The limo ride seemed to take forever, thanks to Sakura's lack of sleep. She was doing her best to stay awake, but she kept finding herself resting her head on Syaoran's shoulder; her eyelids fluttering shut. Syaoran just laughed at her.

"You should've really taken my advice." he teased, and Sakura pretended to growl.

"It's not my fault I'm so inexperienced at travelling by plane!" she exclaimed; nearly whining.

Syaoran smirked. "What else are you inexperienced at?" he purred; leaning forward to touch noses with her. Sakura felt a little heat escape to her cheeks as she blushed.

Just then, the limo pulled to a large building that looked like a museum...or maybe a mansion. Sakura grew wide-eyed at the sight of the place; unable to believe that this was really Syaoran's mother's home.

"Welcome to the place I grew up." Syaoran sighed; obviously preparing himself for what would come next. The driver's assistant opened the limo door for the couple, and before they could step out, a feminine voice nearly boomed throughout the vehicle.

"Xiao Lang!" Yelan exclaimed; "I thought you said you'd be here at 6am!"

Without even looking at his watch, Syaoran simply replied; "We're only two minutes late, Mother."

Yelan now looked rather cross. "Next time you are expecting to be so late, you will call me." she replied; "Understood?"

"Yes, Mother." Syaoran replied, bowing slightly; "I apologise."

Now his mother's attention was diverted to a certain young woman who had helped herself out of the limo. She stepped forward to examine her; something that made Sakura very nervous. What was she doing?

"Kinomoto, correct?" Yelan asked of her, continuing to look her over.

"Y-yes, ma'am..." she replied rather timidly.

Yelan now looked up at her and smiled rather kindly. "There is no need for formalities with me, dear." she replied; "We are soon to be family."

The thought of actually being engaged to Syaoran made Sakura blush again, but she continued to play along as if they were, nodding gratefully. "T-thank you."

Yelan chuckled softly and puled Sakura into a hug. "It is an honor for you to choose my son as a husband." she said gently; shooting a bit of a glare at Syaoran, making him stand up straighter; "Even if he can almost always act like a hot-headed idiot."

"Now wait just a minute!" Syaoran started, but Sakura's laughter blocked his voice out for the most part.

"He does get upset quite a bit, doesn't he?" Sakura added, her laughter quieting into giggles.

"You're not helping!" Syaoran snapped; stepping foward. He was being humiliated here by his own mother, and Sakura was agreeing with her!

The two women looked over to the upset man, and Yelan simply shook her head; walking over to her son. "Now now." she said, patting him on the head; "There's no need to get upset over such a trifle."

Still a bit angry, Syaoran wanted to come back at her with a response, but instead groaned and sucked it up. He knew that, no matter what, his mother always won.

Sakura giggled softly and walked over to Syaoran as well. "She's really sweet!" she whispered to him; kissing him on the cheek; "She means well..."

"Easy for you to say..." Syaoran replied quietly; defeated. He paused for a moment before grabbing Sakura by the waist and pulling her closer. "Now, what do you say to going up to our room and unpacking?"

Sakura giggled at him and leaned forward to kiss him, but Yelan interrupted. "Now, naturally, Xiao Lang, you and your fiancee will be staying in seperate rooms. After all, you are not married yet."

Syoaran held back a disappointed groan, but Sakura pecked his cheek as she whispered; "Don't worry, I'll stop by to visit." She winked at him as she followed Yelan to where she would be staying.

Syaoran smirked at her and winked back as he watched her walk away. He waited until the two were out of sight before walking to the kitchen to get a soda.

Later that night, Sakura was in the shower just standing under the water stream as she washed away the day. It wasn't that she'd had a bad day, but it had been so long; not to mention busy, thanks to the facade she and Syaoran were using. All Yelan wanted to talk about was wedding plans; the dress, the bridesmaids, the venue, the flowers, everything. The two almost were found uot when they said that they hadn't picked a date. It was true, they hadn't - but only because they weren't even engaged. Yelan raised an eyebrow for a moment, almost as if she were contemplating before deciding aloud that she would select a dae for them, causing Sakura to go nervous and Syaoran to start shouting in protest.

"What a day..." Sakura mumbled; finally shutting the water off. She dried off and slipped on her nightgown before stepping back into the room she was staying in - only to come face-to-face with Syaoran.

"Enjoy your shower?" he asked in a very low, attractive tone.

Sakura smirked. "It was nice." she replied; "But a bit lonely." As she walked over to her bed, Syaoran slowly walked to the opposite side.

"Really now?" he asked, pretending that he didn't quite get the hint. "And why's that?"

Sakura laughed. "You very well know why." she replied, sticking out her tongue as her hand rested on the bedframe.

"I know." Syaoran agreed, walking around the bed toward her. "But why don't we just pretend that I didn't?"

