-------------------AUTHOR'S NOTE------------------




Hiyee! First of all, I'm very sorry for the late updates… (you should expect more of this because I have to go to school now…) and I want to thank everybody who reviewed my work! bow arigatou gozaimasu! :)


Demo, I have one request for you… this is for those who I updated personally. You see… my e-mail account can't accommodate new mail anymore. For I have many e-mails in which I don't want to delete. So is it okay for you if you just review my works in the ff.net? Besides, I don't usually open my e-mail so I sometimes forget to acknowledge you in my author's note…. But if you're letter is really that important and a secret, I will understand. (I'm too demanding, ne?) =D

So that's it! Thank you again!!!!


I don't know if you'll like this one since it's really short. Actually I was planning to merge it with the last chapter, but I thought that it'd not be very good since they both have songs and it'll become boring… (Don't you think so? Or I'm just imagining things?)


Hehehe! This chapter will be another mushy ones. :) You can't blame me for I'm really a hopeless romantic girl! (Imagine, I'm 18 and I still don't have any b/f?!? hehehe!) Well, I must say that I'm single but happy! :)


And about the 'sh' word… it means "yes" in Mandarin. I know you're a bit confused because I also used 'Shi' as the surname of Fei Xi. (You see, her whole name is Shi Fei Xi, actually, it's my friend's name. I just used it without her knowing. =P)


I'm also sorry about the bird street! :) Hehehe! I remember it was in the first movie, demo I got lazy to change it since I've uploaded it. :) But it's true, the bird street is in the first movie. So I would like to thank those people who told me that. (Well, I won't mention your names since I think all of the people who reviewed my work said it. Teehee! =P)


girl.of.the.hour

Hahaha! :) tnx ha? Talagang sweet c Syaoran! nodnod and he's really a gentleman.

C Sakura din! :) Actually, I'm still learning those languages, especially the French one. nodnod and I'm really happy that one of my reviewer's actually teach me how. (you know misakie-chan? Well, cia yung nagtuturo sa akin ngaun. Galing noh?!) medyo madali n kc yung portugese since halos pareho lang cia nung native tongue natin. :) about Fei naman…. Yeah! she's really a bad person! in reality, cia pa lang talaga ang nagagawa kong totoong antagonist… hmmm… I think I gave away some clue… winkwink

About school naman… ako din, medyo matatagalan na ako bago ulit makapag-sulat. Hehehe… hinahabol ko kc yung cumlaude eh! (taas ng pangarap ko noh? =P so that's it! I'll just wait for your reviews if you can write one. Ok? buh-bye!


kura52

Oh, it's okay! At least you gave me your review. Hehehe, unfortunately, I think I'll be slower in updating. As in… ssssslllllooooower. Coz if it's your vacation, then it's the start of our class. It means, more assignment and trainings! :) (Here in the Philippines, the school starts every June and ends in March. So you see… I think I can't upload very much.) thanks for reviewing again… I also like mushy stuffs… hehehe, I'm a hopeless romantic gal! =P that's why I wrote what I really want to happen in my love life! (though I still don't have one…I believe in 7B's rule: Books Before Boys Because Boys Brings Babies! Hehehe!) so that's it! Hope you also like this one!


blissful trinity

Yup! nodnod You can say that! It's really a big plus for Syaoran! He's really schweeet! Actually, I really wrote what I want to have when I'm on a date. :)so keep on reading, ok!?!


Animekid9

Arigatou!


sakura tenshi.AnGeL oF lOvE 2004-06-05 11 Signed

nod nod fei xi really deserves it! And I don't think I want Syaoran to slap somebody. It would be brutal, ne? (though my hands were itching to write that one, back then…) keep on reviewing! :)


ameeh

well… he's a soccer captain. Gomen, if I confused you. Demo I think football and soccer are the same. It uses a spherical ball with black patches. I know there are also kinds of football that uses an almond shape balls, but I consider it as ruigby (if they have protective gears) and American football (if they don't have any gears). So that's it! Hope you understand! Besides, my teammates and I prefer using football, 'coz out friends keep on saying that we're soccer varsity and teased us by changing the accent of the word. (do you get it? =P)


mycherrywolf

Thanks anyways! I really like your review. bow demo, I think I'll be like you… (updating late) for my school starts last June 8. weeps I'm really sad, demo, I think I'll really be slower this time for I'm trying to have not just good, but high grades… :) and about the story… you see, I really like my story to be more realistic. (You would if your best friend keeps on saying that I should stop daydreaming and stick to reality.) Besides, I also want to share my knowledge to you. Who knows, you might go to HK one day, then I would be glad if you use my trivia and tips! =P that's it! Enjoy my fic!


anime-wuver-016

Thanks!


nosie

Sh means yes, demo I used another Shi as Fei xi's surname. I'm sorry if I got you confused. bow keep on reading!


katana-hime

Thanks! I also love Sakura when she's in a girl mode. :) So I really hope you'll like this one! =P well… about the languages…I know them all… demo, you can say I'm not that fluent. I'm still trying to learn them… especially French. (And misakie-chan's patiently teaching me) :) it's really hard, especially when you got so confused and you just mixed it up! Like sometimes, I tend to speak Chinese and Japanese every now and then, especially when I'm excited. So, my friends always look at me, weirdly, because our native tongue is Filipino. So that's it! Keep on reading! I'm really happy you like this!


