Now THIS IS Gone with your Eyes chappie 8!
Looking at the letter Sakura immediately knew it was an engagement party invitation. It said it on the back Engagement. How subtle... Sakura walked in her apartment.
"Have a good night Ms. Kinomoto." said the man who takes Sakura's bags and leaves it at Sakura's house.
"Yes, thank you."
Sakura
I began to open the letter. I read,
To Miss Sakura Kinomoto,
We are inviting you to our engagement party set on August 3 at 4:00 in the Pyung Hyang Hotel Restaurant.
Syaoran and I hope you will be with us in a memorable evening.
From, Melinda Kinomoto and Syaoran Li
How wonderful going to a engagement party (sarcastically). Pyung Hyang Hotel Restaurant is at Hong Kong? So Melinda
and Hitomi came to Hong Kong? Figures Li's whole family is here. The engagement party is 2 days from now. What the
heck I'll just put on some dress and make up and go.
Well time to go to sleep...
The next afternoon.
"What? You're actually going to Melinda and Syaoran's engagement ceremony?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yea I have to, the whole family has to be there." Sakura said.
"Oh really? So if they are family why haven't they visited you even when they were in Hong Kong?" Tomoyo said.
"I don't care its good for me and them anyways not to see each other." Sakura said.
"Still Melinda seems to be shoving in your face that she's engaged." Tomoyo exclaims.
"So? She's been doing that ever since Syaoran accepted her proposal."
"What? You mean Syaoran didn't propose to her?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yea."
"But why would she say 'Syaoran proposed to me'?" Tomoyo asked.
"Because she's a fucked up bitch." Sakura said without any expressions on her face.
"Well since your going... Guess I should go too." Tomoyo said as she held up an invitation card.
"I guess it won't be that bad since your coming." Sakura said.
"Anyways it IS a party so..." Tomoyo said.
"Your going to go all crazy today with clothes aren't you?" Sakura said.
"Of course anyways the engagement party is tomorrow."
"Yea..." Sakura felt a big lump at her throat. Tears almost fell on her cheek. When it did she quickly dried her tears when
Tomoyo wasn't looking.
"How about this one?" Tomoyo said as she held up a dress that was dark purple, sleeveless, and had a light lavender
material covering part of her dress.
"Nope."
"How about this?"
"Nah.
"This?" Tomoyo held up a pink hanky dress with a cherry blossom flower on the strap.
"It shows a little cleavage, but its ok." Sakura said, "I'll take it it's beautiful."
"Yes. Finally." Tomoyo said.
Sakura picked out a Royal blue dress with spaghetti straps for Tomoyo.
"It's a bit plain." Tomoyo said.
"Yea, Hey I like this one." Sakura held up a midnight blue dress that was made out of satin.
"Me like." Tomoyo said
"No duh you made it." Sakura said.
"He he."
The two girls were out in the mall getting presents for the engagement party. Sakura got flowers and a red dress for Melinda. Also Sakura got a neck tie and shoes for Syaoran.
Tomoyo got something similar to Sakura except her dress for Melinda was yellow. And she got Syaoran a dress shirt.
"There simple, expensive, nice." Sakura said
"Yes the three words for happiness." Tomoyo said.
"You mean pleasing someone's eye."
"Yea that too." Tomoyo said as she laughed along with Sakura.
Sakura
It was a long day for me. Dress picking, shoe shopping... I laid across the bed thinking that it'll be ok...
The next day 3:30
"Sakura come on we're going to be late." Tomoyo said.
"Ok I'm here." Sakura huffed and puffed as she went into the Limo.
The drive to the hotel was 20 minutes long.
"OH geez its packed here." Sakura said as she looked at the parking lot.
"We could've had a spot if you came a little faster." Tomoyo said.
Sakura stuck her tongue out at Tomoyo.
As soon as they found a spot. They both fast walked to the party left the gifts in the gift pile.
"There's Melinda." Sakura thought.
She walked towards them. Melinda was busy talking and talking to her soon to be sister in laws.
"Hey." Sakura said, "Long time no see."
"Sakura!" Melinda said with a big fake smile, "Nice to see you Everyone this is my sister Sakura Kinomoto."
Narrator
Sakura saw her... Right there coming towards her.
"Sakura!" Hitomi said, "I'm glad that I finally meet you after all these years."
"Yes and I you." Sakura said.
Melinda gasped, "Sakura when Syaoran and I get married I want you to be to maid of honor."
"Really?" Sakura said with no smile on her face.
"Yes you would be perfect for it." Melinda said.
"Perfect my ass." Sakura thought.
"Yes darling I think it does suit her." a voice was heard. It sounded familiar to Sakura. She turned around.
There was a man standing. Brown messy hair, and amber eyes. Those striking eyes that pierces into Sakura's heart. She felt as she was disappearing... She was gone in his eyes...
Melinda said, "Yes honey."
"Honey?" Sakura thought.
One of the sisters of Syaoran Li asked, "Don't you look alot like Cherry Blossom?"
"Ye..." Sakura was about to say yes
Melinda interrupted, "Doesn't she? You know she could be a twin."
"Yea I know."
"Well isn't it wonderful."
