Full Summary:

"Why this question? "

"Because the woman I watched is not the little girl I left behind" he retorted bitterly. "You are integrated in this world, Sakura! You move like a princess. Everyone bends in your way, surrender to your conversation and your smile. Your stepmother was a good teacher! You have the most powerful man in the empire stuck to your charm and a step away from your bed..."

My hand snapped in his face, with such force that the echo spread through room. I almost scream, such was my revolt.

"How are you able to suggest something so heinous?" I snarl wounded.


Thank you my wonderful beta : xCrazyKindOvWeirdx


Boys and Girls here I present you with some fluff! And this is the chapter of the summary!!! :D


Last Chapter:

I slid into the room and locked the door. Suddenly, two strong arms embraced my body, while a large hand, but delicate, silenced my lips.

"The wretch is gone?!" Asked the intruder to my ear. I would recognize that voice anywhere in the middle of a crowd. I would recognize it if was a grain of soil in the garden, or a piece of tree in the forest.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter XIII ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


This time, the thrill that traveled my body was instinctive, warm and exciting. I nod, and Syaoran let me face him. He was shaking as much as I was, but the reason was different.

"One day... I swear that one day I will kill that bastard! He will pay dearly for daring to touch you!" His eyes glowed with the fire of hatred.

I forced myself to react and ran to close the curtains. I could guess how Syaoran entered, taking advantage of the confusion and merging with the crowd. But leaving was not so easy. And we could not take that risk. If Lord Fujitaka caught him in my room, he would kill him with his own hands.

I turned to him slowly as I face him. It has been two years since the last time I saw him, and Syaoran was different. More mature. That or I have grown and now saw him other eyes! The eyes of a woman... And I loved the change! I wanted to run to his arms but my legs shook so much, which threatened to yield under the weight of my body.

I was reminded of the clandestine conversations of young maids by the end of the night when returning from little encounters with her boyfriends. Talks about audacious kissing, the burning caresses that made the blood turn to fire and the breath halt to a stop. Would I feel like that if I touched Syaoran?

I blushed further, to realize that all my thoughts are stated on my face.

I swallow in dry when he started to approach. There was no hatred in his eyes now. I realized the effort that he made to breathe and the nervousness that linked his movements. He touched my face with such tenderness, that someone would say he was afraid to shatter me.

"I was watching you, but the distance did not allow me to understand how grown up you are." He whispered so low that I poorly understood. "You look beautiful, Saks!"

I closed my eyes, enjoying the contact. The emotion was too strong to hide. With my heart trying to jump from my chest, I forced myself to face him, opening my lips to breathe. My innocent gesture had a strange effect. Syaoran retreated a step, and holding his breath, as if the distance was not enough to resist the temptation to hold me, he passed by me and covers up in the shadow of the curtains.

"Ryuu and Eriol send you a kiss and wish you all happiness in world, in your birthday. Eriol was heartbroken that he could not visit you. But he's in a crucial phase of his education, and his teachers do not allow him to leave the town. But after what I saw and heard today, I am relieved that so. I doubt that he was better received than Ryuu."

The outflow of Syaoran was not far from the truth. The aversion to the new religion and its practice was to become an unequal battle of wills. It was public that the allies of Lord Fujitaka were pressing him to take a position on the role of his child, which left him only two options: either call Eriol to join us, or renounce him. Though enchanted by Myrna, I believed there was still a ray of goodness and wisdom in the heart of my father. Just that explained the postponement of the decision. Secretly, I prayed for his tolerance to give sufficient time for Eriol to complete the training and face the evil that haunted us.

"How are they, Syaoran?" I asked anxiously.

He hesitated slightly before answering:

"Eriol is determined and confident in the future. As for Ryuu... There are few men like your brother! He's stronger and more determined than ever." Syaoran deliberately avoided the details about the actions of Ryuu and hence his own. But I needed to know the truth.

"I have heard the stories" I insisted "Fantastic stories but contradictory... For the noble, you are pirates, mercenaries and renegades. For the people, you are heroes."

"And you Saks? What do you think?" he interrupted cautiously. "What are we to you?"

I frowned, without realizing where he wanted to reach.

"Why this question? "

"Because the woman I watched is not the little girl I left behind" he retorted bitterly. "You are integrated in this world, Sakura! You move like a princess. Everyone bends in your way, surrender to your conversation and your smile. Your stepmother was a good teacher! You have the most powerful man in the empire stuck to your charm and a step away from your bed..."

My hand snapped in his face, with such force that the echo spread through room. I almost scream, such was my revolt.

"How are you able to suggest something so heinous?" I snarl wounded. "Do you know how much I have suffered, or how difficult it is to live here? I feel like a defenseless rabbit within a pack of wolves! You know what is being forced to laugh when your soul cries, hear about atrocities of those who you love, and can not defend? Bending to the will of the ones you hate the most..."

"Forgive me, Kura!" Syaoran shortcuts, holding me close in his arms, more wobbly than I. "Forgive me... I never wanted to doubt you, but I was blinded by anger... By hate to see you in the arms of that man! I know how much you suffered and I admire your courage..."

