Hello again! Spectraangel's back with chapter 3!!!
Thanks to all mai reviewers, from the first chapter, and the second chapter. Only ONE person reviewed about the sequel! I expected more (;_;)
I'm going to put the voting for the sequel up until the story is over.
Here are the choices again:
Sakura and Syaoran have been divorced for 4 years. So have Tomoyo and Eriol. But suddenly, someone kidnapped S&S's son. Can they save him before it's too late? This story has some angst but mostly humor and romance. DEFINETELY S+S and E+T!
Sakura and Syaoran haven't paid attention to their failing marriage. Now Eriol and Tomoyo are going to divorce. Can Sakura and Syaoran save their friends' marriage? If not, can they atleast save their own?
Or there's one when everyone gets back together, with their kids, to save the world one more time. Only problem is that I'm not much of an action/ adventure writer.
If you like any of these, please, just say it in your review.
Yes, review. It's quite simple actually. All you do is click to go button next to the Sumbit Review button, and then type in your name, and then a little comment. Such as: 1. Which could mean that you like the first idea for the sequel.
O_o um - sorry, I don't mean to sound bad. It just turned out like that.
NEWAYZ,.. On a happier note-
Here's Chappie 3 ^_^

"speaking" 'thoughts' *action* a/n -repeating already said words-
How could you?
Syaoran practically dragged Eriol and Kouji to the mall. He needed some expert advice from the two married men. Once they got there, the first place Syaoran went to was the jewelry shop.
On the other hand, Sakura was tired of the advices from Meilin and Tomoyo. They had made her try out practically every dress in the Bridal Shop and they still didn't like anything. Sakura's feet were hurting from standing up for such a long time. She finally told the two girls that they could talk the choices over lunch, and so they went to the Food Court Gomen, most malls here have places with many restaurants and so I'm guessing that your nearby mall might have one too.. if it doesn't - I'm really sorry
That's where this story starts, at the Food Court.

Sakura, Tomoyo and Meilin found a table outside. They decided over getting a nice warm Large Supreme Pizza. hmp.. that would be nice right about now, since it's snowing outside So Tomoyo went to order it.
She came back and said, "The guy said it'll take about 20 minutes, is that alright?"
Sakura said, "Oh that's perfectly fine with me. Could you get me a drink though Tomoyo? Any one would do. Actually scratch that, I want 7up. "
Meilin said, "make that two Tomoyo."
Tomoyo replied, "might as well make that three." So she went back to order the drinks.
Meilin said, "I'm so glad you waited Sakura. I mean, Syaoran was a lost case with you not around in Hong Kong and if it turned out that you were already taken, my cousin would have probably died on the spot." Sakura simply blushed.
But then she said, "So Meilin, you didn't tell me about your husband yet. Where did you guys fall in love and meet and stuff, tell me everything!"
Tomoyo had just walked back and said, "Yes Meilin, tell us your love story. You guys are soo kawaii!!! I wish I was there to videotape your wedding."
Meilin's mood darkened. "Trust me you guys, you seriously would not have wanted to be there, " she said softly.
~*~*~*~*~
"I've known Kouji for a long time. A few months before Syaoran's dad died, Syaoran and I were introduced to him at a party his father had. It was a small dinner party in which he invited his closest friends. The minute we met Kouji, we became great friends. He was really cute when he was little. He had really bushy black hair and he had bright grey-blue eyes.
We got together really well and we always did everthing together. When Syaoran's dad died, he wouldn't talk to anybody. He used to sit in his room and look out the window. I don't know what he stared at but it still creeps me out when I remember that scene.
Kouji's dad came over to pay his respects and then Kouji came upstairs and talked some sense into Syaoran. More like he bit some sense but nonetheless, my cousin snapped out of his trance. He got really angry at Kouji and the two started fighting. I tried to stop them and in the process got hurled at the wall. It hurt a lot and I had a small cut on my forehead.
That stopped them fighting. Kouji ran to get someone and Syaoran started cleaning up my would and he was crying. I didn't get it because I wasn't crying at all. That night, Syaoran came into my room to see how I was doing. When I asked him why he cried, he said that he was afraid I'd go away like his dad.
That's what really started my crush on him. And well, you guys know the middle, Syaoran and I came to Tomeada, he fell in love with you Sakura, and my heart was broken. When we went back, we met up with Kouji again. He had moved away to America for a while but then moved back.
