Final Fantasy

Chapter 1

Meetings and Discoveries

6 years later………………………………

     A woman rose up in her bed when she heard fighting on the other side of the house, she groaned in frustration and got up to see what the problem was.

     "……Jin-Su give me back my teddy bear!!!"

     "Make me!!!"

     "I'm gonna tell Mom!!!"

     "Go to her and cry!!!  Cry, baby, cry!!!!"

     "SHUT UP!!!!"

     "Don't yell at me!!!!

     "MMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!"

     The women opened her door to see her daughter and her son fighting…again.  She stood by the door and watched as they wrestled for the teddy bear.  Her daughter had short honey color hair and emerald eyes, while her son has dark brown hair and brown eyes. She smiled as she remembered when they were born, it was a happy day and a sad day because she knew they would never know who their father was.  And that was what made her mad, she knew it wasn't her fault…it was his!!!!  "Hey!!!," she said to make them stop fighting, "what's going on in here.  Why is there yelling?"

     The girl looked at her mother.  "Jin-Su took my bear and wouldn't give it back!!!"

     "Nuh-uh, you left it in my room so now it belongs to me."

     "Mom tell him to give me my bear back!!!"

     "Tell her to stop being such a brat!!!"

     Before she could open her mouth the doorbell rang, she didn't expect company.  She turned and went to the door and looked through the peek hole.  "Who is it?" she asked standing on her tippy toes.

     "Who else do you think, squirt." Came a gruff reply.

     She yanked the door open and their stood a man with black hair and blue eyes, with his family.  "Touya!!!" she exclaimed giving him a bear hug and he hugged her back.

     "Good to see you two squirt."  When they finally let go, she also gave a hug to her sister-in-law and niece and nephews a hug.

     "Ayane, its good to see you and the kids again." She said as they drank tea and Touya was out playing with the kids.

     "Likewise Sakura.  I see that Jin-Su and Kasumi was grown up these past years, but tell me how are you doing?"

     "What do you mean I'm fine." Sakura said avoiding Ayane's eyes.

     "Really?"

     "……No."

     "Oh Sakura, you've done a wonderful job raising the kids and having a great job but don't you think its time to tell him th-"

     "No.  He doesn't deserve to know…not know anyways."

     "But don't your kids deserve to know the truth?"

     "Uncle Touya, you're the best!!!" Kasumi exclaimed as Torie pushed her higher in the swing.

     "Daddy!!!  Push me!!!" exclaimed the girl with long black hair and blue eyes.  Torie went over to her and pushed her too.  They both squealed in delight.  Touya looked over to see what the boys were doing and saw that they were practicing, fighting.

     "Uncle Touya!!!"

     "Daddy!!!"

     "I'll be right back, let me go check on the boys?" he said before jogging off.

     Kasumi and the girl next to her sighed.  "Boys." Muttered the girl.

     "For real." Kasumi agreed.

     "What's it like sharing your birthday with your brother?"

     "Annoying.  Very, very, annoying.  He keeps calling me a brat."

     "When's your birthday again?"

     "Duh Koma, its next week."

     Koma twirled her black hair around her finger and made an annoyed look with her face, which made Kasumi laugh.  Koma was short for Nakoma and she was four years older than Kasumi.  She has two brothers and their names are Hayate and Ryu.  Even though she was the only girl, they were all pretty close.

     "Well what do you want for your birthday?" asked Nakoma.

     "Um…I dunno.  I guess a necklace or a stationary."

     "Well I'll get you something special."

     Hayate, Ryu and Jin-Su were practicing moves on each other that they didn't know Touya was there watching them.  "Alright enough.  Remember what happened last when you did this, one of you ended up bruised." When he said that he shot a quick glance at Jin-Su who had an angry face.  He admits he did bruise one of them, but it was an accident.

     "Yes Father." The two boys said and decided to play with their motor control cars, but Jin-Su still had an angry face.

     "Jin-Su don't make me tell you again.  No more play fighting." He said his face set in a glare as well.

     "Fine." Was all he said and trudged over to Hayate and Ryu.

     'He has the same attitude as that Chinese brat and looks the same as well.  Li got what he deserved, on not knowing that he had kids of his own.  Serves him right on hurting Sakura.' Touya thought as he headed towards Sakura and Ayane.

     "………he has to know, even if you hate him so much he still has to know."

     "If I told him he would want to be part of my life again, and I don't want that."

     "He still loves you."

