Cutting&nbsp;<br> the cake seemed like a relatively safe and easy activity compared to the ceremony thus&nbsp;<br> far. Really what could go wrong with cutting the cake? Or so they thought.&nbsp;<br> <br> Unfortunately when the cake arrived there seemed to be two stuffed animals sitting on the&nbsp;<br> cart busy stuffing their faces with the aforementioned cake. To the casual observer the&nbsp;<br> groom seemed to have turned an unusual shade of red whether from anger- though what&nbsp;<br> he had to be angry about was a mystery- or from embarrassment was unknown, while the&nbsp;<br> bride seemed about ready to faint. From the cart the guest could here a high-pitched voice&nbsp;<br> with a quite distinctive Osaka dialect mumbling, “Ora, ora,” while another high-pitched&nbsp;<br> voice seemed to be singing an off key version of “Catch You, Catch Me.”<br> <br> Sakura stared in horror at the scene before and groaned, “Kero-chan! What have you&nbsp;<br> done?” as she tried desperately to block the guests’ view of the cake. The one good thing&nbsp;<br> about the situation though was that at least Tomoyo had insisted upon being the one to&nbsp;<br> record the wedding, therefore there was no cameraman about to witness the scene before&nbsp;<br> her and panic at the site of a talking plush toy.<br> <br> The former Clow Card guardian looked up at his mistress with his beady black eyes and&nbsp;<br> replied calmly, “I was getting hungry waiting for that ceremony to finish and stumbled&nbsp;<br> upon this cake.” Turning to Eriol’s now drunken and hyper guardian, who was still&nbsp;<br> singing and stuffing his face, Kero demanded, “Oi...Suppi leave some for me.”<br> <br> The cat-like guardian didn’t bother replying to his fellow guardian but instead bellowed&nbsp;<br> out in his high-pitched voice, “Hora Catch You. Hic. Catch You. Hic. Catch Me. Hic.&nbsp;<br> Catch Me matte. Hic. Kocchi o muite. Hic. Suki da to itte. Hic. Sou Nice To Meet You.&nbsp;<br> Hic. Good To See You kitto. Hic...”<br> <br> “...” Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Kero thought as they watched the little guardian sing&nbsp;<br> on blithely unaware of the commotion he was causing.<br> <br> Turning back to Kero-chan Syaoran demanded angrily, “How did Suppi happen to get&nbsp;<br> into the cake?!?”&nbsp;<br> <br> From behind him Eriol’s deep voice answered, “Oh I left him there to watch over the&nbsp;<br> cake.”<br> <br> “And I kinda decided that it would be fun to get him to taste-test the cake.” Kero added.<br> <br> As the group was busy trying to yet again restrain Syaoran from strangling the “stuffed&nbsp;<br> toy” and his “demented relative”, Suppi-chan decided that that would be a good time to&nbsp;<br> take his show on the road, so to speak. He flew over the crowds as several of the guests&nbsp;<br> saw him and began screaming while others just looked at whatever it was they had been&nbsp;<br> drinking and wondered whether it was either spiked or had gone bad. Yamazaki who was&nbsp;<br> standing near the front with the wedding group seeing as how he was one of the groom’s&nbsp;<br> best men saw the stuffed animal take flight. He stared after them and then turned to&nbsp;<br> Chiharu and told her, “Chiharu-chan look! There’s a stuffed kitty flying through the air!”<br> <br> Chiharu turned to her husband with an exhausted look and replied, “Takashi! How many&nbsp;<br> times have I told you to stop telling your stories! No one except for Li-kun and Sakura-<br> chan believes them anymore.”<br> <br> “But I’m telling the truth this time! Look up there!” Yamazaki replied pointing at the&nbsp;<br> drunken guardian.<br> <br> “Hai, hai...” Chiharu started to say when Suppi decided to fly past her face. Chiharu&nbsp;<br> blinked several times in confusion before looking down at her wineglass and then placing&nbsp;<br> it firmly down on the table before muttering to herself, “I think I’ve had to much to drink.&nbsp;<br> Takashi’s stories are becoming true.”&nbsp;<br> <br> Alerted by the guests’ screaming the group in front of the cake turned around to see what&nbsp;<br> the commotion was all about. The sight of Suppi performing aerial stunts all the while&nbsp;<br> still singing “Fruits Candy” assaulted their eyes. Blinking in confusion they turned to&nbsp;<br> look at the now vacated seat Suppi had occupied until a few moments before. They&nbsp;<br> turned their attention back to him just in time to see him perform a three-sixty loop-to-<br> loop in midair and then take a nosedive into the punch bowl.&nbsp;<br> <br> Unable to take the pressures of the day anymore, Sakura did the first thing that came to&nbsp;<br> mind. She fainted. Luckily for her Syaoran happened too be standing close to her at that&nbsp;<br> moment and managed to break out of his stupor in time to catch her before she landed&nbsp;<br> face first in the ruined cake. Taking his chance to escape before the gaki noticed him&nbsp;<br> again Kero discretely flew over to the punch bowl and peered in. Seeing his friend&nbsp;<br> hovering over the bowl Suppi decided to “invite” him in. He roughly grabbed Kero’s&nbsp;<br> tufted tail and swung him about until Kero’s eyes became mere swirls then pulled him&nbsp;<br> down into the punchbowl.