~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~
(A/N: This is chap it going to have one of those lovely songs again. You know, the ones you just love. NOT!) Syaoran was in his office. Thoughts of Sakura kept on going through his head. His heart beat so loudly, the city of Dallas, TX almost heard it. And they were on the other side of the ocean! (A/N: It's just an expression. It didn't beat that loudly at all.) He still kept on having these feelings for Sakura. He was tired of not knowing what was going on. Syaoran decided he would call his dad.
*Ring, ring* Rang the phone. "Hello, Syaoran Technologies, Chairman Hyskito Li speaking. How may I help you?" came Hyskito's over the phone. "Konnichiwa, Otou-san," Syaoran said. "Oh, hi Syaoran, is there anything that you need?" Hyskito asked. "Hai. I need your advice," Syaoran replied. "Okay, tell me, what are you having problems with?" Hyskito asked. "Well you see, every time I'm around Saku-chan, I get this feeling. It's sort of this painful pleasure. My heart starts to beat REALLY loud; it also starts to beat a lot faster. My palms get all sweaty, heat starts to burn my face, and I start to stutter. And when she's not here, I keep on thinking about her and I want to see her so badly! What's going on?!" Syaoran confessed.
Hyskito just chuckled at his son's desperate attempt to tell someone his feelings. "Son, you know that thing you called a joke, a hoax, and useless? That's what's happening. Syaoran, your in love," Hyskito answered. *Click* Hyskito heard is son hang up. Hyskito looked over to the picture of his on his desk. "Yelan, what do you think of you future daughter in law? She's a great girl, ne? Not to mention she's really beautiful. I can't wait to see our future kawaii children!" Hyskito said to his wife. (A/N: Why do I have a feeling that he's met Tomoyo before?) The time Hyskito tried to confess to Yelan came to mind.
~*~*~Flash Back~*~*~
There was a full moon the sky shining brightly. A couple of stars could be spotted. Fireflies were dancing about with their lights burning. On the banks of the river sat the young lovebirds Hyskito and Yelan. Hyskito had set up a picnic for their date. This was it; he was going to pop the question.
"Umm… a… Yelan, umm… I w-wanted to s-say something to you," Hyskito stuttered nervously. "Is there something wrong Hyskito?" Yelan asked with a concerned look on her face. Hyskito couldn't help but smile. Yelan looked so beautiful in the moonlight. Her amber eyes sparkled with life and her lustrous, wavy black hair dropped passed her shoulders.
Hyskito gently took her and stood them both up. He knelt down and pulled out a blue velvet box and opened it. Yelan gasped at what she saw. "Yelan, ever since I've met you, it was love at first sight. My life was just black and white, but when you came in, it was filled with all of the colors of the rainbow. Yelan, will you make me the happiest man in the world and be mine? Will you marry me?" Hyskito asked. Yelan had tears of joy in her eyes. She knelt down with him and gave him a small but sweet kiss. "I take that as a yes?" Hyskito questioned. Yelan pulled him into hug and whispered, "yes," in his ear. "I love you," Hyskito said as he stroked his beloved's hair. The rest was history.
~*~*~End of Flash Back~*~*~
A single tear ran down Hyskito's cheek. He missed Yelan. ''If only you could comeback, even for one day. Syaoran has grown up to be very handsome man. He must have gotten it from me. Hopefully, you can see him from up there. Sakura-chan will make such a sweet daughter. You two would've gotten along very well," Hyskito said to the picture. He sighed and went back to work.
~~~~~~Later that Day~~~~~~
Syaoran had decided that he would confess to Sakura A.S.A.P. He called Sakura into his office. *Knock, knock* "Come in!" Syaoran said. Sakura came in. "Syao-kun, is there something you wanted to say?" Sakura asked. "Yes Sakura, umm… well… you see… e-ever s-since I *mumble, mumble* my heart *mumble* a-and I uhh… *mumble, mumble* I've b-been having t-these, t-these *mumble, mumble* m-my heart *mumble, mumble* Well do you get what I'm saying?" Syaoran asked exasperated.
