Ages: Sakura: 18-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Syaoran: 21
And Now, for this heartfelt story to begin…-.-.-Chapter 24: Happy Birthday King Li
-. -. Next Day -. -.
Sakura woke up to a loud grumble. "Syaoran…" She moaned as she shoved Syaoran.
"Syaoran!" She tried again as Syaoran didn't budge.
"BAKA!" She shrieked as she pushed Syaoran off of the bed.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" He cried.
"Get me noodles."
Syaoran frowned. "Why the hell do you want noodles in the morning?"
"JUST GET IT FOR ME!" Sakura shrieked as Syaoran scrambled to get Sakura's noodles.
'Erg, damn cravings.' Syaoran thought as he walked to the kitchen.
-. -. Noon -. -.
Sakura's cravings did die down but she still had those nasty quirks here and there. I mean, one time she asked for a muffin with mayo topped with cherries and a little bit of raspberry jam. And then, like two hours ago she asked for a pizza, with broccoli, sardines, bacon, cherries, strawberries, ice cream, chocolate and a bit of essence.
Syaoran didn't know how much more of this he could take.
In a week, Tomoyo, Eriol, Ryu and Mei Lin here coming, but already in a day, he was dead.
Sakura was right now in the shower, washing up, as Syaoran was on his cell-phone, talking to Ryu.
"Yea, I'm telling you man, Sakura's a slave driver. Does demanding-ness come with pregnancy?"
"Hah, Syaoran you crazy loon. I don't think being demanding comes with Pregnancy, it just probably runs in her genes."
"Than I hate to think how our kids would turn out."
"Yea, considering it's Ms. Bossy and Mr. Grouchy."
"Fuck off Ryu."
"Jokes. But seriously man, are you okay? Like you ain't eating that shit Sakura eats are you?"
"ARE YOU CRAZY? I'd die before I put that crap in my mouth."
Ryu sighed. "Ok good, I was afraid there for a sec dude. I mean, Sakura's seriously… strange."
"Gee, you're one to talk, I just hope she's not that obsessive wife type of person, murdering any woman that talks to me."
"I doubt that, you do go to work and interact with your secretary don't you?"
"Well yea, but that's different."
"How so?"
"Well, my secretary works for me and well, I ain't gonna screw her."
"Are you kidding? Half the men out there cheat on their wives with their secretaries. A secretary at work and a wife at home, two very good companions."
"Shut up Ryu, did you forget me and Sakura aren't permanent?"
"Ah, but who say's you're temporary? You could just as well fall in love and have lots of babies, and at the end dump them on me and Eriol."
"Or I can just shove all the crap Sakura eats down your throat."
"That's murder man!"
"Exactly."
Ryu and Syaoran laughed at their little stupid joke.
"Hey listen, Mei Lin and Tomoyo wanna go shopping and buy you two some stuff. As always the guys have to carry the stupid bags. Bye dude."
"See ya man." Syaoran said as he hung up. He turned around to find Sakura flying down the stairs. She was wearing a loose white skirt, with flower patterns all over and a tight baby blue top that was shoulder sleeved with a collar.
"You're looking stunning." Syaoran gaped.
"As always." Sakura giggled as she walked up to Syaoran.
"So, a month into pregnancy, and only four days remaining until our Announcement." Syaoran mused.
Sakura smiled. "Yea I know, and your 21st birthday is right after."
"Yea, King Li."
"And Queen… queen what exactly?" Sakura asked.
"Depends on what you want." Syaoran said as he went to pick up the keys to his Lexus.
"If you want to be called Queen Li, than that's what everybody would call you. But if you prefer Queen Sakura, or Queen Ying Fa than that's what it will be."
"What are you calling yourself?" Sakura asked as she took out her jean jacket.
"King Xiao Lang." Syaoran murmured as he started exiting the mansion.
"Why Xiao Lang?" Sakura asked as she followed him.
"Because, that's my name duh."
"Chinese… ooo…" Sakura felt stupid. They both got into the car before Sakura realized she had actually ummm got into the car.