This time I could not hold the tears. Punching his hard chest, I released the anxiety that consumed me. Syaoran did not try to deter me from my tears. He merely comforted me just as if he immediately knew my need to unburden. He whispered sweet words and wrapped me in his arms tenderly, until the silence embraced us, and time fell upon us like drops of rain.

I do not know when the anger and sorrow had been wasted and the pleasure of his proximity became stronger than all. When I tried to look at him, I found him crying. Syaoran had not forgiven himself from what he had told me. Even if I have said a thousand times that there was nothing to excuse he would continue to feel guilty for questioning my loyalty.

Without any control of the will, I caressed his hot face with the tips of my fingers, surprising myself with his fright.

I knew I was playing with fire, but did not think about stopping. His stubble scraped my skin; however, it was not unpleasant. On the contrary, it provoked chills of heat in me. I slide my hand over his face, fixing my gaze on his lips ajar, imagining how it would be good to feel his touch and desiring it.

"Kura…" His appeal was a small protest, a warning that the situation was escaping from his domain. A useless warning, because his eyes have already declared that no force in the world would be able to separate us.

When my fingers intertwined in his dark hair, Syaoran's lips fell onto mine, a moaning of eager anticipation sink into his mouth.

Oliver's kiss was a strange and traumatic experience that left me unmoved by enthusiasm. Syaoran's kiss was indescribable. His lips began to move with an almost brotherly affection. The way his body shook, denounced a tremendous effort to control the desire to devour me. He was afraid of scaring me!

However, realizing my enthusiasm, he let go of the control and let himself be possessed by the passion, holding me harder, exploring my mouth, as Oliver did. Only this time, all my senses were awake and receptive. I let myself delight in the taste of his saliva and deliver myself unconditionally.

I felt myself levitate and fall, with the body and mind burning. Was this the passion? If so, I wanted more! Syaoran departed wheezing, unsettle by the surprise and desire. After a brief hesitation, he sank his face in my hair, murmuring ecstatic:

"Saks... My sweet, Sakura! Do you have any idea how much I care for you? You know how often I dreamed of this moment? I love you! I love you so much that I would rip my heart from my chest to put in your hands!"

I smiled in response, felling me as happy as I forgot that I could be. Sliding my hands on his chest, I said boldly:

"I do not want you to rip your heart, Syaoran. I like it exactly where you have it! Since you told me that you wanted me for your girlfriend that I wanted to grow. Distressed me thinking that you could find another woman and fall in love for her while giving up on waiting for me."

He returned the smile, expressing all his affection with his sweet stare.

"No woman could touch my heart, because I gave it to you many years ago. I do not know when I fell in love with you... Just know that I always loved you! When I made the decision to follow Ryuu, the greatest pain I felt was leaving you behind. But what else could I do? You were still a girl, and I was only a peasant. I could only dream... I could only dream that the friendship that you felt for me would become something more. And to fight for, when the time comes to decide, I had the possessions to offer you the life you deserve..."

I silence him with my fingers, shaking my head in denial.

"All that I wish is to be free, Syaoran!"

"And you will be, my love. I swear by my life." he breathed, forcing himself to relax. "I only ask you to bear a little more. We have no power to face the armies of Lord Fujitaka and the Goldheart in their stronghold, but a week before the wedding, when traveling to the village of the Count; I will be waiting for you in the forest. We will be quick, I promise you. Before you can feel the fear, you will sail towards freedom. Eriol will come with us. And one day, your house and your land will belong to you once again, and our people will be able to return without fear."

His plan was bold, but smart and apparently effective. I was excited with the idea of sailing away, free and safe, with my brothers and the dearest man that my heart has chosen. Syaoran was risking his neck to see me, but did not plan that our emotions, our gestures and words would take control. Now, in the comfort of his arms, I was aware that the time when we would separate again was approaching, I feared for his fate. And if he got caught?

"Do not worry, Sakura!" He reassured me, sweetly. "I can take care of myself. Moreover, many of the soldiers who surround you have not sold, or will ever sell their soul to the enemy abroad. They only remain here because of their loyalty to Lord Fujitaka and your brothers. Among them are good friends that ensure your safety in my absence."

It was time to leave. The night had already reigned in the garden for long and finally there was silence. I waited for a last kiss, but Syaoran hold my face with firmness and kissed my forehead, saying his goodbyes:

"Be careful... Do what you have to do to survive this ordeal. Soon, we will be together!"

I had hardly blinked my eyes, and he already dashed to the balcony, ready to slide the wall of the house. He did not need the trunk of a tree get out.

"Syaoran" I called, feeling suddenly desperate realizing that many desperate months will pass until we meet again.

He stops and looked at me with a corrugated brow, waiting me to complete. I swallow dry and added at cost:

"I love you..."

His expression changed. In two steps he come over me, embracing me with so much ardor that he swept me of my feet. Devouring my lips, with no trace of the control he had earlier. I correspond with equal enthusiasm and almost protested when he stopped.

It took me some time to recover, and when returned to the harsh reality, the curtains flutter with the wind.

I was alone.

There was no comment about the intruder who invaded the property the night of my birthday, so my mind calmed down.
