Chapter 4

Sakura was sitting idly in homeroom, waiting for the teacher to call roll. Tomoyo leaned over to her ear and whispered, "We're supposed to be getting a new student today."

Sakura eyed Tomoyo tiredly, "No offense Tomoyo, but as long as they don't bother me I could care less."

Tomoyo nodded in understanding. Sakura had told her about what had happened last night. Apparently she still had a nasty headache. Although, the fact that a vampire had gotten the best of her probably hurt worse than the headache.

Suddenly the classroom door opened. And there stood a boy about their age, with a cold hard glare. And to Sakura's dread she realized it was the same guy she had run into yesterday. 'Can things get any worse?' she asked no one in particular in her mind.

Sensei looked Syaoran up and down, "You must be Li-san, the new student yes?"

Syaoran simply nodded.

"Well then, perhaps you would like to introduce yourself to the class Li-san."

The cold hard glare still on his face he simply replied, "No I wouldn't."

Sensei appeared startled, then shrug his shoulders, "Well class this is Li Syaoran. An exchange student from Hong Kong." He turned back to Syaoran, "Li-san you can sit behind…Ayamami-san, Ayamami-san would you please raise your hand?"

'I guess they can.' Sakura thought to herself, as she raised her hand. Her brother had decided to take on their mother's name in public, so as not to attract any unwanted attention.

Amber met emerald. Syaoran kept the penetrating gaze until he had to break it off in order to sit behind her. Normally, Sakura would have introduced herself more properly, but not today. She didn't want anything to do with anyone.

Syaoran was confused. The gaze he had just used would have hypnotized anyone, especially girls. But this one seemed unfazed by it. 'Oh well,' he thought to himself. 'I can try again after school.'

Sakura could feel Li's gaze boring into the back of her head all through class. When the bell finally rang, she high-tailed it out of there, grateful for the break.

When school was over, she said her goodbyes to her friends and began walking home. She felt someone's gaze burning through the back of her head. She turned around and sure enough, it was that strange guy again. Li-san. She rolled her eyes, turned around and began her walk home again, hoping that this was just his route home.

She heard his stride quicken. She remained calm, and put on her "hunter face" she kept the same pace, hoping he would just pass her. But unfortunately for her, he didn't. Once he had caught up with her, he slowed down to walk right beside her.

Sakura had had enough, she turned to face him, "What do you want Li?"

Syaoran's eyes widened. He held out her math book, "You left this in class. I was just returning it to you." Of course she hadn't left it, he had pilfered it from her desk when she went to the bathroom.

Sakura's eyes softened, "Oh, uh, well thank you Li-san, I'm sorry for snapping, its just been a long week."

Syaoran nodded in understanding, "Please call me Syaoran." 'Why did I just say that?' he thought to himself.

She nodded, "in that case you can call me Sakura."

"Sakura," he tried the name on his tongue as if considering it for his own.

After a few moments of an awkward silence Sakura spoke up, "I hope you didn't walk out of your way just to return this book to me." She asked.

He smiled warmly, "No not at all, I live a few blocks from here."

'Phew.' Sakura thought in her mind, quite relieved, 'At least he's not a stalker.'

"Where do you live?" Syaoran's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Oh right over there." She pointed to the little house on the corner of the next street.

Syaoran turned back to her, "Well in that case do you mind if I walk you home?"

Sakura smiled, "Not at all." In her mind she chastised herself, 'What are you thinking? In the life you're leading now, you can't afford any distractions, idiot!'

They walked in silence until they reached her house. "Well it was nice meeting you Syaoran-san. Thanks for walking me –"

She was cut off when her brother stepped through the door an angry look firmly planted on his face. Sakura winced preparing for the assault. "SAKURA! What do you think you're doing!"

"you better run." Sakura whispered to Syaoran, who merely narrowed his eyes in confusion.

Touya came stomping over cutting through the freshly mown lawn. He stopped a few inches away from Syaoran and said intimidatingly, "What are you doing here?"

