HAHAHA
I can't really say anything since spring break is over and this chapter was written out and finally is up!
I hope you'll all forgive me for procrastinating on corrections and read this extra long chapter to me since I wanted to capture every detail and emotion of Sakura and Syaoron… (My fault) but I hope it was worth the wait…
Review and tell me what u think!
Chapter 14: And she said…
"What's wrong?"
Syaoron snapped from his thoughts and into her emerald eyes…they seemed to sink him deeper into their abyss and he found it hard to look away. He swallowed nervously. Her brows scrunched in concern.
"No…nothing"
Sakura smiled a little.
Syaoron returned it nervously and glanced away from her to gaze outside.
"Pretty huh?" Sakura started feeling awkward that he was so shy now…
"Yeah…." She heard him say distantly.
Sakura glanced at him and smiled a little. He looked best when his expression was lost with the scenery. The wind blew softly in the warm April night. She reached out to touch his cheek when he closed his eyes and seem to ask for something silently.
Syaoron glanced at her and smiled a slow lazy smile "what?"
"You just seem so lost…" Sakura smiled a little and took her hand away from his cheek as the waiter appeared with a pad to order.
"What do you want?" he asked softly as he reached for a menu to look at Dinner specials.
"I want…" Sakura glanced down and looked back at him "the tender ribs… White wine will do and…" she looked at him.
"Oh…I…Hmm…The steak dinner sound good, white wine it will be"
"Very good" The waiter said and strolled out.
Sakura grinned, "I thought you'd have known what you wanted right off"
"No…" Syaoron admitted "this is actually the first time I've been here…I thought it'd be good to have a first time restaurant with you…'
Sakura raised a brow slightly then smiled gently "you're so sweet…I love you" Sakura whispered touching his cheek lovingly.
He returned her smile and held her hand in his.
They had a wonderful dinner as Syaoron loosened up to Sakura….
"That was great Syaoron…" Sakura exclaimed as he took her out to pay.
Syaoron fingered the box in his pocket and closed his eyes tightly. "It's now or never!" he vowed and after he paid he looked into her eyes in front of the whole restaurant. He blocked everyone else out but her smiling face and he bent down.
Sakura eyes widened as everyone else in the room smiled in anticipation. Sakura colored as she realized some of the biggest gossipers were here and VERY interested in what Syaoron Li was doing.
"Sakura…I know that I've done many things in the past…A LOT actually…that you haven't approved of…and I'm sorry…but today I think I'm doing something right for once and I wanted to know if you'd help correct my ways with me by becoming my wife…" Syaoron looked into her eyes and opened the box slowly. Sakura looked at the ring and back into his amber eyes. She felt a thousand emotions at work as she also blocked everyone in the room out but Syaoron. She saw sincerity in his eyes and fears that she thought he shouldn't even have…
She reached out to him and smiled softly. She'd waited all her life to hear these words from him…she wouldn't let him down because she wanted to stand by him. The thousand pains, Tears, betrayals they have had in the past had only strengthened their love…
"Yes Syao…I'll be you're everything…" Sakura said shakily and Syaoron smiled before he caught her in a fiery kiss. Their audience clapped and cheered but the two didn't know they existed…in their kiss they were the only ones…the ones that had a new beginning to go to…

Yelan sighed softly as the phone continues to ring. Finally tossing her pen down from her hand she picked up her cell.
"Yes?" Yelan said calmly
"Yelan?"
Yelan tried to place the name with the voice and there was silence.
"Mrs.…Hung Xing?" Yelan asked
"Yes…"
Yelan smiled to herself "What is it?"
"It's nothing much I just wanted to tell you congratulations on you're son's engagement?"
"Engagement?" Yelan said lost. She hadn't heard of this…for all she knew Xaio was not happy as of yet but had only relented.
"Yes, you're son proposed right in front of me to Miss Kinomoto just a few minutes ago before they left happily…"
Yelan couldn't say anything….It seemed Syaoron had decided his future already and had acted upon instinct without her…
"Well umm…thank you I'm sure Xaiolang would extend my thanks to you as well."
