Konichiwa. How is everyone? I'm very happy. I got forever in one moment
up and I am starting a new fic. I haven't decided on a name yet though.
Someone asked if I could do a sequel to this but mates we ain't done yet. I will probably write a sequel to it but this is the second last chapter.

'WAAAAAAA" The noise of a baby's cry woke Sakura from her pleasant dream. The term was almost over and her assignment was almost due. It was her turn to take care of Yan and he had decided to cry at two in the morning.
With a small sigh she got up and walked to his crib cooing softly to her 'son.' She took her key and put it into his back. It stopped him crying and she decided to rock him for a few minute. She knew it wouldn't do anything but she had gotten into the habit of doing it.
"I see you handled it." A deep masculine voice said from her door. She turned around to see Syaoran leaning against he door frame in a black t- shirt and his boxer shorts. (Watches as girls all drool)
"Yeah. Second time tonight. New record." She whispered back as not to wake anyone in the house.
He smiled at her and walked over to her bed sitting down. She giggled softly and walked up to him with Yen in her arms.
"You want to hold him?" She offered the baby to her fiancée. She smiled at the thought. He was HER fiancé.
"Yeah." He held out his hands and accepted the baby. He'd actually become attached to the doll and it was a little scary. (You do get attached. It's frustrating when you get that bond with a doll. It's hard to break cause you give the object aura. You ever had a comfort blankets? It's the same thing.)
He made himself comfortable on the bed and Sakura sat next to him. She played with his unruly hair and kissed behind his ear. He gave a little grunt in pleasure and Sakura giggled.
"You enjoy that." She teased. Ever since the engagement she'd become a lot bolder. Even more than she was before. Giving him these kind of pampering touches that made him melt.
"Uh hu." He sighed as she got behind him and massaged his tense muscles.
He'd been training a lot lately and it made him extremely tense. Sakura loved doing this for him. He melted under her ministration and would become completely slack. He would occasionally make small noises of satisfaction when she pressed her fingers against a sore spot.
"Hmm. There. Yeah that's the spot." He groaned when she pressed her palms against his shoulder blades. "Remind me again where you learned this my Ying Fa."
"Put Yan down and I'll tell you." She whispered in his ear. He obeyed her request and set the baby back in its crib. He then proceeded to sit back down on the bed but Sakura forced him to lie on his stomach.
"What are you doing?" He asked as she placed one of her pillows on his rump and proceeded to sit on it.
"You're still too tense." She explained as she rubbed her palms against his back. He let out a soft purr. He rarely did that but Sakura loved it when he did.
"You're so cute when I do this to you." She whispered and started to bite the back of his neck gently. That earned her some more purring and groaning.
She continued to move her hands up and down his back in circles. He moaned and felt every muscle in his body go limp under her palms. It was amazing the effect she had over him. She would always give him these massages to release his tension and Kami knew it worked.
Sakura giggled quietly as he fell limp on her bed. He had been extremely tense lately.
"Otou-san will be coming over tomorrow. About the engagement." She whispered as she got up. He turned onto his back and watched as she walked over and locked her door.
"Yeah, I'm dreading it since Touya will be here too. I hope I don't get killed like I almost did three weeks ago." He chuckled and reached out for her.
"First he burst into tears when he saw Yan Tao and then he tried to strangle you and drown you to death in the pool when he saw the ring." Sakura remembered. Who couldn't? Touya had to be tied up.
"Yeah. Not a fun experience." He grumbled. Sakura gave him a little pout. The ones that says 'I'm-so-cute-and-irresistible-and-if-you-don't- kiss-me-in-the-next-five-seconds-I'll-cry.'
Happy to comply to her silent pleas he pulled her on top of him and warmed his lips with hers. He started out slow. Tender. Just light kisses on her lips until she was comfortably straddling him.
"You definitely are bolder." He teased once they pulled apart. He had his hands on the small of her back holding her close.
"Well I couldn't stay dense all my life could I?" She said smugly. He chuckled a little and laid back on the bed.
"You were kind of dense when we were kids." He taunted. She playfully slapped him and pouted.
"Mou, You're supposed to be nice to me. I'm the mother of your child and your wife." She stopped and giggled at the look on his face. "What?"
"I like the way that sounds. Mother of MY child and MY wife." He emphasized the word 'my'.
"Does that please your male ego?" She cooed as if talking to a small child. He growled and flipped her onto her back with him now straddling her hips.
"Very much." He said huskily and kissed her passionately.
She giggled when his hands ran up her hips in a tickling motion. (I'm ticklish only around my hips and waist and I once chocked cause I stopped breathing from laughing so much.)
"You really are just a big softy under all that warrior reputation you give yourself, " she said with a bright smile.
"Don't tell anyone though." He whispered tenderly in her ear. He would never allow anyone else to do what she did to him.
"Wouldn't dream of it. If they knew what you can really be I'd loose you to a swarm of women. Not that you don't get it already but at least I am there." She said in her cute tone of voice.
"You never have to worry about that. I wouldn't have anyone else." He kissed her again and she wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him painfully close to her.
'You go girl.' Her mind cheered as the kiss progressed. She tried to push it to the back of her mind
'No we're not going to go there. Not now. You can't ruin this moment.'
'Who's ruining. I'm cheering.'
She ignored her mind from that moment on and focused her senses on the kiss. She'd decided to let things ride out. If something happened it was because it was meant to be. Besides this was her fiancée. She could show her affection for him anyway she wanted now.
'I'm taking this too far.' Syaoran said to himself as the kiss progressed and became even more passionate than usual.
'No flow with it. She's not pushing you away yet. See how far we can get.'
'No I don't want to push her.'
'Don't be so stupid. She's responding to your every touch. If she didn't want this she'd have pushed you away.'
His inner mind did have a point there. She hadn't pushed him away yet but still.
"Sakura. Stop. It's… It's too much." He panted when he broke the kiss.
"What's wrong?" He looked into her eyes as she trembled from the passionate kiss.
"We can't." He simply said. He was denying himself and her but he couldn't. Could he?
"Why?" Her voice pleaded. Something in her had broken and she didn't want to be naïve anymore. She knew exactly how to show her affection for him and he was now telling her to stop.
"I can't. I want to but I don't want to force you." He said. Trying to explain his predicament.
She smiled at him and drew him into another kiss. The way he treated her made her love him that much more.
"You won't," She whispered.
She seized his lips again and silenced him before anything else could be said. Those were the last words spoken before dawn.

