*Ta Da* After an impatient long wait, I hope this chapter will satisfied
your humongous hunger for the fic. There, maybe some feedbacks will earn
you an even longer chapter. To compensate for not updating over the few
months, I assure you that this chapter will be filled with disastrous
mischief, excitement, blushing......... blushing and more blushing. ^.^
To my reviewers,

I understand if you dislike my fic, I mean not everyone's perfect. Just hoping that this chap will dissolve your anger and put a smile on your face after reading it.

Sakura struggled with her best effort, thinking that she'll slip out of her captor's arms. Continuous tears flowed down her face freely, *God, why are you doing this to me? *
As if on cue, the kidnapper spun her around and Sakura, overwhelmed with relief, throw her arms around his neck and snuggled into his embrace. [A/N: Keyword here, KIDnapper. All right, I know Sakura's not a kid, she's a teenager. But there's no such word as teenagernapper. That sounds weird.]
"Silly girl, what are you doing here alone? You could get lost in the crowd! Do you even know the consequences?" Amber eyes looked annoyingly at her. Damn, he thought, what is she trying to do?
Sakura, lifting her head up from his shoulder, looked at him astonishedly.
"Sometimes, Kinomoto, I think you need a baby-sitter." Syaoran cried as he leads her back to her friends.
Sakura felt all the giddy laughter that had been welling up inside her ebb away. Now all she felt was infuriating anger. "I'm old enough to look after myself!"
"Oh!" Syaoran exclaimed with a tint of amusement, "So, what's up with the struggling and weeping back there?"
"For once, I thought you are trying to kidnap me! And I am doing my best to get out of your grasp."
"Me?" Syaoran repeated, "Trying to kidnap you?" It took some time for the information to disintegrate into his mind before pearls of hearty laughter were heard throughout the place.
"Sakura – can I call you Sakura?" Syaoran asked politely. "Sometimes I wondered if there's really something wrong with you. I prefer if you go approach a psychologist."
"Sure, I'm crazy. And if people see you talking with me, they would think that you are crazy too. I've no doubt about it"
Without waiting for his reply, Sakura turned on her heels and walked towards the gang. (Tomoyo and the others) She just had to get out of his sight.
* * *
[Bus]
"Will you stop laughing?" Sakura asked, seriously annoyed. "I don't find it the least bit funny."
"It's hard to stop." Syaoran chuckle, trying very hard to keep a straight face. "Every time I did, I'll start to recall the incident earlier and crack up again."
"LI SYAORAN, don't you know it's rude to laugh at others for something they've done." Sakura warned, things weren't going the way they supposed to be. Sakura should be the one laughing at him, not the other way round.
"My, my! This had to be a dream! Imagine, Li Syaoran laughing?" Eriol teased, his eyes twinkled with mischief.
"Now, now," Tomoyo interrupted with an evil smile plastered on her face. "We wouldn't want to disturb their time together, would we?"
"That is such a great idea!" Eriol pretended with her, "Wouldn't want to stop the couple's sweet bickering. We should allow them some privacy."
Syaoran, along with Sakura, blushed a deep hue. There must be at least 10 shades of red on their faces.
Suddenly, a loud voice boomed through the microphone, "Students, please look at your right-hand window. This is the hotel we'll be residing in the next few weeks."
They adverted their attention to the window and saw a breath-taking view. It was a skyscraper and the design of the hotel is so unique and special. The edges flawed out with a hook at the end the entrance was decorated with skeletons and cravings of the ancient symbols. It looks so real that they might come alive any minute. With the concoction of the Arabic features and a twist of high technology, it was definitely the coolest place you've ever seen. [A/N: There is NO such place in Hong Kong. It's just my imagination, although it's pretty lame, just bear with it.]
"This is fantastic!" Naoko cooed, "Who knows we are living in such a high class and mysterious hotel."
"I'm not sure about this. All I know is, this hotel looks pretty spooky to me." Sakura commented, looking at the skulls sent shivers down her spine.
"Are you scared?" Syaoran asked. "I think this hotel is gonna be great."
"Who says I'm scared? I just mention that it looks spooky to me. Got a problem with that?" Sakura fumed.
