Reminder:
"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.
^^Chapter Eleven^^
::Xiao Lang's Ball::
Syaoran yawned while sitting straight in his bed. He smiled as soon as Sakura came storming in his room, freaking out. She was holding many pairs of dresses and had a towel wrapping her hair. She was already dressed, but it looks like she has just gotten out of the shower. Syaoran chuckled to himself, not paying to attention to her nervousness.
"THANK GOD YOU'RE AWAKE!" Sakura says as she drops the dresses on his bed and jumps beside him. She started pulling on his arm, trying to get him out of bed.
"Come on! Get out of bed! We don't have a lot of time! COME ON!" she cried anticipated. Today was the day, Syaoran's ball was supposed to be held. Sakura had no clue what to wear and what to do, so of course she turned towards her boyfriend.
Syaoran looked at her and laughed. She's so cute when she's nervous! He thought as he obeyed her wishes. He got up out of bed and sighed. He got Sakura to let loose his arm, so he can get to the bathroom and get freshened up. He smiled at her before closing his bathroom door behind him. Sakura sighed, while sitting on his bed. She looked at the dresses she had and knocked them off the bed.
"Those won't do." She scowled to herself.
She sat on Syaoran's bed thinking about what's going to happen. She thought about how the ball was going to be like. Maybe it was going to be like one of those fairy tale balls or maybe it was going to be like one of those rich, boring balls. She didn't care though. She was excited. She's never been to a ball, so it would be her first time. But then again she was nervous about what to wear and how she had to act. She had perfect manners, because her father expected them from her, although he father was very open and kind hearted. But he always had guest over, so she had to show her kind respect.
Sakura got up and decided to do something, while waiting for Syaoran. Well she saw that she made his bed a mess, so she made his bed and picked up her clothes off of the floor. She walked back to her room quickly and dumped the clothes in her suitcase. She would fix it later. She took her towel out of her hair and soon combed it down. It was still wet, but she usually air-dried her hair.
She walked back to Syaoran's room, to find him standing in his towel again, drying his hair with another towel. She blushed furiously and turned away her gaze. It was the second time she had seen Syaoran in a towel. She's been around a lot of times, when Syaoran took his showers, but she never saw him after his shower until he was dressed.
Syaoran chuckled again. He liked this morning. Seeing different sides of Sakura was entertaining to him. He threw the towel that he was drying his hair with, down on the floor. He smiled evilly as he walked towards the embarrassed Sakura, whom which is looking down. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
Sakura yelped to his surprising move and felt contact with Syaoran chest. Her hand landed on his stomach, where his nicely formed abs was. She gasped at his godlike body. She suddenly got scared knowing that she was standing in a bedroom with a half-naked guy holding her. Syaoran felt her tense up and smirked. He would never do anything to her that would make her feel uncomfortable. He pulled back and kissed her on the forehead.
"Let me get ready, just wait in your room, okay?" he said looking at her. Sakura looked at him, red as a tomato, and nodded. Syaoran laughed again and escorted her out of his room. He kissed her on the cheek once again before he closed the door behind her.
He walked over to his body length mirror and smirked at himself.
"You are one sexy man, Xiao Lang." He spoke to his reflection, before going to his dresser and pulling clothes out.
(A/N: …can you imagine that? LOL! I CAN'T! But hey I don't doubt the sexiness! =Þ j/k but he is KAWAII!)
Right when he finished dressing, a knock came to his door. He ruffled with his hair as he walked over to the door and opened it widely. There stood Sakura with a Chinese dress lying in her hands. It was a light gold dress with emerald linings. Matched her perfectly.
"Your mother said that, I was to wear this." Sakura said beaming. She loved the dress, she thought it was beautiful. Syaoran smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, we all have to dress in traditional Chinese dressing." He explained to her. Sakura looked at her dress then up at him.
"Well then, what are you wearing?" she asked while walking in his room. He walked over to his closet and took a black Chinese outfit. It had green linings throughout the whole thing. It was really something. Silver and gold also ran through the clothing. Sakura looked at it in awe. It was real nice and she couldn't wait to see Syaoran wearing it.
"Oh, you're going to look so good in it!" she said smiling. Syaoran blushed a bit, but let his ego side respond to her.
"I know." He said jokingly, giving Sakura one of his killer smiles. She laughed at him and smiled evilly.