Eriol woke up suddenly when he felt a serge of auras. He got out of his bed and walked over to the window. It was light outside. He checked his watch. Five thirty five. Too early for anyone to be up yet. Not even those who trained got up yet. Usually seven.
'Why did that feel so strong?' He pondered in his mind. It was as if something was merging. Not only that though. Something was happening and he couldn't figure it out.
"Grrr, you're the reincarnation of Clow Reed. You should know this. Where have you felt this kind of thing before?"
He thought through his knowledge of auras and magic. The only thing he could come up with was a merging of two souls. Who's? Could be anyone with magic. Could it be?
"No Eriol. Your little descendent would never do something like that. He's too shy. Besides Sakura doesn't even know about that stuff other than what goes on at school." He reasoned and got back into bed. "I'm thinking too hard."
He stayed awake. Something very powerful was going on and it didn't feel evil. It felt familiar though.
"Well it can't be Sakura and Li. They wouldn't do that kind of thing. Probably someone else. Lots of the people here have magic I shouldn't be surprised about it." He said out loud. Luckily for him none of the guardians stayed in his room.
Nakuru, Kero and Suppi had been given their own room. Yelen had insisted saying that the guardians needed their own space and didn't need to be cramped up with their masters. He had been very grateful for that since Nakuru snored.
'Why did I create her anyway?' He asked himself. He sighed and got comfortable on his bed. This whole lacking sleep because of his cute little descendant's son had been getting to him. Yan Tao had been crying a lot at night and tonight he'd only cried twice. He thanked the gods.
'I shouldn't complain. My poor descendent and my half daughter have it worse. They have to get up and take care of the doll.' He said. 'I am impressed at how realistic this school makes this assignment.'
His small frown turned into a sneaky smile. When he'd gotten to Hong Kong he'd asked Sakura about this whole assignment. It seemed very simple at the time. Now it just bordered on real.
"I wonder if at the end of all this I should tell them that I had a little hand at making this assignment interesting?" He said evilly. (Everything I do I do with reason. I know it seemed a little too extreme but anything can happen when Eriol is under my command.)
He'd had a talk with the teacher the day of the mock weddings. That he had nothing to do with. The teacher was a bit obsessed with making things exciting just as his dear Tomoyo.
She'd told him about the rest of the assignment and of how the new computers were up. After talking to Yuki he'd convinced her and the teacher to make things more convincing so that the students would know what it was really like to be a family.
Tomoyo was also in on his little plan. It was basically to torture his descendent. Sure they were friends now but he couldn't help himself. He had to be evil. Tomoyo had jumped at the idea and said something about kawaii moments of her Sakura.
Yuki seemed just as excited. For herself and the rest of her class. After explaining to her that it was to torment Syaoran she'd just laughed and agreed to help. Since her father worked as a doctor it was easy to get access to certain 'things'
Besides the reality they were experiencing would prepare them for their own wedding that would happen late next year. Syaoran would have never asked Sakura so soon if he hadn't had a taste of what it would be like to have the real deal.
Eriol may be evil but he always had a reason behind his actions. Sakura was a powerful sorceress and Syaoran was just as good. Though he didn't hold the cards. Sakura did. She would fall victim to any force of evil that desired her and the cards. Syaoran her love and defender could keep her safe. Though to do that he'd need to have some claim on her.
Being boyfriend and girlfriend wasn't enough. That kind of relationship can end if dark forces want it to, but marriage. That's different. Marriage is a bond in front of your family, your friends and most importantly, Kami. Once a marriage was sacramental it was sealed. Things like that were much harder to break and the magic becomes much stronger.
Though divorces were much more common these days it was still hard to break a marriage bond. It's more painful. Harder to accept. You tend to forget your vows and your pledge to be with one another. Though in the eyes of the gods you are still bonded.
Syaoran was now engaged to Sakura and it was good. They loved each other and it was time for them to settle down.
'Their not even older than you.' His inner mind protested.
'In the past they would have been too old.' He counted.
'Well then why not ask Tomoyo?' That made Eriol blush. He could play an excellent matchmaker and create marriage situations but for his own love life. It was a little more complicated.
"Maybe. Soon I'll ask her. Once I find the right time." He spoke softly. The evil smile turned into a tender one. He loved Tomoyo greatly and he wanted to ask her he was just nervous. "I guess this is what Syaoran felt. Maybe I can…"
He stopped when he felt that energy merge again. It felt stronger this time. It also had a hint of something else.
It was an aura. Faint yet very strong. It felt familiar but also strange. He didn't know it but at the same time he'd known it for a very long time. It was a light shade of gold. Eriol didn't know anyone who had gold aura.
Sakura had pink, Syaoran had green, Tomoyo had a purplish aura and Meilin had a red aura. Yelen and her daughters didn't have gold aura. Who then?
"This aura is new. Who's could it be? Maybe someone is planning to…" He stopped mid sentence when he heard a little knock on his door. He got up and opened the door. Floating in the air was Kero and Suppi.
"What's wrong?" He asked. They both looked a little disturbed.
"Well two things. Did you feel that aura?" Kero said as they went back into his room. Eriol nodded. "And Nakuru snores louder than me and Suppi put together. Can we sleep here tonight?"
Eriol smiled at the guardians. "It's almost time to get up anyway. We might as well discuss the new aura. Kero why didn't you go to Sakura's room?"
"I was going to but I thought against it. She has her kid to take care of tonight. Tomorrow the gaki gets it so I can sleep in there but I doubt I'd be able to sleep with him crying."
"Master. Have you any ideas about what this new aura is?" Suppi asked sitting on the bed.
"No. It feels familiar though. As if I've felt it before but I don't recognize it." He frowned in concentration. It was definitely close by but it didn't feel dangerous.
"Maybe it's just someone passing by. I mean it don't feel like a threat. It feels kind of warm and bouncy actually." Kero said.
Suppi and Eriol noticed that he was right. It felt bubbly. Like a little child's aura. Too innocent to understand the cruelty of the world. Only caring to play and learn.
"Yes. You're right Keroberus. It feels like a child's aura." Suppi said. They stayed silent for a while till there was a knock on the window. Eriol got up and opened it.
"Hello Yue." He greeted with a smile. Yue nodded his greeting and Eriol closed the window. "I suppose you felt it too."
"Yes. It is a strong aura. Though the mistress's brother did not feel it." He said calmly. Eriol smiled knowingly.