"I'm afraid I don't. Syao-kun, I think I have to go. The new shipment order is due and I have to go take care of it. Ja!" Sakura said. Sakura left the room. 'Hey, at least she takes here work seriously,' Syaoran thought.
Syaoran sweat dropped as he saw Sakura run out of his office. 'Baka! I could've told her! But, NoOoO, I just HAD to stutter. If only I could tell you, Saku,' Syaoran thought.
~~~~~~After Dinner ~~~~~~
After dinner, Hyskito walked into the tiny library they had made. When he went in, he found a strange scene. Syaoran was turning the clock forward. "Syaoran, what are you doing?" Hyskito asked suspiciously. "Otou-san, this clock is too slow," Syaoran replied. "No, Syaoran it's right on time. Why are you in such a hurry?" Hyskito asked. "Dad, do you remember before, when I was a womanizer, how I just loved the night, ne? Well, now I just love daytime. I can't wait for it to be 6:00AM. That's when the sun rises. I just can't wait! I like greeting the sun, God, and everyone else," Syaoran replied. "
Hyskito chuckled. He couldn't believe it. The former world champion womanizer, Syaoran, was head over heels in love with just one girl. He was glad. "Syaoran it's late go to bed. You have to go to bed. Goodnight son," Hyskito said as he stroked Syaoran's chestnut locks. Syaoran left the room and went to bed.
~~~~~~Syaoran's bedroom~~~~~~
Syaoran had laid down and was staring at the ceiling for a while. Love was a feeling that he had never experienced before. Sure, he'd gotten love from his parents, his housekeepers and Fijo, but he'd never experienced the boy girl type love. He liked it. Soon his eyelids had gotten heavy and he couldn't stay up any longer. He drifted into a very nice sleep.
~~~~~~Syaoran's dream~~~~~~
(A/N: One of those lovely songs again!)
Syaoran found himself on a beautiful hill that over looked a sparkling lake. Next to him sat Sakura. He was dreaming that he was confessing to his beloved.
/Syaoran\
For the first time in my life,
My heart has beaten so fast,
I can never wait to see your face,
Your presence lit up my life,
When it was just a dark vast,
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love,
/Sakura\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love.
/Syaoran\
I barely get sleep all night,
Thoughts of you tease me all of the time,
I love knowing,
That you are mine.
/Sakura\
I'm staring to feel this pleasured pain,
Being with out you drives me insane,
Now I know what is the joining of the heart,
Now nothing will ever tear us apart.
Now nothing will tear us apart.
/Syaoran\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
/Sakura\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
/Sakura and Syaoran\
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love.
The sun was setting in the background and all you could see were Syaoran's and Sakura silhouettes. They were drawing closer and closer together. They're lips were only a few millimeters away, when Syaoran heard a familiar beeping sound in the background.
Syaoran realized that his alarm went off. Syaoran was ticked, BIG time. Sure it was a dream, but it was the best dream he had ever had! Syaoran gritted his teeth as he shut off the alarm. He went into the bathroom and did his morning duty. After he dried his hair, he changed. He came out wearing a black suit with a dark blue shirt underneath. His tie was black with white stripes on it. He wore black dress shoes along with it making him look very professional. (A/N: not to mention KAWAII!!)
When he walked into the kitchen he found Sakura cooking breakfast with Monty. "Good morning," Syaoran said. Sakura turned around and blushed. 'What's the heck is wrong with me? Why the heck am I blushing? It's just Syao-kun, but he's such sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo handsome! Okay stop thinking!' Sakura mentally slapped herself.
"Wow, Syao-kun! It's been a long time since I've seen you dress so… professional," Sakura commented. "Well, I'd rather dress casual, but we have a MAJOR meeting today with one of our partners," Syaoran replied. "Oh I see," Sakura replied. She was also dressed for work. She wore a black women's work suit with a lavender shirt underneath. Sakura and Syaoran got their stuff and headed out the door. They both got into the car and drove off.
~~~~~~In the car~~~~~~
Syaoran blushed when he thought about the other day. 'I'm such a baka! Instead of telling her how I feel, I just sit here, blushing like a fool,' Syaoran thought. "Syao-kun is something wrong?" Sakura asked. "Oh… umm… nothing!" Syaoran replied still blushing. The rest of the car ride was silent. The only thing that made a sound was the radio.
