* "Get over here dammit" Syaoran cursed in his phone running down the stairs. "Hurry, they have my sons," he shouted coming to a halt when he heard crying. He moved towards the hall only to see his son on the floor beside Wei's body. Bending he drop the phone and kicked him up. "Shhhh" he whispered holding unto his son. Hu stopped crying when he was picked up, Syaoran ran to the dancing room knowing that it would be the fastest place. Getting in he placed Hu in the swing, "Be a good boy for dad and don't cry" he placed a kiss on his son head turning the chair on. He placed the flashlight down to give him light.
Hu watched his father go, when Syaoran left the baby giggled moving his hand out to touch something.
Syaoran moved down the hall wondering where the hell his wife was. He came to a halt hearing gunfire and a scream. "No Sakura" he panicked moving towards the kitchen in fear that she has been hurt badly. *

*
* Sakura fell to the ground holding her arm; she whimpered pushing her self up against the cabinet. "Get a hold of your self, do this so Sakuya," she whispered to her self. She looked at the knives on the counter and got up taking out the biggest one before she took a seat behind the counter to hide. "I can do this," she whispered softly to her-self expecting Ken to walk through the door any minute.
Not hearing anything she got up and screamed seeing Ken standing right before her, he smiled moving towards her. She held unto the knife tightly and rimmed it in his side making him cry out. "Ah fuck" she pulled out looking at her bloody hands. "I swear I'm going to kill you"
"Get away from her" Syaoran shouted from behind, Sakura and Ken looked at him as he raised his gun. Ken's eyes widened in disbelief, Sakura fell to the ground when Syaoran started to fire emptying the gun on him. "It's about time you died mother fucker" he whispered lowering his gun.
"No" Ken got out softly dropping his gun to the floor. Sakura moved back pressing her self up against the wall when he fell to the ground him blood covering the tiles. Syaoran placed his gun down and moved towards her, seeing him she burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly, she shook her head thanking god that this was finally over. They looked at the door that led outside when it burst open and a girl stood there.
"Megumi?" Sakura whispered when the girl saw Ken body and started to cry.
"You killed him" she accused raising the gun clasped in her hand. Sakura screamed when she fired and Syaoran fell towards her in pain.
"No, no" Sakura cried moving her hands over his back when she felt blood. Megumi laughed through tears looking at her beloved Ken, she pointed her gun again ready to fire. Sakura closed her eyes waiting for her to press the trigger, she heard the gunfire numerous times but nothing happened. Opening her eyes closely she saw Megumi fall to the ground landing beside Ken's body.
"Are you two okay?" Ahmed appeared with two officers. He looked at the couple with worry bending down to them.
"No Xiao Lang's hurt" Sakura answered through tears having forgotten about her shot. The officers moved forward and got Syaoran's body off Sakura resting him down to find the shot wound when the medics came into the room.
"So are you" Ahmed noticed. Sakura looked down briefly before looking back at her husband who was coming to. He had knocked his head when he fell towards Sakura.
"Where are my boys?" she asked urgently getting up but a medic held her down. Sakura growled shooting daggers at the man. "Let me go dammit, they have my sons" she cursed ready to knock him out.
"Your sons are in good care, as well as everyone else," the man stated making her calm down. Sakura closed her eyes and let her tears fall, she looked at the body of the man who had made her life a living hell and after years she felt free.
"Tell me, is it over?" she cried sorrowfully. She opened her eyes that were filled with tears and wanted an answer badly. "Is it?" she looked at Ahmed who looked at Ken's body that was placed in a black bag.
"It is," he answered; she started to cry even harder when Syaoran sat up with help. Sakura looked at him knowing that now she was going to be able to live in peace without fear.
"Shhhh it's okay" Syaoran soothed using his good hand to wipe her tears away. Sakura wanted to hug him badly but she didn't know where he had gotten shot. She looked up when they brought in a stretcher no doubt for him.
"I know" she replied and gave him a soft kiss before moving out of the way. She looked down as they wrapped her arm before they would leave to the hospital. She followed behind, she wished he hadn't take the bullet for her. And she was glad that that girl's aim was off or he would have gotten killed. *

* Sakura sat in the chair beside the window as her sons slept in the day bed that had been brought from the house. She looked at Syaoran's form that was sleeping and smiles softly. "Thank you for the dreams Kris, Sakura" she smiles softly touching the glass. "Thank you"
"What are you thinking about?" she looked at the door when Mei Lin walked in with some food for Sakura.
"About the life I will now have" she answered softly getting up from where she was sitting. "What time is Yelen going to arrive?"
"She'll be here soon. Has he woken up since I left the last time?" Mei Lin asked placing the food down. Sakura looked at him and shook her head slowly, "He'll be up soon, the sedative will ware off soon" she assured.
"Yeah, I thought I had lost him last night" Sakura said softly, "He and the boys"
"You didn't, god is watching over ya'll trust me" Mei Lin replied with a soft smile on her face. Sakura shook her head knowing that god had bestowed them with faithful angels.
"I know" she smiled picking up the food she was brought. Mei Lin looked at Sakura and knew that all was going to be fine from now on. Ken was where he belonged along with Gwen and Atashi.
"Rose and Wei has packed up most of your things, they are going to started on the boys room. Did you talk to Xiao Lang about this?" Mei Lin asked when Syaoran started to come to. He heard the last part of what Mei Lin said but nothing else.
"I have to leave Mei Lin, it's the best thing" Sakura answered softly. He gasped wondering if she was thinking about leaving him.
"Ah fuck" he cursed getting their attention, they turned to look at him sitting up in his bed with an angry look in his face. Sakura stood up wondering what was wrong with him.
"Xiao Lang, don't move so fast" she gasped walking to him with worry. She couldn't believe he was get up so fast.
"Don't tell me what to do" he bit out sharply making her come to a halt, she and Mei Lin gasp in shock. He moved his legs over the side of the bed ignoring the pain. Sakura wondered why he was being so cold; "Dammit" he cursed turning to look at her.
"I can because you are going to hurt your self, get back in bed you big baka" Sakura scolded. Mei Lin winced knowing that they were going to have another argument.
"Why the hell are you leaving? Haven't I made it up to you enough?" he barked, they stared at him with a lost expression. "Because Ken is gone and you don't have any problems you are going to leave me?" Sakura looked at the hurt expression on his face as she tried not to burst. "I thought you cared about me?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" she yelled. He glared at her and she returned it when Lian and Yelen walked up to the door. They came to a halt looking at the two who were arguing.
"Me? It's you, you said you have to leave" he yelled back, Sakura clenched her fist and walked over to him looking flustered. She stopped in right in front him and Syaoran thought she was going to slap him when she raised her hand but she only poked him in the chest.
"One you should stop eavesdropping" she ordered in an angry tone. He looked at her wondering what the hell she was doing. "Two I'm not leaving you idiot why would I do that?" she asked as her voice lowered sounding like she was going to cry. Syaoran looked at everyone in the room only to see them glaring at him even the two nurses in the hallway. "And three, I'm sitting here worried to death and when you come to the first thing you do is yell and accuse me" she screamed the last part and everyone swore they were deaf. "Maybe I should leave you!"
"I heard you say you were going to leave," he replied keeping up with her.
"I was moving yours, mines and some of the boys things into your parents house because I don't want to go back to the house knowing what happened there last night. Don't you believe in my love?" Syaoran didn't know what to say, he felt like a total idiot exploding like that.
"I'm sorry, I heard the last part and it's the first thing that flew into my mind. Sakura's it's the day you said you were going to leave me don't you remember?" he asked. Sakura's mouth opened and she closed in disbelief. She looked at her watch and saw that it was the date they had gotten married on. "I'm sorry" he apologized again sincerely, Sakura's eyes burnt but she held back tears.
"I'm sorry, I had forgotten" she replied gently hugging him around the waist. He returned the hug, "Do you think I would leave you after all we've been through?" she asked softly. They didn't notice that everyone sighed seeing them make up, they didn't want it to explode into something more.
"Like I said you always surprise me but remember that I wouldn't let you leave me" he stated when she pulled back. She smiled softly knowing that she wouldn't want him to make her leave.
"Good" she gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Syaoran didn't like the look in her eyes when she pulled back from the kiss.
"Sakura?" he stepped back slowly but she followed suit.
