* breathes * Thank you! In the next chapter I explain the title of this fic! And what things inspired me to write this! And the whole bus incident. * See Skylover's review*
The Cherry Blossom and the Wolf:
The Cherry Blossom, to the flower which Sakura 's name means. Sakura is as beautiful and delicate as the flower. She is known to be as cheerful just like how the flower makes people feel when it blooms in the springtime. The one thing that Sakura possesses that I don't think the flower has is her determined will.
The Wolf, represents no one else but Li. He can be as vicious and heartless as one. Brushing aside the fact that wolfs travel together in a pack, he chooses the lone wolf role. As, you can see in, this point of the story he has no connection with his family. He takes solitude over conversions and as a result doesn't open up to people. He tries to Handle everything in a business like manner and as quickly as possible. It is surprising how mature and grown up he acts when he is a young man of twenty.
Oh, and the whole bus incident: I wrote it from experience. It was the first day of school, And school had ended. So, it was after school and I was looking for my bus. I finally find it and it's already out of the parking lot and down the street! I had never taken a school bus before and I didn't know the school bus system. I was FAR from home! (The school was Palisades, and I live near Crenshaw High and that's some distance!!!!!)
O.k ^______^ , I'll think I will start the story:
Cherry Blossom and the Wolf Chapter 4: Serendipity Serendipity means good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries.
I signed as I changed into the maid uniform: It was just like the ones you
see in anime and mangas, scary.
"Ms. Kinomata, you should start on your assigned duties right away." I shivered as the voice added "Right away"
I turned around to see Syaoran Li, himself, standing behind me.I tried to get rid of the look of surprise off my face but it was too late. He had already seen it. He smirked.
"Well," I said, growing impatient. "Where do I start?" He eyed me with a frown planted on his face. "Downstairs."
I rolled my eyes and began my walk descending to the lower section of the mansion. "So much for conversion." I muttered and looked up to see if Syaoran heard me but he was already gone.

"Ms Kinomata?" I hear the butler, Eriol call.
"Please, just call me Sakura. No formalities." I reply and in return receive a grin from him.
"Alright, Sakura I just wanted to introduce myself...I mean the first time we met, I never did truly-"
Sakura held out her hand. "It's alright. Really you had to do your job." Eriol grinned once more and shook Sakura's hand.
Sakura glanced around. "Hey, you know I should really get back to cleaning...I'm not even close to being done."
"O.K....well, Sakura before you go..." Sakura looked over to Eriol but missed the faint blush on his cheeks.
"When I first dropped you home, no at that shop...`The Falling Cherry Blossom' who was the young lady who greeted you on the street?"
Sakura's eyebrows went up in thought as she leaned against the broom she held in her hands.
"Hmmm...oh! You mean Tomoyo?! That's my cousin and my best friend, she's great at making clothes. That's her shop 'The Falling Cherry Blossom'. She hasn't opened up yet, but she 's going to soon."
Sakura bent down and gathered her cleaning supplies and headed for the nearest bathroom. "Did I answer your question?" Sakura asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Eriol shook his head and smiled to himself.
As soon as Sakura was out of sight, he muttered, not to any one in particular but to himself "Tomoyo, huh? What a radiant beauty."
~
Sakura looked around and found that she had washed, rinsed, mopped, swept, dusted, vacuumed every room in the mansion...except for Syaoran's room.
"Well, I might as well see if he needs any work done in his room. He's been in there all day." Sakura thought to her self as she approached the door to his room.
Sakura took a deep breathe and then knocked a few times timidly.
'What am I so afraid for? It's just Syaoran room. That conceited jerk can't do anything to me.' Sakura thought to her self and opened the door to a crack.
Sakura quietly stepped in and closed the door behind her. ' Hey Syaoran..."
Sakura's eyes scanned the room until they fell upon the desk, which was right ext to an open window. Sakura tiptoed over to the desk to find Syaoran slumped over upon it, fast asleep. Manila folders, business cards, pens and paper cast array surrounding him.
The window was open and the curtains were dancing in the breeze above Syaoran's head. A few stray strands of his hair fell into his face.
Sakura gasped when she saw Syaoran: a pain-stricken expression found it's way upon his face. His eyebrow were vaulted up and his eyes were closely shut. Even his fists were balled up and trembling.
'So much pain. He's in so much pain.' Sakura thought. Her hand went to his face to brush back out of his face. She felt his forehead with the back of her hand, to find that he was warm.
She absentmindedly smiled as she noticed the fine features of his face relax from whatever had seized him.
A pen rolled off the edge of the desk unto the floor. Sakura bent down and picked it up.
She gathered her cleaning supplies and returned the pen to it's rightful place. She tiptoed back to Syaoran desk and gingerly placed a kiss on his forehead. Then she hurried out of the room.
"Mother?" were the words heard the stoic, unfeeling, uncaring Li Syaoran. Yet , there was no one to hear them, and if there was would anyone believe it?
.....
Serendipity , it is good luck in making unexpected and fortunate
discoveries.
What Sakura was not looking for, it has been found.
An unexpected discovery indeed, but will it prove to be fortunate?
For what she has found are seeds of what can turn into love , if only
Those seeds are nurtured and cared for, then maybe those seeds can grow....
