Chapter 5: The Spark From Before

"Ma!" Syaoron walks into his mother's study sounding proper. Forgetting his bow he walks up to her and waited for her to notice him while tapping his foot impatiently to get noticed.

Yelan looked up raising an eyebrow. Lately he's been asking for a lot of favors from her. Sighing she looked up briefly to see her son in his school uniform and smiled a little.

"What is it?" Yelan questioned sitting back to stare at her son. Obviously he didn't notice how he was fidgeting with his fingers and had forgotten to bow.

"Are you visiting Mrs. Kinomoto today?" Syaoron asked very fast before staring past his mother to the garden.

"Maybe" Yelan smiled at the troubled look her son gave her" IF I have a reason..." Yelan trailed off her sentence watching her son from under her eyes lashes fidget.

"Well, if you DO go" Syaoron said emphasizing the "do" part "Take this to Sakura as a gift"

He handed her an envelope.

Yelan raised an eyebrow curiously at her son..."money?"

"Don't look at me like that, just give it to her from me...for graduating!"

"Oh?" Yelan sighed, "Since when did you start caring again?"

"I ALWAYS did CARE!" Syaoron said raising his voice a notch.

Yelan sent a piercing gaze to him that straighten Syaoron up and smiled a bit TOO nicely.

"Oh all right, I'll stop by later" Yelan aid stiffly.

Syaoron brighten. "Thank you Niang..." he bowed stiffly

"Should have done that before..." Yelan muttered loud enough for him to hear.

He flinched...He knew he'd forgotten now.

"Ja (bye) Okaa-san!" Sakura waved as she zoomed out the door to school.

"Bye!" Nadeshiko waved at her daughter. 'Fujitaka, if only you could see her now...' Nadeshiko sighed in thought and returned to the stacks of papers she had to finish that day.

Sakura got in her car when she saw Syaoron.

Her heart quickened and she breathed. 'Stop it Sakura! Its just Syaoron! You're OVER him ne?'

But Sakura knew she lied to herself too badly. She wanted him, NEEDED him.

"STOP it!" Sakura chided herself over and over but her eyes betrayed her and kept looking.

Syaoron looked up to see Sakura's eyes on him. For some reason that seemed to please him a lot! He smiled a sexy lazy smile at her and winked lightly.

He saw the flush rush up to her check as she hardened her glare and turned away from him rudely.

He smirked; he was already starting to break the ice off her heart. This should be taken care of soon...yet what she said...it still bugged him even though she said it so many weeks ago.

"Because I loved you!" Sakura said...

Shaking his head out he noticed Sakura had started her engine and was rushing to school. He also got in and started his engine. He left as soon as he noticed she was already on the road.

"Sakura...What did you mean?" Syaoron thought as he drove a little to fast to get to school.

Syaoron sighed at the thought of Sakura still acting cold to him. 2 weeks ago he had broken the surface of her icy heart and got her to agree to a belated birthday celebration for just them...But it's have to be in December since Thanksgiving was coming up and everyone was coming back to celebrate it together.

But Syaoron was confident that Yelan would've finished visiting after school and given Sakura her new present.

Syaoron smirked satisfied, as he knew he had something good to look forward to now...

"Nadeshiko?" Yelan said softly.

Nadeshiko turned from where she sat comfortably on the sofa. She pasted a genuine smile on her face and gestured for Yelan to sit next to her.

"Hikaru...tea?" Nadeshiko said as the maid nodded and rushed out the door to get some.

"What a nice surprise!" Nadeshiko said happily to Yelan.

"Quite!" Yelan said "We haven't seen each other for a while and I thought I'd stop by and catch up..."

Nadeshiko laughed heartily at that. "Yelan dear, you are as bad at lying as Syaoron!"

Yelan smiled softly. "I tried..."

Nadeshiko nodded and gestured for Hikaru to set the tea down and leave.

"So...what is it?" Nadeshiko asked while pouring the tea.

Yelan sighed, "Syaoron suggested I visit you... and well... I thought it would be good to come and visit to chat for a while"

Nadeshiko nodded "Syaoron...he wants to get close to Sakura again right?"

Yelan nodded. "I know you and I have always dreamed of putting those two stubborn ones together to unite our friendship and families but...Syaoron had others plan so...I mustn't force him...."

"Quite understandable" Nadeshiko said "as I have said before, I thought there was something between those two, but it seems like it turned out to be deep friendship only."

Yelan "Disappointing, I so wanted Sakura as a daughter-in-law"

"And I did to..."Nadeshiko sighed and took a sip of her tea before continuing "But these kids they have their own minds and I quite understand that Syaoron wants to marry into the Fong family...Respectable family I must say... but quite stuck-up"

Yelan smiled slightly "I don't know about stuck-up but they were quite demanding about what they were willing to give their daughter in exchange for our Prestige family name"

Nadeshiko nodded "That they were!"

