(Recap)
"Sakura-chan! You know you're my best friend, right?" she said softly.
"Of course, 'Moyo-chan!" she hugged her tightly.
"Then please, do this for me... Love Li with everything you've got. You deserve, more than anyone I know, to be the happiest person alive!" she said smiling.
Sakura's eyes widened, and she teared, before Tomoyo interrupted once more.
"...And one more thing. I'M DESIGNING YOUR WEDDING DRESS, YOU GOT THAT? YOU'D BETTER NOT THINK OF GOING TO ANY FANCY-ASS DESIGNER NAME, ALRIGHT?" she practically yelled.
Sakura laughed. It was their promise since childhood that Tomoyo would design Sakura's dress, and Sakura would set Tomoyo up with her perfect match. Sakura had done just that, and within a few years, Tomoyo's part of the deal would be fulfilled as well.
The two hugged once more, before pulling apart and going their separate ways, both crying and sobbing, as they were each pulled into their fiancées' arms. As Sakura and Li looked at them, they knew their place in the world, and smiled at each other, before yelling a loud goodbye and boarding the Li family jet.
Their journey was just beginning.
---------------------------------Chapter 10---------------------------------
The flight to Hong Kong was, though long, quite enjoyable to Sakura. She was able to talk to Li, find out more about his family, and… do some other things with him.
You perverts, don't get any funny ideas!
They had a few tickling matches on the large, plush velvet seats, a few video game tournaments, and a short nap before touching down at the Li estate's private runway.
As Sakura looked out the window, Li smiled as he saw her eyes sparkle with wonder.
"Th…th…this place is HUGE!!! OOKII DESU NEE!!! And, and, and LI-KUN!!! YOU LIVED HERE!?" she squealed.
Li laughed and kissed her on the cheek, causing a pink blush to paint Sakura's face.
"Hai… And…" He was stopped by the curious look in her eyes as she looked to the manor.
"L-Li-kun?"
"Uh… Yeah?"
"Ummm… Are… are those your sisters?"
Li froze instantly and rigidly peered out the window, only to see four smiling, beautiful women tapping on the windows.
"SHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!"
---------------------------------Deplaning…---------------------------------
Sure, enough, just as Sakura stepped sheepishly off the plane, a resounding "KAWAII" chorus rang through the air. Sakura just stood there, confused, amused, and slightly afraid as the girls hugged, tickled and looked her over.
"OH MY GOSH, XIAOLANG, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!!! AND SO CUTE!!! How on earth did she agree to be YOUR wife!?" squealed Feimei.
"I KNOW!!! She's ADORABLE!!" gushed Fuutie.
"WE SHOULD TOTALLY DRESS HER UP!!!" yelled Shiefa.
"I DID just buy new make-up and dresses…" Fanren said.
"YAY!! It's SETTLED!! Sakura, right? You're coming with us!!!" they all yelled in unison.
"We should show her… THE ROOM!!" Feimei said.
And thus, Sakura was whirled away, while Li simply started to unpack the bags.
'Yep, just like I thought…'
And then, a thought struck him…
"We should show her… THE ROOM!!"
'Wait…'
"WHAT FRIKKEN ROOM!?"
His eyes widened before realizing… They were going to show her the picture room.
"AW, SHIT!!!"
---------------------------------------------Picture Room--------------------------------------------
Sakura was amazed as the sisters led her into a mahogany room, the walls trimmed with red velvet. The only thing that was more stunning than the ornate décor were the hundreds of family photos strewn along the walls. There were photos that she was sure went back to at least a hundred years ago.
"Sakura-chaaan!" Fanren shouted. "We want to show you something!!"
As Sakura turned, she saw a large wall covered by a red velvet curtain.
"Wh…What is it?" she asked hesitantly.
The sisters snickered for a second, before handing Sakura the rope to pull open the curtain. Just as she was about to pull the rope…
BAM!
"KURAAAAAA!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!" Li yelled.
Sakura stood there, shocked, scared, and kind of… curious. What could be behind this curtain to make Syao-kun react so strongly? So she started to pull on the rope, and the curtain started to open.
That is, before Li tackled her and tickled her mercilessly.
"LI-KUN!! GAHAHAHAAA!! St-STOP!! I can't breathe!! Ahahahahahaaa!!!" she squealed as she held tight to the rope.
"You can't open that curtain, Kura-chan!!" he said pleadingly.
"Heeeeeeheee… And why not!?" she said, still laughing.
"Because… because… just don't, okay?"
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!!! OPEN IT, OPEN IT!!!" the sisters chorused.
"STOPPIT, YOU SHE-DEVILS!!! NOOOO!!!" he yelled as he lost grip of Sakura, and the curtain peeled open.
Sakura was graced with possibly the funniest, cutest, and most ridiculous collection of photos ever.
All of Syao-kun.