<br> <br> As soon as Kero’s face hit the surface of the bowl, the punch entered his mouth and he&nbsp;<br> began to automatically gulp it down to avoid drowning in the stuff. The punch though&nbsp;<br> seemed to have an unusual effect on him causing his face to become flushed as he too&nbsp;<br> became hyper and joined Suppi in his off key rendition of “Fruits Candy”. The two sat in&nbsp;<br> the punch bowl singing the aforementioned song quite loudly with occasional hiccups&nbsp;<br> punctuating certain phrases while the majority of the guests again began wondering what&nbsp;<br> they were drinking. Finally bored and wanting more attention the two guardians took to&nbsp;<br> the sky again this time singing and doing a drunken aerial version of the tango with one&nbsp;<br> another with Suppi leading.<br> <br> Sakura began to wake up and groaned loudly distracting Syaoran who after catching her&nbsp;<br> and setting her down had been advancing on Eriol with a furious expression on his face.&nbsp;<br> Casting a final glare at his relative Syaoran returned to his love’s side and helped her to&nbsp;<br> sit up.&nbsp;<br> <br> After sitting up Sakura’s eyes landed upon the scene before her. It was not a pretty scene.&nbsp;<br> Tomoyo, Touya, Yukito, and Fujitaka were trying desperately to reassure the guests&nbsp;<br> while Eriol stood to the side watching the scene before him with avid interest lighting his&nbsp;<br> dark violet eyes. Nakuru was rolling on the floor laughing unabashedly wrinkling the&nbsp;<br> beautiful red kimono that Eriol had sewed for him. Sakura sniffed, then the sniffle&nbsp;<br> became several sniffles until she just began sobbing dejectedly into her hands.&nbsp;<br> <br> Seeing Sakura crying softly to herself Syaoran left off glaring at his relative and turned to&nbsp;<br> face his love. Hugging her shaking body to him he whispered softly into her ear, “Why&nbsp;<br> are you crying, love?”<br> <br> “Oh Syaoran, sniff, I wanted today to be so perfect, sniff, but it’s ruined!” Sakura wailed.<br> <br> “Today isn’t ruined. Today is absolutely perfect!” Syaoran replied empathetically,&nbsp;<br> hugging her closer to him.<br> <br> “How can you say that? I arrived here drunk because Kero-chan had to give me wine to&nbsp;<br> try to calm me down. Wine of all things! He knows I don't hold my alcohol well. Then&nbsp;<br> Eriol had to cast that storm to drive the wedding indoors, and onii-chan lost the ring, then&nbsp;<br> Kero-chan and Suppi-chan ate all the cake. Now all the guests are in a panic because the&nbsp;<br> two of them are flying around singing ‘Butterfly’ and dancing along to it.” Sakura cried.<br> <br> Just then Kero-chan and Suppi-chan decided to fly past the couple to give them a front&nbsp;<br> row seat of their performance. The two sang in unison, “Ay, iyaiyai...hic...Ay,&nbsp;<br> iyaiyai...hic...Ay, iyaiyai. Where's my samurai?”<br> <br> At that point Suppi-chan took over to sing the first verse, “I've been searching...hic...for a&nbsp;<br> man, all across Japan...hic. Just to find...hic..., to find my samurai.”<br> <br> Kero-chan cut in at that point to sing the next verse, “ Someone who...hic...is strong, but&nbsp;<br> still...hic...a little shy. Yes I need, I...hic...need my samurai.”<br> <br> Suppi-chan joined his voice in with Kero-chan’s voice now to sing the refrain, “Ay, Ay,&nbsp;<br> Ay, I'm...hic...your little butterfly. Green, black and...hic...blue, make the colors in the&nbsp;<br> sky. Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little...hic...butterfly. Green, black and blue, make the&nbsp;<br> colors...hic...in the sky.”<br> <br> Sakura and Syaoran stared at the two little stuffed animals for a few moments in shock.&nbsp;<br> They heard Touya murmuring to himself, “Well one of them is blue and has butterfly&nbsp;<br> wings, but they don’t look anything like a butterfly. They look more like drunken stuffed&nbsp;<br> animals.”<br> <br> “I knew you shouldn’t have gotten him that Dance Dance Revolution game for&nbsp;<br> Christmas.” Syaoran told Sakura, grimacing as the strains of the song reached his ear.<br> <br> Sakura attempted to smile weakly up at him but the smile cracked before she even got&nbsp;<br> halfway and she broke into fits of sobbing again. Panicking now Syaoran cried, “Gomen&nbsp;<br> nasai! That was thoughtless of me. It was a bad joke. Please stop crying Sakura. I can’t&nbsp;<br> stand to see you cry. But I wasn’t lying when I said today is perfect. Today is perfect&nbsp;<br> because today Sakura promised to belong to me forever. Nothing could make today less&nbsp;<br> than perfect when you love me and belong to me.” Syaoran told her kissing her forehead&nbsp;<br> tenderly.