Chapter 8: Zang Zi

I lifted my chin and stared at him square in the face. How dare he think Kinomoto Sakura would be afraid of him! The gut of this guy!

"Syaoron, You're overreacting!"

"Overreacting? Overreacting huh? Well why wouldn't I Sakura? Look who just walked in…I mean when were you going to tell me? On my deathbed?"

"Actually yes if you don't stop shouting right now!" I replied with a strained whisper.

Syaoron grumbled and let out a long sigh. He waived the curious servants away and crossed his arms when he faces me again.

"Who do you think you are to shout at my Okaa-san!" Zang Zi said angrily.

Syaoron also gave her the death glare and as if it hit Zang Zi hard she gasped and returned the death glare.

"Sakura?" Syaoron said again. His voice more controlled but I cringed inwardly anyways. Him more controlled sounded scarier, but I would never admit that…only to you readers…

I sighed forlornly and looked at him again "Yes Syaoron…This is my daughter Zang Zi Kinomoto, She is yours and my daughter…there! Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Syaoron was quiet trying to reassess all the things that had just happened.

"Marry Me!"

I stared at him in disbelief…it suddenly dawned on me why he felt obligated to marry me and I felt the last shreds of my heart rip apart.

"I don't need your charity! Zang Zi and I have been fine for so many years "without" you" I held Zang Zi's shoulder as she also looked at me in wonderment that this was her father and immediately launched upon that idea.

"Okaa-san…can't I get to know my dad then?"

"No!" I shook my head in fear…I didn't want her heart to break if and when I finish my mission it'd just be her and me again.

"Sakura…" Syaoron tried "Please won't you just face it that I want to be a part of your life and Zang Zi's to" Syaoron said softly holding me in his arms. I felt his heart beat underneath where I rested my head and I shook my head no.

"Saku…it just hurts that you didn't tell me…but how…I don't remember…"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you but…" A tear slid down my face and I chided myself for being weak all of a sudden.

"But I was afraid since she was created the day I told you I loved you…the night before I l left Syaoron…"

"But how come I don't remember?" Syaoron asked softly looking into my emerald eyes. I felt as if his amber ones drew the truth from me as he searched my eyes gently and wiped the lone tear out of the corner of my eye.

"Because you thought I was Suki!" I answered bitterly and looked away. I pulled Zang Zi to me and attempted to leave but I felt his hand touch my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Saku…let's begin again…"
"I can't!" I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see the pain that filled his eyes.

"Okaa-san…" Zang Zi said softly and I felt her tiny hand tighten in mine. "If that's my Otou-san…can't I stay a while and get to know him; please?"

"NO! Zang Zi…don't you understand you're Otou-san has a different family and he won't be with you and me forever! He won't remember you and me when we leave and it'll hurt you more only Zang Zi…"

Tears filled her eyes as she turned to look at her newfound father. A lone tear fell as she shakily asked if he had a little girl just like her who already filled his heart.

It broke my heart as she was a strong girl like myself and didn't cry much. With tears that threatened to fall as she awaited an answer I wanted to hold my little girl and just disappear wishing this wasn't the way it was…but it was…reality was Harsh…too harsh on my little girl.

"Saku…don't you dare lie to her anymore…"Syaoron said and leaned down to come face to face with his daughter.

"Stop it Syaoron…you shall not need to know Zang Zi…you'll only hurt her more when she and I leave…"

Syaoron ignored my weak protest and pulled Zang zi little body into his embrace. He slowly wiped away her tears and smiled at her. "I'm sorry Zang Zi…you're mother never told me of you…if I knew you'd be with me since the day you were born…" Syaoron paused and looked at the uncertainty that passed over Zang Zi face.

"Don't push me out Zang Zi…let me know you…let me make up the time I lost with you…"

Zang Zi let out a burst of tears and flew into her father's arms. I watched as they embraced as if there was no tomorrow and heard Syaoron whisper that she was his only little girl and he never wanted another little girl as much as he wanted her.

Zang Zi had giggled at that and told her father that he didn't even know her.

He smiled and replied that he felt as if he knows her already because she was so much like him and any of his children would be smart.

Syaoron finally looked back me when he picked up Zang Zi. He smiled and held his hand out to me.

"Saku…please won't you become a family with me?"