"Are you out of your mind?" she hollered angrily looking at him. Syaoran and the others sweat drop wondering why she was having so much mood swings. "Get back in bed, you aren't supposed to be walking about baka" Syaoran looked his father who was smiling as he was sent back to his bed by his wife like a little boy. He glared at the man jokingly doing as he was told. "Good, are you hungry?" she asked in a sweat voice making everyone fall over. Syaoran refrained from doing so because of his health. Sakura got the food Mei Lin had brought her and walked over to her husband handing it to him. "Eat"
"Thank you" he smiled when his mother and father walked into the room and closed the door.
"I was going to ask how you were doing but I can' see that you are fine" Yelen smiled placing a kiss on his forehead. "I'm glad that this is finally over" she continued sitting in the chair Lian placed for her.
"We all are" Syaoran said smiling at his wife. Sakura retuned it sitting at the foot of his bed. "What's happening with the house?"
"I was thinking that we could sell it and buy or build a new one. I don't want to live there, if that's okay," She whispered softly looking down then at him.
"I wouldn't want to live there either. We can put it up for sale right now or have it torn down. The new house we'll design together" he smiled at her, Sakura returned it with a sigh. He would do anything for her, and he liked the idea of a new house one that was made for them.
"Thank you" she muttered, Syaoran winked at her and she beamed a smile at him when the boys woke up. Yelen and Lian got up to get them since they hadn't seen them in a while.
"I would show you your anniversary present but unfortunately I'm stuck in bed" Sakura got up from where was sitting and slowly walked over to him with a sincere smile on her face.
"I don't care, it is enough that I have my life back, and the life of my beloved husband and sons" she whispered caressing his cheek. "I could ask for no more, now eat love" he smiled when she kissed his forehead and stepped back. He knew she was right and he had all those to be grateful for but that didn't mean he wasn't going to shower her with gifts. *

*
*
*
* Three weeks later. *
*
*
*
* Syaoran moved behind his wife wrapping his arm around her waist. She smiled when he placed a soft kiss on her neck. "What's on your mind?" she asked watching the sunset. It was the first time since he had bought her the sailboat that she had gone out on it. And she loved it, it was the best feeling in the world and it was even better because he was teaching her.
"Oh nothing at all, can't I hug my wife and kiss her?" he replied nuzzling her neck. Sakura sighed in content telling him that it was more than okay with her she loved his caresses. His movements were still limited because of the shot wound he had gotten but he was quickly healing. "Do you know what tomorrow is?" he whispered against her neck.
"Yeah" she smiled softly. Tomorrow was their one-year anniversary, and she couldn't wait. It was something she was truly looking forwards to, she wanted to show Syaoran what her surprised was. "Who would have thought this would be the turn out" he chuckled lightly agreeing with her.
"It seemed as if we were going to kill each other" he sighed with a soft smile on his lips. The breeze blew against them when Sakura turned the boat heading towards the yacht club. "We could write a best selling book telling our tale," she laughed at his outrageous comment.
"Probably so" she mused, closing her eyes when he took hold of the wheel. She inhaled deeply the fresh cool sea air feeling free. "Are we still going out tonight?" she asked knowing that he had gotten them seats to a ballet.
"Yeah, it's something that I cannot help, I know you are going to love this" he whispered, and she could tell by the sound of his voice that she would probably remember this night forever. Turning in his arms she looked at him with love in her eyes. "It's a shame that it doesn't show tomorrow instead of tonight"
"It doesn't matter, I'll love it just as much" she smiled warmly wrapping her arms around his neck. "But not as much as I love you" grinning he gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.
"I would be hurt if that were the case" she laughed at his humor shaking her head. "How about you turn around madam and lead us back into port ay?"
"Ai, Ai captain" she giggled turning around; he took off the captain's hat and placed it on her head.
"Remember, easy" he soothed sending chills down her spine. Sakura shuddered from how close he was to her body, her husband always seemed to do this to her no matter what. He helped her maneuver in slowly, Sakura laughed when she came to a stop, she was so glad that she hadn't wrecked it on the first time out.
"Oh we should do this more often. I can't wait until the boys are old enough to go out with us" she beamed brightly thinking of all the possibilities. He laughed shaking his head at her, "What? I mean it"
"I know you do, do you think they are sleeping?" he asked looking at the top of the docks only to see Wei waiting for them. It wasn't hard leaving the boys alone because they were with their grandparents and would be safe. Yelen and Lian were probably more protective of them than they were.
"I hope not, we want them to be really tired so they'll sleep all through the night" Sakura replied when Syaoran walked around to make sure everything was in order. Sakura went inside to check that everything was cleaned and in order before she walked out and latched the door.
"Ready?" he asked holding out his hand for her, Sakura took it and together they walked over the boat. *
*
*
*
* Home. *
*
*
* They would live with his parents until they new home was finished, they had bought a property on the beach and now having a specially designed house built with everything that they would need. When they opened the door Kero and Spinal greeted them wagging their tails. "Hey boys" Sakura greeted playing with them. They barked showing that they were happy their masters were back, "Where's the boys?"
"Right here" Syaoran answered when Rui and Hu appeared in their walkers running towards them or at least trying to push them selves along. Sakura laughed at their enthusiasm walking towards them.
"How cute" she cooed giving them a kiss each, the boys giggled grabbing for her hair. Sakura smiled playing with them when Lian and Yelen walked out of the family room. "Were they good?"
"Wonderful" Yelen beamed with a bright smile, the look on Lian's face said otherwise. "Don't mind my husband, he doesn't think dealing with two Xiao Lang's was easy" she explained.
"Hey" Syaoran defended, they looked at his face and laughed. "I was a well behaved child" he complained like a little boy.
"You keep on believing that" Lian said to his son jokingly. Syaoran smile showing his fangs, Lian returned the same smile. Sakura and Yelen looked at each other and sweat drop seeing how very much they were alike.
"Sakura, my dear you are going to have your hands full" Yelen stated looking sadly at Sakura but she saw through the look only to see pure happiness.
"I'll have you and Lian to drop them off to before I run off for a week" Sakura replied. "By the way you talk it seems that I'll be taking a week every month" she continued with a comical expression.
"I should have done that" Yelen muttered looking at her son, her eyes twinkling with mirth. "Maybe I would had less attacks"
"Mother what a thing to say, I never gave you attacks. Stress yes, but never attacks" Syaoran said rather proudly picking Hu up. "It's okay to give your mother stress" he said to his son who smiled.
"Don't you tell him that, I swear any trouble and I'm sending them right to you" Sakura humph putting her hands on her tiny waists. "Besides mommy won't be able to keep up with two very strong boys" she winked at Rui picking him up.
"Excuse me master Li," a man said making Syaoran and Lian turn around raising their brows at the man. "Um Master Li Lian" he corrected but Syaoran didn't look away. "There is a call for you from ah Mr. Honda"
"Ah yes, Paul" Lian smiled pushing his hands into his pockets. "I'll be right back" he walked off to take the call leaving them in the hall. A moment later Wei walked into the room.
"Master Li there's a phone call for you from Mr. Hirragizawa" he said, Yelen and Sakura sweat drop shaking their heads. Syaoran chuckled at their faces knowing what they were thinking as he handed Rui to his mother.
"Ah Yes, Eriol" he smiled pushing his hands into his pockets. "I'll be right back" he winked at them walking away. Yelen and Sakura laughed at his imitation of his father.
"That's a Li man for you" Yelen stated when they were left in the hall alone. "So how was the sailing?" she inquired when she and Sakura started towards the porch. This house didn't have a studio so Sakura did her dancing on the porch or in the large ballroom.
"Wonderful, I absolutely loved it" Sakura replied breezily in a musical tone when they sat down. She looked at the large back yard and couldn't wait until she and Syaoran moved into their new home. "We should all go sometime when the boys are older"
"Certainly, Xiao Lang never really liked to go sailing with us because it took time away from his friends. He was a very ah well you know what he was" Yelen broke off, Sakura laughed softly. She knew very much what he was because she had experienced it and was glad it was over.
"Indeed"
"Do you have any idea where he's taking you tonight?" she inquired softly. She had a pretty good idea where he was taking her, and she knew that Sakura was never going to forget this night ever.
"To a show, that's the most I could get out of him" Sakura answered playing with her son. "I can't wait to have more," she laughed softly.
