CHAPTER ONE

�� It was a cold winter�s night as I left work. I always hated
the cold, but loved the snow. Luckily for me the sidewalks had been cleared of
the white stuff and I had my favorite thick coat.

�� Pulling out my keys, I quickly locked the small shop. I was
also lucky enough to have the shop. It was a small bakery. Ever since I was
little, I had always wanted a bakery of my own. And after seven years of hard
work, I had finally managed to save up for the small, two story building space
that was now my own.

�� It was the smallest bakery in town, but I loved it to
pieces. The lower level was the small shop, where people could come and
purchase cakes and cookies and more while the upper level contained the small
eatery where breakfast and lunch was served. The kitchen was wonderful and the
window�s held beautiful views of the park across the street. I had decorated
the windows personally, drawing flowers encircling the shop�s name, The Magic Blossom.

�� I had great customers, even many regulars. And even now, as
I put away my keys and headed out, I was carrying a small cake box. Inside was
a Valentine�s Day cake, special made. I had decided to deliver it personally
tonight, the night before Valentine�s Day, to a very special customer. She came
in all the time and often ordered cakes for delivery. And between seeing her in
the eatery and delivering her her cakes, we became close friends. She was one
of the most popular women in the small city of Grape Vine Valley, Tomoyo, the famous model and
actress, who made the city her home. And here I was, little old Sakura
Kinomoto, friend�s with her.

�� The streets were busy as I walked down Main Street. Cars were waiting in the
traffic, humming quietly. There were few people on the streets, mostly other
little shop owners closing up. But they were all lucky enough to own the space
above their shops, not having to brace the cold.

�� I sighed and trudged on. Although I had the two levels for
my bakery, I had really wanted to get the third floor, so as I could live above
my shop. But at the time I didn�t have enough money, and when I finally had
saved enough, the space had been sold and someone was already living there. I
never saw who came or went to the apartment, but every now and again I�d hear
the door slam and someone arrive home.

�� When I had moved to the city two years ago, I knew I would
always live there. The valley had been named for the multiple successful
vineyards that were sprinkled throughout. The valley was made from the four
surrounding mountains, all facing different directions, hence their names, the
North, East, South, and West
Mountains.

�� The city had been small but with all the success from the
vineyards, it was growing. A new hospital had just been built down the street
from my bakery and it was said to be the biggest and best hospital in the
state. The combining business of the vineyards, the hospital, and all the other
shops in the city, including my own, business was booming.

�� The snow began to drift down slowly and I smiled. I had
always loved the snow and it�s purity. But by now the cold was getting to me,
and I rushed foreword, pausing at the stop light.

�� After a moment, a heavy breathing down my neck caused me to
jump and I turned slightly. A man was standing close behind me, his eyes
closed. He was breathing deeply through his nose, as if smelling me.� A small sliver of panic wove it�s way inside
me. Stepping slightly forward, I prayed. I prayed the light would change while
his eyes were still closed.

�� Kami must have heard my prayers as the light changed and I
hurried forward, clutching the cake box to my chest. As I got closer to the
busy hospital, I turned slightly to see if he was still there. I gasped sharply
in the cold air as I saw the man some feet behind me, his dark eyes watching
me. Turning again, I rushed to the next light. A few people, probably some of
the hospital workers stood waiting and I felt safer as I stood in their midst.

�� Peering behind me, I glanced back at the man. He stood in
the darkness, away from the group of workers. He wore a thick, heavy dark coat
and matching hat. A black scarf was wrapped around his neck, covering his lower
face from view. His dark eyes were trained on me. A shiver ran through my spine
and I spun back around only to see the light change again.

�� I pushed my way through the crowd, hoping to lose him.
Excusing myself multiple times, I managed to get down the block before I
glanced back. There he was, moving ever so persistently after me.

�� Now my fear began to spike. The police station was on the
other, quieter side of the city. There was no way my nerves would handle the
walk, and it was too risky to be alone. And I had never thought to invest into
a cell phone, seeing no purpose in them. Course it would have been great now.
Looking foreword to the next light, I saw a single man standing. Past the light
there was just one more before the open hospital doors.

�� That was it. I�d go to the hospital until he left, or I�d
call the police from there. Peering over my shoulder, I was shocked to see my
mysterious stalker closing in, his feet moving fast in the snow.

�� Panicking, I dug into my purse and quickly pulled out a
small notebook and pen, scribbling across it, �Please help. Being followed by
strange man. Play along till hospital.� Walking faster, I approached the man
waiting at the light.

�� The man was tall and seemed around my age or slightly
older. He had dark brown hair flecked with the falling white snowflakes. He
wore a thick sweater and coat, boots protruding from a pair of dark blue jeans.
He was thin and lean but had a muscular air about him.

�� Gaining courage, I shouted over to him. �Excuse me!� I
called, slightly hesitantly. The man turned dark, chocolate brown eyes in my
direction, his handsome features looking confused and irritated. I ran up to
his side, smiling as best I could. One hand holding the box of Tomoyo�s cake, I
pushed the note under his nose with the other one.

�� Oh honey I thought it was you!� I lied as I saw him scan
the note. �I got you the cake. C�mon now, let�s go. We need to get to the
hospital.�

�� The man nodded. �Sure,� he said in a deep voice. Wrapping
an arm around my own, he turned, leading me to the hospital doors. Peeping
back, I saw the man following me stop, eyes wide in surprise. And to my relief,
he turned and began to walk back the other way.

