"InnoCent From Amber"
Chapter 3- "Signing My Life Away"
By Rushi Star
Emerald eyes slowly opened as the morning sun's rays made contact with her eyes. Sakura slowly got up and picked up a pair of old dirty shorts and a pink shirt that had little holes that were beside her bed in a old chair. After putting them on, she looked at her reflection in a small broken mirror that showed her dirty face, her eyes and her messy amber hair. She didn't care of beauty for she knew she didn't have any, but she knew that she was too skinny for her own good. It did scare her but she didn't care as long as she sold her flowers and got some money for food an medicine for her father. She wasn't small either she was about 5'6 and she believe she took good care of her teeth for they were straight and white. Slowly she started brushing her hair that was to her waist and a little wavy, she smiled at herself but that smile made her think was there anything for her to smile for? But she didn't care she would never stop smiling for it made her happy inside even if life had nothing good to offer.
'Two more day until, I change or continue living life like I have always lived it' thought Sakura as she then did a bun with her hair and continued looking at her reflection in the broken mirror.
"What will I choose?"
"In one way I would have enough money for my father's medication and operation and help Touya finish his education but what will I do? I don't know anything about that world. All I know is to sell flowers around the streets, and what about the young man and his family what will they think of me?
"Sakura!! Get up!" came Touya voice making Sakura come out of her deep thoughts.
"I'm up Touya, I am getting ready!" came Sakura reply as she then picked up a small basket.
Sakura slowly ran up to her brother and gave him a kiss and then went to see her father that was in bed.
"Father, how are you feeling today?" asked Sakura as he smiled at her father that smiled back.
"Same as usual Sakura, will you go out again selling those flowers?" asked her father which made Sakura nod her head.
"Yes, father,"
"I wish you didn't and returned to finish school and maybe..," came Fijitaka reply but was stopped by Sakura.
"No father we need this money and school wasn't the place for me. You know they always made fun of me and my cloths.," came Sakura reply as she hugged her father that nodded his head.
"If only I was healthy and could work, you would have to suffer my poor cherry blossom,"
"Dad, don't say that," came Sakura voice as she continued to hug her father.
"It true Sakura, if only I was healthy,"
"Maybe our luck will change father," came Sakura reply making Fijitaka look at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know I just have a feeling that life might change for us, father would you like a change if life offered us a chance?'
Fijitaka looked his daughter and saw the determined look on her eyes and knew that this question was important for everyone but especially her.
"Sakura, listen life is always offering chances, but it up to you to make that decision and soon you will find out if you made a good one or a bad one. Sakura, I don't know why this question came to your mind or what circumstances but remember that think about your happiness is what matters. Your happiness is my happiness," came Fijitaka response.
Sakura listened to each and every word but as much as she tried to understand what he was meaning she could get it. She nodded her head and made her way to the door but with a warm smile on her lips.
"Thanks, Dad I will keep in mind those words," and with that said Sakura walked out and picked up her basket and walked out the door to do her job.
Li Mansion
"Xio and Syaoran both of you must work together and find a way to find out what your aunt's intentions are for her fortune. We must be aware of everything she is doing, we must above all you two must be the heir of her fortune," said Yelen as she looked at both her sons that nodded their head in agreement.
"Good," said Yelen as she walked out the room.
Xio and Syaoran looked at each other and knew that they must work together to make their mother happy. They loved her very much but both of them knew that they didn't want the fortune at all, they were only doing it to please their beloved mother.
"Syaoran are you feeling much better?" asked Xio that took a seat on a chair as he closely watched Syaoran's expressionless face.
"I will never feel better, Xio. Unlike you, I have fallen in love and have lost her forever. I hope that you don't ever feel the emptiness and hatred for love," said Syaoran as he poured some wine into a glass cup.
"Come on Syaoran, Ming might have been your first love but come, man. You need to chill, surely you'll fine another fine young woman that will make you fall in love or at least please you somehow," said Xio as he smirked at his brother that just ignore him.
"I will never love again, and even if life brings me into another's arms, I will never love her for I have already give someone one heart and I am not planning in giving out my heart again," said Syaoran as he poured some more wine into this glass.
"I guess I will never make you change your mind, but will you do me the honor to join me tonight," asked Xio.
"What for?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know, maybe to do what normal men at our age do, go out and meet some beautiful rich girls and have fun for the night," said Xio.
"You never change, Xio," said Syaoran as he looked at his glass and at the ice cups that where in it. It have been about two months without Ming, and he hadn't left the mansion at all. Maybe some fresh air would do him good after all. No one could take the place of Ming, even if he turned his attention to countless woman.
"Why, would I change, I mean everyone envies us for our looks and statues. Syaoran I haven't meet a woman that will make me melt with her touch, but when I find her I will never let go of her," said Xio as he got up and went to Syaoran side and patted him on the back.
"Come on little brother, listen to you big brother he knows what he is doing," said Xio that made Syaoran smirk after two long months.
"Fine, but if those sluts get to annoying I am coming home," said Syaoran as he made Xio smile.
"Now, there's the real Syaoran Li," said Xio.
"This better work, Xio," said Syaoran as he finished his wine.
"No doubt, this night will be a interesting one," said Xio as he then walked out the room as he pulled out his expensive cell phone and speed dial…
"Meilin, Li"
"She will help Syaoran, forget about Ming" thought Xio as he smiles at his smartness.
Later that night
"Syaoran and Xio!! Over here!!" cried a young woman that had long black hair and beautiful ruby eyes. She wore a black tight spaghetti shirt and tight black leather pants.
Xio and Syaoran exchanged looks which, only made Xio smirk and Syaoran growl of anger.
"Relax, Syao and enjoy her company," said Xio as both took their seat as Meilin didn't loose a second and hugged Syaoran that felt every and each curve.
"Meilin, can we take a seat," said Syaoran that made Meilin smile.
"Anything for you," said Meilin that sat on Syaoran lap as soon as he took a seat.
"Meilin, don't you think you are going to fast," said Syaoran that looked at her which only made her smile evilly at him.
"Syaoran, you know how much I love you, I never stopped loving you even when you your with Ming. Syaoran please let me show you how much I love you, please give me a change," said Meilin that lowered her ruby eyes to Syaoran's lips.
"Meilin, I still love Ming," said Syaoran unsure of what to do.
"Just give me a chance," whispered Meilin as he lips made contact with his lips. Syaoran tasted her lips but as he closed his eyes trying to decided if he should response. He opened his eyes in shock he saw the instead of Meilin it was Ming, kissing him. He felt joy and in a second response to her kiss, with all his might. In his eyes he was kissing Ming, but in reality it was Meilin that was shocked but didn't brake their sweet passionate kiss. After the kiss Syaoran was completely shocked it wasn't Ming, but Meilin. What was happening to him.
"Syaoran, baby what's wrong you look like you saw a ghost?" asked Meilin.
"I saw Ming, while I kiss Meilin, what does it mean? I am a hallucinating but I felt happy. Should I start a relation with Meilin, but I will only be using her while thinking she is Ming, it not fair for her but I don't care if it the only way to see Ming, I will do anything," said Syaoran as he then took Meilin's lips. Meilin smiled for this was what she wanted and at last optioned.
"You will be mine, Syaoran Li"
Two days later…
"Today is the day, I have already made up my mind and I just hope it the best one,"
"Even if I sign my life away, I will do it for my family's benefit," thought Sakura as she made her way into her future mansion. With each step she took the wind seemed to blow at her direction and cloud seem appeared in the sky.