Yelan smiled. Nadeshiko and her loved just talking and having the time of their lives relaxing, this was a typical day she wanted to have with Nadeshiko.

"Oh!"

Nadeshiko turned to Yelan "What is it? Missed appointment? Did I keep you?"

"No!" Yelan said "no, no...it's nothing like that it's just I should give you this before I forget..." She withdrew an envelope.

Nadeshiko raised a questioning eyebrow. "What is it?"

Yelan smiled softly "It's from Syaoron to Sakura...for graduating"

Nadeshiko smiled a little sadly..."Yelan, Sakura would hate for me to interfere so...maybe I'll not give this to her, besides tell Syaoron, she doesn't need his charity"

Yelan frowned a little "but it isn't..."

"I know it isn't" Nadeshiko said cutting off Yelan "it's just that's how Sakura thinks, she's my daughter... I know her well"

Yelan nodded in understanding "But can't you try?"

"No" Nadeshiko said with a lop-sided smile "Sakura would throw a fit!"

Nadeshiko handed her the envelope back. "Have him bring it to her if he insists"

Yelan smiled and giggled a little "Boys...it takes them really a while to figure everything out."

Nadeshiko smiled a bit to "Yes, but Let then figure out their own problems, even if we know the cure"

Yelan laughed loudly and unladylike for her status "Quite right"

Without Nadeshiko's knowledge she left the envelope under the tea tray and continued to chatter like nothing had went wrong. Nadeshiko never suspecting continued to tell Yelan what had happened at business the other day.

Yelan smiled.

Sakura waved goodbye to her friends and headed to her car to go tutor Leiling.

"Bye!" She said and smiled.

She turned and saw Syaoron also headed home.

He smiled at her and she considered ignoring him but he saw the hint of smile touch her lips. Syaoron smiled, that was enough to make his day...for today of course.

"Ma!" Syaoron said walking into her study bowing quickly before looking at her.

"Yes?" Yelan said looking up to see her son fidgeting with his keys.

"You did give Mrs. Kinomoto the..."

"I did" Yelan said with a smile. She watched as he heaved a relief and smiled his boyish smile at her.

"Thank you" Syaoron said bowing again.

Yelan nodded and gave him a reproachful look. "it was hard though"

Syaoron raised a surprise look onto his face.

Yelan gestured for him to sit and she gave him the detail of the visit, leaving off the last part about him and Sakura.

Sakura shivered slightly as she raised an umbrella to cover her head. She took her book bag and shut her car door locking it. She ran to her front steps and James opened the door knowing whom it was.

"Thanks James" Sakura said as soon as he took her umbrella and jacket. She switched into her slippers and headed up to her room.

"I'm home Ma!"

Nadeshiko smiled as she stepped of her office to see Sakura coming back downstairs from putting her stuff away.

"Anything for me?" Sakura questioned going through the mail.

"Actually..." Nadeshiko said holding out an envelope. "This is for you..."

"Oh..." Sakura face brightened hoping it was from one of her friends. It was blank but had a check in there.

"Ma...where did you get this from?" Sakura asked quietly after seeing Syaoron's signature.

"Mrs. Li came to visit me today and Syaoron gave her this to give to you but...I told her I wouldn't, except I guess she forgot and left it under the tea tray and I didn't even notice it until Hikaru gave it to me."

"I don't think it was an accident..." Sakura said bitterly.

Sakura had never felt this dumb before. She'd given him a little smile today and he backstabbed her by having his mother give this to her mother to pass to her! She would never forgive his sleazy self NOW!"

Nadeshiko saw they facial expression change on constantly on her face. She could only distinguish they pain, hurt and madness in the hundred feeling it showed. What hurt Nadeshiko was the Wound that showed in her daughter's emerald eyes.

"The pools of her eyes always showed her emotion like you darling" Fujitaka smiled

"Stop it, I'm not that easy to read am I?" Nadeshiko joked

"As easy as Sakura's sad face right now" Fujitaka laughed as Nadeshiko swung at him lightly

"Our beloved Sakura, should never be hurt..."

Nadeshiko closed her eyes in memory of her late husband. There was never a single moment she didn't miss him.

'Fujitaka, look at your sweet cherry blossom now, look at how confused she is...'

"Sakura..." Nadeshiko started

"Ma! I have to go to the Li house!" Sakura said suddenly dragging on her shoes.

"Sakura, you're only in a skirt...your jacket...umbrella?" Nadeshiko protested

"I'll be right back!" Sakura said sternly and rushed out to the storm running down her driveway to the Li's.

Nadeshiko watched in horror as her daughter ran out there without any protection from the rain. "SAKURA!!!!"

The storm had gotten worse and was now blinding Sakura as she ran towards the Li house. She ignored her mother's cry as she kept going. She breathed easily as she was a superb runner.

