"Love of a Cherry Blossom"

BY: Star Princess a.k.a. Starrie

Chapter 6

It was midnight while Sakura walked quietly through the long corridors of the castle. She quickly slipped out into the garden. She then climbed the cherry blossom tree and was about to jump to the other side when she heard voices under her. Sakura froze in place while the guards passed under her.

"Did you hear something?"

one guard asked suspiciously to his partner.

"No"

he then stopped walking and heard some movement in the trees

"Wait a minute, I think there's something in the tree….."

Suddenly, both of the guards fell to the ground asleep…..

Sakura then jumped out of the tree and ran a few feet away. When she was out of their view, she stopped and called back the sleep card. She then turned around and continued on her way to the market square…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran paced restlessly around his room. He had a bad feeling, as if something was going to happen.

'I wonder if Sakura's alright'

He then closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on her aura. His eyes then snapped open in alert.

He couldn't sense Sakura's aura inside the castle. He closed his eyes again and concentrated. He realized she was somewhere outside the castle walls.

'What is she doing out of the palace at this hour!?"

He immediately got up from his seat and headed towards the door…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura now stood at the Market Square. The place was deserted and a strong wind was howling. She shivered from the coldness.

'Where could she be?'

then out of nowhere, Sakura saw a figure approaching her.

"well, well, well, I guess the little princess decided to come after all?"

Evelyn said tauntingly as she approached Sakura.

"How did you know that….."

"You're the princess of this kingdom? I've got my ways. Now, we didn't come to talk about that, we came to talk about Syaoran"

"There's nothing I need to talk to you about. I just came to tell you to fuck off and leave him alone" (SN: can you imagine a princess tellin' someone to fuck off? Hehehehe…..that's so un-princess like! And it's also so…..me! ^^)

"Manners princess, isn't that something you _should_ have?"

"Yeah well, I seem to be talking to someone who doesn't seem to have them either"

"So…..I guess Syaoran's past with me doesn't interest you either?"

"What are you talking about? Syaoran told me he never had anything to do with you"

"That's a lie…..Syaoran was my fiancée. At least until…..until….."

A sad look crossed Evelyns' face, as if she was remembering a painful past.

"Well, I got pregnant with Syaoran's child, and at first he was really happy about becoming a father. But then….."

Her eyes then started to water, as if she was holding back tears.

"I-I-I started to hear rumors that he was cheating on me with this girl. At first I didn't want to believe because he was son nice and sweet to me. Then one day, I-I saw them"

Evelyn was now trying really hard to control her tears. Her voice was barely audible, for she was trying to hold back her sobs.

"H-h-he then left me for her, and I was left to take care of my baby all on my own."

Evelyn then started to sniffle.

"My baby then got really sick and…..and….."

Evelyn then burst out into uncontrollable tears

"He ended up dying…..My baby died at only 2 months"

Sakura felt really sorry for Evelyn at that moment. She started to walk towards her as to comfort her when automatically, she stopped in her tracks.

"Liar"

Sakura whispered in a low voice.

"You're lying to me!"

Sakura said now louder and with anger in her voice. She couldn't believe she had almost bought her crap.

Evelyn stood with a shocked expression on her face.

"Why would I lie about something so serious like that!"

"Because you want to see Syaoran and I apart"

The truth was, Sakura had used a spell to figure out if what Evelyn had said was true. Turns out, it wasn't.

"If that's all you have to say Evelyn, I suggest you leave and stop bothering Syaoran"

Evelyn looked at Sakura with anger in her eyes.

"You think you might've won…..but you haven't just yet"

With that said, she stormed away and rounded the corner of the street. She then stopped and turned to look left and right to make sure nobody was around.

'Fuck what he said, I'm doing things my way now'

She thought as she climbed up to the roof of a house…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura was walking back to the castle when she suddenly got a weird feeling. It seemed as if someone was following her, watching her every move. She quickly turned around, but found no one there. She looked left and right…..nothing. She was now really frightened and started to run towards the castle (SN: kinda like those movies when a girl is in the dark alley and she's walking…..then running…...then faster…..faster…...and the…..aww! you pplz know what happens!!!)

Out of no where, a black figure comes from the air and falls on top of her. Sakura panicked and tried to get up. it was no use though because the person grabbed her by the wrist and threw her up against the wall. It then gave out a sinister laugh.

"Not so confident now are we?"

Sakura realized the person was a female by its voice. Her face was covered behind a black mask.

"W-w-what do you want…..money?"

the person laughed again.

"Money is the least of my problems!"

she then moved closer to Sakura.

"What I want is…..to see you dead"

she then raised her hand over her head. Sakura saw the glimmer of metallic and immediately knew it was a knife.

Just when the woman was bringing the knife down, Syaoran appeared out of nowhere and pushed her to the ground

"Sakura, are you alright?"

