Chapter Seventeen

:--------------------------------:

Sakura

Like she had promised she returned in time to have lunch with her family. When she entered she noticed that her son had the largest smile on his cheeky little face, "What are you so happy about?" Sakura asked him. Kenji's smile grew wider, "Grandpa says I'm going to go to the school you went to Mommy!" He started to jump up and down around the house.

Her father looked at her, "He seems to really look up to you." Sakura nodded her head, "I'm not sure I'm a good role model though." Her father touched her shoulder gently, "Sure you are sweetheart. It just hasn't really been your time to shine." The phone rang interrupting their conversation. Sakura quickly went to get it, "Hello?" "Hey Saku!" a genki voice called out.

"Mia!" Sakura said happily clutching the phone closer, "What do you need?" She could hear Kaori talking in the background but didn't say anything. "Well, me and Hotohori are going to go to Paris for our honeymoon. So Kaori decided to go and visit you! Is that okay?" Sakura squealed, "I would love it if Kaori came over to visit!" She could hear Miaka giggling on the other side, "Good, good, oh and Cindy is taking care of your shop, and says you shouldn't worry about it."

Sakura sighed, she had forgotten all about it. "Tell Cindy thanks, and that she's definitely getting a raise!" Miaka giggled again, "Okie dokie! Well take care sweetie okay? I'm going to pack with Kay now!" Sakura smiled, "Okay, call me and tell me again before she comes." The phone line was disconnected.

"Who was it?" her father asked seeing her happy face. "It was Miaka and Kaori, Miaka's going on her honeymoon and wanted to know if Kaori could visit." Her father nodded, "It would be nice to see Kaori again." Sakura nodded happily, "Yep I can't wait to see her!"

Syaoran

He rushed around the room packing all his stuff. It was in the middle of the night, but he didn't care. He wanted to leave early in the morning and no one was going to stop him. He looked at the clock on his counter it read 3:10am. He still had 1 hour until his flight. He had to thank Takashi for that. If it weren't for his friend, he wouldn't be able to book a flight without his mother knowing.

He placed his last article of clothing in and dropped it out the window. He couldn't go out through the front, if would have been too much of a chore to go through everyone. So out the window it was, and out there Takashi was waiting. He dropped the rope that Takashi had 'accidentally' left there this morning.

He swiftly climbed down the rope, thankful for all the training his father had given him when he was younger. When he reached the bottom he saw Takashi growling at him. "You could've aimed your bag elsewhere!" he yelled rubbing on a red mark on his head. Syaoran sweatdropped, "Sorry Tak." Takashi glared at him once more and walked away, "Come on hurry, Chi is getting impatient."

Syaoran nodded grabbing his stuff; Chiharu was going to go with him to stop suspicions. They entered Takashi's royal blue mini van. "Nice…" Syaoran commented looking at the black leather. Takashi nodded his head, "For when we get a baby." Syaoran laughed, "Like you guys will." Chiharu smacked him on the head, "Do not curse us! We will get a child, right Tak?" Takashi nodded his head, "Of course Chi," he said lovingly.

Chiharu smirked, "See!" Syaoran laughed at the couple, but deep inside he felt so jealous of them. He looked outside; the moon was shining brightly above them. The stars sparkled brightly also, he looked at them, they reminded him so much of Sakura, she was like the star in his life, the light.

The drive to the airport consisted of Chiharu and Takashi arguing about her leaving. Syaoran tuned them out when he realized that a fight was starting. It always turned out the same, Chiharu would win the fight and Takashi would always be begging for forgiveness.

He continued staring outside, loving the sight of the night sky. He didn't even realize it when the car had stopped. Chiharu was looking at him worriedly, "Are you okay Syao?" Syaoran nodded his head and exited the car. They went through the check in, and Takashi left them. The two entered the plane acting like a 'couple.'

"Wake me when we get there," Chiharu said yawning since it was still early in the morning. Syaoran nodded while looking out the window again. The plane rose up into the air, all the buildings becoming nothing but little spots. He wondered what Sakura was doing right now, what his mother is thinking, and what he was going to do.

Sakura

She had received the phone call from Miaka that things were going to go ahead of time and that Kaori was coming now. Sakura rubbed her temples feeling a headache coming along. She had a really bad feeling about going to the airport this morning. But decided otherwise seeing as it was just her friend.

She placed on a black trench coat and called from the bottom of the stairs, "Daddy! Kenji, come on we're going!" Fujitaka walked down the stairs slowly, "I'll just wait for you here darling, I'm not feeling too good." Sakura looked at him worriedly, "Do you want me to stay?" Fujitaka shook his head, "No, no I'll be fine." Sakura nodded while waiting for her son to come down.

