Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING BUT THE PLOT


Chapter 6

"L…Li"

Sakura's voice was barely audible because of the machines but Syaoron still heard her. He sat down next to her bed in the chair and looked at her for a minute. The silence was killing him; he needed to know if she remembered him or if she still had the amnesia.

"Are you ok?" Syaoron asked.

Sakura just nodded in reply.

"Well Ms. Kinomoto, you'll be happy to know that your company is fine and nothing bad has happened." Syaoron informed.

"…"

"The board will be happy to know that you've woken up and the doctor's said you'll be able to get back to work in a few weeks." Syaoron continued.

"Syaoron…" Sakura whispered.

"Yeah?" Syaoron looked up at her.

"Stop calling me Ms. Kinomoto." She said and smiled.

"Sa-Sakura? You remember?…Everything?" Syaoron gaped.

"Yeah I do."

Syaoron just grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug which Sakura returned. He prayed with all his might that this wasn't a dream and she wasn't just an illusion.

"Sy-Syaoron I can't breathe." Sakura coughed out.

Syaoron let go and mumbled an apology.

"So…how long have I been out?" Sakura asked.

"About 3 months." Syaoron replied.

"Dang…that's a long time. My stocks haven't gone down because of this have they?"

"Don't worry about the company, I took care of everything." Syaoron assured her. "Although….you should call your aunt, and Tomoyo. They're really worried about you."

"Ok, but first tell me what's going on with the company." Sakura pressed on.

"Fine fine, the company's stocks are up 50; I had to fire about 65 of the workers in your Japan Branch 'cause…well they're just incompetent losers." Syaoron started.

Sakura giggled and nodded. "I was going to fire them anyway. So anything else I should know about?"

"Well…" Syaoron hesitated.

"Well what?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

"Well, mother's been nagging me about getting married and since your parents did betroth us…she's trying to get your aunt to make you marry me…so to speak." Syaoron rambled.

"WHAT! I can't get married now! I'm only 18, not even legal age to drink. How could Auntie Yelan want us to get married when we're only 18!" Sakura shrieked.

Syaoron looked a bit disappointed but hid his reaction right away.

"I totally agree Sakura, I mean with the merger and everything …and the company…it…it's really not the best time to get married." He mumbled.

Sakura saw right through him and felt bad for what she had said earlier.

"Syaoron…it's not that I don't want to marry you, you know that. It's just…we're still young and we've got our whole lives ahead of us. I just don't want to rush things." Sakura hugged him and whispered, "You'd make the perfect husband".

Syaoron's heart lightened hearing her say that and he smiled as she pulled away.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" Tomoyo cried running in. She immediately pounced on Sakura giving her a bone-crushing hug. "When did you wake up!"

"Tomoyo…I can't breathe" Sakura wheezed out.

Blushing sheepishly, Tomoyo let go of her and whispered an apology.

"I woke up just before. Tomoyo, you know Syaoron Li right? My uh…business partner." Sakura said.

"Yes of course, who doesn't know him? Tomoyo Daidouji." Tomoyo introduced herself and shook his hand.

"Pleased to meet you." Syaoron accepted the gesture and turned to Sakura, "I'd like to stay but I ran out of a meeting when I got the call so I better get back. I'll see you later than." He added towards Tomoyo. "Please watch over her."

"So…" Tomoyo started.

"So what?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

"So, new romance blossoming between you and mister big bucks?" Tomoyo teased.

"If you haven't noticed, I'm worth twice what he's worth okay."

"Still…I dunno, the way he talked to you…sounds like someone's in love." Tomoyo laughed. "Is there gonna be a marriage with this merger?"

"TOMOYO! Are you crazy, I'm only 18! Sheesh."

"Well, why are you so friendly with Li then. Before your accident you were all 'our relationship is strictly professional'. What's changed?" Tomoyo inquired.

"I…I got my memory back." Sakura whispered.

"What on earth is that supposed to mean?"

"I had amnesia before, since I was 8 or 9. I used to live in Tomoeda with my parents and my family was friends with the Li's. When I was 8, my family got into a car accident; my parents died and I was in a coma. When I woke up, my aunt took me to New York and I had amnesia." Sakura explained.

"There's something you're not telling me Sakura, you can't hide anything from me remember." Tomoyo pressed on.

"I-I'm betrothed…to Syaoron." She said the last part quietly.

"WHAT! So you are gonna marry him? Can I make the dress?" Tomoyo asked.

"Tomoyo! This is not the time for that. I'm not getting married. Syaoron and I agreed that we are too young to get married, even if Auntie Yelan is pressing him about it." Sakura admitted.

