AN: Sorry… I forgot to write down the names of those who reviewed but anyways… thank you very much. It means a lot to me. To answer some question: Syaoran doesn't know who Sakura is. It's their first time meeting on the beach but it was a bit of a disaster. Hope you enjoy this chapter too.

Chapter 2: What Do You Think You're Doing
"Sakura… Sakura… Sakura…" Touya yelled shaking Sakura hard on her shoulders at the same time holding back tears that threatened to fall. "Tomoyo, call father now." He said to Tomoyo who hurriedly dialed Fujitaka's cell number.
The man with amber eyes just stared at the scene that unfold before him. He hadn't expected that on his first day of work someone would die. He hadn't dream of this to happen. He only wanted something exciting to happen and not something as someone drowning and he can't do anything about it. Oh God… what have I wished for? He watched as the man who pushed him away shook the girl. I supposed he's the brother of the girl…Then he noticed the girl choking for breath.
Cough… cough… cough… "Oni… oniichan." The girl stammered. He observed that she has the most unique eyes he'd ever seen… emerald orbs… He was brought back to the present by the slight tap on his shoulder by his friend, Eriol.
"Nice job. You did well in saving her life." His friend praised him. He noted the change of mood on his surroundings. The people around him felt relief when the girl had spoke even though they didn't know her. He too was glad that the girl was alive. He has never been this proud of himself in his entire life. He had done his job well, better than he had expected. Thank God.
"Kaiju…" He stumbled. He hugged her sister tightly. "You scare the living hell out of me!"
"Ahm… oniichan… I can'… can't breath." Sakura stuttered, sweat-dropping by the show of affection her brother was displaying. Her brother slowly loosened his hug. She looked questioningly to her brother. "Are you the one that rescued me?" She knows it was a silly question to ask at a time like this…when she had almost drowned or even close to dieing. But… what can she do? She's as curious as a cat. The last thing she remembered before she sank was that she was enveloped in strong arms of a man that saved her. She felt safe… protected… secured… in those arms.
Her thoughts were cut off by the sound of her friend's voice. "Sakura… Sakura." Her friend uttered. "I thought… I thought we had almost lost you." She said, holding Sakura's hands in her. She can't believe that her friend was near to dieing. She can't forgive herself for leaving her friend in the beach with her knowing that her friend can't swim. She's alive. She beamed with joy but felt a bit guilty for what she had done earlier.
Sakura saw the look on her friend's eyes… guilt. "Tomoyo-chan… I'm ok. You don't have to worry." She reassured her friend. Tomoyo smiled a little with the news that Sakura was all right. But I kinda… feel dizzy... Must be the weather… Sakura fainted.
"Sakura… Sakura…" Her brother called in panic. What happened to her? I thought she said she was fine.
"Maybe she only needs rest. It's been one of a hectic day for her." Tomoyo stated calmly to Touya who just nodded his head in agreement. "But…"
"But what?" Touya questioned, urging Tomoyo to continue whatever was on her mind.
"But where should she rest? The hotel is a half an hour away from here and I think she needs a lot of rest for awhile."
"Why don't you stay in my cousin's house for awhile?" A man with glasses chirped in from nowhere. "I'm sure my cousin wouldn't mind, right?" Looking at his cousin at his side. He's cousin doesn't seem to mind.
Tomoyo and Touya followed the man's gaze and their gazes landed on the man with amber eyes that rescued Sakura from drowning.
"That GAKI!!!" Touya said hysterically. "You must be JOKING! I wouldn't allow my sister near… near that GAKI!" Pointing at Syaoran.
"You must understand Touya, Sakura needs rest. I know that you'll do anything for her if you know that it's best for her, ne?" Tomoyo urged Touya to accept the offer of the man with the glasses.
"What about father? Wouldn't we meet him here?"
"We could always split up. I'll accompany Sakura and you wait for him here. Wouldn't that be less of a hassle?" Touya is as stubborn as usual.
Touya nodded his head in agreement, preparing to get up but not before glaring at Syaoran's direction. "Touch her or you'll DIE." He threatened.
"Touya…" Tomoyo warned. And as protective as always of his little sister.
"Ok, ok… be careful, alright?"
"Hai… I'll make sure that Sakura would be fine. Just call my cell when Uncle Fujitaka arrives, ne?"
Syaoran wrapped Sakura in a towel and prepared himself to carry her in his arms but a sharp look stop him in his tracks. If looks can kill, he was so sure that he was death by now. But fortunately for him, the girl's friend seems to be on his side.
"Touya… Sakura needs rest so please stay calm. As long as I am here, I won't ANYONE do something bad to her." She calmed her cousin.
"Ok… but watch out for that GAKI for ME. I don't trust HIM." He whispered to Tomoyo's ear. She nodded.
As Syaoran attempted again to carry Sakura in his arms, he felt that her temperature was flaring hot. She's got a fever. He noticed also that she was shivering so he wrapped his arms to her more protectively to give of some of his warm to her. She cuddled closer to him.
This didn't go unnoticed by Sakura's brother, Touya. He was preparing to attack the man that has his arms tightly around her sister but thought again. Had to think of her safety. Had to think of her safety. So he left his first thought for later that day to put in to action. He'd better be ready if he saw her touching or hugging her sister again, he'll be dead meat. He promised to himself. "What's your name GAKI?" He asked rather rudely.
"Syaoran, Syaoran Li."
