Review Corner:

yingfa07 - Eriol wasn't a player ever. Though the Syaoran's past will be revealed in the later chapters.

teenureen - Oh well, Sakura is a girl who kept her purity in a literal form. The reason why she thinks this way will be revealed later on ~

neko-chiidesu ; Aeriichan; krazypig91 ; chinesecutie07 - Thank you! I hope you guys enjoy this chappie too~

mitsuko310 - I guess I overdid 'showing Sakura's many different sides'.

LovEInsanity - OMG. I just thought about that. I love Wei. He's probably either an angel or a cyborg due to his efficancy.

xXFireRoseXx - Yep, it's scary how different it is.

Moonlight919 - Syaoran will get nicer, well, later on, just as you said. The notes are meant like a thesis statement for me. So it's a hint on what's going to happen in the chapter and the end ties. That's my rule

smile4meeh - It'll get resolved in some time, after a few fights, tears and laughter in the upcoming chapters. And yes, I even surprise myself on how I got that quote made.

VampHeart9123 - More regret ensured. And a lot of thinking in this chapter.

fearlessgurl101 - I guess the rule, "opposites attract" is one of the main themes in the story ~

DN Angel and Cardcaptor Sakura - Yeah. She will. In due time. Chappie up!

Chapter 7 : Price

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Dear Monopoly,

Every action has a price and now I'm in debt.

Blossom.

Exactly when Sakura released full fury in Syaoran Li's foot, she knew she was in trouble. She remembered the blinding wrath in his chocolate colored orbs that somewhat turned into a dark ruby color for just that moment. Or was that pain?

Did she go too far?

To come to think of it, she acted rather childish. The guilt of her actions got heavier when she realized she just stooped in the same level as he was, if not, even much lower. She bit her lip as she excused the thought and then managed to mumble sorry though Syaoran's voice was greatly overpowered hers since he was still muttering something in Chinese.

When she did, he stopped talking to himself and stared hard right through her emerald eyes. She expected his eyes to be rather furious with the hint of murderous intent, instead it was studying her. Her eyes widened in surprise when he let out his infamous smirk that doesn't fail to make Sakura lose her halo.

"Do you think I'd accept such a damn small apology for an act of violence?"

"Act of violence? Take that as revenge."

"What the heck did I do to you to make you hate me this much?" His voice softened.

She looked away as her golden hair covered her flushed cheeks, "You ki-"

"Gah, I don't care." He quickly cut her off; as he pulled a piece of tissue in the tissue holder grabbed a pen in his pocket and scribbled something, "I'm suing you."

"What?"

"That's the address to my house," He continued, not bothering to answer her question, "We'll deal about it tomorrow, at about, twelve in the afternoon? Make sure you come."

Sakura gaped at him yet she was speechless. Did he really mean what he said? Considering the amount of influence and power he has, there is no doubt he could easily do anything. Syaoran groaned in pain as he limped back at his table, gathered his things and left.

When he did, Sakura can't help question herself, "What just happened?"

Though the Sakura was practically disturbed by the events that just flashed by, the audience that witnessed the whole thing thought of it way differently. Was this Syaoran Li's trick to get the beautiful Sakura Kinomoto in his home? Sakura failed to notice the flushed faces of the waitresses that swooned at the very scene that she played on, since her thoughts flew to the possibilities of what could happen.

And they're not good.

"I'm surprised you came back rather early," Wei managed to say when he saw his master standing in front of the doorstep of the penthouse. It didn't take him a minute till he realized that his master is in pain due to the terrible expression he had in his face.

Li Syaoran was relieved he was back home, considering he can't feel his foot anymore. He was furious of the fact that he had no opportunity to enjoy the free night he was given, and that his foot is probably broken. He forgot his anger when Sakura replied she did it because of revenge, thus making him more curious than angry. Luckily, he managed to turn the situation to his favor.

But the fact that his foot was probably dead by now was his first deal of concern.

"Girls are scary. Damn those heels are dangerous. Why the heck do they wear those? Who could even walk on those?" Syaoran asked Wei who examined his foot as he sat in his leather lazy boy chair.

"Did a woman accidentally step on you?" Wei asked.

"Nope, I was targeted." Syaoran cringed in pain as Wei slowly put his feet up.

"I think it's bad. You might have a fracture and will probably wear a cast."

"You're kidding right?"

"I wish I was," Wei said as he excused himself so he could phone the doctor.

"Oh damn she's gonna pay."

Sakura felt nervous when she walked in the street the written address clearly prescribed. Not only she was in one of most expensive residential areas in Tokyo, but she knew she was against something out of her league. Besides, what could a wedding planner do against an international IT tycoon?

Her lunch break of the day is going to be a meeting with Li Syaoran. Thanks to the nervous breakdown, she can't feel her stomach grumbling at all. When she properly reflected about her actions through the entire evening, she knew she was at fault and needed to apologize properly.

