A/N: It's been awhile, folks. And right now I'd like to start a new story. The other stories, I think, will get updated in the next two weeks of sheer heaven. It's that blissful part of the year called SEMBREAK, and even though I have some school stuff hanging in my thoughts, I try to forget that I may get a 5.0 or so in my MP class, and that I sucked in my BC class's final exam. I mean, c'mon, 100 items, 320 choices? You've got to be kidding me. But I don't care. I just don't. Hell, I'm blabbing. Now here we go. A new story — romance, humor and a little dramatic angst, I think.

FULL SUMMARY:

Syaoran, next-in-line CEO of the Li Corp, has long resigned himself to the fact that he'll end up married to a business associate's daughter. It was only a question of whose daughter it'll be and when he'll marry the lucky girl (conceited, isn't it?). However, he was totally unprepared for the fact that the girl his mom chose for him was a runaway rebel daughter, who chose to have the menial job of being a bloody tabloid journalist (READ: it means paparazzi to him all the same). Just thinking about her occupation makes his blood boil. Those damned bloodhounds are always scouring for scandals all over Tokyo. And, the thing is, he can't marry the girl if she doesn't show herself anytime soon, right? And from what he's heard, the girl's been on the run for almost a year. Now, he can't have that. He can't have such a feisty journalist for a wife! If she thinks she can run away forever, she's got another thing going. Oh, she's so going to get it. And so Syaoran swears to stamp out the fighting spirit out of his wife-to-be. When he catches up with her, that is.

Sakura is proud to say that she is living in a rundown flat and that she earns an average of a few thousand yens a month, that is to say, enough. Not much, she thinks, but it's only a matter of time and she'll get the only break she'll need to rise to the top: get a picture of the elusive bachelor Li Syaoran for her editor. The man has graced the pages of their newspaper of late, an article about some scandal about bedding a girl (Not that she cared) every now and then. That'd do the trick, she thinks. Besides, she's earning well enough to cover her needs. It's not like she's starving. She also happens to love what she does, and that's compensation well enough. And she'd like to point out that she'd rather do this, instead of being the puppet, being the modest, graceful, shy daughter of a business tycoon. She's had enough of that stupidity. She's earning her keep, and it's keeping her satisfied for almost a year now. And though the development is somewhat slow, she's willing to wait it out. Her father and equally tyrannical brother can't find her, can they? But, oh, breaking news, everyone: what the hell is her father and brother doing walking out of the Li Corp building with her subject? And are they coming her way? No way, folks, and your journalist reporter-to-be is suddenly off and running away from her worst nightmare.

Will they catch her? And if they did, what will they do to squash her spirit, if they ever can? Or will she get away? And when will she learn that she's much more connected to Li Syaoran than in the way she thinks they are (purely business)? And where the hell does romance enter the picture?

A/N: This has a chapter 1 ready. Tell me what you think, while I reconsider which story to update first. Oh, it's good to be back. So good.
