A/n: hey!
Thanks 2 all those that reviewed again!
And yes you're bribery worked so here's the new edition to my storie!
Enjoy and review for me again please! And yes I know she didn't know but you got to remember I'm playing with two cultures here, she knows him as Syaoron his Japanese name not Xaiolang his Chinese name. Therefore she could only assume their related from their last name…hello people there's a reason why Syaoron is wanted dead so be patient with me!
LOL
Here we go…on to the storie…
Chapter 5: Madam S.
How could I describe my initial shock from when he uttered those words…Puzzles were starting to fit as Suki's dead…Someone obviously knew that I didn't know how to swim when I lived here and had to also know Xaio Rei was Syaoron and Suki's son… Assuming Madam S. is a girl and Syaoron had just mentioned his mother wasn't to happy with him marrying Suki…But it couldn't be her…why would she want to destroy her own son …But Zhou Wei could be doing it for revenge…But Yume was the one who knew Suki and I can't swim…and was the one who carried a grudge against Suki and I for spreading the rumor that she slept with the math teacher for her A, (which was true 4 you're info…)
I had to go write my thoughts and do connections…Plus I already knew in my gut, Madam S. was getting closer to me…
"Thanks Syaoron…" I said suddenly snapping out of my daze and I noticed he was studying me intently "So you like me?"
I blushed…I'd forgotten how I got him into giving me this answer I needed.
"If you want…" I said and left before anymore could be said…it'll be something he needed to figure and something I already knew to well…
"Hey!" Syaoron called after me
I halted, and then turned around…I never expected him to be right in front of me…
Then again when I didn't function right I couldn't sense anything coming at me…After all these years my trainers had been telling me of an obvious weakness that I never knew…It seemed it was love and family…
He settled his lips down upon mine and I didn't know what else to do but respond by drawing him closer and letting him evade my defenses…I melted against him immediately. I asked him after he removed his lips from mine and leaned his forehead against mine.
"Do you know anyone that would want you dead?" I asked breathing a little harder than usual to regain my normal heartbeat…
He smiled and nipped my lips a little playfully "you"
"Seriously" I said pushing him off.
"I don't know then…"
So I did the only thing I could when Xaio Rei walked into the hall to call for me and I stood there with his daddy barely dressed in anything. I walked off towards Xaio Rei and pulled him back to bed, I ignored Syaoron and I could hear him swear and pound on his study door…I ignored it…he'd get over it, like Suki's death…"
I had others things to worry about…such as my mission…and first priority is finding Madam S. and finding out why she wanted Syaoron dead…
The entire list of suspects just didn't all connect…unless the worked together to bring us down….but why did they hire me? Is it just a game I'm playing into? What really is going on?
"What were you and daddy talking about?"
I looked at he wide eye boy who stared at me.
"Are you going to leave me to sleep with daddy now?"
I blushed and held him. "No Baby…I'm not…it's just you're daddy and I have to straighten this incident of someone pushing us into the lake out…"
"Oh…" Xaio Rei quieted down and buried his head "it's okay if you like daddy more than me because mommy did to… she said he could please her…"
"Don't speak of such things anymore…I love you just as much as I love your daddy…"
I tucked Xaio Rei in and thought of his words as well…he must not have wanted to sleep alone at all! Or maybe he'd been too young when they kicked him out to his own room.
Anyways troubled I looked to the picture of Zang Zi I had in the dresser by my bed. I slowly traced her smiling face and wondered if things would ever get better and I'd get to see her…I snapped up and decided to give Headquarters a call.
After a brief call to headquarters telling them to contact Madam S. and have her call me they knew something was up…I never got close to the person that hired me unless I had good reason to…such as this mission was the utmost importance I told them. They understood quite well and after that I called my little girl…
"Zang Zi?" I questioned
"Ma?"
"HAi…"
"How are you?" her excited little voice reached me and I felt relief flood through me.
"What's taking you so long pumpkin…I missed you…"
"The House is still closing so Sadako said by then end of this week she can arrange for everything plus me to come live with you…"
"That's good…Love you and…I…"
I heard her sigh a little "Have to go?"
"Yea" I said softly back "Sorry pumpkin…but I'll make it up when you come…you knows I always do…"
"All right"
I felt kind of bad but I let it go with my frozen emotions… I needed to think…to connect who was my enemy and who was my friend…I felt like I couldn't trust anybody now…
……………………………………………………………………………………………
I must've been dead tired last night because it was 6:30 the time I crawled out of bed and woke Xaio Rei up for school. I lazily did breakfast and didn't straighten till Syaoron came in with a mumbled "good morning"
Obviously he hadn't had the best of sleep either…
I only nodded and pointed him to sit bringing his plate with Xaio Rei's first as he also zoomed in after his father.
I noticed how they both sat the same and ate the same. It brought a tired smile to my face as I sat with a thud and followed suit to their eating…only much slower…
Before I knew it Syaoron had reached over and pulled my chair closer to his letting me lean on his shoulder and eat…I was too tired to refuse so they're I was leaning on his shoulder with his arms wrapped around my waist eating tiredly.
