Final Fantasy
Prologue
A tall well built man with brown hair and amber eyes, carried a woman with long honey hair and emerald eyes. She laughed as he spun her around in the garden, laughed because she felt to alive…and in love. He put the woman down and she fell on the grass surrounded by daisies, roses and lilies. She could be every man's dream. She had a tiny waist, perfect complexion and a figure that any woman could die for. The man looked at her lovingly and laid down beside her, looking like a happy couple. "Syaoran, do you think that well always be together?" the woman asked looking at the clouds.
"No."
"What!" she suddenly felt like she wanted to die.
"I said no. Well be together forever."
Her eyes clouded with tears of joy just hearing him say that. She rolled over to face him and kissed him passionately, like there was not a care in the world. They didn't know that three shadows were standing over them.
"Eww. Get a room, there's people out here who wanna enjoy the beauty of nature." Said a color-creamed woman with long black that was up in pigtails with ruby eyes. The other woman had violet eyes, creamy colored skin and dark violet hair that almost looked black. And last but not least a tall well built man with navy blue eyes and hair stood by the woman with a grin on his face.
"Do I need to remind you, that after the wedding you two can kiss all you want?" he asked and Syaoran gave him a death glare that could kill.
"Shove it Eriol."
"Shove what my cute-little-cousin?"
All Syaoran do was groan with annoyance as the others laugh. "Eriol it's not good to him annoyed like that."
"She's right…that's her job!!!!" the rruby-eyed queen cracked and they all laughed.
"Sakura, come. I have to finish designing your wedding dress and Meilin's bridesmaid dress…oh I'm so excited!!!!" she exclaimed with stars in her eyes and everybody sweatdropped.
Before Sakura could resist, Tomoyo and Meilin pulled her up and dragged her back to the mansion, leaving the two men alone. "Are you ready for your big wedding???" Eriol asked sitting next to him.
"Hell yeah and I thought I would be married to Meilin, thank God that didn't happen." He said with a sigh.
Eriol brushed a piece of his blue hair from his face and stayed silent. "What about you and me?"
"What!!!" he said shooting up
thinking he heard wrong."
"What. About. You. And. Me."
"I…uh-Eriol...you-are…"
Eriol laughed to see him stuttering and seemed to know what he was thinking. "I don't mean it like that Syaoran. I mean we all shared a great deal of history………all of us. You, Sakura, Tomoyo, Meilin and me. We've been together through good times and bad times, and now look at us. We've all grown and going to have families and be on our own with our loved ones, makes you to stop and look back on the past."
"Yeah it does………it sure does……"
"Okay Sakura, now you CAN look." Tomoyo said clapping her hands in happiness. Sakura looked into the mirror and was breathless as what she saw staring back at her. The dress was unbelievable. It was a white lace strapless bustier dress with sweetly scalloped lace neckline and hemline, full a line skirt with crinoline underneath for fullness, exposes her back and the re-embroidered lace has a pattern of cherry blossoms and peonies that came down to the floor. "Oh Tomoyo its beautiful, I don't know what I could have done without you!!!" she hugged her with tears streaming down her face.
"This is going to be the best wedding ever!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Remember next week is the final engagement party, that is going to be the night everybody will remember!!!" said Meilin joining in the group hug.
"Our little Sakura is all grown up and soon is going to have a family of her own!!!! This is happening way too soon!!!" Meilin said pretending to cry and Tomoyo decided to join in for the fun of it.
"Pretty soon she won't need us!!!" and Sakura looked like she was about to laugh at them two for trying to make her feel bad.
"You guys" –this made them stop and look at her- "I'll always need you, you two are like my family. You're like sisters to me and I swear that I will always need you no matter what the cause is!!!"
"Pwomise?" Tomoyo said childish like and stuck her pinky finger out and so did Meilin. Sakura smiled and intertwined her pinkies with theirs.
"I promise."
Little did they know a disaster was going to happen that might split them up with the guys, I'm sure Fate had other things in mind as the three girls laughed at the old days like little girls. Oh the trouble that was going to happen to split them up…………………………………
The final engagement party at Li's Residence……
Everybody there was enjoying themselves. The music was light and delicate and the people were nice and friendly. Sakura a black sleeveless dress that came down to her ankles and there was a long slit on her right leg, that came up to her mid-thigh. Her hair was up in an elegant bun with a few strands hanging down her face to make it look perfect, and a silver necklace with a cherry blossom on it and diamond earrings that sparkled in the light, as she walked. She smiled at all those approached her and shook their hand or kissed their cheek, but most of the men kissed her hand and she blushed madly all the time. Tomoyo and Meilin stood next to Eriol chatting like their was no time in the world. But unknown to them stood a woman with red hair and blue eyes watching Sakura and loathing the way she seemed so polite and innocent. What sickened her most was that Syaoran had his hand around her waist, when she should be there not HER. She gripped her glass so tightly that it began to crack, she noticed this when she saw her hand was slightly bleeding. Reaching over the table, she got a napkin and began cleaning her wound, making sure that it was fine she headed over to where the perfect couple stood. Smiling and holding hands. "Hello Syaoran…Sakura, this is a wonderful party you are having. I my self is enjoying it."
