Hiya minna-san! I'm so happy that I got all those reviews! You made my day! Lol. Someone pulled out a mistake I had. Yes, I do know that "Steak" is spelt S-t-e-a-k, and I had mistakenly put Stake. I do know the difference. However, sigh I'm suffering with Upper-respiratory infection AND a sinus infection. It's worst then it sounds. Here's all the medicines I have to take: Codeine, Prednisone, abuterol(inhaler), Flonase, Amoxicillin, Vitamin B(Required for inactive TB, which means that it is NOT contagious. It's just that I have the TB bug, and it's asleep, and the medicine is to keep it down!) Isoniazid, and advair. That's a lot, plus my doctor recommends me to take Aleve for my head aches which are cause by my sinus infection! I hate being sick! And that concludes that I will be bombarded with homework because I have been absent from school for who knows how long! So, I'll try my best to get the next chappie up, I'll start working on it right now, so that I can get it up sooner before my homework comes. Dun-dun-dun!
Hate or Love?
Chapter 11: Introductions
By: Sanosuke's Foxel
Sakura was in her room. She had just woken from a beautiful dream. No, not a dream. Reality. She had been with Syaoran last night. She had been asked out on a date. And she was pretty damn sure she did not dream of that kiss.
The kiss.
She smiled. It was the best thing that had happened to her for a long time now. She kept rerunning it in her head. It was magical. Everything was so perfect. She truly did love it. She looked over at her clock and saw that it was 8:30. She jumped up from bed and was about to grab some cloths for school when realization dawned on her. Oh yeah, she wasn't going to school today.
She sat on her bed and wondered if Syaoran had gone to school or stayed home. She turned her head when she saw the phone ring. She walked over to it and picked up the pink cell. "Moshi Moshi, Sakura Speaking."
"Hey Kaijuu." Touya's irritating-to her any way- voice was heard on the other line.
"Sakura no Kaijuu!" she yelled. "If you were here, I'd be pounding my heel into your bloody foot!"
She heard him chuckle and that caused even more irritation. "Guess where I am?"
"Hmm? Where?"
"On my way over to the house. We have a hotel but we wanted to make a visit."
"Nani?! Don't do that onii-cahn! I'm not at home!"
"You're not?" He asked. "You at school? Duh, I totally forgot you still go to school. How stupid." He mentally slapped himself and turned to his wife who was giggling. He grinned at her and she just smiled back.
"No, onii-chan. I'm not at home nor at school. I'm at—" Just then someone knocked on her door. "Hold on. Come in."
The door opened and Syaoran came waltzing in. "I was wondering if you'd like eggs, rice and sausage for breakfast?" He asked and she smiled.
"Sure, Syao. Thanks."
He smiled at the new nick name. "How'd you sleep?"
"Very well. Uh………thank you for the night."
"Yeah, yeah. You said that last night. It was no problem. I'll take you somewhere better next time."
"Nani? But………but that place was amazing."
"I know better places. Now hurry up, take a shower and then come down for breakfast." He smiled and walked out.
"Alright." She sighed and stared at the door, totally forgetting her brother was on the phone.
"Who was that?! Sakura! Was there a boy there!? SAKURA!"
"HOE!" She put the cell back to her ear and smiled nervously. "Sorry onni-chan. I was talking to someone."
"Who were you talking to? Who's………Syao?"
"Syaoran. Um………Li Syaoran. He's a…………a friend." She smiled, knowing he was more. "I'm staying with him. And don't go yelling at me. Because I can trust him. Do you know who Li Yelan is?"
"Yeah. Ma's old friend. Dad told me bout her." He answered, frowning at the fact that she was staying at a males house. No matter who he was.
"Well, Dad made a will. And I'm to stay with his mother. But his mother lives in Hong Kong. His mothers name is Li Yelan. We're going to talk to her so I can stay with Syaoran so I don't have to move and I can graduate here." She said, starting to change out of her pajamas.
"So, dad don't want you staying with Kyoko?" He asked.