Xaio Rei grinned from across the table and I blushed finding a little strength to remove my head from his shoulder. His arm tightened on my waist and he whispered for me to stay put.
If his shoulder didn't feel so great and I was more awake I would've retorted to him…but this morning I was just not into it.
Suddenly Xaio Rei got up and headed upstairs again. U lifted an eyebrow suspiciously and looked at Syaoron's face to see if he signaled anything…
"I forgot my stuff upstairs…" Xaio Rei said heading the rest of the way up…
I felt Syaoron become less tense and I knew he had signaled Xaio Rei to get out…You ask, "Why does Sakura know" huh?
Well it's pretty easy to figure when Xaio Rei never forgets anything and Syaoron never tenses up for no damn reason…I did the only thing I could and looked at him with a tired version of suspicion…
"Why did you signal him to leave?"
He gave me the "innocent" amber eye look but his eyebrow lifted giving him away…
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about…" I yawned slightly and felt him pull me against him. I glanced up again and was surprised to find his face inches from mine.
I did the only thing I could…Lifted an eyebrow…
"Saku…do you really like me? Or are you just saying…"
I put my eyebrow back down and smiled a little…men! Still stuck on the tiniest thing that doesn't even worry us women's…
"What do you think?"
"Saku…"
Frustrated I noticed his lips coming down on mine and reacted quickly. I grabbed the rice ball from my plate and pressed my lips to his gently to stop his speedy reaction…I watched him open his mouth with half closed eyes and I stuck the sucker into his mouth with a smirk. He wasn't to happy let's just say…
I of course…faked innocence
"What? I thought you were hungry!"
"I was! For something else" he grumpily chewed the rice ball and I got out of his grasp to clean up the dishes…
"Serves you right for trapping me…"
"Saku…this isn't the end"
"It is when I say it is," I cheerfully announced to him.
"Saku…"
"Time isn't letting me talk to you Syaoron…it's telling me wash dishes…send Xaio Rei"
I quickly started the water and heard him curse to my delight…nothing made me expect what happened next...
Syaoron put his dish into the sink and placed his hand on my hip. Immediately I was alerted but to no anvil as he gently pushed against me and hugged me softly…
"Let go!" I stated feeling violated…What else to do then to even up the score…
I finished washing and turned with a "grin" of my own towards him. Lightly draping my hand over his neck I inched him closer with a seductive smile. Pressing against his lean body I could feel his excitement and my smile widened as our lips touched …next thing he kissed was air as I slipped out professionally and grabbed my coat…
"Let's go Xaio Rei!"
"Hell No Saku…" Syaoron said from the kitchen…I decided to wait outside and watched as an aggravated Syaoron paced the front doorway with a clenched fist at me. I smiled back and waved a little seductively.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
I noticed Xaio Rei's discomfort at once when he and I neared the school ground…
"What is it?" I asked worried. When he didn't reply I stepped in front of him and squatted to his size to look at his eyes…he adverted his gaze but I skillfully caught his chin and forced his gaze on mine.
"What is it?" I repeated sternly this time.
"Nothing…it's just…"
I searched his eyes and sighed, "They're picking on you, and being a decent young man you are…you're not fighting back!"
He stared at me confusingly as if I was a psychic.
"Doesn't take a genius to figure this out Xaio Rei"
"Oh"
I smiled at tilted his head back to look at mine. "Is it Yumi leading them on about your mom again?"
He nodded and I sighed knowing that "I" was going to have another talk to Yumi's mother.
"Listen…how about I have another chat with Yumi's mom?"
"Right now?" Xaio Rei asked
I nodded "right here…right now"
Xaio Rei face brightened then dimmed…"Dad would…"
"Never know," I said with a small glint in my eyes…
"He will though…He always…"
"Look Xaio Rei…You deal with your schoolwork I got you're dad covered" I smiled.
After all a sweet word or two won't hurt him…
I should've never thought that…
"Yume Shingo…"I announced
Everyone looked at Xaio Rei and me and knew that today I meant business. I walked straight over to the girl and her mother and gave them my best "smile".
"It's such a nice day isn't it?"
"What dod you want?" she said spitefully.
"I raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. I sighed regretfully "and I was trying to be nice first…"
Yume glared at me.
I did nothing but return it with a lift of my eyebrow to a half-smile.
"I heard that Xaio Rei isn't having the best school days because of your miniature you"
Yume laughed, "I see! I didn't know boys were tattle tellers to!"
It was my turn to laugh "Actually this came from better sources…such better sources that I heard it could affect your dear husband job at Li Corp…"
I tilted my head "poor Yume…ending up in the scum she was in years ago…all over again…"
"Shut up!" Yume said her nails curling in anger "You'd better not utter a word to his father because his father believes me more…"
"More than me?" I asked calmly
"Yes!" she hissed and made a grab for my hair.
