4. Damn the World









Syaoran












Syaoran turned over in bed to find himself next to his beautiful angel, Maya. He gently caressed her face and brushed a stray strand of hair out of her eyes. Her eyes, which were currently closed, were set in her beautiful face, her mouth serenely smiling, all in the perfect expression of heavenly peace.

Oh what the fuck was Syaoran thinking? He's getting all disgustingly foolish and...dare he say? Romantic without a cause but for the sheer moment of it? Silly little Syaoran, the hell was he thinking???

These past few days he's actually been thinking about settling down for once. Maya didn't care about his money or his status, for all she cared, he could be a beggar and still love him. Right? He was a bit concerned about this topic, I mean really how many woman found him attractive just because of his money and status? No matter, no matter because Maya was different.

Syaoran carefully got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom to take a shower. For the past three months or so, Syaoran spent his nights in the apartment without Eriol, and only with Maya.

Eriol and Tomoyo had gone away in August and now it was October. Leaves were crisp and the clean fresh air of autumn was in the atmosphere. Tonight was the day he and Maya would celebrate 2 year's anniversary and he was thinking about asking her to marry him. He had tried to stop cheating on her since the last girl Kali. Good thing Meilin had gone away to the states for awhile, because with her out of the way, nothing would be able to tempt him away from his... dare he say it?... from his LOVE?

He still didn't understand "making love" but yes, he did have very strong feelings for Maya, and who's to say that what he feels isn't love?

Syaoran stepped out of the shower and with a towel around his waste he brushed his teeth, blow-dried and loosely gelled his hair (in a way that sort of made it look messier, but still well kept), then shaved and put his trademark cologne on.

Maya was still sleeping soundly and Syaoran giving her one last look exited the room, then the apartment.









Sakura







"Oh Tomoyo, that's wonderful." Sakura lounged about in her sofa eating cereal and watching cartoons in her pink pajamas. Her hair was up in a messy bun, she wasn't washed or clean, not even her teeth were brushed, but everything about her seemed beautiful nonetheless.

"Sakura I'm so happy, I can't wait till the wedding. It'll be next spring, I think we'll make it sometime in April, you'll have to fly up to England of course."

"No doubt ma petite enfante, I would not miss it for a million boxes of Godiva chocolates even if I was starving with my period with the wedding far far off in the middle of the ocean. I'd still be there."

Tomoyo had to laugh at Sakura's ridiculous imagination. "You'll, no doubt, be my maid of honor?"

"Hai." Sakura replied currently taking interest in her split ends.

"Great, I've got this kawaii dress for you planned out already."

"Hoee..." Sakura's sweat dropped as she heard her friend's happiness, she could almost imagine the stars in Tomoyo's eyes.

"So how's things back home?" ask Tomoyo.

"They're wonderful, as a matter of fact I believe I will be meeting Yukito later. But I miss you very much, When will you be coming back?" Sakura sighed wishing Tomoyo were here. It was very lonely without her best friend to keep her company. Even Yukito couldn't take away the place in her heart that was meant for Tomoyo.

"I'm really not sure, Eriol and I, we are actually planning to stay here for some time, even after the wedding and honeymoon." Tomoyo felt guilty as she said these words, how could she leave Sakura like this? Yet she loved Eriol and they both loved England, they didn't want to leave it just yet.

"Oh... well it's alright of course. I... I will miss you very much. I can't wait till I can go to England to help you with your wedding preparations." Sakura felt like crying and she couldn't hinder her shaky voice. She felt tears form in her eyes and soon they started to drop.

"Saku... Saku baby I'm really sorry. You'll need some time away from me anyway. It's ridiculous to count on me so much, dear. Don't forget that you have Yukito."

"O-Of course. But you know nobody can r-replace y-you To-moyo." Not knowing what else to say, and not wanting to break down in front of Tomoyo, Sakura decided to hang up. "I've got to go now, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Oh, well bye Saku."

"Bye Moyo."