"Nor can we" Yelen replied making her flush. "And I know that Lian would love it even more if you were to have them in two" she giggled knowing that he would probably love it if she were to have them in twos.
"I should probably start getting ready, are you sure it's not a problem for you to watch the boys for me? I could always ask Rose and Wei-san or even Giles" she knew that they would love nothing more.
"It's not a problem" Yelen brushed aside looking at her watch. "I think it's time that you started to get ready"
"But it's so early" she whined, Yelen smiled getting up. She didn't know why they were all acting so weird. Even the staff was acting funny, and she was getting suspicious.
"Come now child, listen to me" Yelen said when Rose walked out the door. "Rose take Rui so his mommy can go upstairs" Rose did as she was told. Sakura gave her son up regrettably because she wanted to play with him more.
"Okay," she walked to the door. Rose and Yelen smiled at each other playing with the boys who were also in on the secret. *
*
*
Sakura walked up the stairs wondering why they had kicked her from the porch. Walking down the hall she came to a halt looking at the roses that went down the middle. "What's this?" she whispered following them as she picked up each. The last one she picked up was pointing at their room door.
Opening the door she saw some leading towards the bathroom. Resting the ones she had in her arms on the bed she picked them up as well following them into the bathroom. She gasped then laughed seeing the jet tub filled with bubbles that had rose petals on it. In fact that entire bathroom was covered with rose petals and sweet smelling scents. "Xiao Lang" she laughed seeing a note resting on her silk rob. She opened it and read slowly, "Only the best for my wife, wash away your worries" smiling she placed it down and did as it said. Closing the door she strapped down and slid into the warm water. "I love that man," she giggled closing her eyes. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* He hadn't been on the phone with Eriol; in fact he was getting ready. He buttoned his cuffs walking around the room opposite Sakura's. "Everything's going to be perfect," Lian assured watching his son. He smiled seeing the romantic side of him come forth.
"It has to be, this is going to what determines our future" he replied dressed in his black tux. Looking at the time on his gold watch he saw that he would have to leave soon. "Is everything in order?" he asked his father again Lian laughed shaking his head. "Sorry father"
"No worries, come now my driver is waiting for you" Lian said looking at his son panic. He could see that his son was really worried and this showed him that he was really in love with Sakura.
"Okay, she should out of the bath already" he knew his wife; she didn't like spending a lot time in the tub. She had been in there a while now since as he was dressed already.
"Right, go now" Lian ordered holding up his jacket. Syaoran took it smiling gratefully. "This is going to a tale to tell my grandchildren"
"Please don't" he begged his father heading for the door. He came to a halt and looked at his father. "Thank you" he said taking the black box, Lian laughed following his son out the door. *

Sakura. *
*
*
* Walked out of the bathroom wrapped in her rob, she felt alive and refreshed. She wondered where her husband was so she could kiss him. Coming to halt she looked at the rose pointing at the bed. She walked over to their bed only to see lingerie laid out. "Okay Syaoran, what are you playing at?" she whispered to herself picking the panty up. Putting them on, she looked at the roses pointed to the door connecting to Syaoran's room. It had once been his nursery but was changed when they moved in.
Walking over to the door she opened it only to see Rose waiting for her, she looked at a hang bag on the sofa. "What's going on?" she asked walking into the room.
"Nothing mistress" Rose answered when a woman and man walked into the room looking like stylists.
"Come now we must get your makeup and hair done" the man said ushering Sakura over to the dresser. She sat down and watched as all sort of make up and hairpins were laid down in front of her.
"He was right, you do you have amazing hair" the woman said brushing Sakura's hair out. She flushed trying not to smile when the guy started to do her make up. She was going to kill her husband when she saw him again. She sat there for almost an hour as they fixed her make up and hair. Finally they were finished and were definitely pleased with their work.
"Wonderful" the man beamed moving out the way, Sakura looked at her self in the mirror and wondered if she was seeing things. She looked beautiful; she hadn't thought she could ever look so good. "You'll make him drop dead with love" he winked at her packing up his things.
"Thank you" Sakura smiled when they walked to the door. She looked at Rose who was walking over to the bed. She opened the bag revealing a stylish silver dress that almost seemed to be white. Sakura gasped looking at the design, she knew that Tomoyo would have loved to see it. "Come now"
"I don't know what's going on," Sakura said looking around the room that was littered with rose petals as well. Rose helped her into the dress, she knew now that her under garments had been cut to suit the dress.
"Very romantic isn't he?" Rose smiled zipping Sakura's dress up. She walked over to the chair and pulled out two strapped heels. Sakura looked at the door when Rose helped her put on her shoes when Yelen walked through the door carrying small black boxes. Yelen looked at Sakura's glowing face, her long hair pulled off her face and held up by diamond hairpins.
"Aren't you enchanting? she laughed seeing Sakura's blushing face. "Come now, my son wants the best for you"
"He has given me all I've wanted' Sakura explained when Yelen opened the boxes and turned around with a dazzling diamond choker. Sakura gasp for like the thousand times in an hour, she was just getting surprise after surprise. Yelen latched the necklace then put on the earrings while Sakura pulled on her elbow length white gloves.
"He wants to give more, he wants to make up for your meeting and marriage" Sakura's heart swelled hearing that. She wanted him to know that he didn't need to make up for anything. "Come now, your driver awaits"
"Will I see the boys before I leave?"
"They are asleep" she sighed sadly shaking her head. "Don't worry, you'll have them always" she followed them down the stairs. Lian smiled holding his camera, Sakura smiled brightly when he started to take pictures of her.
"I'm going to have these blown up," he said brightly. Sakura laughed when the door opened and a slicked out Wei dressed in a black suit was waiting for her standing beside a classic jet-black car.
"Have a wonderful time' Yelen said softly. "Enjoy your self" she smiled shaking her head when Wei took her hand and helped her into the car. He closed the door walking like a young man to his side.
Yelen and Lian watched them leave; she smiled turning to look at her husband. She gasped when he pulled her into his arm, "Come my love, it's time that we got ready" she laughed softly shaking her head.
"I know my love" she replied giving him a soft kiss. Lain smiled charmingly at his wife winking at her. *

* Looking at the elegant building before her, she held out her hand so Wei could help her out. Standing up she let her dress drop, "follow the roses" he whispered winking at her. Sakura smiled walking towards the steps, holding her dress she started up. "Breath Sakura" she whispered noticing how all the workers present were looking at her like she was unusual.
Seeing the rose petals she walked on them heading into the back, she was surrounded by flowers of all kinds. The place smelt wonderful, and the seemed as if it were made out of the most expensive marble. Her breath caught when she came to a large patio. In the middle of what seemed like a tropical garden was a single table with only two chairs and lit candles. "What are you afraid of my love?" a voice said behind her.
Syaoran watched his wife turn around and he felt his heart stop. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Sakura smiled brightly looking at her handsome husband. "Dying from my love for you," she answered when he walked up to her.
"You've captured my heart without even knowing, and you make me want to follow you like a trained pup" he bent his head and kissed her softly on the lips. "Come let's eat" placing her hand on his offered one he led her towards the table. Sakura felt like she was in a fairy tale world. He pulled out her chair, winking at her he pushed hers in and out of nowhere a guy appeared and pulled his out.
Sakura watched as more appeared carrying plates, and champagne. The waiter showed them the chilled bottle, she almost jumped when he popped it and poured her a half glass then Syaoran. "Dinner shall be served shortly," he announced before all of them disappeared.
"How did you do all this?" she asked amazed. "It's amazing, and so unreal" he laughed softly hearing her tone.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked, Sakura shook her head not knowing how to mouth what she was feeling.
"I thought we were only going to a regular show, I would never have dreamed something like this. You, I can't even find the right words" he liked how she was speechless that was a good sign. Shaking his head he reached out for her gloved hand taking it in his. He looked at the simple diamond ring and knew it wouldn't be there any longer.
"Don't say anything at least not yet" she smiled shaking her head, he returned not able to keep his eyes off her. She was so magical, so incredibly unreal yet so perfect inside and out. She knew what life could be like, she was strong probably even stronger than he was. And he loved her for that along with many other things; he loved her strength, her will and determination. *
*
*
*
All through dinner Sakura was trying to digest all she was seeing. And she couldn't believe the imagination of her husband. Picking up her champagne she looked at him through the liquid. She knew that he had more; she could see by the way he was looking at her even their plates were cleared away. "What's on your mind sweet?" he asked charmingly.
