Unlikely Love

Just as Sakura was about to put the diary down, her door banged open to reveal Syaoran struggling against his sisters and cousin. She watched slightly amused at the scene. He was wearing the Aeropostale shirt, and jeans she bought him. Both with the tags hanging off. Syaoran grabbed her leg only to be pushed off.

"Sakura, save me!" he managed to say before Mei-Lin dragged him off. Sakura chuckled and followed them. Eriol was there too, (guess what I decided to add in magic but this is like after the whole Cardcaptor thing and the Clow cards are now Sakura cards.) He was the one that got in to change, he was whispering something in his ear at first he sulked but then went back to his room muttering words under his breath.

"Hey," Sakura said running over.

"Hey Sakura." Eriol smiled. "Uhhh, is Tomoyo here?" he asked shyly looking to the floor.

'Typical.' She thought smirking. 'Gosh it isn't that hard to say you're going out with someone.

"Maybe…" his head shot up in her direction.

"Maybe not." Sakura grinned seeing his confused expression, she turned her back on him and headed downstairs.

"Wait no I need your help!" he yelled down the steps. Eriol ran to the banister, slid down, and landed in front of Sakura. "Please?! I'm supposed to be meeting her mom I don't know what I'm supposed to do." He said getting on his knees and pretended to beg.

Sakura giggled "Too bad…" she headed outside towards Eriol's car. He gave her a befuddled look.

"W-w-what did you d-d-do to my car?!" he ran over to it. It was filled with clothes and all of Tomoyo's pictures were crammed into an envelope.

"Syaoran let me borrow it." she tossed him the envelope. "I'm heading to Tomoyo's actually. Hmmm, do you want to come with me?" he nodded slowly crawled into the back seat of the car, and looked around pretending to cry. Sakura smiled looking in the rearview mirror. (is that right… doesn't seem like it anymore)

Tomoyo's Mansion/ Tomoyo's POV

DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG I sighed.

'The only person to ring my doorbell like that is Sakura.' I thought. "Just a minute!" I opened the door not only to find Sakura but Eriol as well. "Uhh, hi what're you guys doing here?" I asked nervously.

Eriol didn't answer, but looked to Sakura for the explanation. She pretended to look angry.

"Moyo!!!! You didn't come this morning! Why didn't you pick me up?!"

"Well you got here though! How did you though didn't your car get repossessed or something like that?"

"Don't go there… dark times…" Sakura said pretending to be serious. Then smiled. "Come on." she said dragging Eriol and me inside.

Awkward silence………

"So uhh." Eriol started looking around. I think this is his first time over at my house. I moved recently and so far only Sakura has seen where I live. "Nice… uhh kitty?" he asked just as Spinel jumped on his lap and started purring. I smiled.

"Ya, his name's Spinel." I said about to get into more details but Sakura cut me off.

"Guess what?"

"What?" me and Eriol asked.

"I'm stuck being Syaoran's assistant and fiancé." She stated calmly, waiting for our reactions. I sat there pretending not to have heard. Eriol was petting the "nice kitty."

"Well? Aren't you going to say anything at all?" she asked looking hurt.

"Can I be your planner?" I asked jumping out of my seat.

"What no! That's not the reaction I was looking for!" Sakura yelled getting up too.

"Please?! Come on it can't be that bad! I know you used to like him!" I ran out of the room to grab a scrapbook. "See look it's pictures of us."

"Nice…" Eriol muttered looking at a picture of us when we were little, with lost teeth. I could feel myself blushing.

-falls anime style- "I meant look at all the pictures with them together." Handing to book over to Eriol.

Sakura whined. "I said that's not my point! I meant help me get out of it! I hate him.!" She cried sitting down. I sat down next to her.

"Why do you hate him?" I asked, Eriol started to leave the room seeing it was going to be "one of those moments where everything gets sappy."

"Just because!"

"And that's a good reason why?"

"He left… back when we were little."

