~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone looked outside. Sae's limo crashed the front gates of the driveway. Sakura looked on in horror as she saw most of the beautiful gardens, destroyed under the wheels. Meiling's eyes were filled with fire and anticipation to kick that dirty bitch's behind. (strange. it sounds sort of. sophisticated.) Kiley shook his head left to right. He knew that this would only be the beginning of Sae's rage.

Sae's car screeched onto the steps leading to the Li mansion. Sae got out of the car and stomped her way over to Yelan. Then, she slapped Yelan's cheek. A little blood trickled out of Yelan's lips.

"How could you NOT INVITE ME IN! I'M YOUR FUTURE DAUGHTER IN-LAW!!!!!!" Sae screamed, as she was just about to slap Yelan again when her hand was stopped by a hand with a strong grip.

"How dare you slap my mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran yelled at Sae's face. Sae was thinking at first that Syaoran would take her side and then she gave him a puppy-eye look.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it Syaoran sweetie." Sae said flickering her eyelashes. Kiley looked on disgusted, Meiling looked just about ready to murder her, Eriol just stood there waiting, Tomoyo squealed for the exciting footage that she was getting and Sakura looked on wondering what would happen next.

"One, a stranger can NEVER address me by my name. Two, NEVER call me sweetie. the only one who has the privilege of calling me that is Sakura. Three, NEVER LAY ANOTHER HAND ON MY MOTHER. and I don't care if murder is illegal or not." Syaoran said coldly. Sakura kneeled down next to the sitting Yelan. Sae glared at Sakura.

"This is all HER FAULT! Can't you see Syaoran? She's tricking you with her lies and she just wants you for your money. She doesn't want us to be happy."

"She doesn't want YOU to be happy! NEVER call me by my first name and that description of Sakura. haha. that sounds exactly like YOU!" Syaoran cut her off and screamed in her face. Sae couldn't believe. her ever so perfect plan was failing. She looked at all the faces in that area.

"YOU! You're the one behind ALL OF THIS!" Sae said pointing.

"Sadly to say, I can't take all the credit. Face it, you lost." Kiley said staring coldly at Sae. Sae looked at Kiley in disgust. Then she just smirked at him and then laughed in a cruel voice.

"Don't you worry. This isn't over yet! I'll be back for you Syaoran, and then, you'll be all mine and she will be just a mere memory of your past." Sae walked back into her limo and drove away.

Syaoran stood there and then feared for what Sae might do. Does that mean that she might kill her? Kill his cherry blossom? Syaoran felt scared. truly afraid for the first time in his life. He's never really ever felt anything like this. at all. Syaoran walked over to Sakura and held her in his arms. Sakura felt so warm and secure and tears trickled down Syaoran's face. Sakura kissed away his tears and then her lips met his.

"Don't worry Syaoran. Nothing will happen to me or you, or anyone here." Sakura whispered. Syaoran gave Sakura a weak smile.

"I'm still. not too."

"Shh. my little wolf. Nothing will happen. I promise. Pinky swear." Sakura said as her pinky and Syaoran's pinky intertwined in a promise. Sakura smiled and then yawned.

"Better get you to bed." Syaoran said as he carried her in his arms to her previous guest bedroom. Sakura snuggled into her head in his chest and then fell asleep.

Syaoran arrived to the third floor to see that his cherry blossom was already asleep. He put a smile on his face and laid her down on her bed. He tucked her in.

"Goodnight, my sweet little cherry blossom." Syaoran said as his lips brushed her forehead. Sakura half awake gave a smile.

"I'm not little ." Sakura said turning onto her side. Syaoran grinned and then started to walk out of the room. Then, he stopped and then walked back to and sat right by Sakura's bedside. He wouldn't let anything happen to Sakura. he swore on his life, nothing would happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yelan looked from the door to see her son still awake in Sakura's room. She slowly opened the door and entered. She smiled and sat next to Syaoran.

"Overprotective of your cherry blossom?" She said in a teasing voice.

"Hai. I won't let anything happen to her." Syaoran responded to his mother while stroking Sakura's hair.

"I look at her, and I see why you fell for her. And you got lucky to capture her heart." Yelan said.

"I know I am."

"Are you getting your old memories back yet?" Yelan asked wondering.

"All I know is that I didn't propose to Sae. And. something else." Syaoran said as he started to remember a scene from his past.

~Flashback~

"Why won't you go out with me? What is so wrong about me that you don't like me?" Sae asked in an innocent tone.

"I love someone else. Now go bother some other guy." Syaoran said.

"Get over her then. Am I bothering you? Well too bad, you're gonna have to get used to it." Sae said changing the tone in her voice.