"Of course you do. After all, You are one sexy man, Xiao Lang." She said winking at him. Then leaving his room, standing there shocked.
"She heard me?" he asked himself. He felt himself flush and gulp. Oh boy, I'm going to be getting it from her. She's not going to let this one go.
He brushed it off and walked out of his room. She stepped out the same time he did and was still smirking. He shook his head and sighed.
"Let's get going." He mumbled as he held his hand out. Sakura smiled up at him and took his hand. Then she winked at him and pulled him closer to her.
"Sure, sexy one." She whispered, as they both made their way to the dining room for breakfast. Syaoran let it go and walked happily with her. Once they reached downstairs, maids and butlers were running all over the place. Sakura and Syaoran stood there scared from all the craze. Syaoran hasn't been home for a ball in awhile and forgot that this happened every single time they have a ball.
One maid, while passing by with a mop, bowed her head quickly and smiled. "Good morning Master Li, Mistress Kinomoto." She said before moving away from them and circling around. They both moved swiftly through the storm of people, dodging and stopping at times. They reached the dining room just as the food was being served. Everyone was already seated with smiles crossing their faces. Except the children.
"Sorry we're late, we had to go through traffic." Syaoran joked, pointing at the crazy room they had just left. Sakura smiled and gave her morning greetings. She bowed to Yelan and Yelan bowed back, a smile crossing her face. She gave Meilin a small hug and Jun too. She kissed the twins on their head, and soon they were both smiling. Then she went over to the four sisters and bowed to all of them and gave them a warm smile. They conversed a bit and then she went and sat next to Syaoran.
Syaoran smiled at his girlfriend, whom was loved by his family and she paid much respect to them too. He took her hand in his and gave her a kiss on her forehead. A slight KAWAII was heard in the background while their plates of food was set down on the table. They waited for any announcements from Yelan before digging in to their food.
"Sakura," Yelan spoke out, before they went into their food. Sakura looked up and nodded.
"It's a big pleasure to have you here. And I'm glad that you are the one who broke my son's shell. And for that we thank you greatly. The ball will be held at 6pm and we'll have people helping you with getting ready Sakura." Yelan announced. Sakura nodded her head once again and then placed a napkin on her lap.
"Let's eat." Syaoran said picking up his chopsticks. Everyone did the same and went on with their family breakfast.
They all started eating and conversing at the same time. Everyone was excited for the ball was going to be one of the greatest. Unknown to the others, Syaoran was going to ask Sakura to marry him, during the time they were there. Yes, it was all too early, but this needed to happen quick and the marriage needed to be within 2 months. Sakura knew that Syaoran was going to ask her to marry here. It was part of their plan. But she didn't know when. But she kept to herself, that she was ready to marry him at anytime. She felt something she's never felt before and she knows with all her heart that Syaoran wouldn't even try to hurt her.
Something was telling her he was different and that she was meant to be with him. While she was eating she looked over to him and smiled lightly. His unruly hair drooped over his eyes while he looked down at his food. He was enjoying it, but you can tell he was listening intensely to Feimei, who was telling a story about the twins. Everyone joined in laughter when they heard Feimei tell them that the two boys were dancing in their room, when no one was around.
The two boys blushed embarrassed, looking at their food. Meilin let her laughter die down a bit before patting them on the head telling them its okay. They nodded their heads, still feeling a little embarrassed though. Sakura could tell this family really loved each other. They weren't like all the other rich families who rarely converse. They were very open, but yet were very respectful. She loved the way this family made her feel, it just felt so right. Yes, she loves the family she has at home, but this one was a special family, and it was soon going to be hers too.
2 hours before ball…
Sakura finished her 2nd shower that day and was inside her room in a robe with a towel in her hair. 3 different girls bombarded her with all this stuff she was going to be wearing. They made Sakura put on this under-dress that when up to her mid-thigh. Then the pulled the under part of her dress which was a silky light goldish gown. It was kind of big for her and it dragged on the floor, but once she put heels on, it would be touching the floor just lightly. They had long sleeves that bell out to make it look like an old fashioned dress.
They slipped over her head another part to the dress that almost looked like a vest, 'cause it went up to her waist. It was gold with green linings. Every part of the dress had Chinese symbols running though it, and to Sakura's surprise, the Chinese symbols meant Cherry Blossom. The last piece to the dress was a skirt that looked familiar to the vest thing. The top of the skirt started where the end of the vest thing ended. Near the bottom right corner, they had cherry blossom flowers imprinted there. The bottom of the skirt ended a lil bit above the silk under gown, so you can still see the gown.