"He wouldn't. It seems to be hiding itself from certain people. It's doing it very well too. It keeps coming and going. I would have expected the whole house to have felt it and be running around but I hear nothing. Not even Sakura or Syaoran felt it. They would have come for me by now."
"Maybe we should go talk to them." Kero said. He was a little worried that his mistress hadn't felt the aura. He suddenly felt a vibe from Sakura's room. She was happy. "Oh scratch that. I think she's finally getting some decent sleep. She feels content."
"I agree Keroberus. The mistress seems at peace. I did not want to disturb her." Yue said calmly.
"Sigh. We'll talk to them later. I think they both need their sleep as do we. Though we need to get ready for some training. Are you staying Yue?" Eriol said facing the guardian once again.
"Yes." Was his only answer. Eriol sighed again. This would be a very long day.
***
"Mmmm." Sakura mumbled as she stretched in her bed. She reached over for Syaoran but only found a note and two roses. One white the other red in his place. She picked them up and read what he'd written.
'No regrets and I will see you later. I left because Tomoyo usually comes to wake you up. Wouldn't want her to see me there. I took Yan so you can sleep a little longer.
Love
Xiao Lang.'
She smiled at the note and then started to giggle. Grabbing a pillow she sighed contently. She was very content and had no regrets in her mind.
'See was that so hard?' Her mind said coolly.
'I guess not.' She replied dreamily.
'Told you so.' Said the sing song voice of her mind. 'Now sleep. I'm tired.'
With another giggle she laid back in her bed and drifted off into dream land. She ignored the distant tug of a new presence. Something that was very close to her now. She also ignored the soft call of the sakura cards.
The book was floating in the air and was glowing a soft pink and a forest green. It was spinning around as it glowed and each card came out and surrounded their mistress. Her aura glowed and suddenly the gold the others had felt in the other room surrounded the room.
It went away quickly. The cards noticed it though. They now floated happily in the air surrounding their mistress.
The sun seeped through the room and the cards returned to their book. It too had changed. It was still the pink it used to be but it was bordered with forest green.
Each card now had that green border and the star at the back of each card also had a full moon on it.
Sakura trembled a little after the incident but continued to sleep oblivious to what had happened. She was too busy dreaming.
***
"Xiao Lang?" Meilin said when she saw her cousin in the training room. Even for him it was early. It wasn't even six yet.
"Hi Meilin." He said. His tone was relaxed and peaceful. Yan was in his carrier on one of the benches close to his 'father.'
"Are you ok? You seem a little I don't know different." She commented. He wasn't smiling but there was definitely something different about him.
"Nope. Just feel relaxed that's all." He said as he practiced his sword.
"I see that. Are you sure you're okay?" She said eyeing him. He wasn't acting normal.
"I'm fine Meilin. Do you want to practice?" He said offering an extra sword. She nodded and took the sword form him and went into fighting stance.
As they began to fight Eriol, Kero, Suppi, Yue and Tomoyo came in to train or watch. Yue stood to the side and watched Syaoran and Meilin duel. Not aware of the strange feeling inside of him. He felt something.
"You ok Yue?" Tomoyo asked turning her attention away from the fight. He nodded but kept fidgeting.
Something was happening. It was a very slow thing though. Kero was feeling it too. It was something that was gradually happening. A strange sensation that they hadn't felt before. Not even when Clow Reed was their master.
"Kero, Yue?" Tomoyo asked both of them now. Thy looked a little, uneasy. "Are you sure your both alright. You've been acting this was since we met up this morning."
"I don't know Tomoyo. I feel a little strange. It's not painful or anything it just feels different." Kero said. Syaoran and Meilin had stopped fighting and everyone was now looking at the two guardians.
Suddenly Yue's charm started to change. It was a very faint signal but everyone noticed it. It went back to its original color but for a moment everyone saw a flash of green.
"Well that was weird." Meilin said when everyone got over the shock. Kero changed into his true form and the same thing happened. It was so faint that the reaction lasted less than two seconds but it was enough to startle everyone.
"Oh Kami. I'm going to die aren't I?" Kero wailed when he changed back. He was hysterical.
"Keroberus calm yourself. We will not die." Yue said patiently.
"Oh come on. What's happening to us then? It has to be that. It can't be anything else." He started to cry. Yue just sighed suddenly bored.
Yan began to cry and Syaoran picked him up and put his key in his back and kept him in his arms with a little bit of awe in him.
Everyone noticed this and looked at him strangely.
"Getting a little attached aren't we my cute little descendent." Eriol teased. Blushing he placed the doll back in its carrier.
"Um, yeah."
"How kawaii!" Tomoyo squealed. Sakura was also getting attached to the doll and confined in her about giving it back.
"Tomoyo dear, I think we have something else to worry about other than Xiao Lang's new attachment to his son." Eriol said. Syaoran glared.
"Oh right Yue and Kero."
"Yes Yue and Kero. We're dying. You don't care do you?" Kero exclaimed. Everyone sweatdroped at the little guardian.
"Maybe we should talk to Sakura. Maybe it's just something different." Meilin offered. Syaoran stiffened slightly.
"No. She's still asleep." He said quietly. When he'd left her room she was definitely asleep.
"How do you know that?" Kero said. Suppi floated next the guardian beast of the seal with his eyebrow raised. Clow's descendent was acting a little strange.
"I went to get Yan. She was asleep." He muttered quickly. The excuse worked and everyone let it drop.
"Well ok then lets see if we can figure this out on our own." Tomoyo said and they all sat down to think.
An hour later Sakura walked in looking as cheerful as ever. Everyone except Syaoran was surprised at her mood change. She'd been a little down the last few days about the assignment being almost over.
"Sakura are you ok?" Tomoyo said walking up to her friend. She touched her forehead. Sakura giggled.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
"You look well cheerier than usual." Meilin said. It was true. Her smile was so bright that it shone through the room.
"No cheerier than usual." She said. She smiled sweetly at Syaoran. He returned it knowingly and then remembered the situation.
"Sakura have you sensed anything different?" Eriol asked. She looked at him puzzled.
"No, why?" She asked. Before anyone could answer Yue's charm glowed a dark forest green and then pink. It then changed to a mix of the two colors then back to the color he usually had. "Ok that was really weird."
No one spoke for a moment after that. Eriol's mind was working through a solution.
'Yue's and Kero's charms are changing colors. Sakura seems a lot more genki than usual. Syaoran is acting 'strange' What's going on?'
