Syaoran walked out of room and down the stairs. All around him, he could hear the laughter of children. "Syaoran is that you?" following the voice he saw the lady he looked upon as his mother.
"Yes mother?" he asked walked into the room. He placed a soft kiss on her cheek. Yelen looked at one of the oldest children in the house and smiled. She didn't know what she would do without him. She had done everything in her power to make sure the board didn't throw him out because of his age.
"I just wanted to tell you to be careful that's all" she smiled softly touching his cheek. Syaoran returned the smile looking into her bright clear brown eyes, her long brown hair pulled back in a tight bun.
"I'm always careful. Is there anything you need?" he was on his way to see Sakura because he wouldn't be able to during the night since as he had a race.
"All I need is to see the lovely lady you're running out to meet" Syaoran's mouth almost dropped open. She laughed at his astonished look, "I heard you on the phone this afternoon" she explained making him laugh.
"You'll meet her soon" he assured placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving. She watched him go hoping this girl wouldn't do him wrong like all the others. He was such a sweet heart; she didn't know what she would do without him.
Sakura…
She sat out in the backyard at her favorite spot. Like usual she was reading, she was avoiding the house because Kenji was over talking with her uncle. He had been coming over a lot and she didn't know for what. Her aunt was also having a luncheon with some really close friends, some of which Sakura found really irritating. "This is so boring" she whispered softly glancing at her watch.
Getting up she decided to go inside knowing that Syaoran was coming over. He wanted to take her out to lunch; she hadn't a clue where they were going. It had been two months since they met, and she was really enjoying the time they were spending together. She remembered what happened the first night they went out…
Flashback…
"You can let go of the seat now. We've stopped" Syaoran teased turning his car off. Sakura had to pry her fingers off his seats. Taking a deep breath, she swallowed and took off her seat belt. Syaoran shook his head walking to her side, opening the door held out his hand. "Come on, I promise the Beach House stays in one place"
"Very funny" she mumbled taking his hand. He helped her out, and closed the door while Sakura looked at the bar in front of her. She could hear loud music coming from inside, and wondered what kind of party was going on.
"You want to go in now or do you want to talk first?" he inquired wondering if it was a good idea taking her to a place like that.
"Can we walk on the beach or something?" she asked softly. Syaoran shook his head and together they walked off heading towards the steps. Making their way down them slowly Sakura watched the small waves smash against the sand. "How long have you lived here in Tokyo?" she asked softly taking off her sandals.
"Since I was eight" he answered simply not really wanting to elaborate on it. "You've lived here your whole like right" she shook her head and sighed.
"Yep and it's always been the same. I mean we're from the same world yet you seem to enjoy life more than I do" Syaoran frowned slightly knowing that he wasn't from her world. He didn't know what it felt like to have everything it was that you wanted. From since he could remember, he had been working for the boss doing errands in order to make money and get what he wanted.
"You've got make the best of your life. I want to live life to the fullest" he shrugged; she looked at him and smiled. "What?" he asked wondering why she was staring eat him.
"I thought I would have never seen you again," she answered surprising him. He hadn't thought she would have wanted to see him but maybe she wanted to because she thought he was just like her, from the same world.
"Here I am. Make the best of it"
"I won't have to because I'm going to be seeing you a lot" he didn't like the way she sounded so sure of herself. Her cell phone started to ring for the hundredth time that night but she ignored it. Taking it out she saw that it was home, deciding that she had better answer this one she sighed. "I have to get this one. Hold on"
"Sure" she smiled pressing the button.
"Hello?" she frowned hearing her auntie.
"Sakura where are you? We're deathly worried, and Kenji is blaming himself for loosing you" Celina spoke in a calm tone not at all portraying her anger even though she could feel it.
"I'm out with a friend auntie. I'll be home soon I promise" Sakura answered calmly. Syaoran stared at the sea wondering what her family would do if they found out that he was poor and had nothing to offer Sakura.
