Chapter Eleven: Thanks for the Memories

It's been a week from when Mai arrived. Sakura and Tomoyo have been forbidden in the Li Mansion by Yelan Li, and Syaoran is not liking it, one bit.

"Mother! They're my friends! You have to let them in!" he said as he sat in the mansion's study. "No way, Xiao Lang, you are engaged and forbidden to see you ex girlfriend," said Yelan, sipping her Jasmine tea. "Mother! I never told you we broke up! She is still my girlfriend!" he replied, drinking his lemonade. He chose to drink something sour, because it suited his mood, yes, he was very sour. "YOU ARE ENGAGED, XIAO LANG, AN ENGAGED, SOON-TO-BE MARRIED-MAN-IN-THRTY-DAYS, STAYS TRUE TO HIS BETROTHED," shouted Yelan, still calmly sitting on her chair

"You arranged the marriage without my consent mother, for all I know, you dug up information about Sakura and didn't like what you saw," said Syaoran, gulping down half of his drink. "Yes, I didn't like what I saw, I will not have the heir to the Li Clan have a relationship with someone of lower status. Do you get me, Xiao Lang?" she said, finishing her tea and setting the cup down. "No mother, I don't get why you stomp on your only son's happiness," retorted Syaoran.

"Trust me, you won't be happy with her," said Yelan. Syaoran's blood was boiling, had she called him in there just to say that to him? That his choices will never make him happy? He set his glass down on the small table beside his seat harshly and said, "That's it, I'm going to go out," said Syaoran. He walked out of the room, leaving a Yelan with an arched brow in his wake.

Sakura was in the park, waiting for Syaoran. He had told her to wait for him there; they were going to go somewhere. She caught a cherry blossom petal falling from a nearby tree and looked at it. It was more beautiful when it fell…was it the same for her? Was she like the petal? Was she more beautiful when she fell?

She was broken away from her thoughts when a shadow came over her figure. She looked up and saw the one and only Syaoran Li. She smiled and said, "Hey."

Syaoran frowned; there was a sad dryness from her voice. It sounded like she had a cold, or worse, it sounded like she'd been crying. "Hey," he said smiling. Sakura was surprised a bit, it was only a few times that he genuinely smiled, most of the time, it was a smirk that graced his face. He sat down beside her, on the grass. "Hey, have you ever thought of…I dunno, breaking up with me?" asked Sakura, looking at her captured petal with sad eyes.

Syaoran was shocked, was she telling him she wanted to break up or was her question just meant what it meant? "No!" he said turning to her. She smiled, "Good, because if you did I would punch you in the eye right now," she said, playfully punching him on his left arm. Syaoran smiled and said, "You'll never get to punch me in the eye, coz…I'm never breaking up with you."

Sakura looked into Syaoran's eyes their eyes were gazing into each other's as if they could and would stay like that forever. That sentence he just said, 'I'm never breaking up with you' It was nice to hear, wait, something just went into Sakura's head. "So then, what? You're going to marry me?" asked Sakura jokingly. It was more of a joke but Syaoran decided to answer it back with a serious answer or rather…question.

"Sakura Kinomoto…" he started. Sakura looked at him with a weird look on her face; he just called her with her full name. "Will you…marry me?" he asked, looking into her eyes as if his life depended on it. He needed an answer right now, if she said no, he would wait, and if she said yes, that ring with a huge and beautiful diamond on it that was in Mai's room right now, refusing to be worn, will be happily worn by her.

Sakura was taken aback, Syaoran who always appeared to be a playful and not so serious guy…was asking for her hand in marriage? They were sixteen, and young…What the hell? Why was she making excuses? She knew she loved him, she knew she would do everything for him! So, why was she hesitating? There was only one answer, let's face it, Sakura was one of those smart girls who thought that giving her all for a guy who was engaged to someone else was wrong.

Syaoran was nervous. She wasn't answering. He knew she was hesitating; maybe Sakura didn't love him all that much? What if, he was rejected? He told himself that he would wait, they were young after all. Still, the fear of rejection lingered and shot shivers down his spine.

