Leading the Blind
Chapter 4 : Knowing
It had been two whole months. They had been two months of phone calls. There had been no personal contact, not touching, no seeing; only hearing each other's voices. Their light tones and laughter, promises and desires communicating as each day passed by.
He was finally back.
Sakura's grin was huge and genuine as she watched over Syaoran's sleeping figure. He had called her a few hours before to tell her when he should have been arriving at the airport and he was finally here. He was finally in her home and in her bed. The covers were drawn to his neck as he moved slightly to one side.
Syaoran lay asleep on her bed, his soft breathing spreading a smile over Sakura's face. She lay on one side while simply observing him. The memories of their previous night together from weeks before had been haunting her mind for the past eight weeks.
Sakura felt wide awake. She looked beyond Syaoran's face to the nightstand. Her eyes were drawn into the photo placed in the middle. It was a picture of the two of them together taken by Tomoyo on the airport as Syaoran went to his private hanger and boarded his plane.
They were both looking at the camera directly. Syaoran's arm was over her shoulders while one of hers rested against his chest, grabbing onto the material of his shirt. She had examined this picture many times, usually before she fell asleep as she waited for sleep to overtake her each night.
Sakura had also had to contend with Tomoyo's eerie laughter as she boasted on catching their good bye kiss on camera. Sakura had yet to see the photo but Eriol just shook his head every time it was mentioned. Still, she wouldn't have minded on having a copy of that as well.
Syaoran mumbled something low as he fidgeted beneath the covers and came closer to her body. He said her name with a slight yawn before wrapping her inside his arms and cradling her. His eyes never opened and he was soon completely relaxed once again. It just felt so good to have his arms around her like this.
Sakura's hand hovered over Syaoran's chest. She suppressed the want to touch his bare skin and feel him. She wanted to prove to herself that he was actually there. But she didn't want to disturb him. He had sounded very tired on the phone, unable to sleep on the plane because of last minute meetings and papers he needed to get ready to fax the minute his flight touched down.
He'd had deep, dark bags under his eyes as he smiled at her at the airport. Sakura had kissed him, keeping him upright as he stole her breath with his response. He could barely stand on his feet, but he had found the strength to kiss her as if his life had depended on it. She had packed him into her car and drove home so he could finally get some sleep.
She had led him straight to bed, helping him undress as he slipped into the covers in his boxers. He hadn't even noticed when she had walked away from the bedroom to turn off every phone in the house. Syaoran needed his rest and she was going to do anything in her power to let him.
Maybe it was the lull of his breathing but her own body relaxed. Sleep was catching up with her as her eyes closed and she breathed in his scent. It wasn't long before she fell asleep beside him, sharing his warmth and waiting for the next day to arrive.
Sakura's eyes fluttered open of what felt like a minute later. She broke into a smile as she felt Syaoran shift inside their embrace. He was really here. She looked over to one of the walls of the room to a clock she had placed there and saw the time.
She had slept the remainder of the night away. She was in awe. She hadn't moved throughout the night as she usually did. She had remained in the cocoon of Syaoran's embrace the whole night.
He was still sleeping. It didn't matter that it was well over nine in the morning. He was still passed out from exhaustion. Or maybe not. Sakura squealed as Syaoran threw off the covers from them and pulled her over him.
"I didn't know you were awake," Sakura said as she placed her hands over his head and caressed the hair that hanged in bangs.
"I am," Syaoran moved her around over himself so that she could fall on a comfortable position. "And for some reason I'm hungry."
"Hungry for what?" Sakura asked softly while blowing into his ear.
"I think food is all that I can manage at the moment." He wryly stated, grinning sheepishly at her.
"Poor baby," Sakura placed a peck over his lips before slipping away and standing clear of the bed.
"You know, this smells just like you," Syaoran remarked as he turned down to the covers and pillow and taking a deep whiff. "I spent the whole night dreaming of a field of flowers that smelled like this."
"Well, that is the side that I usually sleep in at night. You didn't dream of me," Sakura pouted derisively before taking one of the stuffed dolls she had over the counters and throwing it at him. It bounced off his head and landed by his side.
"I don't think I need food anymore," Syaoran sprang to his feet, the small plushy in his hand, and scrambled after a laughing Sakura. "Just wait 'till I catch you."