Suddenly his head snapped up. He looked at Kero. Then at Yue. Then at Sakura and lastly at Syaoran. The puzzle started to solve itself in his mind. The merge of auras he'd felt earlier. The color changes. Sakura was pink. Syaoran was…
'Oh my.' He whispered in his head. 'So I'm guessing my cute little descendent isn't so shy and Sakura isn't so dense.'
"Eriol are you ok?" Tomoyo was freaking out. Everyone was acting strange today.
"Fine Love. I think I've solved the problem. Yue, Kero. Don't worry. You're not dying." He assured. Kero let out a sigh of relief and Sakura walked up to him and gave him a hug to calm him some more.
"See Kero. Nothing to worry about. It's just something else. Isn't it Eriol?" She said looking up at the sorcerer.
He looked at her then lowered his head and snickered. Everyone looked at him as if he'd gone mad and that just made him laugh harder.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo was really anxious now. She'd never heard him laugh this way.
"Master?" Suppi asked floating over to his master who was laughing so hard that he was turning a light shade of blue from lack of oxygen.
"That's it he's lost it." Meilin said. No one else had figured it out. Those without magic couldn't possibly put the aura and the strange behaviors together. The guardians didn't know any better. He on the other hand had the upper hand on both cases.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" Syaoran asked a little annoyed. Eriol couldn't stop laughing and had to sit down to calm himself.
Eriol gave him a look that said. 'I-know–what-you-did.' It took Syaoran a minute to understand the look but once he did he turned a bright red.
"Xiao Lang are you ok?" Sakura asked placing her hand on his forehead. This of course made him blush even harder like he did back in elementary school.
"I-I'm fine." He stuttered. His face was a bright tomato and Eriol snickered again.
"He's fine Sakura and so is everything else. It just seems that you and Syaoran are now both masters of the cards." He said without giving away the little secret.
"HOW?" Tomoyo, Meilin, Sakura and Kero yelled. Yue looked at the reincarnation of his former master curiously. Syaoran blushed even harder and Suppi just looked bored.
"Oh I don't know. Auras merging. Wouldn't know how. Maybe the relationship reached a new level and it caused them to fuse. Could be anything really." He said.
Sakura stayed silent for a minute and then gave a loud 'Hoe' when she realized what he meant. He knew.
"Are you alright Sakura?" Tomoyo and Meilin asked. She nodded dumbly and Eriol gave her 'I won't say a word' kind of look and she relaxed.
'He knows.'
'So? He won't say anything. No one else knows. Besides it was worth it.' Her mind said proudly.
'SHUT UP.'
'Again with the shutting up.'
Sitting down she pondered what she could say. Everyone had calmed down about the whole card deal and they were now discussing what they were going to tell the elders and Yelen.
"Sakura. Are you ok?" Syaoran whispered from beside her. She nodded and her eyes brightened at the look of concern he gave her. She needed to talk to him. His note said no regrets but she needed to be sure.
"Yeah. I think I'm hungry. Come with me to get some food?" He smiled a little and nodded. They got up and taking Yan they left the room. The others were about to follow when Eriol stopped them.
"Maybe we should train a little before we eat." He suggested diplomatically. The others reluctantly agreed and let the two card captors go.
***
"Sakura are you really ok? I mean you looked a little tired." He said with a blush.
"I'm a little sore but I'm good." She said just as softly. He entwined their fingers as they walked through the garden where he had proposed.
"Xiao Lang."
"Sakura." They both said at the same time. Sakura smiled and stopped waling.
"You first." She said. He took a deep breath.
"Do you regret it?" He asked her sincerely.
"No. I don't. I loved all of it even when it hurt and I will never regret it." She said firmly. "What about you?"
"Never. It was the most amazing feeling I've ever had. I felt free with you." He said calmly. She hugged him and inhaled his intoxicating scent.
"Eriol knows." She mumbled. He chuckled and held her just as tightly.
"Yeah. It's ok though. If he knows what's good for him he'll keep his mouth shut." They continued to walk and came to the fountain.
"So when you and I, you know. We changed the cards." Sakura said shyly. Her boldness which had driven her earlier was temporally our of service.
"Um. Yeah." He found that he was just as shy. It had been new. Something intimate and he'd shared it with the only woman he could ever be in love with.
"I had a quick glance at them this morning but I was so preoccupied that it didn't pass through my mind that they were any different. Pretty careless of me wasn't it?"
"A little but I wasn't any better. I should have felt something. I didn't though all I could think about was you. It's all I wanted to think about."
"You were right. I don't deserve to be a card captor." Her tone was saddened. She'd been so preoccupied she'd missed something so important. Syaoran was shocked by her words and stopped her from working and held her shoulders.
"Don't you ever say that again. Back then I was the fool who didn't know any better. I was the baka, not you. If you ever say that you were worthless at card capting then I'll be forced to chain you up and drill it through your head that you are an angel sent from heaven."
Her frown became a small smile that was accompanied by grateful tears. He meant each word he said. He'd hurt her back then when they were kids but he'd changed so much since then.
"Wo Ai No little wolf." She said in Chinese.
"Wo Ai No my cherry blossom." They leaned in for a kiss when Yan began to cry. With a giggle Sakura placed her key into his back and ceased his crying.
"I'm going to miss him when we have to give him back." Sakura said. Syaoran chuckled and hugged her and his 'son'.
"Believe it or not I will too. Kind of got attached." He said with an impish grin. She returned it with one of her own.
"When we have our own. It will be even better." She whispered and she kissed him feverishly. He returned it eagerly and they stayed that way until their friends came to find them because Sakura's dad was here with Touya to talk about the engagement.
"Time to face the music." He muttered. She giggled and stayed close to him.
"Don't worry. Onii-chan won't try anything." She assured.
"Pray he doesn't find out about you know what or he WILL not only kill me hell torture me very slowly."
"Pessimist."
"I have reason to be."
"He won't do anything." She reassured as they walked in for breakfast. Everyone was waiting for them. Including a smiling Fujitaka and a fuming Touya who looked about ready to assassinate the Chinese warrior.
"You were saying?" Syaoran whispered when they saw Touya.
"Well, he might try something." She said sweatdroping and taking her place at the table.
"Well I believe we have some business to take care of." Yelen said as they began to eat. Touya looked even madder.
'This is going to be a LONG day.' Syaoran thought.
***
Phew. Finished. One more chapter to go. Actually I might… no I'll leave it for a sequel. If I make a sequel. Let me know if you want one cause that way I can arrange the way I write.
See so far it's not an R. It's still pg-13 with a bit of evilness to it. I can't write anything extremely provocative. That's just out of my league at the moment.
