* Sakura groaned turning over in the warm bed she was in, she winced closing her eyes tightly when the morning light hit her. She looked around the room wondering where the hell she was, she tried to remember something about last night but it was all a blank slate. She nearly screamed from shocked when everything started to come back to her from last night. She moved her across her chest then down her legs and butt but didn't feel any clothing. She fly out of the bed only to see her clothing all over the floor, picking them up she put on one after the other. "Oh no I can't believe I did" she spoke scolding her self. "You idiot," she said on the verge of tears. Grabbing her purses she walked down the hall noticing that no one was home and the place was clean. She headed for the door and closed it behind her combing out her hair with her hands as she ran towards the elevator having a terrible hang over.
She knew had missed her morning classes, and she should have been to ballet already. And to top it off she was going to get yelled at really badly when she reached home. She banged her head on the elevator wall as if descended, feeling an aching pain between her legs. "Oh please, I'm sorry lord," she muttered holding her throbbing her head. She would be in bed all day she knew feeling like this; she hoped she would feel better for tonight so she could work.
All the guys looked up when Syaoran walked up to them holding the card of the Virgo in his hand. He woke this morning only to find Sakura wrapped in his arms, he didn't even remember how he sweet-talked her into bed. "What's got you smiling?" Eriol asked when he sat down in front of them.
"Don't mind Eriol, it appears that he didn't get any sleep last night" Mika stated making Eriol glare at him.
"I'm happy at the fact that Mika owes me a vacation" Syaoran answered making them sit up.
"You didn't?" Alex laughed looking at Mika's face, Takashi and Eriol joined in giving Syaoran high fives.
"I did and I don't even remember how I got her in bed. The shit Takashi gave me was fucking strong" Syaoran confirmed making Takashi grin proudly. He had only made them for Syaoran and Sakura but he made Syaoran's twice as strong.
"I hate you Li" Mika muttered playfully resting back. "Oh well I was looking forward to getting a professor" he muttered softly picking up his coffee. "You know I love being a bachelor, I don't think I'll ever get married" he sighed looking up at the clear blue sky.
"Same here, pussy is a man's best friend. Fuck dogs" Alex replied making them laugh.
"So who was the lucky virgin?" Alex asked thoughtfully, "And how the hell did you find her?"
"I didn't find her, I was introduced to her by Rika" Syaoran answered making them look at him with a lost expression. Takashi's eyes bulged out realizing who he meant he couldn't believe it.
"You don't mean Sakura?" he got out making Eriol straighten up hearing Tomoyo's best friends name. He knew how protective his fiancée was of Sakura and he hoped this wouldn't turn sour.
"The one and only virgin Mary, I wasn't sure at first but then when we bumped into her I knew" Syaoran answered making Mika look at him thoughtfully smiling.
"How was the virgin?" He inquired thinking about Sakura. He wouldn't mess with her because she was Naoko's friend besides they didn't sleep with the same girls.
"I don't remember" Syaoran admitted making them look at him in mute fascination cracking up. "Whatever Takashi gave me worked like hell, I remember kissing her but between that and waking up with her in my arms that's about it" he shrugged pouring him self some coffee.
"Ya'll want to go to the cabaret tonight?" Alex asked wanting to see Rika dance. He didn't know if he was getting to be like Syaoran and Eriol but he wanted to see her badly.
"Sure," they all answered changing to a different topic.
"I was going to bring Tomoyo there anyways, she wants to see Sakura and the girls perform" Eriol sighed taking a sip of his coffee. "We're leaving for London in about one and a half weeks, she wants to get a lot done before we leave"
"I can't come with ya'll, I'm going to the mountains with Gwen for a couple days. She's flying in today and planned it" he spoke making them look at him.
"By the time you and Mika want to have children you won't have anything left" Takashi muttered when the waitress walked up. They all watched Mika's eyes followed her curve, smirking. "Li men, I really wonder about them"
"We all do" Eriol smiled seeing Syaoran and Mika share the same smirk before shaking their heads. He wondered if Syaoran really loved Gwen or if he was only marrying her since they had been together from since they were young. He knew Gwen must know about Syaoran's ways but it was obvious that she didn't care. *

* "Where the hell were you last night young lady!" Susan yelled at Sakura who was standing in the middle of her room in her robe wincing. "Well?"
"I slept at Rika's, she needed me to drive her home because she got really drunk" Sakura lied praying she would buy it. She looked at the man who walked up behind her and glowered at his disgusting face.
"Leave her alone and come back to be woman" the man said pulling her back. Sakura looked him in the eyes seeing the way he was looking at her, she felt degusted and made sure her baseball bat was in view. After she had shot Ken the gun had been taken away from her but she made sure she knew how to use a bat and it worked just as good.
"You had better make sure you are in this fucking house before midnight. Next time I'll throw you out," Susan yelled slamming the door shut. Sakura glared at it not wanting anything more then to get out of this house. If didn't hold any good memories for her any more, wiping tears from her eyes she locked her door before going back to bed. The only way to leave her dream world behind was to sleep. *

