The Family curse

Weeks later, 5 months to be exact, Sakura happily entered her shop called Ever After, she decided that she had wanted to be there early because they were meeting some new customers. She began to hum in melodic tone and placed the flowers she had bought onto an empty vase. She noticed Tomoyo coming her way, and decided to greet her.

"Ohayo Tomoyo chan" Sakura gave Tomoyo her one hundred dollar smile

"Ohayo Sakura- you're here early" Tomoyo greeted Sakura and returned her smile with of her own.

"Well I heard that we have new customers, and so I decided to come by earlier than usual to meet them, ne?"

"Hai, they've arrived already, and their over there by the love seat, checking out some of our creations" Tomoyo pointed towards a pink love seat where to young couples, who seemed, happy and very much in love, were looking through their design books.

Sakura and Tomoyo approached them and Tomoyo gladly introduced Sakura to the lovely young couple.

"Konichiwa, this is Sakura kinomoto my partner in business"

Sakura extended her hand out to each of them and both gladly shook it, "Ohayo, I'm Kinomoto Sakura, thanks so much for considering Ever After to organize your wedding. I promise that you won't be disappointed. Here we make sure that our customers receive best quality, making sure that you're wedding day is a memorable one; after all forever start on that day."

The two young couples, nodded their heads in approvement, "Well Kinomoto-chan we are very glad to know that our wedding is in good hands."

Sakura smiled at them, she's love to stay and help them out along wit Tomoyo but she remembered that she had some paper work that she had to do, so she gladly excused herself and made her way towards her office.

Syaoran was at his and Eriol's studio and they had Meiling over. He was persuing her to consider having his pictures be published on her magazine for she was the editor and chief of Teen Queen magazine.

"Onegai, Meiling-chan, but please, it's not like you aren't my cousin, come on"

"I get what you are saying Syaoran, but I don't see a very interesting topic."

Syaoran looked at his cousin in bewilderment; he could not believe that she was refusing him that easily.

"Mei, weddings, don't tell me that's not a very good topic, you don't know how many teens out there are fantasizing on how their weddings will turn out."

Meiling sighed, she should have known it, her cousin is not one to give up, "I know Syaoran, and I also know that you are very good at capturing moments, like take this one for example she is so cute," Meiling pointed to a picture of a very adorable flower girl on a light pink kimono, "but we already did a piece on Asian weddings last year, now if we're going to try that again, then were going to need a whole new topic on it to make it more interesting."

Syaoran growled in frustration, suddenly they heard a loud thud and turned towards the stairs where poor Eriol was sitting flat on his butt. The two of them rushed towards his aid.

Meiling shook her head at the blue haired man, "You Eriol, you are such a cluts sometimes,"

Eriol laughed sarcastically. Syaoran who was crouching behing him helped him up, "Are you alright buddy?"

"Yea I'm fine, you know what, that damn stair is to slippery, why not try putting a carpet on it or something,"

Syaoran looked at his friend and shook his head, "No but seriously Eriol, are you ok?"

Eriol brushed dirt of his pants, "Yea I'm fine"

As the two were talking, Meiling was looking at pictures that Eriol was carrying down that was the cause of his fall, she was examining them carefully and on it revealed a girl with auburn hair, the image would have been a picture perfect of every photo was not of her falling or crying like a baby, or messing up on something.

"Who is she? She looks very familiar?" Meiling asked her cousin but didn't turn her gaze away from the picture.

Syaoran looked at her as if she was crazy taking interest on such pictures, "Uh that's Kinomoto Sakura, I sent pictures of her along with others that I sent you before."

"Oh, now I remember, she's the wedding planner, she's the one who are always brides maids on weddings but till now she still can't manage to find herself a husband,"

"Uh that's because no guy would take a liking onto marrying her," Eriol responded coolly.

Syaoran still looked bewildered, and it caught him on why his cousin is so interested.

"Wait a minute, what got you so interested about her anyways?

"This is it Syaoran"

"This is what?" Now he was even more confused

"I can do a story on her, funky designer, all time brides maid, is there any way that you can contact her?"

"Wait a minute, what?"

"Syaoran, don't act dumb okie, look I can do a story on this girl, I can just picture it now." She said as her hands was motioning on her face as if imagining a picturesque sight, "We'll entitle the article, Always the bride's maid, Never the bride, I can't wait to see how she would plan her own wedding, so Syaoran is there anyway you can contact her?"

"Wait, if I say yes, what's in it for me?"

"Well, that's easy, you can be the photographer, this story can be big Syaoran, after all I hear that she is a very famous wedding planner, known in all over Japan, this is where you can get your big break,"

Syaoran smiled at the thought.

"So how about it, cousin of mine?"

He looked at Meiling for a moment, and the finally, decided to agree.

"Well Meiling Li, you got yourself a deal."

Sakura was walking along the streets of Tomoeda and she suddenly bumped into someone, she looked up and blushed, it was non other than Yukito.

"Sakura, Ohayo" He greeted her with a hug

"Ohayo gazaimasu Yukito-san, gomen ne, for bumping into you"

"Daijobu, so how have ya been?"

"I've been good you?" Sakura smiled at him, as they started to walk along the streets

"I've beed great, actually, the only thing that is waiting to make my life even better is to get married you know what I mean right Sakura,"

Sakura blushed, she inwardly thought, that Yukito was finally going to propose to her, sure the both of them haven't really been dating of anything, but Sakura and Yukito have known each other for so long, so that's just the same.

"Well Yukito, do you have anyone in mind?"

Yukito looked at her and smiled, this got Sakura to blush even more, "Yea actually I do"

'Oh KAMI!' Sakura thought, her dreams are finally coming true, ever since the first day that she had layed eyes on him she had fallen inlove with him.

