The Picture of the Past Days of Li

By: Kalli

~~~~~~~~A few minutes before Sakura and Naoko arrive~~~~#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$

"Syaoran, your mother is on Line 2. She wants to talk to you now." Said Nakuru in a stressed voice.

"Sure. Say, Nakuru, how would you like to marry me?" I asked hopefully. 'Hey, she's hot, and I know her. Oh, and she's smart.'

"Back off of my Secretary, Syaoran." Came Eriol's voice in the background.

"Sorry. Say, Eriol, would you-"

"No, sorry, I won't marry you."

I glared at the intercom. "That's not what I was gonna ask you. Nobody's THAT stupid, Eriol. I was gonna ask if you would find me one of those women who loves all that romantic stuff and would go out with me for about 7 and ½ months, then wouldn't be heart-broken if I just bluntly broke it off."

"Syaoran, I don't think there are any women like that. You may actually have to be tied down."

I winced. "I dunno if it's possible for me to do that."

A stern female voice then spoke through the intercom. "Then you better MAKE it possible, my dear son."

"M-mother!"

"Yes, of course."

"Um, hold on a second."

I switched to Eriol's line. "Eriol! STOP DOING THAT!!!!!!"

"Well, if you would keep your stupid mouth shut and be quiet, you wouldn't be in these situations."

"Shut up." I grumbled, and switched back to the line with my mother. "Ok, I'm back."

"I hope you haven't forgotten about finding a fiancé."

"Of course not. I'm working on it."

"Good. Eriol will be reporting to me on your relationships up until the next time you meet the elders again in 7 months."

I scowled at this. "That's wonderful."

Then I heard a knock on the door. "Hold on a second, Mother."

I pushed the hold button and yelled "Yes?"

"Mr.Li, your new secretary is here."

"Show her in, please." I pushed the hold button again and said "Mother, I'll have to call you back later. My new secretary just arrived."

"Alright. Goodbye." I hung up and looked to the opening door.

I was expecting some gothic punk girl with dyed and streaked hair with black clothes and a major attitude. Instead I got an angelic beauty.

A young girl walked in with a high-school uniform on. 'Hmm, a schoolgirl,huh?'. She had auburn hair and lightly tanned skin. The skin around one of her eyes looked a shade or 2 darker than the other one. I assumed it was a black eye covered with make- up. She smiled lightly and said "Hi! I'm Sakura Kinomoto."

I smiled charmingly and replied. "Hello. So, your Sakura Kinomoto. Tell me a little about yourself. And please, sit down." I motioned to the chair in front of me.

She hesitantly sat down. "Um, okay. I'm a senior at Tomoeda High School, I'm 18, and um.........is there anything else you want to know?"

"Why, yes, Sakura, are you also single?" I asked flirtatiously.

She glared at me slightly. "I don't think that's any of your business. And I must insist that you call me Kinomoto-san."

I raised my eyebrows at this. 'Ooh, a defiant one. This should be interesting.' I calmly smiled. "We'll see about that."

"Look, I'm not interested in having anymore than a friendly Business relationship with you, so don't even try it." She said flatly.

I blinked. I'd never met anyone who was almost as blunt as myself about these things. "Then you may have to find a new job." Of course, I wasn't serious, but it might get her to warm up to me a little bit.

She narrowed her eyes even more. "I can sue you for that and I'm sure they'd believe me, no matter how much money you have, that you hit on me while I was working under you. And I am technically working right now."

I hadn't thought about that one. This girl was a whip. 'I think I just found who I want to be my fiancé.' I thought to myself.

"Mr.Li, there's someone on the phone for you." Came Naoko's voice over the intercom.

"Alright. Put them through in a few seconds." I looked back up at Sak- Kinomoto-san. "This could take a few minutes, so just wander around the office, or something until I can talk to you again. I look forward to it." I added a quick wink for good measure.

She glared at me, once again, and got up to thumb through some of the novels I kept on one of the shelves in the office. I picked up the phone from the intercom. "Hello?" It turned out to be a branch in Southern France having a slight problem with a mix-up in the charts. I sighed. One little mistake was gonna cost about 10 minutes where I could be trying to win over the cute whip-girl.

#$ Change to Sakura P.O.V.#$

After I thumbed through the books, I moved onto the business books and folders. I opened up one with a ton of math figures in it. 'THIS is the kind of work I have to do. Oh, that just adds to my already perfect day.' I thought sarcastically.

I kept browsing through shelves with books, folders, and various small figures until I came to a mini-bookcase closer to the back of the office with framed pictures on each shelf. I picked up one with what looked like a younger Li with his family. There was a smiling woman with black hair pulled into a high, swishing ponytail with an elegant robe on with her arms around 5 children. 4 were girls that looked around 12 or 13 that were smiling and laughing happily. The last one was, I assumed, Li when he was about 6, I guessed. He had his arms crossed and was glaring at the 4 girls above him. 'His sisters, maybe.'

I kept browsing through them until I came to a picture with someone VERY familiar looking in it. My eyes widened as I took a close look at the picture.

There was a boy and a girl that looked to be very close in age. The boy, of course, was Li, but he was smiling and waving at the camera, with one arm around the girl, and she had her arm around his shoulder. The girl. She looked too familiar. It had to be. I was absolutely positive.

Meiling.

