From Chapter 8…
"Miss Sakura!" a maid said coming up to her. "You are needed! We have to do some fittings for you, for tomorrow's dinner!" she said dragging her downstairs.
"So much for the ice cream!" Sakura fussed as the ice cream was taken away and dragged into a room.
Chapter 9
Sakura was dragged into Tomoyo's room and was having measurements taken. "Ohhh! You will look awesome in this dress, Sakura!" Tomoyo squealed as Sakura stood on a stool and surrounded by several people. Sakura sweatdropped wondering how Syaoran was doing. How hard could it be?
It was just a birthday,
of a guy,
in the Li Clan,
turning 21,
becoming Li Clan Leader.
Sakura smiled and looked down at the dress on her.
Syaoran stood by a mirror surrounded by several tailors and a mocking Eriol, a laughing Touya and a smiling Fujiitaka.
"Don't. Say. A. Word." Syaoran said firmly looking at the suit. It looked cute with the black pants, white shirt, black jacket and the tie. And the combed un-messy hair. That's what got the two boys. They burst out laughing pointing at his hair and Syaoran growled and grabbed and brush and messed it up and shook his head and looked in the mirror.
"Much Better." He said smiling at his messy chocolate coloured hair. Fuutie walked in and threw herself on her brother.
"Awww! You are SOOO KAWAII, little brother! And mother wants you. She wants you to decide on the different stuff being put up in the hall for tomorrow." Fuutie said dragging him out. The tailor grabbed Eriol's hand.
"Your turn." Eriol groaned and stood next to the mirror.
Syaoran stood next to his mother who held numerous papers and maids and butlers ran around. Syaoran groaned saying yes and no to the different choices. Eventually he was finished and ran to his room. Taking off the suit he pulled on a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt.
"Better." He sighed leaving a note in Sakura's room and headed out towards the garden.
Sakura sighed looking in the mirror at the long light pink dress, with thin spaghetti straps, and cherry blossoms embroided at the bottom. Simple, yet perfect. A light layer of make-up was applied to Sakura and her hair was brushed and let loose letting down her semi-long hair. She smiled at the image before her afraid to touch it, afraid to ruin it.
"AWW!! Sakura! You look so kawaii!!!" Tomoyo squealed as she finished putting away all the make-up. Syaoran's sisters were already in their different gowns for the party and Yelen was going to wear one of the traditional outfits, yet something elegant. Meilin had her gown done and was out with Erik. Sakura carefully took it off and gave it to Tomoyo and changed back into her normal clothes.
"I can't believe it's his birthday already! Soon we'll be getting married!" Sakura smiled as she rested her hand on her stomach. 4 months pregnant, her fiancée's birthday and was to be married in a week. Life couldn't be more hectic than that. Tomoyo smiled and nodded.
"I have to make a few arrangements to Meilin's dress. I'll see you later, okay Sakura?" she nodded and headed up to her room. Finding a note on her desk she sat down and read it.
Hey,
I'm going crazy over this birthday thing. Meet me in the garden.
SyaoranSakura smiled and found her way to the garden. Not seeing him, she sat down on the swing. She smiled looking around at the beautiful garden admiring the handy work over others. She gasped as the swing started to move. Glancing behind her, she saw Syaoran standing there his arms outstretched and pushed her again as she came back towards her. She giggled and let him push her. Stopping, he wrapped his arms around her.
"So how was it?"
"Crazy! Did you have to do this every year like that?"
"Almost."
"I would be CRAZY!" he smiled and sighed.
"Yea. Tomorrow it's my birthday and soon we'll be getting married."
~~~***The Next Morning***~~~
"SAKURA!!"
"SYAORAN!!"
Yes. A morning of Syaoran's birthday was filled with screaming. Sakura screamed as she fell out of the bed, tangled in the sheets.
Tomoyo ran in and shoved her in the bathroom. In 20 minutes Sakura was showered, dry, hair and make-up done, and in the dress.
"You have to look just right. There's a lot of important guests that's going to be here tonight and mother is formally announcing your marriage to everyone." Fuutie said brushing Sakura's hair. Biting her lip Sakura nodded, nervous.
Touya and Eriol slowly opened Syaoran's door and saw Syaoran still sleep. Grinning Touya stood on one side and Eriol on the other, and Kero flew in and hovered above.
"1." Touya whispered
"2." Eriol whispered
"3." Kero whispered.
"WAKE UP!!!!!!!" they screamed in his ears.
"AAAAAAAAHH!!!!!" Syaoran screamed flipping out of bed, and getting also tangled in the sheets.
"It's time to get ready for your birthday, my cute little descendant!" Eriol
smiled. Touya and Eriol were already
dressed and ready. Even Kero had on a
little suit.
Syaoran grumbled and got a shower and pulled on the suit.
"The hair, fix the hair!" Touya smirked. Syaoran glared at him and he messed up the hair and smiled.
"It's fine." Syaoran said smiling as he left to go downstairs. The rest of the day was to be spent celebrating with the family and then everyone else that night. Syaoran went downstairs to find Yelen and his sisters smiling.
"Happy Birthday Xiao Lang!!" they all said happily. He gave them a small smile. Eriol, Tomoyo, and Touya came down with Kero joining Syaoran and family.
"Where's Sakura?" Syaoran asked anxiously.
