* Jin Su's mouth drop open looking at Rika and Alex, "Sorry I was looking for someone" he apologized when it started to drizzle. Shaking his head turned around wondering what the hell was going on. And why the hell was Sakura hiding from him, what was the matter with her?
He walked over to the hammock when something gold caught his attention, bending down he picked up it. Moving it in his hand he couldn't believe what he was looking at. "My ring" he whispered tightening his fist around it.
Rika and Alex sighed resting against each other. "That was too close" he whispered to his wife who nodded giving him a kiss.
"But fun, did you see the look in his eyes?" Rika asked worriedly but her husband didn't look worried at all.
"It's okay, what's the worst that could happen? They could fight it out" he mused as they headed back to the crowd. "That should be a really good fight too"
"Alex" Rika chided making husband laugh. "We don't want a fight but I have a feeling that there is going to be one tonight"
"Yep and there hasn't been a fight over a female in so long" *
*
*
*
* Fujitaka and Rosa watched in amazement like everyone else when Sakura and Syaoran appeared on the dance floor in each other's arms while the others were getting off because of the rain. "This is not going to be good," Touya whispered to Mika and Takashi who nodded in agreement.
"Who you betting on?" an old man asked drunkenly making them smile. "I'm betting on Jin Su my man"
"Your on I'm betting on Syaoran" Touya smiled making the other men around get interested too. While the guys were betting the girls were praying for a miracle, they looked at the couple though and had to admit that they looked happy.
Kai felt her eyes burn, turning she ran to her room leaving her dancing partner behind. She was right, Sakura had stolen Syaoran from her and on an aching ankle she still danced beautifully.
Jin Su on the other hand was seeing red; he couldn't believe Sakura had the nerve to dance with this guy in front of everyone making him look like a no body. He could see the way the men were looking at him; he knew he had to do something. *
*
"We're the center of attention aren't we?" Sakura asked from the spot where he head rested on Syaoran shoulders. The cold rain soaking them but they were going to dance to their song.
"Yeah, I think Jin Su just noticed us" he whispered back when he and Jin Su locked eyes. And he knew that if he wanted Sakura, he was going to have to fight for her tonight right now. And he didn't want to because he didn't want to cause trouble at Kai's special day; he didn't want to ruin it for her.
"This doesn't have to get bad" Sakura replied tightening her hold on him. She didn't want it to get ugly.
"He's coming, move away" Syaoran spoke stepping back but Sakura wouldn't let go of him. "Come on Sakura"
"No he won't attack if I'm near you" Sakura said shaking her head. She wasn't going to let him get hurt by Jin Su.
"What hell do you think your doing with my fiancée?" Jin Su hollered stepping in front of them. He looked at how Sakura was holding unto and that only escalated his anger. "Sakura get away from him!"
"No! Stop it Jin Su. This doesn't have to go any further, please" Sakura pleaded turning to look at him but Jin Su would hear none of it.
"I said get away, your mine! I've waited my entire life to marry you and I'm not going to make this low down scoundrel come here and take you" Jin Su proclaimed making everyone wince. "We've talked about it from since we were babies, are you just going to throw it all away for someone you haven't known more then a two months?" Sakura swallowed hearing the extreme hurt in his voice mixed in with raw anger. She didn't want hurt him but she couldn't marry him knowing she desired Syaoran more.
Everyone thought they were watching a drama seeing the love triangle, some agreed with Jin Su while others didn't. Fujitaka went to get his medical case just in case; this was something he was not going to interfere. No one ever interfered with fights over girls.
"Why are you protecting him?" Jin Su asked like it was the hardest thing to figure out at the moment.
"Because I love him," Sakura answered simply breaking his heart. She had never said those words to anyone but him; no one deserved those words but him.
"You don't he's just confusing you. I know if he hadn't arrive here you would be mine" Jin Su objected shaking his head.
"But he did, god sent him here and straight to our house. He sent Syaoran here for me, he makes me feel alive" Sakura stated firmly blinking back tears. "Jin Su I love you but I love Syaoran more, I'm sorry" she looked at him in regret when the thunder crashed. She saw him turn his head liked he was going to leave but to her utter surprise and everyone else's he came towards them. She felt her self thrust out of the way landing on the ground just in time too see him punch Syaoran in the stomach. "No!" she screamed brushing her hair out of her face. *
*
* Syaoran didn't have time blocking the punch having been distracted getting Sakura out of the way. He stumbled back feeling the air knocked out of him but he blocked Jin Su's next punch upper cutting him in the jaw. "We don't have to do this," he whispered knowing that Jin Su was hurting.
"Fuck you" Jin Su growled attacking him with a serious of punches but he blocked them all hoping he would start to tire but he showed no sign of that. They gasped seeing Jin Su knock Syaoran off his feet but he flips sliding across the wet grass. Wiping the blood from his jaw he knew he would have to take Jin Su serious, he wasn't someone to play around with.
Jin Su thinking he had the fight went for a frontal attack only to find him self-spinning when Syaoran jumped kicked him. He landed on his back with a thud before promptly passing out cold.
Syaoran looked at his body then at Sakura and everyone who was looking at him with wide eyes. Being trained was one of the ups of being a prince, but now that wouldn't help him if these people started to dislike him. He walked over to Sakura to see if she was unscathed. "Are you okay?" he asked bending to her, he smiled looking at her soaked figure. Sakura nodded numbly, she raised her hand and wiped the blood off his lip.
"I should be asking you that," she murmured before hugging him tightly. "Oh I was so scared, I never knew you could fight for well" Syaoran picked her up off the ground. She looked at him and smiled kissing him promptly on the lips wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is Jin Su okay?"
"Yeah he'll just wake up with a terrible head ache," Syaoran answered raising a brow at Touya and the guys who were counting money. Shaking his disapprovingly he smirked making them laugh hiding it from Sakura.
"Come I'll get you two some towels" Rosa ordered walking ahead of them. Most of the people where going home because of the rain but they sure had a lot to talk about. Syaoran followed her up the stairs carrying Sakura to her room; he sat her on her feet slowly when Rosa came in with towels.
"Rosa, where's Kero?" Sakura asked drying hair out.
"I don't know I saw him with Naoko" Rosa answered handing Syaoran a towel as well.
"I'll go and look for him" Syaoran said walking out of the room since as Sakura would have to change out of her wet clothing. When door closed Rosa undressed Sakura but the look on her face, said something was bothering her.
"Sakura, do you plan on marrying Syaoran?" she asked finally making Sakura stop midway in changing. She looked at Rosa not knowing the answer to that, "You've just made him fight for you, and I hope you want to marry him unlike Jin Su"
"I don't know Rosa, we haven't spoken of that" Sakura answered putting dry clothing on. She wasn't sure she wanted to marry Syaoran then have to leave him like how her mother left her father.
"I suggest you think about that, he is not like Jin Su" Rosa warned softly. Sakura gave her a lost look, she didn't understand. "Can't you see that from since you've been with him he's happier? He just fought for you and if you don't want to marry him he's never going to leave you" that thought scared her somewhat.
She loved him but she didn't want to move to far and then hurt him. She couldn't bear hurting him. "I'm never going to leave him either" 'I'll always be with him in spirit' she thought. *