&nbsp;<br> <br> This time Sakura did manage to crack a smile for him but still said sadly, “I know. You&nbsp;<br> loving me makes me the happiest woman in the world, but I just wish things went as&nbsp;<br> planned. We worked so hard to get things to be perfect and all our plans are ruined now.”<br> <br> “It would have been nice to have everything turn out as we had planned it but that’s just&nbsp;<br> extra. All I need is you. As long as you’re here with me everything is perfect in my eyes.”&nbsp;<br> Syaoran told her before mumbling softly, “Of course that won’t stop me from strangling&nbsp;<br> that jerk and those two stuffed animals once this is all over.”<br> <br> Sakura giggled at the chagrin in her new husband’s voice and told him, “I don’t think I’ll&nbsp;<br> try to stop you this time.”<br> <br> Syaoran smiled down at her relieved to see her smiling once more. Tears unless they&nbsp;<br> were tears of happiness hence accompanied by one of her brilliant smiles did not suit&nbsp;<br> Sakura. Getting up he offered his hand to help her up and Sakura willingly accepted.&nbsp;<br> Gently lifting her to her feet Syaoran asked, “So what should we do now?”<br> <br> Having regained her calm Sakura replied, “I guess we could try catching them and tying&nbsp;<br> them up until they go to sleep.”<br> <br> “That might work, but can we tie Hiiragizawa up and throw him to the storm while we’re&nbsp;<br> at it?” Syaoran asked turning hopeful eyes towards his bride.<br> <br> Sakura gave him a considering look before shaking her head, “No I don’t think Tomoyo-<br> chan would like that too much. I mean she might want to keep him around for her&nbsp;<br> wedding rather than have him fried by the lightning. A wedding without the groom&nbsp;<br> wouldn’t work all that well.”&nbsp;<br> <br> Looking crestfallen Syaoran replied, “I suppose you’re right and we do owe Daidouji one&nbsp;<br> for helping us arrange this wedding. It would have been nice to leave him to the storm&nbsp;<br> though. Let’s go catch those two stuffed animals now then.”<br> <br> It turned out that they didn’t need to go after the two drunken guardians since finally&nbsp;<br> worn out from their dancing and singing they floated down onto the table and fell fast&nbsp;<br> asleep. Tomoyo hurried to over to the table where they landed and grabbed the two&nbsp;<br> snoring plushies and hastened to tuck them up inside a small basket she found.&nbsp;<br> <br> The guest and wedding party all breathed a sigh of relief hoping that everything might&nbsp;<br> now be able to settle down into a semblance of normalcy but alas their hopes were&nbsp;<br> unfulfilled. They headed off for the wedding reception that was being held in a hotel&nbsp;<br> banquet hall. When they entered the banquet hall they found Yukito and Nakuru standing&nbsp;<br> by the near empty buffet table stuffing themselves. How the two of them had managed to&nbsp;<br> get in there and eat almost all the food up in such a brief amount of time was anyone’s&nbsp;<br> guess.<br> <br> Seeing the startled and tired looks on everyone’s faces Yukito looked down at the table&nbsp;<br> and noticed for the first time the empty plates that held no more than crumbs. Tapping&nbsp;<br> Nakuru who was still stuffing his face with food on the shoulder he whispered quietly, “I&nbsp;<br> think that we’ve eaten too much.”<br> <br> “But I’m still hungry!” Nakuru whined.<br> <br> Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Touya sweatdropped not doubting for a second that those&nbsp;<br> two were still hungry, unfortunately for them so was everyone else. Yukito gave them all&nbsp;<br> a guilty forlorn look and said, “Gomen nasai Sakura-chan, Syaoran-kun, but Akizuki-kun&nbsp;<br> and I got hungry waiting for everyone and started eating. I guess we just got carried&nbsp;<br> away.”<br> <br> “It’s okay Yukito-san. I guess we can just order out for Chinese or something though I&nbsp;<br> don’t think Chinese take-out would be greatly appreciated by half of the guests.” Sakura&nbsp;<br> replied trying to console the dejected looking Yukito.<br> <br> “That won’t be necessary.” Tomoyo interjected, “I thought that Tsukishiro-san and&nbsp;<br> Akizuki-san might have been hungrier than everyone else so I had another buffet table&nbsp;<br> prepared. Let me call the caterers to bring in the refills for this table and the other table so&nbsp;<br> that everyone can eat as much as they want.”&nbsp;<br> <br> Sakura and Syaoran sighed in relief and beamed at the dark-haired girl in appreciation.&nbsp;<br> Turning to his koibito Syaoran said lightly trying to lighten the mood, “At least the two&nbsp;<br> plushies aren’t here to gobble up the rest of the food.”