Title: A Sight for Sore Eyes
Summary: Sakura is blind. For her operation, she needs a lot of money. Sakura is desperate now, but she knows she can't do it. One day a man appears he has a deal for Sakura. He will marry her and pay for her operation, only if she bears him an heir. Will she accept? SS
Ages: Sakura: 18----------Syaoran: 21 (On his birthday coming up in this fic)
And Now, for this heartfelt story to begin…---Chapter 14: Wedding Preparations: The Gown and The Tux
Decoration continued. The arch was filled with flowers and now they were being hung around. Syaoran managed to get half the hall with streamers and Sakura threw confetti around to make the hall glittery.
"Half done." Sakura moaned as she rubbed her feet.
That had taken them a few good hours.
"Let's go home, relax and then get Fanran and Fuutie to finish." Tomoyo suggested.
"Nice. 'Sides, tomorrow is dressing day." Eriol said.
So the whole crew agreed and left.
Shoaling left for work.
Syaoran and Xenon went to the Empire.
Sakura and Tomoyo were talking.
Eriol was watching television.
And Fujitaka? He's not doing to well.
---Next Day---
Sakura yawned as she awoke. She sat down on her bed and stared at herself in the dresser mirror.
"Ew I look like a pig." She grumbled as she got up.
She looked around for Syaoran but he wasn't there.
"Damn him." She muttered sleepily as she walked into her bathroom and washed up.
She finally came out, her hair was all tamed and she was wearing white shorts and a baby pink tank top.
"Oh, I remember this… I wore this at the Cherry Blossom fest in Japan the year I went blind…"
---Flash Back---
15-year-old Sakura jumped up and down as she rushed past her mother to gobble down her toast and juice.
School was let out today for the Cherry Blossom festival and Sakura was allowed to go, only if Tomoyo could.
"Calm down Sakura-chan. The fest isn't going anywhere." Nadesiko laughed.
Sakura nodded as she tried to stuff the second half of the toast in her mouth.
Touya had come down with the paper and laughed. "Kaijuu."
Sakura glared at Touya as she finished her juice.
"Bye mom!!" She said as he kissed Nadesiko on the cheek before in-line skating out of there.
On the way Sakura met Hiro.
"Hiro-kun!!" She giggled as she kissed him.
"Hey Sakura-chan."
"Where you headed?" Sakura asked.
"Cherry Blossom festival."
"Same!! We'll make it a date?" Sakura asked.
"Anything for you." Hiro smiled as he held Sakura's hands.
'This is perfect. I have a great boyfriend, an awesome family and just the most perfect life ever.' Sakura thought as she smiled.
At the Park she met Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Hey guys!!" Sakura greeted.
"Hey Hiro!! Sakura!!" Eriol greeted.
Tomoyo and Sakura hugged, and then Sakura took off her skates.
"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING???" Tomoyo asked.
Sakura looked down. She was in her school uniform, big whoop?
"Umm… I'm wearing a dark grey skirt and a white t-shirt?"
Tomoyo shook her head. "You're lucky they have a cloths section here. Let's go get you some festive cloths!!"
Hiro and Eriol laughed as they left the girls to do their shopping.
Tomoyo and Sakura stepped into a clothes tent as Tomoyo picked out a cute pair of white shorts and a pink tank top.
"Gee…thanks." Sakura murmured as she changed into them and Tomoyo paid.
"No problem!! Let's go!!" Tomoyo giggled as the two ran off.
---End---
"This is perfect. I have a great boyfriend, an awesome family and just the most perfect life ever," Sakura repeated, "my ass my life is perfect." She sighed.
Suddenly, she felt warm and familiar arms wrap around her waist and nuzzle his head in her shoulder.
Sakura slightly moved her head towards the face, careful not to disturb him. "Where were you?" She whispered.
"Dad called me. Some looser jacked our bank account and now we're down $10,000."
Sakura gasped. "What??"
Syaoran nodded. "Yea, but I seemed to have remembered that I had a worker who was awfully suspicious. Dad accused him and he broke down."
Sakura giggled. "Does your whole family have a tendency to make people cry?"
Syaoran laughed. "I guess we do."
