Author's Notes
I would like to thank everyone who submitted a review. Even the simplest review counts.
Thank you so much.
I'm really sorry for the long awaited update.. I was not having a good mood these days...- - due to the past heart break and other shits turning up... I'm sorry...
Sakura: Yeah! You kept us going!
Syaoran: Uhh… No comment. Everyone was saying that I am poor…and all thanks to that bratty girl.
Sakura: Me? Hey! I didn't do anything to you! Why you!
Syaoran: No! Not you! It's her! (points the author)
Tammi: Me?
Syaoran: (grinds teeth)
Tammi: Don't worry! You'll be happy in this chapter! So grab a ring, a pillow, and a white tux! (walks out)
Syaoran: Waaaah? What's this all about! Hey Tammi! Hey! … Ohhh… Here goes!
Chapter 18: Another Wedding-Like CelebrationAfter a few weeks Syaoran had returned to Japan, everything started to get settled. Touya was living on his own in a distant house with his wife, Mizuki, Sakura's grade 4 teacher. Sakura was again happy and Syaoran had occupied again his room in the Kinomoto house, but he's not a bodyguard anymore. And sometimes, he would sneak in the middle of the night just to go to Sakura's bedroom- Sakura's orders of course. Fujitaka was still the same although a few paper works had added- Sakura and Syaoran's engagement.
The sound of a door gently closed was heard in a dark bedroom. "Are you excited about tomorrow?" a girl in the dark shot up from her bed.
"Of course I am." A manly handsome voice was heard near the door. The man's footsteps can also be heard. It looks like he's walking over to the bed.
A hand rose, reaching for the man's hand and making him lay on the bed forcedly. "I'm so excited too…" Sakura whispered in Syaoran's ear as soon as he rested his head on her pillow.
She cuddled over to his side and let him wrap his arms around her. "You need to get a good night sleep…" he told her.
She could feel his warm breath touch her cheeks. She smiled at that. "Only if you sleep with me tonight..!"
His eyes widened, "what? You wanna touch me?"
"Touch you?" she responded innocently. "I just wanted you to sleep beside me tonight, you know? Snooze?"
"Just kidding..!" then he kissed her left chick. After that, he grasped the blanket laid on their feet. He pulled it over to them and covered their bodies with it. "Do I have to this every night?"
"Of course you have to!" she exclaimed. "Last night, you weren't here!"
"Sorry…" he whispered. "I was fast asleep."
"I know that!" she childishly frowned. "That's why you have to make up for it! You have to be here every night!"
"But Sakura…!" he muttered. "You were keeping me up all night. I couldn't get any sleep! … Now I'm thinking twice if I want to be wedded to you…"
"SYAORAN!" she screamed.
"Just kidding!" he snapped, and then kissed her cheek again. "But you do keep me up all night…" he added in a low tone.
"This time, I won't!"
"Nah… I don't believe that anymore… You've said that three times already…"
She held tight to the blanket, "this time is for real! … Ok… Let's sleep now!" Then she closed her eyes tight showing him that she has no other intentions but to sleep.
After a matter of seconds, she slightly opened her left eye and got surprised that made her open both of her eyes.
She felt warmth all over her body. His strong arms were comfortably embracing her and her face was centimeters away from his. He neared her with his eyes closed.
Closer.
Then their lips met. This was the second time he had kissed her on her lips. She felt good in what he did. Her knees got weak and her touch smoothened. Her eyes were closed and felt like she doesn't wanna move her other muscles- just her lips who were making out with his.
His hands crawled over to her back, and so was hers. She ran her fingers in his brown hair then down to his neck and shoulder. His hand on her hip made its way to her lower back, rubbing it gently and smoothly. She moved her legs on top of his thighs, embracing him more.
After for a while, their lips parted. "Good night Sakura… Sweet dreams!" he whispered to her.
"Same to you Syao… Sleep tight." She smiled and landed a final kiss on his chick. They hugged for the rest of the night, drifting off to sleep in each other's arms.
………………………………………………… The next day
A girl with shiny auburn hair and beautiful emerald eyes came walking decently on an isle covered with red carpet. She was wearing a white tube top dress and a pair of white lady's shoes. She walked and walked until she had reached the end of the isle. At that, a man with not-so-messy brown hair and astonishing amber eyes now accompanied her. He was wearing a white tuxedo.
They walked hand in hand until they reached the low-carpeted staircase. They climbed it and settled themselves at the table covered in white cloth with flowers arranged on it.
Syaoran stood and everybody watching went silent. He dived his right hand in his pocket. He brought out a velvet box. "Sakura.." he lifted the velvet box and opened it in front of Sakura.
A/N: Darn, I'm really not good at this kind of stuff.
"Will you accept me to be your fiancé?" he asked her.
She was gazing at the ring inside the box and then to his eyes. She got a little bit teary but still didn't manage to say a word. Everyone was waiting for her answer, especially Syaoran. A matter of minutes has already passed and everyone felt sorry for the young lad waiting for an answer. Sakura bit her lip for a while then finally answered, "yes..!"
Everybody got relieved, especially Fujitaka. For a second, he thought the whole celebration was just a waste.
After that, Syaoran took out the ring in the velvet box and slipped it in Sakura's finger. Then, it was Sakura's turn to offer him the ring she has.
