A/N: Hello everybody! Thanks so much for those encouraging reviews, they really help me to do better. I'm so glad cause this story has hit 100 reviews! LOLS! I've made a livejournal account so that anyone who reads this story can go to the site and see how I'm coming along with the next chapter. I can also answer questions and/or respond to reviews. The link is on my author profile thing so please check it out.
Oh man there is this amazing story you all HAVE TO read. It's called 'Crimson Blood' by Ruby Moon5 but I'm telling you it's a really really really reallyyyyyy good story. Basically it's about Meilin, and it's a gang related story and I swear it's nothing like little wolf lover's wild things. I mean thank god because it's really hard to find a gang related story that's different from little wolf lover's.
LOLS I've been rambling, anyways, if you felt offended in anyway about the above, I'm really sorry but it's my opinion, please don't hate me. :X
EVERYBODY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read 'Crimson Blood' and give it plenty of reviews because that story deserves it!!!
Anyways on with my story, hope you all enjoy it!
WAIT WAIT!!! I would like to add one last thing please... I never meant this story to be serious, I wanted it to be something that existed out of fun. And I completely understand when one reviewer said that the cursing makes it tacky, I'm really really sorry, but you'll probably see a lot of cursing and stuff like that. I am planning to work on a more serious story after I finish this one though.
ALSO I'm so sorry I took soooo long to finish this chapter. I'm a really slow writer and I just didn't have any ideas for awhile I'm so so sos osooosososooosososoosos sososo sorryy.. forgive me :D
6. I dos and don'ts
Sakura
"Happy birthday Saku!!!"
Sakura's emerald eyes opened only to meet Tomoyo's bright amethyst ones which were right in front of her face.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" Sakura snapped up immediately and ended up bumping into Tomoyo's head, who was too slow to pull away.
"SAKURA!!" Tomoyo rubbed her head glaring at Sakura through one eye.
"Gomen Moyo, but it's not MY fault you were right in front of me and woke me up like THAT..." Sakura lowered herself back down into the bed. "Thank you very much for the birthday wish... however, I would very much like to continue sleeping if you don't mind." Her eyes started to close and she was slowly slipping away from the world, ignoring her best friend's glare.
Tomoyo eyed Sakura reproachfully, then broke out into a mischievous grin, which Sakura, with her closed eyes, failed to notice.
"OOF!"
Tomoyo had jumped on Sakura's body knocking the wind out of her.
"CRAZY BITCH GET THE FUCK OFF ME!"
"NO YOU LAZY BUM, GET THE FUCK UP, ITS MORNING!!!!" Tomoyo screamed back, hauling a limp Sakura off the bed as multiple groans of protest emitted from her.
After a crazy hour of getting ready, Sakura and Tomoyo were out in the bright sun walking arm and arm down the block.
"I hate you..." Sakura mumbled still wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"Yes yes I know, I love you too." Tomoyo replied absently while looking at the dresses in the displays as they walked down the street.
"What'd you wake me up so early for anyway?" Sakura asked, somewhat resentfully as she still thought about her comfy bed.
"For a surprise." Her friend barely mumbled as she continued to stare entranced with every display her amethyst eyes came to see.
"Whatever." Sakura replied glaring at the people around her. Even when she looked like she's just been tossed out of her bed (which she has... mind you) she was beautiful as ever, a bit cranky, yes, but beautiful still.
"So what are we doing now?" Sakura asked looking at Tomoyo through the corner of her eyes. But to her annoyance no response came from the person whom she had just posed a question to. "Where are we going, Tomoyo?" Still no answer... Sakura was about to yell out when...
"OH MY GOODNESS!!" Tomoyo squealed with such happiness that Sakura was sure her eardrums popped.
If Sakura had had a chance to actually look at Tomoyo (before she got dragged off full speed ahead) she would've seen the HUGE stars in her eyes.
"TOMOYO slow down!!!" but it was to no avail seeing as Tomoyo still continued to ignore Sakura as she sped toward the perfect store. Sakura looked up slightly, while still being dragged along, to see Tomoyo's version of heaven looming ever closer.
"Oh boy. It's going to be a long long long long long long long freakking day." Sakura's sweat dropped as she let out a deep sigh.
Touya
He sat under a large tree that was filled with leaves yellow, red, orange and brown, his dark eyes scanning the passersby for signs of his beloved girl friend.
