Chapter 8

"Sakura, you awake?Hay babe." Brian calls out to her, stroking her hair gently from the hospital bed.

"Mmmmm" Sakura moans, bringing her hand up to rest it on her head.

"Hay, how are you feeling?" he asks her concerned, sitting back into the side chair beside her bed.

"I am ok, What am I doing here Brian?" Sakura asks him, noticing her surroundings to be a hospital.

"Well, you fainted so I asked Meilin to bring you here to get checked" Brian confesses to her, staring at her a little sheepishly.

"But why? I always get a bit faint, it was probably to do with how I have been over training the last week or so." Sakura tells him, as she gets up into a seated position still lying on the bed.

"Maybe, it is better to be safe than sorry though. you did also tell me earlier that you have been feeling sick."he mentions flatly, staring at her in a matter of fact way. Stopping Sakura from answering him with a but.

Seconds later, someone could be opening the door and walking straight up to Sakura seriously.

"Mrs Sakura Li?"The tall slim man asks her, waiting for a reply.

"Ahhh yes doctor, is there a problem with my wife?" Brian Says standing, sending a nervous look to Sakura, before casting his eyes towards the doctor curiously.

"Ahh well yes everything is ok right now." He tells them smiling, hugging his clipboard to his chest before continuing.

"But considering your condition Mrs Li i suggest you take things easier from now on, here" the doctor finishes, handing Brian a picture.

"Condition?" Brian and Sakura say out in staring at the doctor questionably.

" Yes, your wife is pregnant. About a month or so actually." He utters happily.

"What, Sakura." Brian blurts out, shocked, stealing a glance from his best friend. Who was by the looks of things just as stunned.

"UHHH, doctor can I have a works with my wife alone for a minute" he smiles at the professional a bit more calmer now.

"A minute, take your time you like. I am discharging her anyway. However, heed my warning. No more stressful exercise and rest as much as you can or you could hurt the babies." He tells them truthfully, making his way back to the door.

..Private house. 8:00pm

As soon as Sakura got brought back home that, she was told to rest.

But how could she, she was pregnant. Not to mention she had an initiation test coming up the day after tomorrow. Frustrated Sakura decides to put on some of her gear and go for a walk.

"Bang Bang Bang" She hears, opening the door and about to head out.

"Hay, I thought we could talk," Brian asks her lightly.

"Yes sure, but do you mind having a walk with me instead, I feel very suffocated in there" She sighs out getstring behind her.

"Sure babe"

About 10 minutes into their walk Brian decides to talk.

"So who`s are they?" He queries, putting a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"I can't say," Sakura responds sadly, until she continues to speak, " More importantly Brian what am I going to do? My test is in two days and I can not let Syaoran down." Sakura begins, starting to cry softly.

Brian seeing his best friend cry, turned her into his chest and stroked her back lovingly trying to stop her tears from falling.

"So it's Syaoran you're all worried about, He's a big boy Sakura he can take care of himself. unless , don't tell me it was him? Are they his?"Brian demands softly, still rubbing her back for comfort.

Time passed and Sakura did not answer him, proving that his theory was right. Causing Brian to uncontrollably laugh frantically.

"What, Brian now is not the time to laugh. It's the time to help me think of something to help my situation." Sakura backs away from his embrace a little shocked, sadness still visible in her eyes as she witnesses his behaviour.

"Sorry, but don't you see, we have solved it, Sakura. Now there is no way you will even have to fight."

"What do you mean" She wanders out at him confused.

"Well technically, you are carrying the next Li clans heirs. Which means the Elder can no longer touch you and if they really are Syaoran's then, not even the Witch will have a say in what happens to you either. Your basically free babe" Brian tells her happily, kissing her on the head absolutely beside himself with energy.

"But that is ridiculous."

"No, it's there Law, You basically have a legal right to the leadership of the wolves if anything happens to Syaoran." Brian explains, as he sits down on the floor looking at the stars with a wave at Sakura to follow suit.

"I have a big problem though Brian, How do I tell Syaoran?" She turns to him with a worried look suddenly.

" He is due back tomorrow, to watch your match in a few days so try then."

Next morning 9:00am

"Brian, have you seen Sakura today?"Meilin asked her cousin, walking into his garage in a panic.

"No not this morning may, we had such an intense day yesterday. She is probably resting in the private house." He shrugs, looking in her direction for a second. Her eyes stared at him concerned.

"Shit, Brian we need to get over there. The Elders have returned before Syaoran, they are looking for her. Eriol is still dealing with other stuff and did not come home last night."She finishes, turning away and heading in the direction of the private house hurriedly being followed quickly, by an overprotective Brian and a wrench.

9:15am private house.

"Your a slimy one bitch, get here now."A large man says out to Sakura, before hinting to another guy to grab her from behind,

"No way, what are you people doing here, get out of my house.

"Slap"

"Shut it you, and you follow me, I will take her "The larger man tells his friend. As he grabs hold of Sakura's hair dragging her out of the house screaming in pain.

9:30am

Her lip was cut where the man had slapped her and now she was being dragged into a room full of people in the main house.

"AHH so, this is the fat girl that Li brat made a wager for? Pity we got to her first. Kill her." One man orders out in front of six others smirking.

Suddenly the hole environment when silent as the double doors of the room flue open.

Revealing a very serious, amber eyed man.

"Get the hell away from her, all of you" he bites out enraged, nailing down in front of Sakura to cup her chin with his hands to examine her lip angrily.

"Who, did it? He asks Sakura, looking down from her gaze furiously.

"Syaoran how did you know?" Sakura asks him in a small voice, as she points to the men's direction who brought her here.

"Brian," he mutters out before heading to the two guys in the corner, smacking one in the face and kicking the other in the balls.

Seeing them both hit the floor grabbing their individual battered body parts, Syaoran heads back to Sakura's side.

Helping he stand, he then grabs her in his arms.

"I am so sorry Sakura" He utters to her, before turning around and heading out of the door.

"Hey, this does not change anything brat. When tomorrow comes we will be killing her anyway." An Elder shouts out at two people near the door disrespectfully.

"Actually, you won't. You see Sakura is not even going to be fighting tomorrow."Brian tells them coming into their sights as he continues to speak. "Sakura is pregnant with twins and they are Syaorans. So technically gentlemen according to the clans laws, which you made by the way. Everyone of you who brought Sakura here today, should be killed for injuring a Li heir."
