* Sakura lay in Syaoran arms looking at her mother's ring with a smile on her face. Even though she was slowly dying last night had been her wedding night, and even though it was only decided five minutes before it happened it would be a night she would never forget. Syaoran thought she wanted a large wedding but having her family and best friends present was what she really wanted; now all she had to do was fight for her life and survive meeting Syaoran's family. "Please make them like me" she whispered silently.
"Will you stop worrying about that?" Syaoran spoke making her jump. She looked at him and smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't know you were awake" she murmured pulling the sheets up over her naked flesh. Syaoran kissed her forehead lovingly knowing that she was legally and officially his wife. "I'm scared," she admitted awkwardly making him smile.
"There's nothing to be scared about wife, your Mrs. Li Xiao Lang" he stated Sakura closed her eyes hearing her new last name on his tongue. "My wife, the next Queen" he muttered playing with her hair.
"Come husband it's time that we got up, everyone's going to come over soon to get ready for the arrival of your family or whoever is coming to get you" Sakura sighed sitting up. Her family had been nice enough to give them the house so they could have a proper honeymoon but of course with a lot of teasing.
"Oh yeah and they are coming to get us" he corrected poking her nose making Sakura wrinkle it but them smiled shaking her head. "It's still early"
"I know that's the whole point, we don't know how many is coming. I know that they won't be able to leave until the next day so they'll have to stay here because out of everyone we've got the most rooms. So that means we'll have to clean everything put down new linen and make something for them to eat," she explained making him groan nodding.
"Okay, fine" he sighed getting up after her. *

* "You don't think they'll mind that we're over here so early right?" Naoko asked cleaning up the living area with the help of Rika, Kaho and Kai.
"No they won't mind this way we'll finish early" Kaho answered cleaning all the pictures.
"I wonder how they act, do you think they'll be anything like Syaoran?" Kai asked thoughtfully. "Do you think he has a brother?"
"Kai!" Rika laughed shaking her head at the girl.
"What can't a person dream?" she giggled before continuing. "Anyways let's hope they aren't dependent on hairdryers and anything dealing with electricity" she mused making them laugh.
"Ah huh, and thank god we have the better job then the guys" Naoko mused. Early this morning Takashi, Alex and Takashi's father went out fishing for best of the sea. Mika, Yukito, Touya and Fujitaka were cleaning up outside while Chiharu, Rosa, Nakuru baked in the kitchen the children were playing out side.
"Well if it isn't the love birds" Kaho teased seeing Sakura and Syaoran appear. They gapped at everyone in the living room and could hear talking outside as well.
"You guys are over early, why didn't you wake us up?" Sakura asked softly picking Kero up. They had showered and Syaoran made sure she took two of the tablets before coming down.
"We didn't want to interrupt your honeymoon" Kai answered batting her eyes at them. Syaoran chuckled shaking his head at her, "Come brother in law help me move the sofa back in place"
"Hi Hi" Syaoran mocked walking over to it. He easily pushed in place making her clap giving him a high five. Syaoran inhaled sighing, "Sorry to leave but my stomach says to the kitchen with thee," they all laughed watching him disappear through the doors.
"All guys are the same, royalty or not" Rika mused stretching. "Okay women let's move up stairs" she ordered smiling.
"I'll get the sheets off the line" Sakura said heading for the door.
"Shouldn't you eat something first?" Naoko asked motherly making Sakura come to a halt. "I've had my honey just like Rika and Kaho and we all know you have to ate to recover your energy" she chided making turn crimson.
"Oh naughty Sakura" Kai teased laughing at her sisters cherry face. "Oh why so red" she laughed holding her belly.
"Oh shut up Kai, just you wait" Sakura threatened taking a detour to the kitchen. Naoko and the others laughed going up the stairs, the kids were safe outside because their father were watching them while their father's helped the guys and mother in any way they could.
"Well here's the other one, please get your husband out of here before he eats up all we've made. We've already had to banned Yukito and Touya, he's next" Chiharu warned making Sakura smile sheepishly taking the cup of tea Rosa handed her.
"Come on Syaoran before they kill you," Sakura said taking a bit out the desert he offered her.
"I'm going to see if you father needs help" he kissed her making Sakura giggle.
"Sticky" she joked licking her lips. He winked at her before walking out of the kitchen with his breakfast on the go. "Thank you Rosa" she sighed taking a sip of the tea. She grabbed one of the deserts heading for the door.
"You eat first then start work, sit young lady" Rosa ordered making Sakura walk back to the table and sit giving Kero part of food.
"See Katie, I'm married and yet I'm still tried like a child" she spoke looking at the baby who looked up at with dark brown eyes making her smile.
"It's funny how fast news flies around here but this morning everyone was out cleaning up their yard even the people who never clean" Nakuru stated making Sakura smile.
"We should have visitors more if that it was what it takes for them to clean their homes" Rosa spoke shaking her head. Sakura finished up and headed out in the yard to do her part of helping besides they were all doing this for her in the first place. *

* People out in the fields looked up when four seaplanes went overhead before they continued to work. Mei Lin looked at the small island below them listening to the clicking sound of Tomoyo's camera. "Don't you want to wait until we arrive?" she asked resting her head against the window.
"I have enough film, I wonder which house he's staying at" Tomoyo replied when her husband looked back at her smiling.
"Knowing Xiao Lang he'll live in the smallest on the island" he stated making them laugh nodding in agreement. "It doesn't look like they have electricity down there"
"You've got to be kidding?" Mei Lin exclaimed before she laughed. "Fiemie and the other's are going to flip" they laughed nodding in agreement as the plane descended towards at the ocean. "Too bad we won't be here long enough to go swimming"
"Yeah, it's beautiful" the planes pulled up by the docks and they couldn't wait to get out and stretch their legs. Xiefia proclaimed at the airport that Galatea should have an airstrip so they could have flown the jet in. *
*
*
* Eriol waited until the man piloting got out and opened the door before he got out: Jamie helped Mei Lin and Tomoyo out. "How are going to find the house?" he asked watching the other two planes empty out.
"I don't know but let's hope it's not fair" Jamie answered softly putting on his cap to block out the sun. Mei Lin put on her shades and sun hat like Tomoyo as they looked around the harbor. "Let's get out our boards and look around I'm sure he won't be hard to find"
"Yeah," Eriol sighed smiling as the pilot took out their suitcases. He and Tomoyo like Mei Lin and Jamie shared one small suitcase since as they were only staying overnight.
"Get my board too, I want to go" Mei Lin whined making Tomoyo nod reloading her camera. They walked over to Yelen and the others who were busy looking around the docks.
"Maybe they'll send a car for us" Fiemie commented making the pilot laugh shaking his head.
"Ain't no cars on Galatea, they don't even have one paved road. Everyone here walks to where they want to go your highness" he stated, they well at least the Li sisters gasp.
"We'll pay you to carry our bags to our destination" Wei said, the men nodded picking up the bags along with the others three guards that came with them. "Let's follow this main road, it should lead us to the houses I saw out of the plan" he said picking up his and Yelen's bag.
"I wonder how my son survived it here" She whispered looking at the sight before her. She was glad her husband hadn't lived to see this he would have had a heart attack.
"We're going to ride ahead and see if we can find the house," Eriol said starting his hover board like the others. Yelen shook her head watching them ride off one by one going extremely fast. She opened up her umbrella putting her shades on; this was going to be a long walk. *
*
Mei Lin and Tomoyo looked all the houses they past for any sign of Syaoran or a hint of were he was staying. "That idiot he could have at least told Wei where he was staying" she muttered feeling the sun bake her.
"Excuse me, do you know where we can find Li Syaoran?" Eriol asked in Japanese to a man who was talking. The man looked them over figuring they were the boy's family that was supposed to show up today.
