Chapter Four:

Fate of Two

"Sakura, you and your brother said that the boy possessed magic with in him," Kero said as he flew to Sakura on her bed.

"He could be the other cardcaptor," Sakura stated.

"And your brother said that other young man that was with him had magic too," Kero stated.

"Very interesting," Kero continued as he rubbed his chin.

Sakura stood from her bed and walked to her window and if you looked closely you could see the Li kingdom in the far distance.

"I have to see him again," Sakura said out of the blue.

"What?" Kero asked as he was slapped out of his thoughts.

"I have to see him again," Sakura repeating.

"His eyes they were like nothing I have never seen before," Sakura said as she turned to him.

"It seems he did cast a spell on you," Kero laughed.

"Oh, Kero," Sakura said as she turned back to her window.

"Well if he is the other cardcaptor then, I should meet him," Kero said as he flew over to the window.

"But what if he isn't," Sakura asked.

"I guess, then we kept on searching," Kero as he looked in the direction that Sakura was looking at.

Far off in the distance stood a young man looking across the sky in search of an answer of a question that burned in his heart. His sight couldn't help but fall on the castle that was in the distance. It stroke him funny how close and yet so far he was from the young woman who's imaged seem to be wedged in his mind. He turned to find a young man with blue hair and blue eyes that stood by his friend Yukito. He smiled and called to him.

"Eriol, cousin, where have you been?" Xiaolong asked his the young man.

"I have been waiting for you," Eriol said as he came closer to give his cousin a hug. Eriol was not really his cousin but he was brought up as one of the Li Clan. Xiaolong and Eriol had been best friends since they were little. Xiaolong was forced to go to the academy and Eriol was forced to stay and be thought how to be a gentleman of the court.

"Yukito has told me of your encounter," Eriol whisper as he let go of Xiaolong.

"I don't understand," Eriol continued," Is she the other cardcaptor?"

Yukito and Xiaolong replied an "I don't know." Xiaolong kept his eyes on the castle in the distance all the time.

"Xiaolong?" Yukito called.

Xiaolong looked back at Yukito and said," I don't understand this feeling I'm receiving. I need to see her again. He eyes they were beautiful Yukito did you not see them?"

"Not as much as you did," Yukito answered. Then he remembered the Prince's eyes and how beautiful they were, and how he seem drawn to them.

"The Prince seemed nice enough," Xiaolong broke his thoughts.

"He did?" Eriol asked.

Xiaolong nodded as Yukito turned away so they could not see him blushing at the mere mention of him. Xiaolong turned to Yukito and noticed his strange reaction but didn't say a thing for fear that he would embarrass him.

"Oh, Xiaolong I have some news for you but I don't if it is bad or good?" Eriol stated.

"Oh, out with it," Xiaolong asked curiously.

"You are to be wed," Eriol said.

Xiaolong went pale and asked," To whom?"

"Do you remember Lady Meilin?" Eriol asked.

"Not really, but I wish that you speak of it no further," Xiaolong pleaded.

"As you wish," Eriol said.

"I can't believe this," Xiaolong sighed.

"Tomorrow's a other day," Yukito stated.

Xiaolong sighed as he walked away to his room tomorrow is another say. But will he be able to live through it. Yukito and Eriol followed him into the castle doors that seem to be his destiny to hide behind.

The sun rose to greet a new morning and to start a new day in our lovers' life.

Sakura and Touya had convinced their father that it would do them go if they rode in to the forest. Touya if anything were to happen he would protect Sakura. The king knew he could not say to them so he let them leave. They rode in the same direction where they have meet the young boy hoping for no reason, well maybe to see if there was anything there that would be gave more information on Prince Xiaolong.

Eriol, Yukito and Xiaolong had decided to do the same thing. Eriol wanted to see the place where his best friend had meet this girl. Yukito and Xiaolong wanted to go so they could see if they could possible see them again. But they doubted they would see them, but little did they know.

"Wait, we are near the border," Xiaolong said.

"As much as I want to see if she is the other cardcaptor, but last time we got away with being there but I don't thing they want us in their kingdom," Xiaolong continued.

Eriol and Yukito nodded as they were about to leave they heard a branch break.

"Who's there?" Eriol asked.

"Who are you?" Yukito asked.

"I don't mean to be rude but who would wish to know?" a familiar voice called as two figures on horseback appeared. As the figures came closer they were surprise to find out it was the Prince Touya and Princess Sakura.
