Hey, here is the next chapter to 'Please make me love you'!
Enjoy!
RECAP FROM THE LAST CHAPTER:
"Tomoyo, here is a gold ring that Onii-Chan gave me, I'll keep one with the Emerald and you keep the one with the Amethyst, that way we'll know each other if we get sold off to different places" smiled Sakura weakly as she slipped the ring into Tomoyo's pocket trying not to let the guards see them.
As the girls trudged slowly and silently through the streets ready to meet their fate.
CHAPTER 2: SOLD!
"Nice going Xiao Lang, now we're late for the auction" yelled Eriol to his cousin who was running beside him.
"It's not my fault that I'm not used to the time difference here" argued back Syaoran as they arrived at the market place where the auction was taking place only to hear the name of girls being called out.
"NUMBER 101 YUMEKO PAI" yelled a man as the bidding started as the two young men watched how to purchase the girls.
(Sorry but I don't know the currency of Japan so I'm using the Australian one)
"$50" yelled a man wearing a black suit as the young girl was sold off as the two men watched the girl being lead to the man by a guard to secure his purchase of the girl.
"NUMBER 102, KINOMOTO SAKURA" yelled the auctioneer to the crowd of anxious girls as Sakura stepped forward seeing what her fate was going to be, Syaoran saw Sakura first and was determined to purchase her.
"Let's start the bid at $50, anyone higher then 50?" asked the auctioneer as the man who bought the previous girl held his hand up, he looked quite scary, being of a huge bulge at his stomach and black suit somehow made him more bigger, a big red nose in the middle of his face and two lustful eyes staring at Sakura as she began to whimper slightly.
"55" called out a women from the crowd, wanting Sakura to be the next big thing in the Geisha world, and so the auction began as Syaoran watch as the two people battle it out to have the young girl on the stage.
"190" yelled the old woman
"200" called the man, his final bid hoping the woman had given up, his guess correct.
"Any other higher bid than 200?" called the auctioneer looking at the crowd, "Going once, going twice"
"Please no, please no, please no" prayed Sakura silently as her prayers were about to be answered.
"Hey Syaoran, place a bid will ya?" whispered Eriol as he held Syaoran's hand up high for the auctioneer to see.
"Yes, Sire, would you like to place a bid?" asked the auctioneer looking at Syaoran as he regained composure.
"Yes, 300" spoke Syaoran, not knowing that he spent well over what was needed, but he didn't care, as long as he had her.
"Going once, going twice, sold to the man who placed $300" smiled the auctioneer, happy with the price as Sakura was lead to Syaoran; she was unaware of who had 'bought' her.
"Hello, my name is Li Syaoran" introduced Syaoran to the lady in front of him as she kept her head down, "Look at me" Syaoran asked as Sakura timidly tilted her head to face her fate, only to be greeted with a pair of Amber pools staring back into her Emerald ones.
Syaoran's P.O.V.:
It's her, the girl I saw yesterday, so her name is Kinomoto Sakura, Sakura, Cherry Blossoms, what a cute name, I could see she was quite frail and small, I couldn't quite see her face for she was tilting her head down, finding the ground more interesting.
"Hello, my name is Li Syaoran" I introduced as she kept her head low.
"Look at me" I said then she slowly tilted her head to meet mine, and there they were, those beautiful Emerald eyes that I saw just yesterday, I feel like I can't live a day without seeing them, I even dreamt about them last night, those mysterious eyes.
Normal P.O.V.:
"From now on, you'll be my personal assistant" Syaoran told her in a business like tone as she nodded her head.
"NUMBER 103, DAIDOUJI TOMOYO" at the sound of her best friends name she immediately looked up to see her best friend shaking on the stage as she whimpered slightly.
"100" yelled the fat man from before determined to get her.
"250" yelled another voice from the crowd the man stayed silent as the mysterious man won the auction, as they lead Tomoyo to him they walked silently to Syaoran and Sakura.
