Chapter 4: surrendering to my captor
Sakura
After the spaghetti incident I found out that Syaoran had telekinesis. Strange how he is so gifted. Everyday he surprises me with something new. It felt awkward at first that he was being so nice to me that time, I wonder why. He must have hit his head somehow, somewhere. I could still remember the time when he forced me to sleep with him. Sleep like sleep beside him in ONE bed. No way, I don't trust him and the other guys except for Mei Lin.
All of them scare me. It's as if they can kill me anytime they want to, even Mei Lin. I slept in another room beside his and the only way for me to go to the bathroom was go to his room because the bathroom is there. I feel like every move I make Syaoran is watching and it freaks me out.
I miss Tomoyo so much, my family, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko, and... Nao. Syaoran told me that my friends and family think I'm dead and it hurts. I am alive, and I'm still in Hong Kong. Syaoran even said that we are just under their noses and they can't find us and especially me.
I want to tell Tomoyo that I'm still alive, that I still exist. I know Nao is dead and people think that she is me in that car. I hate it and I hate Syaoran. I know it's been a week since the incident. And I know that it was Syaoran who took me and abducted me. What I can't understand is why? Why me of all the other people?
It was 8 o' clock in the morning and everyone was still asleep except for Sakura. Most of the people slept until noon or much later. Sakura sat by her window's couch and stared out to the garden beyond the place she was kept in. She smiled at the purple butterfly that passed by her window. She thought of Tomoyo and decided to call her.
She knew it wasn't good but what could a harmless call do? She headed to the door and took a deep breath. If she wanted to reach the phone she had to go out of her room. And the only way out was to go through Syaoran's room. Unfortunately the room was built in a way that it had only one door and it lead to the other room beside it.
She slowly turned the door knob and made sure that the door wouldn't make a sound when she opened it as not to wake up Syaoran. Syaoran awake would mean trouble. She took a slight peep and checked if Syaoran was asleep. Syaoran lied face down on his bed and was still topless as before. He usually only wears his pants and walks around the house shirtless. The sheets covered his lower torso and he seemed sound asleep.
Sakura wondered why he never slept in a coffin instead so that she'd nail all the sides and keep him there for a hundred years or more. He deserves to be locked up. Wearing a tight polo shirt she tip-toed out of her room and went for the exit. Every now and then she would check on Syaoran's sleeping form. He never did seem to sense her.
She took hold of the door knob which led to the kitchen and that was where the phone was. She looked one last time at Syaoran and saw the gun that was positioned in his pants at the back. Seeing the handgun she took the lump in her throat and went out the door. She felt relaxed now that she was out of his room.
She walked towards the phone and took it. She looked around if someone was there and headed out to the backyard. She stayed under the sun so that if ever someone would see her they could do nothing. She knew none of them would dare go out and stay under the sun. She couldn't keep her hands from shaking as she tried to hold still.
She dialed Tomoyo's number and heard it ring. Her heart leaped for joy hearing it ring. "Hello, Tomoyo speaking" Sakura was about to answer but when she saw Syaoran lean by the door the words wouldn't leave her mouth and she just stood there filled with terror. He shot daggers at her, his eyes wandering around the scene.
Her heart began to go faster "hello? Is anybody there? Hello" she could hear Tomoyo again. She wanted so much to speak out but something was stopping her. She remembered the thing about vampires afraid of sunlight and just when she thought things couldn't go any worse.
Syaoran let out a smirk as he walked out into the sun and looked around as if a vampire walking in broad daylight wasn't a big deal. Sakura brought the phone down to her chest and stared in astonishment. Was she seeing things? Syaoran was walking towards her under the sun's rays and that was impossible.
He stopped before her and took the phone from her and cancelled the call. "What are you doing?" Syaoran asked in a cold voice. Sakura was shivering although she was out under the heat of the sun. She tried to be strong and pretended as if she wasn't scared yet all she could do is look away "I was just ordering some food that's all" Sakura lied
What Syaoran hated was when people lie to him and right now he can tell Sakura was lying. And this angered him some more right now he felt as if he wanted to hurt Sakura, badly. "Don't you ever try and lie to me!" Syaoran took a hold of Sakura's neck and brought her up in the air.
Sakura was scared now more than ever she tried to break his grip on her neck but her small, weak fingers were no match to his "Lie to me again and I won't have seconds thoughts of killing and feasting on you. If I can kill Nao, then I can kill you too" Syaoran growled as he dropped Sakura on the floor.