A week later.gotta rush baby rush. *
*
*
*
*
* Sakura spun around dancing to the classical music, she moved executing every move expertly. She hadn't seen Li for the whole week and was glad, she heard he was out of town with a woman but what did she care? She was only a one-time fling, when she thought about it that way she felt sick in her stomach. She hadn't wanted her first time to be like that, and with a person who only wanted some. *
*
* Dancing and working took her mind off her dirty little secret; she still hadn't told anyone about it but had a feeling the guys knew. "Wonderful girls, wonderful Sakura, Rika" Kaho praised watching them dance. She noticed that Sakura didn't dance as well as she did but it wasn't at all noticeable if one didn't know her all her life. "Wonderful, Sakura do a grande jete en avant" Kaho stated making Sakura nod walking to the side of the room. "Girls, I want to pay attention and watch her technique" everyone moved the side and watched as Sakura did a series of jumps landing perfectly. She looked like she was floating on air as she showed them; they all knew she was the best in the class. "Perfect, I want all of you to work on that, Sakura may I speak with you?"
"Hai" Sakura walked slowly towards Kaho feeling sick in stomach. They walked out the room and closed the door. Rika wondered what was wrong; she knew nothing was wrong with Sakura's display. But she had seen the way Sakura looked ever since the party and she wondered what was wrong.
"Are you okay?" Kaho asked softly looking her over. Something had changed but she was not sure what it was. She was the person who Sakura had been able to confide after her sister's death and during the trial. She figured one of the reason's she had never had a boyfriend was because of what happened to her sister.
"I'm fine, I'm just not feeling well" Sakura answered feeling terribly nauseated; she swallowed trying to hold it down. Kaho watched her grow pale in the face before running to the bathroom. Sakura raced through the door and to the first stall she came to, bending over she through up all she had eaten. *
* A minute later Rika walked in and rushed over to Sakura only to see her heaving. She ran and got paper towels wetting them; she wondered what was wrong with her friend. "Are you okay?" she asked holding them as Sakura rinsed her mouth out.
"I think I ate something bad" Sakura answered looking at Rika gratefully taking the paper towels. She had been feeling really sick lately but thought it was a bug, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Or is it that you haven't been eating properly" Rika chided but Sakura shook her head. She had been eating now a lot and she never usually ate a lot. "Come on let's return to class, you don't have to come in to work tonight"
"I don't think I'll be able to" Sakura sighed resting her head on Rika's shoulder as they walked out of the bathroom. "Rika can I ask you something?"
"Yeah shoot" She smiled rubbing Sakura's arm comfortingly.
"Have you started yet?" she asked wondering if she was counting wrong. She should have started already but she hadn't started as yet and she was getting scared. She prayed that she was just irregular it always was because of her diet but now she wasn't so sure.
"Yeah three days ago, why?" she inquired looking at Sakura. "You have started right?" she knew that they started together every month. "Sakura? Have you?" seeing that Sakura wasn't answering she was starting to fear the worst. But this couldn't happen, could it? And to Sakura of all persons, it was highly unlikely or at least she hoped so. She looked down at the long bare and pale pink hallways trying to focus and get her breathing under control.
"No I haven't" Sakura admitted softly making Rika gasped her hands flying to her mouth. "I'm sure I'll start though, I know I will" she felt really dirty, how could this have happen to her? She prayed to god that it was nothing and she was over reacting to something that wasn't worth it. Right?
"Did you do anything you shouldn't have?" Rika asked softly as if speaking to a child. When she saw Sakura's face heat up, she got really angry and was going to kill the guy whose fault it was.
"I-I well um yeah" she admitted looking down shamefully. "I didn't mean for it to happen really" she felt tears burn her eyes. "I was drunk and I said no but-" Rika knew that if Sakura said no that it could be rape, cause once a person says no that makes it automatically rape. And if she found out who this guy was she was going to make sure he ended up behind bars.
"Did you use protection?" she whispered since as they were standing in the hallway. "Sakura, please tell me you did!?!" she nearly yelled.
"I don't remember, I don't remember any of it" Sakura yelled making her shut up. She hadn't expected her to snap like that, "I'm not sure, can we talk about this later?" She begged softly feeling sick to her stomach.
"Yeah I'm sorry, come I'll drive you to the pharmacy and we'll see okay. I'm sure it's nothing" Rika smiled wondering if she was only trying to assure her self. If Sakura was pregnant it could ruin her career, they were due to New York in a month. And if they were picked they would remain for a couple months by then Sakura wouldn't be able to dance. She hoped she knew who the father of this baby was since, as she couldn't remember if they used protection or not.
"Are you okay?" Kaho asked when both girls walked into the room.
"Hai" they both answered getting back in line to finish up class. Sakura was afraid that she would be and if she were she wouldn't be able to go to New York. What was she going to do? She was nervous that she couldn't concentrate on dancing and was making a lot of mistakes.
"Girls stop, Sakura are you okay?" Kaho asked sternly walking up her to her. She held Sakura's face in her hands seeing how pale she looked.
"I'm fine really" Sakura answered her belly churning. "Excuse Me," she squeaked running out of the room. They all watched her disappear wondering what was wrong, "Rika?"
"She ate some really bad food and it's making her throw up. I think I should bring her home and put her to bed" Rika answered making Kaho nod.
"She shouldn't return until she is better, I'll be announcing who will be going to New York at the end of the week" Kaho said making her nod walking out of the room with her and Sakura's bag. Naoko and Chiharu watched them leave wondering what was wrong with Sakura they hoped she was okay. *

* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
*
*
* He looked down when he felt Gwen's arms wrapped around his torso, her naked body pressing to his. He looked out the window out at the mountains; it would be soon that they would head back to Tokyo. "What's the matter Xiao Lang?" Gwen whispered placing a kiss on his back. Syaoran made her move to the front and he gazed into her amazing crystal blue eyes. She was so beautiful, and the woman he had always cared for a lot. He ran this hand through her long sun blond tresses then moved down to her waist. "Aren't you going to answer me?"
"I was thinking about it, when do you want to return to Hong Kong?" he asked giving a soft kiss on the lips. Gwen smiled thinking about it, she loved him so much that she would do anything at all even forgive his infidelities. She knew she would get him to stop once they were married and it wouldn't be long. She didn't want to be his fiancée anymore; she wanted to be his wife.
"How about at the end of the week? I want us to get home" she answered smiling, she tiptoed wrapping her arms around his neck seeing and feeling his manliness. She knew why he was so irresistible to women but she would let all know soon enough that he was hers alone. "I want us to move into your home, and I want to sleep in your bed soon to be our bed" she murmured against his lips. "You know you wouldn't die if you gave me a kiss once in a while" she pouted cutely.
"You know me," was all he said picking her up. "But I can make up for that before we return to Tokyo" he continued walking over to the bed with her in his arms. She laughed when he rested her down moving over her.
"That's not such a bad idea, Xiao Lang," she murmured against his lips pulling him down to her as her legs wound around his lean waist. *

Sakura followed Rika in the back of the pharmacy feeling really embarrassed. She couldn't believe she was doing this, now of all times. "Which one?" she whispered as they looked over the many pregnancy tests.
"How the hell should I know, there's so many. Why can't they only have one?" Rika replied nervously praying Sakura wasn't pregnant. It would ruin her dreams after she had worked so hard to get this far.
"It shouldn't matter right?" Sakura asked noticing that people was looking at them. Who would have thought buying such a simple test you be so freaking hard, all they had to do was pick one right?
"Ah hell lets get four, we'll know then, weigh them out and see the results" Rika grabbed four walking off with Sakura following behind. "What? My cats pregnant but I want to make sure" she spoke outrageously at the people who were looking at her. Sakura laughed following her crazy friend.
"Anything else ma'am?" the cashier guy asked looking at Rika.
"Sweetie want anything else?" she asked Sakura who grabbed a pack of jerky. Rika looked at her oddly knowing she never ate jerky, shrugging she handed it to the guy and took out her purse. "My cat's expecting" she said making the old woman look away. "We're first time parents" she exclaimed to the whole store hugging Sakura who laughed. "Thank you" with that they walked out the door leaving the store in silence.
"Rika, you are horrible" Sakura laughed shaking her head as they walked to the car. They all probably thought they were crazy to be so excited about their cat's pregnancy.
"I know but it's fun" Rika said tossing Sakura her jerky. "I never knew you liked those" she commented getting.
"That's just it I don't" She replied taking a bit out of one sighing. "We can go to my house, there's no one home" she looked out the window keeping her fingers crossed. She didn't know how she would be able to take it if she was, it was only one time 'it only takes one time' her mind reminded her making Sakura growl.
When they reached her house they followed every single step carefully then sat on Sakura's bed and waited silently. The timer went off making Sakura jump, Rika took her hand and slowly they walked towards the bathroom. They looked down together and Sakura's face paled, she had read the box so much that she had memorized every single line. "AAAHHHHHH" she screamed running out of the bathroom falling unto her bed in tears. "NO, NO!" she yelled hitting her pillow hard. Rika stood on the side wanting to cry, she knew that usually people were happy about this sort of things but she couldn't be.
"Oh Sakura" she moaned walking over to her friend rubbing her back. She wasn't the one pregnant but it felt like it was her, she didn't know what she would do if she got pregnant. And now this had to happen Sakura of all persons, it was just not fair.
"Rika" Sakura cried in her pillow, she was seeing the two blue lines and the pluses over and over in her mind. What was she going to do? Oh god what was she going to do? "I don't know what to do, what should I do?" she choked feeling her friend rubbing her back.
"I don't know but we'll think of something ay?" Rika whispered softly racking her brain to think of something. She must have stayed that way for about an hour because when she stood up her legs ached. She pulled a blanket over Sakura, who had cried her self to sleep. She wrote a note before walking out of the room, she had to go to rehearsal and tell everyone Sakura was sick. *
*
*
*
*
*
*
Later. *
*
*
*
*
* "Do you want us to drop by later?" Tomoyo asked looking at Rika who was stretching. "Maybe she'll feel better from the stomach virus," she hadn't told anyone knowing it wasn't her place to say anything.
"Yeah I called but she was still sleep cause no one answered" Rika sighed when the music started. "I'll see you after the show ay?" she didn't really feel like dancing when Sakura was home. She hoped she was okay and was taking this better then she. She looked around the narrow dressing area, walls lined with costumes finishing up her warm up.
"Yeah, knock em dead" Tomoyo smiled walking out of the room. Rika sighed knowing that dancing wasn't the same without Sakura. She put on her top hat and picked up her cane getting ready to go on with Sakura's replacement and Naoko.
"Sakura's needs to return soon, the boss is starting to like whatever her name" Naoko whispered looking the stand in. "I don't like her, she's trying to take Sakura's spot"
"I know and even Yukito doesn't like her, well she'll be here soon don't worry that girl can't stand in Sakura's shoes" Rika replied looking directly at her while she said it. No woman could stand in Sakura's shoes when it came to dancing, she was the best there was and she deserved to become a great dancer. *