~~~~~~Work~~~~~~
Sakura got bored and she was already done with her work, so she decided to call Tomoyo since she hadn't called her in a while. "Hello, Hiragazawa residence. This is Hiragazawa Tomoyo speaking," (A/N: Don't u just luv that name?) came a voice over the phone. "Konnichawa, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said. "SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad to here from you! It's been such a long time!!" Tomoyo squealed over the phone. "Calm down Tomoyo-chan! I missed you too," Sakura said giggling. "So is there any news?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo blushed at the question. "Umm… Eriol and I came back from our honeymoon a couple of days ago. And…Impregnant!" Tomoyo replied. "What? I didn't her you well," Sakura said. "I'm pregnant. I'm about to have a baby soon," Tomoyo replied slowly this time.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! TOMOYO-CHAN THIS IS GREAT NEWS!! I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura squealed. "Calm down Sakura-chan. Hey, at least your reaction was less…jumpy than Eriol's. You should have seen him! I couldn't get him to calm down for a whole week!" Tomoyo said chuckling. "I'm sure the baby will be gorgeous! I can just imagine it right now. The baby will have blue hair and amethyst eyes. I can't wait to see the baby!" Sakura squealed. "I know. Sakura-chan, I hope you don't mind, but what ever happened to you after you ran away?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, I went to visit Yamasaki's parents and they didn't approve of me and so Yamasaki left me," Sakura replied. "Well, what happened next? Where are you now?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, thank goodness Syao-kun was there. He saw me in the situation I was and he offered to help. Now I'm staying with him," Sakura replied. "Syao-kun? Who's that?" Tomoyo questioned. "Syao-kun us my nickname for Li Syaoran,"
Tomoyo gasped. "Isn't Syaoran Li like a player/womanizer or something?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, he was, but I don't know. After spending such a long time with him, I've gotten to see the other side of him, the really sweet and caring side. I don't know why, but it's like, when he's around, nothing's worrying me… well nothing except for my heart. It starts to beat really fast," Sakura said. "Sakura-chan… I think you fallen for him," Tomoyo said. "Hoe?!" Sakura answered. "Yes, you have. To tell you the truth, when I first met Eriol, the same thing happened to me, even though I knew that he was YOUR fiancé. Now, I'm the happiest woman alive!" Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled at her sister's comment. She knew that Tomoyo was happy as ever. "Tomoyo, I'm going to get some ice cream. Do you want to come?" came Eriol's voice from the background. "Sakura-chan, I loved talking to you but there's a big bowl of ice cream at the parlor with my name on it. I'm going. Do you think we can meet sometime?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, I'm busy this week, but maybe we can meet next Tuesday. Let's set up a picnic. I'll bring Syaoran too," Sakura said. "That sounds wonderful. I have to go. Ja!" Tomoyo said. "Ja!" Sakura replied back. They both hung up. Sakura was happy that she had cleared the distance between her and Tomoyo. Now, she only had to clear the distance between her and her mother.
~~~~~~That Night~~~~~~
"Umm… Otou-san, you know how I start getting these-" Syaoran started before he got cut off by Hyskito. "Feelings that you can't explain and you heart starts to go wild when you're around Sakura-chan. Yes, I know Syaoran. It's called LOVE. L-O-V-E. Love!" Hyskito said. Syaoran blushed many shades of red. "Well, if this is love, then I'm in love with love. The problem is, I can't tell her. Umm… Otou-san, can YOU please tell her for me?" Syaoran asked. "NO! No Syaoran. I'm not telling her. Couldn't you find someone else to tell her? How 'bout your self?" Hyskito protested. "Dad, PLEASE?" Syaoran continued to plead. "Fine, fine, I'll do it," Hyskito said. "YES!!" Syaoran yelped.
~~~~~~By Sakura's Room~~~~~~
Syaoran practically pushed his father all the way to Sakura's room. * Knock, knock * Syaoran knocked on the door. Sakura opened the door. "Yes?" Sakura asked. "Saku-chan, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for the last couple of days. Since it never comes out right, my Otou-san will tell you," Syaoran said. Then he walked off. "Sakura-chan, do you mind if we go into the study?" Hyskito asked. "No, not at all," Sakura replied.
