A/N: Thank you for your reviews! I feel so . . . honored! I didn't know whether you guys would love this fic or not. I'm glad this story hasn't turned out to be a cliche in your minds, because all my ideas are (I hope) original. I try to become one of those writers whose plots are original. Well, let's just see if I succeed.
And I got my idea for this fic while I was walking home with my friend on a Friday sometime around April, I think. I don't quite remember. I think I was complaining to her about how I had to be partners with this girl when all of a sudden, I realized that I could make Sakura and Syaoran become two people who refuse to be partners (me and my partner didn't really want to become partners in the project we were doing either). And then from then on, subplots began popping up in my head, such as the murderer being called John Doe and cops being killed. You know, sometimes all it takes is a walk on a nice, breezy day, when your mind is free from the troubles, for a plot for a story to pop into your head. It took a while until I started to write it, and then it took me more longer to finally upload the first chapter.
And before I forget, I want to say a BIG thank you to my editor, Lee (Don't worry Lee, I'll upload the next chapter for EN). She's the reason why you, my readers, are hardly seeing any mistakes in grammer and spelling. And, of course, Lee helps when I need the help for writing a new chapter or if I have certain questions that I don't have the answers to about my story. Arigato Lee!

Murdering Angel
Chapter Two
(Saturday: Sakura's P.O.V)
I sit on the couch, a pad of paper sitting on my lap and a blue pen on my hand, ready to write down any information this woman might give me that could be useful.
I watch as she enters the living room, her blond hair, shiny as the sun, falling behind her back. Her hands, shaking slightly, were holding a tray of tea.
"H-here you go Ms. Kinomoto" she says. Her eyes were red. She was still mourning the death of her husband, who was victim number 6. She placed the tray on the coffee table; two cups filled with liquid that was tea sitting on top if it. A teakettle sat next to it, in case one of us needed more.
"Thank you, Mrs. Huang" I say as I grab a cup.
"Oh, you're quite welcome, and please, call me Sue."
"Alright Sue. As you must have already figured out, I'm here to talk to you about your husband."
"Yes, as you can see, I'm still mourning Ryuji's death."
I take a sip of the tea, and prepare to ask her a question when the doorbell rings. She excuses herself, and walks to her door. I take a drink of the tea, wishing for the visitor to leave so I can talk to the widow. My eyes widened when I heard the voice of the visitor.
"I am Private Investigator Li Syaoran; I need to ask you a few questions about your husband's death" I hear him say.
"Another one?" Sue asks.
Go away Li, go away . . .
"This is important to the husband of the killer's first victim, the same killer who had killed your husband."
There is a moment of silence, then, much to my dismay, I heard her invite him in. I look back and then he came into view. He stops and looks at me for a second, obviously surprised, but then he smirked.
"Well, I didn't know you were here Kinomoto" he said.
"You two know each other?" Sue asks.
Before I can say anything, he opened his mouth.
"Why yes, we are the best of friends, the very best of friends. Actually, she had a crush on me, but I turned her down."
I became angry with that, very angry, No wonder he had smirked!
"Oh my, may I get you some tea?" She asked. He nodded and she smiled, glad that he had accepted, and went to fix him one.
"How dare you say I have a crush on you when you damn well know I despise you" I hiss.
He walked over to me and plopped down on the chair next to mine.
"Why are you here?" I ask, my voice holding authority.
"The same reason you came, to ask her questions. Seriously, I didn't know you were here, if I had known, I would have waited until you had left and then come back. The last thing I want to do is be near you."
Sue came back with a new cup of tea and gave it to Li. She sat down and stared at us, waiting for the questions.
"Mrs. Huang, first thing I want to say is how deeply sorry I am for your husband's death" Li said. I frown, why did he emphasize the word 'I'? And then it hit me, I hadn't said that, he was getting on to her good side, making me seem like a rude person!
"Me too" I say quickly, making him look at me. I smiled at him before looking at Sue again. "That is why I am doing my hardest to find this killer-"
"And I have found several clues that may lead to our killer, that is why I wished to talk to you."
I glared at him. What the hell was he doing? Trying to be a pretty boy for her? Well, I don't think so.
Apparently, Sue didn't mind. I have sharp observing skills, and this woman was happy with talking to Li. But when I was here alone, she was sad and seemed miserable. Something was up.
