WARNING: ANOTHER LONG CHAPTER

Chapter Four

Last time we spoke

Shoaran awakened same as he did for the past two years, exhausted and suffering from headaches caused by hangovers. All caused by the same thing, the break-up between him and Sakura. The cause of the break up was still vivid, as though it was yesterday.

FLASHBACK

************************************************************************

"Shoaran," An Elderly man spoke

Shoaran stood tall, despite what was within the hands of the man.

" Do you know what these are?' The elderly man waved the pack of letters around, so Shoaran would see.

"Yes, Do you?" Shoaran asked smugged with himself, as the Elderly man's eye's widened with rage.

"Shoaran, you have been keeping contact with the Clow Card Mistress, do you not deny it."

"No, I don't deny it. As a matter of fact I am proud to be the boyfriend of Sakura and I am sure she is proud to be my girlfriend,"

The Elderly man stood with rage, revealing his beard which almost touch the ground "Shoaran, We the council, demand that you end your relationship with the Clow Card Mistress,"

Shoaran grumbled under his breath, the council refused to call Sakura by her rightful name no matter how many times he reminded them what it really was.

" I have no intentions to do that sir," And with that Shoaran turned to walk out the door, behind him he could still hear the bickering council members including the leader.

"Your family with disown you and you will have nothing," they called out

Shoaran, didn't care he continued on striding down the hallway. He didn't stop until he heard the thing he feared most in the entire world.

"We will kill the Clow Card Mistress, if you do not end your relationship with her,"

Shoaran stopped

The leader of the council smiled vilely, atlas Shoaran was under his mercy.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Master Li, You must get up," Wei called out to him, as he prepared his Master's attire for the day. He frowned seeing how bad shape his Master was in, but it wasn't something that he hadn't gotten used for the past two years.

"Grumble" Shoaran stubbornly remained in bed, but Wei knew better.

"Very Well Master, I shall have your sisters wake you up then," Upon hearing this Shoaran jumped out of bed, shuddering at the thought of his four annoying, but loveable sisters, drooping over him, as though he were a prize.

"That won't be necessary Wei,"

"Are you sure Master," and with that Wei smiled evilly "Your sisters would gladly give some company,"

Shoaran shot his old friend a death glare that would frighten anybody, but not Wei, who knew that it was simply Shoaran's way of scaring people. He chuckled to himself.

"What's so funny Wei?" Shoaran was really starting to get annoyed

"Nothing Master I…" Wei clutched the place were his heart was, stumbling slightly, he grabbed Shoaran's shoulder for support.

"Wei?" Shoaran's deep brown eye was filled with concern.

Wei however just shook his head, "It's nothing Master, go train yourself, you never know when the cards might start up trouble again,"

Shoaran grunted, "Wei you know as well as I do that Sakura never wants to see, or hear from me ever again,"

Shoaran began to approach the door, when Wei spoke again; "Can you blame her Master. Forgive me, but you did hurt her with that tall tell."

Shoaran considered that for a moment before walking out the door and into the hallway.

A look of disappointment filled Wei's face, "Good Luck Master, you will need it." And with that said he continued his daily routine, about the Li clan Mansion.

Shoaran entered the kitchen and was welcomed by the warming smile of his mother Yelan Li, "Hello my son, sleeping in today I see," as she inspected his appearance.

All Shoaran could do was run his hand through his dark chestnut hair, and shrugged as a reply.

"The guys wanted to go out yesterday,"

"Oh" Yelan raised an eyebrow in questioning, "The guys? Or you wanted to go out yesterday,"

"We just had a couple of drinks yesterday, Mom, no big deal,"

Yelan stared at the countertop; "You came home drunk yesterday Shoaran, and a couple of servants had to assist you to your bedroom,"

Shoaran looked away from his mom in guilt, "I promise, I'll stop."

Yelan sighed heavily before reaching up to her beloved son's face, and looking him straight in the eye, "You have got to get over her Shoaran."

Shoaran removed his mother's hands from his face. "I have," he lied

Yelan gave a look of disbelief "You know that isn't true,"

"I have to train. Mom," Shoaran made up any excuse to escape from this chat. He definitely didn't like where this conversation was going, it was simply causing him too much pain to bear. Kissing Yelan on the cheek, (I am not sure if that's a custom in China, but oh well) he left her in the kitchen, confused and worried, about the condition of her only son

Clang* Clank* Bang*

In the courtyard of the Li Clan residence, Shoaran is busy distracting himself from the thought of her, by training his ass off.

Fuutie peers curiously, behind a tree, watching her younger brother training.

How long, is he going to keep doing this? She asked herself as she saw her brother accidentally cut himself with his sword. Being as stubborn as he his, he ignored the pain, and let the blood mix in with the sweat caused from so much extensive training.

A cool gentle hand touches her shoulder and Fuutie turns to see a lovely Black haired Chinese girl smile at her.

"So how's my cousin doing,"

Fuutie managed to force a smile on her face, "I am fine Meiling," she quickly changed her gaze to Shoaran, "But he isn't,"

Meiling, sternly gazed at her ex-fiancée, she took a deep breath.

"Doesn't that Baka, ever learn," she muttered

"What?" Meiling shook her head quickly realising that she had forgotten that Fuutie was there.

