Silent Heart

' I have to agree to be his mate....'

'I have to be marked by him... to see Syaoran..?' She thought tears falling from her eyes. Her eyes were red, puffy from all the crying. She was tired, she hadn't slept all night. Demon maids came in and offered her food and drink, she had refused it. She hated them, hated anything to do with her father. Soon she found herself wanting to die again.. what was the use...

She looked at her chains. It had been a month. She hadn't seen Syaoran, hadn't heard of him, only that Yelan told her that he was greatly enjoying the company of his new fiancée ..Aeris. She watched them through her window, commonly walking through the gardens, playing hide and seek. Kissing... she seemed to have brainwashed him fully.. he seemed happy.

She saw him propose to her, get down on one knee... beg her to forgive him for not remembering her. He said a great number of apologies, she could see him blushing, even if she was in the tallest tower of the castle, she could see him. He was...... in love..... with..... her.

Sakura whimpered and looked out on the morning day, the sun was bright, beautiful.. happy. She was screaming inside, sick of everything, all of the romance, all of the love. It was fake, a plot.. a plan of her father and Yelan's to marry them and have pure children with that, that Aeris. Her skin was pale, dead. She wore the same dress that Tomoyo had made her. She had refused to wear anything else that Odaka had suggested. The green was no longer vibrant on her dress, it was pale and dead... worn out and torn at the hedges.

It was yet another day inside the 12th kingdom. The maids had told her that Odaka had rebuilt this kingdom from scratch. He'd been working on this for years. Ever since she was born. Her eyes narrowed looking out on the window. ' He had been planning this' She thought. Her stomach gave out a painful lurch, so strong that she tipped over, her shackles rattling slightly.

"Ah-" She covered her mouth with her thin small hand. Tears coming out. She was hungry, so hungry her stomach hurt. She had refused food since she was brought, it was a wonder she was alive. Her mind flashed, back to her brother. 'Touya..'

' He did say something about angels being able to survive without food... the sunlight was their meal...' She thought feeling weak looking up to the skies.

'I'm a mix... there is only certain things I can do..' She thought and gave out a sigh.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

' Odaka made it so that I could no speak. He took away my voice..' She thought and slumped down on the floor, her wings glowing weakly. Tears flowing out from her sad jade eyes.

' I can't talk at all... ' She thought helplessly, her hand moving to her throat. Her head leaned against the side on the window.

"Ke......o....." She uttered out in squeaks, inhuman and animal like whimpers escaped her throat as more tears came out.

"...ie...o.." She cried out straining her throat, holding it tightly crying out tears.

She looked up at the skies in tears.

" ...hy?" She chocked and cried out.

She heard footsteps, strong strides, each step making her heart jump in fear. Sickness covered her features.

" Girl?" A voice spoke.

Sakura looked to the closed door confused. ' That's not Odaka's voice...' She thought and looked to it, she walked to the door but her bounds held her millimeters away from it.

" I know something's in there! Open up!" Shouted a voice.

Sakura's eyes widened.

" S...ao..an!" She squeaked struggling. Her squeaks frantic.

" ....elp... ee!" She squeaked and struggled. She tried to move around more but her wrists were already sore and hurt. She had begun to bleed again from rubbing.

" Who is that? Answer!" Shouted the males familiar voice.

Sakura felt weak, she struggled to the door but couldn't anymore. She hadn't eaten, she didn't have the energy to move on, and soon she passed out.

Syaoran hit at the door. He had felt a strange watch on him for all his time in the 12th kingdom, and he didn't let it bother him until now. His dragon nose told him that the body behind the door was female, and weak. She faint smell of blood was present in the room on the other side of the door.

' What is behind that door?' He thought as he reached to try and open it. Suddenly he heard a faint 'thunk' on the other side of the door. His eyes widened.

" Hello?"

" ..........."

" Hello!?"

He was getting angry, he then stood back and prepared to batter the door down. His nose pinched down to show the characteristics of a dragon, his eyes glowing red slightly, his skin beginning to prick and scale up, blood escaping from the sides where his skin detached. He was transforming.

" If you do not answer I will throw this door down, girl."

"..........."

Syaoran gave out a sure smile and lashed on the door, the wood cracked easily under his sharp claws, it fell to splintered pieces easily. As he began to break through, he notices metal stuck on every side of the room. Chains?

He noticed a bed, a simple mattress on the floor, the sheet dirty and blood stained.

