Baby Blossom:I'm glad you think so.Happy reading!!^_^
Hina:Hmm...Good suggestion.Initially i was thinking of making Tomoyo liked Eriol(that's why she'll become the evil one as i said),but then she gives Eriol up to Sakura,but i wasn't thinking of who to pair her up with.Maybe to Syaoran,but i'll consider other choices...Thanks anyway!!^_^
Sakura Blossom:Yeah,i think so too!!!They looked cute together,and i think their personality match.Sakura the dense but cute sort,Eriol the cool yet never angry sort....Mwahahahahahahahahhaha,thinking of it makes me wanna go crazy!!!!!*_*
Oki,on with da story!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After dinner,which was simply delicious,Tomoyo and Elaine went to bed.Feeling full and satisfied,luckily,for Sakura,Elaine did not did anything nasty.Tomoyo winked at Sakura before walking out of the kitchen.Sakura smiled.
Being in a rather good mood herself,Sakura sings a tune softly to herself while washing the utensils.Thinking of Eriol,she giggles softly to herself.
^*^*^*^Sakura's POV^*^*^*^*
It's feels so easy to talk to that guy,as if we had known each other for ages.I've never met anyone whom i can talk to so easily,save for Tomoyo.I was shocked when he said his name was Eriol,i thought he was Prince Eriol for a moment,but then,i couldn't be possible.I smiled a little as i think about him.After cleaning up everything,it was already very late.Plopping on my bed,i heaved a sigh of relieve.Today was probably the happiest moment in my life,i found a friend to talk to...
I flipped myself and landed on my stomach.The hay i am lying on rub my skin raw,but after sleeping on it for so long,i've gotten used to it.Looking around and checking if anyone is around,i search for the loose brick from the wall behind me and pull it out.
No one will guess that i would hide something inside,it was a secret compartment i found when i was fixing my sleeping place.There hidden was a musical box,which no longer works,but in it contain precious memories.Memories only......I felt something wet on my cheeks.Tears???
^*^*^*^End of Sakura's POV*^*^*^*
Hot tears streamed down Sakura's rosy cheek as she thought of her past.Sakura was a merchant's daughter,a merchent named Fujikata,her mother and her brother.Their family was fairly rich,and Sakura was very contented,with her family around her.
Until one day God decided to take her parents away.They died in an accident,leaving Sakura and her brother behind.Due to some unknown reasons,her brother left her,and till now Sakura refuses to admit her brother had abandoned her.She still hopes,in her mind secretly,that her brother was alive and well,and will someday take her away.
But it was just a dream.
Taking out a small hand-paint portrait of her family,Sakura wiped the tears away.She smiled.
"It's been sometimes since i talked to you,Mother,Father..."Sakura whispered as her lips brushed the picture.Sakura had been talking to the picture since their death.It made her better at least to know that their spirits would be up in heaven watching over her or her brother,where ever he is.
Sakura began talking,and very long she had talked.She talked about how she met a new friends,how she felt about him(which is very good...^_~),what happened to her and all.
"I'm talking a lot,am i???"Sakura smiled cheerfully.Still clutching the protrait tightly in her hand,she mumbles,"I wonder how is Eriol doing...."Sakura falls asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol woke up suddenly,as if he had heard somebody called him(Coincidence....).An excruciating pain went through his head and he falls back again.
"Where am i???"Eriol thought,before everything turns hazy again.
The king and queen were in the throne room.
"Our son Eriol is getting more and more disobedient.How can i pass the throne on to him when the time comes???"The kings shaked his head,talking to the advisor.The advisor smiled.
"Prehaps you would like to chose a worthier candidate,for instance,my son.He is well versed in fencing and the ways of war.Also,he topped the royal class of the Royal palace..."The advisor smirked."Besides...I meant no offence,your Highness,but Prince Eriol is too arrogant and oblivious to be able to take over the throne's place and concentrate on the country's matters...."The advisor cast a glance at the Queen.
The king waved his hands,changing the topic once again."Well,we'll talked about this some other day,shall we???What matters most now is how my son is doing.I'm still thinking,is it too hard on my son???After all,he's still unconscious until now after being hit by your men..."
The Queen frowned.
People sees her as the virtuous and gentle lady,a worthy Queen.In fact,she is much more wiser than the King himself.She noticed that the advisor has been nominating his son to be king since Prince Eriol turned 18.
