---Chapter 9: I Can See Part 1
"IT BETTER BE IMPORTANT OR…"
"Chill." Came Eriol's voice.
"Oh, ok now I feel dry." Syaoran said as he handed the phone to Sakura.
Sakura laughed. "Eriol?"
"HEY BABE!!!"
"WHY DOES THE WHOLE FRIGGIN WORLD CALL ME BABE?!?!"
Syaoran came up behind her. "Because you are one?"
"SHUT IT!!!"
"So what's the deal? Why you two are in England?"
Sakura sighed as she explained the whole story to Eriol.
"Ouch, harsh. We're on speakers so Tomoyo can hear."
"I see."
Syaoran grabbed the phone. "SO ARE YOU TWO COMING?!?!"
"Why?" Eriol asked.
"My sisters are gonna come soon…and you know Eriol, we still have to put spiders in their soup."
Eriol laughed. "Oh yea, and rats in their shoes."
"And cockroaches in their hair."
Sakura stuck her tongue out. "You're 20, not 12."
Syaoran laughed. "I'm a kid at heart."
Sakura stuck her tongue out.
"Hey Sakura, Syaoran, we have to go now, we'll call you tomorrow." Eriol said.
"Okay, but don't tell a single soul we're in England alright?" Sakura said.
"Yea, bye." Eriol and Tomoyo hung up.
"Sadness." Sakura murmured.
"Right, you do know over 100 things happened in one day."
"Exaggeration, not 100, but a lot of things happened today."
Syaoran laughed.
Suddenly…the door of the manor swung open.
"WE'RE HERE!!!!"
Sakura grinned and Syaoran groaned.
"Mei Lin!!!" They both said together, except Sakura was happy, and well…you can tell Syaoran wasn't.
----- ) . ) ( . ( -----
"HEY!!" Sakura cried as Mei Lin rushed up to her and hugged her.
"HEY HEY!!!" Mei Lin giggled.
Ryu and Syaoran hugged.
"How's the babe?"
"NO MORE BABE!!!"
Ryu and Syaoran chuckled.
"So Sakura, went to the docs yet?"
Sakura nodded. "Yea, she made an appointment with Dr. Lela Mackenzie for the 23rd."
Ryu smiled. "That's in two days."
Mei Lin laughed. "OH THIS IS THE BOMB!! Did you two talk about pregnancy yet?"
Sakura nodded. "Yea, unfortunately Syaoran is to embarrassed to talk about it."
Mei Lin and Ryu burst out laughing.
"What he do? Try to avoid it?"
Sakura laughed, "Something like that."
Syaoran growled. "YOU GUYS ARE SO MEAN!!!"
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, impossible."
Everyone burst out laughing.
---Later---
Sakura decided to do something very unexpected, gardening.
"BUT HOW THE HELL CAN YOU GARDEN?!?!" Ryu roared.
Sakura was shaking and Mei Lin was screaming at Ryu.
"HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT?!?!? IF SAKURA WANTS TO GARDEN THEN SO FRIGGIN BE IT!!!"
Syaoran was massaging his temples.
"SYAORAN!! HELP ME MAN!!!" Ryu screamed.
Syaoran shot a death glare at Ryu. "If Sakura wants to garden, then she can, Mei Lin gonna friggin be with her. Ryu she isn't your woman, so LEAVE IT!!"
Sakura slightly smiled. Mei Lin was glowing.
"YAY SYAO!!! YOU TOLD THE STUPID DRAGON!!!"
Now, Ryu seriously looked like a Dragon.
Sakura decided to speak up. "Ryu, why are you caring so much?"
"Because, you can hurt yourself."
"Well, I wouldn't do this shit if I knew I was gonna get hurt, I've been blind far longer then I've known you, I've grown a custom. But thanks for caring."
Ryu grunted before going to his bedroom.
"What's up his pussy?" Mei Lin quirked.
Sakura giggled. "Hush, to harsh of a language for me."
Mei Lin laughed.
---Dinner---
"So Sakura, how was gardening?" Syaoran asked.
Syaoran had to go out for very important Li Business stuff. A branch of the Li Co. had come to England, and since the Big Boss, Li Syaoran was there himself, he went to check it out.
"Funny, me and Mei Lin were having a Mud fight."
"Is that possible?" Syaoran asked.
Mei Lin laughed. "Yea it is, I threw mud at Sakura, she slapped a big chunk at my face, so we sat there, one spot fight."
Ryu grunted as he walked down.
"Are you still freaking over today?" Syaoran asked over his shoulder.
Ryu shook his head. "No man, mom just called."
Syaoran looked at Ryu, "And?"
"And what? She wants me married in 3 months. Where am I gonna get a girl in three months?"
Syaoran looked at Mei Lin, and Sakura knew Syaoran was doing it.
"Syao, leave Mei Lin." Sakura said in a warning tone.
"But how did…"
"I can read your mind…" Sakura said in an odd voice.
Syaoran was confused.
