RECAP:
He slowly walked towards her
When he reached about just close enough for Sakura to become completely speechless, he kneeled down before her on one knee.
Sakura's heart jumped, 'Oh…my…God…'
He took out a black velvet box and opened it to present a pink diamond ring.
Sakura's teary eyes of sparkling emerald trailed from the ring to Syaoran's face.
"Will you, Sakura Kinomoto, marry me…?"
A small gasp made its way out of Sakura's tightened throat.
Both of their futures, and the future alone, depended on Sakura's response, and she knew that completely.
She stood there for a moment, letting the shock get to her more and more.
Syaoran was risking everything for this one proposal, and it all depended upon Sakura's simple response.. It would be a response that would either break his heart, or make him the happiest man in all eternity. But whatever would be her choice, Syaoran would continue to love her forever and after.
But nonetheless, the future of everyone in Sakura's life was at stake…And hers as well. It was all up to her…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran looked up at her, awaiting for her answer…The answer that would either make him the happiest, man alive…or crush his heart silently…
"I…"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"…….I do…."
Syaoran gave one little whoop of celebration as he jumped up and squeezed the life out of her, "God, I love you.." but a wobble in his voice gave away what he really felt like doing.
'Was he…about to cry…?'
As they pulled away, Syaoran slipped the ring on.
"That ring's gorgeous… Well, you know what they say: 'a gorgeous ring for a gorgeous woman'!"
Sakura giggled as she embraced him once more, "Amen to that!"
They were laughing like mad as they kissed over and over again.
Mr. Toyoko made his way through the hall and came to a halt, mid-way from fixing himself, when he saw a man kissing his girl! (His girl?! PUH-LEAZE!)
It was then that Sakura spotted him, "Oh! Mr. Toyoko!"
"M-Ms. Kinomoto.."
"Hey! This is my brother, Syaoran, and we're getting married!"
Syaoran and Sakura laughed like little kids at her little comment.
"….O.O….uh….uh… M-Ms. Kinomot-to…um……… C-congratulations?--"
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!"
"…I… um…"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHA!" but they continued to laugh hysterically, not paying any care to anything.
Mr. Toyoko found himself slipping away, out the door, feeling like an idiot.
But yes, indeed they were high… High on love…
"You've made me the happiest man alive…"
Sakura giggled "But of course. You're the love of my life."
-&-
Eventually, the happy couple sobered up and headed over to Syaoran's house, since as Sakura's shift was over for the day.
But, soon, there would be something to rain on their parade... It was Syaoran's big mistake to ever forget that fact…
-&-
"Well, here we are..."
Sakura inhaled the summer scent of the cool and intoxicating breeze, "Just as beautiful as I remember..."
Syaoran couldn't help but smile. She actually remembered when she last visited, 'So long ago…'
He helped her out of the car as she gazed out into the open-air, her eyes trailing from the top of the mansion, to the very bottom, loving every inch of it.
They climbed the small stairs, leading to the grand, wooden door. Syaoran rang the doorbell and Wei, their butler answered, "Ah, Li-sama. Welcome back," he glanced over at Sakura, "And Kinomoto-san, welcome to the manor. My pleasure to see you again."
Sakura bowed politely as a greeting, "The pleasure is all mine, Wei-san."
A small smile made its way to the old man's face as he let them both in.
Sakura observed and admired every corner of the immeasurable corridor and loved every fleck of sunlight that hit each turn of the gigantic hall, 'Such beauty…'
They walked into the living room and found Yelan there, staring out the window.
"Xiao Lang?" she sensed Syaoran's aura, but there, she sensed another familiar aura…
Could it be???
She turned around and a pleased grin made its way to Yelan's usual stern exterior, "Sakura-san!" she walked over and gave Sakura a tight embrace, "Goodness, Sakura… I haven't seen you in ages," she sighed as she pulled away to take a good look at her.
"I missed you too, Li-san."
Yelan pouted, "You know, Sakura-san, I did always tell you to just call me Yelan from now on."
Sakura patted Yelan's hand and laughed, "And I did tell you to just call me Sakura."
Yelan's eyes widened in disbelief when she spotted the engagement ring around Sakura's finger. She took Sakura's hand in hers and examined it carefully, "Sakura-san…" She inspected it some more then looked up again at her, "Are you getting married??? Who is the guy?" A hint of disappointment was clearly on Yelan's delicate face.
"It's Syaoran!" she laughed.
Syaoran's eyes widened when he realized where this was going to lead.
Yelan looked at Syaoran incredulously. But, deep down, Yelan did feel somewhat relieved,"May I speak to Xiao Lang alone for a moment please?"
Sakura nodded, "sure."
Yelan took Syaoran into the kitchen and shut the door quietly. She turned around and stared at Syaoran in dismay, "Xiao Lang, you know about the talk we had yesterday about the 'news'! What do you think you're doing?!"
Syaoran rubbed his temple in frustration. He already knew he was in for a loooooooonnng talk.
-&-
Meiling walked into the living room and found Sakura glancing out the window, waiting patiently.
Meiling rubbed her hands together menacingly and walked up to Sakura, "Kinomoto!"
"Oh! Li-san! How are you?"
Meiling plastered an ever-so fake grin and put a hand over her chest, "Oh, I'm doing wonderful." Meiling glanced at Sakura's engagement ring and frowned, 'Ah, so I see dear Xiao Lang has proposed to her… We'll just see what kind of dirty tricks we can cook up with this...'
Meiling gave Sakura one last smile, "Well, I best be running off. I've got lots to do today."
Sakura smiled back, "Okay then. It was nice to see you again, Li-san."
Meiling sneered, "Likewise."
-&-
Yelan was already halfway done with her guilt speech but didn't seem quite done yet.
"You know what the elders said you should do! You cannot—and I mean cannot--disobey their orders! It'll put our family honor at stake and your chance to be the leader of the Li clan, let's not forget."
"If it means that I have to marry Meiling and not Sakura, then so be it."
Yelan rubbed her forehead in exasperation, "Xiao Lang… What am I going to do with you…"
"Do nothing. It's my own choice to make."
She sighed and looked back up at him, "I guess there is nothing I can do about this for now… I'm going to leave this choice to you… I only hope you make the right one…."
Syaoran stared at his mother in a quiet manner, 'Great… Just another choice to make… As if I don't have enough.'
He walked out of the kitchen and walked into the living room, not quite in the greatest mood.
"Syaoran!" Sakura's grin faltered when she saw Syaoran's grim expression, "Something wrong?"
He smiled a little then shook his head, "Iie(no)…" he took Sakura's hand in his, "Everything's just fine…"
Sakura nodded perceptively.
"C'mon… Let's go. I want to spend some time with my fiancée."
Sakura giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek, "Oh yeah, you sound so sexy, Mr. Sexy Pants!"
But deep down, inside, Syaoran knew things weren't all right at all… Sakura would be devastated to hear that he was supposed to marry Meiling. And it hurt him so deeply to even think about breaking the news to her. But then again…he did propose to Sakura… He knew it'd break her heart when she would find out that he couldn't marry her. Goodness, he was in a bind…
Soon enough he'd be faced with the toughest decision he were ever to make.
