Chapter 19
Sakura looked at him like he was from Mars. "What kinda question is that? Dope, I'm 19 remember."
"19!" Everyone cried out. Syaoron just smacked himself on the head. I'm getting to old for this.
"What's wrong with you guys. You guys know I'm 19!" Sakura snapped. She looked around and noticed that she was at Tomoyo's studio. But the last thing she remembered was being in a car with Eriol.
"Uh…hey guys…how did I get here? I thought I was in a car with Eriol. And what happened to Peter?"
Eriol looked at Syaoron and Tomoyo and just sighed. "Someone else explain please. I'm starting to get a migraine."
"Me too." Tomoyo said as she walked to the fridge for a cold drink.
Syaoron just sighed. Why do I always get stuck with the dirty work?
"Sakura…while Eriol was driving you and Peter…"
15 Minutes later and Sakura was all caught up. She was a bit dizzy from the bump on her head but otherwise perfectly fine.
"Syaoron…did I really act like a 7 year old?"
"HECK YEA…Drove me insane sometimes 'cause you were acting all innocent." Syaoron bursted out.
Eriol burst out laughing. "Looks like someone's been neglected to long…"
Sakura blushed before punching Syaoron in the arm. "Perv"
"So what are we doing here?" Sakura asked seeing all the dresses and shoes.
"We just finished trying on the clothes for Eriol and Tomoyo's wedding." Syaoron said as he grabbed a soda from the fridge.
"WHAT? YOU GUYS ARE GETTING MARRIED? I THOUGHT SYAORON AND I WERE GONNA GET MARRIED FIRST!" Sakura couldn't believe this.
"Well, you could've if you could remember that you were 19 and engaged, not 7 and in 2nd grade." Eriol said sarcastically.
Sakura just glared at him and mumbled "Shutup Hiragiizawa. It's not my fault you can't drive."
Eriol, who heard the last comment went wide-eyed and defensive. "HEY! It was dark out okay."
Tomoyo just laughed, she had her friend back, and just in the nick of time too. "After my wedding…I mean OUR wedding, I'll help you organize yours Sakura."
"OK! But let's leave the invites and seating arrangements to Eriol and Syaoron. Those are always boring anyway." Sakura snickered as she saw the look on the two men's faces.
"We're in trouble." Eriol and Syaoron said at the same time to each other.
Now that Sakura had her memory back, the first place they went to was the Li Mansion. Yelan was obviously thrilled to see that Sakura had her memory back and that she could finally resume her wedding prep for their wedding.
"Actually mother, we're gonna wait until Tomoyo and Eriol get married before we have ours." Syaoron noticed the dark expression that crossed Yelan's face when she heard this.
"Well, when exactly will that be." Yelan asked crossly.
"They're getting married next month, and then they'll probably take a 2 week honeymoon. So I'd say we wait about 2-3 months." Syaoron replied looking at the floor. He knew this would not go well with Yelan but there wasn't really anything he could do about it.
"Well, alright." Yelan still wasn't that happy but since Eriol and Tomoyo seemed to have everything set, she decided to go along with it. "It'll take a while to get the caterer's and hall reserved, and get the flowers and everything. At least we'll have some time."
"I don't even remember which flowers I chose. I guess Syaoron and I will just have to go back." Sakura smirked at Syaoron face expression when he heard that.
They ate lunch at the mansion before heading home. Sakura was tired, not to mention she had a headache from that bump on her head. As soon as they walked into their apartment, Sakura went straight to her room only to be greeted by shopping bags all over the floor.
"Uhh Syaoron, What's all this?" Sakura asked. She looked into some of the bags only to find 'strange' clothes.
Syaoron walked in behind Sakura and remembered all the shopping they had done yesterday.
"You're kidding me right. You're telling me that I chose these clothes?" Sakura dumped some of the contents of the bag out and on the floor.
Syaoron nodded. "Yup."
"And you're saying I paid money for this?" Sakura said.
"Yup."
"What the hell was I thinking!" Sakura was going through the clothes. "This is stuff I wore in junior high!"
"You can always go return them." Syaoron suggested as he put some of the scattered clothes back into the shopping bags.
Sakura looked around and got an idea. "No, let's donate it to an orphanage. There are a lot in Tokyo anyway."
Syaoron just nodded and helped Sakura get the clothes back into the bags and carry them outside.
Sakura wasn't in the mood to drive and neither was Syaoron so he called his driver and had him drive them to an orphanage.
They walked inside Central Tokyo Orphanage, and were greeted by one of the volunteers there.
"Hello, What can I do for you today?" she greeted them.
Sakura smiled as she shook the girl's hand and said, "Hi, I'm Sakura and I'd like to donate some clothes."
The girl smiled and showed Sakura and Syaoron into the director's office. "He'll be in shortly."
Sakura and Syaoron looked around the office and in no time, the director walked inside.
"Hello, I am Mr. Ken, I run the orphanage."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Ken. I'm Sakura and this is Syaoron. We just wanted to donate some clothes."
"Well, the children could always use some nice clothes. Let's see what you got." They went through the bags and bags of clothing and Mr. Ken nodded. "These will fit on the older children. Thank you very much for your kind donation. By the looks of it, they seem to be new clothes."
"Yes they are. But I have so many clothes anyway so I don't really need anymore." Sakura said.
"Well thank you so much." Mr. Ken saw them to the door and put the clothing with the laundry to wash.
