Marriage Chronicle

Chapitre 8: Eight Shocks

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Sakura woke up from her nightmare, frightened, and looked around with fearful eyes. She sighed and smiled, "…that's just a nightmare."

Sakura was waiting for Syaoran to come home from work.
Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come.

When the clock strikes right ten o'clock, she began to listen, the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window.
She was very happy that he came on the right time; when she's scared and need someone to be with her. She laid aside her sewing and opened the door.

"Hi. Welcome home Syaoran," she smiled.
"Thanks, Sakura," he replied.

She walked over and made some drinks, and soon she was back again in her chair with the sewing, and he's in the other chair, holding the tall glass with his hand.She looked at him. It's really him, not a spirit, soul, or ghost.

"Syaoran, shall I get your slippers?" she asked.
"No."
"Shall I get you some cheese?"
"Nope."
"I'll get you some crackers."
"…I don't want it."

"But you must eat! I'll get you some food, then you can finish it or not, as you like."
She gasped after realizing what she said. It's exactly the same as her dream.

"Sit down," he said, "Just for a minute, sit down."
She began to get more frightened. She knew something is wrong. And she knew what's going to happen.
"Listen, like I said before," he said, "I've got something to tell you."

She lowered herself back slowly into the chair, shivering.
"This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I'm afraid," he said, "I don't want to lie to you anymore… I hope you won't blame me too much."
"No…" she yelled to herself, "Please! Don't say it…" she's really afraid.

"I'm… actually…" he finally said the words slowly, "I actually worked as a cleaning service on Icchan's office!"

"HOE!" Sakura looks surprised.

"And I worked as Mokona at the amusement park we went to!"

"HOE!" Sakura looks more surprised.

"And I worked at Oujiro's bar… and dressed as a girl you met!"

"HOE!" she's really surprised and fell down from her chair.

"Sakura!" Syaoran helped her to stand up, "Are you okay?"
"Ah… I'm fine…" she giggled as she sat back on her chair.

"Well… I'm sorry that I lied to you…" said Syaoran.
"That's okay," she stood up and kissed his cheek, "I'm not mad at you. Not at all."
He blushed. "Thank you… I'm glad I can finally be honest to you."

Syaoran opened his bag and took out something. "I bought something for you as the sign of my apologize…"
"Huh?" Sakura felt she's familiar with the wrapping, "AAHH!!"
"I bought you a cow rib! It's one of your favorite food, right?"
"NO!!" she yelled, "I HATE cow ribs!"
"What? I thought you love eating it!" said Syaoran, "Well I can't just throw this away…"
"Uh… you can take it to work and share it with your workmates…" she said, "I'm not eating it."
"…I don't have time eating with my workmates."

So Sakura cooked the cow rib for Syaoran, and something else for herself.
"What happened?" asked Syaoran as he ate, "There's something you're hiding from me."
"Well, nothing serious," Sakura giggled, "I had a nightmare that I killed you with a cow rib because you lied to me."

Syaoran stoned and dropped the plate he's holding to the floor.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

A/N: Yo ho ho! Hope you like this chapter! Syaoran is not dead everyone. You may be happy now or be sad if you really want him to die.And I'm not dead too. I think 2 chapters and 2-3 bonus chapters will be added later. I'll slowly work on them and finish them quickly before exam. At least "that's what I hope."

Thanks for reading, and the lovely reviews :)
