Syaoran Leaves

-A week after Sakura arrived in Hong Kong-

"But I just barely got here!" Pouted Sakura, looking up at Syaoran.

"I know honey. It's just that people have payed for my flight so I can get to their meeting. I can't disappoint them. But you know," he grinned. "I could always buy you a ticket as well so you can come along."

"I would love to go with you but I don't want to get in your way. It's alright. How long are you going to be in Korea anyway?"

"About 3 days. A week tops. Are you sure you don't want to come?"

"That's alright. There really is no reason for me to be there and I don't want you wasting your money on me."

"Hey! Any money spent on you is anything but a waste. I would love it if you could come," smiled Syaoran as he began to play with a couple of strands of Sakura's hair.

"And I would love to go but it's just that...I promised Touya I'd stay in Hong Kong," she sighed, avoiding her fiancee's eyes.

"So that's why. Well I know you. You'd never break a promise unless the person relieves you of it or if it's capable of destroying someone. You don't think you could call him and ask him if it'll be alright?" The amber-eyed boy asked hopefully.

"I'll try," she smiled, crossing the room over to the phone that hung on the wall next to her dresser.

-Five minutes later-

Sakura held the phone about a foot away from her ear.

"YOU PROMISED! YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO STAY IN HONG KONG AND NOT STEP FOOT OUT OF IT UNTIL I MOVED THERE AS WELL! SAKURA-CHAN I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D GO BACK ON YOUR PROMISE! I AM ASHAMED OF YOU!!!!!" Bellowed Touya.

"Calm down oniichan. I was just asking for your permission," sighed Sakura. "But I suppose I got the answer. Well take care!"

Sakura hung up before her older brother could yell some more and make her promise other things. She turned back to Syaoran with a sad expression that told him everything.

"Oh it's alright," he said, managing a weak smile. "I'll try and get back as soon as I can."

"Need help packing?" Offered the green-eyed girl. "The sooner you get over there the sooner you can come back ^_^!"

Clow-Reed's-would-be-descendant smiled.

"Sure thing. I leave in about 2 and a half hours so I guess we should get started."

-After seeing Syaoran off-

Wei pulled up in front of the house and got out of the car, opening the back door of the limosine for Sakura to slip out. They both then made their way up to the front door, the older man pulling out a set of house keys. Before he could unlock the door it swung open to reveal Xiaolong standing there.

"Dude, Wei, Syaoran'll kill you if he found out you were taking his girl out. Speaking of Syaoran, where the hell is he?" Asked the handsome young man, leaning on the door frame, blocking their entrance.

"Master Syaoran is on a flight on his way to Korea for a 3 day meeting," the old man informed politely. "Please step aside Master Xiaolong, it's quite cold out here."

"What?! You mean my older brother up and left without taking his fiancee with him? Where are his manners?" Xiaolong tutted continuesly until Sakura broke in.

"I couldn't go. He offered but I didn't have permission."

"Permission? Screw permission! What are you 17? 18? Still going by permission?" Snorted the Syaoran-look-alike.

Sakura decided to ignore him and instead pushed past him and into the house, mumbling a quick "Excuse me" before climbing up the stairs and into her room.

-The next morning-

Sakura made her way to the bathroom door and pulled it open, only to find Xiaolong stepping out of the shower with a tiny towel around his waist.

"Gomen nasai," blurted the young girl, quickly averting her gaze by turning her back towards him, her face burning.

"This makes me wonder how many times you walk in on Syaoran," he mocked, grinning.

"Don't you have your own bathroom?!" Sakura demanded, whirling back around to glare at him.

"Careful there. Your face might get redder if you stand there facing me," chuckled Xiaolong, exiting the bathroom back into his brothers room.

Fuming, the-would-be-card-captor slammed the door and stepped into the shower.
