Hello everyone!!
I'm so very sorry for keeping all of you guys waiting for such a long time!
You see my computer was broken and I couldn't log on at school...my school
doesn't allow me to go on to Fanfiction.net that's why I couldn't finish or
continue any of my stories! But luckily I finally got the computer fixed!
I have changed the title from 'forever in love with you' to 'what took you so long?' I hope you enjoy the VERY late update!

What took you so long? "Talking"
'Thinking'
{E/R - ME talking}
"I love her for Kama's sake!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
pale eyelids began to flutter in wake, when finally emerald pools managed to slip out. Sakura scanned her very limited surrounding, the room wasn't that big but it had a large and homey feeling to it. The bed was in the middle of the room, sandwiched between two bed side tables, in the far corner there was a changing bored, next to it there was an old Victorian dressing table, and near the window there was a large furnished couch with a tiny coffee table in front of it.
"where am I?" Sakura said through her dry throat.. "water" she croaks. "Sakura-sama you feel better?" asked a soft male voice handing her the glass of water he'd just poured out. After drinking the very last drop she carefully placed the glass on the table and smiled.
"Much better Shang" she replied closing her eyes and leaned deeper into the bed, a tiny smile playing on her lips... 'sounds so much like Syaoran, I only wished that he'd told her about her..but it doesn't matter I have something special in my heart that no one can take away.' "I get Pa-Pa" Shang's voice interrupted her thoughts making Sakura jerk open her eyes, the small smile fading fast from her face. {E/R- like a Zertik!} "no!" she cried, Sakura's sudden outburst caused Shang, who was heading to the door, stop in his tracks. "NO, Shang come back I don't want to see your father, not right now okay?" Sakura whispered noticing that a big lump had found itself into the bottom of her throat.
"But Sakura-sama, Pa-Pa worried tell Shang get him when you wake" "Listen Shang when you daddy comes back tell him I didn't wake up okay? His got to keep in good health to take care of you and the family." Her voice gone husky with pain.
Shang nodded his head as if he understood. Sakura smiled lovingly at the boy and closed her eyes. A small gust of wind blew into the room and another male presence could be felt. Sakura closed her eyes tight her heart began to pound faster than normal, her throat became dry and the lump had turned 3 times bigger, causing difficulty with breathing her mouth began to feel dry and she started to get cold.
"Did she wake up son?" Syaoran's voice was husky and warm..causing Sakura to love him more then ever. Sakura's heart skipped a beat as she heard the love and worry in his voice.
"No" Shang mumbled covering his eyes with his messy brown bangs, and then quickly changing the subject he said in a happier voice "did you get it Pa- Pa? Get it for me?" a soft chuckle echoed in the room, Sakura's heart began to beat faster than the average speed. Sakura willed herself to stay where she was instead of flinging her arms around his neck.
"Yes son, your favorite, pork bun and lemon tea" he replied softly warm amber eyes shined in happiness. "Wai! Thank you Pa-Pa!" Syaoran flinched as he heard the word 'wai' echo in his head over and over 'oh kama, what have I done?' he thought sadly 'all these years was hell without her,' Syaoran noticed that he was trembling and soaked in cold sweat. He looked at Sakura, his heat longed for her, his every bone, nerve, muscle, every fiber longed for her, needed her, his heart ached so badly he thought it was going to burst with pain. When he saw her at the airport that morning with his family, he wanted to run to her, hug and kiss all the pain he's caused, to heal her broken heart... 'I must not cry' he told himself repeatly as his eyes began to mist over in unfallen tears. 'men don't cry... "Men don't cry" not noticing that he had said that out loud, he heard a small lifeless chuckle, a laugh so cold it would have frozen him to the spot. "you dint' change much at all did you [Li] still the same sexiest person."
Syaoran cringed 'crap' he thought, "your awake" "yes I am, what else did you want me to do?" she asked her emerald eyes had gone dull over these last few years 'what happened to you Sakura?' "sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud" "Hmm..you've been very sorry lately...why don't you start backing up you words with some action?" came the icy reply. "Sakura, it was my mother she told me to-" "more lies Li?" "there not lies!" "whatever you say," Sakura said sarcastically. "don't do that" "do what?" "don't be sarcastic, it doesn't' suit you" "don't tell me what to do and not what to do, your nothing to me!"