Downstairs. *

*
* Syaoran walked through the crowd of people inside the house not knowing more then half of them. "Kero?" he called looking for the pup in his wet clothing.
"I heard that the crown prince of china died from a tragic plane crash. They haven't found his body yet but there's a reward going out for any sign of the jet and it's a lot" Syaoran over heard a man say. "Yep my granddaughter wrote me about it, even that his father died of a heart attack" he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Are you sure about this?" he heard the other ask.
"Of course, they say his cousin Xin Tao is going to be crowned in the upcoming months" Syaoran couldn't believe his father had died. Shaking his head he walked to the door and outside in the rain blocking out everyone. He ran out in Sakura's backyard, moving through the woods he cut through the road that led to the beach. He ran all the way there; he stopped looking out at the night ocean as waves crashed on the shore. "Father" he whispered looking down at the ground.
He knew he had never lived up the great expectations of his father but he had never thought he would die. He wondered how his mother and sisters were holding up. Maybe he was a coward for deserting his family and only thinking about himself but he knew they were strong. They didn't need him, he wasn't needed there but here he had a purpose. "Good bye, father" he whispered clenching his fists tightly. Sitting down on the sand he looked out at the dark water. *

*
*
* Next morning. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran walked through the door of Yukito and Nakuru's house making sure to be quiet since as it was still really early in the morning and people would be sleeping in after last night. He walked to his room and opened the door only to see Sakura sound asleep on the bed. Shaking his head he closed it still soaked the bone since, as the rain hadn't stopped. Seeing that she was asleep he started to take off his wet clothing, before he got unnecessarily sick. He walked over to the closet and took out dry clothing so he could get some sleep, that's all he wanted at the moment.
Sakura heard movement inside the room and opened her eyes slowly only to see Syaoran pulling a dry shirt over his head. She lay still wondering where he had been all night; she felt her eyes burn remembering how she thought he had left her.
Syaoran turned around when he heard sniffling to see Sakura crying on his bed. He didn't know why she was crying, "What's the matter?" he asked walking over to her but Sakura looked away wiping her tears away. "Sakura?" he touched her on the back.
"It's Kinomoto to you buster" she replied catching him off guard. "Where have you been all night? I thought you left" Syaoran couldn't believe she thought he had left her. Why would he do such a thing after fighting for her? Lying beside her on the side so he was facing her he wiped her tears away.
"Why would you think such a thing?" he asked looking in her eyes, Sakura looked away sniffling.
"Well you said you were going to look for Kero and everyone in the house saw you take off and then I couldn't find you and never came back here" Sakura answered guilty feeling like a nitwit. Chuckling Syaoran pulled her close to him brushing her soft hair.
"I'm sorry but you should have checked the beach" he told her making Sakura looked at him oddly.
"Why in gods name would you go the beach in the rain at night right after you killed a shark?" shrugging he closed his eyes momentarily.
"That doesn't matter, what matters is that you know I'll never leave you," he stated touching her cheek. "I love you Sakura," he whispered making her smile softly before kissing him. They locked eyes with each other sharing the same exact emotion.
Syaoran laid her on her back as the kiss escalated into something more. Sakura moved her hands down his back pulling his shirt up as one of Syaoran's legs moved between hers. He broke the kiss so she could pull the shirt off and throw it on the floor.
He kissed her neck down to her collarbone, moving her slip down he kiss unto the rise of her breast. Clothing fell off the bed, moans bounced off the walls as shadows merge into one being. The temperature of the room seemed to rise as a thin coat of sweat made their bodies slide against the other.
Sakura's nail dug into his back, as sensations raced through her body. She arched into him as her need to feel more of him swore. She felt like she was flying through the clouds as the raindrop beat against the roof, killing out her screams of pleasure.
Syaoran buried his face in her neck as they hands intertwined above her head as they moved together. *

*
*
* Lunchtime. *
*
*
*
*
* Rosa sat in front of Kai and Fujitaka looking at her gloomy face. "Kai eat up then you can go by your friends house" Rosa spoke making Kai look at her with lost eyes.
"I'm not hungry" Kai answered playing with Kero, who she found in her sister's room last night asleep. "Father?"
"Hai Kai?" he looked at her taking off his glasses. He hoped that Sakura and Syaoran were fine; if they didn't arrive soon he would have to go and look for them.
"Am I ever going to be happy? Why don't I have the same luck as Sakura, how come everyone loves her so much?" she asked teary eyed making Fujitaka get up and sat beside her.
"That's not true, we love you and Sakura the same" he stated but Kai shook her head tears streaming down her face.
"No we're not, she got your hair and mother's eyes and beauty" Rosa looked at Kai sadly shaking her head.
"You stop it child, stop feeling sorry for your self. You can't make someone who doesn't love you, love you it's impossible. It doesn't work that way you hear me?" Rosa stated getting up from the table. "You can't make people love it's impossible" she whispered softly. "I don't want you acting silly when Sakura and Syaoran come by, you've already made Sakura feel bad. She doesn't need to feel guilt for you and Jin Su at the same time"
"But I love him, she promised me she wouldn't make him fall in love with her" Kai wailed feeling miserably. She just wanted them to see that she should have had a chance at getting Syaoran.
"He only sees you are a sister, you can't make people love you" Fujitaka hushed hugging to her to him. "Tell me, if you were to get Syaoran and you married him. Could you live every single day knowing he loved your sister more?" he asked her. Kai thought about it, she would have him but she wouldn't have his love. She didn't want him if he didn't love her more then Sakura.
"No" she finally whispered hugging her father tightly. "I just wanted someone to love me too"
"And someone will love you, your still young my dear there are more like Syaoran out there. You just have to find your own" Rosa spoke patting Kai on the head making her nod. *