     "He should have thought about that before he kissed that other woman."

     "What are you two talking about?" asked Touya sitting beside his wife.

     Ayane looked at him then back at Sakura.  "Nothing important." Sakura answered.

     "Really?"

     "Yeah, really."

     "Excuse me I need to use the bathroom." Ayane said getting up and gave her Touya a peck on the cheek.

     "Alright Sakura, what were you two really talking about?" he asked giving her a stern look.

     Instead of going to the bathroom, Ayane went to the kitchen and picked up the phone dialing a number.

     She was about to hang up on the fifth ring until somebody picked up.  "Hello, Li Residence?"

     "Hi Wei, is Meilin there?"

     "Ah, Miss Avalon no she is not here but Miss Hiragizawa is.  Would you like to talk to her?"

     "Yes please."

     "Just a moment.  Miss Hiragizawa, there is someone that wants to speak to you."

     There was shuffling until she said hello.  "Tomoyo, its me Ayane."

     "Oh.  Hello Ayane, what an unexpected call…from you.  What do you need?  Cash, money….Eriol?"

     Ayane sighed.  "I knew this would happen.  I have so important news for you-"

     "That's a surprise."

     "I'm here with her."

     "Who?"

     "Sakura."

     "You know she means the best, she doesn't want to see you suffer.  Especially by that Chinese brat."

     "Touya me and the kids are fine as it is."

     "That's a damn lie and you know it.  Sakura you need to get out and move on."

     "But I have-"

     "No you haven't.  I want you to go out with a friend of mine and that's somebody I can trust."

     "Touya-"

     "You'll meat him on Sunday at noon, at the Konniwa Café.  Please Sakura, if not for you then do it for me."

     "……Okay."

     "She's……she's there let me talk to her!!!!"

     "I'm afraid I can't."

     "What do you mean you can't!!!  She's my long lost best friend and I want to talk to her right now!!!!"

     "No.  If you want to talk to her, do it face to face."

     "I dunno where she lives."

     "I'll tell you, but she doesn't live alone."

     "Huh?  What do you mean?  She's married to someone else!!!"

     "No I mean she has kids."

     "What's his name?"

     "Juan Konniwa.  Please Sakura?"

     "I'll think about it, that's the best answer I can give you right now."

     "Okay see you soon."

     "Not a word to Sakura, don't tell her yet that I'm coming."

     "I won't."

     "Okay, bye."

     "Bye."

     Ayane hung up the phone wondering if she did a good thing or a bad thing.  'Of course I did the right thing, they should know that she's fine……but why do I feel like I did a bad thing?'

     It was ten at night when they all said their good-byes.  "Oh take care you hear." Ayane said as she gave Sakura one last hug and then left.  Sakura sighed at the quietness and went to the kitchen to finish cleaning it.  As she scrubbed the plates memories of her and Syaoran came flashing into her mind, her vision got blurry and she accidentally dropped the plate and it shattered as it hit the floor.  She bent down to puck it up but pulled back when she got poked in her hand.  She didn't even notice that Jin-Su came into the kitchen.  "Mom?" he asked kneeling in front of her and looking at her hand.  "Are you okay?"

     "Yeah Jin, I'm fine.  Let me just pick this up and then go to bed."

     Jin-Su shook his head and took her hand leading her to the couch.  "I'll pick it up and you can go to sleep, you look tired."

     "Thanks." She said lying down on the couch and closing her eyes.

     Jin-Su went to pick up the shattered pieces and when he got a blanket from his room and placed it on top of her.  'Oh Mom, I wish that you can be happy.' He thought before heading to bed himself.

**************(Mean's other country)**********************

     "She told you…that Sakura lived there?" asked Meilin not believing what she just heard.

     Madison nodded and said, "Yup.  She told me that she lives in a big house and that…she has kids…"

     "WHAT!!!!" they all exclaimed.

     "Yeah I know, I felt exactly the same."

     "Well we should go see her, to see how she and her children are holding up.  Its going to be weird though."

     "Why is that?" asked Meilin.

     "Well…after all these years, what would she do if we shown up on her doorstep?"

     "And what about Syaoran?"

     "We can't tell him he has kids yet…he'll have to find out for himself."

     "So when do we leave."

     "Tomorrow and we should get there the next day, late afternoon."

     "Ok-"

     "What's going on here?" said a angry voice and when they all turned to see who it was, it was Syaoran.  "Well?"

     "Syaoran you better sit down because we have something to tell you."