"Actually, yes. I want to confirm that you wouldn't come hugging me again as we go through the entrance. I am standing right beside you, do you even know that?"
"I wouldn't even dream of touching you. I certainly do not want the others to get the wrong idea about us." Sakura snapped, to say that was totally an understatement.
The class was line neatly into two rows, each partnering with their assigned partners. [A/N: Torture for them. Ha! Ha! I'm evil!] As they stepped into the air-conditioned hotel, Sakura trembled. This is creepy enough, she thought. Must they turn the temperature so low that it gives goosebumps?
They stopped at the receptionist and waited for their assigned rooms. And finally, Tereda sensei spoke after a century, "I'll read out the list of names and the rooms you're given, I want no whispering before I proceed." Immediately the whole class fell into dead silence.
Feet shuffling.

Birds chirping. [A/N: NO birds in the hotel]

"Kiyoshi, room 202.
Chiharu, 203.
Rika, 204.
Naoko, 205.
Hikaru, 206.
........................
The privilege is that you are allowed to choose your own roommates. I trust that you'll follow the rules and regulations in the hotel. Is that clear?"
"Yes." The students chorused gleefully.
Sakura is so glad that she won't have to see that jerk anymore, even though it's only for the rest of the day. Well, she wouldn't know what's coming for her. "Ne, Tomoyo-chan, why don't you be my roommate ? I'll love your company."
"I'm so sorry, Sakura-chan. I am taken. Eriol and I decided to always stick together at all times."
Sakura was upset and disappointed, but she forced a smile out and excused herself. Well, she thought , there's always Chiharu, Rika and Naoko.
After 5 minutes.
"AH! Chiharu is partnering Yamazaki and Rika – Naoko! Can my day get any worse?" Sakura complained. Just when she finished her sentence, a group of girls come chasing Syaoran, bugging him to become their roommate.
"Syaoran! I want you! Why don't you partner me!" The hair-chilling sentence rang out loud.
Syaoran, finding it annoying, yelled back, "It's Li to you. And you will never get me to be your roommate. Not now, not ever!" He ran even faster as the group of fans are nearing him. Squeals like "Ooh! Syaoran talk to me!" , "ahh, he's so hot" , etc... is heard all over the hotel.
Sakura find it rather amusing..................not as that jerk just had to head her way. In the end, Sakura ends up running beside Syaoran just to save herself from being trampled.
Out of the blue, Syaoran grabbed her hand and announced, "Stop! I have a partner already, and Sakura is the one."
Sakura allow the information to slowly dissolve in her mind. When she was clear of the facts, she bursts, "WHATTTTTTTTTT! ............"
Syaoran interrupted her before she can even continue her sentence. "Yah, end of conversation. She'll be my roommate and partner from now on."
With heavy hearts, the crowd starts to dispense. "Li Syaoran, are you tired of living? What on earth are you thinking?" [A/N: Hey! It rhymes! ^_^]
"What on earth are you thinking?" Syaoran echoed. "Isn't it obvious, I just have this crazy idea that if you become my roomie, this whole bunch of girls will just back off."
"Now you've announced it worldwide, what do you think will happen if I don't want to join you in your genius plan." Sakura pointed out sarcastically.
"Ha! Sure, go on and find another roommate. Wait till the school heard about this, they'll go ballistic. The world will know you're not normal."
Sakura stood there, stunned. Her feet were stuck to the ground, both not daring to move. Sakura sat on the cushioned chair for she does not trust her trembling legs to withstand her weight anymore.
*How can he possibly know about my powers? This can't be possible.* Sakura thought, how dare he blackmailed me. Anyway, he couldn't prove the fact that I'm magical.
"Just how do you expect to do that?"
"From your behaviour, one would easily know that you are out of the ordinary. But don't worry yet, I'm sure there's another abnormal freak like you." Syaoran replied with a wink.
Sakura tried not to let her emotions show and still shaking, she asked "And who is that supposed to be?"
"Ha!" Syaoran exclaimed, "That's easy, aren't Eriol another of you?"