"Listen to me and listen good. I don't want to see your filthy face again. I love someone else and I'm NOT going to get over her. You just go back to your office or something. GO AWAY NOW!" Syaoran yelled as he pushed her out of his office. Sae fell and was in a sitting position outside of Syaoran's office on the hallway carpet. She stood up and brushed away the dirt from her clothes.

'Just you wait Syaoran. You will see me, and then you will be my boyfriend.' Sae said as she walked away from Syaoran's office door.

~End Of Flashback~

"Well. that memory clears up some of the suspicions that I had about the fake engagement. Definitely no way that proposed to a person that I said that I told her that I didn't ever want to see her face again. Nope, definitely not. And. I told her that I had loved someone else." Syaoran said trying to recollect the memories of his office room.

It was a forest green colored room. It had a huge desk in the middle where he worked. On that desk was a computer, a light, a clock, a calendar, a stack of paper needed to be signed, and picture frames. Syaoran closed his eyes and tried to think hard about the pictures on that desk. Then he saw something that he was looking for (looking at the room in his mind). It was the same exact picture that he had in his room at home. He looked at more of the pictures. There were so many pictures of his family but mostly friends. or mostly Sakura. There were several shots taken of Sakura and Syaoran near the big cherry tree at the Tomoeda elementary school.

Syaoran smiled as he remembered the pictures on his desk. The pictures that were taken of his sweet Sakura. Now he knew for sure that he and Sakura were meant to be together. He knew that the person he loved at that time and always will love will be Sakura. Nothing or no one was going to separate them.

Yelan smiled as she saw that her son's memories were coming back to him. She knew that he discovered his past again and knew what to do in his life now.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. All I know is that, I can't let anything happen to Sakura. I can't. I won't." Syaoran said in a determined voice.

"Didn't I say that nothing would happen to any of us?" Sakura asked staring at Syaoran. She was still laying down in the bed and it looked like she just woke up.

"..... you did." Syaoran said.

"I'm glad to hear that you listen." Sakura said giggling.

"Hey! Did you think that I didn't!"

". sometimes. You're very stubborn sometimes. you know that?"

"I AM NOT!" Syaoran said in disbelief. Sakura and Yelan just burst into laughter.

"Maybe I am." Syaoran said realizing his behavior.

"Of course you are." Sakura responded.

"Go back to sleep." Syaoran said.

"No."

"Sleep!"

"NO!"

". fine. then. I'll . tickle you!!!!!" Syaoran said as he tickled Sakura's stomach.

"Fine. I'll go to sleep." Sakura managed to get out in between laughter.

"Goodnight!" Syaoran said as he tucked her in again.

"Goodnight." Sakura said as she fell back to sleep thinking about Syaoran.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you think Sae's gonna do?" Tomoyo asked her fiancée in curiosity.

"I don't know. She seems capable of anything." Eriol answered in a serious tone.

"Even. even. even." Tomoyo couldn't get those words out of her mouth but Eriol understood.

"Yes Tomoyo, even murder." Eriol said sadly. Tomoyo held her hand in front of her mouth in shock.

"It doesn't seem possible."

"If she were to kill anyone, it's definitely Sakura." Eriol told her. Tomoyo couldn't understand that concept. Someone going as far as killing her best friend? Sweet and kind Sakura? It didn't make sense!

"Will. magic be able to help her?" Tomoyo asked remembering the Sakura cards.

"Well. magic can't interfere with the modernized weaponry. Sorry sweetheart." Eriol said as he sadly gave her the news.

"THEN WHAT CAN WE DO?" Tomoyo yelled frustrated. The whole hallway heard and there was a knock on her door.

"Some of us are trying to SLEEP!" Meiling said in an annoyed tone.

"Yeah! And SOME of us want to have our personal pleasant dreams!" Kiley said. After hearing that sentence once more in her head, Meiling smacked Kiley on the head.

"PERVERT!"

"Well. while you work out your problems. ahem . we'll work out ours." Eriol said while shoving out Meiling and Kiley. Tomoyo sighed and lay down on the bed. What should she do? What can she do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syaoran went into his room while asking his mother to she could watch over Sakura. He sat down with his back on the side of his bed and looked under his bed. After clearing all the dust, Syaoran saw what looked like. a kit. As he brushed off all of the dust from the kit, he looked at it and smiled. It was a teddy bear making kit. He took it out and saw all of the materials needed. He took out the needle. and then realizing that he had absolutely no clue how to make a a teddy bear, went over and knocked on Tomoyo's door.

"Shut up and go away!"

"Eriol? What are you doing in Tomoyo's room?" Syaoran asked.

"Be quiet honey." Tomoyo said as she opened the door. "Anything you need Syaoran?"

