"Sakura-chan! Look outside, I think were in China!" Tomoyo exclaimed happily. She leaned back so that her friend could peer outside of the window. Sakura got a view of the outside. It was breathtaking from her view. Hidden behind the snow-white clouds lay the city of Hong Kong. Skyscrapers touched the sky and the cars looked like ants. So many colors were flying past her. The lower they got the more detail Sakura could see. "Wow…" Sakura said in a small voice. "My thoughts exactly!" Tomoyo said with a smile. "Everyone…" One of the stewardess appeared with a microphone in hand. "Welcome to Hong Kong, China."
Chapter One: Meeting the Li Clan
Tomoyo and Sakura couldn't keep their eyes in their heads. They even found the airport interesting. Especially Sakura who had never left her hometown Tomeda. They gathered their many suitcases and went to wait outside, Kakera told them that a personal servant of the Li's would comet to pick them up.
Outside of the airport was not sunny and beautiful like it had been in Tomeda…no it was raining. The rain poured from the sky like water from a gourd. It had only been a few minutes the two had to stand in the rain but they were already soaked to the bone.
An older man with a gray mustache walked up to the two and bowed to them. "Are you Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji?" The two nodded their heads not sure who this man was. "I was sent from the Li Clan to pick you up. I am sorry about the weather. We will get you a change of clothes as soon as we arrive." The man continued with a smile covering his wrinkled face. Sakura and Tomoyo followed him into a slick black limousine waiting out front of the airport-just for them. The man opened the door for them and they slid in. Then they were on their way. "Um excuse me…I don't mean to be rude but may I ask your name sir?" The driver chuckled a bit. "Oh excuse my manners. I am Wei, servant to Xiaolang. He told me to pick up two new maids that would be working at the Li mansion. But can I ask why you came all the way to Hong Kong just to become maids?" Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged glances, hoping one would know a legitimate excuse. But they each wore blank expressions. "Well you see…" Tomoyo started. Wei sensed the uneasiness between them and waved off the question. "Ah you don't have to tell me if you don't feel safe doing so. I respect your privacy." He said with a smile. Sakura held her heart and secretly thanked God.
After a silent ride they arrived in front of the Li mansion. The only words Sakura could describe it was ookii (big). "You mean this is where we are going to be working?" Sakura asked excitedly. "Yes Sakura." Wei said smiling and her led them to the front door. He led them inside which shocked them more. "OOKII!" Sakura almost screamed. Tomoyo looked around dreamily, this was what she wanted her dream home to be like!
"Wei? Are you back so soon?" A voice asked from one of the corridors. They heard footsteps and a young boy about Sakura's age walked in on the scene. He had messy brown hair and chocolate colored eyes which Sakura was lost in. She couldn't pull herself away even if she tried. When the young Li Clan Leader saw the auburn haired maid he blushed. Because of the rain Sakura's close were soaked and sticking to her skin. He could see all of her curves. Wei walked up to him and bowed. "Yes young Master. This is Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo." Nice to meet you. Wei c-could you show these young ladies to their rooms and show them t-t-their new uniforms? They must be cold from the rain." Xiaolang Li told the two girls disguising his blush with his coldness. Sakura frowned at the tone of his voice. He didn't look like the cold type to her. He looked sweet and loving. What would make him act like that? Then she remembered…
Xiaolang really doesn't warm up to a lot of people. He's lived such a drama filled life you can't really blame him."
Those were the words Kakera told her. She now felt sympathetic for the young leader…and also wanted to closer to him…
Wei bowed to Xiaolang and beckoned for the girls to follow him around a corner. Sakura took one last long look at the sorrowful leader. His eyes showed that he was unhappy, somehow, even though they just met Sakura wanted to make him happy. She wanted to see what his eyes would look like then.
"Sakura-chan…" Sakura felt a tug at her shoulder as Tomoyo followed on her. She followed her friend leaving Xiaolang in the entry hall.
Xiaolang stared at the retreating girl's figure as long as he could. And for a split second there was a glint in his eye. "Sakura…" He whispered as he turned down another hall.
"And this will be your rooms. They're connected to the Servants Hall." Wei showed them their rooms and each other them entered. It was small plainly, a dresser, a mirror, and a bed. Sakura sighed, she didn't want to live as a maid. But Tomoyo found it exciting and adventurous, sometimes Sakura didn't understand her. "Now your daily uniforms are on the beds, you have half an hour to get ready then go to the kitchen and meet a girl named Minla, she'll show you what to do. Tell then." Wei walked out of Sakura's room and closed the door. Tomoyo smiled at her friend and sat on Sakura's bed.
"Wow Sakura! Were really undercover cops! They don't suspect a thing. Were just ordinary maids to them! Sakura you're gonna look so kawaii in you uniform!" Sakura sweatdropped. Come on we better get down there, we don't want to screw up, meet me downstairs in a few minutes." Sakura told her in a whisper. Tomoyo nodded and left her room to go into her own.
Sakura quickly changed and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the typical maids uniform, black and white with an apron. She sighed. "It feels like we've gone back into time almost. So old fashion." She hurried down the servants hall and saw her partner waiting for her patiently. "Gomen Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura apologized in her own language. Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "KAWAII!" She said in a loud whisper, Sakura shook her head with a smile. She had one interesting friend. "Come on…were suppose to find some lady named Minla right?" Tomoyo asked as she touched the doors that led to the kitchen. "Hai." Sakura replied and they both walked in.
They stepped into a huge, bright, crowded kitchen with counters nearly about every where. Everyone was working, working hard and quick to prepare the Li's meal. "Wow…were protecting a very important family…" Tomoyo whispered into Sakura's ear, Sakura could only nod in response.
Everyone was working, all but an elderly lady who was sitting on a stool holding a small hand carved cane. She spotted the two and limped over to them. "Are you two Sakura and Tomoyo?" They both nodded. "Good…I'm Minla, I've been assigned to you two. That means I'll tell you what you're daily chores are. I believe we will get along just well just don't complain about how hard the work is okay?" Minla asked in a semi-strict voice. The two nodded again. "Good, now you all are going serve the dinner to the Li's. Now here are the Do's and Don'ts.
