Thank you for all ur reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARIGATO! ^^

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

Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. There, in front of her was Sae, with a pistol pointing at her best friend's head. Syaoran held onto Sakura's shoulders firmly. He wasn't gonna let anything happen to her, anything.

Tomoyo stood there, standing still and looking at her fiancée. His eyes were red from the tears that kept on streaming down his face. Tomoyo felt little saltwater droplets falling from her eyes. She couldn't look at Eriol like this. Sae felt one tear drop on her clothes and then kicked Tomoyo.

"What the HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU BITCH!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE OUTFIT YOU WHORE!!!!!!!" Sae spat on Tomoyo. Tomoyo slumped to the floor but Sae pulled her back up.

"You're gonna stand, NOT sit on the GROUND!"

"STOP THAT YOU SLUT!!!!!!!!" Eriol screamed as he ran up to Sae to slap her. Sae smirked and loaded the gun still pointing at Tomoyo. Eriol stopped dead in his tracks. There was nothing that he could do. Eriol lowered his hand.

"That's more like it. Now Sakura, come up here in the next 30 seconds or your friend pays the price!" Sae screamed waiting for Sakura to show up. Sakura couldn't let Tomoyo die. She wiggled her way out of Syaoran's grip and walked up towards Sae.

"Now let Tomoyo go! She has nothing to do with this." Sakura said as Sae pushed Tomoyo to the ground right in front of Eriol. Then Sae turned towards Sakura's direction and was now about 5 feet away from her. She lifted the pistol and pointed it at Sakura.

"Now this is the part, where. now what was it again. oh yeah! DIE!" Sae screamed as she fired the bullet. Sakura stood there paralyzed with fear and then felt a strong force push her down. Sakura looked up to see Syaoran on top of her.

"Syaoran." Sakura smiled as she quickly embraced him. She was so afraid but felt so confident when she was in Syaoran's arms. When she brought her hands back, her white sleeve had turned red.

"SYAORAN! Are you okay?" Sakura panicked. Syaoran just gave her a sweet smile.

"Of course I am. It just grazed my arm." Syaoran said placing his other hand above his wound. It hurt a lot more than he made it sound but he didn't want Sakura to know.

"Are you sure?" Sakura asked in a worried tone. Sae looked at the two and choked. Then she realized that Sakura was preoccupied that she wouldn't notice the bullet until it hit her. Sae smirked and then aimed the pistol. Syaoran noticed this and quickly pushed Sakura behind him.

"If you want to kill her, you have to kill me first." Syaoran stated in his cold and serious voice.

"Now Syaoran. You don't have to risk your life too. Let me just kill her." Sae replied still pointing the pistol at Sakura.

"Sakura is my life. You kill her and you killed me too." Syaoran said. Sae paused for a moment. Then she started to gag. This was WAY FAR more romantic than she had expected and certainly didn't like it.

"Since you'll still actually be here physically unless you commit suicide, I'll take my chances." Sae said as the bullet was fired.

Tomoyo looked on in horror as Eriol held her close. Meiling and Kiley who had just processed everything that had happened started to pray. Yelan was overcome by shock but alerted the authorities without Sae knowing. Sakura and Syaoran were in each other's arms but one didn't look so lively. Red liquid oozed out of Syaoran's body from a couple of different places.

"SYAORAN! WAKE UP! Please. sweetie. wake up." Sakura cried as she held Syaoran in her arms. His aura was weak but he was still alive.

"Don't. cry . Sakura. Everything. will .be alright." Syaoran said as he strained the words to form a sentence. Sakura's tears still didn't stop. They kept on flowing from her eyes. Everyone looked at the scene in shock. How could this have happened? Syaoran, on the ground, dying? Could this be possible?

"Sakura." Tomoyo said softly as she watched her friend and sort of felt her pain. Sirens were heard in the background as the police approached the Li mansion, as well as an ambulance.

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

"Hey Sakura. You okay?" Meiling asked her sobbing friend. She knew the answer to her question but felt that it was still necessary to ask.

It had already been about 5 hours since the whole thing started. After the police came, they arrested Sae and she is now going to serve her lifetime in jail that is until Sakura asked if she could choose Sae's punishment. The police reluctantly agreed and Sae and Sakura entered a room. In about a minute, Sae emerged from the room with only a memory of who she was, what she did, who her family members were and where she lived. Sakura emerged a little later, partially exhausted but still ok. Meanwhile. Syaoran was in the emergency room for the 5 hours that have passed by. No word was given to anyone about his condition and Sakura was really frightened. She never remembered being this afraid in her life. Even those ghost stories that Naoko used to tell wouldn't compare at all to the situation she was in right now.