"Sakura Chan" yelled Tomoyo as she hugged Sakura happily as the two men watched their new servants hug each other.
"Ahem, you two ladies will be our personal servants; we shall travel back to England tomorrow" spoke Eriol as the two girls stared at them as if they came from outer space.
"England?" asked Sakura quietly as they two men continued to explain while walking as the girls ran up to catch them.
"Yes, that is where we come from, we were here on a little… mission and now we have to go back" said Eriol again looking at Syaoran who had a little bit of sweat running down his forehead.
"Syaoran, you really must improve your self control" spoke Eriol in English thinking the two ladies didn't understand.
"Well SORRY, I can't help it when you mention our so-called-mission" argued Syaoran in English, both Eriol and him unaware that the girls were listening intently.
"Hey, do you notice that the girls are staring at us?" whispered Eriol into Syaoran's ear as the girls turned away quickly.
"I have a plan to know if the girls are listening to us, just play along" whispered Syaoran back, noticing the girls didn't hear.
"My, Eriol, I can't wait to get back to England and take Sakura to be my own" said Syaoran in English as he watched as Sakura face turn bright pink; Eriol catching on said the same thing.
"Yes, I can't wait to take Tomoyo too, I bet she's better" at that Tomoyo turned bright red and the two girls turned around and slapped both the men and yelled at them.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT" yelled Sakura in English as Syaoran watched amusedly
"Well, how dare you listen to our conversation and not tell us you know English?" replied Syaoran back smugly and left with a huffy Sakura following behind him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I didn't mean what I said back there, we just wanted to know" spoke Eriol softly looking at Tomoyo as she looked up at his Azure eyes that captured her heart immediately.
"Yea, I'm sorry for slapping you so hard, are you hurt?" asked Tomoyo worriedly as she touched his cheek as he winced slightly then she removed her hand quickly not wanting to hurt him further, "Sorry" she whispered as he looked at her eyes.
"No, it's alright" answered Eriol as they walked together happily following Sakura and Syaoran.
"Ne, Kinomoto, I was only joking" said Syaoran trying to make Sakura forgive him as she still walked away. "And remember, I do have the right to do whatever I want to you, due to the fact that I OWN you" said Syaoran again that made Sakura stop in her tracks as she growled softly as she retreated behind her 'master'.
"Good girl, now, our ride will be here in about two hours, by that time, you two should freshen up a bit, here is (sorry, I don't know the currency of Japan so I'll just use dollars, hehe, sorry bout that) twenty dollars each, we'll meet here by 1:30pm, and to ensure that you don't run off, we have two bodyguards to guard you, see you soon" and Syaoran walked off with a Eriol running right behind him.
"Did you at least apologize to Kinomoto?" asked Eriol as Syaoran kept walking.
"No, but it is quite amusing playing around with her" smirked Syaoran as he turned around to see the girls only to see Sakura bend down to a pair of little kids and give them some of the money she had as they thanked her and ran off as she smiled sweetly to them and walked of with Tomoyo the other way.
"Hey, little kids" called Syaoran as the two twin brother and sister for them to stop, "What did that girl give you?" asked Syaoran curiously, which was very unlike of him and Eriol was one to notice this change.
"She gave us fifteen dollars" answered the little boy as the two kids ran off in search of shelter.
"She gave them three quarters of what she got, and with the money she has left, it's unlikely to have much to use" murmured Syaoran, as he looked at the Emerald eyed lady as she smiled to Tomoyo, seeing Tomoyo talk to her trying to push some money in Sakura's hand she refused, knowing the Tomoyo needed it more, as they walked happily away.
"Looks like you like that Kinomoto girl" appeared Eriol out of nowhere as Syaoran still looked clam.
"She is my servant, and that's all she'll ever be" hisses Syaoran to Eriol as he shook his head.
"Are you sure about that?" and mysteriously disappeared as he did appear as Syaoran was left thinking.
I know this is very short, but please excuse my lateness.
Please review, onegai!
