Reminder:
::*::
Sakura and Syaoran sit side by side, holding hands. Sakura kept a quick breathe, in her first flight ever.
"Syaoran, remind me why I'm here again. Where are we going?"
"We're going to China, sweetie." Syaoran said, pressing her hand against his lips.
"CHINA?!"
^^Chapter Ten^^
::Meet the Family::
On the plane…
Sakura stirred in her sleep, but at a simple touch, her eyes flew open, showing the world her sparkling emerald eyes. Syaoran smiled at his waking beauty.
"Good Morning Sunshine."
Sakura smiled at the warm, comforting voice, not even aware of where she is. She finally got to take a glance at her surroundings.
"Where are we?" Syaoran smirked to her confusion.
"We're on a plane, sweetie, we've already landed though." Sakura's confusion grew even more.
"Where is everybody?" she asked.
"Oh! We have to wait after on the plane because my security hasn't arrived yet." Sakura's eyes widened.
"SECURITY? You have security?!" Syaoran sweatdropped. Oops guessed that slipped my mind.
"In China, too many people know who I am…and lets just say I have fans." Sakura looked at him and laughed.
"I have a celebrity as a boyfriend. Oh! How am I going to fight off all the girls?" She said hinting much sarcasm. Syaoran looked at her and gave her a mocking face. Suddenly his cell phone rang and he quickly answered.
"Alright coming." Syaoran stood up clutching his small backpack.
"We're going to go through this quick. I don't know how so many people know I'm here. Here hold on to my hand and don't let go. Please stay close." Sakura grabbed on tightly to his hand and felt his seriousness. Syaoran smiled down at her.
"Ready?" Sakura nodded her head in anticipation.
The walk out of the plane seemed like a lifetime before they reached the exit. Once they reached the opening, 5 big guys came and surrounded them, escorting them out of the airport as fast as they can. Screams and flashes came from all over the place. They pushed through the horde of people. Sakura couldn't even see where she was going. Her heart was at a fast pace and her body felt such a rush.
They finally found the exit to the airport and were pushed into a black limo, which quickly left. Syaoran sighed in relief and relaxed.
"I do not miss that at all." He said to himself. He glanced over to Sakura, who was still in shock.
"Sakura, are you alright?" He placed his hand on her shoulder and a concerned expression spreading acroos his face.
"You go through that all the time?" Syaoran chuckled.
"Hai, Hai!" he said speaking the language he has gotten used to.
They rested a few minutes before getting hyped up again.
"Are you ready to meet the family?" Sakura sat up and thought about it.
"Hopefully, yeah." Syaoran smiled.
"Don't worry, they're going to love you." Syaoran said bringing her courage up.
"Then again, who doesn't?" Sakura said jokingly.
"It's impossible to not love you." He said whispering in her ear. Sakura got chills down her back and pulled Syaoran into a big embrace.
"I just hope everything goes well, like we planned it." She said smiling, but inhaled deeply. I sure hope I'm ready for this…I just love him soo much. Heh! I'm ready…he's soo special. Nothing can make me stop loving him.
"I love you." She blurted out. It caught Syaoran off guard but, he took it in easily.
"I love you too." He responded tightening their embrace.
::*::
The limo came to a stop and Sakura's heart started racing, as she felt the engine stop running. She looked over to Syaoran who was excited. He was about to see his family again, and show his family his girlfriend.
Syaoran opened the door and allowed himself out. Then he turned around and held his hand out for his dear princess to take. Sakura took his hand in pleasure and allowed her to be helped out. Once she was out she grasped onto his hand tighter, not willing to let go. But once she saw where Syaoran grew up, she froze and gasped.
"Oh My God! This place is HUGE!! Syaoran, how come you didn't tell me you lived in such a big place! I mean I had a feeling it would be big, but nothing like this! GOOD LORD!" Sakura cried while looking in awe at the mansion.
Syaoran sweatdropped. I guess that slipped my mind too. Hahah!
"We've only known each other for a few months, Sakura. And been going out for like what, a week. Are you sure you're ready?" Sakura nodded.
"You remember everything we planned?" she nodded once more.
"Okay! Let's go!" Syaoran said pulling her towards the front door. He smiled to his old place, haven't been here in years.
Once they reached the door, Syaoran let go of Sakura's hand and stepped closer towards the door. He then allowed himself to knock a few times. He exhaled and stepped back next to Sakura.
A few seconds passed before the door was answered by one of the maids. The maid was looking down and gasping for air. It looks as if she ran to the door.
"Li residence, do you have a-" The maid looked up and gasped.
"Master Li!" she said blushing a bit. Syaoran was quite a cutie, even for his maids to notice. (A/N: I wouldn't doubt! =D)
She opened the door wider, allowing them in. Syaoran took Sakura's hand in his again and stepping inside the house. Sakura looked around in such amazement of the beauty of his place.