"You, my love" she replied, he raised his brows and she smiled. "I can't get enough of you, you look so incredibly sexy" he grinned, and she laughed softly.
"I would hope so" she heard the joking tone and giggled. He pushed his chair finishing his champagne. "Come Cherry Blossom" he held his hand like a prince from a fairy tail. Again a waiter appeared out of nowhere and pulled her chair out, taking his hand he led her towards the steps that led into the garden.
"What else are you up?" she asked looking at a large stone building that was white and had five pillars holding the roof up.
"You'll see, there's something that I love about my wife" he said leading her up the steps. Sakura looked at the floor and could clearly see her reflection in it as they made their way to the middle.
"And what's that?" Sakura inquired when they came to a stop. He placed his hand on her waist getting ready for a waltz.
"It's her passion for dancing," he answered when an orchestra started up. Sakura hadn't even noticed the small orchestra on the other side. She felt her self float around the room when they started to dance together.
"Xiao Lang, when will it stop?" she laughed softly as they moved slowly to the music.
"Never" He chuckled knowing that all through their lives he would surprise her with something new and spectacular. He pulled her closer when the music died down. "This song represents the first time I fell in love with you" he said when the tango started to play.
She fell in love with him all over again; they executed sharp movements blending perfectly together. She gasped when he dipped her then slowly straightened. Their faces moved inches from the other, and she shivered feeling his breath against her lips momentarily.
They move and he spun her around in a swift motion, her leg moved up his as he bent her back. She smiled into his eyes knowing that no other man could compare to him. He was her partner, her other half and she knew that he completed her. Seeing her eyes grow misty he stopped looking at her worriedly. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I love you so much" she whispered, he smiled placing both hands on her cheeks. She thanked them for giving her waterproof mascara.
"Don't" he whispered inches from her lips. He brushed his lips against her drawing her breath into his mouth. Giving her a soft kiss he pulled back, and bent on one knee.
"Syaoran" she stuttered wondering what he was doing. He smiled into her eyes pulling out the small black box from his pocket. "Oh" she whispered feeling herself become extremely nervous.
"I know that from since the day I walked into your life it has been a trial. And I know that our first marriage shouldn't even be labeled one" he paused as if trying to find the right words. "But I want you to know that I love you, I love every thing that makes you Sakura. You've made me feel things I never thought existed, from the first time I danced with you I knew you were special" Sakura held back tears when he took her hand in his. She didn't know if she should laugh or cry but she felt like doing both. "You've given me a life and all that I've unconsciously asked for and slapped some sense into me. You are my angel, mother to my children and love of my life. I kneel here humbly before you, asking such a divine being, a goddess like you to be my wife" he grinned winking. "Again" he concluded.
"I could careless about how our first marriage became because you know what?" she got out softly finding her voice. "It bind us together, and along with the boys it made us stuck together. And yes, I would love nothing more than to be your wife" she laughed softly. "Again because you are my arrogant beast of a husband, and I want no other" he opened the small black box showing off a most extravagant engagement banned. Taking it out he slipped it unto her finger then placed a soft kiss on it.
"Thank you" he whispered, Sakura shook her head throwing her arms around his neck. "I love you Cherry Blossom"
"I love you my Wolf" she replied pulling back slightly. "So much" she kissed him softly on the lips then deeply telling him how much she loved him when the music started to play again. She laughed when he swung her around chuckling; she was the happiest woman on earth she knew. *

*
* Yelen. *
*
*
*
* She looked at her husband who glanced at his watch when they came to the large ballroom. She could see that he was nervous and it was once in a while that something like that happened. "Everything's going fine" she assured adjusting his tie like a wife.
"I know but they are five minutes late already" Lian replied shaking his head. "My son is never late for anything" He said rather proudly when the doors opened and a man walked in heading towards them.
"They have arrived" he announced, Lian and Yelen smiled knowing that all had gone right. She laughed giving her husband a kiss on the cheek, he smiled taking her hand to his mouth and placing a soft kiss on it.
"I love you" he whispered to his wife. *
*
*
Outside. *
*
* * Sakura looked at the large building in front of her, "Wow this isn't the theatre we went to with Kanbi and Max," she observed thinking it was new.
"I know, I thought we would go to something a little different. It's a new one, just opened tonight I believe," he answered leading her up the stairs. Syaoran smiled looking at his wife, he wanted to give her the best wedding.
Two clerks dressed identically opened the doors, Sakura smiled brightly at them. "It's empty" she observed wondering where all the other people. "Syaoran?" she looked at his smiling face wondering what he was up to now.
"I thought it was only right or do you want people?" he asked coming to halt at a large gold door. Sakura giggled shaking her head, she didn't mind that it was empty.
"Not at all" she replied when the doors opened to a dark room, she looked in. He led her in, and Sakura stayed close to him not liking darkness.
"Happy Anniversary" everyone cheered when the lights were turned on. Sakura gasped in shock looking at all her friends.
"Oh my god" she exclaimed her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. She was looking at all her friends in utter shock. "Syaoran!" she looked at her husband then her friends.
"Sakura!" all the girls screamed racing towards her. Everyone in the room winced but the guys laughed watching them go crazy with each other. Sakura wanted nothing but to hug all her friends then her husband and shower him with kisses. He was the most amazing person there was.
"You look amazing" Rika said spinning Sakura around. "Oh our baby is grown up" they laughed at how she sounded all thinking the same.
"Sexy" Chiharu teased, Tomoyo agreed circling them with the camera. "Tomoyo the dress is simply amazing. You have created a masterpiece" Sakura gasped looking at her friends.
"No" she held back a horrified giggle looking at her friends then all the family in the room.
"Yes" they replied together. Sakura laughed shaking her head, they had all planned it. They were the best there was she felt her eyes burn.
"Oh don't cry Kaijuu we don't want you getting uglier than you already are" she spun around coming face to face with her cousin.
"Touya, Sakura no Kaijuu" she replied too happy to sound mad as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. Syaoran stood on the side watching the site with his father, Paul and the guys who were grinning like crazy.
"You won't believe but Tomoyo got every detail of the dinner, you all nervous and Sakura getting ready on video" Syaoran almost choked looking at them in shocked. When they smiled showing fangs he knew that they had watched him and saw how nervous he was.
"Shit" he cursed, they shouted with laughter looking at his grumpy face. Mika patted him on the back giving a look of sympathy. Syaoran growled in response making his father and friends laugh.
"Four down three to go" Lian looked at Alex, Mika and Jamie who were still single.
"Actually two to go" Jamie corrected surprising them he grinned shaking his head. He looked at his fiancée when she looked at him and winked. "Last night" he answered softly.
"Well done, now it's only Mika and I" Alex said dryly running his hand through his hair. He looked at Rika and smiled though. "I have a feeling it's going to be zero soon. When you find something amazing you can't keep away" he looked at Rika's laughing face through the champagne glass.
"Ahem to that" all of them said clinging glasses together. The group or clubhouse of players had been reduced to two that would soon be reduced to zero. Syaoran smiled lovingly at his wife's magical form as she talks animated to her uncle who was laughing at whatever she was saying.
He saw when Sakura looked at him before walking off towards the balcony. "Excuse Me," he said walking off.
"Yeah" they said talking about business as usual. He walked through their guest following her slowly. He walked through the red curtains only to see her gazing at the sky.
"Are you enjoying your self?" he asked standing beside her. Sakura turned with a smile on her face; he felt his breath caught looking at her glowing face.
"What do you think?" she replied turning to him fully. She looked over his face slowly; she reached up and touched his cheek tenderly. "I've never felt more special in my entire life" she whispered sincerely.
"Nor have I having you in my life" he replied bending his head. He stopped and grinned wolfishly. "What do you think about this place?" Sakura wondered why he would ask her such a question before a kiss.
"It's amazing," she answered wanting him to kiss her.
"Good, cause it's yours" before she could get anything out of her mouth he kissed her deeply cutting her off. She smiled in the kiss wrapping arms around his neck pulling him to her. She moaned sensually when his tongue moved against hers..
