Crazy First Love

Chapter 15 - Discoveries

Sakura's house, her room, same day as proposal-

"OH MY GOD! HE DID?" Tomoyo screamed over the phone. Sakura plugged her ears as she held the phone away from her ear.

"Tomoyo, please, stop screaming!" she pleaded.

"Okay, okay, sorry. But really, he PROPOSED? I knew he liked you but MARRIAGE? Oh my gosh that is the cutest thing!" she squealed.

Sakura laughed. "I know. But it's some family tradition of his. So then we decided to throw a little celebration party for the occassion. So will you come?"

"OF COURSE! You don't even have to ask! I'll help you set up everything you need. I'll call Eriol too!" she said very quickly that Sakura only made out some of the words.

"I'm glad to hear you're all excited and everything... hm," she then grinned. "Which reminds me, is there anything going on between you two?"

"Wh-What? No! Nothing is going on," she stammered.

"Oh...that's too bad...," she laughed. She could tell Tomoyo was probably blushing on the other end of the phone at her comment. "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow so we can go shopping to get everything ready."

"Sure!"

Syaoran's house-

"Congratulations!" Meilin squealed. "You guys look like a cute couple anyway!"

"Stop screaming will you! You're starting to remind me of someone I know. And it ISN'T Sakura..." Syaoran groaned.

"I believe you're suppose to have an engagement party...are you not, Xiao Lang?" Yelan asked sipping her tea.

"Yes...we're having it the day after tomorrow, if at all possible, maybe even tomorrow. Knowing who Sakura might call after this... well, it might be tomorrow," he grinned. "Oh yeah, I have to call Eriol. Gotta ask if he'll be my best man."

He picked up the phone and started dialing in the number. Meanwhile Yelan and Meilin speak as he's on the phone.

"Looks like love can make people do crazy things, if you ask me," Meilin grinned.

"All's well, that ends well, my dear. I'm happy to see Xiao Lang is happy about this marriage now. I believe I lost count on how many he rejected," she said drinking her tea.

"I think it was...67. Was it? I don't even remember."

"Well, doesn't matter now. Time to call in the others I suppose. WIll you do it for me, dear?"

"What? Call his sisters?" Yelan nodded. "Um, okay...I'll do it after he gets off the phone."

Syaoran then laughed. "Okay, so you'll do it then?"

"Of course! No need to ask. I'd gladly accept the honor of being best man," Eriol replied. "But really...proposal? Was it your mother again?"

"Yeah, obviously. But this time I guess it's a good thing! It helped me think about Sakura more clearly now."

"Good for you man. Of course, best wishes. So when is the wedding?"

"Um... I can tell you it'll be 2 weeks from now."

"WHAT?" Eriol boomed over the phone, nearly causing Syaoran to drop the phone and break it. "That's really fast! Weddings take time to plan, my friend."

"Yeah well...mother isn't wasting any time on this. I can imagine what it would've been like if it WASN'T Sakura..." he said shuddering. "And I can imagine what her brother is going through," he added with a laugh.

"Sakura's brother? When did he get back?"

"Err, well, the same day I proposed to Sakura... You wouldn't believe his reaction when he found out."

Sakura's house-

"HOW--WHAT--MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY!" Touya roared.

"What? I can't marry someone I like?" Sakura asked innocently with a grin.

"That's not the point! Wait, you're still in high school! Why are you marrying him now?"

"Oh, well, it's like his family tradition to get married when you're approaching manhood so..."

Touya's eye twitched. Fujitaka then took his cup of coffee oblivious of the anger.

"Now, Touya, you know she likes Syaoran. Why are you over reacting?" he said as he proceeded into the kitchen.

"What do you mean 'WHY'? She's still 17! She can't get married now!"

"Love holds no boundaries."

"You-- what-- ugh," Touya then dropped himself onto the couch. "Forget it. I give up."

"Huh, I thought you'd probably go on longer than this... heh," she laughed looking at her watch.

"Alright, but let me just get this clear: if he does ANYTHING to harm you in any shape or form, you tell me right away and I WILL murder him!" he warned. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Okay, if that'll get you to stop arguing."

"Hey! I only want what's best for you. And I dont' want you getting hurt either," he pointed out calmly. She smiled brightly.

"I'll be fine! How long have I known him? You know that."

He grinned. Fujitaka then poked his head out of the kitchen. "Time to eat dinner, come on you two."

They both got up from the couches and went into teh kitchen.

Next day, Tomaeda High-

By the time they got to the school, Sakura and Syaoran were surprised to see that people had begun congratulating them.

"What the..." they both thought. Then they came to the conclusion: Tomoyo.

They both entered the classroom to find everyeone suddenly look in their direction. "Look, there they are!"

"huh?" they both said in unison. Everyone then rushed over and bombarded them with questions.

"Congratulations!"

"How did this happen?"

"How did you propose, dude?"

"That is so romanctic!"

"You two look totally cute together!" (a/n: i know what you're thinking, i also believe im making all the people in this story TOO friendly...i think i need some negativity in my stories. but that wont happen in this lifetime. i dont like the drama! lol!)

They both finally were able to get to their seat next to Meilin, Tomoyo and Eriol after the teacher came in.

"Okay, who told who what," Syaoran said dully looking around the table. Everyone then pointed at Tomoyo.

"What?" she said innocently. "It's a crime to be happy for someone?"

They both sighed in exasperation.

"Alright! Settle down! Take out your books. Exams are immediate by Friday! I won't tolerate tardiness this week, understood?"

The class groaned.

After school, Syaoran's place-

"Cheers, to the new engagement!"

Everyone held up their drinks and then gulped it down as chatter broke out around the table in the kitchen. Syaoran rubbed his temples.

"I think I need a break from this. Exams are this week..." he sighed. Sakura stared at him.

