Chapter 18: Secrets told, hearts opened
Last time…
Sakura decided to ask Syaoran if he wanted to spend the rest of the day together. She had just entered the building were the play had been held when she saw Syaoran kissing another girl. At the same time Tomoyo and Eriol came into the room. Time seem to move in slow motion.
As Syaoran pulled away from the girl and looked up only to be meet eyes with horrified look on Eriol's face, an angry Tomoyo, and a tear struck Sakura. "Sakura" was all he could whisper as the love of his life ran from him crying. He watched her body disappeared out the front doors. Both Sakura and Syaoran had one thought running through their minds at the same time. 'This can't be happening'
This time….
Syaoran just stood there frozen in place. The image of Sakura's face kept replaying in his mind. 'Sakura…'
"Let me go Eriol! I am going to kill him" Tomoyo shouted as she struggled within Eriol's grip. Eriol held on to her tightly as he gave Syaoran a sad look.
"Well that was strange ha-ha right Syaoran? Syaoran?" asked Rei who had been talking non stop. See looked at Syaoran to see his head bowed and his bangs covering his eyes.
"…why…why are you here Rei?" Syaoran asked in a stern voice. He still hadn't lifted his head to look her in the eyes.
The smile that was once upon Rei's face slide into a scowl as she started to talk. "I came here to get my fiancé or did you forget? You may not like it Syaoran but you are mines by betroth between our clans. So you can kiss that ugly, frilly little girl you were having a fling with goodbye my dear. Becau-" Rei didn't even get to finish her sentence before Syaoran's head shot up and he had punched his fist into the wall next to her head.
"Don't ever talk that way about Sakura" by now he was growling out his words and Rei was shaking almost ready to wet herself. He then leaned his head closer to her face as he finished his sentence. "She is more of a woman than you could ever be, given all the time in the world" He then yanked his fist from the now dented wall from which it had been smashed into.
Rei slowly slid down the wall as Syaoran's eyes held a dark and angry look to them. He looked ready to kill something at the moment. "Y-you are mines little wolf no matter what. Do you hear me" she started to shout but it soon turned into a whine as Syaoran's face turned more and more into a scowl.
"The agreement was that if I didn't find another fiancé before my next birthday then I was to become your husband. However Ms. Rei I have found a girl in mind and I don't plan on giving up on her." With that said Syaoran walked away to go look for Sakura.
Rei sat there a moment longer before standing up. She dusted the imagery dust off her clothes before looking to see only Eriol stand there looking at her. She narrowed her eyes at him before she spoke. "And what might I ask are you staring at dear cousin" she spat out as if it was venom.
Eriol paid little mind to her rude word but answered none the less. "Why are you here?"
Rei gave a snort in response. "I know you heard me tell Syaoran why it was I was here." She said placing her hands on her hips as if to say she was annoyed.
Eriol face held no emotion as he spoke. "Yes I heard quiet clearly as to what you told him but I am asking you for the truth now. Why are you really here? When given the chance to come to Japan you would always shoot the offer down with so much disgust and boredom. Now I see the same girl here and of her own free will. Do the elders know that you are down here? Does Syaoran's mother know that you are down here trying to ruin his chance at happiness? What are you doing here Rei?"
By now Rei was biting her lower lip. Each word he spoke was true and she knew he knew it. She started to think on how she was going to get herself out of this mess. "Listen here Er-iol, I don't need a baby sitter. No mother Li does not know I am here, but she will be happy to know I am saving her son from marrying a broke, girly-girly, air head baby."
Eriol's face stayed emotionless the whole time. Rei couldn't see his eyes however from the glare of the light bouncing off his glass. "I would suggest you watch who you say those mean things about Sakura too Rei. Also you coming down here to out of pure jealously is an amazement all its own. To think you are so selfish as to want to ruin his life. I hope you know Rei that your sister Meilin will not be happy when she hears about this. But I won't be the one to tell her dear cousin." With that Eriol walked off to go find his Tomoyo.
Rei just stood there watching his figure disappear. "If you hadn't of already told the elders about you wanting to marry Tomoyo my dear cousin, I would have married you as well." With that Rei walked off to find Syaoran.
Meanwhile in the park…
Sakura sat there against a cherry blossom tree crying. Her sobs echoed through out the empty park. She then heard a stick snap and turned to see Tomoyo panting. Tomoyo face was flush from all the running she had done. "S-sakura, I found you" Tomoyo said as she flung herself to Sakura.
At first Sakura just sat stiff within Tomoyo grasp. She then broke down crying into Tomoyo's shoulder. "I thought he loved me….I-I thought he loved me…I though he l-l-loved meeeee" Sakura wailed as she wrapped her own arms around Tomoyo. Tomoyo couldn't help but squeeze Sakura closer to her. A lone tear fell down Tomoyo face at the sight of Sakura crying.