Sakura was coughing as she tried to regain all the air she had lost "Why don't you just kill me now? Why wait?" Sakura said through coughs as she held her neck "do you want to die that badly?" Syaoran pulled out his gun and aimed at Sakura "And let me tell you, I never miss" Syaoran said as he looked at Sakura with intensity in his eyes. She glared at Syaoran as she sat on the ground.
Syaoran pulled the trigger. Sakura's heart skipped a beat hearing the gunshot she sat there frozen like ice. Mei Lin and the others came down hearing a gun fired and wondered what was happening. They stopped by the sliding door and were to afraid to go any further "What happ.." Mei Lin was cut short when she saw blood.
Syaoran missed leaving a bruise on Sakura's left cheek "oh my god, what did you do to her?" Mei Lin panicked as Sakura wasn't moving "I suggest that you don't call your friend Tomoyo otherwise I'll be forced to kill her too... and your Family" with that said Syaoran crushed the phone in his hands and left Sakura bleeding and silent.
Syaoran went inside, all the others followed him except for Mei Lin. Mei Lin felt bad for Sakura. She was only sixteen and was already treated that way.
Syaoran just threatened to kill her friend and family. Was she forced to follow him? And for how long? Such thoughts lingered in her head as she stood up and headed inside. Mei Lin wrapped her arms around Sakura and brought her to her room "c'mon, let me take care of your cut" Mei Lin suggested, Sakura was quiet and followed her.
Mei lin's room.
She tended to Sakura's scratch on her cheek and placed a pink band aid over it. She would look at Sakura's face and found that she looked so unhappy. Her eyes were so hollow. She sat on the bed beside Sakura and waited for her to talk. Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes as she flung herself unto Mei Lin's chest and cried. She knew Mei Lin wouldn't care.
Why would she? She was after all Syaoran's cousin, of course she would side with him. "Shhh. Don't cry" Mei Lin comforted "He said he would kill my family and Tomoyo. He's going to kill them if I contacted any of them. I'm scared" Sakura continued to cry in Mei Lin's chest. She didn't know why she had to cry to Mei Lin but she had to let it out. Mei Lin didn't know how to comfort Sakura. She felt sorry towards her she never deserved to go through this. Mei Lin rubbed Sakura's back to try and quiet her down.
Her sobs can be heard by Syaoran who was standing behind Mei Lin's door. He listened to her cries, to her whimpers, and her pain. He placed his palm against his chest and felt something ache inside. He didn't know what it was but it hurt, it was a sharp stinging pain. He left the scene and retreated to his room downstairs.
Was it guilt he was feeling? Or was it sympathy? "I don't have a heart" Syaoran said to himself as he entered his room and closed it behind him.
Mei Lin went out of her room after Sakura had practically cried herself to sleep. She had never seen so many tears from one person. She let Sakura sleep in her room and wondered if all humans were that emotional. What would it be like to be normal? She thought as she headed towards Syaoran's room.
She knew she wasn't supposed to be mad but she can't help it. She never had a little sister since she was an only child and she's not going to start losing someone now. She kicked Syaoran's door open and found him with a towel around his waist. He must have taken a bath for some reason.
"If you want me to go up there and apologize then you're wasting your time and no matter what you do and how you might blackmail me in any way which you do to other people it won't work" before Mei lin could speak Syaoran shut her up immediately and cornered her.
Just when you knew something somebody had to ruin it for you. Mei Lin closed her half open mouth and sat on the bed where Syaoran was. They sat there in silence until one of them spoke.
"Syaoran, I never cared if you hurt somebody else but hurting Sakura is another thing. Sakura cried her self to sleep. Did you have to break her heart by threatening to kill her family? I don't even know why you kidnapped her in the first place. Can't you at least be a bit supple?" Mei Lin stood up and headed to the door
"I can't be soft.. I don't have..." Syaoran was about to speak but this time it was Mei Lin who cut him off "A heart I know. But Sakura does. And never forget that humans have a heart unlike us" Mei Lin left Syaoran with mixed feelings.
What was he supposed to do? Be a mushy, sweet cupcake? That's a very scary thought, for Syaoran of course. He quickly changed into a casual set of clothing and went out to buy something. Wonder what he would buy.