"Because that's not like you, dear." she replied; taking a step backward; her emerald eyes fixed on him.

"Dear?" he echoed in a rather seductive growl. He was only a few feet away from her now. "When did you start calling me that?"

"Does it matter?" Sakura asked, her back just a foot away from the bare wall. This was an interesting dance they had gotten themselves into. She still had no idea what would come next, though. In a flash, the girl found her back gently slamming against the wall; her wrists in Syaoran's grasp.

"Not really." he replied rather huskily; "I was simply...curious." As he spoke, his hot breath hit Sakura' neck, and she shivered from the intimacy of the move. This was what she had been craving for so long. Syaoran gently yet firmly pressed Sakura against the bedroom wall, pinning her wrists against the cold, white surface as he smothered her in kisses. Finding it nearly impossible to resist, she returned the kisses with even deeper, rougher ones. This was like something she had imagined in the past. Something she'd always wanted. And now she found herself enjoying every second; never wanting it to stop. The two were slowly losing themselves in one another, drunk with the moment; until there was a knock at the door. Syaoran tore away from Sakura's lips as he grew wide-eyed; staring at the still closed door. Sakura silently stammered for a few seconds while she cursed mentally, taking a deep breath before calling out; "Who is it?"

"It is I, dear girl!" Yelan called through the door, causing the hairs on both of the two's necks to stand on end with panic. Where to hide? Wordlessly, Sakura shoved Syaoran into the bathroom, holding a finger up to her lips as she shut the door. She then rushed over to the bedroom door, pausing for a moment to regain her composure before opening the door.

"Yes?" she asked politely, looking up slightly at Yelan.

Yelan smiled kindly at her. "I just wanted to wish my future daughter-in-law a good night." she said sweetly; her eyes briefly scanning the room. "I thought I'd heard you stumble into something on my way up here as well...are you alright?"

Not allowing herself to think of what really happened, Sakura nodded, smiling kindly. "I just lost my footing for a moment is all." she replied. "Thank you for your concern."

Yelan nodded to her and waved as she walked down the hallway.Sakura waited until she was out of sight before she let a sigh escape her. She nearly shrieked, however, when she felt a pair of strong arms form behind wrap themselves around her waist. Turning around, she smiled at Syaoran, her emerald eyes sparkling as they met with his own amber orbs.

"That was a close one, huh?" Syaoran asked as he smirked at his girl.

Sakura smiled and nodded. "Mmmhmm." she hummed; "But we had quick reflexes."

Syaoran chuckled huskily; pulling Sakura closer. "How would you know that when we were so rudely interrupted?"

Sakura chuckled in response, kissing Syaoran and gently biting his lip. She pulled back and paused for a moment before saying; "What are the chances that your mother will come in to check on us while we're sleeping?"

The young man's smile faultered as he thought about it. "Damn; I forgot about those stupid bedchecks."

Sakura giggled. "Mother dearest has to make sure that her son is safe in bed rather than trying to steal a girl's virginity." she said in a soft, singsong tone.

Syaoran's eyes flickered with interest. But, before he could ask the most obvious of questions, Sakura smirked and pushed him away. "Bedtime now." she teased. "Don't want Mommy to punish you." She blew him a kiss as he now stood in the hallway, winking once more before closing her door and shutting out the lights.

Syaoran blinked at the door for a moment before walking to his room; murmering to himself; "A...virgin?"

The next morning was just about the same as the previous one. After breakfast, Yelan talked the couple's ear off about weddings while Sakura smiled politely and Syaoran tried to block everything out.He was nervous just thinking about having such a conversation. He'd only just admitted his love for Sakura to her, why was he listening to plans for something he wasn't planning? It only gave him a headache. He was truly grateful when the phone rang and his mother was called away on some important buisness. Some peace and quiet would do him good.

After Yelan left, Sakura decided to rummage through the kitchen, in search of something to make for lunch. Even though the cook was there, she insisted on making this one meal; after all, she wanted to improve on her cooking. She had just set a pot of water on the stove to heat and boil when, once again, she heard Syoaran call to her; the same seductive tone in his voice as the one that was there the previous night.

"Sa-ku-ra..." he said, leaning in the doorway as he smirked at the girl.

Sakura looked over at Syaoran and giggled, finding herself starting to chew a little on her fingernail, shaking her head. "The things you do when your mother isn't looking." she teased.

"You and my mother..." Syaoran replied, stepping forward; "I'm starting to wonder if you two aren't really planning something."

Again, Sakura laughed. "That's right;" she replied; "We're planning on driving you crazy!"

