Two of them were in love. They got married. She was pregnant when he left for a business trip. It was only for a week.

Prologue: Burning Flames

"Hey honey. What are you looking at.?" Syaoran's voice was soft, as he spoke to his wife, who was currently 8 months into pregnancy.
"Just pictures of our double wedding with the Hiragizawa's" Sakura replied smiling at him. Syaoran joined her for a while.
"We haven't seen them for so long. Almost 3 years." Sakura continued. Syaoran just smiled, lost in the memories the album brought back to him.
# Ring Ring # The call of the phone filled the Li residence.
Syaoran answered the phone, "Konbanwa{good evening}. Li Residence. Syaoran Li speaking."
Sakura listened as her husband answered the caller with yeahs and okays. It waas a fairly short conversation, which led to another call to the airport. After Syaoran finished the call to the airport, He told Sakura that he had to leave for a business trip.
"I'll be back in a couple of days. I'll call Naoko and tell her to stay with you." He kissed her quickly and started packing. In fifteen minutes, he made one last call to Naoko, who said it would be her pleasure to stay with Sakura.
"Arigatou {thank you} Naoko" Syaoran said before rushing to the airport.

"Welcome back Mr. Li." a voice welcomed him, "This way to your car."
The ride back to his mansion was pretty much boring for Syaoran. He was anxious to see his beloved Sakura again. She was supposed to delever in three weeks and he couldn't wait. He always wanted to spend every moment of his life with her, every since he saw her. Having this child was more than perfect! He was so lost in his thoughts he couldn't see the orange glow outside the tinted window of his car. He stopped the car when he saw numerous fire trucks lined up on the street. He wondered who's house was on fire, momentarily forgeting that only his house stood on the block. He got out of the car and admired the huge flames for a second. Then, snapping to his senses he realized that the magnificient flames were eating through his house.
"Excuse me! Are there people in that house?" Syaoran practically screamed at the fire fighter.
"Yes there are. And here comes one of them." the fire-fighter pointed to a figure from the smoke that engulfed the area. He was carrying an almost dead Naoko in his arms.
"I'm sorry sir, but we could not save anyone else." these words stuck the very core of Syaoran's heart. He surpressed the urge to scream. He watch helplessly as his beloved Sakura was demolished in the burning flames. There was a fire of regret taking over his heart, which was diminishing along with the flames that covered his house and his sole purpose for living, Sakura. He found it difficult to shed tears. He needed to cry, but it hurt too much. It hurt so bad that he couldn't cry. The burning flames of regret in his heart soon died, leving emptiness. Emptiness which grew, as every second of his life had passed by.
