Sakura looked at Syaoran's boyish expression brushing his hair from over his eyes. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there looking at his face. Things were counting down and soon in a couple of weeks they would be parents. That thought made her glow, and her friends would be arriving in a week's time. "I love you so," she whispered tracing a line under his chin and across his lips, a smile on her face.
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?" Syaoran asked making her move her hand back but he held it to his cheek feeling her soft skin.
"Yeah" she mused smiling when he opened his eyes. They were in his bed, she loved his bed it was so very soft and large. And she was even happier that he had never brought Gwen to it. It was funny how life threw things at you, and at first you hate it but then all turns out perfectly.
"How long have you been up?" he asked softly sitting up. He glanced at his clock and knew that he would have to go to work soon.
"Not long," she answered giving him a kiss on the lips making him return it with open adoration. "Go shower, I'm going to make breakfast for us" she whispered between kisses making him smile.
"Isn't the reason why we have a cook is so that you don't have to cook?" he asked making her flush looking down when Kero and Spinal jumped unto the bed.
"I want to" she replied softly making him sigh and agree. "Good, what do you want?"
"You" he chuckled seeing her turn red. Sakura slapped him on the arm shaking her head at him.
"You are horrible Li Xiao Lang" she spoke firmly then smiled not able to keep up her serious act. "Seriously"
"What makes you think I'm not being serious?" he asked raising one brow, Sakura didn't know what to say. She couldn't he believe him but she figured that this was the probably the longest he had ever been without a woman.
"Well just between you and me" she whispered mischievously moving closer to him. Syaoran waited to hear what she had to say, "I can't wait either" he grinned looking at her face.
"Good cause now I won't feel bad when I hold you down in a couple of months" he stated seriously making her hold back a horrified giggle. Shaking her head she gave him one last kiss before scooting out of the bed.
"I won't, now go and get ready" she chided walking to her room but Syaoran got a hold of her arm and pulled her back gently towards him. Sakura gasped when his mouth took hers in a lingering kiss making her feel weak in the knees. It was hard to believe that just his kisses did this to her, she wondered how lovemaking would affect her.
"Now I'll get ready," he whispered against her lips, Sakura looked into his eyes with a dreamy expression. Swallowing she nodded when he let her go, finding her coordination she gave him a fleeting kiss before walking to her room. Syaoran smiled watching her go before he got out of bed to get ready for work. "Work" he groaned inwardly.

*
*
* Gwen
*
*
*
*
* "We'll have to do this soon, she has less than a month left" Gwen spoke making her accomplices shake their head in agreement. "This should be a piece of cake, ne?"
"Of course, we've done this before" Atashi replied making her grin. Ken sat in the chair looking at Atashi. He knew that he hadn't a clue what Gwen had in store for his little friend.
"Right, so we'll snatch her in about a week or before then we'll take her to the camp. And finally get her out of Hong Kong" Gwen explained going over the plan leaving out the details cause she knew how things were to go.
"I'll get her" Atashi spoke softly. "It'll be a lot easier for me, and we have to get her before her friends get here" he spoke making them shake their heads in agreement. He got up from where he was sitting and looked out Gwen's window, 'you'll be mine soon Sakura' he thought smiling. *

"I'm glad that you guys are coming, I miss you badly. And you'll like Kanbi and Mei Lin they are really nice" Sakura said walking around her room with Tomoyo on the phone.
"I'm sure that they are, if you get along with them. There shouldn't be any reason why we won't" Tomoyo replied sighing a document for one of workers. She smiled at the guy who took it and walked out of her office. "So how you doing?"
"Great, I've been feeling a bit tired lately but other than that it's nothing" Sakura answered tossing Kero's play ball across her room making both of them run after it. She felt better being in her room when Syaoran wasn't home; she didn't know why that was.
"That's good, god I can't wait for all of us to be together again" Tomoyo exclaimed making Sakura giggle. "Think of all the things we'll have to catch up on. And the babies, oh the babies"
"Tomoyo calm down, breath" she teased making Tomoyo laugh resting back in her black leather chair. "Just wait until you have children, poor Eriol"
"Hey!" she defended ignoring the people who were passing by her office. "That's not a nice thing to say even though it's true" Sakura laughed shaking her head hopelessly. "Sakura, I'll have to call you back later. I have a photo shoot"
"Okay, it was great talking to you, Ja" Sakura sighed wondering what she was going to do now.
"Ja, and tell Xiao Lang hi for me too" Tomoyo sighed, smiling she hung up the phone and got up with her files. "Life is great" *
*
*
*
* Syaoran later. *
*
*
*
*
* "Can I open my eyes now?" Sakura asked softly as she walked with Syaoran's hands leading her down the steps so she didn't trip.
"Not yet" was his response making her sigh. Syaoran smiled at her face knowing that she wanted to open her eyes very much but he couldn't let her. People watched as they walked together and smiled shaking their heads at them.
"Please?" she begged cutely making him chuckle when they came to a stop, her white mother dress flapping in the cool wind. He turned her around but she didn't open her eyes because he hadn't told her to.
"Not yet" he whispered beside her ear as he reached into his pocket. Taking out the necklace he placed it around her neck and latched it.
"What is it?" she asked fingering the heart shaped object, she was dying from temptation just to see what it was.
"Okay you can open your eyes now, don't look down" he spoke making her slowly open her eyes only to see a really large white sail boat in front of her, the sails seemed to go up forever.
"Hoe!" she gasped, her hands covering her mouth as she looked at it in disbelief. She couldn't believe it, "Xiao Lang, it's ah oh wow," he laughed hearing her words.
"Look at the name" her eyes moved to it only to see her name.