"I didn't think you were coming back" Eriol smiled kissing Tomoyo's hand when she sat down. "How's Sakura doing?" he asked her softly getting the other's attention.
"What happened to Sakura?" Takashi asked softly when the lights dimmed.
"She's sick, probably from working so hard and not eating properly" Tomoyo answered making him nod. Syaoran over heard them but was paying attention to Gwen who was kissing his neck. He watched as the stage warmers exited and the real show was about to begin.
They had just gotten back from the mountains and decided to see a show. He sat up knowing he always enjoyed the show, this time however instead of seeing Sakura he saw her substitute. Half way through the show he lost his interest wishing he was somewhere else. He had remembered the night when he took her he remembered every single detail.
Gwen looked at her fiancé and beloved face seeing his frown deepen. She wondered what was wrong with him the show was wonderful, "Xiao Lang? What's the matter?" she whispered beside his ear taking his hand in hers.
"Nothings the matter" he replied turning to look at her. Gwen nodded giving him a kiss, her engagement ban glistening from the lights of the stage. "This is a lovely show, but they aren't coordinated well" she mumbled making him nod.
"That's because the other dancer to the trio is missing. She's sick, when you see all three of them dance they look like one" Mika spoke up making her nod. He thought was an okay person but didn't really like her protectiveness of Syaoran. He thought that Tomoyo would be the same with Eriol but now he could see that Tomoyo was a really sweet person but Gwen was he didn't know what to place her as.
"Well maybe before we leave we'll be able to see her" Gwen replied with little interest as she clasped unto Xiao Lang's hand. She didn't want to be here and besides she could dance better then these poor trashes. She knew that the guys were interested because of the females whore. She would make sure Syaoran started to go to ballet and not cabarets. It was something a low class did, and she was not of the low class. *
*
*
* Rika and Naoko moved out the front dancing a sequence, they knew that they other girl couldn't keep up with them so they had to try and slow down their pace a little. They spun and looked at her each other seeing that they both agreed.
Rika did a spin when she noticed the woman sitting beside Syaoran; she was very pretty but looked snobbish. She figured she was the fiancée Alex had told her he had. Stopping she looked at Alex and winked making him smile before she continued to dance. *

*
*
*
*
* At the end of the show. *

"Well that was boring, tell me isn't there anything more interesting to watch?" Gwen spoke right off missing the dirty look Chiharu shot her. She knew that their shows were the best and didn't like this woman right off.
"We have the best shows in all Tokyo, one of our leading dancers is sick" Chiharu replied firmly holding Takashi's hand. "She'll be in tomorrow for the special show. My father makes sure his guest have the best performance in all Tokyo, and I'm a dancer" she continued speaking proudly. She tried to hold down her temper knowing that that woman had just spoke lowly of her father's business when it was named the best in all Japan.
"I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad by it" Syaoran stated cutting in. He really didn't want to see Chiharu and Gwen having an argument especially when he and Takashi would be caught in the middle of it.
"Yes I hadn't met it as an insult, we'll be here for the show" Gwen finally said and a bit reluctantly.
"She's right, you know they are the best," Tomoyo continued softly smiling. Sure this woman was talking badly about her friend's performances but she knew better. This woman was a rich snob and she was glad that Sakura wasn't here to hear that cause it would have hurt her.
"Well I guess that's a date, we'll all meet up here for the show. It should be hot" Mika smiled seeing Naoko and Rika walked up laughing. He was glad that they weren't here to hear Gwen's unfair speech about the way they dance. He thought they were incredibly, and he knew that everyone else thought the same.
"Hey, ya'll ready? And by the way that was killer" Alex said making Rika's smile brighten. She loved compliments but they were so much better coming from him. He was the best there was and there was no doubt about it.
"It could have been better, we had to slow down because the girl couldn't keep up. No worries Chi, Sakura will be back tomorrow. She knows how important this show will be," Naoko explained frowning slightly.
"I know, we'll have a great show tomorrow after all performing it has always been a crowd pleaser" Chiharu winked saying that making the girls blush looking down. She looked at Tomoyo thought then smiled considerably, "You know Tomoyo"
"The answer is no Chiharu, so don't even bother asking" Tomoyo said cutting her off making Chiharu pout then smile shrugging.
"Your lost," she mumbled leaning against Takashi.
"Yeah we understand if you can't keep up with us anymore" Rika joked then laughed shaking her head at the look Tomoyo aimed at them.
"Whatever, hey you still want to drop by Sakura?" Tomoyo asked looking for her keys.
"Yeah, I want to see if she's feeling better" Rika answered making her nod. *

*
*
* Next day. *

Sakura sat on her bed eating ice cream out of the container as she waited for Tomoyo and Rika to show up. Last night they had dropped by but Susan turned them away. "That bitch" she spat, her eyes widened hearing her self. She had never cursed before and here she was doing it. "Wow, no more Sakura" she whispered to her self.
She smiled getting off her bed when her friends finally pulled up; she walked down the stairs and out the door still eating grabbing her purse in the process. "Hey pig, haven't heard of a bowl?" Tomoyo teased as Sakura walked towards the car and got in.
"No I haven't" she replied when Tomoyo pulled of. "So where we off to?" she made sure to look down at what she was eating not wanting to get motion sickness.
"I don't know, how you feeling?" Tomoyo asked looking back at her momentarily. Sakura sighed knowing she had to tell her sometime so it might as well be now.
"Okay, Tomoyo I have something to tell you" she whispered softly taking another bite of her ice cream to sink in her sorrows. She hadn't thought of what to do as yet about her little problem and from the look of it, Rika hadn't either.
"What? you got picked to go to New York?" Tomoyo teased knowing how they couldn't wait to find out. To her utter shock Sakura burst into tears bawling like a baby. "My god what's wrong are you okay?"
"NO!" Sakura wailed wiping her tears away as more came.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Tomoyo yelled making Rika cringe burying her head in her hands praying that she would survive Tomoyo's driving.
"I'm pregnant" Sakura wailed through tears. Tomoyo felt her body freeze and her mind go blank, had she heard right?
"Ah Tomoyo, stop light!!!" Rika screamed. Tomoyo's eyes widened and they all screamed as she pulled on the brakes heading towards the intersection. *

