Chapter Seventeen

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

Sakura

The feeling of the cool breeze wrapped around her body. She quickly hugged herself to fight off the cold. They only had one month left. One more month. Sakura looked down at her growing belly. Syaoran had bought millions of new clothes for her, but it was no use, she was growing so fast that one week later he would have to leave early to go shopping again.

She shut her eyes tightly, she could feel the tension around everyone. Although no one wanted to admit it, she knew how hard it was for all of them.

Especially Syaoran. He didn't just protect her like Hino and Yue. He didn't just protect her, no he did so much more. He supported her throughout this whole ordeal, he loved her like she was his world, and he took away her pain. Even when she hid it, he would still be able to aid her through the painful times. She clenched her fists tightly, he was still sleeping inside. Syaoran would never admit it, but she knew. She knew in her heart, he was growing ill.

After the news of the three ancients coming the three men were training relentlessly. And Sakura? All she could do was sit around. Never in her life had she felt as useless as this. Not only had did she have to be protected, but she couldn't help any of them. No matter what she tried, something inside her always made it feel like she was only getting in the way. Tears streaked down her checks, as the wind continued to blow.

It was a full moon that night, and the moon gave a little silhouette around her. "You shouldn't stand out here like that," a husky voice said gently as strong arms embraced her. Sakura laid back into his chest, "I'm scared," she said softly. The hug tightened, "Don't be, we'll get through this."

Sakura turned around to face him, "How can you be so sure?" Syaoran smiled, "Because we have something they'll never have." Sakura looked away, "Yeah a child." Syaoran shook his head, "I wasn't talking about that. Though we have that too," he grabbed her shoulders and turned her towards him, "Sakura we have our love. Our love can overcome anything as long as we believe. All you have to do is believe in us Sakura."

Sakura looked into his chocolate eyes and saw the love emitting from them. She nodded her head slowly, "You're right…you're right. We can pull through." Syaoran chuckled and kissed her lightly on the temple, "That's my girl. Now let's go downstairs to the others."

Hino

"Do you have any idea who the ancients could be?" the silver haired man asked tiredly. Hino shook his head, his blue eyes were slowly losing their brightness, "But I have some clues." Yue looked up, "Like what?" "Whoever they are, they know our pattern. So we must have met them once before," Hino said while looking up at portrait. "Your mother…" Yue said softly.

"What if Clow was wrong?" was all Hino said before Syaoran and Sakura appeared by their sides. Sakura smiled, "Why the long face?" Yue chuckled while giving Sakura a light hug, "Nothing Cherry, Hino and I were just pondering." Sakura smiled and nodded her head, "Okay…so Syaoran and I decided the name for our baby." Hino stood up, "Really? Took you guys long enough, I mean remember that day you sat there with the book in your hand refusing to let go of it until you found the 'perfect name.' Needless to say…you didn't let go of it for a week."

Sakura stuck her tongue out, "Well I mean this is a life time thing thank you very much. The name has to be perfect." Syaoran chuckled and placed an arm around his wife. "So what name did you decide on anyways?" Yue asked looking up at her. This time Syaoran smirked, "It's a secret." Hino groaned, "Geeze you got me all excited for nothing." Sakura started to giggle, "But see now we all have something to hope for."

Yue nodded, "A child…that's some miracle you guys are performing." Syaoran smiled proudly, "You know it."

Yue

Sakura and Yue were sitting in the study waiting for Syaoran and Hino to return from their hunt. "Yue…" Sakura said softly that he had barely heard. Yue turned to face her, "Yeah?" "Will the baby only grow as old as Hino?" Sakura asked her eyes growing wide. Yue nodded, "Only until he's 24, why?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "It's just…than he'll technically be older than me." Yue chuckled, "Than you'll be a young mom."

Sakura giggled, "Well…I always was afraid that I would look too old when my child grew up." Yue hugged her tightly, "What's really on your mind?" Sakura looked away, "Did you notice how no one from the clan contacts us anymore Yue?" Yue frowned, "Sakura…" he said warningly.

Sakura stood up starting to get angry, "No Yue…tell me, why is it that they're doing that. I know you know something Yue." Yue looked away, "It doesn't matter now." Sakura growled, "But it does matter! What about Mika! And don't say you don't love him! After spending this much time with you Yue I notice these things!"

Yue smiled sadly, "It doesn't matter," he told her gently. Sakura shook her head as she started crying, "It's because you're helping me isn't it? It's because you're letting me have a child. It's because I'm with the man that killed Clow." Yue kissed her softly on the forehead, "But Sakura…I love you. You'll always be my little sister that I'll always protect. Tell me something Sakura…if Touya were here. If he was here and could protect you, even if it meant his own happiness, do you think he would do it?"

Tears kept streaking down her checks as she nodded her head. Yue smiled, "Well, that's exactly how I feel about you. Even if it means I'll never be able to be with my true love. As long as you're happy Cherry, I'm happy." Sakura hugged him tightly, "Arigatou." Yue hugged her back, "No problem."

Syaoran

The next three weeks past by harshly. He noticed that as the baby grew riper, more vampires were coming around. It also wasn't helping that Sakura's pain were growing worst by the day. Desperate he had left it up to Hino and Yue to go out and hunt, while Syaoran stayed back. They didn't even have enough time to train anymore.

