this is a story about Sakura who was raped by Syaoran at the age of 17. The thing is, he doesn't know it and 'fell in love' with someone else leaving her alone with a son, XiaoLong. Now, Syaoran is back and single, Sakura is unsure whether she should tell him the truth- that he is the father of Xiao Long- or let him think she is a s***?!

I loved you, still do

i'm sorry/ gonna prove you wrong

(a/n: just to let you know, i'm skipping between the names Li & Syaoran cause i can't make up my mind on which to use)

Li looked out of the window as(A/N: he got the window seat) Cherry Island came into view. His first thought that came to mind was of Sakura..
*8*8*8*8*8*8*8* Sakura and Xiao Long were running all over the house cleaning it up, for what Xiao Long doesn't know. However, he does know it's because someone is coming over.

He assumed that the person is very important because mummy doesn't ever clean the house when other people come. Even Aunt Tomoyo, Aunt Meiling or Uncle Eriol and Uncle Touya.

"Okay, the spare room is done, the living room is neat, so is the study..." Sakura trailed off, checking the rooms they cleaned. She flopped down onto the nearest chair. "Mummy?" asked Xiao Long," who's this impartant person?"

"You mean important man? His name is Syaoran, or in chinese-Xiao Lang. He's kind of a long-lost friend."

"Oooh.Okay," he paused,"I'm hungry."

"What would you like to eat?"

"Pasta and cheese! And chocolate ice-cream and lollipop and and..."Sakura laughed, "We'll go out to eat later on then, right now mummy wanna rest. Okay?"

"Okay."
*8*8*8*8*8*8*8* Meiling stood at the airport near a cafe. The TV attached to the wall announced the arrival of Syaoran's plane. She walked over the gate and waited for him.

She was not surprised to see so many people waiting at the gate, girls especially. Syaoran has become the top 3 most eligible bacholars in Japan and Hong Kong, and his fame is spreading. She wedged her way to the front and spotted him grabbing a couple of bags, then making his way out.

She was right about the fans being here part, girls started screaming the moment they saw him. He, having experienced this before, calmly put on his shades and walked towards Meiling. "Hey Meiling, so where are we going?" he grinned. Girls around him fainted from being so close to the famous Li Syaoran.

She coulnd help but smile at the return of her cousin. "It must have been a long trip so I thought I'd let you rest at your 'house' and then we can go for Supper." "Cool," he replied," so where am I sleeping?" "At Sakura's," she smiled again, mischiviously. He stared at her wide-eyed,"what?!"

*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*

ding!dong! The doorbell rang, "I'll get it!" Sakura shouted. She rushed to opened the door, revealing Li and meiling. Li had a scrowl on his face and Meiling was smiling gleefully. Knowing them, Sakura knew not to ask what happened.

"Li, hi. You too Meiling," Things were going to be awkward, that is, if Xiao Long hadn't come too save her. He bounded down the stairs and the moment he saw Aunt Meiling, he ran up to greet her with a hug. "Hi Aunt Meiling!!!"he shouted.

He then turned to Li, tugging his pants," who are you? are you the im-port- ant person mummy was talking about?" he scrunched up his nose as he tried to pronounce the word 'important'. They laughed. Syaoran smiled at Xiao Long," my name is Li Syaoran, what's yours?"

"Xiao Long Kinomoto! But Uncle Touya calls me Syaoron...hey! that's like your name!"he was smiling now. Thank goodness he has Sakura's cheerfulness. "Yep, it is," Syaoran grinned back. "Have you two eaten?" asked Sakura," we were getting tired of waiting for you so we got dressed to leave and have supper first."

"Good thing we're here then, we haven't had the chance to eat yet, let's go to the cafe at 73 Elm street!" Meiling suggested. "okay, you drive your car and I'll drive mine. Race ya!" Sakura dashed out of the house with Xiao Long. "No fair! you got a head start!" Meiling shouted as she dragged Syaoran to the car.

*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*

They slid to a booth. Xiao Long next to Syaoran, then a waitress came to take their order. Fortunately for them, she did not recognise Syaoran.

They happily ate their food as Syaoran talked about his trips around the world, Xiao Long easily got attached to him. He held his hand whenever possible, Syaoran didn't seem to mind. He always wanted to be a father anyway.

Soon, it was time to go. Syaoran was about to go into Meiling's car when Xiao Long grabbed his hand. "Come sit with us, pleeeeease?" Syaoran looked helplessly at Meiling and Sakura, the both of them giggled. "Go ahead, I've got work to do anyway," Meiling told him.

"Okay then," he nodded his head. "Yay! Sit with me, sit with me!" "Alright, alright,"he laughed. Sakura hugged Meiling goodbye and hopped into the car. "Seatbelts buckled? Lets go!"

*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*

Now, Syaoran's sitting in the front. Xiao Long fell asleep at the back. The tense silence was so much you could cut it with a knife. Syaoran cleared his throat, "So, uh, where's Xiao Long's dad?"

Silence.

"His dad doesn't know Xiao Long exsists, or that Xiao Long is his son at the most."

Syaoran raised an eyebrow. "Right.."

She shot him a look, "It's not what you think it is."

"How would you know what I'm thinking?"

"Most people have the same response after I tell them that. Anyway, I heard that you and Mira broke up."

Syaoran's face turned cold," You were right about her after my money and charms. I caught her with someone else."

Sakura kept silent for awhile," Sorry I asked.."

"Nah, I should be sorry. you were right, I didn't love her."

More silence.

Syaoran watched Sakura concentrate on her driving, she has changed a lot. Now, she has shoulder length hair that has been highlighted at certain parts of her hair, she even has a great body. 'Wait a minute, great body?! What am I thinking?!' Nevertheless, he continued staring at her.

"Li Syaoran, is there a problem with me or are you just being pervertic? Stop staring!" Sakura nearly shouted.(Xiao Long is sleeping at the back, remember?) He smirked, "I just thought I saw a bug on your face. That's all." She face turned red, out of either anger or embarassment. "What ever," she said.

*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*

Xiao Long was carried to his bedroom to sleep while Li went into his own room to rest. Sakura changed into her nightgown and sat on her bed. The man who raped her was in her house. Still, she couldn't do much about it, or could she?

Silently, she crept out to the corridor and peeked into his room. It was empty. "Looking for something?" a husky voice came from behind her sending shivers down her spine. She spun around and was inches away from Li's face. Her face burned red, "nothing. Just making sure you're okay..." He arched an eyebrow, " Oh really? Or are you interested in keeping me company for the night?"

"It's not what you think it is..."she straightened to her full height, which was a big mistake as her face became centimetres away from his face. "Yeah right. Well, what ever you may say won't change my mind about it and I'm going to prove you wrong. I'll make sure of it," his face turned into a dangerous expression.

"How?" Sakura challenged. "By the time I leave, you'll be mine," He replied. He closed the distance between them and kissed her on the lips...
