DISCLAIMER: On the snap of my fingers I will own CCS, snap…..... ... ....Awwww it didn't work!

--Chappie Eighteen--

--A Choice and A Reunion--

"Dinner is served," Wei walked out of the living room where two people sat chatting seriously.

"I thank you for inviting me to dinner, Yelan-san. But was it necessary to force everyone to attend? I don't need a big welcome, really and I don't see why this is so important..."

The stranger smiled amusedly.

Yelan held her head up high, her voice indignant, "I don't know why you would say such a thing. I thought I would like to introduce everyone to the new hired Li wedding planner. The bride to be admires your work very much."

The young male laughed and followed Yelan to the dining room.

"So, why did Li-san want all of us here today?" Tomoyo looked around uncertainly at everyone's gloomy expressions.

Meiling shrugged, Kai looked around barely listening, Eriol was busy marveling at his reflection on the spoon, Sakura glanced nervously at Syaoran, Rioka was looking lovingly at her fiancé, and Syaoran avoided the gazes of both.

After a couple of silent answers, Tomoyo snapped, "Dammit! Am I the only live person in this friggin' house?!?!?!"

Everyone's head swerved to Tomoyo's direction and a strong voice answered her previous question.

"I believe, Daidouji-san, I was thinking the same."

All at once, everyone's attention turned to Yelan.

The stranger standing next to Yelan instantly turned into a sick shade of ashen green when he glanced at Sakura, his face turned pale seeing Tomoyo, and when his gaze came across Rioka, he smiled but immediately frowned, seeing a baby clutching to her.

Tomoyo, amazed at his response to seeing them, critically stared at the man standing beside Yelan.

Looking him over, she recognized his profile.

FLASHBACK

Tomoyo's eyes turned red with anger, you could feel the heat that started to grow, when she came to the next name.

Pazu Kiyume:

Age: 22

Eye Color: Honey Brown

Hair Color: Brown

Height: 5' 7"

Weight: 211

Occupation: Lawyer

Birthday: October 17, 1981

Sign: Libra

Martial Status: Single, Divorced, 2 children

"My, my, my, my, myyyyyyy…I can see why she left you! And your wife too!"

Started Dating: January 12, 2003

Reason for breakup: TWO TIMING SAKURA!!! Actually his wife, Lian. Reason of divorce!

Dated how long: 10 months 2 weeks 17 hrs 45 mins 15 secs

"Scumbag, he made Sakura's heart shatter! Used a fake name that—that good for nothing………No wonder his records were clean…a little too clean!"

Sakura cheerful face popped inside the room, "Tomoyo-chan, are you alright? I heard you yelling."

Tomoyo cooled down, "Why yes, Saku, I'm just fine. How are you?"

"Just sore but I'll be alright" With that, Sakura left the room.

"Whoa! That was close." She scolded herself and continued searching the database.

END

It seemed that Sakura had recognized him because she blanched Sakura, while Tomoyo's eyes continued to twitch.

What was really strange was Rioka's reaction as she grabbed her baby from his highchair.

The males looked at the three females with their eyebrows quirked.

The silence remained in the stunned dining room for quite a while until Yelan coughed, speaking up.

"As you can see, we have a guest."

The man bowed to the others and named himself in Japanese, "Konnichiwa, watashi wa Kiyume Pazu desu. (Hello, my name is Pazu Kiyume.)It's nice to meet you."

Tomoyo stood up, her chair falling to the ground, alarming everyone out of his or her seats.

"That's not Kiyume Pazu! He's a traitor a liar and CHEATER. A BIG FREAKY LIAR!!!"

Eriol assessed the man before them and glared. What did this "Pazu Kiyume" do to poor sweet loving Tomoyo to make her into such a monster?

He rushed to Tomoyo's side and held her hand, "What did this despicable demon character do to you, my Tomoyo."

At hearing the words, 'despicable and demon' in the same sentence made Pazu's honey brown eyes darken.

Tomoyo gripped Eriol's hand in hers, patting it, "He's not my problem, Eriol-kun."

A slight, unfeeling smile made its way to Pazu's lips, "I knew I would be familiar to you, Daidouji-san, but I didn't know you'd be here…and Sakura-san…lovely as always I see."

Sakura sniffed in disgust, looking away.

A flash of dislike crossed Syaoran's amber eyes. Who does this chum think he is? Questions raced through Syaoran's mind as he watched Kiyume's eyes survey Sakura with burning interest.

Syaoran glanced at his mother, who was looking at him, seeing a strange flicker of a smile pass through her thin lips.