"What have you found about the killer Mr. Li?" She asked. I frown. She seemed on cloud nine just talking to him, that made me extra angry. She was totally ignoring me!
"The thing is that this murderer will likely kill a female this time. With him or her doing a girl-boy-girl killing order, the next is a female."
"Yes, I have watched the news everyday, but why would he do that? Why would this killer go on and kill innocent people? And for what reason?"
"That is what I want to find out" I say, trying to get her attention. But all she did was glance at me before looking at Li again.
"Please, tell me what I can do to help you, Mr. Li."
I sigh and merely recline on the chair. This woman wasn't going to pay attention to me, she seemed to engrossed with Li, that bastard, that pig, that . . . that . . . that man! This was going to be a long interview . . .
(Half an hour later)
I roll my eyes as Sue thanks Li for coming and trying to solve the murder of her husband and more bullshit. I walk out the door, without even saying a good-bye. What's the point when she wasn't going to even pay attention to me? She didn't do it while we . . . no, while Li asked questions.
I reach my car and put my key into the keyhole as I think about how arrogant Li is.
"Idiot" I whisper.
"I don't think that is an appropriate name to call me when my car is blocking your way out of the driveway."
I didn't even need to turn around to see who it was, but I did glance at the car that was blocking mine.
"Then move it" I growl as I turn around to see my rival. His Amber eyes held laughter as he crossed his arms.
"Dare tell me what to do, Miss Kinomoto?" He asks.
"Yes."
No way I am going to let him boss me around.
"And you dare fight back?" He says.
"What is this, twenty questions? I don't have time for this, now move your stupid car or I'll just ram it out of the way with my car!"
"Kinomoto, all I did was come here to tell you that if you ever want to talk with this woman again-"
"Again?! Again?! Not a single word that came out of my mouth was processed in her mind because she was so into you!"
"I know" he replied, calmly. "That is why I am never going to talk to her again. All she did was stare at me and I really hated that, especially when she didn't even answer a single question with more than a 'I don't know', 'that's right', and 'that is incorrect'."
I eyed him. "You don't like it when women stare at you" I say. I remember when we arrived at the eleventh victim's house three days ago he kept adverting his gaze from that Lang woman and felt annoyed with her.
Li shook his head.
"I would have thought you enjoyed the attention" I continue.
"Well, I don't. Back in Hong Kong all they ever did was stare at me and it got on my last nerves even when-" He stopped himself before he walked back towards his car. "Why do you think I didn't want to have you as a partner?" He muttered, probably thinking that I wouldn't hear.
"What is that suppose to mean!?"
He looked at me, probably surprised that I heard him. He shook his head and got into his car. He started up the engine and left the driveway, going to wherever he was going.
I watched him go down the road when I realized that I didn't know anything about his past. But it had seemed I was going to find out a little of it when he had stopped himself from continuing his sentence. As I got into my car, I got more curious about who he truly is and about his past. I remember while Sue was talking to him, he kept staring at a picture on the wall. There were mountains and rivers on it.
'Paradise of love' he had interrupted. Sue had a look of confusion before he had explained that that was the name he and a woman he used to know called it.
I wonder exactly who this woman was, and what relationship she had with him.
~*~*~Syaoran POV
I got no information whatsoever from that woman.
"Please, tell me what I can do to help you, Mr. Li" I mimic out loud.
How about answering a few questions with answers I can work with, I thought. The women here are the same as they are back in Hong Kong. Just staring at me like a piece of jewelry that they think they will own.
But that Kinomoto . . . I think she wants to kill me, not own me. She fights back, she glares at me, she thinks she can control me. She just gets annoyed with me.
And damn, do I just love annoying her!
But for me to blurt out loud the 'paradise of love' comment was beyond stupidity. That was long ago, something that should be forgotten, something that I just want to forget.
I reach my apartment complex and stop the car when I see a blue car in my space. I frown. It clearly states that this spot is taken by me on a name tag on the wall above the parking spot. What blind idiot parked there?
"It about time" came a voice that almost scared the crap out of me. I turn to my left and saw the blind idiot that had the nerve to park on my parking spot. I growl.
"Hiiragazawa" I hiss. He stood there with that creepy smile next to the window of my car. "Move your stupid car!"
He looks at me before shaking his head.
"Nope, I'm kind of hungry and . . ." his face grew serious " . . . it's about the case you are working on."
