Love Of A Cherry Blossom

By: Star Princess a.k.a. Starrie



It was a beautiful day outside. For being fall, the weather was not to cold. Sakura sat in the garden drinking tea with Tomoyo, Eriol and Meiling.

"So Sakura, when are we going to meet this guy of yours?"

Eriol asked. (SN: this story will show signs of E+T but not much. remember this is mostly just S+S)

Tomoyo turned to look at him.

"Stop being so impatient"

"I'm just curious!"

He answered back defensively

"And to think I accepted your marriage proposal"

Tomoyo said while rolling her eyes.

At that moment, Sakura and Meiling immediately spat out their tea.

"You did what!?"

Both asked simultaneously.

"I didn't tell you?"

Tomoyo asked innocently.

"NO!!"

Both girls yelled out angrily.

"Well, Eriol proposed to me and I accepted"

Tomoyo said happily.

She then showed her friends the ring on her finger. The girls squealed in delight and hugged Tomoyo. After they calmed down, Meiling started to giggle.

"Can you believe it? Tomoyo's getting married to the reincarnation of clow reed, who would've thought (SN: in my fic he's the whole reincarnation, not half…..happy now sapphie!!!)

Meiling and Sakura both then started to laugh.

"Hey look Sakura, isn't that Syaoran coming?"

Tomoyo asked as she looked behind Sakura.

Sakura immediately got out of her seat and ran up to Syaoran.

"You made it!"

She said as she hugged him.

"Anything to make my sweet cherry blossom happy"

Syaoran said as he gave her a kiss on the lips.

"KAWAII!!"

They heard someone say in pure delight. Syaoran had on a confused expression; this only caused Sakura burst out laughing.

"That's just Tomoyo, don't mind her. Now come on! I want you to meet some really close friends of mines!"

Sakura then took his hand and led him to the table. She took a seat and motioned for Syaoran to sit down on the seat next to her.

"So Syaoran, do you remember me?"

Eriol said after they were done introducing one another.

"No, why should I?"

"Remember the person who always caused trouble around the kingdom and that forced us to turn the Clow cards into Sakura cards?"

"Yeah I remember"

"Well, that's was Eriol!"

Sakura said as she smiled at Syaoran.

"That was you!"

Syaoran said as he glared at Eriol.

"Yeah, but…..it was all for a good cause right?"

Eriol said as he gave a nervous laugh

"Good cause? Good cause!? You almost killed….."

"Syaoran calm down. He had to do that or else the cards would have never been changed."

Sakura said in an attempt to calm Syaoran down.

"Alright…..but only for you"

He answered.

(10 minutes later)

"What's the matter?"

Sakura asked as Syaoran got up from his seat.

"Nothing, I have to go back to work"

"awwww….and just when we were getting to know you better"

Meiling said disappointed.

"Yeah, it's to bad. I hope we can talk again some day soon!"

Tomoyo said as she smiled at Syaoran.

"It was nice meeting you"

Eriol said to Syaoran.

"It was nice talking to all of you, bye."

Syaoran said as he walked away with Sakura.

After they were a few feet away from the group, Syaoran tilted his head forward and gave Sakura a long kiss on the lips. After they separated, Sakura looked up at him and smiled.

"I missed that"

She said as she rested her head on his chest.

"I'm sorry I haven't seen you much lately, I've been very busy"

"I understand"

Sakura said sadly. Syaoran then lifted her face so she could look at him.

"I might not be able to see you again until tomorrow afternoon…..is that ok?"

"Sure no problem!"

Sakura said trying to sound cheerful. Syaoran knew she was disappointed though.

"Tomorrow will come sooner then you think"

He said to her as he gently caressed her cheek.

He then gave her another kiss.

"I'll see you tomorrow"

He said as he gave her one last smile and walked away.

"Don't you look content!"

Meiling teased as Sakura walked back to her group of friends. Sakura just smiled at her.

"So how are things between you and Nicholas?"

Meiling blushed a bit.