*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *

*
* He smiled resting against the wall fully dressed, the rain had stopped and the sun was peeking through the clouds. He had never felt so complete before in his entire life. He rested his head beside Sakura's as she turned the last page of his album; he inhaled her amazing scent looking at the picture. "Your sister's and Mei Lin, Eriol, and Jamie" she spoke having the names down.
She moved her hands over their gorgeous dresses wondering why they were dressed so elegantly. She looked up at Syaoran wondering if he was from some kind of rich family. "Where was this taken?" she asked softly feeling him kiss her ear.
"At my birthday party three years ago," he answered rubbing his thumb against her stomach covered by her dress.
"Will I ever meet any of your family?" Syaoran looked down at her wondering how he would answer her. He would love for his friends and sisters to meet her. He knew they would love her but then there was the other half of his family.
"Sure if you want, we can go and visit them sometime in the future" he answered knowing that that sometime would be many years from now. He didn't dear go home now; he knew that he would have to take his father's place if he did.
Sakura closed the book and touched his chain and pendent that was now around her neck. It was her engagement ring even though it was way to big for her finger. She would treasure it though because if belong to Syaoran, and it was beautifully crafted. They had just given them selves to each other and even though it was out of wedlock, neither regretted it. She couldn't wait to do it again in fact he was wonderful. "Should get going to my house before my father comes looking for us with a search party" she murmured making him nod in agreement. "Besides we've got wonderful news to tell them right?"
"Yeah, about our long engagement" Syaoran spoke kissing her on the cheek. "Even though I would love to marry you tomorrow" he whispered. 'I want to marry you tomorrow too but I've got to see how long I'll live' she thought ruefully closing her eyes. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing's the matter, I feel wonderful," she answered resting between his legs. She felt a little tired but other then that and the slight pain between her legs she was cool. "What are we going to do today since as work starts again tomorrow?" she asked thoughtfully wanting to spend the whole day with him.
"Anything you want and the faster we get to your house the more time we have together" he whispered making her slid off the bed. She walked to the door and opened it only to see silence she figured Yukito and Nakuru had gone out.
"Come on slow poke" she joked pulling him through the door. He smiled walking behind her. "If you hurry when we reach my house I'll feed you" she teased, she yelped when Syaoran threw her over his shoulder walking faster to the door. "Ah what are you doing?" she laughed moving her hair out of the way.
"If I run with you we'll reach faster" Syaoran answered making giggle shaking her head hopelessly at her fiancé. If seemed that all he thought about most of the other then her was his stomach.
"Syaoran put me down, the blood is reaching to my head" she whined making him comply placing her safely on the ground. Shaking her head she grabbed his hover board. "How about you walk and I ride?" she asked it and getting on.
"How about the other way around?" he asked running after her when she took off not going too fast. "Hey slow"
"Not a chance, you need the work out" Sakura joked looking back at him quickly.
"Hah that's a lie" Syaoran yelled back running after her making sure to avoid the puddles. They both looked at Kai who came running towards them looking tired.
"Sakura, hurry Chiharu's gone into labor," Kai yelled getting her attention. "Father needs your help"
"Is she okay?" Sakura asked getting off the board picking it up since as she could run faster then the rate she was going.
"Yeah but the baby doesn't seem like it's going to come anytime soon" Kai answered breathing hard. "Everyone's at their house, poor Takashi is freaking out if it wasn't for Chiharu it would be kind of comical"
"Come on let's go" Sakura said taking hold of Syaoran's hand. "Oh I can't believe this is happening" they took off towards Takashi's house.
Up on the hill Jin Su sat on his porch and watched them run past, his grip on the cup tightened as he played with his engagement ring in the other hand. "We'll see how long you last" he spat when they disappeared.
"I always told you was just a waste of time. There are other pretty girls on his island, more he would treat you better then she ever could" Mame chided before continuing with her sowing. Jin Su ignored her when his sister walked out unto the porch smiling.
"Cheer up, Alexis Mr. White's daughter is coming home from boarding school in two days. She's a real catch too and she's always had a thing for you" Angel chided sitting in front of her brother. "And she's got the latest news, even pictures of that dead prince" she held up Alexis letter continuing to read. *
*

