Chapter 40

Sakura's POV

"You guys look so cute together!" Tomoyo's voice came from behind Syaoron and I.

I don't know how she thought we were cute together when all we did was sit in our separate chairs and talk. Our hands weren't near each others' and neither were our feet.

"Syaoron, is there something your not telling me?" Eriol joined Tomoyo.

"Eriol, you and Tomoyo look cute together too. Where have you two been for the past hour and a half?" I countered back.

"Yeah Eriol, is there something you want to tell me that you're not telling me?" Syaoron gave a satisfying smile and a crock of his eyebrow. Something new was to be discover about him everyday.

"OH!(gasp) YOU GUYS ARE DATING!" Eriol covered his mouth and pointed from me to Syaoron and from Syaoron back to me again.

"Are we?" I asked.

Eriol stopped what he was doing and stood still. It was quite long actually. I think he was thinking. What was he thinking about?

"Wait..." Eriol finally spoke. "So you guys are not dating?"

"Eriol, come on let's go." Tomoyo started dragging Eriol by the arm.

Eriol started protesting. "No, wait, I haven't gotten the answer yet! I'm confused!"

Eriol, was he really that dense?

Syaoron and I both looked at each other while giggling to ourselves.

"Eriol came be kind of um...stupid...no...that's too mean and rough...he can be so dense...yeap, dense sometimes." Syaoron probably read my mind again.

"I was thinking the same thing too." I took a sip of my punch afterwards. I looked around the room and spotted someone who looked very familiar. Too familiar. She was walking right towards us.

"Yuki..." I said as she step up close enough to me and Syaoron. At the sound of her name Syaoron looked around also.

"Sorry to interrupt your specially moment here, but can I have a word with Syaoron?" Yuki asked getting right down to the point. I haven't seen her all day at all until today. Did she just happen to get here late?

"Yuki, we had our talk already. I don't want to go down that road again." Syaoron answered. It was oblivious in Syaoron's eyes that he didn't want to talk to Yuki or see her.

"Syaoron, it's not about us. It's something else." Yuki said. So if it wasn't about them then what was it about?

"What ever it is, it can wait." Syaoron spoke.

"Syaoron, go, I know that it's as important as it sounds." Before Yuki tried to convinced Syaoron any farther, I spoke instead. Maybe it was really important. Urgent enough for her to keep asking Syaoron to have a talk with her.

Syaoron looked at me and took and sigh. "All right. Talk."

"Alone." Yuki started walking away.

Syaoron turned to look at me and I turned to look at him after seeing Yuki's retrieving back.

"I'll be back." Syaoron said.

"And I'll have to wait." I teased.

Syaoron quickly grabbed my right hand and before I could pull it away he planted a kiss on my the back part of my hand.

Syaoron quickly got out of his chair and followed Yuki's lead.

I laughed to my self quietly and couldn't believe Syaoron had that part of him inside.

The first time I've met Syaoron, I didn't even think he could be this kind of person. To see that he has change so much was quite a big shocker. But I liked the kind Syaoron than the mean Syaoron. Now all he need to do was not be as cold as he was to me before to other people, but I don't see that ever happening.

"So, where's Syaoron?" I looked up to see Ken smiling down at me. Although Syaoron and Ken looked alike, Ken's smile different from Syaoron's. Everytime Syaoron smiled it seemed like he was grinning or smirking and Ken's smile right now was actually what you would call a smile. His teeth weren't showing or anything, but his smile was quite brighter, not that Syaoron's smile doesn't bright up our moments.

"Oh, he went somewhere." I said as I was getting ready to get up also. After finding out that Ken bothered Syaoron, it seemed to me even though Syaoron didn't say anything, I knew it was best for me to stay away from this guy named Ken Li.

----------- --------------------

Syaoron's POV

I followed Yuki to somewhere more private in the building.

Finally she stopped walking and turned towards me.

"What is it?" I stopped where I was, a good three feet away from her.

"Why so far away?" Yuki asked instead of getting to the point.

"What is it that you have to talk about?"

------ -------

Sakura's POV

I answered Ken and stood up successfully.

"Seems like you're in a rush."

"Yeah, to get away from you." I made it seem like a joke, but at the same time it was the truth.

"Can we talk?"

"Sorry. I really have to get somewhere."

------------- ---------------

Syaoron's POV

"Did you know Sakura have a brother?"