Sakura opened her eyes once she realized who was talking to her. She immediately collapsed into his arms. She started to cry uncontrollably.

"Shhh…..it's ok, I'm with you now"

Syaoran said to her as he held her in a tight hug.

"You two make me sick"

The woman said as she got off the floor. Syaoran immediately let go of Sakura and stayed in front of her, as to protect her from harms way. The woman let out a smirk.

"Would you look at this? A knight in shining armor, protecting his beloved princess…..how sickening!"

she then thrust her hand forward and ropes came flying out of everywhere and tied Syaoran up.

"Syaoran!"

Sakura yelled out as she knelt down on the ground besides him.

"Now…..to finish you off"

The woman said as she grabbed Sakura bye her hair and lifted her off the ground.

(SN: youch! That must really hurt!! I know the day some bitch does that to me…..lets just say she better have her funeral planned out cuz no one messes with my hair! I almost punched the living crap outta a guy cuz he threw a spitball at my hair. Only reason I didn't wuz cuz it wuz an accident and he said sorry also cuz he's my friend and I knew he wuz aiming at the person sitting next to me)

Sakura yelled in agony as she was dragged a few feet away from Syaoran. Again, she saw the metallic luster of the knife in the womans' hand.

She then gave out a smirk.

"Good-bye princess, now you can join your mother in that castle up in the skies"

the woman started to bring the knife down when a voice rang through her head…..

'What the hell do you think you're doing!?'

'Master I…..'

'Get over here, NOW!"

'but master I….."

"I SAID NOW!!"

the woman gave Sakura a cold glare and let go of her.

"You got lucky this time"

She said in an icy-tone. A black portal then appeared before her, she entered it and it closed right behind her.

Sakura stood there rooted to the ground trying to sort out all the event's that just occurred. She then remembered Syaoran and was immediately brought back to reality.

She went running up to him and untied him.

As soon as he was untied, Syaoran embraced her tightly.

"Why did you go out of the castle for Sakura"

Syaoran asked worriedly as he held close to him. Tonight, he had come close to almost loosing his one true love and that scared him.

(SN:awww…...I thought that wuz so sweet *sniff* *sniff* sorry, I'm such a sap ^^)

"I…..I….."

Sakura didn't know what to say. She knew that if she told Syaoran her reason for coming out here, he would get angry with her. The last thing she wanted at the moment was to have a fight with him. Syaoran realized Sakura didn't really want to talk about it.

"It's ok, you don't have to tell me"

he then separated enough to look her in the eyes.

"Just don't do it again, please? Promise me?"

Sakura nodded.

"I promise"

"Good"

Syaoran said softly as he gave her a kiss on the forehead. He then took her hands into his and headed back towards the palace…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Somewhere, where I don't even know where…..Yet -_-;;)

"You deliberately disobeyed my orders!"

"Yes I know that, I'm….."

"No, you don't know! If you did, you wouldn't have done such stupidity! I told you to separate them, not go and try to kill her!"

"I'm sorry master"

"Don't you ever disobey me again you hear!? You almost killed the key to our success"

The woman let out a frustrated sigh.

"Ok so you don't want me to hurt her, so how the hell are you going to get what you want?"

An evil smile formed on the mans lip.

"I have a plan"

"Oh really, and what is it?"

The man gave out an evil chuckle. He got up from his throne

(SN: my evil characters alwayz have thrones don't they? Sorry, me obsessed with them ^^;;)

and walked around in circles around the girl in black.

"Pretend you're a prince of one of the most powerful kingdoms in the country"

"Mm-hmm"

The girl said as she eyed him challenging.

"Now, say you find out that your sister, you little sister, the princess, is seeing some peasant! What would you do?"

"Kill him"

The woman answered bored out of her mind as she examined her nails under the candle-lit area.

"Exactly, and…..?"

"and…..."

the women stood there thinking. Then a smile formed across her face once she realized what would happen.

"This is going to be easier then I thought it'd be"

"That's right, and we don't even have to worry about the killing…..someone else is going to do it for us!"

They both then let out a laugh and started to brainstorm their new plan…..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Did you sense it?"

Syaoran asked Sakura as they entered her room.

"Sense what?"

She asked confused.

"That woman, the one that attacked you, she had magical abilities"

Syaoran then looked at Sakura with worry shining in his amber eyes.

"Please be careful. Whatever she might want, it's obvious that you have it and she knows it"

Sakura smiled at him.

"I will"

She then leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Good-night"

She whispered sweetly as they separated.

"Good-night"

Syaoran said as he gave her on last hug. He then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. He walked back to his room, but all the time he was deep in his thoughts.

'What could they want?'

He thought angrily as he walked down the halls.

Little did he know that he was being watched, watched by a highly suspicious brother, a brother who was very over-protected of his little sister…..