"Ah! So some of you still don't know the tale about Sakura and I, ne? Well it's an amusing story, you see."

He gestured his hand to Tomoyo, who was seething with anger.

"Daidouji here introduced me to Sakura and I instantly felt a connection."

Sakura narrowed her eyes dangerously as Pazu passed a flying kiss to her, Syaoran growled warningly which went unnoticed to anyone but Pazu.

"You see, I was very attracted to her and well I used many identities to protect myself from government officials. So Daidouji found my record clean like a slate. No, I wasn't running away from the law…I just had some things that had gone undone through the years that I had to change my identities so many times. I was single…yes single…"

Tomoyo opened to mouth to protest, but Kiyume interrupted, "You see Daidouji came across another of my many identities, under the a different, different birthplace, martial status, and date of birth, but it was the same physical profile. As she revealed that to Sakura, she broke up with me and since then I've been single. That's when I moved to Tokyo and later on here to Hong Kong, China."

Syaoran bit his tongue, looking at the man who last dated Sakura. He looked at him up and down, wondering why Sakura would date such a guy. He took a quick glance at Sakura and saw her lighten at the story.

"So I was never married or had a wife named Lian, or neither did I have two children, Daidouji…I was a man trying to escape some trouble by changing some things on my records."

"So, Sakura," Kiyume-san asked fondly, "do you forgive me for not telling you sooner?"

Everyone's attention diverted to Sakura who hesitantly answered.

She saw the look of disappointment on Syaoran's face and added, ""I forgive you. But I cannot offer my love to you. I harbor no feelings of nothing but friendship to you, Kiyume-kun."

At those words, Syaoran looked up and stared at Sakura. She was such a forgiving person.

Pazu smiled looking with a far way expression, "It's alright Sakura. And by the way, I'm in love with someone else. I just thought I owed you that much."

Tomoyo snarled, not convinced, "If Pazu Kiyume isn't your real name what is it, you think you can forgive your way out of my grip! Well you've got another thing coming, mister."

His gaze continued on its way and stopped to meet Rioka's neon green eyes.

Rioka gasped, she recognized him almost immediately. She had seen his brown hair constantly for the past one-year and a half, her son's hair color.

"Ghouzu Ling? You bastard!"

A number of collective gasps went around.

"Uh, Rioka? You know Pazu or umm as you mentioned…Ling?"

Rioka's forehead creased in anger.

"Oh course I know this punk! He's the one who raped me almost two years ago!"

Ling flushed hotly from the questioning stares of Tomoyo and Sakura.

Rioka rushed to the dining room phone.

"And just what do you think you're doing, Seshumi-san?"

Yelan looked from the phone on Rioka's hand to Rei Lang.

"What does it look like? I'm getting him arrested," A sudden look fear appeared on Ling's handsome face as Rioka continued, "That jerk has no right to be walking around the streets raping people! I need revenge!"

Yelan walked up to Rioka and disconnected to phone, making everyone shake their heads in confusion, "You will not call the police on your wedding planner, now do we?"

Rioka protested as Yelan rolled up the connection cord of the phone and the words that were spoken traveled slowly to her brain, "W-wedding Planner?"

"Yes, wedding planner. The best. As I heard from you the previous weeks ago that you wanted to meet this and I quote, 'most creative planner of the biggest event in my life' and here he is, Seshumi."

"B-B-but I thought he was a she…with such great taste in wedding band choices, decorative colors, and--and catering food? That was him all along?!?!" Rioka pointed a trembling finger to Ling.

Yelan pressed Rioka's trembling finger down and smiled grimly, "Yes."

Syaoran shook his head, looking at the guy who dated Sakura before him and dated Rioka after him. It was such a small world now that he thought about it.

A moment of silence passed by until Meiling squealed, "OMG! It is you! THE NUMBER ONE WEDDING PLANNER IN ASIA!!!! I've been meaning to contact you!"

She quickly ran around Ling making everyone spin in dizziness and cover their ears in pain.

As each person finished their meal, Meiling constantly talked on and on about her dream wedding to Ling who was nodding and smiling kindly to Meiling. Rioka glowered at him from behind the book she was reading and feeding Rei Lang at the same time.

After a few moments, they were all in the living room talking, reading, or just keeping quiet.

Tomoyo and Eriol were giggling madly, as if they were flirting.

Sakura rolled her eyes watching them and sighed at the sight of affection.

Meiling listened to Yelan telling one of her youthful stories about marriage and bragging about all the suitors who used to propose to her every single week.

