If I knew that something like this was going to happen I would have told you when you ask.
(Sakura's thoughts on the following chapters)
"I read the two songs she sent me about Syaoran, Lin and the one of Lila and Ben they were great. I guess she can't give up that part of her life, since as it was once the only thing she knew" Tomoyo said driving, Mei Lin nodded in agreement listening to the music.
"I know but I hope she tells Xiao Lang soon I have a feeling he's suspecting something" Mei Lin added when Tomoyo pulled into the school. "I saw Gwen you should have seen her, she looked horrible and I think she hates me more" Tomoyo laugh when the bell rang.
"She hates everybody" Tomoyo said laughing when Sakura came through the doors, they looked at her face and burst out laughing.
"What's that matter?" Mei Lin asked when she got in the car.
"Its not funny don't laugh, I kept on getting sick and cravings during my class" Sakura answered when Tomoyo pulled off.
"Don't worry it'll pass just relax, we're going to the mall, have your kids decided to show what sex they are?" Mei Lin asked looking Sakura. ( I don't think you can see the sex for early? Can you?)
"NO the doctor still can't tell he says its too early, they are soo stubborn just like Xiao Lang" Sakura whined smiling as she relax. "But I know that I'm having a boy"
"Great, guess who Mei Lin saw?" Tomoyo asked when Sakura shrugged "Gwen"
"Really?" Sakura asked interested. She hadn't heard anything about Gwen since the night the little incident with Lin.
"Yeah she looked like crap but she has a new lover" Mei Lin answered. Sakura guessed that it was the guy at the restaurant with her that night.
"She must hate me, I mean to took everything from her" Sakura sighed closing her eyes.
"NO you didn't, she hated you before you took him from her. Besides he had no intention of marrying her. She hates anyone who is a Li or friends with them so don't feel bad" Tomoyo pointed out smirking.
"Yeah besides she's barren and Syaoran wants kids, so she didn't have a chance. Your giving him what he wants and needs, she's incapable of love. So what are you going to name your kids?"
"I don't know, we haven't decided yet" Sakura answered smiling. "But Syaoran wants a Jr."
The mall.
"Man I hate this that girl isn't coming to this dam mall, she hasn't been here in weeks" a man growled in his hidden mic. "I'm starting to hate this job, I'm going to quit"
"Chill man, I think we just hit the jack pot. I think she just walked into the baby store" his partner replied "I'm heading there, now meet me"
"Are you sure?"
"Hai, now get a move on"
"All right" his partner sighed hoping he was right.
"This is soo cute" Sakura said putting the suit in the basket, they were buying mostly unisex clothing. "I think I'll look for something for Lin she complains that all she has is dresses"
"And this too" Mei Lin said holding up a dress; they all looked at each and laughed as she put back the vulgar looking thing.
"I think it's in the wrong store" Tomoyo said laughing as she looked for something in Maria's size.
"Tomoyo do you like this---oops I'm sorry" Sakura apologized when she bumped into a man.
"I'm sorry," he said picking up the suit, as he handed it to Sakura, his friend took a few shots.
"Saku look at this isn't it cute?" Mei Lin asked not knowing that she made a mistake calling Sakura that.
"Yeah its adorable" Sakura answered when the man passed her smiling brightly 'My job is done' he thought happily. "So what did you two think of my songs?"
"I loved them and how you have parts for me and Mei Lin" Tomoyo answered happily. "It has a more mature feeling to it too and that's a good thing but where are the sad ones?"
"I'll give them to you guys later, I guess you know me too well" Sakura sighed smiling. "I'm getting used to being big and more importantly I'm taking advantage of the time I have left to walk with out getting tired easily"
"That's a good girl now lets finish up here so we can go and pick up the girls. Then make you try your dress on one last time just to make sure you still fit in it" Mei Lin stated getting a glare from Sakura. "Just kidding besides I'm getting hungry and I know you are too"
Sakura.
Poked her head through the door watching Lin dance, Maria's class had all ready ended and Tomoyo took her home with Mei Lin because Syaoran called wanting to see her and Lin. He had sent Wei with the dogs to pick them up. "Okay girls that's it for today. I'll see you Monday" the teacher said clapping her hands. "Miss Ying Fa is good to see you, why didn't you ask me to take Lin out early?" Sakura looked at the woman who looked like a strict ballerina, her hair was pulled back in a chignon and she stood poised.