Sakura found this fitting to be very nice and soft. Even with all this stuff they were putting on her, she still felt comfortable and satisfied. She didn't feel very stiffened up or anything like that, but it was weird to have people dress her up. Another part was an emerald scarf that went around her waist. They put it over the linings of the end of the vest and beginning of the skirt. They tied it in the back and let it flow down. Then they put around her waist a golden chain with gold coins aligning it. Gold lines ran down it with emeralds at the bottom of them.
She soon felt her self being seated down in front of her mirror. She gasped to see her dress and how nice it fit, although it was just the top half she can see. The girls pulled the towel off of her head and dried it up a bit. Then one of them pulled it up in to pigtails at the sides of her head. One of the other girls was getting her make up ready, and the last girl left to go get something. She came back with gold satin heels that had straps. The girl bent down and put it on Sakura's feet, while her hair was still getting done.
The girl doing her hair put the pigtails into buns and pinned it with bobby pins. After that, she tied gold ties on to them and letting the rest of the tie fall down. (A/n: like Meilin's buns, but instead of hair falling, the ties are.) Then she placed a small headset on her head, finishing her hair. Sakura was used to all the tugging she did, because Tomoyo would do her hair a lot. So it was no pain for her.
The girl that was putting her shoes on, was now painting her nails. Sakura liked being pampered but she felt bad for the girls. The next girl came up to her and started applying make up. It was very natural but yet it shimmered on her nicely. Once the girl was done, Sakura looked at herself in the mirror and gasped. She looked beautiful. The girl finished painting her nails and she was fanning them now. Sakura sat there staring at herself, while it took about 10 minutes for the girl to have the nails dry up. She painted them a light emerald.
The very last thing she had to put on was jewelry, which the girls put on for her. They put on gold earrings that twirled lightly. A matching necklace and bracelet to go with it too. They put on a few rings on her hand and then she was done. Sakura stood in front of the mirror with the 3 girls behind her, who already cleaned up and everything. They looked at what they have down and smiled proudly. Sakura looked in awe at herself and couldn't be any happier. Everything looked perfect and she was amazed to say that she looked wonderful. She quickly turned around and hugged all three of the girls. She thanked them many times and the girls welcomed the hug.
No one has really done that before, so it made them feel good. They left Sakura to stare at herself, while they quickly went to get ready themselves. They were going to be enjoying the ball too.
::*::
In Syaoran's room, he had just finished getting ready. He had a few girls helping him with the fitting and the things he couldn't do. It didn't take as long as Sakura, because well he didn't have a lot to do. Syaoran looked at himself in the mirror. He was excited and couldn't wait. He glanced over to the clock and saw that it was already 5:20pm. He quickly left his room and walked over to Sakura's. He knocked on the door lightly and soon heard a faint "come in".
He opened the door and walked inside to find no one in the room. He scratched his head, thinking to himself if he was just hearing things. Suddenly a very beautiful girl came out of the bathroom holding a silk bag. She looked up revealing her face clearly to see whom it was. Once Syaoran saw her, he wanted to faint. She looked so good and was just bursting with beauty. A smile graced her face one she saw Syaoran all dressed up. He looked REAL good. She quickly ran over to him to hug him and tell him how good he looked.
"Oh my, you look sooo cute!!" she exclaimed. Syaoran blushed and held her tightly, thinking not to ruin her dress.
"You look great yourself, princess!" he said smiling. How lucky he felt to have such a beautiful girl with him. They complemented each other a little bit more before it came to 5:30pm. Both of them together, hand in hand, walked down the stairs, looking like a heavenly couple. Everyone stopped what they were doing with they saw the couple come down.
After a few seconds of staring, they all continued with their work of doing some last minute business. It was only a half an hour left before the ball was going to start. During that time Syaoran went over some things with her in the library. They were to make a big opening together. All people part of the Li family or in any relation to the immediate Li family would be there. Tomoyo and Eriol found their way there and were already hanging out in the dance room. The ball was celebrated in two rooms, a place to eat and a place to dance and converse.
It reached six o'clock and the ringing of gongs trembled in the room. Everyone quickly turned their gaze towards the big doors were the main reason of this ball was appearing. Yelan stepped in front of doors and smiled widely.
