Guys I'm sorry for the late update!

Guilty?

Syaoran arrived at his place, he made a loud sigh. Their dinner had burned, so they had to order pizza. He felt relieved nothing had happened between them. He wasn't ready, and obviously Sakura wasn't ready for something like that. A mischievous voice startled him.

"Xiao Lang, what did you do?" Meiling asked.

"Nothing. You're here early" he answered.

"Don't change the conversation. Wait don't tell me, you did it?"

"What? Meiling shut up!"

"Oh as I thought, you didn't do it, so it makes you feel desperate" she snickered. Syaoran approached her menacingly, as if saying keep it up and you'll get hurt.

"You're not worth my time" he walked off. She took his arm.

"Wait! Xiao Lang, you know that I've always had feelings for you. Judging by Sakura's character she won't do any of that soon, why don't you use me until she's ready?" she said her cheeks red and her eyes watery.

"Meiling, don't forget that even if we were engaged from birth, I never had feelings for you, that's why we agreed to cancel it. About the other thing, don't degrade yourself like this" he pulled away from her. She quickly recovered.

"I was just playing you BAKA, don't tell me you actually thought I was being serious!" she turned around and headed to her room.

"Don't say stupid things like that anymore" he grumbled.

Meiling closed the door behind her, she leaned on it, and started crying.

"Xiao Lang BAKA, you ask me to help you get with someone. You make me come all the way here, just when I was starting to forget about you. But now, now I have to see you everyday and wish it was me you loved" she said to herself.

Sakura received a call from Tomoyo, she answered and had to cover her ears.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo shrieked.

"Yes?"

"Why did I have to hear from Eriol that you are going out with Syaoran, as of today?" Sakura gulped.

"I was going to tell you, just now but you beat me to it" she answered.

"Sure you were, anyways tell me every little detail" she demanded.

Sakura told her everything, she had to cover her ears throughout the whole conversation because Tomoyo kept screaming "KAWAII!".

Sakura went to get her mail, she looked at all the letters, all bills except one. It was mysterious looking, she opened it. It read.

"Dear Sakura,

If you don't break up with Syaoran Li, I will personally let your father know, where you're working. I know everything about you, how much your father disapproves of the path your taking. Don't think I'm playing around.

Take this seriously"

Sakura gasped.

She had been running away from her father, since she was in the third grade. He always wanted Sakura and Touya to take over his company. But they both wanted out, because they felt their father didn't love them. In return, Fujitaka Kinomoto, their father, kicked them out. Sakura and Touya had to fend for themselves.

They would get letters from their father, where he would ask them to return. But with the condition that they would take over his company. Every job, they would get they'd be fired for an unknown reason. They realized their father, was paying them. In the end, they moved to Tomoeda, a small town. Where their father couldn't find them.

Until now, Sakura started crying. She was afraid of her father, he was powerful. Maybe Syaoran wouldn't fire her, but Fujitaka would try and ruin Syaoran indirectly. In reality the Li company and the Kinomoto company where rivals already. Fujitaka had changed ever since Nadeshiko, her mother had died. Fujitaka became strict and insensitive, which is why his children drove away from him.

Syaoran couldn't sleep, he kept tossing and turning in bed.

I think the best thing to do is not be left alone with Sakura, he thought.

Next day, Sakura walked into the building with the saddest face ever. She bumped into someone.

"Kinomoto-san, what's wrong?" it was Eddie.

"I'm fine" she replied softly. She headed to her office.

Syaoran came by shortly.

"Sakura good morning!"

"Good morning, Syaoran" she said. He noticed right away something was bothering her.

"Hey is everything ok?" she looked him in the eyes.

"Yeah" she gave him a fake smile.

Syaoran was about to give her a kiss, when the door opened. It was Meiling.

"Meiling, you're late!" Syaoran said.

"You mean early?" she asked. He rolled his eyes.

Sakura saw Meiling's eyes they were puffy, it was obvious she had been crying.

"Sakura, don't you remember you're suppose sit beside me, for now?" Syaoran asked. She nodded and followed him.

They were working silently, it wasn't awkward more a pleasant silence. But Sakura knew very well that she had to do something about that letter. Meiling came in running.

"Xiao Lang, Aunt Yelan is here!" she shrieked.

"What?" he asked exasperated.

"Yeah she called me, she says we have an emergency meeting right now!" she responded.

"Ok, let's go to the meeting room. Sakura could you please serve the tea for us? Wait, no your hurt. You can write down everything my mom says" he got up and went to look for someone to serve the tea.

Sakura followed Syaoran into the meeting room. All the Li's associates, Yelan, some girls, and Meiling were already seated.

"Mother, it's nice seeing you again" Syaoran blurted out. She nodded.

"Xiao Lang, we missed you!" the five girls shrieked. He nodded.

"It is it's been awhile" she answered.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I got a call from someone saying that there has been a breach in our bank accounts" she stated. Syaoran took a sit, Sakura sat next to him.

"I don't believe it, who is the primary suspect?" he asked.

"She is" Yelan said pointing at Sakura. Sakura was to busy writing down 'there has a been a breach in our bank accounts', to notice everybody looking at her. She felt stares, and looked up.

"I'm sorry, do you guys want some privacy?" she asked.

"No we want an explanation" Yelan said.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"You're one of the heir's to the Kinomoto company aren't you?" Sakura swallowed hard.

"No, I mean technically I should be but… for personal reasons I don't really have anything to do with Fujitaka Kinomoto, my father" she said bravely. Syaoran sent her daggers.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked her.

"I didn't change my name, it's still Sakura Kinomoto. I understand why you may find me as a suspect, however it didn't even cross my mind to interfere with any business between Kinomoto or you"

"So you're saying that you wouldn't give your full potential not even if you work for us?" Yelan asked.

