Learning To Love
Chapter 11
Sakura settled into her apartment and let out a yawn as she collapsed on her couch. She was exhausted from the trip and just wanted to sleep.
"I put your suitcase in your room"
Syaoran said as he walked into the livingroom, also looking somewhat
tired.
"Thank you"
Sakura murmured softly as she opened her eyes lazily. Syaoran let out
a chuckle and touched her cheek gently,
"get some rest okay sleepyhead? Tomorrow you have to go back to work"
Sakura let out a whine as she tugged on Syaoran's sleeve,
"Do I have to?"
She asked jokingly. Syaoran smiled and nodded,
"yup, vacation's over"
"but I'm the girlfriend, don't I get special treatment?"
Syaoran bent down and kissed her, he withdrew with a sly smile on his lips,
"Nope. Vacation's officially over"
Sakura giggled and hugged him,
"alright, only because you're going to have to go back too!"
"awww...do I have to?"
"of course! now let me go back to sleep"
Sakura said jokingly as she let go of Syaoran and closed her eyes again.
Syaoran smiled as he admired the women that laid in front of him. he grabbed
a nearby blanket and placed it ontop of her.
"I'll call you tonight okay?"
He whispered into her ear as he placed a small kiss on her cheek. Sakura
nodded in response as a smile formed on her lips.
"good night"
She murmured softly as she fell into a deeper sleep.
"night"
Syaoran responded as he quietly walked up to the door and shut it softly
behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Outside Sakura's apartment)
A black Mercedes (SN: *laughs* I was SO tempted to make it a BMW!...you all know I'm obsessed with BMW's!! ^.~) was parked right outside Sakura's apartment and the man inside carefully watched everyone who went in and out of the apartment complex. his grip on the steering wheel tightened as he caught sight of the man he had seen earlier enter the building with Sakura.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
He asked himself as he vigilantly watched the guy with chestnut brown
hair make his way to a silver BMW (SN: sorry I couldn't help myself! I
had to give Syaoran the nice car...my dream car!). He recognized
him from somewhere, but he wasn't sure from where. He started up his car
and started to closely follow the BMW, curious to see where it was heading.
He watched as it entered the parking lot of a large building and disappear
from his sight.
"Li corporation huh?"
he mumbled to himself, satisfied with the bit of information he had obtained. There was a chance for a better investigation another day. But first, he had to reacquaint himself with a certain someone...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Later that night)
"Sakura!!!"
Tomoyo squealed in delight as she embraced her best friend tightly.
"Tomoyo! I've missed you so much!"
Sakura said as she hugged her just as tight. The girls withdrew from
the hug and smiled at one another. Tomoyo's face lit up almost automatically.
"Meiling told me that Syaoran told you he loved you!"
Sakura smiled and blushed slightly.
"Yes, he did"
"yeah...so..."
Tomoyo looked at Sakura expectantly with a sly smile on her face.
"what?"
Sakura asked cluelessy. After a few minutes, she got what Tomoyo was
insinuating and began to laugh.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you Tomoyo but there's no wedding in the near future"
"awww....not even an engagement?"
"No...at least I don't think so"
"that's too bad...I was already starting to look for materials for your wedding dress"
Tomoyo said with a troubled expression on her face. Sakura couldn't help but let out a nervous laugh. Tomoyo really wanted to marry her off to Syaoran!
"Don't worry, there will be time for that in the future. Now, come with
me to get my suitcase, I brought you all these great souvenirs!"
Sakura said excitingly as she stood up and rushed towards her room.
Tomoyo looked at her best friends receding back and let out a giggle
"It's good to see you this happy once more Sakura"
She said murmured softly.
"Tomoyo!"
Sakura called out impatiently
"coming!"
Tomoyo answered as she got up and proceeded towards Sakura's room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(The next day)
Syaoran looked at his watch and sighed when it read 9:00am. That meant
that there was still a whole hour left before Sakura would show up. He
put his newspaper aside and leaned back in his chair, letting out a yawn
as he stretched his arms out. He was caught by surprise when his door suddenly
flew open and an enraged Tiffany walked in.
