Just Breathe

Chapter 7: Unexpected Guest

"I can't believe you actually agreed to this," Syaoran said to her as he pulled the car out of the driveway, Sakura at his side.

"That's because I didn't," Sakura grumbled just loud enough for him to hear. He, in response, just shook his head chuckling, and turned on the radio as a soft medley began to play.

"We're going to get dinner and then watch the movie alright?" He asked as he glanced over to her breathtaking form before retuning it to the road. She was wearing a short white skirt that reached her mid thigh with a v-neck pink top that was tied to the side, exposing her cleavage and some of her stomach. She let her hair down in soft waves and wore no make-up other than the shiny chap stick she always used for the moisture. Syaoran wore a silky forest green shirt with black dress pants as his hair was left untamed, not even bothering to try and fix it. For all of the years he had been alive everyone had tried to make his hair stay in place. Someone had yet to succeed.

"We're not watching a horror movie," she stated the moment he finished his sentence.

"On the contrary," he remarked almost immediately, not missing a beat, as he pulled two tickets from his pocket. "Apparently it's oldies night and they're showing a bunch of movies form the 80s and such. I've got two tickets for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

"You have got to be kidding me!" Sakura exclaimed. She had seen many versions of that movie thanks to Naoko, and all times, she had nightmares the next night. At this comment, Syaoran mocked a gasp.

"You mean to tell me that the big bad Kinomoto Sakura is scared of an itty bitty horror movie?" Syaoran asked in a babyish voice. Sakura merely scowled, shooting many glares at him.

"Of course not!" She scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Good," he smirked. 'Ahh, still the stubborn Sakura. This should definitely prove to be interesting.'

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God," Sakura kept on chanting over and over aloud as she tightly clutched onto Syaoran's sleeve, her emerald eyes wide with horror. Syaoran winced as she dug her relatively long nails into his flesh. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. At that very thought, Sakura yelped and jumped into his arms. Scratch that, this was a great idea! Instinctively, he pulled her close to him and began stroking her back while she hid her face in his shirt as he smiled all the while. Of course, this wasn't the best reason for him holding her in his arms like they were together… but it was a reason wasn't it? When he looked at the screen, he realized what she had been so scared of. It showed the man cut off pieces of one of the victim's skin, while he was still alive of course, then sew it onto the other pieces of flesh that hung from his face. Needless to say, it was quite…graphic. Syaoran made a face. He instinctively held her closer as she shrieked once more, hearing the chainsaw and the sound of a woman screaming, as if he were protecting her from the villain in the movie.

Finally after much spilled popcorn, the movie hand ended, but that hadn't stopped Sakura from being scared out of her mind.

"They still haven't caught him Li! What if he's right here in Hong Kong! He could be just about anyone!" Sakura cried as she tightly held onto her fiancée's sleeve.

"Sakura, relax," Syaoran said to her laughing as he pulled her close to him by the waist. Suddenly, Sakura felt a large hand clasp on her shoulder as she let out a shriek and jumped onto Syaoran, who held her tightly in his arms.

"Who are you?" Syaoran asked narrowing his eyes at the man before him. He had spiky navy blue hair and cobalt colored eyes. (Refer to prologue)

"Sakura, don't you recognize me?" he asked with a light smirk on his face.

"Oh… hi Daniel," Sakura said bitterly, as she looked over her shoulder. Once she noted it was him, she turned around, leaning against Syaoran chest, holding onto the arms that Syaoran had around her as if they kept her from falling.

"How have you been?" He asked casually, returning the venomous glare Syaoran was giving him.

"Engaged," Sakura smirked at him, holding up her hand as the giant diamond ring shone on her manicured ring finger.

"I see," he spat. "To this? Or he just another play toy?" Daniel asked again, as it was his turn to smirk.

"Am I missing something here?" Syaoran asked, with a cocked eyebrow, not liking the guy's attitude towards his Sakura.

"Well you see. Little Sakura always did like to date the men of the town for a few days, then get another one. I was the last one from Japan," he smirked at the amber-eyed man.

"Is this true Sakura?" Syaoran asked her. She merely shrugged, looking down. He lifted her chin with a soft smile, as he planted a soft kiss on her lips. When they pulled apart, they smiled at one another before she pulled him close and whispered in his ear,

"I'm only letting you do this so he'll leave me alone," she whispered before pulling away smiling.

"Of course Sakura," Syaoran said to her smiling, a hint of both anger and amusement glittering in his eyes. "We really have to go now… whatever you name is… we have to start planning for the wedding some more. Do hope you'll make it," Syaoran said to the man before him bitterly, before leading Sakura out of the theatre. Although Syaoran kept his gaze before, he never did miss the smirk planted on the other man's lips.

"An explanation would be nice," Syaoran said to his fiancée the moment they reached the car.

"Of what?" Sakura asked in a bored tone as she played with her ring. To many people, it looked as if she didn't have a care in the world. But many of her close friends knew she only played with jewelry when she was nervous.

"Of what the hell just happened! Was what the guy said true?! What did he mean by another play toy?! I need some answers Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed as he started up the ignition, pulling out of the parking lot.

"He was just one of the old boyfriends I had back in Japan," Sakura answered simply regaining her composure. When she saw the bewilderment on his face, she sighed in a frustrated tone and continued with an extent of an explanation she felt she owed him, although she hadn't the slightest clue why. "And so what? He said I played around with guys… and I did. I just dated them for a while then dumped them. I'm not like you… I didn't sleep with them," Sakura countered a tinge of bitterness coating her usual cold tone, not liking the way he was demanding things of her. And he was yelling too! She always hated it when he was angry and yelled at her.

"What do you mean you're not like me?! I didn't sleep with every girl I dated then dumped them!" Syaoran exclaimed in rage.

"Oh puhlease," Sakura cried out as she threw her arms above with the motion of rolling her eyes.

"I didn't! I just kissed them… a lot," Syaoran proclaimed, mumbling the last part.

"And groped them all the time. Don't forget that part dear," Sakura added as she rolled her eyes once more. Syaoran knew that this was true, so he simply shut up as he and the lady in the passenger seat fumed, extremely pissed off at one another.
