1 month later…
4 months later since Sakura left Hong Kong…
Another long horrible day to survive. Sakura had stopped living the moment Syaoran turned his back on her. Her belly swelled just slightly. She was already almost 5 months along and with twins but she could still hide the growing children within her with the help of the Illusion card. Sakura decided to keep the long hair that aided her in the deception of the Li family and her eyes had lost their brilliance with the loss of Syaoran. Thoughts of Syaoran filled her head as she walked to school. She truly hoped he was happy with Melin. She missed Femei and the other girls so much but she missed Syaoran the most.
Sakura was fighting back the tears that threaten to spill from her eyes. She didn't she the person she bumped into. "I'm sorry." Sakura apologized as she looked up to see Syaoran. He had changed so much in just four months. His face was thin. His muscles rippled even more then before. His eyes were still the cold slice of amber stone that could glare any one down. He looked at her with fierce determination. He was cold and he freighted her.
What if he has come to take the Clow cards? Sakura's body shook with fear. She had yet to finish converting the cards because of the children she harbored in her belly. Kero said they would be very powerful because they were absorbing much of her magical energy. And because of that she could only convert one card a week and sometimes it would take two weeks to gather the necessary energy to convert a card.
Syaoran saw the look of fear in her eyes. The look of a doe trapped in the headlights of a car. Syaoran inwardly cursed himself for making her fear him so. "Hello Ying Fa" He greeted softly.
A look of defiance came to her face. "I've converted all of the cards to Sakura cards you can't take them away from me." She shrieked.
"I don't come here for the cards." Syaoran replied.
Sakura was taken back by what he said. "Then why do you come?"
"To see you and how well you're doing." Syaoran answered. It had taken him so long to find her. So very long. And once he did he did not have the courage to approach her! He the great Syaoran could not face his beloved Ying Fa!
"I'm fine, thank you; and if you will excuse me I have to get to school before I am late."
Sakura defied as she tried to walk past him but Syaoran grabbed her to him.
"Your NOT going to school today Sakura!" Syaoran threatened.
"I see you haven't changed a bit! Your still just a horrible bully and brute. Now if you don't mind I'd like to…" Sakura did not get to finish before Syaoran cut her off.
"I will no longer stand for your defiance Ying Fa! No wife of mine shall behave so!" Syaoran growled.
"I am not your WIFE! Melin…" Again Sakura was cut off by Syaorans growing impatience.
"Melin and I are not married the engagement has been broken. You on the other hand shall take your place as my queen and lady wife. We shall enjoy a week here inviting any friends or family you might want to join but we shall be attending our wedding in Hong Kong in two weeks. There is no room for discussion on this!"
"How DARE you! I am not some thing to order around…" Syaoran silenced her once again.
"You my dear, are the mother of my children. The honor of THAT goes to my lady wife the future queen of the Li clan. You." Syaoran explained.
"So Femei told you about that." Sakura spat.
"Yes, she told me that and how I was a fool to let such a woman like you walk out of my life." Syaoran sighed.
"You can not force me to go back nor marry you."
"You are right my lovely Ying Fa but might I remind you that I am the father of the children that grow within you and the son is the rightful heir to the Li thrown. You can hide him for only so long. I will come for him."
Sakura held her stomach as to protect her unborn child. "You wouldn't dare!" Sakura cried.
"I'd give you till he was eight, half of his childhood then I would come for him to begin his training to be a leader.
Sakura began to sob. "You can not! He is mine! They both are mine! Syaoran I am their mother!"
"And I their father. I'm offering you everything! To be a queen, live a secured life, live in a palace with fine gowns and jewelry! Gods woman what else do you want?"
"Nothing you can give!" Sakura hissed.
"And what is THAT my dear?"
"Your love! You've always said how you needed me or wanted me! But you have never said you loved me! So no you don't give me everything I've wanted when the one thing I want the most you have yet to give me! Do you really expect me to marry you just because for one night I wanted to own your heart and now I hold a piece of you. A piece of you that grows every day that belongs to me! I think not my lone wolf." Sakura sighed.
