"Talking"

(Me Talking)

Syaoran looked up at Eriol and said, "Because Eriol is my brother."

"What? You two are brothers? Eriol, you told me your family died."

"They did, Syaoran must have lived the day the town burned down."

"They took me as a slave, but I got away, ran to the kingdom, and found a job. The King, then took me and tried to make me his slave, I barely got away with Sakura."

"I was away from town that day when it burned down, I thought all of my family had perished. I moved here and found Tomoyo. It is weird seeing my little brother again, you're not little any more."

Syaoran still had his hand holding Sakura's and he felt her hand tighten around it, "Syaoran," she mumbled in her sleep.

He looked down at her, "She must be dreaming."

"Seems she is dreaming about a certain young man. She had been saying your name over and over," Said Tomoyo giggling.

Syaoran blushed, "Are you sure you two are not more than friends?" asked Tomoyo.

"We never thought about, did not have much time to think about love."

"Well, if you risked everything for her then wouldn't you call that a promise of love?"

"I promised her that I would get her out of danger."

"It seems like someone's feelings might be blooming," Said Eriol.

"I would not want to ruin our close relationship with such feelings," Said Syaoran looking down at the sleeping Sakura.

Tomoyo and Eriol left Sakura and Syaoran alone in the room, "He sounds like someone I use to know, huh, Eriol?"

"Must run in the family."

"I'm sure that she feels the same way."

"Hai, but feelings can make you blind to see the obvious."

"That is true, very true. Hopefully, they see their feelings before it is to late. I feel that something bad will happen to those two soon."

"Hai, I feel it too."

Syaoran sat down holding Sakura's hand tightly, "I will keep my promise to you Sakura, I can't tell you my feelings because they might hurt you. If you don't feel the same way it will ruin our friendship and I know it will hurt you. I would never want any thing to happen to you."

Later That Day

Syaoran and Eriol went out to pick up some things for Tomoyo, and some food for dinner and as Tomoyo said the girls were practically all over him, "Sorry girls but he is taken."

"All the good ones always are," Said one girl sighing.

A girl with long black hair and ruby eyes came up to them, "Hey Eriol, who is this?"

"He is taken Meilin, this is my brother."

"What? Brother? I thought your family all died."

"They did but Xiao-lang made it threw the fire. I saved him and his wife from the river."

"Xiao-lang, this is Meilin, she is like a little sister to me."

"It is nice to meet you, to bad Eriol did not find your sooner then maybe you would be on the market."

"Meilin, I thought you found someone are ready."

"No, he went with that other chick Lena." (I always use that name in like all of my fics, of well.)

"I can't find any one," She said sighing but she looked up and saw a young man with dark blue eyes and brown hair.

"Eriol, look behind you and see if that man has a ring on his finger."

Eriol turned around, "Nope but some other girls are, are ready there."

"Damn. I have to find away to get his attention."

"Looks she are ready has it," Said Eriol softly to Syaoran.

Syaoran smiled, "Hai, but lets not tell her that."

"Meilin, I am sure you will find someone that loves you."

"Thanks Eriol, but it does not look like it will happen any time soon."

"It might happen sooner than you think."

"Yeah right," She said turning around and she bumped into someone. He caught her he before she fall. She looked up and saw the dark blue eyed boy with dark brown hair, "I… I thank you."

"No problem," He said smiling at her, "You want to go and get a drink with me?"

"Who me?"

"Hai, you."

"I…I… sure," She said following him. She turned around and said, yes jumping up in the air, but quickly controlled her self and walked next to her savoir. (Lol, I can imagine Meilin jumping up in the air yelling yes.)

Syaoran and Eriol laughed as she walked away with the young man, "It seems you are all ready pretty popular with the ladies n e Xiao-lang?"

"Hai, but there is only one for me."

"I don't have to wonder who that is. Still worried she does not feel the same?"

"I don't worry over things like that, I only worry for her."

"Her knight in shinning armor?"

"Hai, I guess."

"Do you know that the knight and princess fell in love?"
"Hai, but it won't work like that, that is just a fairy tale."

"Some fairy tales do come true."

Memories of the castle and Sakura's words about fairy tales filled Syaoran's mind, "They don't happen," He said coldly.