"What the hell was wrong with you that day I called!?"
"What are you talking about?"
Syaoran asked coldly,
"what was up with all the we're through crap!"
"oh do I have to refresh your memory? Well okay then, I'm sick and tired of your bitching, I want you out of my life!"
"It's because of her isn't it? All because of your stupid assistant!"
"Leave Sakura out of this!"
"No! It's because of her! I'm not stupid Syaoran I know she
went with you to Hong Kong!!"
Syaoran became silent and glared at Tiffany,
"How--"
"That's none of your business"
She snapped back. She came closer to Syaoran and looked at him straight
in the eye, her eyes gleaming with vengeance,
"I will not be the fool here Syaoran. You've picked the wrong person
to mess with, I can assure you that"
She grabbed her purse and turned towards the doorway, slamming the
door shut after her.
'yeah right, she can't do anything'
Syaoran said to himself as he shrugged off her threat. His door opened once again and for a minute there thought it was Tiffany but sighed in relief when he saw it was Eriol.
"What'd you do to Tiffany? She's tearing down the hall like a madwomen"
"I just broke up with her"
Eriol looked up at Syaoran in disbelief,
"are you serious?"
"Yes, I have no reason to be with her. oh and Eriol it's a good thing you're here, listen, the whole bet--"
"I wanted to talk to you about that too. Syaoran, I want to call it off"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
While she was waiting for the elevator, Tiffany was frantically searching for her car keys in her purse.
"where the hell did I put them?"
She asked herself as she searched her purse for like the fourth time.
She frowned as she finally gave up. the elevator door opened up and she
stood for a minute there, hesitating whether to go in or re-trace her steps
hoping to find her keys. Ignoring the elevator, she headed back towards
Syaoran's office in search for her keys. She spotted them near the door
that led to Syaoran's office and bent down to pick them up and that was
exactly when she heard Eriol and Syaoran's voice coming from inside the
office. The door was a bit open so she could hear everything clearly...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A sense of relief washed over Syaoran as soon as he heard Eriol's words. He grinned and nodded,
"that's what I was going to say too"
Eriol looked a bit surprised,
"You wanted to call off the bet too? But why? I was expecting you to give me a hard time today"
"Eriol...I've fallen in love with her. The notion that I was only with her because of some dumb childish bet was killing me. She deserves better and I felt like a complete jerk for leading her on"
"That makes two of us"
Eriol said as he took a seat and relaxed, his holiday vacation had been nothing but stressful. Every time he looked at Tomoyo a wave of guilt would wash over him and he wouldn't be able to look into her eyes.
"At least now it's over"
He let out a laugh as he looked at Syaoran,
"What the hell were we thinking when we made up that bet?"
Syaoran laughed too and shook his head,
"Not a clue"
He looked at Eriol, questioningly.
"What made you change your mind about the bet though?"
Eriol let out a sigh and shrugged,
"I guess it was Tomoyo. She told me all about Sakura's past and I had no idea she had suffered through so much. Plus, Tomoyo means a lot to me and I know that in hurting Sakura, I'm hurting her too."
"Sakura's past? What about her past?"
Syaoran asked in confusion.
"You don't know?"
Eriol inquired.
"no...Sakura's never mentioned it"
Eriol looked at his time and got up,
"Well, I hate to say this but I have to get going. I don't think I should
be the one telling you about it though, if anyone should tell you, it should
be Sakura herself"
"Eriol, but what are you talking abou--"
"Sorry Syaoran, I really have to get going"
Eriol said apologetically as he grabbed his coat and headed towards
the door. Syaoran sighed in frustration as he leaned back on his chair.
"alright, good-bye Eriol"
"Bye!"
