Hello everybody! It's me, Anime Queen, here. Did you like my last chapter? I hope you did.
Well now a Syaoran and Sakura wedding and a Tomoyo and Eriol wedding is in your hands. Well, I don't think that Sakura and Tomoyo will have a double wedding. I got my own idea. But how it comes out is in your hands, so review! And this time I'll try not to take so long to update. Plus, can anybody tell me how a Chinese wedding and a Japanese wedding look like? And how they are preformed?
The people I'd like to thank and count the votes for the types of weddings are below. Oh yeah, just to tell you, this chapter title has got nothing to do with this chapter.
Oh has anyone heard this Rurouni Kenshin Song- Kimi Ni Fureru Dake de? I love it, 'ah dake/', oh wait. I was about to sing it. LOL. Well, let me get on…
Ying: Thank you for telling a little information on how they look. One vote Sakura and Syaoran wedding, Chinese.
Julia and Tania: Thanks. Oh no, what if I make it that way? Hmm…it would make a funny chapter though.
Not applicable: Thanks! A Western wedding might be easy, but that's two votes Chinese and I'm doing my research.
wicherwill: This is my beta. Yay! One western with Sakura and Syaoran and with Tomoyo and Eriol eastern wedding Japanese type. Shinto sounds interesting…
Sakura Kinomoto: Thanks for the information. I really need it. That's three votes for Chinese and don't worry: as long as I have ideas I'm going to keep writing
StarSakura: It's time that Touya and Syaoran don't fight. Just once. The wedding and the preparing isn't going to be out for a while…
Anime-fangirl1: Hmm…I might do that Japanese and Chinese
Squish-by-me: Thank you! Don't worry, I'm going to keep writing
Black-thief: Thanks. I'll try to update soon!
Magma-dragoon: Eastern type wedding. Plus I'm doing my research. Thanks for the advice. ^_^
And remember voting is till midnight tonight. But you can vote on what type of wedding they want, until I say what chapter the wedding going to be. I don't know when I'm going to do the wedding.
So for Syaoran and Sakura wedding-Chinese 3 votes, Japenese-0, Western- 1, Japanese and Chinese- 1 Eastern-1
Eriol and Tomoyo wedding- Chinese-1, Shinto type, Japenese-1 a, Japanese and, Chinese wedding- 1 western type. Am I confusing anyone with this little chart?
Well that's it; domo arigoto.
Lets get on with the next chapter!
Disclaimer: This doesn't belong to me. Blah, blah, blah. Unless you believe I am one of the Fab Four.
Chapter 5 Pre-wedding picture*Around 4:30*
Sakura woke up feeling warm, and then realized that Syaoran was there. She jumped a bit at seeing the amber eyes stare sleepily back at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I woke you up," Sakura whispered to him.
"Don't worry about it," Syaoran told her softly.
"Okay…why you still here, I mean-"
Syaoran put his finger on her lips. "Don't worry about it just close your eyes and I will be here in the morning," Syaoran said, holding her tighter.
"Okay. I trust you," she said, kissing him on the cheek before she fell asleep again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Around the same time at Tomoyo's house*
Tomoyo tried to slip out of Eriol's arms.
"Where you trying to slip off to?"
"Oh, nowhere," Tomoyo lied.
"You're lying, you know."
"Well, I just wanted to start on Sakura's kimono."
"You know, you need to relax. Just go to sleep, you have plenty of time tomorrow."
"Fine…oyasumi…" Tomoyo said sleepily, drifting off to sleep.
"Oyasumi."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*10:00 A.M in Hong Kong*
"Gu-mu, he's not answering his phone." a ruby-eyed girl said
"Don't worry about it. He might be…sleeping," replied Li Yelan.
"It's 9:00 in Japan."
"Meiling, just be patient."
"Hai…demo, if he don't answer his phone soon I'm going to kill him when I get to Japan," Meiling mumbled.
"Meiling…go finish packing now, then go call him."
"Hai, gu-mu."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*In Japan at Sakura's house*
"Arigoto for the breakfast, Kinomoto-san, but I have to go. Ja," Syaoran said
"Bye. Gaki."
"Touya," Fujitaka said, "Good bye Li."
"Bye Syaoran," Sakura said, a smile on her face as she watched the familiar exchange.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*At Syaoran house*
"Hello Wei-san… how long you been here?"