<br> <br> Tomoyo hurried off to call the caterers to bring in more food. The caterers who had&nbsp;<br> expected that when Tomoyo placed the order, that she was just being precautious just&nbsp;<br> started dumbly at her completely not comprehending the fact that two people managed to&nbsp;<br> eat that much food in so little time. After breaking out of their stupor they headed off to&nbsp;<br> bring in the food. Apparently they had not completely believed Tomoyo when she had&nbsp;<br> told them what happened because once they entered with the new plates of food they&nbsp;<br> stood in front of the tables frozen in shock at the site of the empty dishes starring back at&nbsp;<br> them. Shaking their heads in wonderment they set the dishes down and prayed that that&nbsp;<br> would be enough food to sate the appetites of the two people watching them hungrily.<br> <br> The guests settled down to eat and everything was going as planned for once in the whole&nbsp;<br> hectic day. Sakura and Syaoran had circled the room receiving congratulations and&nbsp;<br> wishes for their happiness from everyone well with the exception of one disgruntled onii-<br> chan who wished that they wouldn’t last longer than the evening.&nbsp;<br> <br> Finally everyone finished eating and the tables were moved to the side to clear more&nbsp;<br> room for the dancing. The tables were cleared before everyone realized that the band still&nbsp;<br> had not arrived. Syaoran looked at Sakura and asked her, "Did you hire a band?”<br> <br> Shaking her head negatively she replied, “Tomoyo-chan said that she would handle it.”&nbsp;<br> <br> They both turned to Tomoyo who was now throwing Eriol a deadly glare, “Hiirizagawa-<br> kun! I thought I told you to call the band for me! Now I can’t videotape Sakura-chan and&nbsp;<br> Li-kun dancing together and looking like the perfect couple.”<br> <br> Eriol smiled back at her but to the trained observer the smile seemed forced since Eriol&nbsp;<br> was no idiot and knew his slight lapse in memory would land him on the couch for a&nbsp;<br> week and told her, “I must have forgotten. I asked Nakuru to remind me.”<br> <br> “You trusted that thing to remind you to do something!” Syaoran screeched in utter&nbsp;<br> disbelief.<br> <br> “When you put it that way I suppose it wasn’t such a good idea.” Eriol answered&nbsp;<br> sheepishly still smiling though his smile was starting to wither under Tomoyo’s deadly&nbsp;<br> glare.<br> <br> “You think!?!” Syaoran roared sarcastically.&nbsp;<br> <br> Sakura watched as her husband was yet again advancing on Eriol with the intent to kill.&nbsp;<br> Thinking to herself she suddenly got a brilliant idea. Turning to Tomoyo she asked,&nbsp;<br> “Tomoyo-chan could you get my purse for me?”<br> <br> Tomoyo turned to give her best friend a searching look but ran to retrieve Sakura’s purse.&nbsp;<br> Returning with the purse she handed it to Sakura and waited to see what the auburn-<br> haired girl would do. Sakura motioned for the group to close in around her and pulled out&nbsp;<br> her pack of Sakura cards. Understanding what she meant to do the group shielded her&nbsp;<br> from everyone’s view. Sakura pulled out her key from around her neck where she still&nbsp;<br> wore it and chanted, “Key that holds the power of the stars, show your true form. Under&nbsp;<br> the compact, I, Sakura, command you, RELEASE!”<br> <br> The key grew in size until it was as tall as she was. Taking out the Song Card Sakura&nbsp;<br> ordered it, “Create beautiful music, Song!” and struck the card with her wand. The card&nbsp;<br> glowed with a bright light and from the card emerged the figure of a beautiful lady.&nbsp;<br> Sakura smiled at her and motioned her on stage. The Song smiled down at the Card&nbsp;<br> Mistress and obliged. Stepping up onto the stage she began singing. Her beautiful melody&nbsp;<br> wafted through the air seemingly not needing any accompaniment.<br> <br> Turning to Sakura clad in her beautiful wedding gown, Syaoran offered her his hand.&nbsp;<br> Smiling up at him she placed her hand daintily in his and allowed him to lead her to the&nbsp;<br> dance floor. The two of them began swaying to the music truly content for the first time&nbsp;<br> that day. They danced lost in each other thus not noticing when other couples joined them&nbsp;<br> on the dance floor Touya stalking over towards them.<br> <br> Syaoran was blissfully dancing with his love holding her pressed tightly to his body when&nbsp;<br> he suddenly felt himself jerked from behind, and quite roughly jerked at that. Turning&nbsp;<br> around to yell at the person he can face to face with a fuming Touya. Glaring daggers at&nbsp;<br> the older man while Sakura stood to the side Syaoran demanded angrily, “What do you&nbsp;<br> think you’re doing?!?”<br> <br> “I was just about to ask you the same thing.” Touya replied coldly.<br> <br> “What did it look like I was doing? I was dancing with my new wife.” Syaoran replied&nbsp;<br> sarcastically.