Sakura smiled and that sickened her as she forced a smile as well. "Thank you."
"What is your name?" Syaoran asked politely.
She smiled. "I'm Lei-Fan Konniwa. No need to introduce yourselves I know exactly who you are. Syaoran Li and your fiancée Sakura Kinomoto. Congratulations. I hope you two have a fine life together."
'While it may last, bitch.' Lei-Fan thought secretly in her head but kept smiling sweetly at the couple.
"May I have this dance?" said a man holding his hand out to Sakura. Syaoran glared but Sakura nodded and took his hand, he suddenly felt alone and she noticed it smiling evilly in her head.
"Syaoran if I may call you that, do you wish to join me on the balcony?" Lei-Fan asked.
"Of course." He said as he followed her to the balcony unknowing that three eyes were watching them.
The cool air brushed Lei-Fan's hair from her face and the moon reflected off her face making her look like an innocent child. Yeah right. This woman was the Devil herself. "Being outside in the air like this helps you think of what to do, it helps me countless of times."
"It does feel comfortable out here but I will always be comfortable around Sakura, she never makes me nervous. She makes me feel at ease."
Her smile faltered but then plastered a new one when Syaoran looked her way. "You must love her very much…"
"I do."
'Damn.' "Does she love you?"
He looked at her questionably. "Yes she has told me and showed me that she loves me."
"She must be really special, but tell me does a special woman leave her future husband alone with a stranger?"
The song ended and everybody clapped a long with Sakura and her dancing partner. "Thank you for the dance, but I must find Li."
He bowed respectfully and said, "No Madame, thank you." And with that he turned and left, leaving her alone but not for long. Meilin and Madison came up to her and bomboardered (A/N: dunno if that's a word, stay with me people) her with questions. "Wow Sakura I've never seen you dance like that!!! It was totally amazing!!!"
"Yeah, you have to show us how to do that." Meilin gushed.
Sakura smiled sweetly. "Of course I will but first I need to find Li. Have you two seen him?"
"No."
"No." they said in unison and a little too quickly.
"I saw him go on the balcony." Said a man then turned and walked off before she could thank him.
Tomoyo and Meilin panicked. "Ah……Sakura how about we go find Miss Tokoyo-Myo, she said she wanted to-Sakura!!!" It was too late, Sakura saw what was happening that shattered her heart into a million of pieces. She came back walking calmly but tears streamed down her face, then when she was close to the stairs she silently went upstairs unnoticed by no one but Madison and Meilin.
Syaoran pushed her away roughly and she looked startled. "Don't you dare even think that you could tear me and Sakura up Lei-Fan…….I love her to death!!! And I would also die for her!!!!"
Lei-Fan looked down with tears blinding her vision. "I-I thought…things would be the same…."
"What!? I don't even know you!!!!"
"We've known each other in the past." She said looking at him square in the eye. Blue met brown. And finally he remembered her. "Bridget???"
Sakura laid on 'their' bed crying silently. She looked up at the clock and it turned out to be midnight, that meant the party was ending. She wiped her eyes in a rush as she heard footsteps approach the door, then opened it. "Sakura?" She knew who it was, it was the voice of her ex-lover…if only he knew what she knew. But she didn't know nothing………yet. "Yes?" she prayed to God that she didn't sound like she had been crying.
He sat on the edge of the bed. "Meilin told me you came upstairs early and didn't know why, she thinks you were upset about something."
'Yes……you.'
"No, I just got tired."
"Really?" he wasn't convinced.
Sakura sat up and faced him in the dark, she was happy they were in the dark or else he would have saw her red eyes from crying. "Do you love me?"
He was shocked that she asked him that, since it was only a week from their wedding. "Of course I love you, you mean everything in the world to me."
'Everything in the world to you, so you could cheat on me……'
"Then show me." Syaoran didn't need telling twice as he gently made love to her in the early morning until four in the morning. They fell asleep.
Sakura woke up by the chirps of the birds and looked down to see Li had his arm on her waist protectively. She silently and slowly slipped out of bed and covered herself with the blanket on the floor. She went into the closet and got changed then pulled two suitcases out, and started packing. Tears poured down her cheeks as she packed, but knew it was for the best. She wrote a letter and placed it in the envelope, kissing it leaving a red lip print then left, without a backward glance.
When Syaoran woke up that afternoon he noticed she was gone and that there was a envelope on her pillow with his name. When he tore it open out fell the letter and the diamond ring he gave her.