Hours later.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes. Blinking them a couple of times to clear her vision. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, she felt a lot better now that she rested. She looked up and found Mei Lin across her sitting on a chair.
"Konnichiwa Sakura!" Mei Lin smiled at Sakura. She let out a simple smile. Mei Lin saw her smile and knew she hasn't recovered from the incident earlier. "Here, I took the courtesy to bring you food. I found some boxes from yesterday's order and took some." Mei Lin placed a tray on the bed. She found Sakura's food disgusting and repulsive and wondered how she can stand to eat it. Who knew humans would eat something as rotten as that.
Sakura reached for some water and gulped it down. All that crying made her throat thirsty and dry. She put the glass back down and stared at the floor "Ne, Mei Lin. I thought you said vampires couldn't stand sunlight but how come Syaoran can?" Sakura asked in a monotone. She didn't feel like being alive right now.
"There's a prophecy that says that a certain vampire is born. A vampire that could walk in daylight. I don't know much of the details of the prophecy though; my mom was the one who told me. Syaoran is that vampire. The only vampire who could take in the sun's shine." Mei Lin eyed Sakura but she continued to stare out into space. Like there was nothing around her except for the four concrete walls.
Mei Lin sat beside Sakura and rested her head on Sakura's shoulder, this surprised Sakura. "Don't mind Syaoran. I know he can be such a beast but he also can be warm to you. He just doesn't know how to show it, but he really does have a good side. Though at times he shows it to you in very unusual ways."
Sakura smirked at this. Right, so that hentai has a good side when will that be? The only way for him to have a good side is when the world will break in two!
Sakura ate her food in silence. After she ate Mei Lin brought the food down, she thanked Mei Lin for being so kind to her. Mei lin said it was nothing and left Sakura to be alone.
Sakura reflected and thought of what to do. She was literally forced to follow Syaoran, his every whim and request. Was she to be a slave for him? He doesn't need a nanny not unless he's too stupid to take care of himself. He was nineteen so she couldn't be abducted to be a part time nanny for him.
A love slave? A very disturbing thought indeed. If ever she was forced to love him in anyway then she would rather kill herself.
She reached for her neck to touch the necklace but upon reaching her necklace's resting place it wasn't there. She was too caught up in her situation that she hasn't noticed it was gone. It must have flown out during the crash Sakura thought.
Syaoran arrived when the sun had retreated to let the moon shine on the dark sky. He opened the door finding his peers watching TV. He got in and closed the door behind him. Jamie caught sight of Syaoran and thanked god he had arrived it was already eight in the evening and they haven't eaten.
"Thank the gods you're here Syaoran. We're going out to get some chow" Max said as he stood up. They couldn't leave earlier otherwise Sakura would be left all alone in the house and Syaoran wouldn't like that. Alex turned off the TV and followed the others "We know you've already satisfied your hunger, we can smell a strong scent of blood emitting from you" Eriol stated. Syaoran didn't say a word to any of them.
"Yeah so bye Syaoran" Alex waved his hand and went out to greet the moon together with the others except for Mei Lin. She wanted to remind Syaoran of something. "Syaoran, Sakura hasn't eaten dinner yet and she wouldn't come down so you HAVE to bring some food to her upstairs" Mei lin said in a motherly tone as if Syaoran was a babysitter for her offspring "She can get it herself" Syaoran said in a dull tone. He wasn't interested to be the caregiver of some gaki "You abducted her so you take care of her. She's your responsibility, you know that. There's food in the fridge and lights out on 10 o' clock" now Mei lin was pushing it.
She got it from the TV. It proves that TV is educational in some ways. Syaoran let out a growl while Mei Lin let out a smile and went out the door. She had to do ways for them to make up besides she wanted to see if Syaoran can handle his captive. Sakura can be the sweet girl-next-door but she can also be a stubborn kid.
Syaoran headed for his room. He opened the door and took off his shirt. He felt more comfortable with out his shirt, he lied down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Silence swept through the room, he listened to the wind from outside, and the grass swaying with the wind.
Minutes passed by and he wasn't able to close his eyes. All he could think of was that gaki of a girl. Every time he would think of her a shot of pain would sting his chest and he hated every minute of it. No matter how he tossed and turned sleep wouldn't overcome him.
Finally giving up he stood up and went out of his room. He noticed the clock and it said eight thirty "Why am I doing this again?" Syaoran asked himself aloud as he prepared a tray and began to fill it with various kinds of food. After having set everything he carried it upstairs to Sakura.
