Chapter Two: The wedding
Previously…
This is the beginning of the war. The start of destruction and peace will only happen if jealousy is destroyed.
It has been a day since Touya left and Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko already had announced the wedding of Sakura and Syaoran. About 10 of the kingdom was destroyed, and the king and queen were getting distress.
"Just because my son refuse to marry their daughter, Mika because she was only wanted him for the crown doesn't mean they can destroy our land. It's preposterous! I mean seriously, they start a war because she was dumped for a good reason," Enraged Fujitaka, while he walked back and forth in his office where everyone was. "God damn YOSHIDA'S! except for Chihori. I can't blame you for running away. I see why you had too."
Chihori nodded and laughed with Sakura because of her father's outburst.
"Honey dear, please stop walking back and forth please. You might damage the floor boards," Nadeshiko said gracefully.
"Fine," Fujitaka sat down next to his wife.
"What are we going to do?" Sakura asked
"Knock some bloody sense into my bloody family's mind!" Chihori slammed her fist so hard on the couch that it her cry out, "OWIE!" and rubbed her fist.
"Whoa," Sakura was amazed how she could hate her family.
"Look, I have lived with them all my life and I was treated like an unwanted dog. I wasn't loved; the only person who often cared about me was my brother Genji but most of the time he just stood by my parents and did what they told him to do, because he was afraid that he'll become an outcast like me, and won't have the throne," Chihori explained.
"Aww, Poor you! Well, if you stay in this kingdom, or stay on our side, you will never and I mean NEVER treat you like an outcast," Sakura hugged Chihori.
"I know. I already feel like I'm welcomed here very much anyway. Thing is I'm afraid to interfere your family, so I'll be finding a home tomorrow," Chihori said with a smile.
"No! you can't, your young and not only that your royalty! You need to be protected and plus you're like a little sister to me. Please don't go!" Sakura begged.
"But, I will feel like I'm intruding your family moments," Chihori explained.
"Look Chihori, You have been a very big help to us and not only help, but you've lightened our hearts, you made us happy and cheerful. When we go out for outings, it's like your part of the family. Part of our family," Nadeshiko walked towards Chihori and held her hands softly. "You're like a second daughter to me, and if something happened to you, it'll kill me like it would kill me if something happened to Sakura,"
"I agree, Chihori, although you weren't loved by your old family doesn't mean you can't be loved by your new family," smiled Fujitaka.
"What do you mean?" Chihori didn't get what Sakura's father is trying to say.
"You part of our family, Chihori," Sakura explained further.
"You can change your surname to Kinomoto, if you want to," Nadeshiko grinned.
"Wait, hold on, are you saying that I'm in your family as in, mother, father, brother and sister?" Chihori asked.
"Yep" Sakura answered.
"…" Chihori was speechless.
"So what do you say?" Fujitaka asked.
"Hell yeah! Sorry, I mean yes," Chihori accepted their offer. "When do I change my surname?"
"Whoa, very eager huh?" Fujitaka asked, "Ari!" Fujitaka called out for the family's personal maid.
"Yes, your majesty?" a lady aged 60 walked in.
"Please get the judge," Fujitaka ordered.
"Yes, your majesty," then Ari, the maid scurried out of the room.
10 minutes later
The swung opened gently and an old man around his 70's walked in.
"Good day, your majesty, walk can I do for you today?" The judge asked kneeling in front of the King.
"I would like you to change the surname of Princess Chihori over there," Fujitaka lifted his hand to where Chihori was sitting.
"Certainly," the judge turned, "Chihori Yoshida, you are granted to be a Kinomoto, I declare you name to be Chihori Kinomoto, please print your old name here and write you new name here," The judge gave Chihori the papers. Chihori signed them and smiled like she never smiled before.
"Please welcome, the new me. Chihori Kinomoto." Chihori announced.
"Now you will call us mother and father," Nadeshiko hugged the newest member of the family.
The next day
The news of the newest member of the royal family was published on the newspapers that morning and the news spread from that. Sonomi, Yelan, Tomoyo, Eriol, and Syaoran came into the kingdom and greeted and welcomed Chihori. Every one sat in the lounge and drank either tea or coffee.
"I would, like to welcome Chihori to the family. As you all know that she was treated badly before she came here. Ok, down to business. As you all know that the Yoshida's are attacking, their army is as big as the Li's. They are also getting help from the Arai, Fukazarwa and Yamashita Kingdom. Those armies put together as one, god knows what that'll do," Fujitaka sat down.
