Chapter Seven - Engagment
====================================================

So, Tomoyo and Eriol's tragic love story ended and their new life together has been great. Eriol took Tomoyo to his parents and got engaged (Tomoyo is an orphen...). They often visited Tomoeda to see Sakura and her family and often, Tomoyo talked with Sakura and teased her about Syaoran. One day, Tomoyo went to talk with Sakura (as usual).

"Hi Sakura-chan!" she said and she walked into the room. But there was no one there. Tomoyo looked around the room and still there was no one. Then Tomoyo heard voices, giggles, and laughter through a certain door that connected Sakura and Syaoran's rooms. She pressed her ear against the door and tried hard to listen. All she heard were mumbles but she still recognized the voices. She smirked (or her evil grin or something) and opened the door ever so slightly and quietly. She saw the two sitting on the floor together, talking, laughing, smiling, and giggling. That was when she couldn't control her happiness anymore and rushed in the room, banging the door.

"Kawaii!!!!!!! I always knew you two loved each other!!! Ohohohohohohohohoh (I think thats her evil laugh or something)! So, when's the wedding?" Sakura shouted, "HOE!" in surprise and Syaoran had a dark crimson red face. Sakura looked at Tomoyo and she blushed too. The two stared at the intruder. Sakura spoke first.

"T..Tomoyo-chan..." she stuttered, "Uhh... ho.. how did you..."

"Get here? Find out you were here? Well, I come visit alot now and this was one of my visiting days. When I got to your room, you weren't there but I heard some voices 'pleasantly' talking through this door and I listened and saw you two! Ohohohohohohoh!" Tomoyo looked proud of her discovery.

"Well... umm... Miss Tomoyo.. Uhh.. nice to see you again. How have you been?"

"I've been fine, Syaoran. It's nice to see you again, too! Especially you getting so close to Sakura-chan!!!!!" Again the two blushed. Sakura hit her fore head with her palm and thought, "Why didn't I lock the stupid door?!?!?!?!? STUPID SAKURA! Baka baka baka baka!" She stood up, dragged Tomoyo into her room, and lock the door.

"TOMOYO!!!!!!!"

"Yes Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo 'innocently' asked.

"You EMBERRESSED ME in front of HIM!!!!!!"

"So we both agree that you love him?" Tomoyo, again, 'innocently' asked.

"NO!! Thats..That is NOT what I meant!!!" Sakura was flushed.

"Of course that was what you meant! What else could you mean?!"

"I meant as a friend! We are JUST friends!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, sometimes, 'friends' turn into 'lovers'!"

"Like who?!?!?!?!"

"Like.... me and Eriol! Ohohohohohohohoh!" Sakura sighed and Tomoyo suddenly turned serious. She locked the main door to Sakura's room and walked over to the princess. "Sakura-chan.... what do you exactly feel around Syaoran?"

"Mmm... I don't know.... I feel like I knew him since.. forever!"

"Uhhuh.... what else? Any...jumpy feelings? Any 'intimidating' feelings?"

"Well.... I feel all fuzzy inside and when he smiles, I feel like I can't move..... like I'm melting! And and his beautiful amber eyes are.. so... cool!!! I can look into it forever and ever and ever! When he laughs, I feel like I accomplished everything and that my dream came true! and-"

"Ok ok. You're ranting Sakura. So all this means that you do love Syaoran, right?

Sakura starting to think, "Was Tomoyo-chan right? Was this feeling really..that? The warm feeling that I feel when I'm with Syaoran" Can this truly be.... love? How come I never realized before? Why did I just realize it? It is love... it has to be...................... especially if Tomoyo says so... she knows what love is.....I....I...love..." Then Sakura said out loud, "I love Syaoran. Tomoyo-chan?"

"Yes Sakura-chan?!"

"I think I am in love with Syaoran....." Tomoyo squealed and she unlocked the door between the two rooms.

"I KNEW it!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"But Tomoyo-chan...how come I realized it so...late?"

"That's because you tried to denide it," Tomoyo softly replied, "just like how I tried to avoid love. And because you are just so darn DENSE!"

"What!?!?!?!"

"Yay! A double wedding!!!!!! I always wanted one!! The Wedding of Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura!! "

"Wedding?! Since when was I getting wed!!!! Especially with Syaoran!?!?!?! What if he doesn't love me back!?!?!?! What if my parents doesn't agree?!?!?!?!"

"You were never the one to listen to your parents ever since Meiling came around! Why are you so scared now?! And besides, Syaoran does love you!"

