Last Chapter:
Sakura sat in the bench by the street. It has been 10 minutes and still she can't get into a cab. The weather is not so good either and tiny droplets of water are beginning to fall from the sky. She needs to get home or Yukito will be worried of her.
"Oh... what luck!" she angrily said.
The rain is starting to pour heavily and she's very tired. This day has been very exhausting for her. Her knees are starting to get weak and her eyes are beginning to close itself. Despite the difficulty, she can't just faint here, this isn't the right place, that is if there really is a right place for fainting. She decided that since she couldn't get a ride in the area then maybe she should get a ride on the other side of the street. She crossed the street and without her noticing, a speeding car is now towards her. Suddenly, all she saw was a faint light and everything else around her slowly faded and turned black.

Chapter 6: The Turn of Events
It was dark and cold, just like her own heart. She sat in the corner and tears began to fall. Her life's been so empty since she realized her lonely existence, and it still is until now. The chambers of her own emotions would like to explode from the whirlwind of feelings deep inside her. Questions began to arise, yet remained unanswered.
When her grandmother was still alive, she used to tell her that the stars gives us wishes, and along with it, they gives us the power to make it come true. That became her inspiration until now, the hope she was holding on, that one day she would fulfill her heart's desire.
As she look around she saw nothing but darkness. Could it be that the last string of hope she was holding on had ended? Could it be possible that she is already dead? Slowly, even the darkness around her slowly began to fade... into nothing. She fell into the depth of emptiness... until a voice called her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Her eyelids began to open and she recognized that she's in a hospital room. It made her wonder what happened to her. She contemplated for a few minutes. She remembers herself walking in the street after resigning from her job. It was raining hard and she couldn't get a taxi. She crossed the street, heard a screeching brake and, and what? After that, she can't remember anything anymore. The door opened and she saw someone she did not expect to see... her mom and dad. And tears began to fall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, wake up. You alright?" a man said shaking her gently.
Her sobs began to fade as her eyes slowly opened. The man hugged her instantly.
"Thank goodness, you finally woke up!" there was a moment of silence. When he finally realized what he had just done, he jerked back and apologized.
Sakura was still in a blank state, questions constantly rising every second. She asked the first question she could ask. "Where am I? And why are you here?"
"I'm so sorry, it was an accident and..."
"Look, I'm all confused here, so just answer my question for God's sake!"
"Okay, calm down, calm down. As you can see, you resigned from my office, right?"
"Of course, I remember that" she answered with remorse, remembering the events that day.
"I decided I should look for you since I know, that what I did to you is totally unjust and unfair. I was driving my car and it started to rain."
Sakura looked at Syaoran 'He was looking for me?'.
Syaoran continued. "I didn't notice you crossing the street because the place was so dark and the rain didn't help. And I..."
"You hit me?!" Sakura blurted out.
"No, no, it's not what it seems. As you can see, I almost hit you." He said emphasizing the word 'almost'.
"What?! What do you mean 'almost hit me'?"
"I was able to control the brakes in time and you just fainted in front of my car. I brought you to the hospital so that they could check on you. The doctor said the stress was just too much and you need rest, so I brought you home." He explained.
"I'm in your house?" she asked rather sorry for her accusations.
Syaoran nodded. "The doctor said you would soon recover and that you'd wake up soon. But that stupid doctor is wrong... three days and you're still not responding, I was worried." Syaoran shifted his gaze more intently towards her wanting to see her reaction.
"Really? You were... worried?"
"Of course, haven't you realized that I still haven't approved your resignation?, which means that you still are under my custody. And you are my responsibility."
Sakura could just let out an 'oh' in disappointment. Wait a minute... disappointment? Sakura is not sure, but when he told about how he searched for her and how he was worried, she thought she was special for him. Her heart fell when she heard that he just did those things because he felt he was obliged to. She didn't realize that all the thinking made her stare in blank space.
"Earth to Sakura, hey what happened. What were you thinking?" Syaoran said waving his hand in front of her.
