Brother of the Bride

*DISCLAIMERS*
Blah blah yah yah. These characters aren't mine. The storyline is half mine. 'Nuff said.


Hah. Here's a story written in Touya's point of view... of when Sakura and Syaoran get married
_ LOL okay... so this kinda goes along with the movie Father of the Bride. I didnt really
watch it, meaning this storyline won't be a carbon copy of the movie. SO DONT SUE ME!!!!
(bleeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah XP)

BTW, when the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ line seperates paragraphs n stuff, it seperates a LONG period of time
(10 hours at the least would be considered long.. it goes from 2 hours to even 9 months )

Anyways, let's get on with the story.

****************************************

I braced myself for the upcoming noise coming from my little sister's bedroom. It was every
morning she did this. She was always late for school. Then again, in this case, College.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.. shouldn't I move out? Shouldn't I be married by now? I just
don't really have much interest in getting married as of now. And as for the reason why I still
live with my dad and little sister..... ... let's just say that it saves me a LOT of money.

Yuki still comes by all the time. We hang out a lot. I feel that even if I do get on with my
life, Yuki will still be hanging around a lot. I'm sure you've heard. Yuki gets his power source
off of me, since Sakura was too weak at that point.

I was surprised when I found out about everything that was going on. I should say.. I was a bit
angry myself since Sakura didn't tell me. I mean, who knows what kind of danger she could be in?
Well, when all that crap was finished, that chinese brat left. It really broke her heart. That
was the thing I really didn't want to happen. More than anything in the world, I would want my
little sister to be safe at all times. Safe and happy. Very happy.... that's the big problem with
long distance relationships. But, I gotta admit, the kaijuu really loves the brat, and it makes
her happy.. so I guess I really can't complain.

"Morning, Nii-chaaaan," Sakura cheerfully beamed.

"Morning, Kaijuu." I snickered.

"You know, I'm not a little kid anymore," Sakura protested. "I'm in college now. I'm trying to
get my degree in teaching so I can get on with my life."

"I know, but you're still a kaijuu. Your snoring proves it." I taunted.

Sakura gave me an evil glare before sitting down to eat breakfast. She took her plate and neatly
placed it in the center. I can recall the time when she just wolfed down her breakfast. No
manners at all. I was surprised how ladylike she had become, since she was very tomboyish as a
child.

I lightly laughed at this gesture, and I continued with my own breakfast. Yeah, off to work
today. Me and Yuki both work at the same place. Some.. some computer hardware store. We get to
fix a bunch of electronics.

The telephone rang. It startled me a bit, since I wasn't expecting people calling this early in
the morning. Sakura got up and went towards the phone. She picked it up and started talking. As
I eavsdropped to see who it was, I got an even BIGGER surprise. I nearly choked on my piece of
sausage.

"Syaoran-kun!! What? What's that? You're coming to Japan tonight???!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was not amused. I had to take Sakura to the airport to pick up the chinese brat. I just growled
to myself behind the driver's wheel. Sakura wouldn't shut up about that chinese kid. She's just
another girl hopelessly in love. I reeled us in beside the main entrance, where people kept on
picking up and dropping off others. I looked around for a while. Then I saw him. I remembered
him. He looked exactly the same, just.. just taller and more adult looking. I could imagine
Sakura drooling at this instant. Handsome guys drive girls nuts. And because Sakura is a young
adult, this would definitely drive her nuts.

"OVER THERE!! OVER THERE!!!" Sakura shouted in my ear, pointing excitedly towards the brat's
whereabouts.

"Yeah yeah. Hold your horses, Kaijuu." I sighed.

I pulled up beside him. Sakura stumbled out of the car, without thinking whether she'll get hurt
or not. The brat caught her before her face hit the cement. Then the two embraced eachother,
tightly.. and then...

Ugh, no. I'm not even going to watch. My little sister.. there's no way she'll become captive of
him. I'm sure, that pretty soon, which is bound to happen in every relationship, they'll have a
stupid argument over something and end up breaking up. It happens all the time. I decided to get
out of the car and help them with the luggages. The brat was going to stay at Tomoyo's, since she
has a lot of space in her house. Considering the fact that she's really rich, no wonder the brat
chose to go there. I'm sure that will lead to an arguement.

I'm sure. Just you watch..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things passed by quite smoothly, actually. Nothing went wrong this year. The brat had moved out
and lived in his own apartment now. I wonder where he gets all that money.. I haven't really seen
him working anywhere...

