I sat there admiring his strong built torso. He went up to get a new shirt in his room. I followed him. He eyed me suspiciously but didn't say anything. I just smiled.

"Damn, where is that navy blue shirt...." Syaoran murmured to himself.

"Let me help..." I started and went to the drawer next to him.

"-Wait-" Syaoran began but it was too late. I saw them.

"BOXERS?!" I screamed. I slammed the drawer quickly and blushed.

"Yeah, I was trying to tell you that." Syaoran said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Well.. I.. didn't!" What could I say?

"You have never seen boxers have you?" Syaoran looked at me now with amusement.

"Of course I have!" I complained defensively.

He nodded, still holding a smirk and looked through his drawer. When he couldn't find it, he asked me to help and he pointed at the drawer on top of the one I had pulled a few moments ago.

After awhile, I said, "Hey, you know, we still didn't find your blue shirt but..." Should I tell him?

"Yes?"

"You should wear this." I held up a black shirt with yellow brand symbol in the middle.

"And why would I want to wear that?" he asked me, obviously testing me.

"Because...you look good in black shirts?" I looked at him straight in the eye, looking as courageous I could. Now what would he say to that?

He burst out laughing. He shook his head and took the shirt from my hand and put it on.

Blushing like mad I looked away, trying to think of something to stop his laughter.

Just like in movies and books, I was saved from the awkward position I was in by a miraculous ringing of the phone.

"Hello?" Syaoran answered the phone. "Eriol? Aa. Yeah, she's here. Where are we? In my room."

Syaoran held a solemn angry face after he said 'in my room'. It was probably from the response given by Eriol. I didn't have to be a genius to guess what Eriol said.

Moments, later, Syaoran announced that he had to go meet his manager and cast members to discuss the next movie he would star in. He had gotten in the movie cast easily and now it was just to determine the dates that they would be able to attend to. The contract ended this year but he had to finish this final film to withdraw from the acting business all together. He also mentioned that Eriol would be coming over so if someone rings the door, I can safely open the door without worry. Just in case, Syaoran hired a temporary guard that would stay in front of the door.

I nodded annoyed.

"I can take care of myself." I said grumpily. I was NOT a child.

I flipped through the huge amount of college work I've missed. Through what my father sent me by mail, I'll have to go for an extra course for the amount of work. I've missed so much in college. My other friend, Naru had given me some of the work I've missed from the classes that we have together. But the rest, I'm still missing. How horrible.

I sighed and layed on my back on top of the soft green sheeted bed. In the days that I've been here, I got to sleep on Syaoran's bed and he, on the ground in his green sleeping bag. I felt horrible, invading his privacy like that. The servants all needed their rooms for work and such and I was still not ready to go to Meilin's room. So unready that, when I passed by her bedroom, I walked quickly. I couldn't help it. Then I wondered on another completely different subject. How are we going to capture Jessica Kim? She must be a maniac for trying to burn down the trailer in order to kill me. Crazy to have cut the oxygen tank of Meilin. Crazy for everything she did. Where has she gone off to when we were at the hospital?

Ding dong.

"He's home already?" I asked myself, a bit surprised.

The servants were all gone. Weird, I thought. I guess I'll have to answer the door. I got up from my bed and ran down quickly. I hate to admit it but I'm kind of really eager to see him. I've been so bored looking over my work. Walking a little nervously to the door, I tried to think of someway to greet him. Should I hug him? Or rather would he hug me back if I did? Would he start yelling at me? Or...

"Damn it!" I muttered frustrated and decided to just let him in without a smile or greeting. See what he'll react to that.

I reached for the door, quivering. I stubbornly stopped my right hand from trembling by putting my left hand on top of it. I took a deep breath and opened it.

The room was large and professional looking with a large rectangular table at the center. On it were many sheets with charts, diagrams and essays scattered across. There were 12 people sitting around the table, each wearing either a proper black suit with a black tie. All except for the cast members, including Syaoran Li.