Unfazed, Syaoran simply replied, "I was walking Sakura home."

Touya whipped around to face Sakura, who was pulling on his arm. "Touya! Would you quit it! I just met him today! There is nothing going on!"

Touya's eyes narrowed as he glared at Syaoran. 'There's something not right about this kid. And wasn't the fact that his little kaijuu was hanging out with him.'

He grabbed Sakura's arm, "Come on let's go inside, I need to talk with you."

Sakura gave an apologetic look to Syaoran who simply stood there a little taken aback. He hadn't been expecting that. He watched the retreating figures. Still looking longingly at Sakura. His gaze traveled up and down her body, and remembering the color and determination in her eyes. 'She's so beautiful.' He thought unconsciously. "Whoa where had that come from?" she was just some girl, why had he been thinking that?

'No she isn't.' his mind argued.

'Of course she is, she's only a human.' He argued back.

'But she's different, you can sense it. The way she reacted to you at first, her anger. You liked it. Admit it.'

'No like I said she's just another girl.'

'Right. And you're just another vampire.'

Syaoran growled impatiently. 'I don't have time for this.'

But in his mind still remained those two Emerald orbs, taunting and torturing his brain. He hurried back to the Clow mansion, where he and his clan were staying. He knew he should've been home long before now. Yue would be back any minute, and Syaoran needed to be there before he returned, unless he wanted to face punishment. Syaoran shivered inwardly. That was something he did not want to face.

Almost involuntarily, his mind wandered back 500 years ago, to the time when he had been just a normal boy. Well not exactly normal, he had been the heir to the largest estate in Great Britain. Then there was the night when Yue came, and had changed everything.

Flashback: Syaoran

Syaoran hid in the shadows, waiting for the specter to pass by. He had been raised to fear nothing. But how could anyone not be afraid of the unknown. Even though he was 19 he still feared the dark, and with good reason too. He knew what dangers lurked there. He had managed to avoid them, but he knew this time it was inevitable.

Determined to do all he could do to save his family, he picked up his sword, and went looking for his father. He descended the stairs quietly, so as not to betray his whereabouts. When he reached the foyer, he stood shocked, and rooted to the spot. His sword fell from his hands, tears stained his cheeks.

There on the floor, were his mother, father, and 4 sisters, all lying in pools of blood. He had to hold in the urge to throw up right then and there. But then a movement caught his eye. He dashed to the left to avoid capture. He looked up and saw a dark shape take form. His white hair swirling about him, and if it hadn't been for the evil Syaoran sensed, he might've mistook him for an angel.

"What did you do to my family?" Syaoran demanded, picking up the sword he had dropped.

"What had to be done." The white-haired figure stated simply, "I've been watching you for a long time Syaoran, you have a potential I have not seen for a long time."

And with that the figure descended upon him and sunk his fangs into Syaoran's throat before he could stop him.

End Flashback

After that Yue had trained him and taught him. After a few years, Syaoran's heart had turned black and cold. He cared for no one. And while many might think that Syaoran did care for Yue, they were very wrong. Syaoran didn't like Yue at all, in fact you could say that he hated him. But Syaoran respected him. Yue was his master after all.

Once again those emerald eyes popped into his head. 'I hope her brother isn't too hard on her' he thought to himself. Then as if realizing he said it he smacked his head against a brick wall. 'Dang it! What do you care if he is? All she is, is a good meal waiting to happen.' He thought about her tanned skin, how soft it would feel under his hands.

He shook himself mentally. 'Five-hundred years I've lived, and didn't care about a single soul alive. What's so special about this girl. Why is it she's so important to me?' Syaoran couldn't answer it, he simply sulked home thinking about the emerald-eyed goddess of his dreams.

a/n yes yes I know I know booooooooooring. But I had to have a filler ya know. Can't have them hating each other one minute and loving the next. That would be worse, besides Syaoran's past is very important to the plotline. So deal with it! Don't worry the next chapter will be a lot more interesting…………….I think ' and don't forget to review!