* Sakura groaned turning over in the warm bed she was in, she winced closing her eyes tightly when the morning light hit her. She looked around the room wondering where the hell she was, she tried to remember something about last night but it was all a blank slate. She nearly screamed from shocked when everything started to come back to her from last night. She moved her across her chest then down her legs and butt but didn't feel any clothing. She fly out of the bed only to see her clothing all over the floor, picking them up she put on one after the other. "Oh no I can't believe I did" she spoke scolding her self. "You idiot," she said on the verge of tears. Grabbing her purses she walked down the hall noticing that no one was home and the place was clean. She headed for the door and closed it behind her combing out her hair with her hands as she ran towards the elevator having a terrible hang over.
She knew had missed her morning classes, and she should have been to ballet already. And to top it off she was going to get yelled at really badly when she reached home. She banged her head on the elevator wall as if descended, feeling an aching pain between her legs. "Oh please, I'm sorry lord," she muttered holding her throbbing her head. She would be in bed all day she knew feeling like this; she hoped she would feel better for tonight so she could work.
All the guys looked up when Syaoran walked up to them holding the card of the Virgo in his hand. He woke this morning only to find Sakura wrapped in his arms, he didn't even remember how he sweet-talked her into bed. "What's got you smiling?" Eriol asked when he sat down in front of them.
"Don't mind Eriol, it appears that he didn't get any sleep last night" Mika stated making Eriol glare at him.
"I'm happy at the fact that Mika owes me a vacation" Syaoran answered making them sit up.
"You didn't?" Alex laughed looking at Mika's face, Takashi and Eriol joined in giving Syaoran high fives.
"I did and I don't even remember how I got her in bed. The shit Takashi gave me was fucking strong" Syaoran confirmed making Takashi grin proudly. He had only made them for Syaoran and Sakura but he made Syaoran's twice as strong.
"I hate you Li" Mika muttered playfully resting back. "Oh well I was looking forward to getting a professor" he muttered softly picking up his coffee. "You know I love being a bachelor, I don't think I'll ever get married" he sighed looking up at the clear blue sky.
"Same here, pussy is a man's best friend. Fuck dogs" Alex replied making them laugh.
"So who was the lucky virgin?" Alex asked thoughtfully, "And how the hell did you find her?"
"I didn't find her, I was introduced to her by Rika" Syaoran answered making them look at him with a lost expression. Takashi's eyes bulged out realizing who he meant he couldn't believe it.
"You don't mean Sakura?" he got out making Eriol straighten up hearing Tomoyo's best friends name. He knew how protective his fiancée was of Sakura and he hoped this wouldn't turn sour.
"The one and only virgin Mary, I wasn't sure at first but then when we bumped into her I knew" Syaoran answered making Mika look at him thoughtfully smiling.
"How was the virgin?" He inquired thinking about Sakura. He wouldn't mess with her because she was Naoko's friend besides they didn't sleep with the same girls.
"I don't remember" Syaoran admitted making them look at him in mute fascination cracking up. "Whatever Takashi gave me worked like hell, I remember kissing her but between that and waking up with her in my arms that's about it" he shrugged pouring him self some coffee.
"Ya'll want to go to the cabaret tonight?" Alex asked wanting to see Rika dance. He didn't know if he was getting to be like Syaoran and Eriol but he wanted to see her badly.
"Sure," they all answered changing to a different topic.
"I was going to bring Tomoyo there anyways, she wants to see Sakura and the girls perform" Eriol sighed taking a sip of his coffee. "We're leaving for London in about one and a half weeks, she wants to get a lot done before we leave"
"I can't come with ya'll, I'm going to the mountains with Gwen for a couple days. She's flying in today and planned it" he spoke making them look at him.
"By the time you and Mika want to have children you won't have anything left" Takashi muttered when the waitress walked up. They all watched Mika's eyes followed her curve, smirking. "Li men, I really wonder about them"
"We all do" Eriol smiled seeing Syaoran and Mika share the same smirk before shaking their heads. He wondered if Syaoran really loved Gwen or if he was only marrying her since they had been together from since they were young. He knew Gwen must know about Syaoran's ways but it was obvious that she didn't care. *

* "Where the hell were you last night young lady!" Susan yelled at Sakura who was standing in the middle of her room in her robe wincing. "Well?"
"I slept at Rika's, she needed me to drive her home because she got really drunk" Sakura lied praying she would buy it. She looked at the man who walked up behind her and glowered at his disgusting face.
"Leave her alone and come back to be woman" the man said pulling her back. Sakura looked him in the eyes seeing the way he was looking at her, she felt degusted and made sure her baseball bat was in view. After she had shot Ken the gun had been taken away from her but she made sure she knew how to use a bat and it worked just as good.
"You had better make sure you are in this fucking house before midnight. Next time I'll throw you out," Susan yelled slamming the door shut. Sakura glared at it not wanting anything more then to get out of this house. If didn't hold any good memories for her any more, wiping tears from her eyes she locked her door before going back to bed. The only way to leave her dream world behind was to sleep. *