Sakura hung up and with a great big sniff she let her tears fall. Oh she wished she could be independent of Tomoyo, but Sakura really loved Tomoyo, she was like a big sister to Sakura and without her, she felt lost and very alone. Thinking it best not to waste her time sniffling and crying she decided to make some coffee.

Sakura got up with the empty bowl and made her way to the kitchen. She was about to get the instant coffee out and boil some water when she thought, why not just go down to Starbucks and bring back some coffee?

Not caring what she was wearing or what she looked like she brushed her teeth, washed her face and then grabbed her purse and locking the door left her apartment. At the same time she ran into...










Syaoran











He had felt so ready to have a good day; nothing could ruin his day until he just had to encounter the bitch queen herself.

Syaoran looked down to see Sakura on the floor, her hand held to her head. "HoOoEEeE!" She had screamed as she fell. He arched an eyebrow as he watched her.

"Oh wow what a fall." She said giggling to herself before looking up at Syaoran. At first he was really taken aback by her appearance. Her face was flushed a bit red as if she had been crying, her eyes were shining perhaps with left over tears? The green of her eyes gleaming like perfectly cut emeralds. She was still in her... pajamas...(he looked at her skeptically)...which were pink...(she was even stranger than he thought)... and wearing... slippers instead of shoes...(at this point he's thinking.. is she crazy?). She didn't even look like she had taken a shower that morning... yet he let out a breath of amazement at how beautiful she had actually become.

Yet none of these thoughts he had was shown to Sakura. Syaoran smirked down at her and walked away, so what if she was pretty she was still the bitch who beat him at almost everything. Fucking stupid child, they were freakking 11 months apart. He wished she had been in a lower grade or he in a higher grade. Then at least he, Syaoran Li, would have been the best student in the grade without the competition of the stupid bitch.

Damn, now his day was ruined and all he would think about was her. Wonder what she would be like in bed he thought. SHIT!!! What the fuck was getting into him? Just remember she's nothing but a stupid bitch, a loose whore, probably fucked every guy since his revenge against her. He didn't even think she knew it was his fault she and Ryo had broken up. He smirked, that's right, she deserved it. Stupid fucking bitch.

Damn the world for bringing her into it. Damn her to freakking hell. Hope he never has to encounter her again, at least not for a long time. Or at least not for the rest of the week. Seriously, how long can two neighbors not see each other for?








Sakura









"What the fuck is his problem?" Sakura mumbled to herself glaring at his back as he walked away. She got up and dusted herself off.

She had no idea why the hell Syaoran hated her so much but she hated him back as well. Yet for a moment there after the collision, she had gotten a good glimpse of him, which she hadn't done in a long time. He'd actually gotten pretty handsome. Okay, she lied, HE WAS FREAKKING HOT. Since when did he look like a sex god?

She sneered at herself. The day she wants to get laid by him is the day hell freezes over and pigs fly in a sky full of dancing chickens.

Still sniggering at the mere thought of ever liking "dear" Syaoran, she got up and made her way down the hallway to the elevator. Unfortunately, the stupid bastard was there still waiting for the elevator. Oh what a fucking wonderful day this was turning out to be. With Tomoyo happy off in England with Eriol, and Syaoran being a normal bastard, how much worse could it get?

Sakura walked towards the stairs only to see a sign saying that the stairs were off limits because of maintenance. HOW THE FUCKING HELL COULD THERE BE MAINTENANCE WORK ON STAIRS??? The fucking stairs are supposed to be the escape routes if there's ever a fucking fire. It's fucking dangerous! She glared, at the door, at the sign, then finally at Syaoran who glared right back at her.

Two pairs of eyes, amber and emerald glared daggers that chilled the whole hallway to the daily temperature of the North Pole.

Sakura waited patiently for the elevator, it was painstakingly slow and she felt like murdering the next person she saw. Which as God would have it, the only person she could see, was Syaoran.

"Damn the world." Sakura muttered under her breath. -Damn him- she thought. It shouldn't be allowed for your worst enemy to be the best looking guy you've ever seen. Occasionally Sakura would sneak a glance. Taking in each part of his face, each defining curve and edge. And his eyes, they were this intense amber color that had specks of gold and darker brown throughout. They were the most amazing brown eyes she had ever come across.

