Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura

Pairing: Sakura x Syaoran,

Summary: "Why would anyone want to kidnap me? I am a nobody" Sakura wondered in frustration. "Don't try to fool me. Aren't you this man's fiancée? Sakura turned her attention back to the unconscious man beside her, a man so incredibly hot and gorgeous… a man that she doesn't even recognize.

CHAPTER 2

"Frustrated"

Li Syaoran's eyes snapped wide open.

"Fuck!" Syaoran cursed as the bright light blinded him. He was forced to shut his eyes again, finally noticing the insane pounding on his head. As his efforts to ignore the pain proved to be futile, he opened his eyes once more. An unfamiliar white ceiling greeted him.

He did not need to look at his hands to know that he's tied up. The blasted rope is hurting his wrists big time. Since his hands are tied up, there is no doubt that his legs must also be bounded. He tried moving, which confirmed his suspicions.

'The damn fucker that tied this must be ecstatic right now,' Syaoran scowled as he tried fumbling with the knot – but to no avail. He wanted to punch something, anything! Ah, but his hands are tied.

Right.

"Damn it!" he cussed again. To say that Syaoran is frustrated would be an understatement – he is furious! He cannot believe that he allowed himself to be caught like this. Waking up in the enemy's territory despite all the precautions he so carefully took is definitely not something he would forgive himself for… ever!

Yet, he also knows that mentally slapping himself over and over won't change his current predicament. He forced himself to remain calm. He can deal with all absurdity of his errors some other time. Right now, he needs to focus on escaping. He will not go down without a fight. The battle is just beginning.

Brimming with a firm resolve, Syaoran silently vowed that he will definitely get out alive. However, he was hit with the putrid realization that his body is utterly useless at the moment. He can't even sit upright no matter how much he squirms within the knots. So much for escaping eh?

"Tch, they got me." He muttered disdainfully. He had the urge to bang his head on the cold, cold floor. He was about to when…

"No shit, Sherlock" said an unknown voice.

Syaoran whipped his head towards the source of the voice. Fuck, he didn't even know that he had company. He almost had a heart attack when the freakin' voice suddenly came out of nowhere! Again, he was careless. He mentally slapped himself for the nth time.

The sight that welcomed him made Syaoran narrow his eyes in suspicion. There, in the same cell that he's in, sitting across the room from him with her back against the wall – was a girl.

"Who the fuck are you?" he spat. Girl or not, he doesn't care. Syaoran blatantly refuse to trust anyone right now - not even this emerald-eyed beauty in front of him.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Sakura is in deep thought. The conversation she had with the man earlier did not shed light to the bizarre situation she found herself into. If anything, he left her more confused than ever. She still had no idea why she was kidnapped.

'That man seems to think that I was deceiving him… but why?' Sakura pondered.

No matter how much she demanded for answers, the kidnapper simply sneered at her. He really did not believe that she was not in any way in cohorts with the man who is supposedly her fiancée.

'Great. Just great.' Sakura closed her eyes in frustration. She wanted to pull her hair in the process too, but the darn rope restricted her. Perhaps the man sprawled on the ground will be able to "enlighten" her. She desperately needed to know how she got dragged into this whole mess unknowingly. He better have the damn answers. After all, she was supposedly his fiancée isn't she? Or at least that is what the deranged kidnapper man accused her of being.

"Fiancée huh?" Sakura muttered darkly "What a joke!" She couldn't help but sneer. The man had the gall to spout nonsense about a fiancée when she never even had a boyfriend in the first place! It left her completely baffled.

She would have laughed out loud at the irony of it all, but she suddenly heard a man cuss. Ah, not just once but twice. Lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice that the man finally stirred awake.

'Looks like he still isn't aware of my presence,' Sakura noted as she warily watched the man. As she predicted, the man did feel soreness as soon as he gained consciousness. Pain was evident in his face as he closed his eyes in mere seconds after he opened them.

'Serves him right,' Sakura thought as she continued eyeing the man. Even in a disgruntled state, the man doesn't look too shabby –he's quite handsome if she may so herself.

Sakura's eyes widened at the preposterous thoughts that formed in her head. She didn't have time for such ridiculousness!

'Focus, Sakura!' she mentally scolded herself. This obviously isn't the most appropriate time to act like a damn school girl. True, the man was a sight to behold. But that's beside the point. She needed to get out of this situation and in order to do that, she needed to strike a conversation ad find out exactly how she got involved in this mess.

