Chapter 7

Realising her beauty

Syaoran's P.O.V

I saw her stand outside the door, talking merrily to the servant I sent to get her and the strangest thing happened. My heart kinda stopped and it felt like some-one had given it a good, forceful punch. Really weird. Maybe I'm just imagining things... I patiently waited till they had finished talking and then saw Saku... I mean Kinomoto-chan turn around, take a deep breathe and stepped in.

Normal P.O.V

Sakura was wearing and loose light pink dress with layers of cherry coloured silk from her waist down. Simple but elegant. She had never had such lovely cloths on before and she looked stunning. Even our young duke was impressed.

Syaoran on the other hand was wearing a brown T-shirt and black pants. He hated fancy clothes and only wore them when absolutely necessary, but Sakura loveliness caught his eyes. He had half a mind to erase the image of Sakura right away and keep thinking of her as low and unworthy, but that was just half his mind. Instead he did what any man would has done if he saw such a beauty before him. He stared.

"She's beautiful" he whispered

Unfortunately for him Sakura had wonderful hearing.

"Why thankyou, Li-sama. Now why did you call for me?"

Syaoran who just realised what he just did was intensely embarrassed, and if it had been anyone else, they would be blushing redder than a tomato. But, no, this is the cold, unfeeling duke we're talking about. He ALMOST blushed. But he was in control of stuff like this. Well mostly. There was a slight tinge to his cheeks, not enough to qualify as a blush though.

"Um... I was... er..."

He had momentarily forgotten why he had called for her. But only momentarily.

"About you lodgings here..." he said returning to he's emotionless state.

"Yes?" asked Sakura curiously

"I have had a short discussion with myself and I have decided against forcing you out. I have been informed your ankle has not healed, so I have come to the conclusion to allow you to stay for a further week. You are dismissed" said Syaoran in a monotonous tone.

Now, for the reviews, to the reviews!!!

tamari789: Don't worry, the ending is FAR off Thanks for reviewing!!!

twilight-star1: He should shouldn't he? But he is the duke and all...Hope you drop by again

NEY: Yea.... Sound NOTHING like the real Syaoran... but he will get better :P Thanks for reviewing

brett : Er.... I will finish, but not soon. Have a nice day :P

???: Yep, Hope you like this new chappie

Coriel: Yea.... I like insult.... Cause I'm good at them. But most of the time they get me into trouble!

Sapphire Melody: Wow, you have a really nice name... and yes Sakura is daring... but she's never been in the presence of a duke before, so excuse her behaver, and anyway, Syaoran is really too egotist to stand... :P

caprigirl92: Haha, easy to say, but a bit hard to do :P

Tharmi : So happy you like the story... but it's not finishing anytime so... I think.

twilight-star1: I dunno, he didn't really hire the servant. The servant (eriol) was actually already working there.... Maybe I didn't make it clear, but Eriol was there at the right time, and plus Syaoran was beginning to have feeling for Sakura, but he kept ignoring them... So when he was yelling at Eriol he suddenly thought of Sakura and told him to be her servant... he's kinda regretting that now cause Sakura talk to Eriol so much. I call it.... Jealousy! hope I didn't confuse you more...

sexy2hotti: Yea... I know they are short... when I have time I'll try to make it longer, but right now this is the best I can manage on top of school work... maybe when the holidays start (in 4 weeks) the chapters will get longer. :P

Okay, all done. I wasn't actually going to post a story today, but then I got time so here it is!!!! Hope everyone enjoyed it!!!
