"They should be getting to the house around this time" Yelen spoke looking at her husband who was reading over some documents. He looked up and nodded putting the papers down.

"I doubt he'll come over tonight, he'll most likely come tomorrow morning"

"Gwen arrived home a while ago, her mother called and said she was sorry to here about what had happened and Gwen was devastated" Yelen spoke but the sound of her voice said she didn't believe it one bit.

"I know it's too easy. He thinks he's so smart, well he needs to remember that I'm a Li man and I think just like him. If he doesn't clean his act instead of splitting the company I'll save it for his child" Lian stated almost smiling. "Its about time he gave us a grandchild"

"I agree I want to meet this girl. I've called Mei Lin and explained the situation, she should be a good friend for this girl" Yelen stated making Lian look at her raising a brow. "She's wild but she'll be a good friend and she'll need it when Gwen's friend start to attack her"

"You're right, Mei Lin will be good for her knowing how my son will most likely not show her any attention" Lian said shaking his head. "That blasted boy is too much trouble, he's wearing my patience away"

"Don't worry, this will be a good lesson for him. Now are we going to attend the Honda's party and should we bring our light daughter in law? *

** She sat at the far end of the limo as it drove towards her temporary home. Li hadn't said a word to her and she really didn't care. She turned up the music in headset resting back she had to call Tomoyo. Tapping her feet she thought about what she was going to name her baby absently rubbing her belly. *

Syaoran looked at her in silence, he frowned seeing a smile appear on her face. He wondered what she had to smile about but then he remembered that she had access to his bank account. Speaking of which he would have to get her a credit card so that she didn't have to bother him with her needs. Shaking his head he thought about what he and Gwen was going to do tonight after he dropped her home.

The limo slowly and pulled through the gate of a large house, that probably had about ten rooms the most. He looked at the house he had built for him and Gwen, it was supposed to be a surprise for her but now he had to bring Kinomoto here instead. When it stopped the guy opened the door, Sakura feeling it opened her eyes only to see him get out. Turning her head set off she placed it in her purse and headed out.

She looked up at the large house taking in all its beauty, the opening of the front door brought her out of her gaze. A man in his late fifties smiled seeing Syaoran; he wondered why anyone would want to see him when he was such a dick. "Master Li" he said walking out. He stumbled looking at Sakura, who he knew wasn't Gwen, when he heard wife he thought they meant Gwen.

"Hello Wei, show Sakura to the room next to mine and have her things brought there" Syaoran said before walking in leaving Sakura outside. She was somewhat relieved that she wasn't going to stay in his room.

"But isn't that Miss Chin's room?" Wei asked making Sakura wonder who that was.

"It was but Sakura is now the mistress of this house" was all he said making Wei look at Sakura and smile sheepishly.

"I'm sorry" he apologized making her nod. "Come rig-" he broke off realizing she understood what he said. "You speak Chinese?"

"Yeah but that's just between you and me" Sakura whispered making him nod following him inside while another butler got her bags. She noticed that the house was beautifully decorated as she followed him up the grand staircase and down a hall. When they came to the last room he opened a door revealing a room that was silver, she didn't really like silver. The furniture was white but the fabric was all white and silver, it made the room cold.

"This is your room, the door over there leads to master Li's room" Wei said when they walked inside. She moved out of the way so the men could put her bags down before they left. "Your bathroom is over there, and closet. I'll get a maid to help you unpack tomorrow morning. And dinner will be served soon"

"Thank you Wei-san" Sakura smiled liking his attitude Wei nodded before leaving her. Sakura walked over to the balcony and opened the door letting the warm night air in. She looked down only to see Syaoran leaving, she wondered absently where he was going. "Why do I care?" she mumbled walking back into the cold feeling room. She headed towards the bathroom only to smell strawberries, "So this room is for Chin. Well we'll see" walking out of the bathroom she headed to the phone, picking it up she dialed Tomoyo's number and waited. *

Syaoran. *

* He got out of his car and walked towards Gwen's beachfront penthouse. He turned the handle of the door only to see that it was open. Walking in he latched it; coming to the living room he saw dinner and smiled cause he knew that Gwen couldn't cook that was his job. "Expecting someone?" he mused when she walked out dressed in a very sexy teddy. He took off his jacket and tossed it on the sofa looking about the room that could make anyone she that she loved silver.