&nbsp;<br> <br> “I don’t care that the two of you are married now, but you are dancing way too close to&nbsp;<br> her. You better stay at least a foot away from my imouto!” Touya replied as his veins&nbsp;<br> popped out at the mention of the gaki married to his imouto.<br> <br> “Onii-chan! Leave us alone!” Sakura screamed at her older brother stomping over to him.<br> <br> “I don’t see what you see in this gaki to marry him in the first place. He’s an annoying&nbsp;<br> brat that probably is as clumsy as an ox and stepping all over your toes anyway. You&nbsp;<br> should thank me for making him dance far away from you so that he doesn’t step on your&nbsp;<br> toes.” Touya retorted turning to his sister.<br> <br> “He is not an annoying brat! I love him and if you don’t leave us alone my toes are not&nbsp;<br> the ones in danger!” Sakura told him as she stomped on his foot to make her point.<br> <br> Touya began hopping around on one foot from the pain caused by Sakura’s blow. In his&nbsp;<br> hopping he somehow managed to hop over to Syaoran and “accidentally” hop onto one of&nbsp;<br> Syaoran’s foot causing the wolf to howl in pain and begin hopping around too. Syaoran&nbsp;<br> glared at Touya pulling his foot back ready to give the older man a hard kick to the shins&nbsp;<br> when Yukito walked over and asked. “Syaoran-kun why aren’t you dancing with Sakura-<br> chan?”<br> <br> Touya glared at the snow bunny who was smiling cheerfully oblivious to the tension&nbsp;<br> surrounding the group. Sakura smiled up at Yukito and replied in her best ‘my onii-chan&nbsp;<br> is picking on me, could you do something about him Yukito-san voice’, “Touya won’t let&nbsp;<br> me dance with Syaoran-kun.”<br> <br> Yukito turned to Touya and gave him a reprimanding look, “To-ya how many times have&nbsp;<br> I told you to leave them alone. Sakura-chan is old enough to take care of herself now. I&nbsp;<br> know you have a sister complex, but enough is enough.”&nbsp;<br> <br> “Yeah you can stop being fixated on your sister and become fixated on me instead.”&nbsp;<br> Nakuru exclaimed running up to Touya and glomping him around the neck.<br> <br> Another vein popped out on Touya’s head as he tried to pry Nakuru’s fingers off of his&nbsp;<br> throat but to no avail. Taking Touya’s struggles as a sign of affection, Nakuru stated to&nbsp;<br> drag the protesting onii-chan off singing, “I’m going to dance with Touya-kun because he&nbsp;<br> is so yummy even if he doesn’t have his powers anymore.”<br> <br> All could be heard from Touya was a strangled, “HELP!”<br> <br> Sakura and Syaoran resumed their dancing. They swayed gently to the music. After a bit&nbsp;<br> they began to relax and move closer towards each other when Syaoran was suddenly&nbsp;<br> bumped from the side. Looking over to see who had bumped into him he saw Touya with&nbsp;<br> narrowed eyes and veins popping out all over his head being wildly swung about by&nbsp;<br> Nakuru. Shrugging it off as coincidence he resumed dancing and started to move closer&nbsp;<br> to Sakura again when he was yet again pushed to the side. Looking over again he saw&nbsp;<br> Touya glaring at him. Sighing he resigned himself to staying foot away from Sakura&nbsp;<br> since he did not fell like being bumped all over the place.<br> <br> Sakura meanwhile had been wondering why Syaoran was trying to stay away from her&nbsp;<br> when she felt someone bump her from behind pushing her into Syaoran. Sakura stumbled&nbsp;<br> and only regained her footing when Syaoran caught her and held her up. Turning around&nbsp;<br> she saw Eriol and Tomoyo dancing together and could have sworn she saw Tomoyo wink&nbsp;<br> at her.&nbsp;<br> <br> Syaoran after catching Sakura, held her tightly until he felt himself being bumped from&nbsp;<br> the side again. Sakura and Syaoran continued dancing being bumped by Touya from the&nbsp;<br> side when they were too close for his liking and from behind by Tomoyo and Eriol when&nbsp;<br> those two thought they were dancing too far apart. Overall the couple had a bruising&nbsp;<br> dance not caused by the clumsiness of the other but rather by the clumsiness or rather&nbsp;<br> interference of their friends and family.&nbsp;<br> <br> They continued to dance for a few more songs despite being knocked back and forth by&nbsp;<br> their friends and family when they heard a loud crash outside. Turning to the window&nbsp;<br> Syaoran frowned in concern since it seemed as if the storm was increasing in intensity.&nbsp;<br> Thunder boomed and lightning streaked across the sky as rain pelted down in heavy&nbsp;<br> torrents hitting the window with loud taps. Just then the storm seemed to confirm his&nbsp;<br> worries as a huge burst of lightning streaked across the sky. The lights inside the building&nbsp;<br> began to flicker on and off dangerously before they just completely gave up and went out.&nbsp;<br> The room was thrown into absolute darkness and a few shouts were heard throughout the&nbsp;<br> room.