Bex Drake

Thanks! V-sign Hong Kong is really great! Especially at nighttime! :) I'm really happy to share it with you and I'm glad you like it! and I'm also glad that S and S now trust each other for I can now write with ease since I really want them to be together! :) keep on reading, ok?! :)

kittyfaerie3000

Thanks!


Yolie-chan

Arigatou! bow I'm really happy that my grammar is getting better! (thanks to you!) and I'm really sorry about the bird street… hehehe… you see I'm really sleepy when I wrote my story and I got lazy to change it. hehehe. thanks anyways for reminding me. And about anti-emetic… I'm sorry if I uses jargon… I tend to forget the layman's term since I'm in the medical field. (I'm studying nursing.) So, anti-emetic is a drug the physician prescribes to a person who easily gets dizzy and have the tendency to vomit. (do you understand?… I'm really sorry if I can't explain it very well… hehehe, I can't fully explain it in simple terms coz what roaming in my mind right now is the scientific meaning of the drug. Gomen nasai!) and about the tube part and skirt… hehehe, I just thought that I should describe you what they wore. :)


Cherry Princess Sakura

ARIGATOU! I'm still thinking where I can put fluff and actions… (I'm having a major writer's block. Hehehe) about the languages, I speak them but I'm not that fluent. My native tongue is Filipino and my Chinese is getting rusty… hehehe, do I make any sense? … so here's another story! Hope you like it!


Firey chan

lil-asian-gurl

Thanks! Keep on reading!


kimmikat

Thanks! I know, well… I think… 8 languages…?(Filipino, English, Mandarin, Nippongo, Portuguese, German, Spanish and French…) demo I'm not fluent on some… especially in French. (I really suck in it! hehehe.) I'm still studying them… I have my mentors, demo I sometimes ditched them. (very bad, huh?) Filipino is my native tongue, so I'm also having a hard time speaking in English. And I think having too many languages has a great downfall… you see… I tend to mix them up… I always greet my classmates in Chinese (which is sadly they don't understand) and sometimes I just automatically yell in Nippongo when they surprised me. :) And worst, I mimic my grandparents when they speak Spanish (which made my mother angry), since they always tell stories in Spanish. (hehehe, they thought, we children didn't understand what they're talking about… well… it's almost gossips anyways) and about the Bird street, I'm really happy for you!!!! keep on reading, ok! thanks again!

Fanficpixie

Hiyeee!!! Wow! Salamat sa mahabang review! :) ang dami mong tanong ah! Pero I'll try to answer all of them… =P so, I see that you've enjoy your trip in Hong Kong… (hope so… =P) I'm also happy na nagustuhan mo yung pagkakagawa ko ng mga characters nila Syaoran. nodnod… about naman sa languages… marunong akong magsalita nung mga yun… pero ndi talaga ako magaling… actually, my isang reviewer dito na tinuturuan akong mag-french… kinocorrect nia yung mga french na binibigay ko sa kania. (c misakie-chan! =P she's really good!) tapos yung iba, medyo paminsan-minsan ko lng ginagamit, kunwari pag Spanish or Portuguese… ginagamit ko lng yun pag-kausap ko ung mga lola or mga matatanda kong relatives… tapos Chinese, ung mga Chinese ko lang na classmates. (mas prefer kc ng famili ko na magsalita ng tagalog eh.) tapos ung Japanese, sa mga friends kong mahilig sa anime. And yung German naman, sa isang classmate ko lang yun sa highschool… (taga Germany kc cia… kya tinuruan nia ko noon.) And last, of course, yung Filipino and English na tinuturo sa school…. Whew! Sana ndi k nabored sa cnabi ko. :) kaya may tulong din talaga ako… hindi naman ako superhuman eh… hehehe…

About nman sa ibang questions mo… I think you should just wait… cguro medyo after nitong chapter yung sagot or sa next chappie… I don't know… I'm still thinking kung kylan ko to tatapusin… :) sorry talaga kung walang tulong yung cnabi ko… kc baka maging spoiler eh…

and yung tungkol naman sa Tsubasa reservoir, nakita ko na cia… kya lang ndi ko pa gaanong nababasa kc Nippongo yung sulat… kc medyo 3rd year HS pa ako nung tinigil ko yung pagsusulat at pagbabasa ng jap… kaya nahihirapan na ako ngayon. :) ang gwapo talaga dun ni Syaoran noh? =P grabe talaga! :) kung gusto mo, try mo puntahan to… kc may mga scanned na manga dito: …. Maganda talaga! :) dun ko cia unang nabasa, kc ala pa naman niyan dito sa Pilipinas eh… hehehe, ndi naman kc masaydong aware yung mga tao sa anime eh. :)

