Author's note: Here's the next addiction and I hope it's to your liking LOL. Um thank you to all those who have reviewed and I will continue to the end. Enjoy..
"Wrong person, but if you wish it to be, I can get him for you" came Syaoran's masculine voice, on her neck, making Sakura shiver all over, she could feel the strength he possessed radiating from him, such masculine power.
"I just thought that you would be attending to Miss Chin, but I guess she isn't afraid of the dark," Sakura replied relaxing, she was fully aware of how close they were at the moment but it was dark and she didn't want to be by herself.
"And you are?" Syaoran asked leading to where, she guess was the way to the dining room, she was wrong.
"It's childish, but I've always been afraid of ghosts" Sakura confessed uneasily.
"Everyone's afraid of something," Syaoran said softly as they walked.
"What are you afraid of?" Sakura asked trying to clear her mind from worrying.
"Nothing." he answered letting go of her, she humph but didn't say anything else on the matter. Everyone was afraid of something, she knew, but for him to say he is a flat out lie.
"Wait where are you going?" she asked reaching for him, "Please don't leave me by my self"
"Fine I was just going to turn the fireplace on" Syaoran said taking hold of her hand making Sakura sigh, ignoring the sarcastic tone in his voice.
"So we're not in the dinning room?"
"NO we're in my office, Gwen and Hitoshi are staying put until I have this lighted" Syaoran answered when lightening flash outlining his body. "Sit here" he added moving her beside a chair. Sakura sat, without saying anything only hearing the movements of his footsteps. In a few minutes he had the fire going and Gwen and Hitoshi came in the room, while he was lighting the lamps. "We can each bring one upstairs and light the ones in our rooms, I'll go to the kids, and Hitoshi go to your brothers, Sakura to Tomoyo's and Gwen yours"
"Okay" they all said taking one Syaoran led the way up the stairs with Gwen at his side and Sakura and Hitoshi behind, something about the order they were in didn't seem right. Sakura listened quietly to the jabbering of Gwen who was talking and from the look on Syaoran's face he wasn't the least bit interested, and Sakura had to bit back a smile.
"I hope the lights go on soon" Sakura commented looking deep into the flame, so her eyes wouldn't wonder to his large frame or how his hands felt around her when he held her.
"Why do we have to bring lamps to them?" Gwen asked.
"Because no one in this house smokes except for you, the only time we smoke cigars is at parties" Syaoran answered when they reached the bed rooms, the doors were open with the guys holding lamps ready.
"SO nice of you" Eriol smiled when Sakura lighted his lamp, Sakura giggled doing a curtsy.
"Mi lord" she said looking over at Tomoyo who was sound asleep. "I take it you weren't asleep"
"No I was doing some work," Eriol answered smiling. "But I'm going to now"
"All right good night" Sakura said leaving to her room, but bumped into Syaoran who was coming out of the kids room. "Good night" she whispered smiling.
"Good night Sakura" Syaoran said softly moving out of her way, Sakura passed walking slowly to her room. Syaoran started down the hall when he heard her door click to make sure everything was locked up. "When your finish here make sure the back door is look," he said to Miss Aida who nodded before he left the kitchen. He placed the lamp on the fireplace in his room before going to shower; tomorrow he would be back to work.
Next morning.
Well it seem as if luck wasn't at all on their side because the power hadn't come back and it was still raining heavily. Mei Lin, wasn't so eager to leave that she would put her families and close friends life in danger just to get away from Gwen, but she would surely enjoy making her life a living hell.
"Where are you guys going?" Tomoyo asked looking at Syaoran, Eriol and Renzo dressed in raincoats.
"To get the generator going" Eriol answered opening the kitchen door "If we wash away don't come after us" he added making Tomoyo laugh before he and the others left. She grabbed the pots, spoons and anything she could be used to make music, before returning to the living room, where everyone was waiting for her.
Syaoran.
"Try now" he yelled, to Renzo who nodded and pulled the cord but it wasn't successful.
"This thing is ancient" Renzo said looking at the generator.
"I haven't used this place in a long time what'd you expect?" Syaoran snapped, he wasn't having a good time Mei Lin and mostly everyone was still in a bad mood, sometimes he left like wringing Gwen's neck for her stupidity. "Lets just try again"
"I'll pull" Eriol said getting in position while Syaoran repeated the steps when he pulled it started up making them sigh before going back inside. On there way back the sound of pots and pans banging together stop them.
"What the devil" Renzo said as they walked to the door of the living room a smile forming on all their faces well except for Syaoran. In the room were Sakura, Hitoshi, their wives and children having their own concert with the Tarzan song in the background that was coming to an end (The song is Trashing the camp for all those who watched it).
"Hey Ying Fa sing for us" Mei Lin shouted giving Sakura the wooden spoon for the mic.
"What do you want me to sing?" she asked giddily dancing to the music that was no longer playing.
"Anything" Tomoyo helped taping "Correction something appropriate" she corrected making everyone laugh including the guys at the door, but their presence still went unnoticed.
"What's going on down here?" Gwen asked but got her answer looking in the room she was going to walk inside, when Syaoran caught her by the arm pulling her back when Sakura spoke.
"Funny. lets see something for kids" Sakura said acting like she was in deep thought "Hah I got it"
"What is it?" Maria asked anxiously, Sakura smiled sweetly before she started to sing.
Sakura: I know I'm not the flower you see but what can I do you are a good- looking bee (Tomoyo and Mei Lin laughed recognizing the song.
Mei Lin and Tomoyo: Wham bam thank you ma'am
Sakura: Ohhhh bumble bee bump into me I'm in for abomination, bumble bee take what you see I am in need for your donation" all the guys watched as Sakura danced around with Danny Maria and Tommy dancing with Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Hitoshi. "I can't wait for your evasion"
Mei Lin: Be my love, cause I'm a single flower feeling free. blooming now take me honey be my favorite bee"
Tomoyo in a deep voice: hey rose I'm ready again I got my radar tune in on you baby" she went after Tommy making laugh and hide. "I'm all set and ready to land"
All: Bumblebee see bump into me.I am in for abomination, bumblebee take what you see I am in need for your donation. You don't need no invitation.
Tomoyo: Wham bam thank you ma'am, I'm going wham bam thank you ma'am
Sakura: All I know is you're my honey and I can't say no" Sakura turned around to see Syaoran and everyone watching them "Just a little bit shy I'm so excited when I see you fly." she trailed off seeing Syaoran with a amused smile on his face, she felt her face flush from embarrassment and had to look down not wanting to see the unfamiliar look in Syaoran's eyes.
