Review of last chapter

"Children, Sakura, this is... Gweneth Hilton, she is my fiancee your," Syaoran took a deep breath, "future mother."

"NO!" a scream left a mouth as thumping of steps were heard going up the stairs. Sakura quickly chased the distress girl. The look Sakura gave him was unbarable, it held loathing, and a shimmer of sadness. Syaoran watched his daughter flee up the stairs, crystal tears running down Alana's eyes.

Chapter 5: "She was Perfect"

A door being slammed echoed throughout the ringing silence downstairs. Syaoran frowned, this hadn't gone to plan and now Sakura's emotional eyes filled with loathing and hatred and sadness was still fresh in his mind. The children sent worried glances at each other, non moving from their spot, but all wanting to know what had happened.

"Just, go." Syaoran said in a tired voice. The children nodded, all heading up the stairs watching their father frown. Gweneth, out of all of them, was the only one still grinning upon the whole event.

Upstairs

Sakura had stopped erruptly as soon as the door slammed in front of her. She hesitated, before knocking upon the door softly.

"Go away!" a sobbing voice called from the other side of the door.

"Alana... it's me. Can I come in?" Sakura asked softly.

"NO! Go away! All you're going to do is steal Father away! I won't let you! I won't let you or that-that WITCH steal Father away." an angry voice responded to her.

"Alana, I promise, I won't steal him away. I promise you." Sakura whispered sadly, "But, if you are feeling this strongly about this, I will leave you alone. Alana, remember to come down to eat later, you will be sick." Sakura said before starting to leave.

Alana's sobbing subsidded hearing Sakura say that. No one had told her to go down and eat, no one ever since her mothing had gone away. A soft click indicated to Sakura that the door was unlocked. Hesitantly, she opened it and saw Alana sitting on her bed, her knees brought towards her chest, her face hidden inside.

Her room was the vibrant colour of light ruby. She had many pictures of her with her mother, father and her brothers and sisters. There were small flowers painted on the wall and if you looked at it, Alana was a happy girl.

"Alana..." Sakura whispered soothingly, sitting next to her. Alana launched herself into her, sobbing softly. Sakura rubbed her back soothingly. "Alana, it's ok. Wipe your tears, its sad to see sad tears roll down that pretty face of yours." Sakura said. Alana hiccouped slightly, wiping her tears.

"I can't believe Father. How could he forget mother so fast? How could he find someone else? How could he?" Alana whispered hoarsely "She was the kindest, most beautiful person in the world, and here he is, with a new wife and a new mother for us, and he expects us to just accept her? I can't, I won't. That woman will leave him AS SOON as she finds out about his powers. About what he can do, and she'll think hes a freak, and she'll hurt him!" Alana cried. Sakura looked at her.

"What... powers?" Sakura whispered.

"His powers! His powers to control the wind!" Alana cried. Sakura looked as though a tonne of bricks just fell upon her. Her heart beat wildly as her brain tried to comprehend it. "See! I KNEW IT! You won't accept father, you don't understand what it's like!" Alana cried, pushing her out.

"Alana I... I KNOW what it's like, to be different, to have abilities others wont have." Sakura whispered. Lifting her hand, she created a small orb of fire floating on the palms of her hand, she stared at it, whispering to herself. Alana looked wide eyed at her. "Ever since I was 3, my mother had died. I didn't know what to do, I guess that's how I unleashed my powers. But my father he, he was AFRAID of me, his own daughter. Because I had this strange powers he was afraid. He left his only daughter on the step of a church, abandoned her. I never saw him since." Sakura said sadly. "You are very lucky to have a Father like Syaoran. He is a strong man. I'm sure he will never ever forget your mother, but I am almost sure he is doing this, not for himself, but for you guys." Sakura told her.

Alana stayed silent. This nanny, she had powers, powers her father would understand.

"I'm sorry..." Alana whispered. "I didn't know. We never had to deal with the fact of us being different. I- If I were you I wouldn't know HOW to have survived, being treated like... like a freak." Sakura gave a laugh.

"Alana, that's why we have people around us who love us." Sakura said softly, hugging the girl, "I had people who supported me, who helped me like who I am. Your father, I can tell, loves you very very much. You are lucky to have a family like this. You've got to embrace it while you can. Don't let it slip from your fingers." Sakura said. Alana nodded, hugging her.

"I never thought about it like that. I'm sorry." she said. Alana looked up at the smiling woman. She was so beautiful, and everyone liked her, why can't SHE be the one with her father, instead of that other woman. A bright spark gleamed in her cool amber eyes. "Sakura... can you show me, that fire trick again?" Alana asked shyly. Sakura looked startled, hearing her name. Nodding, she created a flower which consisted the colours or blue, red, green and white. Alana looked at awe at it.

"Go ahead, touch it." Sakura prompt. Alana nodded, sticking a finger into it. She giggled. It ticked her hands, it licked it like a puppy's tongue. This woman was perfect for her father.

