The promise that have been Kept
Chapter 11
The Ceremony, going back to England…
Meilin slept in Sakura's room since she didn't get to check in a hotel. "Meilin," Sakura said while she looked at the ceiling. Meilin groaned. "Do I have a right to be Xiao-Lang's fiancée?" Sakura asked.
"Of course you do," Meilin said as she sat down, "You're the Card Mistress, a beautiful girl with nice manners and good attitude, you passed the test and you especially soften Xiao-Lang's stone heart."
Sakura smiled and said. "Thanks."
"No problem," Meilin said as she lay down, "Get your sleep."
*Ring, ring*
"It's mine," Sakura said as she got her cell phone, "Hello"
"Sakura, it's me, Tomoyo," the girl in the other line said, "When are you leaving?"
"6:00 in the morning," Sakura said.
"How long are you going to stay there?" Tomoyo asked.
"A week… why?" Sakura replied.
"Eriol and I will be going to England next week," Tomoyo sadly said, "My mother's company will be more successful there."
"Then where should I send the tape?" Sakura asked with a bit of tears in her eyes.
"I know that you're crying so please stop crying," Tomoyo said with care, "I'll just call you if we get there. Bye!"

Daidouji Mansion
"Who were you talking to?" Sonomi asked.
"It was Sakura," Tomoyo said, "Why? Is something wrong?"
"Tell me who was that boy with you awhile ago?" Sonomi said with a serious face.
"It's Eriol," Tomoyo replied.
"Is he your…"
Tomoyo nodded with a flushed face. "Then why didn't you tell me in the first place?" Sonomi said in a caring matter.
"Because I was afraid of you not accepting him," Tomoyo replied.
"Tomoyo, I will accept anyone that you love," Sonomi said.
"Thanks," Tomoyo said with a smile.

5:55 am (Airport)
"Sakura, don't worry," Tomoyo said while being accompanied by Eriol, "You'll do well."
"Thank you," Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo.
"You're always welcome my friend," Tomoyo said, "Then, the plane is leaving in five minutes."
Sakura stopped hugging Tomoyo and she said, "In advance, I wish you two a happy trip."
"Say hi to Syaoran for me," Eriol added.
"I will," Sakura said as she went inside the plane.
"Um… Eriol," Tomoyo said while looking at the plane.
Eriol looked at her. "What kind of a place is England?" Tomoyo said with a smile.
"You'll going to love England," Eriol said with anxiety, "But we'll just discuss this at the ice cream shop."
Tomoyo nodded and they both exited the airport.

Inside the plane
"I can't wait to see Syaoran again," Sakura thought as she looked through the window.
"Kinomoto, before I forget. You'll be going straight to my room to prepare for the ceremony," Meilin said
Sakura nodded an asked, "How long are we going to get there?"
"About thirty minutes," Meilin said.
30 minutes later
"Look through the window," Meilin said.
Sakura looked at the window and saw Hong Kong. "We're here!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Let's go we don't want to keep them waiting," Meilin said as she winked.
The got down the plane, made all the check ins and they went outside the airport. Sakura saw a certain chestnut haired boy with a cold look on his face. He was wearing a green long sleeved shirt and brown cocky pants. "Hey! We're over here!" Meilin shouted while waving her right arm.
The boy looked at her direction. He was damn hansom. He smiled the moment he saw Sakura. "One of your rare smiles," Meilin said with sarcasm, "I should have bought my camera."
Then four teenage girls and one fine lady appeared from is back. "My little brother smiled!" said the girl near to Syaoran's right.
"That's so cute!" said the other while pinching his cheek.
"Hey! That hurt!" Syaoran said while rubbing his face.
"And you're even cuter when you're annoyed!" said the other near Yelan.
Sakura let out a giggle since they look so funny when they argue. The other girl who didn't torture Syaoran said, "What a cute little girl!"
The three looked at Sakura and they said, "Meilin who is she?"
"She's Ying Fa," Meilin replied.
"Ying Fa? But my name's Sakura," Sakua whispered to Meilin.
"It you're name in Chinese," Meilin whispered back. "Ying Fa, these are Syaoran's sisters," Meilin said.
"Let me introduce myself," the girl with brown hair with a hair style like Meilin said, "my name's Ling Shin (I just made that up)"
"And my name is Shan Lin," the girl with black hair said whose hair is braided.
"My name's Xiao Ying (Weird name!)," the girl with ruby eyes like Meilin and long chestnut hair.
"Finally I'm the second to the youngest, my name's Yan Lin," the girl with black hair with highlights of brown said, "My hair is natural so don't ask."
"Ying Fa, let's go home now," Yelan said.