Tomoyo: Hey rose I'm ready again I got my radar tuned in on you baby." she too trailed off noticing they had an audience.
"Well how long were all of you watching us?" Mei Lin asked smiling
"Long enough Bumblebee, some how Ying Fa I don't think that was appropriate" Renzo said making Sakura blush.
"It's the only one I could think of besides they don't know that" Sakura replied smiling
"I think your right by the way you have a beautiful voice, I've heard Tomoyo and Mei Lin sing but not you" Eriol said making Sakura flush again.
"I was just about to say the same thing" Hitoshi chipped in smiling "This is was somewhat as good as a night club I can feel the burn"
"And what would make it one?" Mei Lin asked eyeing him
"A good drink to cool off" Hitoshi answered ducking a cushion that came his way from Tomoyo who was laughing.
"Really well we can do that" Sakura stated laughing "Round up kids we're going to the kitchen for refreshments while your mothers clean this mess up"
"Hey that isn't fare" Mei Lin exclaimed placing her hands on her hips
"I know" Sakura replied giggling.
"You have until three" Mei Lin warned smirking. "One. Two." everyone screamed running of the run only leaving Syaoran, Eriol, Renzo, Gwen and her "Works every time" she laughed.
"Mei Lin your getting old" came Sakura's laughing voice "I can't even see you don't worry we'll wait for you"
"You'd better hide missy" Mei Lin shot back running after them.
"Well at least she's in a better mood" Eriol commented picking up the pans.
"And now we've have more children to worry about, I know that Lin would have liked Ying Fa" Renzo stated but Gwen snorted.
"That little brat doesn't like anyone" she said dryly walking over the mess to the sofa.
"That's not true she's a very well mannered girl, she and Maria gets along very well" Eriol objected looking at Syaoran but he didn't say anything. He didn't know his daughter since as she was always with his mother, sometimes Eriol wondered if he had a heart neglecting his own daughter, maybe if she had looked like her mother but that was the thing, she looked nothing like her mother, she looked exactly like Syaoran.
"Believe what you want I just want this weather to clear up" Gwen said looking out the window at the heavy rain.
"Since you got here it's been this way maybe when you leave it'll be sunny again" Renzo stated harshly, when they finished cleaning up the room.
"I think we're got rain dancers but instead their wishing the rain away" Eriol chuckled looking out the window at Sakura and everyone dancing around, Syaoran and the others walked to the window to look a the spectacle.
"They must be crazy, really grown adults acting like children" Gwen said disapprovingly when Sakura danced her way to the window unaware how her clothing stuck to her body outlining every curve.
"Come on out it'll cool you off, and it's fun don't be a bore" Sakura stated smiling "Come on guys don't let Hitoshi have all the fun" she added pointing at him while he danced around with Maria.
"Come on Eriol she's right and its not everyday we get a chance to dance in the rain" Renzo said heading the door.
"Aren't you coming?" Eriol asked looking at Syaoran who nodded 'no' "You don't know what your missing out on" he added leaving.
"Your not missing out on anything" Gwen assured hugging him from behind when Sakura looked directly at him before Hitoshi reached for her hand drawing her attention away. Syaoran could feel jealously rise inside him seeing that but there was nothing he could do about it.
"I highly doubt that" Syaoran said breaking free of her embrace.
"Why are you being so cold?"
"I was always this way" he replied sitting down away from the window
"I thought you would be glad to see me, even last night you had your door locked" she snapped pouting at him.
"You thought wrong." was he said resting his head against the chair when Sakura slipped into the room almost losing her balance. She ignored the look Gwen gave her and focused on Syaoran who was trying not to laugh.
"Go ahead I won't mind" Sakura snapped walking slowly towards him.
"Do what?" Syaoran asked innocently his eyes looking over her body slowly.
"Laugh I know you want to" Sakura answered placing her tiny hands on her hips with a frown on her beautiful face, that Syaoran couldn't help the smile that found its way on his face.
"My dear, all you are doing is getting the floor wet" Syaoran pointed Sakura looked behind her looking at the trail of water holding her hair she squeezed out the water out of her hair defiantly. "YOU brat" he half laughed, half growled getting up.
"What are you going to do about it?" Sakura asked taking a step back a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I was sent here to retrieve you since as this is suppose to be your vacation, but knowing the grown up adult you are and having fun is not in your vocabulary. I doubt you would want to" Syaoran raised a brow at her, but Sakura just continued "I mean, I understand if your old age permits you not to do anything active. We don't want your back going out or even worst you having a heart attack" Syaoran shoulder shook with laughter listening to her ploy, as she backed out the living room, into the front room towards the front door, that was open. "If that were to happen an ambulance couldn't get out here and then where would we be?" she continued innocently smiling.
"You are making me sound like a dead bore" Syaoran said mockingly, when Sakura reached the doors.
"Well isn't that what you are? Or was I terribly mistaken?" she asked ingenuously watching Mei Lin and Tomoyo sneaked up on Syaoran before he realized what they were going to do they dragged him out the door Mei Lin slamming it behind him then locking.
"You'd do anything to keep us apart" Came Gwen's voice from behind Mei Lin; Mei Lin turned and smiled sweetly.
"Xiao Lang knew we were behind him all the time, he was trained in martial arts all his life. My guess is that he wanted to go we just help him along, want to come out and play" Mei Lin asked nicely "Oh wait you might melt we can't have that now can we?" she laughed walking out the door not even bothering to close it. Gwen walked up and looked outside to see what was happening, her hatred to Mei Lin growing by the second and what she saw got to me her even more.
"You're a little witch you know" Syaoran said reaching for Sakura but she jumped back laughing.
"I know but you had better be careful before your back goes out" Sakura replied in a warning tone, she yelped when her feet caught on something making her lose her balance but Syaoran caught her before she fell.
"And you had better watched where your going" Syaoran said his face inched from hers, Sakura could only nod dumbly "What cat got your tongue?" he teased making her smile gulping at how close, they were at the moment.
"Don't count on it besides I think Chin is coming for you right now," Sakura stated watching the smile fade off Syaoran's face "Don't worry she's not melting like Mei Lin predicted" she said innocently making Syaoran laugh, a deep rumbling sound that came from deep within him and Sakura found her self melting.
"You and my sisters would get along nicely" he commented releasing her reluctantly, Sakura smiled brightly before running off the play with the kids pushing down the wild sensations in her body.
"Isn't she something special?" Eriol asked stopping beside Syaoran.
"She's a child I all ready have a child" Syaoran replied flatly pushing his hands into his pockets.
