-«-Li Castle-»-
-Sakura's P.o.V.-
The sun showed brightly through the translucent drapes giving the room a soft red glow, but throught the crack, a beam of light was shown fully as the warm sun kissed myface gently. I stirred as I started to awaken, grumbling something under my breathe as I turned to the side, my body instantly meeting with the wooden floor as I fell with a soft thump. I let out a low whining sound that sounded strangely like a howl then got up as I rubbed the sore spot on my way to my bathroom where I looked at myself in the mirror, haircompletely frizzled, clothes disheveled, nothing was right. I sighed as I headed towards my bathtub to get a quickbath.
'What am I going to do now?' I started to run the water in the tub and and stepped into the steaming water as I routinely did.
'Tomoyo is gone with Eriol on another one of his travels and I don't know many other people here, well, I do know Myrah, one of the maids, and Yuu, one of the butlers... Oh! A-a-and Seijun, thats right! The best cook here... but what if they're too busy?' I started to run the water over my skin with a sigh.
'But how come Tomoyo couldn't have told me she was Eriol's personal servant? Hehe, I bet they'd look perfect if they were more, oh yeah, much more...' I thought as a mischevious smile crossed my lips. I iggled as I submerged myself underwater and stayed there for a while and just stared up through the water until I saw a distorted figure above me. My eyes widened. Someone's in the bathroom with me!
'Ok, what do I do? I jump up from the water and confront him of stay here untilthem goes away... Oh yeah, thats great,them can drag my dead naked body from the water and do whatever they to,' I shot up from the water with a gasp when I realized I was in serious need of air and looked up at the person.
"Li-oujisama! What are you doing here?" I yelled in surprise.
"Get dressed and meet me in the hall," was ll he said and left the room leaving me dumbfounded.
After awhile I walked out of my room and leaned against the door to my room with a sigh, my hair and outfir the same as it always was. My eyes looked up into Li-oujisama's and we were quiet for a while until he made another grunting sounded and threw his head in the direction of the hallway.
"Come,"
We walked in silence for a while until we were in the Li garden, but we still didn't talk, so I started to hum, just have something to do. What are we doing here, and why won't he talk to me? My humming soon turned into singing as I looked at the many flowers up close. I've found out that I have quite the singing voice as a human.
-Aishi aeba wakareyuku (If I meet my love, and we part)
-Sonna deai kurikaeshita (We'll meet again, like we did before)
-Kioku fukaku tesaguri de (The sweet darkness I find)
-Amai kage o motomete wa (Fumbling around deep in my memories)
My eyes closed as we walked and I continued to sing, unaware of the eyes gazing at my in confusion. I was wrapped up in my own melody...
-I can taste the sweetness of the past (I can taste the sweetness of the past)
-Doko ni mo anata wa inai kedo (Although you're not anywhere)
-I'll be all right (I'll be all right)
-Me o tsubureba soko ni (If I close my eyes to that)
-Kawaranai ai o (Love won't change)
-I believe (I believe)
"What are you doing?" I heard his voice say which snapped my out of my trance. I blushed as I looked down, I hope he wasn't upset.
"Well, sir, you weren't talking so I didn't think you would mind me singing, I'm sorry," I apologized.
He turned his gaze from me, "What was that song?"
"A song I wrote, sir," I replied looking down still. He nodded slowly.
"You know... I never ordered you to stop singing," he said quietly which made me blush more. He wanted to hear the rest of my song.
I closed my eyes the blush still on my face as I continued nervously.
-Haru no hikari atsumetara hana sakasete (When the spring light warms, the flowers bloom)
-Natsu wa tsuki ukabu umi de mitsumete (In summer, I gaze at the moon floating on the sea)
-Aki no kaze fuyu no yuki mo (The fall wind, and the winter snow)
-Sono toiki de atatamete hoshii (With that sigh, I wish to be warmed)
-Four seasons with your love(Four seasons with your love)
-Mou ichi dou. (Once again)
After a while I got use to his pressence and my arms started to move absently.
-Negai dake no yakusoku wa (The promise of that only wish)
-Toki ga tateba iroaseru (Fades away when time passes)
-Can you feel me underneath the skin? (Can you feel me underneath the skin?)
