Chapter Fifteen: Akane's Story

Yelan Li was standing by the window as her thoughts pondered through her mind. 'Could it be that Aku that has put Syaoran and Akane in this situation?' she thought once again. But a small voice abruptly interruped her thoughts.

"Excuse me..."

Yelan turned around and saw Akane. "Yes." Yelan said as politely as possible.

"I overheard your conversation between you and Syaoran. I am willing to break off the engagement if you are willing to help me." Akane replied quietly.

'Intresting...' Yelan thought. "That is very kind of you... but what do you need me to help you with?" Yelan asked her suspiciously.

Akane closed the door and faced Yelan once again, 'Here goes...' Akane thought. "I don't know why you ever thought that I would make a good wife for Syaoran, but I my guess, that it was done by Aku." Akane suggested.

"Continue..." Yelan nodded.

"I was in love." Akane stated, tears formed in the corner of her eyes.

Yelan cocked an eyebrow, "Why did you continue this arrangement if your heart belonged to someone else?" she pointed out.

"You see... Ryu... he isn't part of the Li clan so my father forbids me to ever get close to him..." Akane sniffled, "And when the chance came, he pounced on it. When you called him to arrange a marriage between us, he practically blew off the roof... he was so happy." Tears streamed down her cheek.

//Flashback\\

Akane was standing in a dark, gloomy room, staring at a tall man, with jet black hair and grey eyes, her father.

"You wanted to see me, father?" Akane asked.

"Indeed I did. I need to tell you something important." her father stated.

Akane nodded.

"You are getting engaged with Xiao Lang." he let out plainly.

"But..."

"There will be no objections, I've wanted to marry someone inside the Li Clan, being a Li yourself."

"Ryu..." she whispered.

"What? Ryu? Who is this Ryu?" he asked angrily.

"I love him father. I can't marry Xiao Lang." she hissed.

Her father narrowed her eyes, "If you don't break whatever you have between this boy, then I will destroy him and cut him out of the picture."

"But he's a-"

"Enough! One more word and I will kill him!" her father threated.

Akane looked down on the floor, tears dripping down her cheek, she turned around and ran out of the room.

//Another Flashback\\

A couple was standing in the middle of a rose garden, the sun was about to set, its rainbow of colors radiated the sky. A soft breeze blew by, sending rose pedals blowing softly away.

She looked into his soft blue eyes, it warmed her heart that she was able to be around him, but she knew that she had finish this off. "Ryu..."

The slightly tall boy looked at her, "Yes..."

"I can't stay with you anymore... I'm getting married to someone." Akane let out quickly.

"What?!" Ryu brust out in anger.

"Please Ryu... its for the best." Akane looked at him sadly.

"Does that mean you never loved me?" Ryu questioned angrily.

'I'm so sorry Ryu...' she thought in her mind, her sad expression turned into a cold expression, "Yes, that's right, I never loved you, I never will." she said coldy, she tried to blink back all the tears. Realizing that it was impossible, she turned around and ran away, leaving Ryu standing in the garden alone.

'Why??' Akane asked herself again, 'I hope that you will forgive me one day.'

//End of Flashbacks\\

"Please... I can't go back and tell him that I have broken the engagement!" Akane pleaded once again.

"Ryu... the name sounds so fimilar..." Yelan wondered out loud.

"Ryu Lang." Akane told her sadly, the name pierced into her heart, she still missed him, her heart felt so lonely and empty.

"As in the leader of the Lang Clan?" Yelan asked.

"Yes, thats right." Akane answered.

"I have a feeling that your father will except your love, if you bring Ryu to him and introduce those two. Trust me on this one." Yelan told her.

Akane let out a real smile, "If you say so."


'Akane...' Ryu Lang was laying in his room, staring into the ceiling. He remembered when his heart melted when he saw that radiant smile. "Why... Akane... Why?" he said out loud.

RING! Ryu walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello, Ryu speaking."

"There is someone meeting you at the garden for you, right now. They don't want to wait to long." a voice said.

"Who is this?" Ryu asked.

CLICK.

Ryu stared at the phone in confusion. 'Who could be at the garden at this time?' Ryu wondered. He picked up his jacket and raced toward the garden. The garden gave him painful memories, it was the same garden that Akane had pushed him away, the scene was still so vivid in his mind. He reached the garden and he let out a gasp. He saw a beautiful girl, with long jet black hair, standing in the wind. The light breeze blew her hair slightly, and rose pedals were flying everywhere, it was breath taking. "Akane..." Ryu whispered.

Akane turned around and stared into his eyes, "I love you, Ryu Lang... I always have and I always will."

Ryu looked into her eyes, 'Those lavender eyes...' his heart melted. He looked away, finally realizing what she had said, "I thought you were engaged."

"I was forced into that engagement, Ryu... I never wanted to go along with it... but if I didn't I would've lost you forever." Akane explained with tears cascading down her cheek.

Ryu wiped away her tears, "You know that I can never stay angry with you for that long..." he sniffled.

"I love you, Ryu Lang." Akane whispered.

"I love you, Akane Li." he whispered.

The two reunited lovers reached in and shared a passionate kiss, they held each other in their arms and tried to take in the atmosphere that the two had just created.
