After Touya had fainted they had no choice but to get back in the car and go back to Sakura's house to wait for the hell Touya would unleash on them when he woke up. When they arrived Sakura's father, Fujitaka asked them what was wrong and Sakura decided she should tell him about the news. She dragged her father into his office and closed the door so they could have this conversation in private. (Here goes nothing!)
"Uh... Dad, I have some um... exciting news," She smiled at her father and he smiled back.
"What is it Sakura, dear? Is it about Touya?" He suddenly got a worried look on his face. "Is he hurt?"
"No! No, no, no. Nothing like that," she reassured her father. He smiled at her again and waited for her to continue. "Dad.... I'm.... uh... I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna come out and say it. Dad, I'm engaged!" She closed her eyes and awaited massive amounts of yelling but all she heard was silence. She slowly opened one eye, then the other and looked at her father. He was just standing there looking at her calmly but with no emotion on his face. "Dad? Did you hear what I said?" No response. "Dad?"
....Meanwhile, back in the living room...
Eriol and Syaoran dragged Touya in the house. Syaoran was grabbing his shoulders while Eriol was grabbing his legs. They placed him on the sofa (more like threw actually) Tomoyo came in the house and closed the door behind her. They all sat on the couches and waited until Sakura told her dad about the engagement. In the mean time Tomoyo tried to start a conversation, "So when you guys get married are you going to live in Hong Kong?"
Syaoran thought about it for a second and then answered, "Uh... I don't know. But I guess we'll decide together."
"Oh I can't wait till you guys get married! I've always wanted you two to get together!" Tomoyo squealed. Eriol looked at her and chuckled.
Then came a moan from the couch (Touya) He sat up, and started rubbing the back of his head (where he fell on the ground.) He looked around and saw Tomoyo, Eriol, and the 'brat' Syaoran. Then it all came back to him and he started boiling like a kettle. (you know with steam coming out of his head.) "You! You little brat! What were you doing with my sister earlier tonight?"
"You mean my fiance?" He smirked.
"No, I mean my little sister!" His face started to get red.
"No I think you mean my soon-to-be-wife." He was still calmly sitting there on the couch smirking at him.
Touya looked at him and started growling. "You know her father isn't going to agree to this!"
"Well we'll just find out in a few minutes." He looked at the door to Fujitaka's office and Touya followed his gaze.
"What do you mean you little brat?"
"Sakura's in there telling your dad right now!" Tomoyo answered him.
......Now back in the room....
"Dad? Can you hear me? Can you say something?" She waved her hand in front of her father's face and said, "Helooo?"
Fujitaka came out of his shocked state and asked, "Can you repeat that?"
"Uh... Which part? Cause I've been babbling for like 10 minutes trying to get your attention." Sakura let out a nervous laugh. (Pretend she did ok?)
"The part about the engagement dear. You're engaged?" he asked his daughter calmly as if she had just said something common.
"Yes Daddy. I'm engaged to Syaoran. You remember him right?" She smiled at her father hoping that he would approve of the engagement.
He gave her a small smile and nodded. "Yes I remember him. Nice fellow. But I didn't know you were going out with him."
Sakura let out another nervous laugh. "Well I wasn't going out with him but we've been friends for like ever and in love for just as long."
"But you've never went out together?" Fujitaka gave her daughter a questioning look.
Sakura sighed and tried to explain the situation. "Well no. At least not as anything more than friends. We just confessed our feelings for each other tonight but he has to go back to China for three years because of his training for being the leader of the Li Clan."
Sakura eyed her father as he let the information sink in. "Do you really love him?"
"With all might heart," she answered sincerely.
"And does he love you?" he asked.
"He does. He really does."
Fujitaka looked at her daughter's anxious face as he tried to think about all of the information he'd just received. He looked at her and remembered her mother. He remembered how they were the same age as Sakura was then when they got married. He saw in her daughter's eyes that she really did love him. He had suspected for some time that she was in love with Syaoran. Father's intuition you could call it. Every time she had been hanging out with her friends in the house he'd always look at the little group and see two perfect couples: Tomoyo and Eriol, and Sakura and Syaoran. He wanted his daughter to be happy and he knew that Syaoran could make her happy. Plus he'd met Syaoran's mother once when she was visiting him there in Tomoeda and she was a very respectable person. He looked at her daughter's eyes and could see some much of her mother's spirit in them. They were full of life and excitement, always waiting for the next adventure. He smiled at her as he made a decision.
