And now, for this heartfelt story to being….-.-.-.- Chapter 41: Celebrations upon Celebrations
"Shut up Sakura, stop acting smart." Syaoran complained.
That caused everybody to hoot in laughter.
"Let's wash up, then we can really party." Yelan suggested.
Everybody agreed as they got up to wash up.
Syaoran wrapped his arm around his wife's waist as he led them upstairs. Touya and Fuutie had the twins.
'My love,' he thought smiling.
.- Elsewhere -.
"I will get you Sakura… only four more months until my trial ends," He laughed in his prison cell…
Months passed since Christmas. It was now February 7th and after much persuasion on Syaoran's side, he got permission from Sakura to work out at the in home gym that Eriol, Ryu and Shoaling set up for him.
He's been working out since January 5th and he did get some muscle tone back. Shoaling finally slept in peace as Syaoran took over father duty again.
Over the past two weeks, Tomoyo, the Li sisters, Mei Lin, Sakura, Kiyoumi, Hitomi and the rest of the women have been preparing for a first birthday bash for the twins.
The men however have been busy getting the catering ready. That was the only thing they were in charge of. The party was for February 14th, which happened to land on a Sunday. Everybody had a day off and everybody could make it.
It was exactly 7 days until the Twin's birthday and everybody was hyped up about that day.
"My babies are 1 in a week!" Sakura squealed as she played with her twins.
"Sakura calm down! You'll murder them!" Syaoran said. It was 7pm and the twins were getting really tired.
"Yea well… they're turning one!" Sakura giggled as her husband pecked her cheek.
"And in two months you turn 20."
Sakura pouted. "Gee Syaoran, thanks for making me feel old."
"Old? What? I'm turning 23 this year Sakura." Syaoran said sadly.
"Husbands are supposed to be old." Sakura teased as she laid her sleeping babies in their cribs.
"Old eh?" Syaoran grinned as he pounced on Sakura. He bridal carried her to their bedroom as she went into a fit of giggles.
.- February 14th -.
Today was party day! Sakura dressed the twins in what looked like Syaoran's Li Clan robes. Taihen was wearing a black robe with the Ying Yang insignia and Taiyou was wearing a white one.
They booked the same banquet hall they booked for Sakura and Syaoran's wedding. The babies would never leave their parents. They clung to them like kittens to milk.
Sakura had her daughter in her arms and Syaoran, his son. Everybody was mingling and talking. They invited lots of people and the sound was really getting to the babies.
Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Ryu and Mei Lin were all in a small quiet corner.
"Hey, isn't Hiro's trial ending soon?" Mei Lin asked as she sipped some water.
Sakura's eyes widened. "Oh yea, April 15th was it? Not far away."
Syaoran cursed. "Why isn't he in jail for the rest of his freaking life!"
Tomoyo shook her head. "There's no love story without the antagonist. In this case, if there was no Hiro, then your life would've been amazingly perfect."
"But still," Syaoran frowned, "I can't order to behead him can I?"
"We don't have a guillotine." Ryu pointed out.
"Oh yea,"
"Oh shut up Syaoran. What are we going to do about Hiro?"
"We still have a month. Let's enjoy and then kill him later." Syaoran said as he kissed his wife's lips
Mei Lin and Tomoyo drank water and handed their cups to their men. They took the tired babies from their parents and grinned.
"Yang and Ying are going to have some fun before cake cutting." The girls grinned before running off.
"I hope they survive to see that cake," Sakura said amused.
Syaoran chuckled as he led his wife to meet some clients of his.
"I don't know what got into me when I agreed to invite business clients to my babies birthday."
Syaoran chuckled.
The time went by fast and it was time to cut the cake. Sakura and Syaoran held the twins and the twins had butter knives in their hands. Everybody crowded around them as Sakura and Syaoran helped the twins cut the cake. Everybody applauded. Suddenly Tomoyo rushed towards Sakura with a microphone.
"Now we can't have a birthday for Taihen and Taiyou if their mother, Fire from 5SD doesn't sing for them. Come on Sakura!"
Sakura's eyes widened as Tomoyo pushed her up to stage.
Sakura, gasped as Tomoyo handed her a microphone.
"Sing a lullaby." Eriol suggested.