~~~~~~Study~~~~~~
Sakura and Hyskito had already sat down. "Sakura-chan, you've really helped change Syaoran for the better. We really appreciate that. Well now, Syaoran's actually considering marriage and he's already chosen the girl," Hyskito said. "That's great news," Sakura replied. "But the problem is, this girl know everything about him. Even his past and how he was back then," Hysk"It doesn't make a difference. If she knows everything about him, she also knows his good side, his sweet and caring one. All a girl wants from her partner is there love and his life time support," Sakura said. "What if I put it this way, Sakura-chan, if you were that girl, would you marry him?" Hyskito asked. Sakura blushed and answered "yes." "So you don't see anything bad about him?" Hyskito asked. "Of course not," Sakura answered. "Well Sakura-chan, to tell you the truth, you are that girl," Hyskito said. Sakura was overwhelmed. She was happy as happy could be, but she was a little disappointed that Syaoran didn't tell her himself. "So Sakura-chan, what's your answer?" Hyskito asked. "My answer is still the same," Sakura replied blushing.
"Sakura-chan, when you said 'support' you meant his money right?" Hyskito asked. (A/N: Ooh… the plot thickens.) "No, why do you think that?" Sakura asked suspiciously. "Well, any girl in your condition would jump at the chance to marry one of the richest men in Tokyo./99 Your parents aren't with you; you have nowhere to go, and your only job is here. I'm mean c'mon, what girl wouldn't want the chance of being filthy rich?" Hyskito stated. Sakura got furious! How dare he talk to her like that?
"Li-san, if I wanted money, I would've taken it when Syaoran-kun offered me a whole fistful of money. If that's what you thought of me, you were wrong. I don't need to marry Syaoran to make money," Sakura clarified. "Now, now Sakura-chan, let's not make any wrong decisions in anger. I just said what a protective dad would say," Hyskito said. "And I just said what a woman with dignity would say," Sakura replied. "Well, if you leave, where will you go? You can't stand a chance out there. You stayed here because you had nowhere to go," Hyskito said. "Li-san, I stayed here because you guys provided me with a family. I didn't leave because I knew that it would hurt Syaoran's feelings. Life is a train, this period of time is a component, and we are just passengers. My stop has come and I will have to leave. It is not necessary to say goodbye to everyone," Sakura said. "Okay, whatever you say," Hyskito replied. Soon he walked out the door. Sakura took her suitcase and went out too.
~~~~~~After they left the study~~~~~~
(A/N: Okay, by now, yall are probably making plans to kill me since yall hate me so much.) Hyskito walked out of the study and climbed down stairs to the living room. Syaoran quickly rushed over to him. "Did you tell her?! What did she say?!" Syaoran asked. "Do I have to tell you that? Why don't you ask her yourself? There she is right now," Hyskito said pointing up the stairs. Syaoran rushed over to Sakura. He noticed that she didn't look so happy and that she had her suitcase.
"Saku-chan, I've been wanting to tell this for a long time now and I really hope that you'll say yes," Syaoran said. Sakura didn't say anything. "Saku- chan, is something wrong?" Syaoran asked. Sakura didn't answer. "Saku-chan, is there something wrong? Please tell me!" Syaoran pleaded. Still no answer. "Sakura-chan, if you don't want to marry me… it's okay. You don't have to. Can we still be friends?" Syaoran asked. Nor did Sakura look at him nor did she say anything. "Sakura-chan, was it something my dad said?" Syaoran asked. Sakura turned and faced him. Her eyes were her full of anger. Immediately, Syaoran knew that something went wrong.
Syaoran quickly ran outside to where Hyskito was. "Otou-san, what did you say to Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asked. "I told her that you wanted to marry her," Hyskito replied. "What ELSE did you say to her?" Syaoran asked. "I also told her that she wanted to marry you for the money," Hyskito said. "YOU DID WHAT?!" Syaoran yelled. He quickly ran back to the mansion and to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, I'm really sorry for what Otou-san said to you. I really hope you can forgive my dad for his VERY idiotic mistake. He didn't really mean it," Syaoran tried to explain to Sakura. Sakura still didn't respond. "Sakura-chan, I'll even prove it to you," Syaoran tried to reassure Sakura. He dashed back outside to Hyskito.
