Sakura threw up what she had eaten in the bag the paramedics gave her. She groaned wondering when she was going to stop, finally it did. The guy took the bag away from her handing a cloth and water. "There's café right over there" he said smiling at her softly. Sakura nodded gratefully getting off the stretcher, she looked at Tomoyo who was speaking with a police officer and Rika who as getting a cut on her forehead bandage.

She knew now that it wasn't a good idea telling Tomoyo that as she drove. Washing out her mouth she stood up and looked at her self in the mirror. "My name is Kinomoto Sakura, I'm twenty I want to be a ballet dancer and my chance has come but I'm pregnant," she started to cry saying the last part. She sank to the floor crying her eyes out, she had a pretty good feeling that it wasn't healthy for her or her baby but she couldn't stop her self. "Oh why me?" she asked no one in particular.

"Sakura! Are you okay?" Tomoyo gasped walking over to her friend. "Oh Sakura stop crying" she murmured hugging her as she cried. "It's not good for you. Ah think about your baby" at that Sakura cried even louder making her wince. It was obvious that it wasn't the right thing to say. "Okay come on, Eriol's here for us"

When she pressed on the break, someone knocked her from behind making her car get caught together. She was lucky because the guy behind her was speeding and he was in wrong for hitting her. Sakura got up with help from Tomoyo; she walked out of the bathroom in Tomoyo's arms.

"What's wrong?" Rika asked running up to them in worry. "Is Sakura okay?" she prayed that nothing physically was wrong.

"Yeah just don't say the P or double B word," Tomoyo answered getting a confused look from Rika. She pointed Sakura stomach making her nod in understanding; she prayed that Sakura wasn't going to have an emotional pregnancy. How the hell were they going to tell everyone about it then not to say pregnant or baby?

"Are you girls ready? Is Sakura okay?" Eriol asked walking up to them. He couldn't believe Tomoyo had gotten into an accident but he was relieved that they were all all right. He didn't know how he would take it if they were hurt in anyway.

"Yeah we're ready, she's just trying to get over the shock" Tomoyo smiled making him nod taking their bags. Sakura got in the back with Rika resting her head on Rika's lap.

"Tomoyo let's drop Sakura home she's tired" Rika said caressing Sakura's hair. Tomoyo nodded knowing she would have to give Eriol directions, since he had not been at the house before. Sakura fell asleep half way home feeling really tired; there was a lot she had to think about and decisions to make. Then she had to figure out a way to tell Susan about her baby slowly. And what about Syaoran? *

* Everyone looked at the door when Sakura walked in dressed and munching on a chocolate bar that she put away when Kaho looked at her. Smiling sheepishly she walked over to Rika and the girls and sat. She had made sure she went to her classes, and tonight she wanted to go to work as well. She knew she had to go because this was going to be a really special night and they would be able to make a lot of tips since, as they would be interacting with the guests. "Okay now that we are all here, we'll have a little discussion. I think it is about time I told you who is going to New York" Kaho smiled making everyone except Sakura brighten. "Now if you are picked you in New York you will have to remain there for about three months" she continued walking over to them as she glanced over the list. Sakura watched the way Kaho moved with grace, is seemed as if she were floating on air. The dancing studio became stuffy as they all waited quietly to hear their names. "You all know that only six of you will be able to go, and if has to be the best students.

"Hai Sensei" everyone chorused, Sakura looked down gulping. If she were picked she wouldn't be able to go because she wouldn't be able to perform unless she aborted but she couldn't bring her self to do that. But that would mean she would have to put her and her sister's dream on hold, she knew that Sakuya would have wanted her to do what was best.

"All right, Kinomoto Sakura" Sakura held back tears as her fellow students patted her on the back. "Sasaki Rika, Yanagasiwa Naoko, Mihara Chiharu-s" Kaho trailed off when she heard soft sobbing sounds. Everyone looked at Sakura thinking she was overcome with joy but it was grief, great grief.

