Chapter Sixteen

:------------------------------:

By the time Hino's death was on the news it was too late for anyone to help him. Kaori was devastated at the death of her husband. And she also had the child to think about.

:-------------------------------:

"Oh my god…" Sakura suddenly commented. Syaoran looked up, "What?" "Hino and Kaori's child…that means…it was…" "A vampire child, yes," Syaoran said softly. Sakura started shaking her head in disbelief, "How can that be though?…Than how did the child die?" Now Syaoran was the one confused, "What do you mean how did it die?" Sakura took his hands in her lap, "Clow-sama told me that you killed the child when you sent it away."

Syaoran looked at her shocked, "I may have wanted revenge on the parents, but I would never hurt an innocent child." "Than where is the boy now?" Yue asked scared of what Syaoran might say. "Hino? Well he's still in England." "You named him Hino?" Sakura said giving him a look. Syaoran shrugged his shoulders, "He was named after his late father, nothing wrong with that."

"How old is he now?" Sakura asked Syaoran. "Old," was his rough reply. Sakura crossed her arms, "What's he do?" Syaoran shrugged, "Handling some of my business." Sakura glared at Syaoran, "And you never even bothered to tell me about this." "I thought you knew," Syaoran said honestly. Sakura sighed, "Just keep telling the damn story."

:-----------------------------:

Syaoran had somehow found a way to convince the Queen that he was very much in love with Kaori and that he would do all he can to help her raise the child she had with Hino. So the Queen had offered to help the two get married. So after the marriage everything in the twos relationship went downhill.

"So this was all a set up! You and Hino were in love with each other all along!" Syaoran yelled at her as he smacked her across the face. Kaori laughed, "Yeah, and you were too dense to notice!" Syaoran snarled, "How could you? How could you be such a bitch!" "It was either you or me Syaoran. I couldn't let you kill the one I love!" she answered easily. Syaoran hit her across the face again, "So what was I too you than? Just a toy?"

Kaori smirked, "Yeah, you meant nothing to me Syaoran!" "You're going to wish you never said that!" Syaoran yelled back. Kaori snarled, "And what do you plan to do?" This time it was Syaoran's turn to smirk, "I'm taking your son." And with that he sent Hino to England. Kaori was furious at what her 'husband' had done. "Don't you dare kill him! He's the only real vampire child!" Kaori had threatened.

Syaoran had laughed at her threats, "And what can you do? Kill me? Kaori…Kaori…you aren't strong enough. So if you can please me…than your son can live." And with that the pregnancy came. But due to their loveless marriage the baby was soon a miscarriage.

"God I'm giving up on you!" Syaoran growled out. "What are you talking about?" Kaori asked bitterly. Syaoran stared at her, "I'm leaving, damn it. Take care of yourself," and with that he flew off into the night. Kaori sat there in shock. He was just going to LEAVE like that. Like everything was okay. Kaori growled but realized after the miscarriage her body was too weak to move. So she just laid there as the maids tended to her.

:------------------------:

"So you're telling me, their son is somewhere in England working for you?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded, "You didn't really think I could kill a child did you?" Sakura looked away, "Well honestly…" Syaoran wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him, "Don't you dare think that way again Saku. I love you with all my heart I would never harm a child. Especially our child." Sakura looked down at her belly, 'our child.'

"So what are we going to do now?" Yue asked looking at the couple. Syaoran just shrugged his shoulders, "Stay here and protect Sakura until the baby's born." Sakura looked at her husband, "That sounds like fun." Syaoran started chuckling, "Sakura, you have to take care of yourself. I don't want to risk you having a miscarriage." Sakura smiled and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips, "Okay, I'm going upstairs you guys. Call me if you need anything." The two guys nodded as she walked out of the room.

Yue turned towards Syaoran, "Are you sure it's safe keeping their son there?" Syaoran grinned, "Don't worry I still keep in contact with Hino. In fact he was at the party that day." Yue raised his brow, "Okay…do you smell that?" Syaoran nodded, "Fuck it's another vampire." Yue nodded, "How about this time I go out, you stay with Sakura." Syaoran looked at Yue, "Are you sure? No matter what you are supposed to be the guest." Yue chuckled, "You really did change Duke Syaoran." With that said Yue got up and walked out. Syaoran smiled and teleported upstairs to his wife.

:---------------------------:

Sakura sat on bed as she watched Syaoran reappear. "You know you could've used the door," Sakura commented. Syaoran chuckled, "But what's the fun in that?" Sakura smiled and reached out to hang onto his neck, "Hmm, that's true." "So…what are you doing?" Syaoran asked while placing light kisses on her neck. "Just thinking of how much I love you," Sakura said as Syaoran laid her back down on the bed.