"I don't care where you are. I want you home this instant" Sakura sighed closing her eyes. Why didn't have they to ruin her fun always?
"Okay" she agreed hanging up. She didn't want to go home but she didn't feel like getting in trouble. Putting it away she looked at ocean like Syaoran was going. "I have to go home my aunt is freaking out"
"Okay." He answered knowing that she was an adult but obviously she wasn't very independent.
"I'm sorry. Maybe we could meet again tomorrow or whenever you have time," she said softly hoping he would say something about meeting her again.
"I have a lot to do. I'm tied up for the entire day. I don't think I'll be able to get away" she sighed deflated, why did Celina have to ruin her night? "We'll see though" he smiled reassuring her.
"Okay. I'll give you my number incase we can meet" Sakura said looking for a pen as they made their way up the stairs. Finding one she took Syaoran's hand, writing it down quickly she smiled at him. This was probably the first time she had given her number out like this. "Promise that you won't drive too fast?"
"I promise"
Syaoran pulled up in front of Sakura's large house. She sighed unbuckling, "I'll be waiting for your call" she said softly opening the car door.
"I'll be calling" he replied with a smirk. Sakura beamed a smile at him, getting out she closed the door. He waited until she was inside before he pulled off. Sakura looked around her house knowing that everyone was in the library waiting for her.
"Might as well get this over with" heading towards the library she opened the door and walked in. Looking at her uncle Han, aunt Celina and Kenji she smiled. "I'm home. Good night"
"Not so fast young lady" Han spoke sternly. She turned to face him knowing that she was going to get a tongue-lashing. "What you did tonight was very irresponsible, do you know that?"
"I'm sorry. I thought Kenji and Ai Ling wouldn't mind. I felt like the third wheel" Sakura answered making Kenji rush towards her. He held her by the shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug.
"You know that I don't want Ai Ling. I care for you Sakura. Please don't leave like that again, whosoever you left with will be hearing from me" Kenji spoke as if he were her husband. Sakura pried herself from his arms and stumbled back a bit.
"I'm not a child any longer, come now. I just went out with a friend that's all. I'm tired, good night" she smiled at them, "and I'm sorry, truly sorry. Auntie, Uncle you'll meet my new friend hopefully tomorrow" she beamed a smile at them before leaving the room. Kenji, Celina and Han looked at each other wondering what the hell was going on.
"I wonder who this friend could be" Kenji muttered thinking it must be a girl.
End Flashback…
That night she went to her room and couldn't think about anything else but him. It was weird but she liked him already and that was just from being with him for only a couple of hours. Giggling she walked towards the house. This would be the first time that her aunt, Kenji and uncle would be introduced to Syaoran.
Before she made it to the patio she saw her aunt leave her guest. Not thinking anything of it, she continued to walk slowly.
Inside…
Syaoran looked at the people in front of him. "So you're the young man my Sakura has been hanging around?" Han spoke in a stern not but Syaoran wasn't the least bit fazed by it. He knew that this would happen sooner or later.
"Yes Kinomoto-san" he answered simply ignoring the glare Kenji had aimed at him. All families were vicious when it came to their nieces or daughters. He had learned that Sakura's family had died in an accident similar to his.
"Don't try to act like you have manners boy" Han bit out tightly glaring coldly at Syaoran. He was surprised to see that this young man didn't become unnerved under his glare. He was about to say more when Sakura walked around corner. She gasped seeing that her family was ganging up on him.
"Syaoran" she spoke walking over to him. Kenji didn't miss the way her face lit up seeing this Syaoran. " I can see that you've already met auntie Celina and uncle Han" Syaoran shook his head gracing her with a smile. Sakura's heart seemed to do somersaults seeing it.
"Yeah. They were just making sure I was in your best interest" he answered in an aristocratic tone. Sakura shook her head when her helper, Rose, came down the stairs with her things. "I've decided that I'm going to take you to the beach. Why don't you grab your bathing suit?"