Kouji was the one that really kept me going the few weeks it took to get over Syaoran. He took me to skate parks and amusement parks. I went to carnivals and malls and so many other places. He even invited me over to his summer house and took me fishing one weekend. But I never really liked him in that way. I always thought that he was trying to be a friend.
When I got into college, I met this guy named Yuri. He was really nice to me and I slowly fell in love with him. When he proposed to me I agreed and was so happy. The Li Clan approved of the man, so I didn't see why I should say no. The first person to know of my engagement was Kouji. I felt that he was trying to avoid me as much as possible, but still, he stood by me like he always did.
On the day of my wedding day, when the Preacher asked if anyone wanted to object, a young woman, the same age as me, came in and said that she objected. I saw the shock in Yuri's face. This girl had a child in her hands. She asked Yuri what he was going to do about her once he got married to me. That was enough proof for me. I mean, you had the guy and his girlfriend and son right there, and then there was the girl the guy was supposed to marry.
I ran out of the church as fast as I could. I didn't know what else to do. I kept running and when I stopped, I realized that I was at the Lover's Peak cliff. It was so inviting. I could jump off, and then I wouldn't have to suffer humiliation. I just climbed over the railing and stood on my toes and looked down. Just as I was about to jump, I felt a strong pair of arms catch me a pull me back. I fainted because of the pressure, and right before I fainted, I saw grey.
I woke up in the hospital to Syaoran's yelling and Kouji trying to calm him down. Syaoran couldn't be there for the wedding and when he came back, he wanted to kill Yuri. Kouji tried so hard to calm Syaoran down. He was yelling in a hospital!!! But then they noticed that I was awake and Syaoran and Kouji became quiet.
My parents came in and explained that, to save the reputation of my family, I'd have to marry Kouji. It seems that he asked while I was out cold, if he could, and they agreed. I didn't want to marry Syaoran because I knew that he was meant for you Sakura, and I knew I couldn't be happy with him. On the other hand, Kouji, I was furious with.
I did marry him, but I was only his so-called =wife=. I didn't talk to him or communicate with him. I had thought that Kouji only married me because he felt sorry for me. I never realized that he had truly loved me and never told me. Kouji finally gave up and said that if I wanted to separate from him, it was okay. I took the opportunity and said yes. He said that he'd talk to the lawyer when he came back from his business trip. He had to go to a conference for the weekend.
I was totally happy that night. When I went into his room, because it was a mess and you know me, I'm a pretty darn neat-freak, I found his diary. Something forced me to read it, I can't really tell you what it is. On one of the pages it said, -I finally realized what this weird feeling is, it's love. I'm in love with my best friend Meilin.- And it continued to say why he loved me. The entries were only on important days in his life. On the day he found out my engagement it said, -Meilin's someone else's now. I wish she were mine though. What I wouldn't give for a second chance with her. But I can't wish bad. I guess giving up your love, if they'll be happier for someone else, is okay too.- Things like that reappeared on the day he married me, and on my birthday, which was just a few weeks before he offered the divorce.
I realized right then and there that Kouji never pitied me. He was the guy who had always loved me. I felt so low then. I realized that there was still some time before his plane left so I got in the car and drove to the airport. I ran into the airport and heard the boarding call for his plane. I frantically ran to the nearest gate and asked the lady if I could use her microphone. I said that I had to find my husband and she agreed seeing that I was in tears. And I cried to Kouji in the microphone. I told him that I truly did love him and I asked him not to leave me behind like everyone else did. I told him that he was my world. Then I saw him, right in front of me, just staring at me unsure.
I ran up to him. We hugged and he wiped my tears. He didn't go to the conference and we ended up starting a happy and wonderful new life on the weekend."
"So, that's the end of my story," Meilin said cheerful again. Sakura and Tomoyo were in tears. They had never heard a sweeter story. Finally, Meilin took some ice and smothered it to their already wet faces. That got them to stop crying. Tomoyo then wiped her face and got up to get the pizza.
Meilin said to Sakura, "So, how did Tomoyo-chan get back up with Eriol?"
Sakura started to laugh. "Oh, *chuckle* you're going to have to hear it from *giggle* her. It's really kawaii."