"Sing that one from The Prince of Egypt." Shoaling said.
Sakura glared at her cousin before taking a deep breath in and letting it out with the tune of her voice.
Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Syaoran smiled hearing the River Lullaby from the movie, The Prince of Egypt. The twins just say the movie a few days ago and they loved the lullaby. Sakura had memorized that song just for them.
Drift on a river
That flows through my arms
Drift as I'm singing to you
I see you smiling
So peaceful and calm
And holding you, I'm smiling, too
Here in my arms
Safe from all harm
Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Everybody smiled as the Queen Li sung a lullaby to her babies. She was on the last verse and the twins seriously were drifting to sleep. Sakura smiled as she rounded into the last verse.
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
I'll be with you when you dream
Sakura hoped off the stage to see that the twins actually did fall asleep.
"Oops." She said in a horrified giggle.
.- A month later -.
This time around, Sakura didn't want a big party for her birthday. She just wanted a family get together. It was mid March and Eriol just celebrated his birthday on the 23rd. It was the 31st now and everybody was soundly asleep.
The twins were a year old now and they still haven't learned how to walk. They do however speak broken Japanese.
Tomorrow was April 1st.
Everybody woke extra early the next day to get the house ready for Sakura's home party. Only family was invited.
Syaoran got up, he had gotten all of his strength back form the coma, and went to change and feed the babies, giving Sakura a few extra hours of sleeping. Today, his sweet angle turned 20.
Kiyoumi took the liberty of inviting Ting, Yoyo, and the rest of the student bodyguards, however Sakura didn't know that. It was all just a surprise.
Sakura woke up slowly to find that indeed her husband was gone. She frowned as she slouched into the nursery and found that the twins were gone too.
'That idiot better not take me to Venice this time around,' Sakura thought goodheartedly.
She walked into the bathroom knowing that her babies were with somebody safe. She took a short shower and changed into a pair of black pants and a pink button up t-shirt.
'I'm 20 today!' she thought excitedly as she walked downstairs. It was around 11 now and Sakura was shocked that she actually slept in for that long.
Sakura walked downstairs to see Syaoran, Shoaling and Ryu sit at the table eating. Sakura raised a brow. "What's going on here?"
"Oh, everybody left. Sakura, wanna play Soul Calibur?" Shoaling asked.
Sakura shrugged. "Where are the twins?" She asked her husband, not believing that they couldn't remember her own birthday, even when they were talking about it last night.
"With Tomoyo." Syaoran replied.
Ryu, Shoaling and Sakura all went into Syaoran's game room as Syaoran followed them. Truth be told, nobody was out. They were all in the dance studio preparing for the family surprise party for Sakura. Taihen and Taiyou were with them.
Sakura sat down as Ryu plugged in the controllers. Sakura picked up first player and selected Kilik. Shoaling got the second controller and selected Yoshimitsu.
"Oh, my Korean hottie will whoop your Japanese ass!" Sakura grinned.
"Stop disrespecting Japanese people Sakura! Besides, you are Japanese!"
"Half Japanese! My mother was Chinese." Sakura growled as she performed the Heavens Dance technique on Shoaling.
"HAHAH! I killed you!" Sakura grinned as she used Dirty Bo.
Shoaling frowned as he gave the controller to Ryu. He selected Voldo.
Sakura used her character and jumped in the air as Ryu tired to do a throw attack. Sakura landed on Ryu's character and used a throw.
"Ring out." Said the machine and Sakura squealed.
"My turn," Syaoran grinned as he took the controller from Ryu. He selected Yun Sung.
"Ohh." Sakura grinned as she saw the television screen flash Round 1. Sakura jumped as Syaoran tried to use his White Fang sword on her. Sakura was using the Amud staff that Kilik had so her health started decreasing a little.
Syaoran grinned as he got up behind Sakura and attempted to throw her. Sakura dodged and tired to trip him.
It was a close fight but at the end…
"Double K.O."
"Double knock out?" Ryu stared at the screen.
"Sakura and Syaoran are evenly matched." Said Shoaling as he stared at his brother and sister-in-law.
"I went easy on him." Sakura smirked.
Syaoran snorted. "Oh yea right."
"You bet I'm right!" Sakura said as she tackled Syaoran. Syaoran smiled as he grabbed her waist and countered it, him now pinning her.
