Unrequited Love
-CHAPTER FIVE-
-Sakura's house, Saturday morning-
She slowly opened her eyes to her dimly lit room, darkened by the closed shades of her window. Slowly rising from the bed, she held her head with a frown.
She sighed, "This is getting more frequent lately..."
She dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom, reaching to teh mirror and opening the medicine cabinet there.
"I hope he won't notice," she silently prayed as she took a small package out with several bottles of pills inside.
-Downstairs-
Touya sipped his morning coffee with his trusty newspaper. He heard footsteps from teh stairs.
"Sakura, it's the weekend. Don't you ever consider sleeping in?" he asked as her form emerged into view.
"No because I'm used to waking up like this everyday. And stop asking that!"
He grinned. "Well, I'm going out later to visit Yukito for the afternoon."
"He came back from his business trip? Since when?" she asked halfway to biting her breakfast eggs on her plate.
"Since yesterday."
"And you didn't tell me!" she frowned.
"You didn't tell me to tell you in the first place," he replied cooly. She sighed. "You alright? You look pale."
"Eh? No! I'm fine," she said quickly with an added smile.
"Mm hmm...." he grinned still staring at her but then shrugged looking back at his paper. "Anyway, I might not be back for dinner so you can call take out if you want."
"Oh, okay. How about visitors?" she asked eating her food.
"NO GUYS," he warned. "Someone like that Tomoyo friend of yours is fine."
"But that's no fun," she whined.
"Either that or I'll lock you in the house."
"Meanie," she pouted.
"I don't see what you like about those guy friends of yours," he said taking another sip of coffee."
"Hey! At least they're nice, unlike you."
"I'm not falling for that. And I'm interested to hear what you have to say," he grinned.
"They're Tomoyo and Meiling's friends so I don't see why they can't be my friends. Besides, they're polite and caring."
"AHA! You like one of them don't you!?" he accused with slight annoyance.
"Huh? How do you like someone you've known for a week?" she said innocently. "And even if I did, I don't see how that's any of your business."
He scowled. "You very well know why." Before she could retaliate the phone rang.
"Ooou you are so lucky," she said before picking up teh phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Sakura!" Tomoyo's voice squealed over teh phone causing Sakura to hold it away from her ear.
"Tomoyo? How'd you get my number?"
"The phone book of course!" she replied happily while Sakura formed an 'oh' on her lips. "So are you busy today? Maybe we could go out and relax to have some fun! The others will be there too!"
She paused looking at Touya who stared back with a questioning look. "Hold on for a second Tomoyo."
"Hey, is it alright if I go out for a bit later?"
"With who?" he asked dully looking back at his paper.
"With Tomoyo."
"Hmm... fine, but if you're not back by 7, and I will cal at that time, you're not seeing daylight again."
"Yay!" she cheered and went back to teh phone. "Yeah, come by in a few. Okay, laters." And she hung up.
"But it better not be with the guys."
Sakura froze for a second before heading upstairs. and then continued walking up. "It is," she said closing her bedroom door.
She sighed and fell onto her bed staring at her timer blankly. "I'm so tired..."
-Syaoran's house-
"She said she'll go?" Meiling asked as Tomoyo hung up on teh phone.
"Yeah. She said to swing by later. Probably so she could get ready," as she sat next to her. "So, where do we go when we get to the mall?"
"Shopping!" Meiling said with upmost joy. Eriol laughed while Syaoran groaned.
"Don't you girls do anything ELSE?" Syaoran said eating a piece of bread.
"Nothing that interests us, no," Tomoyo replied.
"Then what exactly do you and Eriol do?" Meiling asked with a raised brow.
"I just read a book in spare time. As for him, I wouldn't know even after so many years," Eriol said with a chuckle.
"Hey! I take my time to relax in peace but with Meiling around, I can't get any," he argued.
"Well, that's why I usually go out, no?" Meiling said.
"Alright, enough! Let's go get Sakura already," he grumbled getting up from the.
"I don't see the rush, she's right across the street."
-Sakura's place-
The doorbell rang and Touya got up from his seat and opened to door to see the four of them. He began his glaring contest with Syaoran.
"Uh, hi Mr Kinomoto?" Tomoyo saud uncertainly.
"Heh? Oh, yeah, hi. I suppose you're all here to see Sakura, right?" he asked politely.
"Yep!" Meiling said. The guys, of course, stayed quiet.
"Hmm, she's upstairs. You can go get her if you want. On teh door on teh right when you go up," he said letting them in. "YOU TWO, however are staying right here. Sakura is a girl, remember that...," he growled taking teh two by teh shoulder sitting them ont eh couch forcefully. "And I'd like to go over a few things with youe two when you're with my sister."
They both gulped with sweat on their faces.
-Upstairs-
Tomoyo and Meiling knocked on her door which no one answered for a few moments. "Sakura?" Tomoyo called but no reply came. Meiling shrugged and put her hand on the knob, turning it to find it unlocked and entered teh white and pink room of Sakura.
"She must like pink a lot," she observed the neat room. "And cleanliness if I may add."
"Aww, she's asleep!" Tomoyo cooed as she saw Sakura on her bed. "Wait a second, I need the bathroom."
So she went inside closing teh door and used the bathroom, approaching teh sink with running water. She then spotted something behind the mirror. "Huh?" She slowly opened the cabinet and a plastic bag fell out into the water. "Oh crap," she muttered quickly snatching it before it filled with water.
Sakura opened her eyes to see Meiling standing next to her bed. "Meiling?"
"Huh?" she turned around to look at her. "Sorry, did we wake you?"
She snapped her body straight up on teh bed. "No! I mean, wait, 'we'?"
"Tomoyo is here too but she's in the bathroom."
Sakura went wide eyed. "The bathroom?"
"Yeah."
She got up from the bed when teh door opened. Tomoyo came out... with her package. "Sorry, I kinda got it wet when I was washing my hands."
"O-Oh, no problem. Err, I need to use the bathroom too," Sakura said quickly taking it and headed into teh bathroom, closing the door.
"What's with the face?" Meiling asked looking at her friend.
"The contents of the bag...," she whispered.
"What?"
"That bag was filled with medication for painkillers."
(a/n) .... well... this was definitely something. lol |
