Magnetic Attractions
After getting settled in the guest room, Sakura had taken up Meilin on her offer for a tour of the house.
"And this is a portrait of my great-great-great-great uncle. I don't remember what his name was but I think he was suppose to be a great sorcerer," Meilin explained as Sakura and her strolled down a big corridor full of portraits. "And this is another one of my great-great-great aunts. I don't know why they have her picture here, she never did anything interesting." They both started giggling. "You know I bet someday they'll have your portrait here."
Sakura laughed at her comment. "Why would you say that?"
"Because you're the Card Mistress! Duh! You're suppose to be some almighty powerful sorceress."
Sakura laughed again. "Whoever said that was probably over-exaggerating. I'm not 'almighty'."
Meilin giggled. "Still, if they have portraits of women who did absolutely nothing hung here then they'll definately have a portrait of you someday."
"I doubt that. These are all Li women. I'm not a Li." Just then Meilin stopped in front of the portrait of a young boy at the age of 8 years with deep amber eyes and dark brown hair.
Meilin got an evil idea. A very evil yet fun idea. She smirked at Sakura and said, "That doesn't mean you can't be."
"What are you talking about?" She gave her a quizical look.
"Well, technically, if you marry a Li, then you become a Li." Her smirk became huge and there was a very evil glint in her eyes.
Sakura immediately caught on to her idea and backed away. "No, no, no, no, no. No!"
"Oh come on he's cute!" (In case you guys haven't caught on yet, she's talking about Syaoran.) She gained on her and Sakura backed up again.
"He's grumpy!"
"I bet you can change that!" She grinned like a maniac.
Sakura saw that there was no way around this conversation so she turned around and ran down the corridor with Meilin on her tail.
"Come on Sakura! Just think about it! It's a match made in heaven!"
"No it's not!" She turned around the corner and bam! She ran into someone. But before she could fall a pair of strong hand caught her by the waist. Sakura opened her eyes and say that it was....
"Syaoran! I am so...." Before she could apologize she was drawn into his deep amber eyes, like the one in the portrait. Of course he was also mesmerized by her sparkling emerald eyes. Neither one noticed when Meilin walked around the corner and saw them in that position: Syaoran dipping Sakura (That sounds kinda weird but I hope you know I mean the dips they do in dances!) She just stood there looking at the two then cleared her throat which definitely got both their attentions, They snapped back into reality. Sakura stood up straight and Syaoran let go of her waist as they both started mumbling apologies. Meilin couldn't help but giggle, which earned her death glares from both Sakura and Syaoran. Without even looking at each other, Sakura and Syaoran walked opposite ways and Meilin followed Sakura.
"That was so cute!!! I told you, you guys are a match made in heaven!"
"No we're not!"
"Yes you are! It's like you two are just pulled towards each other by some invisible source (Me!)"
"If you are suggesting that I am attracted to Captain Grumpy then you are sadly mistaken!" Sakura made her way towards her room and opened the door and stood there, "We are like total opposites!"
"You don't even know him yet! Besides you know what they say, opposites attract!" She giggled. Sakura opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't think of anything so she just slammed the door in Meilin's face. "This is going to be the best summer vacation ever!!!" She giggled and skipped down the stairs. She ran into the garden where Syaoran's sisters where all sitting gossiping about stuff. "You guys are never going to believe this!"
This was like a usual routine for the girls. They would all gather together in benched area of the garden and gossip about who wore what, who's going out with who, and stuff like that. By the amount of enthusiasm in Meilin's voice they could tell whatever she had to say had to be really exciting.
They all turned their attention to her and said "What?" in unison.
"Ok so I was showing Sakura around the house and then I got this idea that she and Syaoran would make a perfect couple-"
"Ooooh!!!" They all said in unison again. "That's a perfect idea!!!" They all started talking between themselves about it and Meilin cleared her throat to get their attention. They all became quiet and turned towards her again.
"I wasn't finished. Ok so then she started saying 'no' and 'that's a stupid idea!' and then we started running down the corridors and she runs into SYAORAN! And he grabs her by the waist so she doesn't fall and then they just stare deeply into each others eyes for a few seconds. It was so ADORABLE!!!" They all started squealing and jumping up and down hugging each other.
"Ah hem." They all stopped and turned to find Yelan standing there. "Did something exciting happen?"
The girls all looked at each other and tried hard to keep in their laughs but couldn't. They started laughing and cracking up and all talking over each other. Yelan just shook her head and continued, "Girls! All this gossiping will get you no where. Plus it's not how young, civilized, women act. So I suggest you all get ready for lunch. And someone be a dear and tell Sakura."
Meilin nodded as Yelan walked away. They all look at each other and started going crazy again.
