Chapter One: May I have thee, pree?



The moon was appearing in the pink colour sky. Fireflies danced in the grass and around our love struck couple. Sakura struggled upto Syaoran, his heartbeat was strangely normal, no panicking. Sakura felt so peaceful and Syaoran just looked out to the skies. He realized it was time.

"Sakura" Syaoran begun, Sakura lifted her head to look at him and said nothing. "Sakura, I really do love you".

Sakura smiled and snuggled her noes to his and smiled, "I know you do, you tell me everyday. I love you too Syaoran, never have I been happier then in the years I've spent with you. I love Syaoran. My number one" Sakura said looking into his beautiful eyes.

"Well, I have to ask you something" Syaoran said, he suddenly started to worry of the answer. "Sakura, I love you, and please do me the greatest honor you can and become my wife?" Syaoran said looking out to the flowery hills.

Sakura smiled and placed her hand on his face, Syaoran's face was turned to face hers and Sakura looked him in the eyes. She brought her face to his and pressed her lips onto his. She wrapped her arms round his neck and pulled his in deeper. They wrapped their arms round each other and kissed more.

Finally Syaoran broke away, Sakura just looked at him and waited for him to catch his breath.

"That was nice but it didn't answer my question" Syaoran said touching his lips. Sakura then put her hands in each other his, and smiled.

"Nothing would make me happier" Sakura said almost in tears, "Then to marry the man I love. I want to marry you, be yours forever and I want to spend the rest of life with you, carry your children. I love you" Sakura said in tears facing Syaoran's way. Syaoran reached into his pocket and brought out his hankichef.

He brought it out and dried her tears, Sakura looked at his smile and threw her arms and sobbed 'I love you', and 'I love you so much I want to cry'. Syaoran pulled her up against him and rocked her from side to side slowly. Sakura felt warm inside and she thought about her and Syaoran life together.

"Syaoran, I do want to marry and I will marry you" Sakura said as he rocked her slowly from side to side, "I love so much, I want marry you".

Syaoran couldn't help but smile, he felt Sakura grip tighten round his waist and admittedly felt a bit uncomfortable from her nose sticking into his chest. He pulled her up to face him again, Sakura was still in tears of happiness.

"Sakura calm down" Syaoran said with a smile, he then kissed her noes and once again asked, "Will you marry me?"

Sakura started to panic up again, "Yes, of course I will... I" Syaoran cut her off by placing his finger on her lips to 'Shh' her. Sakura took the hand and caressed it. "I will" Sakura repeated, "I will, I will, I will"

Syaoran and Sakura put their arms round each other again, engaged to each other. Sakura felt she must be the luckiest girl in the World to be marring Syaoran Li.

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

Sakura was to marry Syaoran Li, though he was a member of Li, and they had to ask for a blessing from the Elders of the Clan. Syaoran was the heir and leader to be. The sad thing was that, if the elders didn't like Sakura then could refuse. The only way Syaoran could marry her then would be to give up the clan and leave.

"But I wouldn't worry Sakura, the elders love bringing new magic into clan and as you have the cards, they'll probably let you marry him" Yelan Li, Syaoran's mother told them. Yelan had already given her blessing. Secretly, from the very start she wanted Sakura ad Syaoran to marry. Her herself would be very disappointed if the elders sad no.

"I brought the cards wit just in case they'd want to see them," Sakura said pulling out the Sakura Cards. "I also brought some of my treasures to show to the elders, it's an offering to show how much I have" Sakura said looking at her Teddy bear Syaoran made her and the two dolls she had, "Which sadly means the world to me, but a bread crumb to them".

Syaoran saw Sakura was worried, "They aren't that bad, when I'm 18 I'll get to tell them off, since I'm just 16 they... they just talk a lot... but don't worry" Syaoran said, he kissed her head and said, "No way will they say no"....

"Our heir and leader of the Clan has come home!" Yelan said showing one of her small smiles. The elders mumbled among themselves finally, Jingzong stood up.

