Samurai Secret
Chapter Twenty-Five
Sakura's POV
Sakura gasped out loud when she saw Kyoto city.
How magnificent! I have never ever seen anything so fine! This city reeks of luxury! And... classiness! Oh... I hope my clothes aren't too shabby for this fine palace!
Syaoran laughed when he saw his... koishii's face. She seemed amazed at the sight. He on the other hand, had been here before... but truth be told, this place had gotten even more beautiful.
"Syaoran," her voice penetrated his thoughts, "Do we go to a hotel? Or are we allowed to stay at court?"
"We live in the castle... we are nobles after all... prominent ones too..."
Sakura grinned at his answer. Oh! Now I get to see what the richest place on earth looks like! Not to mention it makes getting the Sakura techniques much easier!
"Excuse me." Sakura's voice was warm and gentle when she spoke to the guard. "I am Kinomoto Sakura. And this is Li Syaoran. Um... Please show us to some rooms?"
Syaoran laughed and said, "Please show us to our rooms kind sir."
The guard was an old man and his eyes flicked between Sakura and Syaoran. He seemed to determine that they were 'together' and found it very interesting. He was kind... like a grandfather and gave them a warm welcome, "Please! Follow me! Li-sama, Kinomoto-sama. Her majesty will be with you shortly. His majesty is currently away on a trip.
They had been shown to a large room with a marble floor. There were chairs for them to sit in and they did. Within two minutes, the empress arrived.
Wow... she's magnificent... just like her city.
Sakura was stupefied with the empress. She was beautiful. She had long, flowing black hair that glistened whenever light shone on it, and her dress had many layers, so that at the sleeves you would seen a rainbow of colors.
The empress smiled, "Greetings. Li-san, Kinomoto-san. Thank you for visiting court... it has been a while since any of your family has been here. You will be shown to your rooms immediately. They are for you to use as long as you want."
The two had bowed when her majesty entered. They bowed again and were escorted to the east wing of the castle. Surprisingly enough, their rooms were right across from each other.
Sakura stepped into her room.
Amazing! This room is so spacious... and so well decorated! Sakura noted that her things had already been laid out by servants and that all the furniture in the room was soft and cushiony.
Sakura rushed out of her room and seeing that Syaoran's door was open, rushed into his room.
"Syaoran!" Sakura cried gleefully and promptly wrapped her arms around him. "This place is so wonderful!"
His room is just as nice as mine!
Syaoran laughed and quickly pecked her cheek then released himself from her grip as a servant entered the room.
Sakura turned pink as Syaoran asked the servant, "Excuse me, but where are the Sakura gardens?"
After finding out the Sakura book's whereabouts, Syaoran dismissed the servant and lead Sakura down to the garden.
"Kirei..." Sakura breathed in the fresh air and the sweet aroma of Sakura trees. "Come on! Let's go find that tree!"
They did find the tree... and Sakura was about to unlock the book, but a guard came by and told them that it was nearly time for dinner.
Shoot. Better go change. I mean this is Kyoto court. If I don't, her majesty will probably be offended or something.
Syaoran's POV
Geez. It takes girls a long time to get ready... oh well. I'll wait forever for my Sakura.
Syaoran grinned at the thought and didn't notice anyone's presence until two arms snaked their way around his waist.
"Syaoran! I haven't seen you for a while," a sickening voice whispered in his ear. Just then Sakura had finished changing and was stepping out of her room.
She look gorgeous, her hair was still in that loose bun, but this time it had green sparkles dancing around in her hair. She wore a western-style dress Tomoyo had made her and it complimented her figure nicely. It was light pink with one slit that reached five inches about her knees on her right leg. There were soft, white patterns on it and on her neck hung a small emerald necklace. On her face, she wore a pretty smile on her face.
Well, the smile lasted for about five second. It vanished under the shadow of her bangs as she asked quietly, "Syaoran... who is this?"
During all this time, the boy had been desperately trying to get out of a black-haired girl's grip. He finally succeeded.
"Uh. Sakura, this is my cousin Ling Ling. (Don't laugh. Couldn't think of a name.)"
The girl had coal black eyes and everything about her seemed sharp and dangerous. One could tell by looking at her that she was a terrible flirt and had a malicious air about her. She wore a black kimono, with blood red flower petals. The slits on either side of her dress were high and she wore a lot of makeup and jewelry.
"I'm not just his cousin, girl," Ling Ling smirked. "I'm going to be his wife... as soon as I convince his mother. The elders of the clan have already agreed... haven't they Syaoran darling?"
Syaoran jumped away from her and grabbed Sakura's hand. "You have to convince me too Ling Ling. I don't want to marry you."
He turned and gave Sakura a smile who smiled back at him weakly.
Ling Ling 'hmphed' and stormed away. "Sakura... I don't like her... you know that right?"
Sakura gave him a dazzling smile and they walked to the main hall hand in hand.
That night, they were the guests of honor, and sat at the right hand of her majesty. They had bowed to the entire court, and the entire court had bowed right back.
Wow. The food is really fancy. Syaoran bent down to pick up something her dropped.
Shoot! My back hurts from bowing so much. (.)
Sakura seemed to sense his pain and get the dropped item for him. When excused, they immediately left the hall and began walking back to their rooms.
"Syaoran!" a female voice called out.
Syaoran turned with a frown but immediately smiled as he saw it was not Ling Ling but his other cousin, "Meiling!" The two hugged and Sakura felt a pang of hurt in her chest.
"Sakura! This is my cousin Meiling. She's not obsessed with me like Ling Ling thank goodness." Immediately, Sakura's mood brightened a bit and she greeted Meiling politely.
"Hello, my name is Sakura, Meiling-san... I'm uh... a uh... friend of Syaoran's?"
Syaoran shook his head and planted a kiss on her lips, "Meiling, that's who she is."
The black haired girl couldn't help but laugh REALLY loudly, "Ohohohoho! Syaoran! You dog. You finally found yourself a girl. I was beginning to worry that you were gay!"
The three laughed together.
To be continued...
Ya... another one of those transition chapters... the evil begins in the next one! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! You must review and recommend me on that thingy... don't know what it's called but ya! Or.... BWAHAHAHAHA you will never see the next chappie EVER!!!!!
Ya I know. I'm evil... but serious!
I've decided! Meiling shall not be evil! I'll make her really kewl... and give Syaoran another cousin to act evil in her stead! MUAHAHAHAHA... sorry.