Anyway. Review please.
Ja minna.
Kang
Someone asked if I could do a sequel to this but mates we ain't done yet. I will probably write a sequel to it but this is the second last chapter.

'WAAAAAAA" The noise of a baby's cry woke Sakura from her pleasant dream. The term was almost over and her assignment was almost due. It was her turn to take care of Yan and he had decided to cry at two in the morning.
With a small sigh she got up and walked to his crib cooing softly to her 'son.' She took her key and put it into his back. It stopped him crying and she decided to rock him for a few minute. She knew it wouldn't do anything but she had gotten into the habit of doing it.
"I see you handled it." A deep masculine voice said from her door. She turned around to see Syaoran leaning against he door frame in a black t- shirt and his boxer shorts. (Watches as girls all drool)
"Yeah. Second time tonight. New record." She whispered back as not to wake anyone in the house.
He smiled at her and walked over to her bed sitting down. She giggled softly and walked up to him with Yen in her arms.
"You want to hold him?" She offered the baby to her fiancée. She smiled at the thought. He was HER fiancé.
"Yeah." He held out his hands and accepted the baby. He'd actually become attached to the doll and it was a little scary. (You do get attached. It's frustrating when you get that bond with a doll. It's hard to break cause you give the object aura. You ever had a comfort blankets? It's the same thing.)
He made himself comfortable on the bed and Sakura sat next to him. She played with his unruly hair and kissed behind his ear. He gave a little grunt in pleasure and Sakura giggled.
"You enjoy that." She teased. Ever since the engagement she'd become a lot bolder. Even more than she was before. Giving him these kind of pampering touches that made him melt.
"Uh hu." He sighed as she got behind him and massaged his tense muscles.
He'd been training a lot lately and it made him extremely tense. Sakura loved doing this for him. He melted under her ministration and would become completely slack. He would occasionally make small noises of satisfaction when she pressed her fingers against a sore spot.
"Hmm. There. Yeah that's the spot." He groaned when she pressed her palms against his shoulder blades. "Remind me again where you learned this my Ying Fa."
"Put Yan down and I'll tell you." She whispered in his ear. He obeyed her request and set the baby back in its crib. He then proceeded to sit back down on the bed but Sakura forced him to lie on his stomach.
"What are you doing?" He asked as she placed one of her pillows on his rump and proceeded to sit on it.
"You're still too tense." She explained as she rubbed her palms against his back. He let out a soft purr. He rarely did that but Sakura loved it when he did.
"You're so cute when I do this to you." She whispered and started to bite the back of his neck gently. That earned her some more purring and groaning.
She continued to move her hands up and down his back in circles. He moaned and felt every muscle in his body go limp under her palms. It was amazing the effect she had over him. She would always give him these massages to release his tension and Kami knew it worked.
Sakura giggled quietly as he fell limp on her bed. He had been extremely tense lately.
"Otou-san will be coming over tomorrow. About the engagement." She whispered as she got up. He turned onto his back and watched as she walked over and locked her door.
"Yeah, I'm dreading it since Touya will be here too. I hope I don't get killed like I almost did three weeks ago." He chuckled and reached out for her.
"First he burst into tears when he saw Yan Tao and then he tried to strangle you and drown you to death in the pool when he saw the ring." Sakura remembered. Who couldn't? Touya had to be tied up.
"Yeah. Not a fun experience." He grumbled. Sakura gave him a little pout. The ones that says 'I'm-so-cute-and-irresistible-and-if-you-don't- kiss-me-in-the-next-five-seconds-I'll-cry.'
Happy to comply to her silent pleas he pulled her on top of him and warmed his lips with hers. He started out slow. Tender. Just light kisses on her lips until she was comfortably straddling him.
"You definitely are bolder." He teased once they pulled apart. He had his hands on the small of her back holding her close.
"Well I couldn't stay dense all my life could I?" She said smugly. He chuckled a little and laid back on the bed.
"You were kind of dense when we were kids." He taunted. She playfully slapped him and pouted.
"Mou, You're supposed to be nice to me. I'm the mother of your child and your wife." She stopped and giggled at the look on his face. "What?"
"I like the way that sounds. Mother of MY child and MY wife." He emphasized the word 'my'.
"Does that please your male ego?" She cooed as if talking to a small child. He growled and flipped her onto her back with him now straddling her hips.
"Very much." He said huskily and kissed her passionately.
She giggled when his hands ran up her hips in a tickling motion. (I'm ticklish only around my hips and waist and I once chocked cause I stopped breathing from laughing so much.)
"You really are just a big softy under all that warrior reputation you give yourself, " she said with a bright smile.
"Don't tell anyone though." He whispered tenderly in her ear. He would never allow anyone else to do what she did to him.
"Wouldn't dream of it. If they knew what you can really be I'd loose you to a swarm of women. Not that you don't get it already but at least I am there." She said in her cute tone of voice.
"You never have to worry about that. I wouldn't have anyone else." He kissed her again and she wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him painfully close to her.
'You go girl.' Her mind cheered as the kiss progressed. She tried to push it to the back of her mind
'No we're not going to go there. Not now. You can't ruin this moment.'
'Who's ruining. I'm cheering.'
She ignored her mind from that moment on and focused her senses on the kiss. She'd decided to let things ride out. If something happened it was because it was meant to be. Besides this was her fiancée. She could show her affection for him anyway she wanted now.
'I'm taking this too far.' Syaoran said to himself as the kiss progressed and became even more passionate than usual.
'No flow with it. She's not pushing you away yet. See how far we can get.'
'No I don't want to push her.'
'Don't be so stupid. She's responding to your every touch. If she didn't want this she'd have pushed you away.'
His inner mind did have a point there. She hadn't pushed him away yet but still.
"Sakura. Stop. It's… It's too much." He panted when he broke the kiss.
"What's wrong?" He looked into her eyes as she trembled from the passionate kiss.
"We can't." He simply said. He was denying himself and her but he couldn't. Could he?
"Why?" Her voice pleaded. Something in her had broken and she didn't want to be naïve anymore. She knew exactly how to show her affection for him and he was now telling her to stop.
"I can't. I want to but I don't want to force you." He said. Trying to explain his predicament.
She smiled at him and drew him into another kiss. The way he treated her made her love him that much more.
"You won't," She whispered.
She seized his lips again and silenced him before anything else could be said. Those were the last words spoken before dawn.
