*.::.*Preview of Last Chapter*.::.*
Syaoran sat on one of the couches in his bedroom and patted the seat next to him, pointing out he wanted her to sit next to him. Sakura did so, as Syaoran continued. "I know I was gone for a long time without staying in contact with you. And I'm sorry. I was afraid you would have moved on, forgotten about me. I really loved you Sakura, and I still do. I couldn't have taken it too well if you turned out to have a boyfriend. And the dumb clan didn't exactly want to have me stay in contact with you, anyway. They said it was part of the punishment for not getting the cards."
"I know, Syaoran." Sakura said softly. "You already told me before, you don't have to tell me again. I understand. Was that all you wanted to tell me?" Sakura asked again, knowing that he had more to say.
"Well, no. See, the clan having known that you're my girlfriend now, doesn't expect you to just stay my girlfriend from now on." Syaoran began.
"What do you mean?" Sakura interrupted. "You don't mean that we can't stay together, do you?" She asked, getting nervous of his answer.
"No, no. It's more like this. Now that they know that I love you and you love me and that our feelings are mutual, they'll want more. See, you're powerful and strong and so am I. Together we can have really, and I mean *really* powerful children in the future." Sakura and Syaoran both blushed at the last statement.
"Then what exactly are you trying to tell me?"
"Well, I know we've only been together for a short while. The clan are going to expect us to get married now that we're together and the whole world is wondering who you are right now since they finally met you when you arrived today." Syaoran got off the couch and kneeled on the floor in front of Sakura. Sakura's eye's widened.
"Sakura. I love you more than anything in the world. I love you more than life itself. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. And to make that this will happen, I need to ask you a really important question. Sakura, will you marry me?"
* :..::..: * Japan. Touya * :..::..: *
Touya got finally got home, feeling a bit tired, and decided to watch some TV. He started flipping threw some of the channels. As he was flipping threw the channels, he started to drink his soda. All of the sudden, he spit up the soda he was drinking and when he saw Sakura and Syaoran's picture on one of the news channels.
"We still don't know much of the beautiful and young mysterious girl. We have already, of course, identified Daidouji, Tomoyo and Hiiragisawa, Eriol and told you all about them. Yet, why was our future leader, Xiao Lang, in Japan? What was he doing there and when did he go without anyone knowing? Who is this mysterious girl and what relations does she have with our future leader? That, we still don't know. This mysterious young woman along with Daidouji, Tomoyo and Hiiragisawa, Eriol had arrived in Hong Kong, China this afternoon. Here is a video of what our camera man had gotten." Touya watched the whole thing, mouth open and eyes wide.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING WITH THE BRAT?!"

My Sakura
By DaShyGurl
Chapter Thirteen:
*~*Proposing To You*~*
-.*.*.- Syaoran's Point of View -.*.*.-
There I was, on the floor, kneeling on one knee with both my hands stretched out in front of the most beautiful and heart-stopping woman in the world. A velvet box was in my hand, opened up revealing what lay inside. Inside laid a really expensive ring that has been in my family for generations. An engagement ring. The ring that symbolizes love and eternity, or so I have been told. Ever Li female that was to be wed to the clan leader has worn this, and I have only one woman in mind to have this gorgeous ring slide in her finger and she is sitting right in front of me on a lovely couch with her lovely green eyes wide. My heart rate accelerated as I waited in anticipation for her answer.
Suddenly, her eyes went from wide to loving and full of love and adoration. She smiled at me, a full smile that made my heart melt and freeze at the same time. Her smile made me smile back just as well. With my eyes full of hope, I waited for her reaction and her answer. Her answer and her reaction was more than I ever wanted.
-.*.*.- Regular Point of View -.*.*.-
Sakura jumped on him, knocking him back on the floor in the process.
"YES!! Of course! I'd love to!" With that said, Syaoran gave her his rare smile that he reserves just for her as he kissed her lightly on the lips. He got up and helped her up as well, smiling still with a slight blush. Slowly, he slid the ring in her ring finger. Sakura was mesmerized by the ring and looked at it more carefully, blushing slightly as well.
"Oh Syaoran! It's gorgeous! Absolutely breathtaking!" The pink ring was a radiant 6.5 emerald cut center stone with another one carat step cut on each side, costing approximately a little over a million dollars, but Sakura didn't know the price of course.
(A/u Read ME: I don't really know how to describe really good-looking rings. So I got the idea of making the ring like J.Lo's engagement rings, which is totally gorgeous. If you've never seen her ring that Ben Affleck gave her, then go to this site: )
"Not as beautiful as you, Sakura. It doesn't even come close. I love you so much." Syaoran said in a gentle, soft voice, while smiling delightfully.
