*Meeting Once Again*
*Chapter Fourteen: The Shot*
"How could you have been so stupid?!" Chiharu yelled at her first.
"And to run off in the forest of all places?!" Touya bellowed second.
"You could have been hurt. or kidnapped!" Tomoyo screeched.
"Why didn't you tell us?" All three shouted at the same time. It was so loud she had to cover her ears. Syaoran and Sakura had just walked back from the forest and after making sure they were alright they were hauled in the throne room where, Chiharu, Tomoyo, Touya, Eriol, Takashi, Xiao Hu, Kaho, Yelan, Meiling, Mary and Fujitaka were waiting.
"Umm. I'm sorry?" Sakura rather asked than said and they all just glared at her. She looked at Syaoran to help her out when he just shrugged. "Well really, I just needed to get away and think some things over. I had to figure out what I was going to do about a few things. Tell me, if I were to say I want to go out on my own to sort out a few things, would you have agreed?" Sakura asked them. They all went silent.
"Well you could have told me and I would have come with you," Xiao Hu said coldly.
"Don't use that tone with me young man. I'm glad you didn't come anyways. Touya. I ran into Christopher," Sakura said shifting her gaze from her son to her brother.
"What did he do? I'll kill him," Touya said quietly through clenched teeth.
"We'll talk later," Sakura said in the same tone. "Xiao Hu, go to your room, I'll speak with you in a moment. You were so eager to know. So now you'll know," Sakura said turning to her son as he gave his mother a concerned look then went to his room. "Touya, we'll talk in a while. Xiao Hu wants to know who his father is, so he'll know as of now. Syaoran, could you come with me so I can explain to him. Are you sure you're ready though?" Sakura asked Syaoran who nodded. Everyone gave her a worried look but Sakura didn't look back, not getting a chance to seem them.
"I'll find out. don't worry Kinomoto-san," Syaoran said to Touya while he just nodded giving him a cold stare. Syaoran sighed and followed Sakura.
~*Xiao Hu*~
He sat in his room silently waiting for all of questions to be answered. He had been waiting for the longest time. He had always wanted to know who his father was, but knew the sadness it would cause his mother, so he didn't say anything before, but now. when he knew that his father was so close. and yet so far, he just needed to know. He sat on his bed waiting for his mother to come. When he heard two voices and a few footsteps, he moved his gaze from the floor to the door. When a knock came to the door, he felt his heartbeat quicken.
"C-come in," Xiao Hu stuttered as his mother opened the door and stepped in.
"Firstly, I believe you owe me an apology. Even if you really wanted to know, I am you mother and you're not to speak to me in such a way," Sakura said rather coldly.
"You're right, I'm sorry mom," Xiao Hu said shamefully.
"It's okay. Now, I'll introduce you to your father in just a moment. But are there any questions you'd like to ask just me before he comes in?" Sakura asked cheerful again.
"No. I really want to meet him mom," Xiao Hu said with a smile. "But. what if he doesn't like me?" He asked again as the smile faded.
"Don't be foolish. He'll love you. He was just saying the same thing to me when we were on our way up," Sakura said laughing at the irony of it all.
"You really think so mom?" Xiao Hu asked with the doubt evident in his voice.
"Positive," Sakura said once again smiling. "Now, let me bring him in," Sakura said as she went for the door and Xiao Hu unconsciously held his breath. When Sakura stepped in and Syaoran stepped in afterwards, Xiao Hu nearly fell off from where he was sitting. "Xiao Hu. I'd like you to meet your father, Li Syaoran. Li, this is your son. Kinomoto Xiao Hu."
"Him?! I don't like him though!" Xiao Hu whined.
"Xiao Hu. don't say that!" Sakura scolded him in shock as Syaoran just laughed nervously.
"But he's mean! He made you cry!" Xiao Hu exclaimed.
"Um. we've gotten past that now," Sakura said to him. "Now why don't I leave you two alone to chat," Sakura said as she was about to slide out the door.
"And where do you think you're going? Don't leave me alone with him! We can spend some 'quality family time'," Syaoran said as he pulled Sakura back in the room with a forced smile.
"Okay, I guess I'm staying. Any questions for your father Xiao Hu?" Sakura asked looking between the two.
"Why aren't you married to my mom? Why did you make her cry? Are you with my mom now? How did you feel seeing her cry? Why were you so rude to her in the first place? Why did you choose now to show up? Why did you show up at all?" Xiao Hu asked all at once glaring at Syaoran.
"Xiao Hu! Show some respect!" Sakura scolded.
"I'm not married to your mom because I wasn't allowed because we broke the rules. I made her cry because I'm an idiot. It felt very disturbing seeing her cry, like I said I was an idiot. that's why I was rude. I came to your birthday party not knowing you were my son... that's why I showed up at all. As for if we're together. it's all up to your mom whether or not we're together now," Syaoran answered in an even tone.
"Um. Xiao Hu you said you wanted us to teach you how to fight and use magic right? Your father and I will teach you. Come down to the gardens changed in five minutes okay? See you soon," Sakura said quickly and dragged Syaoran out of the room. "Go get changed," Sakura sighed and went to her own room.
~*Later*~
"What was that all about?" Syaoran asked Sakura while they were walking down to the gardens.
