I Will Always Love You

~*~Eriol's POV~*~

I yawned, walking out of my room. Into the hallway I went, coming to a stop at Sakura's room. I peeked in, seeing no one there; I wondered if she was in the kitchen getting food.

As I turned to shut the door, her phone rang. On impulse, I picked it up, answering the impatient ringing.

"Hello?" I asked.

A cold and scary hoarse voice came into the phone, "Hello Eriol."

"Who is this?" I demanded.

"You'll see soon. But as of right now, keep the cherry blossom safe for me. I'm going to need her." The guy on the other line started laughing his insane laughter.

"Huh? Need her for what?" My concern for Sakura grew as I started to talk to this insane man.

"Lets just say… a little wolf pissed me off and now, I'll take his little girlfriend and show him what he deserves." The line went into dial tone, the guy hanging up on me.

I growled, getting frustrated for the first time. No one would fuck with Sakura and Syaoran and live to see the day.

"Eriol, what are you doing," yelled a voice behind me. I jumped and opened the door all the way, showing a very angry Cherry Blossom in her pajamas.

"Uh… your phone went off and I answered it. The prankster hung up on me," I lied, as she nodded, taking it for an answer.

Running off, I sighed, thanking God.

~*~ Normal POV ~*~

As Eriol went to go get something to eat and watch TV, Sakura was in her room, looking at her cell phone. Tomoyo was still asleep, being the one up all night. After Sakura got out of the bathroom, Meiling recovered and went about her business; a shower.

Sakura got dressed, wearing her yellow turtleneck and black Capri pants. Grinning, she put on some sandals and stretched, getting out her hairbrush. Brushing along, she thought of what she was going to call her baby/babies and finished her thinking and brushing. Taking out her cell, she called up a doctor and made an appointment for today to get her checked out.

Tomoyo on the other hand, had just gotten up. Yawning, she opened her drawer and pulled out a sleeveless denim shirt and light blue knee length skirt. Walking out barefoot, she went down the stairs and found Eriol in the kitchen, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Giggling, she started to cook breakfast.

Meiling came down finally, dressed up in a business suit and grabbed the newspaper from Eriol and sat down, reading it.

"HEY! I WAS READING THAT!"

"Oh well. Find yourself another newspaper," Meiling smirked, reading.

He grabbed at it and she pulled it back, ripping it.

"Ok children, settle down," Tomoyo quipped, stirring around the eggs and rice.

Sakura came bouncing down, giggling.

"Konnichiwa minna-san!" She sat down, looking at the cooking Tomoyo.

"AH-HA! FOUND THE JOB!" Meiling grinned, praising herself.

"What? You're taking a job Meiling?" asked a very confused Sakura. Meiling nodded.

"I'm going to support this family. And then, I'm going to be very rich and famous and give my fans all the credit," she continued, going starry-eyed, leaving a very stunned Tomoyo, a giggly Sakura and a very weirded out Eriol.

"I think it's time you get your head out of the clouds Meiling," said Eriol dismissively.

"Well get your head out of your own ass!" she retorted.

"STOP IT! TIME TO ENJOY BREAKFAST!" Tomoyo said, handing over everyone a plate with eggs, rice and pancakes and a soup bowel full of chicken noodle soup for Sakura.

"Mou Tomoyo, you're going to make me look like a hippo before I'm even five months," Sakura stated, before smelling the food. Holding her stomach, she ran upstairs, leaving everyone stunned.

All of a sudden, the phone rang.

"I'll get it!" Tomoyo ran to the phone, picking it up.

"Konnichiwa. Tomoyo here."

"Ohayo Tomoyo, it is Wei-san. May I please speak to Meiling?"

"Sure, Meiling! The phones for you!" Tomoyo handed over to a happy Meiling.

"Ohayo Wei-san. What is up?" Eriol snorted in his coffee and Tomoyo giggled.

"Bad news. Syaoran is going to Japan. Elders are letting him go out of his love for Sakura."

"Uh oh," Meiling said, looking pointedly at Eriol and Tomoyo to get their attention. Of course, that got their attention and they were silent.

"Uh oh is right. Either you call up his cell phone and tell him you guys are in England or you will have to face the Elders wrath for lying to them."

"Sakura doesn't want to see that baka right now, so I will sooner face the wrath of the Elders than face Sakura's."

"Alright, I'll keep silent." He hung up. She was hanging up right after-wards.

"You guys, Syaoran is going back to Japan right this instant. Eriol, I suggest you go transport yourself to your house in Japan right this instant and give Syaoran some answers before he goes nuts and tears up the Eastern hemisphere for her." Meiling said to them.

"Yes, I will do that right this instant," Eriol said as he disappeared. Tomoyo shrugged as Sakura came back into the kitchen.

"Where is Eriol-chan?" she asked.

"Oh, he had to do business," Tomoyo lied, knowing how gullible Sakura is. But this lie was for her own good.

"Oh all right," she said finally in a whisper and ate her food.

~*~Airport in Japan ~*~

"Flight 302, Hong Kong, China to Tomeoda, Japan, now arriving." Said the monotone voice in the speaker. Eriol weaved in and out of the mob (Crowd lol) and arrived at the gate. Syaoran, lugging his baggage like they were full of bricks.

"HEY SYAORAN!" he yelled, trying to get the guy over.

"Oh! Hey Eriol! Thanks for picking me up," Syaoran said, grinning.