Sakura sighed, she wished she could tell him. It was wrong to tell Tomoyo and Syaoran and not her brother, but her brother would go and murder Kyoko. And he had a baby on the way and a wife to care for. "Hai, Onni-chan. It was mom and dad's idea. Well, they made a will for us before pops even met Kyoko."
"Oh………in any case I think it's right. I don't like that Kyoko character. I swear she's out to kill someone."
'and believe me, Touya, she did.' Sakura thought in her mind, a glare replacing the smile. "Onii-chan. What hotel are you staying?" She asked him.
"Starz hotel. You know the one on Tomoeda Ave.?"
"Oh………yeah. How about I give you a visit later on. What room number?"
Touya turned to his wife. "Hey, do you remember the room number?"
She nodded. "It's 623."
"Okay. Room 623." He answered and she smiled.
"Okay, I'll visit you as soon as possible. I need to go eat breakfast. Talk to you soon. Love you, bubbai."
"Bye." He hung up the phone and turned to his darling wife he loved so much.
"So?"
"She'll visit us when she can. The funerals tomorrow. I gotta give her money to help pay. Hopefully you'll give birth soon, that way we can have the baby in Japan."
"That'd be nice." Tiffany smiled and laid a hand on Touya's thigh.
"Hey, don't do that. You're nine months. Don't turn me on."
She giggled. "I'm nine months, meaning we can have fun soon."
He smirked at her. "You're worst then me."
"I've been lugging a watermelon around for nine months. I don't have any excitement at all. I was surprised the doctor agreed to even let me fly."
"Good thing he was understandable." She nodded in agreement and they turned around and started heading to the hotel.

Sakura sat down on the dining table. She had just gotten off the phone with a priest. She rested her head on the table and sighed. This was so hard. Not the calling part, the fact that she was calling for her father. It made her think off him, and her eyes began to water.
Syaoran walked into the room and looked at her. He felt sad for her. She had no mother, no father. She was beaten and her brother lived in another country. He sighed and sat next to her. She sat up and faced him. "It's so hard." She muttered.
"I know." He answered. "I don't know completely, but I know it's hard. Why don't you let me call the church and you can go visit your brother. After that I'll call you on your cell. Then I need to head off to the hotel to meet my family. You can meet me there."
"What hotel?" She asked, leaning into his chest. He hugged her and smiled.
"Starz Hotel. Some new one on Tomoeda Ave."
"That's where my brother is." She said, looking up at him. He smiled and gave her a small peck on the lips. "Fine. Go get some sleep instead. I'll finish this up for you and then I'll get ready. I'll wake you up and we can head to the hotel together. Deal?"
"Deal. But I feel bad making you do the work. After all, it's my dad that's………" She trailed off. He kissed her forehead.
"Not to worry. I'm here to help. I have nothing better to do." He stood up with her and hugged her. "Now go get some sleep, I'll wake you soon."
She nodded and left to go upstairs.
Syaoran sighed as he sat down on the table and looked at all her notes. He picked up the phone and started to dial.

"I can't wait to see our little brother!" Feimei practically screamed as they entered the hotel room.
Yelan looked to the neighbors that were staring with wide eyes. There was a women with blonde hair to her shoulder blades, going every which way. Her eyes reminded her much of her sons eyes. Very nice shade of amber. She was short, maybe around 5'4". She had a warm smile on and looked as if she was ready to give birth. "Uh………sorry."
The pregnant women smiled. "It's not a problem. I'd probably be doing the same thing if I wasn't pregnant. We're here to see my sister-in-law."
"Really? Well that's great." She smiled. "How far along are you?"
"Nine months. I'm hoping to give birth here in Japan." She admitted. "It's where me and my husband here were born and raised."
"Oh. My son lives here by himself. He's a Senior at Tomoeda High."
"Really?" The girl moved closer, followed by her husband.
"Yes."
"So does our sister. She's a senior also."
"If I might ask, you look vaguely familiar." She looked at the man and he smiled.