I hesitated of course…how could a man just pick up a woman so gratefully like this? Especially since I was his wife's sister? Every doubt in my head cam into view at that moment so I did the only thing I could and turned away from him stubbornly. I wouldn't fall for love again…besides what would he feel? How WOULD he feel if I told him I was a cold-blooded killer?

"Saku…This is perfect for a family…you and me…with the two kids…Xaio Rei needs you and Zang Zi needs me"

"You're wrong…" I said in a whisper "Zang Zi doesn't need you and Xaio Rei only needs me as a aunt, nothing more or less."

Syaoron sighed and set Zang Zi down. I thought quickly of what was to happen and pulled Zang Zi away heading to the front door. Sadly he's pretty fast himself and caught my arm as quick as lighting to. I faced him with my emotionless mask but I felt his amber pools searching mine for some emotion. It was hard to fake it off with him but I tried my best…it must not have work since he held me close and said…

"Don't Saku…don't push me away like this…don't push away my love…I just want you by my side…"

A smirk lit my face and I looked him straight in his eyes. "Funny…you said almost the exact same thing to Suki."

Syaoron eyes touched with worry looked into my cold eyes. I knew I shouldn't do anything worth catching right now…but damn that man knew how to melt my defense.

Syaoron had gently bent his head and the next thing I knew his lips were parting my WILLING ones. I guess we got caught up as one small kiss turned to several rounds. I even forgot my little girl was watching and clung on to him like some common slut. I was NOT dignifies at that moment but I didn't care when I felt Syaoron holding me gently and loving only me. It was a dream that had finally come true and my senses found it hard to break free where my brain has taught me better.

We came up for air and I immediately tried to turn away only to run into his lips again. I opened my eyes and saw my little girl with a grin on her face. I for the first time in years felt a blush rise on my cheeks.

A throat cleared and I broke away looking towards the door and noticed Syaoron and I had other spectators.

"Yelen-sama" I said and bowed my head.

"Xaio-Lang…I believe I still cannot understand why you ravish our guest" Yelen said pointing out the indecency of this "act" she'd just saw. I waited for my turn as she turned and swished her fan a couple times. " Ying Fa…do you understand that Xaio-Lang is engaged to be married any day now?"

"I do…" I said with a low bow. I held Zang Zi's hand as I felt her almost retort back at her grandmother.

Zang zi was born in Taiwan, which taught her Chinese, and I extended her teaching to Mandarin and Cantonese. I myself saw to her learning Japanese though. Even if I swore not to bother Suki's and Syaoron life I couldn't break away from my culture…

Syaoron was NOT helping the situation as he took my hand in his and held Zang Zi's shoulder next to me.

"Ma…meet my family…" Syaoron said without any doubt. I felt a swaying happiness yet I knew I couldn't trust all this! He was doing it because he was honor-bound! I didn't want that from him. I knew that's not what I wanted from the moment I felt tears touch my eyes to the very second I pulled Zang Zi and myself out of his embrace.

"She's your daughter?" Yelen asked a little surprised

"She is!" Syaoron stated

"I wasn't asking you1" Yelen snapped at Syaoron. Her eyes met mine again as I nodded.

"The father is?" she continued to drill in a soothing tone. Many years as a assassin told me the cat was cleaning it's claws to launch an attack.

"Syaoron" I said lifting my head.

"You aren't as innocent as I thought you were" Yelen said

"I'm sorry if you had that impression of me Yelen-sama because although I have his child I assure you there is nothing more to it"

Syaoron glared at me and Zang Zi remained quiet.

"Is this child dumb?" Yelen asked looking at Zang Zi.

I felt anger rise into my veins and I swear if it was just she and I she'd been smacked across the face. Zang Zi was simply not stupid "I" was just holding her tongue!

Zang Zi of course with my temper looked up and flashed her father's death glare at her grandmother and took a deep breath. I didn't want to stop her even if I knew I should because her, being my daughter could blow things out of proportion.

I saw Yelen let out a gasp at the resemblance between herself and Syaoron in Zang Zi. Her registering the fact soon took the shock off and she glanced to see is the child was indeed dumb or not.

"You must be my grandmother whom I've never met…Thank god!" Zang zi said sweetly turning her emotionless mask into a small smirk.

Yelen glared at her and noticed this girl was no ordinary girl to follow directions as Xaio Rei.

"you've let this child out of reins for to long1' she informed me "you better put the leash back on…"

"I shall not!" I retorted to her. I saw her glare at me at my outburst and dismissed me to turn back to Zang zi.