A week later.gotta rush baby rush. *
*
*
*
*
* Sakura spun around dancing to the classical music, she moved executing every move expertly. She hadn't seen Li for the whole week and was glad, she heard he was out of town with a woman but what did she care? She was only a one-time fling, when she thought about it that way she felt sick in her stomach. She hadn't wanted her first time to be like that, and with a person who only wanted some. *
*
* Dancing and working took her mind off her dirty little secret; she still hadn't told anyone about it but had a feeling the guys knew. "Wonderful girls, wonderful Sakura, Rika" Kaho praised watching them dance. She noticed that Sakura didn't dance as well as she did but it wasn't at all noticeable if one didn't know her all her life. "Wonderful, Sakura do a grande jete en avant" Kaho stated making Sakura nod walking to the side of the room. "Girls, I want to pay attention and watch her technique" everyone moved the side and watched as Sakura did a series of jumps landing perfectly. She looked like she was floating on air as she showed them; they all knew she was the best in the class. "Perfect, I want all of you to work on that, Sakura may I speak with you?"
"Hai" Sakura walked slowly towards Kaho feeling sick in stomach. They walked out the room and closed the door. Rika wondered what was wrong; she knew nothing was wrong with Sakura's display. But she had seen the way Sakura looked ever since the party and she wondered what was wrong.
"Are you okay?" Kaho asked softly looking her over. Something had changed but she was not sure what it was. She was the person who Sakura had been able to confide after her sister's death and during the trial. She figured one of the reason's she had never had a boyfriend was because of what happened to her sister.
"I'm fine, I'm just not feeling well" Sakura answered feeling terribly nauseated; she swallowed trying to hold it down. Kaho watched her grow pale in the face before running to the bathroom. Sakura raced through the door and to the first stall she came to, bending over she through up all she had eaten. *
* A minute later Rika walked in and rushed over to Sakura only to see her heaving. She ran and got paper towels wetting them; she wondered what was wrong with her friend. "Are you okay?" she asked holding them as Sakura rinsed her mouth out.
"I think I ate something bad" Sakura answered looking at Rika gratefully taking the paper towels. She had been feeling really sick lately but thought it was a bug, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Or is it that you haven't been eating properly" Rika chided but Sakura shook her head. She had been eating now a lot and she never usually ate a lot. "Come on let's return to class, you don't have to come in to work tonight"
"I don't think I'll be able to" Sakura sighed resting her head on Rika's shoulder as they walked out of the bathroom. "Rika can I ask you something?"
"Yeah shoot" She smiled rubbing Sakura's arm comfortingly.
"Have you started yet?" she asked wondering if she was counting wrong. She should have started already but she hadn't started as yet and she was getting scared. She prayed that she was just irregular it always was because of her diet but now she wasn't so sure.
"Yeah three days ago, why?" she inquired looking at Sakura. "You have started right?" she knew that they started together every month. "Sakura? Have you?" seeing that Sakura wasn't answering she was starting to fear the worst. But this couldn't happen, could it? And to Sakura of all persons, it was highly unlikely or at least she hoped so. She looked down at the long bare and pale pink hallways trying to focus and get her breathing under control.
"No I haven't" Sakura admitted softly making Rika gasped her hands flying to her mouth. "I'm sure I'll start though, I know I will" she felt really dirty, how could this have happen to her? She prayed to god that it was nothing and she was over reacting to something that wasn't worth it. Right?
"Did you do anything you shouldn't have?" Rika asked softly as if speaking to a child. When she saw Sakura's face heat up, she got really angry and was going to kill the guy whose fault it was.
"I-I well um yeah" she admitted looking down shamefully. "I didn't mean for it to happen really" she felt tears burn her eyes. "I was drunk and I said no but-" Rika knew that if Sakura said no that it could be rape, cause once a person says no that makes it automatically rape. And if she found out who this guy was she was going to make sure he ended up behind bars.
"Did you use protection?" she whispered since as they were standing in the hallway. "Sakura, please tell me you did!?!" she nearly yelled.
"I don't remember, I don't remember any of it" Sakura yelled making her shut up. She hadn't expected her to snap like that, "I'm not sure, can we talk about this later?" She begged softly feeling sick to her stomach.
"Yeah I'm sorry, come I'll drive you to the pharmacy and we'll see okay. I'm sure it's nothing" Rika smiled wondering if she was only trying to assure her self. If Sakura was pregnant it could ruin her career, they were due to New York in a month. And if they were picked they would remain for a couple months by then Sakura wouldn't be able to dance. She hoped she knew who the father of this baby was since, as she couldn't remember if they used protection or not.
"Are you okay?" Kaho asked when both girls walked into the room.
"Hai" they both answered getting back in line to finish up class. Sakura was afraid that she would be and if she were she wouldn't be able to go to New York. What was she going to do? She was nervous that she couldn't concentrate on dancing and was making a lot of mistakes.
"Girls stop, Sakura are you okay?" Kaho asked sternly walking up her to her. She held Sakura's face in her hands seeing how pale she looked.
"I'm fine really" Sakura answered her belly churning. "Excuse Me," she squeaked running out of the room. They all watched her disappear wondering what was wrong, "Rika?"
"She ate some really bad food and it's making her throw up. I think I should bring her home and put her to bed" Rika answered making Kaho nod.
"She shouldn't return until she is better, I'll be announcing who will be going to New York at the end of the week" Kaho said making her nod walking out of the room with her and Sakura's bag. Naoko and Chiharu watched them leave wondering what was wrong with Sakura they hoped she was okay. *