"Welcome all of you! I would like to thank you for coming to the return of my son, Xiao Lang, ball! Also to show the world his companion. Dinner will be served in half an hour, but please let me bring the reason why you have all came."
The doors suddenly opened revealing a chocolate hair man looking down at the floor. The crowd gasped in joy and some in surprise. It has been so long since they've seen the one whom which many looked up to.
"I like you to give a warm welcome back to Li Xiao Lang…" Syaoran looked up and smiled a rare smile. He has never once smiled in the face of many people, so it was pleasing to finally see a smile crossing his face. Soon he held his hand out, ready for someone to grab.
"And his companion, Kinomoto Sakura." A hand reached out for Syaoran's and soon came stepping out, was a beauty of life. Sakura looked out nervously into the giant crowd and put on her best smile. The crowd cheered as they saw the future Leader of the Li clan and his soon to be Mistress Li.
As soon as Yelan walked away from the couple, hordes of people made their way to them to converse. Music started to play as some couples went to the dance floor and did traditional dances. Syaoran and Sakura were greeted by many people and received gifts of their surprise.
In the corner, watching them from afar, was the rival couple for the head of the Li Clan. There stood Xie Ling and Sei Li. Xie Ling stood proud holding on to his wife's arm. Xie Ling wore something alike to Xiao Lang's outfit, except his colors were black and blue. Sei, another beautiful woman, wore something somewhat similar to Sakura's outfit, and the colors were silver and blue. The couple made their way through the crowd and closed in on Syaoran and Sakura. They had their backs facing towards them, cause they were speaking with one of Syaoran's cousins.
"Xiao Lang." Xie Ling spoke out, loud enough for him to hear. Syaoran swiftly turned around to be face to face with Xie Ling. Once Syaoran turned around, Sakura turned too, and her smile quickly turned into a frown. Once Sakura turned around, Xie Ling's heart skipped a beat to see her beauty up close. The cousins that they were speaking with already knew of the situation and left them quite quickly.
"I see that, now we are to fight for the power." Xie Ling said smirking at Sakura. Sei evilly smiled, but made it look like it was with such innocence.
"Very true. Forgive my manners. Sakura, may I introduce you into my other cousin, Li Sei." Syaoran said outreaching his arm, showing Sakura, the cousin who betrayed him. Sakura bowed and said nothing. Sei bowed back and kept a straight face.
"I'm looking forward to our competition, may the best one win." Xie Ling said, in a proper tone. Syaoran eyed him and tried to erase the thought of his ex-cousin cheating in competition. He would get kicked out of the whole thing, if he were to cheat and the elders were very hard to fool. But this feeling ran through him, knowing that Xie Ling had something up his sleeve.
While deep in glare, Syaoran felt his hand being squeezed and he quickly fell out of the trance. He looked down at Sakura, her eyes glinted with worry. They were telling him "not now". He sighed deeply, before hearing the ringing of bells.
"DINNER IS SERVED!" one yelled above all talk.
Quickly, everyone made their way to the dining room, where bundles of tables surrounded the whole place. Syaoran and Sakura made their way to the very front of the room where there was a long line of tables connected to each other. In the middle sat 4 people of importance. Sakura wasn't too sure about who they were, but she guessed that they were the "elders"…as everyone called them.
Next to them sat Yelan, and then Syaoran and Sakura would be sitting next to her. The four sisters would be next to Sakura and Meilin and her family near the end. On the other side of the elders sat Sei's father and mother, then Sei and Xie Ling. next, came Xie Ling's mother and stepfamily.
(A/n: yeah, so it's a lot of people, lets just say it was a very long line of tables.)
When everyone was settled, one of the elders, who looked the oldest of all, stood with much pride and power. Everyone hushed as soon as he stood. Sakura sat there bewildered by such quick reaction. Soon enough the elder spoke up:
"Welcome all of you to the celebration of Li Xiao Lang's return. We are proud to announce you that he would be our Future Leader of the Li Clan. And I'm sure he'll do a great deal of work to make all of us proud. He is a strong, ambitious, and a wonderful magician. He will be a great leader-"
Xie Ling cringes to hear a well-respected elder speak greatly of Xiao Lang. Syaoran sat there, showing no emotion, but deep inside of him, shocked for such praise he was receiving.
