I was home from school with the flu, gah.but my parents don't want me missing so I was out for a day.that SUCKS oh well. I'm almost finished with the story but I've been saying that for a while now haven't I? Whelp I'm all ready thinking about the sequel and I hope that it'll be just as
"Ladies and Gentlemen we'll be arriving in Hong Kong in fifteen minutes" came the flight attendants voice over the intercom.
"Oh I can't wait till we land" Tomoyo exclaimed excited, I looked at her and smiled.she's been so helpful since Syaoran left I don't know what I would do without her. 'The next day we got an uninvited guests but at least he didn't drop in while Syaoran and I was busy like he did before.
"Syaoran." Sakura whispered waking up, she left the bed and found it empty as usual 'can't he ever stay in bed late for once' she thought somewhat irritated but not enough to dampen her mood. She turned her head towards the bathroom when the door opened revealing Syaoran in a towel, Sakura's eyes took their time looking over his so fine build.god was she blessed or what? "Can't you ever stay in bed late just for once?" she asked speaking her mind.
"I'll remember that." Syaoran smiled sitting next to her. "What would you like for breakfast?" he asked surprising Sakura. "You don't think we left the cooking up to Mei Lin did you?"
"Your lucky Mei Lin isn't here," Sakura giggled thinking of what she would like. "How about pancakes?"
"Pancakes it is" Syaoran answered getting up only to be pulled down by Sakura who smile wickedly at him. "Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked playing innocent.
"How could I forget" Syaoran stated kissing her softly on the lips, when he moved Sakura raised a brow at him.chuckling lightly he gave her a passionate kiss. "Better?"
"Much better" Sakura moaned smiling giving a quick peck on the cheek.
"Good now go shower you can help your self to any of my clothes.well shirts knowing how they can be a dress for you" Syaoran said smiling at Sakura who stuck out her tongue. "I'll get dressed and make your breakfast" he added getting up, Sakura sighed getting out of bed not even bothering to cover up her naked body after all it was Syaoran the only person who has ever seen her naked.
"What are you going to do today?" Sakura asked wondering if he was going out, she hoped not.she wanted him for her self.
"Nothing yet I want to spent the day with you" Syaoran answered making Sakura squeal in delight as she hurried to the bathroom. Syaoran finished dressing when the shower was turned on, he walked to the bathroom door waiting until she got in before he spoke. "I hope that you'll be this excited to go out with me and always demand me to sleep in late with you and to give a you sound kiss every morning when we're married"
"Nani?!?!" Sakura gasped stopping what she was doing in the shower, she couldn't believe what he just said.
"You heard me now hurry up" Syaoran chuckled walking away, Sakura looked out the shower but he was all ready gone.she couldn't help the bright smile that crept on her face and the bubbly feeling she had in her stomach, she couldn't wait until she saw him then she would corner him and demand an explanation.
Eriol.
"I'll was just coming to get you" Eriol said meeting Syaoran in the hall. "Detective Ahmed is here with questions concerning the death of Carey" he continued as they headed to the front.
"I expected him to come snooping around but not this soon" Syaoran said putting his hands into his pockets.
"With all the competition gone or should I say dead we're naturally the first choice and it doesn't help that he dislikes you" Eriol said in a amused tone. "And I think he hates you even more now that Sakura is yours, I think he has a thing for her he's been asking if she is here"
"Well he'll get his answer soon enough" Syaoran replied smugly when they walked into the room where Ahmed and his partner, who couldn't keep his eyes off the girls, was waiting. "Well what do we owe this visit?" Syaoran asked sitting down across from Ahmed who glared at him before answering.
"We're here to ask your whereabouts last night when the untimely demise of Mrs. Carey Liu occurred. She and her husband was caught between a cross fire luckily he was unharmed but is in the mourning of his young wife's death" Ahmed stated getting up, "And I have the strangest feeling you were involved in this too like all the others now tell me where you were and if its not a good answer I'll gladly drag your ass down to the station" Syaoran and the others smiled at him, while the girls playfully flirted with his partner.
