Chapter two
Not again
Yu Hing whimpered in her sleep, her chest nut hair sprawled on her pillow. She slept on her left side, her little legs curled up. A frown was on her face, the noises she was making in her sleep became louder. The door to her room creaked open, and amber eyes peered through looking at his daughter. "Yu Hing" he spoke out in a low voice, "what's wrong precious one?" he asked a little louder. He lightly walked to her bed, bent down and slowly ran his index finger across her forehead in gentle circular motions.
Yu Hing's eyes flew open, her scared blue eyes gazed at her father, "daddy!" she cried out. "mummy hurt me, mummy bad!" Syaoran frowned deeply hearing that, yeah he knew that his wife had a temper but she wasn't a bad person. "Where did mummy hurt you?" he inquired softly, caressing her hair. Yu Hing pointed to her throat, "juice" she hissed in a dark voice, "me hate juice". Now Syaoran was very confused? What the hell was so scary about juice? "I promise I won't let the juice get you" he replied. "Now go back to sleep" he requested. Yu Hing cuddled Syaoran one last time then got back into her bed and settled down to sleep.
Syaoran quiet as a mouse crept out of his daughter's room and into the hall way, he glanced at his watch and cursed mentally to himself. He had to be up for work in two hours. Feeling it was pointless to go to sleep knowing he wouldn't be able to wake up for work he made his way down the stairs to get a cup of tea and breakfast. Emerald kept flashing before his eyes, he kept seeing pale pink lips smiling awkwardly at him. The right emerald eye kept winking at him mischievously. Being too mesmerized by the image of the girl before his eyes, Syaoran missed the last few stairs and fell down them hitting his head on the corner skirting board.
Feeling slightly light-headed because of pain pounding in his head, he slowly managed to get up. He peered at himself in the hall mirror and saw that a bruise had formed on the left side of his forehead. "great" he said aloud to himself, how was he supposed to go to work with a mark like that on hi forehead and his wife as well wouldn't believe him. She'd think it was a token from one of his lay-ins. A figure came up from behind him, he turned to meet furious pacific eyes. 'uh oh' he thought to himself, 'you are in for it now'. His wife stared at him trying to intimidate him with her enchanting eyes. Her raven hair was in a plait that ran down her back.
"Syaoran come to bed" she coyly coaxed, she took his hand in hers and stroked it softly. Syaoran looked at her a confusing look noticeable in his amber eyes. Tomoyo moved her lips right next to his ear and nibbled on it like a naughty school girl. Syaoran was lost now, he and his wife always ended up arguing most nights because she wouldn't sleep with him and here she was offering herself to him on a plate. He could feel himself becoming aroused. He didn't know whether he should give into his wife or not. She knew which buttons to press to get him to follow her. "Sorry Tomoyo but I have work to get to", he answered in a business tone. He turned to the kitchen but Tomoyo pulled him back towards the stairs, she slipped her night gown off and let it drop to the floor like a feather. Syaoran gapped at her body, her delicate frame stood before him. She was begging him with the look in her eyes that she wanted him badly. Silently she undid her plait shaking her hair making it come across her face as she moved her head from side to side. All she had on her skin was her knickers they were the only thing that stood between Syaoran but they were by no means a barrier to him.
"come then" Tomoyo spoke in a soft and enticing tone, Syaoran walked into the kitchen and slammed the door. Tomoyo stared at the mirror in shock, in a raging temper she threw the telephone at the mirror braking it into thousands on pieces. Syaoran heard the thunderous noise but didn't go and comfort his wife. He busied himself by boiling the kettle. He smirked to himself, he was the one in control now; not her. He wouldn't eat anymore apple pies, he wouldn't cave in so easily to his devil wife's demands and he would watch out more for Yu Hing. Forgetting about the tea, he wrenched the kitchen door open and surveyed the scene before him. His wife was nowhere to be seen, glass lay on the floor and the front door was wide open making a early morning breeze touch his face.
Across town in a middle-class hotel emerald eyes opened blearily. Her friend Rika was no doubt out pulling and bedding guys, just like the one she nearly bed at the club last night; until Sakura interrupted them. Sighing slightly she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She glanced sadly at her reflection in the mirror " I look really bad" she said to herself making grumbling noises. She didn't have a bad figure, she wasn't by any means fat. She did think her breasts were a little on the small side though. Her enthralling emerald orbs gazed back at her. They hid a sorrow that lay deep within her, strangely she didn't know what that sadness was. Amber appeared before her eyes, she kept seeing amber for some reason but she didn't know why.