"Oh I so should not have given you permission to start training again." Sakura pouted.
Syaoran smiled as he lightly pecked Sakura's lips.
"Remember when it was just you, me, Shoaling and Ryu in the house?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura nodded. "Yea, but don't you think… the guys have been here for two years now. How'd they get so long off of work?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know but Yam, Takashi and Mika were telling me that their bosses called and their vacation time was up. Two years vacation time?" Ryu raised a brow.
"Eriol's boss is flexible." Sakura murmured. "Eriol is after all, working for Tomoyo," Sakura winked.
"Huh?"
"Tomoyo designs clothes and Eriol is the market manager. Tomoyo is his boss."
The guys laughed.
"Yam, Takashi, Chiharu, Mika, Naoko and Rika are all returning back to Japan in three days. Rika and Yam's mother is turned totally sick and they really need to go back. Takashi's grandparents wanted to see Chiharu has a Yamazaki so they have to go back and Mika and Naoko are planning on getting married in Japan so they need to go back." Syaoran said.
"And they didn't tell me?" Sakura raised a brow.
"They didn't want to hurt you Sakura. You've been through a lot. They'll be back in a few months." Ryu said.
Sakura sighed. "Alright,"
"Come let's take a walk." Shoaling said as he wrapped an arm around Sakura's waist and blew a raspberry at his brother.
"Your wife likes me more." Shoaling teased.
Syaoran snorted. "You wish. You know Hitomi isn't good in bed that's why you're after my wife."
"Ouch!" Ryu laughed as he snapped his fingers.
Sakura glared at Syaoran. "Good in bed? Is that all I'm good at?"
Syaoran smirked. "No, you're a hell of a kisser."
Sakura groaned. "Gee, I married a sex crazed loony."
Ryu and Shoaling snickered at Sakura's comment.
"If I'm so sex crazed, why are you still married to me?" Syaoran raised a brow.
"Believe it or not, I'm under a contract." Sakura played along.
"Thank god for contracts." Syaoran laughed as he led them all to the dance studio.
The lights were dark and Sakura couldn't see anything. She walked in and instantly Syaoran flashed on the lights.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everybody squealed.
"Mama!" Yang bubbled as he wiggled out of his aunt Tomoyo's arms. He started to stand up Sakura got to her knees and held her hands out for her son. Ying did the same thing and together, the twins took their first steps. They wobbled over to Sakura who's eyes were wide. Lucky for Tomoyo, she had her video tape.
"What a birthday present baby!" She kissed her twins.
"Missed us?" Came a very familiar voice. Sakura turned around to see her student bodyguards, Ting, Yoyo, Umiko, Sara, Lisa, Jason, Mark… the entire lot!
"Oh my god! I haven't seed you guys since… well 2 years ago!" Sakura squealed.
"Yea, University," Ting grinned as he kissed Sakura's cheek.
"Ahh! Ting Me kissed me." Sakura pretend to faint. Yoyo laughed as she hugged Sakura.
"This is the best," Sakura beamed as she hugged everybody. She walked to her husband and gave him and extra special kiss. "Thank you Syaoran,"
He smiled as he took Taiyou from her arms.
"For everything,"
.- Departure day -.
"We'll miss you!" Sakura smiled as Yam, Rika, Naoko, Mika, Chiharu and Takashi all were at the airport.
"Don't forget me," Ryan kissed his fiancée tightly on the lips.
"Of course not. You are coming next month to Japan eh?" Rika smirked.
"Oh yea…"
"Passengers on Flight 320 to Tokyo Japan please board."
"This is it," Sakura murmured as she hugged her friends. Syaoran smiled as Sakura waved good bye.
"We'll be back Sakura!" They waved and they were gone…
"That's a whole lot of people gone. Wonder when they'll be back." Sakura whispered as she wrapped an arm around her husband's arms. Eriol and Tomoyo were at home with the twins.
"Soon enough Sakura," Syaoran kissed Sakura's forehead.
The days went by swiftly and soon enough it was April 14th…
.- Else where -.
"Tomorrow I my release date Sakura… hope you haven't forgotten me." He smirked as he lay in his cell, toying with his jail uniform
"I'll get you, my dear Sakura… you will pay for not marrying me!"
