The peace before a storm -- 2 months later-- The alarm clock went off at 6 o'clock, woke Kero, who was sleeping in the drawer, but Sakura does not look like she want to wake up. "What's going on?" Kero flew over and turned off the clock. "Sakura! Sakura! Wake up! You promised me some pancakes for breakfast?" "What… pancake… shut up!" Sakura pulled the sheet over her head and turned around back to Kero. "Hm…" Kero saw that Sakura is not going to wakeup, he is raging mad. "SAKURA------! GET UP NOW!" "Waaaaaa!" Sakura jumped up on the bed. "Whaaa! I still wanna sleep!" "You promised me to get up earlier and make me pancakes?" "Ahaha… I for got about it." "SAKURA…" "Ok, ok, is that the only reason you 'dug' me up this hour in the morning?" "That's right!" "…" Sakura was totally beaten by Kero. "Okay! Go down stairs, I'll do it!" Sakura put on an apron and started working. "Pancake, pancake, more honey the better! Sakura! I want honey on my pancake!" "I know!" She started laughing; she hasn't done the batter yet! After a while-- {Okay! Now I can just put the batter in the pan…} Sakura put the batter in the frying pan, suddenly, she felt dizzy. {Hoe?} The batter started to form a circle in the center of the pan; Sakura started to feel sick, that sweet smell making her sick. The floor, the ceiling started to go round and round. Faster and faster they go. Sakura rushed into the bathroom and started vomiting, a kind of strange feeling spread inside her. Kero flew behind her and patted her on the back. "Are you sick? Sakura? Your face is so pale!" "I'm okay! I just want to puke, that's all." She walked out. Kero looked at her in suspicion. He decided to stop her from going to school. -- Seijou High School Grade 1 Room 2-- "Sakura-chan, why were you late this morning?" "Kero… I don't know what's wrong with him, this morning he stopped me from coming to school!" Sakura was complaining to Tomoyo about Kero. She does not know why Kero stop her from coming, they pulled and dragged at the door, and the result was… Sakura were late. Being told off in front of Syaoran, what a shame! "Why doesn't Kero let you off?" "Who the he*l knows? He looked worried thought!" "Worried? Are you sick?" Tomoyo looked worried as well, she though that Sakura may feel ill and pretend to be fine. "I'm fine, really…" Sakura stopped abruptly, she felt like if her stomach turned over, the sickness came so fast that Sakura almost vomited on Tomoyo. Sakura covered her mouth and ran to the toilet. Tomoyo followed. Sakura puked and vomited in there, include her breakfast and the snack she just ate, when there were nothing left to come out, Sakura vomited some water. She stopped the sickness and walked out. She saw the worriness of Tomoyo's face. She led Sakura back to the classroom and sat her down. After a while, "Sakura-chan, … when was your last period?" "Why? Well… not yet this month… and not last month… that's pretty strange…" "Huh?" "Why do you ask?" "You might be pregnant!" Tomoyo slowly said. "Ma- Matte! Doushite? It's impossible!" "Why impossible?" "I…" Sakura stopped there, she remembered the stormy night, the school roof, in the bushes, at Syaoran's house… few times. "Sakura-chan, now… don't worry. I knew everything." "No! I meant… why would I be…" Sakura is not worried about that, all she cared about is why would she be pregnant. Tomoyo listened to her question, started false smiling. {God! What do you do in health!}? "Don't worry, Sakura- Chan. it's just a guess, it might not be true." Tomoyo soothed Sakura. "Go and check, that would help." "Yeah…" "Ok. We'll go home after school, get changed and then go to the Penguin Park and meet there. Oh! I almost forgot!" Tomoyo suddenly remembered an important thing. "Let Li-Kun go with you!" "No! Don't tell Syaoran yet!" Sakura jumped like if she had been electrocuted. "Why? If it really is true, Li-Kun is the father of the baby." "That's true, but we are not certain now, are we? I don't want him to be worried as well as you. So don't let him know yet. Ok Tomoyo?" "Alright. I know." Because of this thing, Sakura couldn't concentrate on her lessons, she doesn't know what is she worrying about her self, there is a muck in her head. At last, home time… "Don't forget! Sakura-Chan!" "I know…" Sakura nodded at Tomoyo and skated out the gate, not to far from the gate, "Sakura!" "O-oh…" Sakura turned around, and saw Syaoran walking towards her. {No!