Chapter 6

A surprise morning

The sun was glinting through the clouds, sending its sunlight directly into the glassy door of a medium size room painted in lilac. There was a sudden crack sound coming from the door. Four figures were seen creeping into the room in a straight line, acting suspiciously.

"So this is the grown up Sakura," said the elder one almost in a whispering voice.

"She's so kawaii!" exclaimed the other.

"And adorable!" The third one added.

"Shhh...She's waking up," The fourth one finally said with a finger crossing her lips.

The soft whispers which were followed by few chuckles suddenly disappeared, leaving the room filled with the same silence as before. A pair of astonishing emerald eyes slowly opened, its orbs widened as four figures were circling around her on the bed with their faces were just inches away from hers. She was stunned for a moment.

"MORNING!" The four greeted at the same time, smiling widely which was more like grinning.

"Ahhhhh!" Sakura jumped out of the bed, screaming in a horrified. She dashed towards the door. At the same time, a tall figure entered in, causing her to bump into his muscular chest. Before she could fall on the floor, his big rough hand reached for her small soft one and pulled her towards his chest.

As she looked up, her emerald eyes were adjusted with a pair of familiar amber eyes. They were the same soothing amber eyes she saw before. Sudden blurry visions appeared in her mind.

Although at that time she was sleeping but she could feel her body being lifted up slowly and gently by a pair of strong arms, bringing her close to his muscular chest. It was a strange feeling. A feeling that she couldn't explain but it was there. It was a comfortable feeling. His chest was warm and gave heat to her body. But then, she remembered nothing else but that. She didn't know he gave her a goodnight kiss on her forehead. Only he knew what he did and he never meant to let her know.

"Fuutie, Siefa, Feimei, Fanren. What are you all doing there?" He broke off their eye-to-eye contact and turned his gaze towards the four ladies who were no jumping off the bed.

Each of them had the same brown-orange coloured hair; however, different shades of brown eyes but none looked like his amber ones.

"Xiao Lang!" The four exclaimed as they rushed towards the tall figure that had Sakura by his side. Alarmed by the sudden rush, Sakura hid behind him for protection, grabbing his sleeves tightly.

"We're here to see Sakura-chan!" Both Siefa and Feimei jolted in excitement.

"Yup! Yup!" Fanren nodded, agreeing with her sisters.

"Hey, you're supposed to be sleeping at this time. What made you early?" Fuutie asked in a strange tone, glancing at Sakura who was peeping over Syaoran's shoulder then back to Syaoran. He knew she meant something but just ignored.

"Well, with your voices which sounded "as sweet and as soft as little angels", of course I felt like sleeping in 'heaven'!" he contradicted.

"Oh, what a really 'kind' thing to say," Fuutie gave him an evil grin as she and Siefa pinched his cheeks, causing them to turn into red which made Syaoran groaning like a baby.

"Fuutie, Siefa, stop pinching your little brother." All of them turned their heads to the side. Everyone froze for a moment like a video being paused.

An elegant woman in her early 40s holding a Chinese made fan suddenly appeared in the scene. She was wearing a pair of Chinese outfits with her long silky dark hair curled in a bun, decorated with some glittering hair accessories.

Aunt Yelan... Sakura whispered silently. She looked at her in amazement. Yelan Li was the most beautiful and elegant Chinese woman she had ever known. Wet red blood lips, velvet fair skin, attracting eyes...everything she saw in her was so perfect. After the death of Nadeshiko which was about 14 years ago, Yelan Li was always there to comfort her. She was like a second mother to Sakura and about Syaoran, well, she knew him since they were born! Although he could be annoying most of the time, he was the reason Sakura still could smile after her mother's death. He was her first-born enemy but he was also he first-born friend. A close one actually.

"We better get going now," Fuutie announced. She hurriedly flew downstairs with the other three following her from behind, passing by their mother with their heads down. Knowing her daughters, Yelan just smiled. Syaoran was the only guy in the Li's family and being the cutest and the youngest, of course he was the centre attention of everybody. (a/n: No doubt)

"You might want to let go off my shirt now," Syaoran said, clearing his throat as he looked at Sakura who was about the height of his chin and pointing his finger towards her hand that was still gripping his sleeves.

"Uh-oh," Sakura blushed as she quickly removed her hand from his sleeves. She didn't realize that she was so close with him that when she does, she immediately stepped further from him. Her heart was pumping so fast that she could almost hear the melody of her own heartbeat.

