Syaoran stared at her in shock and disbelief. "Run that by me again." " I said I arranged for you to marry Meiling." Syaoran's jaw dropped. The initial shock began to wear off as the reality of her statement sunk in. "But I don't love Meiling." "Not all marriages are based on love." Syaoran could feel his heart being ripped up. Anger welled up inside his soul. The anger subsided, however, and was quickly replaced by anguish. "Why have you done this? Why are you making me marry Meiling?" "Because it's for the best," she replied coldly. "But Sakura, I love you! I want to marry YOU!" A.N. you guys thought it was gonna be Syaoran's mom, didncha? Ahaha Sakura looked deep into his eyes. She found herself becoming lost in his longing. She forced herself to snap out of her trance. His marriage to Meiling was for the best. He was poor, and she needed someone wealthier to take care of her.
Syaoran took her hand. She looked up at him and he could have sworn he saw a glimmer of regret, pain, and longing in her eyes. "Tell me that you love me." She dropped her head and remained silent. "Tell me that you once loved me." Sakura couldn't find her words. She searched, but they would not come. She longed to tell him how much she truly loved him, to fell his strong arms around her, protecting her from everything in the world, to feel his warm lips on hers. Somehow she managed to swallow these words that would not come, and replied calmly, "I loved you once, I still love you and I will always love you until the day I die and forever after." I'd love to hear somebody say that to me, but you know how that goes Syaoran looked at her with hope and confusion. "Then why won't you marry me?" Sakura stared at the floor, knowing perfectly well that if she looked into his eyes now, she'd never be able to stop herself from running into his embrace and never leaving his side.
Sakura wrenched her hand from his and gathered all her courage. "Because I need something more than two oxen and an ugly little hut to live off of for the rest of my life!" With that, she turned and ran as fast as her legs would carry her and as far away from Syaoran's porch as was possible, leaving him standing there in utter and complete shock.
