What is Shoaling's plan hmmm?

Oh and somebody asked me that if Shoaling was older, why isn't he the heir? Well that question was answered a LONG time ago in the story. But if you forgot, Shoaling wasn't trained to be the leader since he was sent up for adoption. Syaoran was trained for the leader, married to be the leader, and had kids because he was going to be the leader, he needed secure heirs. So Shoaling was in no way fit to be the leader of the Li Clan because he was never exposed to their training.

And now, for this heartfelt story to being…

----- Chapter 45: Operation Betrayal Part 1

"I had this awful dream." He murmured as he repeated it. After finishing it, Sakura came out and her and Syaoran commented.

"That is… that's bad." Sakura murmured as she took Taihen from Syaoran and put him in the swing. Shoaling put Taiyou in her baby swing before sitting down.

"So what are you going to do about it?" Syaoran asked.

Shoaling grinned as his brother and Sakura. "Don't tell anybody, not Eriol, Tomoyo, my sisters, mom, dad… nobody alright?"

The two nodded.

"I have a plan…"

So it was set. Shoaling's plan was basically fool proof, unless you knew the Li brothers so well. Sakura really did hate doing this but it was the only way to get Kiyoumi and Hitomi to tell them of their betrayal without knowing it.

"So you guys are ready?" Shoaling said later that night when Syaoran and Sakura put Taihen and Taiyou to bed.

"Yeah… but this is… well… I don't know." Sakura shot a glare to Syaoran, "Remember Syaoran doing this on our first anniversary?"

Shoaling and Syaoran shared a quick brotherly laugh. "But this time you're in on this. It's everybody else that's going to be fooled Sakura." Syaoran chuckled as he brushed his lips over his wife.

"I hope you two," Sakura gestured to the Li brothers, "know what you are doing."

"We do, especially me." Shoaling puffed his chest out.

"Do we tell the others?" Sakura said.

"No. I don't care if Eriol, Tomoyo and Touya know about this, we are not telling anybody, and this is between only us three. The more people know, the more of a chance the two find out." Shoaling said.

"I swear Sakura; he's more devious than me." Syaoran said gulping.

Sakura giggled. "Nobody can be more devious then you Syaoran, I swear."

"Tell that to Shoaling." Syaoran laughed, bearing his fangs. Shoaling shared an identical smirk.

"Ok so we go to bed now? Operation Betrayal begins tomorrow?" Sakura asked.

The brothers nodded.

"Hey Xiao Lang," Shoaling started.

"Hmm?"

"To make it more realistic, can I spend the night with your wife."

Sakura tried to stifle the laughter as Syaoran whacked Shoaling over the head. "What do you think Xiao Chen?"

"I take that as a no. Night mi'lord, mi'lady." Shoaling playfully bowed before leaving.

"Night." The couple said before facing each other.

"You really think we can pull this off?" Sakura said.

"We probably can."

"The twins will for sure know who's who though."

"I'll make sure to stay with the twins all day. Shoaling can be with you to make it seem more realistic."

"But the others will surly find out." Sakura murmured.

"We'll keep it up."

"What about the scar on Shoaling's leg?"

"We're wearing pants Sakura, not underwear."

Sakura sighed as she hugged her husband. "I know, I'm just nervous."

Syaoran smiled tenderly as he hugged her back. "Everything will be okay."

"Can we sleep in the nursery tonight?"

"Sure." Syaoran kissed her forehead. Sakura went to set up the bed in the nursery as Syaoran went to change.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura woke up in the warm hug of her husband. She didn't want this blissful moment to end anytime soon. She wanted to sleep in Syaoran's arms forever with her babies close to her. She didn't want any of this betrayal and insane ex-fiancé stuff running around in her head. The moments just as she woke up were the only peaceful ones she got. Just thinking of Syaoran, Taihen, Taiyou and herself… just them four.

"Hey," Came a soft voice. Sakura shifted around to meet the chest of her husband. She blushed before looking up.

"Hi."

Syaoran passionately kissed her as her hands wrapped around his neck.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Us… how when I wake up it's the only time everything feels alright. I'm here in your arms, the twins are safe… no two bitches nor some crazed ex-fiancé on my tail."

"I think that's how everybody feels." Syaoran said brushing her tangled hair from out of her face.

"And then when we take our shower and go downstairs, hell beings." Sakura sighed.

Syaoran pressed his lips against her forehead. "I promise everything will be alright."

"Don't make false promises Syaoran." Sakura said tugging his hair.

"Oi! Promising to protect my sexy, darling wife and my two little twins isn't false."

"Ok fine, you win." Sakura said kissing him soundly on the lips.

"Mama…" Ying cried a bit as she started stirring.

"Oh great, feeding time." Sakura said as she got up to ring in Kitty. Kitty said she'd be in the nursery in a few moments.

"Doesn't Shoaling need your clothes?" Sakura asked as she stretched, trying to loosen her muscles.

"Oh yeah… after I take a shower and help you feed the twins."

"Such a sweet kawaii hubby I have."

Syaoran puffed out his chest. "Yes you do."

Sakura giggled as Kitty knocked on the nursery door. She opened it and got two bottles from Kitty.

