Ages: Sakura: 18 Syaoran:21 (On his birthday coming up in this fic)
Chapter 6: I cannot accept
On the ride to Hong Kong, Syaoran started explaining the rules.
"You must be properly dressed, don't worry, your personal maid Kitty will always be with you. If you ever need anything, call our personal butler Wei. If there are any questions to be asked, then ask my sisters, Fanran Fuutie Feimiel or Sheifa. And if there are any personal questions to be asked, either ask me, my mother Yelan or my father Xenon. You must be also be preparing for 2 things. Your operation and pregnancy. After you gain your vision back, I will explain the more detailed things you must learn."
Sakura sighed. "And after we divorce I can forget all this?"
Syaoran laughed. "Yes Sakura, after we divorce you can forget all this, but you must divorce me 3 years after our marriage okay?"
Sakura nodded.
Outside in the airport, their friends and family were watching them.
"Sakura will be safe right?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol nodded. "Syaoran got a personal maid Kitty to look after Sakura and his cousin Mei Lin Li will also take care of Sakura. I personally talked with Mei Lin for Sakura."
Tomoyo nodded.
Touya sighed. "Their Going, and Going…and now, their gone."
And yet again, the girls burst out into tears.
----Ride to Hong Kong----
Sakura was very, very sleepy. Her head kept on lolling back and forth. She shook her head a few times to move the sleep away.
Syaoran saw this and slightly smiled.
"Hey Sakura, if you want to sleep, then go ahead, you can lean on me."
Sakura smiled. "You sure?" She asked.
Syaoran chuckled. "Of course."
Syaoran placed an arm around Sakura's shoulder and placed her head on his shoulder. Within seconds Sakura fell into a deep slumber.
Syaoran sighed. 'Will mother and father agree to a blind bride?' he thought.
Sakura snuggled up to Syaoran and yawned. Syaoran smiled looking at her.
'Even though, she is still a sight for sore eyes.' Within hours they reached Hong Kong Island.
Syaoran shook Sakura awake. She woke up. "Hoe?" she asked.
"Sakura, we're here."
She yawned and grabbed Syaoran's arm.
"Where… where are we going?"
"Home…my home…our home."
Sakura slightly smiled as Syaoran guided them outside of the plane.
"What about our stuff?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran grinned. "Don't worry, we have butlers."
Sakura sighed and continued walking with linked arms.
"You know Mei Lin Li hai?"
Sakura grinned. "Yup, I know her!!"
"She's my cousin and she's coming to pick us up."
Sakura smiled. "Seriously?!?!"
Out of nowhere, a new but familiar voice came. "Yup Sakura."
"Mei Lin?" Sakura asked.
Mei Lin walked up to Sakura and grabbed her hand. "You said if we ever meet, I have to give you this…so here it is."
In the palm of Sakura's hand laid a beautiful gold-chained ruby necklace. "Mei Lin, I told you it was a joke."
"Well, to prove to you I ain't some phoney I had to do that."
Sakura grinned. "Wow this is so cool."
Syaoran chuckled. "Hey Sakura, we have to get home."
Mei Lin spoke up. "Ok, if I didn't have to do that, think of it as a belated birthday present. Happy birthday Sakura."
Sakura giggled. "Arigatou Mei Lin-chan."
Syaoran helped Sakura to the limo and Mei Lin tried to scare off all of the reporters.
"FUCK OFF!!" She screamed to a particular male reporter.
"Ah, but Mei Lin-san, you must tell me, where you got that sexy shirt, it reveals quite a lot."
Syaoran grinned. "Oi, Ryu you still after Mei Lin?"
The reporter grinned. "Yea. Your cousin is a sure feisty one."
Mei Lin scowled. "Sakura, let's go, these boys are ridiculous."
Sakura laughed as she linked arms with Mei Lin.
Syaoran unfortunately, invited Ryu to come along to the house. Ok, huge understatement there, not house, MANSION!!
"Sakura, we're here."
"Hmm…lemme think. Big house, lots of rooms and a HUGE front lawn."
Mei Lin was astonished. "How did you know?"
"Remembered from a specific letter you sent me."
Syaoran laughed. "You're so stupid Mei Lin."
She scowled but her face turned red when she felt the hand on her ass. "RYU LING YOU ARE A DEAD DUCK!!!" And the chase began.
After a few hours Mei Lin stopped chasing Ryu and took Sakura and Syaoran inside.
