AN: I'm so so so sorry everyone. I'm doing absolutely terrible in school so I haven't had time to even think about writing. I'm also apologizing for starting a new story. It was something I typed up really quick after a strange dream I had. I couldn't resist. I'm sorry if this isn't up to par, this story won't be anything intense, but a fun side project. Chapters will be very short and random. I PROMISE that I will update Miracles and Sinful Temptations during winter break. Yes, both stories at least once. I hope you guys enjoy this!
When Sakura opened the door to her penthouse after celebrating her 18th birthday, she found the biggest surprise of her life. Even through the darkness, she could make out the figure perfectly. It was a man, lying on her couch. She flicked on the lights and realized he wasn't just any man; he was a very hot man indeed. But what would a stranger be doing at her home near midnight? It took about two seconds before realization hit her square in the face.
"Hey, you!" He seemed to be alerted in an instant and sat up quickly releasing a soft moan. His eyes darted around the room, as if searching for something. But finding there was nobody but her, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I know what you're doing." She continued. Immediately the stranger tensed up, the surprise evident in his eyes.
Slowly and cautiously he replied. "…You do? Look Miss –."
Sakura cut him off abruptly, "You do know its illegal right? You shouldn't be doing this."
His features seemed to change at once, his lips pursed and his eyes cold. "As if I have a choice."
"You do! You don't have to do this! Look I can help you –"
He was the one who cut her off this time. "You just want to turn me in, don't you?"
"I won't! But I'm hoping you'll change your lifestyle before it's at the point of no return."
"The point of no return was when I started."
"You still have time! You don't have to be a gigolo!"
His face contorted for a moment, between laughter and disgust. "Miss, I'm not a gig –"
But before he could finish his sentence a knife pierced the air, narrowly missing his head by inches and Sakura's by centimeters. Her eyes widened as she let out a loud piercing scream, followed by his loud cursing. Then before she knew it, he had run across the room, threw her over his shoulder and ran out.
Sakura had never felt such an urge to throw up the contents in her stomach. But she did when he finally stopped. He seemed to have been a personal rollercoaster, twisting her this way and that as he moved. When he had finally let her down, the earth was spinning beneath her feet and her organs seemed to have been jumbled around inside her stomach. Immediately, she fell to her knees, shook her head briefly before everything she had eaten earlier decided to come up her throat. He couldn't help but turn away as she wretched. He wasn't in too good of a shape either; his earlier wound had split and was freshly bleeding again. He brought his hand against his torso, applying pressure to momentarily stop it. The warm liquid soaked onto his hands but he merely let out a grunt. Turning his attention back on the girl he'd picked up just moments ago, he sighed. What was he going to do with her? It didn't take him long to decided however, because when Sakura finally realized where she was, she mustered up as much strength as she could and screamed. It seemed to do no effect seeing as they were on a rooftop and Tokyo was twenty stories below them. How he had even gotten so high, she would never know.
"What the hell was that?!" Sakura said when she finally calmed down.
"I just saved your life, Miss." He gave a lopsided smile, seemingly proud of his actions. Sakura narrowed her eyes at him, though she doubted he could even see her in the darkness.
"Then what am I doing on a rooftop?!"
"I brought you here."
"For what?!"
"…To protect you."
"Why?!"
"Because as I was saying before, Miss I'm not a gigolo, I'm an assassin." Syaoran stared intently at the figure before him. How would she take it? Expecting the worse, he pursed his lips into a thin line. Then Sakura, well, she laughed. She laughed and she giggled, nearly chortling.
"An assassin? Hey buddy, guess what? I'm the queen of China!"
Right. Syaoran doubted he would have believed her.
"Anyway from now on, you're coming with me." Which coincidently was the last thing she heard before she blacked out.
AN: If you guys have read any of my other stories, you'd know I absolutely LOVE reviews. I read each and every one - and smile stupidly at each and every one. I have the second chapter (also short) typed up, so review everyone and I'll post it!
PS: If anyone has AIM and would like to tutor me in MATH A, I'll spoil you with chapter previews and perhaps I'd be able to update my stories quicker. Please? Anyone!?