"SAKURA!! SYAORAN!!! WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!!!" Fanran's voice rung through the mansion.
Syaoran frowned. "Go where?"
"Dress fitting and Tux fitting."
"God I hate weddings." Syaoran moaned.
"Oh really?" Sakura quirked an eyebrow.
Syaoran looked at her and gasped. "Besides ours that is."
Sakura lightly slapped him and giggled. "Hurry, you, Eriol and Xiao Chen are going Tux fitting while Tomoyo, Fanran, Fuutie and I got gown fitting."
Syaoran nodded as he put on jeans. "And Feimiel and Sheifa?"
"They're gonna finish the décor."
Syaoran nodded. He walked up to Sakura and kissed her on the cheeks. "See ya then babe."
"Don't call me…" but by then, Syaoran was gone.
"Babe." Sakura whispered as she left downstairs.
---Downstairs---
Syaoran, Eriol and Shoaling had already left so that left Sakura, Tomoyo, Fanran and Fuutie.
"So, where are we going?" Sakura asked.
"Minako's Gowns. It's a wicked kick ass Japanese gown place." Fuutie giggled as she tied her shoelaces.
Sakura laughed as she slipped on her flip-flops.
And then the 4 left, but not before…
"FANRAN!!!" Came Xenon's voice.
"Yea?" She screamed back as she straightened her shirt.
Xenon gave her a piece of paper.
"Have Fuutie read it after, but only you two." He whispered to her.
Yelan laughed as she saw Sakura stare at her feet.
"Why the worries Sakura?"
"What if I look ugly in all of my dresses? What if I'm so ugly that Syaoran doesn't wanna marry me when he sees me at the alter? What if I'm so ugly that he runs away and elopes with some next girl? What if I'm so ugly that…"
Yelan finally cut her off. "Oh shush. You are not ugly!! You look exactly like your mother, and if I remember correctly, you're mother was a beauty." Yelan smiled.
Sakura giggled. "Thanks." She said as the 4 left.
"Ugly? That girls needs to take a second look at her self." Yelan laughed to herself as she was about to walk off.
Xenon cut her off and held her shoulders roughly. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
Yelan glared at him. "It's not me that need apologizing to. It's Xiao Chen and Sakura. And what's this I hear, you helped Xiao Lang and Sakura with their wedding décor yesterday?"
Xenon sighed. "Listen, it's my only sons wedding. No matter how mad I am right now, I want to help him. I mean I have 4 daughters but when they get married it's not the same as my only son."
Yelan glared at him. "Who said you only had one son?" She asked as she walked away.
Xenon ran his fingers through his hair as he sighed. "Dammit, what did I do to deserve this… oh wait… bad question." He sighed as he left to Syaoran's training room.
---Gown---
Sakura groaned as Tomoyo and Fuutie drowned Sakura in gowns. She had tried on a halter gown, a tight gown, a flowing gown, a shiny gown, a sequin filled gown… and well, lots others.
They had been in the store for so long, they completely lost track of time.
"Ok, re-measurements." Minako, the storeowner sighed.
"Waist… minimum… Breast… minimum…Under breast…minimum… Arms…minimum. My oh my, you are one tiny lady." Minako laughed as Sakura blushed.
"Well, we do have these 5 dresses that might go well, only if you curl your locks." Said Minako as she brought out 5 pairs of dresses.
"Oh dammit." Sakura groaned as Tomoyo, Fuutie and Fanran disappeared into the pile of dresses.
---Tux---
Syaoran groaned as his brother and cousin made him try on SOOO many tuxes.
Blue, green, white, silver, grey, black…and sadly…even pink.
"OH GOD!!!!" Syaoran finally roared.
"What if I get a damn black tux and Sakura has I don't know, an orange dress????"
Xiao Chen and Eriol looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"ORANGE??" Xiao Chen laughed.
"ORANGE?????" Eriol coughed out.
Syaoran glared at them. "With Tomoyo with her, god knows."
That caused the two to laugh even more.
Syaoran sighed. "Can we get this going? If this was an evenly spaced out timed wedding we would have a lot of days for Tux fittings, but since we cut our selves down to two weeks, we need to get this done… TODAY!"
