A man with messy chestnut hair and amber eyes stared with tears in his eyes from his big balcony to the woman on the garden of the first floor. She was rounded by people in weird attires. Probably 'weird' because of the time they were in: Imperial China.
"Sakura…" The same chestnut-haired man cupped her cheeks with his hands. She was kindly smiling.
"We can't…" Suddenly, her smile broke, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"I know...but I love you." His eyes weren't teary,only ached his heart His eyes saddened, but he tried to smile. He started leaning in to kiss her.
"You're the only woman I've loved, and the only woman I'll love. No matter what." He said, still not kissing her.
"You know we can't be together…You're the king, I'm just a slave." She said, and tears started streaming from her eyes.
"Sakura…no…" He mumbled. "Why, why…"
He had to attend to the ceremony anyways. He was the king; no one could do anything to him. Ever.
He grabbed tightly the railing of the balcony, trying to suppress the tears.
"And what do you think you're doing!" The door snapped open to reveal two angry women. Instantly, the king let go of Sakura. She looked at him, with no expression at all.
"You have no right to invade my privacy Meiling, Tomoyo" He said, coldly, but inside he was shivering in fear. He knew that something would happen.
"We are your wives, for heaven's sake!" Yelled Tomoyo.
"I'm so, so sorry Sakura" He just kept mumbling, while Sakura was being tied. Her hands were at her back, and she was sitting Indian-style on the floor.
"Come here, woman!" Yelled Meiling."You will regret this" She mumbled while grabbing Sakura's wrist.
"NO!" He couldn't help it. Now he showed all the feelings he had for her.
"It doesn't matter if you're a king, or a simple man. You have no right to do this! You're not married to her! You're married to us!" Yelled Tomoyo.
"I was told by the elders to accept you as my wives. It doesn't mean I wanted to!" Now, he had lost all his composure. But really, he couldn't help it.
"It doesn't matter now, Syaoran. We both knew that this would happen sooner or later" Sakura mumbled, her head still facing the floor.
"But—But Sakura…" Syaoran said. His voice was breaking.
"You will be condemned, slave." Meiling mumbled. Syaoran looked at Sakura's emerald pools and that simple look showed all the love they had for each other.
"It's okay." She mumbled soothingly, before being dragged outside the room.
"Oh, Sakura…I'll always love you." He said, this time not mumbling, nor yelling. He cried.
Sakura held some flowers in her hands, behind her.
A guy with two swords went near her, and started doing some ceremonial moves before…
"Her punishment will be…
Remembering this, Syaoran cried even more.
…death sentence"
"SAKURA, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! ALL MY HEART IS ONLY YOURS!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
At this Sakura smiled. Yes, her last smile was for Syaoran.
Both swords swung towards her neck. Blood went everywhere near her like spray. Her head fell.
