"Hey look!"
"Huh?"
"Isn't that the Li kid from school?"
- Chapter Four –
It took her a while for Tomoyo's words to actually sink into Sakura's mind, and when it finally did, it her, hard.
"What?!" she hissed, glaring at the back of the new kid's chestnut brown head.
Despising what she wore, she stormed out of her home and towards the house next to hers.
She was furious!
Why was HE moving next to her?!
When Sakura finally reached him, she crossed her arms over her chest, watching this...jerk, watch the movers move heir stuff.
She tapped him on the shoulder and he slowly turned around to face her.
"WHAT are YOU doing?!" she growled loudly.
His amber eyes looked her up and down before smirking and rose an eyebrow.
"Well I think that's pretty obvious" he answered.
It was Sakura's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?"
"Well I guess it's not to you, but o answer your question...I'm moving into this house...nice outfit Kinomoto"
"Why you-"
"Syaoran, there you are...who is your friend here?" a different voice interrupted.
Turning on her heel, Sakura was now facing a woman who was much taller than herself and much older, yet held much beauty.
"This is Sakura Kinomoto mother" Li answered.
The woman smiled and bowed slightly.
"My name is Yelen, it's a pleasure to meet you Sakura"
The young girl starred at the woman, before her brain finally let everything settle down and she bowed back.
"Do you live next door to us?" Yelen asked.
"Yes" Sakura answered.
"SYAORAN!"
Li winced slightly at the voice before a girl the same age as him with raven black hair that was pulled up into two buns, and fire red ruby eyes stormed out of the house and stabbed an accusing finger into his chest.
"What was the big idea ditching me today at school?!" she shouted.
"Meiling!" Li said, eyes wide as saucer's as he backed away from her slowly.
"I COULD HAVE BEEN VIOLATED!!" she screamed right into his face.
'God...the whole family is off their rockers' Sakura thought while watching the scene being played out right in front of her.
"Meiling I don't think that-"
"So now you're calling me ugly?!"
"NO!"
"Then what?!"
"Sakura would you like to come in for some tea?" Yelen asked, completely ignoring the two.
"Thanks, but-"
"Good!" she smiled before dragging her inside.
"Oh wow!" Sakura exclaimed once they walked inside.
They were facing a large hall, where the two main colors were strictly light blue and gold. Huge, gold carpeted, stairs were right in the middle, leading to the second floor. Many ancient looking artifacts were placed here and there, and the spicy smell of cinnamon filled the room and Sakura's senses.
"Your house is huge!" Sakura blurted out, her voice echoing in the hall.
"Why thank you Sakura, our other one was bigger though..."
"You're kidding!"
Yelen laughed slightly.
"No, I'm not"
"It's gorgeous" she complimented.
A bunch of female voices reached their ear's, and Sakura turned to see four giggling teenaged girls come down the stairs.
All at once, they stopped, starred at Sakura before they literally freaked out and attacked her.
"She's so kawaii!"
"Look at the outfit!"
"Great figure"
"Love the hair!"
Sakura found herself turning bright ed as Yelen shooed away the girls.
"Those are my daughters...they tend to...get too excited at times"
Sakura had to bite her tongue not to rudely you please set the table outside and prepare tea for three?"
An elderly looking man with a kind face and dressed in a tuxedo smile and nodded.
"Yes Mrs. Li"
And with that he walked away as Sakura looked over to Yelen with an questioning gaze.
"Three?"
"For Syaoran of course! Seeing how he's your friend and all..."
'Bite your tongue, don't say anything, bite your tongue, don't say anything...' Sakura chanted in her head while chewing on her tongue to stop herself.
"Oh...right" she replied slowly.
An annoyed looking Syaoran and a pissed off Meiling soon came through the great oak doors, Meiling still telling him off for who knows what now and Syaoran just ignoring her.
"Meiling, could you please help show the mover's where to put the training equipment" Yelen said loud enough for her to hear and the girl stopped and looked at the woman.
"Yes Auntie Yelen" she sighed before punching Li's arm.
"I'll be back" she threatened before walking away.
Li rubbed the tender spot on his arm before looking over to Sakura.
"Come Syaoran, we're going to have tea in the garden..." Yelen smiled at the two.