"Syaoran, you have a call from Mr Eriol Hiira.." said the attendant.

Hiiragizawa, Syaoran thought slightly annoyed. Syaoran didn't bother to finish Eriol's last name. Even he, sometimes had trouble remembering how to pronounce it properly.

There standing in front of me was a girl with raven black hair, her eyes deep and absorbing black. Her cheekbones were high and her lips pink and turned into a slight pout. She was pretty, in a sort of enchanting way. But when you looked carefully in her eyes, you would notice that it wasn't normal. They looked, disturbed, frightened and delighted all in one. She smiled with her perfect teeth. I looked at her stomach and saw that her wound has still not heal and it was wrapped messily with a white linen-like bandage. Behind her layed the unconscious body guard that Syaoran had hired.

"Jessica.." I opened my mouth in shock. I hadn't expected this one bit.

"Hello Sakura. You look lovely today." She said too sweetly. Her mad black eyes fluttered at me as if she was some doll. My eyes darted to her right side where she held a shining blade. Her hands were trembling as she gripped her blade harder.

I didn't answer. I don't have a single weapon with me. The nearest one was in the kitchen and if I tried to get it, I would have to run, with my back turned to her.

"Aw. Be polite. Don't gawk at me like that." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I could smell it. Smell your blood. Yes, your very own beautiful red hot blood."

What the hell is she doing? Though I knew the answer instantly. I backed away, my hands touching everything I could, to use as some sort of a defense material. I managed to grab a Kleenex box. I lunged it at her and she smiled, again.

"I'm not sick dear. No need for hasty decisions. I've been waiting for this for so long, Sakura." She grinned gleefully. Almost as if she was finally getting what she needed for so long. She seemed to be shaking, from joy.

She laughed happily. "Darling, why are you so scared? It won't hurt. I'll do it fast, I promise." With her left hand she pulled back her dark hair.

"Get away from me!" I screamed. I ripped apart a lamp and I heard the buzz of the electrical cord. The lamp turned off and was now pointed at Jessica. I was shaking as well, but of fear.

"I'm a guest, I shouldn't be treated so poorly." She frowned a bit, glancing around the living room. "He has such a beautiful home. Doesn't he?"

I swung the lamp with all my force but she dodged it easily.

"Syaoran-san taught me many things in martial arts. We were in love. We still are. But in a different way. Yes, he taught me many things. Swings as randomly as yours cannot hit me. You are too weak."

Her sentences didn't make much sense to me. Not that I cared much since my life was hanging on the line.

"You know, I'm glad I was able to hire some people to destroy that bridge. You know, that bridge that lets most of the police officers into this part of the country. I couldn't have so much police around for what I was doing. I needed less security, so that my actions can take place successfully. Unfortunately, even with that done, things didn't turn as I planned." She smiled grimly. "Oh, but I should stop being so ungrateful..."

She was the one who somehow disabled the bridge? She's the reason that I can't see my dad and Touya?

Jessica paused and then resumd to her taunts."That Eriol, always nagging behind my tasks. You should have died a long time ago Sakura. But its alright, don't worry, you'll get to die today." She continued on smiling, shaking her head.

"Of course, he's too late. He's too slow compared to me, Eriol can never keep up with me. Ever."

Think, Sakura. My eyes searched around for something to hit her with. She noticed this.

"There is nothing in this room that you can use to defeat me. You'll just have to accept your fate for trying to seduce my beloved Syaoran. Didn't I tell you? We are a couple and nothing can tear us apart. Not even you."

Had she looked around before to see if anything was threatening? Yes. Yes she has.

She had glanced around, but I was too scared to have noticed. She was extremely close to me for I was at a dead end. I had somehow walked backwards so that my back faced the wall.

There were no more objects for me to hold on to. I looked past Jessica to see the door. In all my time here, I have never thought the door was so far way. This time I thought I was miles away from my reach. I realized that I had stepped back many steps to get where I was. I hadn't noticed that we were moving much. Time was just too slow. I felt that I was stuck in one place, but rather I was unconsciously walking backwards to keep the distant between us. Now however, I could no longer go anywhere.

