Chapter 6

When Syaoran got to Japan, everything was moving so fast. Everything was ready, and they were just making an announcement soon. He hated having to keep this from Sakura, but he wasn't allowed to say a word. He was now in a limo and it just stopped. They were in front of the palace. Someone opened the door for him and when he got out, he saw his grandmother.

'Its good to see you Syaoran , how was your trip?'

'It was good', he lied.

'Come on in, just leave everything, I'm going to show you around. By the way how was your lessons? Did you enjoy it?'

'No', he hated those stupid classes 'Can I use your phone?'

'No you can't, Syaoran you have to get used to this life. I know you had to leave everyone behind, but you have to move forward'

'What you want me to forget the life I had in Australia?'

'If that's what you have to do'.

'I hate this, I didn't even get a choice!'

'Calm down now Syaoran ', he walked out of the stupid palace and started walking away.

I had been sick lately. I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I haven't told anyone of it. My mother was taking a break from all this chaos and decided to live with my Aunt Fely for the rest of the year, so it was just me and Aiko in the house. She has had non-stop parties which was annoying, and I knew she was getting high and taking all different kind of pills. Its funny how I'm actually saying this but I wanted Makoto back with Aiko because she seemed to be a better person around him. Aiko still had feelings for Makoto but it wasn't as strong anymore as it used to be.

It was around July, near my birthday, and it had been 2 weeks ever since Syaoran left. I was getting sick every morning now, so I told Ryu about it, during lunch, while I was by my locker.

'Ryu I have to tell you something'

'What is it?', looking at me wondering what was up.

'I've been sick lately'

'Sick as meaning what?'

'Sick, vomiting but that's all'

'Maybe its just a flu or something?'

'I don't know but I might be pregnant'

'Pregnant? But we always used protection?'

'I know but it could have broke', I was starting to frown thinking of the situation. What if I was pregnant?

'Sakura, after school today, I'll buy a pregnancy test for you'.

'I'm scared'

'We have to make sure first'.

So after school that day, I found out that I was pregnant and it was a real shock. The last thing in my mind was that it could be Syaoran 's baby. I was still so scare because I was only 16, turning 17 and I was pregnant. Ryu was still with me when I found out and he asked 'What are we going to do?'

'I don't know but I don't want to have an abortion'

'What would your parents say?'

'They'd allow me to make the choice'

'I don't know what to do anymore Ryu', I hugged him tightly, I was so scared.

A week after the whole situation. Syaoran was being forced to go to a boarding school. It was rich and it had a good education. Sachi wanted to do the best for Syaoran even though it meant forcing him to do things that he didn't like. Kin and Nyoko were too busy doing paper work for all this, and this weekend, they were going to make an announcement to the press of what happened. Syaoran was looking outside his window. He really missed Sakura so badly and they hadn't talked to each other since he left, but he wrote her a letter, but he wasn't sure if it reached her. So he decided to call her, he dialed the number and Aiko answered the phone 'Hello, hey Aiko is Sakura home?'

'Syaoran its good to hear from you. Sakura's not here, she's visiting the doctor'

'Is something wrong with her?'

'Nothing big, but I think she's pregnant'.

He froze hearing those words, Sakura was pregnant and there was a chance it could be his because they slept together, 'Is she going to be home soon', he asked.

'No not really, they've been gone the whole day'

'Who?'

'Ryu and her, I think he's telling his parents so yeah. My mum doesn't know about this and I don't think she wants to know'

He stood up shocked as hell 'Has she gotten a letter or anything?'

'No not yet, why did you send her one?'

'Yeah, but ages ago'

'Okay, I'll tell her you called. Take care of yourself allright?'

'Okay, you too', when Aiko hanged up, Sakura just entered the house.

Syaoran was still shocked by all this. He went downstairs because he was having dinner soon. Tomorrow, which was Monday, July 15, he was going to the Boarding School. He really was starting to hate Sachi, but he knew he didn't get a choice anymore. He ate his dinner in silence thinking of the news he got from Aiko.

I asked 'Who was that one the phone', seeing Aiko putting the phone down.

'Its was your friend, he just wanted to see how you were doing and I told him'

'Told him what?'

'I know your pregnant Sakura, don't even try hiding this from me. Why didn't you tell me? Were you scared I was going to tell mum?'

'Well are you going to?'

'No, because I'm doing you a favor', I looked at her and she was different.

'You got back with him didn't you?'

'Makoto you mean, the guy you most hate?'

'Yes, that Makoto'

'Yeah, he really loves me', I smiled at her, finally she was settling down with someone 'Syaoran said that he wrote to you, did you get any letter?'

'No, he said he would before he left I guess he was just too busy, did he say he was going to call back?'

'No, but he was really worried about you'

'I know, he always is'. I walked upstairs and closed the door, I broke down in tears, and I looked ay myself, what was I going to do? I just met Ryu's parents and they were happy to take me in their family and the baby, but what if the baby wasn't Ryu's? I did sleep once with Syaoran .

I cried to my sleep that night, having a dream. It was a weird dream, something about Syaoran .

I was coming home from school as normal, but I was 6 months pregnant now. Today was my last day of school and I was dropping out. Then I saw Syaoran in front of me, and he was changed. He looked different, and I walked towards him missing him, then he hugged me tightly and said to me 'I missed you so much Sakura'

'Me too', but I saw someone behind him. I haven't seen those people before and I stepped back and asked 'Who are they?'