When they arrived at Chiharu's house Sakura went directly to the bedroom leaving Syaoran with the men and children. He sat down beside Alex and began to watch like all the other's as Takashi paced. "Tak if you don't slow down, your going to cut a hole through your floor" Mika warned jokingly but Takashi didn't stop. Shaking his head he paid attention to his son who was fussing.
"Don't worry everyone except Syaoran knows how it feels" Touya comforted making them look at Syaoran and laugh. He folded his arms over his chest ignoring Touya's comments.
"Mail comes in two days, if you have any family to send it to you have to get it to the man before the day he leaves" Alex stated making him nod.
"Is there any phones on this island?" Syaoran inquired softly but they shook their heads.
"Only Mr. White has can get quick contact with the large island, he has one of the fastest boats on the island" Takashi answered running his hand through his hair as he looked at Syaoran. "Man you need a hair cut" he commented looking at Syaoran's hair that almost touched his shoulders. "You look like a girl"
"Whatever Yamazaki" Syaoran muttered dryly running his hand through his hair making the guys shake their heads.
"By the way, that was some kick last night" Mika commented. "If we have more fights with you winning we'll be rich" he teased making Syaoran smirked raising his brow at them.
"That wouldn't go too well with Sakura" he replied making them laugh. "She is the only person I'm afraid of on this island" he joked when Sakura walked out of the room and looked at him.
"You had better be" she smiled when Takashi looked at her expectantly. She saw his eyes lighten when the scream of a baby could be heard. "Ah not yet, she has to get cleaned up first, oh you've got a baby girl. She's simply gorgeous" she beamed making Takashi sigh.
"And my wife?" he asked relaxing against the wall of his house.
"She's going to kill you for making her go through such pain" Sakura laughed seeing his gulp.
"Translation, she's great" Touya muttered shaking his head. "It seems that all wives say that right after child birth" he commented.
"Rika lived up to it, she came after me with a frying pan" Alex inputted making them shout with laughter looking at him. "You can laugh but I wasn't laughing when she clobbered me"
"I don't think your helping Takashi" Syaoran chuckled seeing him pale.
"Takashi!" Chiharu called from the back making him edge to the door. "Takashi don't even think about it" they all wondered how knew this and grinned at him as he walked slowly towards the back. Syaoran looked at him and wondered if he wanted children but then looking at Sakura and he knew he could take being clobbered in the head a couple dozen times. That thought made him laugh when Sakura walked over to him.
"What's so funny?" she asked sitting on his lap, Syaoran whispered what he was thinking making Sakura blush crimson swallowing her giggles. "Think you could?" she teased poking him in the chest.
"Oh course, my mother always said I was hard headed" Syaoran answered making her laughed resting her head on his shoulder. "Maybe it'll come into use"
"Your horrible" she replied making him kiss her on the cheek. Fujitaka walked out of the room with the other females. He looked at Sakura and Syaoran and smiled wondering they were talking about.
"Chiharu wants us to welcome her daughter tomorrow" Naoko smiled picking up her baby. "She wants us to make sure it's a clear night and the water is calm,"
"That's great, I want to send one out" Yukito smiled looking at his wife who nodded slowly.
"Yeah me too" Kai inputted wishing for true love like what her sister had. "And I guess Sakura and Syaoran will want to send one out too" she mused getting their attention.
"Yeah, we wanted to tell you guys that we're going to have a long engagement until we have enough to build our home" Sakura stated making them cheer happily. She laughed looking at Syaoran whose eyes shown with adoration.
"Whelp, I'll go and inform everyone about the new life" Yukito said getting up from his seat. "One thing I hate is climbing that hill to the bell but I've got the do it"
Syaoran looked at Sakura with lost eyes making her smile resting her head on his shoulder. "Whenever the first child of a family is born, the first male or when someone dies. Everyone gathers on the beach wearing full white and they send out small boats filled with flowers. We believe it'll give them good luck for life or passing over, like lighting their path. People do it to find love too or wish for a happy and long life" she explained making him nod in understanding.
"Are we going to wish for a long life together?" he asked making her giggle nodding. He smiled touching her cheek. "And a couple dozen children?" she blushed prettily.
"Yes a really long life" Sakura replied resting her forehead against his. Syaoran touched his pendent knowing he would send one out to his father.
"If you two continue that way we'll have to get you married tomorrow, it would be right since as you two act like your married already" Rosa stated making Sakura's cheeks pinking at this she wondered what they had done.
"We'll get married when Sakura feels ready" Syaoran answered standing up with Sakura.
"Which is next week we hope" Naoko laughed winking at Sakura. "She doesn't know what she missing out on" Sakura laughed shaking her head at her friends tactics.
"Young people these days" Rosa sighed making them laugh. "Come now, out Takashi and Chiharu need some peace and quiet. Sakura you'll have to make dinner I'm going to stay with them for a while"
"Hai Kai and I will make dinner don't worry" Sakura nodded as Rosa shooed them out the door. "Tell Chiharu we'll come and see her tomorrow"
"I will hurry now" she called watching them leave. She looked at Syaoran and Sakura and smiled. Hopefully they would build up enough guts and marry soon, they would save each other, she knew.
Syaoran and Sakura walked behind Fujitaka and Kai who was trying to ride the hover board. "We have to wake up really early tomorrow so we can make it to the beach and have boats out on the water before the sun hits it" Sakura stated knowing they would have to make some tonight but it wouldn't be hard.
"So we celebrate for life at dawn and for death at dusk?" Syaoran asked making nod her smiling.
"You're a fast learner" she giggled then began to choke making him stop looking at him her worriedly. Sakura was starting to turn red in the face making him get really scared.
"What's the matter, come breath" Syaoran soothed holding her up when Fujitaka and Kai ran up looking at her worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Fujitaka asked looking at Sakura, who was taking in a much air as she could get. "Sakura, sweetie?"
"I'm fine, just tired" she whispered weakly looking up at them with a flush face. She smiled weakly to assure them that she was okay; she didn't want to see any of them worrying about her.
"I'm carrying you" Syaoran said picking her up. Sakura nodded resting her head on his chest as they continued to walk towards their home. Fujitaka looked at his daughter feeling the same nervousness he felt around wife lurking around. Syaoran looked down at Sakura who was falling asleep wondering what had triggered that.
Kai looked at sister wondering if the pills she once found in Sakura's room had anything to do with this. She would have to wait and see if she took them tonight before she said anything to them. She prayed that she wasn't getting the same thing their mother died from.
"Bring her upstairs so she can rest" Fujitaka said to Syaoran when they walked into the house. He nodded and started up the stairs but Sakura shook her head. "Sakura you need to rest" he said brushing her hair off her face.
"Can we go outside instead?" she asked softly. "It's sunny out the hammock should be dry" Fujitaka nodded at Syaoran making him turn around. Syaoran walked through the door and headed towards the hammock.
"How is this going to work?" he asked making Sakura smile shaking her head at him.
"Set me down, we have to get on at the same time on opposite sides," she answered he sat her down and walked to the other side. They got on at the same time and Sakura rested her head on his chest as he rocked it back and forth with his foot that was on the ground.
"Do you feel better?" he asked hugging her to him. He never wanted to see her have another problem like that it made him feel nervous, which was something he didn't like feeling.
"Yeah I'm feeling a little better, please just lay here with me" Sakura whispered feeling sleepy. He nodded looking up at the sky as they rocked back and forth, she closed her eyes begging god to give her a little more time with him 'just a little more time' she pleaded mentally before drifting off. *
*
*
* Kai stood at the window looking out at them as her father searched through some old files. She didn't know why her father was getting so scared Sakura looked fine, shaking her head she walked over to the stove to start dinner. Sakura and Rosa usually cooked but since as they couldn't do it, it was left to her. "Well Kero it's just you and me" Kero looked at her before walking out the door in the direction of Sakura. "Never mind, stupid dog" she muttered. "Father?"
"Hai Kai?" Fujitaka called not able to find what he was looking for and it was getting on his nerves.
"Could you stop what you're doing and help me cook? If you say no there's a chance we might not have a house tonight" she called making him smile getting up from his chair. He would take her word for it, walking in the kitchen he picked up his apron looking out the window at Sakura, Syaoran and Kero was sleeping on Sakura's belly. Shaking his head to clear it of such thoughts he walked over to his youngest child.
"All right let's begin, your going to need to learn how to cook if you plan on getting married" he joked making Kai stick her tongue out at him.
"Hah I plan on taking Rosa with me when I get married" Kai stated full of mirth making him chuckle. *

