Okay, I'm REALLY sorry about not updating for so long! But luckily, I have a good excuse! Well...ok not really. But I did warn you guys so you can't complain. Anyway, I actually did have writer's block for the majority of my time away and I finally got rid of it a couple days ago so I can continue writing. So here's the 4th installment!

The magic in the last chapter was when the pen kept disappearing and reappearing.

Onward with the story!


The last few people had just left the building and Sakura felt content to just sit down and relax in between her multiple shelves of puzzle books. She sighed as she rested her head back and said, "Wow, and today was only the first day." She smiled happily to herself as she remembered that she had five more days until she had to go back to work. She then looked at her watch and saw 6:55 pm. She got up and headed toward the door. She planned to take a long hot bath before going to bed that night.

She reached the door and was surprised to see someone there. Well, more like the shadow of someone. She instantly became paranoid and cautiously spoke. "Sorry, I'm closing now" she said trying to discern the face in the shadows. The person then spoke softly, "Well, I would have hoped you would have closed a bit earlier seeing as how you have somewhere to go tonight." The person then stepped forward from the shadows. Sakura then clasped her hand to her mouth in remembrance. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Li-kun! I completely forgot!" She frantically locked the door of her puzzle sanctuary and hurried next door. "Well, we can put it off for another day," Syaoran said trying to sound disappointed but the ominous tone was still present. However, in her frantic state, Sakura didn't pick up the slight teasing in his voice and said, "No it's okay, I just lost track of time." She had finally managed to open her door and beckoned Syaoran inside. "Um, just, uh, make yourself at home while I get ready," she said and then ran off in the direction Syaoran presumed the bathroom was in.

He stayed fixed in his spot for ten minutes and observed the house. It was cozy, he would admit, but it wasn't used much. He then walked in the opposite direction Sakura had gone and went through the first door he saw, that led him to the kitchen. It was white, almost godly white, and everything was in it's place, neat and tidy. Everything was clean, not a single stain anywhere. Syaoran shuddered and whispered to himself, "Reminds me of Eriol's..." He then walked over to the fridge and opened it. It was empty. There was nothing there except a few bottles of water and a carton of milk.

"Like my fridge?" Said a voice behind him. He looked up toward the doorway where he saw Sakura's head, adorning a sheepish smile, poking in, and replied, "It's...empty.." Sakura grinned sheepishly again and said, "Yeah well, I don't spend much time at home."

"I realised.." He replied and closed the fridge door. He straightened out his forest green tux jacket and tucked his shirt in more. He turned to the doorway and started to walk while saying, "I hope you 'dressed up', because we're going somewhere 'fancy'." He said it with slight malice in his voice and a dangerous look in his eye which disappeared soon after. "Sure did!" Sakura said brightly with a big smile on her face. "I was gonna ask whether it was formal or not but I judged it on how you dressed." He looked her up and down and then replied, "Indeed." It was a long strapless light pink dress which flared at the bottom. It had a continuous flower pattern on the skirt of the dress and on top, there were several silk flowers positioned in random places. She had a pair of white gloves on her hands which reached her elbows and she wore baby pink high heeled shoes on her feet. Around her neck, she wore a necklace with a cherry blossom pendant and matching hanging earrings adorned her ears.

Syaoran then brushed past her toward the door. He opened it and held it open expecting her to walk through but she was still in the same position outside the kitchen. "What are you waiting for?" He asked. "I'm waiting for you to say something about my dress.." She whispered shyly. "Like what?" He enquired slightly agitated. "I don't know, maybe something like you like pretty or the dress takes you well?" She said and folded her arms indignantly. "Fine, you look pretty and the dress takes you well, better?" He replied in a dull tone of voice. "Not quite what I was looking for, but thanks anyway I guess." She said rather baffled at his 'unique' response. "Whatever, shall we get going?" He then looked at his watch and continued, "It's 7:20 and our reservation was at 7:00." He said calmly still holding the door open. "Oh, yeah sorry, let's go."

She walked through the door with Syaoran close behind. He walked past her and straight to a sleek black Ferrari Enzo which seemed brand new and of showroom quality. As he walked to the driver's seat, Sakura noticed that the moonlight shone on the head and roof of the car and there was a kaleidescope effect. The car had the ability to appear different colours in different levels of light. The area in which the light shone the brightest, had a velvety purple colour which faded smoothly into a deep blue, becoming darker and darker until it finally seemed black. Sakura then realised that when she was going into her house with him earlier, she hadn't seen the car. This then gave her more reason to be cautious around this mysterious man as memories of that afternoon echoed in her mind.

FLASHBACK

He turned toward his niece who was tugging at his pant leg. "Uncle, why did you take it easy on her?" She asked him innocently.

"Shh…it's okay it doesn't matter now." He replied while they walked out.

END FLASHBACK

Sakura thought on this a while. They had just broken the world record of the hardest level of puzzling and he wasn't even trying. This meant that...he was on a completely different level to the world. A higher level that no one had ever achieved until now. She gasped slightly at this revelation; this man was not normal...


Yeah yeah I know, it's short for two months of being away but bear with me, ne? I had major writer's block. Sorry for any spelling/grammaticalerrors, and I hope you liked it!There wasn't any magic in this chapter...I think but if you can spot some, please tell me XD It's kinda pathetic I know, not even knowing whether there's magic in my own chapters. Oh well, til next chapter!
