Last Fic: Sequel to 'Christmas': Part IV

"Sequel to Christmas: Part V"

~*Flashback of the last part*~

"So??? Who said that I wanted her?"
"I don't trust you and I never did. You came for the boy and you can have him, but you make a move towards her and..."
"Like I said before, I don't want her. She will cause nothing but trouble to me. You can keep her. Just remember your deal."
"I do remember, as long as you remember yours."
"Trust me."
"Sure, like I don't have a life!" said the person sarcastically.
"Well, if you don't trust me, then the deal is over!!!"
"Oh no!!! It doesn't end like that!!! If you do, then I'll tell the kid myself who you are."
"Oh yeah, sure!!! I'm not stupid! I'll remove your memory."
"Oh yeah! And you think that I'm stupid??? I did something too, in which the case is that you cannot use magic on me!!!"
"I see that you are getting clever! Ok, I'll finish the deal!"
"Good, and remember, no mistakes!!!"

(That better, Siu Saki??? ^_^)

At night...

A figure was in shadows. None of it's features could be made out though, except for the fact that that person was leaning towards the tree. Or maybe it was something else...but atleast that was the only thing that could be seen from really far away, and far probably means...let's see...about a block or two. The person stood closer to the tree. The only thing that was now visible was the hair length of the person. Since the hair were long, it was probably a girl. Then after a while, a car passed by them...the headlights of it, illuminating enough to show the observer that there was not only one person but two. One of them was a girl alright, and the other, had the light shown the observer, was a guy. The couple, as the observer called them and he had a perfectly good reason for it too which you'll know in a second, were talking to each other. They then looked as if they were deciding about something. Then they both approached the sidewalk and started walking towards the gate. Still, as it was night, the observer wasn't able to tell who it was. As they were to depart and go towards their destination, they got close, and they kissed each other farewell. At the time, another car came by, and this time illuminating their faces. And they revealed to be...

"Who is that?" thought the observer out loud.

It was actually Meilin with someone else...he was unable to be identified by the observer. The observer just stood their in shock, and stared at the couple until they were nowhere to be seen.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura's place...

"So, there they were, holding hand in hand and walking to some place. I just stood there in shock," said Syaoran.
"Why were you in shock?" asked Sakura.
"Well, for one, that person looked Chinese and then, I was thinking about the attitude that Meilin had lately. You know...she was nice to you and all. I thought that he was probably the reason," he replied.
"Maybe you're right," she said, "let's ask her tomorrow, 'k?"
"Yeah, ok."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At night...

Sakura and Syaoran were at Sakura's place...still. Sakura had dozed off on Syaoran's chest, so he decided to stay there as long as she would wake up. "But", he thought, "she might be a little tired since she hasn't woke up in about 4 hours."

He got her blanket and put in on her and he himself just sat on the nearest chair.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day...

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Syaoran woke up from the knocks, and stood up. He slowly walked towards the door and ruffled his hands in his hair half the way. He had left Sakura's house at 2:00 a.m in the morning and was asleep since then. He opened the door to find...

"Meilin??? What are you doing up at this time in the morning?" he said.
"Syaoran? I think that you should glance at that father clock behind you," she said innocently as she pointed towards the clock.
"What??? 12:00 noon??? I must have been real sleepy!" Then he said as he looked towards her cousin again, "Who is this?"
"That is just the reason I came by this 'morning' of yours!" she said with a smile, rather a chuckle. She continued, "This is Shiang, my boyfriend."
"Your what???!!!" he said with a shock.
"Nice to meet you Syaoran Li. I've heared a lot about you and and your clan. Someone from my village told me that you are to be the leader of your clan," said Shiang as he extended his hand towards Syaoran.
"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you," said Syaoran who extended his hand in return. He then asked them both to join him inside. He made a wonderful breakfast for his guests. Then...

RING! RING! RING!

"Moshi moshi. Sakura speaking."
"Hey Sakura. Come on over to my house. There is someone you ought to meet."
"There is? Who is it?"
"Well, you'll know when you'll come over."
"I'll be there in a few minutes. Should I bring Tomoyo over, that is if it's ok?"
"Sure."
(Conversation ended)

"Is she coming?"asked Meilin.
"Who Sakura? Yeah, she's coming. I bet she'll be real excited to find out about you two."

Few minutes later...

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Hi Sakura. Oh hi Tomoyo. Come on in." Syaoran greeted.
"Hi there Syaoran," Sakura replied as she gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed in response.
"Hey Li." said Tomoyo.
"Glad that both of you could make it." He gestured both of them to follow him. They did.

"Meilin???" They both cried, and then suddenly they stopped in their tracks. They were both looking at the figure who was sitting next to Meilin. She just smiled. And then said, "This is Shiang, my boyfriend."
"Nice to meet you. You must be Sakura, and you just have to be Tomoyo," he said as he looked at the camera that was in Tomoyo's hands, and then at the dress that Sakura was wearing.
"Nice to meet you too," said Sakura and Tomoyo in unison.

