"What time again can I call her?" Sakura asked Syaoran for the millionth time making him laugh; she smiled knowing that since Naoko had left this morning she had been waiting to call her.
"She'll call you guys when she has a chance, Mika is bringing her to meet his family she'll be overwhelmed but Mei Lin will be there for support" Sakura sighed nodding as she cuddled up to him.
"I know but I can't help" Sakura said softly smiling when a thought struck her "Last night at the club I saw Detective Ahmed and two other men watching us from afar I forgot tell you since I was busy helping Naoko"
"I see" Syaoran said frowning at what she said, Sakura looked at up at him worried that something was bothering him "Don't worry its nothing, he's just looking for something else to bust me for"
"Oh well don't worry he didn't have time to think about anything or you. I don't like the way he watched me" Sakura said her brow furrowing in thought, she looked so cute that he couldn't help but chuckle pulling closer to him earning a smile from her.
"And what's so funny?" she asked wrapping her arms round his neck sitting on his lap,
"You look so adorable" he whispered looking deep into her emerald orbs, Sakura giggled resting her forehead against his.
"Am I?" she whispered her lips almost touching his, Syaoran nodded capturing her lips in soft kiss which eventually deepened earning a moan from Sakura as Syaoran pulled her closer as the sea breeze blew against them.
"We're in the wrong place to do this" he murmured in the kiss, the beach had other people on it and he wasn't in for giving them a free show.
"I know but I can't stop myself, I want you" she purred running her tongue across his lips pushing him back against the towel slowly, Syaoran smiled before sucking her tongue in his mouth.
"All right but we can't go too far, this will have to continue in my bed" Syaoran replied turning her over as he loosened her bikini strings. Sakura moaned when he pushed her breast up trailing kisses down her neck when his cell phone started to ring, they ignored it at first but then Sakura answered it getting annoyed "Hello?" she gasped uneasily because of what Syaoran was doing to her at the moment.
"I would like to speak to Xiao Lang" came a gruff voice of a woman, Sakura had to bit back a giggle. Yelen looked at the phone wondering what was going on at the other end she was sure this was her son's number but maybe she was mistaking.
"Ok.okay um hold on please" a girl giggled well more like moaned, Yelen looked at her visitors.
"Xiao Lang, there's a lady on the phone" they all heard the girl say, she laughed at something he said, only Mei Lin and the other younger ones laughed the adults had a shocked faces.
"No don't do.oh my" Sakura gasped making Mei Lin, Mika and Naoko stifle a laugh getting looks from the adults "Um he said to call back, he's busy right now.can I have your name?" came Sakura's uneasy voice before she giggled again and yelp Yelen quickly took the phone off speaker.
"Yes I suggest you tell him that it's his mother" she snapped, Sakura gasped looking scared and embarrassed.
"Syaoran its your mother" she choked looking horrified, Syaoran chuckled taking the phone.
"Don't look so horrified" he said taking the cell still on top of her, "Hello mother is there something you want to talk about?"
"Yes I want to know how you and Wolf could allow Mika to marry knowing full well that his parents had an arranged marriage like you do?" Syaoran frowned hearing this news, he didn't now they run his life, and Yelen had now put the home back on speaker. Mika held Naoko's had her face paling she had not gotten the welcome she thought she would get.
"Listen Mika is an adult like I am he chooses who he wants to marry not his parents. You sent us here to finish up what all of you started don't you think we have the right to make our own choices?" they heard him say angrily surprising them only Mei Lin, Mika and Naoko was smiling.
"That is far from the point they want an annulment now"
"It cannot be annulled because it was consummated before they even wedded, I don't have the time for this I will be home soon and I suggest that they do nothing as stupid as try and break them up, Naoko gave up a lot to be with him, more then any of you have ever parted with" Naoko smiled thanking Syaoran for his kindness and she knew why Sakura loved him, it was the same reason why she loved Mika. "Is that all?"
"Yes" Yelen said softly sighing as she rubbed her temples sometimes she wondered why she gave Wolf her son to raise. "Who is that girl who answered your phone?"