"Toppa da hill, turn on your first right" he answered bowing which made Tomoyo smile as she took pictures of him
"Thank you" Eriol smiled nodding at them, he looked back at the guard who appeared and waved him ahead before they continued. When they came to the street they looked up the hill at the house that was larger then the ones they had seen so far.
"This must be it" Jamie sighed going up the hill with Eriol and the girls following behind. Getting off their hover boards they walked up the door- thanking god for the shade. Eriol knocked and waited for someone to answer. *
*
*
Sakura walked into the living room only to hear someone knocking at the door. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to it. "Takashi didn't I-" she broke off looking the finely dressed people before her and remembered them from Syaoran's photo album.
"Hello is Li Syaoran here?" Jamie asked seeing her shocked expression as he stopped Tomoyo from taking pictures of the poor girl.
"Ah yes, I'm sorry come in" Sakura apologized catching herself she opened the door and moved out of the way. The girl's were glad that it was a lot cooler in the house then outside. "We weren't expecting you so early that's why no one was there to meet you. Um Syaoran!" she missed the look they gave her hearing her use Syaoran's first name. She pulled the wrap off her hair running her hands through it; she didn't even want to look down at her messy clothing.
"Young lady your husband is outside don't be yelling in this house" Rosa chided walking into the room.
"Wife?" Mei Lin whispered looking at her husband who shrugged. Rosa looked at the people before her and stopped her self from saying more; "I'll go call him" she spoke making a u-turn.
"I'm Mei Lin, who are you?"
"Hi I'm Sakura this is my father's home. He's the one who looked after Syaoran when my friends found him" Sakura explained thinking of what to say. The girls were even more gorgeous then when they were in the pictures.
"Oh I'm Tomoyo and this Eriol and Jamie" Tomoyo beamed taking a picture of Sakura making her look at her oddly. Then she remembered the story Syaoran told her and she smiled nodding. "Something wrong?"
"No Syaoran told me a story about the time when you went camping and had to take a picture of the elk" Sakura answered softly. Tomoyo and the others laughed remembering the story.
"Xiao Lang!" Mei Lin exclaimed running to him but she stopped half way and looked him up and down. "Eck your dirty" Syaoran looked at his cousin and friends in shock.
"Hi" he mumbled. He stumbled back when Mei Lin jump on him hugging him tightly by now everyone was appearing the house. "Mei Lin!" he whined trying to get her off.
"Look at him, what happened to the other half of your pants Xiao Lang?" Jamie teased making him flash then a smile another change.
"Ah he's a beast with the hair" Tomoyo giggled running to hug him. "Oh we missed you so much" she spoke when she and Mei Lin step back. He stepped seeing the look in Mei Lin's eyes. "I feel sorry for you" she spoke shaking her head.
"How dare you not calls us?!?!" Mei Lin yelled making everyone in the house wince looking at her in wonder. "Xiao Lang you had us all freaking out, thinking it's our fault for flying out on my father's jet and not waiting for you. Do you know how it felt to lose you? And then your father right after?" she asked teary eyes looking at him angrily. "I have a great urge to beat you to a bloody pulp and you know I can" she warned holding up her fist. Syaoran sighed nodded as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Why didn't you guys leave her home?" he asked looking at Eriol and Jamie who shrugged glancing back briefly to see the others were almost there.
"HOHOHOHO, you aren't off the hook yet" Tomoyo laughed evilly making everyone sweat drop wondering if this was how royalty's were. Syaoran looked at the door and paled when his mother and SISTERS walked in the room.
"Mother, Wei and SISTERS" he gulps backing up slowly. Yelen looked at her son in shock, wondering what in gods name he was wearing. Sakura and her family and friends new that this was the real deal seeing the woman look them over and look firmly at his son.
"XAIO LANG!" all this sisters screamed running to him. They swore they felt the house shake and Kero and Mikelle hightailed it into the kitchen. Syaoran closed his eyes and braced him self for them.
"Oh look at his tan" they heard one say.
"No his hair"
"Don't touch that" Syaoran growled but they only giggle. "Fanfren!"
"I'm sorry little brother" she giggled starry eyed.
"We missed you so much" Fiemie exclaimed hugging him tightly.
"I can't breathed," he gasped when they latched unto him. "Wei I told you not to make them come," he yelled trying to get out but they held unto him. Sakura collapsed into the chair closing her eyes and counting to ten knowing that this was dream. She forgets that she wasn't supposed to sit in the Queens presence but her mind was nowhere near that.
"Girls get off your brother" Yelen spoke firmly making them stop abruptly stepping aside. "Xiao Lang, you've got a lot of explaining to do but first you will have Wei give you a descent hair cut and you'll shower and put on the clothes brought for you" she ordered making him nod.
"Yes mother," Syaoran looked at all of them wondering where he was going to find room to put them. "We don't have enough rooms here for all of you even though you'll be sharing beds"
"Syaoran go shower we'll think of something" Fujitaka spoke making nod. "Sakura you go and clean up too" Sakura nodded getting up from where she had collapsed.
"Yes father" she whispered following Syaoran and Wei up the stairs feeling nervous in her stomach. Mei Lin and Tomoyo watched them leave wondering if they were really married. She knew that she and the others wouldn't say anything until he told then him self.
"Hi I'm Kinomoto Fujitaka and welcome to Galatea" he smiled looking at Yelen not knowing what else to say.
"Auntie, he's the man that nursed Syaoran back to health" Mei Lin stated making Yelen nod looking the man and everyone over. "We're really grateful even though Xiao Lang's a baka"
"Your welcome, he's the only doctor here on Galatea. Are you hungry cause we made some island food and lemonade," Rosa offered but saw that they were a little apprehensive.
"We have to make twice the amount of the food because Syaoran wouldn't stop stealing what we had done" Chiharu smiled.
"Did you make sweets? He loves sweets," Fiemie said looking at everyone. "I'm hungry I haven't eaten anything since the main island"
"Good come right his way" Rosa smiled walking to the kitchen. Fiemie dragged Xiefia who dragged Mei Lin and so on by the time they finished dragging each other only Yelen and the two guards were left.
They looked at all the different kind of food knowing that it was made for them. "I can see why Syaoran wanted to stay" Jamie smiled tasting one of the desert then giving Mei Lin piece.
"Little brother is going to be in a lot of trouble when mother talks with him" Fuutie commented making them nod in agreement.
"Oh we're being rude, I'm Xiefia, this is Fuutie, Fanfren, Fiemie, Mei Lin, Tomoyo, Jamie and Eriol if you don't remember our names don't worry out it" Xiefia smiled looking at Rosa.
"Don't worry about it Xiefia I'm wonderful with names" Rosa replied pouring them juice. "If we had known what time you were coming in we would have been there to help"
"Don't worry about it" Mei Lin shrugged walking over to the window looking at all the children playing in the backyard. "I guess auntie and the sisters will be staying in this house while we stay somewhere else" she muttered absently.
"Well you could stay at your houses, we've each got one extra bedroom, Hi I'm Rika" she smiled at them. "And this is Chiharu and Naoko"
"Hi" they all said softly to each other.
"Girls these are Fiemie, Xiefia, Fanfren, Fuutie, Jamie, Eriol, Mei Lin and Tomoyo" Rosa introduced making them laugh.
"I guess that's good. Does Syaoran stay here?" Eriol asked before taking a drink of the juice he had.
"No he stays with Yukito and his wife Nakuru" Naoko answered picking up her son who wondered out from under the table. For royalties they surely didn't act like them but then again she hadn't been around a lot of royalties.
"Oh little brother has changed a lot no? He never allowed anyone to call him by his first name at least those who weren't his close family" Fanfren stated shaking her head. They all looked at the door when Sakura walked having changed and brushed her hair.
"Rosa father said if we could all go outside so Syaoran and ah the Queen can talk in private" she said uncomfortably. She had watched Wei cut of his hair making the way it was when he had arrived. She wasn't so sure she wanted to leave Galatea anymore and go with them.
