Syaoran: It is a S+S fic!!!

On with it...

****************************************************************************

(The day of their meeting...Friday) -If you don't remember, they were
suppose to meet at Syaoran's apartment on Friday...-

After school, Sakura went shopping with Tomoyo and they talked a lot about
what happenned in the park 2 days ago.

"Don't worry Sakura. It could just be a BIG misunderstanding. He loves you!"
Tomoyo said

"Do you think? It would be normal that he likes Stacey better than me! She's 
a rose and I'm only a cherry blossom!" Sakura said, taking her favourite
way to look at things in her situation.

"Don't be stupid Sakura! You know that he loves you. And cherry blossoms are 
different than roses, but they're as great and even better! And you're the
greatest cherry blossom!" Tomoyo said, thinking it truly.

"Thank you so much Tomoyo, you're always there for me" Sakura replied

"I hate to see you sad Sakura. And even more to see you sad because of a
stupid barbie who thinks she is a goddess and that she's Miss popularity
and (Tomoyo took a bitchy voice) Oh I'm great hahaha! (laughing stupid)"

Sakura giggled and Tomoyo thought that she at least make her giggle so it's
better than nothing. 'I have to know what happens to Syaoran-kun' she thought

They went to a clothes store and Sakura bought a very very beautiful dress.
The dress looked like a princess dress: Indigo blue, with spagetti strips and
a little purple spagetti strip belt with a little flower in the front. The
top of the dress was ajusted to her body but the skirt was very very large.
(Kinda like the dress in the ancient times...)

"He'll just cannot resist!" Tomoyo said. That was part of her plan. She had
now a plan to put them together... 'It just couldn't fail...' she thought. 

"I hope you're right!" she sighed sadly

"I'm right! I'm always right!" she said playfully

"Oh right Tomoyo-SAMA!" Sakura said with a grin

"C'mon! We have to go to my place before it's too late. You don't want to
be late this time, don't you?" Tomoyo asked seriously

"No! Let's go!" Sakura answered and they went to the Daidouji's residence.
Tomoyo's mother wasn't there because she had a dinner with her new flame.
(A.N. In my story, nobody's alone so everybody's happy!)

An hour or so later, Sakura was dressed up in her new dress and Tomoyo was
still fixing Sakura's hair. Finally, after a long time, Sakura was ready.

"See? I was right! You're perfect!" Tomoyo said looking at Sakura like an 
artist his paintings "You're absolutely perfect!"

"Thank you. I just hope that Syaoran-kun will think the same thing as you..."
she said sadly

"He'll think the same thing! Everybody would think the same thing! Let's go,
Cinderella, you're ready to meet you're prince tonight..." Tomoyo said

"Yeah! Thank you Tomoyo. I'll do my best. Thanks for evrything." Sakura said
with a regained joy.

"My pleisure, really. Just one more thing before you leave..." she said, 
pressing her fingers together to show how 'little' was the thing she wanted

"I will not be with you and for you, I'll not follow you..."
She didn't had the time to finish her sentence, Sakura finished it for her:

"After that, you want to know everything in details, right? Sure!" Sakura
said.

"Thank you. Now, let's go or you'll be late!" Tomoyo said

"Hey! It's just 6:30!"

"Surprise him! That will be better!" Tomoyo replied

"Yeah! See ya tomorrow!" Sakura said

"Ja ne!"

With that on, Sakura made her way to Syaoran's apartment. When, she rang the
doorbell, she was surprised that nobody answered. She rang it a second time
just to see that he wasn't there. She look at her tiny silver watch and saw
that it was now 7:15 and they were supposed to meet here at 7:00. She knew 
right away that this wasn't him to be late. She grew worried. 'What if he
isn't there? What if he forgot? No he could not forget something like that...
but what happen? Is he in danger?' She paused and concentrate on that familiar
green aura to know if he was in danger, but she didn't sensed anything wrong.

'What is he doing right now?'she thought worriedly

She concentrated on what she thought after that, maybe he'd hear her...

'Syaoran, if you hear me, please, please tell me why you didn't come to our
meeting...' she keep saying in her mind, making her way to the park.

At the park, she sat on a bench. It was a warm fall day and even if her dress
was sleeveless, she wasn't cold. She just sat there, thinking her little chant
over and over again.


(At Stacey's lair, 6:50)

"Thanks Stacey for the dinner, it was delicious." Li said

"No prob. Hey Li-kun, if you want, you could spend the night here tonight. 
You know that you're always welcome here." Stacey said

"Thanks Stace, but I think I would be better to go to my place right now." he
replied

"Ok. But remember that if you feel lonely or something you can come here."

"Thank you but I'll be ok."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." He said, walking for the door. He then turned and say:

"Do you want to come to my place tonight? It would just be normal that you come
after I spend the night here yesterday." he said 'Why am I saying that?' he
thought 'It's ok I guess, anyway it's just normal to do that, no?' 'yes'
another voice replied deep within him, a voice he never heard before. He was
on his guard when the voice spoke again 'I'm just your feelings baka, you
love her and you know that' 'Yeah, I guess...'

"Ok then. Just let me get my stuff and I'll meet you at the door in 5 minutes
ok?" Stacey said

"Ok" He replied 'Meeting? Why do this word seem familiar to me right now? He
looked at his watch to see that it was now 7:15 'Why does it sound familiar?'

