Fighting for Love
By Sakura's Mistress
Chapter one
It was a normal day at the Daidouji- Read Manor when the phone began to ring. A beautiful
young lady, who was just beginning to enjoy the happiness of married life woke up to the noise
and didn't see her beloved husband. Her beautiful black purple hair matched her blue eyes and
her skin was a beautiful color, it resembled the color of a pearl, even without makeup she
looked gorgeous. She decided to pick up the phone, so that she could resume her sleep.
-Damn thing- she said under her breath -I should've unplugged you last night. - Then regaining
her composture she answered -Daidouji-Read manor this is Tomoyo speaking-.
- Tomoyo -a happy voice chirped on the other side of the phone line- He asked me, he finally
asked me! -
-Sakura? It's that you?- asked Tomoyo, who was really surprised by the sound of her
friend's voice
-Tomoyo, I'm so happy. Syaoran finally asked me to marry! I've been waiting all my life
for this- said the voice on the phone line.
-Oh my gosh! - Said a surprised Tomoyo -I can't believe it-. She hadn't regained from her
surprise when she began asking questions- When? How? Why wasn't I there with my camera?
-How about I explain you the details tomorrow when Syaoran and I go and pay you and Eriol a visit? -
-Tomorrow? Why not now?- Asked Tomoyo who was now about to lose her patience
-It has to be tomorrow because tonight Syaoran is gonna ask father for my hand in marriage-
answered the voice on the phone line
-That's so kawaii, Sakura, how about we have a picnic tomorrow? - Said Tomoyo
-I love the idea- said the voice on the phone line- see you later then-
-Bye- said Tomoyo and hanged up.
Tomoyo Hiraguizawa was ecstatic when she went to look for her husband. She was still in her
nightgown when she decided to change and look for him to tell him the happy news.
- He won't believe it - She said under her breath.
Eriol was preparing breakfast, when suddenly he saw his wife with her victory smile
-Sakura called- She said
-Yes? And what did she tell you? - He turned his gaze away from the frying eggs and
bacon in the pan to look at her. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a tight t- shirt
that made her body look greater than it already was. He still couldn't believe he was
married to the sweetest girl on the face of the planet and that she was in love with
him. Her long, black hair that smelled like lavender, and her blue eyes were enough
to make him forget breakfast.
-Nothing important, really- she answered in a peculiar way as to make him know she
wasn't telling the truth. How she loved Eriol she could get lost in his blue eyes,
which were even nicer without his glasses, and his hair was so soft, so beautiful...
he was so handsome... he was hers and she was his
-Really? Then tell me, why do I believe that there's something more beneath that sly smile? -
He asked her looking into those eyes that made him lose all control
-Maybe because I haven't told you everything, my dear husband- She said getting closer,
beginning a long embrace. Whatever effect she had on Eriol was the same on her. Just getting
close to him was enough to wish that time could stop there and she could get lost in his smell,
in his voice, in everything that had to do with him
-So? Are you going to tell me or do I have to tickle you to get it off of you, Miss Tomoyo? -He
said beginning to tickle his wife who began to laugh uncontrollably
-Ok, Ok, I'll tell you- she said beginning to control her laughter- Sakura and Li are coming
over tomorrow to have a picnic with us because...- She turned to the frying pan and saw the
eggs and bacon burning. Calmly and in the same tone of voice she turned to see his face and
said- ...you're burning our breakfast
Surprised by this, Eriol just turned to ask her -They're coming over because I'm burning our
breakfast? -Then he noticed the burning breakfast - Oops- he turned down the fire -Sorry, But
I guess today we'll have burnt bacon and eggs for breakfast- he resumed the hug and asked -
Sakura and my relative are coming over to have a picnic with us because...? -
-Because...- Said Tomoyo- ...Li finally asked Sakura to get married!
-What? - Said a surprised Eriol- When? How?
-That's why I invited Sakura over, so she can explain- she got out of the embrace- Now how
about I help you with Breakfast?
-Yeah, sweetheart, that would be lovely- He said and then gave her a sweet kiss on the lips-
I have to go to the office for a minute and get some papers. Will you wait for me? -
-Of course- and in a funny tone she said- with the not-so-cooked-breakfast version-
He laughed while he was near her, but when he was in the office his laughter turned into a
deep frown...
-I guess I'll have to help Sakura and Syaoran again, this time the enemy is stronger-
In the Kinomoto residence a woman was just hanging up the phone when suddenly...
-Hoe! I forgot! I have to prepare a nice dinner for dad, and Touya, but first ...- she went
to the kitchen and opened the fridge- I have to give Kero-chan his food-.
