Chapter 19: Syaoran's Confession

Recaping the last chapter...

Touya sighed as he took the phone. She noticed Sakura's laptop and looked at it.

IM conference - yingBlossom - wolfdreamer

"Wolfdreamer? It's Syaoran, right?"

Touya looked at the bathroom door then back to the laptop. He sighed as he took the phone and brought it down to the living room. He said he needed to call Syaoran. Yes, because of the booth for their Christams Party and Literary Fest. And now, he has another reason to call him.

He dialed Syaoran's number and waited for someone to answer it. In the third ring, someone picked the phone.

"Moshi Moshi, Syaoran speaking." the voice in the other line answered.

"Syao, it's Touya. About our booth..."

...x...

Sakura went out of the bathroom and looked around. Oh yeah, Touya just got the phone. She looked at her left and she saw the door isn't shut. She walked to the door and sighed. "Onii-chan, next time if you enter my room, close it when you're going out, alright!" she shouted then slammed her door, leaving a loud bang.

She walked to her study table and looked at her laptop. After taking one look at the IM, she shut the laptop off and packed the laptop in its bag. Then, moving along to her backpack, she unzipped it and started to work on her chemistry homework.

Finally, after two hours she finished all her homework. Her stomach grumbled and she blushed. "I'm hungry," she complained as she looked at the watch beside her. "It's already 7? I wonder what Onii-chan's cooking for today." she wondered, as she went down to the dining room.

"Onii-chan, what're we having for supper?" she asked, as she entered the dining room. She saw him setting up the food on the table. She hurriedly sat in her seat and smiled.

"One of your favorites, tempura." Touya said seriously, taking off his apron and placing it in the counter.

Sakura looked at her brother curiously. "What's with you today? You seem serious or grumpy... Is there something wrong?" she asked, taking a bite in her tempura.

Touya shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "You're going to Tokyo U on Friday?" and Sakura nodded. "Do you have a ticket?"

Sakura looked at him and shook his head. "I need a ticket! Why!" she yelled.

Touya sighed and gave her 6 tickets. "Here, I'm sure you're going to asked me to get you. So here, Syaoran bought it for you and your friends." he said, finishing his meal. "You're the one washing the dishes today."

Sakura grinned and looked at Touya with stars in her eyes, "Arigatou, Onii-chan. You're the best." she said as she winked at him.

Touya shrugged as he put his dish in the sink. He walked out of the dining room, leaving Sakura alone.

...x...

Sakura looked at the tickets on the table. "6 tickets? Hmmm... Me, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, and Takashi." she counted out-loud, her mouth full of rice. "Everybody can come!" she said as she finished her meal. She put the tickets in her pocket, and then put her wares in the sink to wash.

She started washing them, and then all of a sudden she remembered Eriol. But then the video replayed in her mind. "Well, maybe Syaoran will give him one." she said to herself as she hummed her favorite song.

...x...

Next day, December 15, Thursday

Touya was walking to his room when Syaoran ran to him. "Hey, you seem serious today. What's wrong?" he asked, looking at Touya worriedly.

"I need to talk to you later." Touya said as he entered their room.

"Talk? About what?" Syaoran asked, knowing that it's serious. Touya turned to him and glared. Syaoran looked at his eyes and nodded. "I know you want to talk about Sakura."

Touya nodded as he sat on his seat. He was going to say something when the professor entered the room.

...x...

Later, Lunch Break of Tokyo U

Syaoran was standing by the wall behind the gym, waiting for Touya. He was getting really nervous. 'This is the time to confess,' he thought.

Touya approached him silently, Yukito beside him. He looked at Syaoran, "So, care to explain?" he asked, his arms folded in his chest.

Yukito looked at his two friends confused, "Is there a problem, Syao? To-ya?" he asked them.

Syaoran looked at Touya and sighed. "It looks like I have to say it," he paused. He inhaled deeply and exhaled it. "I love your sister, Touya," he confessed.

Touya glared at him and pushed him in the wall. "What did you say?" he asked.

"I love your sister, Touya." Syaoran repeated again. Yukito looked at Touya and Syaoran silently. He walked to them and sighed.

"To-ya, stop. Syao loves Sakura and you trusted him. I know he wouldn't hurt Sakura." Yukito said as he patted Touya's shoulder.

Touya gritted his teeth. "Even so!" he yelled and raised his fist, readying to punch Syaoran.

Syaoran looked at him and closed his eyes. He waited for the impact of the punch, but instead a pat in his cheek is what he got. He opened his eyes and saw Touya grinning. "Huh?"