} She totally forgot he sat right behind her in class, he probably found out something. "What is it, Syaoran-Kun?" "You are weird today…" "Hoe?" A strange expression flashed on Sakura's face, just for a second, but Syaoran saw all that. "Is that so? No… nothing! Ahahaha! I got things to do… Ja ne! Syaoran-Kun!" Sakura quickly skated away. "Ah! Sakura…" He knew that there is no way he will ever catch up with her, so he went. {That was close! Syaoran really scare me sometimes.} Sakura arrived at the door. "Tadaima! Kero?" Usually Kero will fly to the door and welcome her home. But today he didn't, Sakura dropped her school bag and started looking for the sealing beast. "Kero? Where are you?" She heard sound coming from her father's room. Kero turned Fujitaka's video; he is watching a film. There were tissues all over the floor, and a few empty boxes of tissues lying on the floor. "Here you are, what are you doing?" "Okaerinasai, Sakura-Chan! Come and watch this film, it's so sad!" "What are you watching?" "Meeting in Dark red. Watch. That man is about to say something really mean!" "?" The woman on the screen followed a man, and said 'Utsui! I'm pregnant!' 'Don't lie to me! I don't believe you!' 'Is true! This is the proof!' The man held the paper and threw it to the ground. 'Abort it.' 'It's our baby! Utsui!" 'What ever, I won't approve it.' The woman grabbed the man's shirt, but he pushed her away. "That Beast! That man is mean! He dumped her and then told her to abort the baby!" "Kero! What does abort mean?" "Is the doctors kill the baby first then take it out, usually done when they doesn't want it or accidentally got pregnant, e? Sakura… you look terrified… what's wrong?" "No…nothing! I'm going out with Tomoyo… I'll be back in an hour. Ittekimasu!" "Where are you going?" "I said with Tomoyo!" {Tomoyo? That means I could keep watching TV!} Kero laughed for a minute and sunk into the movie again. Is summer, but is quite chilling in the evenings. Sakura walked slowly, toward the Penguin Park. A few thoughts churned in her mind. {What would I do if I were really pregnant? What would Syaoran-Kun say? What would I do?" She sighed and walked on Tomoyo may just ahead. "Sakura!" "Tomoyo…hoee?" It's not Tomoyo's sweet voice, its a boy's deep voice, and is… "Syaoran-Kun?" Sakura got a huge fright. "You asked Daidouji-San to come here, where are you going?" "Ah… eh… twin bells! Where is Tomoyo- Chan anyway?" Sakura just want to see Tomoyo, because Syaoran looked like if he knew everything. "Daidouji-San won't come anymore, she asked me to give you this." He handed Sakura a pink, neatly folded piece of paper. Sakura- Chan: I missed the meeting and told Li- Kun everything, but I'm sure he will give you the feeling of safety, and I believe he won't say anything 'mean' to you. Gomennasai, Sakura- Chan! Daidouji Tomoyo "Tomoyo…" She did not blame Tomoyo, but Syaoran's eyes looked so scary, she was scared. "Why didn't you tell me? If Daidouji-San didn't tell me, I would never know this had ever happened!" "I…" Syaoran turned away sadly; "Can't you trust me? Couldn't you tell me? What were you afraid of?" "Syaoran- Kun… I just don't want to make you worry about me." "You just made me worried a lot more, don't do that to me again! Okay?" Syaoran held her hands tightly. "Don't you worry, you don't have to. Go to the hospital first, Daidouji- San told me about it." "Mnn!" Sakura nodded, what will it turn out to be? She'll know pretty soon! --------------------------------------------------------- Sakura is tired of everything the doctors did to her, when she thought she is gonna collapse, the doctor finally