"Hoe? Where are we going?"
"We're going out to buy you a dress." Syaoran laughed. Sakura looked at him with big, happy eyes.
"Seriously? How did you get Tomoyo to agree?"
"I didn't. I just didn't tell her I'm buying you a dress."
Sakura frowned. "That's mean. In the end she'll make me a dress and cry if I don't wear it."
"What's so bad about her dresses though?" Syaoran asked as reversed the Lexus.
"They're a bit revealing." Sakura muttered.
"But you're pregnant, she won't really make you wear that."
"Than you don't know Tomoyo that well, do you?"
"She's your cousin not mine."
"But she's dating your cousin." Sakura pointed out.
"Than ask Eriol not me."
"Ask Eriol what? I only said that you don't know Tomoyo that well and you go saying 'Ask Eriol'. What the hell are you high on?" Sakura asked, feeling his forehead for a fever.
"Nothing. Apparently waking up at the most absurd time to get your food has taken a toll on my poor brain."
Sakura snorted. "Syaoran, you're anything but poor."
"Oh shut up." Syaoran pouted. Sakura laughed as they drove out to the Mainland.
-. -. Minako's Gown -. -.
"Oh dear God, why are we here?" Sakura moaned as Syaoran pulled up in front of Minako's Gowns.
"What, you're Wedding Gown was perfect, why not look for a Queen's gown here?"
"Syaoran, there's a big difference between Wedding Gown and Queen's Gown."
"Well, there's no more dress shops for a few kilometres."
"Shut up." Sakura mumbled as she slumped inside.
"Stand up straight. Slouching is bad for the baby." Syaoran ordered.
"I'm only a month in stupid." Sakura growled as she straightened her back.
"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li!" Minkao exclaimed as she saw her richest customer walk in.
"Hey Minako." Sakura said happily, hiding the fact that she didn't wanna shop here. She wanted to go someplace new and exciting. Exotic probably.
"You are just in time for our Summer Line of gowns." Minako said happily.
"Great. Do you have anything for… well… basically Queen Material?" Syaoran asked as he stood beside Sakura who was muttering curses in Japanese.
"Queen? Dear God, we're not that fancy."
Sakura grinned with happiness. "Told you Syaoran! Now we have to go someplace more… exotic."
"Not so fast Sakura. Listen Minako, Sakura and me have an Announcement Date in four days. We're being pronounced King and Queen of China. I wanted something fancy, elegant, yet proper for Sakura as she's in her first month of pregnancy."
Minako thought for a moment. She put her finger on her chin and stared into the tube lights on the ceiling. She snapped her fingers with an excited look on her face. "I think I have three dresses that you may like."
"Great… three." Sakura mumbled under her breath.
"Wait here." Minako said as she rushed to the back.
"I thought she said she didn't have any!" Sakura whined.
"Well, maybe now she does."
"Stupid ness. After she finds she dealing the future King and Queen, dresses appear into her backroom?"
"Stop being so harsh."
"Stop being so bossy."
"I'm not the one forcing you to go get noodles first thing in the morning."
"Excuse me? I'm not the one who's so fucking sex deprived."
"Sex deprivation is not a bad thing."
"Oh really Syaoran? So than I shouldn't worry that you're gonna go sleep with the next whore that bends at your fancy?" Sakura struck it. She had seen Syaoran wince.
"Damn it Sakura, that was a stinkin' joke."
"Not for deprived losers."
"If I'm such a looser, than why'd you marry me?"
"If I had known that you were gonna be suck an ass fuck before we married, I would never have. But hello, me being blind, I didn't have much choice did I?"
"Yea you did, marry me or save money."
"Saving money was out of the question. Or are you that stupid to know that we've been saving for 3 years, yet not half way close to our goal."
"It's not my fault your family spends a lot."
That struck Sakura. She glared at Syaoran coldly before walking off to Minako.
"Here you go Mrs. Li." Sakura frowned. "Call me Sakura." She said as Minako smiled kindly.
"Here are the three dresses that I think you may like." She said as she handed Sakura three dresses.