She saw his messy brown hair bounce down the stairs happily, "Yay! I get to see Auntie Kaori again!" the little boy cheered. Sakura giggled at his cuteness, "Yep, come on let's go, we wouldn't want Auntie Kay to wait." Kenji nodded his head and took Sakura's hand and dragged her out the door.

When they arrived at the airport they went to the arrivals section to look for Kaori. Sakura noticed that a few planes had arrived at the same time. She hoped that it wouldn't take Kaori too long to come out, she hated crowded places.

She waited while holding tightly onto Kenji's hand. She noticed Kaori and immediately waved her over momentary letting go of Kenji. Kaori smiled and quickly ran towards her friend. Kaori looked around and commented softly, "Came by your self?" Sakura shook her head, "Of course not, Kenji's here," she looked downwards to where her son was, and noticed he was no longer there.

Sakura frantically looked around trying to find him, "Kenji!" she yelled out hoping she didn't lose him. Kaori touched her shoulder gently, "Don't worry we'll find him." Sakura nodded her head unconvinced. The two friends looked around the crowds trying to find him. "Where is he?" Sakura asked desperately. Kaori saw his hair and quickly pointed towards a little boy, "Isn't that him?" Sakura looked to where she was pointing, she ran in between the crowds.

"Kenji!" Sakura screamed. "Mommy!" Kenji said turning around. Sakura quickly ran until he was in her arms, "Never ever run away from mommy again!" she said while crying in his arms. A shadow appeared over her and a deep gruff voice said, "Shouldn't you be watching our son?" Sakura looked up, teary eyed from earlier.

"S-S-Syaoran?" Sakura said scared. Syaoran touched her check gently, "Sakura…" he said tenderly. More tears flowed down her soft cheeks; she didn't know what to do. She was about to turn around when Syaoran grabbed her hand. "Saku please let me explain." Sakura looked at him unsure, but decided to listen, "What do you have to say Syaoran?"

Syaoran looked deep into her eyes, "I didn't make the engagement, hell I didn't even know of it until that night. My mother planned everything. I'm really sorry Sakura, please let me make it up to you." Sakura looked at his adorable little face; she really wanted to forgive him. Her heart ached for him, his touch, and his voice. But she turned away and took Kenji's hand, "I don't know Syaoran. Please let me think about this." She quickly walked away, scared that she might regret it and go running back to him.

Syaoran watched as the love of his life just walked out of his life again. At least he had a chance right? Kaori touched his shoulder gently, "I better go now, bye you guys." Chiharu nodded, "I can't believe Sakura didn't even notice me." Kaori looked at her sadly, "She didn't mean to. I'll tell Sakura you're here."

Chiharu nodded, "Thanks Kay." Kaori nodded and followed where Sakura was. Chiharu looked at Syaoran sadly, "Don't worry Sakura will realize the truth soon." Syaoran nodded hoping it was too late.

Kenji

"Mommy…" he drawled, she was hurting his arm. "Sorry," Sakura quickly slowing her pace, and loosening her grip. They had reached the car; Sakura leaned against it and crouched down. Tears were flowing down her cheeks endlessly, "Why did he have to come back!" Sakura yelled out to no one.

He looked at her worriedly, "I'm sorry to running to daddy…" he said while looking downwards in shame. Sakura shook her head, "No Kenji, its mommy fault. I shouldn't keep you from your father." Her son looked at her unsure of what to do, he just stood there watching. He turned and suddenly yelled out, "Auntie Kaori!" Sakura hearing that quickly brushed the remaining tears from her eyes and stood up.

Kaori had a small smile on her face, "Hey Kenji, Saku!" Sakura forced a smile on and opened the car door, "Let's go home you guys." They all entered the car in silence unsure of what to say.

Mei Lin

She growled furiously as she realized her 'fiancé' was no longer in the country. "How could he do that!" Mei Lin demanded in the phone. The person on the other line giggled, "Don't worry about it Mei Mei, I'll take care of it." Mei Lin smirked, "You had better, or I might have to black mail you again."

She could see the person tensing up, "Of course Mei." Mei Lin quickly hung up the phone; she had heard a noise outside. "Who's there?" she said a little too sweetly. "The queen wants to see you," a voice called out. Mei Lin nodded and quickly followed the servant to where the queen was.

"Your highness," Mei Lin said while bowing down politely. "I heard my son left to Tomoeda again." Mei Lin put on a sad face, "Yes, he didn't even tell me." Yelan waved her off, "You are to go there in the private jet plane and bring him back." Mei Lin nodded her head, "As you wish your highness." Mei Lin quickly left the room cheering inside, she would become queen if it was the last thing she did.

