Chapter 2: His tainted memories
Sakura Kinomoto was having a hectic day. She never knew that she was able to get a job. She was working at the Li Cooperation. The Li Cooperation is where they make products, which they sell them successfully. Working as Mr. Li's personal secretary was not her idea as a job. But, she accepts it since she was fast at typing and successful at going through clients without a problem.
Still, something was nagging in her mind of the scene during the interview with her boss. For some reason, she found herself blushing under Mr. Li's gaze. The question is why? Why did you blush when her boss was staring at her?
She dismissed that thought as she realized it was lunchtime. She walked to the elevator to press the button that had it's arrow descending. But, her thoughts were interrupted when she realized a certain dark brown hazel eye boss was standing next to her, smiling.
"Why, hello Ms.Kinomoto. May I ask where are you going today?" asked Mr.Li, standing there, rocking his shoes like a little boy.
"I was just heading out for lunch, Mr.Li," Sakura said, turning back her head, facing the elevator, pressing the floor 1 button and the elevator's doors close. The ride down the elevator was quiet..too quiet. Serena couldn't believe her freaking luck. Here she was, trap with her baka boss and the ride on the elevator isn't helping much either. For what it seems like eternity, the elevator for instance, was going slow, way too slow, in Sakura's opinion.
'Oh, lord. Have mercy on me. I hate being stuck here any more longer. Especially with my baka of a boss-which he is-but he's mad annoying. Especially with this morning. How rude of him! Staring at them like I am some piece of object-which I am NOT!'
The elevator ended up in the first floor, and Sakura brushed past Syaroan and attempt to walk out of the automatic doors. 'Just a couple more steps and I am free-well, until my lunch break is over.'
"Miss. Kinomoto?"
'Great. What does he wants now?' She turns swiftly and saw Mr. Li standing there with a idiotic grin on his face. Sakura wish then no more than to suppress that grin off his face.
"Yes Mr.Li?" Sakura said sweetly.
"I just wanted to know, since you weren't suppose to start until tomorrow, I like to thank you that, by treating you to lunch. How about it?" asked Mr. Li.
'Hm..an opportunity to have lunch with him? But, I can't. I promised Touya and father that I'll meet them for lunch. I'll have to decline, since why would I want to spend anymore time with him? He's one weird boss, always staring. Typical mens. Chauvinistic men!' though Sakura, since she mentally scowl at him. "I'm sorry, but I already had plans for today."
If it wasn't her imagination, she could have sworn that he had scowl. But, she could have been wrong, since he smiled at her instead, "That's alright, Miss. Kinomoto. Maybe next time." He walked out of the automatic doors, and into the limousine that was waiting outside for him. Shrugging, she walked out the automatic doors, and went to her own separate way.

Syaoran didn't like one bit from what he had just faced back in the lobby. Nobody had ever refused him. Sure, he was quite a playboy, but nobody minded any bit of it. The more he pushed away, the more girls chasing his way. But, he couldn't help but wonder of this particular woman. Ever since he had lost his memories when he was little, nobody had ever given this type of feeling that he was feeling today. He would always block them out with his protective wall so they would never sweep in and just totally take control of it. No, he needed to take control and be strong. But, a while ago, all of his defense had fell when that auburn beauty had walked into office.
Sure, he had been attractive to women before, but never had they ever let his defensive wall down. No, he reminded himself, it's probably just lust. Yes, lusting after her was no abnormalcy. It was just a struck of lust that had filled his heart this way. Boy, did he lusted for her.
An idea had struck him. Yes, that would be it. Lusting after her isn't enough. He wanted to possess her. With those sweet and curvy lips, he wanted to claimed her lips with a kiss. Not to mention the innocent aura that she had around her. He wants to possess her now! Gripping the leather seat, from inside the limousine, he had set himself a task, which he would become victor at the end.
He would claimed Sakura Kinomoto as his. And it's just lust after all that he's feeling. Nothing more.