"Oh no it was okay I love watching her dance. I wish I had taken ballet more but all I took was jazz and other stuff" Sakura said waving to Lin and her friends.
"I see well my friend has this wonderful dance club I think you would like I'll get his number for you and give it to Lin"
"Thank you Miss Dashi, I must be going" Sakura said taking Lin's hand.
"Yes and feel free to drop by anytime dear, bye Lin" Miss Dashi waved, Lin waved back holding unto Sakura or I say mother's hand?
"I didn't know you were coming for me today, where are we going?" Lin asked happily when they walked through the doors.
"We're going to the park to met Xiao Lang" Sakura answered looking down at her momentarily.
"Just look at her, she thinks her Ying Fa is everything but she's not" Sara spat jealously folding her arms, she and the others were a few feet behind and saw when the limo pulled off.
"Oh but she is when we spent the day with Lin and Maria. Mrs. Li sang for us, she has the most beautiful voice ever" a girl said happily.
"And Lin's puppies are the cutest, her father isn't mean he's nice he does business with my father and grandpa. So now I see Lin and Maria more often. And Mrs. Li is good friends with my grandma Gina" another added smiling before running off to meet her father.
"I still say she is nothing more then a stupid teacher when my mother was a beauty model"
Park.
"What's the matter you seem a little distant?" Sakura asked looking at Syaoran who was watching Lin play, since they met up with him he hadn't really said anything to her and Sakura didn't like it one bit it was like he was upset with her.
"Nothing's wrong, I found out that someone very close to me is a liar and I feel betrayed but there is nothing I can do about it, even though I'm really angry" he answered making Sakura gulp. She looked at him nervously before looking back at Lin. "But lets not talk about that" he said reaching for her hand. "When do you want to start moving into our house? I sent a staff their to clean it up because I haven't been there in over five years. I know that you'll like it a lot and its close to Tomoyo and Mei Lin, I know you don't want to be far from them"
"Well we could try to move in so we could have Christmas together, I've never had a real Christmas---I mean I've never had a Christmas with my own family like Tomoyo and Eriol" Sakura amended lamely but Syaoran heard her. "That's if you'll have time"
"No we can do it, anything to please you, plus I know you want to start on a nursery. We can go and see the house after we get married, I never thought I would be doing this again but here I am" He laughed 'I can't believe I'm getting nervous' he thought surprised at himself. He didn't know why he was feeling this way maybe it was because he wanted to marry her so badly.
"Do you have any regrets?" Sakura asked looking at the cloudy sky.
"The only regret I have is not getting to know the real you, every day you seem to surprise me with some new talent. I like it and dislike it; it makes me wonder if I really know you at all. One minute your bold and don't take orders from anyone and the next you'll listen and do what ever is asked of you" Sakura listen closely to all his words, looking for any sign of anger but all she found was concern.
"Then next you're a woman who turns into a child, I think you've known me long enough to trust me. I hope you trust me like I trust you, because if you don't then I don't see any reason for us you go down the aisle in two days". Sakura's heart dropped hearing his words, she wanted to cry but held back all of her tears
"The first time I got married it wasn't based on anything except material things, I did it because my mother was impatient and she, because I had money. Lin's mother isn't dead; she's somewhere in London living her life not caring about Lin. In fact before she left with her painter lover, she told me that Lin was as dead to her as I was" Syaoran looked at Sakura whose face was down and saw a tear drop to her skirt then another before he realized it wasn't only her tear it was starting to rain.
"Let's go its raining" Lin yelled running up, Sakura quickly wiped her face and looked up smiling, Syaoran was astounded at how her face showed no sign of crying.
"Well let's get out of here then before we get soaked. I know I'm not in the mood to dry kero and spinal and Xiao Lang isn't either" Sakura said happily standing up. "Xiao Lang lets go before your soaked, I have a lot to do and plus I have to call Tomoyo". Sakura's heart was racing a mile a second, she didn't want to keep this from him any longer but she was afraid of what he would feel.
"All right" Syaoran said getting up, she might seem okay on the outside but he knew she was shaking on the inside. She was as good as him in hiding her emotions from people but he could see how she felt from the look in her eyes. Taking her hand in his he said, "We don't want you or Lin getting sick and your right I don't want to dry these dogs off". Sakura nodded walking beside him as they hurried to where he was parked.
