CHAPTER 3: Making the Move
It was the second day of Fujitaka's limits. Sakura was sitting on her bed, watching the rain fall down her window. She felt depressed about everything.
'I wonder if anyone knows about my father's condition…' she thought. 'It would be so…bad if anyone…knew…Who cares.'
"Miss Sakura, Tomoyo-san is on the phone. Shall I dismiss it?" Sakura's personal maid came in asking.
"No, Amaria. Let me speak with her." Sakura didn't even look at her when she said this. She was still watching the rain poor down from the sky like the tears she had shed from her eyes (Hey! That rhymes! This is mine too, biyatch! LOL!)
Taking the phone, Sakura said, "Hi Tomoyo."
"SAKURA! I heard what happened to Fujitaka-san! Oh, you must be so devastated!" Tomoyo cried into the phone. "Oh, Sakura! I'm so sorry! I—is there anything I can do to help?"
"No…Tomoyo. There's nothing you have to do anymore."
"Anymore? What do you mean?"
"I needed money for the operation to fix up my dad…You know how Kinomotos handle the money. Whoever is the head leader of the business has full access to the family fortune. Thus, no one else does but them. My dad is currently that high ranking person. I'm not; unless he dies and in his Will I'm sure he passed it on to me. But…" Sakura explained, "…the point is to save him! It would be pointless to let him die, get access to the money, and have no one to save!"
"Sakura, calm down. I know. I can give you the money! I can and will!"
"No…you mean lend."
"No, Sakura, you know I will give you the money. I love you; you are my best friend in the whole world."
"I already have the money problem solved…it's too late."
"What? That's great! Um, how?"
"I'm going to live with Syaoran Li. And in return, he is going to pay off my father's operation."
If you were outside of Tomoyo's mansion, you'd still here her screaming. "WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTT THE FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK!"
"Tomoyo! I know. I should've told you earlier. But…I tried to kill myself—"Sakura tried to say.
Once again, after hearing her best friend say that she wanted to kill herself, "WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTT THE FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK!"
"TOMOYO! I just couldn't call you! I was so depressed and scared and—a Li happened to be there!"
Sakura decided to leave out the part of him being the one to almost kill her and to leave out the part of trying to kill herself again.
"Sakura-chan! I love you so much and I'm so glad you're alive! THAT LI BASTARD! Don't you know that SYAORAN Li is a PLAYBOY freak and has FLINGS all the TIME?" Tomoyo raved. "Who KNOWS what he'll DO to MY poor little cherry blossom?"
"Tomoyo…you are the best, best friend anyone could ask for."
"Sakura…" Tomoyo started to cry. "You don't know what that means to me. I can't imagine being in your position right now. What'll the news say? Your dad? Your business? Oh, Sakura."
"I don't know…I don't even know how to run a business. Heck, I don't even know what my family business does!"
Sakura and Tomoyo talked for 4 hours. When they hung up, Sakura felt better. But when she remembered about her deal, her stomach sank again and she felt lost and trapped.
Dah dum
Sakura finished her lunch in her bed. She was so bored, but she didn't want to do anything but sit there. She grabbed her laptop from her headboard table and logged into her chatting system. No one was online. Sakura sighed. The world seemed to stop.
"Tap tap"
There was someone outside of her window. It was Syaoran, in the flesh.
"Ah! Li-san?"
"Lemme in, bitch!" he was soaking wet outside in the rain. How did he get up to her three story tall mansion?
"Oh! Right!" Sakura scrambled for the window lock and let him in. "Oh! You're all wet! Here, use this."
"Damn right I'm wet!" Syaoran said as he used Sakura's towel to dry himself off. "Your stupid maids and damn servants wouldn't let me in! So I had to climb that nice cherry tree outside of this window."
"I—I'm so sorry! I'll t-t-tell them to let you in next time!" Sakura was flushed. How embarrassing!
"There won't be a next time."
"What?"
"The reason I came was to take you back to my place. I already took care of your father's thing, so now I need the second half to my deal: You."
Sakura's stomach sank again. She was so depressed, and now…
"Ok. Let me pack my things."
Dah dum
Sakura walked down the stairs ever so slowly with Syaoran, who was carrying her two luggages and Sakura was pulling a roller luggage.
"Sakura-san?" It was Joe. Maids that were around walked slowly towards the two and joined Joe.
"I'm…leaving. For now! Dad's operation is going to be in session. But for now, I have to leave." Sakura said looking down.
