Sakura Golden Wolf's Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: 0_0 I just realized that I caught all the run away characters. Now what am I going to do? Hey! Guess what?! I'm almost done!!!!!!!! Only about…… *Counts fingers* seven-eight more chapters left!
Sakura: Really?
(Sakura-chan starts crying.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Aw, Sakura-chan, don't cry! It's been wonderful working with you, and I've got a secret for you.
(SGW puts an arm around Sakura-chan and whispers in her ear.)
Sakura: REALLY?! YAY!!
Tomoyo: SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!! Nobody's supposed to know until the last chapter!
Sakura: OH! Okay!
(Sakura runs off dancing.)
Sakura: Lah lah lah lalah lah lalah!!!

Chapter 26:
Eriol's POV:
Everything was so strange now. After Sakura-chan pulled Syaoran inside, I looked at the bewildered guardians.
"Yue…."
Stretching out the name, I put my hands on my hips.
"Did you know about this?"
Blinking, he moved his cat-like gaze on me.
"I knew she was a Kinomoto. I didn't know she was Clow-san's child, also."
Blinking, Nakuru started laughing uncontrollably. Eyes tearing up, she held her gut and rolled on the ground. Stepping away, Keroberos almost got his tail squashed.
"Nakuru! Watch my tail!"
Still holding her sides, Nakuru stopped rolling.
"Nakuru, what's so funny?"
Tapping the invisible bond of ours, I read her thoughts.
"Ugh! Oh, God, Nakuru!"
Even though the way she was thinking wasn't, the facts were mostly true. Since I was one half, and Sakura-chan's FATHER was the OTHER half, that WOULD mean that I was her half-father.
"But not that WAY!"
Throwing a scathing glance at her, I stalked away, grumbling about changing her personality.
"Eriol-sama! You wouldn't!!!!!"
Sakura's POV:
The next morning, I saddled my horse and jumped on. Slinging my nearly full satchel over my shoulder, Kero-chan flew up to me and sat on the horses' head.
"Sakura-chan, don't you think you should wait for the others?"
"Kero-chan, we only have a week. I must get there soon. The journey itself is going to take nearly that long. Besides, here they come."
Sure enough, everyone was coming out the door, dragging their feet. Except for Spinel-kun. I think Nakuru-chan got into the sugar.
"C'mon, C'mon, C'mon! Let's go, go, go, go!"
Flying circles around Eriol-kun, he yanked Spinel-kun down by the tail, dragging him along.
"Nakuru, how many times must I tell you? Don't feed Spinel sweets!"
Giggling, Nakuru-chan jumped onto her horse.
"Eriol-kun, there are only five horses. What is Yukito-kun going to ride?"
"Sakura-chan? Awake? By herself? It's a miracle!"
Not very amusing.
"I got enough sleep the three weeks, thank you."
"O…k…. Yukito's got his own horse. It's out back."
Yawning, Yukito-kun rode up on a silver-grey beauty. Oh, Kami-sama. It looks just like the one from years ago. I was riding sidesaddle again, since I still had the white dress on. Turning my face away, I felt the Tear move gently. 'Mama….. I miss you all so MUCH!'
"Sakura-chan!"
Turning, I saw an older man, and my mother.
"Mama…. Daddy…"
Tears welling up, I heard Tomoyo-chan ride up.
"Daijobu desu ka, Sakura-chan?"
"I'm fine."
"Sakura-chan, where'd you get that gem?"
"Okaasan gave it to me. Look, Tomoyo-chan, I'd appreciate it if we didn't talk about ….. that yet."
"All right Sakura-chan! Hey, how do you know where we're going?"
Turning, I noticed I WAS in front.
"Instinct, I suppose. I DID live there before."
"Oh yeah!"
************************************************************************
It was nearly nightfall, and Syaoran hadn't spoke to me at all. Whenever I looked at him, he looked away. Why was he avoiding me? Hurt, I didn't try to speak to him. He was IGNORING me? Why? Hopefully he'll come talk to me, soon.
Syaoran's POV:
I had spent last night thinking. At first, it seemed wonderful that Sakura was now a princess, but something within me spoke up.
"Are you certain? Are YOU worthy of HER? She's the most powerful QUEEN of all time! Think! As soon as she gets to the Ruins, she'll be a queen. It doesn't matter what your mother says. When she was the Cards' Mistress, that was enough to be 'worthy.' But now, she's also a nearly queen! You are LESS than she is!"
These thoughts plagued me all night and all day as we rode, too. Once in a while, I saw Sakura look at me. It hurt, but I tried to avoid her.
"I'm not worthy…."
At nightfall, Yukito and I gathered wood. Nakuru and Sakura corralled the horses, and Eriol and Tomoyo-chan started dinner. Kero and Spinel were fighting of course.
"No way! Ju Jitsu is WAY better!"
"No! Tae Kwon Do is MUCH better than JU JITSU!"
"KERO! SPINEL! SHIZUKA NI!" (Shut up)
Dumping the wood by the fire, I went outside the ring of light and leapt up a tree.
Nakuru's POV:
About half an hour after Syaoran-kun left, I followed him. Climbing the tree, I sat near him.
"What are you thinking about, Little Wolf?"
"What do you want, Nakuru? You sound like my mother."
Leaning against the trunk, he looked almost…. Forlorn.
"What are you thinking about, PRINCE Little Wolf?"
Snorting he turned away from me.
"THAT'S the problem. I'm just a PRINCE."
"Hmm?"
"I'M a PRINCE. SAKURA'S going to be a QUEEN."
"AH! Feeling inferior, ne?"
"Yes. I'm not worthy of her. She deserves better."
Shaking my head, I stood on my branch.
"Maybe Sakura-chan doesn't care. Maybe it doesn't make a difference to HER. Ask her, will you?"
Snorting, he didn't answer. Sighing, I spread my wings and got ready for my nightly flight.
Tomoyo's POV:
"Eriol, why are we moving so fast?"
"We have a deadline. A week. Or something horrible happens."
Pausing, I stirred the veggies.
"Oh. Did you notice Syaoran-kun is avoiding Sakura-chan?"
Eriol added wood.
"I believe my kawaii shisan (Cute descendant) is feeling inferior, doubting himself."
Startled, I smacked the stick against the bowl.
"Why? He has no reason to."
Sighing, Eriol stared out after Syaoran-kun.
"I know. It's just one of those things that happen. Hopefully, it won't last long. Sakura-chan needs him."
Coming back, Yukito-kun and Sakura-chan joined us.
"Is the food ready?"
"Nai. Almost."
"Do we have any rice pudding? I'm HUNGRY!"
Laughing, I handed some of my berries to him.
"Here, Kero-chan. Just don't choke on them."
He paused, with his cheeks bulging and his mouth and paws stained purple.
"Mwat?"
Everyone laughed at this, except…. Sakura-chan.
