Chapter 7: One Week To Go

:[]:

After Touya had relieved himself, he wandered aimlessly through the hallways of the church basement. He had effectively lost himself, but his mind was too muddled to care. 'The Gaki is giving up his job for Sakura? No, not really for her, for me? I mean, I know she wouldn't mind living in Hong Kong, and Yue/Yuki doesn't really have a choice on whether he moves or not. Am I the only one who is keeping Sakura and Syaoran from moving to where they need to go?' Touya's train of thought was stopped abruptly when he walked smack into Yuki, who started laughing.

"Come on Touya, it's time to start the rehearsal." Yuki grabbed his arm, and pulled him in almost the opposite direction than where he had been headed. Touya inwardly cursed his terrible sense of direction. "You know, Sakura and Syaoran were talking about getting a house. Here in Tomoeda, even. I mean, I always thought that Sakura would want to live in Hong Kong. She is the kind of girl who would go wherever her husband needed her to go, and we all know Syaoran needs to be in Hong Kong to run the clan." Touya gulped, and Yuki continued, "I can't imagine what sort of stress Syaoran is under now. I hope that everything will work out." Touya was left feeling worse, but thankfully, they had arrived at the sanctuary, and the rehearsal was about to start.

As Syaoran got into position along with Yamazaki, who was best man, and Eriol, who was going to perform the service, Sakura, Touya, and the rest of the Bridal Train got into position in the narthex. Syaoran stood nervously on the altar, and couldn't help but feel like an anxious groom. He gulped. If this was only the rehearsal, then what was it going to be like next Saturday, on the real wedding? He rocked back and forth on his toes, and Yamazaki leaned over and whispered in his ear,

"Did you know rocking was invented by the Greeks? It was a fad, like Pokemon, or yoyos. They---"He was cut off by a yell from the Narthex, saying,

"Yamazaki, don't think I can't hear you." Yamazaki blushed, and covered his head reflexively. Syaoran started laughing, and relaxed. Touya, however, did not. Relax that is. He couldn't help but feel that something was terribly wrong. He didn't know what it was, but he couldn't shake the feeling of...guilt? He didn't know what was wrong, but he had to force his thoughts away, as the music came on, and he rehearsed the most painful moment in his life. 'Kami-sama,' he thought, 'I have no idea what to do.' He led his sister out into the isle.

After the rehearsal was over, and the company had eaten dinner, everyone was getting ready to go home. Sakura picked up her coat and handbag, and was just about to call Syaoran over to ask for a ride home, when she was stopped by her brother. Touya grabbed her hand, and said,

"Saku, I kinda have to talk to you. Why don't you let me drive you home?" She agreed, and gave Syaoran a kiss goodbye, and Touya shot a halfhearted glare at him for old time's sake. "Come on Kaijou," he said, "It's time to go. It's getting to late for little monsters like you to be up." Sakura shot a mock glare at him, and stomped his foot.

"If that's the way you feel..." She turned around and pretended to sniff. "I suppose Yuki or Syaoran would love to take me home, without teasing me." Touya gave her a hug, and they made their way to the cars.

Ok, I know this isn't really a chapter, but it's the first half of the next one. The second half is in my brain, I haven't written it yet. I know this sucks, and you are mad at me, but I am leaving...today...in 20 minutes, and I thought maybe this would be good enough until I get back.(one week)

Again, I am really really really sorry, and you can expect a super-duper cool chapter...or whatever, as soon as I can.

Also, I was just checking over my dates, and I realized none of it made sense. I will eventually go back and fix it.

Despite the fact that I have not really posted anything, please review, even if it is only to yell at me for not finishing the chapter on time. See you in a week!
