in this story, there is, of course, Sakura and Syaoran pairing and not any1 else! pls! (you'll get it later)
well, i really should not spill the beans about who the perosn is, so- go ahead and read!
also, don't forget to leave comments for me, OK?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything...though i wish Syoarn belonged to me...(sigh)
The pale morning sunlight casts a golden glow on the tiny stone church. The creeping ivy on it bursts with life. Bells chime loudly as a fleet of doves soar high in the sky, the fluttering of their wings proving to be sweet music for the ears.
I make my way out of the church with a lightheaded feeling, clutching my pretty cherry blossom's hand. Sakura's fierce joy and happiness is evident on her face. People squeeze my hand, shouting many phrases of congratulations, wishing me the best in my life etc.
I was never really fond of crowds and masses of people and so, I wanted my wedding to be a small affair. But Sakura's puppy eyes had melted my heart and I had to give in. (sigh)
Today, I feel as though the long war I am waging against the world suddenly seems so easy to emerge victorious in, because of the pretty girl beside me. She, who taught me that life just isn't serious, boring and full of responsibilities, but is all about love, friendship and happiness. Today, I feel like I am the luckiest man in the world because I have the most important woman in my life by my side. And the best part is, she loves me as well. My Sakura. I can hardly believe I am entitled to call her that!
"Ne, Syaoran-kun, are you alright?" asks my sweet princess, a confused expression on her face. She, perhaps, must be the only person in the world who looks adorable even when she was flustered.
I smile back. "What makes you think I'm not OK?"
"You had that weird spaced out look on your face," she continues. I smile dreamily and say, "It's cause I'm with you."
She blushes faintly and says, "Not here, Syaoran."
But still, there is this odd feeling. The day is glimmering like a beautiful dream…yet there is this odd sense of incompletion. In spite of the perfect wedding to the most perfect girl in the world, I still feel as though there is something amiss.
There is the beautiful cake, a wondrous avenue for the wedding; I am finally united with Sakura. I have everything I ever wanted.
My strict, yet loving and beautiful mother is by my side. Meilin stands tall in a wine red dress and my four sisters can't stop gawking over Sakura and me.
But yet, there is that feeling…am I missing someone?
As Sakura and I proceed towards the gleaming Rolls-Royce amidst loud cheering and applause, I catch sight of a figure with a video camera, walking backwards on the white linen carpet.
My eyes widen in realization…of course!
Eager to capture all our moments, or rather, all of Sakura's delightful moments, Sakura's faithful best friend had decided to take the matter of video recording into her own hands.
Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were sparkling.
"Over here, Sakura-chan and Li-kun!" she called in her melodious voice.
Sakura waved to the camera and I flashed my warmest smile.
Tomoyo-san.
You are the one I was longing to see. The very epitome of kindness, grace and silence.
Yes, silence, as you never considered it necessary to voice your opinions. You would just smile quietly, and yet people were convinced of your wisdom. You always kept quiet when you didn't want to hurt anyone's sentiments.
We were never really close and I was especially wary of your keen observation and sharp intellect. But, your sincerity and soft spoken manner won me over and I began to confide in you about my feelings for Sakura.
I was confused, bewildered and didn't know what to do as I had never felt this way before about anything or anyone before.
I would sleep really late at night, listening to voice messages from Sakura, wondering all along what the hell was wrong with me. I would wake up really early in the morning and sit gazing out of my window, thinking of the pretty cherry blossom. The night suddenly seemed so terrifying and sleep seemed tantalizing because I would dream of Sakura, Sakura and only Sakura.
You took me under your wing and created various opportunities for me and Sakura to get alone together. But I always managed to mess things up, didn't I, Tomoyo-san?
FLASHBACK
"Ohayou!" yelled an ecstatic Sakura as she ran inside the classroom, huffing and panting.
"Ohayou, Sakura-chan!" replied Tomoyo enthusiastically.
I received a sudden sharp nudge in my ribs.
"Ow!-hayou, Sakura," I mumbled, my cheeks flaming.
"Ohayou, Syaoran-kun!" replied Sakura, flashing her pearly whites.
After Sakura had ducked down to retrieve a fallen notebook, you turned to me and flashed a meaningful smile.
I merely scowled in return. Wasn't I such a fool?
END OF FLASHBACK
I had promised Meilin I would marry her, unless I would find the girl for me. Unfortunately for Meilin, I did find someone. When I told her about Sakura and tried to indicate to her that our relationship was over, she slipped into her shoes and ran away, leaving a confused Wei and a sad and ashamed me behind.
But you, being the ever kind, thoughtful and consoling friend, took Meilin's head into your lap and listened to her heart wrenching sobs about my betrayal. Stroking her hair, you also gently defended me and told her that perhaps, we weren't meant to be. You told her that she could easily find someone for herself because of her cheerful nature and sweet smile. You also tried to tell her that I was kind enough to keep my word and that I didn't cheat on her.
And today, thanks to you, Meilin stands hand in hand with Ryu, her fiancé. She has gotten over me and we maintain a cordial relationship.
But I failed to see what was behind the mask of happiness and delight.
While you smiled and laughed, I began to notice that your smile never reached your eyes. They remained sad and lonely.
Tomoyo-san, you were always so sacrificing. You gave away everything you ever wanted and desired, to me.
