Chapter Two

In the morning when Sakura woke up she saw all these young children sitting around her. 'Are these young kids going to be slaves to?' she thought. The thought shook out of her head when she saw a rather fat man with a black mustache walk into the room.

"Good morning my little rats," He said quite rudely, "Are you hungry?"

All of the people inside of the cells yelled yes. The man smiled with glee and passed a teeny tiny piece of bacon to everyone. I mean this was really small! When Sakura got hers she looked down at the little boy that was asleep on her leg. She smiled a little and then he woke up.

He was covered in scars. He was obviously beaten by something...or some one. But who would do such a thing to such a small child? Since the boy was sleeping the fat man decided to skip him. The boy looked upset. He was still looking up at Sakura. Sadness filled his eyes. It reminded her of the look Kimiki had on her face when she was crying, telling Sakura she didn't want to die.

A brightening smile filled Sakura's face and she handed the small piece of food to the young boy. The boy shook his head. "It's yours," He said. Then Sakura shook her head.

"You should have it. You are way younger than me and kids need food to grown strong," Sakura said softly handing the the food back to the boy.

At first the boy refused but then he took it. "Thank you," He said quietly as he ate it.

Sakura just smiled. The fat man who convinced Sakura that he was a slave driver was sitting down in a desk. He was writing something when the door to the room opened. The man looked up and said, "Prince Syaoran! What a wonderful surprise!"

The young man who had just entered had short brown hair and reddish brown eyes. He smiled. "Tishimi," He greeted, "My father sent me here to get him some more slaves... I don't see why he needs any more. He has more than enough."

"Well well today is your lucky day! We have alot of slaved here. It's quite crowded actually. So I'm giving you a special offer. You buy as may slaves as you want and you can get one free!" Tishimi explained.

Prince Syaoran laughed a little and picked out afew young children for slaves. "My father likes the young ones," Syaoran smiled.

Then Syaoran looked at Sakura. "Who is this one?" He asked, "Last time I was here I didn't see her."

"Oh my lord she is a new slave. She was a slave for King Kinomoto. She is a fresh one," Tishimi laughed.

"You," Syaoran said to Sakura, "What is your name?"

Sakura was frightened. If she said her real name she would probably be killed. "I said what is your name!" Syaoran yelled angered.

"Answer the man!" Tishimi ordered.

"K-K-Kimiki..." Sakura answered frightened.

Syaoran looked at her closely. "For some reason I think I have seen you somewhere..." Syaoran mumbled.

"Tishimi... I'll take this one to," Syaoran said pointing at Sakura.

"I don't know if you want that one sir...She seemed very defiant when you asked for her name," Tishimi explained.

"I don't care. She'll learn, just like the rest," Syaoran replied.

"very well then sir. You Kimiki! Get over here!" Tishimi yelled.

At first Sakura did seem defiant but she slowly got up and walk over to the cell door. The opened it just enough so that Sakura could get through and the other slaved wouldn't get away. Handcuffs that where attached to a chain where put on to the slaves. They where all attached to each other so if some one fell while the others where walking some one else might fall or they would drag that person the rest of the way.

Sakura didn't like this. She was a princess...Life was supposed to be perfect! But here she was being made a slave. They all walked out of the golden penny slave shop. There was a carriage waiting outside. Syaoran hooked the chain to the back of the carriage and said, "I hope you guys and keep up."

Prince Syaoran got into the carriage and signaled the driver he was ready to do. And they where off. Slowly though because there where hand cuffs around the slaves feet to allowing them very little motion. They all seemed tired after arriving at the palace.

The slaves where taken away and assigned duties. "hello," a woman said, "I am Sakuya. I am a slave here also and I will be assigning you your jobs. You three boys there. I want you to be on garden duty. That means you shall weed the garden, Water the garden, cut the grass and prepare the courtyard for any parties the king may have."

"Young girl," Sakuya said pointing at the small behind beside Sakura, "You will be a cook. I like to make little girls cooks because then you get to be clean, you get to work in the kitchen. And you get a nice room."

