"Ara! Congratulations Sakura-chan or should I say MRS. Sakura Kinomoto Li!!!" The purple haired girl exclaimed.
Sakura's face flushed, "Hooeee..."
The day was perfect for the occasion. The cherry blossom trees were in full blossom outside the church. The wind wasn't as strong as it normally is during the spring.
The church was decorated with pink cherry blossoms, peonies, and silver ribbons tied to every third chair, little white rose petals on the carpet were left after the wedding, and some lights were still up.
Sakura and Tomoyo were in the dressing room, changing into different clothes for the reception. Chiharu, Naoko, Rita, Meiling, Feimei, Fuutie, Fanren, Shiefa, and even Yelan was there.
Syaoran, Eriol, Yamazaki, Terada-sensei, Touya, Fujitaka, Chang Tsan (Fuutie's husband), Yinh Fu (Fanren's husband), and Tieu Long (Shiefa's husband) were in the other room.
(A/N: Feimei's not married)
*men's dressing room*
Yamazaki said, "Yinh, you know that smoking is not allowed in here."
Yinh grumbled something and threw the cigarette away.
Tieu walked over to Syaoran, smiling. He pats Syaoran on the back and said, "Best wishes for you."
Syaoran smiled, "Arigatou, but Eriol should be the one happy. Next month, he's marrying Tomoyo."
Eriol's face flushed.
Chang grinned, "Yeah, Hiirgizawa."
Touya grumbled, "That Chinese gaki BETTER take care of the kaijuu, or else..."
Syaoran looked at Touya, "I heard that, and I will...*take deep breath* O-Oni-chan."
Touya fumed but Fujitaka touched his shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
*other room*
Sakura, still wearing her dress, looked at the mirror. Her long auburn hair was tied up into a French twist with some pearls in her hair. The dress, made by Tomoyo, was simple, yet elegant. The veil, translucent, was lined with pearls and tiny sequins. The dress was long sleeved, but was translucent from her shoulders to her hands. The upper neck part was also translucent, but the rest was white silk. It hugged her waist, showing her strong body, and flowed out into a gown.
The maids and the maid of honor wore pink dresses with little cherry blossom leaves on the bottom.
Sakura looked at her right hand, ring finger. A simple gold ring was wrapped around her finger. Sakura sighed. She still couldn't believe it. It seemed all like a dream.
"Sakura?" A voice called.
Sakura looked at the Chinese woman standing near her. Sakura smiled, "Yes, Mrs. Li?"
Yelan smiled, "You can call me mother."
"M-Mother...um...What did you call me for?"
Yelan held out a red traditional dress. "Women normally wear this at the reception after their wedding..."
Sakura smiled, she understood. "Arigato." Sakura took the dress.
*reception*
Syaoran was still in his black tux, with peonies and cherry blossoms in his pocket. Sakura and Syaoran walked to each table, talking and thanking the guests for coming to their wedding.
When it was time to dance, Tomoyo took the microphone and said, "Syaoran?"
Syaoran looked up, "Hai?"
"Sakura has a little surprise for you before your first dance."
Syaoran smiled at Sakura, letting her go up the stage.
Sakura took the mic and said, "Shao-kun, ashiteru...forever. Let our love forever be strong."
Eriol sat down by the piano and started playing.

Everybody clapped as Syaoran walked up to Sakura and kissed her. The song continued with Tomoyo singing and everybody watched as Sakura and Syaoran danced.
*two hours later*
Syaoran placed his right hand on Sakura's right hand as they cut the large vanilla cake. Sakura closed her eyes as Syaoran took a piece of the cake and feed Sakura, but instead, he put most of the cake on her mouth not in. Sakura wiped it off, taking a handful of cake from their plate and returning the favor. Syaoran and Sakura laughed at each other and sealed it with a kiss.
Sakura and Syaoran went to each table to pass out the cake. They stopped at one particular table. It was where the Fu family (two brothers and a sister) was sitting with some other people. The Fu family had been friends with the Li family for many years.
