"Are you insane!" Tomoyo whispered sitting on the bed. Her shocked expression locked on Sakura. "No wonder you didn't want to go."
Sakura shook her head sitting next to Tomoyo. "No! I didn't know he was coming!"
"So. . . Oh my god! Sakura did you and him?" Tomoyo laughed eyeing Sakura.
"Honestly Tomoyo!" Sakura frowned pulling away. "No I didn't." She flushed looking away.
Tomoyo looked confused. "Why? Have you seen Syaoran?" She asked indecorously.
Sakura giggled nervously. "I wanted to, really wanted to, but I just didn't want to. . . not yet, you know?" Her eyes sparkled.
"You need to be careful Sakura, if Touya finds out about this. I don't know what-" she shut her mouth not wanting to speak her fears. Sakura hugged her best friend around the shoulders.
"I know, I'll be killed."
"So how was it?" Tomoyo inquired, an evil grin appeared on her face. "Is he good?" Her amethyst eyes flashed evilly.
Sakura blushed, smiling brightly. "He knows what he's doing." She replied dreamily falling back on her bed. She felt somewhat weird being in love so soon with Syaoran, but it felt right. It was a good weird or at least she hoped so.

Sitting at the breakfast table Kenji and Shay sat glaring at Syaoran. It was a new bright sunny day. His attitude soared high by the thoughts of last night swirling fresh in his head. He wanted to be with Sakura again - even just to hold her in his arms. This was a first for him though. Sure with his great looks he had many girlfriends, but Sakura was different. She was special.
"Where the hell were you?" Kenji scowled at Syaoran.
Syaoran carelessly looked at his friend. "Why?"
"Why? I'll tell you why! Your damn father!" Shay shouted getting Syaoran's stony glare.
"Where I was is none of you concern." His cool calm voice rang out.
"You were with that whore again weren't you?" Kenji snapped getting up from his chair.
Syaoran's good mood was ruined by Kenji's choice of words about his innocent girlfriend. Getting up Syaoran glared deadly at Kenji. "I'd watch that mouth of yours before-"
"You're threatening me over some random slut?" Kenji snorted rudely at Syaoran.
He had had enough of Kenji; thus in a swift liquid like movement he clobbered Kenji. Falling flat on his backside. Syaoran turned his back towards Shay and Kenji, and left the room.
"Damn! Dude what the hell?" Shay snarled. "You're a loser!"
Kenji rubbed his sore jaw wiping the blood from his broken lip.
Syaoran growled walking down the hall annoyed with his stupid friends. How dare he say such things about his innocent Sakura? His mind wandered to Sakura; he smiled thinking of her, like he always did when he thought of her. Syaoran wanted to be next to her as she woke, he wanted to be with her. He had to make things right, somehow.
"You!" His thoughts interrupted yet again. Syaoran's lazy gaze fell upon his father's fuming face. "Did I not tell you that last nights meeting was very important?"
Syaoran shrugged not caring. He was busy last night. Doing more pleasurable things than going to some numbing meeting his father was having.
"Do you have no shame? Where the hell were you last night?" His father shouted clenching his fists tightly. "You've made a fool of me for the last time, you good for nothing bag of worthless manure!"
Syaoran shook his head at his dear father passing him without a care. He was through with his father. He was sick of his rude, ruthless voice, glaring hate filled eyes, everything about his own father.
Xiao Lang turned around watching his son walk away. "You're out of here! I want you to leave my house now!" He shouted breathlessly.
Syaoran stopped in his tracks slowly turning about to face his father. "I'll be back to get my things."
Was all he said, smirking just to make his father's temper flare.

Xiao Lang banged his large fist against his office table; Shay, Hideki and Kenji stood before their leader. The leader of the Emeralds sat back in his leather chair with his chin in hand; his eyes cold and glazed with burning rage. His son was leaving the gang. He was no longer an Emerald. No Heir for the Emeralds. He, Xiao Lang Li no longer had a son. He was finally rid of that pain in the neck.
"Get Zagato on the phone." Xiao Lang's deep cold voice ordered rudely.
Hideki's blue eyes widened hearing the name. Stepping forward in protest he opened his mouth but Xiao Lang held his hand in front of him.
"Shut it!"
He glared at his leader in defiance. "How could-" Hideki's voice was cut short as Xiao Lang stood towering over Hideki.
"What I do is my business. I don't want to hear what you have to say!" He looked at Shay. "Get Zagato on the phone, now!" Shay nodded his head and stepped back pulling out his cell phone. Hideki stood in shock. He knew Syaoran for years, matter of fact, eleven years.
Syaoran and Hideki were close. He crossed his arms over his chest still glaring deeply. Hideki knew what calling one of Sanosuke's men meant. Fighting the urge to beat Xiao Lang and Shay for following orders he stood alone in the middle of the office.
"Sir, Zagato is on his way over." He heard Shay speak, closing his eyes momentarily. He turned on his heels rapidly leaving the room in search of his friend.
That night Syaoran came for his things. Packed all his belongings, said goodbye to his deeply saddened mother. He kissed her cheek and told her not to worry. And that she'd be happier for him now that he was leaving.
She held him tightly not wanting to let him go but slowly let go of her son. Xiao Lang had heard it from her that night and mornings to come. Her only son had left the house more then a week ago. She hadn't heard from him since he left. Yelan cried herself to sleep every night as Xiao Lang sat in his office with meeting after meeting.
Hideki hadn't talked to Syaoran, he couldn't find him nor could he get a hold of him on the phone as well. It was like Syaoran had fallen off the face of earth. His restaurant was still open, still in business.
Hideki worried about his lost friend. He knew what Xiao Lang was planning but now he couldn't tell Syaoran even if he did find him. He'd be killed for betraying the damned Emeralds. He prayed somehow, someway Xiao Lang's plan would fail.