Suddenly, like an answer to his questions, a voice echoed through his mind:

'Syaoran, if you hear me, please, please tell me why you didn't come to our
meeting...'

'Oh yeah! The meeting with Sakura. I think that I'd better go... but what do
I say to Stacey now? If I say that I do not want her to come at my place
tonight, she'll suspect something... Oh, Baka! Baka! Baka! What do I do now?
No I just can't tell Stacey not to come, it's too late. I have to turn the
situation to see it from another angle. If I'

But his thought were interrupt by Stacey's voice:

"Li-kun? Li-kun? Are you ok?"

"Daijoubou"

"It's better that I come with you tonight after all..." she said looking 
worried. (A.N. Yeah right, like she could be worried...)

"Let's go then." He said 'Great! It's just great! Now, she thinks that I need
help tonight too, it's just great!' he thought 'On the other hand' the voice
echoing through his mind replied to that 'You love Stacey and Sakura hates you
and it's exactly what you had to hear to move on. It was said so now MOVE ON!
You love Stacey and she cares for you so what's the problem?' 'You get a point
right now. If Sakura hates me, I don't care if she see me with another girl, 
after all, she hates me. But the problem is why? Why does she hates me? What
did I do?' Li thought 'It doesn't matter! You love Stacey so let's go!'

"Li-kun? Li-kun? Are you there? Helloooo Syaoran!"

"What? Did you say something?" 

"No, nothing, I didn't say anything really important but are you ok?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Sure?"

"Yeah I was just wandering why you're so kind towards me when I'm so rude..."

"Oh!" She blushed (A.N. FAKE!!! I HATE YOU STACEY!!! Please forgive me, I
just had enough of that girl...)"Thank you Syaoran-kun..."

"It's just that I like helping people that's all." she added 
(A.N. FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-*-cough-*-cough-*-gasping~for~air-*-cough-*-)

"Thank you. eh....Stacey?"

"Yeah?"

"Had you experienced something like that before? What I mean is that you know
so much what I passed through and... em... I..."

"Yeah. But it doesn't matter."

"I want to know please. It would confort me."

"I think you're right. I had problems like that 6 time in the past. I 
remember each one like from the very first day I met them." she sighed "I
was just so blind and stupid! (A.N. You are a LIAR!!! But it's true that 
you're stupid thought...-*-evil grin-*-)I didn't see that they would just 
play with my heart like the other...(A.N. Sorry if your name is listed below
I didn't mean to tease you or anything, I just picked up name like that...)
David, William, Alexander, Josh, Rick, Shay...Eh...I mean...Shennington. We
called him by his last name." she said but Syaoran didn't suspect anything.
' I almost named Shayne! I'm lucky that he didn't even see a thing, I hope
Shayne wasn't in my thought either...'

(He wasn't because meanwhile...)

"Hehehe! Hehehe! Soooo...funnyyyyyy! Hehehe! He...is...soooo...stupid...!
Hehehe! 'I'm your feelings' hehehe and I'm also a cow and God and Hehehe!
So...stupid!" Shayne said

He had kept contact with Syaoran by his magical powers and it was him the 
'other voice in Syaoran's mind'.

"Calm down Shayne" he said to himself "let's get some more fun of the little
wolf"


(In front of Syaoran's apartment's door, 8:00)

"Come in Stace. You can take the guest room, it's right there" he said, pointing
at a good-sized room.

"Thank you Syaoran-kun."

'Tell her how you feel baka!' the ~voice~ said.

"Stace?"

"What?"

Before he could say anything, a light flashed in front of Stacey. (A.N. kinda
like in the cave episode when they saw a light coming from the cave...)

"What was that Stacey?" he asked, being on his guard, totally forgetting
about what he wanted to say earlier

"I don't know! What was it!" she said with a half-confused, half-scared look
(fake look...)

'My powers are drained what's happenning!'

"The little cherry blossom beating the rose, surprising ne Stacey?" Sakura
said from her spot: in front of the window where she came from.

"Sakura!" Syaoran said confused

But Sakura's attention was all focused on Stacey.

"Cherry blossom! What are you doing here!" Stacey asked frustrated

Sakura didn't answer her question, she simply continued what she had to say

"You thought your little games would work this time, ne? But I'm the clow 
mistress and I won't allow you to play your little game on Syaoran, neither
on anybody else"

Stacey opened her mouth to talk, only to be interrupt by Sakura again

"How do I know that, hey? Let's say a premonition, a dream. Since I'm 3
years old, I have the same dream every year on New Year's eve. Now that I'm
16, I understand what it meant. It was just a warning to your plan. But..."

"Let me finish that one for you Sakuri" A girl dressed up in Dark blue 
said, coming from the window. "She told me her dream and the missing parts
of her dream were in mine because I have hidden powers me too."

"Who are you?" Syaoran said

"Someone you know, someone who knows you and someone who knows that you
still love Sakura."

"Who are you?" Syaoran repeated taking his sword, ready to battle the 
mysterious girl

"A girl who always use the best weapon that ever exist on Earth, subtlety"

"I was amnesic but now that I recovered all my memories, I can tell you who I
really am."

"To know who I am, you'll have to answer this riddle. Just one hint:
Expect the unexpected.


>I can be the kindest person and I can also be the meanest
>Subtlety is my quote and I use it at everything I do
>I can be your friend and I can be your worst nightmare
>You know me, but you don't. Only Sakura knows the absolute truth because
I told her today.
}Who am I?