Just then Syaoran caught her staring into his eyes, and instead of holding any expression of anger or resentment or hatred, they just stared at each other. Just stared. No emotion whatsoever, they just looked into each other's eyes and...

Ding.

The elevator door opened to reveal Yukito.

"Ohayo Sakura, where are you going?" Yukito looked puzzled as he looked at the startled Sakura who hurriedly rushed to him and kissed him a million times in obvious delight.

"Oh I'm just going to Starbucks, I'm dying for some mocha frappachino. It's my absolute favorite. Care to join me?" Her eyes shined with a light of joy and Yukito's golden eyes were warm with affection.

"Hai, I'd love to." He gently kissed Sakura's luscious pink lips and swept her off her feet into the elevator.









Syaoran










For some reason he had been drawn to those endless green eyes that stared into his in such a way that made him feel like she could see into his soul. In the short time their eyes had connected, he felt a billion different emotions as she looked into his eyes.

He had felt shame, intrigue, fear, affection, lust, and of course hatred.

Then the moment was ruined with the light ring signifying the elevator's arrival. And upon the arrival he rushed into it; however the dear loving couple decided to have a tender moment, slightly delaying his exit of the damned floor in the damned apartment in this damned world.

All because of some stupid damned bitch and those damned eyes, he was going to have the crappiest day of his life. Could it possibly get any worse?










In the Lobby







"Xiao Lang!" A tall thin elegant lady sat in the lobby, an equally tall man by her side waiting on her every command. She saw her dear son's form as he rushed out of the elevator and out into the lobby, he almost passed by, not seeing her until she called out to him. "Wei, call out for Xiao Lang. Hayaku Wei. Loud and clear so that my son can hear."

"Master Li! Master Li!" Wei was not a young butler, he was elderly and had been in the family for quite some time yet he was very devoted. Not at all did he regret his position at the Li's home. He deemed himself quite lucky.

Syaoran turned around to the voices calling out to him. And out of the corner of his eye he saw the bitch pass with her fag of a boyfriend and she was as happy as can be while his day seemed to get worse and worse.

What the hell was his mother doing here?!

Syaoran saw his elegant mother sitting gracefully in the white one-person sofa. Her hair was neatly done in a casual up-do, her dress was long and beautiful. The best materials for the best, richest, most powerful family. She was in a dark mauve gown that had a black chiffon covering, making the mauve darker. There were black beads throughout the chiffon out-skirt that created a very evening look to her whole being.

In her left hand was a glass of the finest champagne, and her right hand clutched the sofa's arms as she slowly stood to take a look at her dear son.

"My dearest Syaoran." Yelan beamed at her son who was at least a head taller than her. She looked up into deep amber eyes that were the mirror image of her own. Yet nearly everything else about him was more like his father. God bless his soul she thought, missing her dear deceased husband.

She lifted her right hand, which was gloved in black lace, to his soft skin of his cheek. "How are you sweetie."

"I'm fine mother. And how have you been?" Syaoran asked cordially.

"Oh everything has just been grand." She said with a flourish as she lifted her champagne glass and took a sip. "Yet there is this little thing you must come to tonight. Around... perhaps 8:00pm? Do be early dear," Yelan handed her glass to Wei and used both beautifully gloved hands to straighten Syaoran's tie. "It's very important, especially because it'll effect the rest of your life." She smiled a lovely smile and kissed him gently on his cheek.

"I will try to find time mother." Syaoran replied.

"No, no, that answer will not be acceptable whatsoever. Be there tonight or so help me Syaoran you're financial future will definitely NOT include any inheritance from the Li fortune." Yelan gave a smile yet her eyes blazed with a cold fire that demanded obedience.

With and exasperated sigh Syaoran had no choice but to say, "Yes mother, I will be there tonight at 8:00."

"Why that's marvelous. Remember, be early, there will be guests dear." With that she left Syaoran standing there. "We must go now."