'Oh god' he could feel his heart breaking into tiny little pieces 'nothing to me..' 'how can she say something like that?' "but you're something to me!" he cried out anguish written all over his face. Not known to any one in the room, 7 pairs of ears were listening into the conversation "poor Li- Kun" whispered Tomoyo her amethyst eyes began to swell up with tears. Eriol gently squeezed her hand reassuringly "he'll be okay Tomoyo, he's a fighter" Eriol whispered into her ear, after getting a nod, he smiled and hissed her softly on the head. "at a girl"
"Shang where is everybody?" they heard Sakura say.
"Andrew don't lean on the door too hard it might-" Meng started so warn..but it was too late...Andrew fell through the door and landed on the floor. "Oh hi-hi guys!" Andrew mumbled putting his hand be hide his head...mumbling understandable words. Meng walked in the room fuming with rage. "I told you not to lean on the door to hard you big dummy!" Meng yelled dragging him out by the ear... "we're going to er...leave now!" Meng said smiling embarrassingly at the 3.
"but I want to stay!" Andrew said mimicking a little boy's voice. "we're going!" Meng yelled. "But-But..." "we're-" Meng stopped when she heard a little giggle. She turned and smiled...Sakura was laughing again, it's been so long since she'd seen that smile and she cried in joy. "Meng you okay?" Andrew asked wrapping his arms around her. Tomoyo ran in with Eriol, Meilin and Buddy. "Sakura!" Meilin yelled running up to her and wrapping her arms around Sakura's small neck. "er...Meilin.air..air" Sakura said but Meilin was too happy to notice "Meilin! Give Sakura air!" Buddy yelled trying to pry open Meilin's arms around Sakura's neck. Meilin smiled and giggled "sorry about that Sakura..I was just so happy to hear that beautiful laugh of yours again!"
"Ah! So the lovely angel and finally awoken from her sleep" someone said, everyone turned around to the door and there stood Sheen Tang, his silver eyes shining happily.
Syaoran growled low in his throat..he should have punched Sheen in the face when he had the chance. If Sakura falls for sheen, Syaoran was running the risk of losing her. 'how can you lose what you don't have in the first place Li?' 'You just wait and see.I'll maker him look like a goof ball!'
Sakura smiled at Sheen.. "hello Sheen so happy to meet you once again aye?" Sheen turned pink slightly putting a hand be hide his brown hair..yeah I guess Sakura.I was..er.wondering.you're absolutely fine.and well my shift ends in half an hour and I was wondering if..you'd like to have dinner with me" Sheen said turning redder and redder as each word poured out of his mouth. "Awwwww.." The girls all signed in unison...'how sweet of him'
"Come on son..lets go" Syaoran whispered into his son's ear..pulling him softly by the arm, about to protest to his dad Shang nodded his head when he saw the longing look on Syaoran's face. "okay" Shang said and began to follow his dad out.
Syaoran began to feel angry and sad at the same time..but the anger and sadness didn't stay long...instead it was washed away by this feeling in his heart. A whisper, a flutter.a desperate cry for help. Syaoran slowly walked out catching a lat glance at the happy girl...smiling like old times.
"why don't you stay Shang? I know you want to see how Sakura is doing..I'll pick you up at her house okay?" Shang said to his son, smiling softly but sadly. He knew that Shang had fallen for Sakura's kindness and he didn't want to take that away from him.."off you go" he said pushing Shang gently back into the door.."don't worry about me I'll be okay" he said when Shang's face began to frown.
When Shang had walked slowly back in Syaoran stood up and ran...he ran down the hallway his heart beating harder at the thought of losing Sakura. Swish...Syaoran felt that ever-present ache in the center of his chest, choosing that moment to score another blow by slam dunking it's way to the pit of his stomach. Syaoran stopped, his chest heaving up and down, trying to circulate the oxygen into his lungs.
Once outside, he stopped and ranked a shaky hand through his hair...'why does kama put his through so much pain, what does he want me to do? Does...he want Sakura to die? Like she almost did today? To put me through the same pain that Sakura had been through? Is that it? Then he heard his mother's voice inside his head 'my son..follow your hear...don't do things you'll later regret.I'm so sorry for pushing you to getting married...I didn't know...forgive me' funny enough..he began to cry, he was in the park by himself by now no one was around 'nothing I do later will be worst than breaking her heart, nothing I do later will put her through that much pain. I'll never hold her again, I'll never kiss her again, and I'll never hear her voice or laughter. I love her damn it! I lover her...nothing I ever do will stop me from loving her, nothing I do will heal the pain!' and for the first time he was frighten...really frighten..that his life and happiness could be pain and death for another..