Still don't get it? Well, I may act as though I'm oblivious to my surroundings, but I did realize about your special feelings for Sakura.
You cared so much about her. Your adoration and love could be easily seen in the various costumes you designed for her; when you used to wait for her until she finishes her cheerleading practice; when you used to and of course, still video tape, all of her ventures as a Card captor.
And when, I arrived, your hopes and dreams were shattered. You questioned the very reason of your existence. You tried to distance yourself from her, much to Sakura's confusion and my distress.
But later, I realized, this was yet another of your selfless moves.
"If the person I love is happy, then that's all I want."
How many times have you told yourself that?
How many times have you cried to yourself in the dark whenever you saw me with Sakura?
How many times have you bit back the bile when you saw me kissing Sakura?
How many times have you smiled vaguely when you saw Sakura's eyes light up on seeing me?
I feel pathetic, ashamed and really small-minded because of what you have been through. You were always been there for me, helping me get to Sakura or trying to get me to speak in a polite manner to that Hiiragizawa.
And me? How did I replay you?
By breaking you r heart.
Even when you lost your voice (because of THAT Hiiragizawa) you always smiled and even went as far as to console me and Sakura that you were perfectly okay.
In spite of taking away your most valuable treasure in the world, the apple of your eye, the diadem in your life, the most important person….
You never stopped smiling at me throughout the ceremony. It was always the smile I loved so much: soft, meaningful, reassuring, that lit up your eyes in a soft purple glow.
Even when I was so nervous about forgetting me wedding vows, you told me that everything would be okay. You even said that if I did forget something, you would remind me of the latter part through sign language because you had learnt both of our vows yourself! (That sure was a relief.)
As we reach the avenue of the reception, I glance at the sky. It's twilight already. I smile gently. The sky looks just like your eyes, Daidouji-san.
It's time for the dances. After I had waltzed with Sakura across the room, Sakura went off to look for her father. She wanted to dance with him.
That's when I caught sight of you. Video taping away, as usual.
I walked to you, slowly, conscious of the many people casting admiring glances at me. You suddenly focus the video camera on me, much to my annoyance.
"Put that away, will you! Anyone will think we are paying you for this, the way you are at it!" I exclaim, irritated.
You grin and stop recording. Laughing lightly, you pout cutely and reply, "why, Li-kun! You have ruined my Sakura's Big Wedding Documentary with your rude comment!"
I grin and reply, "Well, let the people think you are a family friend, and not a commercial video taper or something."
"How come the handsome groom noticed his old friend when he had his gorgeous bride by his side?" you ask cheekily.
I blush and merely ignore that comment. If there's something I don't like about you, it's the way you annoy me ad infinitum by teasing me all the time.
I guess Hiiragizawa's influence can prove contagious.
As the dance gets over, I suddenly seize the opportunity and say, "Daidouji-san, Can I have this dance?"
You look surprised for a moment and say, "um…okay."
Amidst loud cheers, I lead you towards the dance floor. Clasping your hand gently and putting an arm around your waist, I begin to dance, smiling down at you. Sakura is clapping; Fanren is cheering; Meilin is smiling and Hiiragizawa is watching with great interest.
You smile at me and say, "Li-kun, I'm really happy for Sakura-chan."
"Why?"
"It's because she has someone so wonderful for her husband."
I smile and spin you, watching your lilac orbs light up with great happiness. Perhaps, after Sakura, of course, you were the only woman in the room who would give all the men a run for their money, with your pretty purple dress and your long curly hair.
I had once heard you say something Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, what's it like having an elder brother?" asks Tomoyo, wistfully.
"Well, elder brothers are annoying; they know nothing except irritating their younger sisters, they always call you rude names, always outsmart you in everything, and always prove that they are-" began Sakura but Tomoyo interrupted,
"But still, it must be nice to have someone cares about you and gets anxious and angry when you don't return home on time, right? I mean, it's a very nice feeling to have someone you look up to, protect you."
Today, as I dance with you, I promise you Daidouji-san, that I'll protect you, no matter what.
Even though I'm too shy to say this, I just want you to know that you are my best friend and my sole counselor.
Your Oni-chan will protect you, Daidouji-san. You have my word.
May-be this is a tiny repayment towards the huge service you have rendered me.
There's so much I want to say to you, Daidouji-san. I wonder if I can even put it in words.
I want to thank you for helping me and Sakura fall in love with each other.
I want to thank you for taking care of Meilin.
I want to thank you for taking care of Sakura when I was in Hong Kong.
I want to thank you for being the ever sacrificing friend.
I want to thank you for letting me have Sakura.
I want to thank you for you Daidouji-san.
And the list goes on!
so, did you like it? well, i couldn't help myself...I always thought a brother-sister relationship existed between Syaoran and Tomoyo...actually, the real reason i wrote this fic is 'casue, you see, i don't have an elder brother, but a cousin of mine wad really close to me...but now, since he's taken up higher education, he doesn't seem to have time for me anymore...all he talks of and talks to are his friends or girlfriends...(sigh)...
I'm not annoyed with him or anything, but there was a time he used to answer me only when i called him Syaoran...and he always called me Tomoyo...(hehehe)...we were really close...i want him to read this fic and try to understand something...but hey, before you jump to any conclusions, I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND! i like a guy, not a gal! (blush) oh god, did i just say that aloud?!
i don't like my best friend cause that will make me so weird...00
