Disclaimer: Okay I shall say this right here and now-I do not own any of the CCS chara's CLAMP © are the wonderful people that do :D

A/N: May I also add, to make this story I think it best if there are times when POV's are changed from Syaoran to Sakura, so take heed to that. Cause I may need to do that. It'll just make the perspective's more interesting to readers :) And thank you to the people whom did review! Also note I like writing my stories for when people speak with this ', and in this case is used as speech not thought kay? I just feel more comfortable writing with that instead :D Well here is the next chapter! =) R+R will be appreciated!

Chapter three-His heart is cold.

~Syaoran's POV~

Syaoran said nothing during the ride home. He was very mad at the whole ordeal of that girl entering his household. When the car pulled up in the driveway he instantly hopped out of the car first and quickly made his way inside. Wei opened the door allowing Sakura and Meiling to get out. Sakura marveled at the wonderful sight of the house Meiling and Syaoran lived in. it was a two-story house with a nice garden at the front full of peony flowers and Cherry Blossom's too. And the shrubbery was well landscaped. Meiling took Sakura's hand and lead her inside the house. Sakura loved the way their house was furnished they had such exquisite taste in furniture and the color schemes for the house were nice.

~Sakura's POV~

'Here come meet my Auntie Yelan, she should be in the kitchen I think.' Meiling lead her around the house.

Sakura smiled as a woman with black hair worn half down and half up smiled back at her.

'Ah you must be the one?' she mused thoughtfully.

Sakura nodded, understanding what the lady meant by "one".

'Yes I am.' she smiled warmly.

'You don't know how great full I am. Thank you so much for helping.'

Sakura bowed courteously. 'Your welcome. Now shall I attempt to talk with him?'

Yelan nodded. 'He's outside.'

'I'll show you how to get outside then,' Meiling once more grabbed her hand and then made their way around the inside of the house until they came to a door. Which Sakura thought could only lead to outside. 'Good luck Sakura.' She smiled encouragingly.

Sakura took a deep breath, and then turned the doorknob, which would lead her to their backyard.

~Syaoran's POV~

Syaoran was lying on the grass outside. The wind blowing through his hair, made his body temperature feel cooler. He felt.mad at himself. He had shown a sign of weakness today.to that girl.why? What made him do as she had said? He hated everything about her! She was just another useless silly girl that went to his school. But what bothered him most now was that she was at his place; becoming friendly with Meiling! He sighed, wondering what to do.today would make a great entry to his journal. something snapped him out of his thoughts as he heard approaching foot steps from behind him. He turned around to see none other then that girl heading towards him.

'What do you want Kinomoto?' he snapped immediately.

'Oh.I just wanted to say hello.' she smiled, the sun reflecting off of her auburn hair making it glisten.

'Well good bye.' He said sternly.

'No need to be rude you know? Why are you so rude to me? What have I done wrong to you?' she asked sitting down on the grass next to him.

He shifted backwards edging away from her slightly. 'You want to know? You mock me! You think it's a big game trying to make me look like the fool at school!'

'I do not!' she protested. 'Oh sorry-I did not mean to lose my temper like that. Look I do not mean to do that at all I mean it. I just can't stand seeing you push people around like that! It's not right!'

'Well they should stop pissing me off and learn to leave me alone!' he picked up a nearby twig and snapped it between his fingers.

Sakura sighed. 'No one is trying to "annoy" you,' she said putting his words in nicer context, 'you just make a big deal out of things. People make mistakes, you can't just cause a scene every time something doesn't go your way.'

Somehow those words sinked in to him slightly. But he shook them off without another trace of thought. 'Look leave me alone!' he heaved himself off of the ground and stormed back inside. It was time for another entry to his journal.

~Sakura's POV~

Sakura walked back into the kitchen area, to find Meiling and Yelan seated there.

'How did it go?' Meiling asked.

Sakura stared at her.

Yelan spoke then breaking the silence. 'Meiling, how can you expect things to work out just like that? These things take time.time heals old wounds.so I assume he was cold towards you?' she gave Sakura a quizzical look. Sakura nodded in unison. She took a seat at the kitchen table also.

'I tried to talk with him, but he refused too.look we have to do something quickly. Figure something out that may make him become my friend and become heart warming.' Sakura trailed off.

Yelan thought for a second. 'Well Sakura-chan, you let me think of something.you are right we need some sort of setting or activity for you two to get involved in. something like team work? For now try your best to talk with him, while I devise a plan.' Yelan gave her niece a curious look.

~Syaoran's POV~

Syaoran was once again scribbling down his affairs for the day in his journal.

Dear Journal,

Yet another frustrating day it was. That girl Kinomoto is such a pain! I think she is out to make me look bad in front of people at school. I mean today I was setting some stupid boy straight and then she comes along and scolds me! Who does she think she is? The way she spoke to me, the way she.looked at me.argh! It's disturbing! She had some sort of power over me I am sure, as I let the boy go.there is something about this girl that maybe more than the eye can see? Or maybe there is the clue? The eye can see? Argh-I am becoming agitated with this crap! Mother makes my life miserable enough as it is, and now I have some girl telling me what to do at school! Now she is even at my own house, damn Meiling bringing her here. I think she is purposely befriending the girl to annoy me.it doesn't seem right to have that girl all of a sudden becoming an acquaintance to Meiling- not at all.and Kinomoto had the nerve to come and bother me outside and say "hello". Hello? What does this girl want? Is she getting a kick out of messing with me? --

Right then there was a knock on his door, which interrupted his writing in his book. He glared waiting for the door to open. 'What do you want?' he bellowed. The door opened and Sakura was there-yet again.