The first dress was a golden mahogany colour that had a tight bodice and flared down to the legs. It had a puff on the shoulders and while the sleeve flared down, it puffed again at the elbow. It had patterns with gold embroidery all over the bottom in flower patterns.
The second dress wasn't as fancy yet elegant at most. It was a light pink dress, almost white. It had a looser bodice, with folded collars that rounded to the front, making almost a heart shaped neckline. It flowed beautifully down to the floor where is rested like a picture. The colours contrasted on the way down, the white and pinkish colour transformed into a honey golden colour that finished off with dark laces, hanging off the bottom. The dress had no embroidery at all, but look beautiful all the same.
The third dress however was beyond Sakura's taste. It came with a corset, so the bodice can fit the woman wearing the dress. It was a dark Oak colour that blended nicely into a fine woody colour, a bit lighter than the Oak. It tightly flowed to the bottom, hugging every curve of the woman wearing the dress. It had black lace pooling out of unnecessary areas and leafy patterns decorating it.
Sakura stared at the three dresses and frowned. All of them were mighty too elegant for her, especially the third one. Dammit she was pregnant.
"Can I try on the first two?" She asked. Minako smiled as she took away the third dress, leaving Sakura to try on the first two.
Sakura carried the dresses into the change room, avoiding Syaoran all the same. She quickly got into the first dress and walked out for Minako and Syaoran to inspect.
"Whoa Sakura, this one hit the jackpot." Minako gaped. The dress looked ravishing on Sakura.
Sakura frowned. "No." She said finally.
Syaoran looked at her. "No?" he asked.
"Minako, this gown is way to tight around the stomach area. It's kind of hard to breath, and well… I'm in my first month." Sakura said.
Minako nodded understandingly. "Alright than Sakura, wear the second one."
Sakura walked inside the change room and changed into the second one. She examined her self in the Change Room mirror before walking out.
She personally really did like this dress. In face, she really wanted to buy it. It was perfect, not to tight, yet not to loose, not to fancy, but not less fancy, just right with the perfect combination of elegancy to match.
She walked out and she swore she saw red coming out of Syaoran's nose.
"So?" Sakura quivered as she twirled for Minako and Syaoran.
"Drop dead." Syaoran whispered. Minako giggled as she walked up to Sakura. "You're eyes go perfectly with this dress."
Sakura looked nervously at Syaoran. Yea they'd just been in a fight, but that doesn't mean he can't help her out.
"This one's perfect. Want me to charge?" Syaoran asked quietly.
"Do you have shoes?" Sakura asked.
Minkao shook her head. "Unfortunately, these dresses were by them selves. But I'm pretty sure your wedding shoes will match. And the Jewellery that you had for your wedding, that would go nicely with this gown as well."
Sakura smiled slightly while she touched the fabric of the dress.
"We'll take it." She said finally.
Sakura was changing as Syaoran charged his Platinum card. Minako bid them farewell as the two left.
"Sorry." Sakura whispered as reached the car. Syaoran looked at her as she got into the car.
"I guess, being pregnant… I mean… my emotions aren't under control. I'm still not fully over the fact that Otou-san died, and here I'm becoming Queen of China, something that I never dreamt about, with a child that I'm carrying… you… you won't understand." Sakura whispered again as she looked out the window.
Syaoran cupped her chin, and made Sakura face him.
"I won't understand you, yes, but that doesn't mean I'll try. I can picture how you feel right now, with everything happening to you. Becoming Queen you never even dreamt would happen to you, but for me? It was expected that I become King. But, I accept your apology, but I also wanna say I'm sorry."
"S'ok." Sakura whispered, while she lowered her eyes. But before she knew it, Syaoran lifted her face with his hand and placed his mouth firmly above hers. He slightly butterfly kissed her, his tongue caressing her lips. He finally nibbled on her lower lip, asking for entrance, which Sakura gave almost instantly. Syaoran's tongue coaxed Sakura's mouth as his tongue entered her. Their mouths moved perfectly as Sakura entered her tongue into Syaoran's mouth.