"Sakura, Cherry Blossom. That's a funny name for a boat don't you think?" she teased turning to look at her husband. She couldn't believe he had actually bought her a boat, and such a large one.
"I don't think so, I think it's perfect" he replied touching her locket. Sakura looked at the second locket on her neck, it was heart shaped with a heart shaped emerald stone in the middle. 'My beloved Ying Fa' it read and she looked at him with misty eyes. "Why tears?"
"I can't help it. You are so incredibly wonderful Xiao Lang," she answered making him smile wiping them away. "I want to hug you tightly but unfortunately that's not possible yet" she admitted making him grin. "I don't know what to say"
"Say you like them" he opted holding her hands. Sakura looked down briefly then right into his intense ambers eyes knowing that he was the best husband in the entire world.
"Like? I love them, and I love you" Sakura stated passionately tiptoeing to give him a sweet kiss. He smiled in the kiss and placed the captains hat he had behind him on her head. Sakura giggled touching it, the things he came up with she wondered if he would always surprise her with such gifts.
"Captain, would you like a tour of you vessel?" he asked making her shake her head vigorously. "Unfortunately this won't be leaving the docks until the babies are at least a couple of months old" she shook her head in agreement as they walked aboard. *

Inside the Members lounge. *
*
*
*
*
* A man loaded the camera he had looking at the newest addition to his club as they headed towards him. "Who would have thought we would have Li Xiao Lang joining this club. I remember him, he hated sailing"
"I believe he bought the boat for his young wife. She supposedly loves sailing" a woman answered softly leaning against the counter. "So in love they are. I think it's funny that he dumps a Chin for a commoner. It shows you that romance novels aren't a load of crap" she sighed making her sister smile holding up her latest Novel.
"So tru so tru" she chanted turning the page making her sister smile.
"What are you reading now?" she inquired softly sitting on the chair. This was where their family made money, in the yachting business.
"I'm reading the novel Cherry, My Love," her sister answers brightly when Sakura and Syaoran walked into the room. The girls looked at the couple while their father got his camera ready.
"Li, I'm just about ready to take your member photo. I'm going to place you right beside your parents" their father stated in a happy tone. They knew why he was so happy; whenever someone like them joined they always had friends who did the same.
"Okay, Sakura is going to start taking her classes as soon as she's ready" Syaoran stated making him nod getting his camera ready.
"Okay I'm ready now, get beside each other anyway you like"
"Can we take it outside? The sun is going down," Sakura asked softly surprising him. He looked outside and saw that there was going to be a beautiful sunset, he agreed and they walked out leaving the girls alone.
"He is so hot" she whispered to her older sister making her laugh nodding fully agreement.
"I know, and she's beautiful too such a couple. I want something like that" she sighed dreamily making her sister laugh.
"Except you are ugly," she joked playing. "Ah' she exclaimed running off when her sister ran after her. "You are"
"I'm not" she defended laughing as well. *

*
*
*
* Yelen.. Next day *
*
*
*
*
*
* She walked into her husband's office only to see him staring out his office window. Walking over to him she saw that he was smiling, "What's go you so happy?" she smiled thinking how much he and Xiao Lang looked alike when they smiled. Lian held up a framed picture.
Taking it Yelen looked at Sakura and Syaoran, it was the picture from the yacht club. "It's beautiful, how come I didn't get one?" she smiled looking at the gorgeous sunset in the background and Sakura who had on a captain's hat.
"They have one, Xiao Lang went back to his office to get it for you. Do you know he bought her a sail boat?" Yelen shook her head she hadn't known that. "We weren't wrong at all forcing them together, it was a success"
"I know, now he'll be happy and so shall she. Is she home?" Yelen inquired making him shake his head as he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"No she's on her way over here, we're going out for lunch" he answered softly when Syaoran walked into the room smiling.
"Mother" he nods his head, Yelen smiled looking at her very handsome son. "I just got off the phone with Sakura. She's heading over but she has to make a stop first at somewhere" they shook their heads when he handed Yelen her picture.
"Wonderful" she beamed looking at it before she gently placed it on the desk. *
*
*
*
*
* Sakura. *
*
*
* "Thank you ma'am" the man smiled handing her the smile bag, Sakura took it putting down her shades.
"Nope thank you, so" she beamed a smile at him before heading towards the door. Looking both ways she walked towards the parking lot holding the small bag she had picked up for Xiao Lang. She knew he would love this gift, and it symbolized him so.
Stopping beside her car started to look for her keys, she was so deep in what she was doing that she didn't hear the van pulling up from behind. It stopped beside her and the sliding door opened, she looked up and a scream caught in her throat seeing how it was. "Hello you too Sakura" the man smiled evilly grabbing a hold of her. He ducked when Sakura swung the bag around and pressed a cloth to her nose and mouth. *
*
*
The man looked at his counter and saw that she had left her keys on the other counter. Picking it up he rushed out the door; he stopped dead in his tracks seeing her being attacked. "Hey what the hell" he yelled drawing other peoples attention to what was happening. He raced across the road when the white van pulled off; he looked at the license plate only to see that it was covered. "Somebody call the police," he shouted stopping in front of Sakura's car. Bending down he picked up the small bag, her purse glancing at her license plate only to see it say, "Li Ying Fa"
He got up and raced back to his jewelry store, the sound of sirens in the distance from the people who had called the police. *
*
*
*
*
*The kidnappers. *
*
*
* "Hey fuck drive carefully, you know what Gwen wants" Ken hissed glaring at Atashi who slowed down pulling to a stop at the red light. He smiled charmingly at the woman beside him making her wink.
