» Chapter 3: The Fall

» Disclaimer: The only thing that belongs to me is the plot and fanfiction.

» Hey everyone! Here is the next chapter that you all have been wanting to see and I try to update every week so you should see this story updated on the weekends. I'm so happy to see all the reviews and it was definitely more than I expected! Can't wait to hear from you all to what you think of this chapter!! One more thing that I would like to say. For those people who have dirty minds about Syaoran from the last chapter [for those who know what I mean] he isn't. But that was funny when I realized that. XD

"Curse him! I can't believe that man!" Sakura shouted out to no one in particular.

She paced around the room letting her anger out until she stopped herself because she got the realization of what she was doing.

"Why do I bother what he says or thinks? I can do whatever I would like to do." She said to herself and studied the room that was now 'hers'.

'I wish Mom had just send me to stay with Tomoyo while they were having so much fun...'

The walls of the rooms were a light shade of pink and it looked like a regular guest room that anyone would stay in except for the fact that it was three times the size of Sakura's own room at her house. You could tell that the room had been furnished. A slight breeze came seeping through an ajar window which sent fresh air through the room.

Sakura began to unpack her belongings onto her bed until the two luggages were empty and she carried the luggages into a closet beside the bed. Before she did anything else, she took out her Clow Cards and put them under her pillow to keep them safe and not seen. She then organized all the clothing into the closets and cabinets. After that, she organized her accessories on a dresser the was on the opposite side if her bed. In doing this, it took her about two hours so she decided to go directly into bed and get some rest.

Sleeping in a room that did not belong to her made Sakura feel uncomfortable. Even as she walked through the halls of the unfamiliar mansion or being with Li. As she closed her eyes, she waited for a few minutes and lay still on her bed. That didn't help so she kept moving around, side to side and she still couldn't get to sleep.

Sakura sat up on her bed while looking at the clock on a small table that showed it was already ten minutes to six. Seeing that she she would never get to sleep soon, she decided to do something.

"I think I should get something to eat before I starve myself to death." Sakura said to herself as she heard her stomach grumble.

Sakura headed downstairs toward the kitchen. It was so big that she didn't know where to look first. As she walked toward a table, she found a small note that looked like it had been ripped from a book. Curious to know what it said, she decided to read the note.

'Dear Sakura and Syaoran,

If you would like to have some snacks of some sort, there will be two cabinets on the left side of the stove filled with snacks. If you would like to have dinner or lunch you can check the refrigerator and freezer so I hope you will know how to cook Sakura. Lastly, if you would like to have breakfast you can find foods such as cereal and oatmeal the cabinets next to the sink. Hope both of you have fun while we are gone!!

"Yeah...like I will have a great time with Syaoran." Sakura said sarcastically and put the note back down on the table.

Before Sakura did anything and stopped to think what the note just said.

"Oh great. I'm in big trouble." Sakura said aloud.

'I don't know how to cook!!!'

'What do I do now?'

'I'll think about it later.' Sakura thought when her stomach growled again.

She hasn't ate anything since this morning.

When she found what she wanted to eat and finished it, she went back to her room and sat on her bed with a very bored face. She paused for a moment and thought of what she should do.

'Maybe I should go outside.'

Sakura paused for a moment again.

'Or maybe not....I might get in trouble.' Sakura thought because she had just remembered that no one was aloud to go outside.

'But they never said I couldn't I couldn't go in the garden, that is still considered part of the mansion.'

Finally making her decision, she quietly went downstairs and looked around, checking to make sure that Syaoran was anywhere to be seen. She didn't want him seeing her wandering around outside.

She carefully opened the lock on the door and turned it without making a sound but with only a squeak as she pulled the door open. The sky was still bright but it would get dark soon so she quickened her pace as she made her way into the garden.

As Sakura made her way, she looked at her surroundings that were filled with all sorts of plants and trees. Everything around her was so beautiful. All her worries and thoughts were gone because she was too busy admiring the serene place.

She finally got to the garden where she found flowers that were familiar to her and others that she had never even seen before. Her hair swayed in the breeze as she bent down to study the unfamiliar flowers. They were all so pretty and all the flowers left a scent that drifted through the air. She got up and decided to just walk around until she found a cherry blossom tree that was perfect to sit under.

Unknown to her was that someone's amber eyes were watching her.

Sakura sat under the cherry blossom and looked at the petals as they flew into the air. She began to feel a bit drowsy so closed her eyes while letting a breeze flow past her.

'I'll just take a small nap.'

She leaned on the cherry blossom tree. Being in a place that was so calm and quiet had an affect on her and made her sleepy.

"What do you think your doing here?" A cold voice in front of Sakura interrupted her from her sleep. The voice belonged to no other than Li, Syaoran.

"Ahhh!!! Y-o--you startled me." Sakura said while calming herself down. She didn't hear him or see him come which got her off guard.

'That's weird...'

'Why didn't I even feel his presence?'

"Hi Syaoran! When did you get here?" Sakura said cheerfully while dismissing her question that she had asked herself. Her heart began to skip for some odd reason when she saw Li. This was another question added to her thoughts.

"Don't call me that, you have no right to. You can only call me Li." He sounded angry and Sakura noticed this. She felt a bit disappointed. As she looked at him, she realized that he was almost a head taller than her. He looked like he worked out a lot but not too much to make him look too buff. Sakura really didn't like people who were buff because they were a bit scary.

"Huh..? Oh, but--" Sakura was trying to answer Li but he had cut in so she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

"And what do you think your doing outside here, Kinomoto?" Li's voiced got a bit louder. Sakura flinched when Li had said her last name. "You know that you not aloud to go outside." Li pointed out as he walked closer to her but Sakura did not notice this.

"Says who? It's my life and I can do what I want with it." Sakura said. "And stop bossing me around like I am like a little child!" Sakura exclaimed.

'Why does he always do this!'

'Does he really hate me that much?'

'Did I do something wrong?'

'Oh what am I thinking..why would he like me anyway.'

'I shouldn't worry. I'll only be here for two weeks.'

"Never mind. I'm sorry. I'll go back inside." Sakura said in a soft voice as she slowly walked back into the house with her head down. If you looked closely, you would notice the sadness that had covered her face and Syaoran noticed this as well but he turned his head away.

As Sakura walked into the house and into her room she began to think.

'No!! I can't let him get me down.'

'I have to be able to stand up for myself!'

But as she was in her thoughts, she tripped on her shoelace. She cursed at herself for being careless. She panicked for something to keep her balance before she got hurt but she couldn't find anything to hold to.

"Ahh!!" Sakura screamed.

But luckily, she found something to prevent her from falling and getting hurt at the last minute.

Sakura was relieved that she didn't fall but her head was looking down on the floor. She sighed because of her clumsiness.

What caught her interest at that moment was that, what did prevented her from falling. She looked up to see what or who it was.

'Oh my gosh!'

Sakura gasped as she saw who it was.

"Syaoran!"
