Story: Purely Coincidental

She was a free spirit and he a successful business man. She didn't care for love and he didn't have the time for it. Two strangers meet in an empty movie theater and nothing is ever the same.

Author's Note: Some of you are giving me a chance so thank you! I really can't believe it, so thank you

Also I really like people using last names versus first name being more intimate.

I hope everyone's prayers (or w/e you do) are with Japan in their time of need

Chapter 2

"Hey little train, wait for me!

I once was blind but now I see

Have you left a seat for me?

Is that such a stretch of imagination?"

~Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "O Children"

Sakura glanced at the address on her phone and back up at the building to make sure they matched. They did.

She was getting butterflies now.

The building was so tall she had to crane her neck to see the top. And though she could not count the stories (Math had never been her strong point!) it looked taller than the skyscrapers surrounding it. She hoped that Li wasn't very important because she had not dressed appropriately, not noticing the big sign she had passed that said Li Corporations.

"Your name," A buff looking security guard asked her as soon as she had walked into the glass doors. There was a very pretty fountain in the middle of the lobby and she had to physically tear her eyes away from it.

"My name is Sakura Kinomoto," She said in an awed voice but then quickly realized what was going on.

He started typing into a high tech computer.

"But I know I'm not on the list." She fidgeted, not having thought this far ahead. "I just have to return something to a Syaoran Li. You don't know if he works here by chance, do you?"

The guard was not fooled. "Does Syaoran Li work here?" He asked incredulously. "Miss, do not play games with me!"

Sakura furrowed her brows in confusion. "What game? I was just trying to return," At this point she opened her purse to get the handkerchief.

"What's going on here?" A new voice entered, his eyes darting from the young woman digging in her purse to the annoyed security guard.

Sakura looked up and was surprised to see a man with midnight blue hair. He was handsome but what a weird hair color, she thought absently. "Hello," She said politely. "I am just trying to return something that belongs to Li."

He looked at her weirdly, never having seen her before in his life. "What could you possibly have of Syaoran Li's?"

She began looking in her purse for the item; convinced that they would believe her if she would show them. "A handkerchief, it's green and very expensive."

Eriol just laughed and motioned to the guard to let her through. He believed her because he knew that Li only carried around expensive green handkerchiefs.

"Thank you so much," She said to the guard as she stepped through the space. "I am so sorry for the inconvenience."

"You apologized to him?" Eriol said in amazement as he gestured to a bunch of elevators past the fountain. "He didn't let you in. Aren't you supposed to laugh in his face that you got in?"

Sakura shrugged as she followed him to the elevators. "He was just doing his job. There's no reason to be upset."

"That's very kind of you." He pushed the up button and stood back. His sapphire eyes took her in critically.

Sakura fidgeted once again, mad at herself for not dressing better.

"So how do you know Syaoran Li?" He asked once they had gotten in the elevator.

Sakura was not really paying attention to what he was saying because the elevator was amazing! It was paneled in wood and there was a small flat screen. She pointed to it and looked at her elevator partner, eyes wide with shock. "There's a television!" She said in amazement.

He chuckled and his eyes turned to watch the floor numbers light up as they passed. "It's a bit superfluous isn't it?"

"I don't know what that means," Sakura admitted with a giggle. "But if it means amazing then I agree wholeheartedly!"

"You are very honest," He told her with a note of admiration in his voice. Then the elevator opened and they stepped out.

He opened the glass door and there was a woman with an ample amount of cleavage showing sitting at the desk. She looked up briefly from her typing, wrinkled her nose, and then resumed it. Eriol just ignored her and walked past her desk without a glance.

Sakura struggled to catch up. She wondered if she was hanging out with the CEO or something because nobody questioned his right to go anywhere. Or maybe it was the way he held himself? He looked very important. She made the mistake of glancing at the blonde and was on the receiving end of a death glare. She walked faster to get away from her but ran into the helpful man who had opened a wooden door.

"I am so sorry," She apologized, her face turning bright red. Her own messenger bag and purse had fallen but she scrambled to pick up the man's stuff.