Hahaha! Talagang dapat mong dalhin c Syaoran pag bibili ka ng jades! =P actually, ang hirap talaga… nodnod yung classmate ko talaga yung nagturo sa akin kung pano pumili… :)

Hope ko talaga mas mahaba yung review mo ngayon… pero nag-aalangan talaga ako, kc parang ndi worth it ntayin to eh. =P actually, ito lang yung continuation nung so-called 'date' nilang dalawa. :) so, alang action na mangyayari… next chappie pa kc yun… hehehe… =P pero don't worry… kung gusto mo ng mushy… then okay to (cguro) sayo! :)

And of course! I really want your reviews!!!! Kc diba, ikaw ung unang kababayan ko na nakilala ko? kaya naman I'm really happy kapag nakakatanggap ako galing sau. :)

Ja means 'see you later' actually jane yun… kaya yung ja eh parang 'later' na lang…. Tapos yung ne. parang affirmation. Kunwari… Syaoran is really cute, ne? ibig sabihin… Syaoran is really cute, right? Basta 'right' yun na pang affirm… gets mo ba? Hehehe… ang pangit kong mag-explain noh? :) oh, well… ito na po yung next chappie… hope you like this one! Para ulit sau to! =P

Chapter 11: Weekend With Syaoran (Part 1I – I Love You)



































Soft fragrance awakes her senses as she saw another batch of flowers in her table. This will be the first thing that she'll miss when she went back to Japan. Yeah… Japan… Sitting herself up to her bed. Thinking of her homeland just now makes her feel lonely. But somehow it's not that grave like her first time here in Hong Kong. She knows that it'll be difficult for her to leave this foreign land. For in some way, the people here became attached to her. Stop it, Sakura. You're just making yourself sad. Fetching the garland of flowers at her bedside table. But as she brought the flowers to her, she instantly dropped it in her lap.


Rare white Heathers scattered in her bed as she tries to recall the meaning of it. Wishes will come true… what did he mean about that? She then looked back at where she got the flowers… O-Oh m-my God!









XOXOXOXOX









Hoeeee!





"At last, she woke up." He said, taking a sip of his coffee while bringing back his attention to the broadsheet. Then, just before he read the first line, a lithe form embraced him tightly. "Wha—"


"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you…!" the auburn figure said, tightening her grip to the young wolf. "Thank you very much!" she said, not even noticing that she's still wearing the dress she had yesterday.


C-Can't b-breathe…!
He whispered, turning his pink cheeks to somewhat blue. "S-Sakura, l-let g-go…!"


"Oh! Gomen, gomen." Standing up right away as the young man gasps for oxygen.


"God, you're like a monster!" he said while collecting his self in the process. He then focuses his thought to the sitting lady before him as it thrusts forward the blond mohair bear with 'haute couture' outfit that was no doubt designed by Louis Vuitton. "Gland you found it." He added, gazing at his beaming housemate.


"Of course!" hugging the bear in her bosom, "Demo, how did you find this? I heard that this was sold to a Korean man and I would definitely say that this is the real one since it has a signature of the Steiff President and has a gold-plated button-in-ear…. And look…" lifting the bear's left foot, "It even has the emblem of the Monaco Aide et Présence and the number '2000', embroidered in his sole."


"You're really a fanatic of bears, ne?" smiling at the cuteness of the lady.


"You can say that." She affirmed, playing the bear in her hands, "And now, I know where will be going for today."


"Really?"


"Un."


"Where?"









XOXOXOXOX









TEDDY
BEAR KINGDOM reflects in Sakura's eyes as she looks at the banner in front of her. "Wow! Syaoran! This is soooo cooooooool! An amusement park inside the mall!" she huff, grabbing the young man with her left hand while hugging the Louis Vuitton bear in her right and her purse in her left. She then pouted when she realized that her companion wasn't moving. Looking back, "Hey! Aren't we going to start the tour?"


"Of course, we are! But first…"


"What?" feeling energize at the events.


"Well… promised me that you won't say 'thank you' until I tell you to, okay?" Gazing seriously to the emerald-eyed lady.


"Okay, I promise!" raising her left pinky to the guy. "It's a pinky promise." She confirmed to the confused wolf, as he followed her gesture. "Mou, Syaoran! You're really acting weird." She said after their pinky swearing. She doesn't understand her housemate at all. What's the big deal about saying thank you, anyway? She thought as they both walk inside the place.


But right after she stepped inside. Two teddy bear mascots welcome them as the pink bear gave her a card.