This year was just like any other regular year. It's been 11 months since that brat came here. I
know I'm jumping ahead of time, but I don't really see much of Sakura anymore since she keeps on
going out with the brat. It's not all that interesting, believe me. And I wouldn't really care
about what goes on in her love life. But, this time I was brought under a very important matter.
As I headed towards my bedroom, I heard small sobs coming from Sakura's room. I knocked lightly,
but she didn't answer.

"Sakura, I'm coming in," I warned.

I opened the door, and found Sakura sitting on her bed, tears softly falling on her lap. I sat
beside her.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We.. we... we got in a fight today.." Sakura sobbed.

"Who's we?"

"Me.. and... and..... Syaoran-kun....."

Bingo. See, I told you! I was right. I put a hand on her shoulder.

"It doesn't really matter though, does it? How did you get in a fight in the first place?"

"I.. I... he... he ignored me most of the time today.. and... and........ he wasn't paying
attention to anything...." She complained.

"Where did you go?"

"To the mall.. and then to the planetarium... but he didn't talk much to me all day.." She cried.

I looked away. No, this wasn't good. I wasn't an expert on giving love advice.

"Do.. do you think he didn't mean it?" she asked.

"I don't know.. I don't know the brat very much..." I said.

"Don't call him a brat...." Sakura mumbled.

I sighed. No, I dont think I could've won this fight.

"He can be so stubborn at times...." Sakura explained.

"Maybe he'll end up going back to china or something...." I told her.

It was stupid, but, like I said. I wasn't the best at giving love advice.

"NO! No.... he... he can't.... I know he won't....." she said, sobbing harder.

I got up and headed out the door without saying goodbye to Sakura. I couldn't sit there watching
my little sister cry like that. So, I had a duty. I put on my jacket and headed out the door.
Where I was going? To the brat's house.

I knocked on his door, twice. He let me in the building but he didn't seem to want to let me in
his apartment. Finally, the door opened and we held our traditional staring contest for quite a
while... but then his next door neighbour came out, an old lady in about her 70's... embarassed,
we crept inside.

"What do you want?" The brat hissed.

"I'm here to 'escort' you back to my house so you and Sakura can have a talk.."

"What about? She's mad at me.. she won't even talk to me.."

"Look, she's just upset about what happened. She'll get over it, now let's go." I hissed back.

"I don't see why I have to." Syaoran muttered.

Then and there, I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out the door. Whether he liked it or
not, he had to go talk to my sister and work things out. Because like I said.. I can't have my
little sister cry so much all the time. He was going to make her happy, OR ELSE.

I dragged him inside the door and made him sit at the couch. Then I trudged up the stairs to
Sakura's room. I lightly knocked.

"Your chinese brat awaits you downstairs," I muttered.

In a split second, the door was opened and I was left standing there, looking at an empty room.
The kaijuu already made her way down to the family room, ready to talk to her boyfriend. I slowly
climbed down the stairs and stopped before I hit the last step. I leaned towards the direction of
the family room... to hear........

"Syaoran-kun!!"

"Sakura-chan.... I'm... I'm awfully sorry..... will.... .... will you ever forgive me?"

"HAAAAAAAI!!!!"

No more!! It was just sickening. Sakura paws all over him all the time. I didn't need to look; I
already knew that she was smothering him with hugs and kisses. I rolled my eyes and went back to
my room. I just didn't understand HOW they could keep up in situations like that......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up this morning, I knew I was going to hate today. I didn't know why, but it was just
some kind of premonition that kept on nagging at me. As I sipped my coffee, reading the news, Dad
sat down beside me.

"Good morning," he said.

"'Morning," I replied.

"Touya-san.... I just wanted to sit and talk with you about something for a little while...."

I nodded. I didn't like his tone of voice. I wasn't in trouble or anything, but it's the type of
tone when he really wants to know about something in my life.

"You know.... I don't want to force it or anything... but you've already finished college and
you should be going on with your life... won't you ever get married and have kids?"

I turned away. This wasn't the question I was expecting, and it's the question that I don't want
to answer. I never really wanted to get in any relationships with anyone. After Kaho, I just lost
my will to date other girls, I guess. But then again, Kaho was older than me. Maybe Dad was
right. Maybe I should look for someone... and I probably should try spending so much time with
Yuki. I'm not saying I don't like him or anything. I mean, the both of us are *pretty* close. But
then people would probably start thinking of us.. as.... *ahem* you know. I think there's quite
a lot of people who already thinks that. You might be one of them o_o;

"I'm not ready... plus.. I'd have to go to other places to meet girls," I told him.

