Weeks went by and it was the same routine. Sayoran would wake up in the middle of the night and hear Sakura crying, he would wake her up every morning by pouring water on her, she would scream at him and chase him around the house. But as time went on Sayoran and Sakura started being friendlier to each other. As hard as that seems.
Sakura was walking by the indoor pool just thinking about how nice it was to get a break from her father. She was dressed in a short frilly black and red dress and she was wearing high-heels. Sayoran who was in the pool saw her and silently dove under the water towards where she was. He looked up and he was in the perfect position. Suddenly,
"AH!" Sakura screamed as Sayoran grabbed her leg and pulled her in.
"LI you stupid idiot I'm going to drown you." Sakura said jokingly. Sayoran and Sakura stayed in the water for hours playing games and splashing each other. Then they finally got out.
"That was fun" Sayoran said happily
"Yeah I guess" Sakura said plainly
"You guess? You were smiling like a fool." Sayoran stated
"Shh. I'm supposed to be the serious one." Sakura said cheerfully.
"Yea about that, you're not very good at it." He joked.
"Shut up" Sakura giggled
"Kinomoto I have to tell you something you no where my room is right" Sakura nodded. "Okay meet me there at midnight okay?" Sakura nodded again and then the both walked away to get dressed.
Midnight. Sakura was in her Pajamas walking to Sayoran's room.
"Li?" Sakura called into the dark room. No one answered. She walked in a little further and then heard the door close. And lock.
"Li?" Sakura called again this time you could hear the fear in her voice. She heard someone walking towards her. She reached out but no one was there.
"Li?" She called once again. This time she fell to the floor. She felt to large arms go around her. And then the lights turned on. Sayoran was holding her. "Li. Why didn't you answer me?" Sayoran looked at her his eyes looked sad, but his face looked serious.
"Li? What's wrong?" She asked
"I'm just not looking forward to the answers I'm going to get." He said truthfully
"Answers?" Sakura asked
"Yeah I'm going to ask you questions and you're going to answer them truthfully, there's not other way out of this room." Sayoran told her
"Umm... okay what's the first question?" Sakura questioned.
"Well first I have to tell you something. I read an entry in your diary. And I'm sorry for your loss." Sayoran confessed "And the question is what did you mean 'abusive people'?" Sakura was infuriated. ' he read my diary?'
"Well, my father beats me when he doesn't like what I do or wear." Sakura confessed tears forming in her eyes, "and he set me up with the guy and he beat me too. And my mother died. My best friends left town, so I was all alone, I learnt to cope with it. You don't need to feel sorry for me I don't want you too. I just want you to leave me alone." Sakura started to cry.
"Second question, how did your mother die?" Sayoran asked
"She was murdered, by my dad" Sakura answered bitterly crying uncontrollably
"And last question, what do you think of me?" Sayoran asked dreading the answer.
"I thought you were a snob, then you changed and I thought you were funny and nice and now I think that your just another one of those men who wants something from me, I hate men, rule Number 2. Never trust a man." Sakura said angrily.
"I'm sorry Sakura." He said genuinely and hugged the crying girl. Sakura didn't want his pity she simply wanted to be left alone she started doing martial arts moves on him until he was on the ground and couldn't get up.
"Rule number 10. If all else fails use martial arts and hurt him bad. I already broke 5 rules, rules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and I'm not going to break the rest, rule number 9. Learn everything about everyone around me. I did my research; you have a million girls who want you, heir to the Li Corp., Son of the most powerful woman in the world. You have all this, what do you want with me?" Sakura asked
"You were different, you did what you wanted to do not let everyone tell you what to do, you didn't fall head over heels for me as soon as you saw me, and it fascinated me." Sayoran explained. "I wanted to win your affection so I could say that I could have anyone I wanted."
"Rule number 8. Never date anyone" Sakura recited. "It's impossible to have me Rule number 5. If I guy is to persistent hurt his ego."
"You didn't go crazy and try to seduce me like every other girl." Sayoran told her
"Rule number 6. Thou shall not dress like a slut. If you must know I will tell you the rules you made me break to that you might feel a bit superior.
Rule Number 1. If a man gets too close walk away
Rule Number 2. Never become friends with a man
Rule Number 3. Never Trust anyone but yourself
Rule Number 4. Don't let a man learn anything about you and
Rule Number 7. Don't tell a man anything personal
I live by these rules so I suggest you leave me alone." Sakura said.
"I don't feel superior I feel weak, I feel selfish, I feel guilty, I feel like every other guy, but I'm not like every other guy." Sayoran said
"You have a weird way of showing it. Now this is the last time in ever going to talk to you so if you have anything to tell me tell me now." Sakura said
"I just want to tell you I'm sorry" Sayoran said truthfully. Sakura bent down to Sayoran's level and put her hand on the keys
"Not forgiven" Sakura said and unlocked the door, turned off the lights and left. Sayoran just stayed on the floor seeing as he both couldn't and didn't want to get up. He slowly fell asleep.
