Heys there peoples, so sorry for not updating in the longest time. I such a busy person, but hopefully with this little vacation I could get everything up to date. So without further ado her is the next chapter of Hero and Heroine:

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS and most likely never will.

Syaoran entered the apartment later that night and it was completely dark. He headed straight to his room and was about to turn the knob when Sakura popped into his head. He looked over at her closed door wondering whether he should go see her.

'Why would I want to see her? I have Cherry Blossom and at least I know she likes me.'

He opened his door and took one last look over to Sakura's room.

'Maybe I'll just check up on her to make sure she's ok.'

Syaoran knocked on her door but got no answer.

"She's probable asleep by now."

When Syaoran opened the door his eyes widen with shock. "She's not here!"

He ran around the room looking for her. "Where is she?" Then a thought came to him.

'Maybe she's at Donald's place.' He closed her door and went into his room. He took off his shirt and pants leaving him only in his white boxers. He lay down on his bed with his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling.

"What would she be doing over there at this time of night?" When he closed his eyes to think about it they immediately opened and now his face was red from anger.

Instantly he got out of bed and was about to open the door to leave his room but stopped. 'Why would I care who she's with? Sakura is nothing to me besides someone who helps pay the rent. Right?'

He turned around now facing his bed. Rubbing his hands in his hair. 'Then why do I care about her so much?'

Seeing no other option Syaoran stormed out of his room and was heading out the apartment. When he opened the door he saw Sakura standing there holding her key about to open the door.

"Hello." She had a sheepish smile on her face not knowing how she was going to explain this to Syaoran. Before she could get another word out Syaoran had already pulled her into the room closing the door behind her.

He leaned his forehead against the door giving Sakura his bareback.

"Syaoran?" Not knowing what else to say Sakura just stood there looking at his back. She could she his every muscle was tense. His heavy breathing didn't seem to loosen them, and at this point Sakura was thinking he might go crazy.

"Syaoran are you ok?" She touched his left shoulder making him turn to her. She was taken back by his angry expression, but what shocked her most was the look of disappointment that was mixed into it.

"Where were you?" He could see Sakura was afraid of him and knowing that just added to his anger. "Answer me, where were you?"

"I-I wa-was o-outside at T-Tomoyo's place."

Syaoran looked at how uneasy she was and knew she was lying. "Don't lie to me. I know you were over at Donald's place having a little fun."

"What are you talking about?"

Syaoran had somewhat of an insane look on his face and was trying really hard not to get mad at Sakura. "You know what? I don't care what you do, go sleep with every guy in town if you like but just answer me one thing. How could you choose him over me?"

Sakura had finally realized what Syaoran was talking about and was thinking of the best way to explain to him that she wasn't with Donald without telling him the truth.

"Syaoran I wasn't sleeping with Donald or with anyone else. Truthfully I cannot tell you where or what I was doing. I know you might not believe me but that's a risk I'm willing to take. Good night."

Her head was down as she made her way to her room. Syaoran stood there watching her until she shut the door behind her.

He went into his room shutting the door lying face down on the bed.

'How could I have thought she would do something like that? I knew all along that she wasn't at his place, but just the thought of those two together makes me want to kill him.'

He rolled over on his side so he was now facing the door.

'So if she wasn't with Donald then who was she with? Why can't she tell me? It's not like she was out saving the world or something.'

He started to laugh at himself just for having the thought of Sakura actually being a superhero. He laughed himself to sleep not thinking it was possible for Sakura to be Cherry Blossom.

The next morning Sakura woke up to the rays of the sun beaming down on her. With her eyes closed she grabbed a remote that on a table next to her bed and pressed a button. Music started to play and she got out the bed throwing the covers off of her and started to dance.

She was unaware that Syaoran had been standing by the entrance of her room watching her. He originally came in to apologize to her but decided to keep quiet and watch her.

Syaoran watched her singing and dancing with her eyes closed. He was actually happy that her eyes were closed because it gave him a chance to check her out.

She was wearing a green tank top with a low-neck line that brought attention to her chest. She had on a pair of white shorts that barely reached her mid-thigh. She finally did open her eyes when she stood in front of her mirror and tied her flowing auburn hair into a ponytail.

Sakura grabbed her toothbrush and was heading out the door but stopped as soon as she saw Syaoran standing there smiling at her.

"How long have you been here?" Sakura was desperately hoping that he didn't just see that little show she just put on.

Syaoran had a smirk on his face, "Lets just say that I found it amazing how you can dance around this whole room with your eyes closed and not hurt yourself."

Sakura's face went beet red. She put her head down and headed for the door. Syaoran was so amused with her he almost forgot why he was there.

"Sakura, I'm sorry for yelling at you last night. I was just worried about where you were. And for what it's worth, I believe you were telling me the truth about last night."

She put a smile on her face as she gave him a huge. "Thank you for caring."

Syaoran wasn't expecting that reaction but he was happy about it. Sakura left the room and Syaoran stood there thinking about how close there just were. He was in such a daze that he didn't notice Sakura had come back.

"Syaoran?"

Her voice knocked him out of his little daydream. "Y-yeah?"

"Just to let you know, I don't like Donald. I'm just going out with him because for some reason I feel really sorry for him. And I never did pick him over you. He was just the first to let me get close to him." Then she went to brush her teeth.

Syaoran had a grin on his face. 'All this time I was worried, and she doesn't even like him. So does this mean if I was more friendly we would be dating right now?'

Later that day Sakura went on a job interview. She wore a white business suit with a button up yellow shirt underneath. She walked into the tall building and was amazed at all the artwork that was displayed. After she told the secretary that she was there she walked around admiring the art.

