Chapter Fourteen
:--------------------------------:
The next night Sakura was the first to wake up. She could feel the insides of her belly churning. She had read many books on pregnancies when she was with Clow. They had told her she would experience many pains through the making of the child. And she guessed this was going to be the first one. When the baby is just starting development. She gripped tightly onto the handle of the bed. Scared to wake Syaoran up she quickly rushed to the washroom not looking back once. Once inside she crashed onto the marble floor.
Her feet going carry her weight. She didn't know how long she sat there, but before she knew it her whole body was covered in a cold sweat. Her palms were shaking and she was having a hard time breathing. One question kept rushing in her mind. How was she going to handle this? This was worst than when she was transforming, and than she had Syaoran there to take the pain. How about now? 'I'm always here for you.' She heard his soft gentle voice answer.
Slowly the pain escaped her, "Syaoran…" she spoke hoarsely. "You're never alone, okay Sakura? Remember that. No matter what, I'm always here, I'll take the pain from you," she heard his strong voice bellow through the wall. Sakura felt tears in her eyes. She had never felt so happy in her life, true she knew that he loved her. But to what extent…she was always unsure. Until now. "Oh Syaoran," she spoke trying to get off the floor. Suddenly she felt herself lifted from her feet, "Never EVER feel like you're in this alone," he said while telepathically lifting her away from the door so he could enter.
When he opened the door Sakura collapsed in his arms. "God Syaoran…I don't know what I'd do without you." Syaoran held her tenderly, "Shh, just know I will always love you Sakura. I would never leave you all by yourself."
Syaoran lifted her and placed her gently on the red sheets, "You okay?" Sakura nodded slowly, "Yea…I'll be fine." Syaoran gently wiped all the sweat from her forehead, "We'll get through this…together…I'll love you forever Sakura." Sakura grabbed onto his hand, "Me too Syao…me too." Syaoran let go of her hand, "Yue and I will put the wall up now. And while we're at it, we'll go get you some dinner all right?" Sakura nodded, her cheeks have grown really pale through the night.
Syaoran walked out of the room, "Hey," he said gruffly. Yue looked up, "Is she okay?" Syaoran nodded, "A little pale, nothing a little blood won't solve." Yue nodded, "Good." Syaoran looked at him, "Have enough energy?" Yue nodded, "Yea." They walked into the living room. The room had that painting of Syaoran. With the gold lining and red walls. "Nice room," Yue commented getting a good look at everything. Syaoran nodded. "Let's get started."
They both sat down cross-legged, their palms on their knees. They both muttered an incantation. Dark fumes circled around them as a harsh wind blew around. It kept circling around them, as the quickened their pace. But suddenly everything stopped. Yue opened his eyes, panting for breath. "Hungry?" he asked. Syaoran slowly opened his eyes and nodded his head, "Yeah, but what about Sakura?" Yue nodded, "Someone should probably stay here." "You should stay, I'll go out," Yue suggested. Syaoran shook his head, "No, you and her probably have a lot of catching up to do…I'll go." Yue looked unsurely but nodded his head.
Syaoran smiled, "Please take care of her while I'm gone. I'll get enough food for the three of us. Also don't hesitate to kill the vampires. I know…they are still living beings…but if you don't kill them now, they'll gather others…and by than it could be too late." Yue nodded in understanding, "And Sakura?" Syaoran smiled, "She already knows I'm leaving. She's expecting you upstairs." Yue nodded, "You better come back." Syaoran chuckled, "Don't worry…I will. I have too much to live for."
As Syaoran left Yue went upstairs, thinking deeply. So this was the great and fierce Duke Li. He actually seemed pretty harmless, and it was because of her. He opened the door to her room softly. Sakura looked like an angel. She was standing by the balcony doors, looking off towards the ocean that laid in the background. The soft moonlight gave off an angelic glow and her hair blew softly in the wind.
"I told you he changed," she said softly not bothering to turn around. Yue walked closer, "I guess he really did love you." Sakura smiled, "No…he never stopped loving me either." Yue nodded, "My mistake." Sakura smiled finally turning around to face him, "He told me he would never leave me." "I don't doubt him," Yue said looking at her face. Her eyes sparkled with pure joy, it was something he had never seen in her before. So this is what Syaoran had fell in love with. It felt like Sakura had a holy light emitting from within her.
"I really changed him didn't I?" Sakura commented walking closer towards him. Yue nodded, "How did you do it?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "After the ritual, we had an in-depth talk. No more secrets sort of thing…and he told me everything." "Everything?" Sakura nodded, "It was the second day I was gone…"
:--------------------------------:
1 Week Before, Second Day
Sakura looked over to her right sadly. Syaoran was still asleep, his soft chestnut hair in a messy array all around him. She kissed his soft pink parted lips. Touching her belly softly, she smiled. This was because of their love. It was their love that created all this. But inside, she couldn't help feeling a little sad. What if this was just a phase? What if after all this…he didn't want her anymore? Like if hearing her thoughts Syaoran kissed her arm softly surprising her. "This isn't a phase Sakura, when you were gone, I realized just home much I loved you."