There was a fire in Syaoran's eyes as he continued to walk toward her. "You already do that..." he replied in a low, husky voice. It was enough to send shivers down Sakura's spine. Her eyes flickered with interest before a lightbulb switched on in her head. She smirked once more as she took a step back. "Hey, Syaorannnn..." she sang; "Bet you can't...catch me!!!" As she shouted the last part, she bolted out of the doorway behind her, laughing as she got her head start. Syaoran was surprised to see her do such a thing, but he decided that it would be fun, and chased after her; not sparing any energy so he could bolt right up to her. Sakura saw the move and added a bit more energy to her pace; running a bit faster.

"You can't win that easily!" she teased; now making some space between the two as she sped through the front entrance room. She was starting to make a full circle around the center of the house; drawing close to the dining room. Syaoran knew this, seeing how he had lived in the place for most of his life, and he disappeared in an open doorway. Sakura slowed down slightly, raising an eyebrow as she wondered what he was up to. As she entered the dining room, she skidded to a halt as she saw him on the opposite side of the long dining room table. His smirk reflected off of the finely polished rosewood finish, and he gently rested his hands against it as she watched Sakura closely for her nex move. He wasn't about to let her get away; not in his house.

"Seems like you're running out of ideas, Sa-ku-ra..." he purred, stressing each syllable in Sakura's name.

Looking around for any options, she started to go toward the door, but found that Syaoran moved in the same direction; getting rather close to catching her. Damn. She couldn't go that way. She smirked as she started to head in the opposite direction, planning to use the other doorway; but Syaoran followed suit; coming close to the end of the table. She couldn't allow herself to move so close; otherwise, it would end the game, and with her defeat. She panted slightly from the running she did nd put another idea into play; quickly sidestepping in one direction, and running off in the other as soon as Syaoran had started to move. He caught on after a second and darted in Sakura's direction; making it to the end of the table before she reached the doorway. Sakura squeeled and started to run away again, but Syaoran swiftly scooped her up in his arms; the two laughing together as they tried to catch their breath. Before they knew it, they were at it again, smothering each other with kisses as Sakura was leaned slightly against the table. After a moment, Syaoran continued to lean forward, putting a hand forward as he slowly and wordlessly convinced Sakura's body to fall back on the table. Pushing her a little more toward the inside of the table, Syaoran soon joined her, laying on top of her as a hand rested behind her head. Sakura nearly felt dizzy from what was happening; it had all happened so fast. Syaoran's free hand gently moved across one of Sakura's hips and down her leg; making her skin tingle beneath her jeans. She twisted her fingers in his hair as her free hand pressed against his back, closing the distance between them as much as possible. Both of them could tell when Syaoran's pants started to get a little too tight for him, and he pressed himself against her to remind her of this; making Sakura choke back a gasp. Just as he did it again, a noise startled the two, and Syaoran scrambled to his feet, grapsing his hands together as he held them in front of a rather obvious erection. Sakura got up quickly and smoothed out her hair as she looked around; hearing the noise once more. Someone seemed to be clearing their throat just outside the doorway!

"Master Li?" a familiar voice called; "If I may enter?"

Syaoran sighed as he held back a growl. "Damnit." he cursed under his breath, adding aloud; "Yes, Wei?"

It was then that Wei, the butler that Sakura had met at Syaoran's back in Japan, stepped into the room.

"Pardon the intrusion, Sir." he said humbly; "But I believe that your Mother's car has just pulled in to the garage. I felt that it might be necessary to inform you so."

Syaoran's eyes flickered with both panic and relief. "Thank you, Wei." he said simply; "I appreciate the judgement call. You are dismissed."

Wei bowed slightly. "Thank you, Sir." he replied, slipping out of the room.

Once again, Syaoran held back a growl. He'd let himself get too into her. He had to watch his actions while he was in Hong Kong; after all, his mother was quite the old-fashioned type. He closed his eyes for a minute as he calmed himself; regaining composure before walking into the sitting room. Sakura, it seemed, had sprinted off to the kitchen, where words that were altered to avoid becoming curses were whimpered. Something must've happened. Just then, Yelan stepped through the doorway at her son; pausing for a moment before smiling faintly.

"I hope you kept Sakura entertained while I was out." she said rather non-chalant. Syaoran resisted the nervous blush that fought to cover his face.

"Yes, Mother..." he replied somewhat weakly, adding mentally; "And I still would be if you hadn't gotten back so damn early."

AN: xD Harharhar! It must be something about that Hong Kong air that makes those two act the way they do. Anyway, out of all the days off I've had recently, this was the first one where my mother-in-law was willing to take care of the baby so I could have a break to relax. Perfect timing, too - since I've been struck with fanfic inspiration! I'd like the write another fic, but since I've been so busy, I don't know if I can write two at the same time. I'm worried that if I wait too long to write the other one, though, that I'll lose the necessary inspiration, and I'll never get around to actually writing it. So; thoughts? R&R! Lovelovelove.
