Living it Up
Chapter Nine: The End is Near
SAKURA LEIGH: Sorry for the long wait my computer is down and I have to use my Bf's! I apologize profusely!
"Just where do you think you are going?" A male voice asked behind them.
Sakura spun on her heel and her hand came shooting up to her breast, "You scared the hell out of me Yuki-san! Don't do that ever again!"
"Who is this guy Sakura?" Syaoran asked quietly his body tense...
Sakura smiled, "This is Yukito-san! He was my tutor before I decided to go to a public school. He helps me alot..." Sakura blushed, and whispered, "He was friends with Touya back in Hong Kong before the... accident..."
Syaoran looked at Sakura sharply, accident? So thats what it had been written off as...
"Yuki-san... I'm leaving, and I don't think I'm ever coming back..." Sakura said, "I can't tell you where I'm going, but I want you to know that I will never forget you, and I will try to contact you. Its important that I don't stay here anymore..."
Yukito nodded his understanding, "If you ever need a place to stay I will always be here for you..."
"SAKURA! WHERE ARE YOU!" A mans voice echoed down from Sakura's room.
Sakura flinched visibly, and Syaoran knew that was *him*. He moved to go kill that son of a bitch for what he'd done to Sakura!
"No Syaoran! Lets just get out of here before he gets..." Sakura started but she was cut off by the thunderous steps of someone barreling down the stairs.
Yukito picked up on her horror and smiled grimly, he placed a crumpled piece of paper in her hand before facing the stairs, "Get out of here I'll delay him as much as I can..."
Sakura nodded and she raced out the door with her stuff in hand, Syaoran had no choice but to follow. They had made it around the corner of the apartment building when there was a crash, Sakura glanced back to see that the door had been knocked clean off its hinges before she was completely out of sight.
"Thank god we got out when... when we did..." Sakura breathed harshly.
Syaoran studied her before smiling and nodding, but inside he was raging at that bastard for what he'd done.
"This way," Syaoran smiled leading her into his apartment building, "My apartment is the ninth floor, I share it with Meiling."
Sakura nodded, "Your apartment is on the ninth floor, got it!"
Syaoran chuckled, "No, no, Sakura... My apartment IS the ninth floor."
"Oh...." Sakura said awe in her eyes, "Thats awesome...."
Sakura followed Syaoran up to his apartment, and was awed at the sight. This was a high class, really expensive, top quality place! And Sakura was feeling more and more out of place by the minute....
"Hey Syaoran!" Meiling called out to Syaoran carrying a sobbing Mai, "I need you to watch Mai for a minute while I make dinner..."
"Sorry Meiling I can't I need to get to work, I'm here to drop Sakura off. She's going to be staying with us," Syaoran called back placing Sakura's stuff down in the spare room.
Meiling poked her head in, "Hey Sakura, great to see you! Would you mind watching the little tyke for me?"
"No problem, Li-chan," Sakura said quietly, she was felt as if she was imposing, "If you'd like to take a rest I could make dinner too.."
"I'd love that but...." Meiling gave Sakura a strange look, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Of course!" Sakura smiled brightly taking Mai from Meiling's arms, "Now go have a bath or something! You need some *you* time."
Meiling grinned, "Thank you so much Sakura-chan! And call me Meiling ok?"
Sakura grinned and then walked into the kitchen quickly familiarizing herself with it. She place Mai on the counter, "Mai sweetie, how would you like to help Aunty Sakura make dinner?"
"I'd love to!" Mai giggled wiping her cheeks.
Syaoran grinned at Sakura, "I'll be back from work in a few hours ok?"
Sakura handed him his coat which was hanging beside the door, the green one, of course. "Bye Syaoran!"
"Ok Mai! Lets make dinner!" Sakura smiled acting like she belonged made her feel better, but tears were still threatening to fall.
It took several hours to make everything. Together the two of them had made sushi and noodle salad, some miso soup and a mushroom dish, as well as an angel food cake; "Good job Mai! You were a huge help, as a matter of fact I think you did most of the work!"
In reality Mai had only carried stuff for Sakura but the grin that spread across the little girl's face was enough to make even Sakura smile.
"Meiling! Dinner will be ready in half an hour!" Sakura called down the hall.
"OK!" Meiling came walking out of the hall with a towel around her neck.
Twenty minutes later Syaoran came through the door grinning, "I got promoted!"
"What?" Meiling exclaimed, "But you only work part time.. how?"
"Apparently I'm a good cook, they made me head chef!" Syaoran grinned from ear to ear.
Sakura grinned as well, "I hope I can live up to your standards! How are you going to handle all of that work on top of school?"
"Its no problem, I can handle it.." Syaoran smiled as they all sat down for dinner. The rest of the evening was uneventful. After dinner Mai went to bed and the rest of them did homework and watched TV.
Pretty soon Sakura was lying in the guest bed shaking in fear as her demons surrounded her. The terror became to much and soon Sakura sneaked down the hall to Syaoran's room. She climbed into bed next to him and waited for the demons to come; at least she wouldn't have to face them alone...
But they didn't. She was wrapped in something warm and peaceful and she snuggled into the bed and fell asleep, praying Syaoran wouldn't be mad at her in the morning...