"I just got back from England an hour ago," he said putting his stuff up.
"How was it?"
"It was fine and Kaho-san asked about you to."
"Oh," he paused, "Wei, I need your opinion on something."
"Syaoran-sama, is it about Sakura-san?" asked Wei.
"Hai… I asked her to marry me two days ago and she…she accepted. Do you think that I'm rushing it?"
"Syaoran-sama. I think that it's up to you two. You asked and she accepted. If it counts, I think that you're not rushing it."
"Yeah thanks, Wei."
"Begging your pardon, Syaoran-sama, but the visit has caught up on me. I shall be in my room, you may knock or call at anytime if you need me." Wei bowed, leaving the room
"Wei, you don't need to be so formal. Sleep well."
Syaoran lied down on the couch, relaxing… an hour later the phone rang.
"Moshi moshi, this is Li Syaoran speaking."
"Syaoran! How have you been doing in Japan?" the familiar voice seemed relieved, and Syaoran knew instantly who it was.
"Alright, Meiling, how things are in Hong Kong?"
"Nothing much. I've been trying to call you all morning-where-were-you?"
"Over at Sakura's house, why were you trying to call me?"
"To tell you that I'm coming there in," there was a slight pause, "two days and were coming there to live for a few months." Meiling finished rapidly.
"Oh, how long are a few months?"
"Oh about twelve months." Meiling said
"A year. A whole year."
"What, you don't want to see me?"
"No! It's just…oh shut up, you know what I mean perfectly well. We still have your old room."
"Oh yeah, my boyfriend staying for two weeks also."
"What?! You two aren't staying here in the same…"
"He's staying at the hotel. Mou who knows..." Meiling said before thinking what would happen.
"And you were talking about me," Syaoran grumbled
"Well, your mother wants to talk with you, here," Meiling said handing the phone to Yelan
"Hello Xiao Lang. How is Japan?"
"It's alright. How are things in Hong Kong?"
"Everything is fine here too…so did anything happen?"
"Yeah I, um, asked Sakura to marry me and, um, she said yes."
"Ah the card mistress. Good, or the Elders would have had an assassin on your back. So did you decided what type of wedding you two are going to have?"
Syaoran nearly fell over from the lack of concern in his mother's voice. "No, not yet."
"Take your time, we have everything ready here anyway. I will keep in touch. Ja." Yelan said
"Ja..." Syaoran hung up the phone, confused. Ready…anyway?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*In Hong Kong*
"Who was that?" said Fuutie.
"That was your brother."
"Really? What did he said?" This time Xiefa jumped into the conversation.
"He said that he was getting married to the card mistress."
"Really! Just like…that?" Fanren, the most systematic, looked about ready to faint.
"Our little brother is getting married!" Feimei said. Well, ano, squealed.
"And he didn't tell me?! I'll talk to him later. I am so talking to him. I'm going to talk his baka ear off!" Meiling walked upstairs to her room, still muttering to the wall.
"I can't wait till the wedding it's going to be so kawaii!" Fuutie said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Back in Japan*
"I'm so glad that I didn't talk to my sisters. I don't think my ears could handle it. In the mean while, I might as well get some rest before going to Tomoyo's house…I hope she don't have that camera," he snorted, "who am I kidding?" Smiling, he laid back down on the couch and fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*At Sakura's house*
"Hey Kero-chan," Sakura said.
"Did you get me anything to eat?"
"Kero-chan, they already know about you so why don't you go down there?" Sakura asked.
"I was asleep," Kero said, "I was up last night and I finally beat that game!"
Sakura sweat dropped. Where does all this energy go when it's time to work?
"C'mon I'll make you a bowl of pudding," she said.
"Can I get chocolate pudding?" Kero asked
"Of course."
*5 minutes later.*
"Where do you store it all?" Sakura said in amazement.
"What do you mean?" Kero asked.
"Oh never mind."
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-san, Kero-san," said a new voice.
"Yukito-san! What are you doing here?" Sakura said.
"Oh just paying To-ya a visit."
"He's asleep right now, want me to make you anything to eat?"
"Iie, arigato."
"Okay, because I think Kero going to eat it all."
"Hey, what does that mean?"
"Oh nandemonai," Sakura said while Yukito laughed softly in the background.