"I'm fine." Sakura lied as she tried to wipe away her tears.

"Sakura. you are the worst liar on this planet. It's okay to feel sad or scared or both. It's okay. Everything will turn out fine. This is my cousin we're talking about, remember?" Meiling said as she tried her best to cheer her friend up. Sakura felt a little better than before and gave Meiling a sweet smile.

"Thanks Meiling." Meiling gave her friend a hug.

Five minutes after that, a doctor walked out of the emergency room that Syaoran was in. Sakura felt like bolting up and shivering in her chair at the same time. She wanted to know what to the condition was and at the same time she didn't want to.

"How is he?" Meiling asked.

"Are you a direct family relative?"

"Um. I'm his cousin. Does that count?"

"I'm sorry. It doesn't." the doctor replied. The moment he said that Meiling thought to herself mentally. ' WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!? WHY CAN'T I FUCKING KNOW?!?!?' but kept calm so no one would notice.

"Who are you to the patient?" The doctor asked Sakura. Sakura quivered in her chair but slowly responded the question.

"I'm. his fiancée."

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you either." The doctor said in a sad tone of voice. Sakura immediately started to cry again and Meiling just gave the doctor her death glare. The doctor saw this and decided to bend the rules for once. (which one do you think convinced him. hehe)

"Please don't cry. I'll tell you.. Both of you." He said as Sakura's sobs turned into sniffles.

"At the moment, the patient has seriously injuries in the abdominal area but other than that, he's okay." Sakura heard the news and sighed, relieved that he was okay.

"W.w.when can I see him?" Sakura asked.

"I'm sorry. You can't see him today. You'll have to wait till tomorrow." The doctor clearly stated. Sakura's eyes welled up with more tears waiting to stream down her cheeks. Meiling noticed this and pointed to the doctor and made the little finger motion that said come here. Meiling and the doctor left to a room.

"Okay. if you don't let Sakura see Syaoran today. and NOW. I shall make your life a living hell. understood?" Meiling's tone of voice had turned to I'm-gonna -kill -you tone. The doctor gulped and just nodded. They returned to Sakura to see that Tomoyo, Eriol, and Kiley were cheering her up.

"Um. you may go see the patient now." The doctor stuttered as Sakura smiled and followed the doctor to Syaoran's room. Kiley looked at Meiling and laughed.

"What's so funny?" Meiling asked.

"You SO threatened that doctor. Shame on you Meiling Li." Kiley said as Meiling just stuck her tongue out at him.

"Hey, like I had a choice. The idiot wouldn't let Sakura see Syaoran till tomorrow." Meiling defended herself.

"For once, threatening had done some good." Eriol commented.

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

The doctor had led Sakura to the hospital room. Sakura sighed. Not even a month had passed by and Syaoran had been in the hospital twice, and both times, it was because of her. Sakura cried a little more and then opened the door. Inside, Syaoran looked so peaceful and happy. Sakura walked over and sat at his bedside. She promised herself not to cry, but it wasn't possible not to. Sakura cried as she looked at him. Then she cried herself to sleep, sleeping right next to Syaoran.

The next morning, the cheerful chirping of the birds filled the air. Syaoran blinked once or twice as the sun shone right on his face. Then he tried to sit up in bed but found it too painful to. So to his surprise, he couldn't sit. Another surprise he found was Sakura sleeping right next to him on a chair.

"Syaoran." Sakura whispered still sleeping. Syaoran smiled as he lay in bed looking at his sweet fiancée. The door suddenly creaked open and Yelan came in through the door.

"So you're awake. How do you feel Xiao-Lang?"

"I feel a whole lot of pain. I can't sit up straight." Syaoran said trying to sit upright.

"Xiao-Lang! If you can't sit up, then why do you keep on trying to? Your condition would only get worse!" Yelan said as she pushed her struggling son back into a lying position.

"That hurt!" Syaoran said as he winced in pain. Sakura's eyes opened up to see Syaoran. She looked at his face, which had pain written all over it.

"Syaoran, daijoubu ka?" Sakura suddenly asked. Syaoran turned his head around to his left side to see his worried fiancée.

"Of course I'm fine." Syaoran replied lying to her.

"You're lying." Sakura stated.

"What?"