* Jin Su's mouth drop open looking at Rika and Alex, "Sorry I was looking for someone" he apologized when it started to drizzle. Shaking his head turned around wondering what the hell was going on. And why the hell was Sakura hiding from him, what was the matter with her?
He walked over to the hammock when something gold caught his attention, bending down he picked up it. Moving it in his hand he couldn't believe what he was looking at. "My ring" he whispered tightening his fist around it.
Rika and Alex sighed resting against each other. "That was too close" he whispered to his wife who nodded giving him a kiss.
"But fun, did you see the look in his eyes?" Rika asked worriedly but her husband didn't look worried at all.
"It's okay, what's the worst that could happen? They could fight it out" he mused as they headed back to the crowd. "That should be a really good fight too"
"Alex" Rika chided making husband laugh. "We don't want a fight but I have a feeling that there is going to be one tonight"
"Yep and there hasn't been a fight over a female in so long" *
*
*
*
* Fujitaka and Rosa watched in amazement like everyone else when Sakura and Syaoran appeared on the dance floor in each other's arms while the others were getting off because of the rain. "This is not going to be good," Touya whispered to Mika and Takashi who nodded in agreement.
"Who you betting on?" an old man asked drunkenly making them smile. "I'm betting on Jin Su my man"
"Your on I'm betting on Syaoran" Touya smiled making the other men around get interested too. While the guys were betting the girls were praying for a miracle, they looked at the couple though and had to admit that they looked happy.
Kai felt her eyes burn, turning she ran to her room leaving her dancing partner behind. She was right, Sakura had stolen Syaoran from her and on an aching ankle she still danced beautifully.
Jin Su on the other hand was seeing red; he couldn't believe Sakura had the nerve to dance with this guy in front of everyone making him look like a no body. He could see the way the men were looking at him; he knew he had to do something. *

"We're the center of attention aren't we?" Sakura asked from the spot where he head rested on Syaoran shoulders. The cold rain soaking them but they were going to dance to their song.
"Yeah, I think Jin Su just noticed us" he whispered back when he and Jin Su locked eyes. And he knew that if he wanted Sakura, he was going to have to fight for her tonight right now. And he didn't want to because he didn't want to cause trouble at Kai's special day; he didn't want to ruin it for her.
"This doesn't have to get bad" Sakura replied tightening her hold on him. She didn't want it to get ugly.
"He's coming, move away" Syaoran spoke stepping back but Sakura wouldn't let go of him. "Come on Sakura"
"No he won't attack if I'm near you" Sakura said shaking her head. She wasn't going to let him get hurt by Jin Su.
"What hell do you think your doing with my fiancée?" Jin Su hollered stepping in front of them. He looked at how Sakura was holding unto and that only escalated his anger. "Sakura get away from him!"
"No! Stop it Jin Su. This doesn't have to go any further, please" Sakura pleaded turning to look at him but Jin Su would hear none of it.
"I said get away, your mine! I've waited my entire life to marry you and I'm not going to make this low down scoundrel come here and take you" Jin Su proclaimed making everyone wince. "We've talked about it from since we were babies, are you just going to throw it all away for someone you haven't known more then a two months?" Sakura swallowed hearing the extreme hurt in his voice mixed in with raw anger. She didn't want hurt him but she couldn't marry him knowing she desired Syaoran more.
Everyone thought they were watching a drama seeing the love triangle, some agreed with Jin Su while others didn't. Fujitaka went to get his medical case just in case; this was something he was not going to interfere. No one ever interfered with fights over girls.
"Why are you protecting him?" Jin Su asked like it was the hardest thing to figure out at the moment.
"Because I love him," Sakura answered simply breaking his heart. She had never said those words to anyone but him; no one deserved those words but him.
"You don't he's just confusing you. I know if he hadn't arrive here you would be mine" Jin Su objected shaking his head.
"But he did, god sent him here and straight to our house. He sent Syaoran here for me, he makes me feel alive" Sakura stated firmly blinking back tears. "Jin Su I love you but I love Syaoran more, I'm sorry" she looked at him in regret when the thunder crashed. She saw him turn his head liked he was going to leave but to her utter surprise and everyone else's he came towards them. She felt her self thrust out of the way landing on the ground just in time too see him punch Syaoran in the stomach. "No!" she screamed brushing her hair out of her face. *
*
* Syaoran didn't have time blocking the punch having been distracted getting Sakura out of the way. He stumbled back feeling the air knocked out of him but he blocked Jin Su's next punch upper cutting him in the jaw. "We don't have to do this," he whispered knowing that Jin Su was hurting.
"Fuck you" Jin Su growled attacking him with a serious of punches but he blocked them all hoping he would start to tire but he showed no sign of that. They gasped seeing Jin Su knock Syaoran off his feet but he flips sliding across the wet grass. Wiping the blood from his jaw he knew he would have to take Jin Su serious, he wasn't someone to play around with.
Jin Su thinking he had the fight went for a frontal attack only to find him self-spinning when Syaoran jumped kicked him. He landed on his back with a thud before promptly passing out cold.
Syaoran looked at his body then at Sakura and everyone who was looking at him with wide eyes. Being trained was one of the ups of being a prince, but now that wouldn't help him if these people started to dislike him. He walked over to Sakura to see if she was unscathed. "Are you okay?" he asked bending to her, he smiled looking at her soaked figure. Sakura nodded numbly, she raised her hand and wiped the blood off his lip.
"I should be asking you that," she murmured before hugging him tightly. "Oh I was so scared, I never knew you could fight for well" Syaoran picked her up off the ground. She looked at him and smiled kissing him promptly on the lips wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is Jin Su okay?"
"Yeah he'll just wake up with a terrible head ache," Syaoran answered raising a brow at Touya and the guys who were counting money. Shaking his disapprovingly he smirked making them laugh hiding it from Sakura.
"Come I'll get you two some towels" Rosa ordered walking ahead of them. Most of the people where going home because of the rain but they sure had a lot to talk about. Syaoran followed her up the stairs carrying Sakura to her room; he sat her on her feet slowly when Rosa came in with towels.
"Rosa, where's Kero?" Sakura asked drying hair out.
"I don't know I saw him with Naoko" Rosa answered handing Syaoran a towel as well.
"I'll go and look for him" Syaoran said walking out of the room since as Sakura would have to change out of her wet clothing. When door closed Rosa undressed Sakura but the look on her face, said something was bothering her.
"Sakura, do you plan on marrying Syaoran?" she asked finally making Sakura stop midway in changing. She looked at Rosa not knowing the answer to that, "You've just made him fight for you, and I hope you want to marry him unlike Jin Su"
"I don't know Rosa, we haven't spoken of that" Sakura answered putting dry clothing on. She wasn't sure she wanted to marry Syaoran then have to leave him like how her mother left her father.
"I suggest you think about that, he is not like Jin Su" Rosa warned softly. Sakura gave her a lost look, she didn't understand. "Can't you see that from since you've been with him he's happier? He just fought for you and if you don't want to marry him he's never going to leave you" that thought scared her somewhat.
She loved him but she didn't want to move to far and then hurt him. She couldn't bear hurting him. "I'm never going to leave him either" 'I'll always be with him in spirit' she thought. *