�� I turned my head back around as we reached the hospital
doors and sighed.

�� Is he gone?� my escort asked and I nodded. As if I had
been suddenly lit on fire, the man pulled his arm from mine, his hands back
inside his pockets. We entered the hospital and I was relieved for the warmth
it offered.

�� Dr. Li, what are you doing back here?� a nearby nurse
asked the man.

�� Dr. Li shrugged and led me to some pay phones. �You can
call for a ride here.� Leaving me, he headed for the door.

�� Wait!� I cried after him.

�� He paused, looking back at me. Irritation was clearly
evident in his voice. �Now what?�

�� I held out my small cake box to him. Tomoyo wouldn�t mind,
not when I explained. Dr. Li looked at the box for a moment before taking it.
He opened the lid and peered inside. The cake was a small circular chocolate
cake with strawberry icing covering it. Chocolate and cherry icing had been
used to write out Happy Valentine�s Day across the center. He looked back up at
me.

�� For helping me... back there,� I explained. �Thank you.� I
bowed slightly.

�� Dr. Li looked at me another moment before closing the box.
Turning toward the door once again, he paused as she reached the doorway.

�� Thanks,� he grumbled and headed out. I frowned and went to
a phone, dialing Tomoyo�s number. The nerve of that guy! All he had to do was
walk with me, nothing special. I even thanked him with a cake! What more did he
want? A trophy?

�� Hello?� came Tomoyo�s voice over the phone.

�� Oh thank goodness you�re home. It�s Sakura.�

�� Sakura? Is everything okay? You sound mad.�

�� I smiled. �I�m... agitated. I�ll tell you the story when I
see you. Can you come pock me up? I�m at the hospital?�

�� Tomoyo gasped loudly on the line. �Oh my god Sakura are you
okay? What happened?�

�� No, No, I�m fine. Perfectly healthy last time I checked.
I�ll explain it all later. Can you come get me?�

�� Oh of course! I�ll be there in five minutes. Just wait
inside the lobby.�

�� After hanging up, I headed back to the hospital lobby. The
hospital had been built not just for our city, but for all the surrounding ones
as well. So there were plenty of people this cold night, sitting, standing,
loitering about.

�� Settling in a seat near the door, I glanced at a large wall
nearby. It had been covered with pictures of all the doctor�s the hospital
employed. And there he was. The handsome but very rude, Dr. Li.

�� Dr. Syaoran Li,� I read aloud softly. �Lung Specialist.
Huh. What do you know?� I gazed at the picture a bit longer, examining his
handsome features. He had a strong stare... or was it a glare in those dreamy
chocolate eyes? A half smile half frown looked back at the camera and I could
see his strong jaw jut out even more so.

�� Sakura!� someone called and I turned to see Tomoyo rushing
to me. A long purple flowing skirt skittered around her ankles and she worse a
large lavender blouse, the long sleeves extending past her hands. A green scarf
had been wrapped around her neck but with all her movements it had fallen to
her shoulders, the long tips dancing by her skirt and feet. Tomoyo had the
prettiest hair and eyes I had ever seen. Her hair was long and a special black
that gleamed a beautiful purple in the light. Her soft, loving lavender eyes
looked surprised and worried this late at night.

�� Tomoyo practically threw her arms around me. �Oh Sakura are
you sure you�re all right?� she asked in her high-pitched voice.

�� I nodded. �Yes, yes. I�m fine. I�ll tell you all about it
when we get to my house.�

�� Oh no,� Tomoyo protested, taking my hand. �You can spend
the night at my house tonight.�

�� As Tomoyo�s car pulled from the hospital parking lot, I
glanced back down the road. Standing under the same light as before, once more
waiting for it to change, was Dr. Syaoran Li. Leaning against the window I
thought of his handsome face that seemed familiar to me... and his rude
behavior.

�� Dr. Syaoran Li.

�� Dr. Syaoran Li!� Tomoyo cried once I finished my story. She had lent
me some pink bunny pajamas and we sat on the floor in her room, drinking hot
chocolate and gossiping like a couple of high school girls. �You don�t know who
he is?�

�� I shook my head.

�� He�s the heir to the Li Vineyard! It�s the biggest
Vineyard in Grape Vine! He�s also the top LUNG SPECIALIST in the state!�

�� My mouth dropped in surprise and I practically choked on my
hot chocolate. �You�re kidding me! He was such a jerk to me. I mean, I didn�t
have to give him the cake. Hell, I didn�t even have to thank him.�

�� Tomoyo nodded furtively. �I�ve heard that although he is
rich and handsome, he�s really rude. Even to other doctor�s. But they say he�s
wonderful to his patients. And his nurses. Course rumor has it that he�s slept
with all of them at least once. They think the world of him.�

�� No way...� I murmured, setting down my hot chocolate and
leaning back onto the floor and my sleeping bag, my makeshift bed.

�� Tomoyo yawned and stood, stretching. �Mind if I turn the
lights out? I�m exhausted,� she asked as she climbed into bed. I shook my head.
With a lick the lights went out and I sat in the darkness.

�� Dr. Syaoran Li. Just thinking about him half made me drool
in lust, half made me puke in disgust. How could someone so good looking be
so... so mean and rude? I rolled over, pulling up my blanket and shutting my
eyes. His portrait stared back at me from the other side of my eyelids.

�� Dr. Syaoran Li.