"Only you my love, you must be famished," Gwen purred walking over to him seductively. Syaoran pulled her into his arms and kissed fiercely making her moan.

"I'm only hungry for you" he spoke between kissing making Gwen sigh but she pulled away and looked at him thoughtfully.

"What about Kinomoto?" she asked making him frown running his hand through her hair.

"She's at the house, other then that I don't know or care" he answered making her smile kissing him again. "I'm going to see my father tomorrow"

"Good" Gwen whispered moving her hand to his pants. "But right now I want you" Syaoran looked into her eyes not knowing how he was going to be able to only see her in private. That meant that he couldn't have her in his arms when he slept and they could only meet here. *

* Mei Lin. *

* She walked out of her bathroom drying out her hair, she looked at her boyfriend and smiled sitting on the bed beside him. She had been thinking about what her aunt had asked her and she hadn't a choice but to agree. "What if she's a real bitch like Gwen?" she asked making him laugh. "Don't laugh Jamie, I'm serious"

"I know but I don't think she'll be just go and see her tomorrow. You don't know maybe you'll like her ay? Why don't you bring to her hang out with us tomorrow? Atashi is going to be in town, we could all hang out" Jamie suggested taking in his girlfriends beauty, her silky black tresses and glowing crimson eyes.

"Okay, I know that Xiao Lang won't even do anything with her since as he was force to marry her. Poor thing" Mei Lin sighed then smiled. "I'll show her a good time here in Hong Kong, we'll bring her clubbing before her belly is too big" Jamie grinned at her enthusiasm.

"That's a girl, now come and join me in bed" Jamie joked, he laughed when he got hit in the head by her towel. Mei Lin pulled it away straddling him, a devilish smile on her face.

"That's not such a bad idea" she growled playfully teasing him. *

*

*

* Sakura. *

*

*

*

*

*

* She sat at the large table by her self, and ate slowly but she really didn't have an appetite. The words Eriol said repeating over and over in her mind, Chin Gwen was Syaoran's fiancée. He had built this house for her and that room was specially made for her and he had enough nerve to put her in it. "He is going to regret it," she mumbled remembering what Tomoyo told her to do. And she was going to do just that.

Mrs. Li would you like anything else?" a maid asked making Sakura wince. She didn't like being called that but she had tried to get them to call her anything else but that and they wouldn't.

"No thank you Rosa, I'm fine. I think I'm going to go to bed. Good night" Sakura got up from the table and walked out of the large dinning area. She headed up the stairs feeling numb, walking down the hall she took a detour and went into a different room. She wasn't going to sleep in that room until it was change completely. If he wanted to be funny she was going to play his game.

She knew that Tomoyo wouldn't let her down, and she had given her all the measurements with the help of Wei who wondered what she was doing. She would have all she needed tomorrow or the next day, compliments of her best friends express shipping. *

*

*

*

* Next day. *

*

*

* *Mei Lin's black Lexus pulled into the driveway, turning her car off she put up her shades and got out closing the door. A butler opened the door letting her in and walked up the stairs having a good idea where to find this woman. She moved out of the way seeing women walking past with bundles of silver and some other things. *

* She was sure she found the right room because it was packed with men and women who looked like they were changing everything about the room. She looked at a woman or was it a child telling a woman where to put things. Walking over to her, she was about to speak in Japanese when the woman spoke in perfect Chinese. "Hello I'm Li Mei Lin" she spoke making Sakura come to a halt. "Are you Sakura?"

"Ah yes, hi" Sakura smiled looking at the girl who was figured was about her age and very beautiful. "Um Li isn't home if its him your looking for"

"No I'm not looking for him, I came to see you. Auntie Yelen told me to come over and see how you are doing so I came but as I can see you are doing fine. By the way what are you doing?" Mei Lin inquired making Sakura flush looking guilty. She looked around the room noticing that it was being down in a pale pink and gold and it was pretty. "You have good taste"

"Thank you but my friend did it all, this room was originally silver and white it was too cold. So I decided to change it all including the furniture that's now cream and not white" Sakura stated making Mei Lin's eyes wide. This was supposed to be Gwen's room when she and Syaoran married and Sakura was changing it. She couldn't help but laugh surprising Sakura, who looked at her wondering what was so funny.

"Oh Syaoran is going to be so mad, this room out of all the others was the hardest to decorate cause it had to be perfect for her" Mei Lin laughed shaking her head helplessly at Sakura. "It was cold wasn't it?"

