Chapter OneCard Captor Sakura
Eternal Happiness

Running
Somewhere in Japan, stood a great mansion, covering yards of wealthy land. Owned by the multimillionaire family, The Kinomoto. Servants bowed high and low worshipfully to whom they served. Two men's laughter was heard in a large room, with cheerfulness as they discussed something rather important and serious…
" Ha, ha, ha, Fujitaka, you flatter me! " The ball-like man laughed. Fujitaka smiled and stroked his little moustache.
" This is true, Xie-Long. You flew all the way from Hong Kong to Japan just for your son's sake. What a grateful father you are… " (AN: Syaoran's father is in this fanfic, alright?)
" Thank you for accepting the marriage proposal from my Shaolan (AN: I don't use Shaolan for Syaoran but you will find out why I'm using this name for this section in the next chapter) to your daughter, Sakura Kinomoto. " Mr. Xie-Long Li thanked. The round man's laughter died away. " But are you sure your daughter will agree on this decision we have now made? "
~~~~~***~~~~~
" WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " The long hallway echoed and vibrated, filled with anger and …resentment.
" Sakura, calm down please… " Fujitaka urged, peacefully.
The pair of green eyes looked even angrier, you could just even see the emerald eyes glow with a tint of red… bitterness, " Calm down? What have you done, father! You accepted an engagement to someone I don't even know or further more… LOVE, without my will and permission!!?? "
Fujitaka shook his head arrogantly but patiently, " Remember, your mother had asked me to look after you and find the perfect new family for you, in her last breath before she died. I am respecting your mother by fulfilling her last wishes! "
Sakura frowned unconvincingly. " Look after me? Find 'the perfect' new family? Is agreeing on a proposal of marriage, as a matter of fact …LIFE and forcing your own daughter to marry someone she is unwilling to, what mother had said is good for me? "
She forced herself to hold back the staining tears that were slowly building up in her emerald eyes. This couldn't be happening!!! Sakura's mind yelled. Fujitaka sighed as he shook his head, again.
" You must marry Shaolan Li! His father is my business partner! I can't reject his son's proposal to you. " He exclaimed, reasoning with his daughter.
Sakura puffed.
" But- "
" No buts! The decision was made and will still stay the same no matter what you say! " Fujitaka bellowed, irritatingly.
Tears escaped from Sakura's deep green eyes as she ran to her room, upstairs as fast as she could.
Fujitaka watched his only daughter cry and run. Then sighed solemnly to himself.
' This is for your own good, I'm sorry my dear Sakura… '~~~~~***~~~~~
The 17-year-old teenage lay on her huge king sized bed, her head dug into her arms, as she lay face down on her pink-coloured bed.
Tears trickled down Sakura's in tentative eyes and onto her petite face. Her tears, endlessly emerging from her pain-struck eyes,… from her paining heart…
Sakura wiped her tears as she tried to forget her father's words, that were repeating and refusing to leave her baffled mind.
* " You must marry Shaolan Li! His father is my business partner! I can't reject his son's proposal to you. " *
*" No buts! The decision was made and will still stay the same no matter what you say! "*Sakura shuddered, as she thought to herself through her raging head.
I am going to be married, married to a stranger… I'm required to marry Shaolan Li… I have no choice. No options…
The tears continuously revolved through her eyes. Thought after thought flicked in and out her brain, trying to think of what she should do.
*KNOCK, KNOCK* *KNOCK, KNOCK*Sakura startled, croaked briskly, " Come-in! "
The door slid open, before a pair of carefree amethyst-blue eyes appeared. The girl was about Sakura's age; she walked in, then closed the large door behind. Her blackish-gray hair swayed as he walked towards Sakura.
" Sakura? " asked a confused but worried voice.
Sakura looked up.
" Tomoyo! Oh my god! " Sakura brightened. " You HAVE to help me! " She pleaded, tears began drying into her pale face.
Tomoyo sat herself down beside Sakura, slowy. " What happened? "
The auburn haired girl wiped her tears away quickly, " You won't believe it! Father is forcing me to marry someone! "
" I'm afraid I can't Sakura help you Sakura, did you forget that I'm only a servant to you? " Tomoyo reminded, her eyes caring.
