Sakura Golden Wolfs' Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa Minna! This is Sakura Golden Wolf with another chapter of At The Water's Edge! In this chapter, I get to talk to none other than my favorite non-human, Keroberos!
(Kero flies onto the stage.)
Kero: Konnichi Wa! Glad to be here! I just came in from filming my latest movie. So, what's up Sakura Golden Wolf?
(Sakura Golden Wolf tears up.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Sniff… Sniff… I can't believe this! I…. sniff… finally get to meet the real Kero! It's so unfair to us Americans! We get the crappy U.S. version!
(Regains composure.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Eh, heh, Sorry Kero-chan. So, what did you think about this fan fic so far?
(Kero reads the script.)
Kero: Hmm, well… I can't say that it's not good….. But it could use improving.
Sakura Golden Wolf: Oh…. Gomen…. I'll…. Do better. It was just the Prologue! The first chapter is better! Here's Chapter One of At the Water's Edge!

2 Chapter 1
Sakura's POV:
As I woke up, I kept my eyes closed, feeling an unfamiliar warmth all around me. Snuggling deeper, I pulled the covers up to my chin, half asleep. Then, as my thoughts started spinning, I remembered what happened and I opened my eyes. Sitting up, I gave a startled
"Hoe? Where am I?"
Scrambling off the bed, I looked down.
"Hoe? What's going on?"
Instead of my normal servants' garb, I was wearing a white nightgown. Running my hand through my ruffled hair, I looked around. I obviously wasn't in the Li Kingdom anymore. The room was of Japanese culture, with a cherry blossom quilt on the bed. Crossing the room to the door, I opened the door a tiny bit and peeked out. Giving a squeak, I shut the door again and jumped back onto the bed. A few minutes later, the door opened and a girl came in.
"Ohayo. Daijobu desu ka?"
"Daijobu desu. Where am I?"
Smiling, the girl sat down on the chair next to the bed.
"I'm Princess Tomoyo from the Daidouji Kingdom. My guards found you lying in the courtyard two days ago. They got suspicious, so one of them stayed outside your door. When they saw you wake up, he came and got me. Where are you from?"
Hesitating, I asked,
"This is the Daidouji Kingdom?"
Nodding, she leaned forward.
"Ano, well, I'm from the…. Li Kingdom… But I'm not a spy!"
I burst out. Shaking her head, the Princess frowned.
"You couldn't have been born there. They don't teach Japanese to the servants."
"I don't know where I was born. Yelan-sama said that they found me lying in a carriage that had been attacked. They didn't find my parents, so they let me serve Meiling-sama."
Looking up at Tomoyo-sama, she nodded.
"Go on."
"Well, everyone knows that Meiling-sama is engaged to Prince Syaoran-sama. Well, when Meiling-sama found out, she followed Syaoran-sama everywhere, and since I was her servant, I followed them both. Then, a year ago, Prince Syaoran-sama, well, took an interest in me. We started seeing each other often, and two months ago, Meiling-sama found out. She told me to stop seeing Syaoran-sama, and I did. But then Syaoran-sama got hurt by my actions, and we started meeting again. Then a week ago, she found out again, and threatened me. Then, three days ago, I believe, she caught us talking again. She sent me here, I guess."
I didn't know why I was trusting her. After all, what I just admitted could get me thrown in the dungeon. Perhaps it was her natural sweetness. She had violet eyes that smiled at you, and her purple-black hair was held back with a bow.
"Hmm… That could be serious. What's your name?"
Hesitating, I told her.
"Sakura, my name's Sakura."
Syaoran's POV:
Angry, I ran over to Meiling to shake some sense into her.
"Meiling! What did you do to her?"
Glomping onto my arm, she perked up.
"Oh! Don't worry about her! She's finally out of the way! Now we can be happy!"
Frowning, I scraped her off my arm.
"Meiling! I told you, I'm not yours! Where's Sakura? Is she at least okay?"
Frowning, Meiling pouted.
"Oh, her! Who knows? I think I sent her to some kingdom. Come on, Mother Yelan wants us for dinner."
Pulling me along, she rambled on.
"Mother Yelan says that since you're turning 19 and that I'm 18, she decided that we should get married soon! Isn't that great?!"
Groaning, I made a famous frown.
"Mother says that, hmm?"
Bouncing up and down, Meiling pulled me into the dining hall.
"Morning, Mother Yelan! I found him!" Mother smiled at her as she sat next to her.
"That's good. I trust you told him?"
"Mm-hmm! Right before we came in!"
Cutting in, I spoke up.
"Mother, can I speak to you?"
"Yes, son. As soon as breakfast is over."
"Thank you, mother."
So, as soon as we finished, mother pulled me into the side room.
"So son, what is bothering you?" Finally, I get to let her know!
"Mother! I've told you that I don't want to marry her! I refuse to!"
Sighing, mother shook her head.
"Son, we've been over this before. Unless you find a replacement, you must marry her."
Exasperated, I flung out my hands. "What about Sakura-chan?"
Mother raised her eyebrow.
"I did say acceptable replacement, did I not? She's a sweet child, but she IS just a servant."
Eyes flaming, blurted it out.
"Mother Do you know what Meiling did? She's banished Sakura-chan to some other kingdom until someone retrieves! She used MAGIC! Wasn't banishment by magic outlawed?"
Shaking her head, mother stood up.
"Forget about her for now. Wei's waiting for you."
Angry, I turned around and headed for the gym.
So! What did you think? I'm evil. I'll admit it. But only in the following aspect! Hee Hee…. I've already got 8 chapters done. I just have to type them up. R+R! Coming soon! Chapter 2 of At the Water's Edge!
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa Minna! This is Sakura Golden Wolf with another chapter of At The Water's Edge! In this chapter, I get to talk to none other than my favorite non-human, Keroberos!