She took a deep breath as she found herself standing in a western looking pent house. It took her a couple of minutes before she could find the strength to ring the door bell. Every second since she got possessed by her rage, she regretted acting such a way. Come on, she was a grown woman. And plus, she could have settled the matter by talking to him sensibly.

But yet, it's too late.

She tensed as she heard the door unlock, and too her surprise, a gentleman wise in his years stood before her.

Did she just get the wrong house? She blinked as she read the address again. But she was in the right house. Was he fooling around with her?

"Are you Ms. Kinomoto?"

"Wha?"

"I'm Wei. Master Li is waiting for your arrival," The man opened the door for her to enter. She slowly entered the house, not knowing what was going to befall on her.

The penthouse wasn't only amazing outside, but it held wonders inside. Western and traditional oriental furniture was balanced throughout the place. By a glance, Sakura could tell that the material used for each was very expensive, some probably antiques. Chinese calligraphy that was painted by famous scripter was hung along the walls.

"Young master broke his foot." The gentleman spoke up as he led her through wine carpeted halls.

"Really?" Sakura could hardly believe it. She knew she did stab his foot with full force, but she didn't know it was enough to break his foot. She concluded that she's probably stronger when she's enraged, and sadly Li Syaoran had to be the test subject.

"I have to thank you," Wei suddenly stopped, causing Sakura to stop with him.

"What?"

"Though it is harsh for you to attack his foot in such a way, I'm glad that this accident will at least halt him from his womanizing." Wei explained.

Sakura let off a considerate smile, "I see. He's lucky to have someone like you by his side."

"Thank you."

"Is his foot in a really bad condition?"

"It's casted, but it's just for a month. So I don't think the injuries are life threatening."

Sakura let out a sigh of relief, "Oh thank goodness."

As the silence formed between her and the older man, somehow she felt his pain. Watching someone you love go through things you know is harmful to them yet you don't have the courage to stop them because of certain reasons. That made Sakura Kinomoto think deeper, why was Li Syaoran a womanizer in the first place?

And how could a womanizer kiss so gently just like he did to her that evening?

Wei finally stopped as he opened a door for Sakura to enter. She entered in alone, in a room that looked like a study of some sort. In the desk was the form of Syaoran Li, his head down, eyes closed. Sakura was afraid to speak, knowing she might wake him. Instead she slowly stepped forward, and studied him closely.

Syaoran Li looked like he was overworking the whole evening, considering the pile of work he was sleeping on. His hand still held a beautiful gold pen, yet his grip was loose. His chocolate colored hair was quite ruffled in a very unusual yet still appealing way. It turned out he had beautiful long eyelashes that made her quite jealous. His face was perfectly chiseled, and didn't have scars of some sort. And since he looked so serene, Sakura can't imagine he's the cocky bastard she met the day before.

"How cute," Sakura thought out loud.

Exactly when she did that, his eyes fluttered open, and then surprised emerald orbs met with dreamy hazel ones.

"I want to kiss you." He said bluntly, causing Sakura to blush furiously and back up three steps.

He stretched and let out a small yawn as he rose from his desk ever so slowly. Sakura noted to herself that the devil has awaken, so she should be in red alert. They were both silent, still recovering from the rather sudden confession that Syaoran made awhile ago.

"Not you." Syaoran said rather crossly, "What's with the reaction?"

Sakura bit her lip as she restrained herself from talking back.

"Thanks to you I have a broken foot and I'm not enjoying this vacation." He continued, "So, should I sue you?"

"Whatever makes you content to do." Sakura replied, "I'm here for a formal apology."

Sakura took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry. I know I was childish to break your foot because of a kiss. Considering you kissed millions of girls, I don't think you could understand fully where I'm coming from. I should have properly talk-"

"Wait a minute," Syaoran stopped her, "You mean you killed my foot to get revenge for a kiss?"

Sakura nodded.

"Are you kidding me?"

Syaoran, rather enraged, slowly headed towards her and grabbed her by the shoulder. "You're one of a kind. You're the stupidest woman I ever met. Kisses are nothing."

Sakura stared at his unreadable eyes that scared her to the bone. Yet what really hurt more were his words that didn't fail to ring through her ears. So, when he kissed her…he didn't feel anything? Why was she expecting…? Why? But of course, he did kiss women in a daily basis, slept with them even. But why did she even feel that it was different with her?

She was just another woman to him.

"I see." She whispered.

Syaoran hinted the tone of bitterness in her voice, snapping him back to reality.

"You…"

"What?"

"Take responsibility of my injury. Then I'll let it slide."

"How?" She asked.

"Be by my side till it heals."

That evening, Sakura Kinomoto stared herself at the mirror. Ever since she was kissed by Syaoran Li, it seemed like she lost her identity, and lost her mind. Why…why did she feel so hurt when he said those words? Why did it affect her so much?

"I wish he takes the responsibility of the kiss he stole too."

Dear Blossom,

If you're in debt, I'm filing bankruptcy.

Monopoly.