Do: Bow, bow before leaving, stay a minute after they have received their food.
Don't: Call them by their first names! Its either Master for Xiaolang or Mistress for Yelan and Missies for Master Xiaolang's sisters. And call Shinlo Young Master! Don't speak unless spoken to, don't get in their way, if called on don't hesitate!
Do you both got that?" Minla asked narrowing her eyes. "Yes ma'am." Minla smiled. "I like that…respect for you're elders. You two will do just fine. Now you, Tomoyo. Go and inform them that it is time to eat! AND BOW YOUR HEAD BEFORE SPEAKING AND DURING SPEAKING!" Minla scowled. Tomoyo nodded and left the big kitchen. "Ah! And you Sakura...*hehe* Ying-Fa." Minla said in a hoarse laughter catching Sakura off guard,. "Ying-Fa…?" She asked the laughing old woman. "Ying-Fa is your Chinese name, a very cute one I must say." Sakura smiled. "Arigato-er…thank you!" Minla stopped laugh and turned to Sakura with a serious expression. "Now your job is to set the tables, they should be in the Dining Room by now, and please do not break any of the china." "Yes ma'am." Sakura bowed and grabbed a stack of plates. Each one had a Chinese symbol on it. She winked towards the elderly lady and walked out of the kitchen doors. Minla smiled. "Those two are way to pretty to be working this job…" Minla sighed and went back to her work at one of the counters making bread.
Sakura entered the Dining Room careful to make sure the fine plates did not wobble. She found Tomoyo in the corner watching the famous family eat. There was an graceful woman probably in her late 40s and four younger women. Sakura guessed they were Xiaolang's sisters. Then she saw Xiaolang. He heart skipped a few beats as she stared for a second. "Sakura…" Tomoyo hissed from the corner of the room. Sakura looked up and smiled at the group acting as if nothing had happened. She smiled to the youngest at the table who looked identical to Xiaolang. He glared at her and scoffed. Her smile was bigger.
That HAS to be Shinlo. She thought to herself. She served the dinner plates and bowed her head to the group. She wasn't aware of a pair of eyes boring into her. Xiaolang looked was staring at Sakura, not caring if he was seen. Yelan cleared her throat getting her son's attention. Sakura bowed, still smiling. Shinlo hated her already.
Humph! Look at her. Smiling dumbly and acting like she's a high and mighty. The nerve of her! Does she not know who were are? And what her position is? Shinlo glared at her, Sakura may of seen the hate in his eyes but either way, she kept smiling. Tomoyo nudged her side and they both bowed again before exciting.
"Let us eat." Yelan told her family. "Yes!" They all agreed and began to gracefully eat the meal the was prepared for them.
"We have new servants!" Fanren, one of Xiaolang's sisters exclaimed happily. Xiaolang scoffed. "Why are you all so happy? Their just servants." Yelan gave her son a 'the look'. (A/N: If you don't know what 'The Look' is then you are REALLY lucky! I get it all the time!) "Xiaolang…" "Sorry mother." He said looking down at his plate, his eyes full of coldness. Shinlo cleared his throat.
"Um…dad. I have a question." "What is it Shinlo?" Xiaolang said, more like mumbled. He didn't even make eye contact with his son, but Shinlo was use to this though, his father never showed him any affection. He was always to busy with training, scolding him, working out matters, and anything else that came before him. "Well…um. You see I was wondering if I could go to the movies tomorrow?" Shinlo asked with high hopes. His dad looked at him. "Tomorrow is a school day…" He stated.
"Dad! I'm being tutored! That doesn't matter." Shinlo argued. "That still doesn't make it any different. So my answer is no Shinlo. You should be sword training in your spare time. Remember what happened in our last 'fight'." Xiaolang reminded him while waving his fork around. Shinlo timidly touched a small pink scar on his right cheek. "But dad-" "No buts! End of discussion." Xiaolang said ending Shinlo's whining. Siefen shook her head at the sight. "Xiao. Don't you think you're being a little tough on poor little Shinlo?"
"I am not poor and I am not little aunt Siefen!" Shinlo argued while crossing his arms. He hated when anyone made him sound less of a man. "Shinlo do not speak to your aunt in that tone and Siefen. He needs to train to become this Clan's future leader. We can not have a weak leader Siefen!" Xiaolang said defensively. He believed that he was doing what has best for his son, training him. He could not have a weak son, it would make him and the others of the Clan a laughing stock. Siefen wasn't even going to try to argue, she knew how stubborn her younger brother could be and she wasn't about to engage in war during dinner. Xiaolang turned his head to the doorway towards where Sakura and her friend had just left, he had to find out more about that mysterious angel who appeared out of no where.
***
"Minla! We've finished our first task. What should we do now?" Tomoyo asked while her head was bowed, she was brought up to show all respect for the elders. "My my my, that was quick. I have nothing for you to do for today. You might want to go to your rooms and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow you will be overwhelmed in chores I'm afraid." Minla told the two with a smile." "Thank you, and good night Minla." Sakura told her with a smile, she had enough excitement for a day, although it was just 8 P.M she yearned to fall into a soft mattress and drift off into a deep sleep. "Just be sure to be up at 6." "Yes ma'am."
And they both walked to their rooms. Tomoyo was giggling down the Servants Hall. "What is so funny Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked. "We are in China Sakura- chan! Isn't this just…unbelievable?" She asked while smiling. "But look at our position." Sakura said through a mumble. "Speaking of 'positions'…we need to run a quick check through the town tonight at midnight each night." Tomoyo informed.
"Why midnight?" Sakura asked with a questionable look on her face. "Well the last two bombs took place at midnight and so Kakera-kun wants us to check around ya know." Sakura nodded understanding. "Okay, so we'll meet at the end of this hall, don't forget your pepper spray, gun, and revolver." "What about flashlights?" "Yeah those to-but the pocket sized one okay." "All right Sakura-chan, see ya in a few hours." "Hai!" Sakura replied.