"Now, darling, you look so scared. You poor thing. I told you, it would only hurt you a bit. You'll be dead before you can feel the actual pain." Jessica talked to me as if I was a child, with the high and low pitched voice.

I tried to kick her but she blocked it with her hand and twist my leg easily. I cried in pain.

"Hm... I shouldn't have done that. I had promised you that you wouldn't feel a single pain. Oh but, nobody ever keeps their promises. Even my Syaoran. How I was devastated when he called off our engagement. Like always, I forgive him. Its hard though. Very hard."

"You're crazy! He would never want to marry to a crazy mad woman like you!" I yelled. I gave her two quick kicks with my other leg and I caught her off guard.

I managed to kick her pale face and her lips bled.

She shook her head. Her fingers lingered at her lips.

"You're such a pest, Sakura. Just like a child. A spoiled self centered child." Her voice was shaky with rage and she was no longer that well composed taunting woman.

She lunged at me with the knife laughing as she did. I dodged it but only slightly. She struck again to my surprise.

"Jessica!" boomed a deep voice. We both looked at the door where Syaoran was standing, panting.

He tapped the shelf next to him and a sword came out.

You had that and you never told me? I thought angrily. But I dismissed it. He was here to save me after all.

Jessica smiled at him wickedly. She brushed her hair back with both her hands and wiped the slight blood on her lips. She walked slowly to Syaoran without a fear in the world.

Syaoran raised his sword furiously and pointed it at Jessica who just shook her head.

"You don't want to hurt me do you? Make me bleed, and cry. I was so sad when you left me. I know you still love me Syaoran. Don't hurt me again. Remember? It was one of your many promises you told me."

Syaoran paused and then after an eternity of not moving he lowered his sword.

"Nani..?" I gasped.

Jessica and Syaoran were inches away from each other and he wasn't moving. Jessica held a finger up to his cheek and stroked it softly. I saw him tremble faintly.

"Syaoran! What are you doing?" I yelled out. He looked like he was paralyzed somewhat. What's going on?

"Syaoran..."Jessica muttered softly, her eyes gaining moisture. She's going to cry? What?!

"What the hell is going on?!" I shouted but again none of them reacted to my shouts.

I decided to race towards them, towards Jessica to punch her.

Jessica stopped her act, turned around and was about to stab me with her knife when Syaoran finally snapped out and swung his sword. I stopped in my tracks.

Jessica's eyes widened in surprise and let out a painful hoarse sound. Syaoran stared at her almost as surprised as she was. Jessica let out another choking sound her eyes pouring with " Jessica gasped as blood drip down her mouth and finallys he collapsed.

I walked slowly over to Syaoran who stared at Jessica in horror.

"I killed her." Syaoran said softly. I looked at his amber eyes and then I saw a single tear slowly trickled against his cheek. I hugged him tightly.

"You still had some feelings for her didn't you?" I asked quietly.

"Aa. I went through a lot with her. Even when I knew she had turned...insane."He grimaced as he said the word. "I couldn't bare to hurt her."

"I promised her a lot of things. I never kept them after I realized what she turned into. But, I never wanted to break my promise about how I would never hurt her." He shook his head sadly.

"I discovered only after I broke up with her that it was because of her family blood. It was some sort of mad disease that only reacts when the person turned 16. At first the government wanted to kill her entire family. But it was debated that it wasn't fair for the people to miss the possible 16 years of their life. So they let her family live on one condition. To take a a certain formulated pill on their 16th birthday and..."

"die." I finished shockingly. Syaoran nodded and his hands surrounded my waist.

"Its not your fault. It isn't your fault. You, you let her die in peace then." I tried to sound convincing. It never occurred to me that Jessica had a sad past. I felt guilty now. I didn't want to look behind me to the dead body.