"Good bye Master Li." Wei gave a small bow as he followed Yelan out the door.

"Good bye." Syaoran replied, then walked towards the garage to his car. His day couldn't get any worse.

OH FUCK!

Syaoran could not believe he would have to miss out on tonight's plans. He was going to pick up a ring right now as well. How would he be able to ask Maya to marry him now? No matter, he'll make it up to her tomorrow. He'll just have to go to his mom's tonight though, Maya will understand.











Sakura









Yukito and Sakura had gone to Starbucks and back and now she was taking a shower and getting ready to go out. Yukito cooked breakfast in her kitchen as he waited for Sakura to be finished.

Sakura smiled as she smelled the wonderful aroma of bacon, eggs and toast. She stepped out of her room after putting on jeans and a simple white tank top.

"Hey." She smiled and winked at Yukito who in turn licked his lips and blew a kiss in the air.

Before anymore dialogue between them could be exchanged the phone rang.

"Hello, this is Sakura Kinomoto speaking."

"Hello Sakura." Fujitaka smiled hearing his beautiful daughter's voice. "How are you?"

Sakura squealed in delight upon hearing her beloved father on the other line. "Oh daddy, I miss you so much. I'm doing wonderful. How are you? Are you healthy and eating right? And exercising too? And Touya, how is he? And business? Oh daddy, tell me everything."

"Woa there, slow down dear." Fujitaka chuckled as realized how much he had missed Sakura as well. "Everything is wonderful, Touya is doing great, he's a fast learner and because of his headstrong personality he's made for this job. I'm also doing fine and yes I am healthy as possibly can be."

Sakura smiled, she felt happy as she talked to her dad. "So why'd you call daddy?"

"Well," Fujitaka chose his words carefully, "there is a little gathering I would like for you to come with me for. It's very important that you be here tonight."

"Oh, well of course, I'm not really a busy person so I'll be there tonight. How about this daddy, I'll go to your house and then we can go to the party or gathering or whatever it is, together. It'll be a date!"

"That would be wonderful." Fujitaka replied. "So I'll see you at my house around 7:30? We'll set off around 7:50. Okay dear?"

"Alright! I'll see you then." She hung up and beamed at Yukito. "I'm so happy," Yukito smiled. "I'm going to see my dad tonight."

"That's really great Saku, and since you're going out tonight, let's do some fun stuff before you leave me all alone." He laughed and pointed to her food, "Eat up, we'll need a lot of energy at the amusement park."

"OH! Yukito, this is going to be so fun let's hurry." Sakura was practically jumping for joy as she shoveled down her food eating almost as much as Yukito would normally.














Syaoran










"Maya I'm really sorry that I'm missing out on our date tonight. Especially the fact that today is our 2 year anniversary."

"Syaoran, this isn't fair, and if it wasn't for the last 15 minutes of really intense love making," Maya snuggled into Syaoran's bare chest not noticing how he cringed at her choice of words, she continued "I wouldn't have forgiven you."

Syaoran held her tightly in his arms, their naked bodies together and arms and legs intertwined. He kissed her hair gently making her sigh with happiness.

For some time they stayed together, barely moving except for the rhythms of their chests moving up and down as they breathed.

Then suddenly Maya had an idea, "Syao, Syao... what if I went with you today?" Syaoran broke away from her slightly to observe her face.

"Go on..." Syaoran stated slowly waiting for her to continue.

"Well, I haven't yet met your mother, I'm sure it would be good to get acquainted with her. No?" Maya smiled she was liking her plan very much and hoping for Syaoran's approval. "She never asked you NOT to bring someone... oh Syao, PLEASE?"

Syaoran thought about it for a minute, and it really was reasonable. There was no reason Maya couldn't be present for this little soiree or whatever.

He smirked as he said "Well, why not?" which resulted in a squeal of happiness from Maya.

"Oh this is going to be great." She rushed out of the room to get ready to go out leaving Syaoran amazed at how fast she went from the bed to the bathroom.