Their tongues had a battle royal as heat and tension was released into the car. Syaoran's arm moved down to Sakura's waist as she moved her hands up to his shoulders. Sakura's hormones screamed as she pulled him in deeper. Their kiss intensified as Sakura swore here lungs was punching her. Finally, pulling back for air, Syaoran's thumb ran over her swollen lips.
Sakura was panting as Syaoran smirked. "Too much?"
Sakura pushed him away and pouted. "You wish." She mumbled. Syaoran chuckled as he started the car and drove away. "That I do my dear." He said as they drove off home.
-. -. Tomoyo, Eriol, Mei Lin and Ryu -. -.
Tomoyo and Mei Lin were in dress shops, shoe shops, gold shops, any type of damn shops you can imagine in all of Hong Kong, they were there.
The four had driven 4 hours to get to a good Dress shop so Tomoyo and Mei Lin can buy them selves dresses.
"Aren't you gonna make one?" Mei Lin asked as she touched a gorgeous silk dress.
"I would, but my stuff are at Japan, and I'm way to lazy to get all the fabric. For once, get a dress already made." Tomoyo said as she turned a dress rack.
"What about Sakura?" Mei Lin asked.
"Knowing her, she'd already buy a dress and try to break it to me, without making me cry."
"Awww…"
"I know, Sakura's a sweetie, I'm proud to call her my cousin."
"So, when's your wedding?" Mei Lin asked as she walked to a hanger full of cloths.
"I don't know, I wanna get started on the planning after Sakura's announcement date."
"That's good. All of Sakura and Syaoran's stress would be out of the way, and yours would being."
"Oh shut up." Tomoyo giggled.
"When do you want the wedding?"
Tomoyo grinned. "Believe or not, I want it on Christmas Eve."
"Get out? Seriously? Isn't that way to much… excitement for one… eve?"
Tomoyo laughed. "I dunno, I'm not rushing my wedding like Sakura did, but I don't want to slow it down. I want to get Eriol's name and have lots of babies with him."
Almost like magic, Eriol appeared in front of them. "Did I just hear my lovely Tomoyo say she wants a lot of babies with me?"
Tomoyo frowned. "No stupid, I just said I want a lot of babies with Ryu."
"Jackpot SCORE!" Ryu pumped a fist into the air.
"Ryu Ling, you're dead." Mei Lin said glaring at Ryu.
"I mean… I prefer Mei Lin over Tomoyo any day." Ryu said nervously as he started backing away.
"Who wouldn't? Mei Lin's a good fuck." Eriol smirked.
Tomoyo glared hardcore at Eriol. "Do you want me to dump you?" She said dangerously.
"I was just joking. Syaoran kids about these things all the time."
Ryu walked up to Eriol and gave him a manly pat on the back. "Dude, that was before he married Sakura, when we were still playboys."
Mei Lin and Tomoyo laughed at Eriol's stupidty.
"And for being so stupid, Eriol can carry all of Ryu's bags." Tomoyo said sweetly as Mei Lin and her ran off.
"What? NOO!" Eriol sobbed as he sank to his knees.
"BOO YEA!" Ryu boomed as he danced around Eriol.
People were giving them odd looks.
"We don't know them." Mei Lin muttered as they walked off.
"Jack asses." Tomoyo whispered as she picked up a Violet dress.
-. -. Sakura and Syaoran -. -.
Sakura and Syaoran had gotten back to their place, put Sakura's dress in the closet, all without a single craving. Oops… spoke too soon.
"Syaoran… Milkshake with chocolate, strawberry, vanilla extract. Blend it well. Pour it in a wine glass, top it with whipping cream, cherry on top."
Syaoran sighed. "Finally, real food."
"Did I forget to say that I want raisons, prunes and a bit of sausage on top too?"
Syaoran fell anime style. "Spoke to soon." He grumbled as he told Wei and Kitty to make Sakura's food.
"Shit, how does the baby stand all that?" Syaoran asked, staring at Sakura's stomach.
Sakura placed a hand protectively on her stomach and playfully glared at Syaoran. "Well excuse me Syaoran, it is your child that's asking for all this."
