Author's Note- OK! This was a spur of the moment thing so it is probably going to be only one chapter. I don't own CCS. Thanks!

* Knock Into Me

By: Cobalt-eyedAngel

* "Sakura, you need a boyfriend," Tomoyo whined, slightly annoyed at her best friend.

"Why? I'm perfectly happy." Sakura asked puzzled. Tomoyo was always bothering her about men. But Sakura's answer was always the same, 'Men are nice, but none have taken my breath away,' Sakura wanted to wait for love to sweep it off her feet before she ran after it.

[Underneath the blue sky, the wind blows toward the future, as if embracing the rays of the sun.]

"Sakura, I keep asking you, because..." Tomoyo looked hesitant, "Ok, I can't keep it a secret anymore! Eriol and I are engaged!"

"Why didn't you tell me?! I'm so happy for you guys!" Sakura said hugging her best friend.

[Merely wandering along, I leave behind only a trail of footsteps.]

"I was afraid you'd be mad, me having a fiancé and you not having anyone." Tomoyo cried happily, being able to slip her engagement ring on.

"Of course not! I'll have to get my own apartment but I don't care. And don't worry 'bout me! I'll find someone," I had happy tears in my eyes. This would be the best!

[As long as there's a breeze brushing my cheek & grass to lie in. I don't need anything else, and I'll smile with satisfaction.]

"Are you sure Sakura? You're my best friend; I would never want to kick you out." Tomoyo said uncertainly.

"Look Tomoyo, I'm only going to say this one more time. I will be fine. I'll get an apartment and find someone in my own time. Don't worry about me. All you need to worry about is the wedding!" I said softly, "You're going to be so beautiful! When will the wedding be?"

[Sleeping, gazing at the never-ending future... La la la...]

"Less than a year, I'm not exactly sure when!" Tomoyo couldn't hold her excitement in any longer. She could always count on Sakura not to be upset with her.

"Great! Ok, well, I have to get to work. And then for an apartment, but DO NOT start on the wedding arrangements without me!" Sakura giggled at her friend's shining face. She felt so proud, so awesome! Maybe she was getting caught up in Tomoyo's love and excitement, but who cared? She was happy!

[I can hear the sound of waves, touching my heart, selfishly aimless, like drops of rain.]

"Alright, I'll wait to start! Bye!" Tomoyo called as I headed out the door.

"Bye!" I hollered. Life was great. Ah, screw my business meeting! I'm going to a café, this morning!

[The setting sun quietly reassures itself of everything, then sinks into the distant sea, as if giving it a kiss.]

I stepped into café 'Oh La La' (Hehe! ^^) and went up to the waitress. "Espresso please," I smiled at her as she set off on her way to getting my drink.

"Miss there's spilt coffee-" I heard a woman say as I took a step back. Before I knew it I was sliding until I bumped into something hard and landed on it. It knocked the air out of me, my breath taken away.

[Wandering towards the dream of a never-ending future. La la la...]

I opened my eyes cautiously afraid of the damage I had done. I finally realized I was LYING on someONE. I was sitting in between a man's legs, my head on his stomach. I shot up, keeping my gaze averted, with a blush on my face. I offered my hand to him. What if he was some old guy whose back I broke?

I nervously decided to look at the man who I had fallen on, who, by the way, still hadn't accepted my hand, and blushed ten times redder. I was looking into the eyes of the hottest guy I had ever seen.(Oh. YEAH! LOL) He had broad shoulders, messy brown hair, and intense amber eyes.

"Gomen. Gomen. Did I hurt you?" I said hurriedly, returning my hand to my side, since as he still hadn't taken it and was staring up at me.

"Of course not," He almost sounded annoyed. He got him self up and reached full height. I came up to about his nose.

"Err...Gomen, my name is Kinomoto Sakura." I said offering my hand for a shake. Again, he declined and looked at me as if I was an idiot.

"Li." He said and walked passed me, bumped into me; putting something in my hand. I looked at my hand and found a folded up piece of paper. What was that?

I unfolded and read the chicken scrawl. 'Watch where you're going Kinomoto.
–Li' Ugh! What a rude thing to do- wait, when did he have time to write that?

I turned around angrily to find he had already left the café. "Jackass," I muttered under my breath. My good mood swept away.

I shook my head and the waitress called that my espresso was ready and I grabbed it with a quick smile and got the hell out of there. I headed off to look for an apartment in a grumpy mood. God, I'm going to get you back Li.

The first apartment was on 7th Avenue (not real places...at least I don't think. LOL *sweat drop*) it was eleven stories and looked old fashioned. It was a blood red and a musty white. It was in a lower-class neighborhood and didn't look as beat up as I thought it would.

I decided to take a look inside. I came up to the front desk where a crusty old man was sitting blinking, and staring into the light. O...Kay, I thought.

"Hello, sir." I said softly trying not to scare the man who, after walking closer, I realized wasn't all that old; he looked to be about 30ish.