"Well it's about damn time, all his time with that Japanese girl? He's was putting her first, if he like her so much then why isn't he asking us mar... he's here because they want to get married isn't he?" he spluttered out in his old sawn voice.

Yelan young pretty face made a 'Sort of Look... lets go on' look. All the elders talked among themselves again. "Send him in," said The Great Elder, Zyroin Li. This man was Yelan's Grandfather and Syaoran great-grandfather so Yelan showed the great repeat.

Yelan turned and opened the large door; behind them were Syaoran and Sakura. Both were wearing Chinese clothes. Syaoran walked in first, all the elders were forced to bow on their old weak knees. Syaoran noticed them all struggling down so Syaoran quickly told them to sit down.

Yelan stood next to Syaoran and Sakura just stayed in the door way suddenly they shut forcing Sakura to enter the room.

"Oh Great Ones and Wise Teachers I return here today to ask of a blessing" Syaoran said in a respectful voice, "And I ask thee all and thee Great Elder, my ancestor, for a blessing".

"What is it you have to ask Xiaolang-sama?" The Great Elder said in his holy voice, "What is it you ask of I, your great-grandfather, oh only son and youngest child of Ryuu Li and my Granddaughter Yelan Chain-Li?"

Sakura was confused by the way they addressed each other; finally Syaoran came to the point. "I have come here to seek your word in a question of marriage. I wish to marry and I ask you give your blessing as my mother has already given her word of agreement".

Yelan nodded the Great Elder and the other Elders looked at each other. Finally the Great Elder said, "Very Well, let us see this woman". Sakura very shyly walked towards the elders and were Syaoran and Yelan stood. The elders all looked at her, whispering as she passed.

She bowed down and looked up to them, "Name, one must give her name" bellowed one elder. Sakura was scared but she replied.

"Kinomoto Sakura"

"Sakura?" the elders looked at her repeating her name in whispers, it tormented Sakura over and over.

"Her name is Ying Fa" Yelan told them, Sakura didn't know what Ying Fa meant. She saw the elders nod and smile.

The great elder went on, "A Woman with a name of a blossom of cherries which blooms in Spring. How old are you Ying La-san?"

"16, I turned so but a few weeks ago on the 1st of April" Sakura told them,

"Born on a day of Spring when the cherry blossoms fall, born on a day before our young master here entered this world. By a count of 4 months and 12 days. That is a mush as you would have to wait as Xiaolang must be 16 to marry and become out true leader this was so with his father and grandfather and other before he" The Great Elder said, Sakura felt like he was asking her riddles of a complex manor.

"Well" said one elder, "What have you to show your power and win our trust?"

"A heart full of love" Sakura said looking at Syaoran,

"Is that all?" Jingzong snapped,

"I also have these dolls which are special to me and." Sakura trailed off

"And?" Jingzong snapped again. The Great Elder glared at him and looked back to Sakura,

"Go on my dear" he said kindly,

"I have the magic of the Clow cards, I myself have transformed and created these cards. If you allow me to marry your great grandson, no only will they have the power of this very clan but they will have the power of Clow" Sakura said holding up the book.

The elders looked and smiled all but Jingzong. "Very well, you have our blessing" The Great Elder said, Sakura smiled, "But" he then said. Sakura hated buts, "What religion are you?"

Sakura answered quickly, "I'm Shinto"

The elders tutted and shook their heads, "The religion of Japan! The one were they worship their own selves this is problem" they all said.

What was wrong Sakura thought. The Great Elder shook his head and the smiled, "But it can be fixed" The Elder said, "I'll give you my blessing, providing you recant your believes and become the religion we worship".

Sakura felt shocked as so did Syaoran. Sakura wondered what religion this was. "What would I be changing to?" Sakura asked. Syaoran looked at her was she thinking about changing for him.

In fact, she was going to change for him. Sakura was too deeply in love with Syaoran to give him up. She thought that maybe she'd like this better the Shinto.