"What is," Tomoyo asked.
"How you and Eriol got together, supposedly," Meilin said eyeing the auburn- haired girl that was laughing really hard.
"Oh,"Tomoyo blushed beet red,"that."
"Go on Tomoyo, I want hear the things Eriol did to win your heart," Meilin said pouting.
"And I want to hear it again," Sakura said smiling innocently.
"Sakura, I'm definetely going to show your kids the tapes of your captures if you say one more word," Tomoyo said sweetly.
"Aw, get off it Tomoyo. I know that you're going to show it anyways," Sakura replied.
Tomoyo sweatdropped. She thought that would work. "I guess I have no choice," she said softly.
"Eriol came back in the last year of my studies. Sakura and I didn't realize it was him till he introduced himself at one of our friend's parties. We saw him here and there but never met him in person till the party. I mean, we were in Tokyo and that's a pretty huge city. I guess that it was kind of kawaii since we handn't seen him for so long and then he suddenly came back.
Over the years, he just became more handsome. I mean, he was so gentlemanly when he was here in 4th grade and then suddenly he actually became an English gentleman."
Tomoyo stopped and flushed. She couldn't really continue. So Sakura said, "That's alright Tomoyo, I'll fill in the rest." Tomoyo stared at Sakura. Asking her to tell the story was scarier than Tomoyo talking about it herself. So she replied, "That's alright Sakura-chan, I'll do it."
"So where was I? Oh yes, Eriol had moved back from England. Reason? He simply said that he wanted to open a business here. He also said something about seeing his friends here but we didn't believe him. At least I didn't. Sakura-chan here lapped it all up like a little puppy."
"Hey, I knew that there was only one friend he wanted to see, you!"
Tomoyo stuck her tongue out at Sakura. Uh, sorry for my interruption. I just wanted to say that Tomoyo's story is more light hearted and funny, unlike Meilin's, so there'll be a few interruptions here and there where Sakura fills in the blanks k?
She said," Eriol-kun was really nice to us and came by every weekend to our house and would take the two of us out somewhere."
Sakura said," More like take Tomoyo out. I'd just act like I was sick or sad and refuse to go outside."
This time, Sakura got a glare from her best-friend. Sakura said, " Oh alright. I'll try not to interrupt."
Tomoyo started again. "He just took me to parks and carnivals, since it was summer. We just had fun and caught up on the years we weren't together. Then one day, right before my summer semester ended, he asked me if I'd like to go with him to England for the break. Sakura already planned to go back to Tomeada and I wasn't sure whether I should go with her or not. I talked to my mom and she told me to go England and do some sight-seeing. So I went. There was no talking Sakura into coming though, so it was just Eriol and I.
England was really beautiful. There was so much to see in the new and old buildings. Eriol to me to a picnic almost everyday and Nakuru took me shopping. One small note: I made Nakuru a girl cuz Ying and Yang in my interpretation can also be girl and boy, so we got Yue and Ruby Moon right? She was really a cool person, but always hyper. I also had really funny conversatons with Spinel Sun. We talked about the weirdest things, from Eriol's ancestors to why Kero looks like a teddy bear.
Slowly, I got to love the place. So when the break was about to end, I asked Sakura if she'd come to England and we could finish getting our degrees here. Sakura was kind of reluctant, but I got my mom to talk to her dad and she came to England too.
Eriol drove us EVERYWHERE. From the university to home to his work. I sometimes wanted to ask if he was thinking of starting a cab company but I never asked him. Sakura was really happy in her own little world. She always was with Nakuru, Spinel and Kero and she starting being her genki self again. Not that she wasn't before, but sometimes Sakura would get so sad and nothing I could do could cheer her up.
That earned Tomoyo a sigh from Sakura. This time around, Sakura got glares from both Meiln and Tomoyo. She said, "Oh alright already, keep going Tomoyo."
As for me, I started learning the ropes on being English. Just in case I wanted to open an office in London. Eriol helped me through everything, from table manners to the accent.
It was fun, until I started realizing that I was falling for him. He was so sweet and kind, I mean, how could anyone NOT fall for him? That winter was the best winter ever. The first day snow fell, I went crazy. I mean, it's not every day that you see snow in Tomeada. I dragged Eriol outside and me, Sakura, Nakuru, and Eriol had this huge snowball fight in his backyard. It was like we were little kids again. After a while, Sakura and Nakuru left us and it was only the two of us fighting. I hit Eriol right in the face and knocked off his glasses.