"OTOU-SAN, you HAVE to apologize to Sakura-chan right now! AND I MEAN NOW!" Syaoran started to yell. "Syaoran, I don't have to do anything if I don't want to," Hyskito replied in a calm voice. "But you hurt her feelings!" Syaoran protested. "I only said what I thought. I will not apologize," Hyskito replied. "If you don't…I'll… I'll… runaway!" Syaoran threatened. "Syaoran, you can't live without luxury, you can't sleep without air- conditioning, and you can't live without food," Hyskito said. "THAT IS NOT TRUE!" Syaoran said.
At that moment Fijo came in. Apparently, he had heard most of the conversation. "Fijo-san, look what Otou-san is saying!" Syaoran said to Fijo. "Remember the time we stayed at Monty's mother's house? Didn't stay without luxury? When the electricity went out, didn't I sleep with out the A/C? And I got mad at yall for something, didn't I not eat for 3 whole days?" Syaoran pleaded. Fijo didn't say a word. "Well Otou-san, I'm leaving and it's all your fault," Syaoran said. "What's wrong with you Syaoran? When you're drunk you say the right things and when you're sober you say stupid things," Hyskito commented.
Syaoran just turned around and started running towards the mansion. Tears were streaming down his face. When he got in, he looked for Sakura but he only found Monty. "Where's Sakura-chan?! Didn't I tell you to not let her go anywhere?" Syaoran asked frantically. "Sorry sir. We tried to stop her but she wouldn't let us. She already left," Monty replied. "WHAT?!" Syaoran yelled.
Syaoran started running out the door as fast as possible. He stopped when he saw Hyskito. "I hope you're happy," Syaoran said before he left to chase after Sakura.
~~~~~~After Running All Around Tokyo~~~~~~
Syaoran finally stopped at a bus stop where he saw Sakura. "Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!" Syaoran started to yell. Sakura didn't bother to turn and look. He ran over there. When he stopped he couldn't say anything since he was trying to catch his breath. "Sakura-chan, please talk to me. Please!" Syaoran said. Sakura still didn't look. Anger and rage were written all over her face. "Sakura-chan, I've given up everything to be with you. It's okay if you don't forgive my dad. I've left him. I don't need them any more," Syaoran pleaded. Sakura turned around and looked him straight in the eye and said,
"And you are?"
To Be Continued.

Syaoran had laid down and was staring at the ceiling for a while. Love was a feeling that he had never experienced before. Sure, he'd gotten love from his parents, his housekeepers and Fijo, but he'd never experienced the boy girl type love. He liked it. Soon his eyelids had gotten heavy and he couldn't stay up any longer. He drifted into a very nice sleep.
~~~~~~Syaoran's dream~~~~~~
(A/N: One of those lovely songs again!)
Syaoran found himself on a beautiful hill that over looked a sparkling lake. Next to him sat Sakura. He was dreaming that he was confessing to his beloved.
/Syaoran\
For the first time in my life,
My heart has beaten so fast,
I can never wait to see your face,
Your presence lit up my life,
When it was just a dark vast,
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love,
/Sakura\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love.
/Syaoran\
I barely get sleep all night,
Thoughts of you tease me all of the time,
I love knowing,
That you are mine.
/Sakura\
I'm staring to feel this pleasured pain,
Being with out you drives me insane,
Now I know what is the joining of the heart,
Now nothing will ever tear us apart.
Now nothing will tear us apart.
/Syaoran\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
/Sakura\
For the first time in my life,
I'm experiencing this pleasure,
I believe it is fate,
That brought us together,
It's very hard to wait,
For the day we will be one,
/Sakura and Syaoran\
I think I'm in love,
I think I'm in love.
The sun was setting in the background and all you could see were Syaoran's and Sakura silhouettes. They were drawing closer and closer together. They're lips were only a few millimeters away, when Syaoran heard a familiar beeping sound in the background.