The girl in the picture and Meiling just looked to alike for it to be someone else. The girl had her raven-colored hair up in 2 small odangos on either side of her head with a few inches of hair hanging down from each side. She had on a white-red striped, collared shirt with a pair of jean shorts, and was winking at the camera, showing her other eye to be the same crimsony-brown that present day Meiling's eye color was.

It was definitely Meiling. But why did he have a picture of her in his office? I thought for a minute. 'Hell no. Meiling LI. Same last name, both Chinese, both have rich families. No. That would mean that Meiling and Li are...................related! No, this isn't happening. My best friend and my playboy boss? Related? They could be like brother and sister! My eyes widened at the horror of that thought.

"Ok, Kinomoto-san, I'm off the pho- Hey, are you alright?"

"Huh?" I quickly turned around to see Li looking at me with a concerned face.

Then he noticed the picture I was holding. He walked over and took it from my hands, then gazed at it for a moment. "Do you like this picture?" he asked softly.

'His voice sounds sad.' I thought. "Yeah. Is that you?"

He nodded. "Uh-huh. The girl in this picture is my cousin. We used to be inseparable when we were little, but in 2nd grade, Mother had her transferred to Japan to get a cultural experience, or something along those lines."

Ok, it's DEFINITELY Meiling. Even the story fits.

He continued. "It was only supposed to be for a year, but I was still sad. So, it was absolutely horrible when she called us after a few months and asked if she could stay because she liked it so much. Even though I protested against it many times, she still wanted to stay because she had met some new friends that she was really tight-knit with. I've really missed her since then. But now, when she calls, she only talks to my Mother and I haven't talked to her in at least 7 years. I'd do anything to see her again."

He paused for a second. "Oh yea, her name was-"

I cut him off. "Meiling, and the friends she was really close with were named Yamazaki, Rika, and Chiharu." I left my name out for the moment. I had a plan that could definitely work to my advantage.

He looked at me in shock. "How did you know all that?"

"I go to her school. Oh, yea, she always hangs out with one other girl. It's her very best friend. She could easily get Meiling to come see you, but there'd be a price."

"What's the girl's name? I'll look her up and see what she wants. No matter what, I really want to see Meiling again."

"The girl's name is Sakura Kinomoto."

"Okay, Sakura Kino-" He stopped and looked up at me slowly. "You're her best friend?"

I nodded. "I met her in 2nd grade when she transferred here, and we've been great friends ever since."

He sighed deeply. "Alright, what do you want? Money, jewelry, what?"

I smiled. "Don't hit on me. Ever again. Oh, and you have to be my servant for 2 days."

He opened his mouth to protest. "Do you wanna see her or not? This deal is a pretty easy thing."

He closed his mouth reluctantly, then smiled. "Fine. When can you get her up here? I want to see her as soon as possible."

I decided to have mercy on him. "I'll see what I can do. Go get me some water, would you?"

He gave me a look that said 'why-the-hell-should-I-do-that?'. I quirked an eyebrow. "You ARE my servant, starting today, ending Wednesday." (A/n- If I forgot to mention it, it's Monday.)

He frowned and went to get me some water. After he left, I picked up the phone and made sure the line was clear, then dialed Meiling's cell number. She answered cheerfully. "Moshi Moshi, this is Meiling."

"Mei, it's me. I need you to come down to my new workplace."

"Why?" she asked in a confused tone.

"I found an old friend of yours here."

"Old friend?"

"Just come down, please? I'm on the 10th floor. Just come up to the President's door, or get Naoko to help you find me."

"Alright. I'll be there in a few."

I hung up with a smile on my face. Just then, Li reentered grumbling about something under his breath, and handed me the drink, then plopped back down in his spinny-chair.

"Alright, Kinomoto. I like to know a bit about who works for me." I glared at him. "Or who will be working under me in 2 days time." I smiled again. "So, hobbies, sports, what you do in your spare time. Tell me about that kind of thing."

I sighed. "Alright. I like baking, rollerblading, and hanging out with my friends to go to the movies or something like that. I used to do cheerleading, but I got too many detentions, so I got kicked off the squad. But, I still play soccer or something else with my friends when we have time. All that is basically what I do in my spare time."

He nodded. "Okay. Well,-"

"Mr.Li, there's a visitor for Miss Kinomoto." Came Naoko's voice over the intercom, once again.

"Tell them to come to my office." He replied.

"Yes sir."

'Good, my plan is working. ' I thought. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door. I rushed over to the door, then turned to Li and said "Hold on for just a sec." And stepped outside, closing the door behind me.

Meiling was standing there in a long-sleeved red shirt with a yin-yang on it, along with jean shorts, faded red and white tennis shoes, and the usual half-lens red sunglasses. "What's up, Saku? What's all this about?" she asked me. She looked so confused that I had to try hard to keep myself from laughing at her expression.

"You'll see." Stand there for just a second, and when I turn back to you and wink, walk in all silent and dramatic like you see in the movies."

She gave me a deadpan look, but sighed and nodded her head. "Fine."

I poked my head back in the door. Li looked up smiling. "Kinomoto-san, go ahead and introduce me to your friend."

I smiled and nodded, then turned and winked at Meiling. She smiled slightly, and walked in quietly. Li stared at her shock. "M-Meiling?" he asked slowly.

She squinted her eyes at him, and lowered her sunglasses a bit, then smiled brightly. "Syaoran!" she squealed and ran towards him. They embraced tightly for a few seconds, then backed away and started jabbering in a language, I assumed it was Mandarin, and smiled and laughed. 'How cute.' I thought to myself.

