Never Underestimate A Cherry Blossom
~Chapter Seven: Get Away From Her 'N Glow In The Dark Fun~
"Who- who're you?" Ariko asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
Li Syaoran glared down at the shorter male before him, while Ariko looked up, being a whole head and shoulders shorter than him.
"My name is Li Syaoran, and I am heir to the Li Clan. But it is not you who should be asking any questions around here. Now, who do you think you are, just barging in here and demanding that Sakura be taken home, away from her friends and doctors that will help her get better?" he demanded, his voice full of authority.
Sakura stared at him, her jaw falling open. She had never heard him sound so commanding, he looked so handsome there, with his mouth in a firm and angry line, his well-muscled torso, arms crossed, and his eyes sparkling with and intense fire. (A/N: *Drools, picturing all this.* Hot, ne?) All of this was to protect her, suddenly, she felt worse about what she had done, and wishing there was something she could do to make it up to him. Wait, there was one thing that might help right now.
Ariko glared up at Syaoran, and opened his mouth, as if to speak, but Sakura beat him to it.
"Ariko?" she asked quietly. He turned around, smiling at her.
'She's going to agree to come back with me and that stuck-up Li will be put in his place.' He thought haughtily.
"I don't know how or why you are here, but Syao-kun, Tomoyo-chan, and Chiharu-chan are my friends, and Syao-kun is using his personal doctors to help me, I think it would be quite rude of me to leave in the middle of the night. And two, I agree with Syaoran, what right have you to barge into home at midnight and demand that he let his sick friend leave?" she demanded, her voice seething with anger, she didn't know why, but while staring at his face all she could do was pick out flaws, and trust me, she found a lot of them.
Ariko glared indignantly at Sakura, rather surprised by the sudden outburst.
"I suggest, Ariko, that you head back to the apartment, and since you seem to not need a key to get it, just let yourself in again. Now, please, leave Syaoran's property before he gets really mad." Meilin said angrily, the only thing holding her back being the vision of Syaoran's mother at the top of the stairs.
Ariko growled in frustration and turned heel, brushing past Syaoran, "You may have won this battle, Li, but I will win the battle for Sakura. Remember, she has to come home sometime."
Syaoran twitched, but showed no other sign of discomfort besides the already very obvious anger, as Ariko left, and listened carefully as Ariko left.
As soon as the door was closed, Syaoran ordered that every entrance and exit be locked before turning back to the others.
"Oh, Syaoran. I feel so guilty..." Sakura mumbled.
Syaoran gave her an odd look, "For what?"
She felt tears welling in her eyes and she brushed them away, she was a Cherry Blossom, and she didn't cry, but that did not make the overwhelming guilt leave the pit of her stomach where it had come out from hibernation, "For everything, for Ariko, for getting you involved with us, for intruding into your home. For me."
Syaoran's eyes widened, but softened quickly as he walked close to Sakura and wrapped her into his arms, "None of this is our fault, it was fate." He whispered.
Tomoyo sniffed, and Eriol pulled her into his embrace as she started to cry for lack of video camera, this was the first time she had seen him so open. Ever.
Meilin smiled cheerfully, Ariko had played his part perfectly, Sakura was starting to see all the horrible truths about him now.
Chiharu stood between Naoko and Takashi, and sighed, Takashi started up, "You know, apologies originally started out as prayers from and ancient religion that worshipped aliens."
BONK!
Chiharu growled as Naoko looked on in surprise, Chiharu had smacked Takashi upside the head, making him shut up.
"Wow, Chiharu, we have to have him around you more often." Naoko exclaimed.
Sakura started to laugh from where she had her face buried in Syaoran's chest, lifting her head, tear streaks stained her face, but she was still laughing.
Syaoran smiled down at her, this was the Sakura he liked more, the happy, carefree one, "Now, though, everyone," he started, Eriol let go of Tomoyo, "I think it's time for us all to head off to bed." He stated.
Sakura nodded, along with the others, and Syaoran took her arm, offering to take her to her room on the way to his. They all separated, heading back to their respective bedrooms.
Syaoran walked arm in arm with Sakura until they reached her large bedroom door, Sakura went to open it, but paused, turning back around.