"But I am here to also announce that now Xiao Lang has a component, up for the battle of the Li Clan Leader. He has married back into the Li name, to one of our well-known descendents, Sei Li. I would like to welcome you, a relative to you before, Li Xie Ling, formally Wa Xie Ling. I invite all of you to see the two fight for their name. The only way they can win the name is to win the fight. They are only allowed to use swords and the magic they possess. This battle well take place a month from now. We are expected both to be wed by then. Will that be appropriate for you, Xiao Lang?" The elder turned towards Xiao Lang questioning his relationship status.
"Yes that will be, elder. In fact, I have an announcement to make. May I proceed?" Syaoran asked while standing up. The elder bowed in return and sat, allowing him to make his announcement. Sakura once again was confused, What announcement? He didn't tell me he was going to make an announcement. Syaoran turned towards Sakura and took her hand. She stood up nervously and followed to where Syaoran was taking her.
He took her to the empty space between their table and the crowd.(A/N: which is a lot of space..) Sakura stood there scared of what might be coming, but then excited for her assumption on what he was going to do. Xie Ling sat straight in his seat. He watched intently as Syaoran went into his pocket and pulled out a small box.
Sakura gasped, He can't be! I didn't know! She felt a little feint, overwhelmed in happiness. I never thought I would actually live to have this moment. She stared into Syaoran's amber eyes, as he smiled and moved slowly to the floor. Sakura had her hands over her mouth and tears sprung to her eyes. Even when I knew that this was going to happen, I'm still overjoyed with happiness. I never knew he would do it in front of all these people. She thought, remembering the plan they had thought of.
Flashback
"Sakura, I don't want to rush you into anything. I mean, it'd be too early. I can just renounce." Syaoran cited, giving ideas out.
Sakura shook her head. "No, I don't want your family to be ruined under the powers of Xie Ling. And I'm think I'm pretty sure about my decision, Syaoran."
"So, we get married?" Syaoran whispered. Sakura nodded and smiled. "We get married." She repeated.
"HOHOHOHO!! KAWAII! A wedding for Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo exclaimed, as happy as the new couple.
"But, I think that we need to set out this whole thing. Syaoran if you came to your mother, saying that you're engaged or you're possibly married, she'll be in shock. She wouldn't want you to marry just because of this whole situation." Eriol explained, trying to get rid of all negatives before celebrating.
"True. I'm going to have to prove how much I love Sakura." Syaoran said, deep in thought. Sakura blushed, still being new to this love.
"But how?" Jun asked, curious. Meilin thought for a second and then jumped in joy.
"You can propose to Sakura in front of Auntie Yelan, Xiao Lang! You guys can come back with us to China and stay there for awhile. You can propose to her after showing Auntie that your love is true. And proposing to her, in front of your family, will prove a lot, Xiao Lang. And since you've improved greatly from your usual cold self, -cough-, you're mother can't deny!" Meilin said happily.
"But, doesn't your mother know that Xie Ling was going out with Sakura? She'll know how long you've guys been going out." Jun brought up. Syaoran nodded.
"Yeah, but Auntie Yelan doesn't believe in how long you've known each other! Just like I said, all you have to do is prove to her that you love her and I think proposing in front of a lot of people will prove a whole lot. No one would expect you to do that, Xiao Lang. Yeah, they can expect you to announce that you are engaged, but they would think you are more of a private person to propose in front of people." Meilin interrupted. All nodded in agreement.
"Good, then, we have this planned?" Sakura asked. Syaoran smiled. "We'll leave for China in 3 days." He said, taking Sakura's hand in his.
End of Flashback
Syaoran slowly opened the box, revealing a silver ring streaked with gold, with a big diamond surrounded with green and pink glass rocks. It was gorgeous. When his mother first announced the ball for Syaoran, he couldn't help but to think that this was the greatest opportunity. He smiled widely, knowing for a fact that he took Sakura by surprise.
"Sakura-chan," he said changing his dialect to Japanese. "Even in such a short time, I've realized that love can come anytime it wants. I know we've only known each other for a few months, but what I didn't know was that I was going to fall so hard. And better yet, with my own client." He chuckled lightly. Sakura smiled and giggled as well. Tomoyo sat close by, taping the whole thing. She was soo happy that she had brought her video camera. The ones, who couldn't understand Japanese, were disappointed, but the ones who knew, were at the edge of their seats.