"That I can do" he spoke pulling off again heading towards the docks where his sailboat was. This was going to go a lot better than the first time they had tried; he was going to get what he wanted now. Ken looked at Sakura's unconscious form lying on the blankets and smiled. She had gotten a lot more beautiful from the last time he had seen her. He could clearly remember the way he felt in side Sakuya when he took away her innocence and he was ready to try again.
"So ready" he grinned knowing that after Gwen got what she wanted he would have Sakura like she had promised him. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number waiting for it to be picked up. "Mission accomplished"
"Good boy, I'll be waiting for you at the cabin" Gwen laughed before hanging up. The Van pulled to a stop and Atashi got out and opened the door. Ken picked up Sakura's body and got out. Together they walked to the deserted, private docks towards his sailboat. *
*
*
*
* * Syaoran *
*
*
*
* he glanced at his watch when Sakura was more than fifteen minutes late. Getting up from where he was sitting he picked up his father's phone and dialed her number. "I've given her more than enough time to get here" he spoke listening to her phone ring, he started to get worried when she didn't answer.
"I'm sure it's only traffic" Yelen said softly when Lian's office door opened revealing his secretary who looked scared.
"Mr. Li, there's an officer Ahmed here to see you" she spoke making Syaoran's heart stop. He turned slowly to the door not knowing that Yelen had to be held up by Lian.
"Let him in" Lian stated making her nod. He looked at the young man when he walked into the office followed by two more policemen. "Can I help?" he asked softly wondering what they wanted.
Ahmed looked at Syaoran sadly looking at the plastic bag containing Sakura's belongings. "I'm sorry to inform but Mrs. Li has been kidnapped" Syaoran looked at him with a stony face. He was sure that man wasn't speaking Chinese; he had to have been speaking something else.
"Oh dear god" Yelen gasped when her legs gave out on her, Lian had to hold her up. "Surely you are joking" Ahmed looked down sadly and not to see the icy glare he was getting.
"I'm afraid not, I'm very sorry"
"Get out, is this some kind of sick joke?" Syaoran growled making them step back. Lian sat Yelen down in his chair and held Syaoran back. "No you are lying, Sakura is on her way here. Dammit No!"
"Xiao Lang" Lian said to his son making Syaoran look at him with a haunted expression.
"Father, this can't be true" he whispered making Ahmed take out a small clear zip lock bag.
"We think it might be a ransom, there was a letter left by her things" Ahmed explained nodding his man who placed Sakura's things on Lian's desk. "She was at the store picking up something she had ordered. Did you know that she was going to the store?"
"No, she said she was picking something up before she came here. We're all due for lunch" Yelen answered seeing the devastated look on Syaoran's face. "Xiao Lang was just about to call her," she was trying her best to be strong and not let her emotions get a hold of her.
"What's the price?" Syaoran asked feeling like he had died. He couldn't believe this was happening, it was like what had happened with Kris. But it was Sakura, his wife and she's pregnant.
"We haven't a clue, as yet" Ahmed sighed running his hand through his hair. "We have our people working on that now, we're looking for every suspicious white vans"
"Do you have any idea how many companies in Hong Kong use those kinds of vans?" Lian asked watching Syaoran walk over to the window and place his hand on it.
"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to pay whatever the cost to get Sakura back. Anything just to get her back" he stated in a firm tone. "Anything,"
"Right, is there anyone who doesn't like Sakura? Who might have a problem with her?" Ahmed asked, as his men got ready to write down anything he told them. Syaoran swallowed the lump in his throat when two names instantly popped up in his head.
"Yes" he turned to look at them. "There's Chin Gwen and Ashiwa Atashi though he didn't hate her, he wanted her" he explained coldly trying to think of anything else who would want Sakura out of the way but no one else came to mind. "I can't think of anyone else, everyone loved her"
"Thank you, we'll check this out right away" one of the men left the room taking out his cell phone. "Can we have a description of her? Anything, marks that will distinguish her, birth marks, scars?"
"Take this, it was just taken yesterday" Yelen spoke holding out the picture. Ahmed took it and looked her over noticing how beautiful she was, and how very pregnant.
"She has a small scar on the back of her thigh, there's nothing else" Syaoran answered making him nod writing it down. "How will we know when they are going to call?"
"We haven't a clue" he answered when Lian's secretary sounded on the phone.
"Mr. Li there's a phone call from a man for your son. He said that's its life and death"
"Put it through" Lian ordered, they quieted waiting to hear who the person was.
"Well, hello" a deep voice sounded making Yelen take deep breath. "I'm sure you know who I am. Listen carefully, I have the woman, she's still very much alive at least for now"
"What do you want?" Syaoran ordered making him laugh looking at Sakura who was gag, her eyes widen.
"A lot of money, I have yet to decide"
"How do we know Sakura is still alive?" Lian asked, Ahmed listen carefully wishing they had the line tapped.
"Proof" Ken nodded to Atashi who removed the gag.
"Xiao Lang, I know who they are-" she was cut off but they head all she said. He relaxes seeing that she was okay, and she had given them something.
"She's a bad one, I'll call you back at your home office with the conditions" with that said the phone went dead.
"She knows who they are" Ahmed spoke thoughtfully, looking at Syaoran he rose a brow.
"She's met a lot of people. We've attended many parties, I couldn't possibly name everyone there's too much. And she knows people I don't know" he growled angrily pushing his hands in his pocket.
"We could always go through at the lists of the parties and see who all attended. And there are always videos at these things" Lian helped out. Syaoran looked at his father gratefully, he still couldn't believe this was happening.