"Oh?" Syaoran said while he began untying her nightgown. "Uh huh," Sakura mumbled as she felt him touch her body. Syaoran began going lower when suddenly Sakura let out a piercing scream. "Oh god!" Sakura screamed out as she started clutching her belly. "Shh, take in deep breaths baby," Syaoran said as he hugged her closely towards him. Sakura nodded her head but tears started to trail out of her eyes, "Syao-kun it hurts." Syaoran started rubbing her back, "Don't worry, it'll go away. My love it'll go away, our baby doesn't want to hurt you." Sakura nodded as the pain slowly eased off her body.

Syaoran slowly placed her on the bed. Her head was filled with sweat, and her hair was now flying everywhere. Sakura looked away, "Mou, I probably look so bad, stop looking at me." Syaoran turned her head back towards him, "You look perfect." Sakura smiled and kissed him on the lips, "Thanks Syaoran." Syaoran just nodded his head and got up to leave when Sakura took his hand. She opened up his palm and inside were cuts from him squeezing his hand too hard. "Thank you," she said again as she kissed each cut.

Syaoran looked at his wife, although the pain was painful, it was all worth it. Syaoran lifted her head up to look at him, "I'll love you forever," Syaoran said softly. Sakura nodded and hugged him tightly. Yue stood in the background and loudly cleared his throat, "You guys might wanna see this," he said carrying a man by the neck.

Syaoran turned around, "Oh my god, Hino?"

Hino was a man in his early 20s. He had jet black hair that was messy like Syaoran's, but his eyes were a bright blue like his mother's. Hino bowed down politely, "Master." Syaoran waved for him to stand, "Hino, I want you to meet my wife, also your aunt Sakura." Hino bowed again, "Mistress Sakura." Sakura frowned and stared at Syaoran. Syaoran chuckled and walked over towards Hino.

Immediately the young teen stood up. Syaoran smiled, "Hino, from now on…call me uncle Syaoran. And Sakura…aunt Sakura." "Oh no you won't!" Sakura protested, "I'm like…who knows how much younger than him." Hino grinned, "Ah, but you can't deny the fact that you are in fact my aunt." Sakura blushed deeply and Yue started laughing.

"So what happened?" Syaoran asked him suddenly getting serious. Hino opened his mouth to answer but Yue answered for him, "I was out hunting when I noticed Hino helping me fight them off." "It's for everything you did for me Master." Sakura raised a brow, "What did Duke Syaoran here do to help you exactly?" Hino smiled proudly, "Oh he helped me with many things, he got people to protect me until I was the age of 100. I mean they can still smell my blood…hell they'll always be able to sense the purity in me."

Sakura frowned, "Well I can't." Syaoran hugged her gently, "Sakura…that's because you're pregnant. It's making all your senses go haywire." Sakura nodded, "Oh…what's the sense like." Yue winced at the question, "Unbearable." Syaoran nodded, "Makes me hungry just thinking about it." Sakura frowned again, "Than how did you protect him?" "By blood," Hino answered softly, "We're connected by a blood bond, which stops the smells." "Than what about Yue?" Sakura asked looking over towards her friend.

Yue grinned, "Well I mean I've gotten use to smelling you. It helps me keep track of where you guys are. And plus if it wasn't for the smell, I wouldn't have known who he was." Sakura nodded, "That's good." Suddenly a growl was heard and everyone turned to look at Sakura. Sakura blushed embarrassedly, "Gomen…but our little boy's hungry." Syaoran chuckled and looked over towards Hino, "How about we go hunting? Just like the old days?" Hino smiled but shook his head, "I already had a full meal."

Yue looked up, "I'll go with you. I still need to talk with you." Syaoran chuckled, "I thought so, let's go." The two guys headed out leaving only Hino and Sakura in the room. Sakura smiled and looked over towards the young looking man, "So was life hard for you as a vampire?" Hino shrugged, "Honestly, I don't know. Haven't experienced life as anything else, but Master as helped me a lot." "Syaoran," Sakura corrected. Hino smiled, "Yeah Syaoran."

"He really is a great guy," Sakura said softly as she led Hino upstairs. Hino nodded, "He took care of me ever after what my parents did to him." "He told you?" Sakura said softly. Hino nodded, "I don't think he really wanted to. I mean, who wants to give a child hatred towards their parents?" Sakura nodded, "Do you ever miss it?" "Miss what?" Hino asked softly. "Miss not having what other children have, a family," when those words escaped her lips her whole body tensed.

"I take it you lost yours also?" Hino asked looking at her. Sakura nodded, "Syaoran changed a lot." Hino nodded, "I know." Sakura looked at him, "Don't you smell it?" Hino grinned, "The baby you mean?" Sakura nodded, "Don't you crave for it?" Hino shrugged, "Not really, I mean I am already pure. But yes I do smell it." Sakura nodded, "Is it really unbearable?" Hino looked at her sadly and nodded, "It's like catnip for cats." Sakura looked away, "I'm scared."