"So…Sakura…I heard that you and Li-kun are getting married,"
"Yep."
"Well I told you that you would find your number one."
"And you were right."
Sakura looked around, only to see Kero in the refrigerator. "Kero if you wanted something to eat you could have asked."
"Well you were talking to Tsukishiro-san, and I didn't want to interrupt."
"Well, that's new…what do you want to eat now?"
"Nothing now."
Sakura was about to say something back to Yukito, but the sound of the phone interrupted.
"Gomen ne, but I have to answer the phone."
"Don't worry about it."
"Moshi moshi, this is Kinomoto Sakura speaking."
"Moshi moshi, Sakura-san, Tomoyo just was going paranoid and wanted to remind you to come over today," Eriol said.
"Tell her hai, I still remember."
"Hai."
"Eriol, can you tell me what the surprise is going to be? Pleeease?" Sakura tried wheedling.
"Iie, gomen, demo I can't help you. I promised Tomoyo."
"Mou…not even one little hint?" Sakura whined
"No, the only way you can know is if you can read minds," Eriol said, immediately regretting his words.
"That just gave me a great idea," Sakura said mischievously.
"Well, what do you know, I have to do something! Talk to you later," Eriol said hanging up the phone. Even if his not-quite daughter didn't know how to formally read minds, he wouldn't be surprised if some strong, pink magic tried to bash its way into his head any moment now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*At Tomoyo house*
"Did you call her?" Tomoyo asked
"Yeah. Are you sure that he is going to like this?"
"Of course he will."
"Long as you don't bring that camera I think that he is going to be alright."
"I sure do miss it sometime," Tomoyo said, pretending to be sad.
"Don't dote on it," there was a pause, "But are you sure they're going to like it?"
"I'm sure of it, you worry to much."
"Because I have to."
"Let me do that."
"Then you'll get wrinkles."
"You know that's an old wives tale."
"Well how did I get into it again?"
"Because you broke off a dinner date, and you said that you will make it up."
"How about I make it up?"
"You already are, so don't worry about it."
"It's cold out here, let's go inside. Somewhere warm."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh, a café!" she hurried over, dragging Eriol with her, "Can I get a cappuccino?"
"And can I get a decaf coffee?"
"Sure be with you in a minute. Please have a seat at the table by the window."
"It sure is snowing a lot," Tomoyo said, looking out the windows
"I'm kind of glad that it isn't raining…as cold as this is."
"But I enjoy the rain it can be so calm and peaceful."
"I know."
"Here is your coffee and cappuccino," The waitress said, clearly bored numb in her thin pants and white shirt.
"Arigato. Cappuccino…I do believe that I'm addicted to them." They both sipped their hot drinks in silence, relishing the soft sound that often accompanies a snowfall.
"You know that Christmas is around the corner," Eriol said.
Tomoyo smiled. "Can't wait."
"It kind of makes you feel like a child, right?"
"There used to be nothing quite as rewarding as waking up my parents at the crack of dawn on Christmas, to open presents…so Eriol what have you got me for Christmas?"
"Nothing," Eriol said with a teasing smirk
"What do you mean, nothing?"
"That's what I got you."
"Oh, you are mean, just like Li-kun says," Tomoyo said, pretending to pout (and succeeding quite well, in Eriol's eyes).
"Knowing what you got will ruin the surprise, you know."
"I know. Okaa-san used to say that, and guess what?" she shook her head, "I still hate it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Syaoran and Sakura*
Sakura knocked on the door
"Who is it?" said a voice from within.
"It's me, Sakura."
"Hai, wait a second…Konbawa, Sakura." d
Sakura smiled. "Konbawa, Syaoran, ready?"
"We still have some time left."
"Yeah, what do you know, I'm early."
"Someone call the press!" Syaoran joked
Sakura could feel a smiled breaking out on her face, and she did nothing to stop it.
"Now you can never say that I'm not funny," Syaoran said, with an air much like a small child saying, "I told you so."
"Oh yes I can. You, Li Xiao Lang, are not funny."
"Want to bet?"
"What have you got planned?" Sakura said, backing away from Syaoran. Slowly. That's when she realized what he was about to do.
"N-n-no fair." Sakura said, laughing as he mercilessly tickled her.
"All's fair in love and war," he jeered, very much enjoying it.
"H-hai! You win, you win," Sakura said, between laughs.