***
Eriol woke up suddenly when he felt a serge of auras. He got out of his bed and walked over to the window. It was light outside. He checked his watch. Five thirty five. Too early for anyone to be up yet. Not even those who trained got up yet. Usually seven.
'Why did that feel so strong?' He pondered in his mind. It was as if something was merging. Not only that though. Something was happening and he couldn't figure it out.
"Grrr, you're the reincarnation of Clow Reed. You should know this. Where have you felt this kind of thing before?"
He thought through his knowledge of auras and magic. The only thing he could come up with was a merging of two souls. Who's? Could be anyone with magic. Could it be?
"No Eriol. Your little descendent would never do something like that. He's too shy. Besides Sakura doesn't even know about that stuff other than what goes on at school." He reasoned and got back into bed. "I'm thinking too hard."
He stayed awake. Something very powerful was going on and it didn't feel evil. It felt familiar though.
"Well it can't be Sakura and Li. They wouldn't do that kind of thing. Probably someone else. Lots of the people here have magic I shouldn't be surprised about it." He said out loud. Luckily for him none of the guardians stayed in his room.
Nakuru, Kero and Suppi had been given their own room. Yelen had insisted saying that the guardians needed their own space and didn't need to be cramped up with their masters. He had been very grateful for that since Nakuru snored.
'Why did I create her anyway?' He asked himself. He sighed and got comfortable on his bed. This whole lacking sleep because of his cute little descendant's son had been getting to him. Yan Tao had been crying a lot at night and tonight he'd only cried twice. He thanked the gods.
'I shouldn't complain. My poor descendent and my half daughter have it worse. They have to get up and take care of the doll.' He said. 'I am impressed at how realistic this school makes this assignment.'
His small frown turned into a sneaky smile. When he'd gotten to Hong Kong he'd asked Sakura about this whole assignment. It seemed very simple at the time. Now it just bordered on real.
"I wonder if at the end of all this I should tell them that I had a little hand at making this assignment interesting?" He said evilly. (Everything I do I do with reason. I know it seemed a little too extreme but anything can happen when Eriol is under my command.)
He'd had a talk with the teacher the day of the mock weddings. That he had nothing to do with. The teacher was a bit obsessed with making things exciting just as his dear Tomoyo.
She'd told him about the rest of the assignment and of how the new computers were up. After talking to Yuki he'd convinced her and the teacher to make things more convincing so that the students would know what it was really like to be a family.
Tomoyo was also in on his little plan. It was basically to torture his descendent. Sure they were friends now but he couldn't help himself. He had to be evil. Tomoyo had jumped at the idea and said something about kawaii moments of her Sakura.
Yuki seemed just as excited. For herself and the rest of her class. After explaining to her that it was to torment Syaoran she'd just laughed and agreed to help. Since her father worked as a doctor it was easy to get access to certain 'things'
Besides the reality they were experiencing would prepare them for their own wedding that would happen late next year. Syaoran would have never asked Sakura so soon if he hadn't had a taste of what it would be like to have the real deal.
Eriol may be evil but he always had a reason behind his actions. Sakura was a powerful sorceress and Syaoran was just as good. Though he didn't hold the cards. Sakura did. She would fall victim to any force of evil that desired her and the cards. Syaoran her love and defender could keep her safe. Though to do that he'd need to have some claim on her.
Being boyfriend and girlfriend wasn't enough. That kind of relationship can end if dark forces want it to, but marriage. That's different. Marriage is a bond in front of your family, your friends and most importantly, Kami. Once a marriage was sacramental it was sealed. Things like that were much harder to break and the magic becomes much stronger.
Though divorces were much more common these days it was still hard to break a marriage bond. It's more painful. Harder to accept. You tend to forget your vows and your pledge to be with one another. Though in the eyes of the gods you are still bonded.
Syaoran was now engaged to Sakura and it was good. They loved each other and it was time for them to settle down.
'Their not even older than you.' His inner mind protested.
'In the past they would have been too old.' He counted.
'Well then why not ask Tomoyo?' That made Eriol blush. He could play an excellent matchmaker and create marriage situations but for his own love life. It was a little more complicated.
"Maybe. Soon I'll ask her. Once I find the right time." He spoke softly. The evil smile turned into a tender one. He loved Tomoyo greatly and he wanted to ask her he was just nervous. "I guess this is what Syaoran felt. Maybe I can…"
He stopped when he felt that energy merge again. It felt stronger this time. It also had a hint of something else.
It was an aura. Faint yet very strong. It felt familiar but also strange. He didn't know it but at the same time he'd known it for a very long time. It was a light shade of gold. Eriol didn't know anyone who had gold aura.
Sakura had pink, Syaoran had green, Tomoyo had a purplish aura and Meilin had a red aura. Yelen and her daughters didn't have gold aura. Who then?
"This aura is new. Who's could it be? Maybe someone is planning to…" He stopped mid sentence when he heard a little knock on his door. He got up and opened the door. Floating in the air was Kero and Suppi.
"What's wrong?" He asked. They both looked a little disturbed.
"Well two things. Did you feel that aura?" Kero said as they went back into his room. Eriol nodded. "And Nakuru snores louder than me and Suppi put together. Can we sleep here tonight?"
Eriol smiled at the guardians. "It's almost time to get up anyway. We might as well discuss the new aura. Kero why didn't you go to Sakura's room?"
"I was going to but I thought against it. She has her kid to take care of tonight. Tomorrow the gaki gets it so I can sleep in there but I doubt I'd be able to sleep with him crying."
"Master. Have you any ideas about what this new aura is?" Suppi asked sitting on the bed.
"No. It feels familiar though. As if I've felt it before but I don't recognize it." He frowned in concentration. It was definitely close by but it didn't feel dangerous.
"Maybe it's just someone passing by. I mean it don't feel like a threat. It feels kind of warm and bouncy actually." Kero said.
Suppi and Eriol noticed that he was right. It felt bubbly. Like a little child's aura. Too innocent to understand the cruelty of the world. Only caring to play and learn.
"Yes. You're right Keroberus. It feels like a child's aura." Suppi said. They stayed silent for a while till there was a knock on the window. Eriol got up and opened it.
"Hello Yue." He greeted with a smile. Yue nodded his greeting and Eriol closed the window. "I suppose you felt it too."
"Yes. It is a strong aura. Though the mistress's brother did not feel it." He said calmly. Eriol smiled knowingly.
"He wouldn't. It seems to be hiding itself from certain people. It's doing it very well too. It keeps coming and going. I would have expected the whole house to have felt it and be running around but I hear nothing. Not even Sakura or Syaoran felt it. They would have come for me by now."
