--Chapter 1—
--A Promise To Never Sing—
A groan escaped pink lips as the owner slowly straightened her back. She wiped the sweat off her brow, peeled off her auburn strands which stuck onto her neck due to sweat and looked at the clean throne room. The floor has been scrubbed clean and the green carpet which stretched from one end to the other was clean. The girl looked up at the chandelier which glittered above her.
The chandelier was made out of green crystals with emerald stuck to them. She was pretty much awed at the amount of green in the whole castle when she first came. Her emerald eyes glittered with awe as she continued to observe the now very clean room.
It may be her umpteenth time in the room but it never cease to amaze her. The thrones were on a small platform with steps. The thrones were a deep brown with green cushioning. The floor itself was made out of green tinted marble. The walls were a lime green and the carpet is a forest green. No matter how much she looked at it, it was still too green to not be a forest.
The girl then let out a small sigh and bent down to grab her brush and the bucket of soapy water. She then slowly strides out of the throne room only to be flung away by an incoming speeding Prince. The girl gave a shriek as she fell onto her bottom, the bucket of soapy water flung towards the Prince. The water then splashed onto the Prince making him wet to his shoes. The girl looked up at him with wide eyes. Cold annoyed amber eyes clashed with fearful emerald ones.
"Sakura Kinoto! You clumsy fool!" the prince shouted. The girl's eyes twitched in annoyance. Being called a fool was not part of her acceptable list. Fire then burst into her eyes as Sakura stood up and placed her hands on her hips. She then glared full blast at the Prince.
"Well I am sorry, Prince Syaoran Li. If you were idiotic enough to run around in the castle, this would never happen!" she shouted back, her eyes daringly bore into the Prince's. Syaoran then growled dangerously.
"You better watch your mouth, maid! I am of superior rank that everyone here so you better show me some respect!" He shouted. His face was not only wet but flushed with anger. Sakura then gave him a bored look as she shifted her weight onto one foot.
"Sadly, my mouth is out of my line of vision so, I don't freaking care! And don't blow your pretty little head off now. I am going!" Sakura growled out as she stomped towards the bucket and sponge. She grabbed them swiftly off the ground and stomped away. Syaoran gave a low growl as he turned on his heel and headed for his bedroom to change from his now dark green suit which was originally light green.
Sakura placed the bucket and sponge in the storage room and locked it when she came out. She then thought of other chores she was supposed to do but could found none. She shrugged as she walked towards the staircase with the intention of going up to find her best friend.
oOo
"And he called me a fool! A fool of all things! The nerve of that guy!" Sakura complained as she watched her friend through the mirror in front of her. She had changed from the normal maid outfit to a different outfit which was more casual. It was a white sundress which reached her knees and short puffy sleeves. It had a rectangular neckline and had several pink Sakura petals sewn on it. Her best friend merely giggled as she combed Sakura's long auburn hair.
"Well, you are the only one he has ever called a fool or insult for that matter… You must really get on his nerves a lot," the girl laughed as she slowly braided Sakura's hair. Sakura just pouted as she observed her friend again. The girl behind Sakura had long pale purple hair which reached her waist, falling in curls and waves. Her eyes were a bright amethyst, shimmering with happiness. She was wearing a more formal dress than Sakura it was the code of clothing for those who worked in the castle.
It was a black dress with an oversized puffy black skirt which reached her ankles. She also wore black, heeled shoes. A white frilly apron was worn above it and a frilly headgear was on her head. Sakura dreaded every minute she was forced to wear that outfit. She looked horrible in it but her friend… She looked pretty much suitable for such outfits.
"Tomoyo-chan… Do you think I would ever be brave enough to go back to the castle?" Sakura asked suddenly. The girl, Tomoyo Daidouji, dropped the braid in surprise before quickly grabbing it and continued. A small sad smile stretched her lips.
"I don't know. You are still afraid of the stress you were under when you were still in that castle. I noticed that you look so much better here than there. You are more alive here…" Tomoyo replied as she finished up the braid. Sakura then looked out of the window which was situated at the wall a few meters away from them. From far away she could see another castle and that castle belonged to the Kinomoto royal family. Her family.