Sakura eyed the man once more. He looked like he was struggling against the blasted rope that restrained him. He obviously hasn't realized that there was another person across the room from him. Exasperated, Sakura was about to open her mouth, but then she stopped. What was she supposed to say anyway? The man looked furious as hell. She can't just break the silence and say "So, hey. I guess you didn't notice that I was here. I was kidnapped too, and it's all because of you."

That's just stupid and wrong in so many ways.

"Tch, they got me," she heard the man say.

"No shit, Sherlock," She blurted the words out before she can stop herself. She couldn't help it! She did not have the time or the energy to start the conversation with meaningless pleasantries. After all, her current predicament is all because of the man in front of her.

Upon hearing the sound of her voice, the man looked positively startled. Sakura felt a bit remorseful. He really looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Who the fuck are you?" the man spat so coldly, coupled with a death glare that looks as if it can penetrate through your entire being. If Sakura felt repentant seconds ago, well, she's certainly not feeling anything of the sort now. And hey, the cuss didn't sound so menacing considering it came from a man who can't even sit upright.

But even if that's the case, Sakura was still offended.

"Excuse me?"

"Are you deaf? I said, who the fuck are you?" the man repeated with more venom than before. Sakura almost flinched, but she caught herself on time. There was no freaking way that she was going to let some stranger treat her this way.

"You're kidding right?

"Do I look like I'm capable of joking?"

Well, the man had a point. Sakura wanted to kick herself for her stupid retort. She didn't want to admit it, but she was a little intimidated by the man and his piercing amber eyes. But she brushed those thoughts away quickly. She knew she had more spunk in her than this, and it's time to let it show!

"Well, it's either that or you're just being stupid." She taunted.

"Don't fuck with me. I have no time for your games."

"And you think I have time for yours?!" Sakura hissed back. "This is all your fault!"

"My fault?"

"You can't claim to not know me when you got me involved in your freaking mess!" Well, if he's being that rude to her then there's no reason why she should act all cordial and pleasant. It's too late for that now.

"My mess?" said Syaoran "Look woman, I don't know what your deal is and frankly, I don't give a damn. I don't have the time to deal with your nonsense."

Sakura let out a gasp of indignation. This man was impossible! Ah, if only she can strangle him with her bare hands! Damn those wretched kidnappers for binding her hands!

"How dare you!" Sakura fumed "Don't play dumb with me! I want answers, and I want them now!"

Syaoran ignored her outburst. He has bigger fish to fry. He was already in enough trouble as it is without some strange woman harassing him. Well, at least he finally managed to sit up. That's one thing off his list.

"I need to plan my escape." Syaoran thought. He quickly scanned his surroundings, eyes darting pass the crazy woman who was looking at him incredulously. Alas, there is no other means to escape. The only way in is also the only way out. And he knows he's only kidding himself if he thinks that he can just waltz out that door and escape that easily.

His thoughts were interrupted by a shrill, hysterical voice.

"Are you even listening to me?!" Sakura was losing her patience. She had been rambling on and on and it looked like the damn bloke wasn't even listening. She was bound on some cell in an uncharted location all because of him. How dare he brush her off as if she's was nothing but a nuisance.

"Damn it," said Syaoran "Will you shut the fuck up and let me think in peace?"

"No! I won't shut up unless you tell me why I got caught up in this mess" Sakura snapped back. "Just tell me! What do they want from me? Why was I kidnapped?"

Syaoran sighed in exasperation. "How the hell am I supposed to know why you're here? You stupidly went and got yourself kidnapped so why are you asking me?"

"No! This wasn't some random kidnapping." She began "That man said that he took me because of you"

I don't even know you."

But then again, the girl does look a bit familiar. Those emerald eyes, he's sure that he's seen them before… somewhere. He just can't seem to wrap his finger on it.

"Are you seriously telling me that you don't have any fucking idea why I'm here? Sakura was losing it. She can feel it.

Syaoran pondered for a minute, trying to figure out why the girl strikes him as familiar. Sakura, on the other hand, has had enough.

"You can't –"

Sakura's retort was cut off by a cough from the side. The couple twisted their heads to the source of the cough and saw the same ruby-eyed man looking pointedly at the both of them.

"I can see that you lovebirds are awake"