Sakura Kinomoto was dancing on air as she remembered what had happened to her the night before-
...Syaoran...-
~ Flashback ~
She had gone out with Syaoran for dinner last night. She got dressed in formal attire because
Syaoran said they were going to a very fancy restaurant. She had one of the dresses that
were designed for her by Tomoyo. It was a beautiful Green dress, which accentuated her
curves and made her look really beautiful. When Syaoran went to her house to look for her,
she knew he was speechless.
-Hi Syao-kun- said Sakura welcoming her boyfriend and giving him a loving kiss on the cheek.
-Sa...Sakura, y-you look beautiful- he stuttered.
Sakura noticed that Syaoran looked really handsome in his tuxedo- and you look really
handsome- said a blushing Sakura- Shall we go now?
After saying goodbye to her dad and her brother Touya (who wasn't very pleased with her date)
Sakura and Syaoran headed out to the restaurant.
It had been already 30 minutes since the dinner had started and none of them had
said a word all night. Sakura saw that Syaoran was really nervous and blushed frequently,
She was scared that Syaoran was catching a cold
-Syao-kun, Is something wrong? Are you feeling sick? - She asked
-N-No, Sakura it's just that...- He got a hold of her free hand and put it between his
-I want to ask you a question...-
-Yes...- Sakura was getting a bit scared. Those last few days Syaoran had been acting really
weird, more than usual towards her. She wasn't scared of that but she thought that maybe
Syaoran had been getting... "Tired" of her. After all it had been more than eleven years
since they were a couple, counting the two years he had spend in Hong Kong. All through
High school and College there had not been any one but Syaoran for her and vice versa,
they both tried, but nobody had what they had together. She took a deep breath, put down
her chopsticks and looked at his eyes... the eyes were she could easily get lost and
said- ...Syaoran? You can ask me anything you want-
When Syaoran saw her eyes he got all the courage he needed to ask her- Sakura I've know
you for a long time, not to say forever and... I love you so much you just don't imagine...
I would go to the ends of the world for you...- he said
When she heard the words " I love you" all her fears dissipated but she was more clueless
than before - If he's not gonna leave me, then... What's wrong? - She thought
-Sakura...- Then Syaoran reached for his pocket taking a little pink box out of it. After
taking a deep breath he asked the dreaded question- would you marry me?
Sakura was in shock. She had waited many years for that question ever since she graduated
from College. She had imagined the moment and it never could get as romantic as this. With
tears of joy she answered- Yes, Syaoran - Kun, I'll marry you I want to be with you forever
and ever- and she just hugged him and kissed him
~End of flashback~
A yawn was heard on the other side of the living room - Sakura, it's that you? - Asked a
sleepy voice
-Yes, Kero-Chan-
-Good Morning Sakura- Then in the kitchen door a little flying... creature that resembled a
teddy bear appeared- I'm so sleepy, I was waiting all night for you I thought you were gonna
be home at ten. I waited 'till 11 o'clock- then in a more concerned voice he asked -where
were you? -
Sakura had turned into a beautiful woman. Her hair was longer and it reached to her shoulders
and it still held a golden honey color that she had when she was a little girl, it resembled
her father's and her green eyes, from her mother's side still had that innocent glimmer. She
had a lovely blush in her cheeks that made her look like a kid, but in that innocence was a
strong independent woman. Her body was really beautiful, she still worked as a model sometimes
for her friend Tomoyo thought she didn't need to, since she was working as an accountant in a
big company in Tokyo, all thanks to her dear Syaoran.
-Kero, I was at Syaoran's till 12 o clock and got home at 12:30- She said calmly while
making pancakes for Kero's breakfast
-What? Are you crazy? Your brother is SO gonna kill you- said an angry Kero- That Gaki is
gonna pay!!!!
-No he's not! - She said putting a plate of pancakes in front of the winged creature
- besides I had a reason to stay!!
- Yeah? And what's that? - He asked in a challenging way that made Sakura want to kill him
-This one- She said showing the ring at Kero- Chan's face, which made him almost choke
on his food. - Last night Syaoran asked me to marry him and I said yes. - She got a chair
and sat down- Tonight he's gonna ask Dad for my hand in marriage-
-What? - Said a surprised Kero- Do you want Touya to kill him? I mean, your father likes him,
but... Touya, you know what he thinks about that Gaki!!!!
-Well, he's gonna have to like him, because I plan to be Mrs. Li Xiaolang- She got from
the chair and picked up Kero's plate- Hmm... I still have to prepare Dad...
