Should I Love You?
Chapter: Ten (Epilogue)
I Do
His conversation was interrupted by a familiar tune as everyone in the room turned their attention to the back of the church. A tiny smile creeped it's way around his curved lips as he watched in anticipation for the bride's entourage to make their way down the aisle. The flower girl innocently placed the petals of light pink cherry blossoms onto the long beige narrow carpet that stetched from the back to the front of the alter. Her short purple curls swayed back and forth as they stuck out from her ponytail almost smacking the ring bearer who struggled to walk beside her. Li laughed quietly as Oshi subtly tried to avoid the little lady's ponytail. Although, he did seemed relieved to be holding something other than flowers for once in his life.
It wasn't long after when the bride's maids elegantly walked arm in arm with their partners.
Meilin was the first lady down the aisle as she held on tightly to Zachary's arm, to make sure that he didn't fidget. Following shortly after Meilin and Zachary were the next two most important people in the lovers lives; Kimiyoshi and Shigeru. The pair walked proudly down the aisle to show their happiness and approval of the two lovers marriage, but the sadness still lurked within their eyes. They both gave a slight nod to Li as they passed him by. Lastly was the Maid of Honor, and the Best Man; Madison and Chiho. The simple elegance of the pale yellow gowns fit the women well as the shoulder straps fell slightly off their shoulders. The satin summer gowns remained fitting around their waist area to form the women's figure, but hung fairly loose after the waist to emphasize their slim figure. The familiar faces eased Li as he watched them smile, wink, or nodd at him before quietly taking their seats in the first row.
Suddenly the melody on the organ changed and Li felt like he had gone back into the past in Hong Kong. This time Li smiled as he watched his future bride walk carefully down the aisle, she didn't want to fall this time. Sakura kept her focus on Li, and he saw her smile from beneath the translucent veil covering her fair face. Time seemed to slow down as she slowly walked towards him, for the next few moments his world only consisted of the two of them. The music seemed to muffle into his ear as each petal she stepped on brought them closer and closer together. The fluttering butterflies that flew within his stomach was soon replaced by a warm loving feeling in his heart, and it showed through his amber eyes. As Sakura stepped on the last petal, and kissed her father on the cheek, Li gently linked his arm with hers and guided her the rest of the way to the alter. They only tripped once.
The day was filled with various sounds of laughing, crying, wine glasses clanging together in toast, speeches from familiar voices, cheering, singing, dancing, clapping, and silence. The unforgetable smiles exchanged between husband and wife, friends and family, and brothers and sisters will forever remain as forgotten memories to all those that matter. The tears that moved the hearts of many will always be a special memory shared between those who struggled for their dreams to come true, because a smile will keep you awake, but tears will help you fall asleep.
The magestic night finally came to an end as the couples waved goodbye to their lifetime friends and family. The night was young, the stars were bright, and there was no cloud in sight. The day ended the same way it began, and the two newly weds safely arrived at their new home. Everyone will always remember that special day in the late summer. Forever was in the eyes of those who cried that day.
The couple stared tiredly at the pile of luggage that was spread all over the floor, ready to be unloaded into the various rooms in the house. Li gently wrapped his arms around his new wife's waist and pulled her in close to his body. Sakura's heart beat slowed and let out a sigh of relief as she comfortably leaned against his chest. She placed her hand ontop of his as he rested his head beside hers near her shoulders. Her face tingled as several stands of Li's hair brushed up against her cheek. The sound of his breathing soothed her and she closed her eyes for a moment savoring the moment. With a smug smile on her face she quietly asked.
"Have you ever been tempted to kiss me?" The expression on his face was all she needed.
"What?" Li asked rather confused at the question. He quickly tighened his grip on her as if scared she'd run away from his embrace.
"Was there ever a time when you were tempted to kiss me?" Sakura asked and turned around to look at him. "But didn't?" she finished. Li didn't let go of her when she turned around. Sakura gently almost teasingly placed her hands on his chest. She had a humorous twinkle in her eye and Li caught on. His confused expression was slowly replaced with a slight curve at the corner of his lips. He swiftly switched positions so Sakura was leaning against the wall as he cornered her, his arms still wrapped possessively around her hips. She placed her hands behind her back and looked up at him innocently. Li lowered his head slowly and stopped a few inches away from her face.
"Is that an invitation?" He asked seductively with a confident grin. Sakura smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Li's hair dangled onto her face forcing a giggle out of Sakura. When she look up to see the expression on his face Sakura could feel her knees weaken. The warm look in his eyes were sincere but his slightly parted lips told her he wanted her. She raised her head closer to his.
"No," Sakura replied shaking her head slowly. Li wasn't broken, for he still had a teasing smirk upon his face. She closed the small gap between them and brushed her lips against his and muttered under her breath. "That's an order."

Well, that's it for this series! I'm really sorry I wasn't able to clear things up about how
Kimi felt about the whole situation, as well as the Li clan, but I just didn't think it would
fit into my plan. Actually, I wanted to explain it before, but I forgot to! Oh well. I just
hope that you liked the story, and I'll try to work on my next one soon! I've been wanting to
start it last year, but I was busy with this series. It's going to be an action/adventure/
romance/comedy fic between S+S. Oh I also might write a Meilin and Zachary one to show how they
got together in this story. Actually, it should be pretty funny considering that their
personalities clash. Oh well, wish me luck and thank you all who reveiwed, it means a lot to me.
Special thanks goes out to:
