characters but some of the unfamiliar ones are mine!
***************************
In the limousine, Sakura and Syaoran sat next to each other, just taking in the comfortable silence, "So," Syaoran asked, breaking the silence, "When can you tell me why you didn't write?" He asked.
"Soon, I promise. But right now, I just can't." She whispered with sad eyes. Syaoran frowned but said nothing more on the subject.
Shortly, the limo pulled a turned and they heard Wei's voice from up front, "Master Syaoran, we're home."
"Thanks." He called back and touched Sakura's shoulder, "Are you ready to meet my sister again?" He teased.
"Sister and not sisters?" She asked curiously.
"They've all moved out and gotten married except for Fei-mei and even she is planning to move out within two years."
"Wow, so soon it'll be just you and your mom." Sakura awed.
"And you," He reminded, "Remember, you're staying here with us."
"Right!" She exclaimed with a big smile. When the limo parked, Wei came around and opened the door for the two teenagers. They climbed out and Sakura moved to get her bags out when Syaoran held her back.
"You won't need to do that. We've got maids to do it for you." He pointed as several maids and butlers opened the trunk and walked back into the house to put the luggage up stairs.
"Thank you!" Sakura called after them, even though they were out of sight.
"Would you like to meet my mother?" He asked.
She looked up at the taller boy with a grin, "I'd like that, then you can give me a proper tour around your house."
"Alright then, to the lounge!" He acted as if he was leading an army to battle. Sakura giggled at his frozen pose of a general. He glanced down at her with a small smile, 'How I missed that laugh.' He thought.
*~*~*
Knock, knock
"Come in." A deep, yet gentle voice called. Inside the large and grand lounge sat a thin woman with long dark hair piled upon her head. She wore a white kimono with a red sash and slight makeup.
The large french doors opened silently as Syaoran stepped in followed by Sakura, "Hello mother." He greeted with a smile, crossing to her side and kissed her cheek.
"Syaoran." She stated, "What a nice surprise, I hadn't expected to see you for another two months." But her voice held no real shock, more like an all- knowing ring.
"I didn't think you would mind, but Sakura had no place to stay at the college so I told her she could stay with us." He replied motioning to the silent and straight Sakura.
She bowed, "I won't be any trouble, ma'am."
Yelan laughed, "Oh I know. You're welcome her any time, and besides; my son hasn't graced me with a smile in years. You have given me back a special gift Sakura, mistress of the cards."
Sakura had to remind herself that the whole entire Li Clan knew of the Clow Cards, "Thank you very much." She chirped and turned back to Syaoran, "So, can we start to...what are you doing?" She asked, noticing he had his eyes closed and he was counting under his breath.
"Three, two, one-" He stepped aside and a sudden blur whizzed passed Sakura and landed in a heap on the floor.
The 'heap' whined, "Syaoran, why'd you move?"
"Because." He sighed, "I prefer not to be tackled to the ground, Fei-mei."
The girl or young woman who seemed to be about 28 stuck out her lower lip and pouted, "You're mean." He laughed, and her eyes got wide as saucers, "Are you, laughing??" She demanded.
"Fei-mei, you remember Sakura, don't you? She's going to bee living with us for our duration of college or until she gets a dorm." He slung his arm over Sakura and she shook her head at him.
The longhaired brunette's eyes lit up and she ran up to Sakura, "I have someone to talk to! Oh, and you're so cute, this will be so exciting!" She droned on and walked out of the room, pulling the confused Sakura along with her.
Syaoran watched them go with a satisfied smirk but his mother interrupted his thoughts, "You love her, don't you?" She asked.
He began walking out of the room, "Get real mother, she's my best friend." The older woman watched him leave with a coy smile.
*~*~*~*~*
Sakura had finally managed to get Fei-mei to leave her alone. Now, she stood alone in the main entrance with a confused look, 'Where do I go now?' She wondered, looking ever which way.
"How about I show you a room?" A voice breathed into her ear.
Sakura's face faulted and she whirled around with a scream, "SYAORAN!!!" She began whacking him repeatedly over the head with a mad expression. He however, laughed and attempted ducking the strikes, "That was not funny!!" She cried.
"Ok, ok! I'm sorry." He laughed and she settled down with a grumpy face.
"Just don't do it again." She huffed.
"Ok. Do you still want me to show you your room?" He asked.
"Fine." Sakura replied, still slightly miffed about her scare. He led her up the grand staircase and down one of the many hallways. The floors were carpeted with a deep red, lined with gold. Each door was an ivory white, matching the walls in splendor. After a short while, Syaoran stopped infront of a door and pushed it open.
"And this is your room." He stepped aside to let her look in. Sakura gasped in surprise. It was the largest room she had ever seen with a chestnut vanity and a matching canopy bed. Her bags had been set neatly next to the bed, stacked by size. The walls were a light pink that matched the sheets and curtains. Walking in, she found two doors. The first led to a pure, sparkling white bathroom with a shower, bathtub, sink, towels and all. The second led into an empty walk-in closet. She shut the door and found a full-length mirror close to the door. Pushing aside the curtains, she found a pair of glass french doors that led out to a balcony.
Sakura clicked them open and stepped out onto the stone surface. Along the walls of the Li mansion were strands of ivy climbing up with violet flowers here and there. Her room overlooked a gorgeous ocean view with the waves lapping up onto the sandy shore. Feeling a presence behind her, she turned around with tears in her emerald eyes. Syaoran took this wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is it the room, 'cause whatever it is, we can change it!"
She shook her head violently, "No, it's just...too much. This room, seeing you. I feel like I'm living in a dream."
He smiled and pulled her into a warm embrace, "You deserve all of it, and more."
"Thank you." She whispered and pulled back, wiping away her tears, "Now, how about that tour you promised me? I really want to see everything!"
