Chapter 4 (I do not own CCS)
**************************************
Sakura and Syaoran breathed a sigh of relief in unison as they realized that the dragons had lost them in a back ally. Sakura was laughing, shakingand crying all at the same time. "Wow, that was intense." She giggled, smiling to herself and sending a sideways glance towards Syaoran.
"Are you OK? You don't have whiplash or neck cramps do you?" Syaoran asked, smiling at Sakura's love for adventure and action. "I mean, I don't want you to get hurt and not be able to stop the dragons." He quickly covered up his concern for Sakura with a facial mask.
Sakura looked over at him once again and took in his facial features. Hard, amber eyes, flecked with dark brown in certain areas that showed no lovefor life. Every once in a while though, he would show love for his friends and a certain auburn-haired girl. He, like Sakura, also had auburn/brownhair, but unlike hers, his was unruly and spiked.
Sakura, being who she was, never seemed to notice the gleam of love that shone in his eye in her freshman year whenever he looked at her. Now, every timehe looks at her, a flash of anger is shown. Sakura took a while before answering his simple question.
"No, no. I'm absolutely fine. It was a very interesting ride." She assured him, giggling to herself, watching him. He stared straight ahead, as if he was on guard forsomething. Sakura had a feeling in her stomach that told her something terrible would be bestowed unto her.
"Syaoran, hurry up. I need call my father right away." Syaoran heard the urgency in her voice and sped up to 60 mph. He saw that she was slightly pale again, a small shiver ran up her back and her eyes shone dead fright.
"What if something happens to him? What if he....he's dead with Touya?" She said in a slow tone, looking straight at Syaoran for his view. "Do you think somethingwill happen to father?" A bell rang in her head. 'Where's Kirby? She's been gone all day!!! What's going on!??!'
Syaoran stopped in front of a very old and dusty looking mansion. 'What a fixer upper.' Sakura thought as she looked over the house with an eagle eye. "Syaoran?Is this the Li Mansion? The one you've been *Cough* bragging about?" She giggled and watched as Syaoran flinched and gave her a sharp glare.
"Yes. It belongs to me and my family." When Syaoran says family, he means his good friends. "My mother stayed in Hong Kong. I move to Tomedo when I was young.As you remember, I left again for several years after that." He saw Sakura nod. "I went to see my mother about training here in Tomedo. I had made such good friendshere that... I didn't want to part with them."
Sakura smiled as he finished his story and thought about what it would have been like right then if she hadn't killed the leader. Would she be cowering from theDragons right now? Would she and Syaoran be going out right then? 'What?' 'Where'd that come from?' She questioned herself then shrugged and followed Syaoranas he opened her door to let her out.
"You're such a gentleman." She teased, trying to sound more brave than she felt after what had happened to her in the past day. "Syaoran, may I ask you a small, small favor? Pretty please?" She pouted, and begged, looking up with soft puppy eyes.
Syaoran looked down and chuckled slightly. "What are you going to beg for now?" He asked, frowning slightly and suspiciously.
"Can we have Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, Hana, Kazuo (a guy), Shika and Naoko come with us? I mean, look how much room you have in this place." Sakura pointed out, sticking out her lip like alittle girl. "I don't want them to be in danger too. I mean, with you around, they'll be safe. Right?" Sakura stated, making Syaoran feel important to Sakura.
"Well......" Syaoran stopped as he watched Sakura with amusement as she put on the most adorable face anyone had ever seen. "I guess so." He smiled, as Sakura jumpedup and down with excitement.
"Thank you Syaoran. I LOVE you!!!" She squealed in delight, not really meaning it though. "How are we going to get them here?" She questioned suddenly as the same exact questionpopped into Syaoran's head.
He looked around then snapped his fingers, pulling out a silver cell-phone and speed dialing someone. He spoke in a low tone and snapped it shut, making Sakura jump and fall on her tooshie. She had been eavesdropping in on his conversation and didn't want to get on his bad side again.
"I sent my friend Eriol, and Yamazaki to pick up your friends. They should be arriving later this evening but right now, I think we should be heading inside in case some one recognizes us and decides to take action right now." Syaoran warned and pulled Sakura by her arm inside.
Sakura blushed as she felt his skin brush hers and dropped her head in case he saw her. Syaoran also flushed a pink color and turned sideways so Sakura wouldn't see. "Really, your house is very nice but....I must say that it isn't the cleanest of all houses." Sakura mused softly, eyes roaming the exterior of the house as Syaoran opened the door for them.