"What do you mean?" Joe asked almost rudely. "You're leaving with him? A Li?"
Sakura didn't know what to say. Should she tell them about the deal?
"Look, she wants to get away for a while. Got it? Don't question your Mistress's moves," Syaoran spat and glared at the bunch. He continued down the stairs.
Sakura stood there with her hair covering her face. "I'm sorry. Please take care of the house. I'll be back soon!" She looked up and faked a smile. With that, she walked down the stairs.
Outside the Main Door
Sakura used her free hand to hold up her umbrella.
"Li-san, you can use my umbrella—thank you for holding my things…" Sakura blushed at that.
"So you want me to share your umbrella? Jeez, I guess you want me bad," Syaoran said and he went under her umbrella. They walked towards his car.
"W-w-what? N-n-no! I was j-just!"
"You're cute when you say stuff like that. Now get in the car."
Sakura turned redder then she was and stepped in. Syaoran took away her umbrella and put her things in the trunk, and got in himself. Joe looked at them from the window.
'I hope she'll be alright. I watched her grow up since she was little. If anything happens to her, I owe Fujitaka-san my life,' he thought sadly.
In the car
"So. What do you like in your room?" Syaoran asked as he drove.
"M-me? Um. Anything is fine, Li-san," Sakura stammered.
"You like pink, huh? And I saw you had a laptop. You didn't bring that along. Hmm, and your towel. Typical, pink."
Sakura stared at him. She was surprised at everything he said.
'He paid attention to everything in my room.'
Syaoran pulled out his cell. "Hey, it's Syaoran. Yeah. I want medium, pink, a laptop, and some green cause I like green," he said into the phone.
Sakura blushed. What was he talking about? It certainly had to do with her, she knew that.
They arrived at his mansion. It was like Sakura's, but it was a lot more historic looking. It gave her the chills.
"Alright, here we are," Syaoran said, getting out of the car.
Sakura noticed that Syaoran paid no attention to the two men behind his trunk. They had opened it and taken her things out and walked into the mansion. Two other men were holding umbrellas up for them, as two others were doing the same for her and Syaoran.
'Wow, I guess he's used to this.'
They walked into his place and up the stairs. Soon, they arrived in front of a door and Syaoran opened it.
"This is your room," Syaoran said.
Inside, she saw pink wallpaper, a walk in closet, a huge bathroom, two green bean bag chairs, a desk, etc. There was just a lot of stuff that she can do. The only thing missing, she noticed right away, was a bed.
"Li-san, this…thank you. Um…where will I be sleeping? There's…no bed, not to be rude! I am truly grateful!" Sakura said quietly.
"Duh, you don' t need a bed in here," Syaoran said. "Every night, or whenever you wanna sleep, you go two rooms down that way, and there's a bed for you. Here, I'll show you."
He took Sakura's hand and led her to the room he was indicating to. Inside, almost everything was green. It was similar to Sakura's room, but bigger. The things inside were different though. There was a computer, not a laptop, and there were no bean bag chairs. There was a big flat screen TV, a book shelf filled with books, and some serious looking things. And sure enough, there was a king-sized bed in the middle.
"Ano…" Sakura started, "…is this, your room?"
"Yeah!" Syaoran said.
"I'm supposed to sleep with y-you?"
"Yeah, who else?"
"I was…expecting my own bed. In my room."
"Oh, well, guess too late, huh?" Syaoran teased. "What? I'm not good enough for you?"
"Huh?" Sakura blushed at his last comment. Syaoran closed his door and began to take off his clothes.
"Wh-what ar-are y-you doin-g?" Sakura asked frightened. 'Oh no…I'm in deep shit.'
"As you noticed, I'm still wet. I gotta take a nice hot shower before I catch a cold or something." Syaoran stopped and eyed her. "What? You wanna take a shower with me or something?"
"NO!" Sakura answered a little too fast. Do playboys always have a dirty mind?
"Ok! Then make yourself at home!" he dropped his wet shirt, pants, and tie on the ground. Sakura was surprised someone like him didn't take off his boxers, but she was glad. She had a nice view of his lean muscles and broad shoulders. Syaoran walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
Sakura didn't know what to do. She should really put her clothes away, but she didn't know where those servants or whatever put her things. She knew! She quietly opened the door and closed it behind her. Then she went to her own and turned on the laptop Syaoran provided for her. She logged onto her chatting system and saw that Eriol was online.