May your tour today be as happy as yesterday…
she reads, as the brown bear mascot handed her another one, "Sushi!" she exclaimed while hugging the panda bear together with the blond one. She then gazes back at the young wolf that's simply smiling at her. Now she knows what the guy was telling her earlier. Thus, she just bowed a little and returned the smile.


"What do you want for breakfast?" the chestnut-haired guy said to the cheery lady. He's really happy to see his angel smiling. He would give everything just to see her smile.


"Well… what do you suggest?"


"They have this place called 'harmony tree' where they cook Japanese dishes. Want to come?"


"Sugoi!" clapping her hands awkwardly because of the bears in her hand, "Why don't we go now?" grasping Syaoran's arm as they march to the restaurant.


"Hmm… looks like this one's chock-full." scanning the crowded room, "Why don't we sit over there?" pointing the empty table near the fabricated tree.


"Sure thing!" she said as she tread her way to the place.


Syaoran couldn't help but chuckle at the childish lady. This is really the other side of Sakura that he didn't see often. But she couldn't blame her… for she really did have a very complicated life. "What's the matter?" he asked after seeing her stop.


"I-It's…"


"Harlequin." He answered for her while Sakura pick up the bear with red and blue mohair, and felt paws that has an unusual shade of yellow.


There's a rainbow always after the rain…
she murmur, reading the note beside the toy, "B-But Harlequin was a prototype that never went into series production of Steiff..." she breathed, "H-How come you…."


"Magic." Giving out his wolfish grin, motioning for Sakura to sit, "So, shall we order now?"


"Hai."


The breakfast wasn't that eventful. Both ate in silence with some bantering every now and then. And the looks people gave Sakura went unnoticed by the young lady making Syaoran smile at the scene. He felt really lucky when people start to admire the beautiful angel beside him. Who wouldn't notice her anyway? She has the most beautiful smile as bears surrounded her like she was a princess in fairyland.


"Daijoubu?"


"A—Un." Taken aback at the waving hand in his face, "I was just thinking—"


"—Don't! It might kill you."


"Nice one, Sakura." He replied while smirking, "Anyhow, want to go to the museum?"


"Definitely!" both standing up but not before the young man placed again the bills at the table.


"Demo, I think I should help you with those fellas, ne?" offering his hands to Sakura and taking the purse from her.


"Iie!" (No)


"Doushite?" (Why?)


"Louis or Sushi or Harlequin will be sad if I handed them to you." pouting like a child, "You see, I believe in equality, and I want them to receive equal affection from me."


"I couldn't believe that you're the mature, witty and sarcastic Nakamura Shun I met months ago… You really surprised me." Looking at the lady that's hugging the three bears as they saunter to the museum.


"Well... what can I say? I guess I am!" Facing the young wolf, "And don't tease me, ok? I'm happy and I don't want you ruining my day." Continuing her walk as the pink bear mascot earlier open the door for her. "Enjoy the Sakura you're now with, for it only happens once-a-millennium."


And again, the recognizable squeal finds it way to Syaoran's ears.


"Sugoi!" as emerald eyes dance in the collection of teddy bears inside. There were over four hundred teddy bears created by world's famous artists and manufacturers inside the place. And Sakura literally jumps with joy upon seeing them all, "Wow! This looks like a haven for teddies!" Squealing with amusement, leaving the young man behind while staring intently at the displays.


"Well, it seems that your girlfriend is enjoying this place." The man in his late thirties beside Syaoran said, as it carry his daughter on his shoulders.


"Yeah… well, she's not my girlfriend." he spoke, feeling awkward for he's really not that sociable.


"Really?"


Nodding his head, "We're just close friends." Beaming at the young lady that's jogging en route for them. "And I'm just showing her some hotspots here in Hong Kong."


"Well… I think your eyes are opposing what you said." Smiling as he also looks at the running belle.


"Hay Syaoran!—Oh… du bu qi." She said, bowing to the man beside the young wolf.


"Angel!" the girl with cinnamon hair and blue eyes squeal, as she removed her chubby hands to her father's mane and then tries to clap.


"Oh, careful!" the so-called angel warned, dropping the bears as she raised her arms to support the child, making the father bring down the little girl from her shoulder, and Syaoran to pick up the stuffed toys. "You shouldn't do that when you're being lifted, okay?" patting the child's temple as she hoist her gaze to the man.


"I'm sorry for my child's action, Miss. But I must agree that you really are stunning. Making me remember of my deceased wife."


"Why thank you, kind sir. And I'm sorry to hear about your wife." Sakura curtsied, which surprised Syaoran, "I just hope that you like it here. For I, myself is enjoying it very well."


"Um, excuse me, miss." A man that's wearing the staff uniform approaches them, "Are you Miss Kinomoto?"


"Un, why?"


"Here…" giving another teddy bear, but this time it appears to be a bit old and not that pretty to look at.


"Xiexie." Taking the offered bear as she began again to read the pink card with it. Things are made out of kindness…


"I see… that'sPB28, the oldest known bear in the world." The man said, while taking a glance at the silent wolf, "And it's very rare… you sure is one lucky girl to have it."


