I Choose Sakura

Chapter 13: Just Married
"What are we going to do?" panicked Sakura. "I don't want to--"
"You think I do?" snapped Syaoran.
"But I'm still so damn young!" complained Sakura. "Why me?"
"Shh!" whispered Syaoran. "We have to think of a stupid plan to get us out of here!"
"There is no way out of here except for that door we came in through and everybody's blocking that door anyway!" Laughter could be heard outside the door. "They're even laughing at the thought? That is--"
"I don't need to hear it," said Syaoran bluntly. Sakura sat on the bed and pouted. Syaoran sat beside her.
"Don't move," hissed Sakura. "Don't get up from here or they'll think we aren't--"
"I don't need to hear that either." They could hear the maids giggling. Both of them started moving away from each other; Sakura sat on the left side of the bed, Syaoran on the right. Suddenly the doorknob turned.
"No!" squeaked Sakura, and immediately dived under the sheets. Syaoran, getting the idea, dived under the sheets with her.
"Well," came King Li's voice. He coughed. "Sorry to disturb you two."
Then he started laughing. They could hear Queen Yelan and the maids and the servants and the important people all laughing and laughing and laughing...Sakura leapt out of the covers and retreated to the far end of the Room, while Syaoran jumped out and went to the opposite side.
"SURPRISE!" Everybody shouted. "IT WAS A TRICK!"
"Wh-what?" stammered Sakura.
King Li's eyes twinkled. "It is customary for the prince and princess to enter a room, and think that they have to bear us an heir, but in the end, it's always an old prank!" He laughed. "And," he added, "In the end, it's always so much fun to see the bride and groom's faces!"
Sakura flushed with embarrassment. Syaoran's mouth dropped open.
"Hoe," squeaked Sakura. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"How much more tradition do we have to follow now?" he growled.

Sakura closed her eyes as her hair was brushed. Finally, the stupid day was over. She could now relax and sleep and not worry about marriage any longer.
I can't believe I actually survived it.
"Princess, Kyoko bids you good night," said Kyoko, bowing as she went out the door. "You will be sleeping in the next room to your left.
"Oh, thanks," Sakura replied blearily. "Um, good night."
She was dressed in a white robe, and as she made her way to the next room, she yawned and rubbed her eyes. She opened the door and walked towards the bed.
Why is it so lumpy? she frowned. Isn't it 'tradition' to keep a nice, TIDY, UN-LUMPY bed?
Just then, the lump moved and turned over. Sakura's eyes widened.
"SYAORAN?" she shrieked. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED?" Syaoran immediately sat upright when Sakura shrieked.
"Excuse me?" he said crossly. "This is my bed, thank you very much."
"No it isn't," insisted Sakura. "Kyoko just said that I would sleeping in THIS bed, in THIS room, and I don't need your company, thank you very much."
"Oh look," muttered Syaoran. "Already married but already bickering like this."
Sakura's lip twitched. "Fine," she said. "If you're not coming out, then I'm going in." She lay onto the bed and yanked the covers over herself.
"Hey!" Syaoran jumped up from the bed. "Get off!"
"No," came Sakura's muffled voice. "If you want a bed, you can sleep on this one, but stay away from me."
Syaoran looked at her like she was crazy. I can't believe I saved the life of someone thisstubborn. But he smiled.
"Okay." He climbed into the bed, and stayed a bit of a distance away from her.

Sakura shivered. Why was the blanket so thin? She bit on her pillow to keep herself from trembling. Then she felt Syaoran yank the sheets away from her. Sakura gritted her teeth.
What makes you think this is your blanket, huh? she thought furiously. She attempted to yank it back, but then Syaoran turned over so that he was beside her, and then draped an arm over her shoulder. He muttered something in his sleep.
Syaoran! Sakura screamed inwardly. But this way, Sakura had more blanket after all, and besides, Syaoran's torso was warm. She wasn't so cold anymore. She turned and found herself face to face with Syaoran's face. (A/N: so many faces. XD) His eyes were closed, his breathing soft. Even though his eyes were the most mesmerizing thing about him, and they were closed, Sakura still found herself--well, mesmerized--by his face. His straight nose, his full lips, his broad shoulders...don't look any further, she reminded herself.
She sighed and closed her eyes. She was warm now, and that was enough.

The next morning, Syaoran woke up to his arm feeling kind of stiff. It had been in the same position for hours, but he didn't know what position. He yawned. So tired. He cracked open an eye.
Uh-oh.
His arm was draped over Sakura, and they were extremely close to each other. Sakura was sleeping with her mouth half-open, her shoulders moving up and down.
She looked like Sleeping Beauty.
She probably won't be when she finds out my arm's on top of her, though. Syaoran grimaced and tried to get his arm off without waking her up. The thing was, her hand was also on his arm, so it was difficult for him to move it. He tried to get it off, but then Sakura suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him closer.
"Eeeee..."
"Don't move," murmured Sakura. "Don't go..."
"Eeeee..." Syaoran tried to wriggle his arm out of her grasp, but she kept pulling him closer.
"Don't!"
"Eeeee..."
"Please..."
"Eeeee..."
"Mmmm..."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!" Sakura had bitten his arm!
"I said no!" shouted Sakura, waking up from her dream. She found herself clinging onto Syaoran's arm for dear life, and her teeth marks on his flesh.
"What am I holding your arm for?" asked Sakura, but it was really to herself.
"How should I know?" said Syaoran crossly, yanking his arm back. "Goodness. You didn't have to bite me so hard, you know!"
"Well, you shouldn't have waken me up from my dream!"
"What are you talking about? You bit me before I woke you up!"
"What happened?" came a new voice. Queen Yelan burst into the room. "What's going on?"
"Oh--"
"Uh--"
"We--"
"Were--"
"Just--"
"Having--"
"A--"
"Lovers'--"
"Spat."
"Lovers' spat?" Yelan raised an eyebrow. "I see."
"Well," began Sakura timidly, "I was dreaming and I mistook Syaoran's arm for a...a piece of food and Syaoran tried to yank his arm away but I thought my food was going away so I bit him and then he yelled and woke me up and--"
"That's it," interjected Syaoran. Yelan blinked.
"I see. Well, I leave you two to--um, resolve your lover's spat." Yelan strolled out the door. She paused and said to herself, "She bit him?"

Sakura looked at Syaoran. "Sorry for biting you," she said in a shy voice. Syaoran found it irresistibly adorable.
"It's...It's fine," he said gruffly. "Uh...it's not that deep."
"Can I see it?" Syaoran hesitated for a second, and then put his arm out for her to inspect.
"Not deep?" commented Sakura. "I think I bit you a little too hard."
"What were you dreaming about anyway?" Sakura went pink.
"Um...I'd prefer it unknown."
"Uh-huh." Sakura concentrated on his arm.
"Does it hurt much?" Syaoran grimaced.
"Not too much."
"Here, let me..." She put his arm to her lips.
She put his arm to her lips.
At that moment, a strange feeling overwhelmed him...Syaoran felt like...felt like...felt like...
Syaoran raised Sakura's chin. Sakura's cheeks were rosy.
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you or anything--I just wanted to make it better--"
"I understand," said Syaoran softly.
"You--You do?"
Syaoran didn't bother answering. The strange feeling was tingling all over him. He brought Sakura's face closer to his and kissed her.
