Second Encounter

'It's getting chillier,' Sakura thought as she rubbed her hands together.

Sakura stood at the door of the garden palace. The moon was the only thing that lit her way and her silver trench coat reflected the moon's light. The dead leaves started to rise as a gentle breeze whistled its eerie song.

Holding her silver gun in one hand, Sakura kicked the door open, "All right! No more Mr. Nice Guy!"

She raced across the stairs and landed right in front of Syaoran's room. She was caught by surprise to see the door left open.

"I knew you would come back," Syaoran stood, turned away from his piano and faced Sakura.

Sakura pointed her gun at him and glared, "I came to take back what is mine."

"This?" Syaoran pulled Sakura's other gun and pointed it at her.

Sakura tightened her grip, "Drop it or I'll shoot."

Syaoran walked up to Sakura and handed the gun to her.

"What's this about!" Sakura asked as she felt her sweat drop.

"You don't have to be afraid," he said in a calm voice dropping the gun on the floor, "I'm not the hunter right? I'm the hunted."

Out of fear, Sakura started shooting Syaoran. Syaoran dodged all the bullets like he was just dancing with them.

"Not bad for a girl," Syaoran teased, "but that won't work with me." He smiled as he knew that Sakura already ran out of bullets.

Trembling with anger Sakura pulled the trigger but nothing came out. 'Dammit!' she thought as she grabbed the other gun that Syaoran dropped on the floor.

When Sakura stood up, she noticed that Syaoran was unbuttoning his pajamas.

"What do you think you're doing!" Sakura stared at him.

"Well you see, as I've told you before you're not that bad of shooter," he showed the hole that was on his left sleeve. "See? Besides, it's very embarrassing for a proper guy like me to be seen in my pajamas by a beautiful girl like you," he teased as he tossed his shirt to the floor.

"Why didn't you say so that you were gonna change!" Sakura felt her blood rush to her cheeks.

"Well can't you see I'm changing?" "Now, if you'll excuse me."

Sakura felt embarrassed that she grabbed a shoe that was on the floor and threw it at Syaoran, hitting his face. Then she ran out the door and closed it. She felt her heart beating fast, 'What is this? What's wrong with me? Why can't I just shoot him straight?' she asked herself.

"That hurt, you know." She heard Syaoran's voice from the room.

"You may come in if you want," he said in a calm voice.

Sakura sighed and trying to get a hold of herself, she opened the door. There she saw Syaoran wearing his old English tux. Even though he was pale he still looked good in his suit.

"What do you think?" Syaoran said as he smiled warmly at Sakura.

'H-he's c-cute… for a v-vampire,' Sakura thought. She shook her head, 'What am I thinking, there's no time for this!'

"Now where were we?" Syaoran said looking up, "Oh yeah you were trying…"

to shoot me?" He smiled teasingly at her.

Sakura's phone rang but it seemed like she didn't hear it. She was still looking at Syaoran, dazed.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Syaoran walked closely to her, and poked her in the head.

"Wh-What?"

"Are you okay? Seems to me like this is the first time you've seen a vampire in a suit."

"H-huh?" Then Sakura realized that she was three feet away from Syaoran and she started to blush.

"Your phone?" Syaoran teased for he knew that Sakura was spacing out.

"Y-yes," Sakura turned away from Syaoran and answered it.

"I understand," then she hung up.

"We're not yet done, Your Majesty," she said to Syaoran then she turned to face him, "by the way, I like your suit. Looks good on you," she smiled and ran out of the garden palace.

Now it was Syaoran's turn to blush. For the first time, he felt something weird inside.

As Sakura raced through the streets, she couldn't stop thinking about what she just said.
