Summary: On Syaoran's birthday, he receives a persocom that can only say 'hoe'. He decides to teach it to handle business, proper language, everything to make it his perfect personal secretary…he was surprised, when in return, it teaches him about love and feelings that he had long forgotten…
-Someone Just for Me-
by Rinslet
It's not that he hated it though...it was just weird. But since he can't seem to refuse her anything (who could when she starts to show you her perfected puppy-eyes that God-knows-how she learned) he goes along with it, not taking them too seriously...what's next? A date?
And that's what he got.
"I like Syaoran a lot. Can we date too?"
Chapter VI – Temptation -
He blinked.
Did he just heard 'date'?
His mind replayed what she/it just said:
-Syaoran Li's mind-
-rewind-

Eriol flashed one of his 1000 watt smile and held a thumbs up "You're getting wild my dear Syao-chan!"
-fast FAST forward-

Sakura pulled her hands together "I like Syaoran a lot…Can we date too?"
-End of playback-
date?
DATE?
Involuntarily, he felt chills crawl up his back.
Dates meant spending monstrous sum of money on a petty supper, a random walk in the park somewhere at night which would end up in his apartment and-
He glanced back at Sakura who just titled her head.
No way. He couldn't do that to her. She was different. Heck, she was different from body to thoughts! Who knows if her mind wasn't invaded by little girl's thoughts about winged creatures or cute little magic stuff?
He coughed and straightened his back.
"Pass me those folders over there."
Her motor function should've enabled her to pass the stack of papers to him, yet Sakura remained still. Her sight glued on him.
"Sakura?"
"Why isn't Syaoran answering?"
"I, uh, forgot what you said. Did you say anything?"
"Sakura did. Syaoran didn't answer."
"Pass me those folders Sakura."
She sighed and bent to his order.
-That night, Li's apartment –
Top bare, Syaoran walked out of the bathroom.
Sakura was sitting on the balcony, looking at the stars. When she heard his footsteps, she turned and jumped on him.
He 'umph-ed' but didn't protest.
The thought of the two of them being in a…uh… uncomfortable position didn't hit him. He patted her head while returning to his thoughts.
She was acting weirder by each day. He wondered if marriage would come across her mind someday.
Sakura blinked and poked his broad shoulders, down to his abs.
He shuddered and sat up, pushing her back slightly.
"Hoe" she stubbornly crept closer to him and continued poking him, exploring almost every inch of him.
Her touch couldn't remain unnoticed; he caught her hand and held it for a moment. "Stop it, Sakura."
"Why?"
"It's uncomfortable"
"Why?"
'So this was how parents felt like when their child reached the age of curiosity' Syaoran thought grimly.
"Just don't do it" it's alluring, haunting, provoking……
"Why?" Her finger traced his jaw, ears, nose…
He didn't notice that he was almost leaning on her. Her eyes didn't change expression; not reflecting fear or rejection……only him. She only had him in her eyes.
At that moment, he stared at himself in her eyes; half naked, hair messy, advancing slowly with no control.
He knew what was to come, but did she?
Sakura just contemplated him.
He was all for it and he knew that she would if he ordered her, but it was wrong…WRONG!
Abruptly, he retreated back and stood up.
"It's late…I'm going to sleep. You do what you want." Without another word, he entered his room and slammed the door. He slid down and sighed heavily. His feelings had to be buried within this sanctuary.
Sakura, who was half on the sofa, half on the floor, locked her gaze straight ahead where Syaoran's face was once. She raised her finger but touched nothing but air.
She didn't have time to poke those lips of his.

His breathing slowed to a calm rhythm.
Their faces had been so close then; for the first time, Li Syaoran saw past her childish behavior and into the woman she was.
No, a persocom.
Yet, after being 6 months with Sakura, he noticed that she had changed a little. Although it was impossible, her hair seemed to have gotten longer and her nails too.
Did Clow invent a persocom that enabled physical changes?
Or was Sakura a human pretending to be a persocom? Impossible, she never ate nor drink.
Syaoran sighed.
A/N: yah yah, my updates needs a loooot of time. Sorry, but I just might -suspend- my fics for a while.