"What is going on?" A cold voice asked.

Sakura paused in her dusting the man's shoulders off when she looked behind her.

"It's you," Syaoran said, pausing in his writing on a very important document. It came out much softer than he wanted but he chalked it up to being surprised.

The girl he had seen at the theater was in his office dusting off the most annoying lawyer ever in his doorway. She was wearing navy shorts above her knee with suspenders and a white button up shirt with a matching tie. It seemed to be a uniform of some sort. She pushed her shiny auburn hair behind her ear.

Any other words died when their eyes connected. She had the most beautiful green eyes.

He didn't remember her eyes being that radiant yesterday. He had come to the theater because he knew no one would look for him there. It was the first time he was trying to get away. He deserved one day when he wasn't expected to be on conference calls or dictate others. So he picked an unpopular movie and hoped the movie was empty.

It wasn't but she was there.

Her hair distracted him in the beginning because it was in a ponytail and it had the cutest curls at the end. He was never able to get into the movie and for 80 minutes he watched her. He picked a seat in the back and to the right of her so he could see her in his peripheral. She had an adorable button nose and her expressions seemed to have a direct link to her emotions. He could only see her from the side but a certain innocence exuded from the girl.

And it drew him in.

"So you do know each other?" Eriol asked amused. He wished he had brought a camera with him. His usually stoic boss was staring at the girl like he had never seen one before. Interesting…

"Out Hiiragizawa!" He yelled harshly, pointing back out the door.

Sakura jumped and turned desperately toward the blue haired man named Hiiragizawa. She almost wanted to leave with him. "Thank you for all your help," She said earnestly. "I wouldn't have made it without you."

"It's my pleasure," He told her charmingly as he made his exit. "I'm sure I'll be seeing you again."

Syaoran growled at him but stopped when they were alone. "What are you doing here?" He asked, in what he had opened was his most nonthreatening voice.

"I came to bring you back your handkerchief." She said in a small voice, digging it out of her purse and walking over to the desk to lay it down gently. "I washed it so you wouldn't have to have use it still full of my tears."

He was surprised and stared at the harmless handkerchief on his desk. "T-thank you," He looked up while stuttering, his voice not used to having to utter those words.

She smiled brilliantly and his neck became hot. "I decided to return your random act of kindness by bringing you something to eat." She walked back to her messenger bag by the door to get it. "I knew my class ended during lunch and I didn't want to be rude."

He was in shock. He couldn't do anything but stare at her as she placed the takeout on his desk, mindful of not laying it on any papers.

"I didn't know what you like or what you're allergic to," Sakura muttered uncomfortably his continued lack of response. "But I got it from one of my favorite restaurants and I bought a variety."

Syaoran knew she wasn't a stalker then because she could pick up the nearest magazine or search the internet and find the answers to those questions easily. "This was completely unnecessary," He replied stiffly, unaware of how to take such a kind gesture. He was used to people doing things for him but always with an ulterior motive. For some reason, he didn't get that vibe from her.

She was still standing in front of his desk when she realized what he was probably thinking. "Don't worry," She told him with a laugh. "I wasn't planning on staying."

She sent him one more breathtaking smile while grabbing her stuff and waltzed out of his office, and his life.

He watched the wooden door for a few moments only dragging his eyes away when the intercom beeped. "Yes?" He asked, annoyed.

His secretary's nasally voice answered. "The security guard from the lobby is wondering if the girl," She scoffed condescendingly. "Sakura Kinomoto is allowed. He tried to stop her but Hiiragizawa-"

"Hiiragizawa obviously knew she was allowed in. Tell him to put her name on the always admitted list and don't bother me again unless its business related." He pushed the intercom and effectively cut off the conversation.

The takeout caught his eye. He was used to not eating during the work day but he was too curious. He opened the bag and inhaled the sweet aroma of Panera Bread. It had been years since he ate there and he dug in, completely forgetting about work for a while. As he took a bite of the small Greek salad, he noticed a note.

There is no such thing as a small act of kindness –Sakura Kinomoto
