Author's note: I'm so happy that ya'll like my story and I soo hope that it'll be a hit too. LOL I'm going crazy, whelp here's the next chapter and remem. To review.
When they arrived at the estate Sakura was stunned, it was beautiful at least for a Victorian styled house and large with lavish gardens. There was two cars there one she guessed to be Renzo's brother and the other the helpers.
"I have to admit I wasn't expecting a house like this" Sakura whispered as they headed to the front door before they knocked it was opened by a man who looked like a butler 'poor thing' she thought looking at how stiff he was'
"Good afternoon" he said stiffly making Sakura giggled.
"Good afternoon" they all said walking in.
"Our stuff is in the car, I guess your going to wait until the master gets home" Eriol said giving the man the car keys when two others showed up.
"Yes sir, I can't leave until he's satisfied" the man answered leaving them.
"I thought Li was your cousin, this house and furniture looks English" Sakura said looking at the finely English decorated house, with expensive finely craved furniture that one would see from the late eighteenth century.
"He is but his late wife was a finely breed English woman and she had to have the best especially since she loved to be a hostess. One thing I give her credit for and that is throwing parties" Mei Lin answered when a good looking guy who Sakura guessed was Renzo's brother walked into the room with a big smile on his face.
"Its about time ya'll got here man this house is slammin' I've all ready picked out my room.I wanted the one on the end it's the best but old geezer said that it was the master room and Li doesn't like people in his personal space so the office is off limits too" He stated giving his brother a hug.
"Yeah Li likes his privacy" Eriol stated looking around. "Oh this is Daidouji Ying Fa my wife's younger sister" he introduced.
"I must have died and gone to have heaven because you're heavenly" he said looking Sakura over, Sakura smiled slightly extending her hand. " Sekigawa Hitoshi at your service madam"
"It's a pleasure to meet you" Sakura said shaking his hand, she had to pull it back when he made no move to let it go.
"Ying Fa lets go pick out our rooms" Maria exclaimed dragging Sakura up the stairs.
"I'll see you guys in a few" Sakura laughed running after Maria.
"I think she just found her new play mate" Renzo commented hearing the laughing that echoed through the house.
"I think she just blew me off" Hitoshi said sadly making everyone look at him. "She didn't even want to talk to me what'd I do wrong?"
"You can't get Ying Fa by acting like that, she needs a real man" Tomoyo stated smiling. "We'll be staying in our regular rooms, have Ying Fa's bags brought to the room she wishes" she added looking at the helpers who nodded and got to work.
"I'm a real man and a lot more" Hitoshi objected smiling.
"What ever you say, oh a bit of advice pull your pants up do you have to have it hanging down there" Mei Lin said glaring at him. "Your still dressing like a child" she added walking up the stairs with Tomoyo and the baby.
"What's the matter with them?" Hitoshi asked looking up the stairs both men shrugged.
"You know they aren't lying, you're the baby in the family but you need to grow up. I think that Ying Fa would be good for you but you can't impress her that way" Renzo said looking at his brother, sometimes he wondered if there was something wrong with him.
"Xiao Lang should be here sometime around dinner try not to irritate him or make a fool of your self when his acquaintances start to come by" Eriol stated walking off to the study with Renzo.
"Why would I do that?" Hitoshi asked following them.
"Remember at his younger sisters engagement party you were hitting on her" Renzo answered scathingly.
"Oh yeah I remember that, how could I forget the way he yelled at me" Hitoshi said making them cringe.
"How could we forget that was pretty stupid of you, you almost ruined his sisters marriage and the alliance his family was getting out of the marriage" Eriol confirmed sitting down.
"This room is soo gorgeous" Sakura breathed looking at the pink room, it had a large bed and done in a French style, she walked and looked out the window at the property that was about three times the size of Tomoyo's she could see a small part of the stable from where she was.
"Isn't it? All of his estates are this beautiful but he never uses them, he stays at his condo in Hong Kong that's where his office is" Mei Lin said falling back on the bed almost sinking into the comforter.
"Your cousin sounds boring" Sakura commented absently turning around.
"He isn't he just needs a life" Tomoyo corrected. "Someone to get his mind off his work someone who isn't that gold digger Gwen" she added Mei Lin nodding in agreement.
"But he's just too stubborn, he's worst then me at least I know that he'll never marry her I don't want her in my family" Mei Lin stated getting up. "He should be here by dinner come on let's go see what the cook is preparing for dinner"
"Okay" Sakura said following them out of the room. Well they were wrong Li didn't show up for dinner and didn't even call to say where he was. Mei Lin got worried because even when she called his cell he didn't answer it or his home phone number.
"I'm sure he's fine sweetie, he's a grown man stop worrying about him, he'll probably arrive later tonight" Renzo assured wrapping his arm around her waist.
"I think it's rude of him to have you worrying like this at least he could have had the decency to call" Sakura stated looking out the window it was all ready 10:30.
"Li doesn't care, he'll show up when ever he feels like it" Hitoshi said smiling like an idiot.
"Well we all might as well turn in for the night, you can have him explain tomorrow" Eriol said standing up, everyone nodded and headed towards the stairs.
"Are we going riding tomorrow?" Sakura asked excitedly. "I've never ridden before"
"Yeah I think so," Tomoyo answered smiling.
"Don't worry I'll teach how to ride" Hitoshi said moving closer to Sakura.
"Really? That would be nice. I'll see you all tomorrow" Sakura mock yawned, she gave Mei Lin and Tomoyo a hug before going to her room.
"Strike one" Tomoyo laughed walking with Eriol to their room but not before checking on their daughter.
Syaoran.
"Great.it just had to start raining" Syaoran growled under his breath as he turned the radio off having hearing enough of that pop singer Cherry. "She's dead god" turning onto the private road that led to his house, when he got there he drove through the gates up to the front door. He got his briefcase and hurried to the door he opened it and went straight to his office not even bothering to turn off his car or close door. He put his briefcase on his desk and poured himself a glass of brandy as he checked his messages.
Sakura woke up in the middle of the night thirsty, getting out of bed she walked down the hall in her pajamas. When she reached the stairs she noticed that the door was opened and got a little scared. The thunder crashed making her jumped "This isn't a horror movie Sakura, calm down the wind probably knocked it open" she whispered holding unto her shirt tightly, when she reached the down the stairs she grabbed a vase. "Just for precaution" she repeated walking slowly towards the door. "Aaaaahhh" she screamed when an enormous figure step in the door, the lightening flashed casting its shadow over her, she swung the vase at him but he ducked grabbing her by the hands the vase shatter into a million pieces on the soaked ground as Sakura struggled against her capture. "Let me go.you mad man" she throw a punch at him but he ducked making her fall on her butt out in the rain, she didn't even realize they had switched positions.
