Meeting Once Again

Chapter Seven: Rescue

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*

"I'll explain later ok son? I feel really weak," Sakura said as she placed her hand on her forehead and sat down on her bed clutching the sheets in the other hand. Xiao Hu said something but she couldn't hear it for some strange reason. She felt like she was loosing her energy. 'When I saw them standing beside each other, it felt like my heart was being wrenched out. knowing that we could never be a family. At least not at this rate. Mou, I fell really dizzy.' Sakura thought to herself as she slipped into unconsciousness and collapsed.

"Mom!" Xiao Hu yelled as he set her down on the bed properly and ran to get help.

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*

Syaoran's Point of View

I was sitting on my bed, after a nice getaway. I could have sworn I felt Sakura's aura fading, but I ignored it. It was probably nothing. Suddenly, I heard some little kid screaming for some one to help him. That voice sounds familiar for some strange reason. I don't know why. *Sigh* Ah well, might as well go and check.

"What are you screaming about now kid?" I ask as I open my door to see him scared half to death. Wait a sec. isn't that my so-called son? And if he was screaming mom. and he looks scared.

"My mother she-" He began but I cut him off. No, my first thoughts couldn't have been right.

"Where is she?" I ask trying to feel her aura. Where is it? Oh my god. Where the hell is it? He has every right to be scared.

"She's in here," he said to me dragging me into her room. I see her lying on her bed. She looked pale. I could see her aura around her as always. But it was much more faint, and looked as though it were in pain, and hurting because of someone or something. It was so faint, and so hard to see. I knew it wasn't physical pain. it was her emotions. Her aura was fading. It was because of me. there was only one thing I could do. But, I don't think her son would like it if I had to get under the covers with her.

"Okay kid, listen to me. Go and get Yelan Li. Do you know who she is?" I ask him. He nods. "Okay good. I am going to have to wrap your mom in my aura okay? So don't freak out," I say to him as he glares at me. He looks longingly at his mother then at me with a glare then dashes out of the room.

Great! This is going to be so much fun! I have to hug the woman that has had my child, the woman I am constantly fighting with and the woman, who at this point has every right to, and probably does, hates my guts. She couldn't be dying could she? No. but I can't take any chances. I took off my jacket and all of weapons and put them under a pillow. I placed her under the covers and her heard her stifle a groan. I too got under the covers and held her close to me. I kept on stroking her hair. Her emerald green eyes fluttered open.

"Li-kun? What's going on? Why." She began but I just looked at her with a half smile and she smiled back.

"Your aura is weak. I'm transferring some of mine to you," I whispered in her ear. She made herself comfortable lying with me and closed her eyes. I knew that I could probably use up a lot of strength, and the only I could get it back was if I slept. So, that's what I did. Sleep.

~*Third Person POV*~

Xiao Hu rushed up to Fujitaka and Yelan as he was told to.

"Grandfather! Yelan! Mom. she. her aura. some guy. helping her.I'm scared," Xiao Hu said trying to get air. He had run all over the place trying to find them. This was the last place he had to check.

"Sakura? Is she all right?" Fujitaka asked as he and Yelan stood up. Fujitaka glanced at Yelan.

"I-I can't feel her," Yelan said scared. Fujitaka paled as they rushed up to her chambers. When they reached there, they saw Sakura and Syaoran hugging each other, their auras mixing to form a creamy gold color.

"She'll be fine now Xiao Hu," Yelan said as she closed the door. "My son will take care of her now."

"Your son? You mean that baka is your son Yelan?" Xiao Hu asked glaring at the now closed door.

"Yes that baka is. And I'm very proud of that baka, too," Yelan said to herself. 'He has been able to put his pride aside for once. Him and his foolish actions. Hopefully, they'll get together after this whole mess is cleared up.' They walked down the stairs back to the throne room where Eriol, Tomoyo, Takashi and Chiharu were talking. When the three entered the room, the conversational buzz stopped.

"Father? Is she all right?" Tomoyo asked worriedly. Fujitaka just nodded as the four sighed in relief.

"So, how does mom know Yelan's son?" Xiao Hu asked. This question had been bugging him since he saw him with her that first day. Everyone exchanged a glance.

"Well, Xiao Hu, I guess you should know something first. This is Eriol and Takashi; they are brothers of Syaoran and also Yelan's sons. A long time ago, before you were born, we all knew each other," Tomoyo began. 'It would have had to come out sometime or another.'

"And, well, your grandfather had us engaged to one another because we all kept on scaring away everyone that wanted to marry us," Chiharu finished off for Tomoyo.

"When we met, we hated each other. But. as we got to know each other, we didn't mind the engagement at all anymore. But then," Takashi began.

"But then we found out that your aunts had all ready been promised to our cousins. So, we tried to make a false contract saying it had all ready been broken, but we had been caught," Eriol said hanging his head.

"But, while we were engaged, Sakura, your mother got pregnant," Takashi continued. The girls were in tears and couldn't continue.

"She did? So that means one of you are my father?" Xiao Hu asked emotionlessly.

"Yes. But we have to finish. When we were caught, we were forbidden to see each other again, unless they all could agree. So since my aunt is dead, so we were all invited to your birthday party, where we met up with your aunts again," Eriol said squeezing Tomoyo's hand lightly.

"Xiao Hu, we can say nothing more. You should ask your mother to tell you. It's not our place," Tomoyo said softly. Xiao Hu was on the verge of tears so he just ran and went into his chambers and cried.