"That would be really helpful. We're going to try everything to get her back don't worry"
"How the hell can you say don't worry? She's almost due and with twins, what if they aren't careful?" Syaoran hissed he was in a real sour mood. If he found out that those bastards are, he would kill them with his bare hands. *
*
*
*
*
Sakura. *
*
*
* * She looked at the two men who had taken her and felt tears burn her eyes. "He was right, you aren't someone I should have gotten friendly with," she hissed looking at Atashi who ignored her.
"Shut up wench, and enjoy the ride. I heard you love sailing" Ken spat grabbing her face in a tight grip, he was large build man very muscular with jet black hair and endless black eyes, he also had a scar on his left jaw. "You should have shot to kill don't you think?" he laughed gruffly pushing her face away before he sat beside Atashi.
"What are you going to ask for?" Atashi asked meaning the money as he mapped out the course they would be taking. It had to be less hazardous and quick.
"A lot, I want to be set for life and this plan is full proof" Ken grinned taking a swig of his beer. He looked at Sakura and winked making her glare at him, "It's good that she's about to pop"
"Yeah Gwen planned this great. She's always been a great planner," Atashi answered making Sakura's eyes widen. She should have known that Gwen took Syaoran breaking up with her too easy. And now she was here, and was going to pay along with her boys.
"Why are you doing this?" she cried softly, her emotions taking over. Atashi looked at her and smiled.
"Because you belong to me, and not that bastard. He doesn't know how to treat a woman, I can treat you a lot better" He answered softly making her feel sick in the stomach.
"You think that I would ever want you after you've done this?" she yelled making him wince going to gag her. "It makes me hate you, how could you" she was cut off because he taped her mouth shut.
"You will, trust me you'll learn" he assured caressing her cheek lovingly but Sakura moved her face away blinking back tears. *
*
*
*
*
* Tomoyo. *
*
* *
"Oh god no" she cried sinking to the chair with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening; she must be living a dream. "Don't tell me that, don't you tell me that" she screamed making Eriol walk up to her.
"Tomoyo" he soothed making her fall in his arms. He hugged her as she tried her tears on his chest.
"Eriol, this isn't supposed to be happening. Not to her, to them" she wailed making him pick her up and sit on the sofa. He held her like a child; he looked just as devastated as Syaoran sounded. He hadn't even been able to finish the call because his voice gave out and cracked.
"I know, Syaoran is waiting for a phone call from the kidnappers. They've already started gathering money but they haven't a clue how much they are going to want" he whispered making her look at him with red eyes.
"I bet it's that bitch Gwen, she kidnapped Sakura. She did because she was jealous of Sakura, she was jealous," Tomoyo yelled pushing out of Eriol's arms standing up. She didn't make it far when she came to a halt and paled, "Oh my god" she gasp spinning around.
"What's the matter?" Eriol asked worried seeing her facial expression. Tomoyo looked at her husband and felt like she was going to be sick as fear consumed her soul.
"Ken, he got out a couple of months ago. He got out" Tomoyo yelled making Eriol share her expression. "Sakura told me she had been feeling him near her but she thought she was being paranoid. This is all my fault, I should have told Xiao Lang" she cried feeling immense guilt.
"No it's not" Eriol stated firmly holding her back the shoulders but he saw that Tomoyo wouldn't believe him.
"No it is, I should have told someone but I didn't. I didn't, Eriol if she dies it's my fault" Tomoyo choked going into shock.
"No Tomoyo" Eriol yelled shaking her, Tomoyo looked at him as a new set of tears started to stream down her face.
"Yes" she wailed wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yes, Eriol" he hugged her knowing that they would have to leave for Hong Kong right away. They would have to be there to give Syaoran support. He didn't even want to wonder what he was feeling right now if Tomoyo was here freaking out. He couldn't think or imagine what his friend was going through at the moment. No he could, he thought about how he would freak out if Tomoyo was kidnap then he added their two unborn children to the sum, and he felt his eyes water. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* * He sat in his office right by the phone; he didn't take notice of his parents or his friends present. He looked at the phone willing it to ring but nothing happened, he looked at the door when Ahmed walking in with the two same men. "Miss Chin is out of the country but we were able to get a hold of her, we found out some very interesting facts" he spoke looking directly at Syaoran.
"What's that?" he asked seeing the same look in Ahmed's eyes that he got when Kris had disappeared.
"We were informed that you were having an affair with Miss Chin months after you were married to your wife" Ahmed answered. "And yon and your wife never got a long that's why she took a liken to Atashi. Are these accusations true Mr. Li?"
"Don't answer anything Xiao Lang," Lian spoke getting up. "If we are thinking that my son is a suspect I'm afraid he won't answer any of your questions until we have spoken with our lawyer" he stated glaring at Ahmed.
"I don't think that, I was trying to make sure I was informed correctly but I think you are right to call your lawyer. After finding out this news your son is a suspect nonetheless" Ahmed stated making Mei Lin and the others gasp. "And I'm afraid that I'm going to have to place your son under arrest for the disappearance of his wife until farther notice"
"You've got to be out of your fucking mind" Mei Lin hollered standing. "My cousin didn't, he loved Sakura," she proclaimed for the world to know. "You can't do this"
"Mei Lin hush, I'll go. I haven't anything to hide" Syaoran cut in as he got up from where he was sitting. He know that this was going to happen, why wouldn't it. He had made a mistake months ago and it had come back to bite him in the ass.
"Thank you for understanding" Ahmed sighed softly. "Li Xiao Lang, you are under arrest for the disappearance of your wife Li Sakura. Anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to a lawyer if needed. Under the circumstances that you can't provide one, one will be provided for you" Ahmed explained as his man cuffed Syaoran. Yelen hid her face in her husband chest crying her tears.