"Hey Syaoran, Uncle Xenon had to go to Beijing for a few days so only Auntie Yelan is here. Your sisters are really happy that you're home and…um…yea Wei has this whole thing set up for you and Sakura."
Syaoran nodded and held Sakura's hand as they walked inside.
The house seemed empty to Syaoran.
"Where is everyone?"
Sakura had an odd feeling. "I feel strange." She hissed.
Syaoran looked at her, her face was paler then usual.
"Hey Mei Lin, what's up with Sakura?"
Mei Lin looked worried. She placed a hand on Sakura's forehead. "Shit Syaoran, she's burning up."
"Sakura, did you eat anything before we got here?"
Sakura shook her head. "That's the thing I didn't eat anything."
"Dude Syaoran, I think it's the atmosphere." Ryu suggested.
"Could be."
"I…I wanna lay down." Sakura whispered.
Syaoran carried her up to 'their' room and placed her on the bed.
"Mei Lin, help change Sakura and Ryu get Wei to send up some food. I'll go meet with Mother."
The trio nodded and left to do their work.
---Mei Lin and Sakura---
"Hey Sakura, so what made you decide to marry my stupid cousin?" Mei Lin asked.
Sakura sighed. "I don't know, the proposal he gave was strange but either way believable."
Mei Lin laughed. "You falling for him?"
"As if, besides I have 3 years with him only."
Mei Lin laughed as she helped Sakura into a sky blue top and smoky grey skirt.
"Lemme do your hair ok?" Mei Lin asked.
Sakura nodded as she sat down on the bed. "I seriously need to get used to this place."
Mei Lin brushed Sakura's hair down and pinned it with a flowery clip. "Are you gonna sleep with Syaoran?"
Sakura shrugged. "I don't know. That's for Yelan-san to decide."
"So you don't mind?" Mei Lin asked.
"Mind what?"
"Mind if you sleep with Syaoran."
"Well I'll have to anyways, you know I do have to give him the heir, so now or later it really doesn't matter."
"Yea but Sakura, don't you think it'll be dangerous to have a surgical eye operation while you're pregnant?"
Sakura shook her head. "I know it won't be dangerous. Me and Syaoran talked with my doctor before we made the flight here."
Mei Lin smiled. "Ok done. Oh yea, Sakura I heard that Hiro made a damn appearance before you and Syaoran came here."
Sakura laughed. "Well yea, Hiro did come but Syaoran did scare him away."
Mei Lin let out a howl. "Ok sweetie, we're ready let's go."
And with that Sakura and Mei Lin left to go downstairs
---Syaoran and Yelan---
"Hello mother." Syaoran greeted as he entered his mothers bedchambers.
"Hello Syaoran, you're back mighty early for a boy who didn't want a bride."
Syaoran smiled. "Well, I did find her, but there's one thing about her…"
"She's blind?"
"Yes…how did you know?!?!"
"Mei Lin told me. Syaoran I think you're doing a great deed helping her out but while with that I think your doing a terrible deed. Syaoran, after her operation she will have to leave you, and her child…her kin behind. She…listen Syaoran, if you were to leave the Clan, how would you take it?"
"Terribly…"
"Exactly, but in this case it's her blood, her own. The Clan is just here because the Li family has created it centuries back, and we can re-create it if we wish to, but her child…Syaoran, nobody can replace blood…not even money."
Syaoran sighed. "But there is also the fact that if we fall in love, we stay."
Yelan smiled. "Falling in love? Syaoran knowing you that would be a million to one."
Syaoran sighed. "How would father take the fact that I'm going to marry somebody blind?"
"Not so well I suppose, unless this girl you intend to marry is pure at soul."
Syaoran nodded. "Yes mother, am I dismissed?"
Yelan nodded. "Go."
"Wait, mother, where are my sisters?"
Yelan laughed. "Shopping, they don't know you're home, this early."
Syaoran bowed, nodded and left his mothers bedroom.
He slouched and walked towards his bedroom…I mean his and Sakura's bedroom.
He reached his room to find Sakura and Mei Lin gone. He frowned and left for downstairs.
He saw Sakura sitting on the couch with Mei Lin feeding her chicken noodle soup and Ryu watching some t.v.
"How you feeling?" Syaoran asked as he sat down beside Sakura.
She smiled. "A bit better, not completely. Oh, nice soup Ryu."
Ryu grinned. "Thanks Saku!!"
Syaoran frowned. "Saku?" he inquired.
Ryu laughed. "Dude, Syaoran, I ain't trying to steal your lady!! She's still yours. Chill bro!!"