"Yeah," Sakura mumbled moving out the way. "I don't mean to cause you any bother but I'm fine so you can leave if you want," she said making Mei Lin smile.

"Actually I came to see if you wanted to go out with me, I'm meeting my boyfriend and his friend for lunch. If beats sticking around this place all day" Mei Lin explained looking hopeful. "Come on, it's on me besides how are we to become friends if you don't want to go out?"

"Okay fine" Sakura sighed going to pick up her bag. She was wearing jeans shorts and a tank top. "Rosa when everything is finished could you show everyone out for me?"

"Yes mistress" Rosa smiled watching Sakura leave with Mei Lin. Shaking her head she continued to supervise glancing at Sakura's ballet slippers and dancing shoes. She liked the young girl, she wasn't cold, and she had been told that Chin was whoever that was. *

*

*

*

* Sakura looked out the window of the car as Mei Lin drove down the main street. She thought it was beautiful out, "Its really pretty here" she mumbled missing Tomoyo and all her friends. She knew if she were home she would have been dancing.

"Yeah isn't it, there's a lot to do too. What do you like to do? I'm more into dancing and playing sports" Mei Lin said making Sakura look at her and brighten.

"What kind of dancing do you do? I dance practically everything back home even cabaret" Sakura said making Mei Lin looking at her in surprise.

"Wow cool, that means that you should love going to shows. Oh this is so cool, Jamie's friend Atashi's father owns a theater and they always need more dancers. I dance with them sometimes when I'm not in medical school" Mei Lin offered wondering if they were going to end being really good friends after all. "I think my aunt knew we both liked dancing"

"She sounds really nice" Sakura commented having remembered her uncle telling her they were nice people.

"She's the best and so is uncle Lian. He's Xiao Lang's father, we can go visit them later" Mei Lin smiled pulling into a parking lot. "What are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing and whenever you ask me that I'll be saying the same thing" Sakura answered making her laugh as they got out.

"Good that means we'll be able to do a lot of things together. There's a show tonight we can go and see it together, Atashi's dance too. You'll like him he's really cool" Sakura took all it in now she had something to do. *

* They walked into the café that smelt like hot cappuccino and fresh muffins. They walked to the back when Sakura saw too very good-looking guys, "Aren't they babes?" Mei Lin whispered to Sakura who nodded slowly. "Don't worry, to say so it's cool"

"Which ones your boyfriend?" Sakura asked making her point to the jet-black hair and amazing silver eyes. She looked at his friend who black hair and eyes but was very good looking. "He's handsome"

"I know" Mei Lin laughed when they came to them. "Hey guys, I want you to meet Sakura, Sakura this is Jamie and Atashi"

"Hi" Sakura smile as she sat beside Atashi while Mei Lin sat by Jamie.

"Hey, nice to you" Jamie smiled looking her over he could see that Atashi was doing the same. He hadn't told his friend that she was married but he knew he would have to tell him.

"Yeah, its always a pleasure meeting such beauty except for Mei Lin of course" Atashi spoke making Mei Lin glare at him and Sakura blush.

"Watch it Tashi, anyways Sakura here is a dancer. She used to dance cabaret" Mei Lin said making Atashi nod.

"Yeah she has the body of a dancer, what do you do? Pop, ballet, jazz?" he inquired when a waiter walked up.

"I do all but I love ballet. I want to be in a company" Sakura answered making him look thoughtful.

"Are you coming to the show tonight?"

"Yeah Mei Lin invited me" Jamie looked at his girl friend who smiled and he smiled figuring Sakura must be something if Mei Lin actually liked her. Sakura thought they were very nice and figured that life wouldn't be so hard over here if all the people she met where this nice.

"Hey Candi had puppies and I still have to find a home for two. You guys wouldn't take them ay?" Atashi asked but Mei Lin and Jamie shook their heads.

"We already took one, huskies get large" Mei Lin said making him sigh.

"I'll take them, have they got their shots?" Sakura said but Mei Lin shook her head in a negative.

"That's not such a good idea, Xiao Lang doesn't like puppies" Mei Lin warned but this only made Sakura smile.

"I'm sure he won't even notice they are there" she brushed aside. How could he when he was never home, she hadn't seen him once since yesterday. Besides if he didn't like them she wanted them even more.

"Great if you give me your address I'll drop them by" Atashi said making Sakura blush.