"Well mind telling me who?"

"Well, I don't want to surprise you or anything."

Sakura's smile got wider

"I promise I won't scream HOEEE!"

"Hai, well I was going to propose to.."

"Yukito-kun!"

Sakura and Yukito turned towards the direction of where the scream came from, and only to find Eriol's cousin Nakuru

"Konichiwa Nakuru-san" Sakura and Yukito greeted her in unison

The two gladly began to talk

"So Sakura-chan how are you?" Nakuru asked her with a bright smile shown across her face.

"I feel really good you?"

"I'm feeling better than ever, but if you'll excuseme Sakura chan, Yukito-san promised to take me to the amusement park today, would you like to come?"

"Iie, it's quite alright"

"Okie, well Ja ne Sakura?" Yukito waved at her as he and Nakuru walked away.

"Hai, Ja"

As soon as they were both of her sight she continued her walk around the busy streets of Tomoeda.

Syaoran and Eriol were thinking of a way to persuade Sakura to agree with them.

"Oi, Syaoran, buddy, you have got wrong timing"

"What ever, come on, how hard can it be?"

"Apparently harder than ever imagined," Eriol started to look up into space

"How hard?" Syaoran gulped

"All I can say is that, you had better start preparing your last will and Testament, and also start preparing for you're death wish, I'm pretty sure Sakura is still ticked of about what you did to her, and from the looks of it, she might want to murder you."

"Great, just what I need, but her think about it, if she is planning to kill me, I'm sure I'll still be able to wish for my death wish, and I'll just wish for her to agree with me on this preposition, and when everything is all settled I'll just gladly run away."

"Nice try buddy, but come on be more rational here."

"hai you're right"

The two of them began to think more until one of them has the perfect idea,

"I know, how about we just go over there"

"yea Eriol, and what will she have us do throw us out of her shop?"

"Hey it's worth a try, come on"

"Fine, fine"

And the two of them got ready, headed towards Sakura and Tomoyo's shop.

---

Sakura walked into the shop, to find a face of her friends from elementary school and another one who'm she just wished she could erase as if it never exited on the face of the earth.

"WHAT, ARE , YOU DOING HERE!!" Sakura marched over to Syaoran and started to point harshly at his well toned chest.

"You now Sakura it's not very nice to point,"

"SHUT UP, just SHUT the HELL UP!"

"Oh didn't you also know that it's not very nice to yell in public, as well."

Sakura screamed and frustration, and Tomoyo who was snuggling closely to Eriol, let's just say that a few days after the wedding the two decided to hook, and are now happily inlove, came over to Sakura to try and calm her down.

"Calm down Sakura-chan, Syaoran and Eriol are just here because they have an offer to make, please do it for your dear old cousin and best friend and just hear them out."

"Fine fine" Sakura mumbled defeated.

Sakura led Syaoron into her office and the two began to talk.

"So, well then talk,"

"Okie, well my cousin wants to do an article on you, and what she wants is give us the details on how you would organize your own wedding."

Sakura looked at him questioningly, "Meaning?"

"Meaning, we want to you to wear a wedding gown and pose for us, and do all those other stuff that a bride does."

Sakura slowly chuckled, and looked at Syaoran with rage in her eyes.

"Look , Li, I will not wear a wedding gown unless I am the one who's getting married"

"Come on"

"I said no!" Sakura yelled at him, got up from her seat, and dragged Syaoran out the door."

"Come one Sakura pleas, I'll make you a deal."

Sakura stopped dragging him and looked at him straight

"Okie, what's you're deal?"

"Okie, you help me, and I find you a boy friend?"

"No"

"No?"

"No, as in, I already found someone and that's a no!"

Syaoran decided to protest even more, but Sakura was persistent and he found himself outside her shop, with a hand imprinted across his face, along with Eriol who was shaking his head.

That Sunday, Sakura and Tomoyo was over at her parent's mansion as every Sunday they would have a family gathering there. Sakura was reading one of the articles on Teen Queen Magazine, where a full article about her and her pictures on Chiharu's wedding, the ones where she had completely embarrassed herself was shown, with a title She's t it again!

"I HATE HIM!!!!!" Sakura screamed and her whole family covered their ears.

Later on that day, during lunch, her family was talking to her, and persuading her about when she will get married.

"Sakura honey when are you going to get married?" Her mother asked her

"Soon mom, soon"

"Sakura sweety how old are you?" Her aunt Sonomi asked

"I'm 24 aunty"

"Actually mom, aunty, Sakura will be turning 25 this year" Tomoyo added

At the mention of her age both her mom and her aunt gasped

Sonomi and Nadeshiko looked at Sakura and then at one another

"Oh no!" Nadeshio began

"I know what you mean, Naddy" Sonomi joined

"Sakura honey, you do know about our family curse, right?" her mom asked

"Yes sweety, if you pass 25 without being married then that's it for you sweety, you are going to grow old, an old made to be exact."

"Well actually mom aunty, I'm pretty sure I won't grow into an old maid, because I know that I will get married soon."

"REALLY!" Everyone cried

"Yup"

"Oh wait a minute, does this guy know, that you're going to get married to him?" Fujitaka ask with a playful grin across his face

"Otou-san! Don't be cruel" Sakura cried to her father

"Aha, that's a good one dad, Kaiju's own suitor dosen't know that he even likes her, let alone marry her."

"GRR! Shut up Touya, and don't call me Kaiju!" Sakura sent him a death glare.

"Well Sakura dear, who is the guy?" Her mother said

Sakura smiled at them shyly

"Well, it's, Yukito"

Everyone had an expressionless emotion on their faces, and all yelled at the same time...

"WHAT, YUKITO!"