"Listen" Sakura said stopping when Syaoran looked at her she bit her lip trying to think of the right words but instead tipped toed and kissed him soundly, breaking away she said, "I won't make you have any regrets. I'm Lin's mother not that woman, and your loyal wife that's the role I'll treasure forever"
"I believe you" he replied giving her a soft kiss hugging her tightly to him. Syaoran had a feeling they were being watched and when he looked behind him he saw a man walking away placing a camera in his jacket.
Japan.later
Vanessa looked up when her butler opened the door and the man who she was waiting for walked in the room with downloaded pictured from his contacts in Hong Kong. "I think you will very much like this" he said handing her a package, Vanessa took the package and opened it taking out the pictures inside.
"You are right indeed I do like this a lot, who would have thought my daughter had enough nerve to play a schemer, tell me more" Vanessa said happily, she looked more intently of the one of Syaoran and Sakura kissing in the park.
"From what we found out by asking around she now goes by Daidouji Ying Fa, she's a school teacher and soon to be wife of Li Xiao Lang in the day after next. It seems that Mrs. Daidouji, her daughter Tomoyo and Li Mei Lin lied to us, its funny how she was right under our nose all this time" Vanessa frowned looking closely at one of the picture.
"It seems that my daughter is getting lazy, she's gaining weight"
"No she's pregnant and check this out with twins" Vanessa didn't like that one bit; this would cause a problem it would have been easier if she wasn't pregnant. Then a thought struck her and she couldn't help but smile 'I'll call the good doctor later and make preparations'
"Does he know who she really is?"
"Nope not a single clue, what do we do now?"
"Book me a ticket to Hong Kong I've got a wedding to go to"
Hong Kong.next day.
They were all at Syaoran's apartment finishing up; they got together to go over the final notes on the wedding that was tomorrow. They were talking about old times, Sakura felt a little uneasy though she knew not why. She still hadn't build up enough nerves to tell Xiao Lang and she hadn't told Mei Lin or Tomoyo about the park incident 'god help me' she pleaded silently. She was knock out of her thoughts when Mei Lin began to speak. " I remember when we had dancing classes, we had a crush on our first teacher. He did jazz, urban and hip hop"
"I remember" Tomoyo laughed making Sakura blush. "Um what was his name again Ying Fa?"
"Tsukishiro Yukito or as we called him Yuki" Sakura answered dreamily making Syaoran frown; he didn't like this guy all ready not when Sakura had feelings for him.
"I can remember that wavy silver hair and sparkling silver eyes" Mei Lin sighed missing the frown on Renzo's face.
"Tell us more" Fanfren said excitedly liking how her brother was actually jealous of this male that wasn't the least bit threatening.
"Well Tomoyo used to bake him cookies because he loved food god only knows where it went. And Ying Fa and I used to play like we couldn't get a move down but in truth Ying Fa never could concentrate because of him or when he was close to her showing her how to do it properly. She would also turn cherry" Mei Lin said getting a glare from Sakura who turned rosy.
"But one of our prank really happened and Ying Fa get her wish. She sprained her ankle and he had to bring her to our bus, she was in dream world for a week" Tomoyo laughed looking at Sakura.
"Hey! What it wasn't as bad as when you cooked for a whole day and asked him to be your taste tester just so you could tape him" Sakura pointed out making Eriol lose his smile. "Or when Mei Lin had to show off her marital arts and fell off the stage" all the girls laughed hearing that.
"If you three don't stop talking about him, poor Yuki will have three jealous husbands after his head" Sonomi stated pointing at the guys. Syaoran's back was turned to them as he looked out the window. When his phone rang he excused him self, retiring to his office leaving a regretful Sakura.
"Yuki was just a childish crush, we're all over him besides he's married to his partner" Tomoyo stated when Sakura excused her self from the room. "And I know for a fact that Ying Fa stopped liking him when Mei Lin showed her a picture of Xiao Lang, she thought he was handsome but didn't say anything because Mei Lin said he was hers"
"Really?" Fiemie asked laughing looking at Mei Lin.
"Hey that's not fair I was young and he was my best friend like you, besides I grew out of it but didn't have the chance to tell Ying Fa. I was too caught up in getting into law school when I met him" Mei Lin said pointing at Renzo who smiled finally relaxing.
