The Party

"Sakura are you ready yet?" Asked Syaoran who had been waiting like a hour for his wife to be ready.

"Almost." Said Sakura as she was finishing putting her make-up on. She quickly grabbed her purse and went to her husband. "All done." She said from behind him. Syaoran turned around to see her and stared completely amazed. She looked gorgeous. "Syaoran close your mouth or a fly might go in there." Said Sakura teasing him.

Syaoran approached her and kissed her gently. "You look beautiful." Whispered Syaoran.

"Thanks." Said Sakura as soft as he did.

"Are you ready Mistress?" Asked Yue in his new form. Three years ago Sakura found a spell that separated Yukito from Yue. Then she gave a new form to Yue for when he did not need to use his magic. He was exactly the same except that his hair was short and he had no wings and he wore normal clothes.

"I want to go see how powerful the Chan Clan has gotten since Clow Reed died." Said Kero excited. He on the other hand stayed the same.

"Just remember not to make any trouble." Said Syaoran.

"Hey what do you mean by that?" Demanded Kero.

"You know what I mean." Said Syaoran.

"Come on you two. We should better go before it becomes late." Said Sakura.

"Alright." They both said in unison.

******

"Master are you sure this will work?" Asked a man in the black hood.

"I'm positive. This will cause the first of many problems in the Li marriage." Said the master as he held a blue liquid.

"Won't they suspect this?" Asked the man in the brown hood.

"No, because there isn't any magic in this." Said the master.

"Then what will happen?" Asked the man.

"While they have this problem I'll arrange a few things and then the Card Mistress will be defenseless and the Sakura cards will be mine and the Li Clan will be forever destroyed." He let off an evil laugh.

******

The Chan mansion was full of people. As Sakura, Syaoran, Kero, and Yue could sense everyone there had magic. Soft murmurs were being heard all over the place. Syaoran new exactly what they were saying.

"The leader of the Li Clan and his wife are here." Whispered one person.

"I thought the Li Clan and the Chan Clan were mortal enemies." Said another.

Sakura and Syaoran didn't pay attention to what the people said.

"Ah Mr. And Mrs. Li! What a pleasure to see you." Said Yui Fung from behind them. Sakura and Syaoran turned around to face him. Yui Fung just stared at Sakura amazed. Syaoran on the other hand didn't like the way this guy was looking at his wife. "So I finally have the pleasure to meet the great Card Mistress. Hi I'm Yui Fung, the leader of the Chan Clan."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Li Sakura." Said Sakura in her usual cheerful voice.

"And Syaoran " But Syaoran cut him off.

"Li." Said Syaoran in a cold voice.

"Uh yes, Li. Forgive me. I've heard that your controlling the Li Clan well." Said Yui Fung.

"Of course. And I heard that your buying more companies." Said Syaoran.

"Uh yes. I hope that you don't mind." Said Yui Fung.

"Why should I. Unless that your trying something on my clan." Said Syaoran in a cold tone. Sakura notice that Syaoran was becoming a bit mad and she knew why. Even though Yui Fung was talking to him every once in a while he would turn to see her and he would see her with desire. Sakura found that annoyed and she new Syaoran founded it even more.

"Why would I ever do that." Said Yui Fung.

"Don't treat me like a stupid child Chan. Your clan has always hated mine. So don't come and act all innocent on me." Said Syaoran harshly.

"And what would you say if I ask you to make a treaty with mine?" Asked Yui Fung.

Syaoran wasn't able to answer because a waiter interrupted them.

"Would you like some drinks?" Asked the waiter.

"I would. How about you two?" Asked Yui Fung.

"Yes." Said Sakura before Syaoran would say anything.

The waiter gave them each a glass of wine. After that he left.

"So what do you say Li?" Asked Yui Fung.

"I need to think about it." But Yui Fung already knew that he would never accept.  

/What does this guy have in mind? I know he rather die than to have my clan and his unite. I'm going to strangle him if he doesn't stop looking at Sakura that way./ Thought Syaoran madly. He didn't like any man looking at Sakura that way. (Of course he wouldn't, what husband would like that? *-*)

Sakura was becoming a bit nervous. Syaoran was giving Yui Fung dead glares that could kill, while on the other hand Yui Fung hadn't stop starring at her.

"How about we have a toast?" Asked Yui Fung breaking the silence.

"For what?" Asked Syaoran in a cold tone.

"For having you and your wife here." Said Yui Fung cheerfully.

Sakura and Syaoran didn't believe that, but they had no choice. Just before Sakura took a sip of her drink she did what Syaoran had told her to do.