"Sure, Naoko, girls just grab some plates we've got benches outside" Rosa said walking over to Sakura. "Don't worry everything will be fine, how are you feeling?" she knew Sakura was scared. They were all scared but the sisters and friends seemed really nice. "Have you taken your medication?"
"Hai Syaoran gave it to me before I came down" Sakura answered picking Kero up off the floor.
"Sakura, Jin Su is here to see you" Kai said at the door, they looked at each other wondering what Jin Su could want at a time like this. "He's in the backyard by the lemons"
"Okay" she smiled at Rosa heading for the door. Everyone watched as she headed all the way in the backyard.
"I wonder what he wants at a time like this" Rosa muttered getting some glass. "Get the pitcher of juice" Kai nodded doing as she was told, they only had electricity for the fridge since as what they had was limited. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* He looked at his mother who was waiting for him to begin but he wouldn't do that. If she wanted to talk with him she would. "Why are you just calling us after all this time?" she finally asked.
"This island doesn't have a phone I had no other way to get home. What makes you think I wanted to come home and leave such an island behind?" he replied standing before her like a soldier.
"You were once the crowned prince but now you are to be King. There is no running away from that" Yelen said firmly knowing that from since he was young he had never wanted or took his position seriously. " Your father has died so now it's your time to descend"
"I know I'm sorry mother. I will come home and take my position that is why I called you" Syaoran sighed turning away from her, his eyes scanned over the yard but he didn't see Sakura. He told her not to go too far but of course she never listens to him.
Yelen looked at her son and knew there was more to this, why would he call to come home when he had all he wanted here. "Tell me what changed your mind?" Syaoran turned to look at her contemplating whether or not to tell her yet. "Xiao Lang I'm waiting"
"It's Sakura," he whispered looking at the wall where there was a picture of her. Wei looked at the wall wondering what was going on between the prince and the girl.
"The girl? What about her?" Yelen asked praying to god that he didn't marry her. She didn't know what she would do if he married her, lord help her.
"She's sick and needs special help" Syaoran answered turning his eyes to her. "I want to bring her to Hong Kong to receive care from the physicians there" okay so her cold son had grown warm.
"She can get care in Tokyo I don't see why she has to go all the way to Hong Kong" Yelen stated with a wave of her hand. "If it's money they don't have we'll take care of all her bills but we need to go home right away, you need to take your position"
"No she's coming to Hong Kong or I'm not going back" Syaoran replied coldly turning back to his old self. Yelen rose at brow at him, even though she wanted to see his old self. She had not expected him to get so defensive.
"Why not? She's just a commoner, any hospital should do"
"She's not just a commoner dammit, she's my wife" Syaoran stated icily shocking Wei and Yelen and the two guards but they showed no emotion. "She's not a commoner, she's a princess by marriage"
"Bring this girl inside here" Yelen ordered firmly. *
*
*
* Everyone sat out side and now and then they would here yelling then nothing. Mei Lin smiled reassuringly at them. "Don't worry Xiao Lang will get whatever he wants" she spoke playing baby Katie. They all looked at the door when Syaoran walked out.
"Where's Sakura?" they all winced from the coldness of his voice but knew he was just angry.
"She's down there talking with Jin Su" Kai answered pointing. After saying those words she wasn't sure it was the right thing to stay, because his eyes got stony. *
*
*
*
* Sakura shook her head trying to block out all he was saying to her. "Listen you can't go, they'll eat you alive. Sakura you're a no body like the rest of us, do you think they'll look at you like you're an equal?" Jin Su asked angrily holding her by her shoulders.
"No I don't but Syaoran said it would be all right" Sakura replied hugging Kero. He was awakening all her fears and she knew he was right. They were never going to accept her; she was after all a commoner from an island no one has ever heard about.
"He's lying, you just watch he'll bring you there and thrust you aside like you were a nobody. And I'll be right here waiting for you, I'll be the one to put all the pieces back together" he caressed her face knowing he was getting through to her. He smiled on the inside knowing she wasn't going to go with him. "I still love you, and I know you love me. Stay here with me were you belong ah?" he coerced moving closer to her.
"I can't I'm married," Sakura choked shaking her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't go with Syaoran, she couldn't because they would hate her everybody would hate her; she had to stay here where she was safe.
"Divorce him, Sakura we're soul mates no one can get between us"
"Divorce" she whispered feeling drained.
"Sakura!" she jumped hearing Syaoran's voice. She looked up only to see him running towards her with her brother. She felt Jin Su grasp her hand and start to run the opposite direction with her. She dropped Kero from the shock struggling to keep her footing.
"What the hell is he doing, Takashi!" Touya yelled waving to the guys.
"I'm going to kill him" Syaoran hissed running through the woods with Touya behind him. "I'm going to rip his heart out" *
*
* "What's going on?" Fanfren asked seeing the guys run off following her brother and the other man.
"I don't know, hey?" Mei Lin yelled when Eriol and Jamie followed them. "Man," she ran towards the house-thanking god she wore guess sneakers.
"Mei Lin?" Tomoyo yelled wondering were she was going.
"I'm going to call the guards" Mei Lin yelled making Tomoyo nod. *
* *
*
* Sakura blocked the branches from her face as Jin Su pulled her through it. "Jin Su what are you doing?" she yelled knowing that Syaoran and Touya were following her.
"We're getting out of here that's what" Jin Su yelled back feeling victory now all they had to do was get to the docks. They broke through the bushes ending up right in front of the docks. "Come on" he jerked her forwards when Touya and Syaoran appeared.
"Hey Sakura get away from him" Touya ordered clenching his fists together. When he got his hands on Jin Su he was going to kill him, he prayed that Sakura wouldn't pass out from the running.
Jin Su skidded to a halt seeing all the men before him. He looked out on the ocean wondering where all those boats came from. "We have orders to stop you" one said making his gun visible.
"Jin Su" Sakura whispered trying to get her hand out of his grasp but he only tightened his hand.
"Get the hell out my way, who the hell do you think you are?" Jin Su bit out ignoring the fact that they were larger than him and armed.
"Let her go Horaki, or I swear to god you won't walk away from where you stand" Syaoran spat icily. Sakura winced under the look her gave her, she was going to be in a lot of trouble she knew.
"Threats?" Jin Su asked mocking him. "She's changed her mind, she doesn't want to go with you"
"Let her go now" Syaoran yelled viciously making the guards pull out their guns. Sakura shrank back shaking her head.
"Jin Su let me go, can't you see they'll kill you," she said trying to pull her hand free of his hold. "I don't want to leave Galatea period, now let me go" she tugged and kicked him in the chin pulling her self at the same time.
"Ouch what the hell was that for?" Jin Su yelled grabbing his chin. Eriol and Jamie laughed shaking their heads at him.
"Why the hell were you with him?" Touya yelled hugging Sakura, who hugged him back tightly.
"Touya I change my mind I don't want to leave, please" she whispered making him look down at her then Jin Su.
"I'm bringing her home, I suggest you take this time to hide because I'm going to kill you" Touya hissed glaring at Jin Su who winced. "That's if Syaoran doesn't get to you first"
"No Touya, leave him alone it's not only his fault" Sakura objected when he picked her up. Syaoran stood where he was after Touya walked off carrying Sakura with Takashi and the others following behind.
"So she's the reason you called?" Eriol asked resting his hand on Syaoran's shoulder making him nod. "It seems to me that you've got a lot of explaining to do my friend or should I say cute little cousin"
"Shut up Eriol" Syaoran hissed making him and Jamie laugh as they turned to return to the house. He couldn't believe Sakura was running from him, his own wife was running from him. The prince of China's own wife was running from, if he wasn't in such a mood he would have laughed at how crazy it sounded. "The island is surrounded with military personals?" he asked running his hand through his hair.