They chatted for a while, where Meilin told them all about Shiang. They looked like a very happy couple. Shiang finally said something...

"Well, I couldn't live without Meilin. She came here to meet you all, and she said that she would be back soon, but I couldn't stand the thought about living without her for even a few days. She left and then I booked a flight as soon as possible and then totally forgetting at the moment that I had no experience in talking Japanese. All the places were new, all the faces were new, and then the language was new. I finally found someone who knew Chinese and Japanese and he told me where to go to find cabs and buses. He also translated the address that I had of Meilin, from Chinese to Japanese so that if I wanted to ask someone, I would just have to show them the address." (A.N. Long dialogue! Gomen! ^_^)

They all giggled. But Meilin just smiled and stood up and sat beside Shiang. (Shiang who was at the moment sitting beside Syaoran). She went up to him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"AWWWW!!!!" said Sakura and Tomoyo. Syaoran was the same, almost no expression at all showing on his face, but deep down inside, he was happy that his cousin had found the right person for her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day...

Meilin had gone out with Shiang. Sakura went up to Syaoran's house. Tomoyo was busy with her office work. Her mother was sicker than before thus, all the work, at home and at work was to be done by her.

As Sakura entered the apartment building where Syaoran lived, she thought about the mysterious woman. She just couldn't think that she might be the prize that the woman wanted. She just shuddered. She had now reached the doorstep of his house. She knocked on the door and Syaoran let her in. Moments later, the phone rung, and he became indulged in the conversation.

"Yes, mom.
"..."
"Yes, I'm here because of..."
"..."
"Will you listen to me?"
"..."
"No..."
"..."
"Yes...i will come but this...this is more important..."
"..."
"Uh huh..."
"..."
"What???"
"..."
"No way..."
"..."
"No, I won't leave her like this..."
"..."
"But...no!!"
"..."
"I mean it..."
"..."
"Yeah, well, bye."
(A.N. Ok, I know it may seem to be confusing, but it's not. The dots represent the other person in the conversation, in this case Syaoran's mom. Whatever she says cannot be heard by Sakura, that's why it's not written, ok? Still hard for you all? Ok, just read and everything will be okay. ^_^|)

'What was that all about?' was the look on Sakura's face. She had never been the type that would come in between other poeple's business, but this WAS her Syaoran's case. And most definitely, Syaoran recognized the look on her face, and said that it was nothing to worry about. Sakura nodded, but it could be seen on her face that she was not satisfied. Syaoran knew that but just left the conversation there.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that day...

"Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember about that phone call I had from my mom?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah, I remember. What about it?" replied Sakura.
"Well...you see...well...you already know that I have been chosen to be the Li clan's leader."
"Yeah, I know that Syaoran, and you should know that I'm very happy for you."
"Well, my mom called to tell me that they are going to make me the king, but I have to leave tomorrow, and..."
"Uh huh, and what?" she said with a heart broken voice.
"Well...I know that I have to tell you this."
"Syaoran, just say it."
"Well...I love you," and he gives her a peck on the cheek.
Sakura smiles, but then turns serious, "This is not what you were telling me, and besides, I knew that already."
"Ok, I'll just say it. Li clan wants me to marry the daughter of the former leader, Shiang. Her name is Ping."
Sakura started to faint, but Syaoran was standing right there. He didn't let her fall.
"You didn't listen to the whole thing, Sakura," he continued.
"Yeah...well...what's left to say...I know that..."
"Well, that's what you don't know. I won't marry anyone else except you."
Sakura's body suddenly came back to life. She got up from his lap, and looked straight into his eyes, and said,"Really? You care for me that much that you'll give up your dream of becoming the leader? That you'll give up the main reason that you learned all about magic?"
"I would give anything up for you, Sakura."
"That's very sweet, but..."
"But what?"
"But I can't let you do that."
"What??? Why not???"
"This is about you, not about me. I can't let you give up the reason why you did all this. I can't let you give up this leadership, because you're the pride of your family and you being the leader will restore their (your family's) pride and honor in your clan. That way maybe your father can return to the clan."
"S-S-S--akura."
"Yeah?"
"My father is dead."
"Oh...I'm so sorry about that Syaoran. I-I-I didn't know."
"That's okay."
"Syaoran, this is entirely your choice, whether or not you want to be the clan's leader, but you can't throw away this oppportunity that you want and always wanted so badly, all because of me."
"Sakura, I love you and I can't live with anyone else in the whole world. Just think, I don't even know that girl in the first place. You...yes, you Sakura are the reason I am here, you are the reason I have seen the other side of me, not the side that doesn't care about his own feelings but now I also care about others, you are the reason why I am a changed man, and I want to stay like this. If I go back there, I'll got back to the old me, they'll keep me as their servant while they may call me the leader and hail me. You don't know about this Sakura, you're a non-Li, and that's why it is also hard for me to tell them that I love you and you are the reason why I will not be the clan's leader."
Sakura claps her hands...
"Wonderful speech, very emotional," said Sakura who's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Syaoran, and said, "I love you too, and no matter what, you will always be my love, and I would still love you even when you'd be far away from me, but like you said, you're not going to be far from me, you'll always be my side."

