I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura or anything Clamp.
I looked over this old story today, and I thought about continuing my Syaoran based story. I love the feeling of this perspective, but I don't know if this add on does it justice. If it doesn't seem to fit, then I'll just remove it. Please let me know what you think (R&R).

I stare at the picture of the beautiful cherry blossom that came to love me just because I was too stubborn for my own good. Tomoyo had finally managed to convince Sakura that she was the only one beautiful enough to model her clothes, and she'd recently accepted the position after finishing college. I had also finished college with a degree in business, and ran the Li clan from her in Japan. Since I could travel to take care of business whenever I needed, they had decided to drop the argument, just as I had made them drop the argument about the Clow cards.
I hadn't mentioned to Sakura, but recently Eriol called me. I was worried, he didn't tend to call if he wanted to talk; he usually reserved that for his frequent visits. It worried me, but I heard him out.
"Syaoran, I think that the cards are meant to be passed to your child. I've been having enough premonitions to worry Tomoyo. I think it's time that you sealed the Sakura cards. They must be in stasis until the child is old enough to capture the cards and prove his or her worthiness." I didn't like the sound of this. Those cards are the only things that protected Sakura from the hordes of enemies the Clow Reed seemed to have made.
"Eriol, I don't really want my child going through that sort of danger. Anyway, Sakura's not even pregnant yet. We're also still fighting off Clow Reed's old enemies, and those who don't like that I'm in power of the Li clan." I restrained myself from yelling at my old friend as I would have in the past.
Eriol sighed through the receiver, "I know. Maybe I'm wrong. There's a good possibility that the cards will go to sleep by themselves when it's time for a new card captor. Maybe it's all just another trick by someone trying to get at you. I'll try to do some research. Don't worry Sakura with it though."
I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me. "I understand. I think it's a trick, because it some of the research I've done, it said the cards were only released at death. Sakura's very powerful now, and think that the cards will respond to her kin as well to her now."
Eriol paused, "That's right. I'm sure you're right. I guess I've been overworked. Perhaps it has another meaning anyway." He laughed nervously. "I'm sorry to have worried you like that. I just felt uneasy not mentioning it to you."
I smiled, realizing that he had only our best interests at heart, even if he was annoying at times, "I understand, Eriol. I'll keep an eye out for anything strange. By the way, when are you and Tomoyo getting married? After all, Sakura and I have been married for over a month now."
His stuttering was only more pronounced after a few moments of silence, "H- how did you know? Did Tomoyo... No."
I laughed long and hard, "Did you really think that you were being subtle by timing all of your visits when Tomoyo was over? Or going to Tomoyo's clothing shows?" I smiled, "It's okay, buddy. I won't tell, but you'd better. She won't wait forever."
Eriol seemed to have regained his composure, "Well, it's not often you're one up on me. Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to you later. By the way, have you noticed something different about Sakura?"
I blinked and thought about it. "Not really," I replied, puzzled by this question. Surely I'd be the first to notice anything different.
"Alright. Tomoyo had just mentioned that Sakura was up to somethi..."
I interrupted, "Speaking of which, I'm late! I'm supposed to meet her at the dinner with Tomoyo! Later Eriol!" Click. I tossed the phone on the hook as I grabbed a jacket and shrugged it on. I fumbled with the keys to lock the door and ran to my motorcycle on the street outside of our apartment building. Eight minutes to get there. I'd better take the back roads.

Well, it looks like Syaoran's in a hurry, and that there's romance in the air. What do you think that Sakura's up to?