I felt so sorry for him because he couldn't see much. So I got up to help him. We searched through the snow and both of us found it at the same time. Eriol looked at me trying to focus on me and then I noticed his navy blue eyes. I think that's what did it. I kinda fell in love immediately. Then, he threw another snowball at me, and I got angry. So we started all over again.
I finally gave up after a while and said that I surrendered. He in turn brought a snowball up to me and told me that the loser has to get smeared with snow. He did it too!! I guess the cold go to me and I started acting all crazy and next thing I know, I was hugging him. He just held me and I said -I love you- in his ear and then he kissed me.
Then that Christmas he proposed. We came back to Japan to get married. The end"
Sakura sighed and said, "Tomoyo! You left out all the funny stuff!"
Tomoyo said, "No I didn't! I told the most important details AND the funny stuff!"
Sakura said, " Ne Tomoyo, you forget to tell her about the time you were doing ty-dye and you poured all the colored water out the window not seeing that Eriol was right under it talking to someone. And you got him soaked in blue and green water."
Meilin started cracking up. "Oh my, I can just *giggle* imagine that."
Just then, three men fell out of the tree above them. sorry, forgot to mention that they were sitting at a table under a cherry blossom tree
Sakura got scared. When she looked back she said, "Hoeeee!"
The three men were none other than Syaoran, Eriol, and Kouji!!!
Kouji said, "See Eriol, I told that was a bad idea!" Syaoran followed by saying, "Yeah Eriol. I told you that they wouldn't like it if they found out!!"
Then Eriol said, "Then why did you suggest it in the first place, my cute- little-decendant?" Syaoran turned red. "I AM NOT YOUR CUTE LITTLE DECENDANT!!!!"
The girls just giggled and then the guys apologized and then joined their table. Meilin said, "So what did you guys do?"
Kouji replied, "Oh you know. We were just looking at some Playboy magazines and pampering Syaoran. The poor guy's gonna get tied down and all. And we became slaves of you beautiful ladies after we became married. So we were taking this time to give his a few more bachelor moments and catch we caught up on the latest ladies."
Tomoyo said, "So we're not beautiful enough for you guys?"
Eriol moved next to her and said, "Oh sweet Lady Tomoyo. I searched and searched the vast majority of magazines in the store, but I didn't find any woman as beautiful as you."
That got Tomoyo to turn bright red. Everyone started laughing and Syaoran said, "I can so get back on you guys now. I got it all on tape!"
Sakura gave him a big hug and said Thank you to him.
They ordered another pizza and everyone started eating again.
And everything was fine until----------------------------------
"Oh sweetie there you are!" a guy said putting an arm on Sakura. Sakura was shocked. When she turned around, she saw a guy with red hair and brown eyes smiling at her. She remembered meeting the guy in college but only in one of her classes.
Syaoran said, "uh Sakura, do you know this guy?"
She replied, "I don't KNOW him!" She was scared, and everyone could see that.
The guy sat in the chair next to her, and said, "Oh but Sakura remember? That one night, when you came to the party at my house, and we slept together that night. Remember?"
Sakura said, "NANI??? I-I don't even know who you are!!!"
Syaoran was just staring at her in disbelief. He didn't know who to trust. Sakura wouldn't lie, right? But then this guy is talking like he knows her!
The guy said, "Aw c'mon Saku. Don't be like that! Remember? How you said, -Don't make me go home Reimond-kun. Let me stay with you for the night,- and you said that you loved me and even though I didn't want to you forced me into getting in bed with you that night? Huh?"
Sakura started to get tears in her eyes. She had met the guy in college but she never went to his house, none the less sleep with him!
The guy continued by saying, "And remember? You came to my house a month later and said that you were going to be a mother and you didn't want to, so both of us went to the doctor. Remember?," the guy tighted his grip on Sakura's shoulder and said, "Oh I've missed you so much Sakura! I've searched so many places for you. And you were here the whole time! Please don't go away this time. We can get married and we can go live in my father's mansion. Huh Sakura? What do you say?"
