Hello there! Thankyou for all the reviews! It was so great, they keep getting better and better, and it inspires me!

I have a simple request. I've been working on this story and there is three chapters done already. I would like it very much if you were to read it and see if it's good, then I will post the second chapter, and the third. Then so on and so forth. I, personally, like it. Let me give you a summary:

Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li have been long time best friends. three nights before going to move to Hong Kong, Sakura gets drunk because some one put alcohol in her drink. Syaoran and Sakura get in bed together(Though I don't write the lemon, there is none) and Sakura gets pregnant. Not only that, but her ex is after her, willing to do anything to kill her!

Please read it, I posted the first chapter! Also, someone wanted to know more about me, so I did write some stuff on my bio. Just ask for anything else and Mahalo(thank you) for reading!

"Oh, why hello. The last time I remember seeing you was when you were just three years old!" Yelan said warmly.

Sakura smiled. "So you met me, and you knew my parents."

"Of course! Me and Nadeshiko were best friends!" Yelan laughed at the memories her and Sakura's mother had spent together. "How is your father doing?" She asked, already knowing of Nadeshiko's death.

"Well, my father, he passed away last night."

"Oh My!" Yelan said, covering her mouth.

Sakura sighed. "But I know they're watching me right now and forever."

"I'm so sorry dear." She said, and Sakura gave a warm smile even though she knew that Yelan Li could not see her.

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault."

"If I may ask, how did it happen?"

"Well, he was in a car accident, and he was suppose to come home, and then he was shot at the hospital.........no one knows who did it." 'except me'.

"Oh."

"Anyhow, my father and mother left a will stating who I should live with. They said it'd be best to stay with you and your family. That's what it says."

"Really? It'd be a great honor!" Yelan answered, a smile being placed gracefully upon her lips.

"Really? That's so wonderful."

"Yes it is."

"Oh, yes. By the way, the funeral is in four days" Sakura told her.

"Alright I will be there." She answered. "Is it alright if I bring my children?"

"yes, it will be fine. Bring whoever you want." She said.

"Well then. I guess I'll see you in on Tuesday."

"Yes. I look forward to it."

Blaze walked to Syaoran's truck. It was sunny and hot. Actually to hot. "Hey, Syaoran?"

"Yeah?" He asked, looking at Blaze.

"I'm not finishing High school here. I'm going back to Hong Kong."

"Why?"

"I don't know. My mom said something about her finding a guy and wanting to settle in. She wants me to finish High School where I was born."

"I wish I had the same choice." Syaoran said.

"Nah, no you don't. Come on, you're suppose to ask the girl out."

They laughed slightly.

"But, would you really want to go home, after all they did to you. I mean, they abused you."

"Yeah, I know. But, I have a feeling they changed. I don't know. I guess I like staying here in Tomoeda. It's fun."

"Mmm, I know what you mean." He said, looking into the far distance. "Hey, when is that project due?"

"Monday." Syaoran said.

"How much you got done?"

"We're just finishing up the poster, and then we'll be ready for it." He answered him.

"Oh, well, I guess I'll see you at home, yeah?"

"Yeah." Syaoran said and got into his truck, driving away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Syaoran and Sakura sat in his room, finishing the project. Sakura took a break, and started to pile the mess they made.

"So," Syaoran started, finishing the last touches. "Did you find out who you're staying with?"

"Oh, yes. She's a nice lady. Well, my parents and her were best of friends." She smiled slightly. "Her name is Yelan Li."

Syaoran stopped for a minute. He looked at her to see if she was playing some sort of joke. But how could she? I mean, she didn't know his parents names.

"WHAT?!" He yelled making her back off.

"What?" She asked, looking at him, questionably.

"Yelan Li? From Hong Kong? Four daughters? One son? That Yelan Li?" He asked.

"Yes."

"No way!" He said, looking at her in disbelief.

"What are you getting at?" She asked suddenly.

"That's my friggin' mother!" He yelled, standing up.

"WHAT!?" it was her time to yell.

"'Kay, wait. Let's see. My mother is suppose to adopt you. Would that make us siblings?"

"She's not adopting me. She's just going to be taking care of me.........in Hong Kong."

Syaoran spotted the sadness in her eyes. 'so she's not going to be my sister. That's good.' "You.........don't want to go, huh?" He asked.

"No, I mean, I'll be leaving Tomoyo, and Eriol and Rika, and Chiharu, and all my other friends too. And.........I'd be leaving you.........unless you decided to come to Hong Kong too!"

"No way! Not a chance. Here, let's see. Is my mom coming?" he asked her, trying to make a plan in his mind on how he could talk to his mother about Sakura staying in Japan.

"Yeah, for the funeral." Sakura answered.