Sakura shrieked as she heard him grasp for her clothes. She felt his fingers grace the material as she ran to the kitchen and stopped on the other side of the table. Sakura was crouched and ready to go either left and right as Syaoran just looked at her.
"Wouldn't you rather have something nice to nibble on right now instead of chasing me?"
"Who says I'm not planning on nibbling on the piece of very succulent leg and thigh right now," with that statement, he pursued right and Sakura went through to avoid him. Although the idea of having him nibble on her wasn't that unappealing.
"Gotcha," was whispered at her nape before Syaoran picked her up from behind and started moving her to the hallways. He threw her over his shoulder and with very strong laughter. "Prepare yourself as you are about to be devoured."
"Really?" Sakura looked down from his back, putting her hands at ready as her fingers flexed over his skin. She went for the onslaught and tickled. Her hands were settled over his sides and moving from one corner to the other at very high speeds. Syaoran almost dropped her right then and there. In some way, it was exactly what occurred as they wound up on the floor.
"As much as I would love to be devoured and sinned, we need to eat," Sakura explained as she lay beside him on the floor of the hallway. Syaoran was breathless, covering his sides as Sakura simply watched him regain his composure. She noticed that he was looking at her clothing and not paying any attention to her words.
"I don't remember you slipping into bed with this number," Syaoran quietly muttered as his eyes raked in how it molded to her body on that position. The bottom part was caught on her panties, which looked to be made of a flimsy material.
Sakura slapped his hand away as it started lifting the material to see the whole thing. Syaoran chuckled as Sakura blushed and tried to right the material over her body while trying not to move from her place and affording him another look.
"You were too tired to notice anything further than the covers when you undressed last night," Sakura replied while standing from her position. She pooled the fabric of her clothing over her thighs as Syaoran simply watched. "Are you just going to lie there all day?"
"I like the view," he replied just as soon. He let his hand hover to her face, settling over her jaw and tracing a finger to her lips. His coarse fingertip brushed against her lower lip, her mouth opening and a bit of moisture settling over his finger.
"I want a kiss," he stated just before pulling her over his body on a strong embrace. Sakura was taken by surprise as he placed a light kiss over her forehead. But then nothing happened, he didn't move as he carefully watched her. Their noses were almost touching, and their breaths coming together because of the proximity.
"I thought you wanted a kiss?" Sakura finally asked him as she let all of her weight fall over his body. Syaoran let out an oomph as soon as it occurred, but he quickly recovered.
"I'm waiting for it," he whispered to her ear as if divulging a big secret.
"Oh," Sakura smiled before trailing her lips to the side of his mouth and placing a peck there.
"That's not what I meant and you know it," Syaoran answered in a pout as nothing after that happened. "This is what I meant," Syaoran's mouth settled over hers, their lips brushing and pressing delightfully against each other. Syaoran opened his lips to rake his teeth over her lower lip, and taking a light bite over it.
"Open up," he whispered to her before he used his tongue to coax her mouth open and slipping inside. They drank, they danced, they moaned as their blood rushed through their veins and felt desire come alive inside of them.
"Now that's the best way to wake oneself up in the mornings," Syaoran's hands unclasped from her waist, giving Sakura leverage to stand if she could manage it.
"I thought you already were," she answered back by grinding herself into his lower body. She could very clearly feel the hardness that was present in his boxers at the moment. "It feels like you've been up and ready at attention for quite some time."
"You're hilarious lovely woman," Syaoran's hand grabbed her buttocks, filling his hands with her soft skin. "But you keep doing that and I'm definitely going to ravish you right here on this hardwood floor."
"Is that a threat?"
"A promise," he said before grounding his own growing desire against her core. Sakura was sure that she was seeing stars behind her eyes. Her blood was pumping while one of his strong arms pressed her roughly against his own frame.
"I wouldn't truly mind, that's my secret," she said plainly before setting her head against his naked torso and taking a deep whiff of his neck while relaxing over him. With that pronouncement, Syaoran slipped his hand under her nightgown and carefully raked it upwards, his fingers displayed over her back.
"You are a temptation that's very hard to say no to," Syaoran picked up the sound of a lock becoming undone and the sliding of a door. "But I think someone's here."
It was all a blur but he found himself alone over the floor as Sakura let her head slip past the wall which afforded her a look into the back sliding door and the person that was now closing it.
