Chapter 11-Meilin's Wedding
Syaoran woke up in the early hours of the morning. He leaned over to his left were he found Sakura sleeping. Thoughts of last night came flooding back to him and he smiled.
Sakura was in a deep sleep, her mouth was open a little and some drool was coming out of it onto the pillow. (What?! Everybody always sleeps so perfectly! So I'm making Sakura not so perfect! Hah!) Syaoran smiled and gently shook her, she groaned and rolled away from him, he laughed and shook her harder. He got a massive smack to the nose. Only when she heard him yelling in pain, she woke up.
"Syaoran! Are you okay?" She asked, full of concern.
Syaoran pointed to his now inflated and red nose, Sakura laughed nervously.
"I'm guessing that was me." She said.
"There's no one else here and I'm not one to go around slapping myself on the nose!" He yelled. Sakura laughed and for some reason, he couldn't help but calm down and laugh as well.
They got out of Syaoran's bed and got dressed, Syaoran with his eyes closed.
Syaoran and Yue stepped out of Syaoran's house, it was hot and people were preparing for Meilin's wedding when she and Satou had decided to have it in the afternoon. Satou spotted Yue and ran up to him.
"Yue kun!" He said, hugging the uncomfortable Yue. "Isn't it sooo kakkoii? We're getting married!" He danced around a bit and patted Syaoran on the shoulder. "I hope you'll take care of her, Satou." Syaoran said, smiling broadly.
"Hahahahahha, if it's anyone who needs protecting, it'll be me! Have you tried her Chow Mein?"
"SATOUUUUUU!"
Satou gulped and turned around, Meilin was standing there, fuming, but smiling. Satou sweat-dropped and walked up to his fiancé.
" Didn't you forget to mention how BAD your yakitori is?!" Meilin said sarcastically. Satou hung his head and nodded.
"Yes ma'am, I make terrible yakitori." He glanced up at Meilin. "But what you lack in cooking, you make up in looks and intelligence."
Meilin blushed and started dragging her husband-to-be away, whispering in his ear. Yue and Syaoran stood there, dumbfounded.
"That was slick." Syaoran said, gaping after his cousin and her crazy boyfriend.
"Uh huh." Yue said quietly.
***(Let's just skip the whole day shall we?)***
Everybody was at Meilin's wedding, the Governor, Yelan, the whole troop of Japanese boys and the villagers. It was going to be a joint wedding, Meilin's best friend, Li Xiayou (I know no Chinese names! Sorry if it's wrong!) was getting married as well, to the carpenter's son, Chien Qui.
It was a lovely afternoon, the sun was beginning to set and it was just the right temperature, flowers bloomed everywhere and everyone whispered at how lucky the two couples were.
Yue stood near the back with Syaoran, as Meilin and Satou exchanged wedding vows, Syaoran gripped Yue's hand.
Meilin was dressed in an amazing traditional Chinese dress, it was a dark blue with gold trimmings and designs all around it, Satou was dressed in a light blue and white kimono and both of them looked like royalty.
The party began shortly after dark, lights glimmered and little animals seeking the warm glow fluttered around. Everyone was dancing, Meilin was dancing with Syaoran, much to Satou's disappointed, so he started dancing with Yue, much to Meilin's annoyance. So after a small, playful fight, Meilin ended up dancing with Satou, much to both of their pleasures.
Yue was sitting down, drinking some tea, when he heard the rustling in the bushes. He casually glanced to the sound and noticed someone crouching down. As Yue went to stand up, the person leapt out at him, grabbing Yue by the neck. All celebration had stopped as some men tried to get the man off of Yue but the man refused to let anyone near.
"One more move, and I'll slit her throat." He roared.
Everyone stopped at the comment. Did he say 'her'? Maybe the man was crazy.
Syaoran burst out from the crowds and stopped.
"Chen!" He yelled as his disbelieving eyes moved onto Yue.
Yelan walked up to her son and he turned around, grabbing her robes.
"How did he get here?!" He demanded. "I thought he was dead!"
Yelan looked at her son, the Governor came running up to his family.
"He escaped?" The Governor asked, puffed out from the running. Syaoran let go of his mother and stared at the Governor.
"Escaped? ESCAPED?! I THOUGH YOU KILLED HIM!"
"Well. We couldn't just kill him, so we imprisoned him." Came the nervous reply.
"You mean to tell me." Syaoran said, anger in his voice. "That even though we killed a whole gang of men, you can't kill the ringleader's son!"
The Governor was about to reply when Chen laughed.
"Hahahahahahha! Your eyes deceive you!" He grabbed Yue's hair. "I do believe this isn't a man!"
Satou bit his lip, Syaoran turned towards Chen and Chen ripped out Yue's hair band and, with a struggle, managed to untie the bindings.
Everybody gasped as Yue disappeared and Sakura stood there, speechless.
Suddenly, Chen stopped dead and fell over. Behind him was Tokio, a knife in his hand, covered in blood.
"Asshole." He said and walked off.
All eyes again turned to the girl; Syaoran ran up to her and put his jacket around her shoulders. She looked up at him, tears streaking down her face.
"I'm sorry." She whispered as he led her away from the gawping villagers.
When Sakura was asleep, The Governor, Yelan, Syaoran, Meilin and the Japanese boys sat in the Governor's house. Everything was silent until the Governor coughed.
"Er, how many people knew about this?" He asked, quite nervous.
Meilin slowly raised her arm, as well as Satou, Yelan also raised her hand. Then Syaoran, with a frown on his faced, shot his hand up, higher than the rest.
"Er, well, this is a very strange turn of events, er, Tokio, back in Japan, what would you do?"
Tokio's face turned grave and he looked down.
"It is, depending on the circumstance, we would kill the person in question."
Syaoran slammed his fist on the ground and stood up, faster than a bullet.
"No! This isn't Japan!" He turned to his father. His eyes pleading. "Please, don't kill her."
His father gave away no emotion; Syaoran was struggling to see what his father was thinking.
Tokio nodded and looked up.
"He's right, this isn't Japan." He went to stand up. "This is your decision Governor."
The Governor nodded slightly and the boys and Meilin departed, leaving Yelan and Syaoran left.
"Father." He started but the Governor raised his hand to silence his son.
"Leave."
Syaoran stared down and slowly walked out, he stopped by the door and kicked it hard, leaving a big hole on the bottom of the door. Yelan gave him a wary look and Syaoran left.
The Governor turned to his wife.
"How did you know?" He asked, shocked.
Yelan shrugged and poured some tea.
"I'm a woman, I know these things."
Da-duuuuuuuum! Mwaahaha cliffhangers are fun! Bad time to stop it though ne? I think that the next chapter will be the last. Inu Yasha fic next! Yaaaaay. I'm trying to buy the movie over the net, but it's so hard! Protesting is fun! But now I have a whole bunch of detentions. Hmpf! Stupid school! I'll update a lot faster, especially seeing as this is a cliffy and I'm almost done! Could someone give me some Chinese names please, as you can see, I don't know any!
