Chapter 1: Away she goes
Author's Note: Hey!!! I'm going to start on a new story, because I had an idea about a story and yeah. Um... Well this isn't exactly my story; I kinda adapted it from a book so really I don't own anything.
Well here goes my "attempt"... (Hopes for the best)
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
A young man with light brown hair knocked on the door of the Kinomoto mansion, where his best friend Sakura lived.
"Come in, please Mr Tommy, Miss Sakura will be down in a little while." the butler informed.
Tommy entered and looked around the house. Lately, Sakura had always been taking her time coming to anywhere. Sakura and he had been childhood friends, but he wanted all of that to change. He was going to ask Sakura to marry him. He noticed her when she was young; she had become more beautiful everyday. His friendship with her couldn't last that much longer, when he wanted her so much.
"Guess who?" came a childish voice behind him as her hands covered his eyes.
"Sakura," he sighed, the fact that her breasts were pushing against his back didn't help.
"You're no fun any more," she whined.
Tommy looked at his friend. She was wearing a beautiful ice blue gown that was strapless. The neck of the dress went down low, outlining her curves.
"You leaving to England tomorrow, with you father and brother?" he asked
"You know I am, and I can't wait! I'm going to go to heaps of social gatherings and large parties (like formal ones), my father has it all planned out."
Tommy chuckled to himself. It was Sakura's first trip to England, and she was obviously excited.
"Sakura," Tommy started, "Don't go, marry me instead,"
"What!" Sakura exclaimed, she knew that Tommy had feelings for her but hers didn't go any deeper than friendship.
"Marry me," Tommy repeated, "and afterwards we can go to England together,"
"Tommy, I'm sorry, you're very dear to me and all, and I do love you, but my feelings don't go any deeper than as a brother, I see you as my closest brother," Sakura replied, as she only had one other brother, Touya.
"You'll see," Tommy answered back his voice filled with anger, "you'll meet some mad there, and he'll ask you to marry him and you'll forget all about me."
Sakura laughed.
"I'm not interested in finding a man, they probably all mindless people after money, at the social places I'm going to," Sakura said, trying her best to try and cheer up her friend.
"Okay well then," Tommy said, "I've got to go now, so enjoy your trip," he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura sat down on the couch as her brother entered.
"You know I don't like that guy," Touya said.
"He asked me to marry him."
"You declined right?" Touya asked
Sakura remained silent.
"Right?"
Sakura still didn't say anything.
"You had better declined him or else I'm going to go over to his place and..."
Sakura burst into laughter.
'What's so funny?"
"You"
"I don't see anything funny about being worried that your sister is marrying some loser."
"I rejected him."
Touya punched his sister, playfully as there father entered.
"How are you doing father?" Sakura asked, their father had been a U.S navigational pilot *(I have no idea what that is, I made it up).
"Fine, fine, are you both ready and all set up to go to England tomorrow?"
"Of course,"
Touya watched as his little sister was getting all worked up on going to England, he chuckled to himself.
"I asked Henry (butler) to bring you bags down." Fujitaka replied as Henry came down with heaps and heaps of bags.
"Sakura dear, do you think you've got quite enough bags," questioned her father as he saw that most of those bags were Sakura's.
"Yeah, you know, I didn't know what to bring, and I wanted to make an impression." Sakura giggled nervously.
"More like trying to find a husband," added Touya.
"Hey!" Sakura exclaimed as she stomped on Touya's foot, "I'm not going to marry anyone just yet, and they probably won't treat me right."
The phone rang
"Henry could you please see who that is?" asked Fujitaka, as Henry walked off to answer it.
"It's for the young master sir." Henry replied as Touya got up and went over to the speaker.
"Who is it?" Touya asked their butler.
"Mr Jason and also his sister Josiane in the background." The butler replied as he handed over the phone.
Sakura frowned; she didn't like Jason and his sister. They were both good looking, with blonde hair, but Josiane allowed men to push her around and wasn't very "loyal".
Touya hung up the phone.
It was Jason and Josiane; they wanted to wish us a happy trip.
Touya sighed, as he saw the look on his sister's face, as his father stood up and walked off with him. His sister had this thing about women rights.
"You know father, she's never going to marry, no one's going to be good enough."
"That's her choice to make; I don't really mind what she does as long as she's happy and has no regrets with her choices."
Touya sighed again; his father had this thing about living life with no regrets as his father was in a war. There mother had died when Sakura was young.
"You know the worst thing you did was give her an education." Touya replied.
Fujitaka smiled to himself and chuckled.

"Calling all passengers for Airline 165, calling all passengers for Airline 165," the loudspeaker repeated.
"That's us, come on now, why the sad faces," Fujitaka said.
"I'm going to miss this country," Sakura replied.
"You'll be back in a month you know," joked Touya.
"Hey!" Sakura said as they all entered the plane
"This is Flight 165; we all wish you a comfortable and safe journey."