Touya looked back down at his hands, which held bits and pieces of grass from having ripped it from the innocent ground. He had to break up with Yoko sooner or later. It wasn't like he didn't love her, it was just that he was a man of honor. At the age of 28, going on to 29 (he shuddered at the thought) in a couple months, he didn't deem it necessary to be any form of a player. As a matter of fact, he looked down upon them.
Sure if he were a good for nothing bastard, he would continue with his life with Yoko, even if he was wedded to a bitchy Chinese spoilt brat, but life had its reasons. But then again, where was the brat anyhow? If she didn't turn up within the time limit set by her parents, he could go on with Yoko. Touya was scared to even hope in case his bubble of sunshine would be popped in such a disheartening manner that he wouldn't be able to tolerate the brat the way he was right now.
"Touya!" A beautiful young lady with red hair barely touching her angelically white shoulders stood smiling in front of him.
"Mm...who are you?" He asked, looking at her quizzically. His eyes gazed along her lithe form in a simple gray hoodie over a white tank top and light blue jean capris.
"Mou... Touya." She pouted slightly, before breaking out in a wide grin and sitting besides him.
"Is there a reason you are sitting next to me? Can I help you in anyway ma'am?" Touya still looked at this woman with a slightly bemused expression, yet he could not keep the humor out of his voice especially as his mouth was widening into a smile.
"Hmph. Fine, be a mean person... and to think... today is probably one of the last days we'll be together..." Yoko's voice trailed off. She hadn't meant for that to come out in such a hurt tone. She wanted to joke around and be carefree, yet she couldn't help but feel forlorn even at her own words.
"Yoko, what do you want to do today?" Touya asked gently letting his head fall to her comforting shoulder trying to ignore the happiness that was ebbing away from his heart at her slightly distressed words.
"Let's just stay, stay together quietly." She replied closing her eyes and trying to think of happy things.
Touya had no problem with that. She always seemed to know what he needed the most, and today, all he wanted was to spend this precious time with her. Yoko already knew that her dearest Touya had his own ideals he needed to follow, and she knew their time together was short, but she also knew that crying over spilt milk did nothing to help anyone. She was going to make the best of her time with her only love.
"Touya?" Yoko called out to him timidly, her voice soft as a slight blush crept into her cheeks.
"Hmm..?" He answered, waiting for her to talk again, the blush on her face unnoticed.
"Let's spend the night together..."
Touya didn't move except to squeeze her hand gently. "Let's spend eternity together..." he breathed out. His eyes were closed and he let all his problems free, only concentrating on him and Yoko.
"I wish we could do that." She sighed, her beautiful eyes filling with tears. She didn't want to let him go, not to someone that didn't even love him as much as she did with all her heart.
"Me too, Yoko... me too." He sat up, lifting his head off her slender shoulder. Helping her up from the ground, he then crouched. "I'll give you a piggy-back ride to your house." He whispered in a slightly mischievous manner. His head turned away from her though as the sparkle in his eyes turned to mist, and he suddenly felt an aching pang... like he was going to cry.
Yoko giggled. "Touya that's about a mile away from this park."
Touya smiled, hearing her soft giggling made his imminent tears suddenly disappear. "It's okay, we'll spend the time talking, you'll be my strength, and then...then I'll stay the night." Touya felt nervous, he never had been as intimate with Yoko to go so far as to make love. He believed it was a sacred thing for loving married couples. But perhaps, since he wasn't going to ever make love to his wife-to-be, he could give up his everything and receive Yoko's in return knowing that she would forever be his, and he would forever be hers.
"Touya?" Yoko leaned her head against Touya's warm back.
"Hmm..?" Came his soft reply.
"I...I love you."
"And I you, Yoko."
Elsewhere
"Shh shut up!" Eriol quieted the others.
The giggling and quiet whispers still continued.
"Guys come on, they're gonna be back soon." He begged the freaking crazy girls. It was funny that such an eloquent man as Eriol was now practically whining.
"Did you know, that surprise birthday parties originated about 10,000 years ago. The first one that was held was for an old king, and he actually died with the shock of surprise."
"Really?"
"Yep, and then a war broke out because the king was dead and so many people wanted to take the throne. Once it was banned from a place in Africa because the surprises had caused such a commotion."
"Hai, hai..." Chiharu sighed with exasperation tugging at the liar's ear as a sign to tell him to shut up.
"You mean to tell me what Yamazaki said wasn't true?"
"GUYS SHUT UP!" Eriol yelled out before he realized he heard voices outside, therefore lowering his own.