"Ohhh, want to see my dear half daughter?" Eriol smirked. Syaoran blushed and growled at him. Sakura appeared at the top of the stairs and carefully came down. Syaoran and everyone looked up. Too him she was the most beautiful angel in the world. Touya sighed. His sister had grown up so fast and she was soon going to get married to the Chinese brat. Shaking his head he smiled as Syaoran took her hand and gently kissed it as she came to an end at the end of the stairs.
The rest of the day was a blur as people ran in and out of the mansion. The ballroom was being beautifully transformed and Sakura stood to the side, holding Syaoran's hand nervously as he talked to different people. She wasn't used to this treatment. People came over and said hi, completing them on what a beautiful couple they were and how Syaoran was so lucky to have a beautiful addition to the Li family. Sakura just nodded slowly blushing and thanking them.
"Come. We can take a break from all this. My head is spinning!" Syaoran said still holding her hand. Smiling she nodded as he quickly ran out of the room with her, before anyone saw. She sighed collapsing on his head and taking of the high-heeled shoes.
"I'm so tired! Even if it was just standing around and my head is spinning from all those decisions you made!" Sakura said leaning against the pillows.
"I went through less on every other birthday. But this year is special because I'm becoming Li Clan Leader and your going to become my wife as he kissed her sitting beside her. Rubbing her stomach that was getting bigger everyday he smiled.
"So how's my baby doing?"
"OUR baby is doing fine!" she said resting her hand on her stomach. Pulling her up, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.
"XIAO LANG! SAKURA!" four female high-pitched voices screamed from down the hall.
"Ugh. Anything but them!" he groaned as Sakura quickly put her shoes back on and quickly fixing her hair.
"Come on! I don't want to be late for your own birthday!" Sakura said dragging him downstairs. Guests were milling about heading towards the ballroom. As they saw Syaoran come down they got ready to wish him a formal happy birthday, afraid he would just growl and nod and get moving again. Seeing him with a smile on his face and holding a beautiful girls hand they all smiled.
"What a beautiful young girl!"
"Happy Birthday!"
"Who might this young lady be?"
Various questions were asked and Syaoran answered them all smiling and Sakura just blushed and held Syaoran's hand tightly. Leading her into the ballroom area. Yelen smiled and pulled them up to the front onto a stage. Sakura blushed as she looked around the crowd. Tomoyo stood beside Eriol recording. Touya was scowling at Syaoran. Kero was at the food table eating. And Fujiitaka stood smiling next to Tomoyo with Meilin standing next to Touya. Then Sakura spotted Naoko, Chiharu, Yamakazi, and Rika. She gasped seeing her friends had come for this. Yelen smiled at Sakura and then started to welcome the guests.
"And now, most have met Kinimoto, Sakura, who captured Xiao Lang's heart. They are to be married a week today!" Yelen said gesturing to Sakura. Sakura blushed and smiled at the crowd. Syaoran stood as he began to talk and Sakura stood beside him, not knowing what to do, afraid to move. She just smiled and looked down at her friends.
Syaoran led her off and she thankfully sighed and ran to her friends.
"What are you guys doing here! Thank you sooooo much for coming!" Sakura squealed hugging her friends.
"You look great, Sakura!" Naoko smiled hugging Sakura.
"I look great, I have to admit. Tomoyo made the dress so that it wouldn't show my pregnancy yet."
"Your pregnant! Way to go Syaoran!" Takashi winked hitting his shoulder. "In ancient traditions, when…" Chiharu slapped him over the head before he continued. They laughed as Sakura told them she was five months. Chiharu and Takashi were married and Rika was to get married to Mr. Terada.
"I can't wait! He stayed home though, because he wasn't feeling well!" Rika said disappointed.
"They're staying for our wedding to, Sakura." Syaoran said walking up.
"Really! GREAT!!" Sakura squealed. Tomoyo ran up with Eriol behind and Tomoyo started describing everything that had happened catching up with their friends.
"Where's Meilin? We haven't seen her in ages!" Naoka asked looking around.
"Touya and her are here somewhere, they're almost inseparable nowadays…" Sakura said looking around.
"BOO!"
"HOEE!!!!!!" Sakura screamed jumping and whirled around to find Meilin and Touya. Everyone laughed as Sakura glared at them.
"Never get tired of that word, do you kaijuu?"
"I'm old enough, NOT to be called a kaijuu, Touya!" Sakura said stomping on his foot with her heeled shoes. Touya winced in pain and bit his lip and walked off.
Meilin giggled. "Hey guys! Long time, no see! Isn't it great! I love Touya he's so sweet! And Yelen wants us to get married! She said it would be really great!" Meilin exclaimed smiling.
"No way! It's bad enough that he'll be my brother-in-law! Can't you just disown him, Sakura!" Syaoran groaned shooting a glare at him. Sakura giggled kissing him.
"He may be a pain, but he's still my brother!" Sakura giggled. The party was over with dancing, food, and talking and a terrified Sakura having to do a speech unexpectedly. A ceremony was held giving Syaoran the powers of the Clan and a new sword. Sakura had changed into a kimono and had been part of a dance ceremony with Tomoyo and Meilin.
That night Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Naoka, Meilin, Rika, Chiharu and Takashi had changed and were watching movies.
"I'm tired…so I'll see you guys in the morning. Syaoran said he'll take us all out tomorrow and we can go shopping!" Sakura said yawning and standing up. Syaoran nodded and followed Sakura out. The friends were shown to their rooms and soon all went to bed for the night.
