The First Spark
Sakura was looking at the mirror satisfied with what she saw . Even someone as prune as Yue would not be able to ignore her body in a dress like this.
"I wonder what Yue would think of me in this dress," she ask, more to herself than to her friend.
Tomoyo's head lift up and gave her an uncanny look. "Yue! why Yue?"
She giggle "Nothings. it just that he is so old fashioned, so strict and cold. "
"I think you better not antagonize him" Tomoyo said
"why?" Sakura ask eyeing Tomoyo suspiciously
"It's nothing, really. I just remember something my mom told me"
"Tell me!"
Tomoyo picked up brushed and brushed her long black hair on the mirror. "I told you its nothing "
"If it's about me, it's not nothing. It is about me isn't it?"
Tomoyo began applying some powder on her face. "I think you should do your best not to antagonize Yue, while your father is in another country. Yue thinks Mr. Fujitaka spoils you terribly, and I don't think he will be that understanding if he caught you sneaking behind his back"
"Did he say that?" Sakura ask
"Not exactly"
"And what did he say?"
Tomoyo took a deep breath then answered "He said if you were under his care and you tried to get away with some of the tricks you pulled on your father, he wouldn't hesitate to punish you."
"he can't do that. I am no longer a child" Sakura said indignantly
Sakura's face paled and her eyes grew wide and round. He wouldn't dare! No one had ever did that to her, not even her dad, who simply yelled a lot and thought he was being firm with her, in reality, he was the one bending to her will. But, Yue. the mere idea was too horrible to contemplate! Her bottom lip turned out in a pout. "The old goat have to catch me first," she said sulkily
"Yue is not an old goat" Tomoyo said quietly "I think he is rather handsome"
Her mouth dropping open, Sakura twisted around her chair. "You think he is handsome!?" she ask a look of pure disbelief on her face. She had known Yue almost all her life and she certainly did not think him handsome. To her he was so prune and cold to be considered handsome. And he scowled too much.
"Tomoyo are you blushing? You are! Oh my gosh, I cant believe this. you had a crush on Yue and you never told me"
"Sakura."
"Does he know?"
"No he doesn't " Tomoyo answered
"what did you see in him?" Sakura ask, still surprise
"Things other female see" Tomoyo answered "come on Sakura, don't tell me you don't know that almost every female in this neighborhood, would love to be in his Fiancée's shoes"
"why would they want to be in his fiancée's shoes?"
"Duh!!" Tomoyo said looking at her like she said something stupid "he is sinfully handsome, intelligent, sexy.he is so cool"
"cold seems to be the apt description" Sakura said "he doesn't even know how to smile"
"I don't what's in you Sakura" Tomoyo said "but I would gladly exchange my place with you. it would be wonderful to have a man like that protecting you"
"He is all yours." she said, however she had a feeling she doesn't mean it.
Li decided to come out the party to get some fresh air. He didn't want to attend this party. he hates it actually but Sakura told him to meet her here. So he accepted the invitation. He had waited for her for almost an hour and he is losing his patience.
Someone touched him from behind, causing his heart to beat faster, and two cold little hands slid over his eyes, blinding him. "Guess who?"
"Damn it, Sakura" he swore, seizing her wrist and whirling around to face her "what took you so long to arrived here?"
She blinked and took a step away from him, hurt reflected in her eyes as she stared up at his boyishly handsome face. "I-I only wanted to surprise you," she stammered, trying hard to keep her teeth from chattering. The temperature had dropped drastically when the sun falls down . now she's begging to regret the dress she choose. What good was it to tease Li with a peek at breast covered with unsightly gooseflesh?
"Oh honey." Li reached out and pulled her to him "you did surprise me. You scared the daylights out of me. I am sorry I snapped at you." He held her close and buried his face in her sweetly scented hair for a moment before taking her by the shoulder and holding her away from him.
"You'll catch cold dressed like that. " His mouth thinned his gaze dropped to her innocently almost exposed bosom, Sakura wished that the ground would open and swallow her. You were supposed to me impressed, she thought.
"I... I don't know its going to be this c-cold," she stammered, wishing he could hold her again. At least in his arms it was warm.
"Come let's get inside the party"
"No" Sakura blurted out, giving him a petulant look. "I don't wanna go inside the party. I just wanna be with you.I just wanted you to hold me in your arms and tell me if you still love me"
Li broke into a cold sweat. What was Sakura trying to do to him? It had always taken all the willpower he could master to keep his hands off her. If Mr. Fujitaka found out that he dared to touch his daughter, his father would be in a big mess. Still maybe tonight she would let him kiss her. She had certainly held out on him long enough. After all everybody expects them to be married it was only a matter of time. Just one little kiss.. .Taking her by the arm he guides her towards a shadowed covered tree.
"where are we going?" she asked breathlessly, her pulse racing. Was he going to try to kiss her "Li it's so dark here!"
Before she could say anything , he pulled her into his arms, crushing her breast against his chest and lowered his face to hers.
Sakura suddenly felt afraid, turning her head to one side to dodge his mouth, but when she tried to push him away, he held her tightly. His hands going all over her back her buttocks.
"Li. what are you doing? Please stop!'
"Don't be such a weenie, Sakura," he said "all I want is a kiss, just one little kiss. That's why you wore that dress isn't it? For me ?To show me how grown up you are? You do want me to kiss you don't you?"
"No! I mean yes. But not like-"
Forcing her head back, Li covers her mouth with his, cutting her sentence. Her body went rigid as she felt the pressure of his mouth on her, feeling her with unexpected revulsion. The kiss is hot and wet and demanding and not at all pleasant and when Li forced his tongue between her teeth , Sakura almost throw up. He slid one had between them trying to squeeze her breast.