* Syaoran. *

*
* He looked down when he felt Gwen's arms wrapped around his torso, her naked body pressing to his. He looked out the window out at the mountains; it would be soon that they would head back to Tokyo. "What's the matter Xiao Lang?" Gwen whispered placing a kiss on his back. Syaoran made her move to the front and he gazed into her amazing crystal blue eyes. She was so beautiful, and the woman he had always cared for a lot. He ran this hand through her long sun blond tresses then moved down to her waist. "Aren't you going to answer me?"
"I was thinking about it, when do you want to return to Hong Kong?" he asked giving a soft kiss on the lips. Gwen smiled thinking about it, she loved him so much that she would do anything at all even forgive his infidelities. She knew she would get him to stop once they were married and it wouldn't be long. She didn't want to be his fiancée anymore; she wanted to be his wife.
"How about at the end of the week? I want us to get home" she answered smiling, she tiptoed wrapping her arms around his neck seeing and feeling his manliness. She knew why he was so irresistible to women but she would let all know soon enough that he was hers alone. "I want us to move into your home, and I want to sleep in your bed soon to be our bed" she murmured against his lips. "You know you wouldn't die if you gave me a kiss once in a while" she pouted cutely.
"You know me," was all he said picking her up. "But I can make up for that before we return to Tokyo" he continued walking over to the bed with her in his arms. She laughed when he rested her down moving over her.
"That's not such a bad idea, Xiao Lang," she murmured against his lips pulling him down to her as her legs wound around his lean waist. *

Sakura followed Rika in the back of the pharmacy feeling really embarrassed. She couldn't believe she was doing this, now of all times. "Which one?" she whispered as they looked over the many pregnancy tests.
"How the hell should I know, there's so many. Why can't they only have one?" Rika replied nervously praying Sakura wasn't pregnant. It would ruin her dreams after she had worked so hard to get this far.
"It shouldn't matter right?" Sakura asked noticing that people was looking at them. Who would have thought buying such a simple test you be so freaking hard, all they had to do was pick one right?
"Ah hell lets get four, we'll know then, weigh them out and see the results" Rika grabbed four walking off with Sakura following behind. "What? My cats pregnant but I want to make sure" she spoke outrageously at the people who were looking at her. Sakura laughed following her crazy friend.
"Anything else ma'am?" the cashier guy asked looking at Rika.
"Sweetie want anything else?" she asked Sakura who grabbed a pack of jerky. Rika looked at her oddly knowing she never ate jerky, shrugging she handed it to the guy and took out her purse. "My cat's expecting" she said making the old woman look away. "We're first time parents" she exclaimed to the whole store hugging Sakura who laughed. "Thank you" with that they walked out the door leaving the store in silence.
"Rika, you are horrible" Sakura laughed shaking her head as they walked to the car. They all probably thought they were crazy to be so excited about their cat's pregnancy.
"I know but it's fun" Rika said tossing Sakura her jerky. "I never knew you liked those" she commented getting.
"That's just it I don't" She replied taking a bit out of one sighing. "We can go to my house, there's no one home" she looked out the window keeping her fingers crossed. She didn't know how she would be able to take it if she was, it was only one time 'it only takes one time' her mind reminded her making Sakura growl.
When they reached her house they followed every single step carefully then sat on Sakura's bed and waited silently. The timer went off making Sakura jump, Rika took her hand and slowly they walked towards the bathroom. They looked down together and Sakura's face paled, she had read the box so much that she had memorized every single line. "AAAHHHHHH" she screamed running out of the bathroom falling unto her bed in tears. "NO, NO!" she yelled hitting her pillow hard. Rika stood on the side wanting to cry, she knew that usually people were happy about this sort of things but she couldn't be.
"Oh Sakura" she moaned walking over to her friend rubbing her back. She wasn't the one pregnant but it felt like it was her, she didn't know what she would do if she got pregnant. And now this had to happen Sakura of all persons, it was just not fair.
"Rika" Sakura cried in her pillow, she was seeing the two blue lines and the pluses over and over in her mind. What was she going to do? Oh god what was she going to do? "I don't know what to do, what should I do?" she choked feeling her friend rubbing her back.
"I don't know but we'll think of something ay?" Rika whispered softly racking her brain to think of something. She must have stayed that way for about an hour because when she stood up her legs ached. She pulled a blanket over Sakura, who had cried her self to sleep. She wrote a note before walking out of the room, she had to go to rehearsal and tell everyone Sakura was sick. *

Later. *

* "Do you want us to drop by later?" Tomoyo asked looking at Rika who was stretching. "Maybe she'll feel better from the stomach virus," she hadn't told anyone knowing it wasn't her place to say anything.
"Yeah I called but she was still sleep cause no one answered" Rika sighed when the music started. "I'll see you after the show ay?" she didn't really feel like dancing when Sakura was home. She hoped she was okay and was taking this better then she. She looked around the narrow dressing area, walls lined with costumes finishing up her warm up.
"Yeah, knock em dead" Tomoyo smiled walking out of the room. Rika sighed knowing that dancing wasn't the same without Sakura. She put on her top hat and picked up her cane getting ready to go on with Sakura's replacement and Naoko.
"Sakura's needs to return soon, the boss is starting to like whatever her name" Naoko whispered looking the stand in. "I don't like her, she's trying to take Sakura's spot"
"I know and even Yukito doesn't like her, well she'll be here soon don't worry that girl can't stand in Sakura's shoes" Rika replied looking directly at her while she said it. No woman could stand in Sakura's shoes when it came to dancing, she was the best there was and she deserved to become a great dancer. *

