Flash Back:
"Yes, Auntie Eliza, THE Li family. I'm doing a interview with Yelan Li's son, and she thought it would be more convenient if I moved there until my interview is over," explained Sakura to her short, plump Aunt Eliza. Aunt Eliza wore half moon spectacles, and often tied her light brown hair into a bun. Sakura always thought of her as a second mother since Nadeshiko (Sakura's mother) died when she was small.
"Convenient? Goodness, what if you bother them? How come you never mentioned anything about this Li family? Are you sure it's safe? They're not bad, are they?" Aunt Eliza shot Sakura with questions. Sakura sighed at her paranoid aunt.
"No, I'll be sure that I don't bother them. I just met them the day before yesterday. Yes, I'm a hundred percent sure that it's safe. And no, they are not bad. Besides, Yelan was very...forceful, and I couldn't say no to her. Oh, and Yelan said that should would phone you tonight to assure you that everything's fine," answered Sakura. Right after she said that, the phone rang.
"That's probably this Yelan Li you've been talking about," muttered Aunt Eliza. She went over to pick up the phone.
"Hello? Kinomoto resident. Yes. Yes. Of course. Uh...I'm sure she will. No. Yes, I will make sure of that. No problem. All right. Ja ne!" replied Aunt Eliza to what ever Yelan was saying on the other end of the phone. Aunt Eliza sighed and sank into the sofa.
"Well, I guess you had better be packing,"

At the Li mansion the next day:
"WELCOME! Although this is not your first time here, I'm aware that you have not had a decent tour of this mansion. I have to introduce you to some of the maids here!" exclaimed Yelan, happily. Sakura blushed happily while Wei hauled in her luggage.
"You'll be sleeping in the guest room. That's 2 rooms from my son's room. And you're right across from Mei Lin's. Eriol's room is beside Mei Lin's. My room is at the very end. So if anything happens, you know where to go. All right?" instructed Yelan. Sakura nodded, trying to take in all the information.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
Somewhere very near the Li mansion:
"Who's that girl that just walked into the Li mansion with all those luggages?" asked a man with a crooked nose. He had on dark black sunglasses, and wore a baseball hat.
"How am I supposed to know? Anyway, are we still sticking to Plan M?" a female voice questioned.
"Yeah. We're stickin' to Plan M. If anythin' goes wrong, turn to Plan K," answered the man with the crooked nose.
"This is going to be so good," replied the female. They grinned at each other and drove away.

Li Mansion:
"Wow! You're actually staying here for 2 weeks? That's great! Auntie Yelan would finally have a companion!" cried Eriol. He looked pleased. Syaoran hated that look. He wanted to swipe it right off Eriol's face. 'But whoa...wait a minute, Eriol's my cousin, I'm not supposed to feel this way towards him! What's wrong with me lately? I've been acting weird ever since I met HER. She must have laid a spell on me!' thought Syaoran.
Meanwhile, Sakura was sitting down at the dining room table, happily eating her dinner. She was sitting right across from Eriol, and they seemed to steal glances at each other. Syaoran felt a deep pang in his chest. He wondered if he was ill.
"I'm sure Syaoran would be able to show you the Martial Arts Center tomorrow. Right, Syaoran?" asked Yelan. Syaoran just grunted.
A maid, around the age of 20, that Sakura hadn't seen yet walked in. She was carrying a tray of soup. Walking towards Syaoran to set the soup for Syaoran, she accidentally stumbled on her feet. The bowl of soup flew in the air and landed right on Syaoran's lap.
"OUCH! IT'S HOT! WHO HIRED YOU?" screamed Syaoran in rage. But he stopped yelling as soon as he saw that the maid was close to tears. He sighed.
"It's alright. It's just a slight burn. You're dismissed," announced Syaoran. 'Why was he acting so nice towards that girl?' thought Sakura, somewhat annoyed.
The maid, whose name was Kelly, nodded and whispered something to Syaoran, before she backed out of the room. Syaoran stared after the girl.
"Excuse me, mother, while I go upstairs and change," whispered Syaoran.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
In Syaoran's Room:
Something in Syaoran's heart snapped when he saw the maid's tear filled eyes. She was pretty. She had light brown hair with baby blue eyes. Her face looked soft, and her bangs framed her face perfectly.
'Am I in love? Or is this just an attraction?' thought Syaoran, as he changed into a new pair of pants. Her voice was clear and rich when she whispered, "I'm so sorry," to Syaoran.