"Um Miss Kaho before you continue I need to tell you something" Sakura whispered looking up grimly. She couldn't believe she was saying this, she wanted to go so badly but she couldn't because it wasn't worth it. "I can't go so please pick someone else" she spoke making Kaho and everyone gasp.

"But why I thought you wanted to go badly" Kaho stated looking Sakura over. She knew how she and some of the other girls had to work hard to make enough money in order to travel even though boarding was being provided by the University. "If you don't have enough money don't worry the trip is paid for"

"It's not that, I just don't want to go anymore please pick someone else. I have to go, I-I don't know when I'll be able to come in. I'll probably see you before you leave" with that said she got up, grabbed her stuff and walked out the door. Chiharu and Naoko were going to follow her but Rika held them back knowing Sakura needed time alone. This was probably one of the hardest things she had ever had to do. *

*

*

*

* Syaoran. *

*

*

*

*

*

*

* "What's the matter with ya'll?" Syaoran asked walking into the room only to see a bunch of gloomy men. He sat down on the sofa and turned on a soccer game, he would pick up Gwen later since as she had to go out and buy something special to wear tonight. He didn't see the need to when it was nothing big, after all it was only a cabaret show. "Well?"

"Naoko, Rika and Chiharu were picked to go to New York and dance for a company" Takashi answered softly. "She's going to be gone for a whole three months if she's picked then she might remain and dance with them"

"And?" Syaoran asked with a bored expression making Takashi frown.

"Syaoran wouldn't understand, in a way I don't want Naoko to go. I don't know what's wrong with me, I haven't slept with a different girl since the party" Mika exclaimed shocking them. In his special case that was really bad, "I'm not kidding, I don't want her to go"

"Hook, don't tell me you're feeling the same way Alex?" Syaoran begged but when he didn't answer he shook his head looking at his friends with sympathy. "Eriol?"

"I think Tomoyo's pregnant" he answered getting all their attention. "But it's impossible cause she's on the pill ya know" he started softly. "Or I think she is" he corrected with a confused expression.

"You guys are bunch of sorry cases, ya'll should be happy they are going away" Syaoran stated getting up. "You're going to see them tonight so you shouldn't be looking so fucking gloomy. I mean they are only girls"

"Is Gwen only a girl to you?" Alex inquired making Syaoran smile slightly thinking about her. He knew she wasn't a girl; she was a woman and a pretty awesome one at that.

"Naw Gwen's different, she knows what she wants to do. These girls very well won't be picked to dance for the company you know? I mean there is going to be a lot of other dancers all over the world participating for these spots. And they only have few, really few" he stated trying to assure them. He didn't know why they were all freaking out so, it wasn't like they were in love or were they?

"So, and how do you know all this?" Mika replied sinking in the chair he was sitting in.

"Gwen almost made into a company" he shrugged with a far away expression on his face. *

*

*

*

*

* Early in the night before show. *

*

*

*

*

* Rika and everyone got ready to rehearse for the performance of the night. She looked at Sakura's replacement and frowned knowing that they would yet again have to slow down in order for her to keep up. "Oh my god, Sakura what are you doing here?" Naoko asked shocked seeing her run up in her practice clothing. She thought Sakura was too sick to come to work.

"I have to dance, if I don't I don't get paid" Sakura answered putting on her dancing shoes. She still didn't feel too well but she knew that as a dancer Chiharu's father depended on them being able to perform.

"But I thought you weren't feeling good?" Chiharu asked walking up from behind with a check board marking Sakura present. She was relieved that she had showed up because she was still ticked from what the woman had said last night.

"I'm fine, I just needed to rest up a little but it's all good" Sakura smiled but her eyes weren't twinkling. "Don't worry I practiced every number so I shouldn't mess up big time. And this practice run before the show should do me well"

"I don't think you could ever, don't over do it okay?" Chiharu spoke placing her hand on Sakura's shoulder. She nodded making Chiharu smile before walking off, Rika had made them promise not to ask her about why she turned down her chance and wait till she felt like she wanted to tell them.