"I kinda figured you would look at Mei Lin, I'm your god damned wife."
"Almost, fiancée at this point."
Mei Lin looked at her plate.
"So what you gonna do Ryu?" Sakura asked.
"I have no idea." Ryu sighed. "I'm in London England, where am I supposed to find a decent Japanese or Chinese girl?"
Syaoran smirked. "Well, we do have a very sexy Japanese girl right there, and an Okay Chinese girl over there."
Mei Lin bore her fangs.
Syaoran laughed. "Those fangs were from your dad."
Mei Lin laughed. "Well duh, my dad was your dads brother."
Ryu sighed. "WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!?!?"
Sakura had a funny idea.
"Make a Chinese add, say your Li Syaoran's brother and tonnes of Chinese women will be up for it."
Syaoran laughed. "I agree with that one."
Ryu laughed. "You two are perfect for each other. Only Sakura and Syaoran can joke at a time like this."
Sakura giggled. "Yup, that's why we're marrying."
"For 3 years." Ryu added.
Sakura shrugged. "Perfect for three years, as they say."
Mei Lin giggled. "Who on earth said that?"
"Me."
And the crew ended up in a fit of laughter.
"Ryu, we'll sort your marriage thing after, right now, me and Sakura gotta catch some z's." Syaoran said before taking Sakura up to bed.
---Sakura & Syaoran---
Sakura sat on the bed with her face down.
"That was mean, leaving Ryu and Mei alone."
Syaoran grinned. "That's the point."
Sakura was searching for Syaoran's voice.
Syaoran sat down and used his finger, placed it on Sakura's chin and made her face him.
"Meaning?" Sakura finally said.
"Meaning, Ryu and Mei would be perfect for each other."
Sakura giggled. "True."
"But Mei don't know it yet, Ryu is head over heels for her. Stupid woman, so damn dense."
Sakura smiled. "True, but she is a sweet girl."
"Sweet as in?"
"Ah, Syao your so mean."
Syaoran smiled. "I love it when you call me Syao."
Sakura grinned. "Then would Shaoran sound okay?"
Syaoran grinned as well. "Shaoran sounds sexy too."
Sakura giggled. "Pet names are for couples."
"Aren't we?"
"Temporarily." Sakura cheekily remarked.
"But for now, let's make it seem for real." Syaoran husked as he pulled Sakura into a tantalizing kiss.
Sakura knew what his kisses were like, for one because of his stupid trick on the plane.
Sakura was awestruck because Syaoran never really, 'kissed' her. Maybe some teasing, here and there, but never for real.
But eventually Sakura gave in and started to kiss back.
For that split second, nothing seemed to matter to either one.
For that split second, both of them wished that they could be there forever.
For that split second, Sakura wished she could see the man she was starting to love…
---Mei Lin & Ryu---
"So…" Ryu started.
Mei Lin sighed. "Married huh? Rough."
Ryu smiled and looked at Mei Lin. "You're a Li, I'm a Ling, aren't the Li's supposed to marry before me?"
Mei Lin smiled. "I promised my mom, Auntie Yelan and Uncle Xenon that I'll marry the one I fall in love with."
Ryu nodded. "Love huh? It's weird."
Mei Lin agreed. "It's love that's making Sakura stay with Syaoran."
Ryu looked at her. "Meaning?"
"Nobody could stand Syaoran, no girl. I figured the only way Sakura could stand him is she's in love with him."
Ryu nodded.
"Another thing about love…" Mei Lin said.
Ryu looked at her with confusion.
Mei Lin smiled. "You can never tell that you are."
Ryu smiled. "True."
"Do you really… you know…love me?" Mei Lin asked, quivering voice.
Ryu's eyes widened. "Up to the time being I was teasing, but I dunno, I think…I'm not sure."
Mei Lin looked at him. "Three months eh? What if I tell you that, I'm kinda willing to be your wife?"
Ryu was in shock. "But I thought you hated me?"
"Annoyed, never hated."
Ryu smiled. "Thanks but no thanks, I intend to marry a woman who loves me."
Mei Lin smiled sadly.
"Really?" she whispered.
Ryu nodded.
"What if I say I love you?" Mei Lin said quietly.
Ryu stared at her…long and hard.
"You…you love me?"
Mei Lin nodded.
Ryu ran his fingers through his hair.
"I don't know."
At this point Mei Lin had tears coming down her eyes.
"I…I need to sleep." Ryu mumbled as he rushed upstairs.
Mei Lin sat on the sofa, crying her eyes out.
'Ryu, why did I have to pretend to hate you? I love you!!! How can I be so damn naïve?!?!?' she thought.
Ryu sat on his bed thinking the same.
'I loved Mei Lin, but now…I'm not sure. Was it Love or was it Lust?'
And in the dead of night, a couple slept in each other's embrace while another couple, only hoping for each other's embrace.
--- 23rd of the Month---
Sakura awoke, hoping to see the colours of day, hoping to see the sweet face of life.
