Chapter Seven

Finding the truth in you

Syaoran was sitting in his chair. For the past three days, he had been working on the agreement. Especially when he found out the meeting is going to be with HIS company, he was finding a way which will benefit the two. But nothing seems to be able to fix the problem. He sighed in the chair.

Flashback

"I'm going, Mother," Syaoran bowed to his mother.

"I'm looking forward to your perform in the meeting, Syaoran," Yelan told him, "But I'm not going to go easy on you even if you are my son."

"I understand," Syaoran replied.

"And Syaoran," Yelan continued, "Please realize your feeling."

End of Flashback

'Realize my feeling?' Syaoran thought. 'What is it that Mother wants to realize? Is it got to do with what Shi had told me earlier that day?' A sudden and loud 'Boom' followed by 'Hoe' made making Syaoran sighed.

"Sakura, what are you doing?" Syaoran shouted as he walked out of the room and down the stairs.

"Nothing, Syaoran-kun," Sakura replied, she looked at the mess she had made in the kitchen. She had bought a lot of food when she knew Yukito was coming with her brother tomorrow. Except she had fall over when she tried to pack them neatly together. Syaoran peeped into the room and stared around. Sakura sweatdropped when she saw Syaoran staring at her.

"What were you doing with that much of food?" Syaoran asked again.

"Ahm..." Sakura looked at the floor. She didn't know how to explain to Syaoran with all the mess.

"What?" Syaoran looked at her with his narrowed eyes.

"I thought I should buy some stuff to replace what we ate from the refrigerator," Sakura lied.

"And you bought that much?" Syaoran asked in suspiciously.

"Oh well," Sakura tried to seek another lie to cover the first, "They were having an offer."

"Really, Sakura?" Syaoran asked again as he walked over to her; he knew she was lying.

Sakura looked at Syaoran who was standing in front of her. She could feel herself turning red and hot. She had wanted him to be close to her. For the past few days, he had been busy with the agreement, and Sakura had helped him to prepare his three meals. She knew he is trying to get the best agreement for the upcoming meeting and promised herself not to disturb Syaoran. Syaoran smiled at Sakura who looked at the floor, and not wanting to meet his eyes. He took Sakura's left hand and kissed it lightly. Sakura looked up at Syaoran, meeting his ember eyes. Syaoran stared into her emerald eyes; a sudden urge to kiss her made him lean in and blush his lips against hers. His other free hand wrapped around her waist and brought her near him. Sakura closed her eyes as she leaned in to kiss him back. He deepened the kiss. He enjoyed kissing this girl. Well, it should be that he misses her kisses. He had not kiss her even seen they met his mother. Neither of them was willing to pull away from each other. When they finally pulled away from each other, they were almost breathless.

"You are getting good at this," Syaoran told her, still holding her in his arm.

"Am I?" Sakura asked.

"You are," Syaoran smiled as he ran his finger through her hair. When Syaoran was about to kiss her again, the door bell rang, making them to break off from each other. (Sorry, I break the fun again.)

"You answer or I answer?" Sakura asked.

"You," Syaoran replied. Sakura nodded her head and walked out of the room. Syaoran leaned against the table and let out another sigh. Why did he feel so right with Sakura? And how many times had he asked himself this question? He can't seem to figure out anything. Sakura went and opened the door.

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo shouted as she jumped on her friend again.

"Tomoyo-chan? What's up?" Sakura asked.

"Let's go, I need you to come along with me," Tomoyo shouted, as she pulled Sakura along with her.

"Wait, Tomoyo-chan, what's going on?" Sakura asked. Syaoran had walked out of the kitchen in time to see Tomoyo pulling Sakura along with her.

"The fashion show is in 3 hours time," Tomoyo smiled wickedly at Sakura.

"3 hours?!" Sakura shouted in shocked, "But I thought it is tomorrow!"

"They want it today," Tomoyo replied, "I need another model, Sakura-chan."

"Not again, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura shouted. She had helped Tomoyo model before.

"Please Sakura-chan, help me," Tomoyo pleased with her puppy face. Sakura sweatdropped. What can she do to reject Tomoyo?

"Fine, I will help," Sakura sighed unwillingly.

"Arigato, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo jumped up and down.

"Let's go, Tomoyo! Or we will be late!" Eriol shouted across to them.