&nbsp;<br> <br> Grabbing Sakura firmly by her shoulder Syaoran pulled her close to him. Stroking her&nbsp;<br> back in a comforting manner and resting his cheek against her silky hair Syaoran told her&nbsp;<br> in as an assuring of a voice as possible, “I’ll be right back. We need to get the lights back&nbsp;<br> on and I think to do that I need to find the fuse box. I’m pretty sure that the lights went&nbsp;<br> out because the storm that demented magician created caused the fuse to blow. I’m going&nbsp;<br> to go see if I can fix it. You stay right here and I’ll come back to you once I’m done.”<br> <br> Syaoran felt Sakura nod her head complacently and then he released her to go search for&nbsp;<br> the fuse box. His eyes that were slowly beginning to adjust to the darkness managed to&nbsp;<br> make out the outlines of people although he couldn’t tell who they were but that at least&nbsp;<br> allowed him to search for the fuse box without bumping into anyone.<br> <br> As he was crossing the dance floor though he felt someone grab him from behind. Strong&nbsp;<br> arms wrapped around him as he felt the person rest his head against his shoulder and sigh&nbsp;<br> warily. Syaoran began to struggle a bit but the person just held him tighter. The person let&nbsp;<br> out another sigh and then spoke in a deep voice that Syaoran recognized to be that of&nbsp;<br> Touya, “Finally I can be alone with you, Yuki.”<br> <br> Syaoran’s eyes widened in shock as he realized who Touya apparently thought he was.&nbsp;<br> He had never actually inquired about the two older men’s relationship but he as well as&nbsp;<br> everyone else had been able to guess. Syaoran opened his mouth to inform his new&nbsp;<br> brother-in-law that he was mistaken, but all he managed was a weak, “But...” before&nbsp;<br> Touya’s hand clamped over his mouth silencing him.<br> <br> “Shhh...” Touya whispered nuzzling his neck, “I just want to relax with you for a few&nbsp;<br> moments. This is the perfect chance. I haven’t had a chance to be alone with you all day&nbsp;<br> thanks to that Nakuru thing.”<br> <br> Syaoran tried to struggle harder but to no avail. Under normal circumstances he would&nbsp;<br> have been an even match for the older man but with his arms pinned the way they were&nbsp;<br> he had no chance of escaping until Touya deemed it was time to set him free. Syaoran&nbsp;<br> prayed that the lights would not come on soon so that no one especially a certain green-<br> eyed beauty would see him in his current compromising position. Alas his hopes were in&nbsp;<br> vain as glowing lights like fireflies appeared magically in the room and Syaoran guessed&nbsp;<br> that Sakura had decided to use the Glow Card to illuminate the room. The lights created a&nbsp;<br> gentle atmosphere that was broken by Sakura’s loud cry of, “Onii-chan! What are you&nbsp;<br> doing with MY husband!”<br> <br> Syaoran blushed bright red as all eyes in the room turned to him and Touya standing in&nbsp;<br> the middle of the dance floor locked in an intimate embrace. Touya stood dumb-founded&nbsp;<br> not comprehending what his imouto was talking about that was until he spied Yukito&nbsp;<br> standing next to his sister with a hurt expression on his face. Blinking in confusion Touya&nbsp;<br> looked down to see just whom he was holding in his arms. As he registered whom he was&nbsp;<br> holding he immediately let go and growled, “What are you doing here?”<br> <br> Flushed a bright red whether with embarrassment or anger no one, not even Syaoran&nbsp;<br> himself knew, Syaoran retorted, “I was going to ask you the same thing. YOU were the&nbsp;<br> one that grabbed me!”<br> <br> “Why didn’t you speak up and say you weren’t Yuki. You’re married now for Kami’s&nbsp;<br> sake! Don’t tell me you enjoyed that.” Touya said with a disgusted look.<br> <br> “I would have told you and tried to but YOU had to place your horrible hands over my&nbsp;<br> mouth.” Syaoran replied glaring at the dark-haired man and thus the couple’s infamous&nbsp;<br> glaring contest began once more.<br> <br> Just then the two noticed their loved ones moving towards them. Trying to rush to get&nbsp;<br> away from the other and back to the ones they were supposed to be with they turned and&nbsp;<br> began to run towards their loved one. Unfortunately in their rush they happened to run&nbsp;<br> into each other and tripped over one another. They both fell down into a tangled heap of&nbsp;<br> arms and legs with Syaoran coming out in the better position having landed on top.<br> <br> Touya glared at the young man on top of him and shouted, “What do you think you’re&nbsp;<br> doing you pervert!”<br> <br> “I’m not a pervert you jerk!” Syaoran shouted back in an irate voice.<br> <br> “Then get off of me!”<br> <br> “I’m trying to but you have to stop flailing around like a monkey drowning. With you&nbsp;<br> squirming around like that, every time I get a firm hold on my footing I lose it again&nbsp;<br> because of you.”