Flashback

"Sakura when your going to eat or drink something make sure that you magically check it first." Said Syaoran.

"Do you think they will try something on us?" Asked Sakura.

"I have no doubt. If you sense anything weird tell me and I'll fix things." Said Syaoran giving her a serious look.

Sakura knew by what he meant " fix " that meant that if the Chan clan tried anything on her Syaoran will sent them to their doom.

"Ok. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Said Sakura.

"Just don't forget ok." Said Syaoran.

"I wont." Said Sakura.

End of Flashback

Sakura checked it, but didn't sense anything. So she drank it. Yui Fung watch her closely. A smile appeared in his face, but no one noticed.

/That's it Sakura. Keep drinking it./ Thought Yui Fung happily.

Sakura didn't drink much because she wasn't use to drink alcohol. Syaoran also just took a sip.

"So do you like it here Mrs. Li?" Asked Yui Fung.

"Yes it's quite nice." Said Sakura.

"But you probably miss your family and friends don't you?" Asked Yui Fung.

"Of course I do. But my life is here now." Said Sakura trying to hide a bit of sadness in her tone. She miss her family and friends a lot, but like she said her life was here now.

Yui Fung smiled a bit. He knew that she was upset now, but he kept going with the questions. "Yes I know that, but it's never the same living away from your family. I mean all those years living with your father and brother have to mean something."

"Of course they do, they mean a lot." Said Sakura.

Syaoran just watched the conversation between the two. Why was Yui Fung so interested in reminding Sakura about her family? What ever it was he didn't like it.

"But I mean it's not the same being with your family and now being with a new one." Said Yui Fung.

Syaoran waited for Sakura's answer. He wanted to know how she really felt. He had never thought about her missing her family that much.

"I'm perfectly well with this family. They're all nice to me and there wonderful people. I do miss my family, but with the Li's I don't miss them that much." Said Sakura hoping that he would stop asking her this questions.

Syaoran was satisfy with this answer, but Yui Fung was not. "I know but your probably " But Syaoran cut him off.

"Haven't you heard my wife's answer already. Why are you trying to upset her?" Asked Syaoran.

"No I'm not trying to upset her. I just wanted to make a conversation." Said Yui Fung in his defense.

"Well make it of something else." Said Syaoran coldly.

Sakura just hoped that this party would end so she could leave already.

The hours went by and Sakura, Syaoran, Kero, and Yue didn't sense anything weird. Finally the party ended so they would be able to leave.

******

Later in Sakura's and Syaoran's room Syaoran had a question for Sakura, but didn't know how to ask her.

"Syaoran what's wrong?" Asked Sakura seeing how impatient her husband was.

"Nothing." Said Syaoran as he laid in the bed.

Now Sakura was positive that something was wrong now.

"Syaoran tell me what's wrong." Said Sakura.

"I said nothing." Said Syaoran as he turned around giving his back to her.

Sakura was becoming annoyed. "Syaoran this is the last time I will ask you. What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me you missed your family so much?" Asked Syaoran.

"Because I thought it wasn't that important." Said Sakura softly.

"Important to who? To me?" Asked Syaoran.

Sakura stayed silent.

"Why did you think it wasn't important to me?" Asked Syaoran.

"I didn't say that." Said Sakura.

"You didn't, but it was like you did." Said Syaoran who had turned to see her.

Sakura stayed silent again.

"Sakura I thought you trust me." Said Syaoran with a bit of hurt in his voice.

"I do." Said Sakura.

"It doesn't seem like it if you didn't tell me this." Said Syaoran annoyed.

"Syaoran please." Said Sakura.

"No, I thought you trust me but you don't. If you kept this to yourself what else will you keep from not telling me." Said Syaoran who was hurt by this.

"Syaoran I didn't tell you because I feel fine. I don't miss my family that much because I have yours." Said Sakura.

"Tell that Yui Fung." Said Syaoran softly, but annoyed.

"What?" Asked Sakura

"Nothing." Said Syaoran.

Sakura knew what he had said and this was making her mad. "Syaoran this isn't about me. This is about Yui Fung."

Now was Syaoran who stayed silent.

"You are the one who doesn't trust me. You think I'll cheat on you with him?" She asked angry.

"No but " But Sakura didn't let him finish.

"I can't believe you think of me that way." Said Sakura angry. She turned around and gave her back to him.

"Sakura wait." But she didn't listen. Syaoran knew that he had made her mad. He decided to leave things like there are and not to push them any further.