"Um... nothing really. So, I think I owe you this one. Can I... do anything to make it up to you?" she asked hesitantly.
Syaoran thought for a couple of seconds. "How about... another kiss! You know, the sequel of our plane kiss" he said amusingly.
Sakura opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She can't understand this man. One moment, he is his flirtatious self, then the annoying, then the kind hearted, then back to the first. Oh man, this is getting more confusing.
"I was just joking, Sakura." He said laughing at her expression. When he stopped, his face became slightly serious, "Now I know, since I can see from your face you don't like a kiss, then you can just forget about your resignation" he suggested with a smile.
"No way! After what you have done to me when I was under your orders? You don't expect me to go into that again would you?!"
"But you ask me what you can do to pay back the favor I did, right? Besides, I'm sorry for it and I promise not to treat you same way again"
"Yes, but I..."
"No buts Sakura... that's the only way."
"You know, I really am not convinced into this agreement but alright... for the last chance."
"So it is a deal..."
"I guess it is" and they shook hands and exchanged small smiles.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The doctor finally allowed her to work under some restrictions not to work too hard. Syaoran, in cooperation, assured the doctor not to give her too much work. Days passed and Sakura and Syaoran got along very well. Syaoran told Sakura that Yukito was assigned to preside in an important business meeting abroad. Because of this, Syaoran offered Yukito the favor of taking care of Sakura while he is away. The guy accepted the offer in gratitude. Sakura, in the other hand, is very thankful for the kindness Syaoran is showing her lately. He's now acting like the guy best friend she never had.
It's been 3 weeks since she left Japan and since her parents are in an important business trip, which according to her memory lasts for 3 or more months, she plans to stay longer here in Hong Kong. She is finally enjoying this kind of life.
Today, she would resume in her work. She wish that everything would turn out fine. That Aya girl pisses her off. Maybe, Aya thinks she's a kind-of- boss just because she has an affair with Syaoran. Sakura swore that once the woman gets into her nerves, she wouldn't restrain herself from hurting the bitch. And that would definitely teach her a lesson.
It was kind of Syaoran to drive her to the office. Since he is still her boss, she feels it is awkward to be with him when everybody could see them. Due to Syaoran's insisting, she finally gave in, after all, why do they have care anyway?
The ride was smooth and comfortable. She sits in the passenger's seat of the car enjoying the view of the beautiful city, which she haven't noticed for a very long time due to her personal problems. The building of Li Corporations is now in sight. It really stands out among other structures around it and this amazes her. She got her things ready when suddenly, the car didn't stop in front of the building. It just kept going... away from the building. She was surprised, really surprised.
"Syaoran, you just passed the office! We are way over it, can't you see?" she said trying to understand why he forgot the place of his own office.
"I know" he said calmly.
"You know? but... but why did you..."
"I didn't tell you we're going in the office, did I?" he interrupted her.
"Yes, but you said, I'd be back at work, right?"
"Yes, and you are presently at work my dear" he looked at her and let out a small chuckle.
"I don't understand" she said.
"Sakura, don't you think it's too early for you to face the paper works in your office?"
"I think I had enough rest and..."
"I think you need more break so I decided that since I want to take a vacation, it's better for you to just accompany me and relax" he explained.
Sakura smiled. She's really glad of his concern for her and she doesn't know, but this guy is getting into her. "So where are we heading?" she asked excitedly.
"I'm taking you to one of our properties, the best of our properties actually. I'm sure you'd enjoy it there" he told her.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up!"
And the car sped of the road...

A/N: Thank goodness I finished this chapter. I just actually fitted this to my schedule and I have no time editing it, so sorry for the faulty grammar. Did you enjoy this chapter? I hope so...
I want to get more reviews, please! My goal for now is 100+. I really need reviews because, I believe that there is no use pursuing a story, when it is not appreciated by readers. Please help me, and I need suggestions, comments and reactions.
Thank you very much and I love you guys! ~ Heaven Serenity ΓΌ