"Okay. Come I'll show you where my room is" Sakura took Syaoran's hand and pulled him towards the stairs. Kenji was about to object but kept his mouth closed. He knew in the end he would have Sakura. He had never heard of a Li Syaoran, his family was very influential so therefore he knew anyone who was anyone.
"I think we should tell her about the engagement" Celina spoke in a tight tone. Kenji looked up and shook his head.
"There's no need for that as yet. We'll tell her when the time is right but not now. Han we need to discuss the merger of our companies" Kenji spoke walking over to Han's desk. He was worried about Sakura but he would deal with that later. This was after all a more important subject.
"Yes we need to go over that with great detail" Han shook his head in agreement. They knew that when Sakura turned twenty-one the company and all it's affairs would be turned over to her. They had to make sure they had a secure hold on everything, which was the reason why they took her when her parents died suddenly.
"I'm sorry for the way they acted" Sakura apologized when they walked into her room. She closed the door behind her, and walked over to her closet. This was the first time Syaoran had been in her room. It looked like the kind of room a rich girl would have; it was laid out in a French style, and colors of pale pink and cream.
"Don't worry about it" Syaoran replied watching her from the mirror. She grabbed her pink bathing suit, and he smiled. He waited until she was out of the bathroom before he talked again. "I can see you love pink" Sakura laughed shaking her head as she grabbed a bag then stuffed a towel, sun block, a sundress and sunglasses in it.
"Okay. I'm ready" she smiled walking towards the door. "One of these days I'll give you a grand tour of my house then you can give me one of yours" she smiled taking his hand. They walked down the hall together, they weren't officially going out but Syaoran decided that he was going to make it official today.
He knew he shouldn't ask her out until he told her everything about himself but he wanted her to be his. Sakura was surprised to see that Han, Kenji and Celina weren't in the hallway when they came down stairs. "They know I'm leaving" she spoke heading towards the door.
They got in his car, buckling up. She opened her mouth but Syaoran beat her to it. "I know, I know don't speed" she laughed guiltily buckling up. Syaoran pulled off really slowly not going over five.
"That's not very funny" she whined playfully slapping him on the arm. He laughed pulling off, heading towards the gate Sakura turned on the radio. Relaxing in the seat she sighed contentedly, not noticing when Syaoran glanced at her. "Syaoran?"
"Hmmm? When am I going to meet your family and friends?" she asked softly wondering why he hadn't introduced her to any of his friends. Syaoran frowned slightly; he knew that eventually this was going to come up.
"My cousin Mei Lin is out of town along with my best friend. When they get back I'll make sure you meet them" he answered knowing that he was telling a lie. Sakura shook her head, a soft smile touching her lips.
"Okay. Are you still going to escort me to Ai Ling's party?"
"Of course. I told you I would go with you," he answered having already asked his boss off for that night. Every day he told himself that he was going to tell her the truth then something else would come up and he couldn't bring himself to do so.
"What are we going to do when school starts up again?" she asked suddenly catching him off guard. He hadn't as yet thought about that, he knew that she would have to leave in three weeks to return to college in England.
"We'll discuss that. Nothing will change for me," he answered reaching for her hand. She looked at him and smiled. Syaoran let go of her hand so he could shift and turn off the road. Sakura looked up when they came to the private beach.
Turning the car off Syaoran got out. Grabbing the blanket he had, he knew that there would be a place for them to buy food so he hadn't packed a lunch. "It's beautiful here" she smiled turning to look at him.
"I thought you would love it" taking her hand they walked off heading towards the clear blue water. There hadn't been a lot he could do with her because she was not used to anything too adventurous. She wasn't used to his kind of life, that's why he was afraid of telling her the truth.
"Are you sure this is safe Syaoran?" she asked seeing the type of people that were on the beach. There was loud music, and people dressed like gangsters. Syaoran looked at what she was looking at but only saw his people.
"It's okay. Trust me" he assured taking her hand. Sakura wasn't so sure but she trusted him so she walked beside him. She tried to act normal but she was scared, she had never been in surroundings like this.
