"Alright Eriol. What next?"

"Go down the main hallway. You'll see a security guard there. I hope you know what to do to him. Then you will go into the comtesses room, kill her the way you wish before stealing the silver neck less with a jeweled lavender blossom. Escape as soon as you can. A distraction is set up just for you with Akira in command. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Syaoran spoke to Eriol, through a special ear device, on another mission to shed blood. He was wearing a different outfit tonight, just for the occasion. He wore a short-sleeved black T-shirt with leather black pants. His face covered by a mask once again showing the color of his amber eyes, only its color was silver. Black gloves on his hands as to not leave any prints behind. His chocolate hair hanging messily around the black band with the words 'Red Blooded Wolf' on them, which held it back. He had a different name rather than his original to disguise himself in case he was seen. This way he may be mistaken for a different member of the Crimson Moons.

The thief assassin had a silver necklace with a pendant attached to it that looked like an ordinary silver bird. It actually wasn't traditional at all. The wings of the bird where spread out like it were trying to fly, but with the push of a button the wings become tiny, yet deadly knives.

He also had a special invisible wire weaved around his teeth liked floss which was actually a unique assassination wire that if placed right and tied around a persons neck and pulled, it would trigger some sort of shock through the body that would silently kill them. Syaoran used it for secret missions. The young killer kept it in his mouth to keep it wet and slick so it wouldn't hurt him to touch it for the instant kill.

Syaoran smirked knowing how he wanted to do this one. Quick and easy. He crept down the hall until he saw the guard. Syaoran came up behind the man pressing a certain spot on his neck, making him fall suddenly to the ground. It didn't make a loud enough noise for anyone to hear. This was his intention anyway from the start of coarse. Doing as he was told, the sneaky teen found the room of the comtesse.

Opening the door quietly he looked around at his surroundings. It was a large room with a grand window open. The wind that passed through whirled around his messy hair. The soft moonlight shown through exposing him fully. Searching around more he found the woman asleep in bed. Sweat dropped from his cheek. Then Syaoran spotted the silver neck less with a jeweled lavender blossom exposed on a table near the window. He picked it up and let it hang loosely between his gloved fingers. It sparkled brightly in the moons light. 'Sakura would probably like something like this.' Syaoran's amber eyes softened. He quickly tucked it into his pocket.

For a few moments he had lost focus. Quickly gaining it back, the dazed guy walked over to the woman. Sliding the wire hiding in his mouth out, he cut it with his silver bird pendant that was around his neck. He slowly slipped it around the comtesses neck. Her steady breath caused him to pause. Why? He didn't know himself. 'I enjoy this. No stalling. Just kill her like you like to do Syaoran.' He told himself before pulling the string tightly. A drop of blood dripped down the wire revealing its invisible look now. The woman stopped breathing as he evilly smiled through the darkness.

Seeing the open window he climbed down it using the long curtains that dangled around. After recovering from the landing he took another look at the silver neck less with a jeweled lavender blossom. 'I think I should give this to...to...' Syaoran thought for a second. His face firm, yet soft. Then shaking his head he left.

The Li Residence…

The amber-eyed teen looked at the early news while eating his first-rate breakfast. As before the same lady reported. "And so the record of the 'Silver Blooded Killer' has been met by last nights incident. It was around 1:00am when he assassinated one of Japans top French ally comtesses. We know it was he by what we all know as his 'Silent Silver Kill' technique.
Still investigators search for the 'Silver Blooded Killer's' identity but to no advantage..."

Syaoran smirked quirking a dark eyebrow. 'I'm happy about this. That I am.' He then got up walking out the door to school.

As he walked onto the school grounds, he saw his morning light, Sakura Kinomoto. She was radiant as usual with her average animated grin talking to Eriol, Tomoyo, Akira, and Rika. Her golden hair was pulled back flowing gently through the wind. Sakura was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with cherry blossoms as a design. She wore tight fitting jeans showing off her curves as well.

"Sakura." Her name easily escaped his lips. Although it was barely a whisper Sakura heard. She turned her head away from the others to see Syaoran standing there simply dazed. She wondered why but greeted him warmly anyway.

"Hello Syaoran!"She said favorably.

"Hey Sakura. Ready for another house project?"Syaoran asked with a smirk and a gleam in his amber eyes.

"Not again!" Sakura moaned while Syaoran chuckled. "How about your house?"

"Alright, alright. We'll go to my pied-a-Terre this time." He gived. Tomoyo, Eriol, Akira, Rika, Yamazaki, and Chiharu were all clueless as to their conversation. Sakura promised to explain later as the bell sounded.

All day Syaoran continued to stare at Sakura. He just couldn't pull away from the sight of her. Sakura too had the same problem. She stole as many glances as she could without him noticing, hopefully.

Tomoyo noticed Eriol quietly watching Syaoran. He had a very serious expression on his face. She leaned over to him whispering, "Eriol, darling, what's the matter? You've been watching Syaoran like that ever since he met Sakura-Chan. You don't have to tell me right away Eriol, but I would feel better if you would tell me these things...even some personal things."

Eriol's eyes flashed for a minute hearing Tomoyo's last words echoing in his head. '...even some personal things.' Deciding how to respond the midnight haired boy answered "My dear, dear Tomoyo-chan. You are only but hallucinating. Is it possible you could be just concerned for your cousin and her new relationship with Syaoran?" Eriol took the approach of luring her away from even suspecting he was up to anything at all. 'Will it work?' The boy thought worriedly.