"No she's an unspoiled woman who has a love for life. She'll make one lucky man a perfect wife and will be the perfect mother seeing how she loves children. Maybe even Lin will like her too" Eriol stated smiling at Syaoran uneasiness, he knew that Syaoran was having problems placing Sakura like he would do any other female "Hitoshi can all ready see that and he's trying his best" he added walking off knowing that he made his point.
Later.
Mei Lin rounded up everyone when they played long enough outside, after showering she and Sakura and Tomoyo took to the kitchen to make dinner while the guys watched the kids. Mei Lin didn't bother asking Gwen to help for two reasons, she was still upset and Gwen couldn't cook even if her life depended on it. Sakura was a little rusty but after awhile it all came back to her.
"The weather should clear up tomorrow" Eriol said looking outside at the night sky only a few stars visible.
"Great the sooner we leave here the better" Renzo said playing a game with Tommy and Maria, everyone present knew what he meant.
"I've enjoyed my stay here but next time we should go out of the country to somewhere exotic where the party life is fabulous" Hitoshi said thoughtfully imagining all the places. "What do you think Li?" but before Syaoran could answer Sakura bounced in the room in an apron, she was wearing jeans suspenders and a white shirt like Maria.
"She's dressed like that so we don't lose her and men won't look at her" Eriol said meaningfully looking at Syaoran making Sakura, Hitoshi and Renzo laugh.
"She's adorable" Hitoshi said winking at Sakura who blushed her smile getting brighter.
"Dinner is served," Sakura, said looking at Maria "Right this way" everyone followed her to the dining room where the table was packed with food. "We kind of got carried away" Sakura said sheepishly when every one looked at her.
"Is it edible?" Syaoran asked playfully taking his seat, when a plate of dim sum caught his attention.
"Perfectly unless your afraid to take my word" Sakura challenged before heading to the kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Don't ya'll think is too much food?" Eriol asked when Tomoyo placed a bowl of vegetables on the table before she sat down with Mei Lin and Sakura.
"Nope" they all said together when everyone started to eat and through the whole meal there wasn't one complaint and little by little all the food disappeared.
"I guess all that running around outside has made everyone really hungry" Sakura commented laughing "Well at least we're having a feast before we leave"
"A feast fit for a king" Eriol stated proudly "I'm firing the cook when I get home" he declared smiling
"Me too" Renzo added making Mei Lin and Tomoyo gasp.
"No" they said together making Sakura and the guy's laugh.
"Why not dear?" Eriol asked smiling
"Because I won't have time everyday to cook and." she trailed off smiling no one knowing why she stopped talking. "Very well the cook is gone but he'll be out of a job" she agreed softly.
"Xiao Lang needs a cook" Renzo declared
"What makes you think I can't cook?" Syaoran asked resting back in his chair.
"You can cook? That's a good one" Sakura laughed but the look on Syaoran's face said other wise. "You can really cook?" she repeated not believing.
"Even a old bore like me must know how to do something, don't you agree?" he asked making Sakura flush. "Don't tell me your at a lost of words" he said urging her to reply, when Sakura said nothing he said "Come now child" that did it.
"I agree at least your good for something, I wish I had the years of practice you had" Sakura answered saying the first thing that popped into her mind, "But since as I was still in the cradle whilst' you were out on your own, I suppose I have an excuse, but don't worry when your too old to move I'll be more then happy to help you out Mr. Li"
"Ouch a feisty one aren't we" Syaoran mocked getting a glare from Sakura, which only made him smile.
"Have some of the dim sum I made it specially for you and make sure to eat all the greens it has all the right vitamins for someone your age" Sakura stated taking up her glass of wine.
"I think I will you know you shouldn't be drinking wine your far too young" Syaoran said helping himself to the vegetables, "Would you like me to crush some food for you?" he asked making everyone at the table laugh.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing we don't want your teeth falling out" Sakura replied making Syaoran grin showing his perfectly healthy teeth. "Are you sure they are yours?"
"Want to check?" he invited Sakura almost chocked hearing what he said, smiling she said.
"I wouldn't want to accidentally pull them out, I would scare the poor children" Sakura replied making them laugh.
"I wouldn't want to scare you" Syaoran stated getting a mock glare from Sakura everyone was thoroughly enjoying the conversation
"Gwen would know the answer to that" Hitoshi said smiling, Gwen returned the smile before she answered proudly.
"I assure you those are real, I've had many chances to prove it too" Sakura looked down at her plate as if to eat, Gwen smiled smugly inside. Everyone lapsed into silence hearing that and Syaoran wanted to take out Gwen and Hitoshi.
"You know Maria is going to start ballet with Lin when school opens" Tomoyo said proudly making Sakura smile.
"Really that's wonderful I'm sure Maria will be the perfect ballerina" Sakura prompted smiling.
"I know I told her that, but because Lin started last year she's afraid she won't be as good"
"You don't have to worry about that she has a year over you that's nothing to be sad about, maybe Lin can help you out so you can move up faster then the rest of the class" Sakura suggested confidently.
"I never see Lin unless we're at school" Maria replied Sakura didn't understand.
"Lin lives with Auntie Yelen, she doesn't live close to us so we can only visit Lin on the weekends when I have time" Mei Lin explained sadly.
"Oh I thought she lived with Xiao Lang" Sakura said softly not liking the way this conversation was going.
"Lin is a spoiled child one cannot handle her so she stays with her grandmother" Gwen explained angrily "When she came for a visit she broke everything in Xiao Lang's condo we had to have to whole place redone. She's a very trouble child"
"She wouldn't be soo if you'd stop yelling at her and Xiao Lang didn't neglect her. Lin is rude but she has her reasons, the only person who can handle her is Auntie Yelen I would be the same way if I was in her shoes" Mei Lin stated firmly "She needs love, I know she gets a lot of it from Auntie but she needs parental love and she never gets that, you didn't even show up for her fifth birthday"
"I was out of town I sent her gifts" Syaoran snapped angrily Mei Lin pushed her chair back pressing her palm against the table, he was angry with her for throwing this in his face and in front of Sakura.
"You sent her gifts?" Mei Lin spat "That's all you ever do is send her gifts, have you seen her room? It's loaded with dolls and stuffed animals. She has jewelry and things not even Tomoyo wants to buy her daughter until she's a lot older. You've given her everything but what she really needs. And don't lie you weren't out of town on business you were out of town with her" she yelled pointing at Gwen who didn't deny it. Sakura felt disgusted she knew what it felt like being neglected and it hurt a lot she couldn't even what this little girl was feeling, thinking about it brought back her own horrible memories.