<br> <br> “Fine! Just get off of me!”<br> <br> “Fine!”<br> <br> It turned out that even if Touya hadn’t stopped squirming they would have still been able&nbsp;<br> to get up since at that moment Sakura and Yukito came running up to the two young men.&nbsp;<br> Sakura was glaring at Touya while Yukito just gave Touya hurtful accusatory eyes. The&nbsp;<br> two helped their respective partners to stand up and then stared at them waiting&nbsp;<br> expectantly for an explanation.<br> <br> “Onii-chan, Syaoran, what were you two doing?” Sakura asked coldly glaring at the two&nbsp;<br> men.<br> <br> Quickly trying to extricate himself from the tense situation, Syaoran did what any&nbsp;<br> sensible male would do. He blamed it on the other guy, in this case Touya. “It’s all his&nbsp;<br> fault!” Syaoran said pointing accusingly at Touya, “I was just going to find the fuse box&nbsp;<br> when he grabbed me from behind.”<br> <br> “Onii-chan! Why were you grabbing my husband?” Sakura demanded turning the full&nbsp;<br> intensity of her glare onto Touya.&nbsp;<br> <br> Yukito looked at Touya with a betrayed look on his face, “To-ya, what were you doing&nbsp;<br> hugging Syaoran-kun like that? I thought I was the one that you liked best.”<br> <br> Touya turned to look at Yukito pleadingly and said, “You are the one I like best.”<br> <br> Suddenly a deep voice from behind the two suggested, “Maybe all this time that Touya-<br> san was trying to tell Syaoran-kun to keep his hands off of Sakura-san wasn’t because he&nbsp;<br> didn’t like Syaoran-kun, but because he liked Syaoran-kun TOO much.”<br> <br> “Do you mean that onii-chan likes Syaoran-kun and that he wasn’t trying to keep&nbsp;<br> Syaoran-kun away from me because he didn’t like him, but because he was jealous of&nbsp;<br> Syaoran-kun being together with me?” Sakura turned to Eriol and asked. The magician&nbsp;<br> merely nodded his head.<br> <br> Looking like he was about to cry, Yukito added, “Now that you mention it. It does make&nbsp;<br> sense. I always thought that To-ya was just having a sister complex but I never thought it&nbsp;<br> was because he liked Syaoran-kun. He must have wanted to not hurt my feelings by&nbsp;<br> telling me he liked someone else.”<br> <br> Syaoran who had stayed silent during this entire interrogation decided to finally speak up,&nbsp;<br> “Sorry Kinomoto, but I love your sister.”<br> <br> At this Touya who had not been able to get a word in edgewise up until know because of&nbsp;<br> Eriol’s suggestion screamed, “I do NOT like that gaki!”<br> <br> “Really?” Yukito asked tearfully.<br> <br> Turning to Yukito Touya’s face softened as he answered, “Really. Yuki you know that&nbsp;<br> you are my favorite person. That gaki means nothing to me except that he is now married&nbsp;<br> to my sister so he better take care of her and not get any ideas.”<br> <br> “Yes, but why was Touya-san holding Syaoran-kun like that?” Eriol asked innocently.&nbsp;<br> <br> Turning to glare at the other bespectacled man, Touya said in a cold voice, “For your&nbsp;<br> information it was dark so I thought he was Yuki. It was a mistake which I’m not sure is&nbsp;<br> really a mistake even.”<br> <br> “What do you mean?” Syaoran asked suspiciously though he was starting to catch&nbsp;<br> Touya’s drift.<br> <br> “I mean that you, the gaki, looked like Yuki. I wonder who here other than Sakura can&nbsp;<br> make you look like someone you’re not?” Touya replied sarcastically.<br> <br> Eriol smiled his normal smile and said, “Ha...ha...ha, so you figured me out.”<br> <br> “Kisama! You’re going to pay for that you bastard!” Syaoran and Touya yelled in unison&nbsp;<br> as they glanced at one another briefly, a silent truce being formed between them briefly,&nbsp;<br> as they both lunged towards Eriol who merely disappeared.<br> <br> “You better say away because if I get my hands on you, no one will be able to protect&nbsp;<br> you!” Syaoran yelled into the air.<br> <br> “It wasn’t that bad was it?” Eriol’s disembodied voice asked.<br> <br> “Yes it was!” Touya and Syaoran yelled angrily.<br> <br> “Ara? I guess you two don’t think it was funny then.”<br> <br> “Of course we don’t find it funny!”&nbsp;<br> <br> At that moment Tomoyo decided to intercede and said in her calm soothing voice, “Now,&nbsp;<br> now Li-kun. Eriol didn’t mean any harm by it. Just calm down. You must be tired now.&nbsp;<br> Why don’t you and Sakura go up to your room now?”<br> <br> Sighing in tired frustration Syaoran nodded his head in agreement and said, “I guess&nbsp;<br> you’re right. Are you ready to retire Sakura?”<br> <br> Sakura leaned warily on him and nodded her head. Tomoyo beamed at the two and&nbsp;<br> picked up Syaoran’s hand. She opened up his hand and placed a small card into the palm&nbsp;<br> of his hand and closed it saying, “This is the key card to your honeymoon suite. Have&nbsp;<br> fun!”