Eriol called out as he rushed out of the office.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tiffany frantically yanked the door to the stairway and closed it just in time as Eriol passed by. She let out a sigh of relief, glad she wasn't caught eavesdropping. A smile formed on her lips as she let out a low laugh,
"A bet huh? Of course, I should've known...typical Syaoran. Now wait until his little cherry blossom hears about this"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh no, I'm going to be late!"
Sakura said to herself as she rushed past some people and made her
way towards the tall black building a block away. she wasn't able to find
a parking lot nearby and had to park about two blocks away from the building.
As she walked hastily, she nearly slipped on the icy sidewalk but was able
to catch her balance in time.
"I told you numerous times that ice plus higheels don't make a nice combo, but I can see you never took my advice into consideration"
Sakura let out a gasp and stopped walking as soon as she heard his voice. She slowly turned around, forgetting all about the time.
"L-L-Larry?"
Larry just smiled and nodded. Sakura managed to muster up a shaky smile too but the surprise was very clear in her eyes.
"So what brings you here?"
She asked in an attempt to make small talk as she continued to walk
forward with Larry by her side.
"I don't know, just felt that something was missing all this time. I
just had to come back to Japan...to get it back"
He answered as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
"oh...that's nice. Good for you I hope you find what you're looking
for"
Sakura answered as she looked ahead, trying to avoid his gaze. She
could feel him staring at her.
"Oh I already found it, now I just have to get it back"
Sakura looked at him somewhat confused,
"get what back?"
Larry just smiled at her, one that Sakura knew all too well. The same smile that had won her over years ago, the same one that made her trust in his every word.
"I can't really tell you. Don't worry though, when I get it back you'll definitely know"
"oh"
Sakura mumbled as she turned her head once more to look forward. There
was something in the tone of his voice that made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
She was relieved when she realized that they were already in front of the
Li Corporation building.
"Well, I have to go in. Good bye Larry"
Sakura said in a polite tone as she turned towards the building.
"Sakura, wait"
Larry said as he held her arm. He gently took hold of her shoulders
and looked into her eyes.
"We have a lot of catching up to do, I hope you don't hold any resentment
because of what happened..."
Sakura let out a laugh and shook her head,
"Of course not, that was all in the past"
Larry let out a sigh and smiled,
"good, I wasn't sure if you were still mad at me or not. But I do want you to know that I am truly sorry things ended the way they did between us. I did something really dumb that I wish I had never done. You have no idea how much I regret it now"
Sakura let out a nervous laugh,
"Well, things happen for a reason. Maybe we just weren't meant to be"
"I must admit, I still find that hard to believe"
Larry murmured as he brought her a bit closer. Sakura, feeling a bit
uncomfortable decided she needed to get away.
"I really got to get going, my boss doesn't like me to be late"
"oh okay"
Larry said as he let go of her. he looked up at the sign above the
entrance doorway that read in golden letters Li Corporation.
"wow, congratulation! Your dream came true, you're working for a big corporation! I bet it's only a short amount of time before you become the owner of the whole place!"
Sakura blushed at the comment and shook her head. The corporation is family-owned. Syaoran's the one in charge of the branch here in Japan"
"Syaoran?"
Sakura's blush deepened, something that Larry noticed immediately.
"I'm sorry, I mean Mr. Li"
"That's odd, an employee referring to her boss by his first name"
Larry said suspiciously. Sakura fidgeted with her purse nervously,
"Well, you see he's not only my boss...he's my boyfriend too. We began dating shortly after I started working here"
'no wonder he seemed so familiar! His family owns the whole damn company!'
"Wow, that's great Sakura...real great"
"well, I really should get going"
Sakura said as she took a step back towards the building.
"Oh right, sorry. Well, how about we meet up at 12:30 down at the coffee shop. you know, the one we always used to go to"
"Oh I'm sorry Larry but I can't, I promised Syaoran I--"
"please Sakura? we haven't seen each other in so long and we have so much catching up to do"
"I--"
"great then! I'll meet you there at 12:30"
he took a step forward and hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, leaving Sakura speechless.