'Well, at least that girl's better than that Sakura wench. I hate Sakura! She's so annoying! Always smiling that pathetic little smile!' thought Syaoran. But little did he know, what that pathetic little smile could do to his heart...
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
In Sakura's Temporary Room:
Sakura had finished dinner shortly after Syaoran went upstairs to change. She was busy stacking her clothes in the closet that was provided for her. She phoned Tomoyo and her Aunt. Tomoyo squealed with joy when she heard that Sakura had moved into her "vacation" spot. Aunt Eliza was shooting questions at her. She asked if there were guards there and if her room had a lock on it. All Aunt Eliza's questions were giving her a headache. But right now, she had more pressing manners in her head.
'Why was Syaoran so nice to that maid? He was never this nice to me! I wonder if they have any relationships. Well...it doesn't matter right? I mean he's nobody to me, right? I mean Eriol's so much nicer and I think that he has affection for me too! At least he's better than Syaoran,' thought Sakura. She continued debating in her mind about Eriol and Syaoran. Finally, she came to a conclusion.
'Syaoran probably thinks I'm a slut or a money-hugger anyway. Besides, I hate that hard look on his face when ever he talks to me. I wouldn't like him! No, of course not!'
Little did Sakura know how her 'pathetic little smile' will open up Syaoran's heart, and turn the hard look on his face to a soft, loving look...
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
The Next Morning:
"Good morning Yelan, Eriol and Mei Lin!" cried Sakura happily.
"Well, good morning Sakura!" replied Yelan. Eriol and Mei Lin echoed after Yelan. Mei Lin looked a bit reluctant to greet Sakura, however. But Sakura shrugged it off.
She was all dressed and ready to go for the little tour at the M.A.C (Martial Arts Center). She looked around the dining room table. Kelly, the maid that spilled the soup on Syaoran last night, set her breakfast for her. But Syaoran was nowhere to be seen.
"Uh...where is Syaoran? Aren't we supposed to be going to the M.A.C today?" questioned Sakura. Yelan smiled.
"You woke up early. I wasn't suspecting that. Usually, girls would want to sleep in late. But anyway, Syaoran's out in the garden training. He always trains in the mornings. You could eat your breakfast and then go look for him," explained Yelan. Sakura nodded and sat down, facing Eriol, to eat.
While all this was happening, Kelly was near the entrance to the dining room. When she heard where Master Syaoran was, she quietly slipped out of the dining room, and headed towards the garden, with a bottle of cold water in her hands.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
In the Garden:
Syaoran punched and kicked the air in the garden. He threw punches and looked like he was really concentrating. But his concentration was to a particular girl. Suddenly, he was aware of someone right behind him. He whirled around and came face to face with...
"Good morning, Master Li. I thought that maybe you would like a cold drink," Kelly thrust the bottle of water right in front of Syaoran. The whole time she was talking, she was looking down at her feet. But her voice; it was clear and yet, whispery at the same time. He stood gazing at her for what seemed like a long time. Finally, realizing his manners, he took the bottle from her and mumbled a "thank you".
"You're welcome. If you want, I could bring some more tomorrow. But if you find that distracting, I won't bother. You see, I'm new around here, and I have a lot to learn still," replied Kelly.
"No! Of course not!" Syaoran shook his head, "I don't find that distracting. It's a relief to have a cold drink after a workout,"
Kelly smiled. Then her smile faded. "I have to go back now, but I'll come again to give you another bottle of water tomorrow! Bye!" she called as she ran back towards the door. Her eyes held a sly, mischievous look, but all Syaoran saw were the twinkles in her eyes.
'Am I falling in love? Or...is this a simple crush?' pondered Syaoran.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
In the Dining Room:
"That was an excellent breakfast!" sighed Sakura, satisfied. She smiled faintly at Eriol and got up from her seat. Mei Lin was still elegantly finishing her breakfast. Yelan was reading her morning newspaper, while Eriol fiddled with his food.
"Well, I'll go find Syaoran now. Thanks again for the great food!" Sakura thanked Yelan. Yelan nodded, and Sakura went to the garden to find Syaoran.
As Sakura walked closer towards the garden, she saw a tiny figure running towards her. She realized that it was Kelly, and she was running from the gardens. 'What is she doing in the gardens?' thought Sakura. Then she had a shocking thought, 'What if Syaoran and her are secretly meeting there?'
Sakura's pace picked up. She was practically running towards Kelly. When they finally met Sakura and her stopped a few centimeters from each other.