"Tomoyo, did you honestly have to spend such a copious amount of time at the 'Fabrics and Such' store. I think you would've nearly emptied it, if I hadn't been there with you." Sakura sweet voice drifted down the hallway alerting those inside Sakura and Tomoyo's apartment of her coming arrival.
"Ah, Saku that's the reason I brought you with me. I'm so happy that they finally made a decent place to buy fabrics and thread, and even patterns and lace trimmings and ribbons..."
Sakura started to tune out her OVERLY excited friend's voice as she searched for the keys to open the apartment door. "Tomoyo do you have the-"
"...and oh they had such a large selection, think of all the dresses I can make on you..." Tomoyo was completely oblivious to everything but the memories of shopping at a designer's wonderland.
"Never mind then..." Sakura's sweat dropped. "AH! I found it!" Sakura let out a sweet giggle as she unlocked the door, completely missing the fact that Tomoyo had taken a video camera out of one of her many bags getting ready to tape.
"SURPRISE!!!" The group hiding inside there apartment had yelled out when Sakura had turned the lights on.
"HoeEeEe!" The shock of it all had made her jump in fright. Her hand held to her chest, she was about to give a death glare to all, but then realized what wonderful friends she had as everyone came to hug her and show her some love.
Syaoran
Two figures stood on the balcony of the apartment. Curtains swayed behind them and the table held two glasses and a bottle of champagne.
"How long are you going to be gone for?" Syaoran encircled his arms around Maya's waste hugging her body to his own.
"Will you miss me?" Maya reached up to give him a small kiss on his lips putting her arms around his neck and slowly dancing to the gentle music.
"Depends..."
"SYAORAN!" Maya mock glared at him and he smirked at her.
"Baka..." she mumbled against his neck then gently kissed the spot she had just mumbled against. "I'm not going to be gone long, just two weeks. But it is important business work and I have to go."
"You'll miss my wedding." Syaoran said playfully.
"Oh no..., and I was so looking forward to seeing my only love be taken away from me." She replied sarcastically.
Syaoran grinned. He was actually supposed to be at the surprise party for Kinomoto but he was sure they wouldn't miss him. Besides, he would much rather prefer being with Maya.
"You're not going to go on a honeymoon... are you?"
"Not unless it's with you."
Maya sighed with relief, leaning her head against his shoulder as they swayed to the music.
"Perhaps I'll fly to France after Kinomoto and I move into the new house." Syaoran looked down at her.
"Would you really? Then I wouldn't be alone, and you'd be with me."
"I'd do anything for you."
Syaoran kissed her hair and looked at the view of a bustling city and large full moon with a couple stars straining to shine against the city's lights.
"Syaoran?"
"Hmm?"
"You'll always love me...right?"
"Always."
"Me too."
One, two skip a few now it's time for a Wedding! :]
Sakura smiled gently thinking of the things that had happened at her birthday party. Everything was so much fun and she was very glad to see many of her old school friends. 'So that was what Tomoyo had meant at the engagement party.' Sakura thought.
Chiharu was officially married to Takashi and it was so exciting to hear about how she wanted a baby. Naoko was a teacher and Sakura knew she would definitely be a great one. Rika was dating a guy named Terada Yoshiyuki and everyone really wanted to see him, which is why Sakura asked Rika to bring him to the wedding, which they were all officially invited to. Although a couple people asked about Li, she was glad that he hadn't come and no one seemed to really care much either. Of course nothing could have happened if it weren't for Tomoyo and Eriol. They had put this together and it was all thanks to them that Sakura had gotten to see her old friends.
She definitely couldn't wait to see everyone together again.
Sakura stood in front of the mirror (once again) alone in the room. The wedding dress that Tomoyo had made flowing gracefully around her. Her gentle honey colored locks twisted into a complex up-do with slightly curling tendrils of her pretty hair framing her delicate face. Her makeup was soft, like always, relying on her beautiful features. She is the type of person who didn't need makeup to look gorgeous.
"All I ever wanted, was to be happy." Sakura whispered to her reflection as a silent tear dropped down her face. "Who knew it could be so hard?" She put a hand up against the mirror. "I wish I didn't feel so selfish. I wish..."
"Sakura, you're not a selfish person." Yukito's gentle voice broke her reverie. Sakura looked at him through the mirror, staring into his sparkling golden eyes. "Smile tenshi, a frown isn't meant to be on your face."
"Yuki..." Sakura turn taking a step toward the person she harbored feelings for.