"Bye"
He called out before walking on forward.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran eyed the guy that was making his way across the street like a hawk. Who was he and from where did he know Sakura? Jealousy surged through him when he saw the guy kiss his girlfriend. He didn't like him, he knew it right away. Syaoran watched Sakura enter the building and once he was sure she was in, he went back to his desk. He waited patiently for Sakura to walk into his office, yet he kept his gaze locked on the door. After a few minutes, Sakura walked in with a bright smile on her face.
"Good morning Syao--"
"You're late"
Syaoran snapped as he glared at her. Sakura was a bit taken back by
his words and her smile disappeared.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd mind. I had a difficult time finding parking but I came as fast as I could"
"oh really did you?"
"yes I did. Syaoran what's wrong?"
Sakura asked, a tinge of hurt was present in her voice.
"A difficult time finding parking huh? I guess you supposed you had a few minutes to spare afterwards."
"I don't understand what you're trying to say with that"
"Apparently, you felt you had time to waste since you decided to stand outside and chat for a bit"
"Syaoran, why are you speaking to me like that?! I have done nothing wrong, I already apologized for being late what else do you want me to do?!"
Sakura couldn't help but yell out angrily. She didn't like the way he was speaking to her, it was as though he didn't trust her.
"why are you getting so upset? You're acting as if you're hiding something!"
Syaoran accused her. Sakura looked at him in disbelief, the statement
clearly offended her.
"why would I hide something from you?!"
"I don't know you tell me!"
"Syaoran you're being a jerk!"
"I'm being a jerk!? I see some guy get all close and touchy with my girlfriend and you expect me to be alright with that?"
"You should be able to trust me enough to know I would never do anything to hurt you!"
"Well you obviously did nothing to stop him from getting too close!"
"Stop it Syaoran, I've had enough of this! Don't punish me for your past mistakes!"
"So now my break-up with Heather is suddenly my fault? Is that what you're trying to say Sakura?!"
Sakura, filled with rage, glared at Syaoran as she bit her lip to restrain herself from saying anything she might regret later on.
"come on, say it! if that's what you think, tell me!"
Syaoran edged forward, Sakura couldn't keep quiet anymore and in an icy tone responded,
"Now I understand why she left you"
Sakura's remark left Syaoran frozen in his spot. Sakura immediately realized what she had said and tears flooded her eyes as she regretted every word.
"Syaoran...I'm so—I didn't mean to—it wasn't supp--"
She realized that no matter what she'd end up saying, he wasn't going to listen to her. Silently, Sakura walked to the door and slipped out. Syaoran shakily walked back towards his desk and let out a sigh as he rested his head in his hands. Sakura was right. If he wasn't able to trust her, their relationship would never work out, and he'd end up losing her just like he lost Heather.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriol walked into Tomoyo's office just as she was hanging up the phone. She had a worried look on her face but tried to brighten up a bit as she went up to hug him.
"Tomoyo, what's wrong?"
He questioned as he hugged her and kissed her lightly on her cheek.
"I just got off the phone with Sakura. She was upset and crying hysterically."
"why what happened?"
Eriol questioned in alarm.
"Syaoran and her got into an argument and she said some mean things to him that she now regrets. He's not even talking to her now. They were supposed to go to a conference together and he sent in Lacy to tell her that he was going on his own."
Eriol frowned, he couldn't think of anything that could make Syaoran that upset.
"Why did they argue about?"
"Syaoran saw her talking to her a guy outside the building and it turns out that the guy happened to be Sakura's ex-fiancee. He doesn't know that though."
"That's good, or else he would've been even more upset"
Eriol said. Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement. She looked up at Eriol,
her eyes shining with worry for her best friend.
"Is there anything you can do? Maybe talk to Syaoran? Sakura is so upset and it breaks my heart to see her this way. You can probably talk some sense into him"
Eriol drew in air deeply,
"I don't know, that'll be hard to do"
Tomoyo muttered a small 'I understand' and her eyes looked sadder then ever.