Sakura
The sisters and Melinda seems to be getting along. All chattering amongst themselves. They didn't seem to even think that Sakura might be Cherry Blossom. I bet they just can't imagine something like me can be successful at all. A moment later I excuse myself to get away from all the airheads...
"You really wasn't what I expected to be." Syaoran said.
I turned around, "What do you mean?"
"Well Melinda always described you as a bratty sister who clings to her family for money." Syaoran said.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"I don't know I just had a sudden urge to tell the truth." Syaoran said.
The truth... I bet he would want to know the truth.
"You know I am another person" I said.
"Really?"
"I..." I wanted to say I was Cherry Blossom, but I stopped myself, "I am another person in a way, since part of me loves my
sister and my mom, but in a way I hate them."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I don't know even why I'm even telling you this." I said, "I never really said I hated my family once to
someone I don't really know."
"I understand." Syaoran said, "Hey now I met my future sister in law I wonder if I could get to know her as well."
"?" I was puzzled.
"I wonder if you and I can go ice skiing."
Oh now I thought he wanted to get to know me know me. Ice skiing, a friendly date.
"Sure, wouldn't Melinda want to come?"
"I would ask her but she hates ice skiing," Syaoran said, "In matter of fact I'm the only one in the family that likes it."
"How do you know I like it?" I asked.
"You just said yes." Syaoran grinned.
I started to laugh because I didn't know what more to say. Syaoran started to chuckle and started laughing too. Our voices
together sounded wonderful...
"Hmm, what's so funny?" a voice said.
Its Melinda...
"Oh nothing, Syaoran here was telling practical jokes." I said.
"Yes I know Syaoran can be so humorous." Melinda said as she clutched Syaoran's arm.
You know the first thing I noticed when I saw Melinda was her hair. She dyed it blonde. Bright blonde. It suits her because
she acts like one most of the time...
"Well I have to go now you two enjoy yourselves." Melinda said.
As soon as she walked out off the balcony Syaoran said, "I'll pick you up at 3:00 clock tomorrow. Is that ok with you?"
"Sure." I gave him my address. "I'll wait outside no need to come in."
"Ok." Syaoran stated.
LLLLLL
LLLLLL
The day sure went by fast... At 9:00 everyone started to leave for home. Tomoyo and I both plopped ourselves into the
Limo, and the driver drove as soon as we closed the door.
Narrator
"Did you have fun?" Tomoyo asked.
"Oh very." Sakura said.
"Yea I had so much fun when Melinda started to tell me about 'the time Syaoran and I fell in love.'" Tomoyo said.
"Hahahahahaha" Sakura laughed, "What fun!"
"Yea."
"You know I have a date with someone tomorrow." Sakura said.
"Who, when, where?"
"With Syaoran but a friendly date."
"Really?" Tomoyo asked as she raised one of her eyebrows.
"Seriously!" Sakura said.
"Well have fun on your friendly date with your soon to be brother in law." Tomoyo said, "Hey the Limo stopped we must be
at your home."
"kkk bye Tomoyo! "
I walked inside my home. As soon as I washed my hair and took off my makeup. All the things to do to be clean and comfortable. I couldn't go to sleep so I poured myself a glass full of Red Wine. It was a little bitter tasting, but enough to get me sleepy. As I drank my wine I thought of Syaoran and wondered how tomorrow will go...
It was 11:30 when I last saw my clock and fell fast asleep...
LLLLLLL
I woke up and turned to see it was 12:00 at noon. Oh my gosh I overslept. Still I have a few hours till Syaoran picks me up. I walked to the bathroom with a big yawn. When I looked at the mirror there I was. Red eyes that matched with the red wine I drank yesterday. My auburn hair drooping loosely on my shoulders.
What shall I do with my hair? I decided to curl them. Not wavy I mean curly curly. Curly enough for my hair not to reach my shoulders. No I don't mean like an afro... Tomoyo had beautiful long black hair. Except she cut it in layers, and the longest strand of hair barely reaches chin. My guess is that she wanted something new.
Every single one of my hair is like my minutes. I sound like if I'm talking about my cell phone. I meant my life minutes. Each minute different from the last... There all done. I spent 30 minutes on my hair. Then I unbuttoned my pajamas and put on a light green shirt with white jeans. Simple...
I put on my eyeliner, white eye shadow, lip gloss and some blush...
When I finished everything it was 2:00. Until I realized I don't know how to ice ski... I don't even have a ski outfit. Wait maybe I do... I have so many clothes since Tomoyo makes so much clothing for me. I can't seem to keep track on what I have.
I looked through my drawers, closet and everything. There I found it my ski outfit. Now how am I going to teach myself skiing. I'm going to make a fool out of myself! Too late now... I guess I'll have to tell him the truth...
1 hour seemed to go pretty fast. I hurried downstairs, and saw Syaoran waiting for me in his black convertible.
"Ready to go?" Syaoran said.
"Yea, I said weakly." I said.
The drive was a bit quiet until Syaoran told me alittle about his childhood. When we parked in a parking space I finally told him.
"Syaoran I can't ski." I said.
