Is This Right?

Sakura's P.O.V.

"Well…euhmmmm" What had just…Had I really done what I thought I'd done? I had really tried to kiss Li, Syaoran. If Eriol hadn't butted in I might've actually done it! Oh bless him for his tendency to always butt in others business. I didn't know how I would've explained myself if I had done it…

"Look…Sakura…" I looked at him and as soon as I saw his facial expression I felt dread seeping inside me. He really looked upset with something.

"Well maybe I'm not out of trouble yet." I thought miserably.

"Sakura…I…"

"Gomen…Just forget about it didn't mean anything." I felt a weird pain in my chest and for a moment I thought I saw pain on his face too.

"Okay if you say so…it didn't mean anything hunnh?"

"Excuse me I didn't get the last part of your sentence"

"Wah? No no it was nothing." He answered vaguely. He seemed out of it for some reason.

"Sakura do you have any idea what's happening to us?"

"Hoe!"

"With my parents scheming and preparing a wedding for the both of us…" For a moment I had almost believed that he was saying that we had something going on. I didn't know what to answer. Aside from short meetings, I hadn't met Syaoran's father that often and I didn't really know what he was like. And I didn't even know what his mother looked like. I couldn't understand how they could get so worked up about the lie when they didn't even know the bride.

"Do you want to meet my parents?" He asked out of the blue. I bolted up and looked at him shocked.

"You don't really mean that Syaoran-kun." I couldn't see myself lying to them about the baby. They seemed like nice people…Maybe it would be best to call it all off before it got out of hand.

"Syaoran-kun…I don't really know if it'd be appropriate since…well you know how we're not really together and all..." He smiled.

"I promised I would help you didn't I?"

"Well it'd be better if you didn't have to lie to everyone to help me." His smile widened.

"If it's only that... You don't have to worry about it. My parents lie to me so much…It wouldn't be too bad to get back at them. Just think about as a little pay-back for all the years I've suffered to their hands." His argument didn't really convince me. It felt like he didn't how big the news of the arrival of a baby was to his parents.

"Still Syaoran-kun aren't you being a little too cruel? You said yourself that you parents have been waiting for that baby for a while now and urging you to get married. This isn't some kind of joke. It's really serious!" I snapped realizing that he still wasn't taking me seriously.

"Oh…oh I'm starting to get moody…Calm down Sakura…Calm down Sakura or you'll look like a crybaby in front of him again."

"Hey…Hey don't get upset we won't lie to them if you don't want to…"

"sniffI just don't want them to think I'm gold digger or a temptress. I don't want them to end up hating me like the Yamuras hate me now." What was I doing babbling about Yamura's parents when they had never even considered getting to know me…?

"Maybe it was on his parents orders that he went off and got out with all these women behind my back" I quickly shook my head to get rid of that stupid idea. He was a fraud and a liar. He didn't need his parents to get under other women's skirts…

"Well my father thinks very highly of you and my mother isn't that bad; I'm sure you'll like her too." He replied smiling slightly.

"Stop talking as if we were really getting married!" I shrieked. I wasn't sure I could take anymore of this fake love…It seemed so real sometimes…like a moment ago when we almost kissed. "Correction when you tried to kiss him girl." The annoying little voice in my head snickered. It had been too close for comfort. We had to stop that masquerade before I got another chance to mess it all up...

"Well…uhmm…yes I was starting to think that maybe we should get married…and…and" He looked at loss of words.I smiled sadly he was really trying his best to help me but he had no idea how his words were hurting me. He was willing to sacrifice himself and marry me! I didn't want to go through all this nonsense again. I wouldn't survive another heartbreak. I didn't need false hopes, a fake husband and his fake name…I wanted more.

"Well…maybe you could move in with me so I can help you with the baby and…" Just like a dream…an illusion… We would never really be husband and wife.

"You don't have to help me if you don't want to Li-kun…I don't want you to do something you don't want to. I mean marriage is a big step. We can't kid ourselves we're not lovers. It's not right to force you into this kind of thing." My heart wrenched. I never should've involved him in all of this.

"But I do want to help. I've repeated it to you several times already. I want to do this and you're not bothering me at all. If you only knew-" He started softly.

"If I knew what! How it is to be hated by my boyfriend's family! To have a relationship with a man who doesn't really love me! Yes I do know how it feels and I don't want to live that ever again!" I bit back before I could stop myself. He looked at me blankly for a second. I couldn't help but feel relieved to have finally knocked some sense into him.

"I didn't know…you felt that way about this whole ordeal. Oh dear…it must've been pretty hard on you listening to me talking about the wedding and plans for our future." I choked…Why did he have to be so perfect!