"Xiao Lang don't worry, they've got nothing to hold you by" Max assured making Syaoran nod as they led him towards the door in handcuffs. *

Sakura looked at Syaoran's boyish expression brushing his hair from over his eyes. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there looking at his face. Things were counting down and soon in a couple of weeks they would be parents. That thought made her glow, and her friends would be arriving in a week's time. "I love you so," she whispered tracing a line under his chin and across his lips, a smile on her face.
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?" Syaoran asked making her move her hand back but he held it to his cheek feeling her soft skin.
"Yeah" she mused smiling when he opened his eyes. They were in his bed, she loved his bed it was so very soft and large. And she was even happier that he had never brought Gwen to it. It was funny how life threw things at you, and at first you hate it but then all turns out perfectly.
"How long have you been up?" he asked softly sitting up. He glanced at his clock and knew that he would have to go to work soon.
"Not long," she answered giving him a kiss on the lips making him return it with open adoration. "Go shower, I'm going to make breakfast for us" she whispered between kisses making him smile.
"Isn't the reason why we have a cook is so that you don't have to cook?" he asked making her flush looking down when Kero and Spinal jumped unto the bed.
"I want to" she replied softly making him sigh and agree. "Good, what do you want?"
"You" he chuckled seeing her turn red. Sakura slapped him on the arm shaking her head at him.
"You are horrible Li Xiao Lang" she spoke firmly then smiled not able to keep up her serious act. "Seriously"
"What makes you think I'm not being serious?" he asked raising one brow, Sakura didn't know what to say. She couldn't he believe him but she figured that this was the probably the longest he had ever been without a woman.
"Well just between you and me" she whispered mischievously moving closer to him. Syaoran waited to hear what she had to say, "I can't wait either" he grinned looking at her face.
"Good cause now I won't feel bad when I hold you down in a couple of months" he stated seriously making her hold back a horrified giggle. Shaking her head she gave him one last kiss before scooting out of the bed.
"I won't, now go and get ready" she chided walking to her room but Syaoran got a hold of her arm and pulled her back gently towards him. Sakura gasped when his mouth took hers in a lingering kiss making her feel weak in the knees. It was hard to believe that just his kisses did this to her, she wondered how lovemaking would affect her.
"Now I'll get ready," he whispered against her lips, Sakura looked into his eyes with a dreamy expression. Swallowing she nodded when he let her go, finding her coordination she gave him a fleeting kiss before walking to her room. Syaoran smiled watching her go before he got out of bed to get ready for work. "Work" he groaned inwardly.

* Gwen
*
*
*
*
* "We'll have to do this soon, she has less than a month left" Gwen spoke making her accomplices shake their head in agreement. "This should be a piece of cake, ne?"
"Of course, we've done this before" Atashi replied making her grin. Ken sat in the chair looking at Atashi. He knew that he hadn't a clue what Gwen had in store for his little friend.
"Right, so we'll snatch her in about a week or before then we'll take her to the camp. And finally get her out of Hong Kong" Gwen explained going over the plan leaving out the details cause she knew how things were to go.
"I'll get her" Atashi spoke softly. "It'll be a lot easier for me, and we have to get her before her friends get here" he spoke making them shake their heads in agreement. He got up from where he was sitting and looked out Gwen's window, 'you'll be mine soon Sakura' he thought smiling. *

Afternoon. *
*
*
*
*

"I'm glad that you guys are coming, I miss you badly. And you'll like Kanbi and Mei Lin they are really nice" Sakura said walking around her room with Tomoyo on the phone.
"I'm sure that they are, if you get along with them. There shouldn't be any reason why we won't" Tomoyo replied sighing a document for one of workers. She smiled at the guy who took it and walked out of her office. "So how you doing?"
"Great, I've been feeling a bit tired lately but other than that it's nothing" Sakura answered tossing Kero's play ball across her room making both of them run after it. She felt better being in her room when Syaoran wasn't home; she didn't know why that was.
"That's good, god I can't wait for all of us to be together again" Tomoyo exclaimed making Sakura giggle. "Think of all the things we'll have to catch up on. And the babies, oh the babies"
"Tomoyo calm down, breath" she teased making Tomoyo laugh resting back in her black leather chair. "Just wait until you have children, poor Eriol"
"Hey!" she defended ignoring the people who were passing by her office. "That's not a nice thing to say even though it's true" Sakura laughed shaking her head hopelessly. "Sakura, I'll have to call you back later. I have a photo shoot"
"Okay, it was great talking to you, Ja" Sakura sighed wondering what she was going to do now.
"Ja, and tell Xiao Lang hi for me too" Tomoyo sighed, smiling she hung up the phone and got up with her files. "Life is great" *
*
*
*
* Syaoran later. *
*
*
*
*
* "Can I open my eyes now?" Sakura asked softly as she walked with Syaoran's hands leading her down the steps so she didn't trip.
"Not yet" was his response making her sigh. Syaoran smiled at her face knowing that she wanted to open her eyes very much but he couldn't let her. People watched as they walked together and smiled shaking their heads at them.
"Please?" she begged cutely making him chuckle when they came to a stop, her white mother dress flapping in the cool wind. He turned her around but she didn't open her eyes because he hadn't told her to.
"Not yet" he whispered beside her ear as he reached into his pocket. Taking out the necklace he placed it around her neck and latched it.
"What is it?" she asked fingering the heart shaped object, she was dying from temptation just to see what it was.
"Okay you can open your eyes now, don't look down" he spoke making her slowly open her eyes only to see a really large white sail boat in front of her, the sails seemed to go up forever.
"Hoe!" she gasped, her hands covering her mouth as she looked at it in disbelief. She couldn't believe it, "Xiao Lang, it's ah oh wow," he laughed hearing her words.
"Look at the name" her eyes moved to it only to see her name.
