Chapter – 4

Sakura awoke from her slumber revealing her beautiful emerald eyes which were unfocused at the moment. She looked at the bed side table and saw that she was up early for once; she grinned at the thought of getting up at least ten minutes early. Glancing around her room, her gaze landed on the flowers Syaoran gave her. She smiled getting up and fingered the tips of the roses, a blush made its way across her cheeks as her eyes danced in pure happiness.

She gave one last smile towards the flowers and made her way to the bathroom. When she came out, she was surprised to find Syaoran lying comfortably on her bed. She gasped as she sat beside him and asked, "When did you get here?"

He smiled mischievously and said, "When you started grinning while looking at the clock."

"What! Then why didn't you tell me?" asked Sakura.

He shrugged and asked, "By the way what's gotten you grinning so early in the morning?"

She pouted cutely before answering, "I was basking in glory for being able to wake up early rather than having you wake me up all the time."

If she would have looked up, she would have seen the hurt look cross his eyes just for a second. He hid his emotions and asked in a rather hurt tone, "You don't like it when I wake you up? You could have said so, I would have sent Mei..." he trailed off not knowing what else to say.

Her head shot up hearing his words as she abruptly looked at him and blurted, "No, I love it when you wake me up."

He raised a brow at her as she blushed remembering what exactly she blurted out. She looked down fiddling with the hem of her shirt and stuttered, "I...I mean...I..."

His chuckle stopped her from her mid-stutter. She looked at him in confusion as he gazed at her with amusement evident in his eyes and asked, "Yes, what did you mean, Princess?"

She squirmed under his gaze and said, "Well, I didn't want to trouble you as... you might know by now... that I am not really... what you would call... a light sleeper"

His gaze softened as a genuine smile formed on his lips. He got up, supporting himself with the elbow and said, "I don't really mind waking you up every day, Ying Fa"

She looked up at him with a confused expression etched across her pretty face and asked, "What's Ying Fa?"

He chuckled, pinched her nose saying, "Ying Fa, in Chinese, means Sakura" and got out of the bed.

She pouted and got up too. They have been training for quite some time now and Sakura was getting better and better by each passing day. They even managed to stay clear of the prying sisters with the help of Meiling, who never stops saying random stuffs making both the magic users blush and avert eyes.

Just like any other day, Syaoran teleported both of them to his place and was appalled to come face to face with all his sisters standing in front of them with hands on their hips, evil smirk on their lips and mischievousness in the eyes.

He glared at them and asked, "What were you guys planning? To give us a cardiac attack and be on our way to the hospital?"

He turned to see how his cherry blossom was doing, only to be mesmerized by the absolutely adorable sight.

She stood beside him with one hand clutching his shirt and another on her heart; her eyes were widened in pure surprise as a soft 'hoe' left her lips. She inched closer to him when his sisters started grinning like maniacs.

"Oh shush it, little brother. You are the type to send people to the hospital not vice versa." Said Sheifa with a smirk.

He turned towards his sisters, glared and said, "Stop it, you guys are scaring her."

They didn't totally stop but restrained themselves from jumping on her. He sighed and asked, "What are you all doing here? At this hour? Normally you never get up before 9."

Hearing that, they turned towards him, glared, all at once and said, "Well, we wanted to meet Cherry Blossom but you never introduce us so we took matter into our hands. Yet you were sneaky enough to take her back to her place before we could get to her."

Sakura sweatdropped as Syaoran took up on an innocent act and asked, "What are you all talking about? I seriously have no idea. She has classes in the morning that's why I drop her off early."

Fanren glared harder saying, "Oh yeah… don't you remember a little birdie informing you of our movements?"

Before Syaoran could say anything Futie butted in saying, "Don't you dare dent it, little brother. We have already confronted Meiling."

Syaoran snorted, shrugged and said, "Well, you could hardly call Meiling a little birdie. She could make even the trolls crawl and hide under a rock."

"That's not the point. You hid her from us" shouted Sheifa while glaring at Syaoran who glared right back. They all were pretty pre occupied in their sibling silly fights that they forgot the person they were fighting for was already on her way to the main hall along with Feimei.

Syaoran, Sheifa, Fanren, Futie's jaw dropped when they saw both Feimei and Sakura talking and giggling. They all growled at once making Feimei jump up in surprise. She looked behind to see all her siblings making a mad dash towards them.

She quickly took hold of Sakura's wrist and ran inside, dragging her along. Everyone chased after Feimei and Sakura, yelling things along the lines of, "Get back here, you traitor."

"We were in this together, how could you do this to us?"

"Feimei, stop dragging Sakura all over the place like a rag doll" snarled Syaoran. Everyone snickered at him and many more threats and blackmailing words were being thrown back and forth all the while running around the mansion. Syaoran got fed up of the play and picked up his speed, using a little magic and grabbed Sakura, lifting her up bridal style and ran away.

Sakura giggled uncontrollably while holding on to Syaoran for her dear life. She looked behind him and found all of his sisters having triumphed grins on their faces which confused her. She knitted her eye brows together in thinking when they suddenly came to a halt. She looked up at Syaoran and saw him frozen while staring straight ahead of them.

She turned her face, followed his gaze and found herself staring at a beautiful woman gazing right back at them. She had long flowing black hair and fair complexion. Sakura was amazed at her beauty and then realized that she must be Syaoran's mother. She smiled at her but quickly blushed rivaling a tomato, realizing the position she is in.

She struggled against Syaoran and when he set her down, she quickly bowed, apologizing profusely for the rude behavior and mentally scolded her for giving such a first impression. She stopped when she heard giggling from behind her.

"You don't have to apologize, Sakura." Said Yelan as Syaoran wrapped his arm around her waist and straightened her. He unclasped his hands from her waist making her internally pout on the lost warmth and discreetly intertwined his hand with her. They both blushed a thousand shades of red but didn't let go each other.

Yelan smiled having noticed the gesture but didn't say anything and started walking towards the dining room, followed by the quadruplets who were busy gushing about Sakura and Syaoran and how they looked so cute together.

Both the blushing teens were left alone in the corridor with their hands clasped together. They looked at each other and after a few minutes broke out chuckling at the unexpected events.

Syaoran sighed, running a hand through his hair and said, "I am sorry. I didn't know they were planning something like that."

She smiled and hugged him saying, "No worries. No harm done and moreover I like them. They look like fun."

He scowled and before he could open his mouth to say something against it, she pinched his cheek and shook her head.

He bowed his head as a sign of giving in and smiled. They both stood there smiling at each other until Wei popped his head out of the door leading to the dining room and coughed breaking them out of their little reverie.

They blushed again and made a move to the dining room where everyone was helping themselves to an early breakfast with a sly grin plastered on their lips.
