Everyone awoke late the next morning. But no one seemed to want to get out of bed, as at least another foot of snow had fallen during the night. Syaoran was the first to brave the cold house. Every room he went into he lit a fire in the fireplace. Then headed into the large kitchen to make 8 cups of steaming hot chocolate before heading back upstairs to play servant.
-Upstairs-
Sakura awoke to a curt knock on the door. She grumbled and snuggled deeper into the warm blankets as the door opened. She opened one emerald eye to see Syaoran standing in the door way. She giggled at his attire. He was wearing what looked like 2 sweatshirts, a pair of heavy cargo pants, and as many socks as he could possibly fit on his feet. A large tray balanced on his right hand over his shoulder, and a down folded over his left arm, which had been added by Eriol a few minutes earlier.
"My last stop." he said, "Madam, your hot chocolate." he swooped the tray down in front of her face.
Sakura sat up smiling as she took one. "If it's your last stop, then why 2 cups?" she asked, drinking the hot sweet liquid.
"Why Madam, one is for your most faithful servant."
"But Karri isn't here, Syaoran." she teased back.
"Hello. I meant ME!"
"Whatever," she sighed. "It's not always about you, you know. Thanks anyway. Where is everyone?"
"Cowering by a fire somewhere I expect."
"That's where I want to be." she stood up, briefly placing her mug down as she wrapped her blanket around herself, then picked it back up. "That's better." then she headed for the door. "Coming, O faithful servant?"
He growled, then ran after her, both spilling their drinks as he chased her down the long hallway. Finally he got within reach of her blanket, as he reached his hand out for it..
-downstairs-
Running was heard from upstairs, then the sound of breaking ceramic brought the sleepy 6 people out of their last reveries of going back to bed. They all looked to the foyer when thumps were heard about a minute later as someone fell down them. The 6 were quickly to their feet and didn't know how to describe the sight in front of them.
At the foot of the stairs, Syaoran lay sprawled out on his back, his arms enveloping Sakura's head protectively to his chest. She lay on his chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his torso.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked cautiously, when she saw her nod Tomoyo shouted, "Are you ok?"
Sakura's face slowly became visible from under Syaoran's arms. He reluctantly let her go from their embrace. Her reaction was not what they had all expected. She was laughing. Hysterically. She sat up, straddling Syaoran's waist.
"That...was...soooooo....much...FUN!" she got out between laughs. She looked down at Syaoran, who was hiding a very red face with his hands. "Can we do it again?"
"NO! I don't think my ass or my back could handle it again."
Everyone in the room laughed as they helped the two back to their feet. No one in the room bothered to notice the blush that was on both Sakura and Syaoran's faces. No one bothered to ask what had happened at the top of the stairs either. They all just headed upstairs to clean up the messy hall.
-later-
"Sakura, you sure you don't want to go with us?" Chiharu asked, standing at the door with Takashi, Eriol and Tomoyo, their skies waiting for them outside the door.
"Yeah, I'm sure. It's too cold for me." She replied. "I'm just gonna stay here with Brooke, Reese, and Syaoran. We might head up to the theatre with Brooke later for her rehearsal. So if we're not here, try Syaoran's cell."
Tomoyo nodded, then hugged her friend goodbye before heading out the door. She still hadn't gotten over Sakura's falling down the stairs earlier.
Sakura silently walked back up the stairs to her room, and sat on the edge of her bed. The events of hours ago still fresh in her mind.
-flashback-
He growled, then ran after her, both spilling their drinks as he chased her down the long hallway. Finally he got within reach of her blanket, as he reached his hand out for it. With the fist full he had, he pulled, and Sakura unraveled from the blanket. She spun around, until Syaoran caught her in his arms. Both their mugs falling to the ground breaking. Her head only came to his shoulders, so she looked up into his eyes, ready to make fun of him for something. But nothing came to her mind. She was distracted as his head slowly descended upon hers, and his lips brushed against hers in a gentle, yet passionate kiss.
Sakura stepped back from him, so she could properly look into his eyes. She was confused. Only, when she stepped back, there was no ground. She started to lose her balance as Syaoran quickly grabbed hold of her, crushing her to his body in protection as both tumbled down the long staircase.
-end flashback-
Sakura sat for a few minutes, her hand slowly reaching up to touch her lips. She closed her eyes as she remembered how soft and warm his lips had been on hers. 'It's amazing, how just a simple brush of the lips can leave a person so breathless. So numb to the outside world. I wasn't cold anymore. I only my passion. And his. How strange.' she thought to herself. 'Maybe I am more than just another sister.'

From the door, a silent silhouette watched as the girl before him was lost in thought. One hand to her lips. This was his opportunity. He pushed open the door and walked into the room.