"I was home naturally" Syaoran shrugged leaning back with a bored expression on his face.
"Like hell you were, I need hard evidence that you were here as you claim you were" Ahmed stated feeling 'I've got you this time' he thought proudly. He came to a halt when he caught sight of the angel standing in the hall way dressed a very large shirt it was apparent that it was all she had on too, he gulped trying to tear his gaze way from her.
Sakura looked at the same police who had locked them up and hit on her at the firing range.well aware of his stare roaming her body. She noticed that everyone else in the room had a smiled on their faces and was aware of Ahmed's improper stare. "Is there something going on?" she asked breaking the silence.
"Hai. Ying Fa Ahmed here is arresting Syaoran for the death of Liu Carey" Eriol answered, the name sound familiar then remembered.tiger's wife 'god bless her soul' she thought sadly, it was her own husbands fault. Whatever impact the news made on her she showered no outer emotion to Eriol and the others pleasure.
"How is that possible when Syaoran was home last night?" Sakura asked looking at Ahmed intently who looked at away not able to keep her gaze.
"He can provide no evidence of his whereabouts last night and he is said to be a rival of her husband" Ahmed stated trying to act business like.
"Oh but you see he was definitely home last night" Sakura assured sitting on Syaoran's lap missing the jealous look that flared across Ahmed's eyes. "And I'm very angry that he hasn't prepared my breakfast like he said he would and now it's too late and I'm very famished. I must say you have bad timing," she added playing with Syaoran's hair who smiling sardonically at Ahmed.
"What proof do you have? That he was here you could be lying to protect him" Ahmed said angrily not knowing why she would want to be with some one like Li.except maybe for his money but she had that.
"The proof I have is personal I'm sure you know what goes on behind close doors or would you like to me enlighten you?" Sakura retorted smiling down at Syaoran she could barely think straight having Syaoran's hand running up and down her thigh, Ahmed looked sick hearing what she said and from the fact that Syaoran's hand had found it's way under the shirt where he gently caressed her leg. "I can personally assure that Syaoran didn't leave his bed or me all night" she rested her head on Syaoran's shoulder where she whispered. "Now how are you going to make up for not making me breakfast? And I want a full explanation of what you meant while I was in the shower" she kissed him on the ear before she looked innocently at Ahmed. "Now if you'll excuse me this is impropriate attire I will go change and hopefully when I return you'll be gone," she stated walking happily towards her room, she yelped in surprise when Syaoran smacked her on her rear end, she turned and gave him a seductive look before walking off.
"If you'll excuse us all this business talk is ruining my morning" Tomoyo said all the girls nodding agreement following her towards Sakura's room much to Ahmed's partners dismay.
"Well that answers your questions. now you know that way out" Syaoran prompted pointing in the direction.
"This isn't over." Ahmed spat looking coldly at Syaoran and Eriol who ignored him.
"Personally for me it never begun now find some other man to throw in jail in order to get your promotion and leave us alone" Syaoran spat in a calm voice. "And for note I don't like the way you look at my fiancée if you think I'm evil by the way I handle business then you'll think me the devil himself the way I deal with men looking at her the way you did. I'm the only person who has to right to strip her of clothing now be so kind and get out" he bit out, Eriol and Mika were not at all shocked by the news so they kept quiet with a smile on their face.
"Just wait and see." Ahmed said heading the door in quiet fury; he knew not to cross Li especially in his territory.
"Well that was some news" Eriol stated when they head the front door slam shut. "It's about time too your mother will be proud.
"I'm sure auntie will be I can imagine her face now" Mika said smiling whole heartedly Syaoran looked at his two cousins and sighed with an annoyed expression on his face which made their smile widen.
"Yeah if only she knew it too" Syaoran replied folding his arms making their mouths drop open, Eriol and Mika looked at each other and burst out laughing getting a hard core glare from Syaoran.