"Sakura, it's me!" Touya called out as he settled his keys over the table and started to take off his pullover. "There you are," he said as he noticed her looking by the corner. "Why are you on the floor?"
"Touya, I wasn't expecting you today," Sakura stood quickly and ran to him. She motioned with her hands behind her for Syaoran to move from the hallway in some way to another position. She didn't know if he actually did anything before Touya looked over her and found him.
"Hello," he directed the greeting to the man that was standing in his boxers in his sister's hallway. Sakura groaned silently as she felt him stiffen and his chest broaden. Syaoran offered an apologetic smile before walking forward and offering his hand.
"You must be Sakura's brother, Touya," the grip in his hand was almost painful before Sakura pulled her brother's hand away. "She's told me a lot about you." More like the sick fixation you have of scaring away any possible male prospects, he thought to himself.
"Then you have me at an advantage here since she hasn't mentioned anyone to me," his gruff reply was cut short as Sakura very sharply elbowed him in the gut.
"Touya, this is Syaoran Li. He's my boyfriend." Sakura decided to just lay it all in clear words. "He's going to be staying a couple of days here before I go on vacation."
"You want me to keep an eye on the place while you're gone?" was the first thing that popped into Touya's head as he processed her words.
"If you can," Syaoran excused himself to Sakura's bedroom to get himself ready for the day. Touya went down, placing his eyes leveled with his sister before whispering. "This is a nice way to find out you're dating someone."
Sakura rolled her eyes at his accusatory tone and just slipped away toward the kitchen and the fridge. She was going to have to cook for three now instead of doing something simple that she could have eaten in bed while listening to the morning broadcasts.
"How long have you been seeing him?" Touya asked very quickly. "If he's staying with you and judging by your state of undress, I guess this means that things are very serious." Touya's eyes narrowed as he remembered the bulge he had just seen present on the young guy's clothing. Or what had been present of it. He had also walked to his sister's room and the shower was own for her personal bathroom.
"Two months and don't even," she said as soon as she saw the scandalized look on his face.
A car's horn came from the side of the house, interrupting whatever the siblings were going to go on about. Sakura looked over the window and saw Yukito's Jeep on the drive. He waved at her before motioning for his watch.
"I think Yukito's waiting for you," she waved back at him, her spirits lifting. It seemed like her brother already had plans for the day.
"Was he the guy that answered that time I called and thought I had dialed the wrong number?" It seemed like Touya hadn't even registered her words.
"Probably," Sakura placed a kiss on her brother's cheek before leading him to the door and giving him his coat. "We can talk about this later. Yukito has been motioning for you to get in the car for some time now."
She closed the door while Touya just glared at her and walked to the car that had moved on the driveway. Yukito waved to Sakura once again before moving the car from the drive and going on their way to their original destination.
"I thought he would still be here when I came out," Syaoran slipped his hands around Sakura's waist. He smelled of soap and cleanliness. Drops of water fell from his still wet hair onto her shoulders. Some of it fell over his chest.
"It seems like they have other things to do this morning," Sakura was grateful for that. "So," Sakura turned in the embrace and hugged him to her. "If you wouldn't mind just waiting for me, I'd like to take a shower as well. You can look in the fridge for anything in particular you want me to prepare."
"Sure," he watched her walk away. He remembered something she told him just a few days back. Sakura liked to relax in the mornings that she didn't have to work. He wouldn't object to doing just that with her.
He looked through the kitchen for the tray and rummaged for some fruit and fruit juices he was sure she had in there. By the time the shower was turned off, Syaoran had it all cut and in bowls and ready.
Sakura emerged with a towel around her body and the tips of her hair wet. "Come here," Syaoran called her to the bed where he was settled and moved the tray to the middle. He patted her side before turning on the television and slipping a piece of fruit into his mouth. He was starving at the moment. "There's no rush to get ourselves out of bed."
"Are you still tired?" Sakura settled over the bed and plucked a strawberry from his fingers. She popped it into her mouth and savored it.
"I think I'm just sore from all the hours of flying I had to put in. But nothing beats this,” Syaoran placed one of his hands over her shoulders and pulled her closer while she used the remote to go to the local news channel.
“My sisters can’t wait to meet you. They asked me so many questions about you so many times that I think they might have everything about you memorized.”
“You must be very close,” Sakura smiled as Syaoran picked up a piece of watermelon and gave it to her. Sakura licked the moisture in his fingers as she took the piece.