"He's right you know," Yelan agreed. "If we don't get ready, will be all dead by the time we gather our armies. Arai are known for having no mercy and trust me they can fight very well. If you surrender, they'll kill you instantly, unless you have information. They'll torture you until you tell them. Fukasarwa are known for making one of the land's best weapons but I think they have shortages of resources so they won't be making many weapons," Yelan laughed, "thing is, they know how to use their weapons very well. The Yamashita's are closely related to the Yoshidas. Apparently the Yamashita's are quite stubborn and stupid. They even follow the Yoshida's orders, it's almost like the Yoshida's own them," Yelan tutted.
"No, it's more like the Yoshida's rule them," Chihori added and laughed, "but, they do have a strong army though."
"Why don't we mix our armies up? I mean we all have different level of armies," Sonomi suggested.
"What do you mean by mix up our armies?" Nadeshiko asked.
"I think Queen Sonomi is trying to suggest to combine our armies into one. When we split them up in groups, the group will have at least have a Kinomoto, Daidouji or a Li's soilder," Syaoran explained.
"That's a good idea, so then we have a mixture of weapons to," Fujitaka smiled.
"I think we should organise the army at the Li's kingdom since they still think that the Li's are neutral. We need a quarter of our armies to stay here though just in case they attack," Nadeshiko suggested.
"No need dear, all we have to do is write a letter to the soldiers and give them the group number and tell them when and where to meet," Fujitaka said.
"What about Touya and the Akizuki's?" Sakura asked.
"If we are in desperate needs, we will ask for their help, but the Yoshida's think that Touya and his wife are here," Fujitaka answered.
"In the meantime, we should prepare for the wedding!" Tomoyo cheered happily.
"Yes, I agree, it'll lighten up our mood," Nadeshiko grinned but Sakura's face saddened.
x-z-x Sakura's POV x-z-x
I should be happy; I mean I'm marrying a rich, handsome bachelor that every girl is after. A smile from him will melt each and every girl in the land, but why do I feel so sad? I do love him, but ever since war broke out, I feel… depress. I wish I could have married before Touya. It would have been the happiest day of my life. With Touya and Nakuru not there, it wouldn't be complete.
"If anyone needs me I'm going to be in my room," I put on a fake happy voice.
"Wait, Sakura let me come with you," Syaoran stood up and put his hand around my shoulders.
In Sakura's bedroom
x-z-x Normal POV x-z-x
"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked.
"Nothing" Sakura lied.
"Look, I watched you just then. Don't tell me there's nothing wrong. I know something is bothering you," Syaoran's face turned serious. Sakura started to cry,
"It's just that, I have dreamed of having the most perfect and beautiful wedding since I was a little girl. And I know our wedding would not be even close to my dream because my brother and his wife won't be there,"
"Come here, Sakura," Syaoran hugged Sakura and kissed her forehead, "but they'll be there in your heart," he lifted his hand up and placed it on her chest.
"Sakura, Syaoran get out of the room! We're going shopping!" Tomoyo called out.
Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the bedroom and saw Tomoyo and Eriol standing in front of them.
"Syaoran your going Tuxedo shopping with Eriol, while I take your fiancée wedding dress shopping!" Tomoyo grabbed onto Sakura's arm and dragged her towards the door.
THE GIRLS
"C'mon Sakura, your wedding is in two days! We need to find you a beautiful wedding dress! What about this shop Sparkles," Tomoyo hyperactively pulled her in the store.
"Ai ya, Tomoyo, your so hyper! What did you eat or drink this morning?" Sakura laughed.
"I had a bowl of cereal and a big glass of red cordial," answered Tomoyo enthusiastically.
"No wonder she's high," Sakura muttered,
"What did you say Sakura?" Tomoyo wasn't paying attention to Sakura because she was too absorbed with wedding dresses that surrounded her.
"Nothing, Nothing," Sakura shook her head innocently, but then something caught her eye and she ran towards it. It was a simple wedding dress, simple but beautiful. She turned her head and looked at Tomoyo who was muttering "Too colourful," "Too plain," "Too Ghastly," "Too glittery," "Too much," "Too long," "Too short," "Too Lacey," "Too leathery," while flicking through some dresses.
"Tomoyo come here," Sakura yelled out.
Tomoyo stopped what she was doing and looked at the dress that Sakura was standing next too.