Syaoran was shocked. He wasn't sure what to think. He did the only thing he could, confront the crying Cherry blossom. He said quietly, "Sakura, is this true?" No reply came back. Sakura was in too much shock and was crying so hard, that she couldn't reply. Syaoran on the other hand, thought that it meant a yes. He got up and walked away. Kouji and Meilin stared at him for a second. Then they started running after him.
No one knew what was going on, but it wouldn't help in anyway if Syaoran did to himself what Meilin tried to do 3 years ago.
Tomoyo looked at Eriol, and he understood what to do. Using his magic, he sent the guy near the beach. So that it'd take a while for him to get back. Tomoyo went up to Sakura, and tried to comfort her.
Her attempts didn't prevail. Sakura was still crying and finally she fainted. Eriol and Tomoyo took her home. They didn't know what to do except wait, till she got up and talked to them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Sakura woke up, she had a huge head-ache. She tried to remember why, and then she remembered the scene at the mall. She got out of her bed, and went to the staircase and saw Tomoyo and Eriol playing a board game with Lin-tah and Kero. Tomoyo looked up, and saw Sakura standing there. She excused herself, by saying that she wanted to check up to Sakura, and went upstairs.
Sakura just sat on top of her bed and Tomoyo sat next to her. There was a long moment of silence and finally Tomoyo said, "Sakura-chan what happenned?"
Sakura said, "I -"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mwahahaha, a cliff hanger. YAY!!! So what is Sakura going to say? Did what Reimond say really happen? And what is Syaoran going to do??? Oh, questions, questions. Hold your horses till Chapter 4.
Okay, I know that we didn't get to the bride's maid and best man this chapter, but as you can see, the flashbacks took some time. So next chappie will be about whether there's going to be a marriage or not. But as you can see, if we're gonna talk about the best man and bride's maid, we definetely need a marriage. Or do we???
Till then, Read and Review!!!
And don't forget about voting for the sequel.
Ciao,

"I've known Kouji for a long time. A few months before Syaoran's dad died, Syaoran and I were introduced to him at a party his father had.

And I cried to Kouji in the microphone. I told him that I truly did love him and I asked him not to leave me behind like everyone else did. I told him that he was my world. Then I saw him, right in front of me, just staring at me unsure.
I ran up to him. We hugged and he wiped my tears. He didn't go to the conference and we ended up starting a happy and wonderful new life on the weekend."
"So, that's the end of my story," Meilin said cheerful again. Sakura and Tomoyo were in tears. They had never heard a sweeter story. Finally, Meilin took some ice and smothered it to their already wet faces. That got them to stop crying. Tomoyo then wiped her face and got up to get the pizza.
Meilin said to Sakura, "So, how did Tomoyo-chan get back up with Eriol?"
Sakura started to laugh. "Oh, *chuckle* you're going to have to hear it from *giggle* her. It's really kawaii."
"What is," Tomoyo asked.
"How you and Eriol got together, supposedly," Meilin said eyeing the auburn- haired girl that was laughing really hard.
"Oh,"Tomoyo blushed beet red,"that."
"Go on Tomoyo, I want hear the things Eriol did to win your heart," Meilin said pouting.
"And I want to hear it again," Sakura said smiling innocently.
"Sakura, I'm definetely going to show your kids the tapes of your captures if you say one more word," Tomoyo said sweetly.
"Aw, get off it Tomoyo. I know that you're going to show it anyways," Sakura replied.
Tomoyo sweatdropped. She thought that would work. "I guess I have no choice," she said softly.
"Eriol came back in the last year of my studies. Sakura and I didn't realize it was him till he introduced himself at one of our friend's parties. We saw him here and there but never met him in person till the party. I mean, we were in Tokyo and that's a pretty huge city. I guess that it was kind of kawaii since we handn't seen him for so long and then he suddenly came back.
Over the years, he just became more handsome. I mean, he was so gentlemanly when he was here in 4th grade and then suddenly he actually became an English gentleman."
Tomoyo stopped and flushed. She couldn't really continue. So Sakura said, "That's alright Tomoyo, I'll fill in the rest." Tomoyo stared at Sakura. Asking her to tell the story was scarier than Tomoyo talking about it herself. So she replied, "That's alright Sakura-chan, I'll do it."