"I'm fine" Sakura said to Rika who nodded smiling softly before she hugged Sakura tightly.

"How's Sakura?" Yukito asked from behind making her jump, standing up she smiled softly.

"Fine as can be" Sakura answered when everyone that would be dancing tonight walked towards the stage.

"Good cause I missed you sweet cheeks" Yukito smiled giving her a kiss on the cheek then Rika. Together they walked out on the stage where everyone was warming up. "I heard that this guy and his son who own a theater from Hong Kong are going to be here. Some say they are planning on stealing some of Mihara's dancers" Sakura looked at him thoughtfully knowing that she would never leave here for someone else.

"Well we'll see who will leave, and how much they'll leave for" Rika muttered starting to stretch. Instead of dancing on the stage like usual they were going to perform in the largest ballroom in the hotel. The tables would be parted in two and they would dance in the middle. These shows were originally for men but now it was okay to have woman attend since, as it was clean entertainment.

"Okay girls and boys get into position" a woman ordered making everyone get up and into their spots. "We'll have eight run through before you can rest up before the show. We'll have no one slacking off, and this will also decide if you will be dancing for the next term" most of the people groan looking at Rika, Sakura, Naoko, Chiharu and Yukito. No matter how much people got dropped those were never even considered and it wasn't fair to some but others new it was because of their technique.

"Let's get this over with so we can grab a light dinner before show time" Rika said making the four of them nod. They all got in the back while the others formed lines and started to dance when the music started to play. Yukito joined the line of other dancers leaving Sakura, Rika, Naoko and Chiharu who were waiting for their song, which would start next. *

She smiled looking at the two men who walked into the room, hugging the older one she moved to the other. "She's going to be so shocked that you two are here" she exclaimed moving back. Their arrival would help her make the man pay who get Sakura pregnant, if she could just find out who the low down scoundrel was.

"We hope so too, is she at work?" the man asked smiling as the younger man looked around the office walking over to the window.

"Knowing the Kaijuu that's exactly where she is" the younger one stated running his hand through his jet-black hair.

"Yeah Touya's right, she's at work. Why don't you come to the show? It's supposed to be a really great" Tomoyo said making them nod as she sat down on one of the sofas with the older one. "Fujitaka we need to talk about something concerning Sakura and it's really important that you help me out"

"Is she okay?" Fujitaka asked taking off his glasses. He hoped nothing was wrong with his brother's only child. He wasn't able to keep an eye on her since, as he was Japan's house of Secretary.

"It all depends on how you take it but you and Touya must promise me that you'll not speak of it to her. Wait until she is ready to tell you" Tomoyo replied making both nod. Knowing that she could trust them and Fujitaka's influence could make the man pay she started to explain. *

*

* Syaoran. *

*

*

* He walked into the large ballroom that was filled with men dressed in black tux and women wearing all sorts of dresses. He saw when men's eyes followed Gwen's amazing figure that was clad in a fiery red dress. Smirking he pulled out her chair at the table that was in the front, he and everyone else would be sitting there. "Well it's about time you arrive" Mika joked walking up from behind with a glass of champagne and a small black box.

"We didn't want to show up too early, besides the show starts in three minutes. Who's the box for?" Syaoran asked spotting Takashi and Alex walking their way with similar boxes.

"It's tradition of course, this is just like a real Moulin Rouge except for the whole sex part. Most of the people here goes to every show and tonight they are going to reward the girls with little trinkets," Mika answered making Gwen laugh.

"No wonder these poor girls look forward to this show. It seems to me that they would probably love it if they were to also sell their bodies" She commented making Mika's smile dim.

"My girl is dancing and she wouldn't gladly sell her body, so please differentiate," he stated sitting opposite her. Gwen looked at him not believing but she kept her mouth shut as she played with Syaoran's hand.