“We have our moments. The three of them are close in age so I'm the little boy of the family. They act mostly like aunts than sisters."
"I think that'd be nice," Sakura filled her glass with juice from the pitcher. Syaoran grabbed it from her hand to take a sip himself. "You know, you don't have to keep taking the food from my hands. There is more on the tray you know."
"These have a bit of yourself in them," he winked at her before grabbing her hand and eating the grape that she was going to pop into her mouth. He made a show to lick her fingers.
"That tickles," she tried to pull them away, but Syaoran kept her hand in his. "How am I going to eat if you have my hands trapped?"
"I'll feed you," Syaoran promised, his fingers enlaced with hers as she lay her head on his shoulder. "Everything's going to be ready for you to meet my family Sakura."
"It seems like everything happened very fast," Sakura pointed out. "But I'm pleased that we have. I've never felt this way about anyone like I do about you."
"That's good to know," Syaoran responded, pleased that she didn't have any type of regretful thoughts at the moment.
"Maybe you'd also like to know that I love talking with you. I love sleeping next to you. I love you kissing me at any instance that strikes your fancy."
"Is there any way that you could be falling in love with me?" Syaoran hoped to get a serious answer, imagining that this couldn't be too far behind. It was exactly how he would describe his feelings to anyone when she was concerned.
"I think I'm already there," Sakura replied while going in deeper into his embrace. "This feels like love to me."
"Tell me when you're sure," was his response to her own. "I love you."
"I love it when you tell me that," Sakura felt a bubble of spreading warm move inside of her.
"I'm going to say it every time that it pops into my mind," he took a cherry, dipped it and placed it in her mouth. He maneuvered her to which he could kiss her. He got half of the fruit's flavored for himself as Sakura threw her arms around his neck and pushed him back into the bedding.
"I think I'm going to fall deeper for you every day then."
"That's my plan sweetheart," Syaoran was careful to roll her over without knocking down the tray. He settled himself above her, her gaze trapped with his. "I plan to lavish you with my attention so that I'll trap you with my emotions and then there will be no place in which you can escape me."
"I don't think I want to," Sakura pulled him down for a kiss, her hand roaming over his shirtless torso as he maneuvered himself to her side of the bed. "Escape you, I mean."
"There's no way you can run away from this," Syaoran placed her into a harsh embrace that caged her in. "I'm going to take the chance to live whatever may come our way. This is a chance that I am not going to be tentative about."
"We're not being lead as the blind anymore Syaoran," Sakura said in turn. "Our eyes are fully opened and the chance has been given to us to continue on."
"It's spring, isn't it?" Syaoran asked as he turned her against the bedding and pressing himself against her completely. "The season of flowers and the best time of the year. Spring just has something in the air."
"I think spring is doing something for you as well," Sakura remarked as her hand slipped into the band of his sweatpants and grasped his growing erection."
"That's you sweetheart," he amended. "That towel of yours has already slipped little by little and is leaving you completely naked."
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing."
"You're right, it's still early in the day," his own wandering hands settled over her ribcage and was working its way down to her thighs. "Let's take advantage of it and see where this road takes us."
"I'm definitely up for that."

A car's horn came from the side of the house, interrupting whatever the siblings were going to go on about. Sakura looked over the window and saw Yukito's Jeep on the drive. He waved at her before motioning for his watch.
"I think Yukito's waiting for you," she waved back at him, her spirits lifting. It seemed like her brother already had plans for the day.
"Was he the guy that answered that time I called and thought I had dialed the wrong number?" It seemed like Touya hadn't even registered her words.
"Probably," Sakura placed a kiss on her brother's cheek before leading him to the door and giving him his coat. "We can talk about this later. Yukito has been motioning for you to get in the car for some time now."
She closed the door while Touya just glared at her and walked to the car that had moved on the driveway. Yukito waved to Sakura once again before moving the car from the drive and going on their way to their original destination.
"I thought he would still be here when I came out," Syaoran slipped his hands around Sakura's waist. He smelled of soap and cleanliness. Drops of water fell from his still wet hair onto her shoulders. Some of it fell over his chest.
"It seems like they have other things to do this morning," Sakura was grateful for that. "So," Sakura turned in the embrace and hugged him to her. "If you wouldn't mind just waiting for me, I'd like to take a shower as well. You can look in the fridge for anything in particular you want me to prepare."