"?"

He then noticed the window, the blood staining the window and leaving a thin trail, leading to the frail body with angel wings in the middle of the room.

" What?"

He struggled more and broke through. ' Why is she in here? Like this..?' He thought seeing her face down, blood dripping from her shackles, making a pool of crimson around her. The smell of dried blood and fresh blood, the scent was spicy and sweet.. Reminding him of a delicious meal and the after mass of something wonderful. The scent drugged him to his limits, so much he swayed slightly. Forcing him to lick his jaws slightly, his eyes searching the unconscious body before him. Her wings limp, her body extremely thin.

" Girl?" he asked and looked at her bonds, reaching for them with his claws he broke them apart easily, then took a hold of her..

" !!"

She weighed nothing at all.. He morphed back into a human, his tail, horn and wings still in view.

" You..." He whispered and bent over to pick her up, she suddenly sprang to life and backed away.

"NO!" She shouted backing away, her hair over her eyes. She then froze and looked at him, her limps shaking.

She felt her bonds freed, she looked at her wrists, then she looked back to see who had freed her.

" ...yoa..ran?" She asked weakly looking at him.

" you can't talk?"

She shook her head weakly standing up.

".. Un a...ay.." She tried and walked to the window. Her wings extended.

" W-wait a second, why were you brought here? Did you betray someone?" He asked, Sakura looked to Syaoran and then cringed and looked away.

He saw her face, her green eyes, her hair flowed in the wind.

" Huh?" He strode to her and made her face him.

She blinked startled and looked to him.

" Who are you?"

She mouthed to him. He blinked once or twice. 'Sakura?' He thought his heart lept.

" Sakura..."

She nodded vigorously.

" Your...name is... Sakura?" He asked looking to her.

She gave a weak nod. She then heard something, closely related to running.

She gasped and struggled.

" No..."

Syaoran heard it too.

" Oh no.." He murmured, then with an easy swoop he picked her out and ran out the window, his wings extending and gliding out, into the outside.

Sakura gasped and looked out, the bright light touching all of her, he was warm. Tears came out.

'What's happening?' She thought and looked up to Syaoran.

" Who are you?" He demanded.

She reached in her shirt and took out two necklaces and pointed to them. Syaoran stopped in mid air and looked at them, his eyes dilated, his heart leapt.

" Where did you get this?" He asked.

She struggled and pointed to the thin golden ring and pointed to Syaoran, and then held her key and pointed to the castle.

" Odaka.. Odaka gave this one to you?"

She shook her head.

" No..."

She struggled and held her throat.

" Ur..Ma......ma..." She squeaked making him stiffen.

" What....."

"Ur..." She held her neck in the strain, tears mingled with sweat fell from her eyes.

" Ow..." She cried in squeaks.

Syaoran smelled something, it felt angry and cold.

" Odaka?" He asked looking out on the scenery. He felt the girl in his arms squirm at the sound of the name that escaped her lips.

" What's the matter? Are you ok?"

' He doesn't know anything about me... if he finds out what I am... what Odaka has planned... ' Tears came harder.

She shook her head in tears, she pushed her hardest.

Syaoran blinked.

" What's wrong with you? Hey stop that! Your going to hurt yourself!" He shouted flying off deeper into the woods.

'I need to go somewhere safe...somewhere where I wont be hurt.' Sakura thought weakly as she tried to get our of his arms. She stilled as she heard something , her senses were all muffled and muted. Her hearing and ways to smell others to distinguish what they were, wasn't the same. She couldn't tell if it was Syaoran at the other side of the door, and his voice gave it away.

' Is this what Odaka's spell did to me?' She thought looking at her hands, seeing Syaoran fly into the forest. She felt the cool breeze, the trees almost singing with the birds. They seemed to conceal around her.

"...ere......re.....we?" She whispered and looked to Syaoran. He looked back at her and strangely, without any explanation.

" My hiding place. We are at my hiding place." He spoke.

She gasped, her eyes widened. She usually had to struggle to talk with the demon maids in the castle. Why could he understand her so easily? She neared him, hers arms holding him tightly to her, he stiffened slightly and looked back at her.

" Sakura?" He asked looking to her, he then dropped to his knees, she still refused to let go of him.

' How long have a longed to have you like this Syaoran....' She thought in tears as she cried.

" ....?" Syaoran felt something pocking a his mind, something that felt sure and warm. "Huh?" Syaoran reached up to touch Sakura's face.