"Thank-you again, Syao-kun, for standing up for me back there, Ariko can be, can be. A little over possessive. And a bit over protective." She explained.
"Well, I would be too if you were my fiancé." He replied.
Sakura gasped, and opened her mouth to ask him how he knew, when all the lights went off and she yelped instead, jumping into Syaoran's arms, "What was that?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Oh, don't tell me the great Sakura is afraid of the dark." he teased, glad that it was too dark for her to see the red creep across his cheeks, but thinking she might see it anyway.
Sakura pulled back, sticking her nose up into the air, "Hmph. I'm not afraid of the dark." She said haughtily, turning to go into her room just as a flash of lightning followed by a crash of thunder came down from the heavens.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed.
Syaoran grabbed her from behind and hugged her, "Ssshhh." he said in a calming tone, "It's just thunder and lightning, they must have shot the power out." He explained, holding her shaking body.
She hung her head, whispering something Syaoran couldn't quite make out, "What, Sakura-chan?" he asked.
"I. I-I. I said, I'm afraid of thunder and lightning." she replied quietly.
"Oh." Syaoran said shortly.
"Could I. I-I. Could I stay with you tonight?" she pleaded, knowing how odd her request must sound to him.
There was a silence, followed by Syaoran's soft voice, "Sure, Sakura-cha, anything."
She smiled, "You're a great friend, Syao-kun."
He turned her away from her room and headed down the hall and around the corner to his room. It was pitch when they entered, but Syaoran knew his way around well, and first he led her to the bed and she crawled under the down-filled comforter and silk sheets.
"Mmmm." she said softly, but was surprised when Syaoran left the side of the bed, "Where are you going?" she asked.
"You'll see." was all that he replied. A few moments later, a rustling was heard in some drawers on the other side of the room and a soft 'aha'. Footsteps made it clear he was coming back to the bed and her climbed onto it and sat beside Sakura.
"What was that about?" she asked curiously from inside the warmth of the blankets, which smelled of sandalwood and a soft musk.
"Watch." He said as she heard plastic being ripped and a cracking sound, soon a soft blue glow illuminated his face as her twirled a blue glow stick around.
Sakura laughed, taking it from him and looking at it, she loved these things!
Syaoran smiled through the darkness and opened two more and cracking them, he laughed at what colors they became, pink and green.
"Look Sakura, "he said jokingly, "There's one for both you and I."
Sakura's smile widened as she spun the blue one around and then set it on the nightstand.
Syaoran smiled also, setting the other two down and climbing under the covers beside her.
"Sorry to be such and intrusion again." she murmured.
"You're never an intrusion." he replied.
She snuggled deeper into the blankets, inhaling the deep scent of sandalwood again, before drifting off.
"Sakura." Syaoran whispered, "I love you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile Tomoyo snuggled deeper into Eriol's embrace, laughing at what had happened earlier with Ariko, "Oh ho ho ho ho ho. I'm so glad she decided to stick up for Syaoran, he seemed so happy afterwards."
Eriol smiled, "We've never really much liked that Ariko fellow." he said, "We put up with him for Sakura's benefit. We've all seen him around the HQ hitting on other members and stuff like that. He's a pig." he replied.
Tomoyo nodded, "I think Syaoran and her make a better couple. That was a great plan that you had, sweetie, with the power turning off. You've known Sakura for a long time, so you must've known she was scared of thunder and lightning. But how did you know it was storming out?" she inquired.
He shrugged, "I didn't. Bt she's also known for not being great with the dark, she doesn't seem to like it much, but the thunder and lightning were extra."
Tomoyo smiled, "I'm glad we decided to follow them, that was the most KAWAII thing I've EVER seen!" she exclaimed, "I hope she appreciates this!"
Eriol nodded, "Once she figures it all out and gets rid of her fiancé, she will."
Tomoyo's eyes widened and she gasped, "Oh no!" she exclaimed.
"What, dear?" Eriol asked worriedly.
Tomoyo twisted around on the bed to face him, looking worried, "Syaoran's fiancé! I totally forgot about her! We'll have to think of something to get rid of her, and fast!" she said, searching her mind frantically for a plan.