"I think it's a wonderful idea that you're engaged to him dear." Sakura immediately started shrieking of happiness and jumped up and down and hugged her father.
.....Back in the living....
Everyone was anxiously waiting to find out what Sakura's dad thought about the engagement. Touya was sitting on the couch confidently smiling knowing that there was no absolute way his dad would agree to it. Just then Sakura's happy screams filled the house and that smug look on Touya face immediately disappeared. Everyone else smiled. Touya rushed to his dad's office and knocked down the door. He saw Sakura and his dad hugging and he lost his mind and started yelling, "Dad! You didn't agree to the engagement did you?"
Fujitaka just smiled at his son as he let his daughter run out of the room and into the loving arms of her friends and fiancé.
"As a matter of fact, I did."
"WHAT?" His roaring was so loud that every car alarm outside went off. (OK. I'm exaggerating but it sounds funny to me!) "You can't be serious! You can't let Sakura get engaged to that brat!"
"Well Touya they're already engaged and they love each other. I don't see why anything should come in the way of them being together." He walked past his stunned son and into the living room where he shook Syaoran's hand and congratulated him, "You better take good care of my daughter, Syaoran."
He smiled at the elderly man and nodded, "I will, sir."
Touya turned around and looked at the scene that was unfolding in front of him. Tomoyo and Eriol were jumping up and down, hugging each other. Syaoran had one arm wrapped around Sakura's waist while shaking Fujitaka's hand with the other. He growled and mumbled, "This has got to be a dream!" He grabbed a magazine that was sitting on the coffee table, rolled it up, and hit himself in the head with it. "Nope, not a dream. " He walked up to Syaoran and tried to look calm. "You know, brat, now that you're engaged to my little sis I think it's time we had a talk."
Sakura quickly said something before Syaoran could answer him, "I don't think that's such a good idea, Touya."
Syaoran looked at Touya's face and saw how hard he was trying to look calm and sneered. "Actually Sakura, I think it's a pretty good idea. We'll be back in a sec." He kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the house with Touya following him. As soon as they were out of the room and the door was closed they all rushed to the window to look outside.
.... Front Yard....
"Well, Touya, what was it that you wanted to talk about." Syaoran crossed his arms and grinned at him.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked leaning against the wall shooting him a deadly glare.
"What do you mean?" He gave him a confused look.
"You proposed to my sister!!!! That's what I mean!!!" He threw his hand into the air.
"I know. So, what's your problem with it?"
"My problem is that she's my little sister and I can't just stand around and watch you play her!"
"What?! Play her? I love your sister more than anything! Why would I play her?"
"I don't know! But I won't let you break her heart!"
"I'm not going to break her heart!"
"You know I was so relieved when I found out that you were leaving at the end of the school year because I knew if you weren't here you couldn't hurt my sister. But instead you do something as stupid as this! You propose to her! And then you're going to leave for three years!!! And then after three years of not seeing each other you wanna marry her? What if she moves on or what if you move on? Do you have any idea how long three years is? Do you know how much that's going to break her heart?!" Touya was yelling so loud that the neighbors had all stuck their head out of windows and were listening to the conversation. Syaoran seemed to be thinking about everything that Touya had just said.
He let it all sink in. It hadn't occurred to him that, that was possible. He knew for sure that he would never love anyone more than Sakura but did she feel the same way about him? What if Touya was right what if she met someone else? It wouldn't be fair if they were to spend 3 years apart and then all of a sudden get married. He loved Sakura and he would never do anything to hurt her. So what was he suppose to do now?
Just like he had read his mind, Touya sternly said, "break off the engagement now so you don't have to hurt her later."
DUM DUM DUM!!!! What is going to happen next?!?! Will Syaoran break off the engagement? Will he break Sakura's heart? Will he and Sakura ever be together? Well.... I don't know yet! :P But be sure to come back for the next chapter to find out what happens!