" Did you say something?"

'Say something? I can't talk Syaoran.' She thought tears falling from her eyes. Syaoran had this insane urge to lean in and lick the tear off her face. He chuckled and cleaned the tear out with his palm.

' I never had to hold my control with Aeris...' He thought and looked to Sakura.

' I've never had any urge to clean her tears.' He thought. He blinked, a bit startled from the bluntness of his own mind.

' But I do love her.' He thought looking down on the floor. ' She bears the key of the Clow Cards, and those guardian of hers seem to like her some. What was their names again? Kero....Cielo?' He thought looking back to Sakura. She looked dirty and worn out.

" When was the last time you changed your clothes?" He asked.

Sakura blushed a crimson color and looked away, pushing him back.

' Hmm, she's embarrassed? The clothes is washed, she doesn't give off an offending smell. Its actually rather sweet... but her clothes looks old, worn out... and far too revealing.' He thought looked at her, taking his hand and etching her chin up.

" I don't mean anything bad by it, Sakura." He spoke as she refused to let go of him.

" What I can't understand is why you were in the castle." He spoke.

" Hmmm... I suppose i can leave you in my secret place, I need to meet up with Aeris and talk to her about this, maybe she ca-"

Sakura shook her head.

" n.o! Sh...ee....bad!" Sakura squeaked and struggled out of his arms, barely standing up.

Syaoran's eyes narrowed.

" She isn't bad. She's my lover and we are going to marry in a few days. Hold your tongue wench, heh or whatever's left to it." He spat at her rudely.

Sakura backed away, more tears falling. ' You never spoke to me like that anymore Syaoran..' She thought and looked down.

He noticed her do something odd. ' I guess I shouldn't think much of it, he is going to marry Aeris.. and now... he doesn't remember me anymore... it's his kingdom.. I can't do anything anymore.' She thought. She bowed in apology.

' I have to run away, and fast, he must not catch me.' She thought in tears and looked at him.

" Why are you bowing."

" G..men." She tried to say.

" ..u .o.ve Ae..is. It is....ot, in.. y pl..ce..to.. s...y ..n..e.. ting... about it...." She squeaked. With that she turned, he noticed her heart pick up in beats. She was going to run away.

" No, wait!" He shouted, he lunged for her but she ran off, her feet nimble, trying to calm her hurting heart.

" Your weak! I just want to help you!" She heard him shout. Tears poured down from her eyes.

' No you don't...' She thought tears falling. ' You want to lock me up again, you wan to hurt me.. your...your just like-' She collided with something warm, hard. She fell back but arms wrapped around her. Syaoran stopped, seeing who it was.

' What is she doing here?' He thought seeing the wings of the person Sakura collided with.

" Master?" Cielo asked suddenly.

Sakura was held up, Sakura gasped and touched Cielo's face.

" ie...lo.." She tried to speak causing her guardian to hold her tightly in a hug.

" Oh mistress you can't believe whats happened.." Cielo spoke and then leaned into Sakura kissing her neck gently. Sakura gasped blushing slightly as Cielo's lips began to glow.

Syaoran came out and watched Cielo continue.

" Odaka has gone mad, he...brainwashed......" Cielo froze as she noticed Li run out.

" Continue Cielo." He spoke.

Cielo looked to Sakura, her eyes went hollow once more.

" I'm sorry but this prisoner needs to get back to the castle." She spoke picking Sakura up.

" Huh? But she just-"

" Your priorities lie with that slut of yours." Cielo spat.

" Respect your master wench!" Shouted Li.

" She is no master of mine you idiot. I've been telling you for weeks." She spoke, her eyes narrowing.

" Don't you see the way she treats you? It's so overly dramatic, can't you tell it's all fake?" Cielo murmured. Sakura stiffened.

" C....ie..lo..." Sakura spoke looking at her guardian.

" What is it?"

Sakura pointed to the clearing.

" What are you pointing to?" Cielo asked. Syaoran turned to it.

"...? Is that a..." Syaoran looked to it closely.

" Ae..ris." Sakura spoke holding her lips, then turned to Cielo.

" What is my master without her voice?" Said Cielo lovingly as she walked along side with Sakura.

" Ari.gato Cielo.." Sakura said feeling a slight strain on her voice.

Syaoran looked to Sakura oddly.

" You can speak now?"