"It's not like he had a choice." I said looking at her with a pained expression. "I mean you forgot about him anyways didn't you?"

"Well… See I forgot about him and it took forever. I thought he'd never come back! And now all of a sudden he's my mean boss who tells me to do everything for him. Also all of a sudden he becomes my fiancé because it was my mom's death wish or whatever!"

"Don't you think that wish ought to be granted…?" I asked putting an arm around her shoulder.

Normal POV

Sakura cried into her shoulder "I don't want to marry yet… I want to marry someone because I really do love them, not a set up from my parents." She stopped to catch her breath.

"What if Syaoran really was the one you loved…?"

"And what if he's not…"

"Well have you given him a chance yet…?" Tomoyo asked.

"No… I guess not… but he doesn't want to marry either."

"And how do you know this. Just because." Sakura said pulling out her wallet and showed Tomoyo the pictures. "See." She said sniffing.

Tomoyo smirked there were fresh sharpie marks over the pictures of Li's past fiancés. "Sure I see, mainly Sakura's doodles!" she said turning it to she could see. Sakura blushed.

"I meant like see he's not happy." She stated.

"Haha, weak!"

"What?! That wasn't a weak comeback it was so-so." She said then cracked a laugh. "Ok maybe it is." Tomoyo smiled.

"Well listen. I heard from the Elders that he's been given a chance to look for a fiancé, so it might not be you."

"Really?!" Sakura said shocked. "Wow. So I'm off the hook for real?! Why didn't you tell me sooner." She smiled. Tomoyo smiled back even though she knew Sakura's was fake…

Three days later at work…

"Guess what." Syaoran said to his secretary, before dumping more papers for her to type onto her desk.

Sakura groaned "What?" she asked throughout the week she'd been at the computer longer than really needed, she thought.

"I'm going out with someone." He whispered. Sakura raised her eyebrow.

"And that's my concern because?"

"You won't have to marry me anymore." Syaoran said quietly.

"I see."

"Aren't you going to say anything at all?" he asked looking a little hurt.

"Syao- Mr. Li." Sakura replied "What's there to say congratulations? Thanks for not marrying me anymore sir? I don't know." She muttered, turning around. Unknown to the two they were being watched…

"Ummm sorry to interrupt. But are you Mr. Li?" a voice said. The two turned to his direction. He was pretty tall, at least six feet maybe? (XD like I know I suck at the whole measuring whatever stuff.) , brown hair kind of like Li's but a lot neater, and green eyes that matched Sakura's.

"Uhhh, yes I am." Li said extending a hand. The stranger shook it with a strong grip. Li smiled but as soon as he put down his hand, he started flexing it, trying to get rid of the pain.

"Umm… I'm another part of the CCS Corp. I do most of the planning for the company, and there's supposed to be a ball coming up you see."

Sakura looked at him suspiciously. "A ball? Are you serious?" she asked her voice more sarcastic than needed.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to the lovely lady?" he asked ignoring the sarcasm. "And yes a ball."

"This is Sakura Kinomoto, my secretary." Li stated annoyed, over the pass three days Sakura was anything but lovely. That's why he had went out to find a new girlfriend himself.

Cheerfully he stuck out his hand "Nice, to meet you." Sakura was about to shake his hand but before she could. He grabbed hers first and kissed her on the cheek.

She put a hand to where he touched her. "Well, I'll send Sakura and e-mail about the ball!" he said running off.

Syaoran stood there jaw dropped. "Did I miss something here?" he asked turning to Sakura. She coughed.

" I think I did too." Sakura blushed her hand still on her cheek. "I wonder who he was…" she said in a dazed voice. Syaoran glared and stomped off.

-Yawn- I tried to type as much as a could! Sorry if it bored you… because now I'm kind of bored hahaha… I updated before my "new" deadline which is tomarrow yay! XD so ya. Haha please no flames for not updating sooner, yes I know I'm pretty slow :p Please review!
