Chapter 7


Sakura woke up and looked a little ahead her, to find Syaoran still asleep, smiling. Finally, she could wake up normally, with Syaoran below her. She smiled and kissed his lips softly. It was early in the morning, but smelled the brekfast being cooked downstairs. She slowly got up, not wanting to disturb Syaoran, and put on her normal routine clothes. She walked down the stairs, to be greated by all of their friends, but they seemed to be hiding a secret........ A good secret.

"W-What's going on?"

She saw Chiharu, Naoko, and Tomoyo look at each other and smile. "Our periods were later than usual......."

"And......?"

"Sakura, we're pregnant."

"Oh my god! That's great you guys!" Sakura exclaimed and she ran and hugged Tomoyo, Naoko, Chiharu, Eriol, Yakashima, and Takashi. "So...... What's in other news?"

"I don't know, let me check......" Ken replied, opening up the newspaper. "Hm....... There's an article about you and your family.........."

"What does it say?"

"From the rumors of Prince Kinomoto's death and Princess Kinomoto becoming the new heir, it seems her rule will be progressing in a short amount of Days, weeks, months, or year for King Kinomoto has come up with a flu that could cause him a death. Any further information has been classified, esspecially whether or not Prince Kinomoto is deceased."

Sakura's eyes began to water. She knew what she had to do. "I'm going to go back then........"

"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"But Sakura....." Rika began. "What about Syaoran? And what about us?"

"You all can stay here, but I'm going." Sakura sniffled. "Please make your decision while I go for a walk, excuse me." Sakura got up and walked outside to do some thinking.


It's either my country, or my love. Country. Love. Country. Love. Lives. Life. Lives. Life. Helping. Loving. Helping. Loving. This is such a dilema! Why did I have to be born royalty?! Or why couldn't Syaoran be royalty?! This is so hard! I need to decide. Country. Love. Country. Love........


Syaoran woke up, not finding Sakura anywhere, but figuring she was downstairs. He put on his pants and shirt, exited the room, and began walking down the stairs, but paused when he heard chit chatting.

"Do you think she's going to go back to the palace?"

"I don't know...... She's going through a tough time right now. Choosing over Syaoran or her kingdom. That's a tough choice."

"Would you choose me over your kingdom?"

"Like I said, it's a tough choice."

"Hmph."

Syaoran then sprinted down the stairs. "What's going on?!"

Everyone looked up and gave sympethetic faces. "Sakura's doing some thinking......."

"About what?"

"She has to choose. Her kingdom or.........."

"Or what?"

".......You."

"Where did this all come from?"

"The news paper." Eriol handed Syaoran the news paper, where it showed a picture of the royal family. Syaoran read the news and quickly looked up.

"Where did she go?!"

"The forest, to think."

Syaoran dashed out of the house to find Sakura. "No, no, no! I can't lose her! She's the only one I've loved and she can't be taken away!" Tears began coming out of Syaoran's eyes. He quickly wiped them away. "I can't cry. Whatever she chooses, I'll stick by her. Even if she chooses her kingdom....." Syaoran finally reached the bridge where they had confessed their love to eachother, and she was there, crying.

Sakura knew her answer, and she didn't feel good about it. She began crying while looking at her reflection in the pond, and little rippletscascaded from her tears. She was sorry she ever went on this stupid adventure. It just caused problems and troubles. This whoe obstical course had to end with a tug-of-war: her family and kingdom VS her lover and friends. The rope had been tugged, scrapes were put onto her heart, and the winning side was the strongest of all........

"Sakura?" Sakura turned around at hearing Syaoran's low voice. She sniffled as tears still cascaded down. He knew her answer. Tears began falling down his cheeks as he ran for her and embraced her tightly. "I love you, never forget that."

"I never will......" Sakura whispered as he let her down. "But I have to go back...... I can't let my family down."

Syaoran nodded his head. "I understand."

Sakura cried out again and hugged him. "I love you, I'm so sorry! I know I told you I'ld make you happy and that you'ld never loose me and I let you down."

"It's not your fault Sakura. You have to." Syaoran backed up and gave her a sad smile. Her bent down and kissed her, but before the kiss could get even more passionate, Kinomoto guards jumped out of the bushes and separated Sakura and Syaoran.

"Syaoran!"

"Sakura!"