"What?" Sakura had a brother all this time? She didn't even mention anything about a brother. I didn't see any pictures that she have of another man.

"That's not all." Yuki continued. "He..."

---------- -----------------

Sakura's POV

"Wait!" Ken came to my side and grabbed onto my left arm with his right hand.

"Let go!" I tried to shake my arm free from his grip, but it really wasn't any use.

"I just need to talk to you about something."

------- ---------

Syaoron's POV

"He owns one of the biggest car design in Japan. Have you ever heard of Enterprise Creation?"

That name...I know what it was. It was one of the best car designer company, even more successful than ours. He was basically one of the most respected company, even my dad respected that company.

After I didn't answer Yuki she went on.

"He's..."

----------- --------------

Sakura's POV

"No, I don't have the time." I said trying to get his hold on my off my arm with my right arm. I was getting quite anger now that he wouldn't let go of me.

We were making quite a scene. Even if the music still played in the back ground, a lot of people were gasping and pointing at us. No doubt were they trying to make up their own stories about what happened between us. But there was nothing going on between us, nothing!

"Let go of her." That voice didn't belong to Syaoron's. Actually it sounded quite familiar. Very familiar.

My eyes getting watery from frustration I looked up to see who that voice belonged to.

---------------- -------------------

"He's here. Tonight." Why was Yuki telling me this. So what if he came to one of my dad's annual ball, I was sure he came here often. "And he's here to take Sakura back with him."

"What!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "What the hell do you mean he's here to take Sakura back?"

"He didn't hear about his parent's death and still thought Sakura was in safe hands. He just found out not a week ago."

"I've gotta go." I turned around quickly and sprinted back to Sakura's and mine table. If I was too late and he found Sakura first, Sakura might of have left without me seeing it first. I had to prevent that.

----------- ---------------------------

Sakura's POV

"TOUYA!" My eyes watered even more at the sight of my older brother. It was really Touya. He was really there!

"I said, let go of her arm." Ken didn't see to know that Touya was my brother. Ken made no sign of letting go of my arm. "Fine, you want to play it the hard way?"

Before I could blink Touya had already came up to Ken and punched him somewhere. I didn't see because I had my eyes closed tightly. I didn't want to see one of my brother's fight again and it had to involve with me again. Every fight he had, had to deal with me. I was so tired of that.

I felt the grip on my left arm being taken off and this time someone pulled onto my right arm.

I opened my eyes and it was Syaoron. He pulled me to the front of him. I was now facing him. Chest to chest and eye to eye. Had he heard that what Ken was doing?

Syaoron took his eyes off of me and looked at he fight that was still going on behind me.

I turned around to look also.

Ken was getting a pretty bad beating. There was blood coming from his head and nose. Even his mouth. All these years Touya still did pretty bad damages. Nothing had really change about him.

Ken was on the floor while Touya grabbed onto his suit and continued punching his face.

I really couldn't take it any more and just like always, I was the one who had to break up the fight.

I quickly walked over to Touya's and Ken right side. Touya was still going at it. I slowly took my hands and grabbed onto Touya's right arm. I felt his muscle tensed up in my hands and he stopped.

"Touya, just stop it." I spoke through my wet face. I had been crying and I didn't even know that until I had finally stop Touya. My mind was so focus on Touya that I forgot everything.

I released my hands from his arm and he slowly stood up.

Ken who hadn't excepted his beatings roughing wiped his blood on his mouth with his right hand and glared at Touya.

Touya turned and looked at me and before I knew it Touya pulled me in for a tight hug. "How you doing Sakura?" He asked in a soft voice. The voice he always used when someone had picked on me or hurt me.

I didn't answer him. I continued to cry even harder this time. I couldn't believe it was Touya. It's been what, 10 years since I've last saw him? Right after high school and at a young age he had went out of states to go to school and I hadn't heard from him since. I didn't even know he was here in Japan.

After a couple of seconds we pulled apart. I was still crying. Tears of happiness and tears of anger, still fully not recover for what Ken had caused. What was up with him? He acted cool and before I knew it he was being disrespectful.

My eyes quickly scanned the room for Syaoron, but he had disappear. Where was he? He was just there a moment ago.

I looked behind me, but he wasn't behind me either. Had he walked off? Right when I needed him the most?

"Sakura, I'm here to take you back."

What? Did I hear him correctly?