"I still can't believe I'm doing this" Syaoran said as he arrived in front of Sakura's door. He entered and found Sakura sitting on the middle of the bed still wearing her tight polo shirt and keeping her knees close to her chest. He placed the tray on the bed beside her without saying a word to her and vice versa.
Sakura brought her head up and found Syaoran standing by the window his hands stuffed into his pockets. He was yet again shirtless, how come every time Sakura sees Syaoran he's always topless?
"Eat, there's food that I brought for you" Syaoran said in tone that would tell you that he's not interested. He looked blankly at the moon. Sakura stared at his features enhanced by the moon's glow, she still hated him for earlier.
"No thanks. Food coming from you wouldn't be good" Sakura snapped back. She would resist no matter what "Is that supposed to mean something?" Syaoran looked back and gazed at Sakura. She looked so beautiful with her eyes filled with hate and her long messy hair covering small parts of her face. How he loved to push her down on the bed and watch her from above "Isn't that obvious? You're physically superior yet you're dumb as a rock" Sakura retorted this made Syaoran mad, real bad.
Sakura knew that would set him off. He's a person with high regard for himself and an insult would surely get him easily. She stared straight into his eyes as he walked towards her positioning his fists at his sides. He stared back at her. He wanted to skin her alive though he lusted after her.
Irony. How he loved the word. He stopped in front of her bed and looked down at her and cupped her chin letting out a smirk.
Next morning.
Sakura opened her eyes and found that it was morning she looked around. She sat up and headed to the bathroom. She needed to take a bath. Maybe take a dip in the bath tub with some warm water will do her some good.
She went inside the bathroom and turned on the faucet for the tub. She unbuttoned her polo shirt and dropped it to the floor and took off her undergarments as well. She slowly slipped in the tub and gave out a sigh "a warm bath is always refreshing early in the morning" Sakura said to herself. She then began to think of last night's events...
flashback
Syaoran stood in front of her and cupped her chin letting out a smile.
"I love it when you look at me like that. With your eyes filled with abhorrence, your lips pouting ready to bite me. It makes me feel extra special" with every word said he would rub his thumb to her gash covered with the pink band aid.
He felt blissful that Sakura hated him and it encouraged his lust to go further. He could feel warmth spread in his lower region. Sakura looked away and pushed Syaoran's hand revealing the band aid in complete view. Syaoran peeled the band aid off. He could smell blood that previously tainted it.
He held her shoulder and bent down on the bed resting his knee. He licked Sakura's cut making Sakura's eye grow wide. She never imagined him to do that she even expected him to hit her but he didn't. Is he feeding on her hate for him? Was her detestation pleasure for him?
Why is it whenever she'd suffer he's happy? Questions appeared in Sakura's mind as Syaoran slowly pushed her down on the bed with him on top of her. He began to kiss her cheek trailing the outline of her jaw with butterfly kisses.
Why the hell is he tormenting her with his actions, his words, his eyes, and his touch? Why does she always have to surrender to him? Why does she feel weak whenever he touched her? She felt like she was forced to be trapped in a trance.
Syaoran stopped and looked at Sakura his head directly above hers. Sakura turned her head to look at him her eyes telling him so many things. Things that didn't need words to be understood. Her eyes showed all of her emotions, all that she was feeling.
Syaoran pressed his forehead against the girl beneath him with his eyes closed and took one complete breathing cycle. He opened his eyes to meet her brighter set. This was the closest that they have gone to each other.
Tears emerged from Sakura's eyes. She was crying. Syaoran could feel her chest heave beneath him. He pulled his forehead apart and pressed his palms to her cheeks wiping the corner of her eyes with his thumbs supporting his weight on his elbows. He planted a kiss on Sakura's forehead and got off of Sakura.
He stood and paced towards the door but stopped when he took hold of the knob. "I'll leave the tray here so bring it down tomorrow morning" with that said Syaoran left Sakura lying on the bed.
Her tear stained eyes watched the ceiling. Her vision blurred now and then as she suppressed the tears that were about to materialize in her sockets. Her heart ached whenever she tried to inhale. She closed her eyes wishing that the spell of slumber would fall directly on her...
end of flashback
She continued to reminisce wondering, thinking of so many things. She wanted to go out of this house and run away. The whole week she was inside the house barely allowed to go out of the front door. She hated it. This was far worse than what she had experienced before.