"Are you mad?" he glowered towering over Sakura, she shivered thinking this is it for her.
"HELP!!!" she screamed as loud as she could, being a singer it was pretty loud making the man cringe (Ya'll should hear my sister scream, it makes your ears ring)
"Will you shut up" the man yelled coldly when the lights in the house were turned on.
"Ying Fa?!?!" Sakura heard Tomoyo yell as they all rushed down the stairs. "God lord what's going on?" Tomoyo gasped, she and the others looking at Sakura who was in the rain, soaked to the bone.
"This mad woman attacked me" the man snapped pointing at Sakura who was lost, angry and trembling at the same time.
"Attacked you were the one who threw me into the rain, I thought you were a robber" Sakura yelled standing up with Eriol's help who started to chuckle getting a glare from Sakura and the man. "What's so funny?"
"Your robber is the owner of the house Ying Fa, this is Li," Mei Lin laughed as they walked inside. Tomoyo handed both of them a towel to dry off but help Sakura who was trembling no doubt because she was in her pajamas.
"How was I supposed to know? I came down and the door was open then he just popped in front of me" Sakura said feeling silly that she over reacted so 'What a first impression' she thought miserably.
"Next time try to ask before you try to knock me out with a priceless vase for heavens sake you couldn't even throw a punch" Syaoran stated taking off his soak jacket revealing his soaked white shirt. She looked at for the first time in the light but her reply get caught in her throat, he was tall about 6 feet with broad shoulders and from the way his shirt sucked to him you could clearly see the muscles that rippled down his back she cut her examination short and glared at his hard face, his lips were in a thin line, his jaw clenched that was stamped with implacably authority and it was obvious that he had a vile temper.
"I will pay for the vase but not because its your house you have to right to scare people" Sakura snapped moving her hair out of her face before she turned on her heels and headed for the stairs dripping wet. Syaoran glared at the small figure but didn't say anything he just looked at his guest who except for Hitoshi had a smile of their faces Mei Lin was the first to speak.
"Where have you been? I got worried about you have you no heart? I called your cell it was turned off I called your house no answer I called all your houses and office the only place I didn't call was that woman's house or should I say that house you bought for her" Mei Lin yelled pointing her finger at him. "Syaoran the least you could have done was call and say you would be late isn't that reasonably enough?" she asked softly Syaoran glared hard at her before turning on his heels for the stairs.
"I turned it off so I wasn't interrupted next time I'll call" was all he said leaving them downstairs.
"I see his attitude hasn't changed" Hitoshi commented getting a glare from Mei Lin before she stomped off to her room.
"I'll go check on her and Sakura" Tomoyo said following the angry lady up the stairs leaving their bewildered husbands.
"This is going to be an interesting week" Eriol stated locking the door the other two nodded in agreement.
The morning sun came drying away the rain from the previous night; Sakura hadn't been able to sleep and woke up at 8. She showered, dressed and hurried down the stairs to look for the others. When she walked into the dining room she came face to face with everyone all ready having breakfast and flushed.
"Good morning am I too late for breakfast?" Sakura asked taking a seat beside Maria, the maid nodded and walked towards the door that led to the kitchen. "Morning Maria" she whispered making the girl giggle.
"Morning auntie Ying Fa" Maria replied smiling brightly.
"How'd you sleep Ying Fa?" Tomoyo asked smiling.
"Not good I guess but its because it's a new bed. It's a beautiful day" Sakura chirped smiling.
"Certainly is, Maria can't wait to go riding" Mei Lin said when the butler put down eggs, toast and orange juice, Sakura thanked him before turning her attention back to Mei Lin. "Tomoyo thinks we should cook for ourselves only using the cook if we have more guest what do you think?"
"I don't have a problem with it as long as I don't have to cook I haven't been in a kitchen in ages. I don't want to burn the house down, what does Li have to say its his staff" Sakura replied making them laugh. Syaoran looked up from the paper when he heard his name but didn't say anything just looked back down.
"I don't think he cares" Eriol said looking at Sakura who nodded. "Didn't Tomoyo tell me that you could cook?"
"I could when she was my teacher but I haven't done so since I was younger. I haven't a family or a husband to cook for soo I've never had to" Sakura answered taking a bit of her eggs.
"I'll gladly be your taste tester" Hitoshi offered smiling at Sakura who smiled back but didn't say anything.
"She can cook she just needs some practice to remember" Mei Lin said confidently. "But right now we're going riding I haven't ridden in soo long"
"Yay" Maria clapped giggling.
"OH Ying Fa you're going to love the lake its soo pretty excuse I'll go get my camcorder" Tomoyo said excusing her self from the table.
"I can see that Tomoyo hasn't given up that" Sakura said smiling.
"She'll never I don't know how much tapes we have of Maria" Eriol said making she and Mei Lin laughed remembering how Tomoyo used to act. "Xiao Lang, Lin isn't back yet?" Sakura couldn't remember where she heard that name before.
"No my mother and Lin will be arriving in three days" Syaoran answered casually.
"Ying Fa Lin is Xiao Lang's five year-year-old daughter" Sakura nodded understanding not noticing that Syaoran was looking at her closely, last night he didn't get a chance to look at her but now he could see that she was beautiful and had a lovely voice but she was dressed like a child.
"How old are you?" Hitoshi asked cutting Sakura's laughter short.
"I just turned twenty-one" Sakura answered turning her attention back to Maria who was wiggling out of her chair.
"What kind of job do you do?" He asked trying make conversation, Syaoran smirked watching him fail to keep her attention.
"I'm a high school teacher, I'll be starting when school opens in two weeks" Sakura answered proudly, Syaoran couldn't see why she would proud of teaching teenagers no doubt she would have the male population interested.
"Syaoran?" Mei Lin said breaking his line of thoughts.
"Yes?" Syaoran said looking up at her ignoring the smile on her face.
"Won't you come riding with us? I can't remember the way to the lake" Mei Lin stated lying through her teeth. "And I know you know the way like the back of your hand"
"NO" was all he said making her frown and everyone else looking at him.
"But Xiao Lang this is suppose to be your resting time please" Mei Lin said not believing he just said no like that, Sakura looked at him then at Mei Lin and noticed that what she said about him was way off he was a jerk.
"Not today Mei Lin and don't start" Syaoran snapped putting his paper down.