"Sakura, Cherry Blossom. That's a funny name for a boat don't you think?" she teased turning to look at her husband. She couldn't believe he had actually bought her a boat, and such a large one.
"I don't think so, I think it's perfect" he replied touching her locket. Sakura looked at the second locket on her neck, it was heart shaped with a heart shaped emerald stone in the middle. 'My beloved Ying Fa' it read and she looked at him with misty eyes. "Why tears?"
"I can't help it. You are so incredibly wonderful Xiao Lang," she answered making him smile wiping them away. "I want to hug you tightly but unfortunately that's not possible yet" she admitted making him grin. "I don't know what to say"
"Say you like them" he opted holding her hands. Sakura looked down briefly then right into his intense ambers eyes knowing that he was the best husband in the entire world.
"Like? I love them, and I love you" Sakura stated passionately tiptoeing to give him a sweet kiss. He smiled in the kiss and placed the captains hat he had behind him on her head. Sakura giggled touching it, the things he came up with she wondered if he would always surprise her with such gifts.
"Captain, would you like a tour of you vessel?" he asked making her shake her head vigorously. "Unfortunately this won't be leaving the docks until the babies are at least a couple of months old" she shook her head in agreement as they walked aboard. *

Inside the Members lounge. *
*
*
*
*
* A man loaded the camera he had looking at the newest addition to his club as they headed towards him. "Who would have thought we would have Li Xiao Lang joining this club. I remember him, he hated sailing"
"I believe he bought the boat for his young wife. She supposedly loves sailing" a woman answered softly leaning against the counter. "So in love they are. I think it's funny that he dumps a Chin for a commoner. It shows you that romance novels aren't a load of crap" she sighed making her sister smile holding up her latest Novel.
"So tru so tru" she chanted turning the page making her sister smile.
"What are you reading now?" she inquired softly sitting on the chair. This was where their family made money, in the yachting business.
"I'm reading the novel Cherry, My Love," her sister answers brightly when Sakura and Syaoran walked into the room. The girls looked at the couple while their father got his camera ready.
"Li, I'm just about ready to take your member photo. I'm going to place you right beside your parents" their father stated in a happy tone. They knew why he was so happy; whenever someone like them joined they always had friends who did the same.
"Okay, Sakura is going to start taking her classes as soon as she's ready" Syaoran stated making him nod getting his camera ready.
"Okay I'm ready now, get beside each other anyway you like"
"Can we take it outside? The sun is going down," Sakura asked softly surprising him. He looked outside and saw that there was going to be a beautiful sunset, he agreed and they walked out leaving the girls alone.
"He is so hot" she whispered to her older sister making her laugh nodding fully agreement.
"I know, and she's beautiful too such a couple. I want something like that" she sighed dreamily making her sister laugh.
"Except you are ugly," she joked playing. "Ah' she exclaimed running off when her sister ran after her. "You are"
"I'm not" she defended laughing as well. *
*
*
*
*
*
*
* Yelen.. Next day *
*
*
*
*
*
* She walked into her husband's office only to see him staring out his office window. Walking over to him she saw that he was smiling, "What's go you so happy?" she smiled thinking how much he and Xiao Lang looked alike when they smiled. Lian held up a framed picture.
Taking it Yelen looked at Sakura and Syaoran, it was the picture from the yacht club. "It's beautiful, how come I didn't get one?" she smiled looking at the gorgeous sunset in the background and Sakura who had on a captain's hat.
"They have one, Xiao Lang went back to his office to get it for you. Do you know he bought her a sail boat?" Yelen shook her head she hadn't known that. "We weren't wrong at all forcing them together, it was a success"
"I know, now he'll be happy and so shall she. Is she home?" Yelen inquired making him shake his head as he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"No she's on her way over here, we're going out for lunch" he answered softly when Syaoran walked into the room smiling.
"Mother" he nods his head, Yelen smiled looking at her very handsome son. "I just got off the phone with Sakura. She's heading over but she has to make a stop first at somewhere" they shook their heads when he handed Yelen her picture.
"Wonderful" she beamed looking at it before she gently placed it on the desk. *
*
*
*
*
* Sakura. *
*
*
* "Thank you ma'am" the man smiled handing her the smile bag, Sakura took it putting down her shades.
"Nope thank you, so" she beamed a smile at him before heading towards the door. Looking both ways she walked towards the parking lot holding the small bag she had picked up for Xiao Lang. She knew he would love this gift, and it symbolized him so.
Stopping beside her car started to look for her keys, she was so deep in what she was doing that she didn't hear the van pulling up from behind. It stopped beside her and the sliding door opened, she looked up and a scream caught in her throat seeing how it was. "Hello you too Sakura" the man smiled evilly grabbing a hold of her. He ducked when Sakura swung the bag around and pressed a cloth to her nose and mouth. *
*
*
The man looked at his counter and saw that she had left her keys on the other counter. Picking it up he rushed out the door; he stopped dead in his tracks seeing her being attacked. "Hey what the hell" he yelled drawing other peoples attention to what was happening. He raced across the road when the white van pulled off; he looked at the license plate only to see that it was covered. "Somebody call the police," he shouted stopping in front of Sakura's car. Bending down he picked up the small bag, her purse glancing at her license plate only to see it say, "Li Ying Fa"
He got up and raced back to his jewelry store, the sound of sirens in the distance from the people who had called the police. *
*
*
*
*
*The kidnappers. *
*
*
* "Hey fuck drive carefully, you know what Gwen wants" Ken hissed glaring at Atashi who slowed down pulling to a stop at the red light. He smiled charmingly at the woman beside him making her wink.