"Sure," he watched her walk away. He remembered something she told him just a few days back. Sakura liked to relax in the mornings that she didn't have to work. He wouldn't object to doing just that with her.
He looked through the kitchen for the tray and rummaged for some fruit and fruit juices he was sure she had in there. By the time the shower was turned off, Syaoran had it all cut and in bowls and ready.
Sakura emerged with a towel around her body and the tips of her hair wet. "Come here," Syaoran called her to the bed where he was settled and moved the tray to the middle. He patted her side before turning on the television and slipping a piece of fruit into his mouth. He was starving at the moment. "There's no rush to get ourselves out of bed."
"Are you still tired?" Sakura settled over the bed and plucked a strawberry from his fingers. She popped it into her mouth and savored it.
"I think I'm just sore from all the hours of flying I had to put in. But nothing beats this,” Syaoran placed one of his hands over her shoulders and pulled her closer while she used the remote to go to the local news channel.
“My sisters can’t wait to meet you. They asked me so many questions about you so many times that I think they might have everything about you memorized.”
“You must be very close,” Sakura smiled as Syaoran picked up a piece of watermelon and gave it to her. Sakura licked the moisture in his fingers as she took the piece.
“We have our moments. The three of them are close in age so I'm the little boy of the family. They act mostly like aunts than sisters."
"I think that'd be nice," Sakura filled her glass with juice from the pitcher. Syaoran grabbed it from her hand to take a sip himself. "You know, you don't have to keep taking the food from my hands. There is more on the tray you know."
"These have a bit of yourself in them," he winked at her before grabbing her hand and eating the grape that she was going to pop into her mouth. He made a show to lick her fingers.
"That tickles," she tried to pull them away, but Syaoran kept her hand in his. "How am I going to eat if you have my hands trapped?"
"I'll feed you," Syaoran promised, his fingers enlaced with hers as she lay her head on his shoulder. "Everything's going to be ready for you to meet my family Sakura."
"It seems like everything happened very fast," Sakura pointed out. "But I'm pleased that we have. I've never felt this way about anyone like I do about you."
"That's good to know," Syaoran responded, pleased that she didn't have any type of regretful thoughts at the moment.
"Maybe you'd also like to know that I love talking with you. I love sleeping next to you. I love you kissing me at any instance that strikes your fancy."
"Is there any way that you could be falling in love with me?" Syaoran hoped to get a serious answer, imagining that this couldn't be too far behind. It was exactly how he would describe his feelings to anyone when she was concerned.
"I think I'm already there," Sakura replied while going in deeper into his embrace. "This feels like love to me."
"Tell me when you're sure," was his response to her own. "I love you."
"I love it when you tell me that," Sakura felt a bubble of spreading warm move inside of her.
"I'm going to say it every time that it pops into my mind," he took a cherry, dipped it and placed it in her mouth. He maneuvered her to which he could kiss her. He got half of the fruit's flavored for himself as Sakura threw her arms around his neck and pushed him back into the bedding.
"I think I'm going to fall deeper for you every day then."
"That's my plan sweetheart," Syaoran was careful to roll her over without knocking down the tray. He settled himself above her, her gaze trapped with his. "I plan to lavish you with my attention so that I'll trap you with my emotions and then there will be no place in which you can escape me."
"I don't think I want to," Sakura pulled him down for a kiss, her hand roaming over his shirtless torso as he maneuvered himself to her side of the bed. "Escape you, I mean."
"There's no way you can run away from this," Syaoran placed her into a harsh embrace that caged her in. "I'm going to take the chance to live whatever may come our way. This is a chance that I am not going to be tentative about."
"We're not being lead as the blind anymore Syaoran," Sakura said in turn. "Our eyes are fully opened and the chance has been given to us to continue on."
"It's spring, isn't it?" Syaoran asked as he turned her against the bedding and pressing himself against her completely. "The season of flowers and the best time of the year. Spring just has something in the air."
"I think spring is doing something for you as well," Sakura remarked as her hand slipped into the band of his sweatpants and grasped his growing erection."
"That's you sweetheart," he amended. "That towel of yours has already slipped little by little and is leaving you completely naked."
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing."
"You're right, it's still early in the day," his own wandering hands settled over her ribcage and was working its way down to her thighs. "Let's take advantage of it and see where this road takes us."
"I'm definitely up for that."
