So I have updated soooo soon only for you people… those who reviewed!
Disclaimer: I own this story! YAY! Nothing else…
Summary: Syaoran tends to the old lady when he hears some one calling him… hmm… you guessed it! But something unfortunate happens to him… read on to find out!
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Its okay now, I'm here…" Syaoran said, putting a blanket around the old lady who had been a mother to him.
The old lady was shivering and her fever was rising steadily. Only three candles were burning in the whole house and there was complete darkness outside the windows.
"Your fever is getting worse. You should just rest…" Said Syaoran, helping the old lady with some water.
"Tell me, any news from Sakura-hime, my child?" The lady asked worriedly, looking at him.
Syaoran looked out the window at the darkness and thought of Sakura.
"No…" Syaoran replied, deep in thought of her.
It had been four days since Sakura and Syaoran met each other. He was worried about her and most of all, he missed her. She had told him sometime before that she was not allowed to leave the castle anymore due to heavy restrictions on her made by King Solomon.
He couldn't bear being away from her. She was everything to him. The sun, the moon, the earth and life, everything to him.
"Maybe you should go to see her…" The old lady said, holding Syaoran's hand.
Syaoran looked at her and then smiled.
"You shouldn't worry too much about us; we will be fine…" Syaoran said, helping the old lady to her room.
He helped her lay down and then closed the door behind her.
"Sakura-hime…" Syaoran said to himself, as he finally burnt off the last three candles and left the building.
All the lights outside were off and the streets were empty. He started walking to his house, putting his hands in his pockets and covering his neck by his collar. It was cold that night and the air was dry and pinching.
Syaoran opened his door and raised his foot to step in when suddenly he felt some one calling him. He looked around him to see if anyone was there but there was no one. He stood there for a while, and then he felt it again. It wasn't a voice calling him, but instead it was a feeling that some one wanted him.
He streamed his thought deep within himself to look for the person who was calling him. The feeling was familiar and some how, nice.
"Sakura…" He whispered, his head shooting up.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura shouted in her room, so far away.
Syaoran ran without thinking about anything towards the castle. At that moment, he wanted nothing else but to see his princess. He ran in the darkness, every turn he took, every step he took was in the name of Sakura.
"Hime… wait for me…" Syaoran said to himself as he ran.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Onegaishimasu let me pass through. I am here to see Sakura-hime…" Syaoran said, looking at the guard who was standing in front of the castle gates.
"HAHAHA! Haven't you heard? No one is allowed to see her! Prince Ray has especially ordered us to not let punks like you in." The guards said in a mocking tone.
Syaoran didn't say a word to this. He just turned and walked away into the darkness. He was not in the mood to argue with impossible people. He just wanted to reach Sakura without causing any trouble. He was no attention seeker.
He left to turn left and then ran to the back of the kingdom. The put his hand on the back wall and then jumped over it. It wasn't really difficult because of all the 'Kurogane' training.
Then he started climbing the back pillar and believe me, it was harder than he thought with all the running he had done before. Then when he thought he reached high enough, he grabbed a dead wine on his right and started climbing that. Soon enough, he reached the top and then held the balcony railing with his hand.
Sakura heard the rustling outside so she got up from her bed and tried to see what was going on in her balcony. Then she finally saw Syaoran pulling himself up by her railing.
A sudden jolt of happiness went through her as she jumped up from her bed and ran to her balcony. Syaoran straightened up and brushed off his clothes but even before he had time to look up at Sakura, he caught in tight hug by the princess.
He put his hands around her and comforted her back.
"Y-You called for me…" Syaoran spoke.
"Yes I did… b-but how did you know Syaoran-kun?" Sakura said, now letting go off Syaoran and looking at him restlessly.
"I don't know… but I felt it…" Syaoran replied humbly.
"Syaoran-kun, it is horrible! Solomon has replaced all my people with his warriors. And he has started persecuting every person that comes near him. It's terrible!" Sakura exclaimed, crying hard and closing her eyes.
Syaoran knew all of this but he didn't know what to do about it.
"Only Henshin-sama is left because of great cooking…" Sakura said, now smiling.
Syaoran put his hands on Sakura's shoulders and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"I must go… I just wanted to make sure you were okay…"
"Please, don't go!" Sakura said. Then she heard the knock louder and so she turned towards the door.
Then the door opened and it was Ray, looking at Sakura seriously.
Sakura turned to see Syaoran but he wasn't there.
'He must have escaped…' Sakura thought.
"Who were you talking to, Sakura-san?" Ray asked intently.
"I was talking to those people who you have killed!" Sakura screamed at him.
Ray came closer to her and said, "Please Sakura-san. Calm down. I swear I will stop my father. I don't like what he is doing either. I will help you through this…" Ray said, pulling Sakura into a hug.
Sakura's eyes were wide and she was confused about what was happening. She didn't do anything to insult him but she didn't hug him back either.
He then let her go as he heard some one approach them.
"Sakura-hime… you are wanted by the king…" A servant told her.
Sakura nodded and started walking towards the throne room.
"You called your maj-" Sakura was about to say something when she suddenly saw Syaoran lying on the floor, his hands cuffed.
"Syaoran-kun!" She yelled as she ran to him.
"Hime… I'm alright…" Syaoran said, now getting up from the ground. Syaoran's upper body was raised from the ground by the two guards who were holding him from his arms.
Behind Sakura and Syaoran, Ray smirked at the sight. It was just as he had planned.
"Do you know this peasant, Sakura?" Solomon asked.
Sakura looked fiercely at Solomon.
"My guards found him sneaking outside my castle… that punk!" He laughed out.
"Please, let him go!" She exclaimed.
"Take him away… to the DUNGEONS!" Solomon said.
The guards picked him up and dragged him out to the dungeons.
"NO! Not the dungeons… they are isolated! Please, I take his mistake as my own! LET HIM GO!" Sakura yelled, crying now.
"Sorry Sakura-san, even I can't help that mud boy…" Ray said, helping Sakura up from the ground.
"You need to teach these people some manners about sneaking into other people's properties Sakura. And we shall start by him…" Solomon said in a bland tone.
"Forget it Sakura-san, its best you forget about him…" Ray said, still holding on to Sakura's arms.
Sakura looked angrily at Ray and then broke herself out of his grip. She straightened herself up and ran out of the throne room, bashing the door behind her. Then she ran out to the kitchen, trying to make her way to the dungeon when suddenly she was blocked by a huge man.
"You aren't going anywhere, Hime-sama!" Said the voice.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Now my son, now that we have gotten rid of that mud boy, we can't proceed with the wedding. He will soon be executed." Solomon laughed to his son.
Ray just stood there, somehow feeling the slightest bit of guilt over come him. For the fist time in his life, he wasn't sure if he had done the right thing.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sheesh I didn't think Ray had a heart… well anyways! Review!
Me…