"Say it," he said playfully.
"You are funny. Hai? I said it," Sakura said, pretending to wipe a tear.
"There, was that hard?" Syaoran asked, relenting and pulling her up.
"Hai," Sakura said, smiling all too like Eriol, "And I take it back."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Back at the café *
"We should be heading back now." Eriol said
"Should be…we have like thirty minutes."
"We have a while then."
"And knowing Sakura she'll be late."
"Yeah."
"Well let's have a little time to ourselves then."
"You know we aren't married yet," Eriol joked.
"Get your mind out the gutter! You are the last person I thought that would make that kind of joke," Tomoyo said, hitting Eriol on the chest.
"What, it was a joke," Eriol exclaimed, not seeing her jest.
"Let's go then, and not do anything."
Eriol stood up, pulling out her chair. Pressing his lips to her hand for a second, he looked at her. "I won't."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's go over to Tomoyo's house," said Syaoran.
"Yeah, they probably have been waiting for us for a while."
"You driving?"
"No, I walked over here." Sakura said sarcastically.
"Alright," he looked slightly apprehensive, "I hope she don't have that trademark camera."
"Or costumes."
"I think she's the reason why I'm allergic to cameras." Syaoran joked
"I say it once I'll say it again, you are not funny."
"Oh, fair maiden, you could hurt a vulnerable knight's feelings like that," Syaoran said pretending to be hurt and pressing her hand to his heart.
Sakura couldn't help it. She giggled, and within seconds both of them were almost rolling on the floor in laughter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Ten minutes later. Tomoyo and Eriol are there. For anyone wondering*
"Okay. Tomoyo. What have you got planned?" Sakura said
"Well there is the ancient Chinese marriage fortune teller…" Tomoyo said
"What?" His expression was difficult to read, and Eriol mistook it for apprehension.
"It might be interesting," Eriol said
"Yeah, and I already paid for it, so you have to do it," Tomoyo said
"Hiiragizawa. Daidouji. Let me get this straight. The most accurate fortune teller in existence and the richest household on earth are telling me these things?"
"Li, it's only a fortune teller." Tomoyo look confused, but she tried to talk anyway.
"No, it's just that…mama wanted to do this. For Sakura and I. Why won't you and Eriol go?"
"You know, Tomoyo, let's take it," Eriol said, determined.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the way there, in the car
"I'm kind of excited about this." Sakura said
"I'm not." Syaoran said
"Oh, will you stop being so grumpy, not like something bad going to happen." Sakura said
"That's what I'm afraid of." Syaoran said
"Huh, what do you mean?" Sakura asked
"Nothing, just thinking out loud." Syaoran said
"Well what usually happens there." Sakura asked
"Nothing much really." Syaoran said
"So what type of marriage we're going to have?" Sakura asked
"I don't know I mean we could have like a Western, Chinese, or Japanese type." Syaoran suggested
"Hard choices." Sakura said
"Yeah, hey look we there." Syaoran said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Pretty nice building she got here." Sakura said
"Yeah, I wonder how many people she scam for this." Syaoran joked
"Syaoran." She said firmly while giggling
"It was a joke." Syaoran said
The fortuneteller walks in the room. She looks like she was in her early 30's blue eyes and dark brown hair.
"Well hello there, you must be the couple that Ms. Daidouji was talking about." The fortune telling said
"Hai, if you talking about Tomoyo." Sakura said
"Well I suppose the scowling one is your fiancée?" The fortuneteller said
"Yeah, he'll be alright in a while he's just mad." Sakura said
"Oh how rude of me my name is Ryu Shu Fang." Shu Fang (A/n surname then first name.)