let her out. "Please sit out in the corridor, the result would be out soon." "Arigatou…" Sakura walked out of the door, when she is out of the door, she 'turned into jelly' and Syaoran caught her just in time, "Sakura!" "Daijoubu desu ka?" "Hai… doctor said the result would come out very soon." "It's gonna be okay… no matter what the result is…" The clinic room door flew open and a nurse came out, Sakura knew her face, when the doctor was checking, this nurse has been helping. "Kinomoto-San!" "Hai… that's me!" "The result is… it shows…" Sakura clung to Syaoran tight. "It shows… You are pregnant! Congratulations!" The smile of the nurse looked like an evil smile in Sakura's eyes. "Really? I…" "That's right, do you need to see it your self? E? Your face is so pale… do you need any rest?" Sakura didn't know what happened then. "Akiko! Would you come here for a second?" Syaoran let Sakura lean on him. Akiko came out of the room and handed a piece of paper to Syaoran. "Li- Kun! Kinomoto- San! Take these." "What is it?" "Is the abortion methods and fees. I think you'll need it." "Aa." Syaoran quickly put the piece of paper in his pocket, and pulled Sakura left the hospital. So cold, so cold, where is Syaoran taking her? Syaoran pulled her hand, dragging her along. Then, he stopped. Sakura realized she is in front of Mizuki Shrine. "Sakura… if you had our child… the best way is…" {Syaoran… what do you want to say?} "Let's…" {hmmm…} "Let's get married!" "Hoe?" Sakura looked at Syaoran in disbelief. "This… is for you!" Syaoran pulled out a ring from nowhere; "This set of jewelry is given to me when I was very young. It's the set that gets handed down for generations of the Li clan. Will you take it?" The ring in his hands shone in a light blue colour, the same to her earrings. "Yes… I will!" Syaoran slid the ring on to her finger. Sakura decided her future, she is going to stay with Syaoran forever… the light of the moon shone on them… even if everything is destroyed… my love to you will never end… -- Daidouji's-- Sakura sat By Syaoran in Tomoyo's room, both of them were nervous. Tomoyo smiled as usual. "Is there anything you wanted to say to me?" Sakura's face burned straightaway. "Nan?" "I decided to…" "Get married?" "Hoeeee? Tomoyo! How did you know?" Tomoyo just smiled, form her expression, anyone can guess. "Congratulations! You and Li-Kun stay forever… you will be happy!" "Ahaha!" "But… have you told everyone… your decision?" Sakura's smile cracked at the thought. "What about Kero and Touya-Kun?" "I…" She doesn't even dared to image how will they react… "Why? I think Kero will let you and Touya-Kun is your brother and loved you as his imotosan… I don't think he'll say no." "Oh… well…" "Kero said he will come here at eleven o'clock, tell him then. He'll have to know sooner or later." Tomoyo looked at her watch. "It's ten fifty-nine… he'll be here any minute…" "Hoeee! Tomoyo!" Sakura jumped from the chair, she is not ready! Too late… Kero opened the window and flew in. "Tomoyo! Koniyanichiwa! Sakura! Brat is here too!" Kero stared at the couple for a while, looking at them suspiciously. "Kero! Sakura have something to tell you, do you want tea or cocoa?" "Cocoa! Sakura, what are you going to tell me?" Sakura turned her face and blabbed, Kero didn't even understand a word. He turned to Tomoyo. "Sakura is going to marry Li- Kun." The short sentence made Kero stunned there for at least thirty seconds. "Nani?" Sakura closed her eyes, she thought that next will be Kero freaking out. "Sa… Sakura… you agreed to marry the brat?" "Yeah…" "Well… I can't stop you then… I congratulate you two." Sakura hugged Kero in joy, kissing the little furry animal. Syaoran glared in jealousy. "Wa! Sakura let me go! You are strangling me!" Kero struggled for his 'life' and finally got out of Sakura's arms. "Sakura… why do you decide to marry that brat now? May be a few years later, you are only sixteen years old! Don't you think is too quick?" Sakura turned around blushing. "You tell me, brat! You looked if you were on vacation." Kero now aimed at Syaoran.