"So where was I? Oh yes, Eriol had moved back from England. Reason? He simply said that he wanted to open a business here. He also said something about seeing his friends here but we didn't believe him. At least I didn't. Sakura-chan here lapped it all up like a little puppy."
"Hey, I knew that there was only one friend he wanted to see, you!"
Tomoyo stuck her tongue out at Sakura. Uh, sorry for my interruption. I just wanted to say that Tomoyo's story is more light hearted and funny, unlike Meilin's, so there'll be a few interruptions here and there where Sakura fills in the blanks k?
She said," Eriol-kun was really nice to us and came by every weekend to our house and would take the two of us out somewhere."
Sakura said," More like take Tomoyo out. I'd just act like I was sick or sad and refuse to go outside."
This time, Sakura got a glare from her best-friend. Sakura said, " Oh alright. I'll try not to interrupt."
Tomoyo started again. "He just took me to parks and carnivals, since it was summer. We just had fun and caught up on the years we weren't together. Then one day, right before my summer semester ended, he asked me if I'd like to go with him to England for the break. Sakura already planned to go back to Tomeada and I wasn't sure whether I should go with her or not. I talked to my mom and she told me to go England and do some sight-seeing. So I went. There was no talking Sakura into coming though, so it was just Eriol and I.
England was really beautiful. There was so much to see in the new and old buildings. Eriol to me to a picnic almost everyday and Nakuru took me shopping. One small note: I made Nakuru a girl cuz Ying and Yang in my interpretation can also be girl and boy, so we got Yue and Ruby Moon right? She was really a cool person, but always hyper. I also had really funny conversatons with Spinel Sun. We talked about the weirdest things, from Eriol's ancestors to why Kero looks like a teddy bear.
Slowly, I got to love the place. So when the break was about to end, I asked Sakura if she'd come to England and we could finish getting our degrees here. Sakura was kind of reluctant, but I got my mom to talk to her dad and she came to England too.
Eriol drove us EVERYWHERE. From the university to home to his work. I sometimes wanted to ask if he was thinking of starting a cab company but I never asked him. Sakura was really happy in her own little world. She always was with Nakuru, Spinel and Kero and she starting being her genki self again. Not that she wasn't before, but sometimes Sakura would get so sad and nothing I could do could cheer her up.
That earned Tomoyo a sigh from Sakura. This time around, Sakura got glares from both Meiln and Tomoyo. She said, "Oh alright already, keep going Tomoyo."
As for me, I started learning the ropes on being English. Just in case I wanted to open an office in London. Eriol helped me through everything, from table manners to the accent.
It was fun, until I started realizing that I was falling for him. He was so sweet and kind, I mean, how could anyone NOT fall for him? That winter was the best winter ever. The first day snow fell, I went crazy. I mean, it's not every day that you see snow in Tomeada. I dragged Eriol outside and me, Sakura, Nakuru, and Eriol had this huge snowball fight in his backyard. It was like we were little kids again. After a while, Sakura and Nakuru left us and it was only the two of us fighting. I hit Eriol right in the face and knocked off his glasses.
I felt so sorry for him because he couldn't see much. So I got up to help him. We searched through the snow and both of us found it at the same time. Eriol looked at me trying to focus on me and then I noticed his navy blue eyes. I think that's what did it. I kinda fell in love immediately. Then, he threw another snowball at me, and I got angry. So we started all over again.
I finally gave up after a while and said that I surrendered. He in turn brought a snowball up to me and told me that the loser has to get smeared with snow. He did it too!! I guess the cold go to me and I started acting all crazy and next thing I know, I was hugging him. He just held me and I said -I love you- in his ear and then he kissed me.
Then that Christmas he proposed. We came back to Japan to get married. The end"
Sakura sighed and said, "Tomoyo! You left out all the funny stuff!"
Tomoyo said, "No I didn't! I told the most important details AND the funny stuff!"
Sakura said, " Ne Tomoyo, you forget to tell her about the time you were doing ty-dye and you poured all the colored water out the window not seeing that Eriol was right under it talking to someone. And you got him soaked in blue and green water."
Meilin started cracking up. "Oh my, I can just *giggle* imagine that."
Just then, three men fell out of the tree above them. sorry, forgot to mention that they were sitting at a table under a cherry blossom tree
Sakura got scared. When she looked back she said, "Hoeeee!"
The three men were none other than Syaoran, Eriol, and Kouji!!!