" Odaka had put a spell on me, just as Aeris did to you.." She spoke looking to him with weak eyes.

'That look'

" Don't look at me like that." He spat making her look down.

" You are nothing of mine to look at me like that!" He shouted receiving a strong hit.

'What?' Syaoran fell back, his romp hitting the ground as he glared to Cielo. A slight cut grazed his cheek making blood drip down it lightly.

Sakura gasped and ran to him kneeling.

" Syaoran-kun, Dai-"

Syaoran hit a strong slap to her face making her fly back a few feet.

" What the fuck!?" Shouted Cielo running to Sakura.

Syaoran stood up, his pupils taking the shape of blades. " Never again use my name wench!" He shouted.

Cielo helped Sakura up. Sakura allowed the help gratefully, her limbs were weak, she was very frail, a light bruise appeared where he hit her, her cheek starting to swell.

" You little fuck how dare you call the mistress wench! I should morph and eat your little ass, you fucking idiot!" She shouted.

Syaorans horn began to appear slightly.

" Bring it on bitch! Anything you can dish out I can beat!" He shouted his tail beginning to morph out. Slowly she began to sweat blood, his skin detaching slightly as he slowly began to transform.

" Please Cielo stop this.."

Cielo froze.

" But he insulted you master."

" That I did, and I'll hit her again if she dares to even look at me. I've barely known her for a few seconds and she's already looking at me with desire. Fucking slut."

Sakura turned away hurt.

" Gomen Li-sama, I seem to be forgetting my place."

Cielo turned to Sakura.

" Master aren't you going to tell him the truth?" Cielo spoke.

" Aeris and Odaka would erase his memory again, I've had enough. We need to go to my brother, he'll help me." Sakura spoke cleaning the dust out of her tattered dress.

" We need to become strong again." She spoke and looked at her body.

" I need to get my strength back. I need rest Cielo. " She spoke.

Cielo calmed and walked to Sakura, turning her back to Syaoran.

" Hey! Where are you going! Your a prisoner of Odaka you little bitch!" Shouted Li.

Sakura looked to Syaoran with a glare.

" That ....that man. Ask him about me, I assume that Aeris makes you food to keep your mind blank." Sakura spoke looking at him.

Pain hit her sides again and leaned over coughing.

" Master." Cielo said in alarm.

" I'm fine." Sakura spoke.

Cielo blinked and leaned in, sniffing her.

" He marked you."

Sakura shook her head.

" No, since I was weak he put his aura in me."

Cielo sighed.

" The mark of a concubine..." Cielo said sickened.

Syaoran smirked.

" So you are his whore."

" I'm his daughter." Sakura spat at him.

Syaoran froze.

" ...you..."

Syaoran shook his head.

" You lie!" He shouted. " Aeris is the daughter of Odaka Moi, not you!" He shouted.

Sakura smirked.

" Is he? " Said Sakura. Another stab of pain hit her, Cielo caught her.

" How dare you taint his name? You're just another one of his whores." Li spat.

Sakura nudged Cielo away.

" Smell me." She spoke.

Syaoran backed away.

" What."

" Smell me."

" I have no reason to."

" You think I'm his whore." Sakura spoke.

Syaoran nodded.

" Smell me, surely you know that I am a virgin by my smell do you not? My soul isn't bonded and my femininity isn't torn by any man. I'm untouched." Sakura spoke holding her shoulders in pain.

Syaoran looked away.

" Impossible." He spat and grabbed her by the shoulders. Roughly he shoved her against him making her squeak in pain.

'She's soft...' Syaoran thought as he leaned into her face and smelled her neck, indeed her soul was half pure, it reeked of Odaka's negative aura. He pressed his nose further against her neck, inhaling deeply. She smelled sweet...seductive. She had a mixture of spicy and honey smells.

" ......." Sakura had begun to feel the change in his body language; it wasn't as rough now, even though his mind didn't remember her, his instinct did. His hands were far gentler, she could hear his heart beating, and she could see his pulse vibrate through him, making his body shake... his blood boil. Yes, his body did remember her.

' She's a mix...' He thought in wonder his nose leaving her neck and gliding to her collar bone. He felt himself involuntarily drool as he inhaled deeper. Her pure smell seeped through her, becoming stronger, her aura was gentle and vicious at the same time....demon and angel? Is it possible that she could have bloods in her? If she is part demon than it is true... she is Odaka's daughter. 'Aeris is a full blooded dragon, even though Odaka is her father he is only half dragon, he's still part demon. Is this why I smell no demon in her?' He thought and went lower.

