So now let's start the story, please enjoy. CHAPTER 1-Shocking News (Twice)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once upon a time long ago during the Ming Dynasty in China lived a wonderful king and
his beloved wife. The king had 4 children. Two sons and two daughters. His oldest son
was Touya. Touya was the heir to the thrown. Second oldest was the beautiful yet slightly
spoiled Meiling. Third was the mysterious Eriol, to everyone in the kingdom he was the
most mysterious of the royal family since from time to time he would disappear and he
would reappear again at night, everyone in the kingdom has gotten used to it already.
Last but certainly not least is the cute and lovable Sakura, Eriol was her favorite sibling.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hi Eriol did father want to see me?" said Sakura to her favorite sibling.
"Yeah he told me to call you here. He's in the bookroom and he said that he
wanted to see you about something important and told me to go call you." said Eriol.
"Ok thank you," said Sakura.
With that Sakura went into the room where here father was sitting looking over
some important documents.
"You wanted to see me father." said Sakura while she bowed.
"Huh?" then Fujitaka looked up and saw Sakura. "I wanted to talk to you about
something very important. You see Sakura your mother and I think that you are
old enough to well get married and we have arranged an engagement with you and Prince
Seiji of the Tsukishiro Kingdom."
"What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" cried Sakura "But father it is unfair. I should be able to
choose my own husband."
"Calm down Sakura." Said Fujitaka trying to calm his daughter down. "It's just
that your mother and I thought that you are of age to be engaged to someone. Your sister,
Meiling is also engaged to a young prince from the Chan Kingdom and we thought that
you should also be engaged to someone as well and since the Tsukishiro Kingdom is
allied with us I thought it best to engage to there youngest prince."
"But father I do not wish to be engaged, at least not yet I am not ready for this.
Please father may you please call it off and allow me to find my own husband when I am
ready and when I know that the person to become my husband is someone that I fall in
love with." Pleaded Sakura.
"I am sorry Sakura I can not. Your mother has insisted and we have talked to the
emperor of the Tsukishiro Kingdom and he has agreed to having you married to his
youngest son."
With that Sakura stormed out of the room leaving her father sitting there feeling
guilty. She ran into the royal garden to get some time alone. She looked at the tree of pink
roses that she grew. Pink roses are one of her favorite flowers and they calmed her down.
"I can't believe this I don't want to get married to someone that I don't love."
Said Sakura to the roses tree.
Ever since Sakura was little she always thought of that rose tree as a friend that
she would always tell the tree what she feels and she would be calm again. While she was
telling the rose tree how she was feeling she heard a sound and turned around. There
stood her favorite sibling Eriol.
"Sakura are you ok? What happened? You stormed out of the bookroom and I
followed you. Can you tell me what happened Sakura?" asked Eriol.
Eriol was Sakura's favorite sibling and they would always play together since
they are only 2 years apart.
"Eriol." said Sakura with a frown on her face. "Father is making me marry Prince
Seiji and I do not wish to marry him. I do not wish to marry anyone right now unless I
find my own husband from love. I hate the kingdom, I never liked it, I always wanted to
see how the world was outside of the walls of the Kinomoto Kingdom it is always so
boring here it's like I'm in prison trapped in the walls of the Kinomoto Kingdom and to
top it off now I have to marry someone I don't love. I hate being the princess. Why did I
have to be born the princess." Said Sakura still frowning.
Eriol looked at his little sister, he had never seen her so sad since she always seem to be so cheery all the time and said "Sakura it's ok, Prince Seiji is my friend and he isn't
that bad. And if you were to ever go outside the kingdom you would be endangered since
you are the princess."
"Oh big brother I know and that is why I hate being the princess." Cried Sakura.
"Well if that is how you feel than why not I bring you out of the walls for one day
to see the world and you can take your mind off of the engagement. What do you think
Sakura?" asked Eriol.
Sakura looked up at her brother and threw herself at him giving him a great big
hug screaming " Oh that would be a wish come true brother, but how are you going to do
it the guards are always guarding the main entrance and that's the only way to get in or
out of the kingdom." She said still with a frown.
"Well you see Sakura you can sneak out unnoticed even with the guards because
sometimes the guards take a rest and in between that time you can get in and or out
unnoticed."
"Really big brother? That would be wonderful to leave the kingdom for a while to
see the world outside of the walls of the Kinomoto Kingdom." Cried Sakura now with a
smile.
With that Eriol decided to bring her out first thing in the morning. Eriol has snuck
out of the kingdom many times because from time to time he was also bored like Sakura
and wanted to see the world.
"Ok then we go tomorrow in the morning. Is that ok with you?" asked Eriol
"Yes, but why in the morning?" asked Sakura suspiciously now also wondering
how her brother knew about the guards.
"Because in the morning the guards let there guard down more and there are less
people awake so it will be easier to runaway. Then we can come back in the night when
everyone is asleep. No one will notice that we're gone since we always run around the
kingdom."
Sakura looked at her brother and asked "You've done this before haven't you big
brother? I mean you always disappear and you know how to escape and when to escape."
Eriol jumped at that question and her statement. He mentally slapped himself for
tell her so many clues and started to stutter saying "Well uh yes I mean no I mean,
uh...uh.I well you see, I get bored to and uh I um w...w...we.well g.go out
s...s...s...some.sometimes." Said Eriol.
