IMHIMDR 6
Standing outside the mall, Tomoyo couldn't help but wonder what exactly Syaoran had planned. As she saw him running towards her she held her breath and prayed that Sakura would be delayed.
"Ok so what's this plan?" she asked as the brown haired boy came to a stop in front of her.
"Err well I don't really have a plan as much…" he trailed off.
"EHHHH? So what are you going to do?" Tomoyo yelled. Syaoran simply patted his pocket and smirked boyishly. "Oh Syaoran! We have to go!" Tomoyo giggled as she pulled him towards her car.
"But do you think we will make it?" he asked with concern. Tomoyo simply gave him a knowing smirk. The pair got in and the chauffer began o drive towards the airport.
"I know I don't look it, but I am a very influential woman" she smiled "watch" and with that Tomoyo flipped open a laptop and began to type. Within a matter of moments, Sakura's airline had been warned of an oncoming hurricane and had decided to delay all flights.
Tomoyo smirked at her victory whilst Syaoran sat dumbfounded. "Did you do that?" he questioned, amazed. She simply nodded.
"I've done all I can, it's up to you" she warned. Syaoran's face turned serious.
"I know" he replied "but I can't lose her again"
They pulled up to the airport and Syaoran jumped out.
"Good luck!" Tomoyo called after him. He waved behind himself and headed inside. "You'll need it" she muttered afterwards.
Once inside the airport, Syaoran realised just how tough his job was going to be. Tokyo airport had become worldly renowned for its mass capacity, but no one could have guessed that it would be so busy. People were rushing to and fro, greeting and goodbying, not really paying attention to the others around them. It would be nearly impossible to find Sakura in all these people, but he knew he had to.
"First things first" Syaoran reasoned, "I need to find departures"
Meanwhile, in the departure lounge, Sakura was sat quietly staring at her cup of coffee. She felt childish, running off like this without even confronting Syaoran, but she simply couldn't bear to face him. If she even caught one glimpse she knew she'd collapse in tears, begging to know why he'd done this to her. Why had he made her fall in love with him? Why didn't he love her back?
A single tear rolled down her cheek, and Sakura feared more would follow.
"Don't cry, monsters aren't scary when they cry"
Touya's familiar voice perked her up and she smiled weakly at him.
"Yeah well monsters also like their coffee hot but there you go" she mumbled back, earning a grin from her big brother.
"Haha, cheeky" he smiled. "How about something better?" he asked "my treat"
Sakura took the money out of his hand and stretched her legs.
"Be back soon ok?" she said and wandered towards the shops.
Syaoran was beginning to get agitated.
"For the last time, no I do not have a ticket, no I do not want a ticket and no I do not wish to book a ticked! I just need to get through! Don't you realise who I am? I am Li Syaoran of Li-Corp! Let me through!" he yelled at the receptionist.
"Well I am very sorry sir, but I cannot let you through without a ticket" she replied dryly.
"Aghhh!" Syaoran grumbled "but I need to get through. It is of the highest importance" he said
The receptionist rolled her eyes "not without a ticket".
"But I…" Syaoran was about to continue when an oddly familiar gentleman stepped in his path. The man walked up to the desk, leaned over and whispered a series of sentences to the receptionist. At first she turned pale, then blushed and finally nodded and muttered "I understand sir".
Turning to Syaoran, she forced a smile. "You may go through" she said grudgingly "but we expect you to return within the hour"
Syaoran nearly jumped for joy. "Thank you!" he yelled before running through the gates, before he left he took one look at the man who had saved him. It was Eriol! "That sly devil" he thought "I'll bet Tomoyo put him up to it".
There were a variety of little shops in the airport, each selling little souvenirs. One shop had novelty cups, another had postcards. However, the one Sakura loved the most was a smaller shop selling jewellery. From huge earnings to simple necklaces, every piece was beautiful and unique. One piece in particular had captured her heart. It was a simple gold ring, thin and plain, except for a simple gem that rested at its centre. The gem itself wasn't of high value, but that didn't matter to Sakura. It was its colour. A deep shade of amber ran through the gem, catching the light in the most magnificent way. It felt warm, safe, loving but more importantly it was the same shade as those eyes. The eyes she had come to love, the eyes that haunted her at every turn. Syaoran's eyes.
