Last chapter:
Syaoran stood there all by himself, crying.
The next day..
In the morning, Yelan asked Sakura at the breakfast table, "It's time to decide whether you want to stay in our family or not."
Sakura was still upset about Syaoran's engagement. She snapped out of her thoughts hearing this bit of news.
"I.. I don't know, I don't have anywhere else to go." She looked down at her half-eaten breakfast, not a bit hungry.
Yelan nodded understandingly. "Don't worry, you'll still live here of course, but you will be Sakura Kinomoto instead."
She looked up and nodded. 'It wouldn't make any difference anyways..'
Everyone was either extremely happy or sad.
Well for Syaoran it was all too obvious. His feelings were written on his face, so evident. He sulked around the garden, all alone. He recalled those wonderful memories when he and Sakura would just sit here and chat until the sun went down. 'Sakura.. why do things have to be like this..? Fate is so cruel sometimes..' he thought sadly.
As for Sakura, she locked herself in her room after breakfast. Random sniffs could be heard from her room. 'Syaoran.. I guess I have to say good-bye to you and our old life. But I just can't..' she thought, staring blankly at her ceiling, tears falling down her cheeks.
But outside waiting excitedly, was Yelan. Meilin's mother had called and said that Meilin was on her way to the mansion at noon. A long limo arrived at their gates and Yelan ran up to it to let them in.
A black haired girl quickly stepped off of the limo, obviously excited to meet her fiancée. She greeted her soon to be mother-in-law with a big smile on her face and a little hug.
"Meilin! So nice of you to come! Syaoran is in his garden, I'll go call him for you." Yelan was almost treating her like royalty.
Meilin shook her head. "It's alright Aunt Yelan! I'll just go there and meet him, besides I wanna see his garden!" she ran down the path of rocks that lead to it.
Syaoran was slowly rocking back and forth on the swing in the garden, his feet dragging in the soft ground. Everything around him didn't interest him anymore, he only wished that life went back to the way it was before.
While he was deep in thought, Meilin had silently slipped into the garden.
From faraway, she spotted a very handsome young man. 'Oooo that must be my fiancée!'
She sneaked up from behind and exclaimed, "Hi Syaoran-kun!!!!"
Syaoran jumped up from the surprise and nearly fell off the swing. He whipped around, glaring at the new girl in front of him.
"Don't call me Syaoran-kun! My name is Li to you." He stated firmly, while glaring at her. He knew who she was, and had decided in being mean to scare her away from being his fiancée.
Meilin completely ignored his comment, assuming it was just a reaction from being surprised. But to his surprise, she grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the house. "Come on! Let's show your mom how much we like each other!" she smiled widely.
Syaoran stared at her like she was going crazy or something. He was trying to release her grasp on his arm, but it was like she knew karate too, because her grip was unmovable. And he couldn't do anything but let her drag him all the way to the downstairs living room, where her mom happily looked over at the "happy couple."
Sakura sat up on her bed when she heard loud noises coming from the garden. She heard Syaoran's yelling. '…Syaoran?'
She peeked out her window, which overlooked only part of the garden. She saw the black-haired girl from her dream.
"What..? Who is that?" her eyes fired with jealousy when she saw how she was holding on to Syaoran's arm like that. She stomped out of her room and downstairs.
"Syaoran! I see you've met your darling fiancée! Isn't she just the best?" she was almost bragging for Meilin.
"Uh…" Syaoran sweatdropped. But then he looked up and saw Sakura just coming down the stairs.
Sakura stared unbelievingly at the sight. 'Why is Syaoran letting that girl just hang on to her like that?' Syaoran's caught her glance.
They locked eyes for a second, but Sakura quickly turned away and ran disappointedly up the stairs again.
Syaoran, seeing how upset Sakura was, attempted to run after her. Meilin was still chatting away to Yelan about their "romance" that started only about 2 minutes ago.
Syaoran finally struggled free, and ran up the stairs after Sakura.
"Sakura!!"