"That I can do" he spoke pulling off again heading towards the docks where his sailboat was. This was going to go a lot better than the first time they had tried; he was going to get what he wanted now. Ken looked at Sakura's unconscious form lying on the blankets and smiled. She had gotten a lot more beautiful from the last time he had seen her. He could clearly remember the way he felt in side Sakuya when he took away her innocence and he was ready to try again.
"So ready" he grinned knowing that after Gwen got what she wanted he would have Sakura like she had promised him. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number waiting for it to be picked up. "Mission accomplished"
"Good boy, I'll be waiting for you at the cabin" Gwen laughed before hanging up. The Van pulled to a stop and Atashi got out and opened the door. Ken picked up Sakura's body and got out. Together they walked to the deserted, private docks towards his sailboat. *
*
*
*
* * Syaoran *
*
*
*
* he glanced at his watch when Sakura was more than fifteen minutes late. Getting up from where he was sitting he picked up his father's phone and dialed her number. "I've given her more than enough time to get here" he spoke listening to her phone ring, he started to get worried when she didn't answer.
"I'm sure it's only traffic" Yelen said softly when Lian's office door opened revealing his secretary who looked scared.
"Mr. Li, there's an officer Ahmed here to see you" she spoke making Syaoran's heart stop. He turned slowly to the door not knowing that Yelen had to be held up by Lian.
"Let him in" Lian stated making her nod. He looked at the young man when he walked into the office followed by two more policemen. "Can I help?" he asked softly wondering what they wanted.
Ahmed looked at Syaoran sadly looking at the plastic bag containing Sakura's belongings. "I'm sorry to inform but Mrs. Li has been kidnapped" Syaoran looked at him with a stony face. He was sure that man wasn't speaking Chinese; he had to have been speaking something else.
"Oh dear god" Yelen gasped when her legs gave out on her, Lian had to hold her up. "Surely you are joking" Ahmed looked down sadly and not to see the icy glare he was getting.
"I'm afraid not, I'm very sorry"
"Get out, is this some kind of sick joke?" Syaoran growled making them step back. Lian sat Yelen down in his chair and held Syaoran back. "No you are lying, Sakura is on her way here. Dammit No!"
"Xiao Lang" Lian said to his son making Syaoran look at him with a haunted expression.
"Father, this can't be true" he whispered making Ahmed take out a small clear zip lock bag.
"We think it might be a ransom, there was a letter left by her things" Ahmed explained nodding his man who placed Sakura's things on Lian's desk. "She was at the store picking up something she had ordered. Did you know that she was going to the store?"
"No, she said she was picking something up before she came here. We're all due for lunch" Yelen answered seeing the devastated look on Syaoran's face. "Xiao Lang was just about to call her," she was trying her best to be strong and not let her emotions get a hold of her.
"What's the price?" Syaoran asked feeling like he had died. He couldn't believe this was happening, it was like what had happened with Kris. But it was Sakura, his wife and she's pregnant.
"We haven't a clue, as yet" Ahmed sighed running his hand through his hair. "We have our people working on that now, we're looking for every suspicious white vans"
"Do you have any idea how many companies in Hong Kong use those kinds of vans?" Lian asked watching Syaoran walk over to the window and place his hand on it.
"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to pay whatever the cost to get Sakura back. Anything just to get her back" he stated in a firm tone. "Anything,"
"Right, is there anyone who doesn't like Sakura? Who might have a problem with her?" Ahmed asked, as his men got ready to write down anything he told them. Syaoran swallowed the lump in his throat when two names instantly popped up in his head.
"Yes" he turned to look at them. "There's Chin Gwen and Ashiwa Atashi though he didn't hate her, he wanted her" he explained coldly trying to think of anything else who would want Sakura out of the way but no one else came to mind. "I can't think of anyone else, everyone loved her"
"Thank you, we'll check this out right away" one of the men left the room taking out his cell phone. "Can we have a description of her? Anything, marks that will distinguish her, birth marks, scars?"
"Take this, it was just taken yesterday" Yelen spoke holding out the picture. Ahmed took it and looked her over noticing how beautiful she was, and how very pregnant.
"She has a small scar on the back of her thigh, there's nothing else" Syaoran answered making him nod writing it down. "How will we know when they are going to call?"
"We haven't a clue" he answered when Lian's secretary sounded on the phone.
"Mr. Li there's a phone call from a man for your son. He said that's its life and death"
"Put it through" Lian ordered, they quieted waiting to hear who the person was.
"Well, hello" a deep voice sounded making Yelen take deep breath. "I'm sure you know who I am. Listen carefully, I have the woman, she's still very much alive at least for now"
"What do you want?" Syaoran ordered making him laugh looking at Sakura who was gag, her eyes widen.
"A lot of money, I have yet to decide"
"How do we know Sakura is still alive?" Lian asked, Ahmed listen carefully wishing they had the line tapped.
"Proof" Ken nodded to Atashi who removed the gag.
"Xiao Lang, I know who they are-" she was cut off but they head all she said. He relaxes seeing that she was okay, and she had given them something.
"She's a bad one, I'll call you back at your home office with the conditions" with that said the phone went dead.
"She knows who they are" Ahmed spoke thoughtfully, looking at Syaoran he rose a brow.
"She's met a lot of people. We've attended many parties, I couldn't possibly name everyone there's too much. And she knows people I don't know" he growled angrily pushing his hands in his pocket.
"We could always go through at the lists of the parties and see who all attended. And there are always videos at these things" Lian helped out. Syaoran looked at his father gratefully, he still couldn't believe this was happening.