Syaoran paced back and forth downstairs. Sakura and Alana had been upstairs for an hour all ready and- as much as he hates it- he was scared and worried.

"Oh Xiao Lang don't worry. That's what nannies are for isn't it? To take care of the children?" Gwen said casually, carefully inspecting her manicured nails. Syaoran ignored her casual deminar and continued to stare up the stairs. A giggle brought from the other side made him turn. Alana came downstairs, holding hands with Sakura, her face freed of tears, her lips curved into a smile. But once her amber eyes met with his, her smile disappeared, she let go of Sakura's hand, and raced towards the living room. Syaoran frowned, the last thing that he needed was his daughter giving him a silent treatment. Sakura's feet reached the floor and was about to turn when Syaoran called for her.

"Sakura!" he called. Sakura turned around,

"Yes Li-san?" Sakura said cooly, an unmistakable flare of fire burning in her emerald orbs. Her eyes flickered over to Gweneth's side for a moment, before flickering back.

"Ow!" Gweneth yelped, the magazine she had been reading had suddenly caught in fire, dropping it. Syaoran mearly glanced there, and a blast of cold winds made it disappear. He turned back to find Sakura's orb staring back intensely at him.

"We need to talk." he said in a hard voice, breaking his gaze and walking into the back yard. Sakura said nothing but followed him, leaving Gwen alone.

"Yes, you need to see me?" Sakura said, once they had shut the patio door. Syaoran paced around before stopping.

"Sakura, what's going on?" he said. Sakura remained silent. "Did you talk to my daughter?" he asked again.

Silence.

"Sakura what is going on around here?" he asked once again, in a stronger tone.

Silence.

"Sakura will you answer me Damn it!" he yelled, his anger taking the better of him. "What went on with you and my daughter?" he asked loudly again. Sakura's eyes flashed towards him, holding pure anger.

"Your daughter? Oh so she's your daughter now?" Sakura glared. Syaoran looked back stuned.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Have you ever thought about ONCE at how you children will feel when your brought back another woman? How they would think when that woman they barely know becomes their mother? Have you ever thought that they might just think that their mother has been forgotten?" Sakura asked him, her anger growing stronger and stronger. Rarely does she get this mad, but when someone acts so regardless of those around them, she gets out of control.

"Of course I have! The whole freaking marrage thing was for them!" Syaoran shouted back, no longer calm, his amber eyes raging.

"For them? Did you- even ONCE- ask them what THEY wanted?" Sakura asked back, not waiting for the answer, knowing what it was, she continued, "No, do you WANT to know what they want? They don't WANT another subsitute mother. They don't want to have so many nannies they forget how many they've gotten. What they want is a father, a REAL father that spends time with them, that playes with them, talks with them, that KNOWS them. Not one that goes away for one month, two months, even 4 months at a time because he places his business of his family." Sakura ended in an icy tone. Syaoran glared at the woman. Who was she to teach him how to treat his family?

"You have no right." he whispered in a deadly tone. Sakura gave a cold laugh.

"What do you know about rights." she replied back, walking out of the room, "I am not continuing this any longer." she said, reaching for the door. As soon as she had gotten the door to open, a gust of wind shut it close. Turning around, a current of wind circled around him. As a blast of wind shot towards her, she lifted her hand, forming a shield of fire, the two elemts collided before disappearing. Syaoran looked shocked, seeing how she had reacted.

The children rushed downstairs, hearing shouting from the back yard. On the way down, Alana shoved Gwen into a closet, closed it before running with her siblings. They found their nanny and their Father, facing each other, each breathing hardly.

"You-" Syaoran breathed. Sakura glared back.

"I'm the same as you are. Yet I have enough dignity to not hide inside it." Sakura glared coldly. Another blast of wind shot towards her-the children shut their eyes- and Sakura sent the same stream of fire toward it, the seocnd blast wasn't as strong as the first one, and Sakura's fire started to slice through the wind. Panicing, she raised her hand, and stopped most of the fire before it had reached its target.. Sakura breathed hardly, continuing to glare at him. Slowly, the wind current around his subsidded as he slowly dropped to the floor tiredly. Sakura rushed towards him, lifting his head. He wasn't concious. He was a bit sweaty and was exhausted. Standing up, she tried to find a way to get him upstairs.

"Sakura, there's a guest bedroom downstairs." Xiao Chen called once he opened the door. He was still dazed at the display of attacks, but right now his father was important. Sakura nodded.

"Can you help me get him there?" she asked. Nodding Xiao Chen walked out and together carried his father into the bedroom. Sitting down the the chair Sakura rested a bit.

"Lord, your father is very heavy." Sakura sighed. Noticing the stare of the 10 children, she sighed. "Guys, I need you to go out for a bit, I need to take care of your father." she said, noticing their look, she added, "I won't hurt him." Slowly, they filed out, and closed the door in the proccess. However, what Sakura didn't know, was there was a small window created beside the door.