Finally the two stopped laughing.
"So, let's try on some more, and then call the girls to figure out Sakura's dress. Based on her dress colour, we'll pick out the perfect Tux." Eriol suggested.
The brothers nodded as they continued their hunt for Tuxedos.
---Gown---
Sakura stared at the full-length mirror. She was wearing a cream coloured wedding dress that had puffed out sleeves and flared down to her wrists. It had a tight top that had sequins in flower patterns, white coloured sequins. The bottom half of the dress, which was connected to the top half, was flowing. It had a layer of cotton, the VERY bottom layer, then a layer of silk, and then another layer of cotton, and finally the last layer was silk again. And to top that off, it had a mesh layer on top of the whole thing.
The dress included a veil that had a place to hold the tiara that was included.
Sakura walked out in front of her cousin and her 2 sister-in-law-to-be'.
"KAWAII DESU!!!" Fuutie shrieked as she ran up to Sakura and started toying with her dress.
"Do we need to buy our gown today?" Sakura groaned as Fuutie fixed the veil.
Fanran sighed. "Yea. We do only have two weeks for this wedding to be prepared and executed."
"You make it sound like it's a dance show or something." Sakura groaned again.
Tomoyo laughed. "This dress is pretty good."
"Ah no, I am NOT getting married in puffed sleeves."
"But this isn't your only marriage. You are going to divorce Syaoran and get married again." Fuutie pointed out.
Sakura countered. "Yea, but this is the only time my dad gets to see me married to some guys he approves to. Otou-san did approve Syaoran. So, I want to make my self presentable in front of my dad, since this is the only time he sees me married."
Fanran sighed. "She has a point. Ok, Sakura try on the blue dress."
Sakura pretended to gag as she changed.
---Tux---
Syaoran changed into a white tux. Not much to describe except it had black buttons, a front pocket and it as a bow-tie, not a tie.
"I'm not 11." Syaoran moaned as Eriol checked it out.
"So? A bow-tie is cute." Xiao Chen said in a girl imitation voice.
"Say that again and you die." Syaoran growled.
"Not bad, but I say you try on those 3 tuxes before we call Sakura." Eriol said.
Syaoran sighed as he changed into a red tux now. "RED??" He roared from the dressing room.
"SO WHAT IF SAKURA GETS A RED DRESS?" Eriol yelled back.
"DOUBT IT!! SHE HAS BETTER TASTE THAN YOUR GIRL!!"
"WHY YOU…" Eriol growled.
Shoaling was on the floor laughing.
---Gown---
Sakura was dead tired now. They spent the last 6 hours in Minako's Gown shop.
"Aren't here anymore wedding gown places??" Sakura hissed as she tried to take of the veil from the last gown she wore.
"Not for a couple hundred miles. And I highly doubt we'd wanna go that far." Fuutie mumbled as she looked at some dresses.
They all stopped when they heard Tomoyo scream.
"GOT IT!! PERFECT DRESS!!!" Tomoyo shrieked.
Sakura ran out in her tank top and half buttoned pants.
"Remind me why Tomoyo isn't making my dress?" She asked as she walked up to Fanran, Fuutie and Tomoyo.
"Because, we need her, we only have a couple more days left before the wedding. I mean, two weeks, we've already wasted 3 days including today. And tomorrow we're going back to Clow Hall so that's already 4 days gone." Fanran said.
"I swear, when it's her wedding, every thing is going to be planned before we even start talking about it." Sakura muttered as she tried to get a glimpse of the dress Tomoyo had.
Minako grinned as the rest laughed. "This is our finest quality dress. It's quite expensive…"
"No matter." Fuutie said curtly.
"It's Silk mainly with soft velvet, we even have the shawl."
Sakura was adorned by the dress. It was a two-piece. The top went up to her belly button. It has low V-cut with long flared sleeves. It had diamond imitations coming up from the fingers of the top to the shoulders. The bottom was a long skirt. It was flared and had a slit running up to her knees.
The top had a little loop on both shoulders for the shawl to attach to. The entire dress was baby pink.
Sakura ran quickly to try the dress on.
