Hey!

Here I am with chapter 10. I may not update in a while because I need to catch up on some Coursework that NEEDS to be done.

Well Thanks so much for the reviews and well enjoy…

Sakura woke up stretching squinting her eyes at her beside clock. It was 10.25 am. She dragged herself out of bed and into the kitchen. Making some toast she noticed a note on the fridge door.

Sakura,

Letting you know I have gone out.

Take it easy. You need your rest.

Later

Syaoran xxx

Sakura smiled and grabbed the butter, buttered her toast sat down and switched on her TV looking through the Li's family file. She realised that Nanto will definitely use the front door for his "surprising" entrance. Syaoran could be with his family in the hall. His family could run to the bathroom window and escape that way.

Nanto will try and enter everywhere though… Sakura thought frustrated shivering at the thought of his name. Sakura and Syaoran could securely lock all entrances. The Li Family have all been trained well to protect themselves. They can protect themselves once they are out the house. Then Sakura can go for Nanto. Syaoran needs to keep him occupied while the family makes their getaway.

Nanto knows how I fight though… Syaoran can help me tell me how to defend myself better… Sakura thought smiling remembering last night.

Startling Sakura, Syaoran came home. Sakura looked up and seen looked on to the TV. The Li Family were on there looking for their son. Sakura looked at Syaoran and Syaoran just nodded.

"You ran off without telling them?" Sakura wondered aloud.

"Yes. If they had known they wouldn't have let me go." Syaoran answered switching of the TV.

"Where were you this morning?" Sakura asked rather concerned.

Syaoran handed her a plastic wallet, "Your manager called. He was wondering if you could stop by and get the single designs. But I went and got them for you. Couldn't wake you. Your cute when you sleep" Syaoran laughed.

Sakura blushed heavily and looked down at the designs. There were five altogether. She picked design three, as it looked the coolest.

"He also said you need to pick a poster design" Syaoran explained.

Sakura looked back at the design picking design five for the cover of the single.

Design three was landscape with Sakura's hair blowing to the side with silver feathers blowing with it. Silver wings also enveloped her body. Design five was just her facing the front looking to the side with huge silver wings sprouted from her back.

"Wow. Cherushii did a good job." Sakura spoke aloud mesmerized by the beautiful designs.

"Who's that?" Syaoran asked

"She is my artist and sometimes does back in." Sakura explained. She got up and walked over to the phone and rang her manager.

"Hey. I have decided on some designs…" Sakura began

Syaoran looked over at what she was looking at before. Map of the mansion marking it in certain places. Sakura came off the phone and sat down beside Syaoran scanning the map.

"What are you doing?" Syaoran asked.

"Marking the possible entrances" Sakura explained. She then explained the whole plan she thought was decent enough.

"Sounds good." Syaoran agreed, "When do you have that photo shoot?"

"Tomorrow" Sakura answered, "There is another thing as well. I need to change my fighting style if I'm going to defeat him. He knows how I start and he knows how I fight all together. If I change then he doesn't stand a chance. Will you tell me how you fight like you do?" Sakura asked nicely.

Syaoran thought about it. He has never taught someone how to fight like he was taught before. But what she said was true, "Sure" Syaoran finally answered.

"Thanks!" Sakura sighed with relive. Then went back to work, "You have loads of entrances you do. We need to block single entrance" Sakura sweat dropped.

"Were going to have to fly in Thursday" Syaoran stated.

"Your parents and sisters are going to kill me." Sakura predicted.

"Well they will be angry yes. But they will understand when you tell them you were ordered. Why did he want to kill my Father anyway?" Syaoran wondered aloud.

"I don't know. I never ask these things because once I got beaten for it" Sakura told.

"What happened in your past? I'm sorry to bring it up but I would like to know" Syaoran asked putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into a strong embrace.

"I was ten. I lost my mother when I was three. Cancer." Sakura told breathing deeply "I was a sleep that night. I heard shouting." Sakura spoke as if she could barely remember it; "It woke me up I ran downstairs and seen my brother fall to the floor. I couldn't see that well since I was in darkness. Then he noticed me… I screamed. Someone held me back while he killed my father in front of my eyes." Sakura closed her eyes her breath shaking. She put her hands to her face wiping her eyes of the tears falling down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry." Syaoran said finally.

"It don't matter wasn't your fault." Sakura forced a smile. She relaxed leaning against his shoulder his arms around her like a safety blanket. Syaoran looked down at her and she smiled up at him. Sakura put her head in his lap using his leg as a pillow. Syaoran just merely stroked her hair feeling how soft it was. Her intoxicating scent of cherry blossoms reached his nose. He shivered at the beautiful smell.