***
"Sakura-chan…Sakura-chan wake up!" A voice hissed. Sakura just mumbled and turned over. "Sakura wake up onegai?!" The voice hissed a little louder. "Dad…Just give me one more hour…" Sakura said in her sleep relieving her past. "SAKURA KINOMOTO!" The voice yelled in a whisper. Sakura still did not wake from her slumber. Tomoyo looked around the Sakura's small room, anything to wake her up. Then on her window cell she found a cigar. She figured it must of belonged to the room's former proprietor. She lit the lighter with the small lighter she had in her Tomeda Officer Uniform and put the cigar underneath her friend's nose. Sakura sat up within seconds. "KAKERA! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO SMOKE IN FRONT OF ME…Hoeeeee!" Sakura said realizing that she wasn't in her office but in a bed in a small room. "Tomoyo-chan…?" "Sakura, finally you're up!" Tomoyo sighed of relief as she threw the cigar out of the window. "Come on…it's 12 A.M we've got to get moving." Then it all came back to her. "R-right!" Tomoyo left the room to let her friend change into her uniform and gather her materials. Five minutes later Sakura walked fully dressed in her Tomeda Police Uniform out with a gun in hand. She cocked it and smiled at her friend. "Let's get this over with so I can go back to bed." "Right!" And the two snuck out of the mansion unnoticed.
"Hoe! It's pretty dark out here!" Sakura said fearfully Tomoyo giggled a little. "Don't worry Sakura, you shouldn't be afraid, we'll be done by an hour." "Oh! It's gonna take that long?" Sakura asked while whining. Tomoyo sweatdropped. "Um…Sakura-chan…if you haven't noticed Hong Kong is a big city."
Sakura turned a corner and waited for her best friend and partner join her. "So where do we start?" Sakura asked. "Anywhere! We just go in a big circle." Tomoyo replied in a whisper. "B-but what if we see some crime, like a robbery or murder?" Sakura asked, she thought it strange for police officers from a different country to make an arrest. "Well…we can't let them go free…we'll have to arrest them-well let's not worry about that, let's worry about our main problem." Sakura nodded and they began to sneak around the town.
By 12:45 A.M nothing had happened. They stopped and rested on a bench that was in front of a movie theater. "Tomoyo-chan?! Can we go back to the mansion now? It's almost one o'clock…unless my watch is broken…" Sakura said while peering at her watch. "Hai…you're right. I'm tired and we have to get up so early to. Let's go." Tomoyo agreed. They both stood up and dusted off their outfits. When…
BOOOM!
They both turned around and saw the explosion in cinema. All they could do was stare in horror at the orange fireball. The hid under the wooden bench and hoped for it to end soon. Sakura saw a piece of the construction building fly over head which scared her more, heck she had never been in a shut out. "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She yelled her favorite expression as loud as she could to get a grip of herself. A second later all was peaceful. Tomoyo was the first to get out of her hiding place. "Sakura…I think it's okay now…" She said in a small voice. Sakura slowly got out from under the bench as well and looked around. "W-what just happened?" She asked in a childlike voice. "I-I think we've just experienced one of Hong Kong's mysterious bombs!" Tomoyo said frightfully as she moved a lock of her ebony hair from her face. Then they heard the sounds of police and fire fighter sirens. They both exchanged glances and were out of there within a wink!
It was eight in the morning and the Li family was waiting to be served their breakfast while Xiaolang read the newspaper. "Hm…another bomb. Honesty they're only fire works what's so hard and dangerous about them?" He asked no one in particular. Sakura, who was serving the Li's breakfast tried hard not to smile.
'You have no idea how dangerous they are Xiaolang Li, you have no idea.' Sakura thought as she set down the Leader's bowl of soup and refilled his glass with orange juice. Xiaolang looked up and met her sparkling emerald eyes. "Thank you." Xiaolang said to the fresh maid. Sakura's eyes seem to sparkle anymore at those words. "You're welcome Master." She said and began to bounce in her step as served everyone's food. Shinlo glared at Sakura once more.
I HATE YOU…you-you maid! Shinlo yelled inwardly angrily at the plate that she had just set in front of him. "Father, I demand that we have this taste- tested." He said matter-of-factly. Fuutie gasped and Xiaolang gave him a look. Yelan stared blankly at him. "Why one Earth would you suggest such a thing Shinlo? This is only the girl's second day!" She said with her lips pressed in a thin line." "I don't trust this girl one bit Grandmother! The way she is smiling…like she could be up to something. For Heaven Sakes SHE could be the mysterious bomber!" He said in an angry voice. "Shinlo!" Xiaolang exclaimed in a surprised voice. Sakura shook her head and took a spoon from the table. "Do not worry Master, he has a right to be suspicious. I will do a taste test for you Young Master." Sakura, without hesitation dipped the spoon into the pool of vegetables and took a taste. She wiped of the spoon on her apron and smiled at the frowning young boy. "Don't worry Young Master, if I am not dead by now then it most defiantly is safe enough to eat. Enjoy." Sakura flashed a smile at everyone before leaving the room.
Sakura met Tomoyo in the laundry room folding clothes that were fresh from the dryer. "Tomoyo-chan…do you need any help?" Tomoyo looked up and smiled. "It would be appreciated Sakura-chan." The two always would talk in their own language when ever they were alone. Sakura sat herself on a plastic basket that could support her weight and began to fold laundry, after a few minutes of silence between the two Sakura chuckled a bit and Tomoyo gave her a curious look. "I'm was just thinking…" Sakura began thoughtfully. "Back in Tomeda you couldn't pay me to do the laundry. But now look at me, doing laundry for another family." Tomoyo giggled, it was true, Sakura would only do her laundry if she and Tomoyo were to do them together at the Coin Laundry Mat. "Well sometimes we have to learn how to do new things…like find love." Tomoyo slyly added the last part in. Sakura gave her a look and before she could interrogate what she meant she thought better of it. She sighed and looked at the ceiling. "You what I'm going to do when I get home Tomoyo-chan?" Tomoyo looked at her hopefully. "Start dating again?" She asked with sparkling eyes. Sakura gave her a look. "Heck no. I'm going to ask Kakera for a raise!" Tomoyo stared blankly at her before laughing. She threw a clean sock at her and Sakura also began to laugh.