"Oh nothing," Meiling grinned assuredly at her extremely concerned cousin " You should go inside and help Ms. Li, I'll talk to Shoaran,"

Fuutie took her advice and skipped, uncertain, into the Mansion.

Meiling watch her. Once she was inside, Meiling raised her head with her pride, as she approached Shoaran. He however, chose not to pay any attention to her.

"Shoaran," Meiling began, but she was interrupted.

"Leave me alone Meiling," his voice was like ice.

Despite how much that hurt Meiling, she continued to speak, " Shoaran, your family is worried about you,"

"I don't want to have the same conversation that we had two years ago Meiling,"

***FLASHBACK***

The doorbell of the grand Li clan mansion rings about ten times before Wei finally answers the door.

"Meiling!" the elderly servant's eyes widen in amazement " What a surprise. Does any one in the family know were here,"

Meiling worried about being caught for the real reason she was really here, just grinned, "No. I decided to visit the good family."

Wei raised an eye at this " Oh is that so?"

"Yep," Meiling hurriedly stepped inside the house, before Wei could ask her anything else that she might regret answering. Wei eyed her suspiciously, as she observed the grand oak staircase leading to the upper quarters.

"Is Shoaran home?" she met with the mournful eyes of Wei. She tilt her head questionably

"He's retired to his headquarters," he finally answered, "but me…"

It was too late. Wei saw that she was already at the top of the staircase searching for Shoaran.

Meanwhile Shoaran was leaning against his windowpane, with a glass of Martini in his hands. He was busy gazing at the midnight sky; he didn't even notice Meiling entering.

"HEY EX-FIANCEE," she exclaimed, sending Shoaran falling towards the ground.

"Meiling, what are you doing here?" Shoaran grasp the side of his large bed for support

"It's more like why are you marrying someone else. Where's the bitch? I wanna met her." Meiling turned her head from side to side as though looking for the so-called "bitch" right then and there.

"Oh," Shoaran changed his gaze from her "that"

"That's right Shoaran," Meiling now had her hands on her hips

"Why are you marrying someone else?" She asked again

"Its none of your business who I am marrying," But Meiling persisted

"How could you do this to Sakura, I thought you loved her,"

When Shoaran failed to answer her question she continued with her accusations

"Lemme guess, you go about banging some other horror, behind Sakura's back, get her pregnant and decide that the most honourable thing to do is to marry her, I am I right. No Wait you got sick of Sakura and decided that you wanted to humiliate her. Well congratulations my EX, you've succeed,"

Shoaran had about as much as he could stand, " God dammit Meiling, would you let me speak," His outburst scared Meiling so much that she stumbled on the floor

"I love Sakura with all my heart. That's why I have to go along with this plan,"

Meiling became terrible confuse "Plan?"

Shoaran groaned as he sat on the edge of his bed, "Do you think I intended to hurt Sakura that much?"

Meiling gazed at the floor

"The council threatened to kill her, if I kept in contact with her."

Meiling gaped in horror "K..K..Kill Sakura?"

"I knew that Sakura would continue questioning me as to why we have to break up. Fuutie suggested the wedding. It practically killed her to suggest it, since she loved Sakura like a sister. But it's for her life."

"Gomen Shoaran. I had no idea,"

"The fake wedding is going to take place next week. The servants have already prepared the courtyard and mom is currently creating the bride."

"Creating the bride?"

Shoaran choked on his words, it hurt so much to finish but he did it anyway, "Xiefa advised to send the photo's to the council to convince them I am over Sakura. She also suggested sending them to Sakura, to break the relationship once and for all,"

Meiling didn't say anything; she just sat there trapped within her own world.

He really did love Sakura, so much that he was willing to create a fake bride for one day, pretend to get married, to hurt her, and to save her life.

"Meiling?" Shoaran's eyes were filled with concern

After a minute Meiling came too, her eyes began to gather tears.

"How can I help?" she managed to utter between the sobs.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

Meiling gazed straight into Shoaran's eyes, unafraid, of the threatening look he gave her. She would not yield if he would strike her; she felt that the truth had to be said, no matter what.

"Shoaran," she began "That was two years ago, and you are still just as upset as you were on your supposed "wedding day". Your plan succeeds. Let's face it, Sakura hates your guts now. Get over it, before it destroys you and your family."

Shoaran continued ignoring her, making it clear that he didn't appreciate her company. Meiling threw her hand in the air in frustration. She stormed off muttering something about " a stubborn Baka"

Once she was gone, Shoaran ripped the wedding ring from his finger and hurled it as far as he could. He didn't care how expensive it was; it was only for show anyways. And with the remaining of his energy he struck the dummy he had been practising with, splitting it into millions of pieces.

As he approached the Mansion he saw Wei waiting for him.

"Wei, send one of the servants to fetch my wedding ring, I lost it somewhere,"

Suppi: Sniff* how sad Shoaran gave up his happiness with Sakura to save her.

Fruity: *Sobbing* I know

Suppi: How could you Fruity, are you making this story sad on purpose?

Fruity: You wanted to know what happened to Shoaran. Well know you know

Suppi: ERRRRR Well I guess its going to get happier right?

Fruity: Nope.

Suppi: What! Fruity our readers will need like a tissue box when they read this story

Fruity: Hehehehe I am evil

Suppi: Rolling his eyes

Fruity: Just joking it'll get better. Or will it? Muhahahahhahha
