Here Come the Bride
Chapter 2
"Hello." Said a deep voice from the doorway. "My cute little descendant."
Shaoran nearly fell out of his chair in disbelief. He was afraid to turn around to look at the owner of the voice, because it may confirm what he knew already. He turned to his mother.
"This," Shaoran said incredulously. "This is who my fiancé is going to be?"
His mother looked at him rather calmly, giving him the 'must-I-explain-it-again?' look.
Suddenly, the owner of the deep voice was next to Shaoran.
"Why Shaoran," he pouted. "That's no way to treat your fiancé."
Shaoran refused to look at the owner of the deep voice.
"For god sakes mother!" Shaoran's voice rose. "HE'S MY ANCESTOR!"
"Be that as it may," Shaoran's mother answered. "We deemed him the best fiancé for you."
Shaoran's eyes bulged with the effort of containing his anger.
"Him!" He practically shouted, pointing at the guy next to him.
In a flash, Shaoran's new fiancé had cupped Shaoran's chin, and forced Shaoran to look at him. Shaoran found himself looking into the azure eyes of Eriol Hiiragizawa, and azure met amber.
"Yes Shaoran." He said. "Me."
"We thought he could train you to be stronger in magic, as well as teaching you how to be more calm."
There was a hint of a smirk on Shaoran's mother's face.
Shaoran tore his eyes away from Eriol's, yet Eriol's hand still held Shaoran's chin. Shaoran looked at his mom and opened his mouth to say something, but she cut him off.
"You are to argue no further Shaoran."
"But-" Shaoran began.
"No! This," she pointed at Eriol as she spoke, "is your fiancé, whether you like it or not."
Shaoran stared, shocked beyond belief.
"Though, I think, it would be more pleasant if you liked your fiancé…." She added as an afterthought.
Shaoran kept on staring, not realizing his chin was still being held by Eriol's slender fingers.
"What's wrong my cute little descendant?" Eriol turned Shaoran's face so he could look into Shaoran's amber eyes. "Don't you like me?"
Eriol pouted a bit, and Shaoran had to admit – the pout was kinda cute.
No! Shaoran thought. Eriol Hiiragizawa was NOT cute! He looked down away from Eriol. His mind worked furiously, trying to find a way to get him out of this. He thought of Sakura, but no doubt he would have to face her brother Touya. Shaoran looked up at Eriol, then over at his mother. Seeing no reprise from either of them, he sighed.
"I see my kawaii little descendant has finally realized his situation." Eriol said, with one of his 'evil-ish' Clow Reed smile.
Shaoran's mother raised a questioning eyebrow at Shaoran. Shaoran sighed again, and nodded.
"Good." Shaoran's mother nodded. "I always knew Shaoran had some sense."
Shaoran finally realized that his chin was still in Eriol's hand. He tore his face away from Eriol's grasp and glared at him. Eriol just smiled.
"Hn." Shaoran growled.
"Now, now Shao-kun." Eriol said pleasantly, obviously noticing Shaoran's death glare at his pet name. "If we are to be married, we need to be able to be comfortable around each other."
Eriol proceeded to hug Shaoran. Shaoran stiffened, and was about to push Eriol off, or yell at him at least, but at a look from his mother, he reluctantly put his hands on Eriol's shoulders.
"There now." Said Eriol as he released Shaoran, who had already taken his hands from Eriol's shoulders (gladly I might add). "Was that so hard?"
Shaoran opened his mouth to answer, and again his mother cut him off.
"As fiancé's, you two are to move into a house by yourselves."
When Shaoran heard this, he almost went into a ranting rage. If he had not remembered at the last second who he was talking to, he would have gone off on said ranting rage. His mouth worked furiously, trying to come up with a reply that would convey his anger, distaste, and pure indignation, without being disrespectful.
Eriol smiled at how furiously Shaoran's mouth moved.
"You are to stay in a manor on the other side of the city to have some privacy."
Shaoran did not like the tone of her voice as his mother said those words.
"You have some manors that you can choose from. Wei will accompany you, along with a few other servants, as well as Eriol's guardians." She continued. "You will be given full access to our funds."
Shaoran gaped as she nodded at Eriol.
"You also have your rather large fortune."
Eriol smiled.
"D-Don't I get a say in this?" Shaoran managed.
"Of course." Shaoran's mother said smoothly. "You get to chose where you stay, and you can control the Li money."
She shrugged at looked at Shaoran.
"Other than that….No, you don't really have a say in this."
Shaoran nearly passed out. No………say………whatsoever?
Shaoran's world reeled.
"So," Shaoran's mother was saying. "What do you say? You could always stay here in this mansion."
Shaoran opened his mouth, but Eriol said something first.
""We'd love to!" Eriol said as he smiled at Shaoran.
End
What will happen? Will Shaoran agree to move in with Eriol? Stay tuned to find out! R & R!
