Sakura stormed into their room furious with a passive Syaoran following not too far behind.
"That's a wise choice Sakura. A woman should be near her husband Sakura. You need to support him and to be in his protection Sakura. You never know what could happen to a young lady walking the streets by herself Sakura. She ranted in a high mocking tone to no one in particular. "UGH! Screw you YELEN!" She shouted at the closed door that separated her from the woman she had yelled at.
She turned to Syaoran now who looked only a little scared of her at the moment, not saying anything for fear of getting his hand bitten off if he didn't let her continue her angry rant. "Does she even know how many black belts I have? I TEACH A BLOODY MARTIAL ARTS CLASS!! Is it what I want to do for the rest of my life? Hell no, but I certainly wont be taken advantage of 'wandering the streets by myself!' I'll kick whoever is attacking me's ASS!!!. And speaking of my life plans! WHAT kind of right do you have announcing my future like that to your mother! Who the hell gave you that right! I haven't even told you anything about what I really want to do with my future! What the HELL do you know! And 'Stay by my husbands side!'? I'm not some submissive wife from a hundred years ago! I'll do whatever the hell I please! And what the hell are you laughing about! Get that smile off your face this instant Li Syaoran or I swear I'll-"
"You'll what?" Syaoran said cockily, approaching her with a confident smile. "You'll what? Hit me? Kick my sorry butt into the next dimension with all of those outstanding black belts of yours? Ravish me with kisses till I can no longer breathe? Cause you know, I'd really prefer the latter" He punctuated his words with a peck on her lips, the action calming her considerably. "Though, if you decide to kill me, I do imagine you'd be rather lonely without me." He smiled caressing her hair, looking into her smiling eyes.
"You have a very...skewed imagination. Don't you know I have a line of people waiting for me outside the minute I decide to leave you."
"Well then," Syaoran added with a smile bringing her into his arms, "we'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen now don't we." Both smiled leaning towards each other for a kiss that Sakura sidestepped a small scowl on her face, hands on her hips, as she stared at Syaoran trying to regain his lost balance.
"Don't think you get off the hook that easily mister."
Syaoran rolled his eyes sighing, "can't blame a guy for trying."
A small knock was heard and the door and neither moved to answer. Sakura just glared at her husband expectantly tapping her foot on the rug waiting for him to move. Syaoran let a small smile don his face and bowed mockingly at 'her highness', and went to open the door for his sister who had a worried expression on her face.
"Are you guys ok? I heard yelling…."
Syaoran shrugged at her smiling, "Everything is fine. You know no one can resist my…charm"
Leimei recoiled from her brother laughing. "EEEEeeewww! Baby brother!! Please! Don't even joke about that in front of me! And stop taking advantage of that poor girl!"
Syaoran laughed, "So what's the real reason you came up here in the first place sis? I'm sure it wasn't to hear the glorious sounds of love being consummated."
Syaoran watched amused at the embarrassed look on his sisters' face and the scandalized gasp of Sakura behind him, just barely dodging the shoe Sakura threw at his head.
"Yeah, well, Wei wanted me to tell Sakura, you know, the good one, your better half, that everything is ready for today. Though he wouldn't tell me exactly what."
At this both looked back to see Sakura skipping towards the closet to put on a pair of comfortable sandals before rushing to the door hugging Feimei in thanks before grabbing Syaoran by the shirt collar, dragging him out the door and down the hall.
Feimei smiled before remembering Syaoran's earlier words and shook her head, thoroughly disturbed, silently wishing that Sakura would be a positive influence on her brother and convince him to stop making such lewd jokes. Though of course, she thought with a smile, he would hardly be the same Syaoran without his unique sense of humor.
Syaoran sat in the passenger seat of his car grumbling impatiently at the passing scenery before finally turning to Sakura. "Are you sure you're not going to tell me where I just agreed to go today?"
"Yes, quite sure. And if you don't stop complaining I'll just leave you at home next time."
"Oh, that's all it takes? Really? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Sakura looked at him annoyed, "Syaoran Li, you are on thin ice mister. Don't think I've forgiven you for this morning. Not by a long shot. And you will not ruin the perfect day I have planed."
"And what have you got planned exactly?" he said coyly, leaning over from the passenger seat in an attempt to kiss her. Sakura saw him from the corner of her eye and smirked, placing a hand over his face, pushing him back into his seat.
"Not while I'm driving mister."
Syaoran pouted crossing his arms before sending her his coy smile. "Then pull over."
"I could, but then we'd never get to the-... there. And besides, I know this is all just a ploy to get me to tell you something, and I'll have you know I am not so easily swayed. Despite what you may think, that mouth of yours can't fix everything."
"well," Syaoran said after a slight pause, "it can try."
Sakura simply rolled her eyes and continued driving.
"A park?" Syaoran said almost disbelieving
"Yep!" Sakura said cheerfully, taking his hand in hers as they began walking. "It occurred to me the other day that we have never been on a date, and I don't see why a little arranged marriage should exempt you from the common courtship period we know as 'dating'."
Syaoran couldn't help but look at her with a raised brow. "You want me to court you?"
Sakura nodded smiling, "Yes. Win my heart Syaoran Li."

and all you anonymous' out there for reviewing and sticking with me thus far. I hope to have the next chapter up….well….I really cant say when since the last time I said soon it ended up being like 9-10 months, but hopefully within the month. -.-"
And just to show ya'll that I've already started writing the next chapter, here's the first bit.
Syaoran looked at her with a deadpan stare. He couldn't help but thinking, 'well that's bloody stupid! I've already won it haven't I? We're bloody married for crying out loud! You choseme. There's nothing to win if I've already won it.' But all that escaped his mouth was, "Uh…o…k?"
Sakura looked at him sadly and sighed releasing his hand. "Never mind. It's not important. Lets just go home."
Syaoran watched her walk the few steps back to the car confused. He'd said ok. He would court her. Isn't that what she wanted? He brought his hand up, scratching his head, ever the image of a confused male
