"UMMM, I don't know what you are talking about Li so I"m just going to go to bed. You
know that collapse made me tired. Good night." she faked out a yawn and walked over to her bed.
He caught her arm and gazed into her eyes with his serious expression. "It's noon."
Sakura didn't answer, she was to aware of his hand touching hers. He's so warm she
thought. Isn't he supposed to be all cold? and he's not pale like ghosts in the movies. More like
a tan. He was wearing a white, long sleeved shirt, the top two buttons weren't buttoned leaving
his chest bare. His pants were a matching black.
He let go as he saw Sakura looking uncomfortable. "Go get something to eat." he opened
the door revealing no Touya.
"Thank You." she mumbled and awkwardly walked out the door, unaware of Li's eyes planted
protectively on her.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
Sakura walked into the kitchen and made herself a sandwich, chomping it down mouthful
after mouthful.
"And how are we feeling?"
Sakura's mood suddenly darkened as she saw the figure entering the room. "Fine
grandmother." she took the last bite of her sandwich, thankful that she could leave.
"Oh? no smart aleck remark? are you sure your feeling fine?"
Sakura ignored her and bit her lip in order not to have a comment fly from her mouth.
"Well if your okay, you'll be starting school tomorrow. Young ladies should have a good
education."
Sakura nodded but then curiously asked her. "Where's aunt Chigusa?"
"In the garden why?"
She smiled but didn't answer her grandmother's question. "Gotta go!"
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Aunt Chigusa?! You here?" she nervously walked into the garden.
"What is it dear?"
Sakura gasped. Everywhere she looked there were flowers and tall beautiful trees. The
warm air was blowing Sakura petals in all directions. "It's beautiful. Did you plant them all
yourself?"
Chigusa looked at her as if she was crazy. "No my son helped me."
"You have son? You never told me?"
Chigusa chuckled. "No I never married so I adopted a son." she patted the earth
underneath her softly. "He's a great help. I let him go on a break right now but he'll be back.
You can see him then."
Sakura shrugged and knelt down beside her aunt. "I was just wondering Aunt Chigusa,do
you know anything about the past of this mansion?"
Chigusa brushed her blonde bangs away from her eyes. "What do you want to know?"
"Well do you know anything about a man named Li Syaoran?"
She hesitated before answering. "He used to live in this very mansion."
Sakura waved for her to continue. "I already know that, keep going."
"He fell in love with a young girl." she stopped at studied Sakura. "Too bad she didn't
feel the same way."
"Keep going......"
"Uh, that's all I know."
Sakura sighed. Why doesn't anybody know anything? Or maybe there's something they're not
telling me. Oh well I'll figure it out.
"Hey mom! I brought the seeds you wanted." An attractive blue haired boy handed his mom
a few green seeds and came face to face with Sakura.
"Hey, I'm Eriol what's your name beautiful?" he flashed her an adorable smile that
would have captured any girl's heart.
"Oh I'm Sakura Kinomoto." She watched curiously as he stiffened at the name Kinomoto.
Geez why's everyone so uptight around here?
"It's nice to meet you Sakura. My mom's told me alot about you. Sorry about your father."
"It's okay I'm over it. Listen I better go see you later." she waved and quickly ran off
leaving Eriol very confused.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Sakura! I was looking for you everywhere! what are you doing?" Touya observed his sister
punch in different keys on the keyboard.
"I'm looking something up."
Touya had never seen his sister this focused on a task. "For what? You didn't even start
school yet and I know you, you wouldn't do anything if you didn't have to."
"It's for a friend."
Touya's eyebrows rose as did his curiousity. "You don't mean that guy sharing the same
room with you do you? "
"It's a favour."
"I'm telling you that guys unatural and the way he stares at you. It's freaky."
That caught Sakura's attention. "How does he stare at me Touya."
"He looks at you like your his, like he's obsessed or something. Tell me how does he
act?"
Sakura clucked her tongue. "He doesn't really like me and so he said if I would help him
figure his problem out he would leave me alone." It was a lie she knew but it was close to the
truth. Anyways he wouldn't find out.
"He doesn't like you?"
Sakura thought about it for a minute. "I think he likes me as a friend but he loves
someone else. You can see it in his eyes."
"So your telling me you like him?!" Touya waved his hands in the air furiously.
"I don't like him." Okay maybe that was another lie, because physically she was. "HE
IS A FRIEND TOUYA." she paused after every word to put more emphasism in her meaning.
"Whatever." he sighed in defeat. "Just a little word of advice sis. You've been having
some real bad luck with men these past few years and just make sure you're careful around him.