"You mean to tell me you followed Renzo all the way to law school?" Xiefia laughed not believing Mei Lin's determination.
"Of course when I met him at Xiao Lang's birthday party I made my mind up that I was going to marry a lawyer" Mei Lin answered in a matter-of-fact tome making the room explode with laughter. Renzo looked at his wife with proud eyes, he couldn't help but smile knowing how much he loved her.
"And it was a switch since as she did the courting not me" he added making Mei Lin slap him playfully.
Sakura.
Sakura softly opened the door and walked into the office, Syaoran's back was turned to her as she made her way to him. "I was just coming back," he said not facing her.
"Your not upset with us talking about Yuki are you?" Sakura asked softly when she stops in front of his chair. Syaoran looked up at her but didn't say anything and his expression was unreadable but Sakura knew better. "He was only a childish I haven't seen him in years. Don't tell me your upset with me?"
"Should I be upset?" he asked casually getting a glare from Sakura.
"No you shouldn't I hate it when you play these games with me Xiao Lang. Do whatever you want I'm not going to lose my temper" she declared proudly but took a step back when he got up towering over her, his gaze penetrating her. "I'm not afraid of you"
"Really? Then why are you stepping back like a guilty criminal Ying Fa?" he bit out in a calm soft voice when Sakura collided with the door.
"You listen to me you will get that look off your face, your scaring me. If- --if you don't" Sakura warned standing stiffly Syaoran mere inches from her.
"What? You'll scream? You're the one who needs to get that look off your face I don't like it, in fact if doesn't suit you. Pretend I'm your Yukito and give me a toothy smile," he ordered pushing the right buttons. "Or better yet pretend I'm someone you love" he whispered, Sakura could feel his breath on her face and shivered when he placed his hands on the side of her head.
"You are the most---the most impossible, most arrogant, self centered" Sakura stated angrily trying to push him away, but he just laughed moving closer to her.
"Cold hearted bastard that you've ever met" Syaoran finished chuckling. Who would have thought that he, Li Xiao Lang would love this munchkin so much? Now all he had to do was build up enough nerves to tell her. "But isn't that why you love me? Or am I mistaken" he asked brushing his lips against hers. Sakura tried very hard to think of something to say feeling his tongue touch her lips playfully, but it was just a futile attempt since as he was in such close proximity to her.
"Yo---your mistaken" she replied gripping his shirt pulling him closer to her. "I find it hard not to love everything about you. Didn't Mei Lin tell you that I got over Yukito when I saw a picture of you, after you won that very big marital arts championship?" She asked innocently turning the seducer into the seduced as she teased him.
"Your joke---" Syaoran started to say but was cut off when Sakura's tongue found its way in his mouth, groaning he pulled her closer deepening the kiss.
Downtown Hong Kong.
"What can we do for you ma'am?" a lady asked smiling.
"I'm attending my daughter's wedding tomorrow and I'm in need of the perfect outfit," Vanessa answered looking around at all the elegant outfits. "Price is not a problem" 'even though I'm not attending the wedding but Sakura has to see me in my best' she thought smiling.
"It wouldn't happen to be the Li's wedding? Are you Daidouji Sonomi?" the lady asked excitedly making Vanessa smile.
"It most definitely is, it'll be a wedding to die for.
Author's note: Doom Doom Doooom---this is definitely not good. Okay!!!!! What is Sakura going to do? Better yet what is Vanessa going to do and how is Syaoran going to react to such news.

"I read the two songs she sent me about Syaoran, Lin and the one of Lila and Ben they were great. I guess she can't give up that part of her life, since as it was once the only thing she knew" Tomoyo said driving, Mei Lin nodded in agreement listening to the music.
"I know but I hope she tells Xiao Lang soon I have a feeling he's suspecting something" Mei Lin added when Tomoyo pulled into the school. "I saw Gwen you should have seen her, she looked horrible and I think she hates me more" Tomoyo laugh when the bell rang.

"Man I hate this that girl isn't coming to this dam mall, she hasn't been here in weeks" a man growled in his hidden mic. "I'm starting to hate this job, I'm going to quit"
"Chill man, I think we just hit the jack pot. I think she just walked into the baby store" his partner replied "I'm heading there, now meet me"
"Are you sure?"
"Hai, now get a move on"

"Saku look at this isn't it cute?" Mei Lin asked not knowing that she made a mistake calling Sakura that.