"Of course"
"Due to all my work I'm afraid I have to let you go" Yelan proclaimed as she heard the front door open and running upstairs. Without waiting for a reply she hung up and headed upstairs hoping to catch Syaoron and ask him of this ordeal. Jogging upstairs she saw the servant's staring and she reprimands them with a famous Li Glare. Although it was highly indecent to run around in one's house she'd do it to catch Syaoron. Stopping halfway upstairs she turned to face the butler.
"Shane did young master Syaoron just go up?"
The man nodded and she rushed up faster.
Shane turned to look at Mandy the maid.
"Do you think I should've told her Mistress Sakura was with him?"
Mandy shrugged.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sakura groaned and rolled over onto her back.
"Come here" Syaoron whined pulling her back onto him. Sakura grinned and nuzzled into his neck and held him tight" You've tired me out for the night and I still need to go home!"
"You live next door" Syaoron said teasingly and played with a strand of her hair.
"We should get dressed" Sakura said moving "and you should send me home!"
Syaoron groaned in frustration. "I don't want to! Why can't you just stay over?"
Sakura smiled sitting up and caressed his cheek "Because Syaoron…if I stay there definitely WON'T be ANY sleep, and if I go I can sleep"
Syaoron rolled his face into the pillow muffling out her fuss.
"Xaiolang!" Sakura demanded shaking him.
"NO!" Syaoron mumbled pulling his green silk sheets over him.
"YES!" Sakura demanded.
With a huff she looked for her clothes and decided to go herself.
"Where are you going?" Syaoron said suddenly grabbing onto her hand.
Wrenching out of his grasp Sakura stood proudly and lifted her chin a notch up.
"To get my clothes and WALK home"
Syaoron shook his head slightly, "You're not giving in are you?"
Sakura shook her head in agreement.
"Alright!" Syaoron proclaimed sitting up and pulling her back to him. She clung onto his neck as he brushed a kiss on her lips.
"After five more minutes."
Sakura laughed and bopped him on the head with his pillow.
Resting on his chest as she absently noticed how he stroked her head and she contented herself to listening to his heartbeat.
"Saku…"
"Hmm?" she answered looking at him from where she slept on his chest.
He looked downward into her emerald eyes and smiled softly.
"What are we going to do in the future?"
"Well" Sakura said snuggling into his embrace "I want a big house near our parents and you'll be of course working in the family company"
"Oh?" Syaoron asked
Sakura nodded, "Then we'll have a few kids here and there with A LOT of time between some because I want to be a good mother without popping out to many kids"
"All right" Syaoron agreed", as long as I'm getting some boys who look and act like me!"
"Who'll also kill me" Sakura joked punching his chest lightly.
Syaoron laughed and held her in a tighter embrace. Slowly he brought her chin up to meet his lips and skimmed his way to her mouth.
"If you do this I know I won't leave!" Sakura complained lightly
"That's exactly what I want" Syaoron said challenging her. He rolled her to the side and kissed her deeply gaining access to deep-throat with her.
"You are…" Sakura started and never finished as he continued to shush her.
In the back of her head Sakura thought, 'What the Hell!' and went with the flow.
Syaoron smiled as she started to fully participate and forget everything else, and if fate was on his side he'd have her for the rest of tonight!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yelen smiled softly as she neared the end of the hall where her son slept. Fixing her dress she cleared her throat and put on her business look as she reached for the doorknob and turned it.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sakura laughed as Syaoron mumbled about murdering the blankets and tore them off of her figure and crawled on top of her.
"Now…" Syaoron started and Sakura giggled as he covered her body halfway and brought one hand down her side holding her possessively while he positioned himself above her opening. Sakura grinned when he seemed at total concentration of not missing.
"If you miss no more till we're married!" Sakura announced to him and his brows quirked, as she knew he'd heard through his concentration.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yelan opened the door with sincerity and no nonsense face upon her only to have surprise replace it. She cleared her throat as she turned away from her son straddled on top of his "bride-to-be" stark naked.
