Meeting Once Again

Chapter Five: NANI?!?!? BALLROOM DANCING?!

~*~*~*~**~*~*~* 'They're right. I really have screwed myself over. And now I know it is true, I have a son,' Syaoran thought to himself as he let a few more tears make their way down his cheeks. (So now you figure it out huh?) ~*~*~*~**~*~*~*

Syaoran was wandering around aimlessly in the gardens. Two things were bothering him. It was the middle of the night. (Sorry for the huge jump from afternoon to middle of the night!) Everyone was asleep, and he loved having the feeling of the wind brushing over him. He didn't have to wear his "formal" clothes. Just plain old emerald green pajamas. green like Sakura's eyes.

'I have a son. What if I've lost Sakura now? Could I be too late?' Syaoran thought as he continued to wander. This fact and these two questions repeated themselves in his mind, over and over and over again. He kept on wandering until he found himself sitting on a bench in front of the cherry trees. He smiled to himself at the memories of the gardens he had at his home. They first met there. Although it wasn't too much of a very pleasant meeting. it was their meeting nonetheless.

~**~

She tossed and turned in her bed. She just couldn't get back to sleep. She decided to take a stroll in the gardens. She put on her robe and slippers and went for her stroll. She was sitting under her favorite cherry blossom tree when she heard someone coming. She immediately swung herself into the tree, her eyes watching to see who was coming, and see if she needed to attack. It was him. Li Syaoran. He sat down on the hard, stone bench, which was probably cold. He didn't seem to even notice though; he was too deep in thought. She could tell. He was sad. Sad about something. he was hurting. It hurt her to know that he was hurting. 'ABOUT WHAT?!" Her mind screamed. She couldn't take it anymore. She quietly slid from he branch that she was perched on and ran from where she was. The moment she hit the ground, he looked up, and saw her figure run.

"Sakura?" Syaoran questioned when they made eye contact for a millisecond. He saw the tears well up in her eyes before she turned her head and ran. Just like he did. "SAKURA!" He cried once more, but she was all ready gone. And maybe gone for good.

~*The Next Day*~

Sakura yawned and stretched as she got up. Just as she came out from the washroom fully dressed and ready to go downstairs, there was a knock at her door.

"Come in," Sakura said in a masked cheery voice. She had promised herself that just because he wasn't ready to admit he had a son, she wouldn't mope around as if it were the end of the world. As long as Xiao Hu had no suspicions, everything would be fine. things would go back to the way things were. even though she didn't want it like this; she had to take what fate threw her. Even if it was going to be pure hell to try to pull all of this cheeriness off when she was filled with sorrow.

"Hey mom! You're up on time. Do you want to come to the gardens a bit later? I was wondering if you ano could teach me a little magic and combat skills," Xiao Hu said happily, filled with hope. Sakura cracked a sincere smile and shook her head at her son's eagerness.

"Sure. Why not?" Sakura said as she led him out of the room. "Come on, let's go down for breakfast."

"Thanks mother," Xiao Hu said as he hugged her and she and he walked down the hall and the two sat together along with Tomoyo and Chiharu.

"Hey Saku! Are you doing any better?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yup! I'll be fine," Sakura said.

"Why? Aren't you fine now? What happened mother? Is everything okay? Does it have anything to do with those guys that were talking to you before? I'll kill them all!" Xiao Hu said going into rage.

"Kinomoto Touya Xiao Hu. Do not speak like that and clam down now," Sakura said sternly using his middle name. She only used that when she really meant things. (There will be a reason why he has his middle name in there. Just wait and see.)

"Gomen nasai Okaa-san," Xiao Hu apologized.

"It's all right. You just need to control your temper. It's nothing anyways, I was just feeling a bit sick," Sakura lied as she sipped her juice. She had learned to be a better liar over the years. Ever since her pregnancy, she always had to assure everyone that she was okay, even though at times she didn't. She had progressed well, but a few people could still tell when she was lying.