Sakura looked at him in the eyes and her smile became even wider. The two shared a kiss, but Sakura broke it up unexpectedly. Syaoran was confused and looked at her questionably. "You know, Syaoran, my dad will accept this for sure. I know I'll have his blessing. But…"
"But?" Syaoran asked, urging her to continue.
"But…Touya will be difficult to get him to agree on it. You know how overprotective he is of me." Sakura answered, with a slight frown on her face.
"Is that all that's worrying you?" Syaoran asked. "Because you know your dad can talk to him. *I'll* talk to him about it. I'm sure he'll agree just so you're happy. You are happy about this, aren't you?"
"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?" Sakura replied.
"Good. Then Touya won't be a problem. He'll just need a little bit of convincing." With that said, he kissed her. The kiss continued on for quite a while…
-.*.*.- Tomoyo and Eriol -.*.*.-
"The garden is so beautiful at night! I love how they decorated it here. I must ask Syaoran who decorated their garden like this so I'll have the person come and do a part of mine at home!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Eriol couldn't help but smiled at her enthusiasm and at how energetic she was. They were both holding hands and walking in the garden, which Tomoyo found absolutely romantic. Suddenly, Eriol stopped and Tomoyo looked at him in confusion. "What is it Eriol?"
"You know our relationship has been going great, right?" Tomoyo nodded. Eriol continued on, "And you know that I love you more than anything?" Again, Tomoyo nodded and this time, she smiled back at him.
"I love you, too, Eriol." Tomoyo said. Her eyes widened when she saw him get down on one knee and pull out a small violet box from his pocket. "Er-riol. W-what are you doing?" Tomoyo's heart started to beat faster and faster as she continued to look at Eriol in the eyes. Eriol himself, although trying to act calm outwards, was a nervous wreck inside.
"Tomoyo, I love you so much. I want to be with you always and forever. Will you do me the favor of being my future wife?" Eriol asked, his voice full of passion and tender love. Tomoyo was shocked and ecstatic at the same time.
"Oh my god! Yes, yes, yes! I'd love to more than anything to be your wife!" Tomoyo squealed. Eriol smiled fully and slid the ring on her finger. "Ohhh how I wish I had a camera recording this! I so want this to be on a video so I can watch again whenever I want to!"
Eriol continued smiling and said, "That's no problem. I had this planned and if you look over there by those peonies, you'll see your video camera recording everything right now." He pointed to the direction where there was a blinking red light signifying that a camera was well hidden recording everything. "I learned to tape from the best." He said.
Tomoyo was shocked for the second time that day. "Oh my god, Eriol you're the BEST! I *love* you so *much*! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tomoyo hugged him so tightly as tears of happiness were streaming down her face. "You know me so well and you've made me the happiest girl alive!"
"No, *you've* made *me* the happiest person alive. And I'd do anything for you my sweet." The two lovers shared an amazing kiss together, feeling as if they were falling in love all over again…
-.*.*.- A while later in Meilin's room -.*.*.-
All three young women sat on the large and warm bed in comfortable pajamas. All three had explained as much as they could have about what had happened ever since Meilin left, catching up to everything. Meilin, however, had noticed how both Sakura and Tomoyo were more quiet than usual. She sighed as she looked at the two.
"Alright, spit it out." She said.
Sakura and Tomoyo looked at her in a puzzled expression. "Spit what out?" Sakura asked.
"Come on! What happened? You're both unusually quiet today. You weren't like that back then when we were…" Meilin suddenly stopped and her eyes widened at what she just finally saw. "AHHHHHH!" Meilin squealed in delight as the other two covered their ears in fear of getting deaf.
"What did you just yell for?" Tomoyo asked.
"Where did you get the rings?? I know that ring Sakura! That's the ring that every woman wears that symbolizes that she'll be the next one to marry a Li leader!" Meilin clarified.
"SAKURA!!! Why didn't you tell me you got engaged! Ahhhhh!" Tomoyo squealed. "I thought we were all best friends here! You know you should have told me!"
"Well excuse me! Look whose talking! You've got a ring that looks like an engagement ring and you didn't seem to have said anything! Plus, I just forgot about it. I kind of got excited about catching up and I just remembered a while ago." Sakura answered.
"Well, well, well, well, well. Looks like both of you have some explaining to do. I want to know everything and I want to know it now! I want details!" Meilin exclaimed.
All three girls had fun that night, each of the two now engaged females sharing their story of how they got engaged that night. By the time they were finished, it was already 2 in the morning. Each girl yawned and as fatigue overcame them.