I raise an eyebrow and glance at the passenger side door. I sigh, defeated, and unlock it. Hiiragazawa ran around the front of the car (I had to resist the urge of running him over) and opening the door before jumping in.
"'The petite cafe'" he said and I nodded, knowing where that place was. I begin to drive once again, annoyed that I had to waste gas on that stupid blue-haired man.
"Why can't you just tell me now about the case?" I ask with frustration.
"Because it's not only me you have to talk to, I want you to talk to Tomoyo as well."
"Why do I have to talk to both of you?"
"Because you have to."
I roll my eyes and for the rest of the ride we kept quiet, me not really wanting to talk to him; and him most likely not wanting to accidentally say something that involves the case and that might get Daidouji annoyed.
I park in the parking lot of the cafe and we both exit the car and head towards the cafe.
"Li, Eriol! Over here!"
We look around the semi-crowded cafe and finally see Daidouji waving her hand back and fourth from a table. We walk towards her direction and then we both sit down, me impatient to get the information.
"Okay, so what do you know about the case?"
"It's not so much the case we want to talk to you about" Daidouji began "it's more about Sakura."
"You guys brought me all the way here, to talk about Kinomoto, who doesn't like me and vise versa?" They nod. I shake my head and stand up. "I don't have time-"
"She isn't very comfortable when it comes to partners" Hiiragazawa interrupted. "For two months straight she has been working on this case because she needs comfort."
I pause half way out of my seat and stare at them. Comfort?
"What are you talking about?" I ask. Daidouji looked a little nervous and glanced at Hiiragazawa before answering my question.
"Okay, I can't tell you the full story" she began as I sat back down. "If you want the full story, then you are going to have to ask Sakura herself, but I'll tell you all I can. She resents having a partner."
"I kind of figured" I reply.
"You aren't the first partner that has been assigned to be with Sakura, but the first few were scared off by her. You are the first that has stayed and now she is involuntarily picking fights with you so you can leave the case, but don't leave. Sakura needs to get comfort and although neither of you know it, you being her partner is going to make her see that partners aren't so bad, and then she can finally be comforted."
I was still confused. I don't like Kinomoto, Kinomoto doesn't like me. How exactly am I going to comfort her?
"Why does she think that partners are so bad?" I ask.
Hiiragazawa sighed. "Have you ever felt betrayed so much that you just base everyone off that one person?"
I think about it, going through all my memories, before looking at them and nodding my head.
"That's what Sakura is doing, partner wise" Daidouji said. "Sakura is basing anybody who is to be her partner off what a partner that wasn't even hers did. She feels that every partner will do the same thing-"
"Including me" I interrupt. Okay, now I know why Kinomoto acts the way she does. But that doesn't mean I will continue to allow her to think of me as someone that is lower than her and who can be yelled at and bossed around.
We sit there in silence for a moment. I can tell that that was all they were going to tell me, and I think they are waiting for me to give them some type of an answer.
"I wasn't planning on leaving" I say out loud finally, "and I am not going to leave. I have no idea how I am going to comfort Kinomoto, but if I do in some way comfort her, then it was done involuntarily. If she continues to act the way she does, then so will I. Simple as that. I don't kiss ass, and I don't just take crap from someone. If whatever happened to her in the past is bad and she tells me, then I might change my tune, but for now, nothing has changed between us."
Daidouji sighs. "Her past, it isn't pretty."
I stand up. "Neither is mine" I say before leaving the cafe.
~*~*~(Third P.O.V)
Eriol looked at Tomoyo. "Well, at least we know he isn't leaving."
"And us telling him even a little about Sakura did not help in making him start softening up towards her."
"Well, I kinda agree with the guy. If Sakura won't soften up to him, why should he? Sakura is like a sister to me, but we are sort of playing all of this on Sakura's favor."
"What do you mean?"
"Trying to make Li soften up to her, talking him into not leaving so Sakura can be comforted; not that we had to; and then try to make him friendly towards her. We were going to make him do all this, which he probably wouldn't like, and all Sakura would have done with her attitude is ignore him and act cold. I think we have to start doing this fairly. We both have to make Li and Sakura soften up towards each other, and then try to make them become friends, and then, make both of them fall for each other."
Tomoyo tilted her head. "You're right. Li is handsome and Sakura is beautiful, I'm sure they will have no problem falling for each other."
"Believe me, there will be problems. Knowing you, I am the one who will have to be Li's best friend for the next few weeks until he falls for her, and he already dislikes me."