"Sakura dear, I hope those four didn't scare you much," Yelan smiled. Her soft motherly voice and her warm smile somehow gave Sakura a peaceful feeling. She felt as if it was Nadeshiko who took the form of Yelan to protect her.

"No moth- I mean Aunt Yelan," Sakura shook her head as she corrected her sentence.

"Oh, Sakura! Please don't call me Aunt Yelan. I missed the sweet angel voice that used to call me mother," Yelan gave a fake sad face.

Sakura gulped. She looked at Syaoran, intend to ask him what to do but he was looking at the floor with both hands in his pockets as if there was something special on the floor. He didn't seem to bother about their conversation although the truth was, he too, wanted to hear Sakura calling Yelan 'mother'. Then, it would be like the old days they used to have when they were kids. He loves to see Meiling's jealous face every time Sakura called Yelan as 'mother'. Meiling was a year older than him and she made this as her weapon to boss Syaoran around when they were kids. As for Syaoran, Sakura was his only weapon against Meiling as those two had never been getting along well as long as they had known each other. He was proud to say, this 'weapon' had never failed him even once.

"Um...Mother..." Sakura said as she cleared her throat. She looked at the floor, hiding her blushing face. She had never called anyone mother all these years after Yelan had gone back to China that was when she was 10.

Yelan ran towards Sakura and gave her a big, warm mother-loving hug. "That's my girl," she said as she caressed Sakura's head. At the other corner, Syaoran was just watching them, smiling brilliantly.

"Now, why don't you take your bath and change your dress. Your father and I along with the rest will be waiting downstairs for breakfast. You too, Syaoran." Yelan glanced at her 17 year-old charming son who was leaning comfortably against the wall.

"But I don't have my luggage!" Sakura scowled at Syaoran, giving him eyes language that it was his fault that dragged her here without dragging her luggage along. Syaoran nonchalantly turned his head away.

"Don't worry about that dear. You could use Fanren's clothes first. Besides, I can see you two have the sane figure and taste for clothes. I'll have Syaoran to go with you to the town to buy some clothes later, right honey?" Yelan smirked as she looked at Syaoran. She chuckled when she saw Syaoran raised his eyebrows disbelievingly. his eyes wide opened and his jaws almost dropped on the floor.

"Thank you!" Sakura smiled joyfully. She stuck her tongue out at Syaoran, giving him a look that says you are so gonna be my shopping slave.

"I'm definitely toasted..." Syaoran sighed as he wiped the sweats on his forehead but deep inside, he was happy to accompany Sakura shopping which means he has a lone time together with her. Sakura chuckled happily looking Syaoran sweating. As they entered their rooms, they both thought, "This is going to be a fun day!"

9.00 a.m. During breakfast in the Li's villa.

Sakura swiftly flew downstairs. She was wearing a white mini jeans skirt matched with a short-sleeved baby blue shirt. Her auburn was left untied and her appearance was naturally stunning without mascara or whatever those girly stuffs on the face she used to wear.

"Morning everyone!" She greeted with the sweetest smile anyone could ever imagine.

"Morning!" They returned her. Everyone was there. Starting from Yelan, her father; Fujitaka, Futtie, Siefa, Feimei, Fanren and the most annoying-thing that she described as, Syaoran.

"Slowpoke," Syaoran teased silently as Sakura sat next to him. Not that she wanted to be that close to him but she doesn't have a choice! It was the only empty seat left. Sakura pinched his right thigh and before Syaoran could groan, she took a slice of bread and closed his mouth with it. Everyone pretended to enjoy their meal as if nothing had happened but their eyes were whispering to each other saying, "They are getting along normally."

In the town after breakfast.

"Could you please stop spending unnecessarily?! You're gonna get me broke if you keep on using my brand new credit card like that!" Syaoran begged. His hands were full of shopping bags, Sakura's shopping bags.

"Um..okay," Sakura faithfully obeyed. She stopped in front of a beautifully decorated shop. There was a flicker of delight in both of her eyes. "Just after I have this one," she grinned as she entered the shop.

"Didn't your father have ever told you to save in case of rainy days?!" Syaoran grumbled as he followed Sakura to the shop. He looked at the sign above.

"PET SHOP."

"What the-!"