Sakura took the plate from Syaoran and place it next to a Chinese girl. She was wearing a purple dress, matching her purple hair, but she had brown eyes. The Chinese girl smile fakely.
(A/N: da chinese girl iz da same age as sakura)
The girl said, "Syaoran-kun, where's your honeymoon going to be?" She blinked cutely.
Syaoran smiled at Sakura. The girl steamed seeing Syaoran smile at Sakura. "We're going back to Japan for our honeymoon, Linh."
"Oh...YINH!!! er...*clears throat* stop smoking. Do you remember what mother said before she died?!" Linh said, remembering that Syaoran was there.
Yinh grabbed his coat and said, "Fine! I'm going outside!"
(A/N: poor fanren...married 2 a guy lyke him...)
"Please forgive my big brother. He's not himself today." Linh said, smiling.
Syaoran took another plate and placed it next to Linh's other big brother, Wen Fu. He was wearing general clothes because obviously...he's the general of China's soldiers.
Before Syaoran and Sakura got to the next table, Linh stopped them and said cutely, "You must be tired Syaoran-kun, let me help you."
"Er...ok...ay." Syaoran said, letting Linh make him sit down in her seat.
Linh smiled fakely, "Why don't I help you Kinomoto?" Linh stood next to Sakura.
Sakura smiled, "Okay...demo..."
Chiharu and Yamazaki walked over to the table. Yamazaki started, "Back then, the old wedding tradition was that..."
"Yamazaki..." Chiharu growled.
Yamazaki was quiet quickly.
Syaoran stood back up, forgetting what Linh said, and put his arm around Sakura's waist, "Come on, we gotta finish with the cake, Sakura-chan."
"Hai." Sakura said, giggling a little.
Linh sat back down, frowning.
Wen asked, "What's the matter Linh?"
"Nothing." Linh said, frowning more.
"Don't tell me you still like him." Wen said, frowning at his little sister.
Linh shook her head, "I-I don't like him." =...I love him...=
Wen picked up his fork, "Okay, whatever you say."
Linh thought =Syaoran would have married me if that bitch Kinomoto didn't show up. He could have become rich again. Everybody knows that when his father died last month, the Li clan became sort of poor. Instead, he marries that poor peasant girl. What does he see in her?= Linh closed her hand in a fist and thought =I get back at that bitch for stealing Syaoran-kun away from me.=
*after the reception*
Everybody crowded by the door to wave goodbye to the newly wed.
Sakura and Syaoran turned around for the last time to wave goodbye to their family and guests. Then they got into the car and drove off.
*in the car*
Syaoran had his arm around Sakura, and Sakura was leaning on Syaoran. Wei looked in the mirror and smiled at his master.
Sakura looked up at Syaoran and said, "Ashiteru...Shao-kun."
"Ashiteru Sakura." Syaoran said, hugging Sakura.
Sakura leaned back on Syaoran and started singing out of nowhere.
(A/N: lol...dat dont sound rite...but okie. ^-^)
Syaoran loved listening to Sakura's beautiful, angelic voice, so he sat back.
=Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart,
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain,
Melodies of life - love's lost refrain.
Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.
So far and away, see the birds as it flies by.
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on.
If I should leave this lonely world behind,
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of life,
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.=
Syaoran asked, "Remind me again why is that your favorite song?"
Sakura closed her eyes, "Because it reminds me to never give up on love."
Syaoran kissed Sakura head, "Arigato."
Sakura looked up into Syaoran's amber eyes, "For what?"
"Arigato for everything you did."
They both said, "Ashiteru..."
*one and a half year later*
Monday...
"KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The ladies crowded around the blushing woman.
"Hi baby..." One said, putting her ear near the woman's tummy.
"Is it a boy or girl?"
"What are you going to name the baby?"
A young amber eyed man rush quickly over to his wife and held her hands, smiling. Speechless, he kissed her on the lips and hugged her.