But no such luck.
Sakura awoke, to the darkness that was her dreams of night.
But she felt the strong arm of Syaoran. Hugging her, like it was the only thing left that was worth it.
Sakura smiled as she shook Syaoran awake.
"Hey, Syao wake up."
Syaoran groaned. "Sakura, don't. I love being here."
Sakura blushed. Tomato blush.
"Wake up, I don't know what time it is, but it sure feels late."
Syaoran opened an eye to peek at the time.
A loud curse was heard throughout the Li/Hiiragizawa Mansion.
"What??" Sakura asked as she unplugged her ears.
"It's 3 pm!!"
"WHAT?!??! HOW COULD WE BE ALSEEP FOR THAT LONG?!?!" Sakura shrieked.
"I think because yesterday we were shopping all day with Mei and Ryu. They both seemed sad I wonder why?" Syaoran mumbled.
"I think because two days ago you left them alone. Asshole."
"Harsh." Syaoran mumbled…but then remembered something.
"SHIT!! Sakura you have an appointment with Lela today."
Sakura nodded. "So?"
"IT'S WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT 3:15!!!"
"SHIT!!!" Sakura cursed as she tried to get herself ready.
With much hardship and, well a lot of swearing, Syaoran managed to get himself and Sakura ready.
Mei Lin was out, and Ryu was sulking in the Games room.
---3:30---
"Hello there." Said Dr. Mackenzie.
"Hello." Syaoran said in English.
"So this must be Ms. Kinomoto. You're getting married huh?"
Sakura nodded. "Yes."
"Well, let us begin."
---3:55---
"That's great!!" Syaoran smiled.
Dr. Mackenzie smiled. "I'll call you two sometime tomorrow with her test results. That'll determine if she can operate anytime soon okay?"
The duo nodded and left.
---Car---
"That doc is to perky." Sakura mumbled.
Syaoran laughed. "You'll be perky soon."
"Hopefully."
---Home---
The phone rang just the second the couple walked in.
Mei was home now so she picked up the phone.
"Moyo-chan, what up?"
A few minutes of Mei Lin and Tomoyo talking and it was Sakura on the phone.
"YOU'RE COMING?!?!" Sakura screaming.
"Yea, in two days, me and Eriol will be there."
Sakura grinned. "Awesome see ya!! Oh did you tell anybody?"
"Nope, you're still home free."
"Great."
Sakura hung up and the second she did the phone rang again.
This time Syaoran picked it up.
"Hey Fuutie." He greeted.
"You four are coming? In two days??? That's when Eriol is coming."
A few more words and Syaoran hung up.
"My sis's are coming." He groaned.
Sakura giggled.
"Alright, this should be fun."
But Mei Lin's attitude said otherwise.
'I need to talk with her.' Sakura thought.
'I need to talk with him.' Syaoran thought.
---Next Day---
Sakura sat on the sofa acting lazy when Mei Lin joined her.
"What's up?" Mei Lin asked.
"I should be asking you…"
And Mei Lin told her the whole story…
At the end, Mei Lin was in tears.
"RUDE!!" Sakura shrieked.
Mei Lin nodded. "I can't believe he did that."
"Boys are idiots. I have to keep up with Syaoran and I'm a blind woman."
"But you two are different, Syaoran understands."
"And Ryu will too, just show him you love him and he'll understand."
---Ryu and Syaoran---
"I can't believe you blew her off!!" Syaoran roared.
"I'm not sure if I love her or not."
"Screw you Ryu."
Ryu remained quiet.
"Look, if you look deep in your self, you'll most probably find the answer."
---Afterwards---
The phone rang.
Syaoran picked up.
"Lela here, Sakura's operation is in…"
Syaoran grinned as he heard the good news.
Sakura was listening to music when all of a sudden it was shut off.
"WHAT?!?!" Sakura screamed.
"Good news."
"What?" Sakura asked.
…
---Mei Lin and Ryu---
"I'm sorry for blowing you off that day." Ryu said.
"It was expected." Mei Lin mumbled.
"No I really am…"
Mei Lin shook it off. "I knew it was gonna happen, whenever I'm in love, It's always with the wrong person."
"Are you sure?"
Mei Lin looked at Ryu.
"Mei Lin,' Ryu started. 'I…I love you too." He said.
Mei Lin gasped. "But…you…the other day…you…"
"Yea, I knew I said I wasn't sure. But I'm 250 sure now…I love you."
Mei Lin smiled. "I love you too."
And they shared a sweet kiss.
---Sakura and Syaoran---
"You're operation date is in 5 days."
Sakura shrieked with happiness!! "And your sisters, Tomoyo and Eriol will be here!!"
Syaoran laughed. "Yea."
Sakura jumped up and hugged Syaoran. "This is the happiest day of my life!!"
Syaoran smiled and hugged her back.
'I'll make sure Sakura, that you'll have a lot of happy days when you're married to me, and that Sakura, is a promise.' He thought.