Sakura half smiled, " But you should know that I treat you like my own sister. "
The servant returned the smile and gave Sakura a hug. Tomoyo all of a sudden retrieved, " Sakura I have only one idea for you to escape this mess. "
" What is it? "
" But I'm afraid that you must lose your family by doing this. " Tomoyo warned.
Sakura hesitated, thoughtfully. " Anything… " She said finally.
" By running away. " Tomoyo said, her blue eyes showed worry, after giving Sakura a bad solution. The only solution.
Sakura gasped silently. " Running away? " She repeated.
But that would mean leaving my faithful father. I know he can be bossy at times, but losing my one and only father? He would be SO… lonely and unhappy… Sakura thought quietly. She turned to her servant, that she treated as her sister.
Sakura stood up in determination, " I…I'll do it! "
Tomoyo smiled then heaved a sigh, suddenly, a light bulb popped in her head, " I know! "
Sakura looked puzzled, " You know what? "
" I can go with you Sakura… just in case. " Tomoyo answered proudly, as if her idea was the best.
" That'll be great! " Sakura grinned.
Tomoyo jumped cheerfully, " let's get packing! We will need a lot of suitcases you know? "
Sakura giggled. Although her mind yelled,
Have I made the right choice? Will this mean sacrificing my father's hope and dreams just for myself? Am I too selfish?
Sakura felt herself tug out of her deep, clouded thoughts and into reality. She found a hand waving in her eyes. " What? "
" Sakura? Are you alright? " Tomoyo asked, in a concerned voice.
" Yeah, I'm fine Tomoyo… " Sakura replied quickly.
Tomoyo raised an eyebrow, " Are you sure? " she asked.
Sakura smiled, " I'm FINE Tomoyo… Now let's quickly get ready before dark. "
" Yes your highness. "
~~~~~***~~~~~
Later…………11:30pm
" All set! " Tomoyo notified.
Sakura responded with a simple, " Kay. "
The two sneaked out of Sakura's room into other tall rooms, which were expensively decorated and past guards that were hired to protect valuables.
A few minutes later they came up to another room. Sakura halted, unexpectedly.
Tomoyo held a confused expression, " What's wrong? "
" I want to say good-bye to father… " Sakura whispered.
Tomoyo sighed, " Okay, I understand. But I'm sorry because you must be quick, the servants and guards will begin roaming the place at midnight, " she explained.
" How do you know? " Sakura asked, as she quietly open the heavy timber doors.
" Duh, Sakura. I'm a servant too! " Tomoyo hissed playfully.
Sakura tiptoed in and closed the door, careful not to make a sound.
" I'll guard the door. If you hear a soft knock, quickly come out. If you hear clicks then hide, because that will mean someone's here, okay? " Tomoyo inquired.
Sakura nodded. The door shut.
Sakura walked towards her father, who was fast asleep. She kneeled down, tears dripped onto the red carpet. " Sorry… father. I know how much the business means to you but I just can't marry someone I don't love… I know I'm selfish. Sorry…father… " Sakura whispered and bowed three times.
Sakura walked closer to her father, and gave him a small peck on his forehead, gently. " Take care…father. I love you…"
Suddenly Sakura heard sounds from the door. It was clicks! Sakura quickly, but quietly hid behind the doors.
The big door slipped open, " Hmm… " Came an inspecting manly voice, his eyes scanning the enormous room, suspectingly.
" I told you there is no one here… " Said another voice. Sakura recognised the voice, it was Tomoyo.
" Yeah, yeah… " Said the male voice again, sounding annoyed. The door swung closed again.
Sakura exhaled in relief. Then heard footsteps thumped away, finally.
" You can come out now, Sakura… " Came Tomoyo's voice through the door, softly.
Sakura opened the door and tiptoed out quickly, " Tomoyo! I thought you said the people come out at mid-night! "
" Sorry, I forgot about that guy, Max. He's too over-protective… " Tomoyo made a face and stuck out her tongue.
Sakura took one last glance at her peacefully snoring father, before closing the door.
" Good-bye… "