"I'm sure you'll be able to get through him" she said as she placed her chin on her hands. He smiled at her cuteness.
"You said Sakura was beautiful, and I agree, but in my eyes, you are even more beautiful" he complimented her. Tomoyo blushed bright red as he continued to compliment her like he usually does.
~*~*~(Syaoran's P.O.V)
I walk towards my car, not even caring how Hiiragazawa would get back home. I put my hand into my pocket and search for my keys. I felt the cold steel and had taken them out when a glove fell in front of my feet. I look at who dropped it and almost groaned out loud when I saw who it was. It was that woman that had sat in front of the picture that had intrigued me. She batted her eyelashes.
"Oh my, I had dropped my glove" she says in a voice that I think is suppose to make me want her.
I knew what she wanted me to do. I have gone through this and other things with women who wanted me, but didn't get me, and I pretty much know how they want me to respond.
"Yes, you certainly did. Better pick it up before it gets dirty" I reply as I step over it and continue. A few seconds later, she appears next to me, both gloves in her hand.
"My name is Campton Shirley, what's yours?" She asks.
"I don't give anyone my name."
"Aww, I'm sure you'll find it in your heart to tell me your name, hmm?"
Mentally, I was growling, but my face showed no emotion. I finally reach my car and before I could fit the key into the keyhole, she steps in front of me, my key almost touching her stomach.
"So serious" she purrs. "I like that in a man." She placed her hands on my shoulders and just when I was about to yell at her to let go and to leave me alone, a voice all-too familiar spoke up behind me.
"Thought you didn't like attention."
I groan, outwardly this time. Campton dropped her hands as I turned around and stared at Kinomoto.
"I don't" I say.
~*~*~(Sakura)
I crossed my arms. I came here to eat a bit and when I strolled through the parking lot to reach the entrance, I spot Mr. Big Shot with a woman who is getting friendly with him.
"Oh, really?"
"Really."
I look at the woman, and she glares at me.
Most likely angry that I interrupted her putting the moves on him.
I smirk.
"It didn't look like you minded the attention, Li."
"Shut up, Kinomoto!"
"Who the hell are you!?" The woman asks coldly. I reach into my pocket and pull out my badge that marks me as a PI.
"Private Investigator, and this guy who you are trying to get with is someone my boss wants me to be partnered up with. Piece of advice, you are going to go through a whole lot of work to make him get into bed with you, because your beauty, charms, and your excess show of flesh is not going to work on him, and if you are wondering how I know that's what you use to get guys, it's in that confident look you have which marks you as one of those women who think they can get any man they want."
She looked taken aback and insulted with that information and looked at Li, then at me, back at him, then at me again, and then glares at me before stomping off, muttering to herself.
"Not even a minute and she doesn't like me" I say. "I think she believes that-" I stop and notice that he isn't listening to me, but is looking at something behind me. I frown and turn around and saw nothing but two guys who were passing each other some type of substance.
"Marijuana" I hear Li mutter and he begins to walk towards them. The two guys notice him and then look at me before their eyes widened and they begin to run towards their car. I blink and look at my hand and saw my badge.
"Oh, they must have thought we were officers" I mutter and I put it away as I run after Li, who was running after them. He stops suddenly and turns around, running in my direction.
"They fucking got into their car!" He shouted as he passed by me and jumped into his own car. I merely stand there as he gets in and then puts on the gas. He stops next to me.
"Get in!" He orders as he opens the passenger door.
"Hell no-"
"I don't have time for this" he says as he reached over and grabs my arm and pulls me into the car. He closed the door before I can position myself correctly and then he speeds after them.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" I snap at him.
"What does it look like!" He snaps back.
"Goddamn it, Li! We aren't cops, we are PI's! We don't just chase after people who are suspected of having drugs! We only chase the people who are part of the case we are working on!"
"Then it's people like you who let these people roam the streets!"
He makes a sharp turn, which makes me hit the door and bump my head. I grab the dashboard as he goes on over 100 miles per hour, running red lights and going from one lane to another. I yell out when he nearly hits a car when we passed another red light.
"The actual cops are going to get you and those asses you are chasing!"
"In the compartment" he says. "There is a light; take it out!"