Tomoyo and Sakura continued to discuss what she should do for the next few hours until Tomoyo had to leave for a photo shoot.

---Meanwhile at Li Corp HQ---

Syaoron entered the Conference Room; his secretary had contacted all the board and executive members for an emergency meeting.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, first I'd like to apologize for running out during the meeting. I had received an urgent message that could not wait until afterwards. On a lighter note, Ms. Kinomoto has awakened from her coma and will be released in a week. Of course, I will be returning all control of her company to her." Syaoron informed.

For the next hour, Syaoron covered all the issues and was briefed about the new project the tech crew was starting. After the meeting, Syaoron returned to his office.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li called before; she'd like you to call her back immediately." His secretary said.

"Thank you."

Syaoron walked towards his desk, sat down and dialed the Li Mansion phone number.

"Li Residence." Wei, the butler said.

"Wei, it's Syaoron, could you get my mother on the phone please."

"Yes Master Li."

"Syaoron dear?" His mother's voice came on the speaker.

"Yes mother, it's me. I was informed that you called before. Is anything wrong?" Syaoron asked.

"No, just the usual. Has Sakura woken up dear?" Yelan heard of the accident and has called Syaoron everyday since to see if she had woken up yet.

"Yes mother, she has, and her memory has returned. But before you do anything rash mother, Sakura and I are NOT getting married, at least, not now anyway." Syaoron continued. "We're still young and we can wait a couple of years.

"Quiet Syaoron, your marriage to Sakura has been planned ever since she was born. Nothing you say can change that." Yelan stated firmly.

"Mother, Sakura doesn't want to get married now. We can wait a few years." Syaoron said thoroughly exasperated.

"Don't worry about Sakura, I'll have a talk with her as soon as she's released. I'll talk to you soon son."

Syaoron just sighed and hung up the phone. There was no winning against the stubbornness of Yelan Li.

----A Week Later----

Sakura was being released today, finally. She had been getting so restless that she drove all the nurses insane, although she didn't mean to. Syaoron, Tomoyo and Eriol came to escort her back to Tomoyo's house. They didn't need her to get into another accident.

Sakura introduced Eriol to Syaoron and after that, they all knew each other so might as well get the restless girl out of the stuffy hospital.

"YAY I'm going home…in a matter of speaking." Sakura cheered.

"Calm down Sakura. The doctor said not to get too worked up." Eriol warned.

"Stop being such a party-pooper Eriol. Anyway, when are you and Tomoyo tying the knot?" Sakura teased.

"Soon," Tomoyo winked at Eriol who smiled back, "very soon."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Sakura asked surprised.

"Nothing. Speaking of tying the knot, what about you and Syaoron?" Tomoyo asked.

"What about us?" Syaoron asked when he heard his name.

"I thought you guys are betrothed. When's the wedding? I get to make the dress." Tomoyo ranted on and on.

Syaoron and Sakura just exchanged looks and laughed.

"Uh Sakura…mother wants you over for dinner…tonight." Syaoron mumbled.

"Tonight! Aww Syaoron do I have to?" Sakura whined.

"You know my mother. Don't ask me that question." Syaoron threw up his hands in surrender.

"Darn it." Sakura sighed.

---Li Mansion---

After the 3 months Sakura was out, it had officially become summer, and with summer comes out the dresses and skirts. Sakura arrived at the Li Mansion at 7:30 p.m. She was wearing a cherry blossom print summer dress and light pink strap sandals. Her hair was curled and there were pins in the sides of her head. Not that she didn't always look beautiful, but that night, she looked radiant.

Syaoron was waiting for her outside the Li Mansion. As soon as he saw her, his eyes nearly popped outta his head. She saw him staring at her and laughed to herself.

"Hi Syaoron." Sakura smiled. "You can stop gaping now."

"Huh?…Oh sorry Sakura, you look incredible." Syaoron said as he took her hand and led her inside.

The two walked into the mansion and towards the Dining Hall where they would be having dinner that night. Syaoron's four sisters were waiting and immediately pounced on poor Sakura.

"AHHHH THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER…LOOK AT HER CUTE LITTLE CHEEKS…SYAORON YOU MUST MARRY HER SHE IS SOOO ADORABLE" all four sisters cried out simultaneously. You'd think they'd planned out everything to say beforehand.

"Get off the poor girl at once!" the stern voice of Yelan Li rang out from the door.

Syaoron and Sakura turned towards the voice and saw Yelan standing with an air of elegance and a stern look on her face.

"Everyone take a seat, we have a lot to discuss tonight." Yelan commanded.

Sakura just turned towards Syaoron with a worried look on her face.

This is gonna be a long night, Syaoron thought.