"Un. And I'm really grateful that Syaoran gave this to me." Eyeing the young man with sincerity. Then she felt someone tugging her, "You want me to accompany you to the big bears?" making the little girl nod, "If you don't mind…" asking permission to the older man.


"Of course." As the young lady and his daughter walk away. "Such fine and charming lady… but I can see some fear in her eyes…" telling Syaoran what he discovered, "And I can see that you're fixing that up, right?" seeing the young man nodded, "She's really lucky to have you."


"I beg to differ… for she saved me, yet she doesn't know it. That's why I'm trying my best to make her happy."


"Then good luck… because, I think you needed it." Gazing at the smiling angel with his daughter. "She's really quite dense… if I based it on what you've said to me."


"Thank you." as they both walk to their own companions. He couldn't help but smile a bit about what the guy had told him. Sakura is sure that transparent when she's in her true self…


After a bit of teddy bear sight seeing, the older man smiled back at the young lady while holding his daughter's hand. "I think, we must go now… it's a pleasure meeting you too."


"So are we… Goodbye, Ran-san." Sakura said, making another curtsy as the father and daughter left the museum. Then, "He's really kind. Ne, Syaoran?" looking back as the wolf nodded beside her.









XOXOXOXOX









"Mou, Li-kun… don't be so rude and help me in here." She demanded, crossing her arms as she sits still at the picnic table from where they had their lunch with her now six teddy bears.


Right after they left the museum, they decided to go to the Carnival forest, in which they played the famous 'War Game'. And obviously, just as she expected, another bear was being given to her, making it a perfect timing because the cinnamon-colored mohair bear was named Peace, with a letter again from the young wolf which reads: always praying for your peace of mind and heart. Thus, her curiosity as to where the young man found those rare bears escalated another inch.


And just as she was starting to eat her 'teddy bear special', the brown bear mascot handed her 'Teddy-girl' that's famous because she became the companion of the famous arctophile. And another card was attached to it that has an: I'll be your companion forever note. She was really stunned then, for the cute bear 'was' the main attraction at the Izu Teddy Bear Museum in Japan. Actually, she's been dreaming to have the bear ever since she saw it. But the budget in having Teddy-girl was too high for her high school allowance, which was 110,000 English pound.


"But I thought that you believe in equality?" grinning while facing the angry lady, "The bears will be really sad if you don't hug them equally." Making face as he waved his index finger that's holding Sakura's purse.


"Hmp! It's your fault anyway. You spoil me with these babies."


"But you like it, ne?"


"Of course I do!" balling her fist, "Demo, you know that I'm just a girl… I'm weak… I'm helpless…" mimicking some silly commercial on T.V. "… and I need Hercules for some help!" acting like a vulnerable lady.


"You know…" picking up three bears from the table, "…you're a very bad actress."


"Ha! At least, you buy it!" bringing up the other three, "Hey, let's go to the treasure cave… maybe they have more teddy bears in there."


"Are these bears aren't enough for you?" he asked with fake irritation plastered on his face as the young lady kept on walking inside the shop.


Different teddy bear kingdom collection welcomed them as they walked inside. And yet again, Sakura couldn't help but cry with happiness, "Look, Li-kun! It's Hon-Hon's family!" gesturing the young wolf to look at the family tree of the icon of the park. "Aww… kawaii… I never knew Hon-Hon has a girlfriend!" Staring at the pink with streaks of red bear beside the brown one.


"Well, what do you expect? You just met Hon-Hon today." Pointing out the obvious.


"You're such a spoilsport, Li-kun!" sauntering away from the sarcastic man. Then she bumped into someone, "Gomen nasai!" bowing for apology but when she lifted her body, a rare black teddy bear greeted her. "O-Othello!"


"It's for you, Milady." The old man said, probably the manager of the store, handing the black bear in her hands with a green card in it.


"T-Thank you." bowing again as the man left her in her thoughts. Again… another feeling of excitement rush in her body as she begins to read the note. Always remember that you're not alone…


"Did you know that Othello was the original 'mourning bear' when the Titanic sank?" Syaoran said, breaking the silence.


"Syaoran… A-Ari—"


"—Shhh…" placing his index finger on her mouth, "… you promised, ne?"


"But this is too much."


"Nothing's too much for you, Sakura."


She was overwhelmed. No one ever said that to her before. And hearing it makes her heart somewhat flutter… but, "Are you sure you're not bribing me into something?" Changing the topic before she thought of something she doesn't want to talk about. He's just being nice… she thought, erasing the thoughts that are bombarding her mind.


"I don't know…" he rib, placing his hand to Sakura's back, "Come on! The jazz band will be starting, anytime soon!" pushing gently his companion towards the performance place.


When they entered the place, there were eight bears on the stage, fixing the instruments they'll be playing.