'I'm a Prince, Sakura'

'What?', I repeated I was completely lost now.

'I'm a prince', I stepped back, shocked at the news he just gave me and I started running away. He went after me and he didn't stop and finally when we were all alone, in a field and it was raining, he said 'I love you so much', then suddenly it all blacked out.

I

woke up from that dream. My heart beating so fast. Then I looked at my alarm clock. It was only 3.00 a.m. I was scared because I was pregnant and to get all this thoughts out of my head I went for a walk near the beach. I looked at the water as the sun was just starting to go up, wondering if I'll ever see Syaoran again. I missed him so much but I didn't want to act like this in front of Ryu because he loved me. I knew how he felt about me and I can't just leave him. It would break his heart. So I decided to live with this. I promised myself that I would keep this baby and raise it.

When I went back home, I was a letter by the mailbox. I looked through it and saw a letter from Syaoran . I quickly opened it, so curious of what was going to be said in the letter. I sat by the stairs and I opened it.

Dear Sakura,

It had been so long since I've talked to you. I want you to know that I haven't been avoiding you. It just life here in Japan is so much different. Yes, I miss you, but I can't call you right now. My stupid grandmother is forcing me to live this life that I don't want to live. Before anyone else knows the truth, I'm to be coronated Prince this weekend. It's a long story, I would tell you but there's so much to tell you besides that. Ever since your dad's funeral, I was thinking of the relationship we could have had. If we were going out as lovers, not as friends, but its too late to change that. We've always been used to seeing each others as friends nothing more. That New Year's Day you confessed to me about your feelings, I had the same feelings for you, but I was just too shock to say anything. Shock that someone could actually like me, maybe even love me.

I've had some many dreams about you. I can't stop thinking about you. I want to leave this hell, but I can't, I feel like a prisoner in this place. Sakura, I just want you to know that you've changed my life and I'm glad you were the one that changed me. There's so much I wan to say to you but I can't. I don't want to hurt your feelings anymore; I don't want to say more that might hurt you even more. I don't want to see you cry again. I knew you went to the airport the day I left. I saw you, but I just …

Anyway, if I ever have time, which I probably won't have, I promise to visit you. I just want you to know that you'll always be in my mind. And even though your with Ryu now, and he loves you, I just want you to know that there's always going to be someone else loving you no matter what.

Missing you,

Syaoran .

As soon as I read that letter, tears started to fall down my face. Maybe he'll be coming here anytime now because he knows that I'm pregnant. If he did, I would have to lie to him. I didn't want to be a burden to him. And he was a PRINCE? I was confused about that. What was he talking about. I wanted all this questions to be answered, but no-one had the answers. Suddenly, Ryu came up in front of my house who saw me crying, he asked 'Sakura are you allright?', today we were meeting his parents again. I had gotten used to his parents because they were so nice, and they welcomed her and made her feel comfortable.

'Nothings wrong', wiping away my tears quickly and hiding the letter.

'So are you ready to go?', helping me up. Ever since we found out that I was pregnant, he's been so careful around me. I barely went partying anymore because most of those parties would have alcohol and I couldn't take those.

'I haven't eaten breakfast yet'

'Its allright, we can have it at my house'

'Okay', I quickly got changed upstairs and he waited for me downstairs. My sister Aiko liked Ryu because even though he was popular, he still treated girls well. Unlike some of the elite people in the school who treated people like shit.

I was in the car with Ryu and I could feel his eyes on me. He touched my hand as if he was trying to read my thoughts. We haven't said a word to each other ever since we left my house. There was nothing I could say to him. He whispered to me concerned 'Is something bothering you?'

'No … its nothing its just a bit a mood swings'

'Are you sure, you've been so done lately?'

'Everything is allright Ryu, don't worry about me', he kissed me in the cheeks and he hugged me tightly. I liked the way he was concerned about me because I knew that he loved me, even though I didn't tell him anything. He knew me well enough to tell when I was down. Finally when we were at his place, which was near the beach, because Ryu's father was a politician and he was rich. He helped me get out and he asked 'Come on … don't be so nervous you've met them before'.

I stopped walking and I asked him 'Do you want this?'

'Want what?'

'This baby, what if it's not what you're going to expect?'

'What are you talking about?'

'Ryu I haven't been telling you the truth lately …'

'The truth about what? Sakura answer me'

'When we had a break, I slept with Syaoran … it was on my dad's funeral. I didn't know why it happened but he didn't force me'

'What?', getting angry, he couldn't believe I was just telling him now 'Why didn't you tell me earlier, when we got back together?'

'Because I was scared of how you'd react, are you angry at me?'

'How can I not be, you've been lying to me!'

'Ryu we were on the break, we were allowed to do anything we could have wanted'

'But I stayed faithful to you because I loved you. Remember you pushed me away!'

'I didn't mean to'

'Sakura does he know that it might be yours?'

'I don't know', I turned my back on him. I didn't want to see his face anymore. I was ashamed of myself. Then he came up behind me.

'I made a promise to you Sakura, lets just pretend its mine. I don't want to complicate this anymore', I turned around and looked into his eyes. This was a promise he was making right now. A promise I knew he wouldn't break.
