Chapter 1: A Bad Start

Sakura simply nodded in response. 'Good thing that bastard wouldn't be the one to pick me up… I could punch him!' she angrily thought.
When they reached Gate 11, Touya assisted her in getting in and watched as the plane flies off. Touya sighed worriedly. 'Be alright…'

"What?" Li Syaoran shouted at his cousin Lindao. "Why are you going to leave your little girlfriend here! And of all people… WITH ME!" he exclaimed as he launches him a punch.
Lindao dodged it easily.
"And where are YOU going! Escaping to Taiwan! Damn you!" he continuously yelled at him as he sends him more punches and kicks.
"C'mon Syaoran!" Lindao shouted back. "Give me… a… BREAK!" he yelled back as he dodges and defends the never-ending set of punches and kicks from his furious cousin. "She's sweet! And… and… kind! I'm sure she'll be no problem!" he continued as he takes the foot stool and started defending with it. "C'mon cuz!"
"NO WAY!" Syaoran didn't give in. "Not by myself!" he added as he halts the punches and kicks. "You need to be here! You know I don't like entertaining guests!" he complained even more, giving the signal that there is NO way he would ever give in.
"Okay…" Lindao started.
Syaoran's face was relieved, believing that his cousin would be the one to give him the break.
"I'll call MEILING to be with you… is THAT okay?" he concluded sarcastictly in a sweet voice.
Silence…
"Don't you DARE do that!" Syaoran yelled on the top of his voice, his nerves practically popping out of his neck. Syaoran started sending in punches and kicks again and it took a few minutes before he finally stopped. "You'll never let me out of this will you?" he calmly asked.
Lindao nodded playfully.
"FINE!" he shouted as he turns his back at him, raising both hands in the air. "I'd rather handle her alone than do it with that UNCONTROLLABLE girl!" he added irritatedly.
"I know you would…" Lindao whispered as he turns his back and walks towards Wei to inform him of his ex-girlfriend's arrival and his departure the same day.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
"Please fasten your seatbelts as the plane is beginning to land at HongKong Airport…" the annoucer of the plane repeated as the seatbelt light turns on.
Sakura carefully fastened herself as she sighs. 'I can't believe I'm actually here…' she thought helplessly. The plane ride was uncomfortably short and was full of turbulence. "I can just hope for the best," she murmured to herself as the plane's wheels land on concrete floor.
"Thank you for flying with HongKong Airlines, hope you all enjoyed the trip!" the annoucer stated as Sakura walks out of the plane with her little back pack.
'Enjoy? Yeah right…' Sakura thought as she retrieved her big luggages and struggled to pull them all to the waiting area.
Suddenly, a hand pulled one of the baggages and stood it up straight. "Let me help you with that Ms. Kinomoto," an old man's voice offered.
Sakura looked up to see who it was. "Wei!" she exclaimed as she gives the familiar person a big hug.
Wei was like a father figure to her since her father died. She felt so secure and comfortable with her –ex's butler and has always given him high respect. Wei is one of the few persons who knew who Sakura really WAS.
"Wei it's so good to see you!" she exclaimed as she lets go of the hug.
"Same here young Mistress," Wei replied respectfully. "Master Lindao is leaving for Taiwan today, so he can't be here to accompany you to their house nor be there for 5 months," he explained as he looks at Sakura's sudden irritated expression.
'Good,' Sakura thought to herself. "I see…" she simply said. "Let's go…"
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
The journey didn't take any longer than 15 minutes and it was awfuly quiet. Soon, the car stopped in front of a huge mansion with a circular fountain right in the middle of the wide entrance after the automatic-operated gate. Wei assisted Sakura in getting out of the car and lead the way inside the mansion. A maid named Anika lead Sakura to her bedroom and left her there to get the luggages.
Sakura opened the balcony door and went outside for some air. 'At least I'm sure I'm gonna be peaceful here, since that bastard Lindao is out of the country…' she thought peacefully, actually smiling at the wonderful view and the good thought she just had. She leaned at the balcony and looked down to see the huge garden below. Her eyes narrowed as she saw a male figure practicing with a sword right under the shade to a huge oak tree. He had hair, and eyes, the shadow made it impossible to see any distictive detail. "Who's that…" she whispered to herself.
"That's Master Li Syaoran…" Wei's voice answered from behind her.
Sakura was startled and had actually leaped a step away from where Wei's voice came from.
"He's Master Lindao's closest cousin," he described as he walks back to the room. "Your things are already here Mistress Sakura, call me or Anika if you need anything," he said as he begins to open the door. "Oh, and from now on, Anika will be your personal maid as long as you stay here," he added before he closed the door.
"Li Syaoran…" she repeated the name. 'I'm sure he's as bad as his damn cousin…' she thought angrily.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
"I'm going out Anika, just give me a call when dinner's ready," Sakura ordered sweetly at her personal maid as she wrote her number on a piece of paper she got by the phone, and handed it over to her with one of her rarest but sad smiles.
