Author: Yes, it's me again, Sakuraloveu with a new chapter of "Be My Wife". I don't know what happens to these chapters, but they always seem to be shorter than it really is. I mean come on: this chapter's like FIVE pages (including all my blahs, I know that! But still!…cry…)! Anyways, ENJOY!
Announcement:
I made a C2 community! It's named: Wishing upon a shooting star: Card Captor Sakura Central!
I posted one story on to the community already (I'm sure everyone knows the great Fanfiction "Butterflies", written by Shattered Midnight Dreams, by now right? If not, then MAN! YOU are MISSING OUT!), I don't know if it's up there yet, I'll check later.
So as the community manager, I, along with my future staffs, can post any fan favorite Fanfiction onto the community story page. Let me know in reviews which story you'd like me to post on to the community, but beware, the community only allows me to post stories from G to PG-13, so a lot of great R rated stories can't be put up…cry again…
If you want to be a staff member of the community, please let me know okay?
I'm still trying to figure out how this thing works, but please support my community!
Special Thanks goes to:
Faeza: That's okay! I didn't mean to make it sound like I was offended. So chillax!
my-reflection: So read on to Chapter 9 and 10!
Lil Cherry Blossom Angel: Thank you!
Angelicpnaybabee: Well, I'm not sure about the magic stuff yet, but I'll put it into consideration! -Thinking: Hm…maybe I'll add a special twist into the story…-
Chikichiki: And yea! Here's another update!
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, how many times do I have to repeat that?!On with the story……
Chapter Ten: Lesson number three: Don't count on proposing when either Eriol or Tomoyo are alive on the planet.

"So Syaoran, where are we going?" As Syaoran and Sakura walks down the road towards nowhere in particular, Sakura softly sighs and puts her head on to Syaoran's shoulder, her hand in Syaoran's.
I can't believe this is happening! Sakura thought somewhat dreamingly, Syaoran's back, we are walking, alone, and no one's around. Oh this has got to be a dream! Silently squealed in her head, Sakura sighed again and closed her eyes. If this is a dream, please, don't let anyone wake me up yet!
"Um…I don't know, but I do know that I would really like to just continue walking like this for some more." Laying his own head on top of Sakura's, Syaoran forced his mind to be blank, just so that he can enjoy this moment with Sakura. Wow, I'm with Sakura, my Sakura, my sweet Cherry Blossom. I'm the luckiest man alive! Thinking silently, a little smile crept on to Syaoran's face.
(A/N: Big time AW! Aren't they just so born for each other?! Readers: Who needs you to know that?
Without the loving couple knowing, their feet had brought them to a place where many of their memories were shared. "Oh." Opening their eyes, it took both of them a second to realize where they were and breathed out at the same time. Smiling heartily, Sakura looked at the place and back at Syaoran: "I guess old memories do have a way of calling to each other ne?" Chuckling while shaking his head unbelievably, Syaoran sighed: "Yeah, can't argue with that in this position."
(A/N: Can anyone guess where they are at yet? Tee hee…hint: Penguin.)
Looking up at the Penguin slide (A/N:Now can you guess where they are?), Sakura giggled: "Remember when I used the Power card to flip it right side up again? And Yukito saw the picture afterwards?" Couldn't help laughing himself, Syaoran remembered a certain navy-blue haired young man: "And remember when Eriol used those little ones right there to attack us? When Meiling came to visit?" Giggling hard now, Sakura remembered something else:
Flash back----"AH!" Sakura screamed when she fell into the hole that was created since the Penguin slide on top of it, was removed by some magical force. "SAKURA!" Syaoran pounded on to the invisible barrier that was separating Sakura and himself. "SAKURA!" he screamed again.
"Ho-e…sheep, stuffed sheep…so many of them…" The constantly falling stuffed sheep was suffocating Sakura. "So many of them…what to do…" thinking hard, Sakura suddenly remembered a card she can use. "I know! I'll use…"
On the ground, Syaoran was still punching the barrier, trying to get it to unseal so that he can go down and save Sakura. "SAKURA! ANSWER ME! SAKURA!" He yelled again and again, but still no answer from underneath the barrier. "URGH!" frustrated, Syaoran pulled out his sword and tried to slice the barrier, only the sword too, was no use against the powerful magic. Feeling helpless, Syaoran screamed on last time: "SAKURA!!!"………
End of Flash back ----(A/N: Did I get the lines right? I haven't watched the anime in a long time and I kept on getting it mixed up with this other GREAT Fanfiction that Wish-chan wrote. I do suggest the CCS fans read this fanfic. It's EXTREMELY well written, and I'm not even exaggerating, it's just the BEST! Go there and click on New Trails, and oh my god, I don't have the words to describe it! Let's just say this, it was voted the BEST FANFICTION of 2002, need I say more?! )
"Syaoran, were you really worried about me that time?" Upon remembering the memory, Sakura looked at Syaoran half seriously and asked. Looking straight into Sakura's pool of emerald, Syaoran stated sincerely: "Yes I was Sakura, I was really worried. I know I was ten, but Sakura, believe it or not, I liked you, even back then."
Startled by Syaoran's sudden burst of feelings, Sakura was stunned for a moment, and smiled. "I believe you Syaoran. If there's anyone on earth who I would trust the most, it'd be you Syaoran." Taking Syaoran's hand, Sakura led him towards the swings.
Once there, Sakura sat down on one of the swings. Syaoran looked at the swings thoughtfully, and chuckled. "Ho-e?" confused by Syaoran's actions, Sakura couldn't figure out why Syaoran was chuckling.
"It's been eight years Sakura, and this is still your favorite hanging out spot." Stepping behind Sakura's swing, Syaoran gently pushed it.
