A boy with messy brown hair and dirty clothes walked into the Li's mansion. Syaoran Li was grumpy. "Mr. Syaoran Li! Are you alright? What just happened? Should I inform Ms. Li Yelan?" Mark asked the second he saw Syaoran walked in.
"No that's quite alright thank you very much! My mother never cares about me anyway. and if you can't understand what I'm saying. don't inform my mother. And yes I'm alright." Syaoran grunted, and trudged up the long elegant stairs to his master bedroom.
~AN HOUR AGO~
Syaoran stepped up to Bryan's front gates and rang the doorbell. An old maid appeared at the door.
"Mr. Syaoran Li! How may I help you?" She said as she bowed.
"Enough, get Bryan out here please."
"Bryan's not home sir," The maid replied.
"Stop this bull, I know he's in there!" He rose his voice. The maid backed away, scared, and ran inside the house to get Bryan. A second later, someone could be heard running around the house. Bryan appeared at the door.
"Oh Syaoran! What brings you here?" He said with a false smile. He knew what was coming up.
"Bryan, you know what I'm here for. now why are you doing this to Tomoyo? I told you, Tomoyo's not the type to be messing around with!" With a sigh Bryan replied.
"Syaoran don't you understand? Tomoyo's well. she was getting boring. If it's not long walks around the city, it's the movies. you know. the farthest we've went was kissing-" Before he could finish, Syaoran's fist met his face. And that's how the fight had started.
~Li's mansion~
"Hello?" answered Mark. He looked a bit surprised when he found out who it was. "Ms. Li Yelan! How are you?" Then silence filled the room as he listened and nodded. "Mm hm. yes Mr. Syaoran Li. he's fine," as he spoke he looked upwards towards Syaoran's room. "I don't think he has met any girls yet," Then, more nodding and listening. "Shall we tell Mr. Syaoran Li that you're coming this Friday?" After Mark hung up, he called all the servants and maids to the dining room.
"Ok everybody, Ms. Li Yelan is coming back this Friday, so I want this place to be as clean as possible understood? Oh, and she wants a surprise for Mr. Syaoran Li, so no one mention this to him got it? Good," After Mark gave his orders, the servants scattered away, looking annoyed with the extra cleaning work they would have to do.
The following day, Sakura arrived at school with a frown on her face. As she came into homeroom, she spotted Syaoran and ran over to him.
"What does he have to say?" She asked, meaning Bryan. Before Syaoran could even tell her anything, Tomoyo walked in. with Eriol! And they were HOLDING hands.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura rushed over to her.
"Sakura, I know you would be worried, but I'm fine now!" She smiled at Eriol. He smiled back, they are obviously in their own world.
"So, when did you guys. uh you know," Syaoran asked. At this, both of them blushed.
"Yesterday, when Sakura left," Eriol blushed again.
"All this time, I didn't know that Bryan was cheating on me, and Eriol warned me too. But I didn't believe him, oh I was so stupid!" Tomoyo began.
"I'm not allowing you to say that!" said Eriol as he came to the rescue. Soon, it was lunch. As Eriol was walking out, Syaoran ran to catch up with him.
"Hey! Sorry I was being sort of cool towards you, I thought you had it for Sakura!" Syaoran said as his cheeks turned a little red.
"Oh so that's why!" He gave a little laugh. "Don't worry, I was into Tomoyo the whole time," They both grinned as they stuffed their stuff into their lockers, and went under the cherryblossom tree where the two girls always were.
"Sakura, could I talk to you for a sec?" Syaoran asked. Sakura was a bit taken back but she nodded anyway. Syaoran gave Eriol the thumbs up sign, and right on cue, he and Tomoyo left, leaving only the two of them under the cherryblossom tree.
"So whats up?"
"Well, I was wondering if you want to come over for dinner this Friday,"
"To. your house?" She hestitated.
"Well of course my house! It's not like you haven't been there have you?" Syaoran said.
"Well."
"Ok, this Friday night at 6, I'll come pick you up," With that he ran off just as the bell rang. 'wow saved by the bell,' he thought. Sakura watched as he ran off again. 'How in the world did he make up my mind again?'
What they both don't know is what awaits for them that Friday night. The week past by like a breeze. And it was soon the day Syaoran was waiting for, Friday. As they got ready to go home with this week's homework, Syaoran walked up to Sakura.
"I'll see you tonight then!"
"Yup!" Sakura nodded as she grinned.
~Li's mansion 5:30 pm~
Syaoran checked once more in the mirror before glancing at his watch. 'Ok half an hour left, just perfect!' He thought as he smiled at his reflection. He went downstairs to the kitchen to tell the cooks what they would be having tonight.
"But Mr. Syaoran Li, tonight." Charlie, the head cook, was interrupted by Syaoran's annoyed voice.
"You are to cook what you have been told to cook, and I expect the food to be ready at 6:30." He marched out of the room. As he was about to walk out the front doors, Mark called after him.
"Mr. Syaoran Li! Wait, where are you going?"
"That's none of your business." He said coolly before he added: " Oh, and Sakura's coming over for dinner," He opened the front doors swiftly and headed outside.
"But Mr. Syaoran Li! Ms. Li Yelan is coming back tonight!" But it was too late, Mark sighed as he watched Syaoran's figure slowly disappearing as he walked down the street towards Sakura's house. 'How am I going to explain this?'
A/N: should I leave it here? Nah, I'd probably get too much flames..
~Sakura's house~
Sakura was having trouble picking her clothes. She looked at her bed, all covered with clothes. 'I hate it when it comes to deciding,' She thought. At last, she picked a simple white tank top with a light pink skirt (I'm so not good at this) Just as she went to check out how she looked in the mirror, the doorbell rang. A moment later, Fujitaka knocked on her door.