They were so caught up in each other that they didn't see the camera lurking behind the curtains. *

* "Get over here dammit" Syaoran cursed in his phone running down the stairs. "Hurry, they have my sons," he shouted coming to a halt when he heard crying. He moved towards the hall only to see his son on the floor beside Wei's body. Bending he drop the phone and kicked him up. "Shhhh" he whispered holding unto his son. Hu stopped crying when he was picked up, Syaoran ran to the dancing room knowing that it would be the fastest place. Getting in he placed Hu in the swing, "Be a good boy for dad and don't cry" he placed a kiss on his son head turning the chair on. He placed the flashlight down to give him light.
Hu watched his father go, when Syaoran left the baby giggled moving his hand out to touch something.
Syaoran moved down the hall wondering where the hell his wife was. He came to a halt hearing gunfire and a scream. "No Sakura" he panicked moving towards the kitchen in fear that she has been hurt badly. *
*
*
*
*
* Sakura fell to the ground holding her arm; she whimpered pushing her self up against the cabinet. "Get a hold of your self, do this so Sakuya," she whispered to her self. She looked at the knives on the counter and got up taking out the biggest one before she took a seat behind the counter to hide. "I can do this," she whispered softly to her-self expecting Ken to walk through the door any minute.
Not hearing anything she got up and screamed seeing Ken standing right before her, he smiled moving towards her. She held unto the knife tightly and rimmed it in his side making him cry out. "Ah fuck" she pulled out looking at her bloody hands. "I swear I'm going to kill you"
"Get away from her" Syaoran shouted from behind, Sakura and Ken looked at him as he raised his gun. Ken's eyes widened in disbelief, Sakura fell to the ground when Syaoran started to fire emptying the gun on him. "It's about time you died mother fucker" he whispered lowering his gun.
"No" Ken got out softly dropping his gun to the floor. Sakura moved back pressing her self up against the wall when he fell to the ground him blood covering the tiles. Syaoran placed his gun down and moved towards her, seeing him she burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly, she shook her head thanking god that this was finally over. They looked at the door that led outside when it burst open and a girl stood there.
"Megumi?" Sakura whispered when the girl saw Ken body and started to cry.
"You killed him" she accused raising the gun clasped in her hand. Sakura screamed when she fired and Syaoran fell towards her in pain.
"No, no" Sakura cried moving her hands over his back when she felt blood. Megumi laughed through tears looking at her beloved Ken, she pointed her gun again ready to fire. Sakura closed her eyes waiting for her to press the trigger, she heard the gunfire numerous times but nothing happened. Opening her eyes closely she saw Megumi fall to the ground landing beside Ken's body.
"Are you two okay?" Ahmed appeared with two officers. He looked at the couple with worry bending down to them.
"No Xiao Lang's hurt" Sakura answered through tears having forgotten about her shot. The officers moved forward and got Syaoran's body off Sakura resting him down to find the shot wound when the medics came into the room.
"So are you" Ahmed noticed. Sakura looked down briefly before looking back at her husband who was coming to. He had knocked his head when he fell towards Sakura.
"Where are my boys?" she asked urgently getting up but a medic held her down. Sakura growled shooting daggers at the man. "Let me go dammit, they have my sons" she cursed ready to knock him out.
"Your sons are in good care, as well as everyone else," the man stated making her calm down. Sakura closed her eyes and let her tears fall, she looked at the body of the man who had made her life a living hell and after years she felt free.
"Tell me, is it over?" she cried sorrowfully. She opened her eyes that were filled with tears and wanted an answer badly. "Is it?" she looked at Ahmed who looked at Ken's body that was placed in a black bag.
"It is," he answered; she started to cry even harder when Syaoran sat up with help. Sakura looked at him knowing that now she was going to be able to live in peace without fear.
"Shhhh it's okay" Syaoran soothed using his good hand to wipe her tears away. Sakura wanted to hug him badly but she didn't know where he had gotten shot. She looked up when they brought in a stretcher no doubt for him.
"I know" she replied and gave him a soft kiss before moving out of the way. She looked down as they wrapped her arm before they would leave to the hospital. She followed behind, she wished he hadn't take the bullet for her. And she was glad that that girl's aim was off or he would have gotten killed. *

Later. *

*
*
*
* Sakura sat in the chair beside the window as her sons slept in the day bed that had been brought from the house. She looked at Syaoran's form that was sleeping and smiles softly. "Thank you for the dreams Kris, Sakura" she smiles softly touching the glass. "Thank you"
"What are you thinking about?" she looked at the door when Mei Lin walked in with some food for Sakura.
"About the life I will now have" she answered softly getting up from where she was sitting. "What time is Yelen going to arrive?"
"She'll be here soon. Has he woken up since I left the last time?" Mei Lin asked placing the food down. Sakura looked at him and shook her head slowly, "He'll be up soon, the sedative will ware off soon" she assured.
"Yeah, I thought I had lost him last night" Sakura said softly, "He and the boys"
"You didn't, god is watching over ya'll trust me" Mei Lin replied with a soft smile on her face. Sakura shook her head knowing that god had bestowed them with faithful angels.
"I know" she smiled picking up the food she was brought. Mei Lin looked at Sakura and knew that all was going to be fine from now on. Ken was where he belonged along with Gwen and Atashi.
"Rose and Wei has packed up most of your things, they are going to started on the boys room. Did you talk to Xiao Lang about this?" Mei Lin asked when Syaoran started to come to. He heard the last part of what Mei Lin said but nothing else.
"I have to leave Mei Lin, it's the best thing" Sakura answered softly. He gasped wondering if she was thinking about leaving him.
"Ah fuck" he cursed getting their attention, they turned to look at him sitting up in his bed with an angry look in his face. Sakura stood up wondering what was wrong with him.
"Xiao Lang, don't move so fast" she gasped walking to him with worry. She couldn't believe he was get up so fast.
"Don't tell me what to do" he bit out sharply making her come to a halt, she and Mei Lin gasp in shock. He moved his legs over the side of the bed ignoring the pain. Sakura wondered why he was being so cold; "Dammit" he cursed turning to look at her.
"I can because you are going to hurt your self, get back in bed you big baka" Sakura scolded. Mei Lin winced knowing that they were going to have another argument.
"Why the hell are you leaving? Haven't I made it up to you enough?" he barked, they stared at him with a lost expression. "Because Ken is gone and you don't have any problems you are going to leave me?" Sakura looked at the hurt expression on his face as she tried not to burst. "I thought you cared about me?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" she yelled. He glared at her and she returned it when Lian and Yelen walked up to the door. They came to a halt looking at the two who were arguing.
"Me? It's you, you said you have to leave" he yelled back, Sakura clenched her fist and walked over to him looking flustered. She stopped in right in front him and Syaoran thought she was going to slap him when she raised her hand but she only poked him in the chest.
"One you should stop eavesdropping" she ordered in an angry tone. He looked at her wondering what the hell she was doing. "Two I'm not leaving you idiot why would I do that?" she asked as her voice lowered sounding like she was going to cry. Syaoran looked at everyone in the room only to see them glaring at him even the two nurses in the hallway. "And three, I'm sitting here worried to death and when you come to the first thing you do is yell and accuse me" she screamed the last part and everyone swore they were deaf. "Maybe I should leave you!"
"I heard you say you were going to leave," he replied keeping up with her.
"I was moving yours, mines and some of the boys things into your parents house because I don't want to go back to the house knowing what happened there last night. Don't you believe in my love?" Syaoran didn't know what to say, he felt like a total idiot exploding like that.
"I'm sorry, I heard the last part and it's the first thing that flew into my mind. Sakura's it's the day you said you were going to leave me don't you remember?" he asked. Sakura's mouth opened and she closed in disbelief. She looked at her watch and saw that it was the date they had gotten married on. "I'm sorry" he apologized again sincerely, Sakura's eyes burnt but she held back tears.
"I'm sorry, I had forgotten" she replied gently hugging him around the waist. He returned the hug, "Do you think I would leave you after all we've been through?" she asked softly. They didn't notice that everyone sighed seeing them make up, they didn't want it to explode into something more.
"Like I said you always surprise me but remember that I wouldn't let you leave me" he stated when she pulled back. She smiled softly knowing that she wouldn't want him to make her leave.
"Good" she gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Syaoran didn't like the look in her eyes when she pulled back from the kiss.
"Sakura?" he stepped back slowly but she followed suit.