Sakura gasp. Her orbs widened, Eriol is indeed having powers like she does. But, does that means he knows everything? Sakura pluck up her courage and give a last shot, "How so?"
"There, you've asked enough questions, and its time you answer mine." Syaoran sounded skeptical. With a smirk, he continue, "So, are we roommates?"
Sakura gave a shrug and answered solemnly, "I guess."
Satisfied, Syaoran turned and started to head towards their room. But before he even made his first step, Sakura stopped him. "Shouldn't you show some courtesy and answer my question before you rush off to god knows where."
"Kinomoto, I'm only trying to return back to the hotel room and god knows what you're asking." Syaoran mimicked her choice of words.
"I am wondering how you know that Eriol and I are not normal." Sakura whispered.
A moment of disbelieve crossed over his handsome features before he finally bursts out laughing. "So, you finally admit that both Eriol and you are weird. I mean, come on, which girl is willing to pass up the chance of being my partner or roommate. Yah, not one girl except you. Don't you call that weird or what?"
Sakura hanged her mouth wide open. Originally, that's his perspective of weird.
"Eriol is another weirdo, he enjoys taunting me, watching me suffer and at times, he acts like he just came out of the mental hospital." Syaoran sighed, thinking of the terrible times he had gone through.
Sakura's face burned, not from embarrassment but from the anger she felt when being tricked. Imagine, what's she fretting about? Syaoran didn't even come close to finding her secret. On a second thought, she decided to let the issue rest for the time being. She's already worn out by the 10 hours flight they took from Japan. [A/N: Taking a plane from Japan to Hong Kong should take around 8 hours. If I'm wrong, please correct me]
She found her room number, slash her card and swung the door open. The room was pretty extravagant and the best thing Sakura liked about it was the view over the balcony. She could see almost everything in Hong Kong on the balcony, or that's what she thinks. She unfolded her clothes and hang them neatly in the cupboard. When she had finished, she flopped down on the bed and let out a sigh. Syaoran shook his head, "So, do you like this room?"
"Like it? Are you kidding? I love it! Everything is so serene and peaceful here. Don't you think so?" Sakura cooed.
Wait till she hears this, she'll go yelling like a mad banshee. "Sakura, in case you haven't notice, I would LOVE to inform you that there is only ONE bed in this room." Syaoran's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Love to tell her? Ha! I must be crazy!
Sakura sat up instantly and her green orbs are scanning around the room like laser beams. She stood up, astonished. Why hadn't she thought of this before? "No, no, no!" She shook her hands violently. "You aren't thinking of sleeping on the bed yourself, are you?"
Syaoran raised an eyebrow, "If you wanted the bed that badly, you should have asked!"
Sakura paused, debating whether should she take such a big risk. Risk – as in lose her pride to that lowly bastard. Knowing Li, he wouldn't act like the perfect gentleman and give her the bed. No. She finally decided. It doesn't benefit her in any way.
"No, thanks. I can do without the bed. You can have it."
Syaoran look at her disbelievingly, did he heard her wrongly?
"Come again?" Syaoran spoke. This time he strained his ears for her answer.
Sakura blushed, isn't he a bit over reacting?
"I just said," she stopped, wondering how to continue.
Getting agitated, syaoran pestered, "Yah, what did you just said? Please continue."
"Um, I suppose you can have the bed. I can still survive without it, at least, I think so."
Syaoran smirk, his hidden wolf fangs suddenly revealed themselves. "Good decision cos if you are thinking of having the bed, you have another thing coming."
Sakura fumed, doesn't he even have any basic human morals?
"I wouldn't hesitate to throw you out of the room if I find you sleeping on my bed." Syaoran nodded his head in confirmation.
Sakura clenched his fist. He is so uncivilised, unlike all the gentlemen she knows. She rolled her eyes. Hello, she reminded herself. This is Syaoran she is talking about. Sakura eyes brightened up as her brain weaved up a brilliant plan. A milli-second before Syaoran sat on the chair, Sakura called up [Move] and shifted its position away - magically. Of course, as you all anticipated, Syaoran ended up crashing towards the floor.
Ouch! Sakura burst out laughing. That must have hurt a lot. Isn't revenge sweet?