"Just have fun for today! Then study away tomorrow! C'mon, Syaoran!" she laughed.

"Uh huh."

"Lighten up man! Just be happy you're finally engaged to someone you like!" Eriol joked. Tomoyo then slapped him behind the head. "What was that for?"

"For being dimwitted, 'dear'," she giggled.

"Oh, I knew you were lying when I asked you about this over the phone!" Sakura exclaimed. They both blushed.

"Hm? When did this happen?" Syaoran teased with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing happened!" Eriol said slowly, face still red.

"Yeah, we were just really ," Tomoyo finished, taking a drink.

Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other and then burst out laughing. "What?" the other two demanded.

"You guys are so hilarious!" Sakura laughed. "You two totally had a thing for each other WAY before we even started hating each other."

"Yeah, you remember that trip to the countryside for Enviromental Studies?" Syaoran said trying to hold back the new waves of laughter at the thought.

Flashback, after the 'kissing' incident

Syaoran finally let Sakura thwack him on the head causing a lump to appear on his head.

"Alright! satisfied?" he said exasperated.

"Yeah, and if you do that again--" she warned dangerously.

"Yes, I know. You'll kill me. So now what?"

Sakura grinned. "I'm getting a feeling there was a nice timing in this..."

"Huh?" he said dumbfounded.

"You are so clueless. You get a feeling Tomoyo and Eriol have been trying to set us up lately?"

"Who hasn't? The whole school, I've been getting a feeling, has been hounding us this year."

"Ah...but this is a little exeption... don't you think they spend TOO MUCH time TOGETHER in trying to set US up?" she emphasized.

He put a hand to his chin. "Hmm... yeah, I do."

"Let's go spy on them! A little payback. Just what exactly do they do when they're TOGETHER, not including us in their plans."

He laughed. "You are so lame. But fine. I'm in."

They both crept silently out into the dark hallway. It's was late at this time and they proceeded several doors down to the room they, Tomoyo and Eriol, shared. They were hearing voices inside. Syaoran motioned towards the knob, surprisingly to find it actually unlocked. Sakura almost laughed out loud evilly but held it in. They opened the door to hear the voices more clearly.

"That was worth the trouble," Tomoyo's voice came. "Now I can add this to my video collection."

"I think you get out of hand sometimes but that's what I like about you," Eriol' voice came soon after.

"Oh, um, thanks?"

Syaoran then signalled Sakura to give him something. "What?" she whispered.

"That rubber thing I told you to bring with us."

"Oh. THAT?" You are so weird. Why did you even bring it."

"For this," as she handed it to him. It was a black furry rubber object. He then gently tossed it inside and a scream came out.

"AHHH! THERE'S A RAT IN THE ROOM!" Tomoyo screamed quickly jumping and holding onto Eriol, who then fell over onto the floor

"Eh?" he looked cautiously around them but didn't see anything.

Syaoran and Sakura then moved out of the way as several other students and a teacher came to investigate the sudden uproar. They then spotted the two roommates in the aweward position. Tomoyo was on top of Eriol, hugging him very tightly.

"You two! What in hell's blazes are you doing in the middle of the night?" the teacher thundered. Everyone else laughed.

End of Flashback

"OH MY GOD, THAT WAS YOU!" Eriol roared trying to hide his blush. "WE ALMOST GOT SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Sakura then waved her hand telling him to brush it off. "Relax! You didn't were you? I heard they found the fake rat Syaoran threw at you anyway. Imagine if it were actually real," she giggled. Tomoyo was definitely silently blushing rethinking the incident.

"Yeah, and I think that actually help boost your 'love meter' up by a lot. You two DID start looking at each other weirdly when we got back..." Syaoran said with a smile on his face. "So I believe we should be getting a 'thank you'."

The two newly discovered couple glared with blush still on their faces but they all then laughed together and enjoyed the rest of the party with their families there conversing. Touya threw a few glares over at Syaoran, who just rolled his eyes (a/n: yes, i know... only girls should be doing that but whatever. lol). Fujitaka and Yelan were talking about the wedding arrangements with Touya who was still trying to argue about it. The rest of the group, including Meilin, continued to talk amongst themselves about life and school and the other usual, general stuff.

Sakura then seperated from the rest of the group and went outside into the back, where there was an enormous garden. She sighed as she sat in the empty bench near the door. Maybe this sudden marriage is going a bit fast... we didn't even go on an official date yet. But then again, we thought we hated each other before this came up...

"Sakura?" Syaoran came with a puzzled look on his face. "Are you alright?"

She smiled faintly. "I'm okay. Just a bit tired, I suppose..."

"Something's wrong then. I've known you long enough to know that," he said as he sat beside her. "You can tell me what's wrong you know."

She shrugged. "It's not a big deal..."

"Then you won't mind telling me," he said.

"Okay, fine. I was just thinking we should go on a date before getting married...offically."

"That's it?" She nodded. "Oh, then sure. I don't see why not. It's only appropriate."

"Alright then, it'll be... after the exams, I guess," he said, leaning in for a kiss. But she had gotten up from her seat.

"Well, Romeo, you'll just have to wait for a little bit," she said with a wink, walking back inside. Syaoran sighed.

"Now I'm understanding why I like her so much."

(a/n) Well...uhm, as for the sudden ET thing...dont ask. It just felt like sumthing to do. Oh well. Flames are welcome. lol.

I didnt want to just jump to the wedding so suddenly...this may give you a chance for some SS fluff, no? Yes, I do intend to put a epilogue even when I end this story... im sure you would want to see their future together. I can imagine your reactions...lol. alright, I'll update soon, promise. I cant say how long the chapter will be. It depends on the amount of ideas i have to put in their date.

Any suggestions of course, are welcome. Until then...
