A : Hi, guys! Sorry that I didn't update in a few days, I had tons of schoolwork over the days. I'll try to update faster, k?
Kiyone: Gee, how many days has it been?
azngurL: ¬_¬ Shut up. No one cares . . . I think.
Kero: *eating takoyaki*, yup no one cares.
azngurL: Haha! Even Kero-chan is on my side!
Kiyone: That's only because you gave him the stupid takoyaki.
azngurL: I could bribe him if I wanted to.
Kiyone: Whatever. Anyway, the last question was, What was the name of the evil Card in the second movie? It could either had three names, people, but it doesn't include the final form, Hope.
Kero: The answer is The Void/Nothing/Emptiness! And indeed, I did look so cool in that movie.
azngurL: That movie was so kawaii! But I think I prefer the first one better . . Don't ask why, *sweatdrop*, kedo (but) ! Syaoran-kun kawaii desu wa!
Kiyone, Kero: Oh God.

Chapter Fourteen ~ Suki Dai Yo, Part Two
by, azngurL
The time for the grand party' came, and Sakura sifted through Fuutie's wardrobe. When she finally decided on what to wear, she picked a dark blue, short dress. It was sleeveless, perfect for the time of the month (August). "I hope Fuutie won't get mad that I'm wearing something that's hers...I kinda wish that I could wear something of my own, this doesn't really feel right. I wonder if Syaoran even saw Fuutie wear this dress." Sakura thought while looking at her reflection in a mirror.
She sighed. "Oh well. Alright, Sakura, time to impress Syaoran!" She exclaimed to herself as she walked out of the door.
Syaoran, who was waiting on the other side of the door, was wearing a casual kind of suit, but it had its formal' ways. No one knew he was attending this party, and thank goodness for him that his mother or any of his relatives weren't attending this party.
"Syaoran . . . ?" Sakura asked as she stepped out. "Does it . . . look okay?"
Syaoran turned around and smiled. "It looks beautiful, Sakura," He said while offering his hand. "I never knew my sister had such nice clothes . . . that looks good on you. Let's go?" He asked.
Sakura blushed and took his hand. They both interlocked, and began walking to the elevator.
¤¤"Ah, so nice! So elegant!" Sakura exclaimed as she came to the ballroom. The ballroom was full of laughter, music, everything. Many couples were dancing, many people of all ages were there—it was perfect. "Everything looks so nice!"
"Of course. This hotel has a speciality for doing this kind of stuff. Let's get a table," He said as he started to walk, but Sakura nudged him. "What?" He asked.
"I was thinking if we could eat out there," Sakura said while looking at the opening going outside, where are people were. "The moon's out tonight, and it's really warm. Please?" She asked.
"Sure." He said as he started to head outside with her.
As they got outside, they found a table for two and settled down. Sakura looked around the area. Everything outside was beautiful. There was a small bridge over a river a little bit far from where they were, flowers along a pathway which looked like small light bulbs lighting a path, and music was in the air. The moon was halfway full, and its radiant moonlight shimmered in the sky.
"I never knew that it could be so beautiful at night." She commented while looking at the stars sparkling in the night.
He smiled as he watched her look at everything with such awe. "Are you hungry?" He asked.
She turned his gaze to him. "Not really . . . Why, are you?" She asked.
"Not really, either." He replied.
"Let's just order dessert then . . . ," She called over a waiter and ordered themselves a large parfait. "Thanks," She said as she turned her gaze back to him. "Do you mind . . . if you and I share?" She asked.
He blushed, a dark crimson red. "N-no." He stammered.
She smiled. "You're so willing, but I could tell that you are also reluctant," She tilted her head down. "Are you always . . . that nervous around me? I can't really tell." She asked while staring at her reflection on the glass table.
"I'm not nervous . . . , Sakura. I'm not, it's just . . . You always act like . . . Like you're really in love with me." He confessed.
"Hoe?" She asked herself as she turned red. But then she smiled faintly. "I. . . I see . . .You think that, huh? I guess. . . you could put it that way." She said.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I'll tell you later . . . after we eat." She said as the waiter suddenly came and placed the large parfait on the table.
"Happy eating." The waiter said while bowing his head and leaving.
"Hey, it's the couple!" Tian suddenly screamed as he entered into scene. He was wearing khakis and a white polo. He also held a camera.
"A camera, Mr. Wu?" Sakura asked.
"Aw, you can just call me Tian, Sakura," Tian said while rubbing his head. "And yeah, this is my camera. Photography is my past time."
"Cool!" Sakura exclaimed.
Tian chuckled. "Yeah, and I was wondering, um, Sakura, if I could take your picture?" He asked, nervously.
"Hoe? My picture? Why?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, cause . . Um . . I just want it, that's all. Um . . It's a project that I'm working on." Tian lied.