"Fine, since I really trust you, I have nothing to do. But if you hurt my sister, you're dead." Touya threatened Syaoran.

Syaoran smiled and nodded. He was very nervous when Touya raised his fist. He wasn't thinking straight. "So, do I need to explain from the top?" he asked Touya who was walking in front of him to the cafeteria.

Touya looked from behind his shoulder and nodded. He turned to Syaoran and smiled. "You need to explain every detail, every person where you get help, everything." he said.

"Okay... so at first..."

...x...

Cafeteria, Tokyo U

Syaoran was sitting across Touya and Yukito. Yukito was reading a book while Touya yawned. He looked at his friends and sweat dropped. Do they really want to hear everything? It seems as if they're not interested.

Touya yawned again. "I was thinking you don't need to tell everything. I'm getting bored to these stories," he said as he scratched his chin.

"Okay," Syaoran sweat dropped again. "Toya, if I'm going to ask Sakura to marry me, you're going to agree?" he asked as Touya yawned again.

Then, Touya snapped. He grabbed Syaoran's collar across the table. "Tell me you're only joking. She's too young, for goodness sake, Syao! Do you think my father will approve!" he roared. The people in the cafeteria turned to them, as Touya went back to his seat. He coughed and the people went back to their business.

Then a group of girls from Seniors went to them. "Did we hear it right? Li will get married to your sister, Kinomoto?" the president of Syaoran's fan club asked.

"Wow, she must be lucky because Li is nice, smart, athletic, caring, loving and most of all, handsome." the vice president added.

Touya sweat dropped as Yukito smiled. Syaoran blushed as he lowered his head. "I think, yes, he will marry my sister. But I don't know if my father will approve." Touya said, irritated because of the girls' voice.

"Then, then, you're going to invite us, right Li?" the president asked, eager to know Syaoran's answer.

"I don't know."

...x...

Sakura opened her locker then sneezed lightly, Tomoyo beside her giggled. "Someone's talking about you Sakura," she said as she closed her locker.

Sakura rubbed her nose and nodded. "Maybe those popular wannabe guys still want to take me to Tokyo U's Christmas Party. I told them to stop asking me because I'm already going with my friends!" she said as she reached something in her bag. She took out her hand and counted the tickets. She handed one to Tomoyo and she took it.

"What's this? For Tokyo U?" Tomoyo asked as she read the ticket and Sakura nodded. "Really? Then we can take the limo to Tokyo U."

"Sure! I know we're going to have some fun. But guess who bought these." Sakura said, and Tomoyo smiled.

"Of course, you're one and only Oh-my-god-Syaoran-Li," Tomoyo answered as she walked to their room. "This is gonna be fun!" she exclaimed and followed by her famous Hohoho laugh.

Sakura giggled as they entered the first period for that afternoon.

...x...

4:56 PM

Back to Tokyo U, Senior's meeting

"So, tomorrow will be the day. From what the student council president, Li Syaoran, said the booths will be open in exactly 8:00 in the morning. Then it will be closed in 2 in the afternoon, except the food booths. At 3:00 sharp, the gym will be open for the special Christmas Program." the president of the Seniors announced.

The Seniors cheered as Syaoran stood up. He went in front of the class and smiled. "Well, do you like my idea?" and the Seniors agreed. "Also, tomorrow if you want to see, I'm sorry but I have something important to do. If it's urgent, just give a letter to Toya or Yuki. And I'll be there to help you." he said as he smiled at the class. He went back to his seat and sighed. It's really hard to become the student council president.

The meeting ended and the students went to their home and dorms. Syaoran was the only one left until Touya and Yukito went back to their room. "Hey, Syao. I know you're really excited for tomorrow. But are you sure Sakura won't get surprise?" Touya asked as he sat beside Syaoran.

Syaoran shook his head and smirked. "Of course not. The truth is she already has a guess who wolfdreamer is." he answered as he looked at the velvet box in his table.

Yukito took the box and opened it. "Hey, this is the one Sakura was looking at, in the magazine, right Toya?" he said as he showed the necklace to Touya.

Touya looked at the necklace and nodded. "So, when you said that you want Sakura to be your wife, there was only one thing in my mind why you said that. Your dad's will right?"

And Syaoran nodded. He sighed as he took the box from Yukito. "Well, tomorrow's the day. You'll help me, right?"

"Yup, I guess so." Touya and Yukito answered and they left their room.