"If you'll excuse me" Sakura whispered standing up, everyone barely heard what she said. Mei Lin and Tomoyo knew why she wanted to be excused and felt horrible.
"Ying Fa wait" Mei Lin called frowning "Renzo watch the kids" she added leaving with Tomoyo. Syaoran was angry with himself, with Gwen, and with Mei Lin for bringing up Lin he loved his daughter but didn't know how to be a caring father, so he did the other.
"Well wasn't that entertaining" Hitoshi said frowning, he wanted to know what was wrong with Ying Fa but Mei Lin wouldn't let him any where near her.
"Speak for yourself"
Next day..
Syaoran watched Sakura and Hitoshi ride to the stables before turning to help Renzo load the stuff into the Van. Gwen had stayed clear of them because Mei Lin was still sore about what happened the previous day. And Sakura hadn't spoken to him at all since them, it always seems that he was always the bad man.
"IT was great two weeks" Eriol said shaking his hand. "I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow"
"Yeah. Bye Hirragizawa, Sekigawa" Syaoran said shaking his hand.
"IT was a pleasure staying here and meeting you Xiao Lang," Sakura said shaking his hand, she didn't know what would happen when they left here, she still wasn't sure what she wanted to happen either. And Syaoran was feeling the same way about her, he knew now that she couldn't be his mistress, she was far too delicate for that and if that was so? Then what would she be to him.
"Me too, I'll see you at Mei Lin's night out" Syaoran said not letting go of her hand, he would decide all that when he saw her again, he was determined to have her one way or another.
"What makes you think I'll be there?" Sakura asked.
"Because I know you will and even if you aren't we have to be back here together in November for the girls birthday" Syaoran stated.
"And you would wait that long to see me?" Sakura asked lightheartedly, Syaoran shook his head.
"No I'll see you whenever I want, Miss Ying Fa" Syaoran answered smirking.
"Your too sure of yourself" Sakura chided walking away with a smile on her face. Syaoran waited until they were out of site before he walked back inside to get Gwen and leave this place.
When they got back to Hong Kong Sakura and the girls set out looking for an apartment for her, they still didn't get a reply from the school and Sakura was worried that she didn't get the job, when she finally moved into her apartment not far from the girls she got the phone call a week before school opened.
"Argh. this is too much, how am I suppose to finish everything I have to do for this apartment, buy proper clothing and plan for my classes. Plus I have to go to the school tomorrow for the tour and meet all the staff I don't even have anything to wear" Sakura freaked falling on her bed. "Hey this isn't so bad, it's actually comfortable" she calmed slowly.
"Sakura stop it, you know you have everything in order. The things we picked out of the magazine arrives tomorrow, I told you not to get a place you could have stayed with me for a while longer" Tomoyo stated sitting next to Sakura.
"No Tomoyo the whole idea was for me to build my life, I can't do that living under your roof" Sakura sighed looking at the ceiling, she hadn't seen Syaoran since they got back but he probably forgot about her after all he was the most wanted man in Hong Kong.
"Here you guys" Mei Lin said handing them sodas. "Listen what we all need is to go out and celebrate we can do it after your meeting tomorrow Sakura"
"Where are we going this time?" Sakura asked, she had practically seen every thing there was to see in all of Hong Kong.
"All of us, the guys too we can go to that club. Hitoshi can be your date Xiao Lang and Gwen is suppose to meet us there too" Mei Lin answered making Sakura and Tomoyo choke. "What?"
"I thought you hated her?" Sakura asked not believing her ears, and not believing she would be seeing him tomorrow.
"Oh please that was when I thought Xiao Lang might have married her but he promised he wouldn't and he never breaks is promises" Mei Lin stated smiling. "Plus he told me that he's going to end it"
"I see" Sakura whispered thinking about Syaoran which she did now and then, he was something special but she couldn't figure him out for the life of her.
"Well are you up for it Sakura? I am I haven't danced in ages" Tomoyo said smiling.
"Sure I need a life any ways I want you guys to wish my luck" Sakura said sitting up.
"Great.I have to get going, Eriol said he'd drop you at the school so be up on time, he has one of those meetings again" Tomoyo said standing up with Mei Lin.
"Okay, I'm really grateful, I'll get my car soon, I just have to get everything settled first"
"Good luck call me when its over and I'll come pick you up" Mei Lin said smiling "Our baby is growing up" she joked making them laugh.
"Funny I hope everything does go fine" Sakura said walking them to the door.
"IT will" Tomoyo said before she and Mei Lin left, Sakura closed the door and sighed looking at all her new furniture, the walls had paintings but it had nothing of her family all she had was a few pictures of Tomoyo and the others.
"It will have to do at least I can call this home" Sakura whispered looking around. "And I can build memories, I'll have forever to build them" she added walking to her room, where she would shower and go to bed.
The next morning.
Sakura got up and rushed trying to prepare for her self, the closer it got for Eriol to come for her the more nervous she got. When the doorbell rang she jumped and almost fell flat on her face from trying to walk to put on her heel at the same time.
"I'm coming" she yelled when it went off again. "I'm here Er. Io. L" she said looking at the person who was not Eriol at all, as her eyes trailed up the large frame that was now in cased in a coffee brown suit, but. "Syaoran what are you doing here?" she squeaked straightening her clothing. Syaoran looked at her dressed in a gray skirt suit with a pale pink shirt under it, her hair up in a bun.
"Good morning to you too, my aren't we grown up" he teased smirking "Can I come in or do I have to wait for you out here?" Syaoran said smirking when Sakura flushed.
"Oh yeah come in sorry" Sakura apologized closing the door behind her when he walked. "I'm ready I just have to get my purse, I was expecting Eriol you see. I know its around here somewhere you can help your self to coffee or tea or anything I have in the kitchen" Sakura said stumbling over her words as she looked for her purse. Syaoran stood at the door and smiled watching her look for it when she passed it earlier; his shoulders shook with laughter when she passed it again.
"Sakura" Syaoran said making her come to a halt, she looked at him blankly putting her glasses on.
"Yes?" she asked fidgeting.
"Look behind you" Syaoran said pointing passed her; she turned and saw her purse looking at her big and bold.
"Oh um lets go.I'm sorry I'm nervous and I don't know why" Sakura confessed laughing nervously, she felt like a total idiot.
"That's understandable just don't get nervous in front of your boss" Syaoran stated opening the door, she grabbed her keys and papers and walked out. "Sakura" he said making her turn around. "The keys" he said holding out his hands, Sakura handed him the keys feeling worst.
"This is going to be a really horrible day.