"Awwww...kawaii." The ladies said.
Everybody had recently heard the wonderful news of the pregnancy of Sakura and Syaoran Li. Tomoyo, Feimei, Fuutie, Shiefa, and Fanren crowded around Sakura.
Yelan, and her son-in-laws walked into the room to check on Sakura.
Yelan took Sakura's hand and got her away from the other people. "She needs her rest."
Everybody, except Syaoran and Tomoyo left the room.
Syaoran helped Sakura on the bed.
Sakura smiled, "You don't need to help me, Shao-kun."
"You need your strength, Sakura-chan." Syaoran said, smiling.
Tomoyo said, "I'll get some food for you, Sakura-chan."
Sakura nodded her head.
Meanwhile...
"NANI!?!?!?! The BITCH is PREGNANT?!?!" Linh screamed.
Yinh smiled in excitement and nodded his head. "Isn't that wonde-"
Linh gave him a cold look and immediately Yinh understood.
"Not only did she married Syaoran-kun, she having HIS baby!!!!!" Linh yelled.
Wen came from his room and rush into the living room, "What's wrong Linh? Why are you screaming?"
Yinh exclaimed, "Syaoran and Sakura are having a baby!"
Linh glared at her brother again.
Wen said, "So? What's to be angry about, Linh? You already said you got over Li-kun."
Linh cooled down. She grabbed her purse and headed toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Yinh ask.
"I need you to drive me over to the Li residence." Linh said, smiling fakely.
Yinh scratched his head, "O...kay."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*knock* *knock*
Syaoran said, "Come in, the door's not lock."
Linh came in smiling cutely for Syaoran.
"Linh! What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked, surprised.
"Well, I heard the news from my brother and decided to pay a visit." Linh said cutely.
Linh pulled up a chair and sat next to Syaoran.
Sakura said, "That's so nice of you."
Linh smiled fakely, "Thank you." Linh looked at Syaoran, "Do we know if it's a boy or girl, yet?"
Syaoran said, "We want it to be a surprise."
"Aww...how sweet." Linh said.
Linh quickly added, "You know, Kino-er Sakura-chan should get her rest. Maybe we should leave her alone for awhile."
Syaoran asked Sakura, "Is that okay with you?"
Sakura smiled, "It's okay."
"Okay." Syaoran gave a quick kiss on Sakura's cheek and walked out the room with Linh.
*living room*
"Syaoran, I'm having a birthday party coming up soon and I was wondering if you could come." Linh asked, smiling.
"I can't. Sakura pregnant and she needs me." Syaoran said, shaking his head.
Linh said innocently, "It's only for ONE day, Syaoran-kun. Please?"
"I'll answer you later."
*cell phone music plays*
Linh said, "Oh! That's for me. Hold up."
"Okay." Syaoran said.
"Hello? What? Uh huh. No, don't do that! Okay! Okay, I'm coming over. Bye."
Linh frowned as she put her cell phone in her purse. Linh stood up.
"You gotta go?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah, they need help at the office."
"Oh, okay. I'll walk you to the door." Syaoran said, walking to the door.
(A/N: well, i want Syaoran to be nice. coldness just doesn't suit him.)
Syaoran opened the door for Linh. Linh smiled and said, "Thank you. Ja ne."
"Ja ne." Syaoran said, waving.
*S+S bedroom*
Syaoran walked back to his room and sat next to Sakura.
"How are you?"
Sakura smiled, "I'm fine. I didn't know that everybody cared for me so much."
"That's because everybody loves you so much." Syaoran said, smiling.
"Did Linh leave already?"
Syaoran answered, "Yeah, she had some problems at the office."
"Oh."
"Sakura?"
"Hai?"
"Linh invited me to her birthday party and-"
Sakura smiled, "Hai."
"Nani?"
"You deserve a break. You work a lot and do so much for your family. You deserve it."