It was then she realized that Syaoran was missing, as was Ling.

She glanced around the room and walked to the balcony, seeing that Syaoran was conversing with Ghouzu-san.

She usually wasn't a very nosy person, but this time she couldn't resist.

"I hope I'm not troubling you, Li-san. Especially when you think of me of such a bad person but I want you to hear the story first hand." Ling looked out to the horizon.

Syaoran nodded gravely.

"Well, you see, a while back, two years ago, I became friends with Rioka. She just moved in to Tokyo with her family and somehow we became friends. But she was always sad when I would take her out to have some fun, her eyes would always dim seeing things like the color green or the mention of love and China."

Syaoran looked down, listening intently, "Yeah, we were each other's first love, you see."

A glimmer of knowing passed through Ling's honey eyes, "Ah! So you were the one known as 'Xiao Lang'. You know she was very in love with you. It took her months until she seemed to heal. But that night when I took her out…someone in that club slipped ecstasy into her drink. I should've realized it when she started acting high. I was really thirsty when she asked me to dance with her and when I took a sip of her beverage, nothing tasted funny."

Ling head drooped down in shame on the next words, "I didn't know at the time, but I realized it the next morning when I couldn't remember anything and finding her in my arms."

He rested his head on his arms, sighing regretfully.

"I left that morning, feeling ashamed. I felt guilty because during those past few months…I began to feel more than friendship with her. I realized I loved her. But I know that she can't have loved me. Congratulations, Xiao Lang-san. You have a baby with her and you're marrying the most wonderful woman I've ever met, besides Sakura."

Relief washed over Syaoran's face, as he understood Ling's story.

"If you want Rioka…you can have her."

Ling snarled at the statement, at the sound of eagerness in Syaoran's voice as if he wanted to get rid of Rioka, "How dare you. You act as if you don't love her. She even had your kid!"

He prepared to tackle the man before him, when he heard Syaoran laugh nervously.

"I guess no one told you that this was a forced marriage or that the baby isn't mine?"

Ling drew back, "What do you mean by forced marriage and the baby not being yours?"

Syaoran gestured Ling to follow him to the balcony chairs.

As they sat, Syaoran closed his eyes in reminisce and opened his eyes once again.

"It's really a simple story, Ghouzu-san. Rioka is the daughter of my father's half-sister, making her a Li by birth. Since my former fiancée rejects to be my wife…Rioka seized the opportunity to be my fiancée because she believes she still loves me. Though she had a baby, the Li elders accepted her against my will." Syaoran scratched his head, "As for the baby, Rei Lang…I don't know who's the father at all. All though, I did hear that she was raped and the father of the baby left."

His eyes screwed up in concentration, "Hey! That sounds oddly familiar…It sounds like your story!"

Ling paled as if he saw a ghost, "I-I-I-I-I-I have a baby? I have a baby."

Syaoran quirked an eyebrow questioningly, "You have a baby?"

He slapped Ling on the back, approvingly, "Really?! Congratulations, you rascal! That's great! So Rioka was an old flame?"

Ling shook his head and pushed away Syaoran's arm, "Li, for a serious person, you really are a dense guy! I meant I may have a baby with Rioka! Not with another woman!"

"OoOoOooooOh! I see, Rei Lang is yours or is Rioka having another baby? Wait a minute…my fiancée is cheating on me?!?!?!?"

Once again, Ling slapped his hand to his forehead, "No, Li-san. You said so yourself that the baby Rioka has is mine."

Syaoran shook his head, "Nuh uh! I said it sounded like your situation."

Ling took Syaoran by the shoulders and shook him violently.

"Li-san, you baka (idiot)! I am the person in her story! I am the rapist she talks about! I'm the one who fathered her baby!"

Syaoran took a glass of champagne out of nowhere and started to drink a little, "OoOOoOoOh I see. You're a rapist? I didn't know that."

" …O.O;; …j-Just forget it, Li-san!"

Sakura giggled madly, hearing Syaoran act like a fool. He may be dense but he wasn't that dense. She knew that he was just trying to annoy Ling into talking to Rioka. A flicker of hope roused within her, maybe Ling was the key to giving Rioka love and forgetting about marriage to Syaoran?

She sighed, climbing up the stairs. Whatever would happen to Rioka, she hope for her to have the best and as a friend comes first, Sakura would do anything to make Rioka happy even if it meant sacrificing the one she loved.

Ling came out of the balcony doors spotting Sakura going up the stairs. Almost everyone in the living room was still there.