Yelen was mentally disturbed yet she found it amusing that he hadn't thought to lock the door against anyone.
THAT was Syaoron….so sure of himself!
"Syaoron!" She announced after a few minutes to see if he was presentable. After all she had heard Sakura's embarrassed gasp and Syaoron constant cursing.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Syaoron was as surprised as his mother was when he heard the door open and caught his mother expression changed. He groaned and knew that this surely meant Sakura would NOT be spending the night!
Hating himself for throwing off the blankets earlier he watched Sakura cower under them to pull her evening gown on again and he reached for his boxers and pants.
Hearing his mother's voice he answered reluctantly now.
"What is it mother?" Syaoron asked and she turned around with an emotionless face and sat down timidly facing the two fidgeting couples who hadn't dared to look at her face yet.
"I had heard from Mrs. Xing that you've proposed to Sakura without MY seeing to it….is that correct?"
Yelen knew it was as soon as she saw the beautiful glittering diamond on Sakura left hand.
"I did," He acknowledges.
Yelan smiled softly at how the couple was gripping each other in embarrassment of their actions.
"Without me?" Yelan asked wearily.
"Without you" Syaoron confirmed with and edge to his tone.
Yelan brow quirked as she realized Syaoron was more than just telling her but challenging her to take a opposing stand from him.
She sighed softly" It's not that I'm mad at you Xaio-Lang it's just the fact that everyone knew before your own mother and I didn't expect that from my only son…"
"I'm sorry…"
Yelan's head snapped up at her son's apology. In all her life her son had only apologized a few times in his lifetime….never did she think she'd be graced with one of his sorries!
"I…" Yelan couldn't utter another word as she eyed her son's serious expression.,
"Just please…don't take Sakura…" Syaoron said.
Yelan saw the fear deep within his amber orbs and knew her son meant every word so she stood with a slight smile.
"I won't tear you and Sakura away…I just want to be informed so I can share your happiness with you to."
Syaoron smiled a little and stood up as Yelan came around to give him a hug.
"Thanks Niang"
Yelan nodded softly ad headed out of the room, she stopped as she neared the door and turned back around again. "Although….I don't think you two should be tearing at each other until after the wedding though."
She saw Sakura's face alight with redness and knew she'd said what she thought.
She left them both thinking and torn between their feelings.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Early April
"Wow" Sakura giggled. She lay on Syaoron's lap as he read their wedding announcements.
He glanced down at her and brushed his hand through her hair softly.
"Can you believe we graduated early just to tear at each other?" Sakura asked fiddling with a lock of her hair.
"Yeah…it's been to long since we've had fun" Syaoron whined.
Sakura smiled softly and remembered that after Yelan's barging in on them in March they haven't been able to do anything but Sakura have her own little secrets as well…and it'd be the right time to tell him.
She smiled in thought.
"What?" He asked adjusting her to sit on his lap and lean against his chest
"Nothing…when's everyone flying in for our wedding…."
"In May dear…" Syaoron said softly. Every since they decided to go through with it Nadeshiko and Yelan had been high on getting everything perfect for their only son and daughter.
There hadn't been any peace as the mother's bragged on this powerful connection and people after people known to them of not congratulated them.
Sakura sighed.
"It's a miracle we're alone huh?" Syaoron said rocking her back and forth lovingly. She nodded and buried the side of her face in his chest inhaling his scent.
"What's been on your mind?"
"Everything that's been on our mothers mind!" Sakura huffed.
Syaoron laughed. "Calm down love…"
"I am" Sakura snapped a little and held on to him. "Syao…just hold me"
He chuckled amused "I thought that was what I was doing"
"More" Sakura pouted
"I am" he insisted and slid a protective hand over hers.
"I Love you"
"I know," he said with a smile. He buried his face into her honey brown hair and was contented just to stay that way…
"The Fong's aren't to please about this arrangement….they're attacking hard on Touya" Sakura said voicing her thoughts to him after moments of silence.