Sakura looked at him, "What do you mean?" Syaoran looked off towards the distance, "You know the saying…you never realize what you have until it's gone?" Sakura nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Well, when you left me that day, my heart broke out. Not from the pain, no…but from you leaving. At first I believed it to be anger. Angry that you could leave me, just lying there to die. But than as time grew on, I didn't care anymore I just wanted you…needed you there in my arms again."
Tears were trailing down her cheeks now as he touched her shoulder gently. "As time grew past, my love for you grew. I…as each day past I realized how much I needed you. The pain would always be there in my heart. But when I found you with Eriol…that was what had hurt me the most. I…I thought that you didn't love me than. But than…I started hearing your thoughts…and that's when I realized you still loved me too…and if you still loved me…than I hadn't lost you. No I still had a chance to win you back…and that was exactly what I intended to do." Sakura looked at him, lost of words, "Syaoran…" "Yes my love?" "Never leave me." "I'll never leave you, I'll love you forever Sakura." Sakura nodded her head in his chest, "Me too, me too."
"I wasn't always like this Sakura," he told her, looking deep into her emerald pools. "What are you talking about?" Sakura asked stroking his cheek softly. "I never used to be the cold hearted bastard I am today. It was because of them," he bit out harshly. "Them?" Sakura questioned. Syaoran nodded slowly, "My parents, my brother, Kaori." Sakura looked at him, she noticed all the pain flaring in his amber eyes. "What happened?" "Do you really want to know?" he asked her. Sakura looked up at him, "Not now, when you're completely ready." Syaoran nodded in understanding. Sakura smiled at him, "It doesn't matter, as long as this is the Syaoran that stays with me forever." Syaoran chuckled, "I'll never go back to the way I was, not ever. Not now since I'm with you."
:--------------------------------:
"He's telling us tonight," Sakura said while fiddling with her hands. Yue nodded, "You scared?" Sakura looked upwards, "No…not scared. I…I just don't know what to expect…somehow I can feel that…throughout his whole childhood it was completely filled with sadness." Yue nodded, "It would explain a lot to his personality." Sakura clenched her hands tightly, "Even now when I think about it. The way his parents treated him. It makes me want to hurt them." Yue touched her shoulder gently, "No…don't think that way."
Sakura looked up, "He's home." Yue looked at her questionably, "How can you tell." Sakura giggled, "I can feel him," she said simply as she rose from her spot, "He says we should head towards the living room. It's a very long story." Yue stood up, "Lead the way." Sakura smiled and slowly walked out of the room.
As said Syaoran sat on the red couch patiently waiting for them to come in. "Syao," Sakura said taking a seat beside him. He wrapped his arm around her, placing his wrist to her mouth. "Drink my love," he said. Sakura nodded and bit into his arm. Yue looked at the couple, he could see the happiness emitting from his eyes. How he missed that feeling, his heart clenched as the remembered…him. Syaoran looked up, interrupting his memories he said softly, "There's three packets of blood in the refrigerator. I thought about it…and I don't feel to comfortable with you drinking my blood." Yue chuckled, "How'd you get it?" Syaoran grinned, "Blood bank." Yue nodded and quickly headed towards the kitchen, he wanted to get to the story as soon as possible.
Once he returned he noticed Sakura leaning comfortably into his arms resting her eyes and stroking his chest. Yue sat in the other couch and faced them, "So are you ready to tell us." Syaoran nodded, "Are you guys ready to hear this." Sakura raised her head opening her eyes slowly revealing glowing emerald eyes, "Yea…I am." Syaoran smiled kissing her softly on the lips, "If you want me to stop I will at any time." Sakura shook her head, "No we need to get this over with, no interruptions, okay Yue?" Yue nodded, "I agree with her. It's better to get this over and done with." Syaoran chuckled, "God…okay hmm, let's start at the beginning. I was five at the time. My parents didn't love me like they did my brother. To them I was always, a mistake. No matter what I did I was never good enough. So they got this 'shaman' guy to see where my path in life was. And he told them that if I stayed here one day I would ruin their lives, so they sent me away, far away."
:--------------------------------:
Five year old Syaoran held onto his teddy bear tightly. "Why is mommy and daddy sending me to Japan?" The maid looked up momentarily stopping her packing, "Because little master, they said it's better for you up there." "They don't love me do they?" he asked tears welling up in his eyes. The maid looked at the young boy sadly, he was being sent away at the tender age of five. "No, darling, your parents…they…" the maid started but was interrupted by his mother's yelling. "Rei Hua! Are you finished with Syaoran's clothes yet? We have to take him to the airport." "H-h-hai!" the maid stuttered picking up the pace. Syaoran just plopped down onto the bed, he was leaving to Japan.
