Here I am again. I know it must be hard living without your favorite writer updating but life must go on. Just kidding, anyway I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed and everyone who has stayed with this story from the beginning. I know that in the beginning this wasn't the best story, and lacked a lot of talent, but I'm happy that you guys gave it a chance. I'm going to stop typing and start the story.
Hero and Heroine:
Chapter Twenty
Sakura and Touya were sitting down in a little café on the other side of town. They went almost everywhere possible and were finally taking a break.
"So Touya, what brings you back here?"
Touya was sitting with his left leg crossed over his right. He took a sip of tea then looked at his little sister sitting across from him.
"Sakura, you know you've grown up a lot since the last time I've seen you. Something is different." He took a closer look at her. "You don't have a boyfriend do you?"
Her eyes widen as she turned a light shade of red. "W-what would make you think that?" She plastered on a fake smile and forced a giggle.
He kept his eyes on her to see her reaction, which gave him the answer he wasn't looking for.
"That brat that lives with you wouldn't happen to be the guy, would he?"
Sakura tried her best to avoid eye contact. She never could lie to her brother. All her life he has always known the truth, no matter how hard she tried.
"Well, I wouldn't exactly call him a boyfriend yet."
He looked at her skeptically, "Have you been on a date yet?"
"Um…I wouldn't really call it a date. It's more like a get together." Sakura could see her brother was thinking.
"He's way too protective of you after not even one date." He took another sip of his tea then continued, "Have you kissed him yet?"
"Touya, what kind of question is this?"
"It's a question that needs an answer."
She rolled her eyes then took a deep breath before answering. "Yes."
He nodded his head showing he understood. "Has he touched you?"
"TOUYA, that's a personal question and I refuse to answer it."
"Ok, over or under the shirt."
"Touya, I already said I'm not answering that question."
"I'm not asking that question. I already know the answer to that. I want to know if it was over or under the shirt."
"Don't you think that we are a little too close? I know we are family but don't you think there are some things we should keep from each other?"
"Alright so it was under the shirt, that's all you had to say."
Sakura took a deep breath them rolled her eyes again. It was no use talking with her brother. He always wins every argument and always finds out what he wants to know.
"Don't give me that look, it's not like I asked you if you had sex with him or something like that." He took another sip of his tea and almost chocked when he saw her face go pale.
"Y-you slept with him!" Everyone in the café looked at the chocking man yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Touya, you're making a scene."
A young male waiter went over to them. "Are you two alright?"
Touya saw the waiter glance at Sakura and that was enough to get him angry.
"What are you doing looking at my little sister like that punk?"
"Sir, I wasn't looking at her in any way."
Then Sakura took some money out of her purse and placed it on the table before apologizing to the waiter and dragging her bother out of the place.
Meanwhile Eriol was in his apartment watching a movie with Tomoyo when he heard someone knocking at his door.
Eriol had his arm around her and ignored the knocking. Tomoyo on the other hand was waiting for him to answer the door.
"Aren't you going to go see who it is?"
"Nah, if we don't answer then they would go away."
After a second the knocking stopped.
"Eriol go get the door."
"But the person stopped knocking."
"What if it was Sakura, and she needed help. Do you want to be the reason why her dead body is going to be on the news tonight?"
Eriol rolled his eyes and went to the door. When he opened it no one was there. He looked down the hall and saw someone that looked familiar turn the corner.
"Syaoran?"
The person turned back. "Eriol, I thought you weren't there. You need to learn how to answer your door. Then without asking Syaoran past Eriol and went into the apartment and sat next to Tomoyo.
"What are you doing here?" Tomoyo looked at him a bit disgusted.
"Tomoyo I not in the mood to deal with your attitude today, so if you don't mind can I talk to Eriol alone please?"
"Anything you can say to Eriol you can say in front of me."
Syaoran looked to Eriol for help.
"Sorry but she's the girlfriend, can't argue with that."
Syaoran rolled his eyes and decided to ignore Tomoyo instead.
"Fine, stay if you want but I need to talk to Eriol."
Eriol sat on the coffee table across from the two. "What's up?"
"I need your help to keep Sakura."
Tomoyo's eyes widened, "You're with Sakura? I knew she had a thing for you."
Syaoran leaned back in the couch resting his hands on his head. "Yeah, well it doesn't matter how much she likes me since she's moving to Hong Kong."
Eriol took off his glasses and started to clean them. "How would I know how to keep her from moving away?"
"I don't know I-I'm sorry for bothering you." Syaoran got up, 'I just didn't want to lose her.'
"Syaoran wait." Eriol leaned to Tomoyo whispering into her ear.
"You have to help him."
"Why, we don't even get along."
"He loves her, and you wouldn't want to see Sakura sad when she loses him would you?"
Tomoyo went into thinking mode for a second before she called Syaoran over to sit besides her again. Syaoran went back to the couch and dropped down onto the couch.
Eriol left the room so the two of them could talk.
"First thing you need to know before you get all worried is that Sakura is NOT moving back to Hong Kong. She just moved here like three months ago and I know she wants to stay to further her career."
"Are you sure about that because I was just talking to her brother and he told me something different?"