"Thank you Kitty."

"You're welcome Mistress." Kitty bowed before leaving.

"Here, you take Taiyou." Sakura said handing a blue bottle to Syaoran, "I haven't fed Taihen in a long time."

Syaoran chuckled as he got his daughter from the crib and lightly pressed the bottle against her lips. She opened it and started vigorously sucking on it.

"They're starved." Syaoran said amazed.

"I think we forgot to feed them at 2 am… like we're supposed to." Sakura sweat dropped.

"That's because our alarm clock that wakes us up at two is in our bedroom." Syaoran said as he shook his head.

Sakura giggled. "Oh right, so that means my chubby little ones are extra hungry ne?"

Taihen snuggled against his mother's breasts as he sucked on his bottle.

"Aww! I love how soft baby skin is." Sakura commented as she smoothed out her sons' hair.

"Oi! What about my skin?" Syaoran said cheekily.

"Sorry Syaoran, old ugly men skin doesn't count."

"I'll show you old and ugly."

"Not with Taiyou in your arms you're not."

Syaoran sighed and turned to his daughter. "See what your mother does to me Ying?"

Taiyou stared up at her father, wondering what he was saying.

"They're only 1 man, give it a rest." Sakura said laughing.

Syaoran pouted. "Fine."

Sakura shook her head, not believing her husband at the moment. He's such a child. Sakura took the bottle away from a sleeping Taihen since he finished drinking it. She placed him in his crib as Syaoran did the same thing with Taiyou.

"Sleep tight," Sakura whispered as she turned on the baby monitors. She yawned as she walked to their bedroom and launched into her own bed.

"Oh, the sweet smell of Syaoran." Sakura winked at him before cuddling with her pillows.

"You were sleeping with me all night, and now you savour my scent?" Syaoran raised a brow.

"Oh shut up and go take a shower." Sakura muttered.

Syaoran chuckled as he kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"Yeah," Sakura mumbled sleep consuming her, "me too."

Syaoran shook his head, finding it utterly hilarious that his wife was falling asleep again. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower. But unknown to both of them, Shoaling waltzed into their bedroom to find a sleeping Sakura.

'Might as well start the act,' he said as he sat beside her.

"Hey, Sakura," He said in his most Syaoran-ish type of voice, shaking Sakura awake.

"Leave me alone Shoaling." Sakura mumbled.

"How can you tell I'm me?" Shoaling asked.

"Because Syaoran usually tickles me when he wants me to wa-" Sakura's eyes snapped open as she jumped up. "I just did not tell you I was ticklish."

Shoaling had the evilest smirk on his face. "I think you just did Sakura."

"SYAORAN!" Sakura screamed as Shoaling jumped at her, and started tickling her.

"Ge-t of-f of m-ee!" Sakura laughed out as Shoaling tickled her. Sakura, helplessly, started flailing around in hopes of hitting Shoaling.

"SHOALING! GET OFF!" Sakura screamed even louder, but her laughter drowned out her own screams. Syaoran came out a few minutes later to find the amusing sight of his twin brother tickling the senses out of his wife.

"Enjoying it down there?" He said referring to the fact that Shoaling tackled Sakura off of bed.

"Very much, you should try it sometime." Sakura teased as she wrapped her arms around Shoaling's neck.

"Kiss me again baby." Sakura winked at Shoaling who cracked up laughing. Syaoran chuckled hopelessly has he pulled his brother off of his wife.

"Next time you guys cheat on me, make sure it isn't my own bedroom when I'm in the shower." Syaoran advised.

"Will do." Sakura kissed Syaoran on the cheek before going in to the bathroom.

Syaoran faced his brother. "Enjoy tickling her?"

"Very much."

"I usually do." Syaoran laughed as he walked to his closet and brought out a few t-shirts and two pairs of pants. He handed them to Shoaling. "Wear these and give me some of yours alright."

Shoaling gestured to the bed where he placed two of his shirts and three of his pants.

"Our clothes are almost similar; why not just wear our own?" Shoaling asked.

"Mine is neater then yours. Unlike you, I iron after my clothes get washed."

"Excuse me for not being Prince of China as long as you have." Shoaling shot.

"Excused." Syaoran teased.

"Anyways, I gotta go change and then just send Sakura to my room ok?" Shoaling said.

"Yeah, sure." Syaoran muttered as he stood up. "Now leave, Sakura's gonna be done her shower soon."

"Sure thing man." Shoaling and Syaoran stood up and clapped each others back.

"Break a leg." Syaoran said.

"You too." Shoaling smiled.

"No, I was serious, break a leg." Syaoran teased.

"You stupid little-" They heard the shower turn off and Syaoran pushed Shoaling out of the room.

Sakura walked out with her hair tied up in a bun and with her undergarments on.

"I have come, to satisfy you." Sakura teased in a British accent.

"Satisfy away." Syaoran gestured like a mafia as he sat on his bed.

Sakura walked over, making sure her hips swayed a bit and sat on his lap, Syaoran raised a brow as Sakura dragged her finger over his face. "I shall." She whispered as she pressed her lips against his. Syaoran instantly changed positions and made Sakura lay down on the bed and him on top of her.