Sakura glanced over at his desk to see a diary or some sort of book lying open. She gave him a weird stare. He noticed this and immediately shut it closed.

'Sorry to disturb you Li-but I was wondering if you could maybe show me around your garden or something? Since Meiling was telling me how you spend a lot of time outside and seem to be an expert about certain things like that.' she said avoiding his piercing amber eyes. She stared down at the floor waiting for his answer.

He closed his drawer and stared at her. She wanted him to show her around? She just practically barges into his room, and interrupted his journal entry! 'Why should I? You interrupted me you know!'

'I-I'm sorry.please will you show me? I'm quite interested in flowers and fauna.' She beamed. Something about her smile made him give in slightly.

'Fine!' he snapped, 'but only if you'll leave me alone afterwards! I need to be alone sometimes you know!' he got up off his chair and indicated for Sakura to leave his room. She did so and he followed her out.

'Thank you Li.' She murmured.

He sighed leading her to the backyard. 'Okay what do you want to know?' he said in a bored tone.

'Just take me kind of like on a tour or something?' she giggled. 'Your garden is huge, reminds me of a fairy take sort of garden.'

He couldn't believe he was doing this! Why show this girl stupid flowers? Now look what he had gotten himself into.

'Okay follow me then,' he said hastily. Sakura followed the quick and impatient Syaoran around the garden. Truly anyone that saw the Li's garden would be breathless. It was indeed very beautiful. You may of thought the front yard was great, but the backyard.well it gave you a feeling of being in a jungle of some sort. There were many trees to provide shade around the backyard, more peony trees, and of course Sakura trees too. There were ferns galore too, and back a little further on was a tiny little fishpond. Well it had a nice fountain and contained a fishpond with many exotic looking fish in it. Sakura was absolutely delighted by all the wonderful things in the garden.

'Wow Li you have such a beautiful garden!' she squealed in delight.

'Can I go now?' he said feeling extremely bored. 'You've seen and I've seen so what more is there to do?'

Sakura giggled. 'Li-you've got to learn to be more patient. So what if you've seen it many times, does it not feel enchanting to you?'

He wore a bemused look on his face. Sakura giggled at him again. No matter how much Syaoran hated to think this, there was no denying it-she was very attractive. But he did not care he still disliked her. Syaoran looked up into the endless circle of trees hovering above him; the shade cascading shadows over his face now. He sighed and took it all in. He did feel at peace in the garden. Maybe that was why he spent so much time out here when he felt stressed? He listened to the sounds of chirping birds that had made a home amongst the many trees in his backyard. A small smile appeared on his face. Sakura noticed this. Did he look happy? Syaoran opened his eyes quickly noticing her staring at him. He once again wore his serious face.

'You like gardens?' he asked.

Sakura nodded shyly. 'Oh yes, we have one at home but I must say, yours is beyond breath taking compared to ours.' She smiled cheerily. 'You like them too I see.I saw how you looked a minute ago. You actually looked content out here.'

'I did not!' he pouted. 'It's just nice and peaceful out here that is all. So what if I like to escape from the house and spend a bit of time out here?'

'Okay, okay Li. No need to go into full detail about why you cannot show your emotions.' she paused, 'oh may I ask-can I please pick a Cherry Blossom petal from your tree? I have never seen quite lovely blossoms as yours.'

'What?' he asked. 'Oh.whatever.I'm going inside now! If you wish come along too I guess.' he sighed.

'I will hang on-' she picked a petal off the Cherry Blossom tree and then made her way inside with him.

~Sakura's POV~

Syaoran had gone into the living room to sit in front of the fire as usual while Sakura was upstairs in Meiling's room having a discussion.

'Sakura-chan-I think this may really work. I mean come on! You made him take you out into the garden! He never does what people ask him to do- he does what he wants! Wow this is so amazing!' she giggled happily.

'You think so? I just think that it's a matter of getting to understand what he wants and what he doesn't.he seemed to express himself in the gardens as content. I mean seeing him all the time, he is usually not happy- but down there he looked okay you know?' Sakura leant against Meiling's bed.

'Well whenever Auntie or I ask to do something with him, he always shuns us away.quite hurtful you know.I really can't understand why he has gotten like this though. He was okay before-well not as arrogant as he is now.' She sighed, 'well I think you are making really good progress with him Sakura.'

'Thanks.but I am sure that all that it'll take is time and effort to get to know him and his ways-then I might be able to talk with him more.he's still very biased and I sense his heart is cold.'

'Hmm.' was all Meiling could answer too.

~Syaoran's POV~

I was interrupted before by none other then "her". Yes her. She wanted me to show her around the garden outside. I was annoyed by her already enough- so I thought if I just did this one thing maybe then she'll stop bothering me? Well I took her outside and showed her around.but the worst part is I smiled! Why? I think I was just happy to be outside I guess.but why did she have to see me smile? Argh I must train longer then as punishment for that.

I must go to punish myself now,

Ja

Syaoran LI (Little Wolf)

Syaoran closed his journal and hid it back in his drawer. He leaned back on his chair and stretched out his arms giving a soft yawn. He then got out of his chair and walked into the corner of his bedroom. Here is where he kept his weapon-his sword. He took it off the holder and gave it a quick swish. It was still in good condition. He had second thoughts about changing into his robes though, as he did not want "her" to see him in them. It couldn't hurt just this once to train in his clothes he wore now he thought. So he made his way outside, sword in hand. Sakura and Meiling weren't in the kitchen or anywhere that he could see of which was good. So he went outside to punish himself..
