Disclaimer: None of this is mine, except the plot, and since people seems to like it I feel ok with it.
A/N: Six chapter is up! I wanted to update sooner, but my house is a bit of a mess right now, so I couldn't really concentrate in this story... Also school is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. So I had to wait until today to update... Anyway, Sakura is finally talking to someone and regaining her senses, I mean how could she think even for a second to reject Syaoran? He's so perfect for me- ahem -for her! Oh and again anyone knows what happened to that cursed Libra Card? Read and enjoy, and also read my other story: Sakura's Memories!
Chapter Six: Past and Present
---Normal POV---
Sakura had remained silent for some time, until suddenly she reached her mother picture. Fujitaka looked at her and then at her daughter. They were both so beautiful. Sakura was very much like her mother. Maybe more than she knew. He debated with himself before speaking.
"Your mother almost did the same thing, you know?"
Sakura looked at him in disbelief. Her father had told her many times how much they loved each other and how much her mother loved her and her brother. Why would her mother doubt to marry him?
Fujitaka smiled at her, seeing the incredulous look in her face.
"You know her family didn't like me, and they never really accepted the fact that she wanted to marry me. So they tried to stop her. It was really difficult for her to ignore the wishes of her family, but she did. And not even once during our life together she regretted it."
He stopped for a moment and took the portrait from her.
"She told me once that no matter how hard it had been to do it, because she knew how much pain she was causing them, she wouldn't had done anything different. Because she was happy. And in her heart she believed that that's what they wanted for her."
Sakura looked at him, his words sinking in her heart. At last she gave her father a tiny smile, and hugged him. She was suddenly feeling foolish. How could she have even considered leaving Syaoran behind? She had to talk to him. But before she had to do something else.
She ran to her bedroom and her father looked at her smiling. She will be just fine.
-----Four months before...
"Sakura-chan? Why did you wanted to talk to me?"
Mei Lin looked at her friend with curiosity. They had been friends for a long time now and she couldn't understand why she was suddenly so shy. It was like when they became friends and Sakura had invited her to her house after she had fought with Syaoran.
"Mmh... Mei Lin, I ah..."
"Why are you acting like a little girl?" she laugh at her, "we'll be family soon, you know?"
Sakura became a bright shade of red, but managed to talk.
"Umm, well yeah, about that... I know it was some time ago, but I know just how much you care about Syaoran and... well I..."
Mei Lin stared at her finally understanding what she wanted to say and smiled. Sakura looked so surprised that she couldn't help to laugh.
"You want to know if I'm okay with it?" Mei Lin was barely able to ask, but then she saw the serious look on her face and sighed. "Of course I care about him, he's my cousin after all"
"But Mei-" Sakura was cut off immediately.
"Don't" Sakura looked at her a bit worried, but she was smiling "I got over it a long time ago, and besides I like you, you make him smile in a way no one has ever been able to. So I want you to be happy, both of you" At that point her smile widened "After all, Tomoyo and I didn't play matchmakers for nothing, did we?"...
-----Present Day
Sakura dialed her best friend's number from her cell phone and smiled.
"No, you didn't Mei Lin..."