She walked out, with the veil, tiara and the shawl attached.
Fanran literally fainted at the sight.
Fuutie laughed as Fanran jumped back up. "If Fanran faints, than god knows Syaoran's reaction."
Sakura blushed. "You really think it's good?"
Tomoyo grinned. "Hells ya babe!! I mean, we've practically tried out EVERY dress in this place, this is perfect!!"
Sakura stared at her self in the full-length mirror. 'This is pretty nice.' She thought.
---Tux---
Syaoran was wearing a black tux... with a TIE this time. NOT A BOW-TIE!! The tux was...Normal yes I guess. You technically can't explain tuxes.
He had matching shoes though!!
"This is good. All the other black ones I wore were either stained or to small." Syaoran groaned.
"Why do you need a new tux?? You're the damn prince of China, shouldn't you have enough?" Xiao Chen asked.
Eriol laughed. "It's his wedding, it's expected he gets a new one. But Syaoran, don't bring your hopes up. Your tux has to match Sakura's dress."
Syaoran's face fell. "Dammit. Can we call her now?"
Eriol laughed. "Yea." So he dialled Sakura's cell.
---Gown---
Sakura was still looking at her self. Exactly 10 minutes now until her cell rang. Luckily, Tomoyo had her purse.
"Eriol? Yea, yea you chose a tux?? Awesome!! What colour type and style??"
Eriol replied.
"Niiiiice. Sakura's dress colour? Baby pink. Black would look really nice with it."
Eriol replied.
"So you buy that and we'll take this. Deal?"
Eriol replied.
"Ok, bye love you."
Tomoyo hung up.
"Eriol bought the tux, it's black, so baby pink will be nice with it." Tomoyo said.
Sakura laughed. "So we get?"
Fanran smiled. "We get."
So they bought the dress as the guys bought the tux.
---Home---
Sakura and the girls walked in exactly when the boys walked in.
"Let's see your dress!!!" Syaoran laughed.
Sakura snorted. "As if…"
"Wait, when are we getting our bridesmaid, and best man's?" Tomoyo asked.
"Easy, the guys already have tuxes, they'll wear them, and since we're doing guest list and wedding card's tomorrow, Sakura and Syaoran will do that, so we'll go bridesmaid and other dress shopping for us tomorrow." Fanran answered.
"She does have it all planned out." Sakura grumbled.
That caused a bunch of laughter to erupt.
"So, you guys can head down to Clow Hall, I have to talk to Fuutie." Fanran said.
Sakura smiled as she and Tomoyo put her gown in Tomoyo's room, no peeking Syaoran, and Syaoran stuffed his tux in his closet.
Xiao Chen, Eriol, Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo headed towards Clow hall.
---Fanran and Fuutie---
"Fuutie read this. Dad gave it to me." Fanran said.
Fuutie took the note and read it, it said:
Pick a good dress for her. She will be my daughter-in-law… not only since I keep forgetting about Xiao Chen, 21 years, it's been a long time. So pick a good dress for her and make sure she looks stunning, enough that Syaoran stares and well… faints like how I did at my wedding. Please don't ask why.
I want to apologize to Xiao Chen and Sakura, but I don't know how, can you 4 girls help me?
-Dad
"4? Does he mean Sheifa and Feimiel too?" Fuutie asked.
Fanran nodded. "So should we?"
"I guess, if Dad's asking us, than how can we say no?"
Fanran shrugged. "I guess you're right."
Suddenly, they heard the door crash open.
Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol and Xiao Chen were soaking wet.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE WAS A FRIGGIN' THUNDER STORM AND WE DIDN'T KNOW!!!" Xiao Chen roared.
Wei, Fuutie, Fanran, Yelan, Xenon, and Sakura and Syaoran's personal maid, Kitty rushed to see what happened.
"What…happened?" Fuutie tried to suppress a giggle.
"We go there, Feimiel and Sheifa kick us out because the 'bride' and 'groom' don't come until tomorrow, when the décor is finally over." Sakura grunted as she sat down, on the floor.