The group of people who were on the beach looked at them when they passed, "Hey man" a guy, who had a lot of tattoos on his body, called out to Syaoran.
"Hey" Syaoran called back waving. He didn't flinch when Sakura's nails practically drew blood from his arm. The guy got up from where he was sitting and walked towards them.
"Syaoran" she whispered fearfully. He was starting to think that this wasn't a good idea. If she couldn't handle being around people like Joe, how the hell was she going to handle dealing with how he made a living?
"Hey man. I haven't seen you at the Beach House in a long time" the man smiled as he and Syaoran did a complicated handshake.
"I've been busy" Syaoran smiled, "I'll drop by this Friday" he noticed when Joe raised his brows and he laughed. "Sakura, this is Joe. Joe Sakura"
"Hey beautiful" Joe smiled holding out his hand. Sakura shook his hand, and the only reason she did that was because of damn etiquette.
"Hi" she smiled shakily. She couldn't believe Syaoran knew people like this, and he was actually nice to them. They were the kinds of people they were told to avoid because they would cause them harm.
"I'll be waiting to see you. we have to talk" Sakura watched him walk off before she left out a breath. Looking at Syaoran, she smiled softly shaking her head.
"And to think you're rich? One wouldn't think so when you know people like this" she joked looking at the beach. "Come on, the water looks great" he frowned slightly wondering what she would think of him when she saw where it was that he came from.
Shaking that thought from his head, he knew she wouldn't be so cruel. And if she was when she found out then they weren't meant to be together. He held firmly unto her hand as they made their way across the sand. "You want to go swimming now?" he asked taking his shirt off then his pants.
"Sure" she smiled taking off her shorts and shirt. Syaoran's mouth nearly dropped open looking at her body; it was perfectly shaped with all the curves in the right places. "You like?" she giggled when his eyes came to hers.
"Love is more like it," he answered catching her off guard. Syaoran walked over to her, and touched her face gently. Sakura looked into his eyes wondering what was happening. "I was going to wait to ask you later but I want to ask now"
"Ask me what?" she whispered feeling her heart beat speed up. He looked at her lips moving closer to her face he looked her in the eyes.
"Would you be my girl?" she was so surprised that she almost pulled away from him. She couldn't believe she was hearing him right.
"I would love that," she answered with a bright smile. Syaoran smirked gently pressing his lips against hers. Sakura moved into him, her hands glued to her side. He touched her cheek, gently parting her lips with his tongue.
Sakura gasped in shock and pleasure as the kiss deepened. Syaoran pulled her tiny body to his full length getting lost in her sweetness. The salty sea breeze blew against their bodies but they didn't budge. Gently they pulled away from each other. She took in a deep breath as a soft smile touched her lips. "You haven't any idea how long I've been wanting to do that" he confessed, Sakura couldn't help but laugh.
"I think we've been waiting for the same amount of time" she replied touching his cheek. She didn't express what she felt at the moment. "Come on. Let's go swimming" he took her hand and together they walked toward the cool ocean water.
People looked up from what they were doing when a scream echoed back to them. Sakura's laugh was drowned out when she went underneath the water. Pushing herself to the surface, she pouted moving her hair off her face. "Mou that was mean"
"I'm sorry. Come here" he held out his arms for her but Sakura just splashed him instead. "Have it your way" he got out lunging at her. She yelped pushing back in the water, he laughed grabbing a hold of her and pulling her towards him. "I'm never letting you go"
"You had better not" she replied wrapping her arms around his neck. He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss against her lips. "Salty" she giggled cutely. He smiled knowing that he could listen to her laughter for the rest of his life. But first he would have to find a way to tell her about himself.
It's looks like my cousin isn't going to show up" Mei Lin sighed leaning against the railing. She saw a couple making their way up the stairs and wished that it could be her. The beach house was usually fun but not this time. They were trying to reach Syaoran to tell him that they had to head out of town for some races tonight but they couldn't get a hold of him.