"You can't find time to spend with your family but last night you could surely find time to spend with Gwen when we were all here worried about you. When was the last time you did anything with Tommy? Or Danny? Not in a long time, its either your busy or you've got a dinner date with Gwen not even your mother or sisters see much of you cause your always away. You know your mother doesn't like her but you still brought her to her birthday party" Mei Lin stated glaring hard at him ignoring the glare Syaoran was giving her and that everyone else was in the room, she was working her self in to a rage. "Even Eriol spends more time with them and he's only there god father, well you know what you can right back to her your not welcome here I don't care if this is your house. Ying Fa should have knocked you out last night.maybe, just maybe she would have knocked some sense into you" she concluded breathing hard, he grew hard in the jaw but kept his temper in check only god knew how Renzo was able to handle her.
"Mei Lin?" Sakura said softly trying to ease the tension in the room.
"What?" Mei Lin yelled making Sakura jumped. "I'm sorry Saku" she apologized in a calmer tone.
"Don't worry about it we can surely find the lake by ourselves" Sakura said calmly looking at her red faced friend. "There is no way we can miss it all we have to do is go in the right direction" she added not wanting another argument this was turning into some vacation. "We."
"No" Syaoran said cutting her off, Sakura looked at him hard but he ignored her and added in the calmest tone he could muster. "You'll go right over into the gully I'll bring you."
"But we don't want to intrude on your work or maybe you have an important call since as you didn't want to accompany you family earlier" Sakura objected cutting him off, Syaoran glared at her but she ignored him. "We can have one of the groom bring us surely they know the way"
"I said I'll go" Syaoran snapped placing his hands firmly on the table.
"NO you said you'd bring us but its good to know you'll stay the entire afternoon I'm sure Tommy and Maria will love your company and Mei Lin won't have to work her way into another rage" Sakura concluded smiling sweetly at him, Syaoran was dumfounded he was just expertly talked into spending the entire day with them. Mei Lin squealed happily laughing when he sighed she looked at Sakura and wink, Sakura wink back holding in her laughter.
"What did I miss?" Tomoyo asked walking into the room with video camera.
"Xiao Lang is spending the entire day with us" Eriol answered smiling, Tomoyo looked at him not believing a word. "I'm not kidding"
"Wow" Tomoyo whispered making Sakura giggled as she started to tape, "And this is the fully grown up Ying Fa" she stuck out her tongue when Tomoyo came to her. "Nice one Saku and your supposed to be grown up" she teased.
"I am too grown up at least when I want to be" Sakura replied skipping out of the room with Maria who was giggling.
"All right let's go the day isn't going to wait for us" Mei Lin said happily dragging Renzo out of the room Hitoshi was all ready behind Sakura. Syaoran was the last to leave the room and he did so slowly putting his cell phone on vibrate not wanting to scare the horses, he couldn't believe a child fooled him. If she weren't so young he would have had an affair for her, one he knew woman didn't say no to.
"I won't fall for that next time," he whispered entering the stable; he hadn't been down here in ages. Mostly everyone was saddled except Sakura and Mei Lin who was giving Tommy to his father, Maria was riding with Eriol and the baby was with Housekeeper who Mei Lin knew and trusted.
"Here ma'am this is Luna" the groom said taking out the brown mare.
"She's beautiful."Sakura breathed running her hand over it's sleek back. "Can you ah help me up?" she asked smiling.
"I'll help her up get Shytan saddled" Syaoran said making Sakura jump she squirmed inside not wanting him to help her up but there was nothing she could do all the others were on their horses.
"Yes sir" the man said leaving Sakura's side.
"Ready?" Syaoran asked Sakura nodded not knowing what he was going to do, she near screamed when he lifted her by the waist and unto the horse like she was a paper doll.
"Tha.thank you" she mumbled trying to calm her racing heart, she looked at him and was filled with rage seeing that he was pleased with scaring her, he didn't voice it but she could see it in his deep amber eyes. Syaoran nodded knowing she was getting angry with him, he took the reins from the groom and swiftly mounted Shytan 'show off' Sakura thought admiring the way he moved absently.
"Well lets be on our way" he stated making the horse walk, everyone included Sakura easily followed that is until he picked up pace giving Sakura a little trouble.
"Um could you please slow down, I don't really know how to ride" Sakura said to Syaoran who was leading the group.
"Maybe you and Tommy should switch I'm sure he would be able to keep up" Syaoran replied feeling Sakura's eyes shoot daggers at his back.
"No I can manage I don't care if I have to walk crooked for days" Sakura stated stubbornly, he slowed the horse surprising Sakura but she didn't say anything all she did was take in the scenery. It took them half n' hour to reach the lake that had a river going through it and Sakura brightened seeing it, it wasn't really big but it was still beautiful at least to her Syaoran didn't seem in awe at it.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Mei Lin asked getting off her horse.
"Absolutely whose property are we on now?" Sakura asked getting off with ease.
"Mine and everything else around these parts are all ready own" Syaoran answered dryly it was like he was reading Sakura's mind.
"That's too bad" Sakura said absently not seeing the look Syaoran shot her as she walked to the edge with Tomoyo and Mei Lin behind. "Eh looks deep here" she commented looking over the edge.
"Only one way to find out" Mei Lin said from behind, that same line sound familiar to Sakura but she couldn't place it when she did it was too late.
"Mei.Aaahh" Sakura screamed falling backwards into the water, her scream was cut short when she was engulfed with the cool water.
"Well?" Mei Lin asked when she surfaced; Sakura smiled but didn't say anything she watched with glee as Tomoyo pushed Mei Lin in.
"Its deep" Sakura finally answered when Mei Lin came up glaring at Tomoyo who smiled sweetly taping them "Why don't you come in Tomoyo the water is perfect"
"Maybe later" Tomoyo said when Hitoshi jumped passed her and into the water splashing Mei Lin and Sakura.
"Renzo, Eriol why don't you guys come in I'm not even bothering to ask Xiao Lang because he won't come in" Mei Lin called waving them forward.
"Come jump Maria I can stand here I'll catch you" Sakura said Maria nodded and jumped in. Syaoran sat on his horse and watched as adults behaved like children, he would never behave like that he was long out of that stage. He took the time he had and looked around at his property and was pleased he would have to go and check out his other estates or send someone who he could trust to do so. He was knocked out of his reverie when his cell phone vibrated he smirked when he saw Gwen's cell number.
"Run out of money?" he asked hearing her laugh.