"Yep your mother" Jamie answered. "The island is on total blockade" *
*
*
*
* "Is she all right?" Fujitaka asked walking up to Touya as they headed up to the house. "Where's Syaoran and the others?"
"She's fine, he's coming" Touya answered heading to the house. "Sakura has a lot of explaining to do"
"I don't have to explain anything, I told you I'm not leaving" she whispered back stubbornly.
"Why not?" Fujitaka asked when Syaoran finally walked through the bush talking with Eriol and Jamie. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from her lips, she wouldn't be so silly.
"Because I don't belong anywhere but Galatea," Sakura answered trying not to cry but she started to anyways. "And I'm a fool to think that I could have gone with Syaoran. I won't fit in there"
"We have to talk" Syaoran stated stopping beside them but Sakura just dug her head in Touya's chest. "Now Sakura" he spoke in a warning tone.
"I don't want to talk with you" came her response making him jaw tighten. He looked at Touya who sat her down. "No" she screamed when Syaoran throw her over his shoulders. "Touya!" she continued pleadingly. "I hate you!"
"And I love you" Touya replied shaking his head when Sakura disappeared through the doors. They could hear her screaming all the way through the house and when a door slammed shut.
"I think I'll explain to the Queen" Fujitaka sighed running his hand through his hair.
"Did little brother just carry a girl off caveman style?" Fiemie asked with a clueless expression.
"Ah huh" Fanfren answered making them sweat drop. "This is weird"
"You have no idea" Alex sighed running his hand through his hair. *
*
*
* "Oh so because you can't take the fact that not everyone won't love you, you don't want to go?" Sakura winced sitting on her bed. "Well answer me dammit"
"Will you stop yelling at me?" she yelled back glaring at him. Syaoran stood in front of the door and glared coldly at her but Sakura didn't back down, she stomped her foot in frustration. "I said I was sorry, but what he said was true. You will"
"Dammit Sakura, look at me. Do I seem like the person to do that?" Sakura looked at him and shook her head slowly. "Jin Su would tell you anything to make you stay here and you know you can't. And how many times do I have to tell you this?"
"I don't know but what if it really happens?" she whispered softly holding her hands. Syaoran walked over to her and hugged her tightly to him. "I'm sorry" she apologized again.
"It won't happen, you trust me right?" Syaoran replied raising her face so he could see her eyes. Sakura nodded her head wondering how many times he would put up with her and the things she did. "I love you Sakura"
"I love you too" she replied kissing him, she wrapped her arms around his neck holding unto to him. *
*
*
** Yelen looked up at the roof figuring that they had reached some kind of agreement since as the stomping had stopped. She rubbed her temple when Syaoran and Sakura appeared hand in hand. When he stood in front of her, Sakura inched back a little behind him not liking the way Yelen's amber eyes bore into her. "This is my wife mother Li Sakura" he stated making Yelen nod.
"Is there some reason why she's hiding behind you?" Yelen asked making Wei looked away to hide his smile. Syaoran moved Sakura beside him but she clung to his side almost making him laugh. "I know you're not mute because you passed through here screaming. I take it my son did not to tell you his father picked out a fiancée for him in Hong Kong"
"No" Sakura whispered shaking her head, she wanted to run but Syaoran held her hand.
"And that he was heading home to marry her or that he was a prince?" she continued reading Sakura's expressions.
"No he did not" she answered trying not to cry at the fact that he had a fiancée and had not told her.
"Xiao Lang what are you going to tell Kris?" Yelen asked and Sakura looked shocked. He was supposed to marry the same girl she had said was very beautiful. She wanted to cry, how was she going to stand live up to such a lady? She was starting to have second thoughts again but didn't want to get yelled at by Syaoran again.
"What she needs to know and nothing else, I've married. I never said I wanted to marry her father made the match while I was in college" Syaoran replied firmly making her nod.
"And this girl"
"Sakura" he corrected looking sternly at his mother.
"Sakura, tell me you will live in Hong Kong with my son?"
"Yes your majesty" Sakura answered meekly, one handholding unto Syaoran's and the other her dress. 'Hoe she's scary' she thought trying to get her legs from trembling.
"How old are you and what do you know about politics and running a government?" Sakura gulped trying to think of something to say.
"I'm going to be nineteen and I know nothing about running a government. As you can see we don't have a government here in Galatea ma'am" she answered making Wei looked at Syaoran and smile. "But I can learn,"
"You can learn?" Yelen asked wanting to know what she would say.
"Yes ma'am my father taught me all he knows about medical and my brother taught me how to build a house. There shouldn't anything more difficult about learning to consult a government. It should be the same as knowing how much medication to give a patient" Sakura explained hoping what she said made sense, well is should be the same right? Fujitaka looked at his daughter proudly.
Wei looked at her in disbelief he had never heard any one put it that way before. He shook his head at the young beauty beside his master knowing she was more then an island girl. "There is nothing I can say to dissuade my son from his decision about certain choices he's made. I trust his judgment, and I hope you can live up to being a Li in Hong Kong. We leave tomorrow morning" Yelen stated getting up from where she was sitting. "Is there anything here to eat?" she asked Fujitaka who got up.
"Hai right this way" Fujitaka smiling looking at Sakura who sighed resting against Syaoran. When they disappeared along with Wei and the guards Sakura looked up at Syaoran wondering how she did. She knew she did great when he smiled her, she giggled when he picked her up off her feet and spun her around.
"Beautiful" he whispered placing her kiss on her neck. Sakura smiled hugging him tightly, she loved making him proud. "Come on let's go outside" she nodded taking his hand. They walked through the door and could see that everyone wanted to know what the verdict was, Sakura smiled and her friends screamed running to hug her.
"Guys" Sakura whined laughing as they did a group hug.
"Will is there something you would like to tell us?" Tomoyo asked pushing her video camera in Syaoran's face. He glared at her but she just laughed stepping out of reach.
"I think you already know" Syaoran bit out tightly.
"But you need to tell us" Eriol pointed out smiling evilly.
"Yes I'm going to kill you" Syaoran stated grimly but they just ignored him. "Fine, you guys are annoying" he looked at his sisters and knew that they wanted to know badly. Shaking his head, he sighed "Sakura and I are married" he said loud enough for all of them to hear. He waited patiently for their outburst, crickets chirped the wind blew and leaves rustled.
"AHHHH" they screamed making the island shake, they jumped towards Syaoran hugging him tightly then looking for Sakura who was hiding behind her friends in fear. Naoko, Rika and the others moved out of the way slowly smiling wickedly. Sakura looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck as the sisters bounded for her. *

*
* Later. *
*
*
* Talking could be heard in the house but Syaoran, Eriol and Jamie were sitting out in the backyard talking. "So you don't know how bad it is?" Eriol asked looking up at the night sky.
"Not a clue, she kept it a secret because she didn't want put her family through it again" Syaoran sighed placing his hands on his knees. "I just hope I'm not too late"
"If there's anything that can be done to save her we'll find it" Jamie assured placing his hand on Syaoran's shoulder. "Besides she is the queen after all," he mused making them laugh. "She's going to be an individualist"
"Yeah" Syaoran agreed smiling at the thought of Sakura. "So Kris married Xin Tao ay?"
"Yeah she thought you were dead like all the others. No one knows your alive, the maid who answered the phone was warned to keep her mouth shut. This is going to be a surprise" Eriol stated thinking of all the possibilities.
"I think that biggest shock is going to be your wife" Jamie replied making them laugh. *
*
*
* Sakura stood at the window and watched Syaoran and his friends laugh. She smiled touching the window softly. "Please make everything go well lord" she prayed touching the window.