Downstairs. *

*
*
*
* Syaoran walked through the crowd of people inside the house not knowing more then half of them. "Kero?" he called looking for the pup in his wet clothing.
"I heard that the crown prince of china died from a tragic plane crash. They haven't found his body yet but there's a reward going out for any sign of the jet and it's a lot" Syaoran over heard a man say. "Yep my granddaughter wrote me about it, even that his father died of a heart attack" he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Are you sure about this?" he heard the other ask.
"Of course, they say his cousin Xin Tao is going to be crowned in the upcoming months" Syaoran couldn't believe his father had died. Shaking his head he walked to the door and outside in the rain blocking out everyone. He ran out in Sakura's backyard, moving through the woods he cut through the road that led to the beach. He ran all the way there; he stopped looking out at the night ocean as waves crashed on the shore. "Father" he whispered looking down at the ground.
He knew he had never lived up the great expectations of his father but he had never thought he would die. He wondered how his mother and sisters were holding up. Maybe he was a coward for deserting his family and only thinking about himself but he knew they were strong. They didn't need him, he wasn't needed there but here he had a purpose. "Good bye, father" he whispered clenching his fists tightly. Sitting down on the sand he looked out at the dark water. *
*
*
*
* Next morning. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran walked through the door of Yukito and Nakuru's house making sure to be quiet since as it was still really early in the morning and people would be sleeping in after last night. He walked to his room and opened the door only to see Sakura sound asleep on the bed. Shaking his head he closed it still soaked the bone since, as the rain hadn't stopped. Seeing that she was asleep he started to take off his wet clothing, before he got unnecessarily sick. He walked over to the closet and took out dry clothing so he could get some sleep, that's all he wanted at the moment.
Sakura heard movement inside the room and opened her eyes slowly only to see Syaoran pulling a dry shirt over his head. She lay still wondering where he had been all night; she felt her eyes burn remembering how she thought he had left her.
Syaoran turned around when he heard sniffling to see Sakura crying on his bed. He didn't know why she was crying, "What's the matter?" he asked walking over to her but Sakura looked away wiping her tears away. "Sakura?" he touched her on the back.
"It's Kinomoto to you buster" she replied catching him off guard. "Where have you been all night? I thought you left" Syaoran couldn't believe she thought he had left her. Why would he do such a thing after fighting for her? Lying beside her on the side so he was facing her he wiped her tears away.
"Why would you think such a thing?" he asked looking in her eyes, Sakura looked away sniffling.
"Well you said you were going to look for Kero and everyone in the house saw you take off and then I couldn't find you and never came back here" Sakura answered guilty feeling like a nitwit. Chuckling Syaoran pulled her close to him brushing her soft hair.
"I'm sorry but you should have checked the beach" he told her making Sakura looked at him oddly.
"Why in gods name would you go the beach in the rain at night right after you killed a shark?" shrugging he closed his eyes momentarily.
"That doesn't matter, what matters is that you know I'll never leave you," he stated touching her cheek. "I love you Sakura," he whispered making her smile softly before kissing him. They locked eyes with each other sharing the same exact emotion.
Syaoran laid her on her back as the kiss escalated into something more. Sakura moved her hands down his back pulling his shirt up as one of Syaoran's legs moved between hers. He broke the kiss so she could pull the shirt off and throw it on the floor.
He kissed her neck down to her collarbone, moving her slip down he kiss unto the rise of her breast. Clothing fell off the bed, moans bounced off the walls as shadows merge into one being. The temperature of the room seemed to rise as a thin coat of sweat made their bodies slide against the other.
Sakura's nail dug into his back, as sensations raced through her body. She arched into him as her need to feel more of him swore. She felt like she was flying through the clouds as the raindrop beat against the roof, killing out her screams of pleasure.
Syaoran buried his face in her neck as they hands intertwined above her head as they moved together. *

*
* Lunchtime. *
*

*
*
* Rosa sat in front of Kai and Fujitaka looking at her gloomy face. "Kai eat up then you can go by your friends house" Rosa spoke making Kai look at her with lost eyes.
"I'm not hungry" Kai answered playing with Kero, who she found in her sister's room last night asleep. "Father?"
"Hai Kai?" he looked at her taking off his glasses. He hoped that Sakura and Syaoran were fine; if they didn't arrive soon he would have to go and look for them.
"Am I ever going to be happy? Why don't I have the same luck as Sakura, how come everyone loves her so much?" she asked teary eyed making Fujitaka get up and sat beside her.
"That's not true, we love you and Sakura the same" he stated but Kai shook her head tears streaming down her face.
"No we're not, she got your hair and mother's eyes and beauty" Rosa looked at Kai sadly shaking her head.
"You stop it child, stop feeling sorry for your self. You can't make someone who doesn't love you, love you it's impossible. It doesn't work that way you hear me?" Rosa stated getting up from the table. "You can't make people love it's impossible" she whispered softly. "I don't want you acting silly when Sakura and Syaoran come by, you've already made Sakura feel bad. She doesn't need to feel guilt for you and Jin Su at the same time"
"But I love him, she promised me she wouldn't make him fall in love with her" Kai wailed feeling miserably. She just wanted them to see that she should have had a chance at getting Syaoran.
"He only sees you are a sister, you can't make people love you" Fujitaka hushed hugging to her to him. "Tell me, if you were to get Syaoran and you married him. Could you live every single day knowing he loved your sister more?" he asked her. Kai thought about it, she would have him but she wouldn't have his love. She didn't want him if he didn't love her more then Sakura.
"No" she finally whispered hugging her father tightly. "I just wanted someone to love me too"
"And someone will love you, your still young my dear there are more like Syaoran out there. You just have to find your own" Rosa spoke patting Kai on the head making her nod. *