"Shh... don't say a word." Yukito took her in his arms holding her gingerly. He rubbed her back lightly in attempts to reassure her as she rested her head against his shoulder. "Everyone wants to be happy, for some people it just takes a little bit longer. You'll get through this eventually and no matter what, don't let anything get you down." Yukito pulled slightly away from her to look into her eyes. "You just keep your head up and smile." With that he gave her a gentle kiss against her lush pink lips.
"Yukito..." Sakura mumbled as he pulled away.
"You have a wedding to go to now, my dear." He winked. "Can't have me causing a scandal, think of the trouble." His sweat dropped just thinking about all the problems that could arise if he stayed with Sakura any longer, especially when it was right before her wedding. "Good luck, Sakura-chan." He said leaving the room with a slight wave of his hand and a cute grin that made her smile. "Remember keep smiling, angel.
Sakura was alone in the dressing room again, still staring at the doorway through which Yukito had left.
"SAKURA!!! ARE YOU CRAZY?? WHY ARE YOU STILL IN HERE? YOU HAVE FREAKKING 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE WEDDING!!!" Tomoyo burst through the doorway Sakura had been staring at screaming at the top of her lungs in panic.
"HoOEeEee! Tomoyo you scared me to fucking death!" Sakura was slightly bent over holding a hand to her chest.
"Well hurry up miss, you may not want to get married any time soon, but it would be a bad idea to dishonor yourself or the Lis in front of so many prominent people." Tomoyo started to fidget with Sakura, fixing a little bit of this, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, smoothing her dress, and pinching Sakura's cheeks to get a bit of color in them ("OW Tomoyo!"). Talk about déjà vu Sakura thought rolling her eyes slightly, but then again this is practically Tomoyo's job.
"Exactly how many people are here?" Sakura asked rubbing her cheeks.
"Oh I don't know, about 3000? Give or take a few hundred."
"HoeEee!" Sakura fell anime style. "Why are there so many?" Sakura was starting to feel very self-conscious.
"Don't be silly, there would've been more, but Yelan wanted a small wedding." Tomoyo replied casually.
"Small..." Sakura's sweat dropped.
"Come on now, we're practically late." Tomoyo pushed Sakura through the doors rushing towards the entrance leading to the sanctuary, to her doom. What an oxymoron... the sanctuary of doom. Sakura stifled a giggle at her own silly thoughts.
Before she could think any other silly thoughts she was at entrance, the music starting and her father waiting for her with a smile.
"Almost thought that you wouldn't make it in time." His eyes were reassuring as she took his arm.
"Well, I didn't really want to come but Tomoyo forced me." Sakura grumbled quietly so that only her dad would hear her.
He stifled a chuckle with a light cough. "She's a good friend don't you think?"
Sakura made a face under her veil.
They walked down the aisle, the form of her stupid husband to be looming ever nearer.
'His eyes are so empty of emotion.' Sakura couldn't help but let the thought cross her mind. She also couldn't help the fact that she enjoyed staring at his handsome features under the safety of her veil, but she was sure he knew that she was staring. When Syaoran turned his face slightly and looked her directly in the eyes, there was no doubt he knew that she had been staring at his face.
Sakura made another face, this time it was directed at him, and although she was sure no one could see it under her veil, an amused smile seemed to tug at his lips as if he had seen her anyway. 'Stupid, cocky bastard.' She grimaced as her dad gave her away to Syaoran. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid cocky bastard.'
Syaoran, clad in a fine tux and his hair all messy in a very sexy way, looked at her quizzically "Did you say something?"
To her surprise, Sakura realized that she had said that aloud. 'At least he didn't understand what I said.' she thought as she shook her head with a fake smile plastered on her face. Her eyes quickly took in his appearance and she smiled with content. 'He may be a stupid cocky bastard, but he sure is good looking.'
What she didn't know, was that Syaoran was thinking along the same lines about her.
The priest droned on, God knows how long the two had been standing here.
Sakura felt like she was going to fall asleep. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, instead it was the most wasteful in her opinion. Boring, and a complete waste of time are just a few ways to describe this current situation. 'Blah, blah, blah no one cares.' Sakura thought glaring at the completely oblivious priest under her veil.
She was still completely in her own world when Syaoran lifted the veil from her. Sakura hadn't noticed anything for awhile now and when Syaoran said "I do" and slipped the ring on her, she finally snapped out of her thoughts.
She heard the priest drone on about her side of the vows and rather than look at Syaoran's cold amber eyes she looked into the audience. "Yukito..." Sakura softly whispered, she hoped that no one heard, but Syaoran had.
