1 To Fall In Love With a Dancer
Disclaimer: CCS does not belong to me.
Thank you for reviewing Magellan*Princess, Creatistar, Jurei! I love you guys! =) What happened to my previous reviewers? =( Are you not reading my story anymore?
Creatistar-You're too observant! =) I meant to write the chapter confusing. I can only answer your question about Devon calling Sakura 'babe.' They're not brother and sister, but they're close. Which explains why he called her 'babe.' I'm sorry if it offended you or anyone else who read the previous chapter.
Li Syaoran had just gotten out of the shower and was drying his wet chestnut hair with a towel. Looking out the window, he admired the clear blue skies. He smiled when he saw two butterflies flying in circles.
'When was the last time I had a relationship?' he thought.
He had been so caught up in working on his cases for the past couple of years that he didn't have time to go out.
Sighing, he pulled on a white muscle shirt and black pants. It was time he got a girlfriend he decided. Maybe even get settled down. He had just bought a new house so he and his cousin Tomoyo could start a new life. Her parents' death in a car crash changed her, and he had been the only one willing to take her in and help her find her old self once again. His parents too, were gone. His dad, who was also a detective, died on the job. And his beloved mother died out of grief, over his father's death.
"Syaoran! Where are you? You're suppose to meet my dance teacher today!"
The sudden voice surprised him, and caused him to push his thoughts aside.
"I'm coming Tomoyo!" he called back.
Running a quick hand through his hair, he grabbed his keys and headed down the stairs.

As Syaoran was driving, Tomoyo began to inform him about her dance teacher.
"She's so pretty Syaoran! Her name is Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto. She danced with Eriol Hiiragizawa a few years ago. She has green eyes…"
'Green eyes?' Syaoran thought. 'Didn't that one girl…'
"Syaoran! Watch out!"
Stepping on the brakes, the wheels screeched. They were two inches away from the hitting the car in front of them. Syaoran closed his eyes and breathed deeply.
"You idiot! Are you insane? You almost got us killed! What in the world were you thinking?"
Tomoyo was obviously angry and upset. Her usual calm lavender eyes were now large and filled with fright.
Syaoran took one of Tomoyo's hands and put it to his own heart.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo. I didn't mean to scare you. It was an accident. You know I would never do anything that would hurt you in any way."
Syaoran was so sincere that it almost made Tomoyo cry. Taking a hand back, she grinned.
"Take that innocent look off your face Syaoran, and drive! We have an appointment with my dance teacher!"

Sakura smiled brightly as she got out of her new and improved car. She had just gotten it back yesterday, and it drove like a dream. She began to think about a certain man with amber eyes, but a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss Sakura!"
Turning around, she saw Tomoyo walking towards her.
"Tomoyo! I'm glad to see you. Where's your cousin?" Sakura asked.
"He'll be coming. I can't wait until practice starts."
Sakura smiled. She liked Tomoyo a lot. Not only was she a talented dancer, but a very sweet girl.
"Tomoyo…"
Sakura looked up at the male voice and gasped.
It was the same man that took her home the other night!
"Hi, I'm Tomoyo's cousin. Syaoran Li. And you must be her teacher. Sakura Kinomoto?"
Sakura was confused that he acted so friendly, but was relieved that he didn't recognize her.
"Hi Syaoran. Please follow me inside. I need to talk to you about Tomoyo and her schedule."
She gave him a quick smile before she turned around and headed towards the dance building.
When they got inside, Allen was also there. He smiled at them.
"Tomoyo," Sakura began. "Allen will be your dance partner at the time being. Please get acquainted with him. Practice will start in fifteen minutes."
Nodding, Tomoyo left Syaoran's side and walked towards Allen.

Inside the office, Sakura was talking to Syaoran.
"Tomoyo is an awesome dancer Mr. Li. She definitely has what it takes to become a professional. What do you think?"
When she looked at him, Sakura noticed that he was studying her.
Finally, he spoke.
"I know Tomoyo is a good dancer. That's why I let her enroll in this dance school."
"I see."
Sakura felt nervous around Syaoran. It was hard to explain.
"Practice sessions are Monday through Friday all year long. The school is open on Saturday for free practice time, and is closed on Sunday. The time I have for Tomoyo and Allen is from 6:00-8:00 PM. Is it appropriate?"
"Very."
"Thank you for meeting me Mr. Li. I really--"
"Was your Daddy happy to see you safely back home the other night?"
Sakura was shocked at his question. He knew it was her all along.
"Well?" he inquired.
"Please leave my office. Our conversation is over."
'Playing hard to get? I like it…' Syaoran thought with a grin, and he stood up.
"You haven't answered my question Miss Kinomoto. It's Miss, right? Not Mrs.?"
Sakura was getting frustrated. This man was impossible.
"It's none of your business Mr. Syaoran Li. If you don't get out of my office on your own, I will gladly show you out myself."
Reaching for the doorknob, she felt Syaoran's hot breath on her neck.
"Don't open it. I'm not done with you yet."
The instant Sakura turned around, she knew she made a terrible mistake. Syaoran's arms were on each side of the door, boxing her in.
"It has to be 'Miss' Kinomoto. It has to be." Syaoran murmured in her ear.
Sakura's breathing was uneven and she trembled when she felt Syaoran gently kiss the back of her neck.
"Your perfume is making me go insane. Wear it next time we meet."
Pulling away, Syaoran grinned and put his hands into his pockets.
"Open the door for me, will you?"
All Sakura could do was nod, and follow him onto the dance floor, where Tomoyo and Allen were talking.