"Fine…..you know, my birthday is coming up and if that prince doesn't show up soon, Nicholas is going to ask my dad for my hand in marriage on the day of my birthday!"

"That's great Meiling!"

Sakura said smiling at her.

"You know, my family is also helping out in looking for that prince"

Eriol said.

"What? Your family is into that too!?"

Meiling asked in amusement.

"Of course. After all, that kingdom is related to my kingdom remember?"

"Oh yeah! Your family is the fathers side of Clow Reed and the other Kingdom is the mother's side right?"

"Yeah, that's why the royal family has magic."

"I think I know why my parents want me to marry into the royal family"

Meiling said as she put her tea down.

"Why?"

Sakura asked curiously.

"Well, I found out that the lost prince and I are second cousins. His family wants to keep the magic running only inside the royal family. My parents? They only want me to marry into the royal family because of the deal that was made when I was born. Also, they get bragging rights that their only daughter is married into one of the most powerful kingdoms in the country"

Meiling said as she rolled her eyes.

"Well, Eriol and I have to get going. Bye you two!"

Tomoyo said as she and Eriol got up.

"I have to go too. I have to go with my mother somewhere"

Meiling said standing up.

"You're all leaving me"

Sakura said in a sad voice.

"Don't worry, I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

Tomoyo said as she smiled at her.

"Alright, then I'll see you guys, bye!"

Sakura said as they all headed out of the garden…..

(That afternoon)

"So how are things between you and Syaoran?"

Naomi asked as she helped Sakura get ready for dinner.

"Alright"

Sakura said in a sad voice.

"Is something wrong?"

Naomi asked with worry in her voice.

"It's just that…..I don't get to see him much"

Sakura said as she looked at the ground. Naomi looked at Sakura and smiled at her.

"No one said that this relationship would be easy. You'll just have to be patient my dear"

"Patient for what?"

Sakura asked as she stood up from her vanity.

"Sakura, what are you going to do about your future? You have to think about that too my child. You know the law will never allow you to be with Syaoran"

"I hate those laws! You know what Nana, if the law says I can't marry Syaoran, then…..I'll run away! I'll run away from this stupid place and go somewhere where they'll allow us to be together"

"You can't always run away from your problems Sakura"

"I know but….."

Sakura then took a seat next to Naomi and leaned her head against her shoulder.

"Syaoran's my life Nana. I don't know what I would do without him. I compare life with before I knew him and now, and guess what? My life now is so much happier then ever before"

Naomi hugged Sakura.

"I can see you two love each other very much…..do what you think is right my child. I'll respect the decision you make"

Naomi then got up

"Lets go, your father and brother are expecting us at the dinner table.

"Don't forget to bring me back some pudding!"

(SN: that came out of no where didn't it -_-;; sorry, I haven't added him in for some times that's why)

Naomi and Sakura laughed as they excited the room.

"We wont!"

Sakura said as she closed the door behind her…..

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

(During dinner)

"So Sakura, what was that servant boy doing coming out of your room so late last night?"

Touya asked his sister suspiciously. Fujitaka stopped eating and turned to look at his children.

"What servant boy?"

He asked confused.

"The newest one to the castle…..I think his name is Syaoran? Anyway, I saw him leaving Sakura's room late last night"

He then turned to look at his sister again.

"Mind telling me why?"

"I sent him!"

Naomi spoke up. Now all three heads turned to look at her.

"I sent him because…..Sakura had asked for a glass of water and I was busy helping out one of the maids. So when he said he was heading towards the servants headquarters, I gave him the water and told him to drop it off at her room since it was on his way."

Touya didn't look that easily convinced but Fujitaka just smiled.

"Oh, ok"

He said and then went back to eating his dinner. Touya looked at Naomi and Sakura both suspiciously before he turned back to his dinner. Sakura looked at Naomi and mouthed out the words 'thank you.' Naomi just smiled at her…..

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

(Later that evening)

Touya stood outside the castle walls waiting. Prince Allen had told him that he had some very important news to tell him, Important news that had to do with his sister. He then saw a black-haired man approaching him on a horse and immediately knew who it was. The man stopped in front of him.