"Ah well. I am now Chae Sakura Kinoto who came from Korea to work. I don't need to remember my past for now…" Sakura stated as she stood up. Tomoyo grabbed a bow from the table and slowly tied it around Sakura's neck.
"You are going to Tomoeda for some ingredients right?" Tomoyo asked as she walked towards a closet which sat at the other end of the room. In the middle of the room was a large bed with lavender mattresses. Sakura nodded as she watched her friend took out a purse. She then pulled out some money and walked back towards Sakura.
"Can you buy me some lace? I ran out of some when I was making another outfit for you. 3 arm-lengths would be enough," Tomoyo said as she passed Sakura the money. Sakura merely pushed the money back to her.
"I'll pay for it. I will be going now!" Sakura said as she skipped out the door after grabbing her pouch. Tomoyo shook her head as she walked to her sewing machine. There in the midst of being finished was a wedding dress.
oOo
Sakura walked towards Tomoeda with a smile on her face. She can't wait to see the orphans from the only orphanage there. She was also excited to be able to visit a motherly figure which takes care of the orphans. When the villagers saw her, they gave her a warm smile and politely bowed slightly to her. Sakura merely waved her hands and smiled back. They all knew that she was of royalty but Sakura had told them to never let her real identity out. She soon arrived at the orphanage.
The orphanage was a small run down house with several children running around, playing with paint-stained fingers. The minute they say her, they immediately ran to her but none actually touched her as they knew their dirty hands will dirty her white dress.
"Sakura-san… You look pretty..."
"Where have you been Sakura-san?"
"You didn't come for a loonnggg timee, Sakura-san,"
Sakura smiled at them slowly and crouched near them. They gave her cheeky grins as their faces were splattered with paint. Sakura then slowly remember each and every of their names when she looked at them more closely. They had grown a bit from the 3 years she was 'missing'.
Takeshi was an 11 years old boy with bright green hair and deep sapphire eyes. He was the oldest among the group whose birthday falls on the 5th of September. He was a very protective kid with a fierce sense of protectiveness which gave him his name.
Cho was a 10 years old girl with long grey hair tied into two braids and piercing lime green eyes. She was the oldest girl in the group whose birthday falls on the 16th of May. Sakura gave her that name because a butterfly had landed on Cho's nose when Sakura first visited them.
Kazuki was a 10 years old boy with short sapphire hair and dark red eyes. He was the second oldest boy in the group whose birthday falls on the 19th of May He has the capability of stopping a fight between the orphans and that's why he was called Kazuki.
Ai was a 10 years old girl with long maroon hair and calm black eyes. She was the second oldest girl in the group whose birthday falls on the 23rd of April. She was the loving type who get really close easily with people and everyone likes her for that.
Sora was a 10 years old girl with shoulder length cream hair and purple eyes. Her birthday falls on the 30th of August. When Sakura arrived, Sora liked to look at the clouds in the sky and make out shapes, gaining her name.
Hiroaki was a 10 years old boy with short black hair eyes and rather dull grey eyes. His birthday falls on the 12th of September. He was a rather bright boy for his age, knowing how to count and speak rather frequently in both English and Japanese. And that's how he got his name.
Takayuki was a 10 years old boy with short purple hair and squinted eyes -types which you see on anime denoted with a - for eyes- His birthday falls on the 20th October. He got that pose which gave him a noble look and could be a brave knight when he grew up.
Katsumi was a 10 year old girl with waist length pink hair and dazzling red eyes. Her birthday falls on the 11th November. She was obviously the most beautiful among the girls and that's why she was called Katsumi which meant 'victorious beauty'.
Satoshi was a 10 year old boy with short blue hair and yellowish-amber eyes. His birthday falls on the 29th of November. He was a wise kid and would think a lot before acting.
Kokoro was a 10 year old girl with long brown hair and green eyes. Her birthday falls on the 31st of December. She has the key to Sakura's heart as she looked awfully a lot like her.
