Hmm, so why was Rena so worked up? Let's find out!
Sakura, Rena, Syaoran, Syaoron and Sora were all sitting on the floor in Sakura's and Syaoran's room quietly. Rena was somewhat irritated, while Sora was pissing herself laughing on the floor. Sakura and Syaoran were still confused as to what was going on, waiting for an explanation. "So, what happened?" Syaoran asked. Sora was still laughing hysterically, while Rena crossed her arms over her chest, "Hmph." That left Syaoron to explain everything. "Well Sora told Rena something about Sakura disappearing, so dear Rena freaked out and ran off before Sora could tell her she was kidding. I could tell Sora was just messing around because of how much she was over exaggerating everything and the fact she'd go after Sakura straight away if she did." He explained casually. Sakura gave Sora a disapproving look, "Sora. Apologise." She demanded. Sora immediately stopped laughing, surprised by how much Sakura seemed to be annoyed with her. Sora felt guilty, and apologised to Rena. "I'm sorry Rena, what I did was very inconsiderate of me. Please accept my apology." Everyone turned their heads to Sakura, including Rena, wondering how she managed to get Sora to do apologise. "What?" Sakura asked puzzled. "Nothing, it's just that not many can get Sora to apologise on the spot apart from Yuui." Syaoran answered, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Oh…Is that a good thing?" she asked. "Yes, actually it is." Yuui said, walking into the room and over to Rena. He placed a hand on her shoulder, and she immediately sat up straight. "Hi Yuui…" She was smiling, but on the inside she was dreading something. "I have some things to talk to you about, how about you come with me?" he told her, rather than requesting. "No, it's alright, everything's fine here; right guys?" her voice shook. "Hmm, I don't know. What do you think Rena?" Syaoron asked, turning to his girlfriend. "Huh?" she asked, confused. "Hmm, yeah I'm not so sure either." Syaoran smirked at his sister, who was pleading to be saved from what was to come. "Well that settles it; you're coming with me." Yuui said, literally dragging her out of the room.
The four teens watched, amused. Sakura and Rena were confused as to what was going on, so Syaoran explained. "I thought you knew that those two were married?" he said to the two girls. "Wait, they're married!?" Rena exclaimed. "Yeah, they have been for…oh I lost count of the years."
"Isn't Sora twenty three?" Sakura asked.
"Hmm, so that means they've been married for five years then." Syaoran said.
"Everything makes sense now, she's so adorable." Sakura laughed.
"Even so, I wonder why she was so scared to go with Yuui…" Rena wondered. The two boys looked at each other, an all knowing look on their grinning faces. "I don't think you'd want to know." Syaoron said. The two sisters looked at each other and shrugged, "Alright then." Sakura said.
~Three Days Later~
Sakura could feel irritation rising within her as she stormed through the castle that, since her arrival, she already knew quite well. A couple of the maids were running after her, calling out her name. "Lady Reina, please; be reasonable!" the young maid called out, trying to catch up to her. "I refuse to even see them! Forget it!" Sakura shouted, picking up her pace. She picked up the front of her long white gown and began to run through the castle and out into her favourite garden.
She headed for the large cherry blossom tree in the middle of the three, climbing it to get away from her maids. She reached a height she was comfortable with, and sat herself on the large branch sighing.
-Flashback-
Sakura stood in the large entrance hall, looking at three different people dressed in formal attire. "Princess, these are your tutors for your studies." Yukito told her, introducing her to them. She smiled at the three standing before her, "It's nice to meet you." She said. The two on the left smiled, but the girl who seemed to be about two years older than Sakura, didn't. Instead she turned her head away and said coldly, "Why should I teach someone who couldn't even save their mother?"
Sakura looked at her, anger entering her voice. "Get out-all of you!"
-End Flashback-
It was possibly the most vulnerable time for Sakura, as she couldn't touch anyone even if she wanted to. Tears fell down her face as she remembered her mother disappearing before her very eyes. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you…" she whispered, leaning her forehead on her knees.
There was rustling below her, and Syaoran popped up beside her on another branch. "I heard about what happened." He said quietly. Sakura didn't look at him, "It's my-
"It's not your fault that your mother died so don't blame yourself. It was the fault of that disgusting man who started all of this."
"Even so, she was protecting me."
"I think she'd be happy to know that you, Rena and everyone else is safe from serious harm. Your mother wouldn't want you to feel guilty for the loss of her life."
"I wish I could see her again, that's all I want."
Syaoran wanted so desperately to embrace his lover, to comfort her more than he could right now. An eerie silence sat between them, waiting to be broken. "I don't want outsiders to teach me." Sakura stated. She still felt uncomfortable with people she didn't know, and she was still uncomfortable with Yukito and Kurogane as well as everyone else she didn't know well in the castle. "Maybe we should go talk to Yukito then." Syaoran suggested, starting his descend to the ground. Sakura followed, deciding that she should talk to Yukito about it, but she didn't want to go alone.
Feet hitting soft grass, she followed at a safe distance behind Syaoran. He seemed to be leading her to Yukito, as if knowing that she still wasn't feeling comfortable with these people. "Do you know that I'm still uncomfortable with the people in the castle?" she asked curiously. "I know everything that you like, don't like, need, want." He replied. Sakura blushed, following behind him.
The three visitors had been sent away, and the nineteen year old who insulted Sakura was punished severely. No one blamed Sakura for her actions, knowing that they would do the same thing if in her position. She sat in a room with everyone, including Yukito and Kurogane, feeling quite unhappy with herself. Everyone had been telling her that it wasn't her fault, but she still felt horrible.
Sora decided to try and cheer Sakura up by telling her something that Rena did. "Hey Sakura, you should have seen how mad your sister was at that stupid chick who disrespected you! She walked up to her and full on slapped her across the face-sent her running from the castle!" Sora exclaimed. Sakura looked at Rena, who seemed to be feeling rather proud of herself for standing up for her family. "That girl may be born into a rich family, but she is no noble. She needed to learn her place." Rena said smugly. Sakura looked into her sister's eyes, noticing a hint of grief hidden behind her smile. It was then that she realised that she wasn't the only one feeling guilty for what had happened in past events, and gave herself a mental slap in the face. She stood up in front of everyone, "I'm sorry for my immaturity; I know I am not the only one grieving over what has happened in the past, and I should not linger on it. I must do what I must to make everyone happier and keep the world balanced."
Everyone looked at her, surprised by her sudden resilience. Proud faces looked at her from all around, applauding her. "I'm guessing we shouldn't be getting outsiders to tutor you, so I'll assign the task to Fai, Yuui and…" Yukito stopped, looking around the room considering schedules of the others. His eyes darted to Syaoran, who raised his eyebrows. "You're joking, right?" Syaoran asked. "Would you mind taking on the task of mathematics?" Yukito asked. "Well, I don't see why not." Syaoran answered.
Both Rena and Sakura winced at the thought of maths, and now that Syaoran would be teaching them, it's not as if they could simply ditch-he'd just chase them down and drag them back to the study.
"Well Lady Sakura, are you happy with those choices?" Yukito asked, his eyes kind. Sakura snapped out of her daze, "Oh! Yes, that's fine…" she answered quickly. Sora stared at Sakura with a straight face, "Now this could be interesting." She said, still with a straight face.
Eheh, Sora's evil. Probably around 40 chapters I think. LET'S FIND OUT. Review?