Syaoran couldn't believe that his dream was gonna come true "He" was gonna get married
to "her" at last... Then the phone woke him up
-Umm, wonder what time it is? - He then saw the clock that was in his night table
reading that it was 20 minutes to twelve when he decided to wake up- Thank Heavens
it Sunday- he thought- I'm so tired, but it was worth it- he then remembered Sakura's
face when she said yes.
The phone began ringing again and then he remembered that Wei wasn't staying with him
anymore, he got up the bed and went to pick up the phone.
-Hello- he answered dryly
-Hi son, how are you? - Said the other voice on the phone line
-Mom, It's that you? - Asked Syaoran happily
-Yes son, it's me. Your sisters and I were wondering, How was everything- She said
with an undertone that made Syaoran realize what was she talking about
-She said yes- Answered Syaoran wile a blush spread in his face. On the other side of
the line he could hear his sisters cheering for his happiness.
-I'm so glad for you my son, but you know what that means- then in a more serious
tone she said- As part of the Li Clan you have to get married with someone who the
elders shall choose for you, But since you are the head of the Clan you can choose your wife but you have to present her to the elders, that means...-
-...Bring her to Hong Kong- Completed Li
-That's right- then returning to her happy voice she said- so... when are you coming back? -
-As soon as I ask her father for her hand and talk to her about going to Hong Kong
In the Kinomoto residence, Sakura was getting everything ready for that evening
-I still haven't talked to dad... Or to Touya (sigh) and that's gonna be tough-
In that moment Fujitaka entered with his always-happy smile
-Hello Sakura, How was your day? - He then smelled the scent of food- I can see that you've
been busy
Then the door opened again- Hello I'm home- said a young man that entered the house
-Hi Touya- said Sakura- I'm glad you came today again... - then in a funny tone she
asked -Did Yukito kick you out of the apartment?
-Hello monster, I just came for a while- Said Touya using the pet name he reserved
only for Sakura. When she was small it bothered her that he called her that but since
Onnichan and Yukito had moved into their apartment she didn't get the chance to see him
as much as she used to. So whenever she heard that pet name she got this happy feeling
inside her.
-Good that you came thought- Said Fujitaka- Then he turned around and not finding
his son's friend he asked- where's Yukito? -
Sakura got scared. She hadn't cook enough for Yukito's stomach.
-He got a little sleepy. He had an exam today so he was all night studying and
couldn't sleep so I left him sleeping while I came here. -
Sakura sighed with relief, but she wouldn't let this opportunity pass her.
-Dad, Touya, I've got to talk with you and it's really important-
In Hong Kong, In the Li Manor, everyone was getting ready for the big event since by now
everybody already knew the happy news. The news had passed through the whole compound like
fire through dry grass
-I'm so happy our little brother is gonna get married- Said one girl who looked a lot like
Syaoran- But most of all I'm so happy to meet his fiancé
-Yeah me too Fuutie! - Said three other girls answering to the first. After you could hear
the giggles. They all looked like feminine versions of Syaoran
-What's all the fuss? - Asked a young woman who just happened to be in the way of the girls
Li Fuutie was the eldest sister of Syaoran, yet she as a woman couldn't be the head of the Li
Clan. She had the strength of her mother who she admired. After her dad died her mother had
taken all the Li clan behind her, just because Syaoran was too young to. But even when Syaoran
was big enough to take care of the family, he left for Japan to find the love of his life,
so her mother had to keep her place as head of the Li Clan for seven years more... but now
it was gonna be over at last.
-Meiling, where were you- Asked Fuutie
Li Meiling hadn't changed a lot from when she was a kid. Yes she had grown up into a
beautiful lady, but she still had that wretched manner in her. She couldn't be quiet
for more than two minutes unless one of the elders, her parents or Fuutie's mother was
in front of her. So Fuutie was scared of how she would receive the news that Syaoran was
coming back... With his new fiancé.
-I was helping mom with some things she wanted to bring over- Then in her not-so-normal-tone
she asked- what is happening here? I want to know
-Li is coming back... For good now- answered Fuutie who watched all her sister go,
leaving her alone with Meiling. She could see in the eyes of the girl how glad she
was of receiving the news
-Syaoran is coming back? - Said Meiling. Her face was illuminated by a beautiful smile,
while she thought that if Syaoran was coming to stay... it meant he had finished
whatever he had to do in Japan. He was returning to Hong Kong... returning to her.
-Yes, he is, so you better hurry and begin fixing everything- Said Fuutie- Mom wants
the house just as it was before he left. Besides we are having a ceremony as soon as
he gets here.