A star streaked across the night sky. *

* Author's note: So what do you think? Everything boiling down now that's all I got to say.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* Author's note: thank you to all those who reviewed the last chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. and sorry for not putting in the wedding but I'm a little wedding out right now if that even makes any sense. *
*
*
*
*
*
* Sakura lay in Syaoran arms looking at her mother's ring with a smile on her face. Even though she was slowly dying last night had been her wedding night, and even though it was only decided five minutes before it happened it would be a night she would never forget. Syaoran thought she wanted a large wedding but having her family and best friends present was what she really wanted; now all she had to do was fight for her life and survive meeting Syaoran's family. "Please make them like me" she whispered silently.
"Will you stop worrying about that?" Syaoran spoke making her jump. She looked at him and smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't know you were awake" she murmured pulling the sheets up over her naked flesh. Syaoran kissed her forehead lovingly knowing that she was legally and officially his wife. "I'm scared," she admitted awkwardly making him smile.
"There's nothing to be scared about wife, your Mrs. Li Xiao Lang" he stated Sakura closed her eyes hearing her new last name on his tongue. "My wife, the next Queen" he muttered playing with her hair.
"Come husband it's time that we got up, everyone's going to come over soon to get ready for the arrival of your family or whoever is coming to get you" Sakura sighed sitting up. Her family had been nice enough to give them the house so they could have a proper honeymoon but of course with a lot of teasing.
"Oh yeah and they are coming to get us" he corrected poking her nose making Sakura wrinkle it but them smiled shaking her head. "It's still early"
"I know that's the whole point, we don't know how many is coming. I know that they won't be able to leave until the next day so they'll have to stay here because out of everyone we've got the most rooms. So that means we'll have to clean everything put down new linen and make something for them to eat," she explained making him groan nodding.
"Okay, fine" he sighed getting up after her. *
*
*
*
*
* downstairs. *
*
*
*
*
*
* "You don't think they'll mind that we're over here so early right?" Naoko asked cleaning up the living area with the help of Rika, Kaho and Kai.
"No they won't mind this way we'll finish early" Kaho answered cleaning all the pictures.
"I wonder how they act, do you think they'll be anything like Syaoran?" Kai asked thoughtfully. "Do you think he has a brother?"
"Kai!" Rika laughed shaking her head at the girl.
"What can't a person dream?" she giggled before continuing. "Anyways let's hope they aren't dependent on hairdryers and anything dealing with electricity" she mused making them laugh.
"Ah huh, and thank god we have the better job then the guys" Naoko mused. Early this morning Takashi, Alex and Takashi's father went out fishing for best of the sea. Mika, Yukito, Touya and Fujitaka were cleaning up outside while Chiharu, Rosa, Nakuru baked in the kitchen the children were playing out side.
"Well if it isn't the love birds" Kaho teased seeing Sakura and Syaoran appear. They gapped at everyone in the living room and could hear talking outside as well.
"You guys are over early, why didn't you wake us up?" Sakura asked softly picking Kero up. They had showered and Syaoran made sure she took two of the tablets before coming down.
"We didn't want to interrupt your honeymoon" Kai answered batting her eyes at them. Syaoran chuckled shaking his head at her, "Come brother in law help me move the sofa back in place"
"Hi Hi" Syaoran mocked walking over to it. He easily pushed in place making her clap giving him a high five. Syaoran inhaled sighing, "Sorry to leave but my stomach says to the kitchen with thee," they all laughed watching him disappear through the doors.
"All guys are the same, royalty or not" Rika mused stretching. "Okay women let's move up stairs" she ordered smiling.
"I'll get the sheets off the line" Sakura said heading for the door.
"Shouldn't you eat something first?" Naoko asked motherly making Sakura come to a halt. "I've had my honey just like Rika and Kaho and we all know you have to ate to recover your energy" she chided making turn crimson.
"Oh naughty Sakura" Kai teased laughing at her sisters cherry face. "Oh why so red" she laughed holding her belly.
"Oh shut up Kai, just you wait" Sakura threatened taking a detour to the kitchen. Naoko and the others laughed going up the stairs, the kids were safe outside because their father were watching them while their father's helped the guys and mother in any way they could.
"Well here's the other one, please get your husband out of here before he eats up all we've made. We've already had to banned Yukito and Touya, he's next" Chiharu warned making Sakura smile sheepishly taking the cup of tea Rosa handed her.
"Come on Syaoran before they kill you," Sakura said taking a bit out the desert he offered her.
"I'm going to see if you father needs help" he kissed her making Sakura giggle.
"Sticky" she joked licking her lips. He winked at her before walking out of the kitchen with his breakfast on the go. "Thank you Rosa" she sighed taking a sip of the tea. She grabbed one of the deserts heading for the door.
"You eat first then start work, sit young lady" Rosa ordered making Sakura walk back to the table and sit giving Kero part of food.
"See Katie, I'm married and yet I'm still tried like a child" she spoke looking at the baby who looked up at with dark brown eyes making her smile.
"It's funny how fast news flies around here but this morning everyone was out cleaning up their yard even the people who never clean" Nakuru stated making Sakura smile.
"We should have visitors more if that it was what it takes for them to clean their homes" Rosa spoke shaking her head. Sakura finished up and headed out in the yard to do her part of helping besides they were all doing this for her in the first place. *
*
*
*
*
* Later.. *
*
*
*
*
* People out in the fields looked up when four seaplanes went overhead before they continued to work. Mei Lin looked at the small island below them listening to the clicking sound of Tomoyo's camera. "Don't you want to wait until we arrive?" she asked resting her head against the window.
"I have enough film, I wonder which house he's staying at" Tomoyo replied when her husband looked back at her smiling.
"Knowing Xiao Lang he'll live in the smallest on the island" he stated making them laugh nodding in agreement. "It doesn't look like they have electricity down there"
"You've got to be kidding?" Mei Lin exclaimed before she laughed. "Fiemie and the other's are going to flip" they laughed nodding in agreement as the plane descended towards at the ocean. "Too bad we won't be here long enough to go swimming"
"Yeah, it's beautiful" the planes pulled up by the docks and they couldn't wait to get out and stretch their legs. Xiefia proclaimed at the airport that Galatea should have an airstrip so they could have flown the jet in. *
*
*
* Eriol waited until the man piloting got out and opened the door before he got out: Jamie helped Mei Lin and Tomoyo out. "How are going to find the house?" he asked watching the other two planes empty out.
"I don't know but let's hope it's not fair" Jamie answered softly putting on his cap to block out the sun. Mei Lin put on her shades and sun hat like Tomoyo as they looked around the harbor. "Let's get out our boards and look around I'm sure he won't be hard to find"
"Yeah," Eriol sighed smiling as the pilot took out their suitcases. He and Tomoyo like Mei Lin and Jamie shared one small suitcase since as they were only staying overnight.
"Get my board too, I want to go" Mei Lin whined making Tomoyo nod reloading her camera. They walked over to Yelen and the others who were busy looking around the docks.
"Maybe they'll send a car for us" Fiemie commented making the pilot laugh shaking his head.
"Ain't no cars on Galatea, they don't even have one paved road. Everyone here walks to where they want to go your highness" he stated, they well at least the Li sisters gasp.
"We'll pay you to carry our bags to our destination" Wei said, the men nodded picking up the bags along with the others three guards that came with them. "Let's follow this main road, it should lead us to the houses I saw out of the plan" he said picking up his and Yelen's bag.
"I wonder how my son survived it here" She whispered looking at the sight before her. She was glad her husband hadn't lived to see this he would have had a heart attack.
"We're going to ride ahead and see if we can find the house," Eriol said starting his hover board like the others. Yelen shook her head watching them ride off one by one going extremely fast. She opened up her umbrella putting her shades on; this was going to be a long walk. *
*
Mei Lin and Tomoyo looked all the houses they past for any sign of Syaoran or a hint of were he was staying. "That idiot he could have at least told Wei where he was staying" she muttered feeling the sun bake her.