Back At The House

Sakura woke up and called for Syaoran, "Syaoran, is off with his brother," Said Tomoyo coming in.

"They will be back soon, Xiao-lang will be very happy that you are awake. He has been by your side most of the time waiting for you to wake."

"Brother? Xiao-lang?"

"Xiao-lang is Syaoran in Chinese, it is his new name. We had to change it so the guards would not suspect anything. Your new name is Ying-fa, it means Sakura in Chinese. My husband, Eriol, is your husband's brother."

"Husband?"

"Look at your hand."

Sakura looked down and saw the ring with her name on it and blushed, "Syaoran and I are married?"

"Hai, but only because they would have kicked you out of the town. The law is if you are not married before you are sixteen you will cast out of the town. Xiao-lang knew you would be safe here. It was the only way, he hoped you would not be angry."

"I'm not angry, just surprised. I never really thought about him and I as lovers."

"Just as friends? Don't want to be more?"

"Never said that I never wanted to be more, I just never thought about it. Does he hate being married to me?"

"Quite the opposite. But I don't want to cause trouble."

"I'm afraid he does not feel the same way, I don't want to ruin our friendship, he is the only real family I have. I guess I should keep my feelings to myself. I don't want to hurt him."

Tomoyo frowned but said nothing, ~I hope you tell him your feelings soon, or else it might be too late. ~

Tomoyo heard someone come threw the door, "Tomoyo I am going to have a mate soon! Yes!!! And it is all thanks to Xiao-lang and Eriol! I have to thank them. Oh I'm sorry you have company. Wait, you must be Xiao-lang's wife right?"

"Hai, I am." She said blushing at what she said.

"I'm Meilin, I'm a good friend of Tomoyo's and Eriol's who is going to be married! Yes!" she said jumping around, "This is the best day of my life!"

"Who is it Meilin?" asked Tomoyo.

"The perfect man, his name is Xin, he has the bluest eyes and the most handsome smile," Meilin gets a dreamy look on her face, "We are going to the ring ceremony tomorrow. Please let the ring say we are soul mates!"

"Soul mates?" asked Sakura.

"Hai, you don't know that…"

"Come on Meilin, tell us about him, don't leave us hanging. What does he do?"

Meilin starts talking all about him. Sakura looked at Tomoyo wondering what she did not want Sakura to know.

"Please Tomoyo, you all have to come to the ceremony I will feel better if you do."

"Umm sure Meilin."

"You too Ying-fa. Your husband did help me out."

"Sure, I would love to go."

"Thank you so much," She hugged them both and went out the door to find Xin.

"Tomoyo what happens in a ring ceremony?"

"Nothing, much it is pretty boring you might not want to go."

"It sounds like fun, what are soul mates? And how does the ring tell you if you are soul mates?"

"Soul mates are two people that are meant to be and well the ring it…"

"Hey ladies, how are you both tonight?" asked Eriol coming threw the door.

Tomoyo sighed, ~You came just in time Eriol. ~

~I knew you needed me. What is wrong? ~

~Tell you later dear. ~

"Meilin wants us to go to her ring ceremony," Said Tomoyo.

"Are ready, she is quick she just met him today."

Syaoran came threw the door and saw Sakura awake, "So sleeping beauty finally awake."

Sakura blushed, "Well Xiao-lang, it was time for me to wake up, seems I had a lot to learn before your return."

He blushed at her words as she played with the ring on her finger.

"Well, I am sure you are hungry, Eriol and I will be in the other room getting ready for tea time."

They left Sakura and Syaoran to their thoughts and Syaoran sat on the bed next to her, "You are not angry are you?"

"No should I be?"

"Well, I did marry you with out your consent."

"Syaoran, your family is here and I don't mind being part of it."

"You don't? I thought you would mind, I mean…"

"Syaoran, I like it here from what I have heard and seen. I know you love it here as well and if we have to be married to stay here then so be it."

"But…"

She put her finger to his face, "Come on I want to look around. Will you take a walk with me?"

He got up and helped her up from the bed and they told Eriol and Tomoyo that they were going to talk a walk.

Well, this is the end of this chapter. I can't think of any thing more to write. Hope you liked it, not much happened, but in the next chapter things will speed up. Please R+R!!