"Hmm kind; gentle and sweet." S+S said at the same time (That what it actually mean)
"I see you know your Chinese well." Shu Fang
"Yeah well my name is Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura said
"And my name is Li Syaoran." Syaoran said
"Li, Li oh yes, I heard that name before." Shu Fang
"Yeah." Syaoran said chuckling nervously
"Well let's go." Shu Fang
"You look quite young for a fortune teller." Syaoran said
"Well don't let looks fool you." Shu Fang
"Well when your birthday." Shu Fang
"Mine April 1st." Sakura said
"July 13th." Syaoran said
"Ok let me check the dates and see do they match." Shu Fang said
"Okay." Sakura said
"Well Ryu- Chan, how long you been in fortune telling?" Syaoran asked
"Well my family have been doing it for centuries, but I been doing it for years." Shu Fang said
"Oh it seems interesting." Sakura said
"Yeah it is. Well what do you know, they match perfectly." Shu Fang said
"Well is there anything else?" Sakura asked
"Yep, pick a date for it." Shu Fang
"I'm going to kill her when I got out of here." Syaoran grumbled
"Well you never know what can happen, trust me I've seen strange things." Shu Fang said
"Trust me, I've seen strange things." Syaoran thought
"Well a good date for this is March 25." Shu Fang said (A/n all the things that Chinese marriage there, I don't know if it is accurate or not, I made up the date, and for to see if the letters match in a Chinese wedding certain letters make up the words for to see if the partners are comparable with each other I don't know if that accurate either, so be mad at me if it is. Thank you)
"Well it does sounds like a good time." Sakura said (Wait March 25 that's Meiling birthday I haven't even realized it when I typed it.)
"Yeah and that is Meiling's birthday." Syaoran said
"Yeah it is." Sakura said
"Well here a little something I always do to young couples. I like to tell people what their future is going to be." Shu Fang said
"All right, I'm all for it." Sakura said
"Yeah it sounds interesting." Syaoran said
"What you finally believing in this." Sakura said
"Well not really." He said
"Well let's see let me find my tarot cards. Okay I found them well lets see. Hmm you two have a very interesting future in front of you." Shu Fang said drawing the cards
"Yeah, what is it?" Sakura asked
"It seems like it would be test to tell if you are true to your heart." Shu Fang said
"Huh, what do you mean about that?" Syaoran said
"Wait I'm not finish yet very interesting, it seems like this here someone is going to try and break up your love, what do you know it just stops there. Very unusual." Shu Fang said
Syaoran and Sakura look at each other worriedly
"This is interesting, well I guess this is a warning to you two." Shu Fang said
"I guess it is, I wonder what is it." Syaoran said
"Well I guess that is it, ja." Shu Fang said
"Yeah bye thank for your services." Sakura said
"Yeah, thanks." Syaoran said
"Don't worry about it." Shu fang said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They walk out the cars. Now they are in the car
"You think that is true." Sakura asked
"Well, I don't know." Syaoran said
"Well might as go to Tomoyo house, but don't tell them about the last part." Sakura said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Tomoyo's house
"Hey there." Sakura said
"So how was it?" Tomoyo asked
"Well it was very interesting." Sakura said
"Syaoran help me out you know I'm a terrible lair." Sakura thought
"Well tell me what happened." Tomoyo said
"I know if we do somehow get away with it, I know Eriol will sense something." Syaoran thought
"Well she checked our signs and told us a good day to have our wedding." Sakura said
"Okay what is it they hiding, hey know they're terrible liar, well I'll let it go by this time." Eriol thought
"And the strange thing is its on Meiling birthday." Syaoran said
"Well I know you hiding something from us so what is it." Tomoyo said
"Oh its nothing really." Sakura lied
"You are one of the worst lairs I know." Tomoyo said
"Okay well she did a little tarot reading…" As Sakura and Syaoran explained
"Oh really, well I'm sure that you can overcome it." Tomoyo said
"Sakura may I see your cards right quick?" Eriol asked
"Yeah, how come." She said handing the card to him
"Well as you remember you use the cards as tarot card also." Eriol said pulling from the deck
"Yeah I forgot." Sakura said
"Well I hate to tell you, but she's right." Eriol said
Well they spend a couple of hours talking and joking around
"Hoe, its getting late I better go now, ja ne." Sakura said
"Yeah I better go to, I'll drive you home." Syaoran said
"Okay." Sakura said
"Well that was an interesting visit." Syaoran said
"Yeah, do you think that Ryu-Chan was right?" Sakura asked
"Sakura, don't worry about it, okay." Syaoran said
"I yes I know…" Sakura said
"Sakura, you worry too much okay, what will happen just happen. We'll just try and make things better when it happens." Syaoran said
"Okay, thanks for making me a little happier. Bye Syao-kun see you tomorrow." Sakura said getting out the car
"Syao-kun I didn't heard that in a while." Syaoran thought
"Bye Cherry Blossom." Syaoran said
