Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura...CLAMP does...

Last time...

Sakura started to tremble, staring at the boy in front of her. 'I can't...I can't hurt Syaoran...stop! I have to stop!' her mind fought. But her grip loosened and the arrow shot out. Sakura's eyes turned normal again, but they were blinded by the searing light of the arrow.

"Syaoran!" her voice echoed through her mind, the Sakura blossoms, blowing away. She covered her eyes, as tears welled in them. Did she hit him? She prayed to God that she missed. The flash of light dimmed. And she reopened her crystal wet eyes...

Chapter Tweny-Three: Confessions

By: Ame-chan

There was another flash of magic in front of the crying girl again as she opened her eyes. It flared like the blaze of the sun. Sakura had to put her arm in front of her eyes to shield them from the blinding light.

When the flash subsided, her arrow had struck the tree beside the unconscious Syaoran. The tired girl looked with half lidded emerald eyes, a woman and a girl the same age as her was with the woman. That girl had piercing ruby eyes.

"Syaoran! Oh my god! Who would do this to you?" the ruby orbed girl cried, running towards Syaoran. Sakura's eyes glimmered and then she fainted.

"Syaoran!" the girl cried again, trying to hold him in her arms.

"Don't worry Meilin, he'll be fine." Yelan spoke softly, glancing at her son. Her gaze switched to Sakura, who just fainted and frowned. 'How did something like a little bit of dark magic possess her so easily.' She thought, watching as left over tears formed in Sakura's eyes.

Meilin got up and glared at the poor auburn haired girl on the grass with pure hatred, and pointed at her.

"She did it! She was the bitch who made Syaoran like this!" Meiling whined, trying to get Yelan's attention. Yelan gave her an icy glare.

"Watch your language Meilin! This girl is probably the nicest girl I ever met." Yelan replied. Meiling scowled.

"If she was nice, then why did she try to hurt Syaoran then?" Meilin retorted, not really directing it to the frowning woman beside her.

"I don't think she tried to Meilin. I'm thinking more like she was possessed." was Yelan's soft reply, still looking at the exhausted girl laying on the grass.

LaTeR...

Sakura groaned. She had a major head ache and was also very tired. She turned to her side to seek for more sleep, but found none. Sakura groaned again. She forced herself to sit up and walk down the hall, still sort of half asleep.

As she passed by Syaoran's door, she over heard some talking. She was wide awake almost immediately and decided to listen, even though she really hated eavesdrop. Somehow, now it doesn't seem so wrong.

"I'm sorry Syaoran, but Meilin says she really loves you. Maybe you should considering marrying her instead. After all, you said you would never find the girl you loved." a melodic voice flowed through the small crack left open of the door.

'Say no!' Sakura thought, chewing her bottom lip anxiously.

"Please Syaoran? I really love you!" came a another voice. It sounded a lot like the girl from before...the arrow! What happened to Syaoran? Sakura's heart thumped hard against her chest. She'd have to apologize later today for trying to kill him...even thought she never really wanted to.

"Sakura?" a voice asked from behind her. Sakura whished around to see where the voice came from. It was Eriol who just came out of his own room.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Sakura shook her head.

"I-I was just coming out of my room." Sakura replied, putting her hands behind her back and looking down. Eriol noticed that she was feeling uncomfortable.

"What's wrong now? You look nervous." the blue haired teen replied, taking a closer look at Sakura. She sighed and shook her head no.

"Okay, if you say so..." Eriol replied unconvinced and walked away. Sakura sighed in relief and turned back to listen some more but Syaoran had opened the door. Sakura froze.

"Sakura?" the boy asked. Sakura smiled nervously.

"Hi?" she responded, a sweatdrop forming on her head.

"Are you alright? When you fought that thing, you seemed possessed. That's what my mom said." Syaoran replied. Sakura looked down guiltily.

"I'm sorry Syaoran. I didn't want to shoot that arrow at you. I won't do it again, I promise, please forgive me." Sakura whispered staring at the wood floor.

Syaoran was surprised by Sakura's apology. But he smiled anyways and led her inside. Sakura sniffed and wiped her eyes as she felt tears form up again.

"It's you!" the ruby orbed girl stood up and pointed a finger at her. Sakura jumped back into Syaoran's arms by the sudden outburst.

"Meilin calm down." Yelan scolded. But she put a smile on as she looked at Sakura. "Hello Sakura dear, how are you feeling?"

Sakura blushed, as she felt that Syaoran was still holding onto her.