She heard a door go and knew that Rika had returned. Sakura threw a large t-shirt on and went to greet her long time best friend. Rika looked a sight, red lip-stick on her teeth, somehow on her cheek; her brown hair was in a tangle. Yet Rika remained oblivious to her appearance, Sakura let out a loud giggle and handed her friend a small mirror. "heya" Rika slurred bouncily, ok so she was a little tipsy. Sakura giggled cutely at her friends behaviour, now Rika was talking to herself in the mirror. Shaking her head, she made her way over to her friend and took her to her room; where she immediately surrendered to sleep.
Noiselessly Sakura went back to her room and decided to go and explore the city of Hong Kong. They had to go back to Japan soon and she hadn't done much sight-seeing. She showered and threw on some clothes, an odd combination of clothes. A purple blouse and a sky-blue knee length skirt along with white sandals. She didn't really care though, she wasn't very fashion conscious. Snatching up her bag from her bed side cabinet she hurried out of their hotel suite forgetting to lock on the door.
Why had he decided to take his three year old daughter to work today? Oh yeah because his blasted wife had done a disappearing act. She had vanished from the face of the earth, he had spent over three hours searching high and low for her. As a result he had been late for work, luckily he was the boss so he wasn't reprimanded or fired; how ironic. He had walked in half through the meeting, ten pairs of eyes had glared furiously at him. As said though, he was the boss, the person in-charge so none of the eyes had spoken out.
Yu Hing sat on her father's desk, legging swinging wildly humming some unknown tune. Her blue eyes were glancing longingly at the street below for half of the day she had been cooped up in her father's tediously tiresome office. There were no toys to play with and her father had yelled at her for breaking his mobile phone. Syaoran was on the phone to an important client, his eyes however kept straying to his daughter who looked positively crestfallen. The voice on her phone was speaking in a monotone about a profitable business deal. Syaoran interrupted impatient, "we will discuss this some other time, I've got other things to see to." The voice on the other end of the phone was about to say something but Syaoran just hung up and tossed his phone aside.
"Hu" Syaoran called to his daughter, Yu Hing looked up dully. "yes daddy" she replied in a bored voice. Syaoran smiled cheekily at her and said "we're going out grab your coat its cold outside." Yu Hing's face broke into a wide grin and her blue eyes became light once more. Rushing out of the stuffy office father and daughter caused quite a scene, his employees were staring in amazement their usually calm and controlled boss was acting different. When Syaoran and Yu Hing got to the elevator he noticed everyone looking at him, his frowned and glared back "Get back to work, I don't pay you people to stare like gormless clowns. I want to see all the reports finished when I come back otherwise the head secretary is fired" he ordered harshly. The staff rushed back to their work, typing ferociously to meet this new and unexpected deadline.
Satisfied with his speech Syaoran and Yu Hing set off for an afternoon of clean fun. "What would you like to do first?" Syaoran asked the blue eyed toddler walking next to him, her small hand encased in his big one. "eat" she simply answered in a concise voice for a three year old. Syaoran nodded his head in understanding, briskly he led them to a nice, quaint restaurant. They made their way inside to find it packed. Syaoran's mouth clenched in displeasure, the manager came up to them. "Sorry but we are booked solid, make sure you come another time" he stated apologetically. Syaoran shot daggers at him, "I want a table now" he demanded in a tight voice.
A girl came up to them with bright emerald eyes, "you can share my table if you want" she offered politely. Syaoran glared coldly at the girl before him, "I don't share anything" he replied coolly. Yu Hing tugged on his hand, making his look down at her with soft eyes. "please daddy" she begged quietly. Syaoran's eyes landed back on the girl in front of him, her eyes looked put out, like what he had said wasn't to her taste. A waiter passed them with tray, Yu Hing screamed out in pain, she fell onto the floor and began to shake uncontrollably. "Hu! Hu!" Syaoran bellowed, "what's the matter?" Yu Hing managed to get out "juice". Sighing Syaoran picked up his daughter and strode out of the restaurant not before saying to the manager "expect to hear from me soon". The manager was lost at those words a puzzled expression appeared on his face. "My lawyers will contact you" Syaoran hissed at him vehemently. A girl followed him out of the restaurant, Yu Hing had calmed down and had fallen asleep in Syaoran's arms.
Hurrying to catch up with Syaoran, the girl ran after him and tapped him hard on the shoulder. "What do you want?" Syaoran asked her icily, "get out of my way before I make you". Sakura answered him with her fist in his face. He grunted in pain still with Yu Hing in his arms. Forgetting that he was in the middle of a road with cars honking and shouting curses at him to move out of the way. He grasped the girl roughly by the wrist and pulled her onto the pavement. "next time I won't be as helpful" he said stonily. He walked away his little girl still sleeping soundlessly in his arms, two thoughts in his mind emerald and juice.
Sakura stood gob smacked, "who is that man?" Amber came into her mind.