Walking into the washroom, she came back out with a cold, wet cloth. Placing it on his forehead, she lightly dabbed it around his face caringly, brushing off some stray hair off his face. She continued the action, before placing the towel aside. Lifting his shirt, she saw slight burns from the fire she had sent out. She frowned. Walking towards a cabinent, she found some gauze pads and sanitizers. She found it weird fro a guest room having this kind of stuff in it, but left the thought undecided. After washing the cloth again, she lightly dabbed it around the burnt spots. Immediately a pained grunt left the mouth of the sleeping man, his hands grabbing her hands in pain. Sakura blushed but continued her washing.

"I'm sorry about this Syaoran. I know it's none of my business on the way you treat your family." she said to him softly.

Syaoran's eyes slowly flickered opened feeling a shock from his body. He felt a soft touch around his ribs and a soft voice slowly drifted.

"I just wish you would treat your family better. Alana doesn't want a new mother. She thinks you've all ready forgotten about her mother." she told him, unaware of the man that was now concious. A part of Syaoran wished he wasn't concious because he could feel the burn of the sanitizers hitting his skin, and the slow heat creeping onto his cheek feeling Sakura's soft fingers brush against his skin.

"As strong as you are, Syaoran, your children isn't. You've got to stop treating them like they're soldiers." Sakura whispered to-what she thought-herself.

"So its Syaoran now and not Li-san?" a tired voice sounded from above. "That's good, Li-san makes me sound old."

"Ack!" she gasped. "Good lord Syaoran. You've been awake all along?" Sakura asked. Syaoran chuckled slightly, grunting in pain again. Sakura sighed. "Here, sit up." she instructed him. Helping him, Syaoran lied his back onto the back board, talk enough to see the snickering face of his children. Opening his mouth to make a comment of that, his kids quickly slid out of sight.

"I know, I'm sorry for what I've done. I shouldn't be nosy and I shouldn't be telling you what to do." Sakura apologized. Syaoran stayed silent.

"Well that wasn't what I was about to say. But, you don't have to be sorry. I understand where your point came from." he said.

"Sit up." she ordered. She wrapped the gauze around his ribs, careful not to make it too tight. She finished wrapping, clipped it together, and pulled down his shirt. "There, it's done." Sakura said softly. Syaoran nodded, trying to stand up. Unsuccesful. Instead, he toppled over and found himself painfully on the floor... Sakura on top of him.

Children

The 10 of them quickly rushed out of sight and was running up the stairs when Gwen had finally managed to get herself out of the closet Alana had pushed her into.

"Where are all you going?" she snarled, still unhappy that they had ruined her outfit. Alana, Ying, Hitomi and Alex both stuck their tongue out, blew her a rasberry before going upstairs into Carina's room, since her's was the biggest.

"Oh wow did you SEE the way they fought?" Tenchi said excitedly.

"I know, I never knew Sakura could do that." Kari agreed.

"Imagine what we could do with that!" Yang exclaimed, his amber eyes alit with excitement.

"I never saw Daddy use his powers so much." Sora whispered.

"Yea, but I never knew SAKURA could do it too." Alex said.

"But did you see Father? He wasn't pulling his best. We all seen what he could do when he's real mad, that wasn't his full potential." Alana butted in. Carina and Xiao Chen had to agree.

'It was like, Father wasn't putting his full power into it. If it was someone else, that person would have been long down." Xiao Chen noted.

"You don't think, that he could- no way..." Carina whispered. Alana jumped and whooped.

"That would be so awesome if he was! Sakura would make the best Mother." Alana phraised. The group looked at her, they thought Alana wasn't ready to accept her.

"So... it's planned then, we'll try to put them together?" Tenchi, Kari and Yang said together mischeviously. Oh this was going to be so much fun.

"Yep! Operation Father and Sakura!" the group shouted.

Sakura and Syaoran

Sakura blushed a deep red as Syaoran tried to contain his emotion. Sakura got up on her knees when Syaoran stood up. Offering his hand to her, Sakura took it gingerly, feeling Syaoran pull her up, just in time for Gwen to barge in, their hands connected.

"Oh dear Xiao Lang what is going on? I heard explosions!" Gwen cried, tugging him towards her, purposely breaking their hand connection. Sakura smiled at the two, before walking out, her hair swaying side to side. Syaoran just stared at her as she walked out, something dawned to him. Something he never thought before. He broke out of Gwen's cage and walked out, unaware of the fire floating near the corner of the room with a wind current surrounding it, protecting it. He realized something he had never thought of before.

She was perfect.

A/N: All right, so I hope you guys like the little display of powers they've shown. I hope that shows the kind of element they can control over, and a tiny bit of S+S fluff here and a little Gwen evil there. -smiles- please review? -puppy dog eyes-
