Multiple Personalities
Chapter One
Fiance
This is my newest creation!! It is part of a series of new fanfictions I'm making. I'll see which ones get the least reviews, and bump them off. But hopefully you'll like this one!! ^^
I made it so that school here starts like it does in Canada and such, because it's easier for me to keep track of. :D It was really weird how I explained it before, so I changed it to regular. :)
Please review (and please, please try to actually review, not favourite or alert!! PLEASE!!), and check out my other fanfictions~~Enjoy~~
*I rewrote some of the first chapters...the part about his personalities...YOU HAVE TO READ IT, IT'S IMPORTANT! XD
***So...I put the first chapter back together. XD It makes more sense that way. (It's hard being a retard!)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CCS CHARACTERS OR CCS.
"I'm so excited, Harumi-chan!" I squealed. "Tomorrow's my fifteenth birthday!"
"Don't forget that it's Toya-kun's birthday as well, Sakura-chan," Harumi giggled.
"I've waited my whole life for this day! Dad has told Toya and I about our big surprise when I turned fifteen and Toya turned twenty-one! And tomorrow is that big day!" I sighed, pondering all the possibilities. "Maybe it's going to be a trip around the world, or something magical, or something!"
Harumi laughed on the other line of the phone. "You have way too big of an imagination, Sakura-chan."
I grinned. "My Dad just better hope that this surprise lives up my expectations!"
"And then if it doesn't, you'll probably just blame it on him!"
"Of course!" I threw a dart to the board on the wall opposite to me; it landed inside the middle circle. "He's been telling me about how amazing it is and how much I'll love it since the day I was born, after all!"
"Oh, Sakura-chan, you are a strange one!" Harumi said. "But I have to go, so I'll see when school starts!"
"Okay! I'll see you then, Harumi-chan! Ja!" I pressed the end button and flung the chord-less onto my bed.
School starts a week from my birthday, and my brother's--yes, we have the same birthday--which is August 31st.
I flicked off the light and crawled under my covers.
My eyes whipped open and I threw off my sheets. I leapt out of bed and quickly brushed my teeth and threw on a red t-shirt and black shorts before racing down the stairs and slamming into Toya.
"Ow! Kaijuu, could you please save your rampages until after our surprise?" Toya groaned, resting his arm on my head.
I stuck my tongue out at him, but as soon as my Dad walked into the room, we both started bouncing with excitement. (Toya made me promise I wouldn't tell any of his friends that he was quite that excited--teehee!)
Dad was all smiles; he sat down and took a swig of his coffee before beckoning for us to join him at the table. Toya pulled out a chair for himself and I plopped down in it before he could. I smirked at him and he pulled out the other chair, grumbling about cherries. (I know, what?)
"Well, let's start with happy birthday to you both!" he said proudly. We both smiled at him. "And as you both are completely aware of, you are getting a very special--VERY SPECIAL--surprise today!"
I couldn't help my gigantic smile. I was finally going to have my totally awesome surprise!!
"Are either of you seeing anybody right now?" Dad asked randomly.
"Uh…what?" I asked stupidly. "No…" Toya shook his head.
Dad's smile got even wider. "Good! That's perfect! Because your big surprise is that you have fiancées!" He threw his arms out dramatically.
My jaw dropped to the ground and Toya stood with such force and anger the he ended up flinging his chair across the room. It would have pissed itself if it could, I'm sure.
"Are you kidding me?!" he roared. "You must be insane! Fiancées?! For me and Sakura?!"
Dad blinked. "You mean you aren't happy?"
"NO!" we both cried in unison.
He smiled again. "I didn't think so! But you know how love stories work--you'll end up falling for each other eventually. And besides…these people are a little…different."
"Oh, sure!" I groaned. " 'A little…different,' he says mysteriously!"
Dad laughed. "Trust me, guys, you'll learn to love 'em."
"I think not," I said, pouting. This was my big surprise I'd waited my whole life for?!
Toya crossed his arms over his chest. "If they're coming over, send them back home. I don't want to see them, and I'm pretty sure Sakura doesn't, either." I shook my head vigorously in support.
"I'm sorry, but I can't. And besides, you never know if you'll like them or not. You've never met them, so you can't claim them to be bad people, right?" Dad pointed out, winking at my brother.
"We don't need to meet them!" I protested. "Arranged marriages are so last century, anyways! Besides, there was this cute guy in my class that will be going to Tomoeda High this year, and I was hoping…" I caught Toya's glare. "I mean…"
Dad let out another loud laugh. "You two are too much!" He stood up and rinsed out his coffee mug. "Have you two got most of your stuff packed?"
"Yeah," I sighed, glad for a change of subject. We were also moving to a new house today; in the same area, though, so no need for a school change. "There's just some clothes, books and my dart board to pack away still. Oh yeah, and the phone…"
"I thought you packed that already!"
"Well…I needed to call Harumi-chan!" I squeaked. Toya grunted. I stuck my tongue out at him again. For some reason, he'd never really liked Harumi. And I haven't even known her for that long.
Dad sighed. "Oh, whatever…go finish packing, then."