"Sakura!"
"Coming!" Sakura yelled. She took one last look, smoothed out her skirt, and grabbed her purse and flew out of her room. "Ok Syaoran let's go," Sakura said with a pant as she locked the door behind her. As she started walking, she looked back to see Syaoran still standing on her front steps staring and giggling at her. "What?" She said in a slightly angered tone. 'what did I do now?'
"Oh, nothing, you didn't need to rush, I could've waited," He said with a smile, as he walked up alongside her.
"Well, I'm hungry," She replied. Once again, the urge to hold her hand was boiling inside Syaoran. After all, this is sort of like a date. His thoughts were interrupted as Sakura tried to make conversation.
"So have you lived alone in your mansion all these years?" She asked curious how she has never met Syaoran's mother. But little did she know what was in for her in a little while.
"My mother and father used to live with us, but when I was 5, my father died of cancer (I'm making all these up) and since then, my mother left this place- she went to New York to expand the family business, and I've never seen her since." He replied, somewhat ashamed to be talking about his mother.
'No wonder Syaoran's so rough and tough, because no one ever cared for him before,' thought Sakura. "Have you talked to her at all during all these years?"
"Yea, on the phone and emails,"
~Li's mansion~
A black shiny Limo drove inside the Li driveway as the front big gates opened for them. The car stopped, and a young man dressed in a suit stepped out from the front seats and opened the back door. A woman about mid thirties stepped out, as she tok the offered hand of the young man.
"Thank you Steven," Her voice rang out, and you could tell she was not just an ordinary woman. She was Li Yelan, owner of the biggest expanding company in the world. (yes I made it up and yes I know its gay. bare with me) She walked up the front steps of the mansion, making clicking noises with the marble floor. Mark quickly opened the front doors himself as he came out to greet her.
"Ms. Li Yelan! How nice to finally see you again!" He said enthusiastically as he bowed.
"Good to see you too Mark," She stepped inside the house, and looked around the place. Everything was clean and shiny. And she smiled a small smile. "I see you've kept this place just like the old times," She walked into the lounge, her scarf flowing swiftly after her. ( not those big thick wool scarves. nooooo) She sat down on the sofa, and turned to Steven, the young man that opened the door for her. "Do I have any important phone calls to make?" She inquired, looking at him. Steven opened his briefcase and took out a small notebook and flipped its pages. After a moment, he shook his head.
"No Ms. Yelan." She nodded, sighing, because she hasn't been back here for nearly 11 years.
"So tell me Mark, how is Syaoran? He is doing good all these years?" Her voice showed deep regret for not being by his side all these years, and not being a good enough mother.
"oh, h-he's fine," He replied, stuttering a bit.
"Where is he?" She looked around the house, as a maid walked in with a tray of tea and cups.
"Oh, he went out," Mark tried to make it sound as casual as he can.
"Out?" It was more of a statement than a question, and she raised her dangerous eyebrows.
"Y-yes Ms. Li Yelan," Mark replied, stuttering even more when he looked at Li Yelan.
"Where?" Her voice softened a bit, but still firm. She is one of the rare people that can make other people respect her without trying.
"He's-" Mark was interrupted when he heard the front doors open. Sakura and Syaoran was still chatting happily when they walked in, never even bothered to notice that his mother was sitting right there in the lounge. Li Yelan turned her head towards the sound of the front doors. In came a young girl about Syaoran's age, and the young lad beside her must be Syaoran. She slowly stood up and gazed at both of them.
"Ah hem!" Mark coughed quickly. Both of them turned their gaze towards where the cough was. Li Yelan crossed her arms.
"Mark? I thought you told me that Syaoran hasn't met any inappropriate girls," She said sternly, eyeing Sakura as if she was on exhibition.
"M-mother?" Syaoran trembled from shock. Sakura looked from Syaoran to Li Yelan.
'Is this all a surprise or what?' she thought. She was really confused now.
"Yes, Syaoran, I've finally came back. I thought I'd give you a surprise, but I thought we both gave each other surprises heh?" She drifted her gaze sternly at Sakura.
"Oh yes mother, this is Sakura, and Sakura, this is my mother," Syaoran quickly introduced them to each other.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Ms. Li," Sakura bowed politely. When she looked back up, she found that Yelan was still looking at her.
'What is my Syaoran doing with this. this pitiful looking girl?' One look told her that Sakura was from no rich family.
"Mother, I didn't know you came or I would've."
"Why is she here?" Her voice echoed throughout the mansion.
"I thought I'd like to take her over for dinner," Syaoran replied, slightly nervous. He wasn't expecting on seeing his mother again under this kind of circumstance.
"I don't like too see other kinds of people in our house," Yelan said, choosing her words carefully. But Sakura wasn't all that stupid, she knew what Yelan meant. She took a step forward and said,
"What do you mean by other kinds of people? Other people that's not as rich as you? Or do you mean me because I'm not rich?" She said. Syaoran took a hold of her arm to hold her back. Yelan has a surprised look plastered on her face. Never ever had someone, especially like Sakura, had spoken to her like that! Never!
"Who do you think you are speaking to me like that?" Yelan narrowed her eyes.
"I'm just me. I'm here to tell you that rich and the poor have no difference! They're all people after all!" Sakura clenched her fist.
"Syaoran, where did you meet this. this rude and obnoxious girl?"
"Mother! She's not rude and she's NOT obnoxious!"
"I don't want you to hang around her anymore, and I want her out of this house now!"
A/N: ok I think I'll leave it here, I'll have to think of what'll happen next. It's not a cliffhanger at least. well at least I don't think it is. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and if you have any suggestions, please leave it in the review. and please. NO FLAMES!!. please r&r. Hope you liked this chapter! Ja for now!! ^^