Suddenly Syaoran smiled. "When you enter Hollywood. You are greeted by artificial smiles and welcoming greetings. When you try to live a normal life, the public does the exact same thing to you. Hoping to suck up with you enough for you to give them fame and fortune. However, you did the opposite of that."

I looked at him a little confused. I get some of it, I thought to myself.

"You rejected me." He said it proudly and beaming at me.

I laughed slightly. "Anytime, Syaoran." I hugged him tighter and laughed again.

"Sakura Kinomoto, you are real." Syaoran said sincerely. I smiled, he looked better.

"This is as real as you can get Syaoran. I'm one of a kind." I paused. "Seriously, Syaoran, we need to stop this. We sound like old husbands and wives teasing each other. Its weird."

He laughed a little and nodded in agreement. We just stood there hugging each other and it could have been the most comfortable position I was ever in, if I forgot that there was a dead body just a few feet away from me.

"Syaoran?"

"Hm?" he mumbled. His hand was stroking my hair playfully.

"It would be a bonus to this whole romantic story we have together if you were the one who saved me in that car accident I had a few months back." I noted, smirking.

He was silent for a moment. "What if I did?" he asked teasingly.

I drew back and stared at him shocked, a grin smacked on my face. He looked at me with his own little smirk.

"I thought..." I stared in shock. I must have been so busy wanting my life saver to be Eriol that I didn't even think of logic. I mean, Eriol was inside the mall last time I checked Syaoran was behind me. It made sense. It all connected now.

"You think I would have liked it if you praised me and started cheering at me every few seconds like the other girls in college?"

"What makes you think I would do that?" I asked blushing.

"You sure did that to Eriol." Syaoran rose an eyebrow.

I grinned. "Did you get jealous?" I caught him off guard and he blinked. I laughed and kissed his shock face.

"You're a bad kisser." I pouted.

"You took me by surprise."

"Then show me."

"Why should I?"

"Dunno."

"Fine."

His hands cupped my cheeks and I felt my skin burn under his touch. I slowly slipped my hands around his strong neck and enjoyed the kiss. It was soft yet firm filled with passion. I felt helpless in the kiss, overwhelmed by the amount of emotion I held inside of me. My heart stopped beating and it felt like time froze. Our bodies pressed against each other making me feel as if I've found my other half. I withdrew from the kiss to take a couple of breaths. He smiled and waited for me to say something. I nodded stubbornly. He was about to kiss me again but someone entered the room.

I turned around and found Eriol and a couple of police officers.

They looked at Jessica Kim on the ground and nodded comprehending what had happened. The police officers put Jessica on the stretcher and began bringing her out of the door. Others began cleaning the blood on the floor and everything else. Eriol looked like he was about to faint.

"I was this close to fainting when I saw the unconscious body guard in front of your door!" He cried desperately, holding his fingers up indicating how much he was close to fainting. I walked over and hugged him with friendliness.

I was still hugging Eriol, amused that he was so worried about me when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I broke the hug and turned around to face a solemn faced Syaoran.

"I was getting intimate with Eriol here. What do you want?" I asked him, almost ready to burst out laughing.

He opened his mouth to protest but I held my finger in front of his mouth.

"I knew it, you ARE a person who gets jealous easily." I smiled with triumph.

Soon after that, Tomoyo showed up and we hugged each other endlessly. Tears in our eyes as we realized that everything was finally over. We talked about Meilin and I realized that talking about it with my best friend was the key to helping me feel better about Meilin's death.

I was glad that Jessica Kim was finally no longer threatening my life. I'm sad however that she had to have such a horrible year of madness when she could have rested in peace if she took the specialized pill the government created for her family. We never found out why she never took it. We never found out a lot of stuff , but in the end it didn't matter. We had each other and we loved each other. Did I mention that a few weeks after that day, Eriol asked Tomoyo out?

Yes I know its sad but the story is finally finished. I hope you like it overall and thanks for reading and reviewing so much! Look forward to my next story, whatever that would be! I love you all!