"Um. yeah. could you come over to my room? I need help on something." Syaoran said while blushing.

"Ok. I'll be right back Eriol." Tomoyo said as she followed Syaoran into his room. Automatically, her eyes caught onto the teddy bear kit.

"KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

". Tomoyo. could you help me make the teddy bear?" Syaoran asked.

"Ohohoho. The great Syaoran Li can't make a teddy bear?!" Tomoyo said in a mocking tone.

". grr. no."

"I'm only kidding Syaoran. Here see. this is the needle. Now you have to put the thread through the hole."

After what seemed like forever, Syaoran was done. Tomoyo sat down and admired his accomplished.

"Well done! Very good job Syaoran! Are you sure this is the first teddy bear you've made? So. are you gonna give it to Sakura now?"

"Um. tomorrow morning."

"Why not now?!?!?!?" Tomoyo whined.

"I just don't want to wake her up." Syaoran said quietly.

"HOW SWEET!" Tomoyo squealed jumping up and down. When Tomoyo jumped for the third time, the little vibration hit the dresser and knocked out a small velvety box. Tomoyo's eyes widened as she screamed,

"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Tomoyo! SHHH!!!!!!!! Sakura's SLEEPING!" Syaoran said in a whispering tone. Tomoyo put her hand to her mouth and kept it there.

"Oh my GOD! You're gonna PROPOSE TO SAKURA!!!!!!!!!!"

".would you stop that. its scary."

"No! So when are you gonna propose? Are you gonna give it to her with the teddy bear? OMG! That would look absolutely KAWAII!!!!"

"TOMOYO DAIDOUJI!!!!!! BE QUIET!" Syaoran whispered loudly.

"Oh. right. sorry. I'll go out and tell Eriol now. Bye." Tomoyo said as she exited his room and went to go tell her fiancée.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syaoran entered the room and saw his sleeping cherry blossom. In one of his arms was the teddy bear and the teddy bear was holding a box. He sat down next to his sleeping mother and placed the bear on the side. He smiled as he looked at her and then looked at the clock. Already, it was 2 in the morning. Syaoran felt sleepy and then fell asleep with him leaning on the bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura awoke and felt that her left arm was warmer than the rest of her body. Then she looked and saw that her little wolf was there. She smiled and stroked his hair. She then brought her face down to his ear and whispered,

"Wake up my little wolf." Syaoran stirred, yawned and then blinked a couple of times. When he fully opened his eyes, he saw bright emerald eyes staring into his amber ones. He was startled and automatically sat up. Sakura giggled and then brought her lips onto his. Syaoran pulled Sakura in closer as their kiss became deeper.

"AHEM!" Sakura and Syaoran stopped to see Yelan looking at their two flushed faces.

".mother. um. I."

"I'll leave two alone." She said smiling as she walked out the door. Syaoran looked at Sakura and leaned closer to her but she stopped him and pointed to the teddy bear.

"That is SO KAWAII!!!!!!! Who's is it?" Sakura asked. She thought it might've been one of Syaoran's sisters' bear or something. Syaoran wrapped his arms around Sakura and pulled her closer to him. Then he whispered into her ear.

"Yours."

"Oh MY GOD!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!! It's SO KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura squealed as she took the bear and wrapped it in her arms.

"I'm gonna name it Syaoran. you don't mind do you?" Sakura asked.

"Not at all." Syaoran replied as he kissed her. Sakura blushed and then saw something else.

"Syaoran? What's this?" Sakura questioned as she looked at the little box. Syaoran smiled and took it from her hands.

"A token of my love for you." Syaoran started. Then he put one knee on the floor and opened the box.

"Sakura Kinomoto, you opened my heart to a whole new world and to you. You showed me what the true meaning of love is. Sakura, will you marry me?" Sakura gasped as she saw him on the floor, kneeling. The box, with an engagement ring in it. She was so overwhelmed. Ever since she was a little kid, she imagined this happening. As she grew older and met Syaoran, she dreamed that Syaoran would propose. Now, after all those years of dreaming, it became a reality.

"Yes Syaoran." Sakura said with tears of joy sliding down her cheeks. Syaoran smiled as he put the slipped the ring onto her finger. They kissed again and never wanted the moment to end at all. Of course. the moment ended. but not by squeals from Tomoyo, or Meiling's happy comments, but the screaming of the entire Li household. Syaoran and Sakura quickly parted from each other and quickly ran out of the room. There standing was Sae with a gun pointed at Tomoyo. Tomoyo struggled but Sae's grip was too strong for her. Eriol stood there in shock and tears flowing out of his eyes.

"Now. if you ever want to see your friend. ALIVE. You better get down here Sakura!" Sae screamed.