Syaoran realized that his alarm went off. Syaoran was ticked, BIG time. Sure it was a dream, but it was the best dream he had ever had! Syaoran gritted his teeth as he shut off the alarm. He went into the bathroom and did his morning duty. After he dried his hair, he changed. He came out wearing a black suit with a dark blue shirt underneath. His tie was black with white stripes on it. He wore black dress shoes along with it making him look very professional. (A/N: not to mention KAWAII!!)
When he walked into the kitchen he found Sakura cooking breakfast with Monty. "Good morning," Syaoran said. Sakura turned around and blushed. 'What's the heck is wrong with me? Why the heck am I blushing? It's just Syao-kun, but he's such sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo handsome! Okay stop thinking!' Sakura mentally slapped herself.
"Wow, Syao-kun! It's been a long time since I've seen you dress so… professional," Sakura commented. "Well, I'd rather dress casual, but we have a MAJOR meeting today with one of our partners," Syaoran replied. "Oh I see," Sakura replied. She was also dressed for work. She wore a black women's work suit with a lavender shirt underneath. Sakura and Syaoran got their stuff and headed out the door. They both got into the car and drove off.
~~~~~~In the car~~~~~~
Syaoran blushed when he thought about the other day. 'I'm such a baka! Instead of telling her how I feel, I just sit here, blushing like a fool,' Syaoran thought. "Syao-kun is something wrong?" Sakura asked. "Oh… umm… nothing!" Syaoran replied still blushing. The rest of the car ride was silent. The only thing that made a sound was the radio.
~~~~~~Work~~~~~~
Sakura got bored and she was already done with her work, so she decided to call Tomoyo since she hadn't called her in a while. "Hello, Hiragazawa residence. This is Hiragazawa Tomoyo speaking," (A/N: Don't u just luv that name?) came a voice over the phone. "Konnichawa, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said. "SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad to here from you! It's been such a long time!!" Tomoyo squealed over the phone. "Calm down Tomoyo-chan! I missed you too," Sakura said giggling. "So is there any news?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo blushed at the question. "Umm… Eriol and I came back from our honeymoon a couple of days ago. And…Impregnant!" Tomoyo replied. "What? I didn't her you well," Sakura said. "I'm pregnant. I'm about to have a baby soon," Tomoyo replied slowly this time.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! TOMOYO-CHAN THIS IS GREAT NEWS!! I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura squealed. "Calm down Sakura-chan. Hey, at least your reaction was less…jumpy than Eriol's. You should have seen him! I couldn't get him to calm down for a whole week!" Tomoyo said chuckling. "I'm sure the baby will be gorgeous! I can just imagine it right now. The baby will have blue hair and amethyst eyes. I can't wait to see the baby!" Sakura squealed. "I know. Sakura-chan, I hope you don't mind, but what ever happened to you after you ran away?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, I went to visit Yamasaki's parents and they didn't approve of me and so Yamasaki left me," Sakura replied. "Well, what happened next? Where are you now?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, thank goodness Syao-kun was there. He saw me in the situation I was and he offered to help. Now I'm staying with him," Sakura replied. "Syao-kun? Who's that?" Tomoyo questioned. "Syao-kun us my nickname for Li Syaoran,"
Tomoyo gasped. "Isn't Syaoran Li like a player/womanizer or something?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, he was, but I don't know. After spending such a long time with him, I've gotten to see the other side of him, the really sweet and caring side. I don't know why, but it's like, when he's around, nothing's worrying me… well nothing except for my heart. It starts to beat really fast," Sakura said. "Sakura-chan… I think you fallen for him," Tomoyo said. "Hoe?!" Sakura answered. "Yes, you have. To tell you the truth, when I first met Eriol, the same thing happened to me, even though I knew that he was YOUR fiancé. Now, I'm the happiest woman alive!" Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled at her sister's comment. She knew that Tomoyo was happy as ever. "Tomoyo, I'm going to get some ice cream. Do you want to come?" came Eriol's voice from the background. "Sakura-chan, I loved talking to you but there's a big bowl of ice cream at the parlor with my name on it. I'm going. Do you think we can meet sometime?" Tomoyo asked. "Well, I'm busy this week, but maybe we can meet next Tuesday. Let's set up a picnic. I'll bring Syaoran too," Sakura said. "That sounds wonderful. I have to go. Ja!" Tomoyo said. "Ja!" Sakura replied back. They both hung up. Sakura was happy that she had cleared the distance between her and Tomoyo. Now, she only had to clear the distance between her and her mother.