Kouji said, "See Eriol, I told that was a bad idea!" Syaoran followed by saying, "Yeah Eriol. I told you that they wouldn't like it if they found out!!"
Then Eriol said, "Then why did you suggest it in the first place, my cute- little-decendant?" Syaoran turned red. "I AM NOT YOUR CUTE LITTLE DECENDANT!!!!"
The girls just giggled and then the guys apologized and then joined their table. Meilin said, "So what did you guys do?"
Kouji replied, "Oh you know. We were just looking at some Playboy magazines and pampering Syaoran. The poor guy's gonna get tied down and all. And we became slaves of you beautiful ladies after we became married. So we were taking this time to give his a few more bachelor moments and catch we caught up on the latest ladies."
Tomoyo said, "So we're not beautiful enough for you guys?"
Eriol moved next to her and said, "Oh sweet Lady Tomoyo. I searched and searched the vast majority of magazines in the store, but I didn't find any woman as beautiful as you."
That got Tomoyo to turn bright red. Everyone started laughing and Syaoran said, "I can so get back on you guys now. I got it all on tape!"
Sakura gave him a big hug and said Thank you to him.
They ordered another pizza and everyone started eating again.
And everything was fine until----------------------------------
"Oh sweetie there you are!" a guy said putting an arm on Sakura. Sakura was shocked. When she turned around, she saw a guy with red hair and brown eyes smiling at her. She remembered meeting the guy in college but only in one of her classes.
Syaoran said, "uh Sakura, do you know this guy?"
She replied, "I don't KNOW him!" She was scared, and everyone could see that.
The guy sat in the chair next to her, and said, "Oh but Sakura remember? That one night, when you came to the party at my house, and we slept together that night. Remember?"
Sakura said, "NANI??? I-I don't even know who you are!!!"
Syaoran was just staring at her in disbelief. He didn't know who to trust. Sakura wouldn't lie, right? But then this guy is talking like he knows her!
The guy said, "Aw c'mon Saku. Don't be like that! Remember? How you said, -Don't make me go home Reimond-kun. Let me stay with you for the night,- and you said that you loved me and even though I didn't want to you forced me into getting in bed with you that night? Huh?"
Sakura started to get tears in her eyes. She had met the guy in college but she never went to his house, none the less sleep with him!
The guy continued by saying, "And remember? You came to my house a month later and said that you were going to be a mother and you didn't want to, so both of us went to the doctor. Remember?," the guy tighted his grip on Sakura's shoulder and said, "Oh I've missed you so much Sakura! I've searched so many places for you. And you were here the whole time! Please don't go away this time. We can get married and we can go live in my father's mansion. Huh Sakura? What do you say?"
Syaoran was shocked. He wasn't sure what to think. He did the only thing he could, confront the crying Cherry blossom. He said quietly, "Sakura, is this true?" No reply came back. Sakura was in too much shock and was crying so hard, that she couldn't reply. Syaoran on the other hand, thought that it meant a yes. He got up and walked away. Kouji and Meilin stared at him for a second. Then they started running after him.
No one knew what was going on, but it wouldn't help in anyway if Syaoran did to himself what Meilin tried to do 3 years ago.
Tomoyo looked at Eriol, and he understood what to do. Using his magic, he sent the guy near the beach. So that it'd take a while for him to get back. Tomoyo went up to Sakura, and tried to comfort her.
Her attempts didn't prevail. Sakura was still crying and finally she fainted. Eriol and Tomoyo took her home. They didn't know what to do except wait, till she got up and talked to them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Sakura woke up, she had a huge head-ache. She tried to remember why, and then she remembered the scene at the mall. She got out of her bed, and went to the staircase and saw Tomoyo and Eriol playing a board game with Lin-tah and Kero. Tomoyo looked up, and saw Sakura standing there. She excused herself, by saying that she wanted to check up to Sakura, and went upstairs.
Sakura just sat on top of her bed and Tomoyo sat next to her. There was a long moment of silence and finally Tomoyo said, "Sakura-chan what happenned?"
Sakura said, "I -"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mwahahaha, a cliff hanger. YAY!!! So what is Sakura going to say? Did what Reimond say really happen? And what is Syaoran going to do??? Oh, questions, questions. Hold your horses till Chapter 4.