"Oh, sweetie, now, don't get worked up, it's just a minor setback right now. Let's wait until morning to figure something out about Syaoran and his fiancé." he said.
Tomoyo smiled, burying her face in his chest, "Ok then, he really hates her though, it's an arranged marriage."
Eriol nodded, rubbing Tomoyo's back as she sighed dreamily and drifted to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bbbbbbbrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg!!!!!! Bbbbbrrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!
Meilin's phone rang again, she growled, picking it up, "Hullo?" she growled.
"Meilin sweetie? It's me." A male voice came.
"Daddy?" she yelped.
"Yes, did I wake you?"
"No! I was just falling asleep!" she answered.
He smiled on his end of the phone, "OK then, how are you and Sakura doing?" he asked.
Meilin frowned, "Well, we -were- doing fine until you let Ariko fly up here." She replied dryly.
Fujitaka sighed, "Meilin, dear, I didn't. He got very mad that we sent Sakura away without him and started fighting everyone down here, then one day he just disappeared, we assumed her went to find you two. I never thought he would, but this isa the first time I've had the actual time to call you both."
Meilin gasped, fighting another gang member was against their laws, which meant, "He's been banished from the gang?" she asked in disbelief.
Fujitaka paused before answering seriously, "Yes Meilin."
Meilin let out a whoop of joy before pausing, "This means hes a major threat to us, doesn't it?" she asked.
"Yes, that's what I'm calling about." Fujitaka replied.
"I'll tell them all in the morning." She said, "But I have to go now, I'm getting tired. Goodbye father."
"Goodbye darling, sweet dreams, and tell Sakura I miss her very much. Oh, and never forget, spread the word that the Cherry Blossoms are not a force to be reckoned with.
"I will, and, oh, Father, we may have some news members soon too."
"Great. Good bye." He said, hanging up.
"Bye." She said, closing her cell.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"God damn Li thinks he's all that, we'll just see about that, Li Syaoran, she's gotta come back sometime, and when she does, I'll be waiting for her, then you'll never see your precious Cherry Blossom again." He said to himself as he walked back to the apartment.
He came to the door, and looked curiously at it, seeing as it was already open.
"Hello?" he called, "Who's here?"
"Aaahhh. Ariko, nice to see you again." Came a voice from the dark.
Ariko grinned evilly, "Brother! How good of you to come." He cried, running a hand through his greasy hair.
A man with long blond hair identical to Ariko's stepped out from the shadows, his eyes were onyx in colored, and her had a smirk on his face, but most importantly, a panther tattooed on his right arm. "It's good to see you too." he said.
"Lirae, I'm having some difficulties with Sakura, but don't worry, they're only minor set backs. We'll have her soon enough." Ariko spoke.
"Good, good, are we still on schedule?" he asked.
Ariko looked at his watch, "Why, yes." He replied.
Lirae nodded, "That's good, when do you expect her to show up here?" he asked.
Ariko paused, "Well, they said she was just getting over some sort of illness, so a week before she comes back maybe."
Lirae nodded, "Then we'll plot for then. Inform all the men we have a quick morning meeting before we set to work tomorrow." he responded.
"Ariko nodded, smiling dirtily, "Sure will."
Lirae smiled at him, "And one last thing, Ariko."
Ariko looked at him expectantly, "Yes?"
"Think before you get another flight attendant pregnant, she happened to be on the flight I was taking here." He smirked.
Ariko laughed and headed out the door of the apartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chang Fei smiled out the window of the plane, soon she would be back with Syaoran, and he would see how beautiful she was and want to marry her straight away. She sighed dreamily as she though of her wedding dress. It would be so beautiful.
'Only two days until I see him again' she thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura sighed, snuggling into Syaoran's arms as he smiled down at her. The sun filtered in through the curtains and he hugged her tighter.
She yawned and blinked, her eyes owlishly, "Huh? Syaoran.?" she said as he smiled broadly at her.
"Morning, sleepyhead." He greeted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Aren't I so evil? Two fiancé's, one who's a traitor, and another on her way. But at least I ended this with something cute. I'm not exactly sure what to do next, so if ya could give me some IDEA'S PLEASE! It'd be appreciated and ya'd get all da recognition for it. Okies, bai now.