Eriol took his bags and threw them into the trunk of his blue Mercedes Benz. Syaoran, hopping into the front passenger seat, relaxed.

"So what's up man? I heard you got a fiancée back there. Why you leaving her?"

"I don't like her. She'll ruin the Li name. My mom and I could totally tell she's a gold-digger and only likes me because of my good looks. Anyways, what's up with you?"

"Oh nothing, found some bad news waiting for me. Been doing some errands since you've been gone."

"Really? What are some of the bad news?"

"Oh just this and that…" Eriol grinned, but inside, he was nervous about telling Syaoran. But he knew it would be a right thing to tell Syaoran.

"Oh, so you're not going to tell me?"

"Why don't you ask me?"

"Why don't you just tell me?"

"Alright! Sakura is…." Eriol said, not knowing how to finish the sentence even though it was perfectly easy.

"Is…?"

"She's… pregnant."

Syaoran stared at him in surprise before screaming, "NANI?!"

"Hai, she is pregnant. Three months."

"So… I'm a father?" He asked.

"Hai…" Eriol whispered and Syaoran started to cry.

"I'm a daddy," he cried. Eriol looked at him weirdly and didn't know what to do.

Syaoran kept bawling and Eriol hesitantly patted him.

"Where's Sakura?" he asked after finishing crying.

"You should know, you keep prank calling her," Eriol said flatly.

"What? Ok, now I'm confused. How could I prank call her when I couldn't call anyone?"

"Well, you seem good at lying, I'll give you that, but you need to stop. Sakura is probably scared out of her mind."

"I told you, I haven't been calling. Look, ask Wei, look at my damn Cell. I haven't called anyone," he said, handing over the cell so Eriol could check the numbers.

"Hmmm… well, you're girl is getting pranks, but it isn't really funny. Now, if it is you, I will beat the living shit out of you then let Tomoyo and Meiling do the rest," Eriol threatened.

"I promise I didn't prank her."

"Alright." They dismissed the prankings.

"So, can you drop me off at Sakura's?" Syaoran asked.

"Sure, I'll drop your stuff at the house and be on my way."

"Arigato." Eriol headed towards Sakura's and dropped him off, looking at him sadly, knowing the truth would hit him, and I mean, HIT him.

Putting the car into drive, he sadly drove his way to Syaoran's.

~*~Syaoran's POV ~*~

"There was something weird about Eriol's behavior, like he wasn't telling me something," I wondered about his behavior as I went up to Sakura's door.

I knocked on it and waited patiently looking down. As the door opened, I looked up; brightening up but not before a fist hit me.

"GAKI! LOOK WHAT YOU DID! MY KAJUII IS GONE," yelled Touya, crying himself.

I rubbed my face, confused once again.

"Sakura's gone? What?" I asked, confused even more.

"Touya, let the boy in," said a deeper voice from inside the house.

Touya scowled and let me in, slamming the door as soon as I got inside.

"So, you're the Li boy correct?" asked the older man, Sakura's dad.

"Hai." I said.

"Do you know where Sakura may be? She has not called me in three months," he said, pointing around the house. It was dirty, not cleaned.

"What happened?"

"Well, I guess after you left, which I knew of it, because Sakura was frowning that day, three months ago, she disappeared. Of course, she went out that night and it seemed to me like she was over at Tomoyo's. A few days later, they both disappeared, leaving a note saying something about leaving to England," Touya said, tears in his eyes again.

"England? But why would she go there? She has nobody there," I said aloud before thinking.

'Eriol… lived in England.' I thought.

"I know," said her dad.

"Wait, Eriol lives in England and he's the only one that can suggest it. So I'm guessing he has a part in this," anger tinted my voice.

'I remember him saying something about my fiancée. And if he told Sakura that, then she would want to get away from me as soon as possible. And so, leaving, would hereby say she doesn't want nothing to do with me' I thought, piecing it all together.

"I know why now, but I got to be going, I'll call you guys later," I said, running out the door and into the rain, which had just started.

Running to Eriol's house, I kept thinking over and over about Sakura.

Running up to his door, I banged on the door, anger taking over my self-control.

"HIIRIGAZAWA! LET ME IN RIGHT NOW!" I yelled.

"Alright alright," came a faint voice from inside and he opened the door. I strutted in, letting water fall onto his nice waxy floor.

"HEY! YOU'RE WETTING MY FLOOR!" he growled, getting me surprised. He had never growled and he had just done so to my face.

"WELL SORRY! MAYBE IF SOMEONE HAD NOT LIED TO MY FACE!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You lied to me. Sakura isn't home. She disappeared three months ago after I left," I left out the part about England.

"Correct, but you left her! So don't play all innocent and Mr. Nice- guy," he yelled at me, knowing he was angry. That surprised me also.

"I LOVE SAKURA! THE LEAST YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME WAS THAT SHE WAS NOT HERE AND NOT MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL. I GOT SOCKED IN THE FACE FOR IT!"

He smirked, "You got socked in the face by Touya, serves you right. But you don't love her. Maybe if you didn't leave her, lying to her like you did with the rest of us. I love her anyways, she doesn't need you," he said dismissively.

"You love her like a sister, unlike Tomoyo. Don't lie," I stated coldly.

"Whether I do or don't, it is none of your damn business!"

"IT IS MY BUSINESS!"

"Well, have fun, because I got to leave." He said, popping out.

"Oh, I'll have fun. You watch and see Hirigazawa! I'll see her again," I said coldly, taking out my phone to call the airport.
