Last Chapter:
"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...

Chapter 7: The New Acquaintances
Sakura enjoyed the ride. She feels like she'd known him for years. Despite the fact, she still knows that she shouldn't fully trust anybody right now. But why is her heart betraying what her mind dictates?
"Here we are" he said getting off the car.
"Wait, I thought we're going on a vacation?" Sakura said looking around.
"Of course, but how are we supposed to get to the place by car? That would be impossible!" he lightly chuckled. He then helped her out of the car. Sakura then noticed that they are heading towards a helicopter.
"Hey, don't tell me were going to board in there" Sakura said in disbelief.
"Of course we will, let's go" Syaoran pushed her towards the door.
The helicopter is now up in the sky. What amazes Sakura is how the place under could be so enchantingly beautiful. The sea is greenish blue and the land area is almost completely covered with trees. There are some structures of course, but you could merely count it. Syaoran would constantly glance at her but would instantly shift his gaze in embarrassment. When the helicopter came to a stop, they were escorted towards a mansion near the shores.
"Let's go" Syaoran held her hand to lead her by the house. But in his surprise, Sakura didn't move an inch. He found her blankly staring at the house.
'I know I lived rich, but I've never seen anything like this before' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, are you alright? Syaoran worriedly asked placing his hand on her forehead, checking on her temperature.
Their faces are so close that Sakura finally snapped back and almost instantly moved away from him. "Yeah I'm fine... I just can't believe you own this... this amazingly beautiful mansion in this island!" she told him.
He laughed at her expression. Not that he boast his property, it's just that her expression looks like a child finding for the first time the candy house in 'Hansel and Gretel'.
"I think you're mistaken, I do not only own the mansion... I own the whole island" he explained.
"What?! But that's absurd! Owning an island is..."
"What?"
She tried hard looking for the right word to come, impossible? No, he did own it right?... crazy? No, it isn't as well. Then what? She decided to drop the subject.
"Nothing... I think this place is beautiful"
Syaoran smiled. He knew she would like this place. Her face is so readable that it reflects her deepest emotions. And the twinkle in her eyes shows it all. This is going to be one unforgettable vacation.
They went through the front door and were welcomed by the housekeeper and the servants. The interior of the house is elegantly designed in a Victorian style. The spacious hall is filled with portraits of what seems to be members of the Li family.
"Aki, come here, please accompany my guest to one of the rooms..." Syaoran ordered.
"Hey, cousin... long time no see, won't you first introduce this beautiful lady to us?" a young man's voice interrupted.
The attention shifted to the source of the voice. Syaoran immediately recognized him. "Eriol! My man! It's been a long time, why the heck are you here?" Syaoran greeted him with a hug.
"We just arrived here yesterday, I didn't know you'd come"
After sometime, Syaoran finally noticed Eriol's company. Eriol then introduced them to him. "By the way, Syaoran, this three young ladies beside me are Chiharu, Rika and Naomi" he said pointing on each one. "While this wacky guy is Takahashi" he continued. Syaoran extended his hand and smiled.
The Naomi girl seems to have eyes for Syaoran. Her looks are very meaningful and seductive. Syaoran ignored it, though her body language is very readable.
"Now that I've introduced them to you, would you care introducing this beautiful woman to us?" Eriol said winking at Sakura. Sakura giggled.
Syaoran frowned but still betrayed the fact that Eriol had eyes for Sakura. "I want you to meet Sakura Avalon" Sakura offered her hand for a shake, but instead, Eriol held it and kissed it. Sakura blushed. Chiharu and the others welcomed her with a smile.
"A friend?" Eriol asked Syaoran.
Syaoran looked at Sakura and much to his dismay he answered "Yeah... a friend"
"I bet this would be an exciting vacation, right cousin?" Eriol asked excitedly.
"Yeah... great" he muttered.

Sakura was given such a great accommodation. Colored cream and walls decorated with pink cherry blossom wallpaper, the room welcomes her as if it was really meant for her. The room is very spacious and in its end, there is a balcony, which leads to beautiful scenery of the waters. The moon is shining brightly as if acting as her spotlight. The stars complemented the twinkle in her eyes. And what would make this scenery most enchanting than having a beautiful goddess for Syaoran to stare at.
"H- hey..." Syaoran struggles for a word to say. He stood by the doorway for sometime now, captivated by the beauty of the moon goddess in front of him.
Sakura turned around. "Hey, Syaoran... is there anything you need?"
"Nothing, I mean yes... I... no actually" Syaoran stuttered.
Sakura let out a small laugh. "What is it? Is it a yes or a no? My goodness, you're eating your words, Syaoran".
Syaoran regained his composure and sighed. "I was just checking on you, you know... Did you like your room?" he stated changing the subject.
"Yeah, the view here is so fantastic!" Sakura said excitedly.
"Really?" Syaoran join her in the balcony enjoying the magical moment. That is, for Syaoran.
After sometime, Syaoran finally accepted to himself that he likes her. Though he can never tell her that directly. He actually cannot believe that he's acting like this. For goodness sake, he's a playboy! He gets to have girls lining in front of his door, but this one's different. At first, he refuses to accept her, but eventually, he grew liking her.
'I wish you knew...' Syaoran thought.
Sakura went to her bed that night after having a brief chat with Syaoran. She discovered he had given her the loveliest room in the house, and that made her fluttered. Syaoran's beginning to have an impression to her, though she still doesn't trust him fully. She has to know him well before she gives her full trust.
She is really happy about the turn of events that is happening in her life right now, but she cannot discard the fact that this is a mere taste of it and she can't go further about it. Feeling it is enough for her, or is it? Touya promised to contact her once their parents return, and that would be her signal to go home and end this crazy adventure. Almost a week of living independently doesn't make a person mature in an instant. It doesn't work like that... Sakura is a living proof of that. She will not learn everything about life in a flick of a finger, she has to work for it actually. And that's what's exactly what she is doing. Living the life she wanted, being someone ordinary makes her feel good especially in meeting new people the way they really are. No lies at all. No masks to cover up their flaws.
Everybody's friendly to her and those new friends Syaoran introduced to her are really nice. Eriol gave a very nice impression on her. He seems very nice and he acts like a real gentleman. He's more likely a fairy tale prince charming who just went out of children's' books. She won't deny that she was instantly attracted to him the first time she saw him. And that's what makes her more interested about him.
'I can't wait to get to know them' and she fell into a deep slumber.

A/N: Hey guyz and gals, I know this is short and some of you might think it's crappy, but hey, there's a reason why I called it special right? Maybe, I left clues about the possible problems that might arise, maybe I left a clue about the big surprise and maybe I'm already starting to write more S+S scenes, right?
Sorry for the mistakes, the late update and a lot more. After all, I said I'd update after I get a 100 reviews, right? But I realized that 80 reviews for a 6-chapter story isn't bad at all! So see? This is already a bonus! Let's rejoice people. Keep reviewing and I accept constructive criticisms, but not flames. Thank you everybody and I luv yah all! Now I'm waiting for 100+ reviews for real ok? ü
