Chapter 2 finally up, eh? How'd you like the first one? Yes, it's been one day since I posted this, and already I've got the second chapter. But, like I said in the first one, I've already written a lot; it's just a matter of how much do I want to type up? Did I end the first chapter for you guys well, or at a good place? I'm hoping I did… Also hope you enjoy this one

For my three reviewers, thank you very much :D


Tomoyo politely accepted his silence, and began noticing the conflicting closeness that was beginning between Li and Kinomoto. 'How cute!'

When they arrived, Li Syaoran was the first one out, then helped the young women out to be polite. First, the ever-dainty-Tomoyo, then Sakura. When Li took Sakura's hand, they both blushed, Syaoran firmly grasping her hand. He began pulling her out—but Sakura tripped on the bottom of the door, landing straight into his arms, knocking them both over. Li found his arms around her with her head on his chest and her dress almost showing off her panties. He blushed and looked away as she got up, only to fall on her rear as soon as she was off of him. At that, he was up and walking towards the building.

"What a jerk!" The maple-haired woman said, flushed and pulling down her dress. 'He was handsome though…and soft…and smelled so nice.' Tomoyo only giggled, thinking his treatment was only fair.

When they reached the receptionist's desk in the building, Tomoyo informed the woman there of her appointment.

"You must be Miss Daidouji Tomoyo. It's the 5th floor, 2nd office on the left," she said, smiling at the two.

Tomoyo and Sakura bowed, and made their way to the elevator. After getting out, they headed a little down the hallway, noticing how far apart all the offices were.

When they reached Meiling's office, they noticed the door was cracked open, the voices of a male and female could be heard.

"I won't do it just for your sake! I have feelings, you know?"

"Meiling…you always wanted it. Now is your chance. And…I have to! If I don't marry before Mother decides to hand over the company, I can't become the head of the Li Corporation!"

Sakura gasped, unable to understand the feeling she was getting. Tomoyo simply acted as if she had heard nothing and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" the female voice called.

Tomoyo walked in first, followed by Sakura. Syaoran looked at Tomoyo and finally at Sakura, unable to take his eyes off of her. 'If only…but…I don't know her…' Meiling smiled and they each bowed to one another.

"Miss Daidouji, hello," Meiling said to Sakura, who then shook her head.

"I'm Kinomoto. Kinomoto Sakura. This is Miss Daidouji," she said, pointing to Tomoyo.

"Do forgive me! Oh yes, this is my cousin, Li Syaoran."

"We've…met," Sakura stated, while glaring at Syaoran who smiled curtly. He was a debonair.

"Yes, we have. And you are very, very beautiful, if you don't mind my saying so," he leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, "very soft, too." Then he took her hand, kissed it and smiled that cocky smile again, making Sakura blush profusely.

Meiling glared at him while clearing her throat. "Well, Tomoyo, do you mind me calling you that? I'd like to show you some of my designs, for your professional opinion."

"I'd love to see them, Miss Li. I had heard so much about you and your work. I'm glad to finally meet you!" Tomoyo beamed and the two began chatting about fashion and all their successes—and instant bond.

As they chatted, Sakura became extremely bored and uncomfortable, excused herself and walked out of the office. She knew that soon, she and Tomoyo might be out to dinner with this famous designer. She noticed a balcony at the end of the hall and decided to try getting some "fresh" air. As she went outside, a hand caught hers and a body went out the door with her.

"What the," fingers to her lips stopped her.

"Shh… You look as though you aren't having any fun. Why did you come with your friend if you weren't going to have fun? You're much too beautiful for a frown…"

She reached her free hand up to slap him but he caught it, bringing both of her arms behind her back and holding them. He brought his head down to whisper in her ear. "Little cherry, you should be flattered. Now, will you let me give you a good time?"

"You…Playboy! I won't fall for your flattery…" She looked down, her heart pounding and her face turning red.

He released her. "Well, I have the whole weekend off. I'll give you something to think about, Kinomoto," he told her, kissing her cheek and slipping a business card into the top of her dress. He then turned and left, a smug smile on his face. 'A bit quick to move, today, but it will be worth it. I know I've got her…Kinomoto Sakura.'


okay, time for your reviews and constructive criticism, okay?!?!?! I don't like flames, I've never had one (In total I've only had about 10 reviews anyway) but I don't want any. Not saying you can't give me any, just hoping I won't get any. I'm sorry if there's any Out Of Character-ness… I was trying to keep them in character I swear ;-;

gah! Should I write in more for the next chapter? Yes, no? PLEASE R & R!! thanks so much!