"Chinese Wicca" The Great Elder said finally, "It's a Wicca named. It's a form of Pagan. We believe in Gods and Goddess of The elements, Fire, Water, Lightning and Wind. We also believe that when our lives are over you will come back as another or as a Ghost which we believe Wind Controls. We worship the force in nature and believe that the world and magic is the thing is the way of the world"

"Are you ready to change girl?" Jingzong asked, "Or do you love your spirits more then our master".

Sakura felt tormented by them but she cried out loud, "OKAY!" the elders all grinned "For Syaoran I will do anything, I'll do anything. I will follow Wicca!"

Syaoran ran to her side and she grabbed him, Yelan bowed thank you. The three of them walked out. "And Yelan?" The Great Elder said, "Make sure she knows our laws, let Mei-Lin teach her". Yelan nodded and walked out with them.

When they were outside Syaoran turned to Sakura, "Why did you say yes?" Sakura grabbed him and cried.

"Because I love you!" Sakura said, she then pulled herself together and dried her tears and smiled. "It's because I love more then anything in this world, and I want you. I know I should say this but, I'd never use my magic again and lock the cards away if it meant I could have you" Sakura said with a smile.

Syaoran was so flattered by Sakura saying this, "Thank you Sakura, you're wonderful," Syaoran said. "But this means that you'll have to learn what Meiling ad a I were taught" Syaoran explained to her. Sakura kissed him a few times and then wrapped her arms around him and they deepened the kiss. "Are you... sure... about... this" Syaoran said between kisses.

"Quite... sure... my... little wolf" Sakura said threw her kisses. Syaoran finally stopped her and she smiled, "Yes, I'm very sure, I wasn't a strong Shinto so it's not like I've lost my pride. Touya is much more into it then me" she told Syaoran.

Yelan finally passed by and smiled, "Tomorrow, Meiling will teach you just a bit of what you need to know. She'll meet you here in the garden" Yelan hen walked off. Sakura watched Yelan till she was out of sight. Sakura then turned back to Syaoran and pushed herself up against him.

Syaoran and Sakura started to kiss again; they had only just started when Syaoran broke it. "Sakura" Syaoran said looking up to the sky, "This isn't very conformable". Sakura looked down and saw Syaoran was pressed up against a fence. Sakura let him go and smiled.

"We could go somewhere else" Sakura suggested, "Your room? The only place we won't get caught?"

Syaoran looked at her and nodded, but then as they walked towards the house he turned to her. The garden, on the grass was convertible... "It's a nice day, why go inside?" Syaoran asked. Sakura looked around and went to him.

"We wanted privacy" Sakura said under her breath, "We can make out and plus, I can ask you about this Pagan religion Wicca". Syaoran remembered he had his books in his room.

"Okay, I have books you can check out in my room" Syaoran then ran ahead and Sakura walked behind him slowly. She was day dreaming about the beautiful garden around her, she thought that these Wiccas must look after their gardens. The Great Elder did say they were people who believed in mother earth.

Syaoran was the first to get to his room, though Sakura wasn't too far behind. He ran to his bed and kneeled. Under the bed, he pulled out a box and in that box there was a whole lot of books. Not all of them were on Wicca but Syaoran knew they were in there. Sakura finally caught up and came in.

The scent of peonies and jasmines was in the air, Sakura noticed it was very tidy and pretty. Masculine however and finally then most wonderful thing in the room, and she didn't mean the bed.

"Syaoran" Sakura said she wrapped her arms round Syaoran's waist and looked over his shoulder, "Found them?"

"Yes" Syaoran, said, he found the book 'The Rights and Laws of Wicca'. Sakura took it from his letting go of Syaoran. Sakura flicked threw the book and smiled. She'd look at it tonight, then Meiling wouldn't need to stress herself tomorrow.

"Thank you" Sakura said and she sealed the words with a sweet kiss on his neck. Syaoran turned around and grabbed her; Sakura giggled when Syaoran playfully grabbed her. She dropped the book and grabbed him too and pulled him in to kiss him.

As they kissed and caressed each other, the book in question had been dropped on chapter 4: The Rights and Laws of May Day.