***
"SHINLO!" Xiaolang said angrily. "I am sorry father, I didn't mean to, my hand just slipped." Shinlo hoped his father would forgive him. Xiaolang glared at him as he took a napkin to dab the soup stain from his *WHITE* shirt.
A few minutes after Sakura had left the room Shinlo had reached across the table for the salt and his arm accidentally knocked over his bowl, and half of the contents in the bowl splashed on his father. He was sure in it for now. Feimi shook her head. "No no no, that won't work little brother. Just go change your clothes all together." Xiaolang took his older sister's advice and excused himself from the table to get a change of clothes.
He walked down the empty hallway and into his master bedroom. He sighed heavily and stepped into his walk in closet to find a decent shirt. Just as he had stepped into the closet Sakura entered his room with a basket full of his clothes. She hummed to happily to herself as she set the basket on his bed and began to sort them (A/N: Socks, pants, shirts…) out. Xiaolang, who had heard someone enter his room walked out cautiously with a frown on his face. There he saw the angel who had walked into his life. Sakura continued humming quietly and turned around to put the pants she had just sorted through in the Master's closet. When she saw a pair of cinnamon colored eyes staring at her. She went through shock and dropped the bunch of pants on the green carpet. "HOOOOEEEE!" She cried out, after realizing who it was she went through a series of emotions. Embarrassment, shock, fright. Xiaolang picked out the clothes that lye on his ground and handed them to her. "Here." He plainly said. Sakura, who stood stiff noticed something…he wasn't wearing a shirt. She took the pants quickly and averted her eyes. "hoe!" She whispered with a blush planted on her nose. "I-I'm sorry Master, I should have knocked before I came in. I'm such a baka! Really! Please forgive me Master Xiaolang. It won't happen again I promise!" Sakura started rambling on and without knowing it she slipped into Japanese. Xiaolang, who knew the language found this very amusing. He chuckled lightly surprising Sakura. "Nani…?" She asked. "Nihongo (Japanese)" Xiaolang said with a smile. "Oh! Gomen, I mean sorry sorry." Sakura said finding it hard to switch back to the Chinese language. Xiaolang found this more amusing and Sakura smiled.
'He's smiling. He's really not such a bad guy after you get to know him.' Xiaolang cleared his throat and sat on his bed. "Do you want me to help you?" Sakura shook her head. "No no Master, this is my job. I wouldn't want you to be getting paid my money." Sakura said with a smile. Xiaolang chuckled.
'He's cute when he's smiling.' Sakura thought to herself watching the leader closely. Against Sakura's wishes he began to help put his own clothes in the correct places. Sakura thanked him and turned to go to the other rooms when he stopped her. "Miss…before you go. Can I talk to you about something?" Sakura really didn't want to reply with a yes, she was deathly afraid to tell the truth. "Of course Master." Sakura said and secretly yelling at herself within. "Thank you, please sit down." Xiaolang patted the space on the bed beside him and Sakura's eyes widened.
'He wants me to sit next to him? THAT CLOSE! There has to be some sort of mistake! AND he's not wearing a shirt! Hooe!' Sakura nodded dumbly and sat next to him. She then, began to feel claustrophobic.
Xiaolang himself began to feel weird inside and his stomach began to twist. Why had he suggested that she sit that close to him? Xiaolang, ignoring what he was feeling inside cleared his throat while the emerald-eyed girl looked at her hands.
"I just wanted to apologize about my son's actions this morning. He shouldn't have accused you of those bombs, or for trying to poison you. He can get a little out of hand sometimes. I just didn't want you to think ill of him." Sakura smiled. "Oh don't worry. I wasn't hurt by those words. It seems everyone is suspecting everyone of doing anything these days. We just can't be trusted these days." Xiaolang liked her smile, he like it a lot. It made him want to do it more often.
"May I ask your name?" He asked. He knew her name from when her friend had called her by it but he wanted to hear her name coming from her mouth. "My name is Sakura Kinomoto Master."
Xiaolang grinned. "Ying-Fa, it's a precious name." Sakura blushed. "Sakura, when we are alone I want you to make a promise to me." Xiaolang started. Sakura quickly met his eyes. 'What does he mean by 'When we are alone'? Does he want us to meet more? Oh he really is confusing me!'
"What is it Master?" She asked timidly. Xiaolang shook his head. "That's it, that's it right there. I get called 'Master' enough. From 13 and up I have been given that title but I want you to call me Syaoran when we are alone." Sakura gave him a confused look. "Why Syaoran?" Xiaolang smiled at him. "Syaoran is what my name in nihongo, Ying-Fa." "You want me to call you Syaoran…I don't think I can do that." Sakura stated wanting to leave- BADELY.
"Why is that?" Syaoran questioned. "Because, I am the employee, you are the employer. Not to forget that you are a quite powerful man." Sakura said without looking at him, she couldn't. "Ying-Fa, I-I think you should get to know the real me." Syaoran stuttered at first but then became confident. He wanted her as a friend.
"The real you…?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded. "Yes, what day do you get off Ying-Fa." "Minla said this Saturday was my day off, why?" Sakura was now deathly afraid of him, what did the Leader of the Li Clan want to do with her on a Saturday?" "How about, this Saturday, you and me go into town. You know, I'll show you around town and you'll be able to get to the know the REAL me. So you won't think of me as a 'master.'" "But you ARE my master!" Sakura tried to reason. Xiaolang put a finger to her lips and grinned at her. "What have we talked about before…" Sakura now understood. "I mean, Syaoran." Xiaolang grinned. "Thank you Ying-Fa." Before they hadn't realized how incredibly close they were, but now they did. It was pretty awkward. They if Sakura moved her face one half inch closer to Syaoran's their lips would of met. They stayed silent and still. Lost in each other and also afraid of the small gap between them. Sakura backed away quickly breaking the trance. "I-I've got to go finish this laundry. I- I'll see you Saturday…Mas er…Syaoran." Xiaolang nodded. "Saturday." Sakura left the room and leaned on one of the walls. "Hoe!" She whispered and tried to make her heart rate go down.