"Let's go, Sakura-chan. Li-kun, come along too!" Tomoyo shouted as she went behind Syaoran and pushed the both of them along.

"What? Me too?" Syaoran asked as he recovered from the shock.

"Too late," Tomoyo smiled as she pushed the two of them into the car. The moment they all got in, Eriol immediately let down the brake and they blasted off. Within minutes, they had reached the Daidouji Company. Tomoyo pushed Sakura to the backstage while Eriol brought Syaoran along with him.

"Care to explain what is going on?" Syaoran asked as he walked along with Eriol.

"Oh, well," Eriol sighed, "The Designer Co. had a sudden change in the schedule, placing the fashion design today. Unfortunately, one of the models had an accident thus she can't walk for the show. Therefore, Tomoyo thought of asking Sakura to help walk."

"Is she alright with that?" Syaoran asked.

"I heard from Tomoyo that Sakura's mother was once a model," Eriol replied.

'Sakura's mother was a model? Isn't it the same as Fujitaka's wife?' Syaoran thought. 'This has to be coincident.'

"Talking about that, Sakura never tell much about herself," Syaoran told him, "She only told me that her mother taught her magic and died when she was 8." When Syaoran spoke about it, a sudden thought interrupted.

'Sakura's mother died when she was 8. Fujitaka's wife was died about that period of time. Sakura's mother was a model and so is Fujitaka's wife. This is too coincident. Can Sakura be?' Syaoran thought. 'But she said that she is Kinoyoto. Not Kinomoto.'

Sakura was dressed in a white sleeveless top and hyper short pinkish skirt. (Well the design on the clothes is the main purpose. But I'm not good in description. So forgive me.) Having a little makeup, Sakura stood behind the stage waiting for her turn to arrive. When her turn finally arrived, Sakura walked gracefully across the stage. The spotlight shone brightly at her, making her shine. Tomoyo smiled for she chose the right person. Syaoran and Eriol were in front of the stage. Syaoran stared at Sakura with his mouth opened. She looked especially beautiful in the spotlight and clothes. But the skirt is a little too short, and he didn't like it when the guys in the front row were practically staring at her... Shaking his head hard, he wondered why he was feeling a little jealous. Sakura is only his secretary, not his lover or what.

I told you, you fall in love with her already.

I did?

If you are not, you wouldn't be feeling jealous.

So what if I am feeling jealous?

It only proves you are in love with her.

I'm in love with her?

Syaoran looked at Sakura and he could feel himself blushing. He had really fallen in love with her then. It is love he's been feeling for the past few days from Sakura. He actually felt himself at home in her presence.

'Realize your feeling.' The sentence that his mother told him played in his mind.

'So this is what you want me to find out, Mother. Now I realize.' Syaoran thought.

Sakura stood at the end of the stage as she waited for the rest of the models and Tomoyo to walk out from the backstage. Sakura could see clearly Syaoran at the front seat, blushing madly at her. She blushed slightly. She wished that all of these could end soon. She wanted to get out of those clothes. Finally, everything was over and Sakura walked over to Syaoran and Eriol. Tomoyo was surrounded by reporters. But before she could go over, a group of men surrounded her.

"Hey lady, want to have fun with us tonight?" One of the men asked. (I wondered why I put these kinds of guys in.)

"Sorry, but I'm busy today," Sakura replied firmly as she tried to walk past them.

"Having a date with another guy?" the man asked as he held her arm. Sakura had enough of the guy and grabbed his hand, gave it a twist and threw him over. The other men looked at her in surprise, backing a little from her.

"Anymore want punishment from me?" Sakura asked as she turned to face the men. The men scattered off in fear. Sakura smiled and walked over to Syaoran and Eriol who watched in enjoyment at Sakura's performance.

"So you want some too?" Sakura asked, still smiling.

"No thanks, Sakura-chan," Eriol replied, "I wouldn't want a black eye."

"You can't beat me," Syaoran replied, smirking.

"Oh, really?" Sakura asked.

"We can fight at home, not here," Syaoran told her.

"Why can't we?" Sakura asked.

"I wouldn't want people to mistake about us," Syaoran smirked even bigger.

"Is that right?" Sakura asked.

"Ahm... maybe," Syaoran looked away to spot Tomoyo walking to them.

"Arigato, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo thanked her, "You save me in the eleventh hour."

"That's what friends for right?" Sakura smiled.