"Well…I like it here. No one's ever around, except the kids. It's a nice place to…think about things." Feeling the soft wind brush against her skin, Sakura closed her eyes once again and just let herself drown into the atmosphere.
"Think about things? What things?" Apparently interested, Syaoran followed the conversation.
"Well…" a blush slowly appeared on Sakura's face, "mostly…mostly…" gathering up enough courage, Sakura said: "I mostly…mostly think about when my Little Wolf was going to come back to me."
Huh? Let's just say, Syaoran was expecting anything but this. Caught off guard, Syaoran lamely replied: "Oh…re…really?"
"Really." Came Sakura's clear answer. Sakura…feeling guilty now, Syaoran stopped pushing Sakura and lowered his head. "Huh? Syaoran, what's wrong?" Sakura turned around worriedly.
"Sakura…I'm…I'm sorry." Taken aback, Sakura wasn't sure what was going on here. "Sorry? Syaoran, what are you apologizing for?"
Looking back up, Syaoran reached out his hands and cupped Sakura's face. "I'm sorry Sakura, I'm sorry for not returning to you sooner. I think about you every day while I was back in Hong Kong, I dream about you all the time when I slept. You were the only thing on my mind Sakura, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I wanted to Sakura, I really wanted to come back to you sooner, to talk to you like this up close."
Brushing a block of hair out of Sakura's face, Syaoran continued: "I dreamed to be this close to you, I dreamed of having you protected by my arms when you were sad. Sakura, I'm sorry. I really am." Syaoran can feel his heart ach when he thought about those lonely nights he spent thinking about Sakura, why oh why didn't I come back to her sooner?
Hearing Syaoran's confessions, Sakura's eyes are now filled with sorrow. She moved away Syaoran's hands from her face, stood up, and hugged Syaoran, her own arms tightly surrounding Syaoran's waist. Syaoran was a little surprised by Sakura, but quickly hugged Sakura back, pressing her tightly to himself, as if afraid that she would disappear.
Her head leaning onto Syaoran's shoulder, Sakura softly spoke into Syaoran's ears: "Syaoran, do you still remember that day, eight years ago, when I was rejected by Yukito?"
Feeling Syaoran slightly nodding against her hair, Sakura continued. "We came here, to this exact spot, to these exact same swings. I cried Syaoran, I cried in your arms. You lent me your shoulder, it was your shoulder I cried on Syaoran." Tightening her arms around Syaoran, Sakura thought back on that day, eight years ago.
"Did you know Syaoran, how safe I felt in your arms? I felt that no one in the world could've harmed me while I was in your arms, because you were there, you wouldn't have let anyone harm me."
Lifting her head up from Syaoran's shoulder, Sakura looked deeply into Syaoran's eyes: "Syaoran, I know what you must have felt when you went back, because that's exactly how I felt about you. I was afraid of losing you, but I didn't want to be the barrier between you and your family. And Syaoran," Smiling, Sakura tiptoed to kiss Syaoran's eye, "I didn't mind waiting for you. I knew you would come back to me, I trust you. And the longer you wait for someone, the more excited you'll get when you finally meet."
Looking into Sakura's innocent eyes, Syaoran can almost feel his blood inside him boiling. I'm with Sakura, what more do I need? Making up his mind, Syaoran gathered Sakura into his arms once again for a tight hug. Inhaling Sakura's sweet scents, Syaoran calmed his heart and slowly whispered into Sakura's ear: "Sakura?" "Hm?" "Sakura, would you…"
"THERE THEY ARE!" Tomoyo's clear voice—now seems SO incredibly annoying to Syaoran, with good reasons—rang through the quiet park. "Oh!" Sakura pushed away from Syaoran, and greeted her friend with a tomato red face. "Tomoyo…what a…what a nice…drop by." Sakura murmured with a rather forced smile. "Eriol and I have been looking for you two ALL over town!" Tomoyo excitedly cried out.
(A/N: Ah-hahaha…I'm so evil… :P But hey, if I let Syaoran purpose right here and now, then I'll run out of things to write about in later chapters right? I like this story too much to let it end here…)
With a rustle, Eriol—the most hated relative of Syaoran by Syaoran—presented himself from the woods. "Ah, Sakura, and my kawaii little descendent. Tomoyo and I have been looking for you two." Eriol said with a calm voice, entirely "unaware" of the romantic atmosphere that he and Tomoyo had managed to destroy.
"Is that…is that right…" Syaoran chocked out. "Tomoyo, why were you looking for me?" It appears that Sakura's over the awkward embarrassment. "Oh! Right! I was looking for you because I just finished a really nice dress for you to wear on…um…special occasions." Tomoyo meaningfully looked between Sakura and Syaoran, causing both of them to blush again. "Come on, let's go over to my house so you can try it on." Not waiting for an answer, Tomoyo dragged Sakura towards her house.
"Oy, Eriol." Syaoran whispered to Eriol, since they were walking not too far behind the girls. "Yes, my kawaii little descendent?" Eriol looked over to Syaoran, still wearing that "I-know-it-all" smile. I'll let that one pass…thinking about a hundred ways to kill Eriol, Syaoran controlled himself and politely asked: "Just…just how much of that DID you see?" Half smiling half smirking, Eriol returned his gaze to the girls and replied: "Oh, nothing really."
Suspicious, Syaoran stopped and asked again: "Really? Seriously?" Continuing walking, Eriol laughed his "wisdom" laugh (A/N: you know, one of those laughs he always does in the anime when he's talking to Sakura and he knows that Syaoran's watching.) and nodded.
Silently, Eriol thought to himself:
Oh, I really didn't see much Syaoran, but I DID see enough to know why you are here…