"You girl need to learn manners to old people such as a distinguished adult such as myself"

"I've been taught to be nice to everyone but I don't take insults quite the same way" Zang Zi shot back.

Yelen was quiet for a few minutes and then she turned away…

"Xaio Ru…do you really want her?"

"I do" Xaio Ru said, "I can easily pass off Zang Zi as my own child"

"I think NOT" Syaoron said with anger tinting his voice. "They are my family and I take full responsibility"

Yelen glared at Syaoron

"Xaio-Lang what part of engaged Do you not get? It's as easily as you are not free! You shall marry Zhou Wei as she wishes you to! Do not disgrace this family today!"

"Excuse me!" I announced and pulled Zang Zi out with me. Sick of this family was I and I saw Xaio Rei give me a look as I walked out of the room.. He followed me out as he ignored orders to stay put.

I had to smile a little. So like his father as he followed me quickly and stopped me upstairs.

"Auntie Saku…do you not like daddy?" Xaio Rei asked quietly.

I bent down to face him and introduced Zang Zi. I could see they would be fast friends as they both smiled at each other shyly.

Like his father though he didn't forget his question and faced me once more.

"Xaio Rei...I can't love your daddy…he's engaged"

"But I want you as my mommy…if not you then no one!" he swore like a little solider.

I glanced up and saw Syaoron heading towards me in full speed as well.

I stood and faced him

"Saku!" Syaoron started
"I know I've made a lot of mistakes but I've finally realized many of them and I'd like it if we tried again for the children…for us…for everything I hold dear…"

I closed my eyes as the same images overcame me and a part of the frozen Syaoron in me opened its eyes for one more try.

I opened my eyes to come face to face with his hopeful amber ones. I sighed as he looked away.

"Okay…" I whispered

He shot his head up and looked at me seriously searching every sign of me for an emotion. I smiled and giggled when he hugged me and pulled the kids into his embrace to.

"I want to be with you Saku…with "our" two kids…"

I leaned on his shoulder and sighed softly. I was content for the moment and finally I think I felt the weight of the world off my shoulder with his arm around me and his laughter as Xaio Rei and Zang Zi described things they wanted him to know about themselves.

"Wo ai ni Ying Fa" Syaoron whispered into my ear between one of the kids sentences and I could do nothing but bury my head into his shoulder in happiness, hoping, wishing this was for real…

"I refuse to break off your wedding!" Yelen voice disturbing my "new" family outside my door, She stood at the stairway and looked at us huddling in front of my door.

"Ma! Saku is going to marry me, with or without your approval!"

Zang Zi and Xaio Rei nodded as well and pushed their hands into Syaoron and mine. Yelen narrowed her eyes at all of us…

"Fine Syaoron…but remember you'll never escape me nor my will for you!"

I smiled as she turned abruptly and left. I pushed my self into his arms and felt them wrap around me safely. I didn't leave his arms until my phone went off.

"Yeah?" I answered

"Mission complete?" a high voice said

"No…you can find someone else because I decline this deal…" I hung up and knew that I did the right thing. I'd never be able to kill the man I loved more than my life. I assured him nothing was up with a smile and I opened the door to allow all of them into my room.

During those three hours I'd never been so carefree since I was a teenager. I watched as each of our children drifted to sleep after watching a movie in my room and we moved them into Xaio Rei's room, which had a connecting door to my room. I closed the door and looked at Syaoron who stood by the window. I knew I couldn't avoid him anymore so why not give up? He was the only one who had ever conquered Kinomoto Sakura…and he'd be the only one…

"Saku"

I broke out of memories and thinking to find him standing before me. I smiled a little and put my head on his shoulder.

"Wo ai Ni" he whispered again and I nodded.

"I love you too," I whispered back.

I lifted my face to his silhouetted one from the moonlight. He gently placed his lips on mine and that was enough to light millions of after kisses.

I gladly wrapped my arm around his neck as he placed me on my bed. Not allowing him to leave me I rolled him under and lay on his shoulder.

I heard him groan and I knew that he knew all I wanted was for him to spend the night in a decent way.

"Saku…"

"The kid's are next door" I informed him and hugged him to me…
maybe tomorrow" I whispered sexily

I saw his grin and he regretfully held me close.

After his breath even out I studied his look and wondered if what I didn't was right again…was this what I wanted all along? To be with him…