"Wow." Was all that can come out of her mouth.
"Please wait here, Master Li. I will get your mother." The maid said keeping her head down.
"Thank you." He returned politely.
A few minutes later, a rushing lady in her late 40s came towards them. She quickly closed up on Syaoran and embraced him in a comforting hug. Sakura looked at this lady and assumed that was his mother.
She's beautiful. She looks so young, but I remember Syaoran saying something about her being in her late 40s. That's quite interesting.
"Oh my, I am soo happy you're home! I missed you so, Xiao Lang." The lady spoke in Chinese.
"I am glad to be home, mother!" he responded using his native language. Sakura stood there watching them and smiled.
Syaoran pulled back from his mom's hold and looked at Sakura. He pulled over Sakura and introduced her.
"Mother, this is Sakura Kinomoto. My girlfriend." The lady's smile widened and she embraced Sakura as well. Sakura was a little surprised but returned the hug.
"It is such a pleasure to meet you, thank you for welcoming me in your home." She said, surprising them with her fluent Cantonese. Syaoran looked at her with a surprised expression.
"Sakura, you can speak Chinese?" Syaoran said returning to Japanese.
"It was one of my classes, I knew it would be helpful one time or another." She said still speaking in Chinese.
"It is a pleasure having you here, Sakura. My name is Yelan Li, I am Xiao Lang's mother." Yelan said introducing herself. Sakura bowed.
"Thank you once again, Mrs. Li."
"Just call me Yelan." Yelan said while smiling. I like her, there's something I feel about her, like she's the one for my little wolf.
"Come, both of you. I'm sure you're sisters would love to see you." Yelan said turning around. Syaoran and Sakura both followed her into another room where four ladies who looked like they were in their twenties.
Geez, they are just one good looking family. They must be his sisters. Four! Geez!
Once they stepped in the four girls quickly surrounded them.
"SO KAWAII!!!!" they yelled in unison. Did they just say kawaii? Sakura thought to herself.
They were bombarded by the four girls for a minute or two before Yelan's voice boomed throughout the house.
"That's enough girls!" They quickly stopped and rushed back to where they first were.
"Little brother, we're glad you're back! But who is this pretty girl next to you?" one of the sisters asked.
"Well Fanren, this is Sakura. My girlfriend." The four girls squealed in happiness.
"Let us introduce ourselves. I'm the oldest of all, my name is Fanren." Fanren said bowing. Sakura bowed back and smiled. The girl next to Fanren was the next to speak.
"I'm Fuutie, the second oldest." She said bowing. Sakura once again bowed.
"I'm Shiefa, the third oldest." Shiefa said repeating what all the other girls did. Sakura bowed.
"AND I'm Feimei, the youngest!" she said bowing. Sakura smiled again and bowed once more.
"It is nice to meet you all, I'm Sakura Kinomoto. I'm from Japan." She said showing off her Chinese-speaking skills.
"Wow, she can speak Chinese very nicely." Shiefa said, smiling.
"Why don't you guys get settled in, and get ready for dinner. Your cousin, Meilin should be joining us soon." Yelan said informing them.
"Syaoran please show Sakura to her room. She'll be taking the one right next to yours." Syaoran nodded in obedience and took Sakura's hand.
"Come on, it's this way." Sakura let herself be taking away, while sighing in exhaustion. It wasn't even bad at all.
"You have such a nice family, 'Xiao Lang'" Sakura said using his Chinese name.
"Yeah, I guess so, Ying Fa." He said using her Chinese name.
"What?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"That's your Chinese name." Syaoran said smiling. Then he opened a door allowing Sakura to see where she will be sleeping.
Sakura once again, gasped to the beauty of her own bedroom. Then, to the size of it.
"Oh my! It's huge! And it even has a bathroom connected to it!" she said exploring the room. Syaoran laughed.
"Yeah, I remember when I use to get mad at my family, I would never come out of my room and I would spend hours in there. I didn't need to step out anyways cause I had Wei to get me my food and then I had the bathroom there already. Also with everything I needed. Anyways I spent most of my time, when I was in my room, training, to release all my anger."
Sakura turned to him and smiled.
"How lucky I am, to have you." She said putting her arms around his neck. Syaoran smiled and placed his arms around her waist.
"Ditto." He said before placing his lips on hers. She returned the kiss and made it a little bit deeper. But before they can go any deeper, Sakura pulled away and smiled at him.
"I need to use the bathroom." She said letting go of him. Syaoran laughed and nodded.
"I'm going to be just right next door. Get ready, our dinners are quite formal. Well not exactly formal, like semi-formal, you know?"
"Yeah, I get it." She said. Syaoran gave her another kiss before leaving her. Once he left, she went to 'her' bathroom. When she got out she jumped on the bed and stuffed her face into the soft pillows surrounding the top of the bed. And then at the top of her lungs she yelled…
"HOEEEEEE!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!" she sighed in relief and smiled.