Author's note: Here's the next addiction and I hope it's to your liking LOL. Um thank you to all those who have reviewed and I will continue to the end. Enjoy..
"Wrong person, but if you wish it to be, I can get him for you" came Syaoran's masculine voice, on her neck, making Sakura shiver all over, she could feel the strength he possessed radiating from him, such masculine power.
"I just thought that you would be attending to Miss Chin, but I guess she isn't afraid of the dark," Sakura replied relaxing, she was fully aware of how close they were at the moment but it was dark and she didn't want to be by herself.
"And you are?" Syaoran asked leading to where, she guess was the way to the dining room, she was wrong.
"It's childish, but I've always been afraid of ghosts" Sakura confessed uneasily.
"Everyone's afraid of something," Syaoran said softly as they walked.
"What are you afraid of?" Sakura asked trying to clear her mind from worrying.
"Nothing." he answered letting go of her, she humph but didn't say anything else on the matter. Everyone was afraid of something, she knew, but for him to say he is a flat out lie.
"Wait where are you going?" she asked reaching for him, "Please don't leave me by my self"
"Fine I was just going to turn the fireplace on" Syaoran said taking hold of her hand making Sakura sigh, ignoring the sarcastic tone in his voice.
"So we're not in the dinning room?"
"NO we're in my office, Gwen and Hitoshi are staying put until I have this lighted" Syaoran answered when lightening flash outlining his body. "Sit here" he added moving her beside a chair. Sakura sat, without saying anything only hearing the movements of his footsteps. In a few minutes he had the fire going and Gwen and Hitoshi came in the room, while he was lighting the lamps. "We can each bring one upstairs and light the ones in our rooms, I'll go to the kids, and Hitoshi go to your brothers, Sakura to Tomoyo's and Gwen yours"
"Okay" they all said taking one Syaoran led the way up the stairs with Gwen at his side and Sakura and Hitoshi behind, something about the order they were in didn't seem right. Sakura listened quietly to the jabbering of Gwen who was talking and from the look on Syaoran's face he wasn't the least bit interested, and Sakura had to bit back a smile.
"I hope the lights go on soon" Sakura commented looking deep into the flame, so her eyes wouldn't wonder to his large frame or how his hands felt around her when he held her.
"Why do we have to bring lamps to them?" Gwen asked.
"Because no one in this house smokes except for you, the only time we smoke cigars is at parties" Syaoran answered when they reached the bed rooms, the doors were open with the guys holding lamps ready.
"SO nice of you" Eriol smiled when Sakura lighted his lamp, Sakura giggled doing a curtsy.
"Mi lord" she said looking over at Tomoyo who was sound asleep. "I take it you weren't asleep"
"No I was doing some work," Eriol answered smiling. "But I'm going to now"
"All right good night" Sakura said leaving to her room, but bumped into Syaoran who was coming out of the kids room. "Good night" she whispered smiling.
"Good night Sakura" Syaoran said softly moving out of her way, Sakura passed walking slowly to her room. Syaoran started down the hall when he heard her door click to make sure everything was locked up. "When your finish here make sure the back door is look," he said to Miss Aida who nodded before he left the kitchen. He placed the lamp on the fireplace in his room before going to shower; tomorrow he would be back to work.
Next morning.
Well it seem as if luck wasn't at all on their side because the power hadn't come back and it was still raining heavily. Mei Lin, wasn't so eager to leave that she would put her families and close friends life in danger just to get away from Gwen, but she would surely enjoy making her life a living hell.
"Where are you guys going?" Tomoyo asked looking at Syaoran, Eriol and Renzo dressed in raincoats.
"To get the generator going" Eriol answered opening the kitchen door "If we wash away don't come after us" he added making Tomoyo laugh before he and the others left. She grabbed the pots, spoons and anything she could be used to make music, before returning to the living room, where everyone was waiting for her.
Syaoran.
"Try now" he yelled, to Renzo who nodded and pulled the cord but it wasn't successful.
"This thing is ancient" Renzo said looking at the generator.
"I haven't used this place in a long time what'd you expect?" Syaoran snapped, he wasn't having a good time Mei Lin and mostly everyone was still in a bad mood, sometimes he left like wringing Gwen's neck for her stupidity. "Lets just try again"
"I'll pull" Eriol said getting in position while Syaoran repeated the steps when he pulled it started up making them sigh before going back inside. On there way back the sound of pots and pans banging together stop them.
"What the devil" Renzo said as they walked to the door of the living room a smile forming on all their faces well except for Syaoran. In the room were Sakura, Hitoshi, their wives and children having their own concert with the Tarzan song in the background that was coming to an end (The song is Trashing the camp for all those who watched it).
"Hey Ying Fa sing for us" Mei Lin shouted giving Sakura the wooden spoon for the mic.
"What do you want me to sing?" she asked giddily dancing to the music that was no longer playing.
"Anything" Tomoyo helped taping "Correction something appropriate" she corrected making everyone laugh including the guys at the door, but their presence still went unnoticed.
"What's going on down here?" Gwen asked but got her answer looking in the room she was going to walk inside, when Syaoran caught her by the arm pulling her back when Sakura spoke.
"Funny. lets see something for kids" Sakura said acting like she was in deep thought "Hah I got it"
"What is it?" Maria asked anxiously, Sakura smiled sweetly before she started to sing.
Sakura: I know I'm not the flower you see but what can I do you are a good- looking bee (Tomoyo and Mei Lin laughed recognizing the song.
Mei Lin and Tomoyo: Wham bam thank you ma'am
Sakura: Ohhhh bumble bee bump into me I'm in for abomination, bumble bee take what you see I am in need for your donation" all the guys watched as Sakura danced around with Danny Maria and Tommy dancing with Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Hitoshi. "I can't wait for your evasion"
Mei Lin: Be my love, cause I'm a single flower feeling free. blooming now take me honey be my favorite bee"
Tomoyo in a deep voice: hey rose I'm ready again I got my radar tune in on you baby" she went after Tommy making laugh and hide. "I'm all set and ready to land"
All: Bumblebee see bump into me.I am in for abomination, bumblebee take what you see I am in need for your donation. You don't need no invitation.
Tomoyo: Wham bam thank you ma'am, I'm going wham bam thank you ma'am
Sakura: All I know is you're my honey and I can't say no" Sakura turned around to see Syaoran and everyone watching them "Just a little bit shy I'm so excited when I see you fly." she trailed off seeing Syaoran with a amused smile on his face, she felt her face flush from embarrassment and had to look down not wanting to see the unfamiliar look in Syaoran's eyes.