"We walk back out to find the limo gone. I call, my phone dies. Xiao Chen's phone has no batteries and somehow, Sakura's phone and Tomoyo's were left at home and Eriol's phone was in the limo." Syaoran grunted as he helped Sakura up and they sat down on the couch, they're arses soaking the sofa.
"We walk to the nearest payphone, since Feimiel suggested that because neither her nor Sheifa's phones were working then, and Clow Hall and disconnected their phones because of us decorating it." Eriol said.
"We go to the payphone, and managed to fit all of us in a booth when, just our luck, we have no change on us." Tomoyo wailed.
"We go back to the hall, when the flipping thunder storm begins. We walk to the entrance in time to find the limo coming back. It was making a damn round." Xiao Chen finished.
The rest stared at the soaking team and burst out laughing.
"NOT FUNNY!! It's late and we want sleep. Let's go Sakura." Syaoran said as them two left.
The others stared at them. "Not really late, it's just 9." Xiao Chen said.
"They're more stressed after Fanran, it's their wedding after all, and I don't blame them." Fuutie said.
"Wait, if Sheifa and Feimiel's phones aren't working… how do they get home?" Yelan asked.
Fanran and Fuutie look at each other. "SHIT!!" They screamed as they left to get their sisters.
The others left to dry.
---Sakura and Syaoran---
Sakura changed into homely cloths. A pair of grey sweats and a baggy blue t-shirt. She blow dried her hair and put a small clip in it.
Syaoran was wearing red boxers and a white tank top. He rubbed a towel against his hair to kinda dry it up.
They both laid in bed and stared at the ceiling.
"How many kids do you want?" Sakura finally asked.
Syaoran shrugged. "Depends. How many times do you want to do it?"
Sakura lightly kicked him from under the covers. "Hentai."
Syaoran snorted. "As if. If I was a hentai, then I would have done this."
And Syaoran some how managed to pinch Sakura's waist.
Now Sakura REALLY gave it to him.
"Ouch woman…" Syaoran said as he rubbed his arm.
Sakura giggled. "So how many?"
"Two." Syaoran said as he wrapped his arm around Sakura's waist and pulled her closer.
"Two?" Sakura inquired.
Syaoran sadly smiled. "Because when our time is up, you leave with one…and I stay with one."
Sakura stared into his eyes and both remained like that for a very long time until finally Syaoran kissed her temple and smiled.
"Night Sakura."
Sakura sighed. "Night Syao-kun."
And they both fell asleep in each other's embrace.
(Nothing happened yet… LOL!!!)
---Morning---
Sakura woke up again to find Syaoran gone.
"Aw fuck this." She murmured as she took a shower, got dressed and left downstairs.
There she saw the ENTIRE crew sitting with their shoes on and waiting for Sakura.
Sakura quirked an eyebrow.
"Sup?" She asked.
Fuutie looked at her. "Thank god you're awake!! Syaoran left with Dad to the corp but we just got a very bad phone call."
Sakura looked at her. "What happened?"
Sheifa burst into tears. "THE FLOWERS DIED!!! ALL OF THEM!!!"
Sakura's eyes widened. "NO!! LET'S GO!!"
Sakura stuffed toast in her mouth before leaving to Clow Hall.
---Tomoeda Japan---
Fujitaka sat on his hospital bed, counting… thinking…remembering.
He sighed. 'Sakura… my baby girl is getting married.' He thought.
Touya walked in to find his father lost in his thought.
"Dad?" he said.
Fujitaka looked at Touya, as tears spilled out of Fujitaka's eyes.
Touya rushed over to his dad. "What's up dad?" he asked tenderly.
"I don't have much time Touya. Promise me when I'm gone, you'll take care of your sister and mother."
"Don't talk like…"
Fujitaka cut him off. "Please, don't say something that isn't true Touya. Just promise me…"
Touya nodded sadly. "I promise." He whispered.
Fujitaka smiled sadly. "Good, now I need sleep. Night Touya."
"Night dad." Touya whispered as he watched his father fall into deep slumber.
So… did you like THIS chapter of wedding prep??
I KILLED THE FLOWERS!! NOOOOOO!!!! Well, the crew will replace them… eventually!! So 4 days gone… 10 to go…