When he boarded the plane his mother looked at him sadly. Through those black pools he knew she would miss him, but soon get over it. His father and brother, Hino just stood there. Hino with a wide smirk on his face. Syaoran never understood why his brother hated him so. His mother walked towards holding out an envelope. "Don't open this until you're on the plane, do not let anyone see it," his mother whispered softly into his ear and slowly walked away with his father and brother. Rei Hua looked at the young master and slowly pushed him towards the terminal doors, this was the last time he ever saw his parents.
Inside the envelope was a note his mother had written for him. Inside it told him of why they were sending him away also inclosed was money. His mother told him his father was going to give him any, so she wrote to him to save this money for university.
10 years later
Slowly he grew to love his life in Japan. It was free from everything he left back in Hong Kong. What surprised him though was when he received mail from his parents. Hurrying to open the envelope, he read the contents inside. He noticed it was his mother's beautiful writing.
If you're reading this, that means I have died. After you had left, it was until than that I realized what I had lost. I had lost my child. My youngest son, Xiao Lang. Your father had forbidden me to see you. Saying that you would curse us all. I'm sorry Syaoran…but know this, I have always loved you. Never once in my life had I not loved you. But in front of them all, I couldn't show you. And for that, I don't deserve to be your mother. I'm sorry my child.
Even though I could never do anything for you, I wish you this, good luck. I know you, I have had people watching while you grew up. You'll be able to take back everything, I know you can my child. I have faith in you, and always remember…I love you. If there's one moment in your life, where you doubt, feel, or even think you were never loved, know your mother loved you.
Loving you always,
Yelan
Syaoran crumpled up the letter. It was his father's entire fault. His mother had indeed loved him. She had wanted to see him, but her father had forbiddened it. After a long time of thinking he finally realized his mother was right. He could take back everything, everything could be his. Slowly for five years he devised a plan, and along the way, he met a friend Takashi.
Together they researched found all the information they could on Hino and his life there. And also on Hong Kong, and that was where they found the perfect opportunity. Syaoran could enter the government, getting the queen's favour. And than afterwards, everything would naturally come its way. But slowly Takashi brought something up, "What about afterwards?" Syaoran looked at him questionably, "Afterwards? What do you mean?" "Afterwards, after you gained all this, how long would you have to relish in it?"
Syaoran thought for a second. He was already 20 and in order to get everything to work, he was unsure of how many years he needed. Time…time was the essence of everything, how would he be able to relish with his joy? With his newly earned money. That was when Takashi said the most farfetched thing he ever knew. "We could become vampires," he had suggested casually. Like it was an every day thing. Syaoran laughed nervously, "You're kidding right?"
Takashi shook his head, "No I'm serious. Think about the possibilities Syaoran. You would not only gain immortality but super natural strength. You could gain it all." Syaoran thought about it and nodded, "But how would we be able to transform?" Takashi shrugged, "I'll find a way just give me some time."
When they finally returned back to Hong Kong, they both went their separate ways. Takashi was devising plans for the Queen to notice them, while Syaoran just ventured around until he was needed. Walking on the busy streets one day he bumped into who seemed to look like an angel. She had the bluest eyes that seemed to sparkle, with the softest auburn locks. Her rosy cheeks and luscious red lips kept him captivated. He quickly dusted the imaginary lint off, "Sorry mam," he said while bowing politely.
The girl smiled softly, "It's all right, I'm sure you didn't mean to." Syaoran chuckled, "No I didn't. How about I get you some coffee? As an apology." The girl seemed to think for awhile before nodding her head, "I don't have anywhere to go, so a coffee seems like a nice idea." Syaoran grinned and held his arm out, "How about over there?" The girl giggled, "Looks perfect," she said while taking his arm.
While they were drinking their coffee Syaoran found out a lot about this girl. Her name was Kaori, age 18, she had lived here in Hong Kong all her life. After that day, Syaoran fell in love with her. In his eyes she was absolutely perfect, and no one could take her away. After three months of dating Syaoran had moved in with her. One day Takashi had finally called telling Syaoran what to do to impress the Queen.
Kaori had listened in happiness when Syaoran had told her his plan. Through the three months they dated, Syaoran had told him everything, all his plans, his past, everything. Kaori had happily agreed to be along side with him every step of the way. After the plan was successful the Queen had ordered her guards to bring Syaoran to her court.
After their talk she had asked him to join her court, which he had happily agreed to. Afterwards he bought him and Kaori a new house. The house they were currently in today. Because of his newfound fame, he was talked about all over the city. Because of that, everything changed. Hino came in his life.