"Sakura-chan! Look outside, I think were in China!" Tomoyo exclaimed happily. She leaned back so that her friend could peer outside of the window. Sakura got a view of the outside. It was breathtaking from her view. Hidden behind the snow-white clouds lay the city of Hong Kong. Skyscrapers touched the sky and the cars looked like ants. So many colors were flying past her. The lower they got the more detail Sakura could see. "Wow…" Sakura said in a small voice. "My thoughts exactly!" Tomoyo said with a smile. "Everyone…" One of the stewardess appeared with a microphone in hand. "Welcome to Hong Kong, China."
Chapter One: Meeting the Li Clan
Tomoyo and Sakura couldn't keep their eyes in their heads. They even found the airport interesting. Especially Sakura who had never left her hometown Tomeda. They gathered their many suitcases and went to wait outside, Kakera told them that a personal servant of the Li's would comet to pick them up.
Outside of the airport was not sunny and beautiful like it had been in Tomeda…no it was raining. The rain poured from the sky like water from a gourd. It had only been a few minutes the two had to stand in the rain but they were already soaked to the bone.
An older man with a gray mustache walked up to the two and bowed to them. "Are you Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji?" The two nodded their heads not sure who this man was. "I was sent from the Li Clan to pick you up. I am sorry about the weather. We will get you a change of clothes as soon as we arrive." The man continued with a smile covering his wrinkled face. Sakura and Tomoyo followed him into a slick black limousine waiting out front of the airport-just for them. The man opened the door for them and they slid in. Then they were on their way. "Um excuse me…I don't mean to be rude but may I ask your name sir?" The driver chuckled a bit. "Oh excuse my manners. I am Wei, servant to Xiaolang. He told me to pick up two new maids that would be working at the Li mansion. But can I ask why you came all the way to Hong Kong just to become maids?" Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged glances, hoping one would know a legitimate excuse. But they each wore blank expressions. "Well you see…" Tomoyo started. Wei sensed the uneasiness between them and waved off the question. "Ah you don't have to tell me if you don't feel safe doing so. I respect your privacy." He said with a smile. Sakura held her heart and secretly thanked God.
After a silent ride they arrived in front of the Li mansion. The only words Sakura could describe it was ookii (big). "You mean this is where we are going to be working?" Sakura asked excitedly. "Yes Sakura." Wei said smiling and her led them to the front door. He led them inside which shocked them more. "OOKII!" Sakura almost screamed. Tomoyo looked around dreamily, this was what she wanted her dream home to be like!
"Wei? Are you back so soon?" A voice asked from one of the corridors. They heard footsteps and a young boy about Sakura's age walked in on the scene. He had messy brown hair and chocolate colored eyes which Sakura was lost in. She couldn't pull herself away even if she tried. When the young Li Clan Leader saw the auburn haired maid he blushed. Because of the rain Sakura's close were soaked and sticking to her skin. He could see all of her curves. Wei walked up to him and bowed. "Yes young Master. This is Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo." Nice to meet you. Wei c-could you show these young ladies to their rooms and show them t-t-their new uniforms? They must be cold from the rain." Xiaolang Li told the two girls disguising his blush with his coldness. Sakura frowned at the tone of his voice. He didn't look like the cold type to her. He looked sweet and loving. What would make him act like that? Then she remembered…
Xiaolang really doesn't warm up to a lot of people. He's lived such a drama filled life you can't really blame him."
Those were the words Kakera told her. She now felt sympathetic for the young leader…and also wanted to closer to him…
Wei bowed to Xiaolang and beckoned for the girls to follow him around a corner. Sakura took one last long look at the sorrowful leader. His eyes showed that he was unhappy, somehow, even though they just met Sakura wanted to make him happy. She wanted to see what his eyes would look like then.
"Sakura-chan…" Sakura felt a tug at her shoulder as Tomoyo followed on her. She followed her friend leaving Xiaolang in the entry hall.
Xiaolang stared at the retreating girl's figure as long as he could. And for a split second there was a glint in his eye. "Sakura…" He whispered as he turned down another hall.
"And this will be your rooms. They're connected to the Servants Hall." Wei showed them their rooms and each other them entered. It was small plainly, a dresser, a mirror, and a bed. Sakura sighed, she didn't want to live as a maid. But Tomoyo found it exciting and adventurous, sometimes Sakura didn't understand her. "Now your daily uniforms are on the beds, you have half an hour to get ready then go to the kitchen and meet a girl named Minla, she'll show you what to do. Tell then." Wei walked out of Sakura's room and closed the door. Tomoyo smiled at her friend and sat on Sakura's bed.
"Wow Sakura! Were really undercover cops! They don't suspect a thing. Were just ordinary maids to them! Sakura you're gonna look so kawaii in you uniform!" Sakura sweatdropped. Come on we better get down there, we don't want to screw up, meet me downstairs in a few minutes." Sakura told her in a whisper. Tomoyo nodded and left her room to go into her own.
Sakura quickly changed and looked at herself in the mirror. It was the typical maids uniform, black and white with an apron. She sighed. "It feels like we've gone back into time almost. So old fashion." She hurried down the servants hall and saw her partner waiting for her patiently. "Gomen Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura apologized in her own language. Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "KAWAII!" She said in a loud whisper, Sakura shook her head with a smile. She had one interesting friend. "Come on…were suppose to find some lady named Minla right?" Tomoyo asked as she touched the doors that led to the kitchen. "Hai." Sakura replied and they both walked in.
They stepped into a huge, bright, crowded kitchen with counters nearly about every where. Everyone was working, working hard and quick to prepare the Li's meal. "Wow…were protecting a very important family…" Tomoyo whispered into Sakura's ear, Sakura could only nod in response.
Everyone was working, all but an elderly lady who was sitting on a stool holding a small hand carved cane. She spotted the two and limped over to them. "Are you two Sakura and Tomoyo?" They both nodded. "Good…I'm Minla, I've been assigned to you two. That means I'll tell you what you're daily chores are. I believe we will get along just well just don't complain about how hard the work is okay?" Minla asked in a semi-strict voice. The two nodded again. "Good, now you all are going serve the dinner to the Li's. Now here are the Do's and Don'ts.
