Chapter Seventeen: Changing Partners



Sakura's Point of View

We followed Queen Yelan into the throne room. Tomoyo and Chiharu had better run for their lives once this is through. I'll hurt them so bad, they'll grandchildren will feel it! But on the other hand I'll want to celebrate with them. I finally admitted I love Li Syaoran. And the best part is HE LOVES ME!!! So. I guess that means we're together. The most we would ever do is talk. I bet Eriol, Yamazaki, Tomoyo and Chiharu all got so mad because we took so long. I wonder why "mother" I guess would want to see us now. Everyone looked so happy before. but now Father and Mother Yelan look so upset.

"My nephews!" A lady said when we finally reached our destination. The boys' faces paled. My sisters and I all exchanged looks. She had long flowing hair up to her waist with orange red eyes. Her face was pale and her lips painted a fierce red. She wore a lot of cosmetics.

"Auntie Carbo," they all said as they received hugs. You could tell they didn't like her at all.

"So these are the beautiful girls," Carbo said to us as she turned to face us.

"Hello. I am Sakura Kinomoto. These are my sisters, Tomoyo Kinomoto, and Chiharu Kinomoto," I say smiling up at her. There's something strange about her.but I just shrug it off.

"I know that very well. You are the ones who are betrothed to my sons am I right?" she asked us smiling. But her smile immediately disappeared as we all paled and my sisters began to freak out. But I just stood there with so much emotion going through me. I didn't know what to do. But of course. the Queen of Masks could hide anything from anyone.

"I beg your pardon. But I must have misinterpreted. We are already engaged to the other Li sons. You are probably thinking of a different set of Kinomoto's," Tomoyo said calmly. But I could tell she was getting ready to lose it. She always controls herself in front of people she did not know. up to a point.

"No my dear. It is you three," she said cautiously.

"Listen lady. I am engaged to Yamazaki, Tomoyo is engaged to Eriol and Sakura is engaged to Syaoran. So why don't you leave with your annoying pests for sons before we have to put you in your place," Chiharu said rudely. Maybe a bit too rudely. Soon the King came from the back and almost slapped her across her face. If I didn't move and take the hit for her. then Chiharu would have huge red slap on her face. As soon as this processed through me, one of my emotions surface.

"Foolish girl," the king said gruffly as the entire room became silent.

"Sakura! Sweetie, are you alright?" Syaoran said as he ran over and caressed my cheek. That really hurt. The impact was so hard it made my head turn. But feeling Syaoran made it feel a little bit better. But I was still too mad.

"Syaoran please move out of the way," I say to him in his ear softly. He listens and moves from me as he lets go. "Listen to me. I don't know who the hell you think you are. Everyone in this room holds as much authority in this room as you do. if not a little more. But I will tell you once, and once alone. if you lay one fucking finger on any member of my family. you will not see the daylight again. I promise you that," I say giving a cold glare to him. That one; I learned from Syaoran. After I said my piece, I stalked out of the room. My sisters and their fiancées followed behind me. Once Eriol slammed the throne room doors shut, I couldn't take it anymore. I fell to my knees and cried.

Syaoran's Point of View

I can't believe the nice caring man I knew would do that to the woman I loved. Then, Sakura had let all her anger out. He gave me a look that made me think I had to choose. Sakura or Uncle. I'm sorry Uncle. I love her. I closed my eyes and turned to follow Sakura. I thought everyone would be against us. or at least my brothers, but they too followed her. We've all developed a bond with each other. I guess I wasn't the only one to be mad. When Eriol slammed those doors shut, I thought everyone would go crazy. I was ready do so myself. But we all got shocked. Sakura fell to her knees and cried. HARD. I ran to her.

"It's okay baby, are you okay?" I ask her engulfing her in a hug as she cried on my shirt. She didn't respond so I just let her hug me and cry. "Sssh, it's alright. Don't worry he'll get what he deserves."

*Sniffle* "Don't Syaoran. I don't want you to do anything to him. I don't want to cause any trouble with him. He's part of your family. I just feel so bad. I shouldn't have cursed at him like that," Sakura said as she lifted her head and looked at me. This girl. She always thought of others before her.

"Oh Sakura. don't you worry. If Xiao Lang doesn't do it I will," Tomoyo said as she shook with anger.

"Along with me," Eriol said. This shocked all of us. WE all turned to him. "She's like a sister to me. We've never even had sisters."

"Count me in too," Chiharu said.

"Me three," Yamazaki said softly.

"I'm glad I have you in my life. All of you," Sakura said as she looked around to each of us, but he eyes landed on me and the brilliance that was once in her eyes were gone. They were filled with fear and sadness. "What are we going to do?"

"I-I don't know," I say dumbfounded. It took a while for the question to process through my head. I was shocked. but soon anger took over. I bet Ryan knew all about this! I'll kill him good.

"I'm not going to let them control my life anymore. I don't care whom I'm SUPPOSED to marry. I'm marrying Yamazaki and that's final," Chiharu said as she hugged him and kissed him quickly.

"I know. It's our lives. I'm glad they forced me into this marriage with Chiharu. but there is NO WAY IN HELL I am going to watch Chiharu get betrothed all over again to Ryan, Chris or especially Matthew. We love each other and that's all that counts," Yamazaki said as he put his arms around Chiharu.

"Then let's leave. We've all had enough? So let's go. I don't care if mother is mad," Eriol said.

"An forget father," Tomoyo said going into the open arms of Eriol.

"Wait. We can't do that to our parents. How can we leave father? He only has us. And you guys! What about your mother? What will she do without you three?" Sakura said once she managed to stop crying.

"Well. you each have points guys. But Eriol, Yamazaki. Do you not remember our cousin Meiling? She owes us big," I say smirking.

"Oh yeah! So since we can't cancel the marriages. they can. All we have to do is get Meiling to make them cancel all of the engagements," Yamazaki said catching on.

"That's true. We should get into contact with our dear cousin. Shouldn't we?" Eriol said joining in.

"What?" two girls said as a faint:

"Hoe?" was heard.

"Meiling is their older sister. She's 22 and those cousins of ours will twist at her every command. We caught her ALMOST going a bit too far with one of the guards last Christmas. Of course being the type of people we are. we said that she owed us big time. And know she twists at our EVERY command," Eriol explained to the girls smiling smugly.

"That's mean!" Sakura exclaimed.

"But it comes in handy. And Sakura. you should talk. Remember cousin Mary?" Tomoyo retorted.

"Cousin Mary?" the three of us chorused.

"Well.Mary is much like your cousin Meiling. except she went all the way and we caught her. So she bends at our every will too," Chiharu said giggling.

"How old is she?" I ask amazed that both of our cousins could be so careless and stupid.

"25 now. Back then she was 22 or 23," Sakura said thinking.

"So everything is worked out good then," Tomoyo said happily. We all were happy. We went our rooms and Sakura and I just sat and hugged. Who knows what Tomoyo and Eriol were doing, but the had the lock on, and as usual. Chiharu was yelling at Yamazaki. Everything seemed to be perfect. *Seemed* is the keyword.
