Chapter 7 Secrets and Lies
"Sir!"
"It's time now. We need to do away with the soon nonexistent."
"Sir, are you sure about this? Is this really right?"
"Are you defying me?"
"No sir! It's just…" The stinging sound rung through the ears of those in the room. The man fell down motionless on the floor. He was clearly shot in the head by the supposed leader.
"Anyone else who doesn't understand my orders?" The room grew silent. No one dared to speak up. The mysterious leader turned his back to the others in the room and walked off. "Then the trash should be disposed of soon." The mysterious man retreated into the light of the doorway. He left his men standing in the darkness of the room to contemplate the orders have just given them.
.:Sakura and Syaorn:.
Sakura opens her eyes and immediately picks up the sweet scent of Syaoran. She slowly picks herself up to find herself in Syaoran's bed. There was little light since it was the middle of the night. The only light emerged from Syaoran's bathroom and his computer. She assumed the Syaoran was showering. Sakura got off the bed and walked to the computer out of curiosity. It seemed the Syaoran has been talking to Eriol.
Clow Reed says,
Is Sakura ok now?
Little Wolf says,
She's fine now. She's sleeping on my bed.
Clow Reed says,
Wat's wrong with her bed? ;-)
Little Wolf says,
Shut up. I just wanted to keep and eye on her and make sure that she's going to be ok.
Clow Reed says,
O? so you're worried about her huh? You strike me as the person that doesn't worry too much about other people's well being. I think she might have actually changed you. lol
Little Wolf says,
So what. Maybe I am a little worried. It's normal right? Anyway I'm going to go shower now.
Clow Reed says,
k cya
Sakura smiled at the fact that Syaoran was a worried about her. She smiled and quietly walked back to Syaoran's bed and sat. Moments later the bathroom door clicked and Syaoran emerged with a towel tied around his waist and he was drying his hair with the other. It took his almost a minute before he realized that Sakura was awake. He gave a quick smile and turned to put on his boxers and a t-shirt. He walked over to Sakura and sat down next to her. He slid his arm over her waist and gently pulled her closer.
"How are you feeling? Better?" Syaoran asked her gently. Sakura smiled at him.
"I'm feeling fine. You don't have to worry about me." Sakura replied thinking back to Syaoran's conversation with Eriol. The smile on her face put Syaoran more at ease.
.:Next morning:.
"Xiao Lang!" (A/N: if you guys don't know that's his name in Chinese) His mother yelled through the intercom. This startled Syaoran and Sakura. Sakura nearly jumped from Syaoran's bed. Syaoran moaned from the couch in his room and groggily got up to the intercom. He wondered what was the matter for his mother to used the intercom. It was rarely used because they could simply tell one of the servants to carry the message. Syaoran stretched his arm and put his hand on the wall for his support and pressed the little button on the intercom.
"What is it mother?"
"I assumed that Sakura is with you. I want both of you two down in the dining room as soon as possible but be fully dressed and don't be in a mess Xiao Lang" Syaoran sweat dropped. He knew what his mother was thinking since Sakura wasn't in her room last night. He made a mental note to make sure his mother knows that he and Sakura didn't do anything.
"Well I guess we need to get up and get ready." Syaoran helped Sakura up from his bed. They stayed up later than they thought. They had spent the night getting to know each other.
"I guess I should go to my room and get dressed. I'll come back here and we'll go down together." Sakura gave his a big smile and left his room.
After a few moments bother mindlessly put on fresh clothes and preceded to the stairwell. Almost mindlessly their hands intertwined with each other and began their talk of pretty much nothing. But those talks are the ones most important in a growing relationship isn't it. Before they knew it they have already reached the large dining area. The next room would lead to the family dining room, which was still quite big. Once they reached the family dining room both stopped and Sakura's eyes became wide and moments later a small gasp come from her mouth.
White Tiger Girl: So…It's been a long time…probably 2 months or so since my last update. I'm sorry this is taking so long and the chapters are still short. I've have to work this summer so it's hard to find time to just sit and write since I've become less energetic from over working and stress. But you know, I really need the money. I hope I can give you guys more chapters soon. Maybe when I'm on vacation sometime in August I have some time to write. Remember to review! (It's really amusing to see how I have 16x more hits than reviews. All feedback is welcomed. I use criticism to help me write better.)