-Anna ni kasaneta omoi nara (If feelings again happened that way)
-We'll be alright (We'll be alright)
-Shinjite ireba sou (If I just believe)
-Donna tookute mo (No matter how far away you are)
-Stay with me (Stay with me)
-Haru no hana nemuru yoru ni mukae ni kite (The spring flowers sleep as we meet in the night)
-Natsu no sunahama ni message nokoshite (I leave a message in the sandy beaches of summer)
-Aki no ame fuyu no namida (The fall rain, the winter tears)
-Kazaranu ai de atatamete hoshii (With a show of love, I wish to be warmed)
-Four seasons with your love (Four seasons with your love)
-Yume no naka (In a dream)
I felt arms wrap around my waist as they started to move me about, but I didn't pay any mind to whose arms.
-Nagareru toki wo kokoro ni (Time flows into my heart)
-Ari no mama ni (And truthfully)
-Futari no hibi wa mou sugu omoide (Our every day is nearer to a memory)
-Ai mo yume mo wasure mono (Love and dreams may be things forgotten)
-Itsu no hi demo atatamete hoshii (One day, but, my wish is to be warmed)

-Four scene, four four seasons
-Four scene, I'll be alright…
-Four scene, four four seasons
-Four scene, stay with me…
-Four scene, four four seasons
-Four scene, I'll be alright…
-Four scene, four four seasons
-Four scene...
"Stay with me…" I finished quietly as I opened my jade eyes to meet his orcher ones. I was sitting on the edge of the fountain in the middle of the garden as Li-oujisama was leaned into me, one of his hands holding the side of my face the other holding onto the edge of the fountain for support. We were silent for a while and I watched as his brows furrowed slightly and his face turned to one of wonder.
"Who are you?" I felt him whisper against my lips which made me shiver as it always did. I felt his large thumb caress my cheek softly as he probed my face for answers.
"I am nothing more than your humble servant, Li-oujisama," I whispered in reply as my eyes closed slowly and I felt his warm lips brush gently against my own.

-Syaoran's P.o.V.-
Ahh... her voice, so beautiful, so enchanting. More innocent than the purest of souls... more hypnotic than the exotic flowers we grown. It was her. I watched her as her eyes revealed themselves to me, their shimmering green. Who are you, Sakura Kinomoto? Why do you have me up at night thinking about you? Why does your laughter... your smile, your tears haunt my dreams? Why does your voice ring in my heard every waking moment!
"Who are you?" I heard myself voice out as I absentmindedly started to stroke her cheek as my eyes searched her face for any answer that may be hidden.
I felt her shiver beneath my hand as she closed her eyes, "I am nothing more than your humble servant, Li-oujisama."
Sometimes, the way she speaks... It's just too crazy. Its as smooth and as graceful as a swan's movements, as powerfulas a dragon's call, yet, it's as gently as... as... a kiss. I stared into her face as I began my descent upon her lips and just simply hovered a few moments, feeling the streams of her warm breath touch my skin then continued my way down. It was a chaste kiss, not too big or complicated. My heart nearly stopped as I felt her respond to the kiss andI couldn't help but deepen the kissbypressing myself closer to her smaller form.
I let my tongue slither its way through my mouth and allowed it to run its way along herlower lip, requesting permission for entrance, and shegranted it. My tongue roamed around the moist cavern of which was her mouth, as if memorizing every detail it came upon.I just couldn't help it, her taste was just so intoxicating, so ambrosial... and I needed more, so I delved depper into her mouth with my tongue to get a better taste of her.
"Mnnh, L-Li-oujisama," I heard her moan into my lips. Kamisama, make her stop talking, onegai...
I heard her whimper quietly as I pulled my lips from hers slowly and started to kiss along her jawline until I came to her neck where I started to nip and suck at it with the occassional kiss.
"Sakura..." I breathed against her.
Damn her, how is she doing this to me? I growled deep within my throat as I moved myself from her neck and went to kiss her wonderful lips once again.
"Syaoran!"
Ma! Not the person I need right now!
