kinomoto and Miss Li. Oh, you too down there Mr.Li."

That voice sounded familiar. Wait a second. The three of them thought when suddenly something stroke in their minds. "PRINCIPAL!"