It made her sad to think of Syaoran, but somehow the ring seemed to evoke positive memories. Good times when the pair had shared moments of kindness and caring. The moments when she had felt love.
Picking up the ring, Sakura toyed with it in the palm of her hand. It spoke to her, letting her know that no matter how hard she tried, she would never truly be able to let Syaoran go. She loved him, and no matter the distance she would still love him.
Smiling sadly at the shop owner, Sakura barely noticed the figure next to her also looking at jewellery.
"I'll take this one" she said to the shop owner, taking the ring off and slipping it back into its box.
The man next to her seemed to shuffle for something in his pocket, grumbling slightly. His grumble reminded her of when Syaoran was irritated. If he had too much work, or if she was uncooperative with him, he'd often grumble like that in the hopes that everything would magically work itself out. Sakura had always laughed at that grumble, remarking that Syaoran was like a little child. It had almost been their thing. Almost.
The shop owner was about to ask Sakura for payment, when the man next to her placed a ring box in front of her.
"I think this would suit you better, babe"
Sakura froze in place. She knew that voice! And only one person dared to call her babe. But it couldn't be! It wasn't possible!
Sakura slowly lifted the lid on the ring box and gasped. Inside was a gold engagement ring, studded with diamonds. She spun round and there, crouched on one knee was Syaoran, looking as gorgeous as ever and beaming from ear to ear.
"Syaoran…what the hell? Why are you here?" Sakura shouted, totally taken aback by the events unfolding around her.
"You left Sakura. You just got up and left. You didn't call, didn't visit. Nothing. Now that wasn't very fair was it?" he asked calmly, still crouched on the floor.
"No but I..." Sakura tried to interject but Syaoran stopped her.
"There was something I needed to ask and you didn't even give me the chance. SO I had to hunt you down, all the way over here, so that I could ask you"
Sakura remained in stunned silence, simply staring at Syaoran. He reached up and took the ring out of her hands. Then presenting it to her, he said:
"Sakura, the moment I saw you I knew you were everything I could want. I tried to ignore it, but it's the truth. I spent months with you in the hope that you'd see that and feel the same. And then I learned to love you. No, not learned to, I did. I do. Sakura you're my world. When you left everything fell apart. I was nothing, I am nothing without you. I love you. Sakura Kinomoto, will you marry me?"
For a while she said nothing, just merely stared at the ring. Then slowly she too crouched on the floor.
"When I first met you, I thought you were a selfish, arrogant, infuriating fool of a man. I hated you with every being of my soul and hoped with all my might you'd get sick of me and leave me alone. But then I saw the other side of you. The kind, gentle, loving side that showed me there was more to you. Then at your mothers…I thought I saw all that disappear. I thought I'd seen a love that wasn't there. I hated you for it. Ran away, hoping to escape. But the truth always followed me. And that truth is that I love you Syaoran Li. I love you more than I dare to imagine and being without you is like missing part of myself" she smiled at him.
"Is that a yes?" Syaoran asked with a grin.
"That's a HELL YEAHHH" Sakura giggled.
Syaoran took her in his arms and kissed her passionately, allowing all his feelings for her to flow into that one kiss. She reciprocated it, allowing the walls around her heart to shatter and the love to pour out.
The following year the pair were married. Sakura's wedding ring was of course the one she had loved in the jewellery store, and Syaoran had found a similar one containing a green gem to match Sakura's eyes. They went on to have two beautiful children and continue to live a wonderful and happy life together.
And whenever someone dared ask the pair how they met, they would both giggle and Sakura would reply:
"I met him in my dressing room!"
HEHHEHEH hope you all liked it!
Love you all guys xx