"Yeah its adorable" Sakura answered when the man passed her smiling brightly 'My job is done' he thought happily. "So what did you two think of my songs?"
"I loved them and how you have parts for me and Mei Lin" Tomoyo answered happily. "It has a more mature feeling to it too and that's a good thing but where are the sad ones?"

Poked her head through the door watching Lin dance, Maria's class had all ready ended and Tomoyo took her home with Mei Lin because Syaoran called wanting to see her and Lin. He had sent Wei with the dogs to pick them up. "Okay girls that's it for today. I'll see you Monday" the teacher said clapping her hands.

"I see well my friend has this wonderful dance club I think you would like I'll get his number for you and give it to Lin"
"Thank you Miss Dashi, I must be going" Sakura said taking Lin's hand.
"Yes and feel free to drop by anytime dear, bye Lin" Miss Dashi waved, Lin waved back holding unto Sakura or I say mother's hand?
"I didn't know you were coming for me today, where are we going?" Lin asked happily when they walked through the doors.
"We're going to the park to met Xiao Lang" Sakura answered looking down at her momentarily.
"Just look at her, she thinks her Ying Fa is everything but she's not" Sara spat jealously folding her arms, she and the others were a few feet behind and saw when the limo pulled off.
"Oh but she is when we spent the day with Lin and Maria. Mrs. Li sang for us, she has the most beautiful voice ever" a girl said happily.

"I believe you" he replied giving her a soft kiss hugging her tightly to him. Syaoran had a feeling they were being watched and when he looked behind him he saw a man walking away placing a camera in his jacket.
Japan.later
Vanessa looked up when her butler opened the door and the man who she was waiting for walked in the room with downloaded pictured from his contacts in Hong Kong. "I think you will very much like this" he said handing her a package, Vanessa took the package and opened it taking out the pictures inside.
"You are right indeed I do like this a lot, who would have thought my daughter had enough nerve to play a schemer, tell me more" Vanessa said happily, she looked more intently of the one of Syaoran and Sakura kissing in the park.
"From what we found out by asking around she now goes by Daidouji Ying Fa, she's a school teacher and soon to be wife of Li Xiao Lang in the day after next. It seems that Mrs. Daidouji, her daughter Tomoyo and Li Mei Lin lied to us, its funny how she was right under our nose all this time" Vanessa frowned looking closely at one of the picture.
"It seems that my daughter is getting lazy, she's gaining weight"
"No she's pregnant and check this out with twins" Vanessa didn't like that one bit; this would cause a problem it would have been easier if she wasn't pregnant. Then a thought struck her and she couldn't help but smile 'I'll call the good doctor later and make preparations'
"Does he know who she really is?"
"Nope not a single clue, what do we do now?"
"Book me a ticket to Hong Kong I've got a wedding to go to"
Hong Kong.next day.
They were all at Syaoran's apartment finishing up; they got together to go over the final notes on the wedding that was tomorrow. They were talking about old times, Sakura felt a little uneasy though she knew not why. She still hadn't build up enough nerves to tell Xiao Lang and she hadn't told Mei Lin or Tomoyo about the park incident 'god help me' she pleaded silently. She was knock out of her thoughts when Mei Lin began to speak. " I remember when we had dancing classes, we had a crush on our first teacher. He did jazz, urban and hip hop"
"I remember" Tomoyo laughed making Sakura blush. "Um what was his name again Ying Fa?"
"Tsukishiro Yukito or as we called him Yuki" Sakura answered dreamily making Syaoran frown; he didn't like this guy all ready not when Sakura had feelings for him.
"I can remember that wavy silver hair and sparkling silver eyes" Mei Lin sighed missing the frown on Renzo's face.
"Tell us more" Fanfren said excitedly liking how her brother was actually jealous of this male that wasn't the least bit threatening.
"Well Tomoyo used to bake him cookies because he loved food god only knows where it went. And Ying Fa and I used to play like we couldn't get a move down but in truth Ying Fa never could concentrate because of him or when he was close to her showing her how to do it properly. She would also turn cherry" Mei Lin said getting a glare from Sakura who turned rosy.
"But one of our prank really happened and Ying Fa get her wish. She sprained her ankle and he had to bring her to our bus, she was in dream world for a week" Tomoyo laughed looking at Sakura.