"Ying Fa you'll meet her soon enough, give the phone to Naoko" Yelen nodded towards the girl "And take the phone off speaker" he added making Mei Lin laugh.
"Hello?" Naoko said softly, she was tired and hungry and mostly all of these people were mean to her.
"Naoko sweetie how are you doing?" Sakura asked worriedly when Syaoran rested his head on her chest sighing.
"Not good" Naoko confessed but wouldn't say more because she had on audience and didn't want to make more enemies then she already had.
"Tell me don't be afraid of them, everything will be all right. Please just talk to me" Naoko walked over to the window and sighed looking at how far the property stretched.
"All right since I got here his parents have been upset that he married with out them knowing when he had a fiancée here waiting for him. And like my parents want the marriage to be broken, I wish you guys were here right now" Naoko stated not caring that his parents were in the room.
"Listen to me don't let them try to take him from you, you tell them about what you left behind. Remember you have rights and legally you're his wife and only Mika can change that" Sakura said truthfully not wanting anyone to walk over her friend "Look at them and don't show them your afraid take deep breaths okay and call me tonight at eight"
"All right I love you and tell the others too" Naoko smiled happily "Miss you lots"
"Me too, bye sweetie"
"Bye Saku" Naoko said hanging up, she turned to everyone and smiled right at Mika who winked back. "Listen you might not except me but you'll have to live with it cause I'm not going anywhere" she stated looking at his parents "Mika and I are legally married, I was disowned by my parents to be with him and there is no way in hell I'm going to let you or anyone take him from me I told my parents the same thing" she smiled smugly seeing their shock faces, only Mei Lin and Mika was smiling.
"I know you must be hungry, come I'll get you something to eat" Mika said reaching for her, Naoko nodded taking his hand where he led her out of the room
"She didn't seem so strong a moment ago in fact she seemed scared to death" Fiemie said softly admiring the girl's courage.
"She was but after talking to Sakura she got the courage, Ying Fa is a loyal friend and just as stubborn as Xiao Lang. There's a lot that happened in Tokyo that none of you here will ever know about. And she's not someone to mess with so tell Marla to back off, Ying Fa nearly blew Xin's head off for touching her and she wanted to miss"
Tokyo.
Sakura held unto to Syaoran tightly as they rode through traffic, her mind still on Naoko's unhappiness would she be welcomed the same way too? She hoped to god not, thinking about that she absently tightened her hold on him.
"Ladies and Gentleman please fasten your seat belts and make sure your trays are in their upright and locked positions, we'll be landing at Hong Kong International Airport in five minutes. Current temperature 88 degrees and time is 6:30 P.M" came a flight attendants voice.
"Oh this is great we're almost there" Tomoyo squeal happily making me smile as I closed my eyes, I was so close to be seeing my beloved again. I felt like I wanted to cry but couldn't at least not yet.
'It was the night before prom that Syaoran got a late phone call from Wolf, I didn't like the look on his face but said nothing. I didn't know what would be ahead of us for the next week and if I did I would have done everything the same way. I remember I had just come out of the shower and was drying my hair out when it rang and it was the first time we had a real argument.'
"Hello?" he said softly his smiled faded hearing whatever the person had to say and he stood up like he was going out. "All right I'll see you in a few moments" he said hanging up.
"Where are you going, its 12" Sakura said frowning which made Syaoran smile, as I walked up to him.
"I'll be back in about half n' hour the most, i.me and Eriol has to go and see Wolf he isn't feeling good" he answered
"Is he going to be all right?" Sakura asked in alarm making him chuckle.
"Yes I just want to make sure my self, don't wait up I'll wake up when I come back" Syaoran said placing at kiss on my lips then my forehead before he left me standing in the middle of my room. Something told me it was more then that but I didn't want to ask him I would find out soon enough, putting on my silk night gown I crawled into bed pulling the covers over me deciding to wait up for him but a few moments later I was asleep.