Syaoran watched Sakura as her eyes were completely locked on the audience. 'Who's Yukito?' He thought.
Then he realized that Sakura hadn't heard the priest finish the question as to whether or not she would take his hand in marriage. "Sakura..." he whispered. "Sakura..." She still wouldn't look up.
"Sakura..." Finally she looked up with a dazed expression.
"Huh?"
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Say 'I do'" He whispered.
"Why?" Sakura was still not thinking straight.
"Ahem." The priest coughed slightly and Sakura eyes opened wide with realization.
"Oh.. yea... I do." She announced slightly with a tinge of red in her cheeks and she slipped the ring on his finger.
"You may now kiss the bride."
"Do we have to...?" Sakura whispered more to herself than any one else.
Syaoran just disregarded the comment and gave her a small peck against her lips while she still wasn't paying attention so that it would be over quickly.
Sakura didn't even know what happened just the fact that it was all over and that everyone stood up to cheer and applaud. She stared a little bit dazed at Syaoran who just grabbed her hand and took off down the aisle, the other hand wave at the audience, a fake smile on his face and void eyes that pretended to be happy for the sake of everyone else.
Meilin
Meilin stood silently in the back. Hidden in the most shadowed area of the large sanctuary where this wedding was to take place. Her long hair was pulled back and hidden under a sand-colored headscarf (matching her tan over coat), her crimson eyes covered by dark sunglasses, and her ruby red lips thin with hidden emotion. The only thing, the only person, the only love of her life, was being taken away. Well it's not like the fact that he was married to someone he didn't love would change things, it was just the whole situation.
She already knew that he was quite the stubborn fellow and would by no means whatsoever be faithful to his enemy regardless of virtues and whatnot. He would still have Maya and would probably hurt Sakura even more in the process.
Meilin knew she herself was much more important than Maya in Syaoran's heart, and who the hell cares about the other girl. The situation in total just included the fact that she was engaged as well. It just seemed too complicated.
With the fact that she's run away, it wouldn't make sense that she could all of a sudden come back and still marry the Toyue guy. And then to still have an affair with Syaoran who would be having another one with Maya while god knows what the Sakura bitch is going to do is far too much. And if ever Syaoran were to divorce Sakura and marry Maya then Meilin would still be "the other woman".
Meilin didn't want that at all. She wanted to be legitimately married to Syaoran. She wanted to marry him the first time round and not wait until he's through with everyone else. "I mean sure I could seduce him and get him to break up with Maya and love me instead, but I'd still be second to the stupid bitch." Meilin mumbled to herself. This was all too much. It would be better if she could just, say her good-byes to him today and then never come back.
A few tears slowly trickled down her smooth complexion as her shaded crimson eyes watched him. She watched Syaoran with all her heart barely hearing the sounds around her. The wedding march, the 'ooo's and 'ah's of the appreciative audience at Sakura's appearance, the droning of the priest, and the wedding vows exchanged. Meilin cared for none of it except for Syaoran's handsome face void of expression. Every contour of his face, the curve of his lips, the detracting and expanding of his nostrils as he breathed (a/n: LOLS?? I don't know...) and the messy brown locks untamed further by his gel in his trademark hairstyle, no trait went unnoticed by Meilin's eyes. His never-ending amber eyes hid all emotion, but she knew how he felt. She always knew, she always believed that they were soul mates, and she will always believe so.
"I love you Syaoran. You may never feel the same for me. I don't care if you hate me, you don't even have to love me...but onegai my little wolf...never forget me."
Meilin slipped away from the sanctuary no longer willing to see the spectacle. She saw them kiss and she felt sick at the revolting transaction.
Walking as quickly as she could away from the church she accidentally bumped into a body. "Gomenasai." Meilin mumbled and was about to walk away but was held back by her wrist. "Excuse me but what the-"
"What are you doing here?" a deep male voice asked her in a slightly adamant yet still soft voice.
Meilin looked up at the speaker, getting ready to lash out with her sharp tongue only to meet the eyes of the person who she'd definitely did not want to see.
'Oh fucking great.'
A/N: UGH spacing stuffs doesn't work anymore.. it took me forever to get try and get this crap to work --; anyways to cut to the chase... this chapter sucked. I know it too. It was definitely not worth the wait and I'm a horrible person for leaving it there. It was also shorter and I'm sorry... I really am. I was just sick of this chapter cause I'd been mulling it over for about a month now and yea I just wanted it done. Forgive me? I'll try to do better on the next one.
Review please and muchos love everyone! :]