"Ano, I'm feeling fine. But Syaoran...I shot that arrow...I'm sorry." she apologized again while she twiddled with her thumbs. "I didn't mean it, honestly." she whispered.

Meilin got up again. "Right! We really believe you. I know you're lying. Why would you do it if you didn't want to do it?" she retorted, glaring at Sakura with her intense ruby pools.

"Meilin, she didn't do it purposely. She was possessed. She couldn't help it." Syaoran reasoned, letting Sakura sit beside him."

"But Syaoran isn't hurt is he?" Sakura asked, looking at Syaoran's amber orbs with worry.

"Don't worry, nothing happened to him. I blew the arrow away from him in time. That arrow was pretty powerful. It took a lot of my magic to move it." Yelan replied raising a brow.

"Sorry." Sakura apologized AGAIN. Syaoran chuckled.

"It's not your fault. Stop saying that." he looked deeply into her eyes. Sakura blushed. "I...okay." she looked away.

Yelan grinned. 'Sakura would do better for Syaoran. She has magic, and it seems that my dear son Xiao Lang has fallen for her.' she thought so she decided to speak up.

"Actually Xiao Lang, do you think Mistress Sakura would agree to marry you? You always have that soft glint in your eyes whenever you speak or look at her. Perhaps you have fallen for her?" She looked at the couple sitting together, smirking.

Sakura blushed a deeper red and Syaoran did the same. Meilin frowned.

"How about me? I thought I was engaged with him. Maybe that bit- I mean girl doesn't love him back?" she complained.

"Let's ask Mistress Sakura." Yelan smirked. Everybody looked at Sakura with curious eyes. Even Syaoran wanted to know. She blushed and smiled.

"I think I do. I've always had this feeling whenever I'm with him..." Sakura trailed off. She looked at Syaoran and he was smiling at her and his eyes showed happiness. He gave her a hug.

"I love you too." he whispered. Sakura's eyes widened with shock. And all this time she thought that Syaoran would hate her after all that she had done not too long ago.

They broke their hug and stared at Meilin who wasn't too happy right now.

"But I love him too!" she protested. Yelan looked at her with and icy glare.

"I think not. I over heard you before. You only wanted to marry him for our money. How could you." Yelan glared at her with disgust.

Meilin drooped her head in surrender. Someone had finally caught her. (A/N: This over hearing thing about Meilin wanting to marry Syaoran for his money was NOT mentioned in the story)

Syaoran was shocked at this. His eyes now showed anger at the ruby orbed girl.

"You lied to my mom and myself! I don't want someone like that in my house...well...Mother's house. I'd suggest you leave immediately!" Syaoran scowled, pointing at the door. Meilin glared at him and Sakura so icily that they would have died if looks could have killed. She stomped out the room, fuming, and left the house.

Yelan sighed. "And all this time I thought Meilin was a good person. Well, I guess not." she shook her head. Then her mood brightened. "Now, about the marriage. We can arrange it for after your schooling, or we can cut your schooling short and get you married earlier. Your choice." she smiled brightly.

Syaoran put his arm around Sakura's waist and pulled her closer, making her blush. "I dunno. Whenever we're ready." he replied, watching Sakura going red at his actions, which made him smirk.

"Very well. You have about a year to decide, so you don't have to rush through things. But I would appreciate if you tell me as soon as possible." Yelan smiled, standing up to leave the room. "I'll be leaving now. If you need me, you'll know where I am."

Sakura and Syaoran nodded. After she left, Syaroan closed the door. Sakura walked over to his green bed and lay down on her stomach. She sighed of comfort and closed her eyes.

Syaoran did the same, but lay on his back. Sakura lifted her head and watched Syaoran stare at the ceiling. Her eyes staring at his blanket. They started to fill with worry.

"Syaoran, what if I'm possessed more often and I try to hurt you again?" she asked, looked at Syaoran for a response.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to counter it." he replied.

"It's weird. We love each other. I thought that would have been impossible." Sakura said softly, sitting up. Syaoran chuckled and sat up too. He brought her delicate figure onto his lap and buried his face in her neck and breathed in her scent.

"I always thought that you wouldn't return my feeling. When Mother asked you if you had feelings for me, my heart was pounding hard in my chest. I was so scared that you'd say you didn't love me." he murmured.

Sakura giggled as his breath tickled her neck. Syaoran turned her around and kissed her on the nose and smirked. There was a knock.

"Master Syaoran, dinner is ready." Wei's voice could be heard from behind the door.

Sakura hopped off Syaoran's lap and held hands with him down the stairs. They made the perfect pair.