"No I don't mean that" she sighed, "look in my defense I didn't know I was going to work for you. I thought I would be working for Eriol Hiragiizawa" she looked down. "I understand if you don't trust me, Li-san I'll leave my resignation letter on your desk" she stood up.

"First answer me, was it all fake?" Syaoran asked. Sakura felt hurt, it was obvious he didn't believe her.

"Li-san, you know where I live. When you're ready to listen, go there and we'll talk about this calmly" she answered and exited the room.

Syaoran stayed in the room, with everyone else. They were looking into the investigation, it all pointed to Sakura. Only she could obtain that type of classified information. Well, outside of the family; because everyone in the family had access to confidential information. They trusted each other very much.

Sakura filled out her resignation letter and left it on Syaoran's desk. She wanted to cry but was angry, stressed and exhausted. All she wanted to do was go home. She headed to the exit, Eddie intercepted her.

"Kinomoto-san, where you going?" he asked.

"Uh I'm going to look for another job" she answered bluntly.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, but before you leave, why don't you give me a number to contact you" Sakura gave him a distressed look.

"You know what? Yeah, I'll give you my number" she wrote it down in a piece of paper and handed it to him.

"Thanks Kinomoto-san" he said.

"No problem, take care Hashimoto-san" she exited the building.

The surveillance cameras had been set on Sakura the whole time.

"You see, I told you there was something fishy about Hashimoto and Kinomoto" Meiling said.

"Meiling, shut up! I have eyes" he answered grimly.

Sakura jumped into her car, she put her seat belt. She took a deep breath, a fake smile lingering on her lips.

"Well at least my dad won't find me now" she said to herself, her voice threatening to break.

I can't cry now, I need to get home, she thought.

Tomoyo was shopping when she received a call from Eriol.

"Tomoyo, is our relationship real?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo dropped all her bags.

"Eriol! What kind of question is that?" she shrieked.

"Look tell me the truth, it's alright I won't hold any grudge against you" he answered

"Baby, of course this is real. I love you and nothing can break us apart, right?" she asked with tears threatening to fall.

"Tomoyo, in that case how much do you know of the breach your cousin has caused?" Tomoyo's heart stopped.

"What breach? What happened to Sakura?"

"Yelan and Syaoran are planning to sue Sakura if she's responsible for the breach the Li's had" Tomoyo grasped the cell phone.

"You know what Eriol, the moment you doubted Sakura was the moment you lost me!" Tomoyo hung up.

She began calling Sakura desperately but she wouldn't answer.

Sakura was in bed, cuddled up like a baby holding onto her pillow. She didn't want to answer phone calls, she just wanted to sleep and forget all her life was being destroyed by someone, Syaoran. If he had believed her, it would have been differently. But no, he chose to not believe her, and forget about their supposed feelings.

"Syaoran BAKA!" she screamed and closed her eyes shut. Tears escaped her eyes, and she fell asleep.

Syaoran arrived at his place, he'd been trying to avoid his mother; but there was no escaping it.

"Xiao Lang, it's about time" she said sternly.

"Mother I had things to do" he answered.

"I hope you didn't go see that perpetrator"

"Of course not, I'm going to sleep now"

"Wait, how did you let her fool you?"

"Mother I told you many times, I didn't suspect her because she was a childhood friend! I didn't even know, she was rich"

Meiling joined in the conversation.

"Ne Xiao Lang, didn't you give her the company's book?" Syaoran sent her a murderous look.

"What kind of idiot gives such an important book to a secretary?" Yelan screamed.

"I'm taking care of this Mother!" he answered, and headed to his room.

Syaoran threw himself on the bed, he wanted an explanation. He didn't understand how he never noticed she was the daughter of Fujitaka Kinomoto. He felt so many emotions wanting to burst out of him. He had his hands on his face, tears began forming and soon they rolled down his cheeks. The last time Syaoran had cried, was when his father had passed away. But that day, a girl, Sakura, made him cry.

Tomoyo was standing outside Sakura's apartment, she began knocking. No one answered the door, she felt worried. Tomoyo started calling her name. But no one, came to the door. She put a hand to her heart.

"Sakura, I know what happened. I believe you, someone is trying to tamper with your life. My love please, open the door" she said now on her knees.

Sakura finally opened, her eyes were puffy; she looked groggy.

"Hey Tommy"

"Sakura, you scared me. I thought you'd done something stupid!" she embraced her cousin. Sakura recoiled.

"For him, I would never commit suicide! Tomoyo, listen to me when I say this: I hate Syaoran and anything that has to do with him!" she shrieked and fell into her cousin's arms again, crying.

"There, there I'll handle all this. You don't have to worry about a thing" Tomoyo answered.

"Thank you Tommy" she answered.

Sakura and Tomoyo sat in the couch, Tomoyo told Sakura how she broke up with Eriol and that he wasn't even worth it. Sakura turned the TV on, it was on the news channel.

"We just got word that Sakura Kinomoto, daughter of Fujitaka Kinomoto is being sued by Syaoran Li for giving away information of the company. I mean seriously, how do you have the daughter of your rival working as your secretary?" the reported announced.

"Sakura you have to get out of here the media will find you in no time, and soon your father too!" Tomoyo hissed.

"I know!" she answered.

"Let's go now, bring the most important things with you. Your coming to my place" Tomoyo hurried her.

"Ok, ok let me get my purse and wait the mail!" she shouted.

She went to get the mail, she had another weird looking letter. She ripped it open, and read in front of Tomoyo.

"Dear Sakura,

I knew you wouldn't give up on Syaoran so easily, so I took it in my hands.

Have a happy life."

Both girls looked at each other. That was the proof they needed to show her lawyer she was innocent.