Sitting themselves near the stage, "Look over there, Syaoran. The bear that's holding the guitar looks like Cheng-sensei!"


"Haha! You're right! And that long-headed one, is like Zheng!" laughing with the young lady as the teddy bear band starts to sing one of Elvis Presley's song.






I just wannabe your teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your teddy bear

I don't wanna be your tiger,

'Cause tigers play too rough.

I don't wanna be your lion,

'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough



I just wanna be your teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your teddy bear



Baby, let me be around you every night.

Run your fingers through my hair,

And cuddle me real tight.

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your teddy bear



I just wannabe your teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your teddy bear

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your teddy bear.

I just wanna be your teddy bear.





"Wow! They're really amazing!" Sakura claps, while the bear artists walk their way to the housemates, "Hoe?" as people stare at them intriguingly.


"For you." the leader of the band said as the guitarist handed her a blue card.


Hope the song didn't make you blue…
she reads as the long-headed bear that they were laughing earlier gave her the blue mohair bear. "Elliot." She half-whispered, "Xiexie." She said to the bears that walking back again at the stage. Opening her mouth—


"A-ah… you promised…" reminding Sakura before she even say thanks. Then, he stood up, "It's almost six. We should take our dinner now." bringing up the teddy bears and the white bag he have earlier, "Besides, I don't want to hear your stomach growling again." Recalling the event before breakfast.


"Are you sure you're not inveigling me?" following the smirking wolf in front.









XOXOXOXOX









"Boy, the ride in that lift, made me really dizzy." Sakura whispered, hooking her right arm elegantly to the young man beside him while clutching with her other hand her white purse. "I promise we were in the 60th floor of this hotel."


"Well, you're close. But I'm sad to tell you that we're only in the 56th floor." Smiling as he saw people glancing at their way.


"Ummm… I think we're in the wrong place." She added, looking at other people that are wearing elegant dresses.


Syaoran gazes at the lady next to him, "Why say that?"


"Well, even though we have decent dress, I think my attire is quite informal?" looking down at her pale yellow tube top and white tiered skirt. "I look like a party girl." Seizing the jade pendant in her neck.


"Don't worry about them! Besides, we're just taking our dinner. We don't have to be so formal… or do you want to wear one, huh?" He teased to the blushing lady.


"Y-Yamero! It's your fault anyway. I told you we could just eat at McDonald's, but you insisted on going in here." Recalling the event on the mall wherein they had an argue to where they would eat, "And now, we really looked like stupid jerks." Looking back at the Li-heir, "But I must say that your dress is close to formal. Did you set me up?" shrinking her eyes, commenting the black turtleneck and black slacks that the young man was wearing.


"Of course not! You shouldn't care what people think of you. I don't want you to feel uneasy by wearing frilly dresses. Furthermore, people here are aging, that's why they like wearing gowns and suits." He murmured, making the lady giggle, as they reached the door of their destination.


"Welcome to Restaurant Petrus." two men in suit and white gloves bowed before them as the housemates both enter the French glass door.


"Uh… ah… Thank you." she replied. Seeing the other customers stare at her, she instantly grabbed her partner's arm. "Let's go now, Syaoran." She whispered nervously as the young man chuckled in reply.


"I must say you definitely take the wind out of their sails even in your casual dress." Amber orbs glistening, as he looked at the flabbergasted men, "Reservation under Li Xiao Lang." Regaining his cold features as he talk to the staff.


"This way, please." One of them said, motioning for the couple to walk towards the table that's isolated from others and nearest to the large windows.


Now, where did I hear this place before…?
The auburn-haired lady thought, as she listens to the soft music in the background.


The restaurant is really an elegant one. It was decorated like a French castle, with the obligatory crystal chandeliers, black marble and gilded columns. There were also bronze female statues, thick draperies and impressionist paintings that add to the beauty of the Art Deco theme. Murals were gracing the dome-shaped ceilings, making the classical music that's playing softly in the background a perfect match.


"Enjoying the place?" he asked softly, not wanting to scare the awed lady. Sakura then nodded, too impressed to even speak. "You haven't seen the main attraction yet." Placing the white purse on the finely decorated 'hand bag' stools that the place provided for the ladies, and then offers the lovely comfortable chair to her. "Have a seat."


"T-Thank you." still surprised at the gentleman behavior of the young man. She then followed Syaoran with her gaze as it sits down in front of her. "W-What do you mean by the main attraction?"


"This one." He said while the man that accompanied them pulled back the elegant drapery, revealing a stunning panoramic view of the harbor, Hong Kong and Kowloon.


To simply put it; the views from the 56th-floor restaurant are really breathtaking. "It's really wonderful…" Sakura said, struggling for breath while looking at the beautiful scenery below. Then it clicked! I know this place! Placing her left hand to the large glass window, This is the restaurant that's Tomoyo's been telling me! If my memories are right, this place was selected as one of the five best hotel restaurants in the world. "Oh my God."


