AN: Well here's chapter 7 for you. I'm sorry bout' them cliffhangers. But on with the show!
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Lock Card unlock the vault securing the Clow Cards!" Sakura commanded. The lock did her bidding. The lock was broken. Sakura gingerly picked up the cards and held them to her chest as if to mend her broken heart. She grabbed the Clow book and placed all of her cards but one. The fly. She placed the rest of them in her bag and turned to walk out of the crypt.
"Sakura!" Sakura gasped as she looked at Syaoran.
"Syaoran!"
His face was twisted in pain. "I didn't want to believe it! You Ying Fa, deceive me like this?" There was a sharp harshness in his voice.
"I do what I have to do!" Sakura replied softly.
"Do you?" Syaoran snarled.
Sakura sighed. "These cards caused me to lose my father! When my brother found out about my father's death and about my hobby and it was because of that hobby our father died, he… he… doesn't want anything to do with me. I have no one Syaoran! My mother died soon after I was born. I live in my father's house alone! All alone! What would you know of that? You have four loving sisters, and a mother who loves you dearly! These cards are all I have! They are my life! There all I have left!"
"Please! More of your lies Sakura! Oh that's not your name! Silly me" Syaoran spat.
"Actually your wrong it is!"
Syaoran just snorted in reply.
Sakura's body raged with fury. "If you try to fight me in a battle for the Clow cards you WILL lose! So I suggest you just hurry on back to your FIANCCE!"
Syaoran paled he didn't like the reminding of how her face looked when she had learned Melin was to be his future wife.
Sakura continued on. "Yes I have deceived you and your family but do not be so quick to judge when you have done the same to me!" Sakura's face was wet with tears..
Syoran called out his sword and began a battle position. But it was then he remembered all their wonderful times together and despite the fact that Sakura deceived him he still loved her and didn't have the will nor the desire to hurt her. He threw down the sword in front of Sakura.
"Take the cards and go!"
Sakura gulped at the lump in her throat. She hugged her stomach for strength. "I hope I never see you again Syaoran Li!" Syaoran turned around and saw Sakura call out the fly card and disappear. Out of his life forever.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Sakura's gone! Tell me Syaoran Li you did not let that girl leave this house!" Femei screamed as she entered Syaorans bedroom where he and the rest of the Li children were all sitting.
"Sakura was not the girl we thought she was. She deceived us all." Syaoran hissed.
"You DID! You left her walk out of this house! You fool!" Femei spat.
"Syaoran did what he had to do. He cared for Sakura just as much as you did! He let her leave with the Clow cards because he couldn't find it in his heart to stop her. I know this is hard for you to understand Femei but the Sakura we knew doesn't exisist." Fuutie calmly said.
"She does to! I knew of her deception weeks ago." Femei cursed.
Everyone's eyes turned to her. "You WHAT!" Syaoran growled.
Femei lifted her head in defiance. "You heard Syaoran. She came to me because as you all well know we were quite close."
"You disgrace your family by not telling us you knew of her deceit." Syaoran flung back.
"There was no need for me to tell you! Sakura planned on telling you and the family. She only came to me for aid and because the guilt was eating away at her. She truly did love you Syaoran and she planned on telling you this very night! When she told me her sad tale about the Clow cards I couldn't shame her or judge her for what she had planned to do, when if placed in her shoes I would have done the same." Femei exclaimed.
"This could have been avoided the Clow cards could still be ours and our family would not have this scandal on our name if you had but spoken up about what you knew! Syaoran is right you have disgraced us all!" Shiefa shouted at Femei.
"Don't blame me dear sisters nor little brother! The blame for this shame on our name is all on our Syaoran! For just as Sakura deceived him, he deceived her! If not more then she! He also has brought disgrace to her. Though she herself would not call it that!" Femei said in Sakura's defense.
"How dare you claim such a thing on me!" Syaoran yelled.
"Oh, but I do little brother! You did not tell Sakura of your fiancée! I have no doubt in my mind that is why she left! And the only reason she took the Clow cards with her is because she is the rightful Clow mistress!" Femei replied.
"But that's impossible! Syaoran's destined to be the Clow master! You said so your self." Fanran pointed out.
"Yes that is true! I've also said from the moment I laid eyes on Sakura that her and Syaoran were destined for each other! Syaoran will one day become the Clow master. As for Sakura she captured the cards at the expense of her father being killed by the Fire card and her brother disowning her because he placed the blame of their fathers death on her. She was left alone in this world with only those cards. She proved to me that she was indeed the Clow mistress. Her powers are strong. She already had converted some of the cards to her own and she needs no longer the sealing wand to call upon them."
"Those cards are ours! We are the direct desdents or Clow Reed" Syaoran screamed.
"No, only you in the future can lay claim to them. We stole those cards from the mistress." Fuutie agreed.
"You turn your back against your family, your people, your very CLAN!" Syaoran accused in rage.