There were dozens of pictures of Syaoran in dresses, skirts, and high heels, with blush painting his cheeks. There were pictures of Syaoran that were snapped as he was tripping down the stairs, when he found the flour in the kitchen (the only things that had color in the photo were his eyes, the rest was pure white), a smiling Syaoran missing four of his front teeth, and quite a few other noteworthy scenes.
Sakura was rolling on the floor and turning red and purple with laughter along with the sisters, while Syaoran simply stood there blushing and denying any questions Sakura posed.
She then turned to a photo that was slightly larger than all of the others.
A rather recent looking picture of Syaoran sleeping high up in a sakura tree, his face calm and peaceful, while blossoms fell, and he grasped onto a sakura blossom.
It absolutely took her breath away.
The four scheming "she-devils" took this as their cue to leave, and quietly scurried out of the room.
As Syaoran saw the picture she was gazing at, he smirked and locked his arms around her thin waist, earning a small gasp, before dipping his head to her ear.
"…Do you know who I was thinking of as I sat there…?" he said softly, sending shivers up Sakura's spine.
Sakura simply stood there, entranced and enraptured with the feel of Syaoran holding her, and the beauty of the photo.
"…N…N…No… Who?" she managed to stutter.
"…You." he said, letting out a small breath, making Sakura shudder.
Sakura simply stood there, immersing herself in the moment, and blushing like crazy. The two stood there for a while, staring at the photo, before Sakura turned around, and kissed him softly.
"Li Xiaolang…"
He looked at her curiously, before hearing the most beautiful thing in the world pass through her lips.
"Li Xiaolang…Wo ai ni…" she said softly, before stealing another kiss from the stunned young man.
Syaoran broke the kiss softly and looked at her carefully.
"Where… Did you learn that by yourself?" he asked breathlessly.
Sakura smiled, proud that such a thing could bring such emotion from him.
"Yes, I did… Did you like it?" she asked, blushing.
"You went and learned how to say 'I love you' in my native tongue, and you ask if I liked it!? Gods, how did I survive without you for four long years!" he said as he hugged her and stroked her back.
Sakura simply smiled, and gave him a little nudge, before unwrapping herself from his arms, looking at the pictures one more time, and…
Laughing so hard her stomach hurt for the next few days.
Li could do nothing but watch as he was severely humiliated by the woman he loved.
"BWAHAHAHAAAA!! YOU'RE WEARING A FRILLIER DRESS THAN MINE!! AND YOU HAVE BLUSH ON YOUR EYES!!! AND YOU'RE WEARING HAIR EXTENSIONS!!!"
Li grumbled, before smirking and running out of the room, and returning with a camera.
Sakura was still on the floor rolling and laughing, her hair totally disheveled, tears and mascara running down her bright red face, and her clothes rumpled and scrunched up. She looked up with wide eyes to Li holding a camera to her.
KLIK, KLIK, KLIK
"Bwa… You did… not just do that!!" she yelled.
Li simply waved the camera around and whistled.
"I don't know… I thought that picture was preeetty priceless, if you ask me… I mean, I bet Fujitaka and Tomoyo would absolutely LOVE it, don't you? And I think there was a little something hanging from your noooooose…" he said innocently.
Sakura blushed and hurriedly wiped her nose, and smiled angelically, before letting loose a yell that sent Li running like a baby.
"LI XIAOLAAAAAAAAANG!!! YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!! I STILL HAVE MY CARDS!!! SHADOW, WINDY, RELEASE!!!"
"HOOOOOOOLLLLYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!" he yelled as he raced through the manor. "GAH!!! SAKURA, IT WAS JUST AN INNOCENT PRANK!!"
Sakura was running after Li full speed, with Shadow and Windy just tailing Li.
"If my BROTHER somehow gets that photo, I'M DOOMED, LI!!!!"
At this, Li simply smiled before throwing the camera quickly into his room as he ran by. After all, they were after HIM, and not the camera, right?
As was predicted, the camera was abandoned…
"FRICK!!!"
Before Li was lifted off his feet and trapped inside a dark whirlwind, and all sight was lost.
"S-Sakura… You do know it was just a trick, right? I, I mean, hey, you looked so cute… And I don't have any embarrassing photos of you, so give me a break, I want funny pictures of my wife!" he pleaded.
Sakura simply laughed.
"Oh, so it was a prank, was it? Well, I got a little prank of my own… Shadow, Windy, return to the cards!!" she yelled.
When Li was released, he found himself 20 feet above his saltwater pool.
"SAKU-"
SPLAAASH!!
And she spent the rest of the day laughing and watching Li sulk over being beaten once more. Little did she know, that three photos were making their way via Internet to Fujitaka.
And the sisters simply looked at each other and smiled as the couple spent the rest of the day unwinding.
"He's got a special one there, ne?" they all said in unison.
"I do believe so…" a smooth female voice said.
A long, slim shadow was cast into the room as Yelan Li made her way to the window and watched the couple.
"I simply hope she is up to the task of being a Li wife…" she said sympathetically.