"Yes. I suppose your right." She looked down to her desk with a solemn face.

"Its alright Tomoyo. Syaoran will not do a thing to the girl except be her trusting friend." Eriol reassured her to his best. Tomoyo nodded and went on doing her work.

'She must never know...Sakura neither.' The sly guy thought to himself going back to his studies as well.

Outside Tomeada High School…

After school they each parted their ways. Tomoyo and Eriol were heading off to his residence to have what they call "A Learning Process", although everyone new the only "Learning Process" they would be going through was on "How many ways can two people make-out without going to far?".

Sakura and Syaoran walked to his house in a once again silence. Sakura wondered about what his home would be like. Syaoran had his hands resting behind his head trying to keep calm around the high-spirited teen.

Arriving upon Syaoran's home or should she say... condo! Her mouth dropped wide at the sight and her emerald eyes light up. The place was at least three stories high and looked like it had enough rooms to fill about a thousand people to one dorm each. It was painted a beautiful blue and white. Several people were working outside the house. Some children were with working elders as they ran around laughing.

"Syaoran?"

"Yes?" he answered steadily.

"How many people live her exactly?"

"Just me."

"YOUR NOT SERIOUS!" Sakura vociferated. She couldn't believe he was living there on his own. 'He must be so rich his family bought him his own residence.' To the unknowing girl this was the only other explanation. Syaoran stepped back nodding, his eyes expanded. Sakura blushed at her reaction and walked on to the entrance.

The maturing male adolescent was greeted by many of the house workers while leading Sakura up to his room. Opening the door Sakura was exposed to lots of green. Green of all different colors on just about everything. He had a very large room that included so many things. A noticeable study table was placed near his fancy draped window, which viewed a beautiful evening sunset scene. "Make yourself as comfortable as you desire." How was she supposed to be comfortable while being so apprehensive? Sakura sat across from Syaoran. She was nervous about this position, remembering what had almost happened between them before like this. The ever-innocent Sakura had never been so close to someone like that.
She could still feel his hot breath against hers. The feeling sent uncertainty running through her. Syaoran being so alert felt her suspense and smirked knowing why.

After they began it all became easier. "Sakura, tell me about your background. Your childhood in other words."

Sakura breathed deeply before starting. "Well, when I was real little my life seemed paradisiacal. Living with my family and all. My mother Nadeshiko Amiya was the best. She married my father when she was sixteen and he was twenty-five. They had Touya and then me. We went a lot of places and mother would always laugh at the weirdest things with such good humor. Everything was fine until I was three...and mother...mother..." Sakura's voice began to become weak and tears swelled up in her emerald eyes. Syaoran understood what had happened.

"Yeah. I know. My father died when I was three as well. I didn't know him but still...I wish sometimes I did. Even though I had my mother, it just wasn't indistinguishable...Its all right if you cry. I won't mind." The youthful guy had been through one of the same ordeals as she and handled it far more preferable. Sakura's eyes went wide and started to fill with great longing toward him.

Feeling Sakura needed comfort, Syaoran walked over to her, giving an embrace of tight endearment. Syaoran felt her gasp slightly before breaking down and letting the waterfall onto his shirt. He held her for a long time. Until she quit crying at least.

'Syaoran, Why have I never met you before? I'm in love with you. I feel it within. I feel the sensation so much that I fall short of breath. You are so kind and daring despite only knowing you for a short time. I just know that somehow were connected. I yearn and thirst for this to continue. A ceaseless, unbroken, eternal sensuality...' Sakura thought silently.

" This feeling is so knew. Love it is called. You have shown me love with your a divine elegance...that you are...If I could be with you…I would but I...I...' Syaoran to broke down solemnly embracing the, to him, celestial being.

It was now almost 10:00p.m. Freeing himself from the girls tears Syaoran raised Sakura's streaked face and smiled at her affectionately. "Sakura I-"

"No Syaoran...I want to tell you something. How I feel about you Syaoran I...I...I'm in lo-"
The lights flew off in an instant. Darkness surrounded the two. Silence engulfed everything.
No movement was made. Lightning flashed through Syaorans window exposing what looked to be huge storm.

Sakura shivered out of fright while Syaoran held her close. Footsteps were coming nearer to them. Closer and closer they came. The doorknob of Syaoran's door squeaked open. The door then flew open as lighting flashed and thunder sounded. "AH!" Sakura screamed loudly.

"Please, miss. I mean no harm." Came an elder woman's voice. A candle then lite up the room revealing one of Syaorans cleaners, she had come to inform Syaoran of some grave news. "Master Syaoran, a destructive storm has randomly come and has cut off the power. We contacted Kinomoto-sans father and enlightened him on the current situation. He asked if it would be approved of if Kinomoto-san could stay here for the night. Since the storm will end in the morning we can take her back then. Is this permitable, Master Syaoran?"

"Well, Sakura, is it with you?"

"If it is with you."

"Then it's agreed that she shall stay for the while. Lets get her a comfortable room..."

End Of Chapter...

Pending Next Chapter...

Takara Fang: Fifth chapter already? It all seems to go by so fast. Well, sorry for the cliffy, but don't you just anticipate what will happen between Sakura and Syaoran at his house? What will Eriol have to say about it? Tomoyo wonders why Eriol keeps looking at Syaoran, could it be that Eriol's afraid Syaoran's going to fall for a good girl when he's so bad or is there something more? Thank you so so so much for all the reviews! Please, share what you think about my story, the goods and the bads. It would really help to improve my writing. So thanks again!