Mamoru and Minako are twins. Mamoru was 9 years old boy with short blazing red hair and deep ruby eyes while Minako was a 9 years old girl with long blazing red hair and brighter ruby eyes. Both of their birthdays fall on the 1st of January. Minako had smooth complexion giving her a beautiful look while Mamoru was a protective boy who protects Minako from danger, usually.
Chiyoko was a 9 years old girl with short orange hair and chocolate eyes. Her birthday falls on the 26th of January. She likes books which has history in them which gave her name.
Akihiro was a 9 year old boy with short sapphire hair and sapphire eyes. He wore glasses as well. His birthday falls on the 18th of July. He was the smartest of the group.
Masaru and Masato are twins. Both of them are 8 years old boys with short black hair and ruby eyes. Their birthdays fall on the 14th of February. Masaru was more to the intelligent side while Masato was more to the handsome side. The only way to differentiate them is to talk to them.
Shizuko and Shizuka are twins as well. Both of them are 8 years old girls with long turquoise hair and dark pink eyes. Their birthday falls on the 31st of October. Both of them are very quiet and very hard to differentiate but Shizuka will blush a lot around people but Shizuko will stay very stoic and calm around people.
Kiyoshi was a 7 years old boy with short dull brown hair and very sad brown eyes. His birthday falls on 1st of October. He was a boy who had never seen anything bad, except the burning of the orphanage, whilst the rest had seen the death of their family. He was too pure.
Kenta was a 6 years old boy with short black hair and curious orange eyes. He was the youngest of the group whose birthday falls on the 9th of August. He was a very healthy boy even though he is rather short.
Sakura grinned at each one of them after remembering their names.
"Why don't all 20 of you go and wash your dirty little fingers and faces and come out. So then we can play and you guys can actually hug me!" Sakura giggled. The children squealed as they ran back into the orphanage, all excited to wash their hands and hug Sakura. An elderly woman slowly came out of the hut when the children rushed in. She had greying maroon hair and soft blue eyes. She gave Sakura a small smile and bowed her already humped back. Sakura gave her a warm smile and walked towards her.
"Hikaru-san… Have you been well?" Sakura asked as she gently took Hikaru's wrinkled hands. Hikaru merely nodded her head.
"Times are getting difficult. Money is running short even though the villagers are helping financially. Feeding 20 growing children are very harsh…" Hikaru said as she shook her head. Sakura frowned lightly as she opened her pouch. She then took out a roll of bills and gave it to Hikaru who looked at her in shock.
"I-I can't accept this, Sakura-sama! This is your money and you should not spend so much on an old orphanage such as this one…" Hikaru said. Sakura shook her head and gave her a stern look.
"If these children were to lose their only home in Japan, I would never forgive myself. These children are like my own children even though I am still pretty young and that Takeshi is only 7 years younger than me. Please Hikaru-san. This is not much. This is the least I could do to help my second family," Sakura pleaded. Hikaru gave her a look before taking the money and bowed.
"Thank you… Thank you so much Sakura-sama!" She said as she turned to put the money away. The children, now clean, then burst out of the hut and hugged Sakura all at once.
"Let's play! Let's play Sakura-san!!!" They shouted. Even Takeshi, who was the oldest among the lot, was pretty excited. Sakura merely giggled and carried Kenta in her arms as they played around. They played chasing and some other kids' game till the sound of marching scared them. The 19 children gave a small shriek and cowered behind Sakura and Kenta who was in Sakura's arms merely buried his face into her neck. He was whimpering in fear. Sakura merely stood her ground as Kinomoto soldiers came. Sakura verified them as Kinomoto when she saw the outfit they wore. They were wearing silver armour and breast plates. But in the middle of their chest plates were the Kinomoto crest. A red Sakura petal with two swords piercing through it. The guards' eyes widened when they say Sakura.