"Why?" he queried, looking deeply at the widened pools of his secret love.


"This place is Petrus."


"Wow, what a very late reaction."


"Shut up." She retorted, "Syaoran, this is Petrus!"


"I know that… You see, if you're just listening to your blabbing, you'll realize that you look stupid."


"Baka! What I mean is, this is the most expensive place in Hong Kong! And you brought me here for our supper?"


"But I thought you want to see the city lights from above?"


"Y-Yeah… But that doesn't mean that you should spend large amount of money to do this!"


Shaking his head, "It's no problem at all. Besides, I really want to eat here. This is just my second time dining in here. First is when Fuutie held her reception wedding, three years ago…" he lied while taking a breather, "Let's stop arguing and let's just enjoy this night, ne?"


She sighed, "Now I really think that you're bribing me into something." Glaring back at the innocent-looking wolf. "I'll just go to the rest room to freshen up, ok?" grabbing the purse from the holder and standing up.


"Heck! Why do you act so girly-girly today?" also standing up—as a gentleman gesture— mocking as Sakura smacked her purse to him and then looks at the smiling waiter.


"Could you tell me the way to the ladies' room?"


"I'll gladly accompany you there, Mademoiselle." Holding the offered hand of Sakura as they both walk away from the Li-heir.


After her 'freshening up', Sakura stepped out of the ladies' room, feeling more nervous. She then bowed down, feeling like a Barbie doll in auction. God, if looks could kill, I think I'll never reach the table. She thought, imprinting the gazes people were giving her.


"Don't worry about them, Milady." The man in late thirties that's waiting for her outside the room muttered, "You see, this place is strictly formal, but since you're an important guest, you're excused from the dress code… they're just envy of you for such treatment we gave you."


"Then why don't you treat me like the others?" she asked, felling comfortable beside the old man. "You see… I really feel weird because of the looks they're giving me."


He smiled, "It's an order."


"From Syaoran?"


Nodding his head, "But if you're considering my opinion. I can say that they're just jealous since you're really quite beautiful."


"T-Thanks." As they arrived at the table, causing Syaoran to stand up and pull the chair for her.


"What took you so long?" he said coolly yet you can see some glint in his amber pools.


Placing her purse on the stool, while sitting herself comfortably, "Looks." She simply said.


"Huh?" he queried the butler as he also sit, but the old man just smile at him. "Well… I think we should take our orders now." handing over the menu to her.


Her eyes widen upon seeing the price, "I-I think you should just order for me." Giving back the leather bound menu, "I can't take the price of those dishes. I'm afraid to see how much money I would owe you."


"It's my treat, okay?" beaming while looking at the menu, "Let's see…for starters, I think the young lady should have your Boston lobster salad while I'll take your Seared North Sea scallop… is that alright?" gazing at the emerald-eyed beauty before him. Upon seeing her nod, he continue, "Then we'll have Roast pigeon and Pan-fried fillet of turbot as our main course… And as for desserts, your streusel crumble served with raspberry sherbet for her and your chocolate fondant rolls for me…" glancing professionally to the scribbling man. Then, "…I would refer to your today's soup and Chateau Haut Brion 90' for our beverage." (Kami-chan: When you're in China, you should order first for the main course then the last will be the soup. When the waiter served the soup, it means that the meal is going to end soon. Hehehe… just another trivia.)


"Is that all, Sir?"


"Please don't ask anymore." Sakura politely interrupt, "Just hearing his orders already makes me full." Causing the old man to smile, "Syaoran, I think you ordered too much." Gazing intently at the young wolf.


Swaying his head in differ, "Don't be so sure, Sakura. You'll definitely order for more when you finished the first course." wickedly smiling back at his housemate, then looking at the butler, "That's all, thank you." relaxing a bit after the waiter walked out. "Why so glum?"


"You're definitely spoiling me, Li Xiao Lang." Sakura said, earning a smile from the young wolf upon hearing his Chinese name, "I will definitely have a hard time opposing your future requests."


"Sakura, I'm not bribing you into something, okay? I just want you to have some good memories while you're here in Hong Kong." Saddening a bit when he realized what he said. But then grinning again, "But if you insists, then I'll think of something—"


"—No!" she jumped in, as the butler placed their appetizers and wine. Right after the dish was situated, her eyes again marveled at the 4.5 mm teddy bear beside her glass. She then picked up the white card and then read it. Beautiful things are so small to be seenit says. She then raised her head and look directly at the ocher orbs. Her mouth too itchy to say the two words that's trying to slip from her mouth since she received Sushi. She then beamed, "I was just wondering… how did you know my obsessions? I mean, the specific ones." Rubbing her thumb to the smallest teddy bear in the world.


"Maki." He mouthed, clearing things out.