Sakura moved and sat up facing him. Syaoran gave in. He grabbed the back of neck and pulled her to him their lips meeting. Sakura seemed shocked by this but instantly relaxed and closed her eyes and snaked her arms around his neck pulling him a tad closer. Syaoran still had one hand on her neck and the other round her waist pulling her closer till she was sitting on top of him on the couch kissing still sitting up.

Syaoran pushed her gently until she was lying down with her back on the couch Syaoran on top of her. Syaoran removed his lips from hers and started dancing feathery kisses on her neck and collarbone. Sakura kept her eyes shut until something she realized something was ringing knocking her back to reality.

"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered. Syaoran stopped and then he heard the ringing. Syaoran hoped off of her and handed her, her mobile. She took it from Syaoran and read who was calling. Nanto.

What does he want? Sakura thought. She handed the phone back to Syaoran telling him to answer it.

"Why?" Syaoran asked taking the phone back off her.

"I'm not here ok?" Sakura said walking off into her room.

Syaoran answered the phone and said politely as he could but failed.

"What do you want?" Syaoran said. An appropriate hello Syaoran thought.

"Pass me to Sakura." Nanto replied.

"No. Number one she asleep and do you think ill wake her up for you?" Syaoran hissed.

"Don't get smart with me boy. Give me to her now!" Nanto yelled.

"No. Whatever you can say to her you can say to me because she will just tell me anyway." Syaoran explained, "if this is about my family you can tell me and ill pass it on" Syaoran snarled.

"Yes it is. I was telling her when she was flying out." Nanto replied

"And you can't tell me that because ill be going with her you know?" Syaoran told.

"She is flying out Wednesday at midnight." Nanto explained rather pissed off.

"Whatever." Syaoran replied hanging up and switching the phone off, "Sakura" He called and she came out of the room.

"He was just telling you when you were flying out. You're flying out Wednesday at midnight. Even sooner than we wanted." Syaoran explained.

"Ok thanks." Sakura thanked, "I need to go out. Take my mind off everything. Coming?" Sakura asked.

"Sure." Syaoran answered.

Sakura left her apartment building and started walking to her left. Syaoran followed beside her and realised that about a hour later they were in some street that Sakura had not seen in 8 years. She walked right to the end until she was standing outside a house. The house was huge. Almost as big as the Li mansion. It was white with golden rims on the doors and windows. Sakura pushed open the golden gates and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard was beautiful. A fountain with a angel in the centre was still working just as it had 8 years ago. The flower garden was dead. Obviously the place has been deserted for years. Syaoran watched Sakura as she looked around the entire courtyard by standing in one place. She opened the front door which was locked she pulled a hair pin out her head and picked it.

"Sakura. Where are we?" Syaoran asked whispering not wanting to disturb the deserted peace of the house.

"This is where I lived when I was ten" Sakura explained.

When Sakura shut the front door her mind flew back in time. She looked in the corner where her brother should have supposedly died that night. She looked towards the centre of the room. The blood stained carpet. The memory flew in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes and breathed and then moved fast through the house. She moved into the large kitchen and then into a connected hallway. At the end of the corridor was a door that she had never opened before. Reason being was her parents had denied her entrance to the room.

She tried opened the door properly but it was locked. She picked the lock with the same hair clip and she pushed the handle again still she couldn't budge the door.

Probably because it was closed all the time and is now stuck stiff… Sakura thought. I don't want to destroy my home though… NO this is important.

Sakura did a spinning kick at the door and it budged slightly. She did it again but the door was stuck stiff. Sakura kicked the outskirts of the door and it flew open smacking off the wall inside.

Her mother had kept diaries when she was young. On the night her father had no clue who was attacking so Nanto had to have known her mum in some way. She explored the entire room until the only place she checked was a big chest kept in the far left corner of the room. She opened the chest, which was thankfully not locked. She pulled out one of her mum's diaries.

She handed one to Syaoran and he started reading not sure what he was looking for and gave Sakura a enquiring look.

"I remember when Nanto attacked my house that night that my Dad did not know him because he said so. So my mother must have known him in some way. That's what I'm looking for." Sakura explained.

"What was your mother's name?" Syaoran asked.

"Nadeshiko" Sakura answered.

"She knew my mum years ago but lost contact when your mum got married"

Sakura nodded and then went back to reading. She skim read the entries until she found his name.

"Got it!" Sakura exclaimed, "He wanted my dad dead because he was mad at him for taking my mother away from him. Before my mum died she says that she had a phone call from Yelan. Saying that he had met a guy. Not you father. Nanto. She got-" Sakura stopped opened her eyes in shock.

"What?" Syaoran asked.

"Nanto got your mum pregnant!" Sakura was about to be sick. Who in their right mind would sleep with him!

"I have always known Xiefa was my half sister. But I didn't know who her father was" Syaoran sounded calm.