Syaoran was in shock at what she had just said. "Do you really think you mean nothing to me! That I don't care for you or our children? That I have disgraced Melin's name by breaking off this engagement? Do you not think I am eaten up with the guilt that because your belly grows with my children, people will brand you…"
"ENOUGH!" Sakura cried. "I get it Syaoran but you said you didn't want me! I've moved on with my life since I left China. I have a life here. I can't just get up and leave. I haven't even finished school yet!" When Syaoran didn't answer she continued. "You don't know how much that means to me! I want to get an education. I don't want to be another useless brainless house wife!"
"But you wouldn't be useless I NEED you Sakura!"
"That's not enough Syoaran!" Sakura whispered. Syaoran went to say something but didn't, he knew he was defeated. Sakura touched his cheek. "Goodbye Syaoran." With that she tore from him and began to walk to school. The tears fell from her eyes. It took all her will to walk away from Syaoran and it was killing her but this is for the best. Syaoran and her could never live together happily. They both had hurt each other way too much to be able to forgive the other completely. The tears were beginning to stream from her eyes steadily. "I must not look back!"
Syaoran watched in anguish as the woman he loved walked away from him. As much as he tried to stop them his eyes began to blur with tears. Syaoran had never cried in his life! Not even when his father had died, but now as he lost the woman he loved forever they began to flow steadily. "NO! Sakura NO! I will not lose you again!" Syaoran yelled as ran up to catch up to her. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her to him locking her in a bear hug. "Please Sakura don't leave me again! I couldn't bear it! I love you! I love you! Please I'll do anything just don't leave me! I can't live without you! Oh Kami Sami Sakura please don't leave me!" Syaoran begged.
Sakura looked up at Syaoran and saw the tears in his eyes and felt her own as they slid down her face. "Oh Syaoran." Sakura pleaded. Syaoran released her and only held her hand. He got on the ground one knee and pulled out a little black box. "Syaoran…" Sakura sobbed.
"Sakura Kiminto, I never realized how I took advantage of your presence and love till you were gone. I… I father your children, then you find out I have had a fiancée. When you needed me to be understanding I was not. I truly love you though. So I offer you everything that is my own. I offer you my love, heart, soul, to be a wonderful father to our children and take care of you always. Please give me an opportunity to prove myself to you! Do me the honor of being my lady wife, queen, and mother to my children the future of the Li clan. Marry me Ying Fa!" Syaoran pleaded as he placed a ring on Sakura's hand.
The ring was beautiful! Made of white gold it shape a cherry blossom, with a 2 carrot diamond in the middle. Sakura looked at Syaoran and fell down to him. "My beloved lone wolf. Yes, I'll marry you if you'll have me." They embraced tightly both afraid it was a dream and they would wake up from it. Both fearing to lose the other.
For a long while they both were buried in each other sobbing tears of joy of finally being together. They clung to together needing the reassurance that the other was truly there and it wasn't a dream but a wonderful reality.
"Not that I'm not grateful, but what made you change your mind?" Syaoran asked.
"The fact that I can't imagine life without you nor you taking my son from me after eight years. Would you have really taken him from me?" Sakura asked. Syaoran sighed.
"I couldn't see my self marrying any one else but if I did and I had a son then I would have let you live your life in peace." Syaoran confessed. Sakura only smiled at him.
"Come let us go home. We have a weeding to plan for in how long you said?
"Two weeks. But we leave for Hong Kong in a week."
"Then I guess were going to need some boxes fast! I'm going to need to pack my things." Sakura giggled. She planted a butterfly kiss on Syaoran's lips, got up and helped him up.
They both got up and headed towards Sakura's house. Arms locked as well as hearts for all time. They walked in the glory of the bright sun and the stars were happy because the young lovers were finally together. Their bond complete as well as their souls.
