How much do you love me?

Syaoran and Eriol are getting married with Sakura and Tomoyo! They had decided to marry the old fashioned way that is to get through a ritual that the ancient Chinese people have to show their love to the bride.

Chapter 1- The Arrival

^_^ Syaoran's House ^_^

"Will you keep still?" a young lady ordered her little brother, patience obviousy running out.

The little brother was a very handsome young man with messy brown hair and amber eyes at around twenty. He was very tall and well built. "I can't help it! It itches!" he said.

"Xiao Lang, it's now or never. Do you want to get married to Kinomoto Sakura or not?" his other sister asked.

"Of course I want to marry her!" Xiao Lang burst. "It's just that...this itches!"

"What is going on here?" a lady asked walking into the room. "Xiefa? Would you care to explain?"

All the three stood up and bowed. "Sorry, Mother. Xiao Lang was just getting restless and I lost my patience," Xiefa replied.

"Do that tux really itch that bad?"

"Fiemei!"

"Sorry mother," Fiemei said sheepishly.

"Syaoran, are you ready?" a young man with blue hair asked, walking into the room. "Good morning, Auntie Yelen, Xiefa, Fiemei," he said and bowed.

"See? Even Eriol is wearing a tux," Xiefa spointed out.

"Eriol, is that tux itchy?" Syaoran asked pleadingly.

Eriol looked at Syaoran. "No. Actually, it is quite comfortable," he said with a smile when Syaoran groaned.

"Hurry, Xiao Lang. You have to get there early," Fiemei said as she and Xiefa continued to do some finishing touches.

$_$ Half an hour later $_$

"There! All done!" Xiefa said happily.

"Finally!" Syaoran said and sat down on a stool.

"Master Syaoran, it's time to go," Wei, their butler, said as two more of his sisters came into the room.

"Thank you, Wei," Syaoran said and stood up again.

"Good luck, Xiao Lang~!" all his four sisters said in a singsong voice.

"Are you ready, my cute little descendant?" Eriol asked from the black limo.

"Yea, yea," Syaoran murmured as he got into a white limo in front of the black one.

"Are you ready, Master Syaoran?" Wei asked.

"Yes, Wei. Let's just go," he said and sat back, thinking of what was awaiting for him and Eriol at Tomoyo's house. 'At least I'm not alone' he thought.

^_^ Tomoyo's House ^_^

"Are you girls ready?" Naoko asked.

"Of course," Sakura and Tomoyo said.

"Now don't get too excited. We don't want the grooms to be after our heads," Chiharu said smiling.

"And don't forget what you are supposed to do," Naoko chirped in.

Chiharu's cell phone rang, making all the girls jump. She quickly picked it up and listened to the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey, dear."

"Takashi!" Chiharu said happily. "Where are you?"

"On the way to Tomoyo's house. We'll be there in about ten minutes," he said.

"Okay. Thanks. We'll get ready. Bye," Chiharu said quickly and shut the phone. "They arew on their way here," she informed the others.

"Okay. Call all the bodyguards and let them get in position," Tomoyo ordered.

"No need for that, dear," said a voice from the door.

"Aunt Sonomi!" Sakura cried happily. "You came!"

"Of course, dear. I wouldn't miss the wedding day for my own daughter and my neice's for anything," she said and hugged Sakura and Tomoyo.

"They're here!" Rika called from the bottom of the stairs.

"I thought you said ten minutes," Sakura said.

"Takashi must be telling his lies again," Chiharu said angrily. "Let's get into our positions quickly!"

^_^ Syaoran and Eriol ^_^

"I'm afraid of going in there," Eriol said.

"I know what you mean. Who would know what those devils have in store for us," Syaoran replied and both of them gulped.

"Come on, guys!" Takashi said waking at the door of the mansion.

"Well, it's now or never," Eriol said and the two of them walked into the house. They stopped as they saw what was waiting for them at the bottom of the stairs. A row of female bodyguards were standing at the bottom of the stairs in a circle while Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, Sonomi and a few more girls were at the top of the stairs.

"Oh great," Syaoran whispered.

"Um...do we have to fight them or something?" Eriol asked the girls.

"Nope!" Chiharu replied. "You just have to get through a few courses before you could meet the girls."

The rest of the girls nodded in agreement while all the boys sighed. "What do we have to do?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, first, you have to eat this bunch of bananas," Rika said as a bodyguard showed them a HUGE bunch of bananas.

"You mean we have to finish ALL of this?" Eriol said.

"Well...not exactly. You can ask your fellow brothers to help you eat them. But you have to eat at least one each," Rika said.

"Can't we share one?" Eriol asked hopefully.

"NO!" all the girls answered.

"Come on. Eat up. The faster you finish it, the faster you can see your wives," Naoko said.

"Can you help us to eat?" Syaoran asked turning around to face the other guys only to find them at the door of the mansion pretending that they don't know anything. "Um...guys? Anyone?"

"Well, seems like none of your brothers is very loyal," Sonomi said smiling.

"Traitors," Eriol whispered but Syaoran had another plan.

"Anyone who doesn't help us finish the bananas gets punching from me and have to walk all the way back," he threatened. Immediately, all the boys ran to the bunch of bananas and started plucking them out. Takashi gave one to Eriol and one to Syaoran and took another for himself. In a few minutes, all the bananas were gone.

"That worked quite well," Syaoran said grinning.

"Okay. Now that you passed that test, you still have a few more," Rika said. "Next one is, sushi!"

"That won't be too bad," Eriol commented as another bodyguard took out two boxes of sushi.

"Really? Out of this box of sushi, only ten have wasabi. Syaoran, Eriol, you two choose first," Chiharu said and all the boys paled. (In case you don't know, wasabi is a VERY hot stuff, a bit like pasta, that is added in the sushi)

Erio and Syaoran gulped and picked a sushi. 'Here goes nothing!' they thought and put the whole thing into their mouth. Then Syaoran's eyes flew open and he opened his mouth. "It's..."