This statement got Meiling out of her bubble- a ceremony? For what? -
- An engagement ceremony- Then Fuutie left and continued her work. She knew exactly what
Meiling would think, but she was gonna leave the explaining to her mother, She didn't
have any patience with that girl.
This left Meiling really happy- They're gonna engage us, and this time is for real
not as when we were kids- and she left running to her house she had many things to do now.
-WHAT? - Said an angry Touya
-Syaoran asked me to marry and I said yes- answered Sakura- I'm gonna be Mrs. Li Xiaolang
-OVER MY DEAD BODY YOU WILL!!! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET MARRIED TO THAT BRAT AND HE
IS NOT GONNA ASK DAD FOR YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE!!! - Said Touya to Sakura. It was really
weird how some things never changed. He could go and live with Yukito, but Sakura couldn't
get married to Syaoran.
-DAD, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING- Said Touya who was getting angrier by the minute as his father
was just sited there with a happy smile on his face.
- I'm so happy for you, Sakura. I always knew you would stay with Li- Then looking
at Touya he added- it's time you have your own family my dear-
-Thank you dad, I knew you would understand- Then turning to Touya, with watery eyes
she said- You know I've always been in love with Syaoran, I'm gonna be so happy if he
stays by my side forever. I love you Onnichan, but this is my decision and...- Then
beginning to sob she asked- why can't you be happy for me? I lost Syaoran once when
he went to Hong Kong for two years and I was unhappy. If you were separated from Yukito,
how would you feel? - And she began crying inconsolably.
Touya then understood her sister. He never liked to see her cry. He understood her feelings
and yet, he didn't like to think that his imouto had grown into a beautiful woman. She was
right, whenever Syaoran was away she wouldn't be her genki self. When she was younger, she
would lock herself in her room and wouldn't come out until she heard the telephone and spoke
to him. And when she did he would see that her eyes were red from crying. She would continue
with her life afterwards, but the glow was gone until he came back. In a kind of way he knew
that Sakura and The gaki made an excellent couple. And besides he had made her suffer before,
he had taken the person she loved the most when she was a kid and she suffered for a long
time, but she moved out of his way so that he and Yukito could be happy, and she would do
it again if asked to... So, why couldn't he?
-Please Onnichan- said Sakura- I love Syaoran, but if you don't want me to get married
to him- then biting her lips and drowning her sobs she said- then I won't.
So, there she did it again. Throwing away her own happiness for the sake of others. But
this time he was going to do things different.
-No Sakura, I won't get in your way- Said Touya- You say you'll be happy with that gaki,
then I won't get it your way. - Then in a voice that told Sakura he wasn't mad he told
her- Congratulations.
Sakura stopped crying and looked at her brother. He wasn't mad, he was smiling. She then
started to smile- Onnichan...
She went and hugged him and said- Thanks Onnichan, I really wanted to hear that-
Then retaking his big brother stance he warned her- But if he makes you suffer you know
what will happen to him- Then more softly he said- I love you you're my only Imouto and
I will go to the ends of the world for you-
They held in a long embrace that lasted a long time.
-I can't take it anymore! I want to see Sakura! - screamed Tomoyo
-Tomoyo, calm down! You have to take it easy- Said Eriol who was as nervous as Tomoyo- Besides
she's having lunch with us tomorrow
-No I can't wait anymore, I'm going to her house and grab the wonderful moment when Syaoran
asks Fujitaka-San for Sakura-Chan's hand- She then grabbed her coat and raced outside
the house.
-Tomoyo, wait for me- Eriol grabbed his coat too and went after her
When they reached their living room they ran into Nakuru and Spinel Sun
-Hi, guys where are you going?- asked Nakuru
-Over to Sakura-Chan's. Syaoran is gonna ask Fujitaka- Sensei for her hand- Said an
overexcited Tomoyo
That made Nakuru wild- He is? Oh my God, Can I go with you guys? Please I want to see Touya's
face when he gets the news
- Of course Nakuru, you can come- Said Tomoyo- I'm gonna help Sakura cook and any
hand is gonna help
-If Nakuru goes, I'll go- said Suppi
-Of course, Suppi-Chan- You'll distract Kero while we cook, ok?
So, while Eriol was driving, Tomoyo fixed her camera and Nakuru and Suppi were... being
Nakuru and Suppi.
So... How about it? I promise the next chapters are gonna be action packed but for now
enjoy this one. Since you got to this point, Why don't you review? I would really
be happy if you did