Them they both turned to me. Meiling spoke up first. "So this is who you meant! Thank you so much, Saku! I haven't seen him in years!"

"He told me that when I found the picture of you 2 when you were little."

Meiling smiled proudly. "Wasn't I adorable?"

"Yes, the complete opposite of you now!" I teased.

She stuck her tongue out. "Well, at least I was adorably cute at least once in my life!"

"I disagree, Sa-" I glared at him. "Kinomoto-san is very ho-uh, cute." Said Li, then smiled flirtatiously.

Meiling grinned. "I think he likes you."

"Well, that's lovely." I said sarcastically.

Meiling clapped her hands together. "Ya know, if you 2 got married, we could be sisters, Sakura!"

I cringed. "Mei, I'd rather just be the very best of friends than have to go to such extreme measures to be your sister."

She frowned. "And you 2 would make such a lovely couple too!"

Li nodded vigorously. "Maybe you should listen to what she's saying, Kinomoto!"

I shot him yet another glare. "Maybe you should consider shutting up, Servant of mine!"

He shut up and stayed silent. Meiling looked back and forth between the 2 of us. "I made a few conditions to getting you here, Meiling."

"Ah. I see."

Syaoran just pouted silently in his chair. We both laughed at his face. Meiling gave him one last hug and said "I'll see you around. Sakura can keep us in contact. I'd stay longer, but I have a ton of things to do." Then she leaned down and whispered something into his ear that I couldn't hear.

#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$

Meiling leaned down and whispered "Syaoran, if your going to try to romance Sakura, do it gradually and slowly. And you better treat her well! Otherwise I will kick your ass all the way back to Hong Kong!" I winced at that last sentence.

"Yes, ma'am!" I replied.

"Alright, I'll see ya! Bye!" she said and waved before she walked out the door.

Then, once again, it was just me and Sakura in the room. She smiled. "So, what do I do to get you started?"

I looked at her with a quirked eyebrow. "Me started?"

I nodded. "You ARE my servant, right?"

I nodded glumly. "Yes."

"Alright. So, what was I gonna do today?"

"You were going to receive some mathematical figures to sort and you'll get work hours and the work schedule, and any other notices you need."

"You do the mathematical figures and give me the other stuff. And while you're at it, get me a blueberry smoothie."

"The only place you can get those is 4 blocks down and it's always crowded."

She shrugged. "Should I care? You DID promise t-"

"I know, I know. Your servant. I'm on it." So, I went out, walked 8 blocks in all, got splashed by a passing car, and waited in line for 15 minutes, then found out the elevator was malfunctioning and had to take the 10 flights of steps up, then re-entered my office to find Sakura talking on the phone to a very important Business client. My eyes widened and I grabbed the phone from her. "Sir, I am SO sorry about my Secretary. I've been out and I hope she hasn't said anything rude while I was away."

The man spoke with a slight African accent. "Oh, no. As a matter of fact, your charming secretary has convinced me to invest more money in your Company, Mr.Li!"

I blinked momentarily. "T-thank you, Sir!"

"Thank Ms.Sakura. Lovely girl. Must not be dating you. Good day." And he hung up. 'What did he mean by 'she must not be dating you'?.

Sakura's slurping diverted my attention. "Took you long enough."

I looked at her in amazement. "So, how did you get him to agree to invest more money?"

"Well, that's my little secret." She said coyly.

I shook my head. "Your good."

She smiled and replied "I know. I was looking at this schedule and it says there's a business convention this weekend. Do I have to go to that too?"

I nodded. "You, my partner, his secretary, and a few others, including Yanagisawa, will be accompanying me."

"How many in all?"

"Let's see. Me, you, Eriol, Akizuki, Yanagisawa, and 2 others that you'll be working with this week. That's Horiuchi Karina and Seichii Watanabe. Horiuchi is the one that oversees the market stocks and advises us on what to invest in, and Seichii is the one that does some of the negotiations, writes out the agreements, and does the paper work needed for that."

She nodded. "I see. It's only 2 days, right?"

"Yes."

She smiled. "Great!" Then she plopped down in my chair.

"Hey!" I protested. She gave me a warning look, then slid a folder with money and stock figures in it for me to do.

She smiled oh-so-too-happily. "Get to work. I'll let you use that chair so that I can monitor your work."

"Heh. Thank you oh so much!" I said sarcastically.

"No problem." She replied.

I smiled. 'I like this. Controlling woman. She's hot, smart, obviously charming, and quite a whip. I don't think I could get tired of this one. Oh yes, the perfect fiancé. My cousin loves her, my sisters will love her, my mother will love her, and of course the elders will love someone who could keep me in check. Which she could, with the right outfit.'

"What are you smiling about, Li?"

"You." I answered as smoothly as I could.

She glared. "Please don't imagine any porno dreams with me as your victim, because it won't be happening."

"Well, it won't be happening NOW of course, but if you wanna, ya know, swing by later and uh............" I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.

"Shut up, you asshole. Give it up already, it's hopeless." She paused. "Wait, I've always said that everything's possible, so, there is hope, it's just looking extremely far away right now."

I sighed. "You're a whip, Kinomoto. When do I get to call you Sakura?"

"When I tell you that you're allowed to."

"Fine."

"Do your work and don't talk to me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes ma'am." I replied with a frown.