"Princess Sakura…" they muttered but Sakura gave them a confused look and looked around. There was no one there except for her and the orphans. How could they see the princess? At that moment, the line of soldiers slowly moved to make an aisle for the Kinomoto Prince, Touya Kinomoto, to walk. Touya Kinomoto was a handsome young man. His dark brown hair was so dark it could be mistaken for black and it was slightly messy. He has black eyes which was slightly cold and serious. He wore a very nice suit which was a green top with a silver breastplate. He wore brown pants which reached to his ankles but the bottom part was covered by him metal boots. He wore a short emerald cape which reached his waist only.
His eyes widened reasonably when he saw Sakura. He took a step forward.
"Is that you, imouto-san? Is that you, Sakura?" he asked. Sakura's eyes narrowed at him.
"I think you got it all wrong, your highness. I am not you imouto… I am Chae Sakura Kinoto from Korea…" Sakura stated coolly. Her eyes only showed confusion, knowing so well that the Kinomoto Prince would not let anything past his eyes. Touya merely shook his head and placed a hand on his temple.
"I am terribly sorry... I mistook you for my sister whom had been gone for 3 years. She was only 15 and she had to run away..." Touya mumbled. Sakura could only look at him. She can't say a word. She might slip and say the wrong things. Slowly, she took a deep breath and gave him a small smile.
"Well... I am sure she will come back soon enough. Princess Sakura Kinomoto is not heartless. Angry, yes but not heartless... enough to leave her family behind because of an arranged marriage..." Sakura said. Touya looked at her. He was not surprised. Everyone knew the real reason Sakura Kinomoto ran away from Japan. It was due to the arranged marriage between her and Prince Syaoran Li which was supposed to happen this year when both of them turn 18. Slowly he placed his hand down and walked nearer to Sakura. She flinched unnoticeably.
"I should be going now... I can't believe there is another Sakura in Japan... Please, Kinoto. Can you tell me where do you live...?" Touya asked. Sakura looked down. She can't say she lived in the oprhanage and thus she just decided to tell him the truth.
"I work as a maid in the Li Castle and I am living there together with all the other maids,"
oOo
Sakura growled as she glared at the Prince who was currently glaring at her. Broken glass laid between them. Sakura was fuming and Syaoran was in no better mood. Sakura had been careful with the Queen's precious China Tea Set, carrying in carefully with two hands and taking very small steps. Then Syaoran came along, rushing to God-knows-where while looking at everywhere BUT the front. In the end, Syaoran crashed into Sakura for the second time that day and resulted in a broken tea set. Syaoran even had the nerve to put the blame on Sakura.
"You should look at where you were going, your highness! God gave you eyes at the front of your head for a reason!" Sakura argued. She was pissed beyond pissed. She was so careful and he had to barge in and bang into her. Syaoran merely growled at her.
"I was in a hurry, dimwit! And it was your fault for being so slow! A turtle could have beaten you in a race, hands down!" Syaoran shouted back.
"A turtle has no hands, you moronic prince! It has FLIPPERS! Or are you too dumb to care?! I am telling Queen Yelan Li it was your fault!"
"You dare call me dumb?! I can just tell the guards to behead you right here and now!"
"Then why don't you, idiot? Or are you too sissy to do so?!"
"How dare you call me a sissy, you...you bitch!"
"What...? You mean you don't know? Chae Sakura Kinoto is a bitch... I forgot to tell you that when I introduced myself? Maybe because one look at your stupid face made me forget!"
"Why you...!!"
At that moment, Syaoran's personal servant decided to come in. He looked up at the bickering couple. He blinked his navy blue eyes a few times, not believing that he was actually seeing his usually cool master shouting at a mere maid. He walked towards them and gently tapped Syaoran on his shoulders. What was he not expecting was Syaoran whipping his head towards him and shouted, "What the fuck do you want?!"
"A-Ano... I am h-h-here to te-tell you that th-the pa-part-partic-cipants are h-here. I-If you a-are b-b-busy n-now, I-I ca-can tell th-them to c-c-come to-m-morrow..." he stuttered, his eyes holding fear. Syaoran seemed to calm the instant he saw the smaller guy.