"Then apparently it got your appetite not mine."
"Oh really? Almost everything I've asked for today had chocolate. Your favourite flavour."
"Really? And almost everything you wanted today had Vanilla, your favourite flavour."
Sakura giggled. "Than it's a mix flavour?"
Syaoran chuckled as Wei brought up the wine glass. Kitty brought up a bottle of Red Wine and a second wine cup for Syaoran.
"Thanks." Syaoran said as Kitty bowed and left. Sakura took her milkshake concoction and looked at it longingly as Syaoran poured his Red Wine. They clinked glasses and grinned foolishly.
"Cheers." They said as the guzzled down their drinks.
Finally, after Sakura's cravings died and Syaoran was still at the brinks of being sober, his cell rings.
"Hello?" Syaoran said gruffly into the phone.
"Syaoran? Listen, me and Shoaling are headed down to the Empire. There's been a huge drop in our accounts and we're down by a few million dollars. Either one of our partners bailed on us or we have an unfaithful ally. Come down right now." Xenon said.
"Shit. Ok, see you in a few."
And the two hung up.
"Sakura, I have to go to the empire. I'll be back in a few hours okay?" he hiccupped.
"But Syaoran, you're hardly sober."
"Get me coffee, it'll help." He demanded. Sakura told Kitty to brew up some black coffee.
(eww! Black? How can Syaoran drink that? I'm fine with my Double Double coffee thank you! In case you dun know that that is, Double Double is two sugars and two cream in my coffee.)
After Syaoran drank is coffee, he became a lot more sober than before. He kissed Sakura goodbye and left. As soon as he did, Sakura took out her cell phone and rang up Tomoyo and Mei Lin.
"Hey Moyo?" Sakura said urgently.
"Hey Kura, what's up?" Tomoyo said happily.
"Nothing really. Hey, do you or Mei Lin know any good restaurants here?" Sakura asked as she stared out the window of her bedroom, looking at the water in the horizon. Their mansion was located near a forest that was part of Syaoran's property, and built right beside a beach.
"Doushite?" Tomoyo asked.
"Syaoran's birthday is in five days and I want to go out for dinner with all of us."
Tomoyo squealed. "What a wonderful wife."
"Shut up, so do you?"
"Let me ask."
Tomoyo put Sakura on hold for five minutes before picking up again.
"Mei Lin says that Syaoran's favourite restaurant is 'Heavens Touch'."
"Seriously? Syaoran likes a restaurant named Heavens Touch?"
"Yea, here jot the number and get reservations."
"Ok." Sakura said as she wrote down the number.
"So what are you guys doing?" Sakura asked.
"Preparing for the Announcement Day. And we also got Syaoran birthday presents. Four, from all four of us."
"Great. Hey, is it only us?"
"Yea."
"No Xenon or Yelan?"
"I dunno… their…"
"Old." Sakura giggled.
Tomoyo laughed. "Yea, but I dunno… do you wanna?"
"Not really, having your in-law's there is a different type of feeling."
"Then just us guys."
"Ok then, continue with what you were doing."
"ERIOL COME BACK HERE, WE AIN'T FINISHED YET!" Tomoyo joked.
Sakura burst into laughter's as she heard Eriol say. "REALLY? YAY!"
"Whoa, you two are something."
"Haha! Ok, bye Kura."
"Ja Ne Tomoyo."
Sakura hung up and dialled up Heavens Touch's number. A masculine voice was heard.
"Hello, Thank you for calling Heavens Touch, my name is Tai, how may I help you?" he asked.
"Hi, umm, I would like reservations for 7 in for July 13th please."
"For seven… hmm… what time Ms?"
"After 7 preferably."
"And what's the name?"
"Li."
"L…L…Li?" He stuttered.
"Yea."
"You mean, Xiao Lang and Ying Fa Li?"
"Yea that's us."
"Great… see you then." He said nervously as he hung up.
Sakura laughed as she placed her cell phone down.