"Forget everything we planned earlier and why we are here. Forget that we have so many people surrounding us. I want you to answer my question truthfully, from the heart. Disregard on my part, how I am going to feel from your answer. Cause I will understand if you think it's too early. Don't think anything about the Leadership. Just think of us." He paused for a second, as he reached for Sakura's hand and holding the ring in the other hand.
"Kinomoto Sakura, I love you and it would do me much honor if you were to become my life partner. Will you marry me?" Right then, everyone who knew their plan, now know that Syaoran wasn't doing this because this is what they discussed. They knew that Syaoran was really asking her from his heart, and really asking her to marry him. Sakura felt her world blur around her and tears slipped out.
As soon as she was about to answer, Xie Ling stood up breaking the excitement filling up the room.
"This is preposterous! They have only been going out for a week!" Xie Ling revealed in Chinese, to the ones who haven't known. A few gasps ran through the crowd, while anger burned in the others. Syaoran was about to stand up and yell at Xie Ling for ruining his moment, but Yelan's voice boomed through the hall.
"How dare you interrupt something as special as this moment?! That shows no good manners and is completely uncalled for. Plus, not like you would know, but there is no limit to love." Yelan spoke, then calmed herself. She couldn't believe he did such a thing. One of the elders stood up and turned to Xie Ling.
"You will be quiet now and not interrupt once again. You've shown a great gratitude of disrespect and manners like that will not bring you to be the Leader of the Li Clan. Sit down, before we eliminate you from the run." Xie Ling quickly sat while mumbling, and so did the elder. The one who had spoke earlier apologized and let them continue.
"We are very sorry, please continue, Xiao Lang. You didn't deserve such disrespect." Syaoran was still kneeling, but was very upset. He took a deep breath before restating his last line.
"Sakura, will you marry me?" he said, staying in Japanese. Sakura smiled, easily brushing off what has happened, even though still upset. She stood there, thinking deeply. Everyone awaiting her answer.
"Syaoran, when I first met you, I swear I thought you would be my first bachelor, until I found out, you were going to be helping me. And I was more than happy that you were helping me. Because I have gone through such hard times and you've helped me through ALL of them. I couldn't help but to think that, I was falling for you. I felt it, once you helped me, on my first date. I've trusted you with all my heart and was surprised on how quickly I did." Tears now streaked her face again. She couldn't stand the thought of Syaoran, still on the floor kneeling. Plus her knees were getting weak to this strong emotion taking over her.
She made her way to the floor, not even thinking of the dress, and she kneeled there holding onto Syaoran's hand with both of hers.
"I didn't think it was possible to find love so quick. I even questioned myself about it, but the answer always came out the same. I found myself wanting to spend every single moment I can with you and that even means the moments that are meant to come in our future. I don't care what happens anymore, as long as I get to be by your side. I love you so much." She started to break down as Syaoran pulled her into his arms.
"Hai, koishii, hai." She whispered. Syaoran jumped up in joy, still holding onto Sakura. "Subarashi! Subarashi!" he repeated, letting his happiness be seen. Everyone clapped congratulating the newly engaged couple. Even if they didn't understand what they were saying, they read their reactions and it was quite noticeable on what happened. Surprisingly to see, they saw Syaoran shed a few tears before putting Sakura down and lean down into a kiss.
Sakura quickly accepted and wrapped her arms around him. Once they broke, applause was still heard in the hall. They turned towards the crowd and smiled, as Syaoran put the ring of Sakura's hand, before kissing it.
"Let us eat and then celebrate the engagement of my son Xiao Lang and his wife-to-be Sakura!" Yelan exclaimed in happiness. Sakura and Syaoran went back to their seats to enjoy the meal to come.
They spent the rest of their night, dancing and talking to many whom congratulated them. It was a night that wasn't to be forgotten. Not only by the ones who were happy to see this, but also for the ones who's anger succeeded to the sight of the couple.
Xie Ling threw this fist at the wall in of the bathrooms, make a slight dent. Why am I so angry? I knew this would be coming. But Sakura, she now is happily with my rival. Ugh, I'm disgusted at that sight! I don't understand. I can not be jealous…
"Can I?" he asked himself, looking into the mirror. Sweat dropped from his face and melted together with one of his tears. This can't be possible, I can't be in love with her.
To be continued…