Back at their apartment, Syaoron and Sakura were getting ready for a board meeting at the HQ. Of course Syaoron had told Sakura what happened while she was "not herself" and boy was she PISSED.
"I can't believe they wanted to kick me out of my own company. MY OWN COMPANY. Does that even make any sense?" Sakura rambled on as she went over some papers.
"Well, today you can go kill them ok?"
Sakura smirked as she continued looking over the papers. Boy are they gonna get it. Sakura thought as she looked over the stocks.
Li HQ
The board members were all sitting in their usual seats at the conference table, with their cups of coffee or water, waiting for Li Syaoron to come in so they could hopefully convince him to take over Kinomoto Corp.
Oh how naive they are. Syaoron and Sakura walked into HQ, somehow getting in without anyone noticing that Sakura was 'back'. Syaoron and Sakura decided that Syaoron would go into the meeting first and see what the old bags wanted, and if the subject of Li Corp taking over Kinomoto Corp came up, Sakura would walk in and kill'em all.
The door to the conference room opened and in walked Li Syaoron, dressed in his usual suit, minus the tie, and his shirt had the first two buttons opened. All the members of the board greeted him and the meeting began. They first went over the companies progress and how the new projects were progressing. The stocks were up so the board members couldn't really complain. After everything that needed taking care of was taken care of, the room became quiet. Syaoron thought that their last meeting may have scared them out of trying to again suggest that he buy out Sakura's company.
"Well gentlemen, ladies, if there isn't anything else that needs to be discussed...-" Syaoron was cut of by the head of the board.
The head of the board took a quick look at the other board members before starting. "Well, actually Mr. Li, we would like to discuss the Kinomoto Corp. again. We really feel that you should buy the company. As Ms. Kinomoto has barely shown up at all for nearly a month or two, we feel she is neglecting the companies and its would be better if she-"
"Enough." Sakura said as she walked in the door. If looks could kill, all the board members would have been dead. Syaoron took one look at Sakura's face and knew that the board members were toast. Poor old bags, they were really gonna get it now.
"You dare to try and kick me out of MY OWN COMPANY. Fools, even if Syaoron had agreed, the board members of the KinomotoCorp. would never have agreed." Sakura glared at each member of the board and felt each all of them flinch under her gaze.
The head of board stood up and hesitatingly addressed Sakura. "Ms. Kinomoto, we didn't mean any disrespect. It's just that, you haven't shown up to the office for a very long time, nad we just thought you lost interest in running the company. So we thought it would be better if Mr. Li just bought out the company. "
"I'm pretty sure that Mr. Li told you that I was out because of personal reasons, not to mention i had been in a severe car accident after that fundraiser auction. Which every single member of this board attended and should've therefore known what happened." Sakura wasn't going to buy that lame excuse.
The head looked pretty nervous now. He tried to think of something to say but Sakura just cut him off each time because it wasn't a legitimate reason. He knew and she knew it. Sakura could sense the head becoming more nervous by the second.
"I'll let this little incident slide this time. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again." Sakura walked out of the conference room.
"I told you not to mess with her." Syaoron said as he headed towards the door also.
All the board members just let out a sigh of relief when Sakura left.
AT HOME
After leaving the meeting, Sakura and Syaoron decided to eat out at the new Italian Restaurant that opened up a block from their home. Afterwards, they went to watch a movie, The Pink Panther.
They arrived home at about 9pm and Sakura went straight to her room to get ready for bed. When she came out of the bathroom, she noticed Syaoron's dazed expression.
"What's wrong Syaoron?" Sakura sat next to Syaoron on the couch.
"Nothing." Syaoron muttered as he turned on the tv.
Sakura smirked at his answer and went to sit next to him. "Who're you trying to fool. I can tell that something's bothering you now tell me."
"Too many things happening at the same time. The lack of sleep, and stressing over everything has taken its toll on me. I'm just exhausted that's all." Syaoron took Sakura's hand and pulled her into his lap. "At least you're here to help me with things now."
"What are you talking about. I was always here. Just didn't have my memory is all."
"Yea, but you were so naive and innocent. Not to mention too soft-hearted at the time. If I had told you what the board members wanted me to do, you would've told me to go along with it because you were too scared to confront them." Syaoron smirked at Sakura's appalled expression. "And you should've seen your face when I kissed you. TOMATO RED." Syaoron teased as he watched Sakura's face turn bright shades of red.
"Well,...what do you expect from a girl who thinks she's 7."
"HAHA, well let's see if you turn red this time." Syaoron flipped her down on to the sofa so that he was now lying on top of her and crashed his lips on hers. Sakura's eyes went wide for a split second before she got lost in the feeling of his warm lips on top of his. She felt his hands exploring her body and soon, she was doing the same. His tongue met her lips before entering into her mouth and battling her own tongue. Neither wanted to break apart, but their oxygen-less lungs said otherwise and the two broke apart gasping in large amounts of air.
"You have no idea how much I wanted to hold you, kiss you, and touch you. But I didn't want you running off on me. But now, you're gonna get it." Syaoron picked Sakura up and carried her back to his room. What happened in the room, is only for lovers to know.
AN: Yea yea, crappy ending I know, but you have no idea how many times I re-wrote this chapter only to have it deleted because my stupid computer crashed and I never got to save it completely. And after writing it a couple times, you just get tired of it. xD