"Come on, you guys, hurry up!" Dad called up the stairs to us.
"All right, all right, we're coming, geez!" I yelled back, grabbing the last of my boxes. I rushed down the stairs and plopped them down with my other things. At least moving would take my mind off the whole fiancé thing. Not long after, Toya came down the stairs with his final boxes, as well.
"Any minute now, the Li family will be coming. There will be enough room in their, er, car for all of us, and they're bringing a truck for all of our belongings to bring to the new house," Dad explained.
Toya frowned. "But that makes it sound like they're moving in with us too…hey!!"
The doorbell rang, and Dad temporarily escaped Toya's rage.
Dad opened the door and a tall, slender woman with long black hair embraced him and he returned the gesture. I cocked an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Toya; Dad usually didn't associate with beautiful women…
"Toya, Sakura, this is Li Yelan," he introduced. "Yelan-san, these are my children, Sakura and Toya."
Yelan smiled. It was a tight kind of smile, but there was warmth in her eyes. She bowed, and I bowed as well, deeply.
"It's nice to meet you," she said. Her voice was like the tinkling of bells. She could only be a super model…!!
"I-It's nice to meet you, too," I stuttered.
Yelan stood up straight again. "Girls!"
A girl with short, reddish hair walked in; she was wearing a leather jacket.
"This is Fanren," Yelan said. Fanren bowed a little.
A girl with the same coloured hair, only longer walked in. She had really shiny eyes and looked very delicate.
"This is Fuutie."
Fuutie bowed. "It's…very nice to meet you…"
A third girl walked in, same colour hair, but long and with a big red bow. She was all smiles.
"This is Shiefa."
"HI!!" she exclaimed, waving.
Yet another girl stepped into the house. She had her (same coloured) hair in a tie around her shoulder.
"This is Feimei."
She just winked at Toya.
Dad jumped in. "Toya, you are to pick one of these girls to be your bride."
Toya blinked, his face a little red. "What…? Isn't that kind of…"
"Unfair to the other girls?" I finished for him.
In unison, all four girls shook their heads.
"We know how to deal," Fanren said.
"And I know we'd be able to find other guys if one of us isn't picked," Feimei giggled.
"Uh…right…" I said, kind of creeped out. But whatever changed the subject from…
"Now Sakura, here's your fiancé," Dad said.
Crap!
"Syaoran!" Yelan called.
All of the girls giggled, whispering things about love at first sight and cuteness. Hmph! I think not!
A boy stepped through the doorway. He had long legs and his clothes complimented his perfect body nicely. He had chocolate brown hair and intense amber eyes, along with a gorgeous face to boot.
"This is my only son, Syaoran," Yelan said, smiling.
Syaoran bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted. His voice was like velvet.
"Well, this is Toya," Dad said, motioning to him. "And this is Sakura."
Toya and I bowed. I avoided looking Syaoran in the eye. Even though he was totally hot, I could tell he was just plain arrogant.
"Please, put your things in the moving truck," Yelan said.
I picked up some of my boxes and started for the door. Syaoran stepped in front of me.
"Here, let me take those for you," he offered, outstretching his hands.
"…No, thanks. I can do it myself," I told him, sidestepping to get through the door. Hmph! Thinks I'm so weak just 'cause I'm a girl!
After everything was loaded, we all climbed into the limo they had arrived in.
"Did you know," Shiefa said, "that we paid to build our new house that our parents designed together? Your Dad has some really cool ideas!"
"What're you, rich?" Toya muttered.
All four girls squealed, "Yes!"
I sighed. Great. Now my fiancé was a hot, arrogant rich kid. That was a bad combination.
We got to the new house and I immediately raced to the moving truck. I was afraid to see the house. I took a bunch of boxes, and stumbled over to my home. I caught a glimpse of it; it was GIGANTIC!!! My jaw dropped for the second time that day, along with all the boxes I was holding.
"Ahh!" I exclaimed, scrambling to pick up the fallen boxes.
Syaoran walked over and picked some of them up. I looked at him, and ended up looking straight into his amber eyes. He was looking back into mine. We both blushed, and I rushed past him to the house.
Yelan was already waiting in the living room.
"Where should I put these, Li-san?" I asked her.
She smiled that tight, warm smile again. "Just call me Yelan. And just drop them anywhere; I have people that will set your room up for you."
"Whoa! That's so cool!" I gasped.
She chuckled. "Yes. You just wait here and let them do the work."
I smiled and sat on one of the sofas. I guessed they had already moved things like couches and beds in…or something.
After everyone brought their things in, they all picked a spot to sit.
"So, what do you kids all think of each other?" Dad asked, all smiley-smiley again.
"I think Toya's really cute!" Four girls shrieking at the same time is very frightening.
"And," Feimei added playfully, "I think Sakura-chan and Syaoran-chan are the most adorable couple ever!"
Syaoran and I both stood, our faces red.
"I-I just met him!" I sputtered, embarrassed.
Syaoran flopped back down into his seat. "I can't believe you're making me marry this woman…"
I ground my teeth. "Arrogant rich kid…" I muttered, glaring at him.