"NO I just wanted to know if you were bored out of your mind and want me to come down" Gwen stated picking out a new teddy (And not the kind you play with children)
"No I'm fine but I was tricked into spending the entire day with them and it's a very amusing sight" Syaoran replied watching them play well actually he was watching Sakura who was playing with Maria and Hitoshi who was always by her side.
"Oh that's too bad, where are you now?"
"On a horse watching them swim in my lake. I'm going to call them out now its getting hot" Syaoran answered waving them in, Sakura was the first to get out and he couldn't take his eyes off her perfect body even though she was tiny she well beautifully shaped her curves at all the right places, he glared at Hitoshi who couldn't keep his eyes of her as well.
"Xiao Lang?" Gwen repeated getting annoyed.
"Yes what?" Syaoran answered taking his eyes off Sakura who was walking towards him.
"I said if you your ride was okay last night knowing how you left late" Gwen repeated.
"No it wasn't I was almost knocked out by a priceless vase, nearly punched in the face by a child and was accused of being a robber in my own house" Syaoran stated making Gwen laugh.
"I feel sorry for that person did you fire him?" Gwen asked paying the cashier.
"NO I couldn't fire her, she was Tomoyo's sister and Mei Lin's best friend the one I was suppose to meet. In fact she was the one who tricked me into riding with them" he said tightly forgetting the way Sakura's body was appealing to him.
"Oh I see" Gwen said not at all pleased 'I see I have to go down there after all.
"I have to go I'll call you later" Syaoran said watching Hitoshi help Sakura unto her horse holding unto her longer then need be 'what's wrong with me' he thought angrily.
"All right bye" Gwen said but all she heard was a click, she frowned taking her bag.
"Hey Li can you take Tommy?" Hitoshi asked mounting.
"No" Syaoran answered turning his Black Stallion around.
"I wish I could take him but I don't know how to ride properly" Sakura sighed holding her reins.
"Don't worry about it" Hitoshi said smiling, Sakura smiled at him before turning her horse around.
"That was refreshing we need to do that again" Tomoyo commented stretching. "But all that sun wasn't something I needed" she added
"Yeah I know but I'm not complaining" Mei Lin said when they started to move, Sakura moved her horse in the front remembering the way they came perfectly she figured that Mei Lin just lied to get him to come and he still didn't have any fun.
"You know that hole idea of vacation is to relax and have fun" Sakura said looking ahead.
"I didn't know that" Syaoran said sarcastically making his horse move ahead down the narrow path.
"Why do you have to be soo rude, some host you are I know that Mei Lin invited me but this is your house and property I wonder if this is how you treat everyone" Sakura stated loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Look." Syaoran snapped looking at her but before he said anything Sakura's horse went out of control racing off with a screaming Sakura.
"Get her or she'll be hurt" Tomoyo yelled panicking, Syaoran cursed under his breath slapping the stallion making him break into a gallop. "Please make her all right" she whispered scared.
Syaoran caught up to her in no time and got his horse right beside hers. "She won't stop" she screamed pulling on the reins. "Make her stop" Syaoran looked ahead and knew that they were heading for the gully.
"You'll have to change horses" Syaoran shouted reaching for her, Sakura looked at him like he was crazy.
"YOU have get to be kidding" she snapped shaking her head no they were going too fast what if she fell.she didn't want to think about that.
"Well if you don't when the horse stops it'll catapult you into the gully coming up" Syaoran growled reaching for her. "I'll stop right now and gladly watch you go over the gully at least my horse won't get hurt" he added in a voice that said he would.
"You wouldn't?"
"Try me" he bit out, Sakura gulped not knowing what to do.
"You won't drop me?" Sakura asked
"I won't drop you if I did Mei Lin and Tomoyo would have my head now come" Syaoran answered. Sakura leaned towards him; Syaoran grabbed her around the waist and quickly pulled her over to his horse. He pulled on the reins making it come to a halt and watched Sakura's horse make it over the gully.
"Would you have really watch it catapult me into the gully?" Sakura whispered holding unto him so tight that her knuckles turned white.
"No I would have pulled you off your horse" Syaoran answered smirking; neither took notice of the awkward position they were in as Syaoran turned his horse around to head back. "But it was a thought" he added making Sakura giggle.
"You're a cruel man" she mumbled not moving her head from his chest where is rested (For note Sakura was facing him not away from him), his hands were around her tiny waist where he held the reins not minding that he was getting soaked. When they reached the others Tomoyo and Mei Lin shared a secret smile as she taped.
"Is she all right?" Hitoshi asked believing Sakura was knocked out. "Where's her horse?"
"My horse made it over the gully and is probably at the stable by now" Sakura answered not bothering to move her head that was spinning. "But I'm fine except for the fact that my head is spinning" she added holding her head.
"We should get back," Syaoran said looking at them aware of the glare Hitoshi had aimed at him everyone nodded and they took off much to Maria and Tommy's glee. When they reached the stable Syaoran got off the horse and help Sakura down, who punched him on the arm and walked off.
"That was for scaring me out of my mind it wasn't funny" she stated leaving an amused Syaoran who followed behind her.
"If I didn't you would have gone over the gully with the horse or with out and that wouldn't have been good" Syaoran said from behind making her jump. Sakura turned around and face to face with laughing eyes, she was inches away from having a nervous breakdown and he was laughing at her. "Are you mad with me for saving your life?" Syaoran asked aware that she was upset with him.
"What nerve you are the most impossible person I have ever come across in my entire life" Sakura yelled her hands in fists at her side.
"Which hasn't been a long time" Syaoran stated a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, if Sakura wasn't so mad at him she would have told him how much better he looked even with a half smile.
"Your impossible" Sakura repeated holding back the urge to slap him silly.
"You all ready said that" Syaoran pointed out pushing her buttons.
"And self centered too" Sakura yelled turning on her heels stalking off, if she stayed any longer she would have burst out laughing or worst slap him as hard as she could, he was so arrogant but yet breathtakingly handsome.
Syaoran watched her go and felt something unknown stir deep with him, he had to admit that there was something special about the child. She was beautiful and what he could all ready see, she was also witty and was strong but she was just a mere woman and looks were deceiving "I'll see what she is really like soon' he whispered looking at his soaked shirt before he started towards the house
Not far behind Tomoyo took her camera down and looked at Mei Lin who returned the look on her face, their smiles grow larger before they broke out laughing hysterically making the guys look at them, the look in their eyes said 'matching making time'.