"You are neglecting me, my dear," Eriol coughed, as he was being left out in the group.

"Sorry, Honey," Tomoyo giggled and gave him a peck at his cheek. Sakura and Syaoran looked at the couple and then at each other. They are such a lovely couple.

"Ready to go home, dear?" Eriol asked.

"Ready when you are," Tomoyo replied, happily.

"Don't you need to get things settled here?" Sakura asked.

"Ready settled," Tomoyo smiled, "Eriol, let's send our guests home shall we?"

"Anything you say," Eriol replied.

On the way home, Tomoyo told them about what the reporter asked, what she replied. And most of the time, she was talking about how cute Sakura is in that costume and how she would design Sakura's next costume which made Sakura sweatdropped. After reaching home, Sakura and Syaoran bid goodbye to the couple as they watched the car disappear round the corner before walking into the house. Sakura remembered she hadn't clear up the mess in the kitchen and walked in. Seeing that he had nothing better to do, Syaoran decided to help Sakura with the packing.

"So why is the reason you bought so many food? I'm sure it's not a sale," Syaoran asked, helping her. Sakura stared at the food she was carrying and sighed.

"Yukito is coming with Fujitaka and Touya," Sakura replied.

"Yukito?" Syaoran asked. He was sure that was a guy's name and he could feel his heart stopped beating.

"He is Touya's secretary, my assistance secretary. When I'm not around, he will replace me," Sakura replied.

"So?" Syaoran asked, trying to act as if he didn't care about this Yukito guy, but his voice had betrayed him.

"He is really good at eating, and eats practically everything," Sakura giggled, "So I thought I just buy enough to supply him with food." Sakura carried her last pack of food and placed it neatly in the storage. After listening to Sakura's explanation, Syaoran felt pain in his heart. She cared a lot for that Yukito guy and he didn't like the feeling of this. Walking over to Sakura, he pulled her into another hug. Sakura was caught off-guarded by Syaoran's action.

"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura whispered, wondering what was wrong with him.

"Sakura..." Syaoran whispered under his breath. He wants her after he realized he had fallen in love with her. He kissed her by the lips while his hand found their way down her body. Sakura closed her eyes as she enjoyed the kiss Syaoran gave her. Pulling away the kiss, Syaoran nibbled down her neck, making Sakura moaned and unbuttoning her clothes.

"Syaoran..." Sakura's voice made Syaoran stopped and looked up at her.

"What is it, Sakura?" Syaoran asked as he stared into her eyes.

"Is it alright to do this?" Sakura asked.

"You can refuse me, you know," Syaoran told her.

"If I refuse you?" Sakura asked.

"I will take you in by force," Syaoran replied.

"You are already taking me by force," Sakura told him, smiling at Syaoran.

"You want me to ask you for permission?" Syaoran asked.

"Yes," Sakura replied, making Syaoran sweatdropped. Syaoran smiled at her childishness. She is really a girl so different from the rest.

"Can I have you forever, Miss Sakura Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked with a smile.

"How did you know my surname?" Sakura asked in shock.

"I figure that part out," Syaoran told her, "So can you stay with me?"

"Maybe not," Sakura lied.

"What?! Why?" Syaoran asked, getting a little serious.

"Relax, Syaoran-kun, I was just joking," Sakura told him giving him a quick peck.

"I love you, Sakura," Syaoran told her. Shock at first, Sakura smiled even brighter and gave him another quick kiss.

"I love you too, Syaoran." They kissed each other with such passion that one can never know and...

Hahaha... Please forgive me... I can't write the rest of the part. I'm not good in that, you know 'sex' part.

Another explanation part for SakuraKP: Yelan doesn't like Mei now, since Mei left her son once. So she doesn't trust MEi anymore.

And to Willy, I'm really sorry. Can't add in too much fighting in this chapter.

To AnimeLover, Sakura isn't weak. She is just any other girl with imagination. And I'm sorry she didn't use magic to fight in this chapter. There will be only one chapter in which she would fight someone for Syaoran. Opps... I just let out my secret.

To sakura tenshi.AnGeL oF lOvE, everyone love Sakura, but Sakura belongs to Syaoran. So sorry people, no one is taking Sakura away from Syaoran.

Sorry people, I'm not really into writing for the past few days. Think I have some mental block. So please forgive me for writing this kind of lousy chapter.

Signing off, Kit, the weird girl.