"Wei, can you drive me to the mall?" She asked. 'I need to get Syaoran a present.' She thought as Wei and her left for the mall.
-. -. That night -. -.
Sakura was in her nightgown, brushing her hair in the washroom when she heard her bedroom door open. She hurriedly rushed to greet Syaoran standing there, looking terrible.
"What happened?"
"Our stocks crashed."
"What?" Sakura gasped.
"Yea, some looser was working with the Company that runs against us and sold our stocks."
"That's terrible."
Suddenly Syaoran gave a goofy grin. "But that's ok, we got them back."
Sakura let out a sigh of relief. "Are you mad? Making me worry like that."
Syaoran chuckled as he went to take a shower. After his shower, Sakura and Syaoran lay in bed, talking.
"One day down, three to go…" Sakura murmured.
"Yea," Syaoran whispered as he wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist, as they both fell asleep.
-. -. 3 Day's Later: Announcement Date -. -.
Sakura and Syaoran were basically running around the house like crazy lunatics.
"Where are my shoes?" Sakura screeched as she tore the bedroom apart.
"Where is my god damned tie?" Syaoran roared as he found a pair of white shoes. Sakura found a black tie and turned to Syaoran. They both nervously laughed as the exchanged their items.
"My dress…" Sakura mumbled as she went to put on lipstick. Sakura had curlers in her hair that would curl it. After that she would hair spray it so it would stay. She had gotten a manicure the day before so her nails her perfect. She had eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and a tint of blush.
She took her dress (the second choice in Minako's Gowns) and put it on as Syaoran stumbled into the washroom to put on his suit. The two would have to arrive at the Stage in exactly an hour, which doesn't leave them much time seeing as it takes half an hour alone to get there.
Sakura put on the dress, straightened it out, and started taking off the curlers in front of her dresser. She put them in a pile and went to bang on the washroom. Syaoran swung it open and rushed out to find his socks. Sakura walked in, got her hairspray and basically bathed her hair in that gunk.
She walked out after fanning her hair, as she took out her bottle of perfume. She spritzed some on and took her purse. She was done.
Syaoran tired to comb his hair but no such luck.
"Leave it, it looks good." Sakura said as she messed his hair up again.
"Gee, thanks." Syaoran muttered as he sprayed on his cologne and he was done. They walked down to the Limo, as the driver opened the door for them.
"Ready?" Syaoran whispered as he squeezed Sakura's hand.
"I hope." Sakura murmured.
(You probably might be thinking, 'Why didn't Sakura go to the parlour?' Let's just say she didn't wanna… hehe… I feel lazy as it is to type up an entire parlour scene…)
-. -. Announcement Place -. -.
The place was packed. It was in indoor stage, and Yelan had taken the liberty to invite almost everybody the Li Empire knew. There were aunts, uncles, allies, bosses, everybody.
Sakura and Syaoran spotted Mei Lin and Tomoyo standing on the red carpet.
"Did your mom plan all this?" Sakura asked.
"Looks like it." Syaoran gulped.
As soon as the limo came to a halt, Shoaling opened the door.
"Welcome Brother, Sister-in-law."
Syaoran had to hold in a laugh. "Mom made you say that?" he whispered as he hugged his brother.
"Yea." Shoaling whispered back.
Syaoran and Sakura linked arms and walked on the red carpet into the building. Up on the Stage was Yelan and Xenon, preparing the King and Queen speech. Behind them, on the stage were chairs set up. There were 7. One for Shoaling, Tomoyo, Eriol, Mei Lin, and Ryu. The other two were for Sakura and Syaoran, as soon as these two went to give their little speech, Yelan and Xenon would take their seats.
"I'm scared." Sakura mumbled.
"Believe it or not, so am I." Syaoran whispered back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please take a seat. King Xenon and Queen Yelan are ready to pass down the throne to Prince Xiao Lang and Princess Ying Fa." Came the voice of the announcer dude.
"So I take it I'm going to be Queen Ying Fa?" Sakura mused.
Syaoran chuckled as he led her to the stage. "I guess you are."
And the ceremony beings.
