Summary: Despite their refusals, Syaoran and Sakura have no choice but to work together, as actors. Sakura and Syaoran despise each other. But when jealousy, pain and threats arise, will their feelings change? Will their romantic scenes be just acting?

Readers: Hiya guys :D I'm soooo sorry it's been forever since I've updated, but I have exams this week and next week to stress over. I'll try and update so sorry if the chapters are short or whatever. Thank-you so much to all of the people that reviewed… it means a lot to me. Anyways, on to the story.

~*From The Last Chapter*~

           

            You mean this white chocolate chip sugar cookie? The same kind of cookie you stole from me the last time we made a trip to this mall?" Sakura asked the same grin on her face. Syaoran merely nodded. Sakura smiled sweetly and took a bite. "You have no cookie," she said, her mouth full of the cookie. Syaoran kicked her from underneath the table and Sakura threw a napkin at him while Tomoyo and Eriol laughed at watched. The rest of their trip at the mall was a happy one. The most memorable moment about this trip is when Sakura was looking into one of the fountains and fell in. Syaoran tried to be heroic save her, but ended up falling in as well. They all groaned in despair but ended up laughing it off. All in all, this trip was the best any of them had ever had. But all good things must come to an end. And just like Sakura said… the façade must continue.

Just Acting?

[*-Chapter Six-*]

            Sakura sat up straight in a chair. She wore a light pink quarter length shirt and black skirt that reached her knees. Her hair was delicately pulled back into a braid, with a few natural bans framing her face. At that moment, when Sakura turned the page she was reading from a novel, Syaoran walked in. He wore baggy black pants and a forest green polo shirt; his hair was messy as always. Syaoran pulled out a chair and sat backwards in it, facing Sakura.

            "You told me to prove to you that I love you… you told me that things can never be the same between us. But…" Syaoran whispered trailing off as he leaned in. Sakura looked up from her book startled, and looked into his exquisite amber eyes. The shock had vanished and a firm yet soft gaze was set upon him.

            "Lian… it's true. There is nothing you can do to take back the things that happened," Sakura said sighing looking down slightly before looking back up, a defiant look in her eyes. She shut her book sharply and began to walk out of the door when Syaoran, aka Lian, grabbed her wrist and pulled her close towards him.

            "Hikari… I do love you, and I honestly want to be with you. I would shout it out to the world," Syaoran whispered desperately, the longing for her evident in his eyes. "But… I just don't know how to prove to it you," Syaoran whispered once more as he leaned his forehead unto hers.

            "That's just the thing Lian… if you really loved me… and honestly loved me… wouldn't you have been able to think of something? Think of anything?" Sakura breathed. 'Oh God… why is it getting so hot… his eyes… they're so… captivating… What the hell am I thinking?!' Sakura thought to herself.

            "Will this prove it to you?" Syaoran murmured before capturing her lips in a breath taking kiss. Sakura was reluctant at first, but slowly gave in, throwing her arms around his neck.

            "Aaaaaaaaaaaaand cut!" Yamazaki cried, signaling for the two actors to stop that scene which they did immediately.

            "Sakura-chan, you have a visitor," Chiharu said, a tall man who was still in the shadows. Sakura noticed this and had her guard up. Sakura walked towards him, got one good look at him and then walked away immediately.

            "Sakura… come on! You've given him a second chance! Why not me?!" Etowa Ima said carrying more cherry blossoms in his hand, walking after her. (Refer to chapter one)

            "Because I hate you!" Sakura yelled over her shoulder as she stormed out of the building. Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran followed her, watching their actions intently.

            "Don't do a thing to interfere Syaoran… they need to fight about this. Sakura's been running for far too long," Eriol whispered to his friend. Syaoran nodded sharply, but it seemed as if at any moment Syaoran would attack.

[.. Sakura and Etowa ..]

            "Everyone makes mistakes Sakura, can't you just forgive me?" Etowa said angrily and pleadingly at the same time, throwing the flowers on the ground.

            "Yeah! And mine was even thinking that I might have loved you!" Sakura said turning to face him. She had reached her car. 'No more running Sakura…'

            "What I did was wrong I know that! But—" Etowa yelled.

            "But nothing! You killed her and made her think that I did it! Then you threaten and go after the man I loved for so long just to keep my mouth shut?!" Sakura said the tears welling up again.

            "She was hurting you! I didn't want to see you hurt! And him?! He had to be moved out of the way so I could have you," Etowa said again, attempting to put his arms around her. Sakura pushed him back with such force that he almost fell to the ground.

            "If you really loved me like how claimed, you would have let me go. And I was just fooling the both of us. I thought that maybe if I got into a relationship, my feelings for him would vanish. But don't you see? They were just magnified. Over the years I've lost my love for him and just gotten to like him as a friend, if that. YOU RUNIED MY LIFE!" Sakura screamed the tears falling.

            "I don't care! As long as I can have you," Etowa said maniacally.

            "You did have me. Then you lost me. And then you… you made me do things with you I didn't want to do. If you love me how could you have raped me?" Sakura whispered deathly low.

            "It isn't considered rape if you wanted it," Etowa said back to her smirking.

            "YOU THINK I WANTED TO SLEEP WITH YOU?!" Sakura screamed shocked, bewildered, pissed off, you name it. Those emotions were there. "Guess again asshole. I'm tired of running away from you and being the damsel in distress. It's about time the truth came out," Sakura spat as she got in her car and drove away. Etowa just stood there rooted to the ground in shock, chills flowing up and down his spine. Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol ran into their cars and followed Sakura. She was heading to their secret spot as children whenever they were in Kyoto.

            "Chouwa (refer to chapter 1), Amy (refer to chapter 3) … we have to act fast. I knew she was getting fed up, but I didn't think she would go to this extreme," Etowa whispered as two girls stepped out of the shadows.

            "Of course Master Ima," both girls said monotonously, their eyes blank.

To Be Continued…