"Hey man," Alex said sitting down making Mika and Syaoran nod. "What's wrong with the two of you?" he asked looking at them oddly. "Eriol and Tomoyo are coming with two guests that's why we have such a large table"

"Oh?" Syaoran said with little interest. "I'm starting to wonder if I should have brought a little box as well" he commented dryly making Gwen look at him. "I have a favorite dancer as well"

"I will not allow you to give another woman a gift" she spoke making him smirk looking her over. "You are to only give me gifts"

"So right," Tomoyo and Eriol walked up with Fujitaka and Touya who were both carrying small boxes.

"Everyone I would like you to meet Mr. Kinomoto Fujitaka and his son Touya" they all nodded to each other as they sat down. "When is the show going to begin?" she asked taking out her video camera.

"Soon" Alex answered right when the lights started to dim. Everyone got in their seats and quieted down waiting for it to begin. *

*

*

*

"You girls knock em' dead" Yukito said giving each and everyone of them a kiss on the cheek. It was tradition, a way of saying good luck and knock em dead. Sakura started to move with Rika trying to get in the mood, she smiled softly feeling better. She always felt better when she danced and tonight she was going to dance and enjoy her job.

"We will and you too cute butt" Rika smiled winking at him. Yukito smiled heading to his spot like all the other dancers. *

*

The room went totally black then a spotlight appeared on the dance floor showing a man who was dressed like a ringmaster in a red penguin jacket and white breeches. He moved slowly making the light follow him, "Ladies and Gentleman. I bid you welcome to Tokyo's very own Moulin Rouge, were the girls are scrumptious, filled with life and will enchant you" he moved a little more swaying like he was drunk making some of the women laugh. "And ladies, the men will awaken a burning desire within you. Now let the show begin!" he shouted before the light disappeared. Drums started to beat a deep dancing tune before other instruments followed it up. The room was filled with a bright light showing all the colorful cancan dancers on the floor.

"Let's rock this joint," a man yelled as they all started to dance wildly. Tomoyo smiled taking in all the beauty as the others enjoyed the show. Syaoran didn't know but he was absently searching for Sakura. When he caught him self he shook his head wondering why he was doing that right when he had his fiancée right beside him.

"Hey where are the girls?" Eriol whispered watching the show. He had to admit that this was spectacular as the dancers interacted with the audience. Syaoran could almost thank Eriol for asking his unspoken request.

"They are for later," Alex whispered proudly making him nod.

All the dancers moved back forming lines then started to line dance rising up their skirts. "Weeeee" they yelled when some flipped over in the line. They moved forward dancing wildly while some paired up with guys. People watched in awe as some girls were tossed into the air like rag dolls, doing flips or tricks. It seemed as if they were in another time, filled with bright colors, enchanting music and dancers that seemed to defy gravity. *

*

*

*

* Then slowly lights dimmed and the music slowed along with the dancers, who all floated towards the edges of the tables. In the roof ropes moved towards the ground when they were close enough to be reached, Yukito and three other men ran for them and started up doing tricks making people applaud.

*

*

"Behold my Queens," the ringmaster sang in a deep voice. The lights were directed towards the stage as the first sheer red curtain rose. Everyone saw Rika slowly look up; she was dressed in a tight red corset that had black designs on it and black panties along with black stockings. Her hair was up in curls that had a black top hat on it. Getting up slowly she placed her cane on the floor. She slowly started to move to the middle of the step when the second and third curtains started up. "Hey sista!" surprisingly her voice rang out through out the room.

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister

Chiharu and Naoko appeared on opposite sides of the step forming a triangle, their hair was the same as Rika's with the top hat. Chiharu was dressed in a dark blue corset with black designs on it; she also had on black panties where her fish net stockings connected to it. Naoko had on purple and she was dressed the same as Chiharu, they slowly got up at the same time moving like Rika. "Marmalade!" they sang out musically.