"Why don't we tell her when she comes that you will just live with me? You can finish high school here and everything. And since Blaze is moving out—"

"He is?" Sakura interrupted.

"Yes, he is. You can get his room."

"Really?!" Sakura asked.

"Yeah." He answered back and she smiled, jumping on him, hugging him tightly.

"OH THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL!"

Syaoran smiled and hugged her back. This would be wonderful. To stay in this position forever. Her in his arms, happy. He'd love it.

Though, he still wanted to know what was wrong with her. He had a feeling he knew what it was, it was kind of obvious about what he was thinking.

She pulled away with a smile adoring her pretty features. "Well, let's finish up."

SUNDAY

Sakura held the phone to her ear and let it ring. Someone picked it up. "Touya?"

"Hey, Kaijuu. How you doing?"

"Alright, I guess. Um.........I figured out what to do with the money you gave me."

"You haven't spent it yet?"

"No."

"It's been three months."

"And it's a good thing I saved it." She spoke softly, worrying her big brother.

"What's wrong, Sakura? You're not cheerful."

"Dad.........he, our dad.........he was shot, Touya. Two days ago, Friday. He's gone.........I mean, he's still here, but he's with mom now." She said, trying to explain as if Touya was a three year old.

He was silent for a moment. "So, he's really gone?" He asked.

"Yeah, Touya. He's really gone. I heard his last breath, his last word. He said he loved you Touya. I saw his eyes open and close for the last time Touya. He slipped away from me in the hospital room."

"Oh, Sakura. Please don't cry!" Touya said, trying to hush her, wishing he was hugging her right now.

"I'm trying Touya. I really am." She said.

He nodded, having his own tears falling down, but not letting her know. "Be strong, okay, baby sister? I'll be there soon. I'll catch the next available plain for it."

"Well, the funeral will be held on Wednesday. So, you don't have to come to soon. But I was wondering if you could bring some more money. 500 wont be enough."

"Alright. Sure. Where are you staying?"

"At a friends. Don't worry about me." She laughed.

"Mmm, and Kyoko?"

"I don't even care about her, Touya. She can go to hell for all I care. There's nothing from her that I want."

"Alright. I'll see you soon Kaijuu. And guess what?"

"What?"

"Tiffany's 9 months pregnant. Hopefully we can get that baby out in Japan. Baby can be born there. It's going to be a boy. His name's gonna be Cody."

"That's so nice." She giggled on the other line.

"Yeah, it is. I can't wait to be a daddy, Sakura."

"Well, I'm glad you're not having a girl, cause if you were, I'd feel sorry for her!"

"You Kaijuu!" He laughed.

"I love you, oni-chan!"

"Love ya Lil' sis. See ya soon!"

MONDAY

Sakura and Syaoran turned in the project and did their skit the first period of the day. The teacher was surprised to see them get along. And so where the other kids. Mr. Staff, who was very mean and strict, gave them an A.

Then, they went to their next class, which was math. Getting their test scores back, Sakura punched a fist in the air. "YEAH BABY LOOK WHO'S GETTING AN 'A'!" She giggled and Tomoyo laughed.

"Good job, Sakura. But I'm beating you by three points!"

"Oh, shut it!" Sakura playfully hit Tomoyo in the arm. "And you?" Sakura asked Syaoran.

"I got a 'A'" He answered and she smiled.

"Good job! You beat Tomoyo!"

"Well, what can I say. I mean, I obviously have talent in Math."

"Yeah, so you can be my tutor in Math for the next quiz!" Sakura stated.

Syaoran stopped and paled.

"And let me tell you, Syaoran, Sakura can't get math shit easily. It take her forever!" she Exaggerated on the forever part of the sentence.

"Oh, Tomoyo!" Sakura said, playfully slapping her on the arm. She looked at Syaoran and sighed. "Though, I'm afraid that Miss. Tomoyo is right. She knows the answer to everything about me and school and everyone else."

Syaoran gave a smile which made Sakura brighten.

"Syaoran! You're smiling! Did I ever tell you that when you smile, you're much more handsome."

"But Sakura, when people go all intense, they look so hot and dreamy! Don't you agree Chiharu?" Tomoyo asked the girl who was talking to her boyfriend.

Chiharu turned and smiled. "It is true, that's why I like that guy from "Lost" So much. You know the one, his sisters name is Shannon? The lifeguard guy?"

"I know what you're talking about. He is drop dead gorgeous, he just needs to shave a little more!" Tomoyo said, going into a fit of giggles.

"He can't shave, he's on a bloody island for crying out loud." Chiharu laughed, going back to her boyfriend, Takashi Yamazaki.

"I didn't say he looks ugly when he frowns, or has an emotionless face, it's just that---." She stopped and blushed, she had not realized that she was talking about the fact that she thought he was cute right in front of his face. "S-sorry. But it is true."