'Li you bastard...Li you Bastard!'

The thought ran through her head again and again as she ignored the shivers she had from the rain dripping down her back and legs as she kept running.

When she reached the door she shivered badly and rang the doorbell, Patiently she waited for an answer.

Syaoron grimaced as he heard the doorbell ring and Wei didn't answer. Pissed he stood to bellow but then he remembered. He gave the servants the night off because his father was in the next town doing business; his mother was playing Mahjong with friends in the living room so she wouldn't budge for the door.

Sighing he got up and went downstairs. Heading to the front door he jerked open the door to reveal a cold, shivering Sakura.

"Sakura?" Syaoron questioned.

---------------------

Sakura stared at him.

He was dressed nicely in brown pants and a loose green sweater. His amber eyes shone with worry for her and a frown graced his lips.

"Sakura what did you think coming over like that?" Syaoron asked and gestured her inside.

Sakura backed away. She handed the envelope back to him "It's yours!" Sakura said bitterly. "How Dare YOU! XAIO-LANG LI How dare you go behind my back and do this to me?"

"Sakura..." Syaoron pleaded "I didn't go behind you're back on purpose, it's just that you wouldn't accept it..."

"Damn right I won't accept this!" Sakura said, "You had no right..." She shivered violently.

"Sakura get inside..."Syaoron said putting an warm arm on her.

"NO" Sakura said backing away, a few drops of rain touched her back but she didn't care

"Goodbye!" She turned to leave walking in the rain.

Cursing Syaoron slipped off his slippers put on his shoes, grabbed someone's umbrella, and tripped over a few shoes before running after her.

"Sakura!" Syaoron said grabbing her wrist. He twisted her cold body to his and put the umbrella over her head.

"You'll catch your death out here!"

"Who cares..." Sakura mummers and throws the umbrella on the pavement. She jerked free and kept walking holding her arms around her.

The rain poured down faster as Syaoron forgot about the umbrella and ran after her. Thunder rumbled nearby and Lighting flashed.

Sakura jumped and covered her ears.

Syaoron cursed lightly as he remembered Sakura hated thunder and lighting. He finally caught her again and hugged her cold body to his in a demanding embrace. He finally felt her cold arms reach for his neck and felt her press against his warmth.

Shivering slightly as well Syaoron leaned down to assure her she'd be okay by giving her a soft kiss on her cheek. Sakura turned to look at him and his lips connected with her cold, quivering ones.

Syaoron froze in that position for a while as he registered how good it felt to be kissing Sakura. She didn't seem to protest either as she pulled him closer and pressured her lips more firmly on his. Syaoron shrugged off caution and captured her soft lips in a demanding kiss to get her to forget about the cold.

Sakura had no idea what she was doing! All she felt was his nice warm body and a comforting rest after all that horrible thunder and lighting. Then his lips connected to her...the rest was a blur as she pushed herself to meet his lips and pull his head closer.

She'd dream of making out with Syaoron for the last few years but never had she known her first real kiss from him would be on a night such as this. Sakura sighed softly as his warm lips touched her cold neck looking for her pulse. She had wanted this for a long time...that was probably why she didn't try to stop him now...Sakura wanted to forget everything important and just...LIVE!

Syaoron groaned as he heard Sakura moan softly against his lips before he trailed smaller kisses to her neck feeling for her pulse. He wanted to know, he needed to know if her heart had quickened like his had during the past few minutes. It had, and he was satisfied...he shouldn't be doing this...he shouldn't be encouraging this...he needed to stop...but it all felt so...RIGHT. Turning away his thought he leaned her against the wet wall and picked her up. She crumbled against him and wrapped her legs around his waist. He groaned at contact with her and watched a satisfied look of pleasure past Sakura's face. He captured her rosy lips into another drugging kiss inviting her tongue to dance a forbidden dance with him.

Sakura played with his wet hair and pictured a different scene with him. She pictured rather a cold, rainy night to be a warm, hot shower with him. She wanted him so Bad she didn't want to let him go now...through her faze of passion she heard a louder voice than the thunder.

"Why is the door wide open? How wonder it's so cold! SYAORON are you OUT THERE?"

Sakura immediately snapping out of her faze pushed Syaoron lightly to let her down.

Syaoron groaned when he heard his mother's voice. He saw Sakura snapping out and without warning she bolted. She ran down his driveway and turned to her Driveway.

Syaoron sighing headed back inside the house.

"Syaoron...you were out there with?" Yelan asked

"Sakura..." Syaoron said putting the umbrella back and headed upstairs to change.

"Syaoron, you mustn't play with Sakura, you're engaged to be married soon and here you are fooling around. What would Mrs. Kinomoto think?"

"I'm sorry"

"You're not" Yelan accused

"Ma! Not now! I need a shower" Syaoron said and headed up. He was confused and all he needed was to think out everything that just happened.