"Excuse me, do you know where we can find Li Syaoran?" Eriol asked in Japanese to a man who was talking. The man looked them over figuring they were the boy's family that was supposed to show up today.
"Toppa da hill, turn on your first right" he answered bowing which made Tomoyo smile as she took pictures of him
"Thank you" Eriol smiled nodding at them, he looked back at the guard who appeared and waved him ahead before they continued. When they came to the street they looked up the hill at the house that was larger then the ones they had seen so far.
"This must be it" Jamie sighed going up the hill with Eriol and the girls following behind. Getting off their hover boards they walked up the door- thanking god for the shade. Eriol knocked and waited for someone to answer. *
*
*
Sakura walked into the living room only to hear someone knocking at the door. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to it. "Takashi didn't I-" she broke off looking the finely dressed people before her and remembered them from Syaoran's photo album.
"Hello is Li Syaoran here?" Jamie asked seeing her shocked expression as he stopped Tomoyo from taking pictures of the poor girl.
"Ah yes, I'm sorry come in" Sakura apologized catching herself she opened the door and moved out of the way. The girl's were glad that it was a lot cooler in the house then outside. "We weren't expecting you so early that's why no one was there to meet you. Um Syaoran!" she missed the look they gave her hearing her use Syaoran's first name. She pulled the wrap off her hair running her hands through it; she didn't even want to look down at her messy clothing.
"Young lady your husband is outside don't be yelling in this house" Rosa chided walking into the room.
"Wife?" Mei Lin whispered looking at her husband who shrugged. Rosa looked at the people before her and stopped her self from saying more; "I'll go call him" she spoke making a u-turn.
"I'm Mei Lin, who are you?"
"Hi I'm Sakura this is my father's home. He's the one who looked after Syaoran when my friends found him" Sakura explained thinking of what to say. The girls were even more gorgeous then when they were in the pictures.
"Oh I'm Tomoyo and this Eriol and Jamie" Tomoyo beamed taking a picture of Sakura making her look at her oddly. Then she remembered the story Syaoran told her and she smiled nodding. "Something wrong?"
"No Syaoran told me a story about the time when you went camping and had to take a picture of the elk" Sakura answered softly. Tomoyo and the others laughed remembering the story.
"Xiao Lang!" Mei Lin exclaimed running to him but she stopped half way and looked him up and down. "Eck your dirty" Syaoran looked at his cousin and friends in shock.
"Hi" he mumbled. He stumbled back when Mei Lin jump on him hugging him tightly by now everyone was appearing the house. "Mei Lin!" he whined trying to get her off.
"Look at him, what happened to the other half of your pants Xiao Lang?" Jamie teased making him flash then a smile another change.
"Ah he's a beast with the hair" Tomoyo giggled running to hug him. "Oh we missed you so much" she spoke when she and Mei Lin step back. He stepped seeing the look in Mei Lin's eyes. "I feel sorry for you" she spoke shaking her head.
"How dare you not calls us?!?!" Mei Lin yelled making everyone in the house wince looking at her in wonder. "Xiao Lang you had us all freaking out, thinking it's our fault for flying out on my father's jet and not waiting for you. Do you know how it felt to lose you? And then your father right after?" she asked teary eyes looking at him angrily. "I have a great urge to beat you to a bloody pulp and you know I can" she warned holding up her fist. Syaoran sighed nodded as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Why didn't you guys leave her home?" he asked looking at Eriol and Jamie who shrugged glancing back briefly to see the others were almost there.
"HOHOHOHO, you aren't off the hook yet" Tomoyo laughed evilly making everyone sweat drop wondering if this was how royalty's were. Syaoran looked at the door and paled when his mother and SISTERS walked in the room.
"Mother, Wei and SISTERS" he gulps backing up slowly. Yelen looked at her son in shock, wondering what in gods name he was wearing. Sakura and her family and friends new that this was the real deal seeing the woman look them over and look firmly at his son.
"XAIO LANG!" all this sisters screamed running to him. They swore they felt the house shake and Kero and Mikelle hightailed it into the kitchen. Syaoran closed his eyes and braced him self for them.
"Oh look at his tan" they heard one say.
"No his hair"
"Don't touch that" Syaoran growled but they only giggle. "Fanfren!"
"I'm sorry little brother" she giggled starry eyed.
"We missed you so much" Fiemie exclaimed hugging him tightly.
"I can't breathed," he gasped when they latched unto him. "Wei I told you not to make them come," he yelled trying to get out but they held unto him. Sakura collapsed into the chair closing her eyes and counting to ten knowing that this was dream. She forgets that she wasn't supposed to sit in the Queens presence but her mind was nowhere near that.
"Girls get off your brother" Yelen spoke firmly making them stop abruptly stepping aside. "Xiao Lang, you've got a lot of explaining to do but first you will have Wei give you a descent hair cut and you'll shower and put on the clothes brought for you" she ordered making him nod.
"Yes mother," Syaoran looked at all of them wondering where he was going to find room to put them. "We don't have enough rooms here for all of you even though you'll be sharing beds"
"Syaoran go shower we'll think of something" Fujitaka spoke making nod. "Sakura you go and clean up too" Sakura nodded getting up from where she had collapsed.
"Yes father" she whispered following Syaoran and Wei up the stairs feeling nervous in her stomach. Mei Lin and Tomoyo watched them leave wondering if they were really married. She knew that she and the others wouldn't say anything until he told then him self.
"Hi I'm Kinomoto Fujitaka and welcome to Galatea" he smiled looking at Yelen not knowing what else to say.
"Auntie, he's the man that nursed Syaoran back to health" Mei Lin stated making Yelen nod looking the man and everyone over. "We're really grateful even though Xiao Lang's a baka"
"Your welcome, he's the only doctor here on Galatea. Are you hungry cause we made some island food and lemonade," Rosa offered but saw that they were a little apprehensive.
"We have to make twice the amount of the food because Syaoran wouldn't stop stealing what we had done" Chiharu smiled.
"Did you make sweets? He loves sweets," Fiemie said looking at everyone. "I'm hungry I haven't eaten anything since the main island"
"Good come right his way" Rosa smiled walking to the kitchen. Fiemie dragged Xiefia who dragged Mei Lin and so on by the time they finished dragging each other only Yelen and the two guards were left.
They looked at all the different kind of food knowing that it was made for them. "I can see why Syaoran wanted to stay" Jamie smiled tasting one of the desert then giving Mei Lin piece.
"Little brother is going to be in a lot of trouble when mother talks with him" Fuutie commented making them nod in agreement.
"Oh we're being rude, I'm Xiefia, this is Fuutie, Fanfren, Fiemie, Mei Lin, Tomoyo, Jamie and Eriol if you don't remember our names don't worry out it" Xiefia smiled looking at Rosa.
"Don't worry about it Xiefia I'm wonderful with names" Rosa replied pouring them juice. "If we had known what time you were coming in we would have been there to help"
"Don't worry about it" Mei Lin shrugged walking over to the window looking at all the children playing in the backyard. "I guess auntie and the sisters will be staying in this house while we stay somewhere else" she muttered absently.
"Well you could stay at your houses, we've each got one extra bedroom, Hi I'm Rika" she smiled at them. "And this is Chiharu and Naoko"
"Hi" they all said softly to each other.
"Girls these are Fiemie, Xiefia, Fanfren, Fuutie, Jamie, Eriol, Mei Lin and Tomoyo" Rosa introduced making them laugh.
"I guess that's good. Does Syaoran stay here?" Eriol asked before taking a drink of the juice he had.
"No he stays with Yukito and his wife Nakuru" Naoko answered picking up her son who wondered out from under the table. For royalties they surely didn't act like them but then again she hadn't been around a lot of royalties.
"Oh little brother has changed a lot no? He never allowed anyone to call him by his first name at least those who weren't his close family" Fanfren stated shaking her head. They all looked at the door when Sakura walked having changed and brushed her hair.