A/N: I'm really not good at this!
All went well. Before everyone began to eat, Syaoran stood from his chair and raised a glass of wine for everyone to see. "Lets make a toast, everybody." Everyone had a glass of wine too and also lifted them up. "Sakura Kinomoto, to be the wife of the heir of the Li Clan; and soon to be Sakura Li." Then as expected, everybody joined in the toast.
After all that, dinner had begun; Syaoran and Sakura both on the top table. Meanwhile, everybody was allowed to ask the couple.
"Umm… Excuse me." Said a man on the microphone. He looks like a photographer for he was wearing camera around his neck. "Is it true that you have worked for the Kinomotos not so long ago?"
"Certainly." Syaoran answered. "I met her there. But to tell everyone the truth, we both thought that it was our first time to meet, but actually…we were really childhood friends in Hong Kong."
Then random whispers and side comments were heard in the room like "interesting," "really? What a coincidence?" "That's awfully sweet."
Then another came up, "where will you stay when you are finally married? Here in Japan or in Hong Kong, where the Li Clan is?"
"Good question!" Syaoran snapped. "Actually, I really don't know yet. Ehe ehehe ehe?" then the same noise of the whispers and side comments filled the large room once again. "I reckon, it's for my sweet Sakura to decide."
"Will the elders of the Clan approve if Miss Sakura decide to stay in Japan?"
Then Sakura tried to answer, "we reckon that we'll be having a meeting with the elders before we get married."
Then simultaneously, a lot were approaching the microphone and asking them questions.
…………………………………………………… After all that, outside the reception
Sakura was talking to a tall woman with long curly gray hair when someone had covered her eyes with a pair of hands. "Who is this?" Sakura asked as she touches the hands that covered her eyes.
"Guess who!" said the one that covered her eyes.
Sakura realized that voice. It was small and very feminine. "TOMOYO!" she cried out. Then as expected, she removed her hands from her face. "Oh! You came to my Engagement Party! How nice! I'm so happy!"
"Of course! I could never miss this event!" Tomoyo replied then giggled. "I also got them all on tape!"
"Sakura…" came a handsome male voice. She looked behind to see who called her. After that, she reached for the man's hand and pulled him beside her.
"Tomoyo! This is Syaoran. You remember him?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Hmm…" she place her hand on her chin. "Yeah! He was the same guy in the ball! I recognize him!"
"Oh… About that… Sorry for that…" Syaoran said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Not at all!" she responded.
"And this Syaoran..!" Sakura vociferated as she turns to the woman she was talking to a while ago. "Syaoran, meet my mum!"
"Syaoran Li." He mentioned as he shakes hands with Sakura's mother.
"Nadeshiko Kinomoto." She replied sweetly.
"Charmed to meet you madam." He responded.
"Oh… I believe we have met a couple of times before." Nadeshiko gently said.
"Really, mum!" Sakura was so amazed.
"Uh huh! In the coffee shop and the ball, remember?" she said.
Syaoran blinked twice then warmly smiled, "it was you… No wonder why I see Sakura in you."
"Mum! You were there in the ball! Why didn't you tell me!" Sakura childishly frowned.
"I just had the feeling to surprise you, dear." Her mum replied.
"Yeah… You did!"
Pretty soon, Syaoran had found himself walking near the flowerbeds and happen to see Yukito.
"Yukito.." he mentioned as soon as he got near him.
"Ahh… Li!" he smiled at him.
"Well mm…" Syaoran scratched the back of his head. "About your engagement with Sakura… Well… mm…"
"That's ok!" he slapped him on his shoulder.
"Well… I meant to say was… Thanks…" he told him.
Yukito's eyeglasses flashed, "not at all! Congratulations Li..! Make her happy!"
He grinned, "I sure will!"
A/N: I would like to thank everyone for giving me the support I needed for this fic. Thank you my reviewers.
"Syaorrrrraaaan!" Sakura came rushing to him under the nighttime sky.
"No! Let's wait until everyone's gone!" Syaoran responded with a worried face.
"I don't want to!" she cried out then jumped over to him. "I love yoooouuuu!" and made him fall on the flowerbed.
.-. Carry my voice to him .-.
.-. Tell him right away .-.
A/N: Special thanks to Fanfiction . Net, for letting me write this fic, it really freed my soul.
Days and days have passed and Syaoran and Sakura were always traveling around Japan and Hong Kong. All expenses paid by Syaoran Li, of course.
.-. Hurry, come here .-.

.-. I want you to believe in it .-.
"Kawaii!" screamed four girls.
"Who are they?" Sakura asked leaning over to Syaoran while grasping his sleeve.
"…My sisters…"
Sakura sweat dropped when the four reached her and nonstop pinched her cheeks.
.-. The continuation of the dream .-.
"Hey! I can do that too!" said a girl with black hair.
"Hehe? Sure you can…" answered Sakura.
Meilin did a back flip. "See?"
"Hehe? Bravo Meilin!" she clapped her hands.
.-. Singing .-.
"Syaoran! HUNEY!"
"..What?"
"You're not wearing your ring today!"
"..Right ..I'm sorry! ..No Sakura, NO! HAVE MERCY! Don't strangle me, DON'T!"
"Mwah!"
.-. A melody to tomorrow .-.
.. The End ..