The Queen is not stupid,she knows what he's hinting at.....The Throne's place.
And another thing is....
She suspected that the advisor may be plotting to overthrow the country.Since then,she's been wary of him.Yet,the King trusted the advisor too much to suspect him of anything.
The advisor smirked."Well,your Highness,Prince Eriol is a cunning BOY and if we don't knocked him unconscious,he'll probably run away from us again...."The advisor emphasized the word "boy".
"Now now,Gondor(that's the advisor name...)...My son is not THAT bad..We just have to understand him.He's not as bad as YOU thought.."The Queen forced a smile.
The advisor smirked once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bright sunlight streamed through the window,the birds chirp sweetly outside.Eriol opened his eyes slightly,and close it again.The pain in his head is still there.'Where am i???"he muttered.While his eyes adjust to the surrounding,his eyes shot open.He started to remember everything that happened to him before."HOW DID I GET HERE!!!!!"Eriol shouted.
The gusrds outside Eriol's room jumped and rushed in."Are there intruders??Where???Where???"The guards looked around wildly.Eriol rolled his eyes."How did i get here?"Eriol asked coldly.The guards shivered.
Yo...you...were sent he...here by the ad...advisor's men,th..the others i'm n...not really sure..."The guards stuttered."Where are they???"Eriol crossed his arms.
"Prince...Eriol....th...the kin...king and....queen..i..s..in th..the...throne's room..."The guards stuttered again.Eriol stood up,brushing the blanket off him."I'm going there..."he muttered coolly."But...The king and Queen are having a conference with the advisor!!"The guard said in a panic.
Eriol turned around."Do i look like i care???"His icy blue eyes glared at them.One of the guards fainted.Eriol walked out of the room.
"I think you should......"the advisor's words were cut as the door to the throne's room burst open suddenly.Eriol was seen storming towards them before he stopped and bow stiffly."Greetings Father and Mother..."Eriol said coolly.
The advisor smirked."Prince Eriol....I meant no offence,but surely your way of coming in could be a little bit more civilised..."
"I sincerely believe that my ways of opening a door is absolutely no concern of yours.."Eriol smirked.The advisor opened his mouth to say something but thought better of it,and close his mouth again.
Eriol turned his eyes back to his parents.
The king beamed."Ah....Just in right timing...Your mother and I had decided,we are doing to get a wife for you.It high time i retire,and also time for you to get a wife,so i can pass the throne on to you..."
"A wife???"Eriol's blue eyes widened considerably."Yes...a wife..."The queen echoed."After you get a wife,the throne's place shall officially be yours..."she continued.The advisor frowned at these words.
"But...but..."Eriol protested.
"No buts.Our decisions are final.A ball shall be held and invitations shall be given out throughout the country and other country shall also be notified.You must be present at the ball,to choose your own bride.Am i understood???"The queen said with authority.Eriol sighed resignedly."Yes Mother..."
Then a bright idea came into Eriol's mind."Father and Mother,before the ball,i have a request..."Eriol spoke clearly.
"What kind of request???"The king said.
"Let me go outside the palace ground for 2 weeks..."Eriol said slowly.
The king looked shocked."Outside the palace ground???For 2 weeks!!!??It is not possible.Please keep in mind that you are the prince,and anything can happen to you if you are not careful.You're the future of our country!!!"The king shook his head quickly.
"Please!!!I'll promise i'll be back.Wei can be with me can't he???He'll take good care of me!!!!!And i can take care of myself!!Please let me have some freedom!!"Eriol pleaded.
The king looked at his queen and the queen nodded.The king sighed.
Eriol could already see the conclusion formed in his Father's mind and he suppressed his smile.
"Very well...You may go.But still i'll be worried about you.Prince Syaoran shall go with you.And he'll make sure that you'll keep your promise..."The king clapped.
"Could you get me Prince Syaoran???"the king said to his guards.The guard nodded.
Prince Syaoran walked into the Throne's room minutes later.Bowing,he greeted the Royalties."You shall accompany Prince Eriol outside the palace ground and i hope that both of you will take care of one another."The king commanded and Syaoran bow.
Eriol beamed and winked at Syaoran and Syaoran smiled.
The advisor frowned.Deep inside his devious mind,a plan is forming,to stop Eriol from getting back,and getting the throne's place....