Do: Bow, bow before leaving, stay a minute after they have received their food.
Don't: Call them by their first names! Its either Master for Xiaolang or Mistress for Yelan and Missies for Master Xiaolang's sisters. And call Shinlo Young Master! Don't speak unless spoken to, don't get in their way, if called on don't hesitate!
Do you both got that?" Minla asked narrowing her eyes. "Yes ma'am." Minla smiled. "I like that…respect for you're elders. You two will do just fine. Now you, Tomoyo. Go and inform them that it is time to eat! AND BOW YOUR HEAD BEFORE SPEAKING AND DURING SPEAKING!" Minla scowled. Tomoyo nodded and left the big kitchen. "Ah! And you Sakura...*hehe* Ying-Fa." Minla said in a hoarse laughter catching Sakura off guard,. "Ying-Fa…?" She asked the laughing old woman. "Ying-Fa is your Chinese name, a very cute one I must say." Sakura smiled. "Arigato-er…thank you!" Minla stopped laugh and turned to Sakura with a serious expression. "Now your job is to set the tables, they should be in the Dining Room by now, and please do not break any of the china." "Yes ma'am." Sakura bowed and grabbed a stack of plates. Each one had a Chinese symbol on it. She winked towards the elderly lady and walked out of the kitchen doors. Minla smiled. "Those two are way to pretty to be working this job…" Minla sighed and went back to her work at one of the counters making bread.
Sakura entered the Dining Room careful to make sure the fine plates did not wobble. She found Tomoyo in the corner watching the famous family eat. There was an graceful woman probably in her late 40s and four younger women. Sakura guessed they were Xiaolang's sisters. Then she saw Xiaolang. He heart skipped a few beats as she stared for a second. "Sakura…" Tomoyo hissed from the corner of the room. Sakura looked up and smiled at the group acting as if nothing had happened. She smiled to the youngest at the table who looked identical to Xiaolang. He glared at her and scoffed. Her smile was bigger.
That HAS to be Shinlo. She thought to herself. She served the dinner plates and bowed her head to the group. She wasn't aware of a pair of eyes boring into her. Xiaolang looked was staring at Sakura, not caring if he was seen. Yelan cleared her throat getting her son's attention. Sakura bowed, still smiling. Shinlo hated her already.
Humph! Look at her. Smiling dumbly and acting like she's a high and mighty. The nerve of her! Does she not know who were are? And what her position is? Shinlo glared at her, Sakura may of seen the hate in his eyes but either way, she kept smiling. Tomoyo nudged her side and they both bowed again before exciting.
"Let us eat." Yelan told her family. "Yes!" They all agreed and began to gracefully eat the meal the was prepared for them.
"We have new servants!" Fanren, one of Xiaolang's sisters exclaimed happily. Xiaolang scoffed. "Why are you all so happy? Their just servants." Yelan gave her son a 'the look'. (A/N: If you don't know what 'The Look' is then you are REALLY lucky! I get it all the time!) "Xiaolang…" "Sorry mother." He said looking down at his plate, his eyes full of coldness. Shinlo cleared his throat.
"Um…dad. I have a question." "What is it Shinlo?" Xiaolang said, more like mumbled. He didn't even make eye contact with his son, but Shinlo was use to this though, his father never showed him any affection. He was always to busy with training, scolding him, working out matters, and anything else that came before him. "Well…um. You see I was wondering if I could go to the movies tomorrow?" Shinlo asked with high hopes. His dad looked at him. "Tomorrow is a school day…" He stated.
"Dad! I'm being tutored! That doesn't matter." Shinlo argued. "That still doesn't make it any different. So my answer is no Shinlo. You should be sword training in your spare time. Remember what happened in our last 'fight'." Xiaolang reminded him while waving his fork around. Shinlo timidly touched a small pink scar on his right cheek. "But dad-" "No buts! End of discussion." Xiaolang said ending Shinlo's whining. Siefen shook her head at the sight. "Xiao. Don't you think you're being a little tough on poor little Shinlo?"
"I am not poor and I am not little aunt Siefen!" Shinlo argued while crossing his arms. He hated when anyone made him sound less of a man. "Shinlo do not speak to your aunt in that tone and Siefen. He needs to train to become this Clan's future leader. We can not have a weak leader Siefen!" Xiaolang said defensively. He believed that he was doing what has best for his son, training him. He could not have a weak son, it would make him and the others of the Clan a laughing stock. Siefen wasn't even going to try to argue, she knew how stubborn her younger brother could be and she wasn't about to engage in war during dinner. Xiaolang turned his head to the doorway towards where Sakura and her friend had just left, he had to find out more about that mysterious angel who appeared out of no where.

"Minla! We've finished our first task. What should we do now?" Tomoyo asked while her head was bowed, she was brought up to show all respect for the elders. "My my my, that was quick. I have nothing for you to do for today. You might want to go to your rooms and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow you will be overwhelmed in chores I'm afraid." Minla told the two with a smile." "Thank you, and good night Minla." Sakura told her with a smile, she had enough excitement for a day, although it was just 8 P.M she yearned to fall into a soft mattress and drift off into a deep sleep. "Just be sure to be up at 6." "Yes ma'am."
And they both walked to their rooms. Tomoyo was giggling down the Servants Hall. "What is so funny Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked. "We are in China Sakura- chan! Isn't this just…unbelievable?" She asked while smiling. "But look at our position." Sakura said through a mumble. "Speaking of 'positions'…we need to run a quick check through the town tonight at midnight each night." Tomoyo informed.
"Why midnight?" Sakura asked with a questionable look on her face. "Well the last two bombs took place at midnight and so Kakera-kun wants us to check around ya know." Sakura nodded understanding. "Okay, so we'll meet at the end of this hall, don't forget your pepper spray, gun, and revolver." "What about flashlights?" "Yeah those to-but the pocket sized one okay." "All right Sakura-chan, see ya in a few hours." "Hai!" Sakura replied.