"Li-"
"Now!" He barks, which startles me. I open the compartment and see one of those single red lights that we and the cops who are driving in un-labled police cars use in a chase. I take it out and give it to him, who places it on the dashboard in his side near the corner. He turns it on and the red light turns on. It begins to spin while the siren goes stars to wail in order to warn innocent people to move out of the way.
The speeders enter a freeway as cars move out of our way. I put on the seatbelt frantically as I see them drive towards the middle which separates the freeway into two, knowing that Li is going to do the same.
"Why don't they just stop?!" I hiss to myself. My eyes widened as they drive on the left side of the freeway, against traffic! "Oh, hell no!"
Li follows them and I grab the seatbelt tightly, involuntarily. The cars heading our way beep their horns at the car with the suspects as they move to the side.
"Li? Just to let you know . . . I am going to fucking kill you when this is over!" I scream at him as we go from one lane to another against traffic. The car in front of us speeds pass between two large trucks, barely fitting. Li does the same, following every step of the way. We get closer to the dealers and just when we are about to touch bumper to bumper, they move to the next lane hastily.
"Fuck!" We scream at the same time as a blue car almost hits us, making Li swerve out of the way and he loses it for a bit, making the car swerve from one side to the other before he regains control again. If we had hit the car, we would have caused a very big head-on collision.
"Oh, god, we're going to die" I moan as he speeds up and continues this damn pursuit. Never have I been in a chase such as this. As a PI, we don't get much chances like this, and as for me . . . I have never been in a pursuit in my life!
"We aren't going to die" Li said, eyes focused on the car in front of him.
"You are definitely going to die, Li! If this crazy chase you pulled us into doesn't kill you, then I will!"
Li speeds up to the car, and hits it. He hits it!
"Li, if this is the end then I hope that they find my body at least fifty feet away from yours because with the-" He hits it again, making me yell out as my body pushes against the seatbelt.
"I'm going to have to pin him" he mutters. My eyes widened as he hastily hits the edge of their vehicle, hard, as he uses the pivot maneuver, making their car turn and Li push them pass the lanes until they are against the wall, our car blocking the driver side and the wall blocking the passenger side. The engine continues to run as they try to escape, but they weren't able to move.
"You are lucky that you did this while this part of the freeway was empty" I say as he gets out of the car, pulling his gun out. I growl and get out of the car as well . . . and almost fall down. I grab the door and look at my shaky knees. I must have been more scared than I thought, but can you blame me? He attempted and succeeded in pinning them in a freeway! Dangerous and stupid!
I look at Li and see him on top of the hood of our car as he bashes in the window in the driver's side of the suspects with the butt of his gun. He grabs the guy's collar and pulls him out. He slides off the car towards the left with the suspect and pins him on the ground facedown.
"Stupid to run, idiot!" Li said as he grabs his arms and put cuffs on the wrists. I glance at the guy's buddy and see him get out of the broken window, apparently not seeing me. I draw my gun as he completely gets outs and slides off the car and lands in front of me completely as I stand behind the door of Li's car.
"Try to run and I'll shoot" I say coldly to him. He looks at me with a surprised look as I give him the worst glare I can give anyone . . . well, besides Li. "And after all this, I kind of have a strong urge to just shoot you whether you listen to me or not" I add. He continues to stare before sighing and then getting on the ground facedown. I walk towards him and take the cuffs out.
"Making him chase you against traffic" I mutter as I bend down next to him, his face facing the other way. "I'll make sure you get a long sentence.
"Yeah just try it" came his voice, which had an accent. I raise an eyebrow. He wasn't exactly from Japan, but I think I know him. He has black hair that's a little long and I wasn't able to see the color of his eyes. His body was very well built, biceps and all.
Probably works out, I thought.
"Umm . . . you sound familiar" I say. He turns his head so he could look at me. His eyes were an amazing black, but then my eyes widened, now seeing his face clearly. Apparently, he recognizes me as well.
"Tsuchida Kiyo . . ." I whisper.
"K-Kinomoto?" He says as my surprise disappears and is now replaced with anger.
"What the hell are you doing out of prison?!"
He smirks. "Got out early for being a good boy, probably from hanging around you too long. Ahh, I remember it well. You, always being so good and doing the right thing, trying to live up to your father's expectations, never wanting to be bad. But, I didn't really care. I had wanted you then, and I still want you now."
My anger rose so much that I didn't even hear the sirens of coming police officers.
"You're nothing but a sick bastard!" I yell out as I swiftly punch him.