"I…I…" Sakura was nervous. This is her first boyfriend, she thought she would have at least twenty til one asked her to get married, but noooo, the first one popped the question, right then and there. Commitment, was what she was going to agree to. "I…can't," Sakura put her head down. "What?" Syaoran asked, a few seconds after when he found his voice.

Sakura was crying, "I can't…I dunno what came over me…but I can't!" she said in between sobs. She hugged herself, knowing she couldn't hug him because, hellloooo, she just said no to his marriage proposal. Syaoran was nevertheless, shocked. Sakura had said no. If he were really calm right now, he would understand, I mean, they were sixteen. SIXTEEN. Syaoran never thought that he would ever get rejected in his life, some of the girls who had crushes on him asked him if they could get married but he always took it as a joke…now he knows how they felt.

Syaoran couldn't help it, he wanted to cry, and he wanted to cry a whole lot. He did the only thing he was capable of doing right then, he hugged her, reeaaaallly tight, let go and ran away.

Sakura was shocked when he hugged her. She was even guiltier; Syaoran was comforting her even if she had rejected him. She watched him as he ran away to the street. Sakura followed him, running as well. She didn't care now; Syaoran really did love her, didn't he? Why else would he ask to marry her? She had rejected him but he still loved her, what more could she ask of in a man? She followed him ready to say "I CHANGED MY MIND!! I'LL MARRY YOU LI SYAORAN!!"

Just as he stopped by the pedestrian crossing, Sakura breathed in and out and said, "Syaoran…" He had stepped forward, onto the street and he turned around, hearing his name. "I…changed my mind," she said, huffing and puffing. His frown turned upside down into a smile, she did love him after all. She looked up and looked right into his amber orbs. "I'll mar--" she was cut off when she heard the screeching of tires and a loud thump.

There she saw, a drunken man getting out of his sports car, and Syaoran on the ground with a bleeding head. Sakura gasped and screamed. "SYAORAN!! Wake up! Look at me SYAO-KUN!!" she screamed in between sobs. Syaoran has been bumped by the car, making him fall to the ground and land on his head. Sakura hugged his body, hoping he was still alive. The people, who just happened to pass by, started calling an ambulance.

After three minutes, the scene was filled with police, ambulances, red and blue lights, a crowd of people, and a crying Sakura holding Syaoran's body in the middle of it all.

&&&

"Sakura, you have to go sooner or later," said Tomoyo. She was beside Sakura, in the pristine white, hospital room. Yelan had never come to visit, but his four sisters did. Sakura had enjoyed meeting his sisters but she didn't want to be happy at all, because after all, it was her fault, that Syaoran was lying down on a hospital bed with a bandaged head and a dextrose attached to his hand, and oxygen being filled into his lungs just to keep him alive.

"No Tomo-chan," she said smiling. "I'll stay, and when he wakes up, I'll tell what I wanted to tell him before it happened," she smiled again and faced Tomoyo. "I'll tell him I'm going to marry him." Tomoyo smiled. Her teeth were showing, she was so happy and proud of her best friend. Tomoyo hugged Sakura tight and said, "I'm so proud of you Sakura." "Come one Eriol, visiting hours are over," said Tomoyo, grabbing Eriol by his hand.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan, he'll be up in no time, I've never met anyone as hard headed as him," said Eriol as they both left the room, leaving Sakura to sit by Syaoran's side.

&&&

Sakura woke up the next day, holding onto Syaoran's hand. She had woken up because she felt his hand moving. "Syaoran?" she weakly called in her sleepy but still alert voice. He opened his eyes and turned to her, hearing her voice. Sakura was overwhelmed with happiness. "He's alive!! THANK GOD!!" was the sentence streaming again and again in her head. She hugged him and said, "I'm so glad you're alive! I'm so sorry!" Syaoran's face was neither happy nor sad when she let go of him, instead, it was a look of clueless ness. With an arched brow and his usual smirk on his face, he said, "WHO ARE YOU?"