***
"Sakura-chan…Sakura-chan wake up!" A voice hissed. Sakura just mumbled and turned over. "Sakura wake up onegai?!" The voice hissed a little louder. "Dad…Just give me one more hour…" Sakura said in her sleep relieving her past. "SAKURA KINOMOTO!" The voice yelled in a whisper. Sakura still did not wake from her slumber. Tomoyo looked around the Sakura's small room, anything to wake her up. Then on her window cell she found a cigar. She figured it must of belonged to the room's former proprietor. She lit the lighter with the small lighter she had in her Tomeda Officer Uniform and put the cigar underneath her friend's nose. Sakura sat up within seconds. "KAKERA! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO SMOKE IN FRONT OF ME…Hoeeeee!" Sakura said realizing that she wasn't in her office but in a bed in a small room. "Tomoyo-chan…?" "Sakura, finally you're up!" Tomoyo sighed of relief as she threw the cigar out of the window. "Come on…it's 12 A.M we've got to get moving." Then it all came back to her. "R-right!" Tomoyo left the room to let her friend change into her uniform and gather her materials. Five minutes later Sakura walked fully dressed in her Tomeda Police Uniform out with a gun in hand. She cocked it and smiled at her friend. "Let's get this over with so I can go back to bed." "Right!" And the two snuck out of the mansion unnoticed.
"Hoe! It's pretty dark out here!" Sakura said fearfully Tomoyo giggled a little. "Don't worry Sakura, you shouldn't be afraid, we'll be done by an hour." "Oh! It's gonna take that long?" Sakura asked while whining. Tomoyo sweatdropped. "Um…Sakura-chan…if you haven't noticed Hong Kong is a big city."
Sakura turned a corner and waited for her best friend and partner join her. "So where do we start?" Sakura asked. "Anywhere! We just go in a big circle." Tomoyo replied in a whisper. "B-but what if we see some crime, like a robbery or murder?" Sakura asked, she thought it strange for police officers from a different country to make an arrest. "Well…we can't let them go free…we'll have to arrest them-well let's not worry about that, let's worry about our main problem." Sakura nodded and they began to sneak around the town.
By 12:45 A.M nothing had happened. They stopped and rested on a bench that was in front of a movie theater. "Tomoyo-chan?! Can we go back to the mansion now? It's almost one o'clock…unless my watch is broken…" Sakura said while peering at her watch. "Hai…you're right. I'm tired and we have to get up so early to. Let's go." Tomoyo agreed. They both stood up and dusted off their outfits. When…
BOOOM!
They both turned around and saw the explosion in cinema. All they could do was stare in horror at the orange fireball. The hid under the wooden bench and hoped for it to end soon. Sakura saw a piece of the construction building fly over head which scared her more, heck she had never been in a shut out. "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She yelled her favorite expression as loud as she could to get a grip of herself. A second later all was peaceful. Tomoyo was the first to get out of her hiding place. "Sakura…I think it's okay now…" She said in a small voice. Sakura slowly got out from under the bench as well and looked around. "W-what just happened?" She asked in a childlike voice. "I-I think we've just experienced one of Hong Kong's mysterious bombs!" Tomoyo said frightfully as she moved a lock of her ebony hair from her face. Then they heard the sounds of police and fire fighter sirens. They both exchanged glances and were out of there within a wink!
It was eight in the morning and the Li family was waiting to be served their breakfast while Xiaolang read the newspaper. "Hm…another bomb. Honesty they're only fire works what's so hard and dangerous about them?" He asked no one in particular. Sakura, who was serving the Li's breakfast tried hard not to smile.
'You have no idea how dangerous they are Xiaolang Li, you have no idea.' Sakura thought as she set down the Leader's bowl of soup and refilled his glass with orange juice. Xiaolang looked up and met her sparkling emerald eyes. "Thank you." Xiaolang said to the fresh maid. Sakura's eyes seem to sparkle anymore at those words. "You're welcome Master." She said and began to bounce in her step as served everyone's food. Shinlo glared at Sakura once more.
I HATE YOU…you-you maid! Shinlo yelled inwardly angrily at the plate that she had just set in front of him. "Father, I demand that we have this taste- tested." He said matter-of-factly. Fuutie gasped and Xiaolang gave him a look. Yelan stared blankly at him. "Why one Earth would you suggest such a thing Shinlo? This is only the girl's second day!" She said with her lips pressed in a thin line." "I don't trust this girl one bit Grandmother! The way she is smiling…like she could be up to something. For Heaven Sakes SHE could be the mysterious bomber!" He said in an angry voice. "Shinlo!" Xiaolang exclaimed in a surprised voice. Sakura shook her head and took a spoon from the table. "Do not worry Master, he has a right to be suspicious. I will do a taste test for you Young Master." Sakura, without hesitation dipped the spoon into the pool of vegetables and took a taste. She wiped of the spoon on her apron and smiled at the frowning young boy. "Don't worry Young Master, if I am not dead by now then it most defiantly is safe enough to eat. Enjoy." Sakura flashed a smile at everyone before leaving the room.
Sakura met Tomoyo in the laundry room folding clothes that were fresh from the dryer. "Tomoyo-chan…do you need any help?" Tomoyo looked up and smiled. "It would be appreciated Sakura-chan." The two always would talk in their own language when ever they were alone. Sakura sat herself on a plastic basket that could support her weight and began to fold laundry, after a few minutes of silence between the two Sakura chuckled a bit and Tomoyo gave her a curious look. "I'm was just thinking…" Sakura began thoughtfully. "Back in Tomeda you couldn't pay me to do the laundry. But now look at me, doing laundry for another family." Tomoyo giggled, it was true, Sakura would only do her laundry if she and Tomoyo were to do them together at the Coin Laundry Mat. "Well sometimes we have to learn how to do new things…like find love." Tomoyo slyly added the last part in. Sakura gave her a look and before she could interrogate what she meant she thought better of it. She sighed and looked at the ceiling. "You what I'm going to do when I get home Tomoyo-chan?" Tomoyo looked at her hopefully. "Start dating again?" She asked with sparkling eyes. Sakura gave her a look. "Heck no. I'm going to ask Kakera for a raise!" Tomoyo stared blankly at her before laughing. She threw a clean sock at her and Sakura also began to laugh.