"That would be really helpful. We're going to try everything to get her back don't worry"
"How the hell can you say don't worry? She's almost due and with twins, what if they aren't careful?" Syaoran hissed he was in a real sour mood. If he found out that those bastards are, he would kill them with his bare hands. *
*
*
*
*
Sakura. *
*
*
* * She looked at the two men who had taken her and felt tears burn her eyes. "He was right, you aren't someone I should have gotten friendly with," she hissed looking at Atashi who ignored her.
"Shut up wench, and enjoy the ride. I heard you love sailing" Ken spat grabbing her face in a tight grip, he was large build man very muscular with jet black hair and endless black eyes, he also had a scar on his left jaw. "You should have shot to kill don't you think?" he laughed gruffly pushing her face away before he sat beside Atashi.
"What are you going to ask for?" Atashi asked meaning the money as he mapped out the course they would be taking. It had to be less hazardous and quick.
"A lot, I want to be set for life and this plan is full proof" Ken grinned taking a swig of his beer. He looked at Sakura and winked making her glare at him, "It's good that she's about to pop"
"Yeah Gwen planned this great. She's always been a great planner," Atashi answered making Sakura's eyes widen. She should have known that Gwen took Syaoran breaking up with her too easy. And now she was here, and was going to pay along with her boys.
"Why are you doing this?" she cried softly, her emotions taking over. Atashi looked at her and smiled.
"Because you belong to me, and not that bastard. He doesn't know how to treat a woman, I can treat you a lot better" He answered softly making her feel sick in the stomach.
"You think that I would ever want you after you've done this?" she yelled making him wince going to gag her. "It makes me hate you, how could you" she was cut off because he taped her mouth shut.
"You will, trust me you'll learn" he assured caressing her cheek lovingly but Sakura moved her face away blinking back tears. *
*
*
*
*
* Tomoyo. *
*
* *
"Oh god no" she cried sinking to the chair with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening; she must be living a dream. "Don't tell me that, don't you tell me that" she screamed making Eriol walk up to her.
"Tomoyo" he soothed making her fall in his arms. He hugged her as she tried her tears on his chest.
"Eriol, this isn't supposed to be happening. Not to her, to them" she wailed making him pick her up and sit on the sofa. He held her like a child; he looked just as devastated as Syaoran sounded. He hadn't even been able to finish the call because his voice gave out and cracked.
"I know, Syaoran is waiting for a phone call from the kidnappers. They've already started gathering money but they haven't a clue how much they are going to want" he whispered making her look at him with red eyes.
"I bet it's that bitch Gwen, she kidnapped Sakura. She did because she was jealous of Sakura, she was jealous," Tomoyo yelled pushing out of Eriol's arms standing up. She didn't make it far when she came to a halt and paled, "Oh my god" she gasp spinning around.
"What's the matter?" Eriol asked worried seeing her facial expression. Tomoyo looked at her husband and felt like she was going to be sick as fear consumed her soul.
"Ken, he got out a couple of months ago. He got out" Tomoyo yelled making Eriol share her expression. "Sakura told me she had been feeling him near her but she thought she was being paranoid. This is all my fault, I should have told Xiao Lang" she cried feeling immense guilt.
"No it's not" Eriol stated firmly holding her back the shoulders but he saw that Tomoyo wouldn't believe him.
"No it is, I should have told someone but I didn't. I didn't, Eriol if she dies it's my fault" Tomoyo choked going into shock.
"No Tomoyo" Eriol yelled shaking her, Tomoyo looked at him as a new set of tears started to stream down her face.
"Yes" she wailed wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yes, Eriol" he hugged her knowing that they would have to leave for Hong Kong right away. They would have to be there to give Syaoran support. He didn't even want to wonder what he was feeling right now if Tomoyo was here freaking out. He couldn't think or imagine what his friend was going through at the moment. No he could, he thought about how he would freak out if Tomoyo was kidnap then he added their two unborn children to the sum, and he felt his eyes water. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* * He sat in his office right by the phone; he didn't take notice of his parents or his friends present. He looked at the phone willing it to ring but nothing happened, he looked at the door when Ahmed walking in with the two same men. "Miss Chin is out of the country but we were able to get a hold of her, we found out some very interesting facts" he spoke looking directly at Syaoran.
"What's that?" he asked seeing the same look in Ahmed's eyes that he got when Kris had disappeared.
"We were informed that you were having an affair with Miss Chin months after you were married to your wife" Ahmed answered. "And yon and your wife never got a long that's why she took a liken to Atashi. Are these accusations true Mr. Li?"
"Don't answer anything Xiao Lang," Lian spoke getting up. "If we are thinking that my son is a suspect I'm afraid he won't answer any of your questions until we have spoken with our lawyer" he stated glaring at Ahmed.
"I don't think that, I was trying to make sure I was informed correctly but I think you are right to call your lawyer. After finding out this news your son is a suspect nonetheless" Ahmed stated making Mei Lin and the others gasp. "And I'm afraid that I'm going to have to place your son under arrest for the disappearance of his wife until farther notice"
"You've got to be out of your fucking mind" Mei Lin hollered standing. "My cousin didn't, he loved Sakura," she proclaimed for the world to know. "You can't do this"
"Mei Lin hush, I'll go. I haven't anything to hide" Syaoran cut in as he got up from where he was sitting. He know that this was going to happen, why wouldn't it. He had made a mistake months ago and it had come back to bite him in the ass.
"Thank you for understanding" Ahmed sighed softly. "Li Xiao Lang, you are under arrest for the disappearance of your wife Li Sakura. Anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to a lawyer if needed. Under the circumstances that you can't provide one, one will be provided for you" Ahmed explained as his man cuffed Syaoran. Yelen hid her face in her husband chest crying her tears.
"Xiao Lang don't worry, they've got nothing to hold you by" Max assured making Syaoran nod as they led him towards the door in handcuffs. *
