Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay but I had to do my schoolwork, test are piling up and finals are soon. Teachers are cramming me with a lot of work and I'm having a bit of trouble coping. Oh well….. Here's the story!
Finding Him- Part 8
Syaoran could not contain his excitement and happiness as he hugged his beloved cherry blossom. He knew nothing could stop him from being happy. Nothing at all… Then he remembered something.
Syaoran spoke softly and gently in to Sakura's hair.
"Sakura there is something I need to talk to you about. It's the clan elders…"
"Hoe?" Sakura reluctantly pulls out of the embrace and looks at Syaoran. "What about them?"
Syaoran sighed and finally told her what they had said to him.
"They want to meet you… to make sure you are suitable for… suitable…" He could not get the words out of his mouth.
Sakura gently touched the side of his face, "To make sure I am a suitable wife?" she supplied. She watched Syaoran nodded, ashamed that he would have to put his future wife through this.
"Syaoran, what will happen if they don't like me? What if I don't meet their expectations? What will happen?"
The young man hugged his precious cherry blossom and spoke into her hair. "Don't worry Sakura, the clan elders don't expect a special girl like you, and Meiling and I will make sure they will accept you."
Sakura gave Syaoran a skeptical look. "Are you sure? What if they won't accept me because I don't have a lot of magic or maybe that I'm not part of your clan?"
Syaoran smiled. "Don't worry Sakura. You have a lot of magic, more than me or any of the clan leaders. You are also the Clow Card Mistress. The clan leaders can't say anything bad about that. Also, your father is half of the reincarnation of Clow Reed, the founder of the Li clan, so, you could be consider part of the clan."
Sakura stared at him with wide eyes. "So you're saying they can't deny me because I have the Clow Cards and because of my father?" She watched Syaoran nod gravely and she hugged him tightly. She would stay with her beloved and nothing could ever separate them.
Sakura watched as Syaoran slowly dipped his head to do something that he had wanted to do for so long. Sakura slowly tiptoed up and met his lips.

~Meanwhile~
Syaoran's older sister slowly tramped through the house with her three little sisters and Kero following her.
All at once, the four Li sister sighed.
"I can't believe he caught us," said the second sister.
"We didn't even get a picture of little brother and his darling cherry blossom kissing."
Once again, they all sighed simultaneously. All except Kero, who was happy that the two cardcaptors were not kissing because if they were, that brat boy would be in BIG trouble.
They continued to walk down the hall in sorrow when the heard a gasp and a squeal. They five former spies peeped into the television room.
Inside sat a very shocked Meiling, a horrified mother, and a hungry Yukito.
"Meiling, don't be so loud! They might hear you!"
The Li sisters watched their mother scold Meiling and then turn her attention back to the television they were so engrossed with.
The sisters look at each other and then at the TV. They walked inside and look at the screen. On it was the cherry blossom Sakura and the little wolf, Syaoran.
"AHH! What did you do! How did you manage to get this! When was this?" They all bombard the people in the room with questions as Kero stared blankly at the screen.
Their mother chuckled as she calmly answered their questions. "Meiling and I set up a camera in the garden before they went out and we waited. This is what is going on now and you need to be quiet so we can hear…"
She was interrupted by Kero's yell! "AHHH!!! What is he doing!"
Five pairs of heads turned toward the television screen. On it were two lovers kissing.
The four girls squealed and the oldest whipped out her camera and proceed to take pictures.
Meiling saw her and went up to her. She tapped her shoulder and said, "Umm, cousin, we ARE recording this on tape so you don't have to take pictures of the TV screen."
The young woman sheepishly lowered her camera and said, "I just got caught up in the moment and anyway, I like to have pictures too."
Meiling sighed and surveyed the room. Her four cousins stared dreamily at the television screen. Her aunt looked at in a dreamy fashion but it contained an air of seriousness and thoughtfulness. Kero looked horrified and looked as if he was ready to kill Syaoran. He was also yelling at the TV screen. Yukito watched in interest as he continue to eat from a bowl of popcorn and muttered under his breath, "Touya should see this."
It looked like there was only one person who felt sad when she saw the screen. Meiling breathed a sigh and knew she couldn't do anything but think of what to tell the clan elders. She had pushed Syaoran to go after Sakura, perhaps more than anyone else and now he found his beloved. And now, she was left with no one. A silent tear traveled down the face and Meiling pushed it away. 'I will not cry. Soon Syaoran will have his wife and I should be happy for him. Kinomoto has always been kind to me and she is my friend. I have no reason to hate her or be envious of her but why is there this feeling of dread in my heart. It feels like things might not go as planned…'