"You are lying to me. You're really in pain and can't sit upright." Sakura replied. Syaoran could've sworn that she just read his mind or something. Syaoran sighed and answered,

"You might've cried and I can't bare to see that. It hurts me a lot more to see you crying than the situation I'm in right now."

"I can't help crying. You're in pain and it's all my fault!" Sakura screamed.

"Whoa. Who told you that?"

"Myself."

"The last person's fault this is would be you. If Sae didn't like me, than nothing like this would've happened. Also. if Sae weren't an out of control manic. we wouldn't have this problem either. Ok?"

"Ok." Sakura said softly. Syaoran looked as his fiancée's face and could tell that she still wasn't convinced. He moved closer to her face so his lips brushed with hers.

"What'll convince you that this isn't you fault?" Syaoran whispered. Sakura slightly blushed.

"If you accept my apology." She whispered back. Syaoran pulled back and lay down in bed.

"How can I accept your apology if you didn't do anything wrong?" Syaoran asked.

"Please Syaoran, just tell me that you accept my apology. Please." Syaoran took a look into her emerald eyes. They were filled with pain, guilt, and sorrow.

"Alright Sakura. I forgive you." Syaoran said. Sakura smiled and gave her love a kiss.

"Arigato!" Sakura said as she laughed. Even though she did nothing wrong, anything is worth to hear the joyous sound of Sakura's laughter.

"Is everyone there awake?"

"Yes Meiling." Yelan responded as the door opened.

"Hey cuz!" Meiling said as she walked over to Syaoran and gave him a big hug.

"Meiling. that hurts." Syaoran choked out as Meiling automatically released her arms.

"Sorry." Meiling sheepishly grinned. Sakura stifled her giggles.

"Syaoran is still healing. Best if you don't give him hugs." Sakura said as Tomoyo, Eriol, and Kiley entered through the door.

"Hey cute little descendant." Eriol said. Just for that. Tomoyo slapped his shoulder.

"Hey Syaoran." Kiley said as he waved to Syaoran. Syaoran smiled and waved back.

"Hope you get better Syaoran." Tomoyo said as she gave him a light hug.

"Thanks everyone." Syaoran said.

"Well. actually. I hope it takes you a while before you get better." Tomoyo said in a sad tone.

"Nani?" Sakura said shocked that her best friend would make a remark like that.

"Sakura, we're leaving Hong Kong as soon as Syaoran gets better. I'm sorry." Tomoyo said. Sakura just gave her friend a blank stare and then smiled at her.

"I don't think I will, or at least if I go, Syaoran will be coming with me." Sakura replied. Now, it was Tomoyo's turn to be shocked.

"How? Doesn't Syaoran have training and stuff?"

"Well. I."

"Let me finish this one sweetie." Syaoran interrupted.

"The thing is. I wouldn't want to be apart from my fiancée that much anymore." Syaoran said as he smiled and looked at Sakura. Everyone was in shock and then regained control of themselves and congratulated the two.

"I can't believe it. Finally, Sakura and Syaoran together!" Tomoyo squealed as she pulled her video camera out of nowhere. Sakura and Syaoran smiled at each other and then leaned in for a sweet passionate kiss.

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

"Come on Sakura, we're boarding now!" Syaoran yelled so that half of the airport could hear him.

"I'm coming. Hold on." Sakura said as she lifted her baggage for the fifth time to see that strangely. it was lighter than the other four times she tried. Sakura looked up where the baggage was to see Syaoran's hands holding onto the bag.

"I said to hurry up." Syaoran said. "Come on sweetie."

"All right." Sakura said as she looked back and Yelan, Wei, Kiley and Meiling and waved. "Bye!" Then Sakura ran to catch up with Syaoran.

The plane still hasn't lifted off yet. Tomoyo and Eriol were on the other side of the plane from where Sakura and Syaoran were sitting. (aka sideways. like left to right. Tomoyo right, Sakura left. Get it?) Tomoyo was comfortable noting that she was already sleeping in Eriol's arms. Sakura looked at Syaoran and lay her head on his shoulders.

"Sleepy already?"

"No, it's just so comfortable." Sakura said as she shut her eyes.

"Good night sweetheart." Syaoran said as he kissed Sakura's forehead.

"I told you that I'm not sleepy." Sakura pouted.

"I'm joking. So, what are we going to do during the ride?"

"Oh! I almost forgot. I have to give you something." Sakura said as she looked in her bag.

"All passengers make sure your seatbelts are on. We are going to liftoff." The flight attendant announced.

"Sakura. Lay back. You can do that later." Syaoran said as he pushed Sakura back into her seat.