" Your a mix?" He asked his voice coming out strong and questioning.

Sakura nodded, she gasped in pain as he pushed against her stomach, her ribs were broken. "Y-Yes."

" What breeds?" He demanded.

" Dragon, Demon and Angel..." She spoke.

" Dragon.." He spoke inhaling deeply. " Yes you carry the spicy sent of them, the honey sent of a dragon." He spoke and glided lower. " You posses the stealth and vicious nature of a demon...you scent reveals it." he spoke and pressed his nose against her feminine part, making her gasp from a different sensation.

Cielo saw Syaoran inhale deeply, so deep she sensed that it may have filled his lungs. ' ? '

" You are pure." He spoke and exhaled, then released her, but did not push her away.

" How did you manage to stay a virgin and not be marked by Odaka?" Syaoran asked her seeing the bruise on her face beginning to mark itself on her left eye.

She looked away.

" I'd rather die than let him have me." She spoke and walked to Cielo.

" I fought. I fought with everything I had...." She spoke and looked to Syaoran.

" I even stabbed him in the eye..." She spoke and looked at her hands, tears appearing.

" I refuse to be his. " She spoke and then looked to Cielo.

" We need to get you to your brother, you need to gain your strength back." Cielo spoke and looked to Syaoran.

" I'm taking her." Cielo spoke and leaned down to pick her up.

" What? Wait! You can't!?"

Cielo looked to Syaoran.

" Tch, who are you to tell me what I should and should not do? I'm taking her to somewhere safe."

" That's just an excuse!"

" I don't give a rats ass what you think about this! I'm leaving!" Cielo shouted extending her wings.

Syaoran stood in front of them.

" Your not leaving!" He shouted.

" Move aside!"

" No!"

Sakura gasped.

" What is the master?"

Sakura held her stomach. Syaoran sensed something powerful coming out of her.

" What....is it?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura held her head.

" NO!" She shouted struggling.

" NO!" She shouted again louder as she pushed Cielo away.

" What is it master!?" Cielo asked worried.

" H-he's calling ...me." Sakura whispered her eyes wide as she held her head.

" He's telling me to come..." She whispered.

" He says he wont forgive me." She whispered.

Syaoran looked to Sakura.

" Girl?"

" NO! I wont go back!" She shouted and struggled more.

She suddenly began to glow, releasing a bright light she went up into the skies.

" I WONT!!" She shouted.

Cielo gasped.

" Master no! Your giving away out position!" Cielo shouted.

Suddenly, without thinking, Syaoran grabbed her and pressed his lips against hers roughly. The bright glow that she gave out died suddenly. Cielo shoved him back off of her angrily seeing him fall dazed on the floor.

" What the fuck did you do that for?' Cielo shouted to him angrily.

" I just put her to sleep." Syaoran said while on the floor, touching her lips.

" It's a healing technique that I did with Aeris a long time ago, when we were younger.

" Healing?"

" Yes. I healed her, I gave her half of my energy…for her body to recover a bit faster." Syaoran spoke making Cielo straighten up slightly.

" Why did you do that for her?"

" She… " Syaoran couldn't finish and looked toward Sakura.

" I don't know.." He spoke looking at her, then to Cielo.

" I feel as if she's.. important to me somehow." Syaoran spoke looking to the girl in Cielos arms.

" That's because she is important to you, you idiot!.." Cielo spoke her wings extending.

" I'm going now, and you can't stop me." She spat to Syaoran, then lanced up in the air.

" …….." He stood there perfectly still, growling slightly.

'Is that girl the reason why I felt so at ease in this castle? Her scent reminded me of the castle and how it was always warm and cheery, as this white haired wench takes away that…girl. I feel that feeling leaving with her.' He thought his wings extending involuntarily.

'Why don't I want her to take her? What's with me? I love Aeris.. not a slut that I've barely met. ' He thought his eyes dilating.

…….

'her forms getting paler.. smaller…'

……..

'Damn it I can't just let her leave! What if that idiot is right? What if this is all a lie..?' He thought flying in to the air.

" Your not going anywhere without me!" Shouted Li flying after Cielo.

Cielo didn't stop and continued to fly.

' He can't let go of her.. even without memory his heart still can't be separated from Sakura.' A light smile touched her lips.

'There still hope.'