"Because Sakura is…" "She is what? Tell me!" "She is pregnant…" Syaoran's voice is like buzzing of a mosquito, he is very embarrassed, it's his entire fault. "P…P…Pregnant?" Kero glared at Syaoran with a false smile on his face. "Is your fault right? BRAT? I'll never forgive you! Anta! Sakura ga kokousei ne!" Kero bit Syaoran in fury, blood flew but Kero did not let go. He is going to teach Syaoran a lesson, let him know that the sealing beast is not to be made fun out of. "Stop! Both of you! Kero! Let go! Can't you two just sit together like normal?" Sakura saw that Syaoran is arguing with Kero again, she is very upset, one is the only one she truly loves, and one is a tomodachi that had been with her for a long time. Sakura's tears rolled down her face. Syaoran and Kero both saw that Sakura cried had to let go of each other. Syaoran pulled Sakura close and wiped away all the tears with kisses, promised that he will never argue with Cerberus anymore. "Well… I'll have to promise…" Kero said with a sigh. Sakura smiled. "I'll try my best." "What for?" "Not arguing with that brat." "CERBERUS!" "Wahaha! I was just kidding!" -- Yukito & Touya's house-- Yukito said to Touya who is in the kitchen cooking supper. "Sakura just rang." "Kaijuu? What for?" "She said that she had something to tell us and will come in a moment." "Tell us on the phone." "Maybe something important." "Oh… Yuki… come and help me with this…" "Ok." It's ten o'clock. "Is Sakura coming or not? I wanna go to sleep." "Touya you go and get some sleep, I'll wait for her." The doorbell rang. Sakura came with Syaoran. "Hello, oniichan… Yukito-san haven't seem you in a while" "Hi… Hello." Syaoran bowed. Touya thought it was something unusual. "Sakura- San, Syaoran-Kun come in." "Arigatou! Yukito-San" Sakura stared at Yukito for a moment, called "Yue! Come out to me!" Yukito transformed into Yue. "Sakura! What are you doing? Why do you want to call Yue?" Touya was shocked by her actions, because Yue had slept in Yukito since Sakura left Elementary. "I have something to tell you two and I hope Yue can be here as well." "Well, let's go to the lounge, don't stand here." When everyone sat down, Kero slipped out of Sakura's bag and sat on her shoulder. "Master, Why do you call me?" Yue asked. "Yue… niichan… I'm going to marry Syaoran-Kun." "Nani?" Touya couldn't believe his ears; Sakura is going to marry that Brat? "That's good, master, congratulations!" Yue smiled at Syaoran. His memory for Syaoran is not too bad. Master should be happy with him. Touya did not think so. "You really wanted my sister from the start! I knew it! But you said you want to marry so suddenly, something must have happened! Like if she is pregnant or something. Right?" Sakura sweatdropped. "I disagree you marry my sister!" "Touya- Kun! I… I really like Sakura! I know that you dislike me, but you can't deny this just by that dislike about Sakura and me! Boku wa Sakura suki ne! I love her! Truly love her, I will sacrifice anything to be with her!" Touya were stunned. Sakura couldn't speak either, Syaoran told everyone about it. "Yeah, niichan! I like Syaoran, I want to stay with him forever, and I want niichan's blessings as well, I don't want to stay with Syaoran with out your best-wishes, I won't be happy." "Sakura…" "Touya…" Yue put his hand on Touya's shoulder, "I think that little fellow will take care of master, don't worry. If he treat Master badly, teach him a lesson then. What do you think? Cerberus?" "I don't really trust that brat, but he worry and care for Sakura and protect her. I give him a chance." Yue smiled at Touya, "What do you say." "…Okay, I let you off. But remember, to take care of this Kaijuu for me, understand? Or I won't forgive you." Touya thought he had nothing else to say, then he had to agree. Sakura hugged Touya in joy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow! I wrote alot! Mind you! I'm getting headache from all this typing and thinking.