Chatting Screen
TincyWincyHOTxGUY: Sakura! Gosh I tried calling you, but your people said you were at SYAORAN LI's HOUSE! I didn't wanna believe it.
xMELoDYxSTaRx: Hey Eriol. Well, it's true. I'm here, right now.
TincyWincyHOTxGUY: Oh my god. Watter u doing dere? A LI! Omg…
xMELoDYxSTaRx: I know I know. Forget it. Why'd u call?
TincyWincyHOTxGUY: i..heard about your dad. Tomoyo told me.
xMELoDYxSTaRx: Don't worry about it…so! Did you ask her out yet?
TincyWincyHOTxGUY: No…I was going to, but she mentioned your dad and I got sad and yeah.
Sakura was chatting for a while, but fell asleep on the floor. Syaoran walked in to see her there and chuckled. He walked over to her and saw the screen. The only thing he saw was:
TincyWincyHOTxGUY: Ok, bye Sakura. Hope you feel better and remember, I love you.
Syaoran got mad inside. So she already has a boyfriend? He wasn't surprised, but he didn't want her to talk to this, TincyWincyHOTxGUY as long as she was with him! He picked her up and carried her back to his room. He took out one of his shirts. He turned around and looked at her sleeping body on his bed.
'What a bitch,' he thought.
He went over to her and took off her jacket, top, and jeans. All that was left was her bra and undies. He unclasped her bra strap and threw on his shirt on her without even looking at whatever became revealed.
'Man, my shirt looks really big on her; that's weird.'
He slipped into bed and tried to sleep, but the figure next to him was too much to take. He put his arms under 'her' shirt and hugged her waist.
'That's better…' and he fell asleep.
The next day
Sakura opened her eyes and noticed she was in bed.
'Oh great, I'm probably in Li's bed.'
She struggled to turn around and fall asleep again, but she couldn't. She felt someone under her shirt, on her belly, and hugging her way to tight.
"AH!" she screamed.
Syaoran lunged forward and Sakura came face to face with the pillow she was sleeping on. Syaoran was on top of her back and he looked down at her face.
"What? You wanna do it now?" Syaoran teased.
"HOEE! You startled me, Li-san! I—I! Um, you're heavy." Sakura said breathlessly.
He flipped her over so that she was on top of him now. He stared into her distant eyes and his own softened.
"Sakura, are you OK with living here?"
He didn't even wait for her response and he pushed her down and kissed her. Sakura became surprised and struggled to get out of his grip, but it was impossible. She didn't kiss back.
"Mmm!" she muffled.
Syaoran let her lips go, but held onto her waist. Sakura laid her forehead on his chest, as much as she hated to do that, it was the only she could get away from his gaze.
"I—I don't want anything to—to do with you in that kind of way, Li-san," Sakura said.
"Too bad, that's what I want you here for."
He lifted her head again and put his opened mouth on hers. Sakura was about to resist by screaming, but her mouth was only welcomed by his tongue. He kissed her in a rhythmic way and Sakura kissed back this time. She had never been kissed before, and two days ago, she lost her first kiss to him. Sakura dug her hands into his hair and kissed back with force. Syaoran moved and went on top of her, and that was when she realized what she was wearing.
"AH! WHO CHANGED MY CLOTHES?"
"Uh…Me?"
"AH! YOU—YOU!"
"What, bitch?"
"I'm—I'm NOT A BITCH! YOU ALWAYS CALL ME THAT YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD!"
Syaoran was surprised.
"Hoe! I—I'm s—sorry, Li-san." Syaoran was paying for her dad's operation, and she didn't want to be mean. She was grateful, even though she had to live with him.
"Call me Syaoran. No, I like a girl who can stick up for herself. But I swear, I didn't do anything to you. I didn't even look! All I did was put a shirt on you, that's all. Besides, I want you to be awake when we do it…"
With that he kissed her hard again. Sakura kissed back hungrily. She had never felt anything like it. He started to kiss down her neck and his hands went under her shirt a bit.
"Li...-san…" she moaned.
"It's Syaoran." His hands went up to her breasts and he brushed his thumb against one.
"S-Syao…Syaoran! We can't…I can't…" Sakura said. She pushed him off and went into his bathroom.
'Whatta hot bitch,' Syaoran thought.
Ah! I'm all done with this chapter! Did you guys like it or what? Haha tell me what you think!