"We're here today for the passing of the Throne from Yelan and I, to my Son Syaoran and his wife Sakura." Xenon said as Yelan stood beside him. Sakura and Syaoran were at the seats at the far end of the stage.
"Syaoran, or Xiao Lang if you prefer, has been training from the Elders and by the Li Clan for his whole life. He was devoted to get this position. Up till recently, we found out his older, twin brother Xiao Chen is still alive, but as it was, Syaoran was training for the position all his life, so the Elders commanded him to get the Throne, along with Ying Fa."
Sakura blushed hearing her Chinese name.
"And now, I would like to call up my Son Syaoran and his wife, Sakura."
Applause.
Sakura and Syaoran stood up and walked over to Yelan and Xenon. The four exchanged hugs before Yelan and Xenon retired to their seats.
Syaoran stood in front of the mic, with Sakura right beside him. She gave him a reassuring squeeze since she was holding his hand. He slightly smiled and looked at the audience.
"I'm happy, no, ecstatic that this day has finally come. After hard days of training, endless torture by those old people who run our Clan, I'm finally proud to say that I will be King, with of course my wife Sakura, by my side who will be Queen. We've both have been awaiting this day, anticipating everything. And now that it's finally come, we don't know what to say." Syaoran said.
"But, all that I want to tell you China, is that I will try to continue all of what my father was doing. I will try and follow in his footsteps as he has done my grandfathers. And I hope that my son," Syaoran paused and smiled Sakura who giggled slightly, "will someday too follow in our footsteps."
Everybody held their breath, waiting for Syaoran's next words.
"And I don't wanna wait any longer, neither does Sakura, so can we please get the crowns?" Syaoran pleaded. The audience burst into laughter's. King Syaoran was such a child. Well, King-to-be.
A man walked up on stage, followed by a woman. They were both holding a red pillow each, with a crown on each pillow.
They walked in front of Sakura and Syaoran and bowed. Yelan, Xenon, Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Ryu and Eriol walked up and stood behind Sakura and Syaoran.
Yelan picked up one crown, Sakura's crow, as Xenon picked up Syaoran's crown.
"And now, with the powers that I hold as King, I shall pass them down to you my son, King Li Xiao Lang." Xenon said strongly as he placed the crown on Syaoran's head.
Yelan smiled. "And with the powers that I posses as Queen, my daughter-in-law, you have been granted the position as, Queen Li Ying Fa." And the crown was placed onto Sakura's head.
Sakura and Syaoran bowed at Yelan and Xenon, who bowed back. They bowed at Mei Lin, Ryu, Eriol and Tomoyo who too bowed back. Now they faced the audience and bowed. The entire building burst into applause.
"Please, give a warm round of applause to the new KING XIAO LANG and QUEEN YING FA!" said the voice in the background.
Applause was never ending. Sakura was getting a migraine, and her baby was also hating this.
Finally, after everything ended, Sakura and Syaoran were headed home, but they had to wear the crown until they reached home.
"King Xiao Lang." Sakura giggled.
"Queen Ying Fa." Syaoran replied with a chuckle.
"Syaoran, tomorrow at 7 we have reservations, wear your tux okay?" Sakura said.
"Sure, but where?"
"It's a surprise.
-. -. Next Day: 6:30pm -. -.
Sakura had the oddest cravings today.
"Holy shit! Does being Queen give you extra craving privileges?" Syaoran shot as he brought Sakura noodles and chocolate syrup.
"I guess. Didn't I say yesterday to get ready by 7?" Sakura shot. She had make up on, and her hair was still in curls.
"Yea you did…"
"So…"
"Ok, ok, don't have a baby."
Sakura looked at him awkwardly. "Uh… don't have a baby?"
Syaoran slapped him forehead. "I'm and idiot."
"That you are."
So around 7, Sakura wore her Queen's dress again, Syaoran wore his tux and they got into the limo.
"Where are we going?" Syaoran asked.
"If you don't shut up, I won't tell you." Sakura replied.
A few minutes later, as the limo took a turn. "Hey Sakura, you do remember it's my birthday today?" Syaoran asked.