He jumped up again. "What did you say?!"
Crap! He heard!
I gathered my courage and repeated, "I called you an arrogant, stuck-up rich kid!!"
"Well you're just a girl, and not even a cute one!" he shot back.
"I think she's cute," Shiefa put in.
"Shut up!" Syaoran spat.
"Hey!" Toya shouted. "My sister's plenty cute!"
I could tell it took all of his courage to stand up to my brother. "No, she's not!"
Toya pierced him with a gaze that shot daggers.
Dad chuckled. "You'll die in seven days, my friend."
"Argh! I refuse to marry this jerk!" I shouted. I ran over to the stairs, but so did Syaoran. "Don't follow me when I storm away!"
"My room's up the stairs, too!" he hissed.
It turned into a race up the stairs and to our bedrooms. They were right across from each other. Creepy.
An hour later, my Dad came knocking. I told him to come in, and he sat on my bed. I was in my armchair, reading a book.
"You and Syaoran-kun got off to a bad start, huh?" he sighed.
"Yes. I hate him," I said bluntly, not looking away from my book.
Dad chuckled. "No, you don't. You just didn't start right."
I eyed my Dad. He's so pure and honest. I just can't be mad at him. Or disagree with him that much, unfortunately.
"You're right," I sighed, putting my book in my lap.
Dad smiled. "Good. Now you should go and apologize to him, and ask to start over."
I sighed again, standing up. "All right…"
I walked across the hall and knocked on his door.
He opened it and cocked an eyebrow.
"Can…can I come in?" I asked.
Wordlessly, he stepped to the side and let me in. I sat on his bed.
"I just wanted to say, gomen nasai," I said, reddening a little. "And…let's start over…"
I looked up at him. I frowned; his eyes were blank. Suddenly, his head snapped back in my direction. His eyes looked different than before, somehow…
He stepped towards me, and it was then that I realized he was shirtless. I blushed as he approached me. I pushed myself against the wall, and he knelt on the bed. He outstretched his arms and pinned me to the wall.
"What…are you doing…?" I managed. My face was burning.
I finally looked at his face, and gasped. His eyes were so bright and innocent! He was grinning!
"We're gonna be so happy together, I just know it! We'll grow old together and our children will have to take care of us, but we won't mind as long as we're together 'cause our love is the strongest!!" he spouted, speaking really fast.
I blinked. "What are you talking about?! I just said start over…!"
Then I noticed his face was moving closer to mine. I blushed even harder and somehow ended up slamming against the wall in a futile attempt to escape him. A book fell from the shelf overhead, and smacked Syaoran.
"Ow…! What…? Aw, crap! What happened this time?" he muttered to himself.
"Ah-hem."
He looked up, like he was noticing me for the first time. He blushed and leapt backwards.
He started breathing slowly in and out, holding his face. After a minute, he sighed.
"What was that all about!?" I screamed.
"Rrgh! Shut up! Come downstairs and I'll tell you."
We went down to the kitchen. He grabbed two cups and a bottle of root beer.
"So? Tell me what happened!" I exclaimed angrily. My heart was still trying to recover!
"Tch! Women are so impatient!" he grumbled as he poured the drink. "Well if you really must know--"
"I really do!" I butted in.
"--I have multiple personalities," he sighed, taking a sip of root beer.
I gaped at him. "Don't lie to me!"
"I'm not! There are different...theories of why I developed them. But the most logical one would be, since I live in chaos with my sisters, I ended with a personality kind of like each of theirs. I grew up in a house with absolutely no men, and it affected me." His eyes flashed suddenly; I wondered what that was about. He shrugged. "Could be either. Beats me. All I know is, I'm a freak now."
I couldn't argue with him. It really looked like he was telling the truth, and he was acting like a different person in his room…except, that glint in his eyes kind of bothered me.
"So…what personality was that, then?" I asked slowly.
"That was the dreamer. He's smart with a HUGE imagination, and is quite the hopeless romantic," Syaoran told me, rolling his eyes.
"And what are the other ones?" I went on. I was very curious now…
"I'm not telling you."
"What?! You have to tell me!" I protested.
"No." He set his empty cup down and took mine.
"Hey--that one's mine!"
He smirked and held it over his head, out of my reach. I jumped up and tried to grab it from him, but he held it even further away. I tried in vain to get it back.
"So…does this mean you guys are interested in each other now?" Yelan's voice came from behind us.
I looked over to see all of the Li women, my Dad and Toya staring at us. (Toya lowered Syaoran's life count to six days in that moment)
And it was then that I realized I had somehow wrapped one arm around his neck trying to get my precious root beer back, and my other one was just resting on his bare chest.
"No!" we both shouted, blushing.
Suddenly, he wrapped his arm around my waist and drank some of my pop. Then he set it down, only to be quickly picked up by me. I took a swig, and turned to him; he was grinning innocently…
"That was an indirect kiss, see! It's the start of our undying love--"
"Argh! I hate this personality!!" I shouted, and everyone else laughed.