"shh Sakura it ok. Just let it all out now. Don't hold it in any longer." And so Sakura did just. They sat there for at least a good hour before Sakura fell asleep in Tomoyo arms. It was now dark outside and Tomoyo didn't know what to do. "sigh I guess I am going to have to wake her up" just then she heard the foot steps of two people running. Looking up she saw both Eriol and Syaoran. Both faces flushed and their hair blown wild in the night air. Tomoyo narrowed her eyes. "You!" she sneered at Syaoran who now was looking at her. "This is your entire fault. I should have known you would have hurt her."
"Tom-"he began to sit when he was cut off.
"Don't Tomoyo me! If I would have know you were a two timing whore I would have never encouraged Sakura to follow her heart, which may I remind you is now crushed, broken and turned to ashes! I swear to y-"Tomoyo was shouting when Eriol came up behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist and pulling her close to him, while his other hand went over her mouth.
"shhh Tomoyo dear. It's not what it seems. We'll talk more when we get to the dorms but right now, out in the open is not the best place." Eriol spoke in an almost seductive voice as he whispered in her ears. Looking over to his cousin he saw Syaoran had walked over to the sleeping Sakura with a sad look on his face. How she was still sleep he didn't know.
Syaoran kneeled down next to her and stroked the wild meshed hair from her sleeping face. He then carefully slides his arms around her as he picked him up. He heard Tomoyo give a muffled reply in response but Eriol once again started to whisper in her ear. He could only thing it was something prated by how red her face turned. Eriol gave him a nod of the head and they all left to go to the dorms.
They all decide to go to one dorm for the night and since sneaking the guys into he girls dorm area would be to hard since they both had a fan club they decide to just go to the guys' dorm. Once in there Syaoran carried Sakura to his room leaving Tomoyo to follow Eriol to his own room.
In Eriol's room….
"Ok Eriol spill it now. What is going on?!" Tomoyo said once the door was closed. Eriol sighed as he walked to his bed. He then tapped the area on the bed next to him for her to sit on. She sighed as she sat down next to him.
"Rei is Syaoran fiancé by betroth." He paused as he heard Tomoyo gasp. "The elders were worried that Syaoran wasn't going to get married, so they took it into there own hand and said that she was only to marry him if he hadn't found another woman by his next birthday. It was also a way to get Syaoran to follow his own heart as his mother wanted him to do. She thought under pressure that Syaoran would pick the girl he wanted which was Sakura but she doesn't know it's her. All she knows is that the girl he was in love with was not in Hong Kong but here in Japan. I told her that the girl I wanted was also here. She then asked me to go with Syaoran to watch over him and bring home both you and the girl he had chosen."
Tomoyo was stunned. Everything was like a blur to her. It seemed that her whole world was frozen at the moment. All the emotion that she had bottled up today; happiness, anger, sadness, amazement, and love seemed to all flow out of her in tears. To say Eriol was shocked was an understatement. He was even more shocked when she through herself into chest crying. He could only hold her tightly against.
"Tomoyo?" Eriol asked in a gentle voice
"iloveyou" Tomoyo said in a muffled voice from her face being pressed into is chest.
Eriol chuckled at her. "Little one I can't hear you." Tomoyo lifted her head up from his chest to look him in the face. Eriol's once smirking face turned into a shocked one. His breath caught in his throat from the look of Tomoyo. Her eyes where a bit puffy and her once pale face now was rosy. Her once straight silky hair was now meshed and wild from the day's events. Her look was that of somewhat seductive to him.
"I said I love you…I want you to know just in ca-"Tomoyo started to say before Eriol's lips came crashing down onto hers in a fiery passionate kiss. Tomoyo could only return the kiss back with even more passion.
"Don't say anymore. Hearing you say you love me is all I want from you my princess." Eriol whispered against her lips before capturing them again.
In Syaoran's room…
Syaoran had heard every word that Eriol had said. It didn't bother him however. He knew all long but just the thought of him marrying any other girl besides Sakura bought sorrow to his heart. Right now he was lying next to the sleeping Sakura in his bed. He had already undressed her and placed her into one of his night shirts (yes I know he shouldn't had undressed her but we all know he had been dieing to for soooo long lol) He had also gotten undressed and was only in his dark green boxers. He couldn't help but chuckle at the image of Sakura's face when she woke up and saw the two of them like this. He looked at Sakura sleeping face before placing a small kiss on her forehead. "Night my ying-fa, sorry that I hurt you" with that he pulled her closer to him and let her steady breathing put them both to sleep.
Meanwhile in someone's hotel…
"yes mother it is horrible……yes he picked up a whore……yes she is Japanese mother…..I won't allow some filthy air head girl who is broke to take what is mines….of course mother…..really?...hahah what a great plan mother, I will tell my Syaoran the news tomorrow. Shall I also inform you that cousin Eriol has also picked a woman as well but she has money unlike the other one….then it shall be told tomorrow mother."
Oooooh looks like more trouble for the gang, as if I hadn't created enough drama. Lol but hey I know you all love it…I hope lol. Also I put a lot of Tomoyo and Eriol romance in this one cause I had promised to put in more romance for some of my big TxE fans. I hoped you all liked it.