"I could say the same. My names Kinomoto Touya and this is Kinomoto Tiffany." Touya said, shaking her hand.
"Kinomoto? Ah, you must be Nadeshiko and Fujitaka's oldest child. I'm Li Yelan. Your sister must be Sakura."
"Yeah, that's her." He answered. "Are you here for the funeral?"
"Actually yes. But I also need to pick Sakura up. She's going to be living with us. Your parent's will." She said.
"Yeah, Sakura told me about that. She said she was living with your---" They were interrupted by loud shouts.
"Mama! Syaoran just called! He's going to come here in two hours!" They yelled and then looked at the pretty girl in front of them.
Fuutie dashed and patted her stomach. "OMG! You're pregnant but still small. You must be only four months!"
Tiffany blushed. "N-no, actually I'm nine." She said.
"Oh! Do you know if it'll be a boy or a girl?" Xiefe asked.
"A boy." Touya said proudly.
"Really? Do you have a name?"
"Not really. We're still debating on it. My sister wants to help out." Touya answered.
"We have such a cute and such a handsome neighbor! Yaya!" They cried in glee.
"Girls. You're making such a commotion!" Yelan raised her voice but not to much. "Stop bothering them. I'm sure the poor women needs some rest."
The girl smiled and leaned against Touya's chest. "I am a bit drowsy. I think I will get some rest. It was nice meeting you and I can't wait to see you again." She smiled.
"Same here. Rest good, we all have a hard day tomorrow." Yelan said and then bid them good bye.

Sakura was now dressed and looking at herself in the mirror. She had black skirt that went to her thighs and a red spaghetti strap that stopped right below her belly button. It was her normal, every day outfit that she would where when going out with friends. Her hair was in a messy bun, a plastic chop-stick going through it, and she had put on some lip gloss just so her lips wouldn't dry out.
She put on her cute red slippers and opened her door. She saw Syaoran heading down the steps. He turned and smiled. "Ready?"
"Yeah." She answered and walked down to meet him. They walked out of the house and he opened the door for her to get into the car.
He drove slowly to the Hotel. "So, it's just a coincidence that my family is in the same hotel as your brother."
"I know." She giggled slightly and turned to him. Her face became a little more sad. "You know, I'm really happy that I get to meet your family and see my brother and everything, but I wish it was on better terms. You know, I wish my father was here, and we were all coming together for a family and friend get together………instead of a funeral."
"Hey, Saku, I know it's hard, but everything will get better after this. You have Tomoyo and Eriol, your brother and my family." He pulled into a parking spot at the hotel and took off his seat belt, leaning forward to her. "And you have me." He said, and lightly pressed his lips against hers. Sakura felt passion come over and she smiled.
"If my brother was to see me right now, he'd flip." She giggled and hugged him. "Thank you Syaoran. For being here for me."
"Anytime." He smiled and opened his door, as she followed in pursuit. He took hold of her hand as they walked into the hotel and headed for the elevator. Syaoran pressed the '6' button and looked at Sakura. "What number?"
"6." She stated and he laughed. "Just to much of a coincidence. Same hotel, same floor number." He shook his head and let go of her hand, putting it around her shoulders as people filed in. She leaned her head against his shoulder for a short minute before their floor came and they walked out. "So what room?"
"623."
"Okay, now I'm scared." He looked at her.
"Why, what's your mom's room number?"
"624." He answered her and she giggled.
"We're meant to be, see, Kami-sama is even putting our families next to each other." They both laughed and walked down the aisles to the rooms.
"So, Wanna go to your brothers room first or mine?"
"Why don't we have everyone outside so we can meet each other and get aquatinted?"
"Alright. So I'll get my mom and my sisters, and you get your brother and his wife."
"Okay." She nodded and stopped at the door as he kept walking. "Wait!" She called and he stopped. He turned around and smiled.
"What's up?"
"Mmm." She walked towards him and kissed him. "Good luck for when you have to meet my brother."