"I think we were to harsh on Sakura. It's a shame we'll never see her again. For I shall miss her." Fanran cried softly hardly above a whisper but everyone in the room heard it.
"I can not believe it! You to now Fanran! That woman came in here lied, cheated, and stole from us!" Syaoran shrieked. Femei ignored his complaints and sneered. The look on her face was held with total satisfaction.
"Oh and one more thing little brother! You're just going to LOVE this little bit of information. You know very well how accurate my powers are. And I tell you this! You have humiliated your beloved Ying Fa more then she ever could to you. Sakura not only took with her the Clow cards, but the future hair to Li thrown with her as well."
The room suddenly became very quiet until Fuutie broke the silence.
"Syaoran Li you DIDN'T!!!!! Syaoran did not face her only Femei.
"She bears my child?" He asked.
"Yes. They shall be born in the middle of winter.
"THEY?" The other three sisters asked.
"Syaoran is a soon to be father of twins a boy and a girl." Femei replied in a matter of fact tone.
"Syaoran no wonder the girl left! Her original mission was to take back what was hers, then she falls in love with you, you bed the girl, she carries your children, she is burdened with her deceit and the night she plans to come clean she finds out you have a fiancée! My God! Syaoran what in the hell have you done? That poor girl!" Shiefa cried. Now also taking Sakura's side.
"Syaoran that is the mother of your children! The woman you LOVE! And you treated her like dirt! I don't blame her at all for leaving! Femei is right the shame she has brought to your name is nothing compared to the shame you have bestowed on her when her belly will swell with your children! Do you know what others will BRAND her?" Fuutie asked in rage.
"Syaoran! I know now that you love the girl. You would not have taken her in lust. You have more self-control then that. At least I hope you do, I'm not sure if I know you at this moment. But I know you loved her because you let the girl leave with the Clow cards. I don't deny the fact that she has betrayed you, but the girls are right you have betrayed her as well. You not owe it to yourself and Sakura but to your unborn children to try and forgive her and work things out." Fanran said gently. Other then Femei she was the only sister calm at the moment. She was always an understanding and compassionate person. That's what made Fanran so lovable.
"All I have to say is the honorable thing to do is break off the engagement with Melin, find Sakura, and some how BEG the girl to take you back, and marry her!" Femei sighed.
"What will mother say?" Fuutie asked as she shook her head.
Syaoran's head hung in shame. "She'll never forgive me! I swear I didn't know! It was just one night! One night! Neither one of us could stop it. I swear I just wanted her to see how much I needed her, wanted her, and... and loved her. She became a piece of me and she made me whole. I didn't know! I would have NEVER let her leave if I had known" Syaoran mumbled.
Femei sighed and began to talk to Syaoran. "We all have a fate and destiny Syaoran! We do not judge you or Sakura badly. You did what two people in love do. What we do judge you for is your actions. And it wasn't because of the children did Sakura decide to tell you of her deception, I told her after she had made her confession to me. She loves you dearly Syaoran she will forgive you. It is written in the stars that you are destined to be together. Your Ying Fa shall forgive you and your son will be a great leader to his people. You must believe in that little brother and face your destiny."
"The time to rush after your Ying Fa has not come. She needs time to cool off and your engagement to Melin needs to be terminated before Sakura will even consider taking you back. You must be true to your heart Syaoran. The pain you feel, you need to feel. As does Sakura with her own grief, this incident will only make your love stronger."
"When can I go to her?" Syaoran asked grief stricken.
"Not for a while dear brother. The stars say four months time will pass. The breaking of your engagement to Melin is going to take a while. I think." Femei considered.
"What do I do next?"
"We tell mother." Femei replied. Everyone looked at her. They all knew it was not going to be easy to tell their mother this. Not when she felt even more deceived then Syaoran did on the matter.
"I shall go then." Syaoran said as he got up to walk out of the room.
"Wait little brother your going to need me!" Femei called out as she got up with him. The three older girls followed them. They would quietly listen to the conversation outside the room's doors.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
I fly all the way home. My heart heavy and sore. I know Kero should be able by now to sense my aura. They greet me at the door as I step off fly and place it in the book. Kero yelps for joy. "You did it! Oh Sakura THAT'S not funny making me think that you actually fell in love with the gaki Prince of the Li's! You really had me going!"
"It wasn't an act I found out he had a fiancee! I was a fool I know! I've just flown all night to get here. It's dawn! I'm tired and I heard preagnant woman need their sleep."
Madison gasps. "Sakura?"
"That's not funny! Sakura PLEASE tell me your joking!" Kero beggs as he droped the Clow book and cards.
I snort and run into something. I look up and see Yue. "Yue!"
"It's good to have you home mistress. Your children will be very powerful. They are growing rapidly and healthy." He greeted.
"Are they?" I cry.
"Sakura! Sakura! What have you done?" Kero paced.