"You what!!!!!!!!!!!! You ran away without telling me!?!?!?" Screamed Sakura.
"SHHHHHHH!!!!" said Eriol and looked around to see if anyone heard her.
"Well actually I did only go out to meet up with someone that I became friends with to
train. uh well. Ok Sakura tell me this, do you believe in magic?"
Sakura was startled because she never thought that her brother ever believed in
that and she answered, "Well yes of course why is that?"
"Well Sakura you see." He sighed and replied, "I found out that I possessed
magical powers 3 years ago and ever since then I would go out and train with the person
that told me that I had magic."
Sakura was shocked that her brother possessed magical abilities and said "Really?
Wow big brother I never thought that you could possess magical abilities. Can you show
me some things that you can do with your magic? Pleeeeeeaase." Pleaded Sakura.
"Well yes, but not right now I'll show you tomorrow when we go see my friend
and I will show you a couple of spells that I know. My friend knows more that me and
maybe if you're lucky she'll show you some of his tricks. Now it's getting late." Said
Eriol looking at the sky, which was starting to grow dark. "Get some sleep and tomorrow
I'll go over to you room and take you out of the kingdom. Don't tell anyone about this
and when I come just dismiss your maid by telling her that you are going to go around the
royal garden with me and won't be back until night falls so she won't tell father that your
missing ok?" asked Eriol.
"Ok good-night Eriol." Said Sakura while walking in the direction that her room
is in.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Sakura woke up extra early and got ready to go. Since she was
going out of the kingdom she thought that it was appropriate to not dress in royal
clothing, so instead she wore some clothing she thought suited to be out of the kingdom. She dismissed her maid tell her exactly what Eriol told her to do and sat there eating her
breakfast while waiting for her brother to take her to go out of the kingdom to play. She
was so excited and happy. Just when she was finished with her breakfast she heard a
knock on the door and opened it. There at the door stood Eriol. "Sakura are you ready to
go?" asked Eriol.
"Yes I am, but before we go can you tell is what I'm wearing appropriate for going
outside the kingdom?" asked Sakura. She have seen some of the farmers that had to
deliver food into the kingdom and saw that what the farmers wore were very different
from what the people inside the kingdom wore and thought that she should ask just for in
case.
Eriol nodded and said "Ok let's go, you might want to take some money just in
case, and besides I think that you might want to buy some stuff while your our there."
Sakura nodded and took a little pouch (that was there wallets back then) and put some
money in there and let her room with Eriol. They came to the entrance of the kingdom
and while some guards weren't looking they ran out unnoticed. When they were out of
the kingdom they went into a small forest that grew near the kingdom so they won't be
seen and would be able to go to the village from there. While they were walking Sakura
asked "Eriol if you know magic why couldn't you just bring us outside with magic, isn't
there a spell for it, and if you don't know it then why don't you ask your friend to teach
you so you can escape more easily?"
Eriol stopped and turned around to answer his sister's question "Well when I use
magic it uses up a lot of energy and I do know how. It's just that I can only transport
myself, I haven't learned how to transport someone else besides just me, and even though
I was by myself I wouldn't have to waste energy on the spell since we can escape so
easily." He started walking again with Sakura beside her.
"Oh I see. So where are we going first anyways?" asked Sakura seeing that they
were very close to reaching the village.
"We're going to go see my friend first and you can see me train my magic and you can
see some of the magic spells you said you wanted to see yesterday. Then after that I'll
take you around to see the shops and I'll bring you to go eat some food that the kingdom
never serves. Oh and by the way, while your in the village don't use your real name
because if you do you'll be endangered with people know who you really are. My friend
knows who I am and I'll tell her who you really are, but my friend and her family should
be the only people knowing our true identity. While your there maybe you should have a
fake name. Let me see how about..... Ying Hwa. (It's mandarin for cherry
blossom) So do you like the name?"
"Yeah it's just another language for my name." Said Sakura.
Right after that they arrived at the village and Sakura followed Eriol who was walking in
the direction of where his friend lived. He kept walking until he reached a house and he
knocked and then waited.
"Is this where your friend lives?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, but it seems that they aren't awake yet. Oh wells it is very early." They had to
leave very early so the time was still 4:30 in the morning. "Well let's go see is there some
place that is open so we can drink some tea."
With that they walked to a restaurant that was opened already and ordered some tea and
some bread.
After they were done they decided to walk around the village so Sakura can see it. They
walked around the village and stopping at some shops so Sakura can see some things. She
arrived at a store that had beautiful accessories and a bracelet caught her ever it was made
of gold and had pink jade (is there such thing well if there isn't let's just pretend there is)
encrusted in it to look like pink flowers. She bought it and put it away in a bag that she
brought with her from the kingdom. After walking so long Eriol decided that since it was
6 already that his friend was probably awake already.
"Sakura lets go to my friends house now I think that they should be awake already." Said
Eriol.
Sakura nodded and said "Ok then lets go now." They started walking until they reached
the house where Eriol's friend lived. Eriol knocked again and this time he heard footsteps
this time and then the door started to open and at the door stood......