Anika nodded and smiled in return.
She continued walking out of the door and sighed as she silently got on a bike, parked near it which she asked if she could use. Strolling silently under the nice sun's shade that day, she stopped at a nearby coffee house.
'A nice weather fit for a cold frapoccino,' she thought to herself before making sure her bike was parked and safely secured. She slowly opened the door, sending the bells above it ringing, and went inside to snatch a seat before ordering.
The coffee shop was crowded and she barely managed to snatch the remaining table for two. Not too soon, a waiter approached her and asked for her order.
"I'll have a tall Caramel Frapoccino and… one oreo cheese cake," she told the waiter before he even handed her over the menu.
The waiter scribbled her order into the paper he was holding. "Will that be all?" he asked before placing back the pen into his shirt's side pocket.
"Yes," Sakura replied.
Her order arrived a few minute later and she started eating as soon as it was laid in front of her.
"Mind if I sit here?" someone asked, referring to the empty sit in front of her.
Sakura raised her head to see who it was and was taken back when she saw a man with chestnut brown hair, piercing amber eyes and a gorgeous figure for who seem to be someone in her age.
"Sure," she replied unaffected. She'd seen better than this, she'd seen guys with better hair and more dramatic and breath-taking eyes. 'But the gorgeous body built's new,' she admitted to herself.
The guy sat silently in front of her, the chair twisted towards to counter and not to Sakura's direction. He looks like he was not affected as well. Sakura's auburn locks, unique emerald eyes, and perfect figure were enough to turn heads wherever she goes. She was someone worthy enough to be stared at and yet this guy was unaffected like she was.
"What would you have today, sir?" Sakura heard a waitress asked, her voice was seemingly excited and nervous.
"The usual," the guy replied like he was admiring how the girl was adriming him.
The waitress sweetly walked away. Giggles echoed after a few minutes. It was obviously because the girl was happy she was able to talk to her crush.
'Typical,' Sakura thought irascibly.
When the guy's order arrived, he quickly ate the crosaint and drank the Mocha Frapoccino. Before Sakura knew it, he finished the moment she finished hers, being the slow eater she was.
They both raised their hand and signaled for their bill. Feeling awckward, they turned to each other and sent both cold looks.
When the bill arrived, they both reached into their pockets, placed the money over the bill, waved their hand and stood up. They looked at each other coldly before walking out of their seats and out of the door, the waiters and waitresses' voices echoing as they shouted Thank you ma'am, sir! Please come back soon!
Sakura's POV
I walked out of the shop and released my bike before hopping on it. I was getting annoyed of how that guy was imitating what I was doing! I can't help it…
'Calm down Sakura, it's probably concidence…' I told myself. I've seen guys staring at me, even bumping me intentionally just to get my attention but never… NEVER have I encountered someone who pretended not to care a bit about me and then later on imitate whatever I do! He's the worst! Whoever he may be… 'Next thing you know, he'll be following me back to the mansion… geez…'
I have turned at the last street towards the mansion when I realized he was biking right behind me. What a way to tell it to my face to shut my mouth… or my mind…
My heart started beating really fast and I was getting afraid of who this guy is. He seems to be stalking, but with that body, he could do ANYTHING.
I quicken my bike's pace and before I knew it, I was hopping out of the bike and was standing in front of the mansion. I rang the doorbell twice and waited for someone to click it open since it was automatically opened from inside with out push of a button.
A few seconds later, I heard squeaking behind me. I instantly knew who it was. I turned to him, prepared for whatever he might got and held my breath. 'Oh boy…'
End of POV"What do you want!" Sakura shouted as she turned to the guy she assumed was stalking her.
"What do I want? What do YOU want!" the guy shouted back, annoyed.
"You're the one stalking me!" she yelled. "So tell me what do you want!"
"Ah-ha… I'm stalking you?" he asked with a slight chuckle of annoyance. "Excuse me but you are not at all my type little missy."
"Little… uh… t-then why are you following me then!" Sakura shot at him what seems to be obvious for her.
"I'm not following you!" the guy answered. "I'm the one who should ask you what you are doing in front of my house!" he added boastfully, referring to the huge mansion as his house.
"Your house!" she echoed. "I happened to be staying here if that's what you're getting at. And for the record, I think it's pathetic that you'd create lame excuses just to know where I live, you could've simply asked."
At this, the guy laughed out loud.
"What's so funny!" Sakura demanded.
The gate slowly opened, revealing Wei behind it. He bowed before Sakura and the guy and smiled when he saw them together.
"I see, you've met each other," he told them.
They both looked at each other and at Wei with a quizzical look.
"Mistress Sakura, meet Mr. Li Syaoran, Mr. Lindao's closest cousin. Mr. Syaoran, meet Mistress Kinomoto Sakura, Mr. Lindao's girlfriend."