"I'll give it a try though. I wouldn't want you or Sakura to be sad"
He said with a smile as he cupped Tomoyo's chin and kissed her. Tomoyo
withdrew from the kiss with a smile on her face,
"Thank you, I knew I could count on you!"
She said happily as she hugged him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran had finished his meetings with the chief executive of the bank and was driving in his car when his cell phone rang. Somewhat annoyed, he picked it up.
"what is it?"
He nearly growled into the phone. The other end was silent for a few
seconds and then Eriol's voice came on.
"Syaoran, it's Eriol. Is everything alright? I just got off the phone with Sakura and she sounded as if she was crying"
Syaoran felt a pang in his heart as Eriol told him that his cherry blossom was crying. She was crying because of him and yet he hadn't done anything but walk away from her.
"Syaoran, are you still there?"
Eriol asked after Syaoran didn't answer him for a long period of time.
"yes uhh—when did you talk to her?"
"don't you ever listen to what I say? I said I just got off the phone with her! Syaoran what is going on?"
"nothing, we just got into a small argument"
"I don't think Sakura would be crying if it was that small. What did you do? Or should I say what did you say?"
"I guess...I got sort of jealous when I saw this man walk her to work today. He was hugging and kissing her that...I don't know, it made me lose my temper."
"You shouldn't have gotten made with her. it's not as if she encouraged it. Syaoran, Sakura loves you very much. you should trust be able to trust her fully. If you blow up at any little thing like you did this morning, you'll definitely lose her"
Eriol's last words rang in Syaoran's ears over and over again like a bell.
"Syaoran you heard me?"
Eriol questioned.
"yeah, Eriol I have to make a stop before heading towards the office I gotta go, bye"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura stared aimlessly at her computer screen. She knew she had to get back to work but she didn't have the energy to. Her thoughts would drift to what had happened earlier that day. she internally winced as her words replayed over and over again in her head. How she wished she hadn't said those words. Her door opened and she jumped at the sound.
"I'm sorry Lacy, I still haven't finished with these paperworks, can
you come back in another hour?"
Sakura asked apologetically as she nervously re-arranged some papers
on her desk without looking up. she didn't want Lacy to see her red puffy
eyes. she didn't want her to think something was wrong. But then again,
she probably already knew since Syaoran went alone to the meeting.
"I'll be done in an hour, I promi--"
Sakura gasped when a bouquet of flowers was gently placed in front of her. She looked up in surprise and met Syaoran's gaze. The smile on his face immediately told her that he had forgiven her.
"Sakura, I'm sor--"
Before he could even apologize, Sakura was already in his arms, hugging him tightly and crying softly. Syaoran smiled as he stroked her hair. he raised her chin and kissed her deeply.
"I'm sorry Sakura, I shouldn't have blown up on you like that. You're right I should be able to trust you"
"And I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate and making that comment at the end. I felt so awful afterwards"
Syaoran let out a laugh,
"So I guess we're even huh?"
Sakura laughed too,
"I guess so"
Syaoran took a seat on a chair and pulled Sakura to his lap.
"Sakura, if you don't mind me asking, who was that guy you were talking
to?"
Sakura let out a sigh as she wrapped her arms around Syaoran's neck
and rested her head on his shoulder.
'He has a right to know. You know all about his past it's only right that you tell him about yours'
She said to herself, making up her mind once and for all on what she should do.
Sakura looked into Syaoran's eyes, afraid of his reaction but determined to tell him the truth.
"The guy you saw me with Syaoran...is my ex-fiancee"
By the look on Syaoran's face, Sakura could tell that he was truly surprised.
"Fiancee? How come you never told me you were engaged before?"
There was a little edge on his voice, as if he was trying to hold back
his anger.
"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner Syaoran. It's just that...it used to be a touchy subject for me. But then I met you and that all changed."