~~~~~~That Night~~~~~~
"Umm… Otou-san, you know how I start getting these-" Syaoran started before he got cut off by Hyskito. "Feelings that you can't explain and you heart starts to go wild when you're around Sakura-chan. Yes, I know Syaoran. It's called LOVE. L-O-V-E. Love!" Hyskito said. Syaoran blushed many shades of red. "Well, if this is love, then I'm in love with love. The problem is, I can't tell her. Umm… Otou-san, can YOU please tell her for me?" Syaoran asked. "NO! No Syaoran. I'm not telling her. Couldn't you find someone else to tell her? How 'bout your self?" Hyskito protested. "Dad, PLEASE?" Syaoran continued to plead. "Fine, fine, I'll do it," Hyskito said. "YES!!" Syaoran yelped.
~~~~~~By Sakura's Room~~~~~~
Syaoran practically pushed his father all the way to Sakura's room. * Knock, knock * Syaoran knocked on the door. Sakura opened the door. "Yes?" Sakura asked. "Saku-chan, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for the last couple of days. Since it never comes out right, my Otou-san will tell you," Syaoran said. Then he walked off. "Sakura-chan, do you mind if we go into the study?" Hyskito asked. "No, not at all," Sakura replied.
~~~~~~Study~~~~~~
Sakura and Hyskito had already sat down. "Sakura-chan, you've really helped change Syaoran for the better. We really appreciate that. Well now, Syaoran's actually considering marriage and he's already chosen the girl," Hyskito said. "That's great news," Sakura replied. "But the problem is, this girl know everything about him. Even his past and how he was back then," Hysk"It doesn't make a difference. If she knows everything about him, she also knows his good side, his sweet and caring one. All a girl wants from her partner is there love and his life time support," Sakura said. "What if I put it this way, Sakura-chan, if you were that girl, would you marry him?" Hyskito asked. Sakura blushed and answered "yes." "So you don't see anything bad about him?" Hyskito asked. "Of course not," Sakura answered. "Well Sakura-chan, to tell you the truth, you are that girl," Hyskito said. Sakura was overwhelmed. She was happy as happy could be, but she was a little disappointed that Syaoran didn't tell her himself. "So Sakura-chan, what's your answer?" Hyskito asked. "My answer is still the same," Sakura replied blushing.
"Sakura-chan, when you said 'support' you meant his money right?" Hyskito asked. (A/N: Ooh… the plot thickens.) "No, why do you think that?" Sakura asked suspiciously. "Well, any girl in your condition would jump at the chance to marry one of the richest men in Tokyo./99 Your parents aren't with you; you have nowhere to go, and your only job is here. I'm mean c'mon, what girl wouldn't want the chance of being filthy rich?" Hyskito stated. Sakura got furious! How dare he talk to her like that?
"Li-san, if I wanted money, I would've taken it when Syaoran-kun offered me a whole fistful of money. If that's what you thought of me, you were wrong. I don't need to marry Syaoran to make money," Sakura clarified. "Now, now Sakura-chan, let's not make any wrong decisions in anger. I just said what a protective dad would say," Hyskito said. "And I just said what a woman with dignity would say," Sakura replied. "Well, if you leave, where will you go? You can't stand a chance out there. You stayed here because you had nowhere to go," Hyskito said. "Li-san, I stayed here because you guys provided me with a family. I didn't leave because I knew that it would hurt Syaoran's feelings. Life is a train, this period of time is a component, and we are just passengers. My stop has come and I will have to leave. It is not necessary to say goodbye to everyone," Sakura said. "Okay, whatever you say," Hyskito replied. Soon he walked out the door. Sakura took her suitcase and went out too.
