Author's Corner:
Me: So, welcome to Author's Corner! I'm always happy writing this part, because I need my space. I mean, writing for all of our little CCS characters is great, but...well it's as if...a good metaphor is like how a mother loves her children, but needs a day out.
Tomoyo: When you were describing the mother metaphor...does that mean me and Sakura will be mommies? D:
Sakura: NO I CAN'T! I'm LIKE 17!
Me: Don't worry...This is not MTV, it's my story! And if you complain, I can make anything happen, Mwahahaha.
Eriol & Syaoran: Disclaimer...bla bla...
...
Sakura and Syaoran, along with Fuutie, Sheifa, Fanren, and Fanmei, walked in the kitchen to help Tomoyo put the groceries back, to find Eriol on one knee, with a ring, and Tomoyo saying:
"I..." Tomoyo stammered nervously. Her face was a scarlet red.
"You baka, I told you to do this later!" Syaoran swatted at Eriol.
"Well, considering last night later may refer to any time in the future." Eriol said.
"Syao-Kun, you knew about this?" Sakura shook her head and did a face-palm.
"Well...Sort of...Eriol told me last night. I mean, I would have told you...accept...umm..." Syaoran looked around the room.
"I told him not to tell anyone." Eriol said boldly and put his arm around Syaoran's neck.
"We're pals now, right, Syaoran!" Eriol hugged on him and looked at him as if saying: 'Play along.'
"..Ehe...Right..." Syaoran did a fake chuckle.
"Oh, well that's extremely great! Eriol, I accept your offer, just let's not get married until everything in this family is settled!" Tomoyo grinned before giving Eriol a small kiss.
...
"Hey, Eriol...Thank you for helping Syaoran out today. I know you guys aren't too good of friends, but thanks for covering for him...and also, you one points with Tomoyo, so I guess your small plan worked." Sakura giggled as she went into the living room after being in the kitchen. She and Syaoran sat on the couch and watched Beauty and the Beast.
"I like this part!" Sakura whispered. She pointed at the part where Belle and Beast both were drinking their sugary porridge.
"When I was little, I always felt like I could almost taste the porridge. It was...always...so...fun...to pretend..." Sakura dozed off, falling asleep in Syaoran's lap. Syaoran smiled at her.
"She's sooooo kawaii!" Tomoyo and Syaoran both made a big smiley face! (A/N: Similar to this: ^_^ )
Syaoran carried her up to her room, and began thinking about the similarities between Beauty and the Beast, and he and Sakura's situation. At first, their parents had encouraged them to be wed, but then, it became forbidden love. Just like in Beauty in the Beast; it was a Forbidden Love. Syaoran tucked Sakura in, kissed her forehead and settled himself on back on the couch with Tomoyo and Eriol.
...
Back at the Li's rental house, things were hectic. Now not only were Syaoran and Sakura gone, but the 4 sisters had not returned home from the cottage. All of a sudden, Princess Lei Chai of Beijing entered the rental home, surrounded by big, built body guards.
"Prince Syaoran, your future wifey is here!" Lei yelled excitedly. She wasn't the prettiest; she had fair skin, almost too fair, a black bob, and ordinary black eyes. She wore a silver tiara, and many satin pieces of clothing.
"Oh and hello, Queen Yelan! Thank you sooooo much for having me here today, tomorrow, and in your lives forever! Not only is this for the kingdom, but I'm sooooo psyched! Syaoran is really cute, from the pictures! Why is Queen Kinomoto here? Ha, and why are we in Japan, as well?" Lei chuckled and bowed to the queens.
"Umm... Hello, Princess Chai...In this situation...I am the Queen of Tomoeda, Japan...Before you and Syaoran were engaged...Syaoran was previously engaged to Sakura Kinomoto, my daughter. But then we found out Sakura had now interest in Syaoran, so we called off the engagement, just before they fell in love. Now they have run away...and...well I suggest calling off the engagement if they are not found within a month..."
"That won't be a problem...but... S-Syaoran has run away with some ~BLEEP!~, excuse my language against your daughter, Queen Kinomoto...do you have their phone numbers? Does Princess Fuutie have a number?" Lei took the texting usernames of Syaoran and Sakura, figured out Fuutie didn't have a number, and began to plot.