"Arigato Sakura." Syaoran said, kissing Sakura.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Fu residence*
Linh sat on her bed, holding a picture of her and Syaoran. It was when they were young.
Linh hugged the picture, "If only..."
A servant knocked on the door, saying, "Lunch time, Miss Fu."
"Yes, I know. I'm coming."
Linh quickly hid the picture in her drawer and walked downstairs to the dining room.
After lunch, Linh went to the music room to practice her piano skills.
Linh sat on the bench, thinking about Syaoran and frowned when a picture of Sakura and Syaoran together popped in her head.
Linh started playing whatever came to her mind, which was "First Love."
After she finished playing "Suteki da ne," she received a call on her cell phone.
"Hello? Oh! Syaoran-kun! Hi! Really? Okay! This Saturday, 7:00 P.M. at my house. Okay! Ja ne!"
Linh held her cell phone near her heart. =And so it begins...=
*next day*
Fanren frowned at her husband. "Yinh, please, stop smoking."
Yinh asked, "WHY?!"
"It's bad for your health. Please promise you that you'll quit."
Yinh crossed his arms. Fanren and Yinh were in their bedroom. Fanren was sitting by the table, and Yinh was standing a couple inches away from his wife.
"Please?" Fanren stood up and put her hands on Yinh's shoulders.
Yinh frowned and said, "FINE!" He threw the cigarette in the trash can.
Fanren smiled and hugged him, "Thank you."
*S+S bedroom*
Sakura got up slowly, walking over to Syaoran.
"Promise me you'll come back soon." Sakura said, putting her arms around Syaoran's waist and resting her head on his back.
Syaoran turned around and said, "Sakura-chan, don't worry. It's only going to be a day. I'll leave this afternoon and come back Thursday morning, okay? Ever since Father died, the family company has been having some problem, so I have to fix them."
Sakura said, "...okay."
Syaoran said, "Arigato." Then he went back to packing some business papers.
*living room*
"Chang, what did you do THIS time?" Fuutie said, putting her hands on her hip.
"..."
Fuutie frowned, "You were gambling AGAIN, huh?"
Chang turned his back to his wife.
"And you need some money to pay back the men , right?"
"..."
"Chang!"
Chang mumbled, "Yeah..."
Fuutie said, "How many times I told you not to gamble? If you can't control it, then don't do it!"
Chang quickly said, "If you just help me out just this one time, I PROMISE I'll never do it again."
Fuutie asked, still angry, "Promise?"
"I promise!" Chang said, quickly.
"Alright, how much do you own?"
"Um..."
"Chang?"
Chang mumbled, "$1,500"
"$1,500! Chang, you know we're not that rich. You better be glad that you have nice sister-in-laws!" Fuutie said, frowning more.
Sakura, Wei, and Syaoran past by Fuutie and Chang, on their way to the train.
Fuutie took Chang's arm and pulled him along to borrow some money from her sisters.
*train station*
Sakura held onto Syaoran, not letting him go.
Syaoran smiled, "Honey, it's not like I'm leaving forever."
"It feels like it." Sakura said, holding on tighter.
"Sakura, the sooner I leave, the sooner I get back, okay?"
Sakura made a face, "Hmmm...okay!"
Syaoran gave Sakura a little piece of paper, "Here, this will be the hotel and the room where I'll be staying at. You can call me anytime, okay?"
"Hai." Sakura said.
Wei gave Syaoran his suitcase, but before Syaoran turned to leave, they heard a voice calling, "SYAORAN!"
(A/N: guess who...)
Sakura and Syaoran turned around, "Linh?"
Linh panted, "Am I late for the train?"
Syaoran replied, "N-No. What are you doing?"
Linh smiled, "Oh, don't WORRY, I'm JUST visiting a friend."
"Calling all passengers. Train 36-B is now boarding." A voice on the intercom said.
Syaoran hugged Sakura, "Ja ne, Sakura-chan."
"Ja ne."
Linh glared at Sakura and then smiled when Syaoran turned to her.