"You want me to take you home?" Jamie asked from behind. He used to live at the same place as Syaoran but he had moved out. He didn't know why he was still living there; all he had to do was find a roommate like him.
"Yeah. I have to pack my shit anyways. I hope Tomoyo is home" Mei Lin sighed softly. Tomoyo was her roommate; she was harboring the idea that soon she was going to move in with her current boyfriend. "If I had known he wasn't going to be here I wouldn't have come"
"Don't worry I'm sure he has a good reason for not answering his answering his phone. Come on, I'll take you home" Mei Lin shook her head and walked off with Jamie. She prayed that Syaoran hadn't gotten himself in trouble so doing something stupid.
Syaoran…
Sakura held unto his hand as they walked towards his car. They had gone for lunch and ice cream but now she had go home so she could get ready for Honda's party. This would be the first time they attended a party together as a couple. Absently she wondered if the Honda's would know Syaoran. "What's on your mind?" Syaoran asked softly when they came to his car.
"Just thinking about tonight," she answered when he opened the door for her. Tiptoeing she placed a sweet kiss on his lips.
"Hmmm vanilla" he whispered tasting her again. She smiled in the kiss parting her lips to welcome the gentle thrusting of his tongue. A moan escaped her as she become lost in sweet bliss. When they pulled apart he gave her a soft peck. "Come on I have to take you home. You have to be ready by a certain time don't you?"
"Yeah" she smiled getting in. Syaoran sat down and checked his messages. Seeing that Jamie and Mei Lin had tried to call him he frowned knowing that it must have been important. Speed dialing Jamie's number he waited for an answer.
It's about time" Jamie said answered. Syaoran glanced at Sakura who was eating. Feeling his eyes on her she stuck out her tongue at him cutely.
"What up?" he asked taking her hand in his. Sakura gave it a gentle squeeze; she couldn't express what it was that she felt when she was with him. He was so different from the people who she grew up with, yet he was apart of her world.
"The Boss wants us to fly to Hong Kong. We're to test run his newest car in front of potential clients. We're to leave at midnight," Jamie answered making Syaoran frown. Sakura told him that these parties usually ran really late. He didn't want to leave her on their first outing as a couple.
"At the private lot?" he asked with a slight frown on his lips. The boss told him that this job would be enough for his first semester payments.
"Yeah. We'll meet you there"
"Aight" Sakura looked at him hearing the change in his voice.
"What's the matter?" she asked when he hung up. She could tell that something was wrong; she wondered if that was some kind of business call.
"I have to fly out tonight on business," he answered softly making her frown slightly. She looked down briefly; she hadn't thought he would be the one to leave when she needed him. This was something she should have expected since as he was just like the rest of them.
"Does that mean you won't be able to accompany me?" he could hear the sadness in his voice. Looking at her he smiled taking her tiny hand in his.
"No I'll accompany you. I just have to leave at ten thirty that's all" he answered, a smile instantly touched Sakura's lips.
"We'll leave at ten so you can drop me home. I don't want to stay there if you aren't. It won't be any fun without you"
"Okay" he started the car and pulled out. Syaoran made sure not to too fast, knowing that she didn't like it. It was a change for him because all the women he dealt with in the past they loved when he raced down the road.
Later in the night…
Mei Lin sat on her baby, the car, and watched Syaoran as he walked out of the house. She couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him. "Oh my god what happened to you?" she asked, Syaoran frowned glaring at her angrily. "Which girl got you in a tux?" she asked thinking how handsome he looked at the moment.
"Her name is Kinomoto Sakura" she sobered having heard that name before. Seeing the look of understanding her eyes he shook his head, "Yes K Corp's heiress" Mei Lin's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
"Does she know?" seeing the look in Syaoran's eyes her heart tightened. "When are you going to tell her?" she slid off her car and stood in front of him. "Xiao Lang?" she spoke in Chinese using his real name.