"That was so romantic!" Meilin said, as Tomoyo finished telling her part of story to how Eriol proposed to her.
"Well, I think it's fair to say that I we should each go to sleep now. I'm exhausted!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I agree! We'll see you tomorrow Meilin." Tomoyo said. Meilin just nodded her head and went under the warm blankets of her bed.
"Goodnight girls. Sweet dreams." Meilin yawned and fell asleep almost instantly.
Tomoyo and Sakura left the room smiling. Both said goodnight to each other, exhaustion catching up to them. As Tomoyo went to her room, Sakura went to her own bedroom. As she got in her bed, she started to feel a little uncomfortable.
'It's sure dark here…and being all alone sure doesn't help. But it's ok, it's not like there are any ghosts here. Syaoran never mentioned anything like that…it's so quiet here…and so dark…and starting to get creepy…and…. THAT'S IT! I'm getting out of here!"
With that thought in mind, Sakura jumped out of her bed and ran out of her room.
-.*.*.- Syaoran -.*.*.-
He lay in his bed, eyes closed yet wide awake. He hadn't been able to go to sleep, yet sleep was finally starting to come. Just as he was on the verge of falling into a deep slumber, soft knocking on his door was heard. He opened up his eyes and looked at the direction of the door, curious as to who on earth would be crazy enough to come to him at this time of hour. The door opened slightly as a head was shoved in, peeking through.
"Syaoran? Are you still awake?" He heard the person whisper. Realizing it's Sakura, he sat up on his bed as he said,
"Yeah! Come in Sakura! Is something wrong? What are you doing up so early in the morning? It's a little after 2!
"Sorry to bother you Syaoran, but…" Syaoran cut off Sakura.
"Don't be sorry. I don't mind."
"It's just that, Tomoyo and Meilin and I were just catching up and we lost track of time and when we finally went to bed it got a little too dark and creepy and I got scared and didn't want to be alone and…" Sakura rambled on so fast that Syaoran had a hard time keeping up with her.
"Shhhhhh, it's ok. Slow down, will you? Do you want to stay here tonight?" Syaoran asked.
"Could I? Please?" Sakura pleaded.
"Of course. Now come in, close the door and get in bed." With that said, Sakura obliged instantly and did as she was told. As soon as she got in bed, she no longer felt scared. She lay next to Syaoran and put her head down on the pillow, sighing contently. Syaoran put his arms around his small waist. Sakura smiled slightly.
"I hope I didn't wake you up, Syaoran." Sakura whispered softly.
"Nah. I hadn't been able to sleep for some reason. Sleep was just coming to me when you knocked on the door." Syaoran replied. Sakura's smile got wider as she felt so comfortable in his arms.
'Damn…she's so beautiful, inside and out…' Syaoran thought.
"I-…" Sakura began but was instantly cut off when Syaoran suddenly captured her sweet lips in a most sinuous kiss. Sakura's brain ceased to work as everything became indistinguishable. Every sensible thought in her mind was banished through his sweet kiss. Their tongues teased one another, dancing wildly in the others mouth. Sakura couldn't help but let a moan escape from Syaoran's fiery and mind-blowing kiss.
Her arms were still around his neck, and his around her waist, when they finally broke the kiss. Both were left breathless as they gazed at the other. Their faces were so close to each other that Sakura was able to see tiny gold flecks in his eyes.
"Your eyes are so capacitating." Sakura breathed.
"As are yours sweetie." Syaoran replied. "I'm so…fixated by them. Absolutely hypnotized." Sakura smiled at him. She was confused and gave him a puzzled look when he unexpectedly pinched his wrist.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked, perplexed.
"Oh nothing. Just making sure that this is really happening and not a some sort of sweet dream." Syaoran answered.
Sakura laughed and the sound of her laughter made Syaoran's head spin. He loved her laughter. "Oh Syaoran! You're so cute! Downright adorable! God I love you."
"And I love you. Now we need to go to sleep or everyone will wonder why neither of us would be awake when it's time to wake up."
"Alright. Goodnight, Syaoran. Sweet dreams." Sakura said tenderly.
"Goodnight, Sakura. Sweet dreams to you, too. Oh and tomorrow, I'll be showing you some more martial art movies, since I know you want to learn more." Syaoran responded. Sakura just nodded lay on her side, as did Syaoran, then put her head next to his chest with her arms against it. Syaoran put his arms around her waist once more. The sound of his heart beat lulled Sakura to sleep, while the scent of her hair drove Syaoran crazy. Yet, he felt her breathing grow deep and even, indicating she had fallen asleep and he too fell asleep almost instantly afterwards, a smile on both his and her lips.