I quickly tore away from Sakura and looked for my mother, instantly looking back at Sakura as I heard a large splash! I looked down at her form soaked from head to toe in water, her clothes and hair clinging to her for dear life showing off every curve of her form. Mei... She looked like she was on the verge of tears but I tore my gaze away from her as I heard my mothers foot steps. I looked at my mother until she came to a complete stop before me and I bowed respectfully.
"Mother..."
She raised a slender hand and tucked a few fingers under my chinand raised my gaze to look at her smiling face.
"Hmm... rise, son."
I straightened myself up and quickly glanced at Sakura who was still in the fountain then looked back at my mother.
"Son, do you remember your first meeting with Meiling from the Rei Kingdom?"
I raised a brow and nodded my head. Grrrr, Meiling... the daughter of Satan himself. Now don't get my wrong, she's a nice girl (I think...) but she just tries too hard to get me too like her. We only met once and she's all over me. I wonder why mother is bringing this up?
"A few days ago while you were out training, I found the perfect suiter for you, Meiling. I sent her a letter on the very same day and she should be arriving shortly, any moment now to be exact," she announced.
I stared at her in shock. The spawn of satanis coming today! Fu-uck! What the hell is wrong with my mother? My eyes were wide as I gazed at her almost forgetting about Sakura, I turned to her, the very same expression on her face, buta hint of confusion was mixed in as well.
"What! Mother, her!" I nearly yelled.
She narrowed her eyes at my, "I don't like your tone, son." This made me bite my tongue from any more outbursts. "And besides, your first meeting with her seemed to go perfectly, I don't know why I haven't thought of her before."
I lowered my head slightly. How could she do this to me? There was some silence for a whileuntil I heard a small sneeze from Sakura. I looked at her as she sniffed and looked up at my with misertable eyes. I smiled gently at her forgetting about my mother's pressence and offered her a hand. She smiled up at me, oh how I love her smile, and was about to take my hand until we heard and 'ahem' from our side causing us to look at my mother. She didn't look pleased.
"What are you doing?" she asked in my direction.
"I'm helping Sakura out of the fountain," I answered.
"Since when did you call her by her first name? And since when did we ever help the servants? We don't, Syaoran, we don't help the servants, the servants help us. She has legs and arms, let her get out herself," she stated coldly.
I looked at her for a while then bit my lower lip to try to hold back the words that were going to comeas I drew my hand back giving Sakura an apologetic look.
"Honestly, you are becoming just like your filthy step-brother. Helping the servants. Ha! I don't know why we just do not disown him, I swear, Clow needs to discipline his son more, or maybe I should do it for him. And he seems to be becoming more attatched to that servant of his Daidouji..." she went on as she started to walk out of the garden.
I clenched my teeth together to try to hold back the anger that was building in my. I leaned down and helped Sakura out of the water and smiled at her slightly before frowning deeply in my mother's direction. How could she talk about Eriol that way! Sure, I never like him all that much, but damn, you can't call him filthy for having a heart!
"Eep!"
I was quickly torn out of my thoughts as I gazed back at Sakura who had a pained expression on her face. I gazed down at my hand that was around her wrist and instantly let go to reveal a red mark along it. I marred her perfect skin. I looked at her to see she had a reassuring smile on her lips as if I had already apologized.
I smiled back at her thenleaned downto kiss her soft lips once again, "Come on, let's get you changed."

-Sakura's P.o.V.-
The fanfare played as the front doors opened. There stood a young woman looking the age of 21, my age, and her dead straight raven colored hair waved slightly as the wind from outside blew in gently, her scarlet eyes looking inSyaoran'sdirection happily, not even sparing me a glance. Meiling Rei has arrived.
"Princess Meiling Rei of the Rei Kingdom has arrived!" announced a man nearest to the door.
What happened next made my heart sink, everything seemingly in slow motion.
"Syaoran-kun!"
Meiling ran over to Syaoran with her arms open wide as she gaze a quick leap and threw her arms around his neck, her lips locking with his.
.
.
.
So there I stood in silence, in shock, in anger, in pain...
And he did nothing to stop her actions.