"OH MY LORD! Look at this dress! It's PERFECT! And look it has a matching veil, gloves and shoes! Come on Sakura try it on! Tomoyo softly grabbed the dress, gloves and shoes towards the closes fitting room and ushered Sakura in it. Then she sat back down on the couch near where Sakura found the dress. She noticed a magazine called Best Dress Best Hairstyle. She then flipped through the page until she found the same dress that Sakura was trying out. She looked at the hairstyles and found the most perfect hairstyle that'll suit Sakura very well. Sakura waked out of the fitting room and faced Tomoyo. Tomoyo lifted up her head and was amazed. The simple white strapless dress with sprinkles of glitter on it made Sakura look like an angel, the veil was perfect, not too poofy and not too droopy. The gloves fitted perfectly on Sakura's hands. The high heeled shoes were also white and had an even amount of glitter on it.
"Sakura, you look… amazing! Oh my god! My best friend Sakura is getting married!" Tomoyo cried out. "Syaoran will be over the moon!" When Tomoyo yelled out "Syaoran" everyone in the store turned and looked at Sakura, the princess that is engaged with the number one bachelor of the land. The face on the shop owner was a happy and congratulating, while the faces on mostly all customers and workers were angry, full of jealousy and was shooting daggers at Sakura.
"Opps," Tomoyo looked at everyone's faces. "Well umm, does the dress fit?"
"Yep, it perfectly fits, there is no need for altering," Sakura grinned nervously.
They walked towards the shop owner and asked for the dress with the same size.
"Here we go," she gave Sakura a big bag with the dress folded nicely in a box, shoes and gloves.
"How much does that cost miss?" Sakura asked politely.
"that's 83,650 yen" the shop owner replied. (A/N: 83,650 Yen is $1000 in Australian dollars; $733 in US dollars; £416.10 in British Pound)
"Ok, I'm writing a cheque for 85,000 yen, you can keep the change," Sakura smile and wrote in her cheque book, then handed the cheque to the owner.
"Thank you very much Princess Sakura and nice to see you Princess Tomoyo," she then walked out of the counter and she both of their hands.
THE GUYS
Both Eriol and Syaoran walked down the rich street of the Kinomoto's kingdom. All the girls were staring admiringly at then particularly Syaoran while the guys on the street were shooting daggers at them. One came up to Syaoran and said seductively,
"Hey, Syaoran, Leave that fiancée of yours and come with me,"
Syaoran disgustedly looked at the whore in front of him.
"One, No; two, if you call my first name informally in MY kingdom you would have been severely punished but since this is not in my kingdom I have no say whatsoever so count yourself lucky; three, I love my fiancée very much, and there is no way in hell I'll leave her and if you don't mind my friend and I have business to do," Syaoran spoke icily and walked off leaving the bewildered girl being laughed at.
"That's funny, you sound so serious!" Eriol laughed
"Eriol, I was serious. You would have acted like that if a girl came up to you and said what ever she said," Syaoran stating the fact.
"True," Eriol admitted.
"Let's check out this store, Formal Suits," Syaoran pointed out.
Syaoran tried on a black suit with a white business shirt and a black bow tie.
"Hey what about this flower man?" Eriol held up a wedding type of flower brooch up.
"That's awesome," Syaoran agreed and headed to towards the desk.
"Excuse me, I would like to purchase this suit and this brooch," Syaoran politely asked.
"Yes, Prince Syaoran," the guy at the desk bowed. "That comes to, 21,000 yen sir," The guy at the desk replied. (A/N: 21,000 yen is, $250 Australian dollar; $183.25 US dollars; £104 in British Pounds)
The wedding
The day has come for Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura walked down the aisle with her father next to her. As they reached to the altar her father let go and Sakura walked towards the happy and handsome looking Syaoran.
"We gather here today, to celebrate the union of Prince Syaoran of the Li kingdom and Princess Sakura of the Kinomoto Kingdom," The priest introduced and carried on with the wedding.
When they did their vows, The priest pronounced them,
"I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride,"
Syaoran kissed her and everyone in the church "awed"
It was a small wedding, but it turned out to be their best day of their lives, even though it wasn't Sakura's 'DREAM' wedding. Tomoyo cried happily and hugged her cousin/ bestfriend.
That night, Sakura and Syaoran shared a bed together since they are now husband and wife.
"So, did you have fun today?" Syaoran smiled while hugging his new wife in bed.
"Yup, the best part was when you kissed me," Sakura smiled and leaned forward to kiss Syaoran and Syaoran deepened the kiss.
