Takara Fang: I AM SO SORRY! Bursts into tears A THOUSAND GOMENS! I dothough have an explanation, believe it or not. About a week after I wrote the fifth chapter my Internet connection died. I had no idea what happened and did my best to reconnect it. We scheduled an appointment to get it fixed, but something always came up. I would have told you this had happened if I had a way to. Well, exactly a year later from then I was to get my Internet canceled with out my knowing. When I came home from a hard day at school I was told that my Internet was working! My jaw dropped! It dropped three times the natural when I was told that the problem was that the Internet connection cable was old and that I just needed a new one. Once again I AM SO SORRY and just to show just how sorry I am I have written three new chapters and are posting them all at once along with revising and reediting the other five chapters! I would also like to recognize all those who have reviewed this story and give a special thanks to them and their support. Also to those who have read this story

"Falling Head Over Kills"

Chapter 6- Only By Candlelight

By- Takara Fang

(Disclaimer- You know how it goes…)

Sakura sat watching the elder woman tidy a small room light only by a single candle. The woman went all around the room dusting and straitening the bed humming a tune as though she didn't have a care in the world about what was going on outside. When she was done she turned to Sakura smiling " I hope this suits you Miss Kinomoto."

"Yes its does very much thank you." Sakura beamed back at the woman.

"Alright then I will leave you now, miss." As the woman turned to leave Sakura's face darkened. The elder lady caught noticed. She thought for a moment and smiled. "Oh and Miss Kinomoto?"

Sakura looked up a bit with frightened eyes. "Master Li is down the hallway to the right if you need him and I am only a call away if you require me as well."

The petite girls face light at this, her eyes filled with joy again. "Thank you!" Sakura replied wholeheartedly. Then the woman turned and closed the door. Sakura dressed into a one of Syaorans shirts that said "I Use Silver Lining" curious as to what it meant and some of his martial arts training shorts. As she headed for bed the thunder outside her window sounded loudly while lighting cut close to the window. Sakura held her breath then ran out the door with her candle in hand. 'That woman said it was down the hallway to the left, didn't she?' The girl thought creeping toward Syaoran's room.

'That has to be it.' She came across a door reading 'Xiao Lang Room' engraved in a gold plate. 'Though wait…should I awake him? That would be rude of me! I shouldn't, but…'

As Sakura ponder this the door slowly creaked open. She jumped in surprise muffling a scream. "Sakura, what are you doing out here? Is something wrong!"

It was Syaoran wearing well…just green plaid pajama bottoms. Sakura blushed seeing his muscular physique. Stuttering Sakura replied "I…uh…nothings wrong…" She trailed off looking toward the ground.

She gasped when she felt a hand cup her face tilting up to see those fiery amber eyes which loves dearly to look into. "Sakura, then answer me this, why are you outside my door? For nothing?" He questioned. As he did this thunder sounded again and the lighting flashed throughout the windows in the hall. Sakura jumped and fell into Syaorans arms. Now it was Syaoran blushing, his teeth tight and heart racing. After regaining his composer the flushed boy pushed Sakura up to his eye level once again coming to terms on what was really wrong.

"Now I see. Your afraid of thunder and lightning, aren't you?" he asked gently. She nodded. "Well Sakura, come on in and I'll see if I can help you find a cure for this fear." Syaoran smiled warmly. When Sakura hesitated his face fell. "Its al right. I wont do anything. Promise." He held out his pinky to the girl making her grin. She took it with her pinky and went into to his room.

Sakura looked around the room remembering its shades of green everywhere. A dark silky green for the bed cover, emerald green window drapes and the carpet its own green tint, and a green tablecloth on a desk. Sakura noticed on the desk a very shiny object; unlike before. She was unable to make out what it was through the darkness.

Syaoran coaxed her to sit on his bed while he sat in a chair at his desk. Before doing this he placed a candle at his desk nightstand next to his bed near her and one on his desk.

Syaoran took notice in the candle light Sakura's elegant features. Her hair hanging loosely at her shoulders, her slender figure, and sparkling emerald eyes. Looking down while secretly clenching his fist Syaoran thought to himself. 'I must keep control. I MUST keep control. I MUST KEEP CONTORL!'

"Now what's this fear of thunder and lightning all about?" Syaoran abruptly looking up spoke calmly with a grin. His teeth unknowingly clenched.

Still looking down the green floor she replied. "I don't know. Ever since I was a young girl when I heard the unexpected sounds and flashes it scared me. I would then run to my brother's room. He expects me when this happens and talks to me comfortingly. When I fall asleep, eventually, I awake in my room and the storm is over."

Syaoran's eyes burned with sincerity looking at the young female. "And the reason you came to my room was because you are used to running to someone when you are frightened to comfort you."

"You understand?" Sakura looked up to him surprised. She met his eyes when she did this. 'Those eyes. Those entrancing amber eyes…I find it harder and harder to look into them each day with these feelings I have for him. Looking into them this time, I feel safer then I have yet.' She thought.

The young boy nodded in his reply. "Sakura, I know this may seem forward, but may I ask you a personal question. Its something I must know"

She thought questionable for a while and replied. " Yes. You've done so much for me that I cannot refuse."

"Alright then…"