They both cried and slept in each other's arms, both realizing that their love would last forever. And Syaoran realized that this was the first time he had ever cried in front of Sakura, or rather in front of anyone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Place unknown...

"Hah, it's working. My plan is working!!! He'll be here to see her suffer!!! Ha ha ha ha!!! He will be mine, he will be mine."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day...

"Let's go out and have a picnic. Today is such a beautiful day."
"No can do Meilin, only 3 more days left to find out that witch!!!" said Sakura, "She has burned me up!"
"Oh really???" said Meilin with a sly smile.
"Oh yeah," said Tomoyo, giving the eye to Meilin, "oh yeah."
"Well, we have to work this thing out," said Syaoran.
"Hey, where's Shiang?" asked Sakura.
"Oh, he's in the bathroom taking a shower," said Meilin as she blushed at the thought.
"Ohhh...ok," said Sakura, "well, that gives us more time to think about the mysterious woman."
"Certainly," said Meilin.
"Well, so far we are zippo, we know nothing about this lady, other than she looked about our size, and whenever appears, brings black smoke with her, and that she has a very squeaky voice, and don't forget the worst part, she hurts Sakura as well," analyzed Syaoran.
Sakura smiled at him and he smiled back. They were sitting hand in hand. Sakura, because of that, was watching Meilin to see how she reacted to the fact. Meilin simply smiled and averted her gaze to the young man who was coming downstairs.

"Hi guys," said the young man who then bended towards Meilin and gave her a teenie kiss.
"Hi," everyone replied.
"How'd you all sleep?" he asked cheerfully.
"The same as always," said Tomoyo.
"Well, then I assume that you sleep not so good each night," joked Shiang.
"For your information, I sleep like a horse," said Tomoyo, "OOPS!! I meant, I sleep good each night."
Everyone just laughed. Tomoyo looked at each and everyone sternly and the laugh became merely a giggle and then a smile, but as she stopped the glaring, everyone burst into a fit of laughter, all except Sakura and Syaoran.
"Wha--t's t-t--he matter Li, you're n--n-not laughing?" said Meilin.
"You too Sakura--this is--l--l-like the funn--funniest thing ever," said Shiang.
"Oh yeah, I bet it is, but...but..." Sakura said as she looked at Syaoran.
"But...we don't want Tomoyo to be mad at us, that's what." replied Syaoran in haste. He then thought, 'Phew!!!!'
"Yeah, exactly," said Sakura, and then she looked at Tomoyo, who was laughing herself. That made Sakura laugh too. She then thought, 'Yeah, exactly.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that night...

"Well, I have to go. Shiang is taking me to this wonderful concert and I just bet that it would be fun. Sorry, but he just bought two tickets," said Meilin, as she eyed her precious (Shiang).
"Oh yeah, would ruin all the fun if they were with us," he said in a small voice so that no one but Meilin would hear.
"Well, gotta go," said Meilin, "bye."
"Bye and have fun!!!" said the trio.
"Oh, we will," whispered Shiang in Meilin's ear. In return, she playfully hit him on his hands and then they left.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The same night...

"Focus Sakura, please focus," said Kero.
"I'm trying my best Kero," said Sakura.
"Well, you're not trying very hard," said Kero who crossed his arms in front of her.
"Now, you're the one not letting me concentrate!"
"Fine, fine," replied Kero.
"K-K-Kero??" she said in a fright.
"Sakura? What is it?"
"It's the same thing as I thought!! I was right!!"
"Well, then let's bust this case!!"
"Not so fast there Kero," said Sakura stopping Kero from going forward.
"Now what?"
Sakura closed her eyes and tried to focus again. She didn't have much luck as someone knocked on the door.
"Coming," she said, "Touya? What are you doing here?"
"Checking up on my little sister, what else?"
"Oh ok. So, where's Yuki?"
"He's in the kitchen helping himself," said Touya as he leaned on the side of Sakura's bedroom wall.
"Oh, ok, well, I'll go downstairs and say hi," said Sakura who was just about to dash off when Touya stopped her by taking ahold of her hand.
"Whoa! Whoa!! Stop right there, kaiiju. Need to talk to you."
"Yeah, well what is it?"
"It's about that Chinese gaki."
"First he's not a gaki and second, there will be no talk about him at all. Dad made you promise that you wouldn't."
"I know that, squirt! Just wanted to ask how your relationship with him is going on?"
At first, she was in shock. She looked into his eyes to only find sincerity, and the loving nature that he always, well almost always, had towards her. "All is well," she finally blurted.
"Then why did you take such a long time to answer my question?"
"um.."
"Well, even though he is a Chinese gaki, and you think that he 'loves' you, well, you better be careful and good luck. I have a feeling that you'll need it."
With that he departed. Sakura gave a glance at the figure who was now happily chatting with the other person whom he deeply cherished and loved, Yukito. She then looked over Kero, who was looking in the same direction.
"We could be wrong Kero, we could be wrong," she sighed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