"We are?" he repeated as he and Sakura were lead away to the back.
They soon walked out beautiful French doors and out onto their 50 yard lawn, complete with fountain, where a small white table was placed in the middle, Wei standing next to it with a steaming pot of tea.
"Wow...you guys unpack fast..." Sakura blinked, looking around in awe as she took a seat at the table, Syaoran sitting down next to her and his mother across from them.
"Oh no, we got them to paint the house and do the garden MONTH'S before we moved in" she explained.
"Oh"
"So...tell me how you two met" she beamed while Wei poured them all some tea. She criss-crossed her fingers and placed her elbows on the table.
Both Syaoran and Sakura glanced at each other, Sakura giving him a small glare as Syaoran looked back over to his mother.
"Sakura showed me around the school"
"Oh! Well that was nice" Yelen said, with all smiles.
Sakura busied herself while picking up the cup and took a small sip out of it before blinking.
"This is delicious!"
The elder woman smiled. "Yes, it's all the way from Hong Kong"
"Wow, it's great!"
"Why thank you Sakura, you seem like a very nice girl"
"Yes...she is" Syaoran agreed and Sakura's head shot up and looked at him, seeing a smirk on his face and she had to stop herself from glaring.
"I...have to get back home, dinner is going to be soon, and my dad will worry..." Sakura said with a bow of her head as she slowly began to stand up.
"Oh...well, won't you have dinner with us?" Yelen asked, standing up as well.
"Oh no! I couldn't! Wouldn't want to be a burden" Sakura smiled.
"Oh nonsense! I insist! In fact...I, Yelen Li, invite the whole Kinomoto family over for dinner!"
And so there they were, Sakura, her father, Fujitaka, her older brother Touya, and, with the permission of Yelen of course, Tomoyo, all sat at the huge wooden dining room table, the Kinomoto's on one side and the Li's on the other with Yelen at the head of the table.
It seemed that both Fujitaka and Yelen seemed to get along very well with each other. And Touya was fixing a suspicious look on Syaoran. While Sakura couldn't stop herself from turning red as Syaoran's sister's kept on complimenting her on her outfit.
"Well, I can't take all the credit...Tomoyo is the designer" Sakura said with a small smile.
And all the attention of the four girls was now focused on Tomoyo and the five went on chattering happily about clothes.
Sakura let out a small sigh of relief as she continued on eating before she felt a pair of eyes on her.
Looking up, she was met with the icy glare of Meiling who was sitting next to Syaoran.
Syaoran had his head bent down and was focusing mainly on his food.
'What is this girl's problem?' Sakura thought as she offered her a small smile, one that she didn't get in return.
Meiling simply 'hmph!'ed and turned her nose up to her then went back to eating.
'Riiight...' she thinks before returning to her food as well.
Three painfully slow hour's later and all the Kinomoto's, Tomoyo included of course, were standing at the door, preparing to leave.
"Thank you very much Yelen for having us over for that wonderful dinner" Fujitaka said with a smile as the four bowed politely.
"It was a pleasure meeting Syaoran's friends" Yelen beamed, looking over to both Sakura and Tomoyo.
Sakura was currently glaring over to Syaoran. 'Why the hell won't he set his mom straight? We are NOT friends! That would be a nightmare! Never in HELL would I be friend's with him...' she thought and quickly pulled a forced smile when Yelen looked in her direction.
'Bah...I'll have a talk with him tomorrow at school...' she finished her thought with another polite bow and smile before exiting their home.
Ooh! A talk! Wonder what will happen!
Well...I don't really know yet...maybe some Eriol and Tomoyo fluff?
I've said too much!
Well, anyways...I'm back! WHOO! I would have updated sooner if I hadn't be lazy and...well...just lazy really.
My friend had this idea that I kept a story journal, so that EVERY single idea I have for a story would go into there for record...what a great idea!
If you like a little romance fluff, then head over to , I had placed up a short story that I wrote for this writing contest.
Look for it! It's called: Love's Pleasure.
Yes, yes, I know...sounds dirty...it's not! It's cute!
Wouldn't mind if you reviewed for it too...and for this story too!
Yus! Please! Click that little button down there and help a pathetic author in need.
Anyways, until next time!