"Okay," Xiao Hu said as he eyed her suspiciously, and went back to eating his toast and eggs with bacon. Sakura and her sisters along with Xiao Hu continued chatting while eating their breakfast. Now and then Sakura and Chiharu would tease Tomoyo about what happened with Eriol. She had told them earlier. When they were finished, they exited the hall and went to the gardens where they had always trained. Sakura has asked Chiharu and Tomoyo to train with her. it had been years, but she wanted to Xiao Hu to know the best. When they arrived they were greeted with a surprise. Yelan and her sons along with Fujitaka and a blue eyed, blonde haired man.

"Sakura, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Xiao Hu! Glad to see you here. We were going to come and get you," Fujitaka said happily.

"Hoe? Otou-san, what is all of this about? It's a pleasure to meet you again Li-san," Sakura said quickly. Yelan nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, we thought it would be nice to have a ball, so you'll be opening the ball with the traditional ball room dancing!" Fujitaka said happily.

"NANI?" All seven screamed in shock. (Yes Xiao Hu too!)

"I said that you're opening the ball with a dance. We're having you paired up, and Xiao Hu, we're still thinking about having you in it too. Demo, we'll have to see first," Fujitaka said again.

"IIE! Iie, this can't be happening to me. Okaa-san! HELP! And I don't want anyone to dance with Okaa either," Xiao Hu pleaded grumpily as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Sorry, I'm in the same position as you. And don't worry it will be okay," Sakura said smiling small. But really, she was shaking inside.

"Well, your pairs are how they were *ahem* before. Xiao Hu, I think I know someone who has a daughter around your age," Yelan said.

"Yelan-chan! Iie! Don't make me! Okaa-san!" Xiao Hu pleaded.

"Xiao Hu, I can't help you. And call her Li-san," Sakura said to her son.

"Iie Sakura-san, he may call me whatever he wishes," Yelan said. 'Although I wish it was Grandmother.'

"Hoeee. This is going to be hell," Sakura mumbled under her breath.

"Who is that guy?" Syaoran asked glaring and pointing at the man.

"Oh! Gomen! This is your sensei. He will be teaching you the dancing," Fujitaka said happily.

"Oh. okay," Eriol said understanding.

"Well, you get started. Xiao Hu, please come with us," Yelan said. He followed obediently shooting his mother a look that screamed 'HELP ME!!'

"Well, as stated, I am your sensei. My name is Tai-sensei, or Sensei is fine. Now, I presume you all ready know who your partners are. I will show you. Now I need someone to help me out with the demonstration," Tai dictated. He looked at all of them and then gestured to Sakura. Of course Syaoran was boiling with anger, and Tai missed the heavy glare he was shot when he extended a hand towards Sakura.

"Hoe." Sakura mumbled because she saw it, and there was something about this teacher that she just didn't like. Reluctantly she took his hand. Little did she, and everyone else know what intentions he really had for in store for her. and the rest of them. Especially the Little Wolf, and the Cherry Blossom.

Readers: Well, I thought I should explain some things. Well, first, I don't really like this chapter all that much, but hey. it's up to you right? I was having a major writer's block, but I wanted to have this up to chapter 5 at least, seeing as how I'm going back to school on Monday 01/06/03. The next thing is, I put it as ballroom dancing because I remembering seeing in a movie that they had to open up the whole ball with a dance from the people at the home kingdom. So I thought that was a good idea. The reason why I put Touya as Xiao Hu's middle name is because I'm thinking of having Touya in this too! And he'll be paired up with Kaho, and they'll have a daughter. But Sakura, Tomoyo and Chiharu haven't seen him in years. So, you guys tell me what you think okay? I'll try and write more soon and make the chapters longer, and much more eventful ok? Review and thanks to those who have all ready. I've decided to start putting names, but sometimes I'm not on the internet when I'm writing. or just plain old too lazy. I've been trying to put in a little Japanese, correct me if I'm wrong or you just don't like it ok? Well, that's all for now! Ja ne!