He sneered at me. "What's your name, hot stuff?" He's breath smelt of alcohol and cigarettes. I almost puked.

"Kinomoto. Sakura Kinomoto." I tried to smile. He, unfortunately, did smile, to reveal crooked and yellow stained teeth. I was sure I shuddered.

"Sakura," He crooned and made his way around the desk. I just noticed how small the room was when he had me backed up against a wall.

"Stop it!" I shouted, but he had a tight grip on my rists and was pushing me HARD against the wall; which I now realized was a door. If only I could open it!

"Ah come on, I could give you a good suite if you give me a little lay." If I wasn't so scared I would have puked on him.

"Please," I begged, "No, no! Get off me!" I cried helplessly.

The door behind me opened and pushed me down on the floor on top off the man. He rolled me over so he was on top. I squeezed my eyes shut and tears fell down my cheeks. "Stop, please." I begged again.

Suddenly the weight of the man was lifted off me. And I looked up finally, tears still streaming down my face, and saw the man I had fell on earlier today; Syaoran Li.

I was actually happy to see him. Sure he was a jerk, but he wasn't scum trying to get some ass.

Li was glaring at the man as I shakily pulled myself to my feet. Luckily my clothes weren't ripped and luckily Li showed up.

"Tisuke," he spat, "You asshole, you don't treat women like that." Li was holding Tisuke an inch off the floor, his feet dangling. He let him drop, but was still glaring at him. "You have my money or will I finally be able to fire you with out getting crap from my cousin?"

"I-I don't have it...yet!" He answered his voice now full of fear. "I'll get it soon."

"Yeah, that's what you said last time. Whatever, now I know why you don't have any money to pay the depts. You can't keep things that shouldn't be seen in your pants!" He glanced quickly at me.

I blushed lightly. "W-what are you talking about? T-that's my girlfriend!" He looked at me lustfully.

I glared coldly at him. "Yeah right!" I yelled, amazed at how far his lies went. "I came in here looking for an apartment and before I even got your name I was attacked!" I screeched at him, my anger rising. Today had started good and gotten, so horribly, HORRIBLY, wrong.

Li was a little surprised at my outburst, thinking I was just a push-over. He looked back at Tisuke and raised an eyebrow angrily. "She doesn't know what she's saying!" he stuttered.

"Motherfucker!" I spat angrily, "Don't come within 5 feet of me, or I'll have you wishing you were never born!" I yelled at him. I stomped to the door and turned around once more. "Thank you Li-san" I smiled softly at him. He raised his eyebrows at my sudden change of mood. I slammed the door on my way out and headed to my car.

I took my keys out and opened the car door to my Grand Cherokee jeep. I sat down and tried to start the ignition, which didn't work. Could my day get any worse?

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. I cursed as I banged my head against the steering wheel.

"So that's how you got messed up in the head." A familiar voice said.

Sakura looked up but her vision was blurred. "Huh?" she moaned. Her head hurt like crazy; maybe she had hit it just a little too hard. Ouch. "Who are you? My car won't start,"

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look so good," The voice was now worried and closer. "Hey! Stay awake!" I could hear his calls. But my head hurt so much! That was my last thought before the world blacked out.

**

Sakura's eyes fluttered open, but her vision was still slightly blurred. She felt and wet rag on her throbbing forehead. "Owww," I groaned. I sat up as I heard a door open.

"Miss Kinomoto?" A lady's voice asked. It seemed motherly for a reason. Where am I??

"Yes, that's me." My voice cracked and I could see the figure of a woman with black hair. Even though she was old, she was very beautiful.

"My name is Li Yelen. My son brought you hear saying that you blacked out and he only knew your name, so we couldn't bring you to where you live." She slightly smiled at Sakura.

"Um. Alright. I'm sorry, who's your son?" Sakura smiled sheepishly, making Yelen almost laugh out loud.

"Li Syaoran." She answered and Sakura nodded.

"Is she awake?!" A girl squealed running into the room. "Oh, what a cutie! Absolutely adorable! Little brother has never brought home a girl before! Well, we must say he has good taste!"

"She's awake!" Three more girls came squealing into the room. Sakura nearly died from fright. They were looking her over as if judging her to win a contest.

"Err. Who are you all?" Sakura asked lying back down, before her migraine got worse.

"Oh sorry! We're Syaoran's older sisters! I'm Xiefia and the oldest. This is Fanfren, the second oldest, Fuuitie the second youngest, and Fiemie the youngest." Xiefia smiled brightly at Sakura.

"Ohayo I'm Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura couldn't help but smile at the four energetic girls. If only Li were as nice as them.

"Ohhhh! You're so cute! Kawaii," The four girls sighed. And Sakura burst out laughing. They all gave her a lost expression.

"I'm sorry, it's just you all remind me so much of my best friend Tomoyo!" Sakura's laughter subsided hearing a knock at the door. She finally took a look around the large room. It was huge!