Syaoran shot Tian a look, a dirty look. He sighed and sweatdropped, then told Sakura, "Go ahead, fill his little ego, Sakura."
"Um, okay, I guess," Sakura said while standing up. "Where do you want me?" She asked.
Tian looked around the area and noticed a grassy area. Over there, the moon's light is just perfect," Tian said while walking towards the grassy and deserted ground. Sakura followed him, while Syaoran stayed at the table. "I'll promise to show it to ya, I know where the Li family mansion is any-who," Tian said while watching her sit down.
He looked around, and made sure the moon was shining exactly on her, then found a pink and white rose flower, then gave it to her. "Hold this." He said.
Sakura held the rose closely to her and smelled its scent. As she did that, Tian found a chair and stood on top of it. He put a mirror on her lap, and got his camera ready. "Alright, Sakura. This'll be a close-up, so I want you to slightly pull your hair back with your right arm over your ear, and hold the rose up to you with your left. Don't look at me, just look at the rose, and act natural, kay?"
"Alright," Sakura slightly pulled back her hair on her right ear, and kept her hand there as she raised her left hand close to her face. She looked at it, and her eyes were sparkling.
"One . . . two . . ," Tian counted as he focused it. "Three!" He shouted as he took the picture. "Perfect, Sakura! That was good! Thank you!" Tian said as he took the mirror back. "I'll show you the picture once I get it developed." He said, winking at her.
Sakura smiled and bowed. "Thank you!" She exclaimed as she walked back to the table. Tian followed.
"So how was it?" Syaoran asked.
"I think it turned out really nice." Sakura said.
"You should've been there, man, she looked so damn pretty." Tian said, willingly.
Sakura blushed and turned her gaze away.
"Geez, you're such a player, Tian. Why don't you leave now?" Syaoran asked.
"Sheesh, you're a hard one. Just trying to be fun. But anyway, I should be going. I'm gonna come by anytime and show you this picture, okay? Bye!" Tian walked away.
Syaoran smiled. "Bye, Tian." He whispered.
Sakura giggled. "You and he are real best friends, huh?" She asked.
"Yeah, you can say that. I grew up with him," Syaoran said. "In any case, we should eat this parfait before it melts."
"Kay." Sakura said.
Then they ate the parfait.
After their small meal, they went outside to the small bridge over the river and Sakura rested her arms on the ledge. Then she hesitantly said, "Syaoran. . . I told you I loved you before. But. . . whatever happened before, it doesn't matter anymore. I love you very much, and will always love you, but what I wanna know is . . . will you love me too?"
He remained silent and watched the water flow. "You're worried . . . because of the past? Because of Ai-Yung . . . and all that has happened?" He asked.
"It's not Ai-Yung's fault. I understood how she felt that night. I mean, what everything has happened, to prevent the both of us to love each other . . . " She whispered.
He smiled faintly. "Sakura . . .You know that, I'll always love you. I'm just waiting for you to tell me what you told me before."
She looked at him. "Wo ai ni (Chinese - I love you). . ., Syaoran. Always . . . always, and forever," She whispered. "Will you . . . love me too?" She asked again.
"Of course, Sakura . . . I will always . . . love you too." He said while taking her in his arms.
They embraced, then kissed each other. A passionate kiss, with nothing holding them back. With nothing to stop them. As they broke away, Sakura started to cry, but with a smile on her face.
"Will you . . . help me with my dream . . . , Syaoran?" She asked softly.
"You know I will." He answered.
Smiling through her tears, she looked at the moon. "I wanna fly . . . I wanna fly to the moon. It may sound silly, but . . . do you think . . . it could happen? If I really wish for it . . . do you think it can?" She asked.
He smiled and put his arms around her. "I'll do whatever I can . . . to make that come true. You just gotta keep believing in it, Sakura. You know I'd do anything for you . . . "
"But . . . it's impossible, even you know that . . . It sounds kinda stupid, but I really want to." She said.
"Sakura, anything's possible. Like I said, just keeping reaching for it and believing. It'll come true . . . Don't you believe in magic?" He asked.
"Magic . . . ?" She asked.
"Yeah . . . " He replied.
"I guess I do . . . I guess magic is required to fly, huh?" She asked.
"Magic is everywhere, anything is possible. Remember that." He said as she looked at him.
Her tears fells and she held on to him. "My other dream . . . is to have a family . . . with the person I love. Do you think . . . that can happen too?" She asked, softly.
"Of course it can. Dreams. . . Fantasies . . . They can always come true. But my dream . . . I know that it'll come true soon." He said as she turned to look at him.
She leaned on his chest and he held on to her tightly. "Thank you." She whispered.