"How do you know?!?!" Then suddenly the door between Syaoran and Sakura's room opened.

"Because I got it out of him!" The person who spoke was Eriol who was dragging Syaoran into Sakura's room.

"You? But..but how?" asked Sakura.

"Well, it turns out that Eriol and Syaoran were cousins! So I got Eriol to go to Syaoran and do the exact same thing I did to you! Ohohohohoh!" Tomoyo laughed her evil laugh next to Eriol as he laughed his evil laugh with her.

"So it's set!" shouted Eriol suddenly, "We are going to have that double wedding my dear Tomoyo wants so badly!" And Tomoyo nodded in agreement.

"Wait!!!!" shouted Sakura, "why don't you crazy people let US decide for a change?!" Then she cleared her throat. "Syaoran? What do you think?"

"Well, it's not really MY decision.... I AM only a slave after all-" Syaoran started to say until Eriol cut him off.

"So what he means is that if Sakura loves him and wants to marry him then he will marry her!!!" he said.

"Ok then. But... don't you think it's a little too early? We're only 15 years old!" pointed out Sakura as Syaoran nodded in agreement.

"Aww... I guess we can't have that double wedding after all..." said Tomoyo as Eriol and Tomoyo sighed together. Then she brightened up again, "Well, atleast we accomplished something! So now, lets go to his majesty and tell him! Go Sakura! And you too Syaoran!" The engaged couple shooed the just found love couple to see the king, queen, and prince. After they left the two sighed. "Ahh... young love..." they said.

Now to the new found couple. They walked to the throne room together, hand in hand. Sakura knocked and the door opened. They both went forward but Syaoran lingered in the back out of good manners and bowed his head. Sakura took a deep breath to start.

"Father, mother... I have something to tell you," she said. The king looked confused at Syaoran but smiled at Sakura.

"Yes my little princess?"

"Father. I found the man of my life. The man I wish to live with for all my life. The man who will make me happy forever. The man who I feel that I live for. He is Syaoran. And to say it simply, I want to get married," Sakura said. Then Touya bursted into the room.

"Married? With that..that...slave kid?! No way!" he protested. His father looked at him sternly.

"Please come forward, Syaoran," he said and Syaoran obeyed. "I am sorry Syaoran but I do not intend to give my daughter to a slave."

"But Syaoran was not a slave! He was the Prince of China!" said Sakura. This time her mother stepped forward.

"Don't be silly Sakura. Yelan, the queen of China, was a good friend of mine and you and I know that China was attacked. Everyone of the royal family was killed with all the Li's!"

"Yes.... all of the Li clan and the royal family had died... except for me," Syaoran said quietly for the first time. The king looked at him.

"How about we quiz you and test you to see if you really are a Li?" he said. Everyone agreed. Touya spoke up first.

"What was the name of the four daughters of Queen Yelan?"

"Feimei, Siefa, Fuutie, and Fanren (I think that's their names. If I was wrong, please correct me.)."

"What was her son's name and what does it mean?"

"Xiao Lang and it means little wolf (again, if I'm wrong, correct me) ."

"What did Yelan call our little Sakura?"

"Ying Fa (please tell me I'm right or wrong!) ."

"Well..... you were right... but there is still one more test. The Li clan has special magic they are able to use. If you truly are Xiao Lang, you should be able to use this 'magic'. Please show us a demonstration."

So, Syaoran led the Kinomoto family outside to a few cherry blossom trees which never blooms any cherry blossoms. Syaoran explained that he was going to make cherry blossoms blooms on the cherry blossom trees and everyone doubted that he could do it. Syaoran turned to the trees and chanted a few magic words. A green sword (you know the one in the anime) suddenly appeared in his outstretched hands. He then said, "The Flower." and a card appeared infront of him (lets just say that the cards work for the Li family). He pressed the side of his sword to the back of the card (that thing he does in the anime to release the card) and a pink woman came out of the cards and went over all the cherry blossom trees in front of Syaoran, making them bloom cherry blossoms. The Kinomoto royal family gasped.

"You... you are... Xiao Lang...." said Sakura's mother.

"Nice to meet you again Xiao Lang," said her father.

"Hmph!" said her brother.

Syaoran smiled and bowed, "Now... may I ask Sakura's hand in marriage?"

"Of course! We were actually going to make you marry Sakura until Meiling came along but now since they canceled the engagment and Meiling married another, we are delighted to have you marry Sakura!" said the king as Sakura and Syaoran smiled at each other.