Now she understood! Only Tomoyo and Maki know her specific favorites. Since Maki was a stuffed toy seller in Tomoeda and Tomoyo's her best friend. She then take her gaze to the window and appreciate again the city lights. "I don't know what to say…"


"Then don't say anything." He murmured, staring at the soft features of the angel. Snapping back to reality, "I think we should start eating… I'm starving, you know."


"Animated stomach." She remarked while digging from her salad.


Again, their dinner wasn't that eventful. They just start telling jokes and then throwing cynical comebacks from each other. The classical music in their background didn't even match their heated and witty conversation.


"I'm so full!" Sakura said, as the butler gave them their soup.


"Yeah, me too." Her housemate agreed as he took something below the table. "Here…" passing the double mohair plush bear that have unusually large seductive eyes. "I hope you had a great time." As candle-like fingers seize the bear. "So I guess you know her name?"


"This one is Happy." She replied, reading the card that's with the bear. Be happy.


"Please don't say it… everything's not yet through." Beckoning for Sakura to finished up her soup, "Eat up and then we'll go home."


"Un." Not knowing what to do. She feels really blessed for having the young man in her side. It's not the thing he'd given her but the thoughtfulness he has shown. His presence was enough, but he gave her more than she needed. No one would even dare to do what he has done this weekend. And truthfully… this is really one of the good memories she'll always remember.









XOXOXOXOX









"Home sweet home!" Sakura contentedly sigh, sitting herself at the white couch beside her bushed housemate and all the ten teddy bears he'd given her this day. "I really had a great time. But my feet are killing me." She whined, removing her wedge sandals. "How about you?"


"Well, aside from being tired. I'm also sleepy." The young Li said, grabbing the remote control and then opening the television. "What do you say, Sakura? Let's call it a day, ne? I'm really exhausted." Laying his tired body horizontally to the couch when Sakura stand up. "I'll just help you bring your babies in your room tomorrow, okay?" Patting Othello's head carefully.


"Okay. Goodnight Syaoran." She answered back, still waiting for Syaoran's cue about saying 'thank you'. "Well I guess… this is it. Than—"





"—If all the snow-flakes were candy bars and milk-shakes, oh what a snow that would be… Stan-ding still with my mouth o-pen wide. Ah-ah-a-a... ah-a-a… ah-a-a… If all the snow-flakes were candy bars and milk-shakes, oh what a snow that would be…"
The singing voices from the T.V. halted her, indicating that it's not time to say it yet.





"Well, good night again. And enjoy watching Barney!" bringing her sandals and the green paper bag she has when they stepped out of the Teddy bear Kingdom while walking toward the long hallway. But it's almost midnight… what will be his surprise now? Mulling over the names of the bear he had given… I guess I have them all… except for on—Oh my God! Running her self to the familiar door and opening it hastily. "A-Alfonzo!" she exclaimed, dropping everything she have and gazing at the bright red teddy bear with an authentic Cossak costume, that's lying in her bed. She then lifted up the bear and look for some card. But she found a green paper rather than the familiar note tag.


The paper has an autumn scent in it, indicating that the young wolf had written it personally. His handwriting's not that bad. She thought while remembering her brother's calligraphy.





Hello Sakura,





Well, this is the end of your tour with me… I hope you enjoyed everything! But before the magic ends, Alfonzo will be my last gift to you because I know this is your favorite. Do you even remember his story? If you don't then hear this:

There was once a Princess in Russia named Princess Xenia. She was the most beautiful and charming lady in the land. That's why her father, Grand Duke George Michailovich, gave Alfonzo to her as a gift in 1908. When Princess Xenia paid a visit to Britain just before the start of WW1, Alfonzo went with her. The outbreak of war made her return home impossible and so she was spared from the fate of her relatives who perished in Russian Revolution. But even though the trials and sufferings she encountered, Alfonzo stayed close to her until she died in 1965.



That's why I tried to find it for you, cause I know that you really deserve this. Only someone special like you can have Alfonzo. Because only you can give the care and love Princess Xenia gave to Alfonzo. And I know that Alfonzo also like you in return.



All I want to say is that when you're tired, lonely and depressed from the things that comes your way… don't forget to smile and remember that someone watches over you. Like Alfonzo… and me and all the other bears that you have... We're not going anywhere… don't ever forget that, ok?



So that's it! I really hope you enjoyed my company, because I really enjoyed yours…



Your friend,

Li Xiao Lang





She then gripped Alfonzo and run towards the lounge. Tears almost well up in her eyes after she read the letter. She really doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Yet, she's thankful for it. Feeling her heart pounding in her chest, she couldn't help but get excited. "Syao—ran." Stopping in her tracks as the cute scene unfolded in her very eyes.





A sleeping wolf surrounded by bears.





"Well I guess, I couldn't say those words after all." Kissing the young man's cheek while seizing the remote control from Syaoran's hand, "I really had a wonderful weekend with you, ariga—"





"—I love you... You love me... We are best-friends as can-be. With a great big-hug and a kiss from me to-you... Wont you say you love me—
CLICK!"