"I've stolen a the only piece of Syaoran I can call my own." I sigh as I walk into my house and up into my room and fall unto my bed.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
3 months later…
Leran and her son sat across Melin and her parents. "I'm sure you are wondering why we have asked you hear today." Leran began with.
"Not really. I mean Melin and Syaoran of marriageable age. I think it's a grand idea. When do you plan to set the wedding?" Melin's father asked.
"There will be no wedding between Syaoran and Melin soon or ever." Leran gently said.
"What?" Both of Melin's parents and she asked.
Everyone just stared at each other in silence. Until Melin's father spoke up. "I don't find this joke at all funny!"
"It's not a joke uncle. I can not take Melin for a wife any longer. I have shamed her, you and your wife, my family, and clan. I already have an heir to the thrown. He will be born in about a little over five months along with his sister. Femei has already told the Elders of the clan that Sakura and I are meant to be, it is the only way for the Li clan to receive the cards. They have broken the engagement. I am to marry Sakura Kiminto now." Syaoran expressed.
"You have sired a child on that… that… WHORE!" Melin raged.
Syaoran's eyes became sharp and cold like daggers. "I will not allow you to talk about the mother of my children that way Melin! And If I were you uncle I would take heed as to what your daughter says about her future queen!"
"Melin hush! The elders have ruled. This Sakura girl shall be Syaoran's lady wife. Mark my words Leran this shall forever shame my daughter. And forever draw a bridge between us that we will NEVER cross again!" Melin's father and mother stormed out of the room. Melin got up to leave also.
As she crossed the room she stopped by a table and picked up a vase and threw it towards Syaoran's head. Screaming. "I hate you Syaoran Li, and if Sakura has any sense she'll stay as far away from you as she can! I hope she deneys you, so you may know what I feel. The one you love the most deneying your love!" With tears streaming down her eyes and sobs through clenched teeth Melin ran out of the room.
"Are you all right Syaoran?" Leran asked her son.
"Yes I dodged the vase! I'm fine, and you my lady mother. How are you?"
"Alive. Go Syaoran your plane leaves in three hours. Prepare to live Hong Kong in search of your beloved. Bring her back her for your wedding in six weeks."
"Why is the wedding so far away? Sakura and I should be wed as soon as possible to lessen the scandal as much as possible."
"Because I think that it is going to take you six weeks to beg Sakura to marry you."
Syaoran hardly ever got mad at his mother. But at that moment he was furoius at her. For the past three months he had nothing but grief from everybody. His mother had not baggard him about his treatment or actions towards Sakura till now. And to hear those words from her stung and filled him with shame and anger.
Leran saw the pain in her sons eyes. "I'm sorry Syaoran. I know these past few months have been hard on you. But it will take a miracle or a declaration from God himself to have her take you back. I'm not trying to tease or ridicule you Syaoran only give you facts. If in Sakura's place I would never want to see you again. My dear boy the trials you face ahead." Leran sighed as she took Syaoran in her arms.
"Mother. I am so sorry! So very sorry for being such a burden to you!" Syaoran cried into her shoulder.
"My son! You have never been a burden just my child. You will understand once your own daughter and son are born. You will understand." Leran soothed her son.

"That's not funny! Sakura PLEASE tell me your joking!" Kero beggs as he droped the Clow book and cards.
I snort and run into something. I look up and see Yue. "Yue!"
"It's good to have you home mistress. Your children will be very powerful. They are growing rapidly and healthy." He greeted.
"Are they?" I cry.
"Sakura! Sakura! What have you done?" Kero paced.
"I've stolen a the only piece of Syaoran I can call my own." I sigh as I walk into my house and up into my room and fall unto my bed.

"Yes I dodged the vase! I'm fine, and you my lady mother. How are you?"
"Alive. Go Syaoran your plane leaves in three hours. Prepare to live Hong Kong in search of your beloved. Bring her back her for your wedding in six weeks."
"Why is the wedding so far away? Sakura and I should be wed as soon as possible to lessen the scandal as much as possible."
"Because I think that it is going to take you six weeks to beg Sakura to marry you."
Syaoran hardly ever got mad at his mother. But at that moment he was furoius at her. For the past three months he had nothing but grief from everybody. His mother had not baggard him about his treatment or actions towards Sakura till now. And to hear those words from her stung and filled him with shame and anger.
Leran saw the pain in her sons eyes. "I'm sorry Syaoran. I know these past few months have been hard on you. But it will take a miracle or a declaration from God himself to have her take you back. I'm not trying to tease or ridicule you Syaoran only give you facts. If in Sakura's place I would never want to see you again. My dear boy the trials you face ahead." Leran sighed as she took Syaoran in her arms.
"Mother. I am so sorry! So very sorry for being such a burden to you!" Syaoran cried into her shoulder.
"My son! You have never been a burden just my child. You will understand once your own daughter and son are born. You will understand." Leran soothed her son.