"Don't call me that," he whispered looking in her eyes. Mei Lin frowned; she knew he hated where he came from and what his mother had gone through because of him. "I'll tell her, I'm just waiting for the right time"
"Tell her soon make sure she doesn't find out from someone else's lips" saying that she smiled shaking her head. "She must be something if you haven't told her yet" she muttered straightening Syaoran's tie.
"She is. She wants to meet you when we return"
"I can't wait. You bess get going if you don't want to be late," she said softly. Syaoran was about to get into his car when a police car pulled up. They sighed having a pretty good idea who it was. The car pulled to a stop and a man got out. "Well hello commissioner, what do we owe this pleasure?" she smiled sweetly.
"I just want to check up on my two favorite characters. Just making sure you aren't getting in any trouble" he answered when Yelen walked out her door.
"I can assure you that my children aren't getting in any trouble. Why don't you come in and talk to me? My Syaoran has an important appointment" she spoke sternly making the commissioner shake his head. "You get going now," she said to Syaoran who smiled winking at her.
"I'll see you in two days mother" he called waving to her. "I'll meet you at the airport at eleven thirty"
"Yeah don't go breaking any hearts" she smiled touching his jacket. Stepping back, she watched him get in his car. When he pulled off she sighed heading towards the house. She hoped that everything would turn out good. "I hope she doesn't break your heart too" she whispered remembering all the girls that had walked over him because of his kindness.
The Honda's Party…
Ai Ling and a group of girls stood over in the corner talking about the most wanted bachelors in Tokyo. "I can't believe he's interested in her. She doesn't even want him, I wouldn't mind having Horaki Kenji"
"Last I heard she was seeing some Li Heir. That family name is really popular; they have so much money that people don't know everyone in the family. I wondered which branch he's from" another spoke softly. Ai Ling frowned wondering how this Li looked, she was glad that Sakura was interested in somebody because that gave her a chance to be with Kenji.
"Here she comes now" everyone quieted when they took notice of Sakura. Everyone made note that she was glowing. Her long tresses was left flowing about her, it curled cutely at the ends. She was clad in a green gown that matched her eyes perfectly. In short she was stunning, Ai Ling wished she would trip so she could make a fool of herself.
"Hello everyone" Sakura smiled looking at her friends. This was by far the best party she had ever been to. And of course that was so because Syaoran was here with her. She left him over to the other side with men who were intently listening to him on what was currently going on in the government.
"Well aren't you glowing?" Rika, a very good friend of hers joked. Sakura's cheeks turned cherry knowing that her friend meant. "So where is he?"
"He's talking with uncle and a bunch of gentlemen on the government" she answered with pride. Syaoran was amazing, he was a refined gentleman who knew how to handle street people and talk like them.
"Oh. Well isn't he just fabulous" another spoke, Sakura smiled shaking her head. She looked at Ai Ling, who seemed as if she wasn't having a good time.
"What's the matter Ai Ling?" she asked worriedly. Her best friend looked at her and smiled sweetly.
"I'm just thinking that's all" she answered softly but Sakura could tell that something was wrong with her. Deciding not to press it in public she tried paying attention to her friends who were chatting about the latest gossip.
"Oh look at that hunk heading towards us," one of her friends suddenly whispered drawing everyone's attention to the man heading towards them. Sakura turned and felt her heart flutter looking at her amazing boyfriend.
"I was looking for you" Syaoran smiled stopping in front of her. The girls around Sakura mouths almost dropped open.
"You've found me" she smiled gently when he took her hand. She could tell that she was the envy of mostly every single girl in the room. She loved every bit of it, this was the first time she wanted to be envied. "Syaoran I want to introduce you to my friends. Ladies Li Syaoran" Syaoran graced them with a charming smile, and the girls felt their hearts flutter. All of them curtsied like the polished ladies they were.
"It's a pleasure to be introduced to such fine ladies. If you'll excuse us, I would like to steal Sakura for a dance" they watched them walked in and sighed in envy.