Ice cream shop in Japan
"England sounds like a great place!" Tomoyo said as she ate her ice cream.
"I know that you'll like it there," Eriol said as he ate his ice cream as well.
"Eriol, close your eyes," Tomoyo said.
"Why?" Eriol asked.
"Just close it okay," Tomoyo replied. Eriol closed his eyes. He felt very weird since he was the one who always ask Tomoyo to close his eyes. Then he felt something very familiar. Warm breath against his pale cheek and then soft tender lips touched those cheeks. Then he heard that something was placed on the table. "You can open your eyes," Tomoyo said.
Eriol opened his eyes and saw an antique box. "Sorry if it's all that I could give you," Tomoyo said while blushing.
"I'm always happy when it came from you," Eriol said with a smile.
"Open it," Tomoyo said.
Eriol opened the box and heard a piano. Eriol smiled and said, "Arigato."

Li Mansion
Sakura went to Meilin's room. "Tadaa!" Meilin said as she was holding a pink Chinese dress with cheery blossoms at the bottom.
"Is this mine?" Sakura asked with admiration.
Meilin nodded and said, "But before you wear this, I must fix you first." Then Meilin started her little make over.
---@@@---
Syaoran's room
"My little brother! Already have a fiancée!" Xiao Ying said as she watched Syaoran.
"Shut up!" Syaoran shouted.
"Why are you so cold to us but when Ying Fa is around you're so kind and gentle," Xiao Ying said with sarcasm.
"I don't know," Syaoran said as he looked down, "Maybe because…"
"You love her," Xiao Ying continued Syaoran's sentence, "I know everything about you and you know that."
"Yeah, I guess so. You're not like Ling Shin, Shan Lin or Yan Lin," Syaoran said to his sister.
"Because I don't jump on cute things," Xiao Ying said with a grin on her face.
He nodded and said, "I'll change now. You may go out now."
Xiao Ying nodded and went outside his room.
"How was you're talk with Xiao-Lang?" Yelan asked to Xiao Ying.
"It was good," Xiao Ying said while looking at the door, "but he did change a lot since he came back from Japan."
"Ying Fa is a great person to change our little wolf like that," Yelan said with a smile.
Xiao Ying nodded, "I will go and get dressed for the ceremony.
One hour later
Syaoran waited for Sakura outside Meilin's room wearing a green Chinese suit. Meilin stepped outside without Sakura. "Where is she?" Syaoran asked.
"Don't get too excited," Meilin said while pointing her finger at Syaoran. (Meilin was wearing a white Chinese outfit with small flowers for decoration)
Then Sakura went outside of Meilin's room wearing the pink Chinese outfit that Meilin was holding a while ago, her hair tied in a bun but her bangs aren't tied and the bun was clipped by a hair dress like Yelan's only smaller and simpler, her make up was a bit light and she was holding a Chinese fan.
"How'd you think?" Meilin said with a smile.
"You did great," Syaoran said.
Then Sakura shyly went to Syaoran and said, "Do you really think this dress makes me…"
"I told you," Syaoran interrupted as he placed his finger on Sakura's lips, "You look more beautiful than Aphrodite."
Syaoran removed his fingers and Sakura said, "Thank you. You look hansom too."
Syaoran blushed and said, "Th-thanks, let's go to the garden already."
Sakura nodded and they went to the garden together with Meilin. When Sakura saw the garden she was very astonished by the beauty of the garden. You'll see many kinds of flowers, birds mainly doves, a little fountain and a small lake. "It's beautiful," Sakura exclaimed.
Then she saw Syaoran's sisters. Ling Shin is wearing a purple (Chinese) outfit with a long slit at the side and her brown hair was braided in pig tails and tied in a bun. Shan Lin wore a blue Chinese outfit with little birds and flowers in the lower left of her dress and her hair was tied in a bun and was garlanded with sky blue flowers. Xiao Ying was wearing an orange Chinese outfit bordered with yellow lines and her hair was braided. Finally, Yan Lin is wearing a yellow Chinese outfit with a cute panda at the edge of the dress and her hair was tied in a bun and some strands of hair was placed in the side of her face.
"Let's sit down," Syaoran said as he sat in the chair in front.
Sakura followed him but the moment she sat down, five old men went at the garden. Everyone stood up (including Sakura) to honor the five. "You may now sea down," one elder said.