"You told me that a million times and I've told you a million times, Happy birthday." Sakura said as she pushed a little box deeper into the seat.
Syaoran sighed as he stared out the window.
Finally, the Limo pulled up and opened the door.
"Where are we…" Syaoran asked. Suddenly, a huge van pulled away, revealing 'Heavens Touch'.
"Heavens Touch?" Syaoran asked astonished.
"Happy Birthday." Sakura said as she kissed his cheek. They walked inside to be caught in incense and candles. They say the crew and they went to join them.
"Happy Birthday King Li." Eriol teased.
Syaoran was way to amazed to retort.
"He's 21 and he act like a 2 year old." Mei Lin laughed.
Syaoran glared at her as he sat down. "Well, who could have thought my wife had gotten me reservations at Heaven's Touch."
"Anybody?" Tomoyo replied cheekily.
The group as a waiter came by with water and champagne.
The crew chattered and laughed at stupid jokes. They ordered food and it came by in a whiff.
"Whoa, this place has better food than I remember." Syaoran said as he chewed his chicken wing.
Mei Lin laughed. "And the last time you came here was last year."
"Shut up." Syaoran murmured as he ate a spoonful of rice.
The day was perfect and it came time for a cake. Sakura ordered a Chocolate cake for Syaoran.
There were the numbers 21 in candles on the cake that were lit. Syaoran blew out the candles and cut the cake, everybody applauded. There was a group gathered around them, the staff of Heaven's Touch and a few customers that were currently eating there.
Syaoran cut the cake and everybody ate a piece. Finally, after a few minutes of relaxing, Tomoyo dumped 6 presents on the table.
"Pick, 6 presents, from the six of us."
Syaoran chuckled as he picked up the biggest box.
"From Eriol." Syaoran read the little tag as he opened the box. It was a Shaving Kit.
"Gee… thanks." Syaoran said sarcastically.
"I wanted to piss you off." Eriol jittered as they all laughed.
He then opened Ryu's. He gave him a pair of Nun chucks.
"NUN CHUCKS? Ryu I ain't a ninja." Syaoran grumbled.
"Yea, but Eriol and I just wanted to piss you off."
"Thanks," Syaoran huffed as he put the nun chucks back into the box. He then opened Tomoyo's.
"Whoa, a new Battle Outfit?" He asked as he pulled it out of the wrapping.
"I sewed it up." She said energetically as Syaoran examined it.
"Finally, a decent present." He mumbled. Everybody laughed as he picked up Mei Lin's.
He unwrapped it to find Cologne set.
"More cologne from Mei Lin. Don't you get me this every year?" He asked.
Mei Lin laughed. "And I intend to keep getting you something like that every year."
Syaoran laughed as he picked up the smallest present, Sakura's.
He opened it to find a velvet box. He opened the box and found a necklace. It had a Wolf insignia on it and it was heavy silver. If you flipped the Wolf around there was 'Li Xiao Lang, Master Wolf' engraved on the back.
Syaoran looked at Sakura in awe. "You got me this?"
Sakura smiled and nodded. He leaned over and gave her a killer hug and a small kiss.
"See, you guys should get me something like this." He said as he put the necklace on.
"Remind us next time, since we ain't your wives." Mei Lin retorted. Everybody laughed, it was a perfect night.
-. -. Sakura and Syaoran's place -. -.
They had changed and gotten into bed. "Thanks again for the present." Syaoran said as he hugged Sakura.
"No problem, besides, I was crushed on what to get you, I haven't known you that long."
"The insignia was perfect."
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"Really." Syaoran answered back. They were quiet for a few minutes before Syaoran felt Sakura's breathing go even.
'She's asleep.' He thought as he looked down at her. She looked so peaceful.
He kissed her forehead and smiled. "I love you, my Ying Fa." He said before going to sleep.
Unknown to him, Sakura was dreaming about a special somebody.
"Xiao Lang," she whispered, "I love you…"
Unknown to both of them, Sakura's feelings have surfaced without realization.