"She's so lucky" one of them muttered. Ai Ling thought Sakura was being unfair; she needed to make Kenji see that she didn't want him. She wanted a chance to have him; it simply wasn't fair at all.
Did you see the looks on their faces?" Sakura laughed softly as they moved to a waltz. Syaoran grinned at the happiness in her voice. "God I've never had this much fun at a party like this in a long time.
"We can do it again if makes you so happy" he teased; Sakura flushed and rested her hand against his chest. Sighing in content she closed her eyes. She knew that he had to go soon, and she didn't want him to leave.
"What can I do to make you stay with me all night?" she whispered softly. Syaoran frowned knowing that he had to go. His dreams depended on him pleasing his boss; there was nothing that could keep him from leaving.
"I'll just be gone for one night. You fall asleep tonight, then again tomorrow night and I'll be here the morning when you wake up," he whispered caressing her hair. She moved her head in understanding. Syaoran looked up feeling someone's eyes on them only to see Kenji staring at them from the other side of the room. He knew he had strong feelings for Sakura, and it was clear that Sakura didn't return those feelings.
He glanced at his watch and saw that they had another hour before they would have to leave. Sakura opened her eyes after making up her mind. "I want to go home now," she said surprising him.
"Are you sure?" he asked softly, she looked at his face and shook her head.
"Yes. I would rather spend those minutes with you than here. Come on" she took his hand in hers and led him off the dance floor. Syaoran followed her looking around them, he didn't feel right in such a place as this. He felt like he was some kind of intruder, sure he was sort of born to this kind of world but that didn't mean he was to be in it. He was the bastard son of a wealthy Li man, who was married.
When they came to Sakura's family, Syaoran ignored the automatic glares aimed at him. "We're going to leave now. Syaoran has to go out of town on business" Sakura said softly to her aunt, who looked shocked hearing that come from her lips.
"Make sure you're home when we arrive" Celina spoke in a fake tone. Syaoran knew that they didn't like or trust him. If he were to be found out they would be the ones to ruin what he had with Sakura.
"I will be. Good night uncle Han, Paul-san" she smiled at their host. The older man smiles warmly at her and held out his hand for Syaoran.
"It was a pleasure meeting you Li. I look forward to talking more with you" Paul spoke shaking Syaoran's hand.
"Likewise Honda-san" he replied. "I'll make sure she gets home safe," he said to her family. They watched them leave in silence; Kenji had to control the flexing of his fist. He didn't like seeing Syaoran touch Sakura, and wanted nothing more than to knock the bastard out. He was waiting for his time, he knew that Li Syaoran was not who he claimed to be.
Syaoran pulled to a stop in front of Sakura's house. She unbuckled and looked at him, "Come on up" she spoke the three words he hadn't thought she would say. He knew not to think of it as that way but it was the way she said it.
"You sure?" he asked softly. She smiled at him getting up. He turned off his car and got out; locking it he walked through the door with her.
"Mistress" the butler said taking Sakura's cape. "Mr. Li" he greeted taking Syaoran's jacket.
"Hey" he hailed the man following Sakura up the stairs slowly. He knew the way to her room, when they walked into the room Sakura latched the door. Walking over to her bed, she turned on her lamp.
"Syaoran" she said softly making him look in her direction. She was pulling hairpins out of her hair, accomplishing that she ran her hand through it.
"Hmmm?" he said loosening his tie. It was becoming suddenly hot in the room, and it was due to the way Sakura moved and how she called his name.
"Can you help me out of my dress?" she asked cutely. He hated the tone in her voice; walking over to her he gently pulled her zipper down. Sakura allowed her dress to fall to her ankles before she stepped out of it. Taking off her shoes, she sat on her bed. "What's the matter?" she asked worriedly seeing the strained look on his face.
"You don't know what you're doing to me" he replied in a pained tone. Laughing softly she walked over to him, and wrapped her around his neck.
"It's working?" she whispered looking deeply into his eyes.