They all sat down. "We are here to honor Xiao-Lang's, the future leader of the Li clan, fiancée. Sakura or Ying Fa who is the Card Mistress and passed the test that Yelan Li gave," the elder said.
Everyone applaud. "Xiao-Lang," the elder said (the other four are just watching).
Syaoran nodded and went in front. He cleared his throat and said, "I, Li Xiao Lang, will be Sakura's airen in the near future and will promise to protect her at all cost. As the future leader of the Li clan, I will be held responsible if anything happens to Ying Fa."
Everyone applaud and Syaoran went back to his seat. "Sakura Kinomoto," the elder said, "Please come in front."
"You can do it," Meilin whispered. Sakura nodded and went in front.
"I, Sakura Kinomoto, accepts Li Xiao Lang's proposal and I will also promise that I will not break his heart," Sakura said and she went to her seat.
"Please come here," the elder said as he placed a paper on a table.
"Sign your names here," the elder said, "The paper will not be broken even if you burn it. It will be broken if Sakura or Xiao Lang doesn't love each other anymore."
They both nodded and signed their names. (Sound like a wedding -_-;)
"The ceremony is finished," the elder said and they went inside the room.
"Oh Sakura! I'm so happy for you!" Meilin said as she hugged Sakura.
"My brother's all grown up!" Yan Lin said.
"Now I have a sister!" Ling Shin said.
"You have three sisters," Syaoran said.
"Now girls," Yelan said, "Let's leave them alone for a moment."
"Yes mother," the four teenage girls said.
"Congratulations," Meilin added and went inside together with Yelan and the others.
Then they began to blush. Silence occurred… you can only hear water from the fountain and the birds. Sakura went near the lake and Syaoran followed. She removed her shoes and dipped her feet on the lake. "I feel like yesterday we were enemies who hated each other and now," Sakura said with a smile while looking at the lake.
Syaoran nodded. "Don't you think…"
Syaoran placed his finger on her lips and said, "I love you and that's important. Wo ai ni wo da Ying Fa (I love you my beloved Sakura)"
"Aishiteru Syaoran," Sakura replied, "and I don't know why. I keep asking myself for a long time."
"Me neither," Syaoran said as he looked at the sky, "Maybe because of that rainy day or that kiss or maybe I love you you're immature, stupid and loud."
Sakura rested her head on Syaoran's shoulder and closed her eyes for a bit. "You don't know how much I missed you when you were gone."
"Yes I do," Syaoran replied back as he wraps his arms around Sakura.
Their faces became closer. They could feel each others breath and their noses already meet. Then Syaoran's lips touched Sakura's soft and tender lips. Sakura wrapped her arms around Syaoran's neck that brought them even closer. It was a long passionate kiss and they separated and breathe really deep. "I'm sorry," Syaoran said with a face as red a tomato and was looking away from Sakura.
"I-it's okay," Sakura said while blushing as red as Syaoran and playing with her fingers, "Let's go in."
Syaoran nodded and stood up. Sakura wore her shoes and they went inside.
An elder approached them and said, "Ying Fa, I believe that a Card Mistress. Would you mind showing me your true power?"
Sakura nodded and said:
The key that uses the power of the stars,
Appear to me in your true form
Sakura, the one who has a contract with you commands it,
RELEASE
Sakura's staff appeared and she asked, "What am I going to do?"
"Show me your two guardians," the elder said.
Luckily Touya brought Yukito along and Sakura bought Keroberus with her. Sakura nodded and said, "Yue, the moon guardian. Appear to me in your true form."
The symbol of Sakura appeared below Yukito. Yukito stretched his wings and covered himself with it and became Yue.
"Keroberus, the one who uses the power of the sun. Appear to me in your true form," Sakura continued and the symbol appeared below Keroberus. He stretched his wings and became a lion.
"Well done," the elder said.
Yue and Keroberus returned to their normal form.

One week later (Japan)
"Let's go," Sonomi said.
"Coming," Tomoyo said.
"Let Eriol come with us too," Sonomi said with a smile.
Tomoyo called Eriol and they went inside the plane and went to England.