Sakuya seemed quite nice. The people who had been assigned jobs walked off with other slaves that would teach them what to do and how to do it. "And you," Sakuya said politely to Sakura, "You are the final slave and you will be...A chamber maid! That is probably the best job because you get to do it with me! I'll show you what to do and all the rights and wrongs. The basic thing we chamber maids do is clean the castle chambers. Also know as the kings room, Prince Syaoran's room, the guestrooms and all the other rooms. Sometimes if the king is having a rather large party he'll get us chambermaids to be waitresses for him. Being a slave you don't get paid anything but you do get food and a nice place to sleep."

Sakura nodded her head. "oh and by the way. What's your name kido?" Sakuya asked.

"My name is Kimiki," Sakura lied.

"Cute name!" Sakuya cheered, "Now come with me and I will help you get started. It is usually two chamber maids to a bedroom which means you and me will be sharing a room."

"How can you be so happy being a slave?" Sakura asked.

"It's better than the life I had before...My parents where killed in a fire and I was left alone on the streets. One-day prince Syaoran saw me and he took me to the castle. Believe it or not he took care of me! That's why I am truly devoted to him. Just put it I don't work for the king, I work for Syaoran."

"I think I liked my old life better... I was Princess Sakura's handmaid.... Last night Sakura and the king where brutally slaughtered right before my eyes... It was terrible!" Sakura lied.

"That sounds terrible! I feel so sorry for you! I don't see why China got in a war with your kind in the first place. All they wanted was land but then again boys will be boys....Do you want to know how long I have worked here?" Sakuya asked.

"Sure," Sakura replied.

"A good ten years. I'm fourteen and I came here when I was five," Sakuya said proudly.

"Cool I'm sixteen," Sakura said shyly.

Sakuya smiled. "let's get going O.K.?" She said politely.

Sakura nodded her head and followed Sakuya. Sakuya taught her how to do everything! It seemed so easy. That night what Sakura ate was better and bigger than what she could've had for break fast. It seemed that the Chambermaids had their own dinning room. When it was finally time to go to sleep Sakura and Sakuya went to their room. Sakura didn't like the way they had to sleep. One foot was chained to the bed so that they couldn't escape.

Well actually Sakuya wasn't chained. It was because she had worked here for some many years without trying to run away once. Sakura yawned and shut here eyes.

"Hey Kimiki," Sakuya said softly.

"Yeah?" Sakura replied.

"Be ready to wake up early tomorrow. I know you might not be used to it but you'll have to. Oh and the first room we do to morrow is Prince Syaoran's," Sakuya explained.

A cold sweat rolled down the side of Sakura's head with the thought of how mean prince Syaoran was when they first met. "O.K. Sakuya," Sakura said slowly falling asleep.

~*~*~*~

Sakura woke up and saw Sakuya right above here. "Are you a sensitive sleeper?" She asked, "You woke us as soon as I touched you."

Sakura smiled. "Is there a shower here? I feel like I'm covered in a thick layer of dirt," Sakura giggled.

Sakuya laughed and nodded her head. "Over there but make it a quick shower because we have to eat breakfast and do work," Sakuya explained.

Sakura nodded her head and went to have a quick shower. When Sakura came out of the shower he and Sakuya both went down stairs to eat. After that they went to prince Syaoran's room. The went inside and once they where in the middle of the room the door slammed shut.

They looked back to the door and saw prince Syaoran. He was holding a sword and didn't look very happy. Then king appeared he had something in his hands. It was King Kinomoto's head!!! The head said, "Sakura...My Sakura," and it was looking towards the so-called Kimiki.

Syaoran gasped in shock. "You are princess Sakura!?" He yelled. Then he lifted up his sword and ran towards Sakura. His blade swung in a motion going towards her neck. Just before it hit her flesh...Sakura woke up.

~*~*~*~

Sakura was covered in a cold sweat. She looked out the window...It was still night. Sakura was convinced it was a terrible dream and went back to sleep.

Me: :p hi. It's me again. Got nothing much to say... Review please.... Bye bye...