(Just for ref, Sakura knew that Syaoran would push Shoaling out of the bedroom and the bedroom door was closed and locked.)

"Syao-ran." Sakura moaned out as his kisses trailed down to her chest. She arched her back as Syaoran fiddled with the straps of her bra.

"Oh please tell me we are not gonna have sex first thing in the morning?" Sakura asked as she pushed Syaoran away.

"Can we?" Syaoran pouted.

"No we can't." Sakura pushed him off and walked into their walk-in closet. She grabbed a sundress and put it on. She walked back into the bathroom to blow dry her hair.

"Shoaling said after you're done, go to his room." Syaoran said as he brushed his hair.

"Oh, he wasn't done with Mistress Seductive?" Sakura teased.

"I swear if you kiss him, I'll kill him." Syaoran said winking at her.

"We'll do more then kiss." Sakura teased.

"Serious now, just be careful alright?" Syaoran said as he hugged Sakura.

"I will, after all, I get to see you every night."

"Cute." Syaoran said as he kissed Sakura fully, passionately and lovingly.

After Sakura blow dried her hair, she kissed the twins and Syaoran one last time before walking to her brother-in-law's room.

Sakura hopped along the corridor, wondering if this plan will really follow through.

'I just hope that Shoaling knows what he's talking about.' Sakura thought as she knocked on his door.

"Come in." He said. Sakura walked in to find him wearing Syaorans' clothes.

"Wow, you look exactly like him… it's just-" Sakura walked over to him and messed up his hair.

"There, carbon copy." Sakura smiled as Shoaling inspected himself in the mirror.

"Hmm… you're right." Shoaling said examining him self.

"Tell me again why we're doing this? You guys could just act like yourselves." Sakura said.

"Yes but Syaoran has a way of frightening people. Ever notice his eyes."

"I'm his wife, of course I notice his eyes." Sakura pointed out.

"… oh yeah. Forgot that."

"You idiot." Sakura thawaped his head.

"Watch it!"

"So that's why you and Syaoran trade spaces? Syaoran –using his intense eyes- makes Hitomi and Kiyoumi confess. Well not confess but somewhat to that extent?" Sakura asked raising a brow.

"That's what my plan was. I told you that yesterday didn't I?"

Sakura sighed. "Yes you did, but now I have my doubts."

"Syaoran can do it, don't worry." Shoaling reassured his sister-in-law.

"He can, I know that, it's just that everybody else will figure out who's who. And besides, Syaoran has work this afternoon. Board Meeting."

Shoaling frowned. "Forgot about that, oh well, both of us will go as our real selves."

"I'm getting more and more confused day and night. Don't Syaoran and I kiss in public?" Sakura said grinning.

"What? Don't you want to kiss me?" Shoaling pouted.

"Ew no!" Sakura teased.

"Harsh. Anyways, let's go." Shoaling wrapped an arm around Sakura's waist and they both left his room to Sakura's room. They entered and found Syaoran all dressed up in Shoalings' clothes.

"I swear the hair is dead give away!" Sakura shrilled as she walked up to Syaoran and slightly combed it down, making it look somewhat similar to Shoalings'.

The brothers laughed. "Sorry if our hair is so different." Syaoran teased his wife.

"Out of everything God could have given you twins, he doesn't give you the same hair." Sakura shook her head as she gelled Syaorans' hair down and hair sprayed Shoalings' hair up.

"Now you two look like each other."

The brothers looked at each other and indeed it seemed as if they were looking in a mirror.

"Goes to show you what my wife can do." Syaoran chuckled.

"Oh har har." Sakura pouted as she kissed her husband.

"Hey Syaoran, we kiss a lot in public." Sakura smiled.

"Yes I know, so?"

"So if Shoaling as to pretend to be my husband…" Sakura trailed off as Syaoran's eyes widened.

"You are not kissing my brother in public!" Syaoran roared.

"But she –has- to." Shoaling smiled.

"Oh no, just pretend you vowed not to kiss me until Hiro is defeated." Syaoran said.

"Darling, if I do that then I really can't kiss you when this whole act is over."

"I DON'T CARE!" Syaoran roared.

"Heesh, you stubborn mule, alright she won't kiss me." Shoaling said shaking his head.

"Ok so we're doing this because Syaoran has this effect on people that they have to tell him whenever he's mad at them. Shoaling's just to nice for that. Syaoran goes to his 'girlfriend' and somehow manages to get her betrayal out."

"But how does that really help us?" Syaoran asked.

Shoaling smiled. "You leave that part to me."

Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances.

'We're in for a hell of a lot of trouble now.' Screamed in the minds of the married couple…


So did you enjoy it? You know part 1 of the plan, but what about part two? Alright I'm just really crazy, it's insanely hot right now and I can't think!

Just tell me how I did…

Lub, Sakura

BTW, if any of my old reviewers (like seriously two years ago) have saved or have my chapters of my previous story Hawk Eyes then could you please contact me? I'm planning on reposting that story eventually but I do not have the chapters. So if you have them I would appreciate you telling me so I can repost it. Thank you.