Syaoran glared at him. "Stop it with that stupid childish language!!"
Ryu laughed. "Ok, sure. Oh yea, did you tell our dear Saku the news…next month?"
Syaoran gulped. "Ok. Listen Sakura, our engagement is next week and our marriage next month."
Sakura's looked parlayed as she spat out the soup in her mouth.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! WE CAN'T DO THAT SO FAST!!!"
Syaoran laughed. "Oh Sakura, but we can…listen all we need to do is…" suddenly Wei appeared.
"Master Syaoran, Lord Xenon is here."
Syaoran sighed. "Sakura…my father is here…"
Mei Lin and Sakura jumped up and scrambled all over the place. Ryu sat on the couch since he was on the floor and Syaoran straightened up.
Mei Lin and Sakura ran to the kitchen and waited for the next news. But either way, they decided to eavesdrop.
"Father…" They heard Syaoran said.
"Yo, Uncle Xenon, what's happening bro?"
"Ryu…shut up." Xenon growled.
Ryu laughed and walked to the kitchen and listened to the conversation with Sakura and Mei Lin.
"Syaoran, you're back early." Xenon said. "Find a bride."
Syaoran seemed to gulp. "Yes father, Kinomoto Sakura is her name, and she's 18 years of age."
Xenon nodded. "Good, good. A nice Japanese girl is what we need."
Syaoran nodded.
"Tell me about her family." They both sat down on the couch.
"She has a father named Fujitaka Kinomoto, mother Nadesiko Kinomoto and 27 year old brother Touya Kinomoto. I think he used to date Fuutie, until she came back to Hong Kong."
Xenon nodded. "So the famous archaeologist Fujitaka is her father."
Syaoran sat there. "Yea, you know him?"
Xenon nodded. "Apparently yes, I paid him to do a special dig in Vietnam a few years back. He is actually quit good."
Syaoran had no reply.
"Tell me about her." Xenon ordered.
"Well, she's 18 and she's willing to finish her studies and bear us an heir. Um…she is well…smart I guess you can say and she is pretty popular with the younger kids…and well…"
"And well what Xiao Lang?"
"She's blind…"
There was a long pause.
"Blind?" Xenon finally managed to say.
Syaoran nodded.
"You chose a blind bride for this Clan?"
Syaoran yet again nodded.
"Syaoran…you…you…INSOLATE LITTLE BRAT!! HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE A BIND WOMAN FOR THE MISTRESS OF THE CLAN?!?!"
Sakura was shocked to hear this…as too was Mei Lin and Ryu.
Syaoran was also surprised. "But father, hear me out…"
"No…I will not…I cannot accept a blind bride."
"But I promised her that if she bears us an heir…"
"SO you BARGAINED a deal?!?! An heir for her vision? ARE YOU MAD XIAO LANG?!?!"
Syaoran was surprised at his fathers' rage.
"I expected you to bring a worthy woman for this family…not a handicapped…disabled…none worthy…"
That was it for Syaoran and Sakura.
"YOU WILL NOT SAY THAT ABOUT MY WIFE!!" Syaoran bellowed.
Xenon was awestruck. "You choose a blind woman before your father?"
"Well at least Sakura doesn't go putting people down. Yea I know she's blind and all but she still has a good heart. If you can't accept her then tell me, but you can't just go around cursing her dammit!!"
Xenon turned purple with rage.
Sakura stepped in, much to Mei Lin and Ryu's argument.
"Excuse me. But are you by chance Syaoran's father?" she asked as her head searched everywhere for his voice.
"Yes I am, but who are you?" Xenon asked.
Sakura's ears met his voice and her head turned to his direction.
"Tell me, have you ever a relative that was disabled?"
Xenon shook his head. "No, I have not. But what's this got to do…"
"This has everything to do with your situation…"
Xenon flared. "WHO ARE YOU?!?!"
Sakura sucked in a deep gasp of breath. "Kinomoto Sakura."
Xenon stopped dead in his tracks.
"If you don't want me a part of your family. I don't mind, but could you stop putting me down? Yes I am blind, but I am more then capable of doing what you are able to do."
Xenon had nothing to say.
"I'll be on my room, getting ready to leave." Sakura whispered as Mei Lin helped her up stairs.
Syaoran glared at his father.
"SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!?!" He roared as he went after Sakura.
Xenon stood there, watching the 4 figures, Syaoran, Mei Lin, Sakura and Ryu, leave.
'What have I done?' he thought.
