apple: according to the American Heritage Dictionary, arrogance means "the state or quality of being arrogant; overbearing pride". I'm pretty sure that's synonym for "excessive pride", which you claim hubris to be. And using basic geometry, arrogance therefore must be the definition of hubris. Furthermore, the same dictionary states that hubris is "overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance". Therefore, I am not wrong in defining hubris as arrogance. And I also suggest that you yourself "learn ur vocabs" before accusing others.

I do not mind flames. I find them amusing most of the time. And if I find that you are right, then I will listen to what you are saying. But if you're not, then you will find yourself with a biting response like the one above. I'm not afraid to insult you, and I will not be nice. But this also does not mean I hate you. I just do not respect you anymore. And yes, I do hold a certain amount of respect for all of you.

Lady Akina: I think I'll have Eriol and Tomoyo in here, but I don't think I'm going to engage them, because I don't want to follow the dark path of the typical "I-hate-you-you-hate-me-but-we're-engaged" thing. Thanks for the idea though.

Part II

"Why are you following me!" Sakura cried out indignantly.

And Li Syaoran was indeed following right behind her, still equipped with his ever-faithful smirk. This infuriated Sakura further. Memories of her childhood, of his constant teasing, all came back and chased her in a mental battle.

What had she ever done to him? Nothing, seriously! Nothing!

"That's a secret."

Sakura gave a frustrated growl.

"Women like that in a man. Mysterious, you know? It turns them on." Syaoran had somehow caught up to her and whispered the last part in her ear.

It tickled her and she wanted to laugh, giggle even. But she was too…proud for that.

She turned her head around, "heh! Yah right."

"Aw c'mon" he cooed, "you know you like me."

"And what makes you so special?" Sakura retaliated.

"Well, for starters, I'm practically a living and walking Sex God." Syaoran smirked.

He was right. He was drop-dead gorgeous. But she wasn't about to admit that either.

"Go do something about your fucking ego!"

"Ah, but you find it hot, and that's all that matters."

He followed her into her sleek black Lincoln.

"Why are you getting into my limo!" it really wasn't a question, but more of a scream.

"Because I want to make hot love to you. I want it to be a night to remember."

He was again centimeters from her, his hot breath raining on her cheek.

This time she gave off a frustrated screech, although she knew that her cheeks were just a little redder then usual. Syaoran knew too, and his smirk widened...if that was ever humanly possible.

"Told you."

The slam of the expensive limo door seemed to give off a sense of finality.

The limo ride was uncomfortably silent, with Sakura quietly fuming. She had her face towards the window, watching the cars and skyscrapers and her own quiet reflection.

Syaoran stared at her back, equally silent. He tried to place exactly why he liked her, but couldn't come up with anything. The only thing he knew was that he had liked her for so long that that was all he knew how to do. It was simply like a habit now.

The limo stopped, and the driver got out to open the door for the two to get out.

"Wait a sec, Li Syaoran. Why are you getting out here?" Sakura eyed him suspiciously.

"I live here!" Syaoran chirped back happily.

"You what!" She exploded.

"And why not? I own this place. Well, sort of."

She did a double-take. She looked up, way way up until her necks hurt, and for the first time in her life registered the big bold letters engraved so far away.

Li Hotel, it read, the golden letters far too cheery for her taste.

She had never made the connection. She simply lived here because it was closer to her school, while her father lived in their actual family home (which she practically grew up in). He had insisted that her living arrangements were for the better. She never really gave it much thought...until now.

But it made sense, seeing how her father and the CEO of the Li company were practically best friends. She guessed that it probably relieved her father that she was living here, under the roof of a trusted one.

"Oh..my...fuck..." Sakura muttered.

"Aw, cheer up. It can't be that bad living with a Sex God!" Syaoran said, as cheery and annoying as the sign that spelled her doom.

"I'm going to live with you..." Sakura asked in disbelief.

"Well, no..." Syaoran said disappointedly, making Sakura sigh in relief.

"But never fear! We'll only be a door apart..." he trailed off and his tone immediately turned mischievous, "unless you would want me closer...like in your bed?"

"No way in fucking hell! Get away from me, you bastard!" she screamed as he advanced closer.

"Why do you have to be such a party pooper..." he gave her one last puppy dog pout and headed straight for and into his penthouse...which was, true to his word, right next door from hers. And what really made her day was that they were completely isolated, considering that there were only two penthouses on their (top) floor. Yah, that really made her day...not.

"Why...oh why..." Sakura groaned.

As if he had her muttering, he poked out his head, "hey, any girl would feel honored to live right next door to the Almighty Syaoran."

"Go to hell."

Disclamer: CCS does not belong to me.

I know. Touya doesn't exist in this story. I'm sorry...T.T But this is for the better...I mean, if Touya existed, then Sakura wouldn't be an heiress anymore, would she?

A bit OOC, no? But hey, that's all good. It adds to the humor, I say! xD

I have again upped the ratings, seeing as that I have an ever so fond and addictive attraction to cussing. It's just like second nature to me. It puts emphasis on words, I guess...? Hehe...

Anyways, thank you for the reviews. I'm actually proud of this chapter, so hopefully you are too!