"Let's go." Syaoran said, letting Linh go first.
*train*
Linh gaze over at Syaoran, who was sitting next to her, and thought =It's nice to have a big brother who's married to one of the Li sisters. Then I can know what's going on with Syaoran. One day, Syaoran, you will be mine...=
*back at Li residence*
A man with short red hair sneaked up on a woman and covered her eyes.
The man asked, "Guess who?"
"Syaoran?" The woman asked.
The man uncovered her eyes, "No."
Shiefa turned around, "Tieu-kun..."
Fuutie ran up to her big sister and called, "Hey, Shiefa!!!"
Shiefa and her husband turned around seeing Fuutie and Chang Tsan.
Shiefa smiled, "Fuutie! Did Syaoran leave already?"
Fuutie answered, "Yeah."
"Awww...I didn't get to say goodbye to him."
"Don't worry, he'll come back." Fuutie said, smiling.
Chang sheepishly played around in the flowers, facing his back towards them.
Shiefa looked at Chang and then at Fuutie, she whispered, "Husband problems again?"
Fuutie frowned and nodded her head, "Yeah."
"Chang?" Tieu called. "If you want something, then come over here and ask. Maybe we can help."
"..."
"Chang, they're willing to help. Now come over here and ask them NICELY."
Chang walked over to Shiefa, "..."
"Gamble problems?" Shiefa asked.
Chang nodded his head slowly.
Fuutie frowned, "Chang, don't make this a guessing game." =Ugh...why did I marry such a stubborn man?=
Tieu sighed, "How much do you owe?"
"$1,500" Chang answered.
Tieu took out his wallet and wrote a check for Chang, "Here."
Chang took the check, smiling, "Thank you!" Chang ran off to the car.
The three of them shook their head.
Fuutie said, "I wish I could just divorce him easily."
"You know what Mother will say."
"Yeah. 'What will the town think. Don't make a bad reputation for the family.'" Fuutie said, sighing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran checked into a hotel and got a room. He put his suitcase on the table and sat in his chair.
Syaoran sighed, thinking about Sakura, his family, and the company.
*knock* *knock*
Syaoran got up and opened the door.
Linh was standing there, holding her head.
"What's the matter, Linh?" Syaoran said, letting her in.
Linh said, "I have a terrible headache and I ran out of aspirins. Could you run to the store and get them for me? My head hurts really bad."
"Um...okay." Syaoran said.
Linh wrote something on paper and gave it to Syaoran, "Here, this is the medicine."
"Okay." Syaoran said, getting his wallet and leaving the room. "Stay here until I get back."
Linh smiled innocently, "Okay."
*S+S bedroom*
"Here's your soup, Miss Sakura." The servant said, putting a bowl of hot soup on the table.
Sakura smiled, "Thank you."
When the servant left the room, Sakura took out the paper that Syaoran gave her and decided to call him.
*ring* *ring*
Linh smiled as she picked up the hotel phone.
"Hello?" Linh said sweetly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I must have called the wrong room."
Linh smiled more, knowing that it's Sakura =Perfect.= "Oh no, don't hang up. You're calling for Syaoran, right?"
"Yeah...Linh? What are you doing in Syaoran's room? Is he there?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Syaoran's in the SHOWER right now."
Sakura said, "Oh, could you tell him to call as soon as he gets out?"
"Okay. Is there anything else?" Linh asked sweetly.
"No, that's all. I just wanted to call to tell him that's all-"
"Oh, there he is! *giggles* Syaoran! Put your towel on! Don't you know that your WIFE is on the other line?"
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I-I gotta go-I mean I have to hang up."
Linh hung up the phone, smiling.
*A half hour later*
Syaoran got back and put the bag in Linh's hand. "Here you go. Did Sakura call?"
"Nope." Linh said, taking the bag and smiling innocently.
"...okay. Good night." Syaoran said, showing her to the door.
"Good night." Linh said, leaving.
A/N: so? wat did u think? wuz it good or bad?