~~~~~~After they left the study~~~~~~
(A/N: Okay, by now, yall are probably making plans to kill me since yall hate me so much.) Hyskito walked out of the study and climbed down stairs to the living room. Syaoran quickly rushed over to him. "Did you tell her?! What did she say?!" Syaoran asked. "Do I have to tell you that? Why don't you ask her yourself? There she is right now," Hyskito said pointing up the stairs. Syaoran rushed over to Sakura. He noticed that she didn't look so happy and that she had her suitcase.
"Saku-chan, I've been wanting to tell this for a long time now and I really hope that you'll say yes," Syaoran said. Sakura didn't say anything. "Saku- chan, is something wrong?" Syaoran asked. Sakura didn't answer. "Saku-chan, is there something wrong? Please tell me!" Syaoran pleaded. Still no answer. "Sakura-chan, if you don't want to marry me… it's okay. You don't have to. Can we still be friends?" Syaoran asked. Nor did Sakura look at him nor did she say anything. "Sakura-chan, was it something my dad said?" Syaoran asked. Sakura turned and faced him. Her eyes were her full of anger. Immediately, Syaoran knew that something went wrong.
Syaoran quickly ran outside to where Hyskito was. "Otou-san, what did you say to Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asked. "I told her that you wanted to marry her," Hyskito replied. "What ELSE did you say to her?" Syaoran asked. "I also told her that she wanted to marry you for the money," Hyskito said. "YOU DID WHAT?!" Syaoran yelled. He quickly ran back to the mansion and to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, I'm really sorry for what Otou-san said to you. I really hope you can forgive my dad for his VERY idiotic mistake. He didn't really mean it," Syaoran tried to explain to Sakura. Sakura still didn't respond. "Sakura-chan, I'll even prove it to you," Syaoran tried to reassure Sakura. He dashed back outside to Hyskito.
"OTOU-SAN, you HAVE to apologize to Sakura-chan right now! AND I MEAN NOW!" Syaoran started to yell. "Syaoran, I don't have to do anything if I don't want to," Hyskito replied in a calm voice. "But you hurt her feelings!" Syaoran protested. "I only said what I thought. I will not apologize," Hyskito replied. "If you don't…I'll… I'll… runaway!" Syaoran threatened. "Syaoran, you can't live without luxury, you can't sleep without air- conditioning, and you can't live without food," Hyskito said. "THAT IS NOT TRUE!" Syaoran said.
At that moment Fijo came in. Apparently, he had heard most of the conversation. "Fijo-san, look what Otou-san is saying!" Syaoran said to Fijo. "Remember the time we stayed at Monty's mother's house? Didn't stay without luxury? When the electricity went out, didn't I sleep with out the A/C? And I got mad at yall for something, didn't I not eat for 3 whole days?" Syaoran pleaded. Fijo didn't say a word. "Well Otou-san, I'm leaving and it's all your fault," Syaoran said. "What's wrong with you Syaoran? When you're drunk you say the right things and when you're sober you say stupid things," Hyskito commented.
Syaoran just turned around and started running towards the mansion. Tears were streaming down his face. When he got in, he looked for Sakura but he only found Monty. "Where's Sakura-chan?! Didn't I tell you to not let her go anywhere?" Syaoran asked frantically. "Sorry sir. We tried to stop her but she wouldn't let us. She already left," Monty replied. "WHAT?!" Syaoran yelled.
Syaoran started running out the door as fast as possible. He stopped when he saw Hyskito. "I hope you're happy," Syaoran said before he left to chase after Sakura.
~~~~~~After Running All Around Tokyo~~~~~~
Syaoran finally stopped at a bus stop where he saw Sakura. "Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!" Syaoran started to yell. Sakura didn't bother to turn and look. He ran over there. When he stopped he couldn't say anything since he was trying to catch his breath. "Sakura-chan, please talk to me. Please!" Syaoran said. Sakura still didn't look. Anger and rage were written all over her face. "Sakura-chan, I've given up everything to be with you. It's okay if you don't forgive my dad. I've left him. I don't need them any more," Syaoran pleaded. Sakura turned around and looked him straight in the eye and said,
"And you are?"
To Be Continued.