"Hello Prince Touya"

"Hello Allen. Now, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about my sister?"

Prince Allen then got off his horse and stood besides Touya.

"What I'm about to tell you might surprise you, and at first you might not believe me but, I swear I'm telling you the truth."

"What is it?"

Touya asked impatiently.

"Well you see, you sister has been…..seeing this peasant"

"What!"

Touya said in surprise.

"Let me finish…..so, she's being seeing this peasant for some time now"

"And how do you know all this?"

Touya asked as he eyed him suspiciously.

"Because I've seen him with her."

"And you expect me to believe you that my sister is dumb enough to fall for some peasant?"

"Well, she has. And the reason I'm telling you this is because I care about your sister. That worthless piece of junk only wants to use her. After all, she is the princess. She has access to all the riches of the castle and next to your father and you, she's the most respected in this kingdom. What more can a peasant want other to gain nobility?"

"I don't believe you"

Touya said as he gave Allen a cold stare. Allen just stared back with his icy blue eyes.

"You might not believe this but, I love your sister. I only want what's best for her. If she marries me, she'll live a happy life. Isn't that what you want for you want for her?"

"What? To give her up to a dumbass like you? I think not!"

"She'll live a miserable life with that peasant. On the contrary, if she marries me, she'll live a wonderful married life"

"Wait a minute, you talk as if what you say is true, how do I know you're not lying?"

"Fine, why don't I make a deal with you?"

"What is it?"

Touya asked coldly.

"If I can prove to you that what I say is true, you'll throw that peasant into prison and kill him…..and you'll allow me to marry your sister"

Touya immediately turned to look at Allen.

"The first part I'll do with pleasure…..nobody uses my sister and gets away with it. but the second part of your deal…..how do I know you don't want her just because she's the princess of this kingdom?"

Prince Allen let out a smirk.

"I have my own kingdom which I'll be named king of in a couple of years…..what else could I want rather then a wife to love?"

Touya stood there thinking for a while.

"Fine then, you have a deal…..but if you turn out to be wrong…..You'll leave my sister alone and you won't pursue her any longer"

"Agreed"

Prince Allen said as he shook hands with Touya…..

(SN: you all should have guessed by now who the evil pplz are…..I didn't make it so obvious for nothin' ya know!)

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

(Later that night)

"So Touya, you will be in charge of the kingdom until I come back alright?"

Fujitaka said to his son.

"So where are you going daddy?"

Sakura asked curiously

"I have to go to the Clemens Kingdom"(SN: hehehe…..I'm eating clementine oranges right now, that's how I came up with the name ^_^)

"But that kingdom is not that far away…..why won't you be back by the end of the day?"

(SN: hehehe…that rhymed ^^ sorry, too much caffeine -_-;)

Touya asked.

"Because the business I have to conduct there might take a couple of days"

"Oh"

Touya and Sakura answered.

"Well, have a good trip daddy!"

Sakura said cheerfully as she hugged her father.

"Take care alright?"

Fujitaka said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Sakura then left the room.

"Watch over your sister Touya"

Fujitaka said as he gave his son a hug.

"I will dad. I won't let anyone harm her"

Touya then turned to leave the study.

'That's right, I won't let anyone harm her. That goes the same for prince Allen and that peasant, whoever he may be'

Touya assured himself mentally as he headed towards his room…..

~*To Be Continued*~



SN: I know, I know, not much action happened in this chapter…..sorry! it's just that I had to cut it short cuz if I added more, it would've been to damn long of a chapter. Anywayz, as you can see, TOUYA'S NOT BAD!!! He's just protected of his sister and wants nothing bad to happen to her (typical brother…..I should know, my brother is so much like Touya that it's scary at times) as you can see, Allen is the 'bad influence' here. Oh well, next chapter…..the part that all of you have been waiting for! Until next time, bye! And please don't forget to review! Thanx again!!