Author's note: So what did you think? LOL I thought it was a good chapter but you guys have to decide that on your own. Remem. to shot me a holla and tell me what's on your mind. Ja Ne
Author's note: I'm so happy that ya'll like my story and I soo hope that it'll be a hit too. LOL I'm going crazy, whelp here's the next chapter and remem. To review.
When they arrived at the estate Sakura was stunned, it was beautiful at least for a Victorian styled house and large with lavish gardens. There was two cars there one she guessed to be Renzo's brother and the other the helpers.
"I have to admit I wasn't expecting a house like this" Sakura whispered as they headed to the front door before they knocked it was opened by a man who looked like a butler 'poor thing' she thought looking at how stiff he was'
"Good afternoon" he said stiffly making Sakura giggled.
"Good afternoon" they all said walking in.
"Our stuff is in the car, I guess your going to wait until the master gets home" Eriol said giving the man the car keys when two others showed up.
"Yes sir, I can't leave until he's satisfied" the man answered leaving them.
"I thought Li was your cousin, this house and furniture looks English" Sakura said looking at the finely English decorated house, with expensive finely craved furniture that one would see from the late eighteenth century.
"He is but his late wife was a finely breed English woman and she had to have the best especially since she loved to be a hostess. One thing I give her credit for and that is throwing parties" Mei Lin answered when a good looking guy who Sakura guessed was Renzo's brother walked into the room with a big smile on his face.
"Its about time ya'll got here man this house is slammin' I've all ready picked out my room.I wanted the one on the end it's the best but old geezer said that it was the master room and Li doesn't like people in his personal space so the office is off limits too" He stated giving his brother a hug.
"Yeah Li likes his privacy" Eriol stated looking around. "Oh this is Daidouji Ying Fa my wife's younger sister" he introduced.
"I must have died and gone to have heaven because you're heavenly" he said looking Sakura over, Sakura smiled slightly extending her hand. " Sekigawa Hitoshi at your service madam"
"It's a pleasure to meet you" Sakura said shaking his hand, she had to pull it back when he made no move to let it go.
"Ying Fa lets go pick out our rooms" Maria exclaimed dragging Sakura up the stairs.
"I'll see you guys in a few" Sakura laughed running after Maria.
"I think she just found her new play mate" Renzo commented hearing the laughing that echoed through the house.
"I think she just blew me off" Hitoshi said sadly making everyone look at him. "She didn't even want to talk to me what'd I do wrong?"
"You can't get Ying Fa by acting like that, she needs a real man" Tomoyo stated smiling. "We'll be staying in our regular rooms, have Ying Fa's bags brought to the room she wishes" she added looking at the helpers who nodded and got to work.
"I'm a real man and a lot more" Hitoshi objected smiling.
"What ever you say, oh a bit of advice pull your pants up do you have to have it hanging down there" Mei Lin said glaring at him. "Your still dressing like a child" she added walking up the stairs with Tomoyo and the baby.
"What's the matter with them?" Hitoshi asked looking up the stairs both men shrugged.
"You know they aren't lying, you're the baby in the family but you need to grow up. I think that Ying Fa would be good for you but you can't impress her that way" Renzo said looking at his brother, sometimes he wondered if there was something wrong with him.
"Xiao Lang should be here sometime around dinner try not to irritate him or make a fool of your self when his acquaintances start to come by" Eriol stated walking off to the study with Renzo.
"Why would I do that?" Hitoshi asked following them.
"Remember at his younger sisters engagement party you were hitting on her" Renzo answered scathingly.
"Oh yeah I remember that, how could I forget the way he yelled at me" Hitoshi said making them cringe.
"How could we forget that was pretty stupid of you, you almost ruined his sisters marriage and the alliance his family was getting out of the marriage" Eriol confirmed sitting down.
"This room is soo gorgeous" Sakura breathed looking at the pink room, it had a large bed and done in a French style, she walked and looked out the window at the property that was about three times the size of Tomoyo's she could see a small part of the stable from where she was.
"Isn't it? All of his estates are this beautiful but he never uses them, he stays at his condo in Hong Kong that's where his office is" Mei Lin said falling back on the bed almost sinking into the comforter.
"Your cousin sounds boring" Sakura commented absently turning around.
"He isn't he just needs a life" Tomoyo corrected. "Someone to get his mind off his work someone who isn't that gold digger Gwen" she added Mei Lin nodding in agreement.
"But he's just too stubborn, he's worst then me at least I know that he'll never marry her I don't want her in my family" Mei Lin stated getting up. "He should be here by dinner come on let's go see what the cook is preparing for dinner"
"Okay" Sakura said following them out of the room. Well they were wrong Li didn't show up for dinner and didn't even call to say where he was. Mei Lin got worried because even when she called his cell he didn't answer it or his home phone number.
"I'm sure he's fine sweetie, he's a grown man stop worrying about him, he'll probably arrive later tonight" Renzo assured wrapping his arm around her waist.
"I think it's rude of him to have you worrying like this at least he could have had the decency to call" Sakura stated looking out the window it was all ready 10:30.
"Li doesn't care, he'll show up when ever he feels like it" Hitoshi said smiling like an idiot.
"Well we all might as well turn in for the night, you can have him explain tomorrow" Eriol said standing up, everyone nodded and headed towards the stairs.
"Are we going riding tomorrow?" Sakura asked excitedly. "I've never ridden before"
"Yeah I think so," Tomoyo answered smiling.
"Don't worry I'll teach how to ride" Hitoshi said moving closer to Sakura.
"Really? That would be nice. I'll see you all tomorrow" Sakura mock yawned, she gave Mei Lin and Tomoyo a hug before going to her room.
"Strike one" Tomoyo laughed walking with Eriol to their room but not before checking on their daughter.
Syaoran.
"Great.it just had to start raining" Syaoran growled under his breath as he turned the radio off having hearing enough of that pop singer Cherry. "She's dead god" turning onto the private road that led to his house, when he got there he drove through the gates up to the front door. He got his briefcase and hurried to the door he opened it and went straight to his office not even bothering to turn off his car or close door. He put his briefcase on his desk and poured himself a glass of brandy as he checked his messages.
Sakura woke up in the middle of the night thirsty, getting out of bed she walked down the hall in her pajamas. When she reached the stairs she noticed that the door was opened and got a little scared. The thunder crashed making her jumped "This isn't a horror movie Sakura, calm down the wind probably knocked it open" she whispered holding unto her shirt tightly, when she reached the down the stairs she grabbed a vase. "Just for precaution" she repeated walking slowly towards the door. "Aaaaahhh" she screamed when an enormous figure step in the door, the lightening flashed casting its shadow over her, she swung the vase at him but he ducked grabbing her by the hands the vase shatter into a million pieces on the soaked ground as Sakura struggled against her capture. "Let me go.you mad man" she throw a punch at him but he ducked making her fall on her butt out in the rain, she didn't even realize they had switched positions.
