CHAPTER 3
LOST FIANCEE
DISCLAIMER: The usual disclaimer applies... I do not own CCS.
A/N: This one is shorter than the second one, but I hope you enjoy it. It supposed to be much much longer but I split it into two chapters. R&R, okay guys??
Its been a week since Sakura's arrival to Earth. In that short period of time, Syaoran was able to get to know more and more about Sakura. She's clumsy at times and get nervous easily. However, she can also be strict and her willpower is definitely strong. Syaoran doesn't want to admit it, but he can feel himself feeling more and more attached to her. It seems like there was some sort of magnet that attracts him towards her. He doesn't know why, but he felt like Sakura's presence is somewhat familiar to him, even if she's from another dimension. Like she was a long lost person that he wanted to find but couldn't.
..............
(SYAORAN'S POV)
Autumn is coming and the leaves had started to fall. The chilly breeze dances its way along with the falling leaves. Sakura and I were walking near the park, taking our usual 'walk' where Sakura would try to sense the presence of the crystal in various places of the town.
"Hmm.. so, Sakura.. If I remember correctly, you were searching for the Crystal and your fiancee, is it? So.. where do you plan to find him?" I asked. To be honest, that question had been lingering in my head for some time now, and I just had to let it out.
Sakura sighed a little. "I don't even know, Syaoran... Actually, we haven't met for a long time.. he was the heir of the neighbouring country and we have been engaged since birth. I met him when I was little when I was about 5 years or so.. but I vaguely remember his face. He's nice though..." said Sakura while smiling.
"Oh, really?" was my reply.
"Yeah, there was one time when I tripped and fell when playing with him... I cried but he consoled me, saying that everything's okay... and what I couldn't forget the most is that when he kissed the sore bump on my forehead. When I asked him why he did that, he had blushed and merely shrugged as he told me that's what his mother always did when he fell down. "I just want to make you feel better, thats all..." is what he said. You could say that he can be weird sometimes. But still, he was a very nice kid back then." continued Sakura.
Syaoran was awestruck. He had dreamt a dream just like that. Could it be mere coincidence? Syaoran was puzzled but he decided to shake it off.
"Well, how come he's lost then?" I asked.
"We were separated when I was 6. There was a terrible war going on. The queen of the neighbouring country, my fiancee's mother, had decided to hid her son somewhere far away for his safety."
"Why is that?" I asked again.
"Because you could say that he was reason of the war. He had a powerful item within him. A sword that can cut through anything and had immense power. Those who owned it would be powerful indeed. But he was still a child, not knowing what great powers he held. In order to save him and to stop the war, he was sent far away from our country."
"How come you know about this?"
"My dad told me everything before I went to search for him and the lost crystal. But I doubt that I'll find him."
"But then, why do you have to find him? He could be anywhere, right? And you don't even know whether he's alive or dead already."
"Right. But I had to find him. We need that immense power he had to defeat our enemies. And I do know that he's still alive, here in this dimension. Our miko had felt his presence and sent me to the place where might be found."
"So... you just want to find him because you only want his power?"
"Partly, yes. But that's not the main reason. His mother had missed him so much. And..so do I.." she added quietly.
"Wow.. she must have really liked him.. I guess I don't have a chance, then.." thought Syaoran wistfully.
.................
We are now standing on a lake near the famed Tsukimine Shrine. It was deserted and no one was there except for the pair of us. Sakura then closed her eyes and concentrated in finding any trace of aura emitted from the magic crystal. Suddenly her eyes flew open, as she sensed something.
"Syaoran-kun.."
"Hmm?"
"We're here. I've finally found it. The crystal's aura. Come on, let's go!"