Sakura













Currently at home, she thought about the wonderful day she had had with Yukito. She really liked him. He wasn't like the other guys that she went through week after week, one after the other. They were all monotonous and predictable. But Yukito made her feel so free and happy. She hoped they would be together for a long time. She was even thinking about marrying him.

Oh the joy of finding true love (even though she had only been with him for two months), she thought, as she brushed her long silky hair.

She couldn't wait to see her father again. Maybe even Touya if he wasn't too busy.

This was going to be a very good night she thought as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her beautiful emerald eyes stared back at her, framed in the eyeliner and lightly done gold eye shadow. Her dress was a little past the knees, it was like a dressy yet casual cocktail dress in white and gold. Strapless, it clung to her every curve, supported only by her perfectly formed breasts. On her neck she wore a thin gold necklace with a several pearls placed unevenly throughout the necklace and her ears matched her neck sporting a pair of dainty gold earrings with pearls hanging off.

Time to leave the house she thought.









Meilin







Her straight flawless black hair shimmered in the moonlight as she walked towards the familiar childhood home of Syaoran in the town of their younger years. Their families were quite close friends with one another and she had been friends with him since they were 8 years old. They had actually gotten so close, that she called Yelan, Auntie because she loved her like family.

Meilin sighed as she walked up to a very nice house; more like a mansion, she snorted. It was huge and very welcoming. All the lights were on and today, she hoped there was some good news to come as she walked to the front door. She was very surprised when she got the call from Auntie Yelan for a little soiree of some sort going on tonight, and since she had just gotten back from the states, she might as well meet with old company she hadn't seen for 6 months. She thought Auntie Yelan had also mentioned that her parents were going to be there as well.

Being in front of Syaoran's house she reminisced about the wonderful times she had had with him. She loved him, and ever since they were small, it had always been her childhood dream to be betrothed to Syaoran. She always thought that it was a possibility seeing as their parents were so well acquainted to one another. She was really hoping that it would be announced today, some sort of secret that they had decided not to tell her till now. Hey, a girl can dream right? Besides, Auntie said the meeting was about something that would affect the rest of her life.

She sighed, suddenly she remembered how Syaoran was not her only neighbor as she caught sight of a house not far off, the Sakura bitch had lived in the same neighborhood as well.

They had often fought when they were younger. Whenever Sakura bothered Syaoran, Meilin would get back at Sakura, and the stupid little bitch would run to her older brother. Toyue or something was his name, and that bastard always hurt Syaoran, he even made Meilin cry. She glared at the night air, she definitely did not like Toyue. Then Eriol would get involved, which resulted in Tomoyo's involvement and everybody hated each other.

She gave the door bell a push, and immediately before the bell had a chance to finish it's ding-dong, Wei opened the door.

"Hello Wei, been good?" She smiled at him as he let her in and took her coat.

"Never been better Miss Rae." Wei gave a polite smile at the young woman before him, then he walked away. He never really liked her, especially at how corrupted she had made the young Master Li. Or perhaps it was his nature? But nonetheless he did not like her much.





The Dining Room






Nine people were gathered, sitting at a long banqueting table under a large chandelier in a beautifully decorated dining room. They ate quietly, occasionally glancing at the strange array of people gathered under the Li's roof.

Yelan sat at the head of the table, to her right sat Fujitaka, to her left sat her son, Syaoran. To Syaoran's left was Maya, and to Fujitaka's right sat Sakura. Touya sat between Sakura and unfortunately for him, Meilin. Next to Maya, sat the Rae's, Ping and Mulan, Meilin's parents.

All that could be heard was the clinking of their silverware and dishes. This whole ordeal seemed so awkward.








Sakura











Feeling as though she had eaten enough, Sakura sat bored and bored and... uh well... bored. She glanced at the people's faces that were surrounding her. They were all elegant and beautiful. Even Meilin and Syaoran, who she hated with fiery passion, seemed alright.

The girl next to Syaoran she recognized as Wu Maya, she knew her face because she had seen her often enough with Syaoran. She only knew her first name because she could hear their sex screams and moans whenever she came home late, and her last name because she had been introduced as Miss Wu.