"Rosa father said if we could all go outside so Syaoran and ah the Queen can talk in private" she said uncomfortably. She had watched Wei cut of his hair making the way it was when he had arrived. She wasn't so sure she wanted to leave Galatea anymore and go with them.
"Sure, Naoko, girls just grab some plates we've got benches outside" Rosa said walking over to Sakura. "Don't worry everything will be fine, how are you feeling?" she knew Sakura was scared. They were all scared but the sisters and friends seemed really nice. "Have you taken your medication?"
"Hai Syaoran gave it to me before I came down" Sakura answered picking Kero up off the floor.
"Sakura, Jin Su is here to see you" Kai said at the door, they looked at each other wondering what Jin Su could want at a time like this. "He's in the backyard by the lemons"
"Okay" she smiled at Rosa heading for the door. Everyone watched as she headed all the way in the backyard.
"I wonder what he wants at a time like this" Rosa muttered getting some glass. "Get the pitcher of juice" Kai nodded doing as she was told, they only had electricity for the fridge since as what they had was limited. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* He looked at his mother who was waiting for him to begin but he wouldn't do that. If she wanted to talk with him she would. "Why are you just calling us after all this time?" she finally asked.
"This island doesn't have a phone I had no other way to get home. What makes you think I wanted to come home and leave such an island behind?" he replied standing before her like a soldier.
"You were once the crowned prince but now you are to be King. There is no running away from that" Yelen said firmly knowing that from since he was young he had never wanted or took his position seriously. " Your father has died so now it's your time to descend"
"I know I'm sorry mother. I will come home and take my position that is why I called you" Syaoran sighed turning away from her, his eyes scanned over the yard but he didn't see Sakura. He told her not to go too far but of course she never listens to him.
Yelen looked at her son and knew there was more to this, why would he call to come home when he had all he wanted here. "Tell me what changed your mind?" Syaoran turned to look at her contemplating whether or not to tell her yet. "Xiao Lang I'm waiting"
"It's Sakura," he whispered looking at the wall where there was a picture of her. Wei looked at the wall wondering what was going on between the prince and the girl.
"The girl? What about her?" Yelen asked praying to god that he didn't marry her. She didn't know what she would do if he married her, lord help her.
"She's sick and needs special help" Syaoran answered turning his eyes to her. "I want to bring her to Hong Kong to receive care from the physicians there" okay so her cold son had grown warm.
"She can get care in Tokyo I don't see why she has to go all the way to Hong Kong" Yelen stated with a wave of her hand. "If it's money they don't have we'll take care of all her bills but we need to go home right away, you need to take your position"
"No she's coming to Hong Kong or I'm not going back" Syaoran replied coldly turning back to his old self. Yelen rose at brow at him, even though she wanted to see his old self. She had not expected him to get so defensive.
"Why not? She's just a commoner, any hospital should do"
"She's not just a commoner dammit, she's my wife" Syaoran stated icily shocking Wei and Yelen and the two guards but they showed no emotion. "She's not a commoner, she's a princess by marriage"
"Bring this girl inside here" Yelen ordered firmly. *
*
*
* Everyone sat out side and now and then they would here yelling then nothing. Mei Lin smiled reassuringly at them. "Don't worry Xiao Lang will get whatever he wants" she spoke playing baby Katie. They all looked at the door when Syaoran walked out.
"Where's Sakura?" they all winced from the coldness of his voice but knew he was just angry.
"She's down there talking with Jin Su" Kai answered pointing. After saying those words she wasn't sure it was the right thing to stay, because his eyes got stony. *
*
*
*
* Sakura shook her head trying to block out all he was saying to her. "Listen you can't go, they'll eat you alive. Sakura you're a no body like the rest of us, do you think they'll look at you like you're an equal?" Jin Su asked angrily holding her by her shoulders.
"No I don't but Syaoran said it would be all right" Sakura replied hugging Kero. He was awakening all her fears and she knew he was right. They were never going to accept her; she was after all a commoner from an island no one has ever heard about.
"He's lying, you just watch he'll bring you there and thrust you aside like you were a nobody. And I'll be right here waiting for you, I'll be the one to put all the pieces back together" he caressed her face knowing he was getting through to her. He smiled on the inside knowing she wasn't going to go with him. "I still love you, and I know you love me. Stay here with me were you belong ah?" he coerced moving closer to her.
"I can't I'm married," Sakura choked shaking her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't go with Syaoran, she couldn't because they would hate her everybody would hate her; she had to stay here where she was safe.
"Divorce him, Sakura we're soul mates no one can get between us"
"Divorce" she whispered feeling drained.
"Sakura!" she jumped hearing Syaoran's voice. She looked up only to see him running towards her with her brother. She felt Jin Su grasp her hand and start to run the opposite direction with her. She dropped Kero from the shock struggling to keep her footing.
"What the hell is he doing, Takashi!" Touya yelled waving to the guys.
"I'm going to kill him" Syaoran hissed running through the woods with Touya behind him. "I'm going to rip his heart out" *
*
* "What's going on?" Fanfren asked seeing the guys run off following her brother and the other man.
"I don't know, hey?" Mei Lin yelled when Eriol and Jamie followed them. "Man," she ran towards the house-thanking god she wore guess sneakers.
"Mei Lin?" Tomoyo yelled wondering were she was going.
"I'm going to call the guards" Mei Lin yelled making Tomoyo nod. *
* *
*
* Sakura blocked the branches from her face as Jin Su pulled her through it. "Jin Su what are you doing?" she yelled knowing that Syaoran and Touya were following her.
"We're getting out of here that's what" Jin Su yelled back feeling victory now all they had to do was get to the docks. They broke through the bushes ending up right in front of the docks. "Come on" he jerked her forwards when Touya and Syaoran appeared.
"Hey Sakura get away from him" Touya ordered clenching his fists together. When he got his hands on Jin Su he was going to kill him, he prayed that Sakura wouldn't pass out from the running.
Jin Su skidded to a halt seeing all the men before him. He looked out on the ocean wondering where all those boats came from. "We have orders to stop you" one said making his gun visible.
"Jin Su" Sakura whispered trying to get her hand out of his grasp but he only tightened his hand.
"Get the hell out my way, who the hell do you think you are?" Jin Su bit out ignoring the fact that they were larger than him and armed.
"Let her go Horaki, or I swear to god you won't walk away from where you stand" Syaoran spat icily. Sakura winced under the look her gave her, she was going to be in a lot of trouble she knew.
"Threats?" Jin Su asked mocking him. "She's changed her mind, she doesn't want to go with you"
"Let her go now" Syaoran yelled viciously making the guards pull out their guns. Sakura shrank back shaking her head.
"Jin Su let me go, can't you see they'll kill you," she said trying to pull her hand free of his hold. "I don't want to leave Galatea period, now let me go" she tugged and kicked him in the chin pulling her self at the same time.
"Ouch what the hell was that for?" Jin Su yelled grabbing his chin. Eriol and Jamie laughed shaking their heads at him.
"Why the hell were you with him?" Touya yelled hugging Sakura, who hugged him back tightly.
"Touya I change my mind I don't want to leave, please" she whispered making him look down at her then Jin Su.
"I'm bringing her home, I suggest you take this time to hide because I'm going to kill you" Touya hissed glaring at Jin Su who winced. "That's if Syaoran doesn't get to you first"
"No Touya, leave him alone it's not only his fault" Sakura objected when he picked her up. Syaoran stood where he was after Touya walked off carrying Sakura with Takashi and the others following behind.
"So she's the reason you called?" Eriol asked resting his hand on Syaoran's shoulder making him nod. "It seems to me that you've got a lot of explaining to do my friend or should I say cute little cousin"
"Shut up Eriol" Syaoran hissed making him and Jamie laugh as they turned to return to the house. He couldn't believe Sakura was running from him, his own wife was running from him. The prince of China's own wife was running from, if he wasn't in such a mood he would have laughed at how crazy it sounded. "The island is surrounded with military personals?" he asked running his hand through his hair.