Hino smiled, "We all are. But we're all in this together." "Syaoran told you to come today didn't he?" Sakura asked smiling happily again. Hino nodded, "He said he had someone he loved that need protection like he had given me." Sakura smiled, "Arrigatou. I think he did this to make me understand that in the end it's all worth it." Hino looked at her confused, "What do you mean Auntie Sakura?" Sakura smiled, "I mean, if I have a son like you, I would never regret it."

:--------------------------:

Yue and Syaoran flew together in the mist of the night, "What do you want to ask me?" Syaoran said looking towards him. Yue stopped flying, "Do you really trust him?" Syaoran nodded, "He's one of my most trustworthy servants." Yue nodded, "If Sakura gets hurt, I will kill you." Syaoran grinned, "I wouldn't doubt it."

"I saw what you did for her," Yue said looking away. Syaoran stopped the man in front of him, "What do you mean?" "I saw you help her, you took away the pain," Yue answered while he continued flying. Syaoran frowned, "What's really bothering you." "I…I think there is something after us." "What do you mean?" Syaoran asked, finally both landing on a building. "I mean, I felt there were at least 3 ancients out there tonight."

Syaoran frowned, "So you sense them too?" "Is that why you sent for Hino? He is the age of an ancient also, his powers must be strong. I was only able to handle him because of his long travel here," Yue said looking away. "No, you're of great help to Sakura also, trust me. And yes you're right, I sensed them also. And I knew having Hino here would be of great help." "Who do you think it could be?" Yue asked suddenly fear evident in his face.

"I really don't know," Syaoran said looking away sadly, "I really don't know. And right now I'm only scared of one thing." Yue looked over towards him, "What?" "That we won't be strong enough against them. Have you heard of the hidden power?" Yue frowned, "Clow told me about it once." Syaoran nodded, "I sense it all around us. Someone who is after us has it. And I honestly don't even know if a pure blood is strong enough against it. But I promise you Yue, I will do everything in my power to protect Sakura. Not just because she's my wife, or that she's carrying my baby, but because she's my everything and if she were to be gone, I would be nothing." Yue smiled, "Thank you."

:-------------------------------:

The two returned a little before sunrise. When they went into Syaoran's room they found Sakura and Hino talking happily. Sakura was the first to noticed them and smiled brightly, "Syao!" She got up from her seat and flew into his arms, "God I've been hungry." Had any trouble?" Syaoran asked looking at Hino. Hino grinned, "Nothing I couldn't handle." Sakura looked at the three and frowned, "Okay you guys are keeping something from me! Honestly why do we have to keep doing this." Sakura sat exactly where she was and refused to take the blood Syaoran was giving her.

Syaoran sat down beside her, "We aren't keeping anything from you." Sakura stuck her tongue out, "I can feel your emotions Syao." Syaoran chuckled, "I guess we can't keep this from her?" Hino smiled, "Guess not." Sakura stared at them in amusement, "I knew something bad is happening…and yet you guys laugh?" Syaoran looked into her deep emerald pools, "Sakura, no matter what happens we will all handle this together." Sakura nodded but frowned, "So what is it?"

Hino stood up, "There are 3 more great powers out there." Yue nodded, "Ancients like Clow was." Sakura looked at them shocked, "But…I thought you guys said…" Syaoran shook his head, "We were wrong. I mean Hino is also an ancient." Sakura nodded, "I kinda figured that." Hino looked out the window, "I have a feeling we know who they are." Yue frowned, "And one of them has the great power." Sakura looked at him, "Great power?" Yue nodded, "It is when a vampire has done enough killing. The souls overwhelm him giving him a greater power then millions of vampires combined." Sakura started looking scared, "What's going to happen to us?"

Syaoran held her tightly towards him, "It doesn't matter as long as we're together." Sakura nodded and hid her face in his chest. Syaoran looked up and mouthed something to Hino. Hino nodded and led Yue out with him. The two didn't know how long they were in that position but it felt like it wasn't enough.

:----------------------------:

They laid on their red silk sheets staring up into the ceiling. "Syaoran," Sakura said softly. Syaoran looked over towards her, "Yeah?" She touched her belly gently, "How much longer to you think it'll take for the baby to come?" Syaoran shrugged, "3 more months." Sakura nodded, "We have to protect it no matter what," she said while looking over towards him. Syaoran nodded, "No matter what." Sakura continued nodding her head. She knew in her heart if it came down to it, she would risk her life for theirs.

Bayb-Munki: Okay…so there is 3 more vampires…strong and EVIL! And…next few chapters are actually going to get more exciting…lol this chapter was more an introduction to a "new evil." And …I'll give you all a hint though, most people I mentioned before are MOST LIKILY to come back. Smiles
