A Love Story- Chapter Two

A Love Story- by Aneko-chan

Summary: Kinomoto Sakura was a 16 year old tomboy and a very beautiful one. Even though she was a tomboy, the whole male population would swoon around her and would ask her out. She rejects them. But then one day her father tells her that she’s engaged to a certain boy called Li Syaoran.

Chapter Two- Meeting

Sakura went downstairs and saw her dad cooking dinner. She took out her cell phone and pressed the phone book. She pressed down and down until she reached the name ‘Touya’. She smiled wickedly. She pressed call. She pressed the phone to her ear and waited. Fujitaka looked at her.

“Sakura, who are you calling?” He asked, hoping it won’t be Touya. Lucky for him, he guessed correct. Sakura smiled at him and went back upstairs. Fujitaka stood there and finally he came to his senses and turned around and went to check the cake he was cooking for dessert. Sakura was in her room waiting for her 21-year old brother to pick up his phone.

“Moshi Moshi. Kinomoto Touya speaking.” The man said.

“Hi Onii-chan. It’s me Sakura.”

“Kaijuu? What are you doing calling me now? I’m working here!”

“Sakura no Kaijuu!” She heard chuckling on the other side of the phone. She growled.

“Anyways, what I wanted to tell you is that did Otou-san ever tell you that I’m engaged to a certain guy that I have never met?” Sakura asked.

“NANI? NOW WHO’S THE GAKI?” Touya yelled, making Sakura’s ears hurt.

“Calm down, you’re making my ears hurt baka.” She said, rubbing her ears. She heard angry sighing going on.

“Alright. Now who’s the person engaged to you?” Touya said, calming down.

“If I tell you, don’t hurt him yet. I want to know what kind of person is he. Unless if he’s an Ecchi, than I’ll let you hurt him. But if he’s nice and caring, then no you may not hurt him when you come back to Tomeada. BUT I won’t tell you his name yet.” She said, making him growl in anger.

“I’ll come back to Tomoeda as soon as I can.” He said, making Sakura smile.

“That’s better! Anyways…I just knew today that I was engaged.”

“Grrr…if that Gaki lays a hand on you, then I’m gonna…” Sakura hears a knock on the door.

“Oh…Gomen…gotta go. I’ll talk to you later, Ja ne!” Sakura quickly hanged up the phone. Her father opened the door.

“Sakura, dinner is ready.” Sakura smiled and nodded.

“Alright, thanks Otou-san!” She said. Fujitaka smiled.

“Oh yeah, Sakura, we’ll have guests tonight for dinner.” He said.

“Who’s the guests? Do I know them?” Sakura asked, hoping it was her friends.

“It’s Yelan and her son and daughters.” He replied, making Sakura’s eyes widened.

“HOOOOOEEEEEEEE! They’re coming over! FOR DINNER!” She yelled out, making Fujitaka cover his ears from the loud yell.

“Yes they are coming over and you must be nice to them. Don’t be rude, Sakura.” He said, walking out of her room.

“I won’t be rude…” Sakura grumbled. Then she went downstairs and looked at the food her dad was cooking. She smelled the food’s scent. Mmm…Ramen…Then the doorbell rang. Uh oh. Sakura gulped.

“Sakura, get the door please.” Fujitaka said, almost done cooking dinner.

“Ok, Otou-san.” She said, and went to the front door. She took a deep breath and opened the door……

SYAORAN

Syaoran looked at his mother and four sisters. They’re forcing him to go to his fiancee’s house! And now their dragging him there. He gulped, sweat everywhere on his body. When he saw his mother ring the doorbell, his sisters keep giggling and he rolled his eyes. The door opened to reveal a girl about a year younger than him. She had waist length aurban hair and beautiful emerald eyes. She stared at us, especially him. He gulped once more. She looked back at his mother.

“You must be Yelan Li. My father was expecting you.” She said, smiling. Yelan, Syaoran’s mother smiled back, and nodded.