Tomoyo

She placed down the phone feeling really distressed. She didn't know what she could do anymore. She stared at the phone, should she tell anyone what she knew? No she shook her head; she would just have to let everything go its course. She just hopes everyone would realize it in time.

Sakura

They arrived home not too late after and she want to help Kaori unpack. "So how was it after I left?" Sakura asked starting a conversation. "It wasn't too bad, Syaoran was really bummed though," Kaori told her while folding some clothes. Sakura froze, but quickly regained herself, "I see…" she said softly. "You know Chiharu was also at the airport today, with Syaoran," Kaori told her.

"Really, I didn't notice her," Sakura said looking down in shame. Kaori smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry Chi understands. But she said we should all get together sometime. Maybe even with Syaoran and Eriol." Sakura looked off towards a distance, "Maybe," she said thoughtfully. Kaori nodded her head, "So how are you feeling?"

Sakura looked at her with sad eyes, "I'm really not sure. I really want to be with Syaoran, but I have this feeling we just aren't meant to be Kay." Kaori touched her shoulder gently, "No matter what you choose I'll be with you all the way Saku. Just don't do something you'll regret later on though." Sakura nodded her head, "I understand."

Kaori smiled, "Well anyways, what you think Mia and Hoto are doing right now?" The two giggled at the thoughts of the couple together on their honeymoon. Sakura had finally felt relaxed after the whole confrontation today.

Eriol

He growled as he heard the phone ringing. He picked it up and said roughly, "Who is this?" The person on the other line chuckled, "Is this how you greet your friend?" Eriol grumbled incoherent words while the person continues, "Would you mind if me and Chiharu live over with you? We're too lazy to get a hotel." Eriol sweetdropped, "Just typical Syaoran. Yeah I would be glad to have you guys over…at my mansion, do you know where that is?"

Syaoran said, "No." Eriol sighed, and quickly gave him the address. Once they hung up he quickly rushed to the shower, he wanted to at least look presentable. When he finished he decided on a white shirt and black dress pants. He heard the doorbell ring and quickly rushed down the stairs.

He noticed his butler had opened the door. Eriol softly told him to leave. "Welcome Syaoran, Chiharu," Eriol said nicely to the pair in front of him. Syaoran grunted and brought their luggage in. "Don't mind him, he's just mad that Sakura walked out on him again," Chiharu stated matter-of-factly.

Syaoran growled at that comment, but didn't say anything back, he just continued on his ways up the blue marble staircase. "The maids will help you," Eriol told him. Syaoran just shook his head, "No thanks, I can do this myself." Eriol just shrugged him off. A maid came running in with the phone in hand, "Sir, Miss. Tomoyo wants to speak with you, says it's an emergency." Chiharu looked at Eriol questioningly, "What would Tomoyo want with you? I thought you two were over?"

Eriol took the phone, "It's not what you think, I'll explain it to you later," he quickly left the room. Chiharu sighed, not understanding anything. She noticed Syaoran hadn't heard what the maid had said; she followed his path and made her way upstairs.

Mei Lin

She looked impatiently at her watch, 'just two more hours,' she thought happily. She knew right at this moment her plan was being put in place. Everyone had better to their jobs correctly or there would be price to pay. She quickly shut her phone off not wanting to be interrupted.

She smiled evilly while looking at her hands; they were capable of so many things. She couldn't help but laugh, this whole time her life was just a game, and everyone was just a little pawn. Soon she would have everything she had ever wanted.

Deep inside her stomach wretched, telling her she should stop. But she shook those thoughts away, all that mattered now was her happiness. She clutched her hands tightly, if she couldn't get what she wanted by manipulating people, she would have to go through more drastic measures.

Sakura

She sighed clutching onto the phone. Damn that Eriol, always trying to make everything right. She felt like throwing the phone out of anger but knew it wouldn't help. She sighed, it's not like she would be able to avoid him the whole time anyways, might as well get it over with.

Eriol had invited all of them over to his house, his real house for dinner tomorrow. She shuddered at the thoughts of Syaoran; she didn't know how she'd be able to handle him. She silently hoped for the best, she wouldn't be able to handle anymore pain. She shut her eyes tightly, somehow she knew tomorrow was going to be horrible. Deep inside her she knew something was going to go terribly wrong and when they realized it, it would be too late.

She shook those thoughts aside and fell into an uneasy sleep.

Eriol

He sighed; this was the second call he had. First one with Tomoyo, and than with Sakura. Tomoyo had told him to have them all together, get their problems cleared and that she would handle the rest. A noise erupted from outside and Eriol quickly rushed out. He looked around and noticed Chiharu, "How much did you hear?" he asked her trying to stay calm.