"Maybe we should go talk to them." Kero said. He was a little worried that his mistress hadn't felt the aura. He suddenly felt a vibe from Sakura's room. She was happy. "Oh scratch that. I think she's finally getting some decent sleep. She feels content."
"I agree Keroberus. The mistress seems at peace. I did not want to disturb her." Yue said calmly.
"Sigh. We'll talk to them later. I think they both need their sleep as do we. Though we need to get ready for some training. Are you staying Yue?" Eriol said facing the guardian once again.
"Yes." Was his only answer. Eriol sighed again. This would be a very long day.
***
"Mmmm." Sakura mumbled as she stretched in her bed. She reached over for Syaoran but only found a note and two roses. One white the other red in his place. She picked them up and read what he'd written.
'No regrets and I will see you later. I left because Tomoyo usually comes to wake you up. Wouldn't want her to see me there. I took Yan so you can sleep a little longer.
Love
Xiao Lang.'
She smiled at the note and then started to giggle. Grabbing a pillow she sighed contently. She was very content and had no regrets in her mind.
'See was that so hard?' Her mind said coolly.
'I guess not.' She replied dreamily.
'Told you so.' Said the sing song voice of her mind. 'Now sleep. I'm tired.'
With another giggle she laid back in her bed and drifted off into dream land. She ignored the distant tug of a new presence. Something that was very close to her now. She also ignored the soft call of the sakura cards.
The book was floating in the air and was glowing a soft pink and a forest green. It was spinning around as it glowed and each card came out and surrounded their mistress. Her aura glowed and suddenly the gold the others had felt in the other room surrounded the room.
It went away quickly. The cards noticed it though. They now floated happily in the air surrounding their mistress.
The sun seeped through the room and the cards returned to their book. It too had changed. It was still the pink it used to be but it was bordered with forest green.
Each card now had that green border and the star at the back of each card also had a full moon on it.
Sakura trembled a little after the incident but continued to sleep oblivious to what had happened. She was too busy dreaming.
***
"Xiao Lang?" Meilin said when she saw her cousin in the training room. Even for him it was early. It wasn't even six yet.
"Hi Meilin." He said. His tone was relaxed and peaceful. Yan was in his carrier on one of the benches close to his 'father.'
"Are you ok? You seem a little I don't know different." She commented. He wasn't smiling but there was definitely something different about him.
"Nope. Just feel relaxed that's all." He said as he practiced his sword.
"I see that. Are you sure you're okay?" She said eyeing him. He wasn't acting normal.
"I'm fine Meilin. Do you want to practice?" He said offering an extra sword. She nodded and took the sword form him and went into fighting stance.
As they began to fight Eriol, Kero, Suppi, Yue and Tomoyo came in to train or watch. Yue stood to the side and watched Syaoran and Meilin duel. Not aware of the strange feeling inside of him. He felt something.
"You ok Yue?" Tomoyo asked turning her attention away from the fight. He nodded but kept fidgeting.
Something was happening. It was a very slow thing though. Kero was feeling it too. It was something that was gradually happening. A strange sensation that they hadn't felt before. Not even when Clow Reed was their master.
"Kero, Yue?" Tomoyo asked both of them now. Thy looked a little, uneasy. "Are you sure your both alright. You've been acting this was since we met up this morning."
"I don't know Tomoyo. I feel a little strange. It's not painful or anything it just feels different." Kero said. Syaoran and Meilin had stopped fighting and everyone was now looking at the two guardians.
Suddenly Yue's charm started to change. It was a very faint signal but everyone noticed it. It went back to its original color but for a moment everyone saw a flash of green.
"Well that was weird." Meilin said when everyone got over the shock. Kero changed into his true form and the same thing happened. It was so faint that the reaction lasted less than two seconds but it was enough to startle everyone.
"Oh Kami. I'm going to die aren't I?" Kero wailed when he changed back. He was hysterical.
"Keroberus calm yourself. We will not die." Yue said patiently.
"Oh come on. What's happening to us then? It has to be that. It can't be anything else." He started to cry. Yue just sighed suddenly bored.
Yan began to cry and Syaoran picked him up and put his key in his back and kept him in his arms with a little bit of awe in him.
Everyone noticed this and looked at him strangely.
"Getting a little attached aren't we my cute little descendent." Eriol teased. Blushing he placed the doll back in its carrier.
"Um, yeah."
"How kawaii!" Tomoyo squealed. Sakura was also getting attached to the doll and confined in her about giving it back.
"Tomoyo dear, I think we have something else to worry about other than Xiao Lang's new attachment to his son." Eriol said. Syaoran glared.
"Oh right Yue and Kero."
"Yes Yue and Kero. We're dying. You don't care do you?" Kero exclaimed. Everyone sweatdroped at the little guardian.
"Maybe we should talk to Sakura. Maybe it's just something different." Meilin offered. Syaoran stiffened slightly.
"No. She's still asleep." He said quietly. When he'd left her room she was definitely asleep.
"How do you know that?" Kero said. Suppi floated next the guardian beast of the seal with his eyebrow raised. Clow's descendent was acting a little strange.
"I went to get Yan. She was asleep." He muttered quickly. The excuse worked and everyone let it drop.
"Well ok then lets see if we can figure this out on our own." Tomoyo said and they all sat down to think.
An hour later Sakura walked in looking as cheerful as ever. Everyone except Syaoran was surprised at her mood change. She'd been a little down the last few days about the assignment being almost over.
"Sakura are you ok?" Tomoyo said walking up to her friend. She touched her forehead. Sakura giggled.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
"You look well cheerier than usual." Meilin said. It was true. Her smile was so bright that it shone through the room.
"No cheerier than usual." She said. She smiled sweetly at Syaoran. He returned it knowingly and then remembered the situation.
"Sakura have you sensed anything different?" Eriol asked. She looked at him puzzled.
"No, why?" She asked. Before anyone could answer Yue's charm glowed a dark forest green and then pink. It then changed to a mix of the two colors then back to the color he usually had. "Ok that was really weird."
No one spoke for a moment after that. Eriol's mind was working through a solution.
'Yue's and Kero's charms are changing colors. Sakura seems a lot more genki than usual. Syaoran is acting 'strange' What's going on?'
Suddenly his head snapped up. He looked at Kero. Then at Yue. Then at Sakura and lastly at Syaoran. The puzzle started to solve itself in his mind. The merge of auras he'd felt earlier. The color changes. Sakura was pink. Syaoran was…
'Oh my.' He whispered in his head. 'So I'm guessing my cute little descendent isn't so shy and Sakura isn't so dense.'