"Are you out of your mind?" she hollered angrily looking at him. Syaoran and the others sweat drop wondering why she was having so much mood swings. "Get back in bed, you aren't supposed to be walking about baka" Syaoran looked his father who was smiling as he was sent back to his bed by his wife like a little boy. He glared at the man jokingly doing as he was told. "Good, are you hungry?" she asked in a sweat voice making everyone fall over. Syaoran refrained from doing so because of his health. Sakura got the food Mei Lin had brought her and walked over to her husband handing it to him. "Eat"
"Thank you" he smiled when his mother and father walked into the room and closed the door.
"I was going to ask how you were doing but I can' see that you are fine" Yelen smiled placing a kiss on his forehead. "I'm glad that this is finally over" she continued sitting in the chair Lian placed for her.
"We all are" Syaoran said smiling at his wife. Sakura retuned it sitting at the foot of his bed. "What's happening with the house?"
"I was thinking that we could sell it and buy or build a new one. I don't want to live there, if that's okay," She whispered softly looking down then at him.
"I wouldn't want to live there either. We can put it up for sale right now or have it torn down. The new house we'll design together" he smiled at her, Sakura returned it with a sigh. He would do anything for her, and he liked the idea of a new house one that was made for them.
"Thank you" she muttered, Syaoran winked at her and she beamed a smile at him when the boys woke up. Yelen and Lian got up to get them since they hadn't seen them in a while.
"I would show you your anniversary present but unfortunately I'm stuck in bed" Sakura got up from where was sitting and slowly walked over to him with a sincere smile on her face.
"I don't care, it is enough that I have my life back, and the life of my beloved husband and sons" she whispered caressing his cheek. "I could ask for no more, now eat love" he smiled when she kissed his forehead and stepped back. He knew she was right and he had all those to be grateful for but that didn't mean he wasn't going to shower her with gifts. *
*
*
*
*
* Three weeks later. *
*
*
*
* Syaoran moved behind his wife wrapping his arm around her waist. She smiled when he placed a soft kiss on her neck. "What's on your mind?" she asked watching the sunset. It was the first time since he had bought her the sailboat that she had gone out on it. And she loved it, it was the best feeling in the world and it was even better because he was teaching her.
"Oh nothing at all, can't I hug my wife and kiss her?" he replied nuzzling her neck. Sakura sighed in content telling him that it was more than okay with her she loved his caresses. His movements were still limited because of the shot wound he had gotten but he was quickly healing. "Do you know what tomorrow is?" he whispered against her neck.
"Yeah" she smiled softly. Tomorrow was their one-year anniversary, and she couldn't wait. It was something she was truly looking forwards to, she wanted to show Syaoran what her surprised was. "Who would have thought this would be the turn out" he chuckled lightly agreeing with her.
"It seemed as if we were going to kill each other" he sighed with a soft smile on his lips. The breeze blew against them when Sakura turned the boat heading towards the yacht club. "We could write a best selling book telling our tale," she laughed at his outrageous comment.
"Probably so" she mused, closing her eyes when he took hold of the wheel. She inhaled deeply the fresh cool sea air feeling free. "Are we still going out tonight?" she asked knowing that he had gotten them seats to a ballet.
"Yeah, it's something that I cannot help, I know you are going to love this" he whispered, and she could tell by the sound of his voice that she would probably remember this night forever. Turning in his arms she looked at him with love in her eyes. "It's a shame that it doesn't show tomorrow instead of tonight"
"It doesn't matter, I'll love it just as much" she smiled warmly wrapping her arms around his neck. "But not as much as I love you" grinning he gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.
"I would be hurt if that were the case" she laughed at his humor shaking her head. "How about you turn around madam and lead us back into port ay?"
"Ai, Ai captain" she giggled turning around; he took off the captain's hat and placed it on her head.
"Remember, easy" he soothed sending chills down her spine. Sakura shuddered from how close he was to her body, her husband always seemed to do this to her no matter what. He helped her maneuver in slowly, Sakura laughed when she came to a stop, she was so glad that she hadn't wrecked it on the first time out.
"Oh we should do this more often. I can't wait until the boys are old enough to go out with us" she beamed brightly thinking of all the possibilities. He laughed shaking his head at her, "What? I mean it"
"I know you do, do you think they are sleeping?" he asked looking at the top of the docks only to see Wei waiting for them. It wasn't hard leaving the boys alone because they were with their grandparents and would be safe. Yelen and Lian were probably more protective of them than they were.
"I hope not, we want them to be really tired so they'll sleep all through the night" Sakura replied when Syaoran walked around to make sure everything was in order. Sakura went inside to check that everything was cleaned and in order before she walked out and latched the door.
"Ready?" he asked holding out his hand for her, Sakura took it and together they walked over the boat. *
*
*
*
* Home. *
*
*
* They would live with his parents until they new home was finished, they had bought a property on the beach and now having a specially designed house built with everything that they would need. When they opened the door Kero and Spinal greeted them wagging their tails. "Hey boys" Sakura greeted playing with them. They barked showing that they were happy their masters were back, "Where's the boys?"
"Right here" Syaoran answered when Rui and Hu appeared in their walkers running towards them or at least trying to push them selves along. Sakura laughed at their enthusiasm walking towards them.
"How cute" she cooed giving them a kiss each, the boys giggled grabbing for her hair. Sakura smiled playing with them when Lian and Yelen walked out of the family room. "Were they good?"
"Wonderful" Yelen beamed with a bright smile, the look on Lian's face said otherwise. "Don't mind my husband, he doesn't think dealing with two Xiao Lang's was easy" she explained.
"Hey" Syaoran defended, they looked at his face and laughed. "I was a well behaved child" he complained like a little boy.
"You keep on believing that" Lian said to his son jokingly. Syaoran smile showing his fangs, Lian returned the same smile. Sakura and Yelen looked at each other and sweat drop seeing how very much they were alike.
"Sakura, my dear you are going to have your hands full" Yelen stated looking sadly at Sakura but she saw through the look only to see pure happiness.
"I'll have you and Lian to drop them off to before I run off for a week" Sakura replied. "By the way you talk it seems that I'll be taking a week every month" she continued with a comical expression.
"I should have done that" Yelen muttered looking at her son, her eyes twinkling with mirth. "Maybe I would had less attacks"
"Mother what a thing to say, I never gave you attacks. Stress yes, but never attacks" Syaoran said rather proudly picking Hu up. "It's okay to give your mother stress" he said to his son who smiled.
"Don't you tell him that, I swear any trouble and I'm sending them right to you" Sakura humph putting her hands on her tiny waists. "Besides mommy won't be able to keep up with two very strong boys" she winked at Rui picking him up.
"Excuse me master Li," a man said making Syaoran and Lian turn around raising their brows at the man. "Um Master Li Lian" he corrected but Syaoran didn't look away. "There is a call for you from ah Mr. Honda"
"Ah yes, Paul" Lian smiled pushing his hands into his pockets. "I'll be right back" he walked off to take the call leaving them in the hall. A moment later Wei walked into the room.
"Master Li there's a phone call for you from Mr. Hirragizawa" he said, Yelen and Sakura sweat drop shaking their heads. Syaoran chuckled at their faces knowing what they were thinking as he handed Rui to his mother.
"Ah Yes, Eriol" he smiled pushing his hands into his pockets. "I'll be right back" he winked at them walking away. Yelen and Sakura laughed at his imitation of his father.
"That's a Li man for you" Yelen stated when they were left in the hall alone. "So how was the sailing?" she inquired when she and Sakura started towards the porch. This house didn't have a studio so Sakura did her dancing on the porch or in the large ballroom.
"Wonderful, I absolutely loved it" Sakura replied breezily in a musical tone when they sat down. She looked at the large back yard and couldn't wait until she and Syaoran moved into their new home. "We should all go sometime when the boys are older"
"Certainly, Xiao Lang never really liked to go sailing with us because it took time away from his friends. He was a very ah well you know what he was" Yelen broke off, Sakura laughed softly. She knew very much what he was because she had experienced it and was glad it was over.
"Indeed"
"Do you have any idea where he's taking you tonight?" she inquired softly. She had a pretty good idea where he was taking her, and she knew that Sakura was never going to forget this night ever.
"To a show, that's the most I could get out of him" Sakura answered playing with her son. "I can't wait to have more," she laughed softly.