*
*
* Syaoran. *

* He smiled resting against the wall fully dressed, the rain had stopped and the sun was peeking through the clouds. He had never felt so complete before in his entire life. He rested his head beside Sakura's as she turned the last page of his album; he inhaled her amazing scent looking at the picture. "Your sister's and Mei Lin, Eriol, and Jamie" she spoke having the names down.
She moved her hands over their gorgeous dresses wondering why they were dressed so elegantly. She looked up at Syaoran wondering if he was from some kind of rich family. "Where was this taken?" she asked softly feeling him kiss her ear.
"At my birthday party three years ago," he answered rubbing his thumb against her stomach covered by her dress.
"Will I ever meet any of your family?" Syaoran looked down at her wondering how he would answer her. He would love for his friends and sisters to meet her. He knew they would love her but then there was the other half of his family.
"Sure if you want, we can go and visit them sometime in the future" he answered knowing that that sometime would be many years from now. He didn't dear go home now; he knew that he would have to take his father's place if he did.
Sakura closed the book and touched his chain and pendent that was now around her neck. It was her engagement ring even though it was way to big for her finger. She would treasure it though because if belong to Syaoran, and it was beautifully crafted. They had just given them selves to each other and even though it was out of wedlock, neither regretted it. She couldn't wait to do it again in fact he was wonderful. "Should get going to my house before my father comes looking for us with a search party" she murmured making him nod in agreement. "Besides we've got wonderful news to tell them right?"
"Yeah, about our long engagement" Syaoran spoke kissing her on the cheek. "Even though I would love to marry you tomorrow" he whispered. 'I want to marry you tomorrow too but I've got to see how long I'll live' she thought ruefully closing her eyes. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing's the matter, I feel wonderful," she answered resting between his legs. She felt a little tired but other then that and the slight pain between her legs she was cool. "What are we going to do today since as work starts again tomorrow?" she asked thoughtfully wanting to spend the whole day with him.
"Anything you want and the faster we get to your house the more time we have together" he whispered making her slid off the bed. She walked to the door and opened it only to see silence she figured Yukito and Nakuru had gone out.
"Come on slow poke" she joked pulling him through the door. He smiled walking behind her. "If you hurry when we reach my house I'll feed you" she teased, she yelped when Syaoran threw her over his shoulder walking faster to the door. "Ah what are you doing?" she laughed moving her hair out of the way.
"If I run with you we'll reach faster" Syaoran answered making giggle shaking her head hopelessly at her fiancé. If seemed that all he thought about most of the other then her was his stomach.
"Syaoran put me down, the blood is reaching to my head" she whined making him comply placing her safely on the ground. Shaking her head she grabbed his hover board. "How about you walk and I ride?" she asked it and getting on.
"How about the other way around?" he asked running after her when she took off not going too fast. "Hey slow"
"Not a chance, you need the work out" Sakura joked looking back at him quickly.
"Hah that's a lie" Syaoran yelled back running after her making sure to avoid the puddles. They both looked at Kai who came running towards them looking tired.
"Sakura, hurry Chiharu's gone into labor," Kai yelled getting her attention. "Father needs your help"
"Is she okay?" Sakura asked getting off the board picking it up since as she could run faster then the rate she was going.
"Yeah but the baby doesn't seem like it's going to come anytime soon" Kai answered breathing hard. "Everyone's at their house, poor Takashi is freaking out if it wasn't for Chiharu it would be kind of comical"
"Come on let's go" Sakura said taking hold of Syaoran's hand. "Oh I can't believe this is happening" they took off towards Takashi's house.
Up on the hill Jin Su sat on his porch and watched them run past, his grip on the cup tightened as he played with his engagement ring in the other hand. "We'll see how long you last" he spat when they disappeared.
"I always told you was just a waste of time. There are other pretty girls on his island, more he would treat you better then she ever could" Mame chided before continuing with her sowing. Jin Su ignored her when his sister walked out unto the porch smiling.
"Cheer up, Alexis Mr. White's daughter is coming home from boarding school in two days. She's a real catch too and she's always had a thing for you" Angel chided sitting in front of her brother. "And she's got the latest news, even pictures of that dead prince" she held up Alexis letter continuing to read. *