"I haven't ta*** the time for spring cleaning." Syaoran explained in an annoyed tone. "You know, too much business stuff." Sakura remembered that Syaoran had dropped out of school to take over his family business. (In first chapter, Syaoran was at the school to spy on Sakura. I can't remember what I wrote. Tell me if it's wrong k?) "Does your business have to do with gangs?" she asked quietly, knowing she was being VERY nosey in his line of work.
"Actually, it does. Very much so, but I will not explain anything to you." Syaoran said in a warning tone. "I'm sorry. I can't tell you now but, later, I certainly will." He smiled confidently and hoped that they lived for him to tell her.
They walked into the house and Sakura rushed to the phone. She growled as the phone just beeped. "Argh!!!! This is so freakin' annoying!!" She screamed in rage and laid on the couch.
*Four hours later*
Sakura woke up from sleep and stretched, hearing her back crack. "Ugh, that hurt like crap." She stretched some more and picked up the phone.
After a few more minutes of calling, Sakura still hadn't been able to reach her father yet. The line at her home was disconnected, giving Sakura a horrible feeling. "What if something happened to him???" She asked and started to cry.
She started to walk around the house, drying her tears off. The house hadn't been updated in at least 10 years. It was very dusty in most of the rooms, yet it was very elegant, in a modern sort of way. It had many full windows in each room, and a very large ballroom on the lowest level. Ten rooms were on the top floor, and ten more on the second floor. For a total of three floors. The dining room sat at least twenty people or more. Sakura ventured upstairs, picking out her own room. It was furnished in mostly pink. 'Must have belonged to one of his sister's.' She thought, and jumped a mile in the air when she heard the door open and shut.
"My sister, Faren, (Is that how you spell it? If it's not, tell me how to spell all of his sister's names.) used to stay in this room when she visited. She no longer associates with me because I'm a 'roughien'." He chuckled at the word.
"I'm sorry. Do you like your sisters?" Sakura asked curiously, watching Syaoran's every move. "They love me like I was a puppy. But, I do love them too. They ARE my sisters you know." He grinned and sat down in a small chair next to the bed Sakura was sitting on.
Sakura sat up, and walked into the bathroom. She gasped, it was huge. It had a gacoozie, and a shower. It had a mirror that ran across the length of the wall and a small, pink toilet. She smiled and walked out, narrowing her eyes at Syaoran's amused look. "It's a magnificent bathroom I must admit." She sighed and layed on her bed.
**Another 5 hours**
"When are they coming?" Sakura whined, getting on Syaoran's last nerve. "I'm getting bored!" She paced around the room, petting the small kitten found in Syaoran's bed.
"Sakura! Will you shut up already. I told you, they'd be coming in a couple of hours. Now, sit down and wait!" Syaoran screamed, turning bright red. He calmed down and walked from where he was standing next to a portrait window. He sat down on the couch, setting his legs on his coffee table. "Before they come, I need to let you know that my close friends live here with me. Eriol, Yamazaki, Meiling, Chow, Hiroshi, Shiro and Aiko. They all live on the top floor. But, I can get Meiling to go with you guys and have the boys on top, and the girls on the second floor. Is that all right with you? For right now, I think it's better if you didn't go to school. I don't want you guys to get hurt."
Before Sakura could answer, there was a roar and a backfire from a car and smoke billowed from in front of the house. (have you seen uncle buck? That's where I got it from. Not the same kind of car though.) A band of giggly girls and three, grumpy looking boys stepped out of the car, and walked unswayingly to the front door. Some of the girls stopped dead, and looked around at the outside of the house. Rika whispered something to herself, probably 'It's so dirty!!!!' Then walked inside. "Hey guys!!" Sakura said in a chirpy tone, dancing around in front of them. It was about seven to eight o'clock and everyone was restless.
"I'll call the guys and tell them to come back here. They're probably girl scouting right now." Syaoran joked, unsure of himself and turned red when no one laughed. "Yeah, I'll just call them now." Syaoran said and slumped away. Sakura laughed high, and mighty a few seconds later. "I just got his joke!!!" She giggled and everyone sweat dropped and fell on the ground anime style.
"What? What did I do??" Sakura asked, looking around and giggling. Everyone stood back up and turned away, raising an eyebrow in her direction and rolled their eyes.