Tomoyo: Hey rose I'm ready again I got my radar tuned in on you baby." she too trailed off noticing they had an audience.
"Well how long were all of you watching us?" Mei Lin asked smiling
"Long enough Bumblebee, some how Ying Fa I don't think that was appropriate" Renzo said making Sakura blush.
"It's the only one I could think of besides they don't know that" Sakura replied smiling
"I think your right by the way you have a beautiful voice, I've heard Tomoyo and Mei Lin sing but not you" Eriol said making Sakura flush again.
"I was just about to say the same thing" Hitoshi chipped in smiling "This is was somewhat as good as a night club I can feel the burn"
"And what would make it one?" Mei Lin asked eyeing him
"A good drink to cool off" Hitoshi answered ducking a cushion that came his way from Tomoyo who was laughing.
"Really well we can do that" Sakura stated laughing "Round up kids we're going to the kitchen for refreshments while your mothers clean this mess up"
"Hey that isn't fare" Mei Lin exclaimed placing her hands on her hips
"I know" Sakura replied giggling.
"You have until three" Mei Lin warned smirking. "One. Two." everyone screamed running of the run only leaving Syaoran, Eriol, Renzo, Gwen and her "Works every time" she laughed.
"Mei Lin your getting old" came Sakura's laughing voice "I can't even see you don't worry we'll wait for you"
"You'd better hide missy" Mei Lin shot back running after them.
"Well at least she's in a better mood" Eriol commented picking up the pans.
"And now we've have more children to worry about, I know that Lin would have liked Ying Fa" Renzo stated but Gwen snorted.
"That little brat doesn't like anyone" she said dryly walking over the mess to the sofa.
"That's not true she's a very well mannered girl, she and Maria gets along very well" Eriol objected looking at Syaoran but he didn't say anything. He didn't know his daughter since as she was always with his mother, sometimes Eriol wondered if he had a heart neglecting his own daughter, maybe if she had looked like her mother but that was the thing, she looked nothing like her mother, she looked exactly like Syaoran.
"Believe what you want I just want this weather to clear up" Gwen said looking out the window at the heavy rain.
"Since you got here it's been this way maybe when you leave it'll be sunny again" Renzo stated harshly, when they finished cleaning up the room.
"I think we're got rain dancers but instead their wishing the rain away" Eriol chuckled looking out the window at Sakura and everyone dancing around, Syaoran and the others walked to the window to look a the spectacle.
"They must be crazy, really grown adults acting like children" Gwen said disapprovingly when Sakura danced her way to the window unaware how her clothing stuck to her body outlining every curve.
"Come on out it'll cool you off, and it's fun don't be a bore" Sakura stated smiling "Come on guys don't let Hitoshi have all the fun" she added pointing at him while he danced around with Maria.
"Come on Eriol she's right and its not everyday we get a chance to dance in the rain" Renzo said heading the door.
"Aren't you coming?" Eriol asked looking at Syaoran who nodded 'no' "You don't know what your missing out on" he added leaving.
"Your not missing out on anything" Gwen assured hugging him from behind when Sakura looked directly at him before Hitoshi reached for her hand drawing her attention away. Syaoran could feel jealously rise inside him seeing that but there was nothing he could do about it.
"I highly doubt that" Syaoran said breaking free of her embrace.
"Why are you being so cold?"
"I was always this way" he replied sitting down away from the window
"I thought you would be glad to see me, even last night you had your door locked" she snapped pouting at him.
"You thought wrong." was he said resting his head against the chair when Sakura slipped into the room almost losing her balance. She ignored the look Gwen gave her and focused on Syaoran who was trying not to laugh.
"Go ahead I won't mind" Sakura snapped walking slowly towards him.
"Do what?" Syaoran asked innocently his eyes looking over her body slowly.
"Laugh I know you want to" Sakura answered placing her tiny hands on her hips with a frown on her beautiful face, that Syaoran couldn't help the smile that found its way on his face.
"My dear, all you are doing is getting the floor wet" Syaoran pointed Sakura looked behind her looking at the trail of water holding her hair she squeezed out the water out of her hair defiantly. "YOU brat" he half laughed, half growled getting up.
"What are you going to do about it?" Sakura asked taking a step back a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I was sent here to retrieve you since as this is suppose to be your vacation, but knowing the grown up adult you are and having fun is not in your vocabulary. I doubt you would want to" Syaoran raised a brow at her, but Sakura just continued "I mean, I understand if your old age permits you not to do anything active. We don't want your back going out or even worst you having a heart attack" Syaoran shoulder shook with laughter listening to her ploy, as she backed out the living room, into the front room towards the front door, that was open. "If that were to happen an ambulance couldn't get out here and then where would we be?" she continued innocently smiling.
"You are making me sound like a dead bore" Syaoran said mockingly, when Sakura reached the doors.
"Well isn't that what you are? Or was I terribly mistaken?" she asked ingenuously watching Mei Lin and Tomoyo sneaked up on Syaoran before he realized what they were going to do they dragged him out the door Mei Lin slamming it behind him then locking.
"You'd do anything to keep us apart" Came Gwen's voice from behind Mei Lin; Mei Lin turned and smiled sweetly.
"Xiao Lang knew we were behind him all the time, he was trained in martial arts all his life. My guess is that he wanted to go we just help him along, want to come out and play" Mei Lin asked nicely "Oh wait you might melt we can't have that now can we?" she laughed walking out the door not even bothering to close it. Gwen walked up and looked outside to see what was happening, her hatred to Mei Lin growing by the second and what she saw got to me her even more.
"You're a little witch you know" Syaoran said reaching for Sakura but she jumped back laughing.
"I know but you had better be careful before your back goes out" Sakura replied in a warning tone, she yelped when her feet caught on something making her lose her balance but Syaoran caught her before she fell.
"And you had better watched where your going" Syaoran said his face inched from hers, Sakura could only nod dumbly "What cat got your tongue?" he teased making her smile gulping at how close, they were at the moment.
"Don't count on it besides I think Chin is coming for you right now," Sakura stated watching the smile fade off Syaoran's face "Don't worry she's not melting like Mei Lin predicted" she said innocently making Syaoran laugh, a deep rumbling sound that came from deep within him and Sakura found her self melting.
"You and my sisters would get along nicely" he commented releasing her reluctantly, Sakura smiled brightly before running off the play with the kids pushing down the wild sensations in her body.
"Isn't she something special?" Eriol asked stopping beside Syaoran.
"She's a child I all ready have a child" Syaoran replied flatly pushing his hands into his pockets.