"Sakura...For what it's worth…I promise you that I'll never hurt you. So if you don't believe me with this I'll call it all off right away." He stared at me…And I didn't know what to answer. I wasn't sure of what to expect of this whole story anymore. Syaoran wasn't Kenji and maybe if I gave it a try we could really end up together… "And then you will get married live a happy life in a big castle and have a lot of children! Ya right…Sakura get a grip" The little annoying voice scoffed.

"Syaoran…if you promise…I guess I will believe in you." He smiled. He looked so good when he smiled like that. He had been smiling at me a lot lately…Or maybe I was just imagining things again…

"OK…Then will you meet my parents? They'd be thrilled if you could…"

"I'm still not too sure about that…"

"Aww come on you don't want me to get on my knees now?"

"Weeelllll" I smiled; I couldn't really remember how long it had been since I had so much fun.

"Please Miss Kinomoto will you honor me with your presence at a banquet given in your honor by my parents?"

"A banquet you say? What type of banquet are you talking about?"

"Damn it…Those Hiiragizawas are starting to rub off on me!" I heard him curse under his breath. Okay what exactly was he trying to get me into.

"Oh Syaoran…You little sneak were you trying to pull a fast one on me!" I took my most menacing look.

"No…no it was supposed to be a surprise you see…"

"What was supposed to be a surprise" I peered at him curiously.

"It won't be a surprise anymore if I tell you now will it?" He grinned mischievously.

"You little…Tell me what this is about now!"

"You will have to come if you want to find out…" He chided. I lunged for him but didn't see the mug on the floor and slipped on it.

"Woah watch it!" Syaoran shouted as he jumped to break my fall.

"Are you alright? Is the baby okay?" I looked at him surprised at his concern. He was holding me in his arms and peering at me anxiously his gaze going from my face to my womb. I'm sure that if anyone had barged into the room we would've look to them like a happy young couple.

"It's funny I though the same thing."

"Hoe?"

"About how we'd look like a couple …" I blushed to the root of my hair when he whispered those words in my ear.

"Did I say that out loud…?" I asked knowing the answer.

"You're so adorable" He chuckled.

"Ow!"

"What is it! Does it hurt anywhere! We can go to the hospital if you don't feel well." The look on his face was priceless. It felt really good when he looked at me like this.

"It's the baby; I felt him kick. I think we riled him up with our bickering. He's taking his revenge on me…" I chuckled.

"Can I?" He looked astonished like a little boy who had just discovered a new toy. I took his hand and placed it on my belly.

"Heeeeh…I can feel him. He's really excited isn't he? It's wonderful." We were standing in that office…the three of us; like a real family. The scene brought tears to my eyes.

"What is it? Does it hurt that much?" He turned his attention back to me but kept his hands on my tummy.

"No no I'm just being emotional again." I smiled at him.

Eriol's P.O.V.

"And you said it wasn't a good idea to put the cameras in their office" I smiled cheekily looking at the touching scene on his television screen. Those two were really in the mood.

"You were right I was wrong big deal Hiiragizawa! Now be quiet I don't want to miss a thing! This is so KAWAII!" Tomoyo chirped.

"No point in arguing with you…" I shook my head. She was still mad at me for interrupting them before they got a chance to kiss. But I had done it for their future relationship. They simply weren't ready for that kiss and it would've brought a lot more trouble then needed.

"Will you be quiet you little pest I didn't hear what she said because of your babbling!" She hissed. I really loved it when she got angry.

"Don't forget to send the revised copy to Xiao-Lang's father I'm sure he'll be pleased to see how the two lovebirds are getting along."

"How in the world do you want me to cut off those parts without completely ruining the tape? Mr. Li will get suspicious if we mess up!"

"That's why I asked you to take care of it. I know you love editing these kinds of tapes and you're the best editor I know. We can't have Syaoran's parents learning that this is all a masquerade now can we?"

"Fine…I can't believe I married a devious man like you."

"Well you know you have this thing for calculating men." I grabbed her before she could move away from me.

"Let me go you prick!" She squealed.

"Not unless you give me a kiss…" I wiggled my eyebrows at her.

"You despicable little man" She pounded me softly on the chest.

"I love you too" And we kissed oblivious to what was happening on the screen.

Born to be the champ, after the girls that is…

Hope you guys like this one…I really had to sit down all day in front of the computer to get this chapter done…It looks alright now…I won't add anything else anymore I'm way too tired. It's like 3 am already! So sleepy…I'm even starting to see weird things. I think Sakura finally decided to get along with this now…But she's still not convinced about the lying part…Uhmmm I wonder what's going to happen next. And I realised that I hadn't introduced the baby yet. Well he's in now and he really helped me get this whole conversation somewhere…Neways fluffy enough I hope. See ya next week. That's if I manage to find something to write though lol. Good luck to those who have finals this month; I feel your pain (Actually I don't I'm already done and I didn't have finals this semester he he)