"Nor can we" Yelen replied making her flush. "And I know that Lian would love it even more if you were to have them in two" she giggled knowing that he would probably love it if she were to have them in twos.
"I should probably start getting ready, are you sure it's not a problem for you to watch the boys for me? I could always ask Rose and Wei-san or even Giles" she knew that they would love nothing more.
"It's not a problem" Yelen brushed aside looking at her watch. "I think it's time that you started to get ready"
"But it's so early" she whined, Yelen smiled getting up. She didn't know why they were all acting so weird. Even the staff was acting funny, and she was getting suspicious.
"Come now child, listen to me" Yelen said when Rose walked out the door. "Rose take Rui so his mommy can go upstairs" Rose did as she was told. Sakura gave her son up regrettably because she wanted to play with him more.
"Okay," she walked to the door. Rose and Yelen smiled at each other playing with the boys who were also in on the secret. *
*
*
Sakura walked up the stairs wondering why they had kicked her from the porch. Walking down the hall she came to a halt looking at the roses that went down the middle. "What's this?" she whispered following them as she picked up each. The last one she picked up was pointing at their room door.
Opening the door she saw some leading towards the bathroom. Resting the ones she had in her arms on the bed she picked them up as well following them into the bathroom. She gasped then laughed seeing the jet tub filled with bubbles that had rose petals on it. In fact that entire bathroom was covered with rose petals and sweet smelling scents. "Xiao Lang" she laughed seeing a note resting on her silk rob. She opened it and read slowly, "Only the best for my wife, wash away your worries" smiling she placed it down and did as it said. Closing the door she strapped down and slid into the warm water. "I love that man," she giggled closing her eyes. *
*
*
*
*
* Syaoran. *
*
*
*
* He hadn't been on the phone with Eriol; in fact he was getting ready. He buttoned his cuffs walking around the room opposite Sakura's. "Everything's going to be perfect," Lian assured watching his son. He smiled seeing the romantic side of him come forth.
"It has to be, this is going to what determines our future" he replied dressed in his black tux. Looking at the time on his gold watch he saw that he would have to leave soon. "Is everything in order?" he asked his father again Lian laughed shaking his head. "Sorry father"
"No worries, come now my driver is waiting for you" Lian said looking at his son panic. He could see that his son was really worried and this showed him that he was really in love with Sakura.
"Okay, she should out of the bath already" he knew his wife; she didn't like spending a lot time in the tub. She had been in there a while now since as he was dressed already.
"Right, go now" Lian ordered holding up his jacket. Syaoran took it smiling gratefully. "This is going to a tale to tell my grandchildren"
"Please don't" he begged his father heading for the door. He came to a halt and looked at his father. "Thank you" he said taking the black box, Lian laughed following his son out the door. *
*
*
*
*
Sakura. *
*
*
* Walked out of the bathroom wrapped in her rob, she felt alive and refreshed. She wondered where her husband was so she could kiss him. Coming to halt she looked at the rose pointing at the bed. She walked over to their bed only to see lingerie laid out. "Okay Syaoran, what are you playing at?" she whispered to herself picking the panty up. Putting them on, she looked at the roses pointed to the door connecting to Syaoran's room. It had once been his nursery but was changed when they moved in.
Walking over to the door she opened it only to see Rose waiting for her, she looked at a hang bag on the sofa. "What's going on?" she asked walking into the room.
"Nothing mistress" Rose answered when a woman and man walked into the room looking like stylists.
"Come now we must get your makeup and hair done" the man said ushering Sakura over to the dresser. She sat down and watched as all sort of make up and hairpins were laid down in front of her.
"He was right, you do you have amazing hair" the woman said brushing Sakura's hair out. She flushed trying not to smile when the guy started to do her make up. She was going to kill her husband when she saw him again. She sat there for almost an hour as they fixed her make up and hair. Finally they were finished and were definitely pleased with their work.
"Wonderful" the man beamed moving out the way, Sakura looked at her self in the mirror and wondered if she was seeing things. She looked beautiful; she hadn't thought she could ever look so good. "You'll make him drop dead with love" he winked at her packing up his things.
"Thank you" Sakura smiled when they walked to the door. She looked at Rose who was walking over to the bed. She opened the bag revealing a stylish silver dress that almost seemed to be white. Sakura gasped looking at the design, she knew that Tomoyo would have loved to see it. "Come now"
"I don't know what's going on," Sakura said looking around the room that was littered with rose petals as well. Rose helped her into the dress, she knew now that her under garments had been cut to suit the dress.
"Very romantic isn't he?" Rose smiled zipping Sakura's dress up. She walked over to the chair and pulled out two strapped heels. Sakura looked at the door when Rose helped her put on her shoes when Yelen walked through the door carrying small black boxes. Yelen looked at Sakura's glowing face, her long hair pulled off her face and held up by diamond hairpins.
"Aren't you enchanting? she laughed seeing Sakura's blushing face. "Come now, my son wants the best for you"
"He has given me all I've wanted' Sakura explained when Yelen opened the boxes and turned around with a dazzling diamond choker. Sakura gasp for like the thousand times in an hour, she was just getting surprise after surprise. Yelen latched the necklace then put on the earrings while Sakura pulled on her elbow length white gloves.
"He wants to give more, he wants to make up for your meeting and marriage" Sakura's heart swelled hearing that. She wanted him to know that he didn't need to make up for anything. "Come now, your driver awaits"
"Will I see the boys before I leave?"
"They are asleep" she sighed sadly shaking her head. "Don't worry, you'll have them always" she followed them down the stairs. Lian smiled holding his camera, Sakura smiled brightly when he started to take pictures of her.
"I'm going to have these blown up," he said brightly. Sakura laughed when the door opened and a slicked out Wei dressed in a black suit was waiting for her standing beside a classic jet-black car.
"Have a wonderful time' Yelen said softly. "Enjoy your self" she smiled shaking her head when Wei took her hand and helped her into the car. He closed the door walking like a young man to his side.
Yelen and Lian watched them leave; she smiled turning to look at her husband. She gasped when he pulled her into his arm, "Come my love, it's time that we got ready" she laughed softly shaking her head.
"I know my love" she replied giving him a soft kiss. Lain smiled charmingly at his wife winking at her. *

* Looking at the elegant building before her, she held out her hand so Wei could help her out. Standing up she let her dress drop, "follow the roses" he whispered winking at her. Sakura smiled walking towards the steps, holding her dress she started up. "Breath Sakura" she whispered noticing how all the workers present were looking at her like she was unusual.
Seeing the rose petals she walked on them heading into the back, she was surrounded by flowers of all kinds. The place smelt wonderful, and the seemed as if it were made out of the most expensive marble. Her breath caught when she came to a large patio. In the middle of what seemed like a tropical garden was a single table with only two chairs and lit candles. "What are you afraid of my love?" a voice said behind her.
Syaoran watched his wife turn around and he felt his heart stop. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Sakura smiled brightly looking at her handsome husband. "Dying from my love for you," she answered when he walked up to her.
"You've captured my heart without even knowing, and you make me want to follow you like a trained pup" he bent his head and kissed her softly on the lips. "Come let's eat" placing her hand on his offered one he led her towards the table. Sakura felt like she was in a fairy tale world. He pulled out her chair, winking at her he pushed hers in and out of nowhere a guy appeared and pulled his out.
Sakura watched as more appeared carrying plates, and champagne. The waiter showed them the chilled bottle, she almost jumped when he popped it and poured her a half glass then Syaoran. "Dinner shall be served shortly," he announced before all of them disappeared.
"How did you do all this?" she asked amazed. "It's amazing, and so unreal" he laughed softly hearing her tone.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked, Sakura shook her head not knowing how to mouth what she was feeling.
"I thought we were only going to a regular show, I would never have dreamed something like this. You, I can't even find the right words" he liked how she was speechless that was a good sign. Shaking his head he reached out for her gloved hand taking it in his. He looked at the simple diamond ring and knew it wouldn't be there any longer.
"Don't say anything at least not yet" she smiled shaking her head, he returned not able to keep his eyes off her. She was so magical, so incredibly unreal yet so perfect inside and out. She knew what life could be like, she was strong probably even stronger than he was. And he loved her for that along with many other things; he loved her strength, her will and determination. *

All through dinner Sakura was trying to digest all she was seeing. And she couldn't believe the imagination of her husband. Picking up her champagne she looked at him through the liquid. She knew that he had more; she could see by the way he was looking at her even their plates were cleared away. "What's on your mind sweet?" he asked charmingly.