He heaved a sigh, watching Rioka tend to Rei Lang, his possible child.

A second later Syaoran also emerged from the doors and closed the cool night air off from the lighted room.

As soon as the drafty chill disappeared from the room, Yelan stood up to make an announcement.

"Well, we have reached the quarter mark since the engagement took place over six months ago. It is told from the Li elders that Rioka has a choice."

As her name was mentioned, Rioka looked up to meet Yelan's dark eyes.

"She has a choice to go on with the wedding or…to marry another. She has two weeks to make her decision. No one and even her will know of the decision until those two weeks."

Rioka stood up from her spot, "Yelan-san, you already know of my answer. I don't nee--"

"Uh uh uhhhhhhh, Rioka-san…I said two weeks. That means no talking to Xiao Lang or coming in contact with him for those weeks, Li orders. If you do, then there will be no marriage."

That clamped Rioka's mouth shut.

A surge of happiness filled Syaoran at the mention of not speaking to or seeing Rioka for two whole weeks it was heaven. He could imagine it now, spinning Sakura around the gardens without Rioka spying on him, all the plots put into play to get rid of her. Oh! The wonderful things those two weeks would give him!

A silent whoop of glory made him smile internally as he quickly went up the stairs, yelling his head off, he felt like he was gliding on cloud nine.

Rioka huffed at Yelan, "You planned this. But I will never ever give up on Xiao Lang!"

With that, she stomped off to the gym to reflex all her stress away.

Ling watched with lost eyes, 'Maybe there's a chance for me after all…'

Sakura had made a decision. She wasn't going to confess to Rioka about her relationship with Syaoran.

Syaoran said four days? Well it's going to be longer than that! An eternity!

She paced around her room, literally pulling out her hair.

"Ever since I came here it's been stress for me! Was I meant to be unhappy all my life? I wish I never seen this place!"

"Does that mean you never want to see me again?"

The chilling voice made Sakura turn around frantically.

Syaoran stood at her threshold, leaning against it. His amber eyes surveying her body slowly.

Her cheeks pinked slightly.

"Umm Li-sa--"

He swiftly stepped in front of her and put his arms around her waist, making her stumble back in surprise.

Syaoran kissed the curve of her soft neck, skimming through it, seductively.

He leaned against her ear, whispering, "I said to call me Syaoran."

Somehow Sakura ended up against her bedroom wall. Syaoran placing his hands on both sides of her, he took her hands and spread light kisses on them, up her arms, giving her goose bumps along the way, and looked at her shimmering emerald eyes.

A moment later, he swooped down for a kiss, making her forget why he was there in the first place.

He took her bottom lip tenderly between his parted mouth, soothing it, making her relax to his exploring ones. A moan escaped her lips as she put her hands into his lustrous short hair, which entangled itself to her fingers.

As they broke apart, it was then Sakura remembered the promise that he made exactly four days ago.

She gasped, slapping him away.

"And who are you to break promises?" She pouted childishly, "Even promises you've made?"

He chuckled at her childish act and pinched her cheeks, "Aren't you a cute baby?"

Sakura tore her face away from his pinching fingers and glared mockingly.

Syaoran put his hands up in surrender, "Alright! Alright! If you didn't want me that badly, I'll leave you alone…for the rest of your life."

Her eyes widened pulled Syaoran into her embrace, "No! No! No! Okay Okay! You win."

Syaoran did a little victory dance before he turned serious again.

"As you didn't hear, Rioka has choice now. She could either break off the engagement," A happy smile caressed his lips, "Or she could run off and leave me for another man. And when that happens I will go to a river and cry 'boo hoo' "

Syaoran rubbed his eyes in drama, but the laughter in his eyes was evident.

A slender finger pressed against his muttering lips and emerald eyes stared into his questioning amber flames.

"Would you cry for me if I left you?"

Syaoran searched her eyes, seeing her staring back at him, critically.

"Sakura?"

A sunny smiled cut through her dark expression, "I wasn't serious, Syaoran!"

"sigh What am I going to do with you Sakura."

As if a light bulb lit up in his dim head, his fang teeth shone brightly into a devilish smirk.

"I know…"

Sakura backed up against her bedroom door, closing it. She giggled seeing the wolfish smile appear on his handsome face.

She realized it was a mistake since it was an EVIL smile!

She gulped audible as Syaoran pounced on her tickling her mercifully.

Sakura opened her mouth to scream but Syaoran caught her lips with his, muffling her surprise.

The darkened room was only filled with moonlight as they both fell to the floor, laughing madly.

The couple was reunited once again.
