Chapter 8 - 'Plotting Parents '
Now, you guys must be wondering what happened to Fujitaka who was left in the breakfast hall after our main characters ran away...
Fujitaka stared at the retreating backs of the youngsters, a smile slowly appearing on his face.
A prominent figure stepped out of the shadows to join him.
"Young love..." Queen Yelan of the Li Kingdom sighed.
Winged Guardian: *sweatdrop, sweatdrop* Ahem, ahem. Surely they can see the sparks between 'em???
"Ah yes," Fujitaka agreed "I think our children hit it off quite nicely, don't you think?"
Winged Guardian: I don't mean that kind of sparks! Sheesh, these two are hopeless...
"Definitely." Yelan said, smiling "Your daughter, Sakura, is one strong girl, in spirit and mind. She is responsible and her heart is pure. She is a good match for Xiao Lang. I'm very happy that you accepted the proposal, Fujitaka. I wanted to make sure that Syaoran's future bride would truly care for him, not just someone who married him for his status and riches and Sakura is the best of all."
"I promised Nadeshiko that I'll make sure that Sakura would have a decent and caring person to take care of her for the rest of her life...and who can protect Sakura better than your son, Syaoran?" Fujitaka replied, smiling "You have raised your son well, Yelan. I had expected no less from a strong-willed and independent woman like you."
"Although they seem rather unwilling now, they'll find it in their hearts to love each other. They're destined to be together." Yelan said, smiling, totally oblivious to the fact that Sakura wasn't feeling very loving towards her son right now and desperately wanted to murder him at the very moment.
Winged Guardian: These two are totally clueless. *shakes head sadly* Young love, indeed! *snorts*
Sakura gritted her teeth at her father's response. "They may not hit it off right now, but they cannot change their destinies. They will fall in love with each other and fall hard."
A snort greeted the statement and Sakura stomped into the hall, stopping to curtsey to Queen Yelan.
"I highly doubt so, Father, Queen Yelan." Sakura said politely.
[Ha! Like I will EVER marry that arrogant idiot! I would rather jump off a cliff first!!!]
Both adults smiled knowingly, serving to infuriate the girl even further.
"Forgive me for leaving this place so abruptly, Father, Queen Yelan." Sakura said formally, not wishing to discuss the subject further.
Fujitaka smiled and Yelan nodded graciously, both accepting her apology.
At the moment, Syaoran strode in.
At the sight of him, Sakura's eyes flashed dangerously and her hand automatically moved to her sword hilt.
Syaoran saw her reaction and watched her, obviously amused.
"There's no need to be so tense, Princess." Syaoran smirked mockingly "I won't eat you up."
At that, Sakura had to restrain herself from leaping at his throat. She controlled herself and decided the best way to treat this imbecile was to ignore him, and then she could finally slash him into a billion pieces at the duel tonight.
And so, Sakura comforted herself with the thought that she could finally murder this jerk later tonight.
Sakura gave him a glare which clearly said that "Sticks-and-stones-may- break-my- bones-but-your-words-mean-nothing-to-me!"
Syaoran returned her glare with a smirk which obviously meant "Oh yeah?? We'll see about that, Sakura Kinomoto!"
Sakura felt her temperature rise and fumed silently. She would not give him the satisfaction of seeing her lose control.
Sakura averted her eyes, to calm her burning desire to rip him apart savagely.
Syaoran smirked infuriatingly, knowing exactly the thoughts going through her mind.
"What?? Too scared to face me, now that you've paused and considered your
thoughtless actions and realized that your have absolutely no chance of defeating me??" Syaoran taunted.
Waves and waves of anger washed over Sakura as her usually calm and peaceful light pink aura seethed and billowed around her, turning a shade of hot pink, causing the temperature of the room to rise noticeably.
The people in the room began to sweat, not only from the heat, as the pressure and tension between the two increased considerably.
Sakura could no longer hide her rage, giving Syaoran a vehement glare outright. Her livid darkened green eyes were ablaze with fury and anger.
The ferocity of Sakura's glare was enough to turn anyone into stone......that is, anyone aside from Syaoran Li.
The accursed Syaoran smirked, amusement evident in his mocking amber eyes as he stared at the girl who was shaking with rage.
The corners of his mouth curved up in a sardonic smile as he said, clearly intending to provoke Sakura even further, "I see that you are shivering in fear under me. Oh well, what can I expect from a coward of a girl who falls apart whenever she breaks a nail or bursts into tears, running to hide behind someone stronger whenever failure is assured?"
"For your information LI, I FIGHT MY OWN FIGHTS and I'm not afraid to lose!!! I am more than capable of taking care of myself without anyone's protection!!!" Sakura stated angrily, her stormy green eyes flashing dangerously.
Unconsciously, Sakura's feet had already shifted into a battle stance and her muscles were tense and wary.
Syaoran, of course, noticed that and was enjoying himself immensely.
He smirked.
"Oh, is that so??" the tone of his voice was mocking as he watched her carefully, amused.
To Syaoran's interest, Sakura turned one million shades of red.
Sakura had more than enough.
She crossed the distance between them swiftly in two wide strides and grabbing his shirt roughly, Sakura jerked him towards her with incredible strength.
Pulling him dangerously close to her face, she spat out, "YOU ARROGANT, OBNOXIOUS, OVERBEARING, CHAUVINISTIC, SELF- CENTERED........................" Sakura ranted on and on, amazing the two on-looking adults with her wide range of vocabulary.
However, the closeness of Sakura was having an entirely different effect on Syaoran.
Syaoran found himself unable to think of anything aside from Sakura, oblivious to his surroundings. He inhaled the sweet scent of cherry blossoms and his forest green aura mingled with the angry pink aura radiating from Sakura. Her nearness was intoxicating and Syaoran was entranced by the way her golden brown locks waved slightly in the breeze, the depths of her flashing dark emerald eyes, the cute infuriated look on her face and the way her soft pink lips moved as she ranted furiously.
Syaoran took a step closer to Sakura.
He smirked as he saw a flicker of discomfort in her emerald eyes as she unconsciously took a step backwards uneasily.
Smirking, Syaoran took slow and deliberate steps towards Sakura, causing her to back away nervously until her back reached the wall and she was trapped between Syaoran's warm body and the solid wall.
"Shut up, Sakura." Syaoran said calmly.
Sakura narrowed her eyes, "That's KINOMOTO to you LI. And what makes you think that I would listen to you, you egotistical, narcissistic, self- assured, overconfident---"
Sakura was effectively silenced by Syaoran pressing his lips to hers, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