She hadn't seen Yelan in awhile, and she actually had missed her. Yelan had been very kind to her even if Syaoran and her had hated each other. Sakura smiled to herself remembering the times Yelan had defended Sakura. Especially that one time when she was 7 she and Syaoran had gotten into a fight over a broken toy. Sakura had tried to run away from Syaoran's wrath, especially since she was alone, so close to getting caught and beaten to a pulp, Yelan had interfered. She had picked Sakura up so lovingly and held her as she scolded her son. She sighed, Yelan had been the closest thing she had to a mother... it was nice to see her again.

She glanced at Meilin's parents. She recognized them from a long time ago as well. They had treated her very kindly even though she and Meilin had always fought. They would always end up horribly scratching each other and slapping each other whenever they met, yet Meilin's parents were always courteous to her.

She took a small look at Meilin, and studied her beautiful features. Especially her deep crimson eyes. Her hair was gorgeous too. Sakura had always wanted to have black hair, but she still loved her own honey locks very much.

'Syaoran', she thought her eyes resting on his quiet form. He was very good looking, but she still hated him. He was always so rude to her, and they had a very long past. But nonetheless, she wanted to try and be courteous to him today. Especially in front of the elders.

She wondered why they were even gathered here today, what news could possibly be so important?

Slowly everyone else started to finish their dinners. The servants cleared away all the plates, replacing the table with desserts (fruits and cakes) and coffee.

"Ahem," Yelan cleared her throat in order to get everyone's attentions, "Today is a very important day, as the parents of these dear children know. The minute we finish dessert I would like to move to the lounge... for some... important announcements."

Everybody nodded in response, silently.





Lounge







"WHAT?!?" All the younger people gathered in that room nearly died of a heart attack as they stared in disbelief at their parents.

"ARE YOU CRAZY??? ME? MARRYING HER??" Syaoran was really pissed. They were crazy. This had to be an absolutely lunatic joke.

"HA! WHAT'S BAD ABOUT MARRYING ME?? IT'S ME THAT EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR. HAVING TO MARRY A BEAST LIKE YOU!!!" Sakura screamed at Syaoran.

Maya was pissed off as well, and so was Meilin who shot daggers at both Maya and Sakura. Syaoran was supposed to be her betrothed. Why else would she be here then... just to bare witness?!?!

"BACK OFF YOU UGLY WHORE! SYAORAN IS EVERY BIT WORTH MARRYING. ANY GUY STUCK WITH YOU IS THE UNLUCKY ONE!" Yelled out Maya. She couldn't believe that HER Syaoran was betrothed to this absolute atrocity!

"YOU BOTH BACK OFF, SYAORAN SHOULD BELONG TO ME!" Meilin couldn't take these two girls anymore. Syaoran was too good for either of the two girls.

"YOU STUPID SLUT!!! YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT MISS SCREW-ME-MAYA. ALTHOUGH THE ONLY REASON I KNOW YOU'RE NASTY FIRST NAME IS BECAUSE ANY TIME I'M HOME LATE, YOU AND THAT STUPID ASSHOLE ARE THE TWO LOUDEST SEX FREAKS I'VE EVER MET. DON'T YOU EVER REALIZE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WOULD RATHER NOT HERE YOUR MOANS AND SCREAMS OF EACH OTHER'S NAMES IN THE NIGHT???" Sakura could not believe the nerve of this bitch. She didn't care about Meilin, that girl was unimportant as of now but she was not going to get dissed by this silly bitch standing in front of her.

"YOU WATCH WHAT YOU SAY TO HER YOU STUPID ANNOYING I'M-SO-FREAKING-PERFECT- WHORE!" Syaoran roared and got in front of Maya blocking her from Sakura's wrath.

"YOU'RE JUST A COLD HEARTED BAKA! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU THAT YOU STARTED TO HATE ME SO MUCH?" Sakura looked up into his eyes, she felt anger boiling her blood to an almost uncomfortable temperature, or maybe it was his eyes that rendered her into this uncomfortable state.