"Oops, I sort of just moved here and I didn't really pay attention to the address" she confessed making them laugh.

"Don't worry, we'll pick them up before I drop you home" Mei Lin laughed at her cuteness. She didn't know why Syaoran didn't like Sakura, she was so sweet and Gwen was so cold but she was just like him. *

*

*

*

* Later.Syaoran. *

*

*

*

* * He frowned remembering the meeting with his father. He couldn't believe he had been told he would never get the company if he were to neglect his wife. He was now sure that his father was playing a very high game with him. The sun was going down because he had gone to see Gwen before heading home to spend time with his wife. "Oh all the nerve" he turned off his Escalade and walked up to the door. It was opened by a butler and walked in noticing that they man was smiling.

"No new messages master Li, are you going out tonight?" Wei asked wanting to know if Sakura was going to have dinner alone but she had said she didn't want any food either cause she was going out with Mei Lin.

"Yes I'm staying in, where's Sakura?" Syaoran asked making Wei pale. Oh this was not good, he was staying and Sakura was going out. This was going to be really interesting he knew.

"In her room" Syaoran nodded going up the stairs. *

*

*

*

*

* Sakura. *

Smiled down at her puppies as she finished curling her hair. She looked at her short pink dress hoping that it was enough; it was a change that she would be in the audience rather than on the stage. "This is going to be cool" she whispered giggling to her self. Mei Lin and her friends were so cool and Jamie was funny just like Atashi. "That's right Kero and Spinal" she spoke walking out of the bathroom. She looked at all her pictures of family and friends and the room felt more like a room, she smiled sadly looking at her sister's picture. Walking over to her bed she started to put on her shoes. *

*

*

The doorknob turned and Syaoran walked in coming to a halt looking at the totally different room before him. What the hell had happened, Sakura looked at up getting off her bed. His eyes darted around the room that looked different and smelt like cherry blossoms and not strawberries. Then he heard the sounds of animals, looking at the floor he saw dogs. "What the hell happened and what are those?"

"I changed my room so that I would like it and those a Kero and Spinal. They are dogs incase you don't know" Sakura answered simply looking at his angry face trying to keep from laughing.

"I know that. Why did you butcher the room? Do you have any idea how long it took and how much money?" he snapped slamming the door shut making Sakura wince and Kero and Spinal hide.

"Silver and white was cold, I can't sleep in a cold feeling room. You can change the other room next to mine into white and silver I want the other room on the opposite side for a nursery" Sakura spoke feeling like she could take him on. Syaoran tried to hold back his anger then he noticed the way she was dressed.

"Are you going somewhere?" he asked harshly making Sakura wince inwardly.

"Yes I'm going out tonight with Mei Lin and her boy friend. I met her today and she invited me to the show" Sakura answered softly seeing his jaw tighten. She was only here for a day and now she was going out. And she didn't even have the nerve to tell him.

"No you aren't, you're staying home. And you're going to get rid of those mutts" Syaoran finally said tightly making Sakura get angry.

"No I'm not and I'm not getting rid of my companions and if you do I'll just get many more" Sakura replied before Syaoran could say anymore the door flew open revealing Mei Lin.

"Sakura, I'm sorr-" she broke off when Syaoran's glare landed on her making she smile. "Well hello cousin, tell me how are you doing?" she glanced at Sakura who looked angry and she knew that they were arguing.

"Fine, she's not going so you can leave" Syaoran snapped catching Mei Lin off guard. Sakura shook her head saying that he was wrong as she grabbed her purse.

"No Mei Lin, I'm going. Come on I'm ready and don't touch my pets. They are mine" Sakura said heading to the door but Syaoran held her by the wrist pulling her to a stop. "Let me go" she ordered softly not looking at Mei Lin.

"You aren't going, Mei Lin leave" Mei Lin started for the door wondering what was wrong with Syaoran.

"Mei Lin stay" she stopped hearing Sakura. The things she got her self stuck in some times. "Now let me go, why don't you go and sleep with Gwen I'm sure she's waiting for you" with that said she pulled her hand out of his and walked out door but then stop. "Come Kero, Spinal," she ordered making the puppies follow automatically. Syaoran stood where he was wondering how she knew about Gwen. Then he noticed that he smelt like her and frowned walking to his door.