"Is Syaoran out there?" asked Sakura. She had intended to sound casual, but her voice came out raspy and nervous. Kelly peered at her queerly but whispered, "Yes. Master Li is outside training,"
Sakura nodded and strolled past her. Sakura did not dare look back at Kelly, in case Kelly caught her. Once she walked onto the garden, she saw Syaoran practicing kicks and punches in an opened space. Sakura walked towards his back.
"It's rude to come unannounced, and sneak up behind someone like that," Syaoran suddenly said. Sakura was quite taken back by that comment.
"And whom do you call rude, Mr. This-is-my-house-so-get-out-of-it?" snapped Sakura. Syaoran whirled around, but he did not sense how close Sakura had gotten to him. When he whirled around, he was practically nose- to-nose with Sakura. They stared at each other for a long time, each lost in deep thought, when Sakura suddenly took a step back. That snapped Syaoran out of his trance.
"I...I'll go change and...and...um...I'll be ready soon," stammered Syaoran. Sakura's eyes were fixed on the ground, so she failed to notice the tint of red growing on Syaoran's face. She could only nod in response.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
In Syaoran's Room:
'Oh god. What the hell was I thinking? When I came face to face with Sak...with that wench, I should've turned right away, or snap at her or do SOMETHING besides STARING at her!' thought Syaoran angrily. He was not angry at what he did, but he was rather angry at the feeling that his heart kept giving him. He wondered what kind of illness has symptoms that included loads of blushing, burning face, abnormal beating of heart, and uncomfortable feeling tugging at the heart. His thoughts were interrupted when a faint knock on his door could be heard.
A young girl with sharp ruby eyes appeared at the door. When Syaoran didn't respond to her knocking and her presence, she just took that as an invitation to go into his room. Syaoran was sitting on his bed, putting on his socks.
Mei Lin quietly went across the room, and sat beside him.
"Do you like her?" she suddenly asked. Syaoran's head snapped in her direction.
"Who?" he inquired, taking his time.
"Kinomoto Sakura," she replied. Her eyes were fixed upon his and seemed to burn right through Syaoran's amber orbs. He caught his breath when she said the name 'Sakura'. He recovered quickly and muttered, "Of course not! She's insane! Always has that stupid smile on her face. I bet she would have that smile plastered on her face when someone trips her and she falls right into cow dung!"
Mei Lin, unlike Sakura, noticed the tint of red, growing redder by the second, on Syaoran's cheeks. She pointed that out to him. He only blushed harder. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "I DO NOT LIKE HER, ALRIGHT? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? GET OUT OF MY ROOM, I NEED TO CHANGE TO GET TO WORK!"
Syaoran usually never yelled at his cousin, because a terrible tragedy had happen to her before, causing her coolness, and lack of speech. (A/N: We will not speak of her "tragedy" until later chapters)
Mei Lin looked like she was slapped right across the face. She only stood up and walked out the door. Syaoran knew that he was Mei Lin's closest friend.
Syaoran immediately regretted his rude outburst. But he made no attempt to apologize to Mei Lin right then. 'I'll apologize later," he thought, and went downstairs to meet Saku...to go to work.
#. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #. #
Downstairs:
"There you are! I was beginning to worry if you fell down the toilet or something," commented Sakura, when Syaoran came downstairs fully dressed and ready to work.
"Just keep your mouth shut, and maybe I'll reconsider cracking your skull right now," Syaoran replied coolly. Then in a monotone voice he instructed, "Tell Wei to guide you to the car I normally drive to work, I'll meet you there right after I talk to mother,"
Sakura nodded and strolled over to Wei.
"Could you take me to Syaoran's car? The one he uses to drive to work?" asked Sakura, politely. Wei nodded and took her outside.
Standing before her was a clean Mercedes Bens (A/N: I think that's how you call them...) Her jaw twitched when she thought of her family in Japan. The only car they can afford is a second hand one. Syaoran doesn't even acknowledge his fortune.
But without saying a single word, she got into the passenger seat of the car, and waited. And waited. Until finally he came out and got into the car. His jaw was clenched and he looked quite angry. 'What's his problem?' thought Sakura.
No, the ride was not a very pleasant one. Neither Sakura nor Syaoran would utter one single word, except "Turn down the radio". Is this love? Or is this hate? You'll find out in the following episodes of...Lost Love.
(A/N): LOL I just wanted to end the chapter like that. I'm getting too sleepy BUT! PLZ REVIEW!! AND I LOVE YOU ALL WHO REVIEWED.... I never thought my story would get 10 reviews...I thought I'd only get lyke...3 or something But thanks anyways!! Until next time!