Sakura arrived at the restaurant where she was suppose to be meeting her father and her brother, Touya. Her mother had passed away when she was a little girl. She barely remember her, but her father and brother never failed to tell her anything about her mom. They would keep pictures around the house to remind them that she is with them everyday. Pushing the double doors, she walked over to her waiting table where her brother had arrived. Typical Touya. Always arrived earlier than her. Grabbing one of the two chairs that were left, she sat down, "Hey Touya."
Touya looked up. His black, silky black hair fell upon his black eyes. He smirked, "Now, what do you know, the little monster showed up. It's about time twerp." Touya wasn't your typical brother where they would greet you back. Instead, he would teased her endlessly, and Sakura would always fight back with him. Things still haven't changed.
Keeping her cool, she calmly said, "Don't call me monster, Touya."
"Aww, what's the matter, the monster ran out of things to say?"
Sakura gritted her teeth, "No, in fact, I have plenty to say!"
"Then say it."
She was about to say more, but her father appeared, looking tired. Her father was the greatest father to her. He had done everything to be both a mother and father role model. He tried his best to substitute the absence of her mother. But, forever, she would know that deep inside her heart, her father is the best the way he is. His brunette-brownish hair had stayed the same, but his face had grown older. He was stilled a teacher teaching at the university. He loved his job so much that he continued researching that always comes into a mystery.
Sakura got up and hugged her father, who returned the hug. Touya just nodded his head to his father. Sitting down at the table, the family ordered lunch. During lunch, Sakura's father, Fujitaka asked Sakura about her job, "By the way Sakura, how was job hunting? Were you able to get a job?"
Touya made a snide comment only Sakura can hear it, "Bet she didn't . They probably realized that she's a monster and wasn't able to get a job." Sakura ignored that comment, "Actually, I did got a job. I got a job as the personal secretary of Li Corporations today. Isn't that great?"
Fujitaka smiled while Touya frowned. Sakura wanted to know what was wrong, but she decided to go against it. After they finished lunch, they went their separate ways. Fujitaka went back to the university and Touya went back to work, working in some other company. Sakura headed back down to Li Corporations to begin working again.

As usual, Syaroan had lunch by himself. He never had lunch with anybody. Nobody was worthy enough to eat with him, was always the thoughts inside the 26 year old bachelor man. Instead, somehow, his mind had thought back the day after he was released from the hospital.
:: Flashback::
Young Syaroan was sitting on the hospital beds, wearing new sets of clothes that was different from the ones that he had came in with. He stared outside of his window, the sky was baby blue, and the sun shone brightly. He sighed. Outside was such a beautiful day, and what's he doing? He's inside, looking outside the window and watch the patients outside enjoying the serene weather. He touched his head, he stilled had his bandages on his head and yet, he stilled haven't remember anything. Having amesia at a very young age wasn't a very good sign. But, he is determined to regain his memories back. A knock on the door had interrupted his thoughts. A nurse was at the door, "Syaoran, somebody is here to pick you up," the nurse said gently to the child.
Getting off the bed, he followed the nurse to the main lobby, where a young woman was waiting for him. The young woman had red-brownish hair with gentle hazel eyes. She smiled down at Syaroan, and bend down to his level, "Hello Syaraon. My name is Miss. Kaho Mizuki. I'll be taking you to your new home today. In that new home, you'll find other kids who would be the same age as you. Are you all set?"
Syaroan nodded silently. When he had got in the hospital, there wasn't any belongings that came with him. The only item that was with him was a small kind of a piece of paper. It was a card, with a picture shape of a heart with wings. On the bottom, there were some inscriptions that has the words, The Love. He had spend a great deal looking over the card. He hoped it had at least given him some clues about who he was and all about him. But, without any luck, he wasn't able to.
Kaho held Syaroan's hand and they walked together to her car, which was parked outside in the parking lot. Strapping him with the seatbelt, she drove the car in silence. The car finally reached in front of a big sort of 2 story building. Kaho turned to the fragile boy, who was crutching his jeans in fist. Gently, she said, "We're here. I'm sure you'll like the place."
Syaroan stared at the building. There were children outside playing with each other. Some were at the playground, others were running around in the grass and some children were just observing the scene before them. Getting out of the car, he told tightly Kaho's hand as she lead him inside the area. The children stopped playing and looked up at the newcomer. Some whispered around asking each other whose the boy's identity and such. Others just stared at him, like he was some kind of a stranger. Kaho smiled warmly to the children, "Children, we have a new addition to our family. This is Li Syaroan. He'll be living with us for a while. Why don't you make him feel like home?"
Children gathered around him. They were all staring at him. He didn't like the attention, but the children around him kept asking rapidly questions about him, especially about his head, which was wrapped around in bandages.
"What happened to you?"-"What is that on your head?"-"Eww...what are you wearing?"-"Hey kid, what in the world is that?"
Rapidly questions were asked, and Syaoran didn't know what to do. He tried get away from all the madness going on-especially those questions that he felt uncomfortable with. Stepping away from the hyper children, he tried to pried off some childrens' grip on him. When he couldn't take it anymore, he yelled, "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Immediately, the children let go off him and standed back; frightened. Syaroan stood there, all shocked; when he couldn't take the staring, he ran off to some direction outside the orphanage.
::End of Flashback::
Syaoran cringed at that memory. He stared absently at his glass of wine that he had on his table. He tightened his hold on the glass, which shattered, and his hand was filled with wine and broken glass. Waiters hurried over to his table to cleaned up the mess. He stared at his hands, too caught up with his memories. Why did he have to think back of that? Those memories of the orphanage should be wiped out already. He didn't really want to experience any more of that pain. Cleaning up the drink, he got up and paid for his meal and left.