***
"SHINLO!" Xiaolang said angrily. "I am sorry father, I didn't mean to, my hand just slipped." Shinlo hoped his father would forgive him. Xiaolang glared at him as he took a napkin to dab the soup stain from his *WHITE* shirt.
A few minutes after Sakura had left the room Shinlo had reached across the table for the salt and his arm accidentally knocked over his bowl, and half of the contents in the bowl splashed on his father. He was sure in it for now. Feimi shook her head. "No no no, that won't work little brother. Just go change your clothes all together." Xiaolang took his older sister's advice and excused himself from the table to get a change of clothes.
He walked down the empty hallway and into his master bedroom. He sighed heavily and stepped into his walk in closet to find a decent shirt. Just as he had stepped into the closet Sakura entered his room with a basket full of his clothes. She hummed to happily to herself as she set the basket on his bed and began to sort them (A/N: Socks, pants, shirts…) out. Xiaolang, who had heard someone enter his room walked out cautiously with a frown on his face. There he saw the angel who had walked into his life. Sakura continued humming quietly and turned around to put the pants she had just sorted through in the Master's closet. When she saw a pair of cinnamon colored eyes staring at her. She went through shock and dropped the bunch of pants on the green carpet. "HOOOOEEEE!" She cried out, after realizing who it was she went through a series of emotions. Embarrassment, shock, fright. Xiaolang picked out the clothes that lye on his ground and handed them to her. "Here." He plainly said. Sakura, who stood stiff noticed something…he wasn't wearing a shirt. She took the pants quickly and averted her eyes. "hoe!" She whispered with a blush planted on her nose. "I-I'm sorry Master, I should have knocked before I came in. I'm such a baka! Really! Please forgive me Master Xiaolang. It won't happen again I promise!" Sakura started rambling on and without knowing it she slipped into Japanese. Xiaolang, who knew the language found this very amusing. He chuckled lightly surprising Sakura. "Nani…?" She asked. "Nihongo (Japanese)" Xiaolang said with a smile. "Oh! Gomen, I mean sorry sorry." Sakura said finding it hard to switch back to the Chinese language. Xiaolang found this more amusing and Sakura smiled.
'He's smiling. He's really not such a bad guy after you get to know him.' Xiaolang cleared his throat and sat on his bed. "Do you want me to help you?" Sakura shook her head. "No no Master, this is my job. I wouldn't want you to be getting paid my money." Sakura said with a smile. Xiaolang chuckled.
'He's cute when he's smiling.' Sakura thought to herself watching the leader closely. Against Sakura's wishes he began to help put his own clothes in the correct places. Sakura thanked him and turned to go to the other rooms when he stopped her. "Miss…before you go. Can I talk to you about something?" Sakura really didn't want to reply with a yes, she was deathly afraid to tell the truth. "Of course Master." Sakura said and secretly yelling at herself within. "Thank you, please sit down." Xiaolang patted the space on the bed beside him and Sakura's eyes widened.
'He wants me to sit next to him? THAT CLOSE! There has to be some sort of mistake! AND he's not wearing a shirt! Hooe!' Sakura nodded dumbly and sat next to him. She then, began to feel claustrophobic.
Xiaolang himself began to feel weird inside and his stomach began to twist. Why had he suggested that she sit that close to him? Xiaolang, ignoring what he was feeling inside cleared his throat while the emerald-eyed girl looked at her hands.
"I just wanted to apologize about my son's actions this morning. He shouldn't have accused you of those bombs, or for trying to poison you. He can get a little out of hand sometimes. I just didn't want you to think ill of him." Sakura smiled. "Oh don't worry. I wasn't hurt by those words. It seems everyone is suspecting everyone of doing anything these days. We just can't be trusted these days." Xiaolang liked her smile, he like it a lot. It made him want to do it more often.
"May I ask your name?" He asked. He knew her name from when her friend had called her by it but he wanted to hear her name coming from her mouth. "My name is Sakura Kinomoto Master."
Xiaolang grinned. "Ying-Fa, it's a precious name." Sakura blushed. "Sakura, when we are alone I want you to make a promise to me." Xiaolang started. Sakura quickly met his eyes. 'What does he mean by 'When we are alone'? Does he want us to meet more? Oh he really is confusing me!'
"What is it Master?" She asked timidly. Xiaolang shook his head. "That's it, that's it right there. I get called 'Master' enough. From 13 and up I have been given that title but I want you to call me Syaoran when we are alone." Sakura gave him a confused look. "Why Syaoran?" Xiaolang smiled at him. "Syaoran is what my name in nihongo, Ying-Fa." "You want me to call you Syaoran…I don't think I can do that." Sakura stated wanting to leave- BADELY.
"Why is that?" Syaoran questioned. "Because, I am the employee, you are the employer. Not to forget that you are a quite powerful man." Sakura said without looking at him, she couldn't. "Ying-Fa, I-I think you should get to know the real me." Syaoran stuttered at first but then became confident. He wanted her as a friend.
"The real you…?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded. "Yes, what day do you get off Ying-Fa." "Minla said this Saturday was my day off, why?" Sakura was now deathly afraid of him, what did the Leader of the Li Clan want to do with her on a Saturday?" "How about, this Saturday, you and me go into town. You know, I'll show you around town and you'll be able to get to the know the REAL me. So you won't think of me as a 'master.'" "But you ARE my master!" Sakura tried to reason. Xiaolang put a finger to her lips and grinned at her. "What have we talked about before…" Sakura now understood. "I mean, Syaoran." Xiaolang grinned. "Thank you Ying-Fa." Before they hadn't realized how incredibly close they were, but now they did. It was pretty awkward. They if Sakura moved her face one half inch closer to Syaoran's their lips would of met. They stayed silent and still. Lost in each other and also afraid of the small gap between them. Sakura backed away quickly breaking the trance. "I-I've got to go finish this laundry. I- I'll see you Saturday…Mas er…Syaoran." Xiaolang nodded. "Saturday." Sakura left the room and leaned on one of the walls. "Hoe!" She whispered and tried to make her heart rate go down.