"Fine, I'll go and see her" Syaoran spat looking at the door before he slammed the door the led to his room shut. She was here only for one day and she was already bossy, changing things and making plans. *

*

*

*

* Wei watched as Sakura flew out the door with Mei Lin leaving him with Kero and Spinal then half n' hour later Syaoran left looking pissed. Shaking his head he wondered what kind of household this was going to be turned into. *

*

*

*

*

* * Yelen. *

*

*

*

*

* "It seems that Sakura left with Mei Lin and Syaoran left to visit Gwen" Yelen said to her husband who smiled shaking his head.

"She's strong willed, I like that. Tell Wei to make a doctors appointment for her, we need to make sure our grandchild and daughter in law is taken care of" Lian said making Yelen smile. "I want to meet her, you tell Syaoran to bring her over tomorrow after her appointment that he needs to attend"

"I will, I think you are enjoying your self too much" Yelen mused sitting beside her husband who took her hand and kissed it. She loved him very much, she had always wanted a large family but was only able to give him one son. She hoped Xiao Lang would give them lots grandchildren. *

*

*

*

*

* Sakura. *

*

*

*

*

*

* She stood and applauded like the others as she watched Atashi and some of the dancers leave to go and change costumes. Mei Lin was right he was an amazing dancer, just as good as Yukito. "Wow" she smiled making Mei Lin laugh shaking her head in agreement.

"You should see him when he's hyper he practically flies off his feet" she mused when they sat down for the next round. Sakura sat and watched when they came back out, this wasn't like cabaret but more modern ballet but she was really enjoying it.

"I wish I could dance up there too" she whispered her eyes glued to the stage. Mei Lin glanced at Sakura; she still wasn't over the fact that she had seen Syaoran trying to be possessive. She didn't like how he grabbed her wrist like that when Sakura was leaving with her. If he didn't love her she didn't see why he didn't want her to go out. Sure she was pregnant with his child but as she had been told he didn't want the child any more then he wanted the marriage and she wondered why he was so cold.

"You can, all you have to do is tell him and he'll see how you dance and then decide. I'll come over tomorrow and we'll practice together so I can see your technique" Mei Lin whispered making Sakura nod smiling.

"But I'm pregnant, won't that cause a problem?" Sakura whispered back but Mei Lin shook her head.

"Naw, they'll wait until you have given birth" Mei Lin said breezily making Sakura sigh. She wasn't going to be here when she gave birth, she didn't want to be with more then she had to. *

*

*

*

* Atashi noticed Mei Lin and Sakura sitting in the first row; he glanced at Sakura whenever he had a chance taking in her beauty. He glanced at Jamie who noticed him and he looked away. Jamie had told him that she was married to Mei Lin's cousin but he didn't care. She didn't look like a woman who was happily married and she was so, god she was such an Angel.

He was going to make her see that he cared about her, and he didn't care if she was pregnant either. He would love her and her child like his own; he was going to do everything in his power to make her come to him. * * * They all stood waiting for Atashi to show up, "Now that Mei Lin has a partner I won't be dragged here mostly every night" Jamie commented jokingly making Mei Lin slap him on the arm the pouting.

"Fine" she mumbled making him hug her around the waist from behind and give her a kiss on the neck. Sakura smiled at them remembering how much they reminded her of Tomoyo and Eriol.

"You know I'm only joking" Jamie grinned when Atashi walked up waving bye to some friends.

"Hey, ya'll wanna head to a club some of my friends are going out. It's supposed to be a really hot club," he said looking at them. Sakura wasn't so sure, she didn't want to stay out too late but then again it wasn't like she had anything to go home for.

"It's up to Mei Lin, I'm with her" Sakura shrugged looking at Mei Lin who was thinking about it. She wanted to go but she didn't want to make Sakura get yelled at by Syaoran that's if he was home but why take such a chance.

"Naw not tonight Tashi, I have to get Sakura home. Maybe some other night we have to give her notice" Mei Lin said making him nod in understanding.

"Aight no prob, let's go then" Atashi said offering his hand to Sakura who took it. Mei Lin and Jamie followed behind them, Mei Lin looked at Jamie who nodded making her sigh. This was not good; Atashi couldn't start having feelings for Sakura when she was married.

"You're a great dancer, you remind me of a very good friend," Sakura said making him smile charmingly looking at her.

"Thanks now to make us even you've got to make me see you dance" she smiled nodding. She would love nothing more then to dance. "Come by the studio tomorrow? Mei Lin should be going"

"I'll see I might be able to though I would love to" she replied when he spun her around to imaginary music making her laugh.