"Ouch!" He screams out in pain as he turns his body around, still on the floor, and moves his hands to his bleeding nose. I grab the front of his shirt and he moves his hands to see me but that only results in him being punched again.
"I hate you! I hate you!" I begin to yell out with every punch that lands on his face. I feel hands wrap around my waist and yank me off. I struggle.
"Let go!" I scream. "Let me go!"
~*~*~(Third Person P.O.V)
Syaoran tried his hardest to not let go of her, no matter how much she struggled or how much she screamed. The cops came and took the guy he had away and he stood up only to see Sakura beating him up. He had run around the car and yanked her off so the cops, who finally reach them and who had gotten out of their cars, can take care of him.
"Kinomoto, stop it!" He hissed. She spun her body around, but continued to try to escape from his hands.
"No, no, no!" She continued to scream. He released her waist but immediately grabbed her wrists.
"STOP IT!" He finally yells out at her.
Sakura's struggling subsided as she look at him. His eyes darted to her fist, which was bleeding, whether it was the guy's blood or hers, he did not know.
"Your fist . . ." he muttered. Sakura looked down and tried to push down the urge to cry but couldn't, and the next thing she knew, she was sobbing.
Syaoran looked at her and released her wrists, which immediately flew to her face. He didn't know what to do.
"Ano . . ." was all he was able to come up with. He glanced behind her when he heard a cop yell out something about a knife. His eyes widened when he saw that Kiyo somehow was able to escape the cops' hands and was now running towards Sakura with a knife in his hand. He didn't think twice before hugging Sakura to him and spinning both their bodies out of the way until her back was against the car, his arms tightly around her upper body and his chin was now resting on the top of her head.
Kiyo fell onto the ground, face first. He had lunged but before his knife was able to make contact with her back, that PI had ruined it and came to her rescue by moving her out of the way, resulting in him falling on to the floor. He groaned in pain as he was pulled up in a standing position and then handcuffed by an officer.
"Alright buddy, you have the right to remain silent . . ." the officer continued to read him his rights as he was taken to the car.
Sakura paused her crying and looked up when Syaoran pulled back a little. He didn't release his hold, though, and they stood there for a few moments, her red, puffy eyes boring into his Amber eyes.
"You . . . you saved me?" She questioned, surprised.
"I . . . I had to" He said softly.
"Why?"
He remained quiet for a few moments before smirking.
"Because then the boss would have had my head if I had let you die. He would have fired me in a beat" he replied, trying to make her angry. He could stand her anger, but not her crying.
"Oh!" Sakura pushed him away. "So you saved me because you didn't want to get fired!?!"
Mission completed, he thought.
"No, not only that" he sighed dramatically and placed a hand over his heart. "Guilt would have taken it's toll over me, and I would have had a dull, lifeless life."
Sakura glared at him but then he shook his head.
"That isn't very affective because your eyes are puffy and red" Syaoran stated. He raised an eyebrow. "To see you in such a vulnerable state, why, it shocked to no end."
"Yeah, well" she raised up her arm and wiped her eyes and any more tears that could have fallen. "I-I merely let old wounds get reopened, but they are now closed and you will never see me this way again."
He eyed her. Kiyo was someone from her past, he just knew it. And whoever he is, he must have done something terrible to make her punch him over and over again and then to start bursting into tears.
Sakura sighed as she placed her hands on her hips. "Well, Li? Your car is wrecked, how are we getting back to the building?"
Syaoran crossed his arms. "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know!?!"
He shrugged. "I just don't know."
He glances around and then spots an exit to the streets.
"Let's walk to the exit, then call a taxi."
Sakura gave him a blank stare. " . . . What?"
"The exit isn't very far."
"The exit isn't very far?! It's like a three mile walk!!"
"Oh please, that is not far."
"Well, to me it is."
Syaoran shrugged. "Okay then, you could just stay here." He turned around and began to walk away.
Sakura stood there for a moment before growling and stomping right after him.
"I didn't even get to eat lunch" she muttered, and to that, Syaoran smirked.
AN: As I mentioned in my bio, chapters one through four are already done. I had decided to upload the first chapter before I had wrote chapter five because if I continued the way I was going, the only person who would have read the story would've been my editor. If I get reviews, the next chapter will be up in a few days.
So I beg of you, please review! And no flames, because I don't want to feel left down throughout the time that I am writing this story!