"Disgusting. But anyway Yelan stopped Nanto from seeing Xiefa and he wanted you dad dead anyway for taking Yelan away from him but also wanted her dead because she wouldn't let him see Xiefa." Sakura continued

"How does you mum know all that?" Syaoran asked

"They were best friends and shared everything. According to this." Sakura answered, "He is pathetic" Sakura finished.

"Yeah wanting people dead just for a petty reason like that. That's just stupid" Syaoran agreed, " We had better go I'm getting tired." Syaoran put the diary back and stretched and walked out the room.

Sakura followed him out the room and shut it over. They were about to walk out the front door when Nanto came walking in. Sakura stopped dead wondering why he was here after eight years. Syaoran grabbed Sakura's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Sakura. My this is a surprise to find you here" Nanto began.

"Go away. Your pathetic!" Sakura screamed running into him on the way out. Covering her eyes wiping away her tears. Syaoran followed after her Nanto stopped him with his arm. Syaoran stopped looking up to face him with a angry yet questioning tone.

"What do you want?" Syaoran asked

"What have you found out?" Nanto adapting a tone like ice.

"Your reasons behind killing out families. That's why she says you're pathetic." Syaoran explained, "So you're Xiefa's father? God for once in my life I feel sorry my sister" Syaoran laughed once again continuing running after Sakura who was hiding behind a tree crying.

"Sakura." Syaoran began standing over her. He bent down so he was her height against the tree, "Sakura we have to go. He will find you here if you stay any longer."

"What did he want you for?" Sakura said.

"He asked me why you were upset. That's all." Syaoran said wiping her tears away with his thumb, "Come on. Lets get you out of here." Syaoran said picking her up bridal style.

"I can walk you know." Sakura stated wrapping one her arms round Syaoran's neck for safety.

"What if I don't let you walk?" Syaoran teased.

Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes and relaxed leaning her head against Syaoran shoulder. Syaoran put her down when they reached her apartment. He glanced at the clock it was 5pm.

Better start dinner while she sleeps… Syaoran thought wondering into the kitchen.

Sakura woke up to a sound of crashing and a yell sounding like "fucking appliances." Sakura rolled off the couch and went to the kitchen to find Syaoran hitting the cooker with a cooking pan.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked startling Syaoran from the doorway.

"What time is it?"

"6pm." Sakura answered, "How long have you been trying to work it?" Sakura asked.

"An hour" Syaoran answered. Sakura just burst out laughing and grabbing the phone.

"What you want?"

"From where?" Syaoran asked.

"Chinese" Sakura replied.

"Anything, im Chinese remember" Syaoran slapping her on the forehead gently. Sakura glared playfully at him and dialled the number and put it to her ear.

"Hello id like a order delivered please. Can I have chicken curry and rice twice please." Sakura ordered, "Yeah that Tokyo Apartment Building Number 8 door 10. Thanks bye" Sakura hung up and put the phone back in its stand.

Sakura was pulled back around the waist and yelping when Syaoran bit her ear. Sakura turned around prying his teeth from her ear and looked up at him. Sakura just got lost in his eyes like she had the night they met. Not noticing but Syaoran pinched her but playfully. Sakura jumped and hit him playfully on the shoulder.

"Perv" Sakura named. Syaoran then grabbed her around the waist again this time his lips meeting hers in a passionate kiss. Syaoran was quite taller than Sakura so she had to go up on tiptoes slightly. Syaoran grabbed her around the waist lifting her off her feet still kissing her and carried her into the bedroom. When he shut the door he pushed her up against it. Sakura could not touch the floor because of how hard Syaoran was leaning into her. Syaoran began to slowly lift her top up. He started placing butterfly kisses up and down her neck.

"Syaoran. Not now…" Sakura moaned knowing what he wanted.

Syaoran stopped and leaned back a bit so she could at least stand on the floor.

"We will one day. But I don't feel exactly ready to go to the final step yet. Hugging and kissing in the bed yeah but not all the way yet. Please?" Sakura explained wishing at that moment that she didn't open her big mouth.

Syaoran looked quite hurt by this but then thought that she was right. If she's not ready. I'll wait. He thought.

"I'll wait" He said kissing her again.

"Thanks." Sakura said when they broke apart when the doorbell rang. She grabbed 20 yen out her purse and handed the money to the delivery boy and then handed the food to Syaoran and went to sit down at the table.

"What?" Syaoran complained.

"You wanted to make dinner but you're to blonde to work the cooker" Sakura teased. Syaoran wondered into the kitchen and grabbed to plates and 2 glasses and cutlery set the table when he got round to Sakura side. He placed the forks down and started tickling her in all her weak points.

"Syaoran STOP!" Sakura screamed.

Yeah I know not that good of a ending but I didn't know how to end it.

So please review. Thanks again very MUCH!

Destiny!