"Are you alright?" She asked mockingly.
Syaoran glared at her, "What do you think."
Sakura looked at his helpless self and burst out laughing again, "Well, if you need me, I'll be at the dining hall with Tomoyo and the others. See ya!"
Sakura fumbled with the latch before finally succeeding opening the door. "Bye!" She managed to shout out as her endless laughing forbid her to do so.
Now, Syaoran was left all alone in the room. He could have sworn he felt a wave of magic a moment before. For some reasons, he felt the room was colder and emptier. His prayers were answered as a giggling Sakura find his way into his mind. His face heated up. Thinking that he might be sick, he shook his thoughts away and exited the room.

[Dining Hall]
"Well, Look who's here?" Yamato snickered as he saw Sakura coming through the entrance.
"If it isn't my cherry blossom." He continued despite the irritated look on Sakura's face.
Yamato wasn't in the same class as Sakura but when he first set eyes on her, he had been pursuing her since.
"Look, Junko-san, I haven't been in the best mood lately and I suggest you back off before my temper fires up."
"How bad can your mood get? Especially when I'm here for you." Yamato spoke, his arms opened, gesturing her to come to him.
Urghhh! Sakura is disgusted. Will he ever give up?
"I do not have time for you and your silly tricks, Junko-san. If you excuse me, I have other things to do." Sakura spat distastefully.
Before Sakura is able to leave, Yamato grabbed her wrist and slammed her body to the wall.
Sakura winced, where is Syaoran when you need him? She struggled as Yamato tried to force himself unto her. Her legs trashed freely around and on one attempt, it hit directly in his shins.
"Bitch!" Yamato growled as he hopped around in pain.
Sakura knew what was coming as he held his hand up high. She squeezed her eyes shut and waited fearfully for the impact to come but eventually, it never came. Slowly, she pry her eyelids open and saw Syaoran blocking the blow with his hand.
"Syaoran!" Sakura cried in delight. Syaoran's eyes softened as he spoke to her, "Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?"
Sakura could only shake her head dumbly as she watch what he would do next.
Syaoran's attention was all focused on Yamato. "Don't you know it's not right to hit a lady?"
"And who are you to tell me that?" Yamato asked. He still has not learned his lesson yet.
"Who I am is not important. Any human would know it's wrong to hit a lady, get that in your head, hooligan." Syaoran hissed, his voice dangerously low.
"You son of a bitch, are you picking a fight with me? Because if you're, I'll make sure that you'll end up in the streets." Yamato snared as he release his hand from Syaoran's grasp.
Sakura waited intently for Syaoran's answer, after all, she didn't want him to get into a fight because of her.
Syaoran smirked, "Bring it on."

"I do not have time for you and your silly tricks, Junko-san. If you excuse me, I have other things to do." Sakura spat distastefully.
Before Sakura is able to leave, Yamato grabbed her wrist and slammed her body to the wall.
Sakura winced, where is Syaoran when you need him? She struggled as Yamato tried to force himself unto her. Her legs trashed freely around and on one attempt, it hit directly in his shins.
"Bitch!" Yamato growled as he hopped around in pain.
Sakura knew what was coming as he held his hand up high. She squeezed her eyes shut and waited fearfully for the impact to come but eventually, it never came. Slowly, she pry her eyelids open and saw Syaoran blocking the blow with his hand.
"Syaoran!" Sakura cried in delight. Syaoran's eyes softened as he spoke to her, "Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?"
Sakura could only shake her head dumbly as she watch what he would do next.
Syaoran's attention was all focused on Yamato. "Don't you know it's not right to hit a lady?"
"And who are you to tell me that?" Yamato asked. He still has not learned his lesson yet.
"Who I am is not important. Any human would know it's wrong to hit a lady, get that in your head, hooligan." Syaoran hissed, his voice dangerously low.
"You son of a bitch, are you picking a fight with me? Because if you're, I'll make sure that you'll end up in the streets." Yamato snared as he release his hand from Syaoran's grasp.
Sakura waited intently for Syaoran's answer, after all, she didn't want him to get into a fight because of her.
Syaoran smirked, "Bring it on."