"Are you mad?" he glowered towering over Sakura, she shivered thinking this is it for her.
"HELP!!!" she screamed as loud as she could, being a singer it was pretty loud making the man cringe (Ya'll should hear my sister scream, it makes your ears ring)
"Will you shut up" the man yelled coldly when the lights in the house were turned on.
"Ying Fa?!?!" Sakura heard Tomoyo yell as they all rushed down the stairs. "God lord what's going on?" Tomoyo gasped, she and the others looking at Sakura who was in the rain, soaked to the bone.
"This mad woman attacked me" the man snapped pointing at Sakura who was lost, angry and trembling at the same time.
"Attacked you were the one who threw me into the rain, I thought you were a robber" Sakura yelled standing up with Eriol's help who started to chuckle getting a glare from Sakura and the man. "What's so funny?"
"Your robber is the owner of the house Ying Fa, this is Li," Mei Lin laughed as they walked inside. Tomoyo handed both of them a towel to dry off but help Sakura who was trembling no doubt because she was in her pajamas.
"How was I supposed to know? I came down and the door was open then he just popped in front of me" Sakura said feeling silly that she over reacted so 'What a first impression' she thought miserably.
"Next time try to ask before you try to knock me out with a priceless vase for heavens sake you couldn't even throw a punch" Syaoran stated taking off his soak jacket revealing his soaked white shirt. She looked at for the first time in the light but her reply get caught in her throat, he was tall about 6 feet with broad shoulders and from the way his shirt sucked to him you could clearly see the muscles that rippled down his back she cut her examination short and glared at his hard face, his lips were in a thin line, his jaw clenched that was stamped with implacably authority and it was obvious that he had a vile temper.
"I will pay for the vase but not because its your house you have to right to scare people" Sakura snapped moving her hair out of her face before she turned on her heels and headed for the stairs dripping wet. Syaoran glared at the small figure but didn't say anything he just looked at his guest who except for Hitoshi had a smile of their faces Mei Lin was the first to speak.
"Where have you been? I got worried about you have you no heart? I called your cell it was turned off I called your house no answer I called all your houses and office the only place I didn't call was that woman's house or should I say that house you bought for her" Mei Lin yelled pointing her finger at him. "Syaoran the least you could have done was call and say you would be late isn't that reasonably enough?" she asked softly Syaoran glared hard at her before turning on his heels for the stairs.
"I turned it off so I wasn't interrupted next time I'll call" was all he said leaving them downstairs.
"I see his attitude hasn't changed" Hitoshi commented getting a glare from Mei Lin before she stomped off to her room.
"I'll go check on her and Sakura" Tomoyo said following the angry lady up the stairs leaving their bewildered husbands.
"This is going to be an interesting week" Eriol stated locking the door the other two nodded in agreement.
The morning sun came drying away the rain from the previous night; Sakura hadn't been able to sleep and woke up at 8. She showered, dressed and hurried down the stairs to look for the others. When she walked into the dining room she came face to face with everyone all ready having breakfast and flushed.
"Good morning am I too late for breakfast?" Sakura asked taking a seat beside Maria, the maid nodded and walked towards the door that led to the kitchen. "Morning Maria" she whispered making the girl giggle.
"Morning auntie Ying Fa" Maria replied smiling brightly.
"How'd you sleep Ying Fa?" Tomoyo asked smiling.
"Not good I guess but its because it's a new bed. It's a beautiful day" Sakura chirped smiling.
"Certainly is, Maria can't wait to go riding" Mei Lin said when the butler put down eggs, toast and orange juice, Sakura thanked him before turning her attention back to Mei Lin. "Tomoyo thinks we should cook for ourselves only using the cook if we have more guest what do you think?"
"I don't have a problem with it as long as I don't have to cook I haven't been in a kitchen in ages. I don't want to burn the house down, what does Li have to say its his staff" Sakura replied making them laugh. Syaoran looked up from the paper when he heard his name but didn't say anything just looked back down.
"I don't think he cares" Eriol said looking at Sakura who nodded. "Didn't Tomoyo tell me that you could cook?"
"I could when she was my teacher but I haven't done so since I was younger. I haven't a family or a husband to cook for soo I've never had to" Sakura answered taking a bit of her eggs.
"I'll gladly be your taste tester" Hitoshi offered smiling at Sakura who smiled back but didn't say anything.
"She can cook she just needs some practice to remember" Mei Lin said confidently. "But right now we're going riding I haven't ridden in soo long"
"Yay" Maria clapped giggling.
"OH Ying Fa you're going to love the lake its soo pretty excuse I'll go get my camcorder" Tomoyo said excusing her self from the table.
"I can see that Tomoyo hasn't given up that" Sakura said smiling.
"She'll never I don't know how much tapes we have of Maria" Eriol said making she and Mei Lin laughed remembering how Tomoyo used to act. "Xiao Lang, Lin isn't back yet?" Sakura couldn't remember where she heard that name before.
"No my mother and Lin will be arriving in three days" Syaoran answered casually.
"Ying Fa Lin is Xiao Lang's five year-year-old daughter" Sakura nodded understanding not noticing that Syaoran was looking at her closely, last night he didn't get a chance to look at her but now he could see that she was beautiful and had a lovely voice but she was dressed like a child.
"How old are you?" Hitoshi asked cutting Sakura's laughter short.
"I just turned twenty-one" Sakura answered turning her attention back to Maria who was wiggling out of her chair.
"What kind of job do you do?" He asked trying make conversation, Syaoran smirked watching him fail to keep her attention.
"I'm a high school teacher, I'll be starting when school opens in two weeks" Sakura answered proudly, Syaoran couldn't see why she would proud of teaching teenagers no doubt she would have the male population interested.
"Syaoran?" Mei Lin said breaking his line of thoughts.
"Yes?" Syaoran said looking up at her ignoring the smile on her face.
"Won't you come riding with us? I can't remember the way to the lake" Mei Lin stated lying through her teeth. "And I know you know the way like the back of your hand"
"NO" was all he said making her frown and everyone else looking at him.
"But Xiao Lang this is suppose to be your resting time please" Mei Lin said not believing he just said no like that, Sakura looked at him then at Mei Lin and noticed that what she said about him was way off he was a jerk.