"Ok."

Shortly after liftoff, Sakura fell asleep along with Syaoran.

"Please make sure your seatbelts are on. We are approaching Tokyo airport."

"Sakura." Syaoran lightly shook his fiancée.

"Huh?"

"We're almost there. Like 5 more minutes. Look out the window." Syaoran said as Sakura looked and was aghast at what she saw. She could see the entire Tokyo skyline at night from a bird's eye view and it was amazing.

"Wow."

"Yeah. When I first came to Japan, I thought that it would be one of the most beautiful countries that I would ever go to. Little did I know, that country had the most beautiful woman who I would later find myself fall in love with." Syaoran said. Sakura turned back to see Syaoran's face and then gave Syaoran a passionate kiss.

"I love you, Syaoran." Sakura whispered.

"I love you too my sweet cherry blossom." Syaoran responded.

"KAWAII!" All of the passengers looked at Tomoyo like she was a mad person while she was videotaping Sakura and Syaoran.

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

"ONNI-CHAN! OTOU-SAN!" Sakura yelled as she ran up to the two tall figures.

"Welcome home my dear daughter." Fujitaka said as he embraced Sakura.

"Welcome home imouto-chan." Touya said as he gave his little sister a hug.

"I missed you guys." Sakura said smiling.

"We missed you too." Fujitaka said.

"Sakura!"

"I'M OVER HERE!" Sakura yelled to the voice. Slowly a man approached the Kinomoto family. Touya looked at him and started to think. Where had he seen him before? How does he know his little sister? Who was he?

"Konbanwa." Syaoran said as he bowed down to Touya and Fujitaka. Fujitaka smiled while Touya's head exploded. It was that. Chinese gaki!

"Konbanwa, Syaoran is it not?" Fujitaka responded as he shook hands with Syaoran.

"I'm happy to see that you recognized me."

"Chinese gaki." Touya mumbled under his breath.

"I'm glad to see that you recognize me too Touya-san." Syaoran said in the kindest way to Touya possible. Sakura jabbed his arm a little in a frustrated manner.

"What brings you here to Japan, Syaoran?" Fujitaka asked to break the glaring contest between Syaoran and Touya.

"Um. well." Syaoran started while blushing a deep red. Sakura giggled and continued for him.

"Me."

"You?" Touya asked suspiciously.

"Yup. Me. He's my fiancée." Sakura stated smiling.

"Fiancée." The words could barely roll off his tongue. Touya Kinomoto just received the most shocking news in his life. even though he knew it was coming.

"Yes onni-chan. Fiancée." Sakura said so her brother could process the information.

"Congratulations daughter. You too Syaoran." Fujitaka responded while Touya's face turned pale. Suddenly a thump was heard and Touya was laying on the floor, unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's all for now! Sae won't be interfering anymore. YAY! Yea. u ppl probably wanted me to kill her or something. sorry. I can't do violent scenes. although they seem to work well with mai brother in real life. __ __;

Excerpt

The little three year old emerald eyed toddler ran a little too fast to the sandbox. She tripped and scraped her knee. She started to cry and then a stranger came up to her and held her. Usually she would start to struggle but the person has such an inviting aura. She stopped crying. She looked up at the stranger. He had amber eyes and chocolate brown hair. He gave her a smile and she started to giggle.

Suddenly, the stranger felt his legs hurt a little. He looked down to see a little amber eyed boy punching and kicking him.

"Let my sister go you meanie!" The little kid retaliated. The stranger smiled at the little boy and put his little sister down. The emerald eyed girl looked at the stranger like she met him before.

"Konnichiwa! I'm Cherry." She smiled as she put out her small hand. The stranger took out his hand and shook the little girls.

"Konnichiwa. I'm Syaoran Li." The stranger said.

"Okaa-san said not to talk to strangers." The little boy said as he poked his sister.

"Kids! Where are you!" An angelic voice spoke.

"Come over here okaa-san! I met a nice stranger!" The little girl yelled. The mother walked over to see her children right next to a tall male stranger. but he didn't seem like a stranger to her.

"I thought I told you not to go near strangers Cherry."

"She wouldn't listen to me." The little boy said. Cherry stuck her tongue out at her brother and continued.

"Okaa-san, this is Syaoran Li, the stranger I met!" Cherry proudly stated. Sakura's world started to blank out.

"Shaoran."

"Excuse me?" Syaoran asked. The only person ever in his life who called him that was. his Sakura.

"Its me, Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura said softly and slowly.