~~~~~~~~A few hours later~~~~~~~~

Sakura was still sitting in my chair and playing Solitaire on my computer happily. I had finished the math figures about ½ hour ago, but I didn't tell her that so that I had some time to figure out the first step of my plan to make her my fiancé. She turned around and looked at me. "What are you staring at now?"

"You."

She sighed. "Please don't. I'm going to head on home now, it's time for me to go anyways."

I pouted at her. "Are you sure you have to go so soon?"

"Yes, and please don't try to 1) offer me a ride. 2) Stalk me. 3) Grope or stare at my butt or chest as I walk out of the room. I'm going." And with that, she walked out of the door and slammed it behind her.

"Ouch." I muttered to myself. Now, to proceed with my plan. I picked up the phone and dialed the hotel number of the place we'd be staying for the convention that weekend.

"Hello, Cloud Nine Hotel, how may I help you?" (a/n- sorry about the crappy name!)

"Ah, yes, this is Li Syaoran and I'm calling about the reservations for this weekend."

"Of course, what would you like me to do?"

I smiled to myself. "I'd like you to make sure that me and my secretary, Sakura Kinomoto, get a room together, and make sure it only has 1 bed, and if you could, move the couch out."

"Sir, that will cost extra money."

"Not a problem. Fax the bill to me with the added expenses. Oh, one more thing. Make sure the room arrangements can't be changed."

"Of course, Sir."

"Thank you."

"Your very welcome, Sir, have a nice day."

And I hung up with a smile on my face. "Sakura Kinomoto, this is about to get very interesting."

The End

Kalli: Sorry the chapter's so short! But, here's the preview for the next chapter:

Sakura happily goes through her one last day of being Syaoran's master, and learns more about him as the remaining days until the Convention. When they finally get to the convention, Sakura is given a key to her room, and when she walks in, she gets quite the surprise.

Yamazaki: Did you know that conventions were originally meetings for butterflies who liked to eat a lo- *smack*

Kira: *twitchy eyebrow* Shut up, already.

Yamazaki: @.@

Kalli: Thank you. And PLEASE R+R!!!!!!!!! Review! Thank you very much! ^.^