Syaoran took Tomoyo's advice just then. 'make it a joke, but be serious.' He was glad that Tomoyo had caught the opportunity given to him, and she turned away to talk to Chiharu about the hot lifeguard on "Lost"

"So, if it's true, would you go on a date with me?" He asked, slightly laughing, looking at her.

Her eyes widened for a minute. Was this true? Was her somewhat of a crush asking her out on a date? The one that called her names, glared at her, and made fun of her. Was he really asking her on a date. No way. He was just kidding, another game to play on her. Another joke. Something to make everyone laugh at her as she said yes to him. But, she had to know if this was real. If he was really asking her. "Are.........are you for real?"

"Yeah, I mean, why not? It'd be fun." He said, smiling again. He saw her curiosity. It was burning in her emerald green eyes. She was going to say no, going to say stop playing with her. She would think it a joke. But it wasn't. He looked into her eyes, her beautiful Emerald eyes. And even if she didn't think he was playing, she would most likely say no. Like she would say yes to an arrogant beast like him.

"Okay, yeah. That'd be okay." She said smiling.

That surprised him. He looked at her, trying to see if she was now playing the game. This was all a game. Soon he'd say okay, and everyone in this room would crack up laughing. But, still.........just maybe........."Then it's a date. Tonight? Since you're not going to school tomorrow. To make the funeral arrangements?"

"Yeah, tonight's good." She said, somewhat sadly, thinking why her father had to die.

So it wasn't a joke, she wasn't playing a joke! She actually said yes to the invitation. He saw her sadness and decided to make her laugh, or at lease try. "I'll pick you up. I know where you live."

She smiled at him, giving a little laugh, her eyes brightening like the stars at night. He smiled at her gently, knowing that he did this. "I'll be waiting."

The teacher started to pass out their homework as the bell was heard.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura held in a breath and looked at herself in the mirror. Why, why was she so worried about how she looked? It was just a simple date with Li Syaoran. Maybe he'd end up taking her to McDonalds.

Tomoyo had told her exactly what to wear, and she had lent her, her pair of sandals. Sakura thanked God that she was the same size of Tomoyo in every fashion way, they were even the same height, though Tomoyo was heavier by about two pounds, but they didn't take notice to that. Both were slim and beautiful.

She heard someone knock on her door and sighed.

"I'm not sure if this was the right room." Came a muffled voice, making her giggle. "Would there happen to be a Kinomoto Sakura in the room?"

"Yes there is. I'll be right out." She smiled and walked to the door. Slowly, she reached her trembling hand, and opened the door. Only to see his mouth open. Did she not please him? Did he not want to be seen with her?

She was wearing a green dress, one that matched her eyes and his favorite color. He loved her eyes, wasn't it a coincidence that her eyes were his favorite color.........but better? The dress hugged at her curves, not to fancy, not to casual. Perfect for the place he would take her. A simple restaurant, but elegant. Nothing like Zippys, but nothing like a place where one meal cost 100 dollars. Though, he could take her there if he wanted to.

The eye liner she had brought out her beautiful emerald eyes, and the lip gloss was put on nicely to. She had sandals that made her reach his chin. Her hair was let down. It was going in all different directions, some strands playing nicely along her cheeks. She also had on a jade bracelet, along with jade earrings, she was beautiful. Why did he ever tease her before?

Oh yeah, he was jealous.

"You look really nice." He said, making her smile brightly.

"Thankyou. You look nice yourself."

He was dressed in Khaki pants and a white plaid collar shirt. His hair was messy, but she liked it like that. He wouldn't look so hot with it straight or combed back, it matched him. He handed her a red rose and she smiled. "I know it's not your favorite, but I couldn't get my hands on cherry blossoms. I could but, I was running shirt on time."

"This is fine. Thankyou." She smiled and took his hand as he offered it.

"Right this way, m'lady." He said in a way that made him sound like his butler back home. She giggled.

"thankyou, oh-so-kind sir."

The laughed as he walked her to one of his cars. It was a corvette, his favorite car. He took a lot of time on it, but he wasn't obsessed, though, Blaze said he was once when he spent every Saturday working on it until it was perfect.

Well, I hope you liked this chapter. I thank you for the reviews that I got, but again, someone has told me that is should right faster. Please have patience. I told you about my friend going to be leaving already, and to add to that, I have a lot of family problems, (medical, emotional and so on) and after that, I've been sick. I've missed so much days of school, I lost count, I only write when I'm inspired and feeling okay. You try go for a week with no bread or starch, especially when your family decides to eat noodles for that whole week, and beef stroganoff! But, enough with my complaining! Please review! Thanks!