She changed her username to Fuuutiee, and disguised herself as Syaoran's sister!
~Fuuutiee has logged into Sakurawr's Chat Room~
Fuuutiee: Hey, it's Fuutie! I have a gift for you...meet me at King Penguin Park, in 30 minutes!
Sakurawr: Yes ma'am. Do you want Syao 2 come to?
Fuuutiee: Nah, don't tell him! Secretly, we r gonna give him something he'll never expect!
Sakurawr: Kk, I'll be there!
~Fuuutiee and Sakurawr have logged out~
~Fuuutiee has logged into SyaoSyao's Chat Room~
Fuuutiee: Hey Syaoran, I finally got a txting thingy!
SyaoSyao: Good 4 u I guess. Wazzup? :p
Fuuutiee: Meet me at King Penguin Park, 33 minutes exactly! Don't be early or late. Don't tell Saku either it's a surprise!
SyaoSyao: Kk bai.
...
Sakura went to King Penguin Park. She looked around the area, and remembered herself as a child, playing in the sandbox with Tomoyo. The only girl around was in a black hoodie, and had brown hair, just like Fuutie's! Sakura didn't think it was her, though, because Fuutie usually dressed brightly, and the outfit was black sweat pants, a black hoodie, and black vans. When the girl turned around, she looked like Fuutie. But only a bit. Sakura walked towards her in question, only to find herself being gagged.
"Don't you dare, make a move on my Syaoran!" Lei ripped off her chocolate wig, kicked Sakura's arm, which threw Sakura to the ground, and tied Sakura's limbs together.
"Hey you! Don't touch Sakura like that!" Syaoran jumped out of seemingly nowhere and pushed the stranger to the ground.
"Syaoran..." Sakura tried to get out of her gag.
"Sakura, do you know her?" Syaoran ripped off the gag and ties around Sakura while the stranger struggled to get off the ground.
"No, I thought she was Fuutie!" Sakura had tears in her eyes.
"She's an imposter. Sakura, go wait by the swings, I'll handle this girl." Syaoran said heroically.
Sakura ran over to the swings, and sat down nonchalantly, only to see a silver haired man, a few years older than she, sitting next to her.
"Good morning, princess Kinomoto, I'm prince Yukito Tsukishiro. Nice to meet you, fiancé!" Yukito was polite, but then he kissed Sakura's hand.
"I'm engaged to Prince Syaoran, get away, freak!" Sakura ran to Syaoran, who was confronting the creepy girl.
"Syaoran, what are you doing with another girl! I'm your fiancé! I'm Lei Chai!"
"Lei, you're not even close to good looking. Sakura is my type. We're a great couple, now scram ~BLEEEP!~" Syaoran cursed a bit and Lei ran away.
"Syaoran, please handle Prince Tsukishiro! Hurry, he's a weirdo! He kissed my hand!" Sakura hugged on Syaoran's arm.
"Who?" Syaoran only managed to say before a foot was kicked to his back.
"SYAORAN!" Sakura turned to see Yukito, clenching his jaw.
"Princess, I'm sorry you had to see that." He said softly, picking Syaoran up like a baby. "Come with me, back to the castle." Yukito led Sakura down the road that led to a castle. It was obviously a rental, because Yukito wasn't a prince from around here.
"Yukito, where are you the prince of?" Sakura asked with interest. She was steaming mad at Yukito, but she couldn't help but fill the awkward walk with sound.
"Actually, I'm the prince of Okinawa Lake. It isn't much but...apparently our marriage will help the kingdom!" Yukito held Sakura's hand, while carrying Syaoran on his back. He unlocked the door to the castle, and used his phone to call Sakura and Syaoran's moms. They came over a few minutes later, and reunited to the children.
"Sakura-Chan, what happened to you?" Nadeshiko noticed bruises on Sakura's main joints, from where she had been tied.
"Princess Lei did it...and then Prince Yukito kicked Syaoran." Sakura giggled.
"I'm sorry, I will withdraw from the engagement for making a disgrace out of Sakura's lover." Yukito bowed.
"It's okay." Syaoran stood up, his eyes very squinty. He winced in pain as he managed to walk towards Sakura. He gave her a light embrace, because he couldn't walk very well.
"Syaoran-Kun, are you okay?" Sakura gave him a hug.