"I don't care" Syaoron said roughly, "we'll work through everything together because Love isn't about letting go it's about holding on!"
Sakura nodded slowly and closed her eyes…Sending a silent prayer to the heavens she was thankful FINALLY she'd be happy.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"They did it!" Eriol said with a hint of amusement over the phone to Tomoyo.
"I know, I got the invitation today…I'm SO HAPPY ERIOL!"
"Hey" Eriol said a bit disappointed, "don't be happier until we get married as well"
Tomoyo nodded over the phone dumbly with embarrassment. She glanced at the gold ring with rows of diamonds on her ring finger.
"I can't believe we're all going to be happy just like the old days…"
"Hey, I always knew Syaoron would snap out one day…just a little later than I originally thought though…"
"Yeah who would've thought one girl could cause so many problems for our group!"
"I know" Eriol mused. "I for one, can't wait to see you at the wedding next month!"
"Eriol!" Tomoyo redden on the phone "You're supposed to be saying that to the people who are getting married!"
"I will but you first!" Eriol said possessively.
"Okay" Tomoyo agreed and lay down on her bed…. "Now hunny I got to get to work so I can graduate early and attend their wedding! She promised to wear a gown designed by me!"
'Uh-oh!" Eriol said with amusement.
"Shut up! She'll look good," Tomoyo announced
"All right! As long as you look better!"
"That! I'll do for you," Tomoyo said
"Bye sweetie!" Eriol said with a yawn.
"Bye"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sakura sighed. She hadn't seen Syaoron in two weeks! She missed her Darling!
So busy with outfitting her gown for Tomoyo who flew down early and arranging seating with her mothers she was busy!
She hadn't even had one minute to herself yet!
Groaning she turned to look at the decorations she had to plan and the food. Her mother's had refused to help claiming they had other things to do. Flopping down on the bed she called for XingFa.
As the head maid walked in she ordered what she had done of the arrangements to be done and told her to keep even the mother's out if they came SHE was taking a nap!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Syaoron snuck out of his office at Li corp. and headed to his car.
"Master?"
Syaoron whirled around to come face to face with Wei.
"Be quiet Wei, you're to tell my father I'm running business if he asks"
"You're going to see Mistress Sakura?"
Syaoron nodded, "I haven't seen her in 2 weeks! I'm dying"
Wei nodded, "as you wish Young master!"
Syaoron drove furiously off, he didn't care if his mother's were there as soon as he got there he was placing his lips on hers and the world be damned!
Yanking his tie down he adjusted himself and drove like there was no tomorrow.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"She's SLEEPING!" Xing Fa said stubbornly to the man who'd become her young master in a few days.
"BUT!"
"SLEEPING! You don't understand words from my mouth!"
"Look just five minutes!"
"I say she sleeps then she sleeps! What don't you get?"
Syaoron cursed and looked at Sakura window as he slowly trudged off.
Although he hated to admit it he wanted what was best for her! Even if he couldn't see her…
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Did you see Mistress…"
"No" Syaoron said sadly "she was sleeping…You GOT to teach that girlfriend of yours something Wei"
Wei colored and stuttered a response "XingFa…sir"
"Of course!" Syaoron snapped fixing himself. With a scowl he entered the building and opened his door to his office.
"Dad" Syaoron said when he saw who sat in his chair.
"I don't remember any business calling unless it was business to your bride-to-be!" His father huffed out in amusement.
Syaoron groaned.
"I take it you didn't see her?"
Syaoron looked on the ground in disappointment.
"Was it those twin hens?" Xaio asked amused
Syaoron shook his head, "She was sleeping…"
He glanced back at his dad when his dad didn't reply. His father held a shock but amused face.
He busted out laughing.
"Hey! Syaoron argued, "I tried!"
"You still have to stay after for the time you missed" his father said ending his laughter and straightens his face to business like again.
"God Damn THIS!" Syaoron cursed, "I HATE WEDDINGS!"