She submerged her head in the tub holding her breath for a while wanting to drown and sleep forever. Drowning in a tub wasn't such a nice idea though so she brought her head up and swallowed a big amount of air. She sat in the tub and was watching the water ripple endlessly.
She got out of the tub and grabbed a towel wrapping herself with it. She went out of the bathroom and thought of what to wear. She didn't have anything of her own to wear and she didn't want to keep on borrowing Mei Lin's clothes. She looked at her used clothing "If I would wear them then I would stink all over again..." she picked it up and threw them into the hamper.
She pillaged the closet in the room and was luck to say the least that she found a bra to wear "Got a bra and now I have to borrow some panties too" Sakura said in an amused tone as she raised the bra to her eye level. She tried it on and was thankful that it fit her alright.
Talk about some luck. She looked over the dressers and saw a bunch of panties. She looked for the kind that she liked and found a string bikini. She knew it wasn't sanitary to use somebody else's underwear but did she have any other choice?
She put it on and searched for something to wear in the closet. She found a huge pajama top and chose to settle with it for now. Everyday she's wearing less and less clothing. If this goes on she'd be walking around the house naked.
She was about to head out of the room but remembered the tray that was left on the bed. Indeed she was hungry so she decided to eat it as her breakfast.
She brought the tray downstairs and found that the guys were watching a game. Max giving Mika a noogie on the floor and the others on the sofa. Syaoran sat there with his same old serious look. Sakura wondered where Mei Lin could be. She placed the tray on the sink and the leftovers in the garbage bag.
The guys only noticed Sakura when Mika stood up complaining about something and greeted her good morning "ohayou" Mika greeted the others turned their heads to look at Sakura. She just gave out a shy smile at them. Well, all of them looked at her except for you know who.
"Hey, how have you been hanging on lately?" Jamie asked coolly giving her a gentle smile "I'm about to lose my grip if I were to be honest" Sakura said looking away. All of them knew what she meant. Sakura wanted to tell Syaoran that she needed to buy something to wear but she didn't know what to call him.
She had to ask him cuz he's the only one who can accompany her when the sun is out. She didn't want to call him 'hentai' otherwise he wouldn't buy her the things needed. If she would call him 'Syaoran' he would misunderstand and think she likes him or something.
She thought of calling him 'Li-san' and decided that it was the best way to call him right now...
"Ne, Li-san?" Sakura asked in a tiny voice but audible enough for all to hear. Max and Jamie were Li's but they knew that Sakura wasn't referring to them. She was referring to Syaoran.
Syaoran turned his head to look at her and gave her an expression that asked 'what is it?' "Um, I need to buy some new clothes. It seems I'm running out of clothing... literally" Sakura stated looking at Syaoran. Syaoran looked at Sakura skeptically he stood up and headed for the fridge "You can borrow Mei Lin's clothes. I know she wouldn't mind" Syaoran said passing by Sakura
Sakura faced him and started to explain "I can't keep on borrowing you know. And incase you didn't know. I need to wear a thing called underwear. Maybe you don't wear one but I do" Sakura said sarcastically making some of the guys snicker "Do you want me to walk around naked or something?" Sakura asked in disbelief "I wouldn't mind" Syaoran said as he leaned against the fridge with his arms crossed over his chest giving Sakura a charming smile.
Sakura's mouth almost dropped open by this comment. She balled her hands into fists and pumped them in the air. "I agree with Syaoran" Eriol added. He knew Syaoran wasn't the type to be sharing something or SOMEONE for that matter. "Yeah, then maybe we can all see some live show or something like this book I read about sleeping beauty where she was told to move around the prince's castle naked..." Mika said with glee in his voice
Sakura turned her head at the guys and gave a shocked expression at them missing the death glare Syaoran shot at Mika. Mika saw this and sat on the sofa and gave out a nervous laugh as he watched TV "Go Lakers" Mika cheered as he continued to give a nervous laugh.
The rest just sweat dropped and continued to watch the game. "Okay, we'll buy your clothing but under one provision" Syaoran stated looking down at Sakura. Somehow Sakura knew she wouldn't like his 'condition' "and what is that?" Sakura asked looking at Syaoran whose lips were forming a smile.