Tomoyo then stood up and started to pace in front of him like a teacher. "Her brother would say anything to keep you away from her. Odds are she doesn't even know about the big move he's planning."
"So I can go home and act normal again?"
"Yeah, don't worry for now."
"Thank you," He got up and hugged her before running out the apartment.
Then Eriol reentered the room and put his arm around Tomoyo. "That was a sweet thing you did."
"He can't be that bad of a guy if he loves her so much right?"
Instead of answering her he leaned in kissing her on the lips.
Meanwhile Sakura was walking towards her brother holding two ice cream cones. One was vanilla and the other was chocolate.
She handed him the chocolate and sat down on the bench next to him waiting for him to speak.
"How could you sleep with a guy you don't even know?"
"What kind of girl do you think I am? Of course I know him." She was offended that her brother would think that.
"Of all guys, you pick him, a regular nobody."
Sakura got up in anger tossing her ice cream in the trash. "Syaoran is not a nobody. Sure he may come off as a mean inconsiderate jerk but once you get to know him he is so nice. He would stay with you if you're hurt and…and he would talk with you all night when you're scared and…and…"
Tears started to come to her eyes and Touya immediately dropped his cone and got up to comfort his sister.
"Touya please just be nice, I know you think I should marry some prince but I'm happy with him. Don't you want me to be happy?" She looked up at him with those watery emerald eyes that he couldn't say no to.
"Fine, I'll try my best to be nice to him, but the minute he hurts you I'm coming back to beat the shit out of him."
The two of them then began to make compromises as they became even closer than they already were. Sakura will be able to live a more free life and Touya will have more people to protect her from.
Later…Syaoran looked at his watch when he got out of his car. It was 8:13 pm and he was now getting home from the office. He would have been home sooner if he hadn't made that stop at Eriol's place.
He took the long way to his door walking by Donald's apartment stopping for a second to think about what's ahead of him. He knew something had to be done and soon. But with being a superhero, having to run a business, and getting Sakura to become his girlfriend he had a lot on his mind. So much that he went to work in his pajamas and had his secretary go out and buy him a suit so that he could go to the meetings.
He slowly made his way to the door and was about to put the key into the lock when the door swung open with a smiling Sakura on the other side. Syaoran was about to say something but never got the chance. She grabbed the front of his suit and pulled him in the apartment tossing him on the couch. Then she jumped on top of him and started to kiss him not giving him a chance to breathe.
Finally she pulled away leaving him out of breath.
"What was that for?" Syaoran looked at her wide eyed and amazed.
She was straddling him with a huge smile on her face, "I had a talk with my brother and he told me about the little argument you two had earlier."
Then she leaned down and kissed his neck while unbuttoning his shirt.
"I don't mean to interrupt you but…um…what does that little fight have to do with this?"
She stopped again and started to play with his messy hair.
"He said you were trying to be nice to him because he was my brother, and that the only reason you got mad was because he pushed you."
"So?"
"I know how rude you are towards people you don't know and I thought that was really kind of you to be so nice to him just because he is my brother, so I decided I should give you a little treat for being so considerate."
She finally unbuttoned his shirt and let her hands roam his chest as she placed butterfly kisses on his collarbone. He slid his hands under her shirt and moved them up until it reached her bra. He undid the hooks and started to pull off her bra when he had a vision.
"Syaoran. Syaoran. Syaoran!"
He was knocked out of his dazed by the sound of Sakura's voice. He looked up at her and she had a worried looked on her face.
"Syaoran what did you see?"
His eyes started to water and he grabbed Sakura's face and pulled her down into a kiss.
She pulled away sensing that something was wrong. "Syaoran tell me right now. What did you see?"
"Um…Donald I have to go save him."
"When? Should I get ready now or was it later?"
She got off of him and was heading to her room.
"Sakura you can't go."
She turned around confused. "What do you mean I can't go? I have to go."
Syaoran got off the couch, "I can't let you go."
"You can't let me go? Last time I checked you are not the boss of me. I can do what I want when I want."
"Sakura please just listen to me. Don't go."
She walked up to him until she was just inches away from his face.
"Is there something you're not telling me?"
"No, but I…I just don't want to see you get hurt."
"Why should this time be any different?"
Syaoran couldn't think of anything to tell her that would make sense so he did the only thing he could.
"I don't know, I was just trying to be extra careful, but if you want to come then you should."
He watched her leave so happily to her room. He couldn't tell her that he saw her die in his vision. Even he almost broke down in front of her.
'I finally found the girl I want to marry and now she's going to die.' Tears started to run down his cheeks as he walked to his room to change. He looked at her door one last time before he entered his room.
"I promise I won't let anything happen to you, even if that means you'd have to go on living without me. Once I know you're safe I can die a happy man."
Then he went inside his room and pulled out a phone number and dialed. He heard some ringing and then a masculine voice.
"Hello?"
"Um…this is Li Syaoran and before you hang up I need you to listen to me."
"Why should I listen to the guy that stole my sister's heart?"
"Because if you don't she might die."
So this is a longer chapter than I thought it was going to be but no worries, things will be coming to an end soon in about three to five more chapters. I already have ideas for new stories and I'm writing them down so I don't forget but I'm not going to start to make chapters for them until I finish my other two stories.