Who knows what his objective is."
Sakura couldn't belive how untrustworthy her brother was. "Well I'm done here. I think I
should take a nap. Wake me up for dinner." Tired, she dragged herself upstairs.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Hi Li I don't want to talk now. Too tired." her whole body felt heavy as she dropped
onto her bed. Immeadiately she fell asleep.
Past events
"Time to wake up my princess."
Sakura felt herself wake up. She gave The young amber haired boy a full hearted smile.
Her whole body went fuzzy as he did the same.
"We must plan the rest of our wedding today Emike. It's in a week."
I'm dreaming again Sakura thought. This time I have control, I better just play along for
now. "Good Morning Li!" she watched as he frowned. Darn, I'm supposed to call him Syaoran not
Li. Stupid.
"I mean Syaoran." she changed hoping he wouldn't notice too much. The name felt funny
coming out of her mouth. "What else do we need to plan?"
Syaoran lifted Sakura out of bed and she giggled. He's such a gentleman, I wish he was
like this always."
"The seamstress needs to make the final touches on your wedding dress Emike. They're
waiting for you in the other room. I have to go to a conference but I'll see you later okay?"
Sakura felt a surge go through her as she no longer had control, no longer existed. The
spotlight had returned to Emike."
"I'll see you later Syaoran my love." she couldn't seem to help herself. Quickly she
leaned in and gave him a small kiss right on his lips. It seemed to linger as Syaoran returned
the kiss.
"What are we doing Emike?" he whispered in between.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently pushed her toungue into his mouth. She
giggled at how easy Syaoran was manipulated. "We're simply being the couple we are my love."
Sakura awakes
"Syaoran?" she murmured quietly.
This made Li curious. She never called him by his first name before.
"Stop. Emike doesn't love you, you have to stop." she woke up suddenly covered in sweat.
She ran to her mirror and checked herself over. "It didn't happen, that didn't happen. You're
okay."
Hesitating she turned around. "You didn't hear anything did you?"
Li didn't know what to say. He was dumbfounded. Why would Sakura be dreaming about Emike
and me?
"What was your dream about?"
"Nothing" she squeaked.
"I heard what you said Kinomoto now tell me what your dream was about."
Sakura took in a deep breath. "I.. no You and Emike were doing stuff thats all." she made
sure not to tell him she was Emike and that she had felt the love in his kiss. But her kiss
definetly didn't.
She watched for the first time as Li blushed.
"You have dreams about my past?" he sounded angry and a little frusterated.
"HEY IT"S NOT MY FAULT!"
"You know what? forget about helping me. Your just making it worse. You shouldn't be
watching my past. Maybe you should leave this room."
Sakura's eyes glistened with her tears. "Fine I'll tell grandmother to move me after
dinner. Touya was right, I shouldn't be in this room but you just don't know how wrong you are
buddy. I'm still going to help you and I don't care about what you think, even if you are a jerk,
no one should ever be broken-hearted." she blinked away her tears.
"I know what it feels like to have you heart shattered by someone you thought loved you."
"Sakura! it's time for dinner." Touya walked into the room hoping to find his sister
sleeping instead he found her packing her things. "You going somewhere?"
"You were right I'm moving out Touya."
Usually he would've felt happy that Sakura actually listened to him but he couldn't help
but feel angry.
"Okay Li what did you do to her?"
Li was beginning to feel really bad. "I didn't do anything, I told her to get another
room because I uh, know you wanted her too."
"Oh" he said. "Well come down for dinner Sakura" he left the room without saying anything
else.
Sakura headed for the dresser but was stopped by Li.
"I.. I..I don't want you to leave Sakura. You can stay if you want."
"I don't want to be a burden Li."
He looked down to the ground, embarrassed. "I want you to stay Sakura."
Sakura smiled. "Is that an apology Li?"
He nodded, still not facing her.
"Okay then I'll stay Li. So does this mean we're friends?"
He didn't reply and Sakura thought that was cute. Unable to contain herself she flung
herself onto him, giving him a warm hug. She was glad when he didn't pull away. "I'll make things
right Li, you just watch. Emike will be yours again."
Li didn't know what Sakura meant but until now he hadn't realized how lucky he was to
have someone like Sakura. Hopefully she can be something more in the future.........
What a weird ending eh? but hey I was tired and I just wanted to finish this chappie soo
bad. Stay tuned for the future chappies. In the next one Sakura will be starting school. How
exiting! hahaha. Well I'm signing off for now c-ya - silent wanderer.
