Chapter 3: She's Yours Now
By: Lady Jessica Silverflame
Sakura and Syaoran arrived at the Kinomoto residence after leaving Tomoyo to convince her mother to let her go to Hong Kong. Now Sakura faced that same task.
Her father Kinomoto Fujitaka still knew nothing of her position as the Mistress of the Sakura Cards and Sakura was contented for it to remain that way, especially if she was to convince her father to let her go to Hong Kong. Her over protective brother Touya was aware of Sakura's magical powers, having given his own special abilities to Sakura's guardian Yue to prevent him from disappearing. However this did not hinder him from watching over his little sister like a hawk.
From the smells wafting through the house supper was almost ready as the two removed there shoes and stepped inside. "Ohayo Tou-san!" Sakura called.
Kinomoto Fujitaka appeared around the corner in a yellow checked apron, smiling brightly, "Ohayo Sakura, Ohayo Li-kun how was your trip?"
Syaoran bowed to the older man "as well as to be expected Kinomoto-san thank-you."
Fujitaka smiled approvingly "Supper will be ready soon. Sakura why don't you let Li unpack in the guest room."
Sakura nodded and, gasping Syaoran's hand, led him up the stairs to the new made-up guestroom. "Do you think you're father will agree?" He asked, placing his bag on the bed.
Sakura stayed in the doorway in quite contemplation "it's not my father I'm worried about," she replied.
The future Li Clan leader heaved a sigh before sitting down and beckoning the Card Mistress to join him. She crossed over to stand before him and he took her hands in his. "Try not to let Touya's reaction worry you too much, Koishii, in the end it will be your father who has the final say."
Sakura smiled "and I'm sure he would be trilled to hear that I'm running off to a foreign country with my boyfriend whom has a habit of running away from home."
Syaoran grinning proudly before standing up and bringing his face inches from hers "All for you my love." And he kissed her.
Surprisingly enough Sakura's father was quite taken with the idea. He said it would be a wonderful learning experience for his daughter. Of course Fujitaka had not been blind to the difficulties the two Card Captors (though he did not know they were Card Captors) faced in there relationship. Though he did not know the reasons behind Syaoran's family's persistence to getting him to stay in Hong Kong, he did know that his daughter loved the young warrior with all her heart and, as her father, he would do whatever he could to make her happy.
This made her happy beyond her wildest dreams.
Touya was a different story.
He had remained relatively calm while Sakura and Syaoran had explained they're reasons for Sakura to go to Hong Kong. Obviously he had assumed that their father would reject the idea. It was when he said yes that the yelling had started.
At first Touya had stated his usual argument: there was no way he would stand by and allow his baby sister to go to a foreign country with a no good gaka whom had attacked her.
It slowly progressed until Fujitaka ended it with a stern statement: Sakura was going and there was nothing Touya could do about it. After that was settled and when both Sakura and Syaoran had left the table to plan the trip back to Hong Kong did Fujitaka speak gently to his eldest son.
"I realize you only want to protect her," he told Touya in his fatherly tone, "but you must understand she's in love."
Touya pounded the table with his fist "She's my little sister! She's not supposed to fall in love!"
Fujitaka smiled patiently "yet she has, to someone whom would never hurt her, never betray her and whom loves her as my as we do." He sighed "Touya, you've done such a wonderful job protecting her, but now that she's grown, she has found someone else to do that."
Touya sighed in defeat "I don't want her to grow up."
Fujitaka smiled sadly "nor do I."
Author's Notes: Yes I know it's short, but it was annoying me. I had to get all the Touya stuff out of the way before I could move on to the interesting stuff! Next Chapter will be leaving and then arriving in Hong Kong! Interesting no? Any idea? Comments? Concerns? Leave me a review. Until next time God Bless?