"Really? Then I'm going to have to teach you." Syaoran said, "Just keep an open mind."
"Aren't you annoyed about it?" I asked.
"What for?"
"Because I agreed to come here even though I don't even know how to ski." I said.
Syaoran laughed, "Don't worry Sakura I'm not annoyed, I'm just glad you agreed to come here in the first place."
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Seriously."
LLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLl LLLLL
"Ok keep your legs still, don't wobble." Syaoran instructed.
"Yea..."
"Keep going Sakura you're doing great!"
"I'm doing it!" I yelled.
"You're skiing!" Syaoran yelled back.
Sakura Flash back...
"You know Sakura sometimes you really can be different people." Tomoyo said
"Huh?"
"I mean dress up a little bit and you'll be like a model." Tomoyo said.
"You mean I'm plain?" Sakura asked.
"A bit you look pretty when your plain, but when a person looks at the plain you and voila you it's surprising." Tomoyo said.
End of Flash back.
Narrator
Sakura saw Syaoran skiing through the snow. It seemed if an angel was falling from the sky, because he was coming down so fast...
"I think I had enough for the day." Sakura said.
"I booked a 2 rooms at a hotel." Syaoran said.
"We're staying here more than one day?" Sakura asked.
"Do you want to go home? Because I'll drive you home if you want to." Syaoran said.
"Oh no, I was just surprised that I had to fret about going home a minute too soon" Sakura said.
"Haha I hope you would say that."
Sakura smiled as she thought if Syaoran and her might have been meant to be...
LLLLLLLLLLLLL
Sakura went in her hotel room. It was nice compared to the other hotels she's been too...
Knock knock knock
Who would knock at this hour? Sakura thought.
"Coming!" Sakura said, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Syaoran said.
She opened the door and Syaoran was standing there.
"Syaoran your drunk!" Sakura said.
"Just a little." Syaoran said, "I only had few cans of beer."
Sakura began to back away. This was a side of Syaoran she had never seen before.
"Don't worry I won't rape you." Syaoran said, "I just needed to talk to someone."
Sakura saw through his eyes. His eyes told her the truth.
"Come in." Sakura said, "But make a move and I don't show mercy."
"Thanks." Syaoran said. Syaoran sat back on the sofa as Sakura sat on the other side.
"So what is it you want to talk about?" Sakura asked.
"I love Melinda." Syaoran said.
"Yes I know that..." Sakura said as he heart was starting to be pressed on.
"But..."
"But what?"
"I only have one True love..." Syaoran said.
"Who Melinda?" Sakura asked.
"No."
"I don't get it." Sakura said.
"There this girl I knew briefly." Syaoran said, "Yet she moved my heart."
"She was so beautiful..." Syaoran said, "Kinda looks like you."
"She had a good heart." Syaoran said, "After all these years I still haven't forgotten about her."
"Who is the girl?" Sakura asked.
"I know I shouldn't be saying this espeicially since your Mel's sister." Syaoran said, "Including I'm going to be married soon..."
"Who is the girl Syaoran?" Sakura asked again.
"Her name is Ying Fa Liu." Syaoran said.
"Syaoran I..." Sakura said, "I'm Ying Fa Liu..."
Syaoran chuckled and was about to say something and his eyes rolled back of his head, and he collapsed.
"Few beers my ass." Sakura said.
The next morning.
Sakura
He's not going to remember anything after all that drinking. On the sofa I hear Syaoran waking up.
Syaoran was groaning since he had such a hangover.
"Sakura what happened?" Syaoran asked.
"You don't remember anything?"
"No..." Syaoran said and he suddenly realized, "What are you doing in my room?"
"You mean MY room." Sakura said.
"What?" Syaoran said as he looked around the hotel room.
"You got drunk."
"Did I do anything?... You know..." Syaoran said looking worried.
"No, nothing we were talking about how this wedding is affecting you." Sakura said.
"What did I say?" Syaoran asked.
"You said this wedding is changing you and making you more responsible." Sakura lied.
"Oh, ok good so nothing happened between us right?"
"Yes."
"You sure?"
"YES!"
"Thank goodness..."
"Well I think you should go back." Sakura said.
"Yea as soon as this headache goes away I'll ski with you." Syaoran said.
"From the way you look I think we're going to have to push skiing for another day." Sakura said
"What are you going to do?" Syaoran asked.
"Go shopping ski my myself, etc etc etc."
"I feel really bad."
"Don't be you paid for my hotel room for a week, I think this is the least I can do." Sakura said.
(smirk), "Well I'll be off." Syaoran said.
"Ok bye."
"See you later."
As the door shut the room felt so empty without him. "What am I thinking? He's going to get married, he's freakin' engaged! Still the words he said yesterday still haunts me. It's probably some drunk babble. Syaoran probably didn't know what he was saying. If he does love Ying Fa, it's no use to me. He loves the false me. A lie, a fraud..." Sakura said to herself
Yet he still manage to stab my heart without hurting me...
"Did you say something Sakura?" a voice said.
XxQuietSecretxX: Well that is it!
The next Chapter...
Will Sakura ever tell Syaoran who she really is? Will Syaoran admit he loves Ying Fa when he's sober?
