Meeting Once Again
Chapter Nine: A Day With You Part I
After the whole crazy ladies escapade, everyone who was currently residing in the Kinomoto kingdom had been told to meet in the throne room at 7:30 that evening. At the present time it was 7:25 and Sakura came rushing in with Tomoyo and Eriol. Chiharu, Takashi, Syaoran and all the others were there already, waiting for their arrival.
"Thank-you for finally showing up kaijuu," Touya whispered to Sakura as she sat down beside him. He had to hold in his yelp as she pinched his leg underneath the table. Chiharu and Tomoyo smiled knowingly that this would occur.
"Shut up, I'm early," Sakura whispered back.
"In courtesy of Tomoyo," Touya teased but the bickering siblings shut up as soon as Fujitaka cleared his throat.
"Well, now that everyone is here, I think we should being our discussion," Fujitaka began.
"Now, you know that we will be having a ball soon and we need to know how the progress has been going," Yelan added. At that moment, all of them sweat dropped, thinking of how they had been ditching their lessons A LOT lately.
"Well, about that." Sakura began trailing off.
"We've been busy trying to have other preparations for the ball that we completely forgot about the lessons. Sorry Mother, King Fujitaka," Yamazaki lied quickly.
"Oh, that is fine then. You will just have to resume your lessons tomorrow," Fujitaka said smiling. Sakura groaned in discomfort. She really didn't like the way their sensei looked at her.
"Well anyways, we were thinking. why don't you all go to town later. after your lessons," Yelan suggested.
"You haven't seen each other in many years, so it would be in best interest for you to all get to know each other once more. Tomorrow morning you will all need to participate in an activity together also," Fujitaka finished. With that Touya was left wide mouthed while the Li sisters were giggling helplessly, and everyone else was just quiet for that matter. With a nod, everyone took off, each in their own thoughts.
~*Later*~
"Sakura, I don't want to do this. I thought things for Takashi and I were going great, but. I've had time to think things over, and I'm not too sure anymore," Chiharu complained. Things seemed to be going better lately, but things weren't the same. And they each had a feeling that they never would be either.
"We don't want to do this either, but it looks as though we don't have much of a choice. Hopefully they got our notes about swimming though," Tomoyo said sighing.
"I understand you both, trust me, but did we really have to do swimming anyways?" Sakura asked fixing the wrap she insisted on wearing.
"Sakura, shut up and let's go," Chiharu said as they both dragged her to their place not too far from the palace.
Once they arrived the guys were already there, and so were Touya, Kaho, Xiao Hu, Mary and Meiling. Everything seemed fine, other than the look on Mary's and Meiling's faces. Something was definitely up. Once the girls arrived, they were within a foot of the guys and just stood there looking at each other before Sakura was the first to look away clearing her throat, and begin to set up their part of the dry sandy area. Soon, Chiharu and Tomoyo followed knowing what their sister was going through, as they were going through a partial complexity as her.
"So, how about we play a little game of hide and go seek in the water?" Mary suggested.
"I'm up for it," Meiling chimed. Everyone else grumbled in reply as they chose who would be 'it'.
"How about Sakura-chan to be 'it'?" Meiling suggested as Sakura pouted.
"Well, since there are ten of us playing, we should have one more person playing 'it' with her. Syaoran-kun, you go. Everyone else run while they count to a hundred!" Mary shouted as she dragged Touya and the rest ran. Sakura stood wide mouthed as Syaoran glared daggers into the retreating crowd. Once they were sure they were gone, Syaoran looked at Sakura as their eyes met briefly before Sakura looked away quickly. Syaoran began to talk as Sakura counted over him. As his voice got louder so did hers until he shut her up by shaking her by the shoulders.
"Sakura!" He yelled at her. At that very moment she had a petrified look on her face and he had no idea why. Her look soon turned into a cold one.
"Let go of me Li," Sakura said as she wrenched herself from his grasp.
"What's wrong with you?!" Syaoran screamed.
"You of all people should know that! Just shut up, leave me alone and let's play the damn game!" Sakura shouted once more before she dived into the water as fresh tears made their way down her cheeks.
"Sakura." Syaoran whispered to himself before he too dived into the water. 'I let you go once, I'm not going to be stupid and make the same mistake twice.'
"Got you Mary," Sakura said forcing out a fake laugh just to please her cousin. Although it was pretty good, she was able to see it for she had known her all her life. "And you wait to see what I'll do to you for doing that to me." With that, Sakura swam away in search of Meiling. She knew Meiling was probably pretty smart and swam to a more secluded area.
"Sakura, stay here, we need to talk," Syaoran said as Sakura looked around and he snuck up behind her.
"We have nothing to talk about," Sakura said as she was about to swim away, but he got a hold of her wrist already.
"On the contrary we do," Syaoran said as he made her sit down on a near by piece of land while she sighed.
"What is it that you want Prince Li?" Sakura asked in a bored tone as he winced of the formalities she was using with him. Every time he saw her again she was getting more and more formal with him.
"Firstly to stop talking to me like this," Syaoran said in rage.
"Whatever you say your Highness," Sakura mumbled under her breath. Syaoran heard but ignored her and sighed.
"Look, I've been acting really stupid lately. I don't know how I could have said you were a liar and all of that crap. It was just that crap. I mean, look at things my way, how would you feel if you hadn't seen me in years and the next thing you know you have a child," Syaoran explained.
"So you're saying this is my fault for "springing" this on you? Why thank-you your majesty. It's an honor," Sakura spat out bitterly.
"SAKURA DAMMIT! WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS SO HARD?!" Syaoran yelled.
"Because for the past few days, weeks, months, years, my life has been hell! Having to raise a son who is twice as stubborn as his father isn't easy you know! And when things finally feel as though they're looking up, that glimmer of hope is gone! The father of my pride and joy doesn't believe he is the actual father! And then you come to me with this.this crap? Who the hell do you think you are?!" Sakura screamed at the top her lungs; expressing all of the emotion she had been feeling lately with tears streaming down her cheeks and her eyes red now. Syaoran took a step back now knowing what she had been going through all because of him.
"I know you've been going through all of this because of me, and for that I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I've been such an ignorant baka, and I wish I could back all those horrible things back," Syaoran began edging closer to her.
"Damn straight," Sakura said loud enough for him to hear.
"So. maybe we could start our meeting once again? A fresh new start?" Syaoran suggested with hope. Sakura thought for a moment before lifting her face from where her rested and smiling softly.
"Sure," Sakura said as the two hugged and chatted about all of the things that had been occurring for the past years.
~*Another Place*~
"Okay so part A worked, for those two, now we have to put some other parts and they'll be a big happy family. We just have to get Eriol and Tomoyo together and Takashi and Chiharu together. Knowing my little cousins, they decided to use their brains for once and think. But not good thoughts," Mary said thoughtfully.
"Mine neither. They're so stupid sometimes, but come on, let's go. We have a lot of work to do. Auntie and Uncle can only do so much," Meiling said as the two girls teleported to another set of vulnerable couples.