"Yea sure... I was about to go when this... I bumped into the maid. I will be going right now, Eriol, Kinoto," Syaoran said as he nodded at Eriol and sent a quick glare at Sakura while saying her surname as if he wanted to eviscerate it. He turned on his heels and walked away, not looking back once. Sakura then realized that he left her to clean the China.
"Stupid Prince. He goes and have fun while i have to clear his bloody mess. Next thing you know, he will ask you to clean his room while he sleeps with his girlfriends," Sakura mumbled under her breath. Her mumbles were stopped at a small chuckle. She looked up to see Eriol chuckling softly. Sakura took this time to take in his features. Eriol had beautiful sapphire eyes and his hair was a beautiful shade of blue. He was wearing glasses which , Sakura had to admit, looks cute on him. He was wearing the Li servant's suit. White long sleeved shhirt with a black blazer over it. A small green wolf was pinned onto his breast pocket and he was wearing black pants, complete with black shoes. He stopped chuckling when he saw Sakura's gaze on him. Instantly he looked down, a small blush tinting his cheeks.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry..." Eriol said. Sakura merely shook her head. She soon realized he can't see her and giggled.
"It's fine! It's just that I'd never saw you here before, even after 3 years of working here. I am Chae Sakura Kinoto," Sakura said, laughing nervously at her comment about not seeing him. Eriol gave her a small yet shy smile.
"I am Eriol Hiiragizawa, personal servant of Prince Syaoran Li, soon-to-be 10th King of the Li Empire," Eriol stated, without stuttering. Sakura gave him a smile.
"So... You really don't stutter when you say your name, huh? And what was his highness so hurried about?" Sakura asked. Eriol felt shy again when she said that he did not stutter.
"H-He... is s-searching f-f-for a pianist and a singer to p-play and sing at t-t-the Royal Quad Marriage..." Eriol answered, stuttering again. Sakura thought about it and smiled bashfully at him. She then grabbed a nearby broom and dustpan.
"Can you wait for me...? I want to see them too but I got to clean this up first," Sakura said, giving him a pleading look. Eriol blushed and nodded.
"Sure..."
oOo
Sakura and Eriol slowly opened the door to the audition room, which was the ballroom of the castle, and heard an offtune singing of the song 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. Sakura cringed at the girl's abnormally high pitch and Eriol merely closed his ears as they walked behind the participant and towards Syaoran who was banging his head on the table. He seemed to not cope with the singing that well. Sakura and Eriol stopped behind Syaoran. Sakura smirked.
"If you keep on doing that, you will kill the almost non-existent amount of brain cells left in there," Sakura stated. Immediately Syaoran stopped banging his head and glared at her but when he saw Eriol, he took a deep breath and force a small smile on his face. He then raised his hand towards the girl to make her stop singing.
"Eriol... Why is Kinoto doing here...?" Syaoran asked. Eriol merely gave him a nervous smile.
"S-she want-wanted to h-hear t-the part-t-ticipants..." Eriol answered. Sakura merely gave him a small smile and patted his back as a sign of assurance and to relax. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
"So Kinoto... What do you think of... Miss Sierra Shyre Kurusae here...?" Syaoran asked, reading the girl's name off the list. The girl, Sierra Shyre Kurusae was a pretty girl wth long, curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes. The only thing is, she can't sing. Sakura gave him a smile and shot Sierra a look.
"She plain suck!"
That caused several reactions. Eriol burst out laughing, Syaoran could not help but chuckle and Sierra gave a high pitched scream.
"I suck..?! Do you think you can do better, you bitch?!" Sierra asked. Sakura shot her a bored look
"Yea, I am a bitch alright. I bet even dogs in pain could sing better that you!" Sakura shouted back.
"Wha...! Dogs can't sing, you dolt!"
"Well, a bitch is a female dog. If I can sing better, shame on you!"
"Why I...!"
"That is enough, ladies..." Syaoran said as he massaged his temple. Sakura stopped glaring at Sierra and folded her arms in front of her chest. Sierra merely huffed and looked away. Somehow, Sakura just like to get onto people's nerves.
"She started it by saying that I am horrible at singing!" Sierra whined, still not looking at them. Syaoran sighed.