"Eriol are you ok?" Tomoyo was freaking out. Everyone was acting strange today.
"Fine Love. I think I've solved the problem. Yue, Kero. Don't worry. You're not dying." He assured. Kero let out a sigh of relief and Sakura walked up to him and gave him a hug to calm him some more.
"See Kero. Nothing to worry about. It's just something else. Isn't it Eriol?" She said looking up at the sorcerer.
He looked at her then lowered his head and snickered. Everyone looked at him as if he'd gone mad and that just made him laugh harder.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo was really anxious now. She'd never heard him laugh this way.
"Master?" Suppi asked floating over to his master who was laughing so hard that he was turning a light shade of blue from lack of oxygen.
"That's it he's lost it." Meilin said. No one else had figured it out. Those without magic couldn't possibly put the aura and the strange behaviors together. The guardians didn't know any better. He on the other hand had the upper hand on both cases.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" Syaoran asked a little annoyed. Eriol couldn't stop laughing and had to sit down to calm himself.
Eriol gave him a look that said. 'I-know–what-you-did.' It took Syaoran a minute to understand the look but once he did he turned a bright red.
"Xiao Lang are you ok?" Sakura asked placing her hand on his forehead. This of course made him blush even harder like he did back in elementary school.
"I-I'm fine." He stuttered. His face was a bright tomato and Eriol snickered again.
"He's fine Sakura and so is everything else. It just seems that you and Syaoran are now both masters of the cards." He said without giving away the little secret.
"HOW?" Tomoyo, Meilin, Sakura and Kero yelled. Yue looked at the reincarnation of his former master curiously. Syaoran blushed even harder and Suppi just looked bored.
"Oh I don't know. Auras merging. Wouldn't know how. Maybe the relationship reached a new level and it caused them to fuse. Could be anything really." He said.
Sakura stayed silent for a minute and then gave a loud 'Hoe' when she realized what he meant. He knew.
"Are you alright Sakura?" Tomoyo and Meilin asked. She nodded dumbly and Eriol gave her 'I won't say a word' kind of look and she relaxed.
'He knows.'
'So? He won't say anything. No one else knows. Besides it was worth it.' Her mind said proudly.
'SHUT UP.'
'Again with the shutting up.'
Sitting down she pondered what she could say. Everyone had calmed down about the whole card deal and they were now discussing what they were going to tell the elders and Yelen.
"Sakura. Are you ok?" Syaoran whispered from beside her. She nodded and her eyes brightened at the look of concern he gave her. She needed to talk to him. His note said no regrets but she needed to be sure.
"Yeah. I think I'm hungry. Come with me to get some food?" He smiled a little and nodded. They got up and taking Yan they left the room. The others were about to follow when Eriol stopped them.
"Maybe we should train a little before we eat." He suggested diplomatically. The others reluctantly agreed and let the two card captors go.
***
"Sakura are you really ok? I mean you looked a little tired." He said with a blush.
"I'm a little sore but I'm good." She said just as softly. He entwined their fingers as they walked through the garden where he had proposed.
"Xiao Lang."
"Sakura." They both said at the same time. Sakura smiled and stopped waling.
"You first." She said. He took a deep breath.
"Do you regret it?" He asked her sincerely.
"No. I don't. I loved all of it even when it hurt and I will never regret it." She said firmly. "What about you?"
"Never. It was the most amazing feeling I've ever had. I felt free with you." He said calmly. She hugged him and inhaled his intoxicating scent.
"Eriol knows." She mumbled. He chuckled and held her just as tightly.
"Yeah. It's ok though. If he knows what's good for him he'll keep his mouth shut." They continued to walk and came to the fountain.
"So when you and I, you know. We changed the cards." Sakura said shyly. Her boldness which had driven her earlier was temporally our of service.
"Um. Yeah." He found that he was just as shy. It had been new. Something intimate and he'd shared it with the only woman he could ever be in love with.
"I had a quick glance at them this morning but I was so preoccupied that it didn't pass through my mind that they were any different. Pretty careless of me wasn't it?"
"A little but I wasn't any better. I should have felt something. I didn't though all I could think about was you. It's all I wanted to think about."
"You were right. I don't deserve to be a card captor." Her tone was saddened. She'd been so preoccupied she'd missed something so important. Syaoran was shocked by her words and stopped her from working and held her shoulders.
"Don't you ever say that again. Back then I was the fool who didn't know any better. I was the baka, not you. If you ever say that you were worthless at card capting then I'll be forced to chain you up and drill it through your head that you are an angel sent from heaven."
Her frown became a small smile that was accompanied by grateful tears. He meant each word he said. He'd hurt her back then when they were kids but he'd changed so much since then.
"Wo Ai No little wolf." She said in Chinese.
"Wo Ai No my cherry blossom." They leaned in for a kiss when Yan began to cry. With a giggle Sakura placed her key into his back and ceased his crying.
"I'm going to miss him when we have to give him back." Sakura said. Syaoran chuckled and hugged her and his 'son'.
"Believe it or not I will too. Kind of got attached." He said with an impish grin. She returned it with one of her own.
"When we have our own. It will be even better." She whispered and she kissed him feverishly. He returned it eagerly and they stayed that way until their friends came to find them because Sakura's dad was here with Touya to talk about the engagement.
"Time to face the music." He muttered. She giggled and stayed close to him.
"Don't worry. Onii-chan won't try anything." She assured.
"Pray he doesn't find out about you know what or he WILL not only kill me hell torture me very slowly."
"Pessimist."
"I have reason to be."
"He won't do anything." She reassured as they walked in for breakfast. Everyone was waiting for them. Including a smiling Fujitaka and a fuming Touya who looked about ready to assassinate the Chinese warrior.
"You were saying?" Syaoran whispered when they saw Touya.
"Well, he might try something." She said sweatdroping and taking her place at the table.
"Well I believe we have some business to take care of." Yelen said as they began to eat. Touya looked even madder.
'This is going to be a LONG day.' Syaoran thought.
***
Phew. Finished. One more chapter to go. Actually I might… no I'll leave it for a sequel. If I make a sequel. Let me know if you want one cause that way I can arrange the way I write.
See so far it's not an R. It's still pg-13 with a bit of evilness to it. I can't write anything extremely provocative. That's just out of my league at the moment.
Anyway. Review please.
Ja minna.