"Not today Mei Lin and don't start" Syaoran snapped putting his paper down.
"You can't find time to spend with your family but last night you could surely find time to spend with Gwen when we were all here worried about you. When was the last time you did anything with Tommy? Or Danny? Not in a long time, its either your busy or you've got a dinner date with Gwen not even your mother or sisters see much of you cause your always away. You know your mother doesn't like her but you still brought her to her birthday party" Mei Lin stated glaring hard at him ignoring the glare Syaoran was giving her and that everyone else was in the room, she was working her self in to a rage. "Even Eriol spends more time with them and he's only there god father, well you know what you can right back to her your not welcome here I don't care if this is your house. Ying Fa should have knocked you out last night.maybe, just maybe she would have knocked some sense into you" she concluded breathing hard, he grew hard in the jaw but kept his temper in check only god knew how Renzo was able to handle her.
"Mei Lin?" Sakura said softly trying to ease the tension in the room.
"What?" Mei Lin yelled making Sakura jumped. "I'm sorry Saku" she apologized in a calmer tone.
"Don't worry about it we can surely find the lake by ourselves" Sakura said calmly looking at her red faced friend. "There is no way we can miss it all we have to do is go in the right direction" she added not wanting another argument this was turning into some vacation. "We."
"No" Syaoran said cutting her off, Sakura looked at him hard but he ignored her and added in the calmest tone he could muster. "You'll go right over into the gully I'll bring you."
"But we don't want to intrude on your work or maybe you have an important call since as you didn't want to accompany you family earlier" Sakura objected cutting him off, Syaoran glared at her but she ignored him. "We can have one of the groom bring us surely they know the way"
"I said I'll go" Syaoran snapped placing his hands firmly on the table.
"NO you said you'd bring us but its good to know you'll stay the entire afternoon I'm sure Tommy and Maria will love your company and Mei Lin won't have to work her way into another rage" Sakura concluded smiling sweetly at him, Syaoran was dumfounded he was just expertly talked into spending the entire day with them. Mei Lin squealed happily laughing when he sighed she looked at Sakura and wink, Sakura wink back holding in her laughter.
"What did I miss?" Tomoyo asked walking into the room with video camera.
"Xiao Lang is spending the entire day with us" Eriol answered smiling, Tomoyo looked at him not believing a word. "I'm not kidding"
"Wow" Tomoyo whispered making Sakura giggled as she started to tape, "And this is the fully grown up Ying Fa" she stuck out her tongue when Tomoyo came to her. "Nice one Saku and your supposed to be grown up" she teased.
"I am too grown up at least when I want to be" Sakura replied skipping out of the room with Maria who was giggling.
"All right let's go the day isn't going to wait for us" Mei Lin said happily dragging Renzo out of the room Hitoshi was all ready behind Sakura. Syaoran was the last to leave the room and he did so slowly putting his cell phone on vibrate not wanting to scare the horses, he couldn't believe a child fooled him. If she weren't so young he would have had an affair for her, one he knew woman didn't say no to.
"I won't fall for that next time," he whispered entering the stable; he hadn't been down here in ages. Mostly everyone was saddled except Sakura and Mei Lin who was giving Tommy to his father, Maria was riding with Eriol and the baby was with Housekeeper who Mei Lin knew and trusted.
"Here ma'am this is Luna" the groom said taking out the brown mare.
"She's beautiful."Sakura breathed running her hand over it's sleek back. "Can you ah help me up?" she asked smiling.
"I'll help her up get Shytan saddled" Syaoran said making Sakura jump she squirmed inside not wanting him to help her up but there was nothing she could do all the others were on their horses.
"Yes sir" the man said leaving Sakura's side.
"Ready?" Syaoran asked Sakura nodded not knowing what he was going to do, she near screamed when he lifted her by the waist and unto the horse like she was a paper doll.
"Tha.thank you" she mumbled trying to calm her racing heart, she looked at him and was filled with rage seeing that he was pleased with scaring her, he didn't voice it but she could see it in his deep amber eyes. Syaoran nodded knowing she was getting angry with him, he took the reins from the groom and swiftly mounted Shytan 'show off' Sakura thought admiring the way he moved absently.
"Well lets be on our way" he stated making the horse walk, everyone included Sakura easily followed that is until he picked up pace giving Sakura a little trouble.
"Um could you please slow down, I don't really know how to ride" Sakura said to Syaoran who was leading the group.
"Maybe you and Tommy should switch I'm sure he would be able to keep up" Syaoran replied feeling Sakura's eyes shoot daggers at his back.
"No I can manage I don't care if I have to walk crooked for days" Sakura stated stubbornly, he slowed the horse surprising Sakura but she didn't say anything all she did was take in the scenery. It took them half n' hour to reach the lake that had a river going through it and Sakura brightened seeing it, it wasn't really big but it was still beautiful at least to her Syaoran didn't seem in awe at it.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Mei Lin asked getting off her horse.
"Absolutely whose property are we on now?" Sakura asked getting off with ease.
"Mine and everything else around these parts are all ready own" Syaoran answered dryly it was like he was reading Sakura's mind.
"That's too bad" Sakura said absently not seeing the look Syaoran shot her as she walked to the edge with Tomoyo and Mei Lin behind. "Eh looks deep here" she commented looking over the edge.
"Only one way to find out" Mei Lin said from behind, that same line sound familiar to Sakura but she couldn't place it when she did it was too late.
"Mei.Aaahh" Sakura screamed falling backwards into the water, her scream was cut short when she was engulfed with the cool water.
"Well?" Mei Lin asked when she surfaced; Sakura smiled but didn't say anything she watched with glee as Tomoyo pushed Mei Lin in.
"Its deep" Sakura finally answered when Mei Lin came up glaring at Tomoyo who smiled sweetly taping them "Why don't you come in Tomoyo the water is perfect"
"Maybe later" Tomoyo said when Hitoshi jumped passed her and into the water splashing Mei Lin and Sakura.
"Renzo, Eriol why don't you guys come in I'm not even bothering to ask Xiao Lang because he won't come in" Mei Lin called waving them forward.
"Come jump Maria I can stand here I'll catch you" Sakura said Maria nodded and jumped in. Syaoran sat on his horse and watched as adults behaved like children, he would never behave like that he was long out of that stage. He took the time he had and looked around at his property and was pleased he would have to go and check out his other estates or send someone who he could trust to do so. He was knocked out of his reverie when his cell phone vibrated he smirked when he saw Gwen's cell number.
