"What do you mean?" Syaoran asked, eyes going wide.

"They'll do what ever it costs to make sure you're 6 feet under."

"But why?! Who?!"

"They think you know something...Something that would ruin them forever. And you DO know that something. You just don't know it would ruin them forever..."

"What?! How could I know yet not know?! What is this about?!?! WHO is it about?!" Exclaimed Syaoran, looking from one man to the other.

"It will all be explained in due time..."

*

Sakura chuckled.

"I dare you," she taunted. "I dare you to retrieve them then joke about it with Syaoran! I'd love to watch whatever he does to you."

"You sick woman. It may seem like I have no morals nor respect but I'm NOT going to reach my hand down your blouses and retrieve the keys from your bra or whatever! But I AM going to tell Syaoran that you dropped my keys there and then dared me to reach down and pull them out. HAHA! He'll love that!"

"Yes well it just comes to show how desperate I am about the whole shopping thing! I NEED TO GO!" She exclaimed.

"FINE!" Barked Xiaolong, stalking out of the house, Sakura right behind him.

"Get in the car and gimme the damn keys," he hissed, obvoiusly trying to hold back from lashing out against her.

*

Xiaolong parked the car rather harshly (A/N: Quick turn into the parking space and slamming on the brakes) before unbuckling his seatbelt and slipping out of the car, slamming the door shut.

Sakura did the same.

"What? You're not going to zoom off and leave me stranded her? Don't you think it would be against your "bad-boy" nature to escort me around the store?" She mocked, raising an eyebrow.

"Shut the fuck up. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Syaoran. Now zip your lips and let's get this over with. I have my own errands to run," he snapped, heading towards the building.

"Alright I'm sorry," said Sakura, rushing to catch up with the hunkster up ahead.

"Yeah whatever. Just shut up."

*

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU HEADING?!?!" Roared Xiaolong.

"Down this isle," she whispered, looking around to make sure no one had heard him bellowing. "Lower your voice. This is already embarrassing enough."

"You're telling me?!?!" He hissed, lowering his voice as well. "I have to stand here and wait while you pick out which BRAND OF pads YOU WANT!"

"Who said you had to follow me into the isle? You can just wait in the next one or something," she pointed out, blushing a tiny bit due to the fact that she had to bring him with her for such a thing.

"Fine! Just don't take forever like a typical woman!" He spat, stalking off yet again.

Sakura shook her head and began scanning the wall of "supplies".

She finally found the certain type she wanted and walked over to the next isle.

"Took you long enough," growled Xiaolong.

"It barely took two minutes!" She exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yeah yeah whatever! How much do you need?"

"I can pay on my own thank you very much!"

"Are you sure? Or have you forgotten Japanese bills don't work here? Because obviously you haven't gone to the bank yet. Well not to my knowledge," he pointed out, ALMOST politely.

"So? It's not like you know everything that happens with me!"

"Pretty much," he muttered, glancing sideways at the 'package' Sakura was carrying under her right arm. She blushed a deep shade of red before huffing and stomping off to a cash register.

Xiaolong smirked at the reaction he got before following after her.

*

"Is this all, miss?" Asked the young man at the register.

"Yes that'll be all," smiled Sakura, oblivious to the fact that the man kept checking her out and grinning continuously.

Xiaolong stood behind the emerald-eyed beauty, glaring daggers at the man who dared check out his brother's wife-to-be.

Sakura payed the man and moved along. She didn't get far before she heard an "oof".

Turning around, she saw that the man behind the register was clutching at his bleeding nose, while Xiaolong cracked his knuckles and walked off, towards Sakura.

"Let's go," he said in a voice filled with satisfaction.

Sakura decided not to question his sudden actions and behaviour, and so she just went ahead and followed.

*

"Just be careful Syaoran. They might set up a trap anytime, anywhere. Have a guard around you at all times."

"You keep saying THEY! Who's THEY?!" Exclaimed the amber-eyed man.

"Certain people who have ties with your company. You are dismissed!"