I reacted quickly dodging it and tripping her. With a thump she landed on her ass.
"Look wench! Don't mess with Xaio Rei again or you will hear from me again! I warn you as the last time Yume! Keep you and miniature you away from Xaio Rei!" I looked at the crowd "anyone else who does there dirty work for them can see Mr. Li in his office or even better a talk with me!"
Everyone backed away as the bell rang and I kissed Xaio Rei goodbye. I noticed his happier expression and knew I had done him a right today…He'd be happier when I picked him up.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
I never expected to go home to a bitch to!
This bitch? Zhou Wei…
I heard her dirty words as she accused me of putting them all in danger…
"Mrs.Li…I swear your grandson almost drowned because of her…if Syaoron hadn't been there…I understand…good…I can't wait to be home…thank you…"
I found out later what it really was that she talked about… but that will be later…first thing's first…Syaoron was still all over me about the whole Xaiolang deal…
You want to know how it ended1 I WON!
Okay…
I didn't…but it was only because of this…
"What's for dinner?" he asked
"You" I answered lightly with a smile
"And you?" he wrapped an arm around me and I slipped out as easily as he grabbed. A no look on my face as I brushed by him…
"Only you…"
"For you to eat?" he asked with a smile
"Maybe…"
"Saku…give me that straight answer I've been asking for…"
"It hasn't even been a whole day yet…"
"Giving me time to remember…" Syaoron pinned me against the dining room wall and leaned down. "Tell me Saku…"
He trailed his ahands down my body and I lost my train of thoughts…so I said…
"Why the hell not? I do like you A lot"
He was pleased by his expression and his action. His mouth clamed down on mine and I didn't refuse his hard kiss bruising me. I didn't react entirely but I didn't stop him as well…s I guess I was my fault for not…and it was my heart's fault for not denying…
"Since when?" He asked softly and caressed my hair. I couldn't help but say…
"Since I met you…"
He looked at me in shock…
"How come you never told me?"
"I did", I said and blocked that painful yet loving memory…I pushed away as my cell went off.
"Excuse me but drag Xaio Rei downstairs to eat…Zhou Wei to…"
I picked up my cell.
"Yea?"
"X isn't it?" A high pitched voice asked
I paused looking at Syaoron and put a hand up to have him hold for a few seconds…I went upstairs.
"You are madam S…am I correct?"
"Very…I'd just come to realize from your headquarters that you are hesitating to do this mission?"
"Why do you want him dead?" I asked coolly as if it was a everyday question.
A laugh was heard and then a pause "That's none of your business but I stand to gain everything from his demise…ha-ha…I'm willing to double the fortune if you get rid of him quickly…Let's say five grand?"
I clenched my fist and knew that was a lot of money I could use but…to kill the one I wanted to have ever since I was six…
"I'll let you think about this and call you back in a few days…think it over carefully…"
"I understand" I said calmly and hung up. My hand shook even as I headed downstairs and met Syaoron on the stairs. Before I knew it I was against the wall in the upstairs hallway with Syaoron's face inches from mine. His amber eyes searched mine… I avoided it but he stubbornly put his hand under my chin.
"Why did you never tell me Saku…?"
"I already told you…" I put my cold voice up looking past him stubbornly. "I told you before I left"
"Then how come I have no memory of it?" Syaoron whispered banging his fist into the wall behind me. I didn't flinch but stare at him…
"What you remember and what I remember is not the concern now…drop it Syaoron."
"Why?"
"Because I said so" I said coldly and pushed him off "it's not my fault you don't remember so don't you dare blame this on me…besides what did it matter, you were engaged to Suki anyways…all I would've did was complicate the whole situation…"
"That's why you left…is that it?" Syaoron asked softly facing my emotionless face
"Maybe…maybe not…"
"It was!" he said angrily
"Perhaps…" I squeezed pass him and went downstairs.
That night he didn't talk to me and I didn't talk to him. There was nothing to say so Xaio Rei chatted as Zhou Wei, Syaoron, and I ate in silence. I only spoke when Xaio Rei wanted feedback…I felt bad but I wasn't about to admit that! I was the one going in circles not him…
I should've known that wouldn't be the end when I washed the dishes and Zhou Wei headed upstairs with Xaio Rei. I should've expected him to be behind me and force himself on me…but somehow…I knew…I didn't care…
I let him have his way as he ravished me freely… personally I was just as greedy urging him on and kissing him back with just as much passion…nothing could be wrong…All except the fact that he could get killed by me anytime…I shouldn't let him get close…I shouldn't…
I doubt that would've stopped us from taking each other right there in the kitchen…
What stopped us was Xaio Rei coming in to ask for a goodnight kiss from his father.
I watched as Syaoron composed himself and kissed his son ruffling his hair. I took the chance and walked out with him. I could see he wasn't pleased with my movement…but I didn't care…he was the first…and only one to ever make me lose control…and he was to close already…I pushed and held him only at bay this time. I could tell as his desire written amber eyes stared at me. Next time…there was no stopping.