Syaoran frowned opening Sakura's bedroom door quietly, it was after two and he thanked god she was asleep. He looked at her before going to shower, it was then that Sakura opened her eyes and listened she wanted to know what was going on but it seemed like he didn't want to tell her and it hurt to know that he couldn't confide in her. A few minutes later she heard the shower turn off turning on her side she pretended to be asleep and listened to him moved around in the room before climbing in bed pulling her close to him "You had me worried why didn't you call and say you were going to be late?" Sakura asked softly.
"I thought you were asleep" Syaoran said surprised that she was awake.
"I was but it was a waste of time because all I did was wake up worried about you and why you weren't back even when Eriol was with Tomoyo" she felt him stiffen before he let her go and sat up.
"You called them?" he asked softly, Sakura turned around looking at his back.
"Yes I was worried and wanted to see if he had called her saying he would be late only to find out that he was sleeping right beside her when I didn't know where you were" Sakura answered in a hurt tone when he got up and walked to the window.
"I'm not a child you don't have to worry about me, if I didn't call I was busy I'm a very busy person" Syaoran said coldly turning to face her and Sakura had never seen his eyes that way since they had first meet or when he was angry with someone.
"Why do you have to be so secretive? I trust you the least you can do is trust me dammit. I hate worrying, I have all these things run through my mind and I think that I've lost someone again like I lost my family" Sakura cried desperately wondering why he was being so cold.
"I don't answer to anyone and I don't like to be interrogated even worst so don't do it" he bit out in a silky soft voice, his amber eyes glowing when he turned around she took an automatic step back in fear "Do you hear me?"
"Perfectly.I don't know if you've had anyone care about you but I do and frankly I don't like the look on your face. Do or say what you want but I will always worry, I'll always care and I can't help it because I love you too much not to and to know that you don't love me or care for me enough to tell me something anything but all you do is leave me in the dark and I hate being in the dark" Sakura screamed venomously clenching her hands in fists, "And right now I'm wondering why I'm standing her like an idiot trying to get through to you" Syaoran stood there staring at her hard not saying a word as hers sank in, he tore his glare away from her and looked out the window.
"I'm sorry" he whispered so low that Sakura wasn't sure she had heard him right. He was apologizing to her and she sighed happily wiping the tears she didn't know she had shed away as she slowly walked to him "But I keep things from you to keep you safe in case anything happens to me you wont be caught up in anything" she stopped dead in her tracks hearing the words 'anything happens to me'
"What?" she echoed not believing what he was saying to her now; he turned and looked at her with sad eyes making Sakura's stomach churn.
"Wolf died tonight, I sent Eriol home to tell Tomoyo but I stayed" Sakura gasped at the news and seeing his haunted face but she could say nothing "He was shot in his home tonight, one of his guards called me. I know it was the Tigers and god I wasn't there to help or at least try to save him for the second time in my life that felt useless the first was when Tiger had you. I don't like the feeling.I hate the feeling, two times in my life I've lost the only father I've had by the same people"
"oh Syaoran I'm sorry.so sorry I didn't know" Sakura whispered hugging him tightly, "I'm sorry about Wolf, even though I didn't know him he seemed nice"
"He was and Tiger is going to die, I'm going to make sure of it.everything will end before I leave here" Syaoran stated in a hard voice that scared Sakura because she knew that he meant it.he would make sure 'tomorrow he will take his last breath' he thought savagely when Sakura pulled back from the hug.
"Promise me you won't do anything drastic" she whispered touching his cheek, Syaoran's hand came over hers.
"Nothing drastic" he promised kissing her hand, as he made her walked backwards towards the bed. Sakura's mind cease to function as she was drawn into the hot and steamy passion of her lover.fiancée, he drew emotions and feeling she never knew she had and then shared it with care, long after their love making Sakura was still awake caressing his back listening to his steady breathing 'I don't want to lose you' she thought feeling like she wanted to cry, he was such a very strong person and she didn't want to anything to happen. She prayed to god to watch over him and protect him as he completed what his family had thrown him into, if anything happened to him she would make sure they paid dearly.
"I love you my little wolf" she whispered in his ear making him sigh, even though he was on top of her she didn't mind, he was as light as a feather to her.
Closing her eyes she heard him whisper "Ai shiteru cherry blossom" kissing her collarbone making her smile as sleep claimed her.