<br> <br> Syaoran’s eyes widened as he blushed at what the dark haired girl was implying. He&nbsp;<br> knew what was to come and he was looking forward to it, but a sense of uneasiness kept&nbsp;<br> nagging at him. He ignored the feeling and nodded his thanks to Tomoyo before asking&nbsp;<br> Sakura, “Shall we go?”<br> <br> “Yes. I’m so tired.” Sakura replied tiredly.<br> <br> “Matte!” Tomoyo shouted causing the couple to turn back to look at her confused.&nbsp;<br> “Shouldn’t you be carry your bride over the threshold?”<br> <br> “Hoe? But I thought that was just for when you moved into your house or something like&nbsp;<br> that?”<br> <br> “Li-kun needs to carry you up to your room and over the threshold. It’s tradition.”&nbsp;<br> Tomoyo stated empathetically.<br> <br> “Wakata.” Syaoran said as he grinned at his bride and swept her up into his arms despite&nbsp;<br> her startled yelp. He carried her out of the reception hall and up to their room.<br> <br> After the couple had departed Eriol popped back into the room and asked Tomoyo&nbsp;<br> innocently, “I’m surprised you haven’t arranged a way to watch them.”<br> <br> “Ho...ho...ho.” Tomoyo laughed suddenly as she pulled out another key card from her&nbsp;<br> pocket. “I forgot to mention to Li-kun that the hotel staff gave me two cards. One for Li-<br> kun and one for Sakura-chan, but in the bustle of activity I forgot to give her this card.”<br> <br> Eriol smiled sweetly at her, “Oh is that all. Isn’t there someway we could watch more&nbsp;<br> discretely?”<br> <br> “Hmmm...yes, but I had meant for it to be surprise. Oh well. I placed a few hidden&nbsp;<br> cameras in the room that is connected to a nearby room that I had reserved. Would you&nbsp;<br> like to join me to watch?”<br> <br> “I’d be happy to.” Eriol said as he offered his arm to her to escort her to the room.&nbsp;<br> Tomoyo giggled and accepted her fiancée’s arm. The two entered a room with a large&nbsp;<br> projection TV sitting to the side of the room. Tomoyo went over to the TV and turned it&nbsp;<br> on. When she turned it on she saw the door opening and Syaoran entering the room&nbsp;<br> carrying Sakura in his arms. The couple settled themselves to watch their favorite couple.<br> <br> Meanwhile Touya and Yukito had watched the bridal couple leave one smiling and the&nbsp;<br> other frowning. Turning to look around Touya and Yukito noticed that everyone seemed&nbsp;<br> to be retiring for the night and decided to do so themselves but they ran into one problem.&nbsp;<br> Tomoyo had the keys to their room. So the two left in search of the dark-haired young&nbsp;<br> woman. They finally found her sitting in a room watching a large projection TV with&nbsp;<br> Eriol. He was about to storm over and clobber the unsuspecting magician when he&nbsp;<br> noticed what the couple was watching.<br> <br> “That GAKI better get away from my sister now or else I’m going up there to kick his&nbsp;<br> butt all the way back to Hong Kong!” Touya shouted in fury as he watched Syaoran&nbsp;<br> bending over to kiss Sakura.<br> <br> Tomoyo and Eriol turned around to look at him startled. Yukito just looked coldly at&nbsp;<br> Touya and said in a steely voice, “Leave them alone To-ya unless...”<br> <br> “Unless what?”<br> <br> “Unless you really do like Syaoran-kun.”<br> <br> “I do NOT like the gaki. But...” Touya protested weakly before Yukito gave him a look&nbsp;<br> that suggested he had better shut-up and rethink his decision or else he would be in worse&nbsp;<br> trouble than he was already in. Touya sighed defeatedly and said, “Alright. Tomoyo-chan&nbsp;<br> would you mind giving us the keys to our room?”<br> <br> Tomoyo turned her attention away from the TV briefly to hand the keys to the two older&nbsp;<br> men. Touya thanked her and grabbed Yukito’s arm to lead him out of the room. He&nbsp;<br> whispered to the smaller man, “We better get out of here quickly.”<br> <br> “Why?” Yukito asked naively.<br> <br> “Do you want to be around when Sakura and that gaki realize that those two are spying&nbsp;<br> on them?”<br> <br> “Ahh...” Yukito said softly looping his arm in Touya’s arm. The two walked out of the&nbsp;<br> room hoping to get away before the bridal couple came charging down to kill the two&nbsp;<br> voyeurs.<br> </font><font color="#CC99FF">____________________________________________________________________________________</font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana" color="#3333CC">Suppi: Arg...did anyone get the number of that truck that just hit me? </font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana" color="#FF9966">Kero: No but if you find out tell me so I can kill them. </font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana" color="#3333CC">Suppi: Do you know why I keep thinking of butterflies? </font></p> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana" color="#FF9966">Kero: No but I keep thinking of tango music.