She took hold of Syaoran's hand and smiled at him.
"I love you Syaoran. Thanks to you I was able to let go of the past and move on. I had never really gotten over Larry until you came into my life. You erased every trace of him in my heart and replaced it with your love, your warmth"
Syaoran's scowl became a smile as he met Sakura's sparkling emerald eyes. He blushed slightly,
"Do you really mean that?"
Sakura giggled and nodded.
"Of course!"
Syaoran drew her closer and kissed her. he separated from her and stared deeply into her eyes.
"That guy must've been crazy to leave you."
Sakura let out a sigh and shook her head.
"He cheated on me."
She let out a bitter laugh,
"He was my life. We had been together for years, college sweethearts as a matter of fact. A few weeks before our wedding he goes off to France. He said it was a last minute business trip. I later found out that he wasn't scheduled to fly to France so I go there to figure out what's going on. Turns out he was cheating on me with his secretary which also happened to be a good friend of mine"
by the time Sakura finished her story, she was surprised to find that she hadn't shed a single tear while telling it. She smiled to herself, this meant that she had truly moved on. The memory was no longer as painful as it once had been. She looked at Syaoran to see his reaction but he seemed to be frozen in shock.
"That asshole"
Syaoran muttered, as he clenched his fist. How dare he do something like that to Sakura. To his Sakura! Sakura laughed,
"It's okay now Syaoran. I've forgiven him and moved on. I have you now remember?"
Syaoran nodded as he tightened his arms around her waist. He closed his eyes as he hugged her tightly and breathed in her light perfume.
"I'll never hurt you my cherry blossom. You've been through so much already. You deserve only the best"
Sakura smiled as she gently played with his hair,
"I know you'll never hurt me Syaoran...that's why I love you so much"
She whispered softly.
(SN: aww...*squeak* mushy mush mush!!! ^-^)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Larry sat at a table at the cafe across the street tapping his feet impatiently. He looked at his watch and frowned.
'she's never on time...remember that?'
He told himself in reassurance. It was almost 15 min since Sakura was supposed to meet up with him. After a few more minutes, he saw a beautiful young women crossing the street and making her way into the cafe. His anxiety stopped the moment he caught site of her and he smiled, he knew she'd show up. he knew that deep down inside she probably still had feeling for him. He smiled and waved at her direction when she walked into the door. Sakura smiled back and walked up to the table.
"Sakura, I was starting to think you weren't going to show up"
Sakura laughed,
"I'm sorry. I had to finish up some papers before going on my lunch break. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long"
"oh it's okay. You didn't"
The waiter came up to the table and asked what they wanted to eat. Larry placed his order and then the waiter and Larry both turned to look at Sakura expectantly.
"It's okay, I'm not going to have anything"
she said to the waiter. The waiter nodded and left the table. Larry looked at her in confusion.
"what's wrong? You're not hungry?"
"no it's not that. I'm going out to lunch wi—you know what? Never mind, let me get to what I want to say"
Larry nodded, still confused without a doubt.
"Larry it's good to see you again, it really is. But please I don't want you to get the wrong idea here and think that you and I have a chance. I have a boyfriend who I love very much. I don't hold any grudges against you. what happened in the past happened...let's just leave it there"
"Sakura, I don't care if you have a boyfriend! I came back because I lo--"
"Sakura ready to go?"
Larry stopped in mid-sentence when he heard a deep masculine voice. He looked up and saw the same guy he had seen come out of Sakura's apartment a few days ago. Sakura looked at Larry apologetically and stood up from her seat. Syaoran glared at Larry and remained silent. There was no need for introductions, the air was thick as it could possibly be.
"bye Larry"
Sakura said softly. She took hold of Syaoran's hand and the two walked
out of the cafe and into Syaoran's car.
Larry watched as the car pulled into the street and drove away. he eyes flared in anger and he banged his fist on the table.
"It's not over Syaoran Li...Sakura's mine...and that's the way it will always be"
he muttered.