"Well, he was asking a bunch of questions which you were obviously unable to answer properly. so I decided to help you out. And it's true. he was saying he wanted to be taught. Father and son bonding," Sakura said good-naturedly.
"But I did answer them properly. and that whole conversation was stupid. The kid hates me!" Syaoran groaned.
"You can't talk to a child like that and don't worry. He'll learn to love you," Sakura answered.
"But he had one good question Kinomoto-san," Syaoran began.
"You know you can call me Sakura and what was this good question?" Sakura asked as they had just about reached the gardens.
"Where are we in our relationship right now?" He whispered in her ear as it sent chills down Sakura's spine.
"I-I don't know," Sakura answered truthfully looking at him. They just stood and stared at each other for a while until Xiao Hu cleared his throat making his presence known.
"Mother. come on. Teach me! You said you would. By the way. hurt my mother and I'll kill you," Xiao Hu said walking up to them and directing his last comment towards Syaoran. Syaoran just let out a nervous laugh.
'Can't hurt him. He's a kid. But then again he's my kid. But he's still a kid,' Syaoran thought to himself over and over trying to keep himself under control.
"He's very overprotective," Sakura said shrugging before going over to where Xiao Hu was sitting and put down a pack.
"What's in there mom?" Xiao Hu asked curiously.
"Oh. just some old things I used to use years back," Sakura said taking out her much adored Clow Book.
"Make sure you don't break your back old lady," Xiao Hu teased smirking.
"Hey!" Sakura whined smiling. Xiao Hu just laughed at her as Syaoran watched from afar wondering if he could ever be apart of her life again. Sakura sat down cross legged and took out all of the things she would need. She took out a first aid kit, her Clow Book, a sword and a few extra old shirts. Sakura was dressed in a pink tunic with loose green pants, allowing her to move freely. Xiao Hu was wearing a dark green tunic and brown pants, while Syaoran was wearing a forest green tunic and black pants like Sakura.
"What do you want to start learning sweetie?" Sakura asked Xiao Hu.
"Umm. I already know hand to hand combat and fencing. Can you teach me magic? You'd always tell me I have magic but you never let me use it," Xiao Hu stated.
"Well I guess," Sakura said. "Hey Li! Come on over. you can't help me teach if you're standing so far away!" Sakura shouted over to him. Syaoran, who was apparently in a daze, shook his head and came jogging over.
"What is it?" Syaoran asked.
"Beginners magic," Sakura said back. Syaoran nodded plopping himself onto the grass.
"Okay. first you have to relax, stop being so tense," Sakura said smiling. "Sit down in a comfortable position and relax. Syaoran will do it too," Sakura said again. Xiao Hu took a deep breath and let go of all the feelings inside of him. From him, soon emitted a clear silver aura.
"He has a silver aura. How. unique," Syaoran mumbled when he opened his eyes.
"Okay Xiao Hu. open your eyes. Do you feel more relaxed now?" Sakura asked smiling as he nodded.
"Now you'll be able to release your magic. You need a few emotions to bring it up easily. Competitiveness, anger or sadness. They have to be at least along those lines for now before you can control it," Syaoran explained.
"Maybe I should test it out on you then," Xiao Hu said smirking.
"Relax. You always have to be relaxed," Sakura said as the two stepped into the middle of the gardens and Sakura watched.
"Go easy on him Li," Sakura called.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Xiao Lang or Syaoran, Sakura?" Syaoran asked giving her a light smile.
"Just because you're my biological father doesn't mean you're allowed to flirt with my mom!" Xiao Hu yelled as he sent a blast from his palm towards Syaoran.
"Well. the kid's got aim. Nothing else probably. Just a weakling," Syaoran said out loud smirking. He could hear Xiao Hu growl underneath his breath and with a yell sent another energy ball towards him, followed by a various amount of kick and punch combos. Sakura sat back and watched merrily remembering all of the days she had with Syaoran and when they used to quarrel non-stop. Then out of the blue she felt her Clow book move in her hands and saw it shoot open.
"Shot!" Xiao Hu called with his hand in the air, as The Shot card emerged from the book and began to shoot at Syaoran. Sakura's eyes and mouth fell open wide before she stumbled after her words.
"Shot! Return now!" Sakura called enraged. When The Shot looked at its Mistress confused then look at Syaoran it went back into the book with an apologetic look. Sakura stood there for a moment while everyone absorbed what happened before she ran over to Syaoran with her kit in her hands, her face pale. Xiao Hu and Syaoran's faces had paled as well. "Oh my god. Syaoran are you alright?" Sakura continued to look him over as Xiao Hu slowly walked back to where his mother's things were in shock.
"What just happened?" Xiao Hu whispered.
"Baby. are you okay?" Sakura asked as she became twice as worried and began checking him over.
"How did that happen mom?" Xiao Hu asked.
"I-I don't know. I'll contact Kero. That's all the training you'll need for now," Sakura said giving him a weak smile. "Go and get some rest." Xiao Hu nodded his head and slowly approached the castle. Syaoran slowly walked to where Sakura was, healed and all. watching as their son walked away.
"That's new," Syaoran whispered so only the two would hear. Once Xiao Hu was in the castle Sakura gave a small nod followed by a light moaning sound and fainted into Syaoran's arms.