He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge Strutting her stuff on the street

They moved down the stage seductively as the music started to play, then they just stop looking down, then slowly started to raise their heads. "Hey, Marmalade" they sang together, "She said." they broke off.

"Hello, hey Joe, You wanna give it a go?" a strong enchanting voice echoed through the room as the last silver curtain parted showing off its Angel. The lights left the three girls on the floor moving towards Sakura who appeared dressed in an emerald green corset with black lace. She had on black panties but dark stockings that stopped right over her knees, on her right leg was a garter. She tipped her hat up making her emerald eyes show as she slowly moved down the steps seductively, the crowd applauded.

Moving faster she walked towards a table that just happened to be next to the one where Syaoran and the guys were. Syaoran couldn't keep his eyes off her but Sakura look at anyone but him. "Hey, Joe!" she sang sitting on a young guys lap moving her hand down his chin she smile. "Wanna give it a go?" she winked getting up from him.

Itchy gitchi yaya dada (hey hey hey) Itchy gitchi yaya hee (hee oh)

Everyone applauded when the music started to go faster and they started to dance, with it. Gwen could see now what they meant by dancing; even she had to admit that they were a lot better then last night.

Their feet moved in perfect coordination as they danced to the fast song. Other dancers joined them, but they were out in the front strutting their stuff and they shown with pride knowing that they were the best.

Mocha chocolata yaya (ooh yeah) Creole Lady Marmalade (ohh)

Sakura moved all the way out front and did a fast spin going around multiple times making everyone cheer when Rika and the others joined her. They were right below Yukito and the guys who dropped between them right when they stop.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir (oh oh) Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

When they fell back, the guys caught them moving them across the floor. Sakura smiled into Yukito's eye before he slowly dipped her deeply like the other guys. When they got up they pushed the guys away and walked off towards the stage moving their hips taking off their hats.

He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up Boy drank all that magnolia wine

Fujitaka watched his niece filling with pride when she and her friends disappeared from site as the other dancers danced wildly keeping the crowd entertained. "Wow they are something" he commented making the guys nod proudly. "Where'd they go?"

On her black satin sheets Is where he started to freak, yeah

"To change for the next song" Tomoyo answered breezily. "Get your offerings ready men cause they are coming back for it. Right as she said those words all the other dancers spun around wildly shedding their colorful dresses into more simple and revealing dresses.

"Now boys, it's time for you offerings" Rika sang out appearing in a slick peach full body corset showing off her cleavage. Chiharu and Naoko appeared wearing the same thing then finally Sakura who was dressed in a snow white sparkling one, her long hair flowing down her back.

"Like they say" she spoke joining her friends, who smiled joining the other girls who smirked devilishly looking at men who sat up proudly feeling great.

"Diamonds are a girls best friend," they sang, everyone laugh as they joined the other girls.

"This is the best part" Mika smiled seeing Naoko and the girls head their way except for Sakura who couldn't decide which way to go first and was left on the dance floor by her self. A man got up boldly and walked to her making another get up as well.

They watched as the men put a diamond bracelet on her chest then let it slid down between her breast before he reached up to her cheek to touch her but the other man pulled her away putting a diamond necklace around her neck proudly.

Everyone laughed when the first fumed and dug into his pockets pulling out a bigger necklace giving to it to Sakura who smiled brightly taking it. The other took out another and another and they continued on until Sakura's wrist and neck was filled with jewelry.

She moved to the man and took off his hat dumping the jewelry in it. She kissed one on the cheek making him act like he was blushing then the other and this caused the first to grow angry all along the music was playing along with it. The room filled with laughter as everyone watched.

"She's great" Mika commented watching both men act like they were going to fight when another walked up.

"Yeah" everyone watched as the man pulled out a large crown filled with all different kinds of jewelry placing it on her head. Sakura took his offered hand and walked off with him and the hat filled with jewelry making the first two look at her with a lost expression.