When they arrived at Chiharu's house Sakura went directly to the bedroom leaving Syaoran with the men and children. He sat down beside Alex and began to watch like all the other's as Takashi paced. "Tak if you don't slow down, your going to cut a hole through your floor" Mika warned jokingly but Takashi didn't stop. Shaking his head he paid attention to his son who was fussing.
"Don't worry everyone except Syaoran knows how it feels" Touya comforted making them look at Syaoran and laugh. He folded his arms over his chest ignoring Touya's comments.
"Mail comes in two days, if you have any family to send it to you have to get it to the man before the day he leaves" Alex stated making him nod.
"Is there any phones on this island?" Syaoran inquired softly but they shook their heads.
"Only Mr. White has can get quick contact with the large island, he has one of the fastest boats on the island" Takashi answered running his hand through his hair as he looked at Syaoran. "Man you need a hair cut" he commented looking at Syaoran's hair that almost touched his shoulders. "You look like a girl"
"Whatever Yamazaki" Syaoran muttered dryly running his hand through his hair making the guys shake their heads.
"By the way, that was some kick last night" Mika commented. "If we have more fights with you winning we'll be rich" he teased making Syaoran smirked raising his brow at them.
"That wouldn't go too well with Sakura" he replied making them laugh. "She is the only person I'm afraid of on this island" he joked when Sakura walked out of the room and looked at him.
"You had better be" she smiled when Takashi looked at her expectantly. She saw his eyes lighten when the scream of a baby could be heard. "Ah not yet, she has to get cleaned up first, oh you've got a baby girl. She's simply gorgeous" she beamed making Takashi sigh.
"And my wife?" he asked relaxing against the wall of his house.
"She's going to kill you for making her go through such pain" Sakura laughed seeing his gulp.
"Translation, she's great" Touya muttered shaking his head. "It seems that all wives say that right after child birth" he commented.
"Rika lived up to it, she came after me with a frying pan" Alex inputted making them shout with laughter looking at him. "You can laugh but I wasn't laughing when she clobbered me"
"I don't think your helping Takashi" Syaoran chuckled seeing him pale.
"Takashi!" Chiharu called from the back making him edge to the door. "Takashi don't even think about it" they all wondered how knew this and grinned at him as he walked slowly towards the back. Syaoran looked at him and wondered if he wanted children but then looking at Sakura and he knew he could take being clobbered in the head a couple dozen times. That thought made him laugh when Sakura walked over to him.
"What's so funny?" she asked sitting on his lap, Syaoran whispered what he was thinking making Sakura blush crimson swallowing her giggles. "Think you could?" she teased poking him in the chest.
"Oh course, my mother always said I was hard headed" Syaoran answered making her laughed resting her head on his shoulder. "Maybe it'll come into use"
"Your horrible" she replied making him kiss her on the cheek. Fujitaka walked out of the room with the other females. He looked at Sakura and Syaoran and smiled wondering they were talking about.
"Chiharu wants us to welcome her daughter tomorrow" Naoko smiled picking up her baby. "She wants us to make sure it's a clear night and the water is calm,"
"That's great, I want to send one out" Yukito smiled looking at his wife who nodded slowly.
"Yeah me too" Kai inputted wishing for true love like what her sister had. "And I guess Sakura and Syaoran will want to send one out too" she mused getting their attention.
"Yeah, we wanted to tell you guys that we're going to have a long engagement until we have enough to build our home" Sakura stated making them cheer happily. She laughed looking at Syaoran whose eyes shown with adoration.
"Whelp, I'll go and inform everyone about the new life" Yukito said getting up from his seat. "One thing I hate is climbing that hill to the bell but I've got the do it"
Syaoran looked at Sakura with lost eyes making her smile resting her head on his shoulder. "Whenever the first child of a family is born, the first male or when someone dies. Everyone gathers on the beach wearing full white and they send out small boats filled with flowers. We believe it'll give them good luck for life or passing over, like lighting their path. People do it to find love too or wish for a happy and long life" she explained making him nod in understanding.
"Are we going to wish for a long life together?" he asked making her giggle nodding. He smiled touching her cheek. "And a couple dozen children?" she blushed prettily.
"Yes a really long life" Sakura replied resting her forehead against his. Syaoran touched his pendent knowing he would send one out to his father.
"If you two continue that way we'll have to get you married tomorrow, it would be right since as you two act like your married already" Rosa stated making Sakura's cheeks pinking at this she wondered what they had done.
"We'll get married when Sakura feels ready" Syaoran answered standing up with Sakura.
"Which is next week we hope" Naoko laughed winking at Sakura. "She doesn't know what she missing out on" Sakura laughed shaking her head at her friends tactics.
"Young people these days" Rosa sighed making them laugh. "Come now, out Takashi and Chiharu need some peace and quiet. Sakura you'll have to make dinner I'm going to stay with them for a while"
"Hai Kai and I will make dinner don't worry" Sakura nodded as Rosa shooed them out the door. "Tell Chiharu we'll come and see her tomorrow"
"I will hurry now" she called watching them leave. She looked at Syaoran and Sakura and smiled. Hopefully they would build up enough guts and marry soon, they would save each other, she knew.
Syaoran and Sakura walked behind Fujitaka and Kai who was trying to ride the hover board. "We have to wake up really early tomorrow so we can make it to the beach and have boats out on the water before the sun hits it" Sakura stated knowing they would have to make some tonight but it wouldn't be hard.
"So we celebrate for life at dawn and for death at dusk?" Syaoran asked making nod her smiling.
"You're a fast learner" she giggled then began to choke making him stop looking at him her worriedly. Sakura was starting to turn red in the face making him get really scared.
"What's the matter, come breath" Syaoran soothed holding her up when Fujitaka and Kai ran up looking at her worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Fujitaka asked looking at Sakura, who was taking in a much air as she could get. "Sakura, sweetie?"
"I'm fine, just tired" she whispered weakly looking up at them with a flush face. She smiled weakly to assure them that she was okay; she didn't want to see any of them worrying about her.
"I'm carrying you" Syaoran said picking her up. Sakura nodded resting her head on his chest as they continued to walk towards their home. Fujitaka looked at his daughter feeling the same nervousness he felt around wife lurking around. Syaoran looked down at Sakura who was falling asleep wondering what had triggered that.
Kai looked at sister wondering if the pills she once found in Sakura's room had anything to do with this. She would have to wait and see if she took them tonight before she said anything to them. She prayed that she wasn't getting the same thing their mother died from.
"Bring her upstairs so she can rest" Fujitaka said to Syaoran when they walked into the house. He nodded and started up the stairs but Sakura shook her head. "Sakura you need to rest" he said brushing her hair off her face.
"Can we go outside instead?" she asked softly. "It's sunny out the hammock should be dry" Fujitaka nodded at Syaoran making him turn around. Syaoran walked through the door and headed towards the hammock.
"How is this going to work?" he asked making Sakura smile shaking her head at him.
"Set me down, we have to get on at the same time on opposite sides," she answered he sat her down and walked to the other side. They got on at the same time and Sakura rested her head on his chest as he rocked it back and forth with his foot that was on the ground.
"Do you feel better?" he asked hugging her to him. He never wanted to see her have another problem like that it made him feel nervous, which was something he didn't like feeling.
"Yeah I'm feeling a little better, please just lay here with me" Sakura whispered feeling sleepy. He nodded looking up at the sky as they rocked back and forth, she closed her eyes begging god to give her a little more time with him 'just a little more time' she pleaded mentally before drifting off. *
*
*
* Kai stood at the window looking out at them as her father searched through some old files. She didn't know why her father was getting so scared Sakura looked fine, shaking her head she walked over to the stove to start dinner. Sakura and Rosa usually cooked but since as they couldn't do it, it was left to her. "Well Kero it's just you and me" Kero looked at her before walking out the door in the direction of Sakura. "Never mind, stupid dog" she muttered. "Father?"
"Hai Kai?" Fujitaka called not able to find what he was looking for and it was getting on his nerves.
"Could you stop what you're doing and help me cook? If you say no there's a chance we might not have a house tonight" she called making him smile getting up from his chair. He would take her word for it, walking in the kitchen he picked up his apron looking out the window at Sakura, Syaoran and Kero was sleeping on Sakura's belly. Shaking his head to clear it of such thoughts he walked over to his youngest child.
"All right let's begin, your going to need to learn how to cook if you plan on getting married" he joked making Kai stick her tongue out at him.
"Hah I plan on taking Rosa with me when I get married" Kai stated full of mirth making him chuckle. *