"You are in no position to laugh I bet you haven't gotten Naoko to come with you" Syaoran snapped smirking, Mika's laughter was cut short and glared at Syaoran and at Eriol was now laughing at the two who turned and glared at him.
"I'm working on it" Mika countered. "And just because you all ready have Tomoyo doesn't mean anything how do you think her mother will react when she finds out that you and her daughter have been naughty out of wed lock?" he added smiling at how Eriol's face paled.
"Good one Mika" Syaoran chuckled lightly brushing off Eriol's glare who eventually smiled.
"I have a simple solution to everyone's problems about getting girls to come and her mother off my back" Eriol replied confidently.
"How's that?" Syaoran asked wondering what he was up to, Mika. also wanted to know.
"Well.
Sakura.
"I guess your feeling a lot better.in fact enough to sleep with Li" Naoko joked while Sakura dressed in jeans and a white blue shirt with slippers.
"Absolutely and I know that you would have done the same thing too Nao." Sakura replied brushing her hair in one then started to braid it.
"God dam right I would" Naoko stated smiling at Sakura's shocked look, Sakura giggled knowing full well that Naoko was growing up like the rest of them.
"How was Mei Lin feeling you know with Renzo's passing?" Sakura said sadly wishing she could have said bye to her friend.
"She's getting along okay but is doesn't help that she get ah.she's pregnant" Tomoyo answered looking at her hands, Sakura and everyone else was silent not knowing what to say.
"At least she will have a beautiful reminder of their love" Sakura stated smiling the others looked at her with a slight smile on their faces. "Their love will never die because everyday she'll see what a precious gift came from it"
"Yeah that's a good way to put it and I'm sure your right. Right now I wish Alex would get back I hate it when he goes out even with Max" Rika said getting worried.
"I'm sure he's on his way back.Syaoran told Takashi to stay away from here and keep a watchful eye on Chiharu. But for me and Rika we are staying with our boyfriends and in fact I haven't seen my parents from since that night" Naoko explained sighing then she looked up with a smile on her face. "But I don't care what they do because I love Mika and nothing will keep me away from him.nothing" she added loyally.
"Same here.Alex even brought me to meet his mother she was really sweet" Rika added proudly making the other girls laugh Sakura couldn't help but think about what Syaoran had said when she was in the shower and hope to god he would really ask her to be his wife cause she like Naoko would follow him to hell and back.
Later.
Sakura placed the sixth candle on the small table in the back yard, after lighting it she stood back and closed her eyes saying a small prayer "Oh this wasn't suppose to happen, I was there to make sure you got out okay." she whispered mournfully watching the sunset.
"I'm sure you did your best" Syaoran whispered hugging her from behind; Sakura sighed resting her head on his chest. "Whose the sixth candle for?" he asked softly
"For Hope, I thought that I had gotten the guy before he fired but I was too slow" Sakura cried softly "and then when Joe tried to help me get out he got shot too and when they beat Tia he made me watch holding my face when I tried to turn away" she wiped a tear away as she gazed at the blurry sunset.
"Listen to me, everyone who died knew what they were getting themselves into. That's why I didn't want you to join but I have no regrets that you did, you've made my life better. Being a Wolf means a lot more then War, we're all family related somehow except for the ones who joined here in Japan you'll see what I mean when you meet my family, this will all be over soon" he assured placing a kiss on her temple.
"And when its over how many of us will remain?" Sakura asked turning to face him "How many friends have you lost since you've been in this?"
"Many but I didn't have a choice about joining, I was born into it. It was my birth right I couldn't just turn my back on it" Syaoran stated firmly his lips in a thin line as he thought about everyone he had lost "That's why I gave you a choice, everything comes with the bad and the good right now it's the bad but it'll get better" Sakura looked at him and wondered how much he'd lost in his entire life and still remain so strong.
"I know it will" she whispered hugging him 'it will and I'll make sure it does' he though looking at the fading sunset.

It was kind of straight forward with no bad stuff happening but the next chapters won't be that way trust me, there's lots of action coming not that we're really counting down the end.the question is who will survive?