"I see." Dad said. "But I'm just saying.. you should get on with your life as early as possible
so you can make the best of it! Again, I don't want to force you, but as your father, I just
wanted to give you some pointers..!"

I grinned at dad, and he grinned back.

"Thanks. I really appreciate it, dad. I'll think about it."

That's when Sakura burst in through the door. She seemed nervous. She was shaking. She nervously
took off her shoes and stumbled into the living room. She was panting from running, and her face
was red. She took a few minutes to catch her breath.

"What's the rush?" My dad asked her.

Tears seemed to form in her eyes. But I couldn't conclude yet that she was sad, because the edge
of her lips were curled upwards. I studied her face a bit longer.

"Well, spit it out, Kaijuu."

She looked at me, and smiled. Probably the happiest smile I have ever seen on her. Tears started
streaming down her face.

"Aren't you going to tell us?" Dad queried.

At that moment, Sakura brought out a small velvet jewelry box. ... No. This couldn't be what I
think it is, could it? No way... there's no... freakin.... way........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You don't know how much I regret this day. You have no idea at all. Last month held the worst day
of my life. The worst day that I have dreaded since the day Sakura was born. Maybe it wasn't the
worst... things COULD get worse... but so far in my life, this has been the worst. The worst and
the best, in fact.

Sakura walked up to me, showing off her dress. She looked gorgeous in it. Maybe that would've
been describing too much as a brother, but seriously. I have never seen her look so happy or so
beautiful in her life. She twirled around twice, then looked at me. Her eyes were sparkling a
deep, dazzling green.

"Tomoyo-chan made it..! Isn't it beautiful??" She beamed.

"It's WONDERFUL!!" Tomoyo commented, eyes shining. She had her camcorder on, recording Sakura's
every move. "It's so wonderful that Sakura-chan and Li-kun are getting married! It's surprising
too, because they've been together for the LONGEST TIME!!"

I couldn't help but pull a grin. Dad was taking pictures of Sakura dancing around. I sighed and
went up to her.

"I never thought I'd say this... but... I was really dreading the day I would lose my little
sister like this. But then again I wanted this day to happen because there would be a chance that
it would grant you eternal happiness. Be happy with the chinese brat."

Sakura grinned and hugged me. "Arigatou, Nii-chan!"

"No prob, Kaijuu."

Sakura gave me a nasty look, but couldn't hold her laugh. She burst out laughing, and so did
everyone in the room. Soon, I started to break down in laughter too.

"Sakura, this is the biggest day of your life. We all wish you the best for your life!" Tomoyo
said, hugging Sakura.

"Arigatou, minna!" Sakura grinned.

I left the room to sit down in the church row.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was almost over. Sakura and the brat had placed the rings on eachother's hand, and said their
vows. I hated this. Hated this, hated this. Sakura was going to be taken away from me forever,
and there was nothing I could really do about it.

"Noooooo........." I mumbled.

"SSSHHHH!" said the lady beside me.

I sighed. I should've stood up in objection when I had the chance. But doing that would be
ruining Sakura's day. Aaarrrrrrgh!!! The.. the......... the confusion of it all!!!

"Sakura really does look pretty in that dress," Yuki whispered, leaning over so that no one else
could hear.

"She does," I said back. Again, I couldn't help but admit it. I mean... well... you know what I
mean. I can't even explain it anymore. This situation just confused me even more everyday.

"You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced.

I looked away and shuddered with disgust. I just couldn't imagine Sakura's lips meeting with
someone else's. The idea just seemed.. too.... too strange.

The couple happily jogged down the isle, while everyone followed. Next, we would be going to
the big fancy restaurant to eat and other things. Everyone started throwing rice at them as they
stumbled into the limo. Well.... there goes another happy newlywed couple... which consisted of
my sister and the chinese brat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn't long before they proposed their honeymoon, and where they would be going. They said
that a trip to America, Florida I think it was, wouldn't be too bad. They would be gone for two
weeks. I guess it looked like I wasn't going to play subsitute mom anymore to Sakura. But then,
I still could play the obnoxious big brother that I always was. I guess..... Sakura could take
care of herslef now. Now that she's married. My younger sister has gotten ahead of life; further
ahead from me. But then, the question came to my mind. Sakura is married. To the chinese brat.
And when you're married, you have to...... start.... a.......... family....................

I paused and thought of the situation long and hard.

It looks like I still might be playing the mother again, after all.

*******************************

Well, what you think? Like? Please review. No like? Flame it or leave it.

Bride II!