"Kinoto, why don't you sing for us a verse or two... It's even better if you can sing us a song. Can you...? Then me and Eriol will judge. Is that alright with you?" Syaoran said, glaring at Sakura. He was obviously tired and want to get rid of the high pitched voice of Sierra from ringing in his ears again. Sakura gave him a look.
"But maids are not supposed to sing in the castle or Li premises!" Sakura said. She did not want to be beheaded for this. Syaoran gave a loud, frustrated groan.
"Just sing, goddamnit!"
Everyone stared at him at his outburst. Sakura nodded slowly, shooting Eriol a look. He gave her a helpless look and she sighed. She can't get out of this. She then walked towards Sierra's spot who had decided to move to stand beside the judging table. She had a smug look as if she was sure to win the game. Sakura took a deep breath before stopping.
"Ano... You said you needed a pianist too, right? Can I have a piano here...? Might as well audition for that one too," Sakura said as she shrugged. Syaoran nodded and snapped his fingers. Instantly, two servants wheeled in a grand, piano which was pure white in colour, except for the black keys. Sakura gasped at the beautiful piano as the servants wheeled in a piano bench for her. She pressed a key, a high note resounding through the now quiet ballroom. The servants were looking at her from the door, with encouraging looks. Sakura smiled at them and sat on the bench. She then wiped her hands on her apron and thought of what to play. As she thought, memories of her life in that castle came back. Her demanding parents and the arranged marriage forced down on her. Instantly she knew what to play. She placed her hands on the keys and slowly started the tune to 'Perfect'. She closed her eyes which was suddenly brimming with tears.
Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
My time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along
Almost immediately, everyone except Sierra was entraced. Her voice held so much emotions as if it was really happening to her. Eriol could do naught but stare at Sakura who seemed to sing in an angelic yet sad voice.
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand
At this point, tears were falling from Sakura's eyes. She can't hold it in anymore. Her father, her kind hearted father, actually yelled at her and struck her for disobeying his orders. Doesn't he understand that she wanted to find her own love?! She could not persuade her father to cancel it thus she had to do the first thing which came ot her head. She ran away.
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
The last key echoed through the very quiet room as Sakura opened her eyes. The tears were still streaming down as she hastily wiped them away. She did not want to remember the pain she felt. She then plastered a smile on her face and turned to look at the other people in the room. The two servants was staring at her with sympathetic looks. It was as if they felt her pain. Syaoran was looking at her with wide eyes. Eriol was stunned as well. But Sierra. She had her jaw to the ground in shock.
"So... how was it?" Sakura asked. Eriol broke into a grin and clapped his hands. Syaoran followed suite and so did the servants. Sakura then shot Sierra a smug look.
"Shame on you... A dog sang better!"
Eriol then stood up and walked towards Sakura. Syaoran stood up and walked towards Sierra and patted her shoulders.
"It seems we found our singer already..." he said. Sierra knew it was a sign for her to leave. She angrily stomped out of the ballroom. The servants went out as well. Eriol gave Sakura a pat.
"Y-You were g-gre-great!" Eriol complimented. Sakura gave him a smile, although it looked rather forced. Syaoran merely walked to her and gave her a flick on the forehead.
"Thank God you were a better singer. I will need to see you again tomorrow for some practice on the wedding party procedures. Eriol, come. We need to go and tell the Queen... And oh yeah, the China broke because of you, please remember to come up with an explaination," Syaoran said, purposely wanting to vex Sakura. He turned and walked away with Eriol. He waited for the yells to come but it never did. He stopped, feeling that something was wrong, and slowly looked behind. His eyes widened.
Sakura was on her knees, lookind down with crystalline drops falling from her face. She was sobbing softly as she gripped her gown tightly.
'Darling... Princesses are not supposed to sing with maids and servants. Now promise me you will never sing. Never,'
Sakura's sobs wrecked her body. Syaoran took a step towards her and no more. He was horrible at comforting crying maids.
'I'm sorry... I broke my promise. I broke my promise to you...Father...'
