On with the story (It's a bit short today everyone...) Gomen minna-san… (sorry everyone…)

Reasons to never fight your conscience

Unexpectedly she was lighter than expected and she was brought right into his arms. The force was so great that they both fell onto the ice; Amber met emerald, their lips touching...

For a single moment they felt deep, indescribable warmth and a wonderful tingling sensation. From the pit of their stomach's it spread to their whole beings. Then… They realized what they were doing.

He tried to pry their fingers loose as they were entangled together. Once they had straighted up outside the icy rink Sakura turned slowly toward Syaoran and embraced him with a touch lighter than air.

Her voice seemed to be caught in her throat but she managed to squeeze out her words, her voice barely a whisper.

"Thank you Syaoran-kun." He was not sure what she was thanking him for. He twitched slightly.

"Um… I…" He scratched the back of his head trying to come up with a suitable sentence.

'Compliment her!' his conscience screamed.

"Your shoes… They're really clean!" His face paled as he noted her reaction.

"Um… Li?" The questioning look on her face gave away her answer.

"Are you feeling okay?"

'She must think I'm insane. Asylums look like a wonderful prospect right now.' He was sweating profusely. He tried desperately to think of something.

"Li? You haven't finished showing me the rest of the rooms." He blinked. Then he realized that she was trying to get a normal conversation going. He held her hand and guided her to the corridor.

"I suppose that we could visit the swimming pool next…" He pondered. Her face lit up as she heard the word 'swimming'.

"Honto ne! (Really!) I love swimming pools!" She exclaimed while waving her hands in excitement.

"I usually don't have time to swim but…" He looked at Sakura who was making puppy dog eyes.

"I guess we could today."

"Yatta! (Yay!)" Sakura felt the excitement bubbling in her chest almost ready to burst.

He tapped on a solid oak door at least twice their size. The door swung open instantly as if by command revealing a marvelous sight.

She felt as if she had stepped upon the sandy beaches of Hawaii. They had live palm trees, a pool the length of a football field, walls that were painted with the colours of the sky, beach chairs and a calm ocean breeze.

"If you're wondering about the breeze, it comes through those vents." He pointed to some metal vents on the walls above them. "Fuutie thought that the breeze would make the place seem more tropical."

"I like it. The breeze makes me feel free." She closed her eyes as she said this. Syaoran turned to her and was baffled to see the aura of a pshysic. His own aura was nearly undetectable for safety purposes, but her aura was only concealable as her emotions were. Her aura shrunk back noticeably as she opened her eyes.

"Syaoran? Can we go for a quick swim? Onegai.(please)" As if to shield himself he blocked his face with his arm.

"Onegai?" She pleaded.

He sighed. "Why not..."

Wei knocked and waited for the door to open automatically. He hustled into the room.

"Wei?" Wei 's face was creased in worry.

"Master Li it seems that master Eriol has arrived a month early and he's bringing Nakuru and Spinal Sun." Syaoran's face paled.

"Oh no."

"Not only that. Nakuru apparently fed Spinal Sun a lot of sugar so we will soon have a mini maelstrom within our compounds." Wei was looking depressed and Syaoran was sighing heavily while Sakura was utterly confused. She swiveled her head left to right just to keep up. She tugged Li's sleeve.

"Li? Who are Eriol, Nakuru and Spinal Sun?" She tilted her head in a timid fashion.

"Well… Eriol's my cousin, Nakuru is his family friend and Spinal Sun is his… Cat?" He scratched his head, he was not used to weaving lies on the spot.

'She is so going to notice Spinal's wings.'

'I blame this on you. You had to not follow my advice.'

'Advice! Compliment her! Is advice?'

'It would have worked if you had actually said a proper compliment. Let's recap. You said, You're shoes… They're really clean!'

'Stupid voice! Get out of my head!'

'Hmm… How about…'

"I don't care anymore!" He burst. Sakura and Wei staggered back at his sudden outburst.

'Good work Syaoran. Now she thinks your mental and you talk to yourself!'

'I hate you.'

'Mean's I've been doing my job.'

"It's almost time for dinner. I think that we should head down to the main house now." Wei suggested, leaving enough room for Li to compose himself.

"Sure!" Sakura grinned as Syaoran took her hand, stifling a blush.

"Let's go."