"Li, no!" she cried out and drew her lips away from his . He immediately twisted her face back to him, cutting her protest with his mouth.
Yue's voice cut through the nigh like a thunder "Li Syaoran!" Hearing that voice is like having a cold bucket of water being poured on him. Li quickly release Sakura, she nearly fell on the ground.
"Sir," Li said , his breath coming in short burst as he realized the consequences of what he just did. He is definitely busted. if his father hears about this he'll be in a deep mess, but if Mr. Yue decided to tell it to Mr. Fujitaka, then his father's career is over. so is his extravagant life.
Yue emerged on the shadow "Don't you think, its bad for a boy like you to stay out in the street at this late hour. do you like me to call your father and fetch you here."
"No sir. I .. I was just going home. No need to call my dad" then run off towards his car without even glancing back at Sakura, who just stood there with a weary look on her face as she gingerly touch her swollen and bruised lips. Chicken, she thought angrily, watching Li's departing car.
Then her attention went to Yue as he walks towards her, his face dark and foreboding. Sakura felt herself grew panicky and stepped away from him. "what are you going to do to me?"
"Not what I'd like to do, believe me," he said angrily, his fingers gripping her upper arm.
"Come on I am taking you home" pulling her along with him.
"Let me go!" she cried, trying to break free. But his hold on her tightened even more. Angry by his harsh treatment , she dug her heels into the ground. Bringing them both to an abrupt halt. "If you don't let me go, I'll scream rape and murder here and I don't care who hears me"
"Well maybe you should care, little one" he said, his voice soft and menacing "Did you ever stop to think of what it would do to your father, a respected businessman, knowing that his only daughter partying at the middle of the night, meeting her boyfriend in the dark , dressed like a whore and behaving like one too?"
"I never-"
He silence her with a cold stare "Your lucky I came at the right time. Another minute and your beloved Li would have you on the ground with your wimpy skirt up and underwear down, and there's nobody in this place whose going to blamed him for trying to take what you have been offering to him under his nose"
Sakura tried to open her mouth to protest, but he cut her again. "The party's over little one. This afternoon when your father left you. he told me to do whatever is necessary to keep you out of trouble. And I will do just what he said. From now on you will do what ever I say. Do I make myself clear?"
Color flooded Sakura's cheeks as she remembered what Tomoyo has said. that Yue would punish her in that way. and her emerald eyes started to filled with tears of humiliation as they locked with Yue' s furious ones in an silent combat. A painful lump rose at her throat. Tomoyo is wrong . He is not handsome at all. He was a mean, horrible man and she didn't know why her father put her under his care.
Yue's jaw tense "Answer me Sakura" he commanded, holding her shoulder shaking her "Do you understand what I am telling you?"
Swallowing hard, she nodded.
Yue's eyes dropped slightly , and for the first time he became aware that the way he held her was pushing her shoulders together and causing the front of her dress to gape dangerously giving him a clear view of her bosom. Controlling his anger, he let go of her shoulder. "I am taking you home" he said , taking hold of her chin with one hand and forcing her to look at him. "If you gave me one more trouble. rest assured .. you will be punish"
Sakura had this urge to slap him. But she controlled herself. Knowing it won't do any good. When they reach his car he unceremoniously pushed her inside.
On their way home. Sakura wanted nothing more but to cry. All her plans had gone wrong. Her first kissed had been a total disaster, she was not even sure she wanted to see him again.. remembering the way he had run like a coward when he saw Yue. And now she had nothing to look forward to but an entire month of having to answer to Yue, who treats her like a brat rather than the only daughter of his employer. He even called her a whore.she the owners daughter. he have no right to treat her like this.
When they reach her the house . Yue stop the car and roughly pulled her outside. "Move" he ordered , nearly shoving her inside the house. "if you ever go out again wearing a dress like that, you had better be prepared to pay for the consequences. The next time, little one, you might not be so lucky"
Before Sakura could say anything, the door slammed behind him. Her hands knotted into a fist "You just wait Yue!" he shouted at the close door "I'll make you sorry you were mean to me"
Her threats met with silence . A terrible, echoing, aching silence. It reminded her that she was very much alone in the big empty house. The helpers are already in their quarters, and its still a long night. Angry tears filled her eyes. She hated being alone. She just hated it! Pressing her hands over her ears to shutout the awful stillness, Sakura turned and fled to her room.
She flung herself across the bed. It wasn't fair!. Her father has no right to go away and leave her with this sadistic man. And that what he is. how can her father trust his only daughter to this man who doesn't even know who his parent are.a nomad. how can he trust his whole business in Tokyo in this freak of a man.. who done nothing but beg when he's just a boy. he didn't even go to school!. They said they got him from a garbage dump bloodied and bruised. Why didn't they just let him die?!. Yue is mean, prune and she hated him with all her heart.
But the sensible part of her know that he is right.
She should not have met Li, and wear that kind of dress. But she really wanted to see him. And she wanted him to take her in his arms and kiss her, tenderly and gently , like lovers were supposed to kiss. Yet he had betrayed her! He had taken advantage of her . If Yue didn't follow her there . She wouldn't know what had happened to her tonight! Yue's harsh words returned to taunt her. "Another minute and your beloved Li, would have had you on the ground with your skirts up and underwear down. And theres no one who will blame him for trying to take what you have been offering for him under his nose."
Sakura seized her pillow and pulled it over her head , but even that failed to shut out the sound of Yue's voice.
"Next time, little one."