But of course in the background, he left it up to Yue and Hino to find out who the three ancients could be. And there were only a few possibilities, and here was the list that Hino drew up for them.

1. Kaori Li

Chances: Highly Likely

Reason: Never found her dead. Was told by Clow Reed.

2. Hino Li

Chances: Slim

Reason: May have missed something while killing him.

3. Takashi Yamazaki

Chances: Likely

Reason: Lost contact with after remarriage with Kaori

Syaoran frowned deeply, if these were really the people. Than why was Takashi hiding from them? And why were Hino and Kaori just standing back and watching all of the happenings. Why hadn't throughout these years they hadn't even tried to get their son back. He knew from experience it pained for any vampire to be away from their blood connect for more than a few years. Let alone a few hundreds.

Sakura walked in and smiled softly, "I think the list is wrong." Syaoran turned around, "Nani?" Sakura looked away, "I read your books." Syaoran nodded his head urging her to continue. "It says that if a vampire had drank an ancients blood, they also smell like one right?" Syaoran nodded. "Than…what if there's only one ancient, and two followers?" Syaoran stopped to think of that, "Even if that's true, one of them has the special power."

Sakura nodded her head, "How come you don't have it?" Syaoran shrugged, "Guess I'm not as ruthless as you thought." Sakura giggled, "Guess not." Sakura sat on his lap as he wrapped his arms around her, "You have an idea on whom it could be don't you?" "Just a hunch," Sakura said while looking outside. "So spill," Syaoran said while kissing her neck.

Sakura moaned inwardly, 'I better not. You wouldn't like what I would have to say,' was all she said before disappearing. Syaoran sat there confused, who was she thinking of?

He rubbed his temples tiredly, today was one of the good days. Sakura was fine and was able to walk around, although her belly was large and round now. The good thing was the pain had ceased and he was able to help the other two. Suddenly Hino and Yue were by his side. "We have bad news Syaoran," Hino said fidgeting slightly. Syaoran frowned, "What is it?" Yue took a step back, "Sakura left."

Sakura

Sakura didn't know why, but she felt it. Felt what? Honestly she wasn't even sure herself. But it…no something was calling her. Calling her towards it. Although she knew it wasn't safe for her to travel alone. She knew she had to do this. A deep voice kept echoing in her head, 'You can do it Sakura…that's the right way…you can do it Sakura.'

She looked around mindlessly at the empty streets. She knew she had very little time left before Syaoran would find her. And the voice seemed to be leading her nowhere. Than at the corner of her eye, she noticed something flash.

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

She gasped as she felt a cold hand touch her shoulder. She turned to face her husband, she could feel the anger pulsating out of his body. "Why did you run off like that Sakura?" he questioned her angrily. Sakura shrugged her shoulders unsure of what to say, "It's nothing Syao…" Syaoran took a deep breath before looking at her worriedly, "You scared me running off like that Sakura…you shouldn't do that."

Sakura smiled, "I know…gomen Syao-kun. I promise I won't do that again…okay?" Syaoran nodded his head, "I'll take you home…you must be tired." Sakura nodded, "Arigatou."

While he held tightly onto her Sakura took one glance back, it couldn't have been who she thought it was, could it?

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

She saw Yue and Hino by the couch waiting for her. "Cherry," Yue said looking at her worriedly. Sakura quickly placed a smile on her lips, "I'm okay guys…I promise I won't do it again."

Syaoran embraced her tightly, "I think I'll stay home tonight." Yue and Hino nodded their head in understanding and flew off. Syaoran turned Sakura around so she was facing him. "What happened Sakura? I can feel your nerves…they're going crazy." Sakura smiled, "I'm just worried about the baby." Syaoran nodded unconvinced but knew she wasn't going to say anything.

In the mist of the night Sakura stood on her balcony again. She clutched the locket in her hand; it couldn't have been true. But the words what if it was kept reappearing in her head. She quickly shook those thoughts away. She watched the person die…it couldn't have been true. Unless they had found a way to wake the death? But was that even possible? Sakura's head started pounding from all the thinking.

She slowly sat down on a chair, maybe it was all in her head? Sakura nodded her head, yeah the image was just in her mind. That was all it was.

She turned to watch Syaoran's sleeping figure. He was at ease when he was resting. She walked closer and touched his forehead gently, he was overly stressed lately. A large smile grew on her lips when an idea came to her. She quickly went out of the room to find the others.

Syaoran

After Sakura had left that night they watched her more closely. But nothing suspicious ever came up. She would just smile every morning like nothing was wrong. The birth of their child was coming close. They only had a few days left, and it was hectic. Firstly he had to learn how to receive birth. Hino and Yue had to place a stronger wall around, since the aroma was getting stronger and it was getting unwanted visitors.

But otherwise…everything was almost ready. Sakura was getting more pains, but they had gotten used to it. Together Syaoran would take most of it, although he would never tell Sakura that, and because of that, it was no longer unbearable.

Although Syaoran was always curious on what had happened that night, he never dared ask again. Not that Sakura got mad, quite the opposite she seemed quite fine with the question and always told him it was nothing. It was more on the fact, that he trusted her. Whatever had lured her out that night, must've had a reason too, and if only Sakura knew…than that was okay because he knew in his heart she would tell him in time.