I can't believe my own matchmaker would be the one I fall in love with. He's soo different, from Xie Ling * shivers * and Akihiro. But how do I know if he wouldn't hurt like they did.
Her eyes saddened for a second.
NO! He would never. He protected me soo much and we've only known each other for soo long. Proves how long it takes to fall in love with someone. Not very long at all. He's so cute! HOE!!!!!! I'm SO HAPPY I HAVE HIM!
Sakura glanced over at the time. Oops, I need to get ready. What shall I wear?..
::*::
Syaoran sighed as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing black slacks and a nice red collar shirt. He straightened his clothes out and ruffled with his hair a bit.
"I feel like the happiest guy alive." He said to himself. So happy I have Sakura.
Once he was finished getting ready, he left his room to go get Sakura. He stopped in front of her door and knocked three times.
Seconds later the door swung open and there stood a nervous Sakura. Syaoran stared at her and how good she looked. She was wearing something familiar to Syaoran. She was wearing a black dress with red flowers aligning the bottom of it. The dress came up to her knees and it was sleeveless. Her hair was slightly curled and flowing down. Her hair grew a bit since she met Syaoran. Her dress was complemented with a little make up, which was very natural. It wasn't too formal, but then very nice.
"Syaoran! Do I look alright? Am I underdressed, or overdressed? Is it too formal? How does my hair look? Is it alright. Is this dress appropriate?" she cried nervously. Syaoran laughed and got hold of her shoulders.
"All you need to know, is that you look beautiful and that's all that matters right now!" Sakura relaxed a bit and sighed.
"But are you-"
"You are perfectly fine." He said before she can continue. She smiled and blushed a bit.
"Thanks. You're looking wonderful yourself." Syaoran blushed as well.
"Well thank you. Shall we go." Sakura nodded, as they both started to walk towards the dining room.
::*::
Once they reached the dining room, they found all of the family sitting down conversing. Among the family, they found Meilin, Jun, and their two kids. Sakura once she saw them and felt a little bit more comfortable.
Meilin saw the couple enter and smiled widely. I can't believe she is going to be…
"Meilin! How nice to see you again!" Sakura said with a wink. Meilin gasped.
"Did you just speak Chinese?" she said speaking the language she was born with. (A/N: Chinese if you didn't get it ;)! )
"Yeah!" Sakura turned towards Jun and bowed.
"Nice to see you again!" she smiled. Jun bowed his head back. Sakura walked over to the two children and put her hands on their shoulders.
"How are you two cuties?" They both smiled and answered back that they were fine. Yelan watched her and saw that she made the two boys smile. Hmm…that was different. Never saw them really smile before. She really must be special. Yelan thought.
Syaoran and Sakura then went to their seats to listen to what Yelan had to say.
"First, I would like to say Welcome back Xiao Lang, I'm soo happy you're home. Second, Sakura, Welcome to the Li Family." Sakura looked at Yelan, who was smiling. What did she mean by that?
"And third, in two days we will be throwing a ball for Xiao Lang's return. But now, let us enjoy dinner!" Once she finished, many maids came out holding trays of food, enough food to feed China.
(A/N: and we all know how big China is! Lol)
In the middle of the dinner, Yelan spoke out to find out more about Sakura.
"So Sakura, please tell me about yourself." Sakura looked up at Yelan and smiled. She put her chopsticks down and started to speak…
"Well, I'm from Tomoeda, Japan, where I was born and I've lived there my whole life. I have a brother named, Touya, and a father named, Fujitaka. I lost my mother when I was 4 years old. I'm in college now, but I'm not taking any important classes yet, so I was excused for a month. Um, I'm 18 years old like Xiao Lang and my birthday's April 1st. I met Xiao Lang at a dating service, where he worked. I was one of his clients. He helped me with my past and present problems. Which I give much thanks to him, and along the way I guess I fell in love with him." Sakura finished smiling at Syaoran.
"How long have you guys known each other?" Fuutie asked.
"About, almost 3 months."
"THREE MONTHS?!" Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped.
"It's not that short." Syaoran complained.
"It must have been love at first sight!" Feimei said giggling. Yelan smiled, now I really know she's for him. That's an improvement for Syaoran. To get to know a person soo well in a short amount of time.
"Has Syaoran treated you well?" Yelan asked, teasing Syaoran.
"Mother!" he exclaimed. Sakura laughed.
"Yes, he took really good care of me! He's a very sweet and caring person. I'm lucky to have someone like him. Wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with him." She said with much confidence.
"KAWAII!" the four sisters yelled.
They all looked at Syaoran who was looking down trying to hide his blush.
I really like this new Xiao Lang, he seems much happier now. Meilin thought.
"Welcome to the family, Sakura." Meilin said to herself.