During the night, as the party ended, they both made their way back. Before they went inside their own rooms, Syaoran stopped her, and he opened his door. She looked up at him, and they kissed yet again, not breaking away. As they slowly crept to the shadows of his room, he shut the door. . .
¤¤"Sakura . . . Sakura, wake up," Syaoran whispered to Sakura who was next to her. "We gotta leave soon, otherwise my mother will kill the both of us." He said.
Sakura groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "Already . . . ?" She asked.
"Yeah. Hurry and dress up." He said while getting out of bed.
She yawned. "Okay."
They left, got the car, and started for home. As two hours passed, they both finally reached home at last. And as they walked slowly in the entrance, Yelan and the Li sisters appeared before them.
Sakura and Syaoran froze in their places, but Syaoran stepped forward. "Mother, I can explain. Don't blame Sakura, blame me." He said.
"Xiaolang, you have one minute to explain your unexplainable behavior," Yelan said sharply. "Going away for two days, to a place we don't know, and taking Sakura with you. What kind of influence is that? I didn't teach you to be this way, Xiaolang!"
"Mother, I'm . . . I'm sorry." Syaoran apologized while looking at the ground.
"I was worried sick, and where exactly have you been anyway? I called the police, the national guard, my God!" Yelan yelled.
"We were at the hotel . . . At the other island." Syaoran said.
"You what? You were at the hotel?" Yelan asked.
"Y-Yeah. . . " Syaoran replied.
"May I . . .intrude?" Sakura asked as she stepped forward, confronting Yelan.
"Sakura, this is none of your business, I must say. Please take your place in your room." Yelan said.
"O-Oh . . .Well, even though I shouldn't speak my mind, I must say that . . . Syaoran is not entirely at fault here. Please don't yell at him. I tagged along even though I knew it wasn't right. I just . . . wanted to spend my time with the person I love the most." She said as she walked up to Yelan and bowed. Then she left to go to her room.
Everyone was speechless, except Syaoran who smiled as he watched Sakura go up the stairs.
Yelan took her gaze away from him, and said, "Xiaolang, you should've at least informed me of where you were going." She started to walk away.
"M-Mother," Syaoran stammered as he tried to get her, but the Li sisters blocked his way. "What?" He asked.
All of them had such evil grins, and Feimei spoke, "We just wanna know if you and Meimei are back together again." She said.
"Again? We were never together before, Feimei." Syaoran said.
"Oh liar. You and her playing that little flirting game, it was so obvious. But anyway, you are, right?" Fuutie asked.
He slightly turned red. "Yeah." He answered.
They all shrieked and jumped in the air. As soon as the landed back on the ground, they all hugged him. "You are the best brother! Now we'll have a cool sister-in-law!" They all said in unison.
"E? We haven't discussed that! We're only eighteen!" Syaoran exclaimed.
"So? You're an adult now. It doesn't matter at what age you get married. You get married because of your love, not because of age. It's right to finish college first, but I'd wish you guys would get married," Siefen said with stars in her eyes. "I can just imagine it! Li Sakura! Husband of Li Xiaolang, daughter-in-law to Li Yelan, and sister-in-law to Li Siefen!"
Fanren pushed her aside. "You're not the only one getting her for a sister-in-law, Siefen. Sheesh," She confronted her brother with a smile. "What are you going to do?" She asked calmly.
"I never really thought about it . . ." Syaoran replied.
Fanren smiled. "Whatever you do will always be the right decision." She said.
"If we both finish college first . . . I'll ask her, I promise." He said.
Fanren and the rest smiled. "A wise decision, Xiaolang." They all said.
A : End of chapter thirteen! Sorry that it wasn't that long, it was actually my mistake to put it to two parts, but here's the preview for the next chapter, Ai-Yung. We only have a few more chapters to go! (Three more, probably)
preview from the next chapter, Ai-Yung
"Sakura, daijoubu desu ka (Are you okay)?" Ai-Yung asked in Japanese as she came walking by.
"E? Ai-Yung, you speak Japanese?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, I was taught to since I was young. But anyway, how are you doing? I haven't seen you for nine months. How's college?" Ai-Yung asked.
"It's alright . . . I get to come home instead on living in the dorm,." Sakura replied. A long silence occurred between them, but Sakura said, "Ai-Yung, why do you know Japanese?" She asked.
" . . . I'm half Japanese, half Chinese. I used to live in Shibuya, Japan, but when I heard that my cousin died, my family actually moved here. We've been living in Hong Kong for about three years now . . . I moved here when I was sixteen." Ai-Yung said.
"Your cousin died. . . ?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah . . . He committed a homicidal murder and at the same time committed suicide . . .
because he raped a girl who didn't love him anymore."
This chapter's question is : What does Chiharu love to collect? (Refer back to the first few episodes)