"Oh? Is that it?" He drew her in his arms and kissed her more deeply. Slowly, he let go and smiled. "That's more like it."
She giggled and hugged him. "Don't let me brother get to you, he's a bit over protective."
"Alright. I wont. Don't let my sisters scare you………they scare me."
They laughed and walked to the rooms. Sakura knocked on her door and Tiffany opened it. "SAKURA!" Tiffany hugged her the best she could because of her tummy.
"Tiffany! I've missed you!" She hugged her back, when Touya came out.
"Hey Kaijuu."
"Sakura no Kaijuu!" She yelled and slammed her foot on his.
"OW! Don't do that!" He yelled, holding his foot.
Tiffany and Sakura giggled. "You deserved it."
Suddenly a burst of cheers where heard. "LITTLE BROTHER!" They exclaimed. Sakura turned to see four girls on the ground and Syaoran no where in sight. Sakura laughed nervously.
"Ah………come on! Get off!" She heard Syaoran's muffled cries. She giggled and watched as a women came walking out.
"Girls. You will make a scene!" She said. "Get off him Xaio Lang!" She ordered them and they all got off, pouting. Syaoran was relieved and he stood up, dusting himself off.
He looked up and faced his mother. Yelan smiled at him. "I've missed you, Syaoran." She spoke softly.
"I've missed you too, mom." He smiled and hugged her, something that hasn't happened in who knows how long. She hugged him back tightly and closed her eyes. Pulling away, she smiled. "You've grown so well! Look, you're taller then me by so much, and you're just………wonderful." She smiled. "You remind me of your father so much, I love you for that and for yourself."
Syaoran remembered a time when he had thought she had hated him for that reason. He smiled and then looked over at Sakura. Sakura smiled at him. "Oh, Mom. I'd like you to meet Kinomoto Sakura. You talked to her on the phone. Sakura, this is My mother, Li Yelan."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Li-san!"
"Call me aunty for heavens sake, child!" She smiled and hugged Sakura.
"Sakura, this is my sisters. Feimei, Fuutie, Fanren, and Xiefa. This is Sakura." Syaoran introduced and next thing he knew Sakura was tackled by his sisters. "MOM! Tell them get off her!"
"Girls! Stop doing that!"
"but she is SO adorable!" They gushed, tugging at her hair, cheeks, arms, what ever was appropriate for them to reach.
"Stop!" Syaoran yelled and they pulled away, pouting once again. Syaoran sighed and then looked at the look Sakura gave him of total surprise.
"Um………yeah, this is my brother, Kinomoto Touya and my sister-in-law Kinomoto Tiffany."
Syaoran said his hello while taking up a glaring competition with Touya, as Yelan smiled. "We have already met. Have we not?"
"Yes, we have." Tiffany replied.
"Now that we are all introduced, why don't we head somewhere for dinner?" Syaoran suggested and they all nodded.
"Alright, let's go into our rooms and get ready. Me and Syaoran will meet you guys downstairs at the lobby. Mmm………do you all have cars?"
"We do." Tiffany stated and Yelan nodded.
"We do as well. "We'll meet you two down there. See ya in a bit."
They all went into their respected rooms and Sakura and Syaoran headed down to the lobby.
Hello once again! Thank you once again for all the reviews. I hope you all enjoyed. The funeral should come either in the next chapter or the one after that. Blaze also leaves in 2 or 3 chapters, and we go back to Kyoko's evilness. That's right, I did not forget about her. How could I, she's the villain! Lol. I have a whole thing cooked up for her part. Now that Syaoran and Sakura are together, how long will it take for them to realize they LOVE each other! What if they don't?! OMG! What if they break up and hate each other and never want to see each other and then Sakura goes into depression and jumps off a bridge and kills herself?………Alright, I went a little overboard. Sorry. NO! That will NOT happen! I'd hate that! I'd get so much flames! Shakes head How could I even think that of poor Sakura? I'm horrible!
Lol, well, please review and I hoped you enjoyed! ALOHA!