“Yes. So you must be Kinomoto Sakura.” Yelan said. The girl called Sakura nodded. Then a second later, Syaoran’s sisters pounced on Sakura.

“SHE’S SO KAWAII!” One of the sisters squealed.

SAKURA

What the---! Sakura thought as she saw four older girls pounced on her. She fell back to the floor.

“SHE’S SO KAWAII!” One of the girls said.

“SHE’S SO PRETTY!” Another one of them said. Sakura rolled her eyes as Yelan’s voice stopped them.

“Enough girls. We’re here to eat dinner with the Kinomotos, not to pounce on them.” Yelan said. Then the girls got off Sakura. She sighed in relief. She then saw a hand offering to help her up. She looked up and met face to face with Li Syaoran. She smiled and took the offering hand.

“Uh…sorry about that. My sisters like to do that a lot. I hope you don’t mind.” Syaoran said, his hand on his head. Sakura smiled. He’s not a bad guy and not perverted, thank goodness he’s cute also. Wait. What am I thinking! She thought as she looked at him. He had messy brown hair and piercing amber eyes. Any girl would swoon over him like the guys would swoon for Sakura.

“That’s okay. I don’t mind it at all.” She said. Syaoran smiled. She’s not bad at all, and not flirty looking and overtalkative. Maybe this engagement is okay for now. Besides, she’s beautiful. Wait a minute, what am I thinking! I’ve got to be mean and harsh! Syaoran shook his head. Sakura looked at him.

“Hey, are you okay?” She asked him. Syaoran looked at her.

“Yeah. I’m okay.” He said, and walked passed her. Sakura looked at him. What’s his problem? She thought, looking at him oddly. She shrugged her shoulders and closed the door and went into the kitchen.

“Ah, Yelan! It’s been a long time since I saw you.” Fujitaka said, smiling. Yelan nodded. They sat at the dinner table.

“So, Xiao Lang, I see you have met your fiancee.” Yelan said. Syaoran looked at Yelan and then at Sakura.

“Yeah. But she dresses like a guy.” He said. Sakura glared at him.

“Is there a problem with me dressing as a guy?” She said in a low tone, dangerously. Syaoran shrugged his shoulders.

“Yeah. It’s just that I don’t like girls who are tomboys to be my future wife. I especially hate tomboys.” Syaoran said. An angry vein popped out on sakura’s head.

“YOU HAVE NO RESPECT, YOU INSENSITIVE JERK!” She yelled at him. Yelan, her daughters, and Fujitaka looked at the argument with amusement. They’re getting along! They all thought, smiling. Sakura and Syaoran didn’t notice.

“WELL, I DON’T WANT A UGLY TOMBOY TO BE MY FUTURE WIFE! GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?” He yelled back. Sakura gave him an evil glare.

“YEAH I DO! UNFORTUNATELY I LIKE DRESSING LIKE A TOMBOY, YOU NO MANNERED JERK!” She yelled.

“I HAVE MANNERS WELL, NOT TO YOU!” He yelled, making Sakura groan.

“THAT’S IT! OTOU-SAN! CAN I BE EXCUSED?” Sakura faced her dad, he nodded. She stomped back upstairs and slammed her door closed. Syaoran smirked. This is getting good somewhere. He thought as he finished eating his food. Fujitaka smiled and turned to Yelan.

“Yelan. Why not stay the night? Besides, we have plenty of room here.” Yelan nodded.

“Alright then. We will.” Yelan’s daughters squealed and Syaoran’s eyes widened.

“WHAT? MOTHER! HOW COULD YOU? I DON’T WANT TO SLEEP IN THE SAME HOUSE AS THAT-THAT UGLY TOMBOY!” He yelled. Yelan gave him a ‘we’re staying and that’s that’ look. Syaoran instantly shut up. This is going to be a looonnnnnggggg night…… He thought.