"Run out of money?" he asked hearing her laugh.
"NO I just wanted to know if you were bored out of your mind and want me to come down" Gwen stated picking out a new teddy (And not the kind you play with children)
"No I'm fine but I was tricked into spending the entire day with them and it's a very amusing sight" Syaoran replied watching them play well actually he was watching Sakura who was playing with Maria and Hitoshi who was always by her side.
"Oh that's too bad, where are you now?"
"On a horse watching them swim in my lake. I'm going to call them out now its getting hot" Syaoran answered waving them in, Sakura was the first to get out and he couldn't take his eyes off her perfect body even though she was tiny she well beautifully shaped her curves at all the right places, he glared at Hitoshi who couldn't keep his eyes of her as well.
"Xiao Lang?" Gwen repeated getting annoyed.
"Yes what?" Syaoran answered taking his eyes off Sakura who was walking towards him.
"I said if you your ride was okay last night knowing how you left late" Gwen repeated.
"No it wasn't I was almost knocked out by a priceless vase, nearly punched in the face by a child and was accused of being a robber in my own house" Syaoran stated making Gwen laugh.
"I feel sorry for that person did you fire him?" Gwen asked paying the cashier.
"NO I couldn't fire her, she was Tomoyo's sister and Mei Lin's best friend the one I was suppose to meet. In fact she was the one who tricked me into riding with them" he said tightly forgetting the way Sakura's body was appealing to him.
"Oh I see" Gwen said not at all pleased 'I see I have to go down there after all.
"I have to go I'll call you later" Syaoran said watching Hitoshi help Sakura unto her horse holding unto her longer then need be 'what's wrong with me' he thought angrily.
"All right bye" Gwen said but all she heard was a click, she frowned taking her bag.
"Hey Li can you take Tommy?" Hitoshi asked mounting.
"No" Syaoran answered turning his Black Stallion around.
"I wish I could take him but I don't know how to ride properly" Sakura sighed holding her reins.
"Don't worry about it" Hitoshi said smiling, Sakura smiled at him before turning her horse around.
"That was refreshing we need to do that again" Tomoyo commented stretching. "But all that sun wasn't something I needed" she added
"Yeah I know but I'm not complaining" Mei Lin said when they started to move, Sakura moved her horse in the front remembering the way they came perfectly she figured that Mei Lin just lied to get him to come and he still didn't have any fun.
"You know that hole idea of vacation is to relax and have fun" Sakura said looking ahead.
"I didn't know that" Syaoran said sarcastically making his horse move ahead down the narrow path.
"Why do you have to be soo rude, some host you are I know that Mei Lin invited me but this is your house and property I wonder if this is how you treat everyone" Sakura stated loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Look." Syaoran snapped looking at her but before he said anything Sakura's horse went out of control racing off with a screaming Sakura.
"Get her or she'll be hurt" Tomoyo yelled panicking, Syaoran cursed under his breath slapping the stallion making him break into a gallop. "Please make her all right" she whispered scared.
Syaoran caught up to her in no time and got his horse right beside hers. "She won't stop" she screamed pulling on the reins. "Make her stop" Syaoran looked ahead and knew that they were heading for the gully.
"You'll have to change horses" Syaoran shouted reaching for her, Sakura looked at him like he was crazy.
"YOU have get to be kidding" she snapped shaking her head no they were going too fast what if she fell.she didn't want to think about that.
"Well if you don't when the horse stops it'll catapult you into the gully coming up" Syaoran growled reaching for her. "I'll stop right now and gladly watch you go over the gully at least my horse won't get hurt" he added in a voice that said he would.
"You wouldn't?"
"Try me" he bit out, Sakura gulped not knowing what to do.
"You won't drop me?" Sakura asked
"I won't drop you if I did Mei Lin and Tomoyo would have my head now come" Syaoran answered. Sakura leaned towards him; Syaoran grabbed her around the waist and quickly pulled her over to his horse. He pulled on the reins making it come to a halt and watched Sakura's horse make it over the gully.
"Would you have really watch it catapult me into the gully?" Sakura whispered holding unto him so tight that her knuckles turned white.
"No I would have pulled you off your horse" Syaoran answered smirking; neither took notice of the awkward position they were in as Syaoran turned his horse around to head back. "But it was a thought" he added making Sakura giggle.
"You're a cruel man" she mumbled not moving her head from his chest where is rested (For note Sakura was facing him not away from him), his hands were around her tiny waist where he held the reins not minding that he was getting soaked. When they reached the others Tomoyo and Mei Lin shared a secret smile as she taped.
"Is she all right?" Hitoshi asked believing Sakura was knocked out. "Where's her horse?"
"My horse made it over the gully and is probably at the stable by now" Sakura answered not bothering to move her head that was spinning. "But I'm fine except for the fact that my head is spinning" she added holding her head.
"We should get back," Syaoran said looking at them aware of the glare Hitoshi had aimed at him everyone nodded and they took off much to Maria and Tommy's glee. When they reached the stable Syaoran got off the horse and help Sakura down, who punched him on the arm and walked off.
"That was for scaring me out of my mind it wasn't funny" she stated leaving an amused Syaoran who followed behind her.
"If I didn't you would have gone over the gully with the horse or with out and that wouldn't have been good" Syaoran said from behind making her jump. Sakura turned around and face to face with laughing eyes, she was inches away from having a nervous breakdown and he was laughing at her. "Are you mad with me for saving your life?" Syaoran asked aware that she was upset with him.
"What nerve you are the most impossible person I have ever come across in my entire life" Sakura yelled her hands in fists at her side.
"Which hasn't been a long time" Syaoran stated a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, if Sakura wasn't so mad at him she would have told him how much better he looked even with a half smile.
"Your impossible" Sakura repeated holding back the urge to slap him silly.
"You all ready said that" Syaoran pointed out pushing her buttons.
"And self centered too" Sakura yelled turning on her heels stalking off, if she stayed any longer she would have burst out laughing or worst slap him as hard as she could, he was so arrogant but yet breathtakingly handsome.
Syaoran watched her go and felt something unknown stir deep with him, he had to admit that there was something special about the child. She was beautiful and what he could all ready see, she was also witty and was strong but she was just a mere woman and looks were deceiving "I'll see what she is really like soon' he whispered looking at his soaked shirt before he started towards the house
Not far behind Tomoyo took her camera down and looked at Mei Lin who returned the look on her face, their smiles grow larger before they broke out laughing hysterically making the guys look at them, the look in their eyes said 'matching making time'.