"Imagine Salsa" Atashi spoke as they moved side-by-side, Sakura laughed turning around with him in perfect unison. Mei Lin and Jamie laughed watching them dance to their imaginary music.

"Come children, its time to go home" Jamie chided jokingly as he spun Mei Lin around pulling her close to him. She gave him a kiss on the lips winking at him he smiled devilishly. *

*

*

*

* Syaoran. *

*

*

*

* He lay awake in bed having come from Gwen's early; he looked up at his ceiling trying to fall asleep. He heard movement in Sakura's room signaling that she was finally back. A frown formed on his face having gotten the message his father sent from Wei when he got back. "Father, whatever game you're playing its not working," he whispered closing his eyes. *

*

*

*

*

*

* Next morning. *

*

*

*

*

*

* Sakura moved about her room trying to get ready, she didn't even now she had an appointment today. She wished they would stop tossing things at her so unexpectedly. "I'm coming Kero, give me a few minutes" she mumbled almost tripping over him. She picked up her bag then him and Spinal rushing out of her room in sneakers, white knickers and pink shirt her hair up in a messy bun.

She walked hurriedly down the hall then down the stairs almost running into Wei. Placing Kero and Spinal down both pups ran off, "I'm sorry I'm late" she mumbled making him smile. "I'm ready, are you ready?"

"I'm not taking you, Master Li is" Wei answered making Sakura's smile falter a little. "He's outside waiting for you" he continued walking to the door. "Coming?" he asked seeing that she hadn't moved.

"Oh yeah I'm coming" Sakura mumbled following him. She didn't want to go anywhere with him even though she was over three weeks that wasn't a lot but passed due for a check up. "Um if Mei Lin calls could you tell her that I went for an appointment and I'll be home around mid noon?"

"Sure, good luck" Wei smiled opening the car door for her, Sakura smiled weakly getting in. He closed the door and stepped back as she buckled her seat belt. Syaoran pulled off, each not saying a word to the other.

Wei shook his head at them as he turned walking back inside the house. They were the most stubborn people he had ever come across. *

Sakura watched as building after building passed as they drove towards downtown. She glanced that radio and was tempted to turn if one but didn't want him to snap at her. She could smell strawberries floating around and had to roll down the window feeling sick in her stomach. "Could you please pull over?" she mumbled inhaling air but it didn't help. "Please I feel like I'm going through to throw up"

"Don't throw up in the car," Syaoran warned pulling into the parking lot of a café. Sakura threw the car door open and rushed inside in side all the way to the bathroom. He sat where he was and watched her disappear wondering why she had suddenly gotten sick. Turning the car off he got his phone and got out dialing the doctors phone number.

"Hello Dr. Avalon's office" a woman's voice answered.

"I have an appointment for ten I need to reschedule for eleven for Li" he said walking into the café and up to the counter.

"Sure Mr. Li, the appointment is for your wife?"

"Yes" he answered ignoring the woman who was giving him the eye as read the menu. He was dressed in simple khaki pants and a white shirt but it didn't matter how he dressed cause he was always being eyed by women.

"Okay sir, you are scheduled for then bye" he hung up seeing what he wanted.

"I'll have a coffee and a bottle of water some mints too" he said the woman who smiled brightly getting what he wanted. A moment later Sakura walked out of the bathroom looking pale. Seeing him she walked up to him wondering what he was doing. "Do you want anything?" he asked not even looking at her as he handed her the water and mints.

"Fruit salad no strawberries," she mumbled not ever wanting to see or smell anything close to strawberries. She opened the water and drank gratefully following Syaoran who went to a booth. Sitting down she leaned her head against the window. "Can you do me a favor, its really simple?" she asked still looking outside.

"What?" Syaoran frowned wondering what she would want from him. Sakura turned to look at him with down cast eyes.

"When you are taking me anywhere, could you please not drive that car? I can't handle the scent of strawberries it makes me sick. I know that you love it because it smells like Gwen but the baby doesn't like it," she stated in Japanese catching him off guard.

"What do you know about Gwen?" he inquired trying to keep the angry tinge out of his voice but Sakura could sense it.

"Everything, and some things I wish I didn't. It's hard enough being married to you" she mumbled looking away 'and having to deal with your infidelities. *