"No she's an unspoiled woman who has a love for life. She'll make one lucky man a perfect wife and will be the perfect mother seeing how she loves children. Maybe even Lin will like her too" Eriol stated smiling at Syaoran uneasiness, he knew that Syaoran was having problems placing Sakura like he would do any other female "Hitoshi can all ready see that and he's trying his best" he added walking off knowing that he made his point.
Later.
Mei Lin rounded up everyone when they played long enough outside, after showering she and Sakura and Tomoyo took to the kitchen to make dinner while the guys watched the kids. Mei Lin didn't bother asking Gwen to help for two reasons, she was still upset and Gwen couldn't cook even if her life depended on it. Sakura was a little rusty but after awhile it all came back to her.
"The weather should clear up tomorrow" Eriol said looking outside at the night sky only a few stars visible.
"Great the sooner we leave here the better" Renzo said playing a game with Tommy and Maria, everyone present knew what he meant.
"I've enjoyed my stay here but next time we should go out of the country to somewhere exotic where the party life is fabulous" Hitoshi said thoughtfully imagining all the places. "What do you think Li?" but before Syaoran could answer Sakura bounced in the room in an apron, she was wearing jeans suspenders and a white shirt like Maria.
"She's dressed like that so we don't lose her and men won't look at her" Eriol said meaningfully looking at Syaoran making Sakura, Hitoshi and Renzo laugh.
"She's adorable" Hitoshi said winking at Sakura who blushed her smile getting brighter.
"Dinner is served," Sakura, said looking at Maria "Right this way" everyone followed her to the dining room where the table was packed with food. "We kind of got carried away" Sakura said sheepishly when every one looked at her.
"Is it edible?" Syaoran asked playfully taking his seat, when a plate of dim sum caught his attention.
"Perfectly unless your afraid to take my word" Sakura challenged before heading to the kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Don't ya'll think is too much food?" Eriol asked when Tomoyo placed a bowl of vegetables on the table before she sat down with Mei Lin and Sakura.
"Nope" they all said together when everyone started to eat and through the whole meal there wasn't one complaint and little by little all the food disappeared.
"I guess all that running around outside has made everyone really hungry" Sakura commented laughing "Well at least we're having a feast before we leave"
"A feast fit for a king" Eriol stated proudly "I'm firing the cook when I get home" he declared smiling
"Me too" Renzo added making Mei Lin and Tomoyo gasp.
"No" they said together making Sakura and the guy's laugh.
"Why not dear?" Eriol asked smiling
"Because I won't have time everyday to cook and." she trailed off smiling no one knowing why she stopped talking. "Very well the cook is gone but he'll be out of a job" she agreed softly.
"Xiao Lang needs a cook" Renzo declared
"What makes you think I can't cook?" Syaoran asked resting back in his chair.
"You can cook? That's a good one" Sakura laughed but the look on Syaoran's face said other wise. "You can really cook?" she repeated not believing.
"Even a old bore like me must know how to do something, don't you agree?" he asked making Sakura flush. "Don't tell me your at a lost of words" he said urging her to reply, when Sakura said nothing he said "Come now child" that did it.
"I agree at least your good for something, I wish I had the years of practice you had" Sakura answered saying the first thing that popped into her mind, "But since as I was still in the cradle whilst' you were out on your own, I suppose I have an excuse, but don't worry when your too old to move I'll be more then happy to help you out Mr. Li"
"Ouch a feisty one aren't we" Syaoran mocked getting a glare from Sakura, which only made him smile.
"Have some of the dim sum I made it specially for you and make sure to eat all the greens it has all the right vitamins for someone your age" Sakura stated taking up her glass of wine.
"I think I will you know you shouldn't be drinking wine your far too young" Syaoran said helping himself to the vegetables, "Would you like me to crush some food for you?" he asked making everyone at the table laugh.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing we don't want your teeth falling out" Sakura replied making Syaoran grin showing his perfectly healthy teeth. "Are you sure they are yours?"
"Want to check?" he invited Sakura almost chocked hearing what he said, smiling she said.
"I wouldn't want to accidentally pull them out, I would scare the poor children" Sakura replied making them laugh.
"I wouldn't want to scare you" Syaoran stated getting a mock glare from Sakura everyone was thoroughly enjoying the conversation
"Gwen would know the answer to that" Hitoshi said smiling, Gwen returned the smile before she answered proudly.
"I assure you those are real, I've had many chances to prove it too" Sakura looked down at her plate as if to eat, Gwen smiled smugly inside. Everyone lapsed into silence hearing that and Syaoran wanted to take out Gwen and Hitoshi.
"You know Maria is going to start ballet with Lin when school opens" Tomoyo said proudly making Sakura smile.
"Really that's wonderful I'm sure Maria will be the perfect ballerina" Sakura prompted smiling.
"I know I told her that, but because Lin started last year she's afraid she won't be as good"
"You don't have to worry about that she has a year over you that's nothing to be sad about, maybe Lin can help you out so you can move up faster then the rest of the class" Sakura suggested confidently.
"I never see Lin unless we're at school" Maria replied Sakura didn't understand.
"Lin lives with Auntie Yelen, she doesn't live close to us so we can only visit Lin on the weekends when I have time" Mei Lin explained sadly.
"Oh I thought she lived with Xiao Lang" Sakura said softly not liking the way this conversation was going.
"Lin is a spoiled child one cannot handle her so she stays with her grandmother" Gwen explained angrily "When she came for a visit she broke everything in Xiao Lang's condo we had to have to whole place redone. She's a very trouble child"
"She wouldn't be soo if you'd stop yelling at her and Xiao Lang didn't neglect her. Lin is rude but she has her reasons, the only person who can handle her is Auntie Yelen I would be the same way if I was in her shoes" Mei Lin stated firmly "She needs love, I know she gets a lot of it from Auntie but she needs parental love and she never gets that, you didn't even show up for her fifth birthday"
"I was out of town I sent her gifts" Syaoran snapped angrily Mei Lin pushed her chair back pressing her palm against the table, he was angry with her for throwing this in his face and in front of Sakura.
"You sent her gifts?" Mei Lin spat "That's all you ever do is send her gifts, have you seen her room? It's loaded with dolls and stuffed animals. She has jewelry and things not even Tomoyo wants to buy her daughter until she's a lot older. You've given her everything but what she really needs. And don't lie you weren't out of town on business you were out of town with her" she yelled pointing at Gwen who didn't deny it. Sakura felt disgusted she knew what it felt like being neglected and it hurt a lot she couldn't even what this little girl was feeling, thinking about it brought back her own horrible memories.