"Yep your mother" Jamie answered. "The island is on total blockade" *
*
*
*
* "Is she all right?" Fujitaka asked walking up to Touya as they headed up to the house. "Where's Syaoran and the others?"
"She's fine, he's coming" Touya answered heading to the house. "Sakura has a lot of explaining to do"
"I don't have to explain anything, I told you I'm not leaving" she whispered back stubbornly.
"Why not?" Fujitaka asked when Syaoran finally walked through the bush talking with Eriol and Jamie. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from her lips, she wouldn't be so silly.
"Because I don't belong anywhere but Galatea," Sakura answered trying not to cry but she started to anyways. "And I'm a fool to think that I could have gone with Syaoran. I won't fit in there"
"We have to talk" Syaoran stated stopping beside them but Sakura just dug her head in Touya's chest. "Now Sakura" he spoke in a warning tone.
"I don't want to talk with you" came her response making him jaw tighten. He looked at Touya who sat her down. "No" she screamed when Syaoran throw her over his shoulders. "Touya!" she continued pleadingly. "I hate you!"
"And I love you" Touya replied shaking his head when Sakura disappeared through the doors. They could hear her screaming all the way through the house and when a door slammed shut.
"I think I'll explain to the Queen" Fujitaka sighed running his hand through his hair.
"Did little brother just carry a girl off caveman style?" Fiemie asked with a clueless expression.
"Ah huh" Fanfren answered making them sweat drop. "This is weird"
"You have no idea" Alex sighed running his hand through his hair. *

* "Oh so because you can't take the fact that not everyone won't love you, you don't want to go?" Sakura winced sitting on her bed. "Well answer me dammit"
"Will you stop yelling at me?" she yelled back glaring at him. Syaoran stood in front of the door and glared coldly at her but Sakura didn't back down, she stomped her foot in frustration. "I said I was sorry, but what he said was true. You will"
"Dammit Sakura, look at me. Do I seem like the person to do that?" Sakura looked at him and shook her head slowly. "Jin Su would tell you anything to make you stay here and you know you can't. And how many times do I have to tell you this?"
"I don't know but what if it really happens?" she whispered softly holding her hands. Syaoran walked over to her and hugged her tightly to him. "I'm sorry" she apologized again.
"It won't happen, you trust me right?" Syaoran replied raising her face so he could see her eyes. Sakura nodded her head wondering how many times he would put up with her and the things she did. "I love you Sakura"
"I love you too" she replied kissing him, she wrapped her arms around his neck holding unto to him. *

** Yelen looked up at the roof figuring that they had reached some kind of agreement since as the stomping had stopped. She rubbed her temple when Syaoran and Sakura appeared hand in hand. When he stood in front of her, Sakura inched back a little behind him not liking the way Yelen's amber eyes bore into her. "This is my wife mother Li Sakura" he stated making Yelen nod.
"Is there some reason why she's hiding behind you?" Yelen asked making Wei looked away to hide his smile. Syaoran moved Sakura beside him but she clung to his side almost making him laugh. "I know you're not mute because you passed through here screaming. I take it my son did not to tell you his father picked out a fiancée for him in Hong Kong"
"No" Sakura whispered shaking her head, she wanted to run but Syaoran held her hand.
"And that he was heading home to marry her or that he was a prince?" she continued reading Sakura's expressions.
"No he did not" she answered trying not to cry at the fact that he had a fiancée and had not told her.
"Xiao Lang what are you going to tell Kris?" Yelen asked and Sakura looked shocked. He was supposed to marry the same girl she had said was very beautiful. She wanted to cry, how was she going to stand live up to such a lady? She was starting to have second thoughts again but didn't want to get yelled at by Syaoran again.
"What she needs to know and nothing else, I've married. I never said I wanted to marry her father made the match while I was in college" Syaoran replied firmly making her nod.
"And this girl"
"Sakura" he corrected looking sternly at his mother.
"Sakura, tell me you will live in Hong Kong with my son?"
"Yes your majesty" Sakura answered meekly, one handholding unto Syaoran's and the other her dress. 'Hoe she's scary' she thought trying to get her legs from trembling.
"How old are you and what do you know about politics and running a government?" Sakura gulped trying to think of something to say.
"I'm going to be nineteen and I know nothing about running a government. As you can see we don't have a government here in Galatea ma'am" she answered making Wei looked at Syaoran and smile. "But I can learn,"
"You can learn?" Yelen asked wanting to know what she would say.
"Yes ma'am my father taught me all he knows about medical and my brother taught me how to build a house. There shouldn't anything more difficult about learning to consult a government. It should be the same as knowing how much medication to give a patient" Sakura explained hoping what she said made sense, well is should be the same right? Fujitaka looked at his daughter proudly.
Wei looked at her in disbelief he had never heard any one put it that way before. He shook his head at the young beauty beside his master knowing she was more then an island girl. "There is nothing I can say to dissuade my son from his decision about certain choices he's made. I trust his judgment, and I hope you can live up to being a Li in Hong Kong. We leave tomorrow morning" Yelen stated getting up from where she was sitting. "Is there anything here to eat?" she asked Fujitaka who got up.
"Hai right this way" Fujitaka smiling looking at Sakura who sighed resting against Syaoran. When they disappeared along with Wei and the guards Sakura looked up at Syaoran wondering how she did. She knew she did great when he smiled her, she giggled when he picked her up off her feet and spun her around.
"Beautiful" he whispered placing her kiss on her neck. Sakura smiled hugging him tightly, she loved making him proud. "Come on let's go outside" she nodded taking his hand. They walked through the door and could see that everyone wanted to know what the verdict was, Sakura smiled and her friends screamed running to hug her.
"Guys" Sakura whined laughing as they did a group hug.
"Will is there something you would like to tell us?" Tomoyo asked pushing her video camera in Syaoran's face. He glared at her but she just laughed stepping out of reach.
"I think you already know" Syaoran bit out tightly.
"But you need to tell us" Eriol pointed out smiling evilly.
"Yes I'm going to kill you" Syaoran stated grimly but they just ignored him. "Fine, you guys are annoying" he looked at his sisters and knew that they wanted to know badly. Shaking his head, he sighed "Sakura and I are married" he said loud enough for all of them to hear. He waited patiently for their outburst, crickets chirped the wind blew and leaves rustled.
"AHHHH" they screamed making the island shake, they jumped towards Syaoran hugging him tightly then looking for Sakura who was hiding behind her friends in fear. Naoko, Rika and the others moved out of the way slowly smiling wickedly. Sakura looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck as the sisters bounded for her. *

* Talking could be heard in the house but Syaoran, Eriol and Jamie were sitting out in the backyard talking. "So you don't know how bad it is?" Eriol asked looking up at the night sky.
"Not a clue, she kept it a secret because she didn't want put her family through it again" Syaoran sighed placing his hands on his knees. "I just hope I'm not too late"
"If there's anything that can be done to save her we'll find it" Jamie assured placing his hand on Syaoran's shoulder. "Besides she is the queen after all," he mused making them laugh. "She's going to be an individualist"
"Yeah" Syaoran agreed smiling at the thought of Sakura. "So Kris married Xin Tao ay?"
"Yeah she thought you were dead like all the others. No one knows your alive, the maid who answered the phone was warned to keep her mouth shut. This is going to be a surprise" Eriol stated thinking of all the possibilities.
"I think that biggest shock is going to be your wife" Jamie replied making them laugh. *

* Sakura stood at the window and watched Syaoran and his friends laugh. She smiled touching the window softly. "Please make everything go well lord" she prayed touching the window.
A star streaked across the night sky. *