"You, my love" she replied, he raised his brows and she smiled. "I can't get enough of you, you look so incredibly sexy" he grinned, and she laughed softly.
"I would hope so" she heard the joking tone and giggled. He pushed his chair finishing his champagne. "Come Cherry Blossom" he held his hand like a prince from a fairy tail. Again a waiter appeared out of nowhere and pulled her chair out, taking his hand he led her towards the steps that led into the garden.
"What else are you up?" she asked looking at a large stone building that was white and had five pillars holding the roof up.
"You'll see, there's something that I love about my wife" he said leading her up the steps. Sakura looked at the floor and could clearly see her reflection in it as they made their way to the middle.
"And what's that?" Sakura inquired when they came to a stop. He placed his hand on her waist getting ready for a waltz.
"It's her passion for dancing," he answered when an orchestra started up. Sakura hadn't even noticed the small orchestra on the other side. She felt her self float around the room when they started to dance together.
"Xiao Lang, when will it stop?" she laughed softly as they moved slowly to the music.
"Never" He chuckled knowing that all through their lives he would surprise her with something new and spectacular. He pulled her closer when the music died down. "This song represents the first time I fell in love with you" he said when the tango started to play.
She fell in love with him all over again; they executed sharp movements blending perfectly together. She gasped when he dipped her then slowly straightened. Their faces moved inches from the other, and she shivered feeling his breath against her lips momentarily.
They move and he spun her around in a swift motion, her leg moved up his as he bent her back. She smiled into his eyes knowing that no other man could compare to him. He was her partner, her other half and she knew that he completed her. Seeing her eyes grow misty he stopped looking at her worriedly. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I love you so much" she whispered, he smiled placing both hands on her cheeks. She thanked them for giving her waterproof mascara.
"Don't" he whispered inches from her lips. He brushed his lips against her drawing her breath into his mouth. Giving her a soft kiss he pulled back, and bent on one knee.
"Syaoran" she stuttered wondering what he was doing. He smiled into her eyes pulling out the small black box from his pocket. "Oh" she whispered feeling herself become extremely nervous.
"I know that from since the day I walked into your life it has been a trial. And I know that our first marriage shouldn't even be labeled one" he paused as if trying to find the right words. "But I want you to know that I love you, I love every thing that makes you Sakura. You've made me feel things I never thought existed, from the first time I danced with you I knew you were special" Sakura held back tears when he took her hand in his. She didn't know if she should laugh or cry but she felt like doing both. "You've given me a life and all that I've unconsciously asked for and slapped some sense into me. You are my angel, mother to my children and love of my life. I kneel here humbly before you, asking such a divine being, a goddess like you to be my wife" he grinned winking. "Again" he concluded.
"I could careless about how our first marriage became because you know what?" she got out softly finding her voice. "It bind us together, and along with the boys it made us stuck together. And yes, I would love nothing more than to be your wife" she laughed softly. "Again because you are my arrogant beast of a husband, and I want no other" he opened the small black box showing off a most extravagant engagement banned. Taking it out he slipped it unto her finger then placed a soft kiss on it.
"Thank you" he whispered, Sakura shook her head throwing her arms around his neck. "I love you Cherry Blossom"
"I love you my Wolf" she replied pulling back slightly. "So much" she kissed him softly on the lips then deeply telling him how much she loved him when the music started to play again. She laughed when he swung her around chuckling; she was the happiest woman on earth she knew. *

* She looked at her husband who glanced at his watch when they came to the large ballroom. She could see that he was nervous and it was once in a while that something like that happened. "Everything's going fine" she assured adjusting his tie like a wife.
"I know but they are five minutes late already" Lian replied shaking his head. "My son is never late for anything" He said rather proudly when the doors opened and a man walked in heading towards them.
"They have arrived" he announced, Lian and Yelen smiled knowing that all had gone right. She laughed giving her husband a kiss on the cheek, he smiled taking her hand to his mouth and placing a soft kiss on it.
"I love you" he whispered to his wife. *

Outside. *
*
* * Sakura looked at the large building in front of her, "Wow this isn't the theatre we went to with Kanbi and Max," she observed thinking it was new.
"I know, I thought we would go to something a little different. It's a new one, just opened tonight I believe," he answered leading her up the stairs. Syaoran smiled looking at his wife, he wanted to give her the best wedding.
Two clerks dressed identically opened the doors, Sakura smiled brightly at them. "It's empty" she observed wondering where all the other people. "Syaoran?" she looked at his smiling face wondering what he was up to now.
"I thought it was only right or do you want people?" he asked coming to halt at a large gold door. Sakura giggled shaking her head, she didn't mind that it was empty.
"Not at all" she replied when the doors opened to a dark room, she looked in. He led her in, and Sakura stayed close to him not liking darkness.
"Happy Anniversary" everyone cheered when the lights were turned on. Sakura gasped in shock looking at all her friends.
"Oh my god" she exclaimed her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. She was looking at all her friends in utter shock. "Syaoran!" she looked at her husband then her friends.
"Sakura!" all the girls screamed racing towards her. Everyone in the room winced but the guys laughed watching them go crazy with each other. Sakura wanted nothing but to hug all her friends then her husband and shower him with kisses. He was the most amazing person there was.
"You look amazing" Rika said spinning Sakura around. "Oh our baby is grown up" they laughed at how she sounded all thinking the same.
"Sexy" Chiharu teased, Tomoyo agreed circling them with the camera. "Tomoyo the dress is simply amazing. You have created a masterpiece" Sakura gasped looking at her friends.
"No" she held back a horrified giggle looking at her friends then all the family in the room.
"Yes" they replied together. Sakura laughed shaking her head, they had all planned it. They were the best there was she felt her eyes burn.
"Oh don't cry Kaijuu we don't want you getting uglier than you already are" she spun around coming face to face with her cousin.
"Touya, Sakura no Kaijuu" she replied too happy to sound mad as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. Syaoran stood on the side watching the site with his father, Paul and the guys who were grinning like crazy.
"You won't believe but Tomoyo got every detail of the dinner, you all nervous and Sakura getting ready on video" Syaoran almost choked looking at them in shocked. When they smiled showing fangs he knew that they had watched him and saw how nervous he was.
"Shit" he cursed, they shouted with laughter looking at his grumpy face. Mika patted him on the back giving a look of sympathy. Syaoran growled in response making his father and friends laugh.
"Four down three to go" Lian looked at Alex, Mika and Jamie who were still single.
"Actually two to go" Jamie corrected surprising them he grinned shaking his head. He looked at his fiancée when she looked at him and winked. "Last night" he answered softly.
"Well done, now it's only Mika and I" Alex said dryly running his hand through his hair. He looked at Rika and smiled though. "I have a feeling it's going to be zero soon. When you find something amazing you can't keep away" he looked at Rika's laughing face through the champagne glass.
"Ahem to that" all of them said clinging glasses together. The group or clubhouse of players had been reduced to two that would soon be reduced to zero. Syaoran smiled lovingly at his wife's magical form as she talks animated to her uncle who was laughing at whatever she was saying.
He saw when Sakura looked at him before walking off towards the balcony. "Excuse Me," he said walking off.
"Yeah" they said talking about business as usual. He walked through their guest following her slowly. He walked through the red curtains only to see her gazing at the sky.
"Are you enjoying your self?" he asked standing beside her. Sakura turned with a smile on her face; he felt his breath caught looking at her glowing face.
"What do you think?" she replied turning to him fully. She looked over his face slowly; she reached up and touched his cheek tenderly. "I've never felt more special in my entire life" she whispered sincerely.
"Nor have I having you in my life" he replied bending his head. He stopped and grinned wolfishly. "What do you think about this place?" Sakura wondered why he would ask her such a question before a kiss.
"It's amazing," she answered wanting him to kiss her.
"Good, cause it's yours" before she could get anything out of her mouth he kissed her deeply cutting her off. She smiled in the kiss wrapping arms around his neck pulling him to her. She moaned sensually when his tongue moved against hers..
They were so caught up in each other that they didn't see the camera lurking behind the curtains. *