"If you'll excuse me" Sakura whispered standing up, everyone barely heard what she said. Mei Lin and Tomoyo knew why she wanted to be excused and felt horrible.
"Ying Fa wait" Mei Lin called frowning "Renzo watch the kids" she added leaving with Tomoyo. Syaoran was angry with himself, with Gwen, and with Mei Lin for bringing up Lin he loved his daughter but didn't know how to be a caring father, so he did the other.
"Well wasn't that entertaining" Hitoshi said frowning, he wanted to know what was wrong with Ying Fa but Mei Lin wouldn't let him any where near her.
"Speak for yourself"
Next day..
Syaoran watched Sakura and Hitoshi ride to the stables before turning to help Renzo load the stuff into the Van. Gwen had stayed clear of them because Mei Lin was still sore about what happened the previous day. And Sakura hadn't spoken to him at all since them, it always seems that he was always the bad man.
"IT was great two weeks" Eriol said shaking his hand. "I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow"
"Yeah. Bye Hirragizawa, Sekigawa" Syaoran said shaking his hand.
"IT was a pleasure staying here and meeting you Xiao Lang," Sakura said shaking his hand, she didn't know what would happen when they left here, she still wasn't sure what she wanted to happen either. And Syaoran was feeling the same way about her, he knew now that she couldn't be his mistress, she was far too delicate for that and if that was so? Then what would she be to him.
"Me too, I'll see you at Mei Lin's night out" Syaoran said not letting go of her hand, he would decide all that when he saw her again, he was determined to have her one way or another.
"What makes you think I'll be there?" Sakura asked.
"Because I know you will and even if you aren't we have to be back here together in November for the girls birthday" Syaoran stated.
"And you would wait that long to see me?" Sakura asked lightheartedly, Syaoran shook his head.
"No I'll see you whenever I want, Miss Ying Fa" Syaoran answered smirking.
"Your too sure of yourself" Sakura chided walking away with a smile on her face. Syaoran waited until they were out of site before he walked back inside to get Gwen and leave this place.
When they got back to Hong Kong Sakura and the girls set out looking for an apartment for her, they still didn't get a reply from the school and Sakura was worried that she didn't get the job, when she finally moved into her apartment not far from the girls she got the phone call a week before school opened.
"Argh. this is too much, how am I suppose to finish everything I have to do for this apartment, buy proper clothing and plan for my classes. Plus I have to go to the school tomorrow for the tour and meet all the staff I don't even have anything to wear" Sakura freaked falling on her bed. "Hey this isn't so bad, it's actually comfortable" she calmed slowly.
"Sakura stop it, you know you have everything in order. The things we picked out of the magazine arrives tomorrow, I told you not to get a place you could have stayed with me for a while longer" Tomoyo stated sitting next to Sakura.
"No Tomoyo the whole idea was for me to build my life, I can't do that living under your roof" Sakura sighed looking at the ceiling, she hadn't seen Syaoran since they got back but he probably forgot about her after all he was the most wanted man in Hong Kong.
"Here you guys" Mei Lin said handing them sodas. "Listen what we all need is to go out and celebrate we can do it after your meeting tomorrow Sakura"
"Where are we going this time?" Sakura asked, she had practically seen every thing there was to see in all of Hong Kong.
"All of us, the guys too we can go to that club. Hitoshi can be your date Xiao Lang and Gwen is suppose to meet us there too" Mei Lin answered making Sakura and Tomoyo choke. "What?"
"I thought you hated her?" Sakura asked not believing her ears, and not believing she would be seeing him tomorrow.
"Oh please that was when I thought Xiao Lang might have married her but he promised he wouldn't and he never breaks is promises" Mei Lin stated smiling. "Plus he told me that he's going to end it"
"I see" Sakura whispered thinking about Syaoran which she did now and then, he was something special but she couldn't figure him out for the life of her.
"Well are you up for it Sakura? I am I haven't danced in ages" Tomoyo said smiling.
"Sure I need a life any ways I want you guys to wish my luck" Sakura said sitting up.
"Great.I have to get going, Eriol said he'd drop you at the school so be up on time, he has one of those meetings again" Tomoyo said standing up with Mei Lin.
"Okay, I'm really grateful, I'll get my car soon, I just have to get everything settled first"
"Good luck call me when its over and I'll come pick you up" Mei Lin said smiling "Our baby is growing up" she joked making them laugh.
"Funny I hope everything does go fine" Sakura said walking them to the door.
"IT will" Tomoyo said before she and Mei Lin left, Sakura closed the door and sighed looking at all her new furniture, the walls had paintings but it had nothing of her family all she had was a few pictures of Tomoyo and the others.
"It will have to do at least I can call this home" Sakura whispered looking around. "And I can build memories, I'll have forever to build them" she added walking to her room, where she would shower and go to bed.
The next morning.
Sakura got up and rushed trying to prepare for her self, the closer it got for Eriol to come for her the more nervous she got. When the doorbell rang she jumped and almost fell flat on her face from trying to walk to put on her heel at the same time.
"I'm coming" she yelled when it went off again. "I'm here Er. Io. L" she said looking at the person who was not Eriol at all, as her eyes trailed up the large frame that was now in cased in a coffee brown suit, but. "Syaoran what are you doing here?" she squeaked straightening her clothing. Syaoran looked at her dressed in a gray skirt suit with a pale pink shirt under it, her hair up in a bun.
"Good morning to you too, my aren't we grown up" he teased smirking "Can I come in or do I have to wait for you out here?" Syaoran said smirking when Sakura flushed.
"Oh yeah come in sorry" Sakura apologized closing the door behind her when he walked. "I'm ready I just have to get my purse, I was expecting Eriol you see. I know its around here somewhere you can help your self to coffee or tea or anything I have in the kitchen" Sakura said stumbling over her words as she looked for her purse. Syaoran stood at the door and smiled watching her look for it when she passed it earlier; his shoulders shook with laughter when she passed it again.
"Sakura" Syaoran said making her come to a halt, she looked at him blankly putting her glasses on.
"Yes?" she asked fidgeting.
"Look behind you" Syaoran said pointing passed her; she turned and saw her purse looking at her big and bold.
"Oh um lets go.I'm sorry I'm nervous and I don't know why" Sakura confessed laughing nervously, she felt like a total idiot.
"That's understandable just don't get nervous in front of your boss" Syaoran stated opening the door, she grabbed her keys and papers and walked out. "Sakura" he said making her turn around. "The keys" he said holding out his hands, Sakura handed him the keys feeling worst.
"This is going to be a really horrible day.