"This is lovely."

"Thank you, that one took me some time to finish."

Sakura turned around to come face to face with a tall woman with long black hair. She was wearing a black skirt and a red blouse with a v-neckline.

"Did you do this? It's amazing." Sakura could barely get her eyes off the painting.

"Yes, it took me a long time especially with my busy schedule." Then the lady took a close look at the young woman standing in front of her. She had auburn hair and a pretty good figure.

"Would you happen to be Sakura Kinomoto?"

"Yes, how do you…"

"I'm Anna Gomez. Nice to meet you." They shook hands and Anna led Sakura to her office.

Sakura sat in one of the two chairs that were in front of a large cherry wood desk. Sakura looked around the office; it had an old fashion feel to it yet most of the objects were modern.

"Miss. Kinomoto it's nice to finally meet you. I've heard nothing but good news about you."

Sakura started to blush, "Thank you, I've also been looking forward to working with you."

Anna had a small pile of papers on the desk in front of her. "Ok, lets get down to business. I have a show coming up early next month, and I would like you to be in it."

"Me? Are you sure?" Sakura was shocked. She has always wanted to work for Mrs. Gomez but never thought she would get the chance.

"Hear me out for a second." Anna got up and walked around her desk to where Sakura was sitting. "I want you to be the main attraction for this show. Consider this an audition for a job."

"Audition?"

"Yes, depending on how well you do, I might consider hiring you full time."

"Really? Are you serious? That would be great."

Then a knock was heard at the door before Anna's secretary came in.

"Mrs. Gomez your next client has arrived."

"Thank you Cynthia." Then Anna turned her attention back to Sakura. "I'm sorry to have to end this so soon, but I have another appointment to get to."

Sakura got up, "Sure no problem." Sakura followed the secretary out of the office and into the lobby. When she exited the building the first thing she did was pull out her cell phone and call Tomoyo.

"Hello?"

"Tomoyo, you won't believe what just happened to me."

"So soon? Well, I guess time doesn't matter once love enters the picture."

Sakura was really confused, more than usual. "Tomoyo what are you talking about?"

"You and Syaoran finally got together, isn't that why you called me?"

Shock was the only feeling that went through her body. "Tomoyo what would give you a crazy idea like that?"

"Sakura, I'm not stupid. It's clear that there is something going on between you two."

"There is absolutely nothing going on between Syaoran and I. We are just friends and that's it."

"But deep down don't you want to be more than friends?"

Sakura signed, "Yeah."

"What did you just say?"

Sakura started to think of a clever way to get out of this conversation but nothing came to mind. "Nothing, I didn't say anything."

Tomoyo had a huge grin on the other end. "Right, sure you didn't. Anyway why did you call me?"

"I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be in Mrs. Gomez's next show."

"Really? I'm so happy for you. Maybe I should try and be a designer for her company, this way we can work together again."

"Ok, I'll call you later to tell you more. See ya."

"Bye Sakura."

Then Sakura hung up her phone and waved down a cab.

Meanwhile Syaoran was on the phone at his office when his secretary knocked on his door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Li, Maria is about to go to lunch."

"Ok, I'll be out in a minute." Then Syaoran brought his attention back to the person on the phone.

"Eriol I have to go, there's going to be a little birthday party for one of the employees."

"I'll let you go, but don't eat too much cake."

"Eriol, I'm a grown man. I can eat as much cake as I want, bye." Then he hung up the phone and went down to the cafeteria. When he got there everyone had already begun singing happy birthday so he took his spot in the crowd and sang along.

When the song was over everyone clapped and Maria started to cut a huge cake. Syaoran had just finished talking to one of the employees when his secretary Susan walked up to him.

"Mr. Li, you have a smile on your face."

Syaoran looked at his secretary happy expression. She was in her mid forties and had her blonde hair up in a bun. She was wearing a dark green blazer and matching skirt with a white shirt tucked in.

"Well, there's a first time for everything."

"This also the first time I've heard you sing."

Syaoran started to blush. "Well, I guess change can be a good thing."

Susan noticed his red face. "Why are you blushing? Are you thinking about a girl?"

"N-no, of course not. I'm a busy businessman, I don't have time to be dating women that are only after my money."

Susan put a little smirk on her face. "I know when I first met my husband, I couldn't stop smiling no matter where I went."

Syaoran put his hands up in defense. "Hold on, wait a second. I don't plan to marry her. We've never even been on a date yet."

"So there is a girl involved."

Syaoran was speechless; he didn't mean to let out that much information.

"You don't have to say anymore, but I'm warning you, don't let this girl slip away. It's not everyday you can find someone that can make you happy." Then Susan walked away leaving Syaoran in a daze.

'I know I can't let her slip away. The only problem is I have to find out which girl makes me feel this way.'

"Sakura or Cherry Blossom."

"You know they mean the same thing."

Syaoran was knocked out of his thoughts. He saw Maria standing in front of him holding a piece of cake.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you."

Maria had a smile on her face. "I said that Sakura means Cherry Blossom. It's a very lovely name." Then she handed him the plate with the piece of cake and a fork and walked away.

Syaoran took a bite of the cake while he was thinking.

'Sakura means Cherry Blossom. I wonder if that's just a coincidence.' Then he started to smile again. 'It has to be, there is no way Sakura is Cherry Blossom. Is there?'


Ok peoples this is where I have to leave you. I'm sorry about the long updates but I am seriously way to busy. I don't even get to spend time with my family anymore. But I'm going to see what I can do about updating these stories. But for now I hope this would do. See ya!