Sakura looked herself over in the mirror. She didn't look herself. They had her hair dyed black and her eye color was changed from emerald green to a misty grey. She looked like her cousin Aia. It was Mei Lin who dyed her hair and suggested the grey contacts.
She didn't like her new look but she wasn't allowed to go out into the street looking like her old self. Syaoran suggested that he would buy her clothes but she rejected the idea. He might even bye a thong for underwear and something really sexy to wear over it.
Mei Lin came in and looked Sakura over "So do you like your new look?" She asked "not really" Sakura responded tugging her black hair "You'll get used to it. I know Syaoran isn't going to be happy that I changed your eye color. But who cares. Green doesn't go with black in the first place" Mei Lin said placing her hands on her hips giving out a cute pout.
Sakura giggled she was right. She was still wearing the pajama top and some sneakers. They went out of the room and met up with Syaoran in the living room. Both talked on the way but stopped when both were in Syaoran's presence "I changed her whole look hope you don't mind" Mei Lin said with a grin. Syaoran looked Sakura over from head to toe and this made Sakura feel uneasy and turn pink at the same time.
He hadn't expected for her to change that much. She didn't look like Sakura Kinomoto anymore but some of her features were still there so if you knew Sakura all your life then you'd know it's still her.
"Okay let's go" Syaoran said in a firm tone making Sakura flinch. She gave one last look at Mei Lin a face that told you 'this isn't going to be good'. She followed behind Syaoran out the door with Mei Lin waving them goodbye inside.
They got to his black BMW and Syaoran opened the car door for Sakura. Sakura gave an odd look at him Syaoran raised his eyebrow in return. 'What's his problem?' Sakura thought as she entered the car. Syaoran went to the other side and got in the car.
"Buckle up" Syaoran said as he put on his seat belt. Sakura frowned and wondered why Syaoran is twice as firm than before. He sounded just like Touya, so overprotective.
Sakura put on the seat belt and crossed her arms over her chest with a frown on her face and looked out her car window. Syaoran noticed her usual sour mood "What's wrong with you now?" Syaoran asked as he drove off and went out of the garage glancing at Sakura.
"Nothing" Sakura replied not looking at him Syaoran knew why she was sour in the first place "I just don't like your eye color that's all. I prefer your emerald eyes they're much more beautiful" Syaoran said in a flat tone
Sakura didn't know if she was to take it in a good way or in a bad way. But she didn't like how he sounded about her eyes all beautiful and all that. Crap. That's what it is. She didn't say a word to him she didn't want to talk to him. Besides he couldn't bring up a good conversation for both of them.
Sure they talk but after a few exchange of phrases he advances on her. Ecchi.
Half way their trip to the mall both were silent and never spoke a word to each other. Syaoran bored and such a brat he decided to scare Sakura by speeding. Of course he knew that. He didn't spy on Sakura for nothing you know.
He stepped on the pedal startling Sakura. He let out a sharp grin as he swiftly made turns around every corner. He could see in the corner of his eye that Sakura was holding onto her seat and closed her eyes.
He was overjoyed to tease Sakura like this. Maybe he should shop with Sakura more often.
He made a sudden stop in front of the mall letting out a smile and turned to Sakura. Sakura glared hard at Syaoran. He went out of the car and headed to open the car door for Sakura. He may be a vampire but he was still a gentleman.
He started to snicker at her predicament but was cut short with a yelp of pain when Sakura flung the door open and hit him in the knee. Syaoran held his knee and cursed at the beaming Sakura.
She felt good getting back at him for scaring her earlier. She wanted to laugh aloud but suppressed it instead. She went ahead of him and got into the mall.
Syaoran rubbed his knee and followed her inside. When he got inside he wondered why Sakura stopped. He looked around and knew the answer. People were staring at her who wouldn't she was wearing a loose pajama top and a pair of sneakers.
He smirked and went over to Sakura "That's what you get for hitting in the knee" he said through a smile. Her head snapped to his direction and pouted balling her hands at the same time by her sides.
She punched him in the arm and walked away "Jerk" Sakura mumbled heading to the nearest boutique. Syaoran wondered how a small little girl possessed so much strength. He rubbed his arm and headed to the same store.
Inside he found Sakura looking over different set of outfits. He headed towards her stuffing his hands into his pockets ignoring the sales ladies drooling over him. Why shouldn't they? He looked absolutely gorgeous with his black shirt and casual and loose black jeans even a certain grey eyed girl did.