"Hey! What it wasn't as bad as when you cooked for a whole day and asked him to be your taste tester just so you could tape him" Sakura pointed out making Eriol lose his smile. "Or when Mei Lin had to show off her marital arts and fell off the stage" all the girls laughed hearing that.
"If you three don't stop talking about him, poor Yuki will have three jealous husbands after his head" Sonomi stated pointing at the guys. Syaoran's back was turned to them as he looked out the window. When his phone rang he excused him self, retiring to his office leaving a regretful Sakura.
"Yuki was just a childish crush, we're all over him besides he's married to his partner" Tomoyo stated when Sakura excused her self from the room. "And I know for a fact that Ying Fa stopped liking him when Mei Lin showed her a picture of Xiao Lang, she thought he was handsome but didn't say anything because Mei Lin said he was hers"
"Really?" Fiemie asked laughing looking at Mei Lin.
"Hey that's not fair I was young and he was my best friend like you, besides I grew out of it but didn't have the chance to tell Ying Fa. I was too caught up in getting into law school when I met him" Mei Lin said pointing at Renzo who smiled finally relaxing.
"You mean to tell me you followed Renzo all the way to law school?" Xiefia laughed not believing Mei Lin's determination.
"Of course when I met him at Xiao Lang's birthday party I made my mind up that I was going to marry a lawyer" Mei Lin answered in a matter-of-fact tome making the room explode with laughter. Renzo looked at his wife with proud eyes, he couldn't help but smile knowing how much he loved her.
"And it was a switch since as she did the courting not me" he added making Mei Lin slap him playfully.
Sakura.
Sakura softly opened the door and walked into the office, Syaoran's back was turned to her as she made her way to him. "I was just coming back," he said not facing her.
"Your not upset with us talking about Yuki are you?" Sakura asked softly when she stops in front of his chair. Syaoran looked up at her but didn't say anything and his expression was unreadable but Sakura knew better. "He was only a childish I haven't seen him in years. Don't tell me your upset with me?"
"Should I be upset?" he asked casually getting a glare from Sakura.
"No you shouldn't I hate it when you play these games with me Xiao Lang. Do whatever you want I'm not going to lose my temper" she declared proudly but took a step back when he got up towering over her, his gaze penetrating her. "I'm not afraid of you"
"Really? Then why are you stepping back like a guilty criminal Ying Fa?" he bit out in a calm soft voice when Sakura collided with the door.
"You listen to me you will get that look off your face, your scaring me. If- --if you don't" Sakura warned standing stiffly Syaoran mere inches from her.
"What? You'll scream? You're the one who needs to get that look off your face I don't like it, in fact if doesn't suit you. Pretend I'm your Yukito and give me a toothy smile," he ordered pushing the right buttons. "Or better yet pretend I'm someone you love" he whispered, Sakura could feel his breath on her face and shivered when he placed his hands on the side of her head.
"You are the most---the most impossible, most arrogant, self centered" Sakura stated angrily trying to push him away, but he just laughed moving closer to her.
"Cold hearted bastard that you've ever met" Syaoran finished chuckling. Who would have thought that he, Li Xiao Lang would love this munchkin so much? Now all he had to do was build up enough nerves to tell her. "But isn't that why you love me? Or am I mistaken" he asked brushing his lips against hers. Sakura tried very hard to think of something to say feeling his tongue touch her lips playfully, but it was just a futile attempt since as he was in such close proximity to her.
"Yo---your mistaken" she replied gripping his shirt pulling him closer to her. "I find it hard not to love everything about you. Didn't Mei Lin tell you that I got over Yukito when I saw a picture of you, after you won that very big marital arts championship?" She asked innocently turning the seducer into the seduced as she teased him.
"Your joke---" Syaoran started to say but was cut off when Sakura's tongue found its way in his mouth, groaning he pulled her closer deepening the kiss.
Downtown Hong Kong.
"What can we do for you ma'am?" a lady asked smiling.
"I'm attending my daughter's wedding tomorrow and I'm in need of the perfect outfit," Vanessa answered looking around at all the elegant outfits. "Price is not a problem" 'even though I'm not attending the wedding but Sakura has to see me in my best' she thought smiling.
"It wouldn't happen to be the Li's wedding? Are you Daidouji Sonomi?" the lady asked excitedly making Vanessa smile.
"It most definitely is, it'll be a wedding to die for.