1 month later
Sakura was out shopping for her last gown for her last party. She sighed; England wasn't as exciting as she though it would be. Sure the parties were okay but she usually felt herself being bombarded with marriage proposals. She declined them all; as she thought the men there were foolish. They hardly knew her; the probably only wanted to marry her because of her looks.
Sakura was looking through the stores trying to find a beautiful gown to impress everyone for her last appearance, when she bumped into two people.
"I'm so sorry, I should've looked where I was going." She apologised.
"Don't worry, it's not a bother," a young lady with dark, long black hair answered.
"Are you shopping for a gown for tonight at the Erwington Ball?" asked the girl when she saw what the other girl was doing.
"Uh, yeah," Sakura replied.
"Oh well, I'm Meilin," introduced the girl, "and this is my husband Nick."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Sakura," Sakura introduced.
"Are you out looking for a husband at this ball?" asked Meilin
Sakura shook her head.
"Not really, I've had heaps of marriage proposals, but they seem all just plain stupid." Sakura put it bluntly.
Meilin laughed.
"Well, see you tonight then."
"Yeah, bye," Sakura replied as she continued on looking for a gown.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Meilin was in her room, with her husband, getting ready for the ball tonight.
"Is your brother Li coming?" asked Nick, her husband.
"Yeah, though he sees no point in coming," answered Meilin.
"Hmm, hmm," answered as Nick as he added the finishing touches to his suit.
"Ready to go?" asked Meilin as they both walked out the door Meilin's arm tucked behind his.
"I don't know why I bother coming," said a masculine voice from outside.
"You should really find yourself a wife and settle down brother," answered Meilin.
"Yeah, as if," Syaoran smirked; those girls that went to those balls didn't appeal to him anymore. They were too into themselves, and there bodies weren't that enticing.
"You'll be surprised tonight," Meilin replied, remembering the girl she had met earlier on in the day. She knew that she would be perfect for her brother, as she was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
Syaoran smirked.
"Let's go so we can get the night over with," answered Syaoran.
Meilin smiled to herself.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura arrived at the ball looking around. Her brother and father went off to talk with some of their friends, she sighed. She would probably now have to dance with people.
"May I have this dance," asked a man with black hair.
"Yes," Sakura replied, trying to be polite.
After the dance she sat down again when the same man appeared in front of her.
'Oh no, here we go again," Sakura groaned inwardly, knowing that he was going to propose and that she would have to politely decline him.
"Will you, Sakura Kinomoto, marry me?"
"I'm touched by your offer, but I must sadly decline," she watched as his face turned down, and as he walked away.
Sakura sighed, parties like this weren't fun. She needed some fresh air and privacy, as she didn't want to be asked to dance again, so she went out onto the balcony
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Syaoran entered frowning, when his sister and her husband walked off to dance. When suddenly his eyes caught a beautiful girl with light honey brown hair, which was curled into ringlets.
He moved to her when he saw that she was heading outside, towards the balcony.
"Perfect," Syaoran said to himself, meaning the opportunity and the girl herself.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura was outside trying to relax, when she heard footsteps behind her.
"Hello, my name is Syaoran Li, and I noticed you from inside."
Sakura gulped this time. The man that stood before her was the most handsome and good looking man she had ever seen in her life. She could see his muscles from his shirt that he was wearing and how strong and perfect he looked.
"Um, I'm Miss Sakura." Sakura addressed herself, trying to show that she was formal.
Syaoran grinned, she was single. He didn't care if she had a boyfriend, she wasn't married.
Syaoran got down on his knees for the first time in his life.
"Marry me." He asked, but his voice made it sound more like command.
"I'm sorry but I must decline." Sakura answered as she tried to walk away, when Syaoran's arm grabbed hers.
"I tried doing it your way, now I will do it my way." He replied as he grabbed both her arms and leaned down to kiss her softly on the lips.
Sakura was shocked, and tried to break lose but his grip was too tight. So she tried an old trick her mother had taught her.
Syaoran could feel her objecting but he didn't care, when he suddenly felt her go stiff in his hands.
"Sakura?" he asked seeing what was wrong with her. When she opened her eyes and kicked him in the groin.
"Argh!" he screamed letting go off her.
"That serves you right," she replied as she stormed off to find her brother and father.
"Father, can we go home now?" Sakura asked her father
"Are you sure, why so early?" he asked back.
"I just feel really tired," Sakura lied.
"Okay the, well Touya come on, we're going home." Fujitaka said as the walked out and got into their limo.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Syaoran watched from above the balcony as, he saw the black limo go away from the mansion. He watched as he saw Sakura turn to see if he was still there, and when he saw the look of disgust on her face he chuckled.
"I'll get you my way, my Cherry Blossom."
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura looked back to see if that man was still there, when he caught her looking at him. She quickly turned around and thanked god that she was leaving tomorrow.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