"I'll be waiting by the benches across the fitting room. If you're done come over and I'll pay" Syaoran stated calmly. He didn't mind paying besides he wanted to. Sakura nodded and off Syaoran went to the benches missing the looks the sales ladies shot at Sakura.
She went through a lot of clothing but was able to find ones she liked the most. And what made it better was that there was lingerie sold in the same boutique.
She bought a lot of underwear and bras. She didn't want to buy new pairs again that would be annoying and she didn't want to be buying it with Syaoran. Once in a while she would glance at Syaoran and found that he was watching her. She hated it when he bore his amber eyes into her flesh.
She told one of the sales ladies to bring all of the things she got to the counter and walked towards Syaoran "Um, I'm done" Sakura said positioning her arms behind her. The sales lady dropped the entire load on the counter shocking the cashier lady. She gave a nervous smile and peeked at Sakura and Syaoran who were beside each other.
"Would that be cash or charge?" She asked "Charge" Syaoran replied handing the gold credit card to the cashier.
They went out of the store carrying with them a bunch of paper bags. Well Syaoran did Sakura only brought the lighter ones. Sakura wore a big smile because she changed into more proper attire in a white razor back sleeveless top paired with her mini khaki shorts and sneakers.
"Can we grab something to eat?" Sakura asked out of the blue Syaoran stared at her in a daze "please?" Sakura pleaded "What do you want to grab?" Syaoran smirked at his own question. Sakura knew what he was talking about and narrowed her eyes at him.
"I want ice cream" Sakura beamed at Syaoran. He gave out a gentle smile on Sakura's cuteness. "Okay"
Syaoran sat at the table placing all the bags down "You order. I'm not familiar with the menu" Syaoran gave Sakura his credit card "Okay!" Sakura skipped towards the guy who took orders.
Syaoran checked out Sakura's legs and gave out a smug smirk. He turned his attention north of him and saw that some other teenage girls around Sakura's age were checking him out as well. They smiled at him but he ignored them he didn't need their attention.
"I would like to have a strawberry and chocolate sundae pls." Sakura requested of the guy. The guy wrote it down and Sakura paid her order and went back to her seat with Syaoran.
The teenage girls noticed that Sakura sat with Syaoran and cursed that Syaoran had a girlfriend. They were so dead envious of Sakura.
Sakura and Syaoran sat there in silence for a couple of seconds. Syaoran supported his head on his palm and looked out the glass window. He was seated across from Sakura so he wasn't able to flirt with her...damn.
"Here's you credit card Li-san" Sakura slid the credit card towards Syaoran. Syaoran turned to look at her and held Sakura's hand "You can call me Syaoran" Syaoran requested as he stroked Sakura's hand "you can keep that, it's yours" Syaoran said staring right into Sakura's grey eyes
"Thanks" Sakura took her hand from his and kept the credit card in her pocket. Silence fell over them for the third time Sakura's eyes wandered all over place tapping the table with her palms while Syaoran enjoyed watching her in utter amusement a smile forming on his lips.
Sakura went out of the ice cream parlor with a strawberry and chocolate sundae in her hand Syaoran followed right behind her. They walked around for a while Sakura was window shopping at every store they passed with everyone staring at the "couple".
"Can we go to the supermarket? I need to go to and buy some groceries" Sakura said as she threw the plastic container of the sundae into a trashcan "Let's put these bags first in the car" Syaoran stated as he started to walk away.
They arrived outside and placed the bags in the trunk of the car. Syaroan looked at Sakura and snickered but didn't go unnoticed by Sakura. "Why are you laughing?" Sakura inquired "nothing" Syaoran looked away a smile still plastered to his lips. Sakura stomped her foot to the ground in annoyance
"Will you stop it? Mou! BAKA!!" Sakura screamed startling the two people who passed by one of them eyeing Sakura. Syaoran took out his handkerchief and wiped the smudge on Sakura's pale face "There's ice cream on your face" Syaoran said with a smile as he showed the handkerchief to Sakura
"Hoe?" Sakura asked innocently and stared at the fabric shown to her "Is there something wrong Touya?" Yukito asked his long time friend "Huh? Um, no. nothing's wrong" Touya answered as he looked at the black-haired girl who was blushing while her companion gave out a smirk at her.
'She reminds me of Sakura' Touya thought as he walked away thinking where his little sister could be not knowing that the person he saw earlier was his sister...Sakura.