"Come in," Yelen called answering the knock.

"You're awake," Li came through the door with a blank face.

"Um. Yeah. What time is it?" Sakura asked worried. She still hadn't found an apartment, and Tomoyo was going to feel bad about making her move out.

"Four o'clock in the afternoon." He answered glaring at his sisters who were smiling like idiots and trying to hold back giggles.

"Oh no!" Sakura bit her lip nervously thinking. "I still haven't found an apartment, Eriol can't move in with me there." She mumbled to herself.

"You're looking for an apartment?!" Fanfren squealed, "Little brother can find one for you! That's one of his jobs, he owns apartment complexes."

Syaoran glared at his sister. "Oh, I couldn't ask of that. It was nice enough of you to let me stay here and take care of me," Sakura said not wanting to be the cause of a fight.

"Are you sure?" Yelen frowned, "My son told me about the bit of trouble you got into." Sakura blushed. This was the most horrible day in her life, except the Tomoyo incident.

"Err. Yeah, I guess it wasn't too smart going by myself." Sakura's blush wouldn't leave.

"Got that right." Syaoran muttered, making Sakura glare at him. But he just glared back. The sisters were about to squeal with joy, a girl had never stood up to their brother before.

"I'll go with one of my friends, they, at least, would be better company than you." Sakura said still glaring at him. Yelen smiled, enjoying the girl.

"I doubt they could protect a spoiled brat like you, I hope you do get raped; it would teach you a lesson!" He said glaring coldly at her. (Oh no, Syaoran what are you doing?)

Tears started in Sakura's eyes, but she wouldn't cry in front of him. She stood up; feeling slightly light headed, but shook it off. "You, Li, are the most insensitive jerk I've EVER met!" She let go of the hold on her blanket, not caring that she had on only a thin night gown. She stomped up to him, and slapped him. "I never want to see your face again, and I hope you go to hell!" She turned on her foot and left the room.

Syaoran lifted a hand to his cheek; he had never been slapped before. His eyes were wide; he couldn't believe she had just slapped him! Maybe all slaps hurt, but Sakura's felt like a punch. And he couldn't get the image of her in that night gown out of his head. What was wrong with him?!

"You're an idiot!" His sisters yelled. "And she's right!" They all yelled at the same moment and stomped out of the room. Yelen had never smiled this much in her life; she was amused seeing her son in this dilemma.

"She would be a good match for Rui Lang," Yelen said talking about Sayoran's cousin, just to see what her son would do.

"What?!" Syaoran yelled. This was weird, why did he get so defensive? It was just cause he didn't like Rui Lang, It had nothing to do with Sakura. Kinomoto! He corrected.

"I think they would be a good match," Yelen repeated calmly amused at her son. "You must ask her to meet him."

"Wha-how?" Syaoran asked annoyed.

"Help her find an apartment then she'll owe you a favor. Then you can ask her to meet Rui Lang." Yelen said leaving the room.

"Wait, what's in it for me?" Syaoran asked his mother following her out of the room.

"If you give him a wife, he'll be in debt to you, and then you won't have any problems becoming Clan leader." Yelen said knowing her son would do it for the Clan.

"Alright, I guess I'll do it." He sighed. Something was eating him up inside. He didn't like the thought of Sakura and Rui Lang together on bit. Not one bit.

**

"That Li, I could kill him. How could he say such a thing?" Sakura grumbled to her self. Maids rushed past her, glancing at her shocked to see her in a night gown. Most thought she was crazy in the head as she walked past talking to herself.

She finally reached the front door and opened it; she started walking the long way to the gates. Maybe she could catch a taxi or something.

"Kinomoto!" One of Syaoran's sisters called. She stopped and smiled at her. At least all Li's weren't bad.

"You can call me Sakura, what is it?" Sakura asked smiling at the youngest sister, Fiemie.

"You can't walk home; let me give you a ride. Sakura." Fiemie smiled at her.

"Ok, thanks a lot!" Sakura said heading to the garage with Fiemie. When they reached the garage, Sakura looked around amazed at all the cars.

"Come on, I'll show you my baby!" Fiemie beamed dragging Sakura to a yellow Porsche.

"Cool!" Sakura exclaimed as she saw the cute little car.

They got in and started heading to Tomoyo's house after Sakura gave Fiemie directions.

"You seem to really need an apartment, we'll get my little brother to help you look for one." Fiemie said cheerfully.

"I don't want him to help me." Sakura said crossing her arms stubbornly.

"But he'll protect you, he was taught how to fight since he was four and he knows women shouldn't be disrespected." Fiemie reasoned, "And he owns a big variety of apartment buildings, you'll find the one that is perfect for you."

"Alright, I guess. I do need one soon, and badly." Sakura sighed. For Tomoyo. For Tomoyo. For Tomoyo. For Tomoyo. Her mind reassured her, but she couldn't fool anyone, she had the need to see Li again.