Slowly she turned and smiled at everyone innocently, "Diamonds are a girls best friend" making the room erupt in laughter.

"For a minute there they had me thinking it was real" Gwen mused softly looking at Syaoran who she saw was looking at Sakura. "Is she your favorite dancer?" she inquired making him look at her and smile.

"I thought she was a good dancer, I haven't seen you dance in a long time" he answered giving her a kiss on the lips making her smile. Chiharu and the girls got off Takashi and the guys lap heading back on the stage to finish up.

"Time to dance again" Chiharu smiled giving Takashi a quick kiss, her neck that was once bare now had on a beautiful necklace. He nodded watching her go with pride he loved her so much. * *

* Sakura came up to them smiling when Touya stood up and hugged her tightly making her laugh. "Oh my god, what are you doing here?" she gasped knowing she had to get back on stage.

"To see you beautiful" Touya replied putting on his and his fathers gift on her neck making Sakura blush.

"Thank you, I'll see you after the show?" she gave Fujitaka a kiss before running back on the stage when the music started to go slowly. *

*

*

*

* She wondered all through the rest of the show who the woman next to Syaoran was but she figured that she was just one more of his toys. She placed the gifts she was given in her bag as she finished changing. "Great show, you were wonderful" a guy said giving Sakura a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks you too Mark, see you tomorrow" he nodded winking at her before walking away. Sighing she picked up her stuff and walked out of the room to go and meet her uncle and cousin. *

*

*

*

*

*

* Tomoyo. *

*

*

*

*

* She watched as the others left while she, Eriol, Fujitaka and Touya waited for Sakura. "Here she comes now," she said seeing her run around the corner hurrying to them.

"I'm sorry I'm late" Sakura apologized making Fujitaka and Tomoyo laugh shaking their head at her she was always late.

"Don't, no worries Kaijuu" Touya spoke making Sakura glare at him but he only smile stepping back so Sakura couldn't stomp on his foot. "Not bad, all those days of training surely paid off"

"Thank you and I'm not a monster" Sakura smiled hugging her cousin tightly. "I haven't you seen you in so long, god" she pulled back looking at his handsome face. Then moved to Fujitaka, "Uncle" she hugged him too loving him.

"Niece, you were amazing just like Nadeshiko" he commented making her brighten, he left out Sakuya. She loved it when he told her she was like her mother, Susan never spoke of her mother and when she did she always made slurs against her because she wasn't Japanese.

"Thank you, so where are we off to?" Sakura smiled stepping back.

"How about dinner?" Tomoyo answered making them nod walking towards the door. Fujitaka looked at Sakura, he didn't take the news good when he found out she was pregnant. And when he found out who that useless man was, he was going to make sure that he took care of his responsibilities.

"Sounds great I'm starved" Sakura readily agreed feeling like she as truly starving. She needed to start eating more and what was the use of trying not to get fat when it was inevitable. The thought of being so big made her a little scared, she had heard stories of dancers who had children and couldn't get the weight off. "How long are you staying for?" she asked out of the blue trying to her mind off such thoughts.

"Not for long, but Touya is going to be here for a couple of weeks" Fujitaka answered softly wondering when Sakura was going to tell them about her upcoming baby and who the father was. *

She walked into the bedroom dressed in a negligee only to see Syaoran out on the balcony. She walked out side and stepped beside him looking over the railing. "Did you like the show?" he asked looking at her warmly making her smile.

"Yeah it was good" she commented when he took her into his arms. "Tell me, who's the best dancer me or that other woman?" she brushed his hair from his eyes before wrapping her arms around his neck. She didn't know why that woman made her feel aggressive. Syaoran didn't show any interest in her but the way he was looking at her made her feel worried. She was being silly she knew because she was his fiancée and she was the one that he loved.

"You, no one is better than you," he answered giving her a kiss on the lips. Gwen moaned deepening the kiss. "Come on let's get inside," she quickly agreed to that wanting to feel him. *