"I didn't think you were coming back" Eriol smiled kissing Tomoyo's hand when she sat down. "How's Sakura doing?" he asked her softly getting the other's attention.
"What happened to Sakura?" Takashi asked softly when the lights dimmed.
"She's sick, probably from working so hard and not eating properly" Tomoyo answered making him nod. Syaoran over heard them but was paying attention to Gwen who was kissing his neck. He watched as the stage warmers exited and the real show was about to begin.
They had just gotten back from the mountains and decided to see a show. He sat up knowing he always enjoyed the show, this time however instead of seeing Sakura he saw her substitute. Half way through the show he lost his interest wishing he was somewhere else. He had remembered the night when he took her he remembered every single detail.
Gwen looked at her fiancé and beloved face seeing his frown deepen. She wondered what was wrong with him the show was wonderful, "Xiao Lang? What's the matter?" she whispered beside his ear taking his hand in hers.
"Nothings the matter" he replied turning to look at her. Gwen nodded giving him a kiss, her engagement ban glistening from the lights of the stage. "This is a lovely show, but they aren't coordinated well" she mumbled making him nod.
"That's because the other dancer to the trio is missing. She's sick, when you see all three of them dance they look like one" Mika spoke up making her nod. He thought was an okay person but didn't really like her protectiveness of Syaoran. He thought that Tomoyo would be the same with Eriol but now he could see that Tomoyo was a really sweet person but Gwen was he didn't know what to place her as.
"Well maybe before we leave we'll be able to see her" Gwen replied with little interest as she clasped unto Xiao Lang's hand. She didn't want to be here and besides she could dance better then these poor trashes. She knew that the guys were interested because of the females whore. She would make sure Syaoran started to go to ballet and not cabarets. It was something a low class did, and she was not of the low class. *
*
*
* Rika and Naoko moved out the front dancing a sequence, they knew that they other girl couldn't keep up with them so they had to try and slow down their pace a little. They spun and looked at her each other seeing that they both agreed.
Rika did a spin when she noticed the woman sitting beside Syaoran; she was very pretty but looked snobbish. She figured she was the fiancée Alex had told her he had. Stopping she looked at Alex and winked making him smile before she continued to dance. *

"Well that was boring, tell me isn't there anything more interesting to watch?" Gwen spoke right off missing the dirty look Chiharu shot her. She knew that their shows were the best and didn't like this woman right off.
"We have the best shows in all Tokyo, one of our leading dancers is sick" Chiharu replied firmly holding Takashi's hand. "She'll be in tomorrow for the special show. My father makes sure his guest have the best performance in all Tokyo, and I'm a dancer" she continued speaking proudly. She tried to hold down her temper knowing that that woman had just spoke lowly of her father's business when it was named the best in all Japan.
"I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad by it" Syaoran stated cutting in. He really didn't want to see Chiharu and Gwen having an argument especially when he and Takashi would be caught in the middle of it.
"Yes I hadn't met it as an insult, we'll be here for the show" Gwen finally said and a bit reluctantly.
"She's right, you know they are the best," Tomoyo continued softly smiling. Sure this woman was talking badly about her friend's performances but she knew better. This woman was a rich snob and she was glad that Sakura wasn't here to hear that cause it would have hurt her.
"Well I guess that's a date, we'll all meet up here for the show. It should be hot" Mika smiled seeing Naoko and Rika walked up laughing. He was glad that they weren't here to hear Gwen's unfair speech about the way they dance. He thought they were incredibly, and he knew that everyone else thought the same.
"Hey, ya'll ready? And by the way that was killer" Alex said making Rika's smile brighten. She loved compliments but they were so much better coming from him. He was the best there was and there was no doubt about it.
"It could have been better, we had to slow down because the girl couldn't keep up. No worries Chi, Sakura will be back tomorrow. She knows how important this show will be," Naoko explained frowning slightly.
"I know, we'll have a great show tomorrow after all performing it has always been a crowd pleaser" Chiharu winked saying that making the girls blush looking down. She looked at Tomoyo thought then smiled considerably, "You know Tomoyo"
"The answer is no Chiharu, so don't even bother asking" Tomoyo said cutting her off making Chiharu pout then smile shrugging.
"Your lost," she mumbled leaning against Takashi.
"Yeah we understand if you can't keep up with us anymore" Rika joked then laughed shaking her head at the look Tomoyo aimed at them.
"Whatever, hey you still want to drop by Sakura?" Tomoyo asked looking for her keys.
"Yeah, I want to see if she's feeling better" Rika answered making her nod. *

Sakura sat on her bed eating ice cream out of the container as she waited for Tomoyo and Rika to show up. Last night they had dropped by but Susan turned them away. "That bitch" she spat, her eyes widened hearing her self. She had never cursed before and here she was doing it. "Wow, no more Sakura" she whispered to her self.
She smiled getting off her bed when her friends finally pulled up; she walked down the stairs and out the door still eating grabbing her purse in the process. "Hey pig, haven't heard of a bowl?" Tomoyo teased as Sakura walked towards the car and got in.
"No I haven't" she replied when Tomoyo pulled of. "So where we off to?" she made sure to look down at what she was eating not wanting to get motion sickness.
"I don't know, how you feeling?" Tomoyo asked looking back at her momentarily. Sakura sighed knowing she had to tell her sometime so it might as well be now.
"Okay, Tomoyo I have something to tell you" she whispered softly taking another bite of her ice cream to sink in her sorrows. She hadn't thought of what to do as yet about her little problem and from the look of it, Rika hadn't either.
"What? you got picked to go to New York?" Tomoyo teased knowing how they couldn't wait to find out. To her utter shock Sakura burst into tears bawling like a baby. "My god what's wrong are you okay?"
"NO!" Sakura wailed wiping her tears away as more came.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Tomoyo yelled making Rika cringe burying her head in her hands praying that she would survive Tomoyo's driving.
"I'm pregnant" Sakura wailed through tears. Tomoyo felt her body freeze and her mind go blank, had she heard right?
"Ah Tomoyo, stop light!!!" Rika screamed. Tomoyo's eyes widened and they all screamed as she pulled on the brakes heading towards the intersection. *