"WHO THE HELL WOULDN'T HATE YOU? YOU'RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING-"

At this Touya stood up getting involved in this huge fight. "SIT BACK DOWN YOU INCONSIDERATE BAKA. DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT MY LITTLE SISTER LIKE THAT YOU LOWLY PIECE OF DIRT!"

Everybody broke into a fight except for the adults.

Yelan, no longer able to listen to this loud fight stood up with authority and yelled "ALL OF YOU, SIT DOWN. And don't you dare disobey me, ANY OF YOU." Her eyes blazed with anger as everybody went silent and slowly sat down. "Bitch." Syaoran mumbled glaring at Sakura.

"LI XIAO LANG!" Yelan's eyes fixed upon Syaoran with cold fire. "Now that is absolutely enough! The marriage we'll take place in November, a week after Sakura's 24th birthday. Xiao Lang don't you dare mumble anything anymore." Syaoran immediately looked down at Yelan's threatening tone of voice, his mother was no one to mess with.

"Now, Ping and Mulan, please announce the second engagement." Yelan looked at Meilin's father and mother present in the room.

"Well, Meilin, you are to be engaged to Kinomoto Touya." Mulan announced looking at her daughter gently.

"We gladly welcome you Rae Meilin, into the Kinomoto family." Fujitaka gently smiled at her.

"I will not marry him/her." Bother Meilin and Touya had announced at the same time. They glared at the other before trying to speak, yet stopped realizing they were trying to speak at the same time.

"You must, you have no choice." Ping looked angry and ashamed at his daughter's open disobedience as well as rudeness to the Kinomotos."

"I'm afraid Touya, you, as well, must accept this, or you will no longer inherit the company." Fujitaka adjusted his glasses looking at his son with slightly sad eyes. He didn't wish to harm his son, yet this was a good alliance.

"Hai... father." Touya replied with hesitance. "I shall obey." Touya with dull eyes sat sullenly.

"And you Meilin, what do you say?" Asked Yelan looking at young woman she considered as a niece.

Teary eyed and still flushed from the heated argument, Meilin left the room without a response, leaving the rest of the people occupying it to sadly look at her departing figure.

"I'm so sorry Meilin." Mulan looked down into her hands worried sick about her daughter. Hopefully this would work out for the benefit of everyone.











Syaoran












"Damn the world. Damn the fucking bitch that's just ruined my life." Syaoran spat out as he sat in a comfy sofa looking out the large window of his quiet apartment. Everything had been explained to him as well as to the bitch. He had then dropped a fuming/crying Maya home, desperately needing to be alone today.

'This is absolutely ridiculous' he thought as he poured himself a glass of scotch. There was no way of getting out of it. Yelan had made it absolutely clear that Syaoran had to marry Sakura. But that didn't mean he couldn't have affairs could it? He poured himself another cup having finished the last.

Yelan had also never said that he couldn't divorce Sakura once he had claimed the Li corporation as well as inheritance. Yelan only specifically stated, that once he was married, she would finally pass the company into his ownership and the inheritance would all go to him as well. She didn't need it because she was already content with all she had and all that money was of no importance to her. Syaoran smiled, being an only child was wonderful! Of course Eriol would be his partner and probably receive some inheritance as well seeing as they're cousins, but most of it all went to Syaoran. WOO HOO! He thought drinking another cup full of alcohol.

He was starting to see the brighter side of these things.

Later on, he and Maya would marry and have a child of course, and that would be the heir of his fortune. He would never ever have a child with the Kinomoto bitch and neither would he ever touch her. He drank the cup and filled another. Damn, he thought. Maybe there's still a way to get out of this marriage? There was about a month left till the wedding. Yet his mother was already starting to plan everything. He drank it and filled another drinking half before sulking.

He would just have to wait till after he received the fortune. He drank the rest of the cup and settled into the chair. With the few comforting thoughts he was able to muster up in his drunken state, he fell asleep. The last thought that was on his mind, however, were never-ending green eyes.
