Chapter 8
"So Tomoyo, how do I look?"
Sakura asked as she twirled around.
"Absolutely magnificent!"
Tomoyo exclaimed as she viewed her latest design on Sakura. the dress was quite simple compared to Tomoyo's other designs. It was a light pink dress that came down to Sakura's ankles. The sleeves were bell shaped (SN: I dunno know how ya call it but ya know, the ones that open up and get bigger as you go down the arm…..length…..thingy?? ok, me making no sense at all here what so ever!!! Lets just say they look like those medieval dresses!! There!)
"Tomoyo, you did a good Job"
Kero said as he sat on Sakura's small table and happily munched on a batch of freshly baked cookies that Tomoyo had brought.
"He's right, the dress is beautiful!"
"I was talking about the cookies!"
Tomoyo laughed.
"I'm glad you two liked your presents"
Tomoyo then took a seat on the bed besides Sakura
"So are you going to go see Syaoran today?"
"Yes, in a little while"
"I can't believe you fell for that brat!"
Kero said in-between bites. (SN: hehehe…..my hand almost wrote 'in-between bitches' heheheh…..Imagine kero in between bitches *rolls on the floor laughing* sorry…..me go back to story now -_-;;)
Sakura rolled her eyes. She knew where this discussion was heading.
"Kero, the past is the past. So what if once he had tried to take the cards away from me and called me pathetic. He ended up helping me in the end didn't he?"
"Still"
Kero mumbled under his breath as he continued to eat his cookie, sulking. Tomoyo let out a laugh.
"The only reason Kero doesn't like Syaoran is because Syaoran always called him stuffed animal"
Sakura too started to laugh with Tomoyo.
"Hey! Not funny!"
Kero shouted. He then gave a sly grin.
"Hey Sakura, Aren't ya going to be late for your meeting with that brat?"
Sakura stopped laughing once she realized that Kero was right.
"Oh no, I gotta get going! Bye Tomoyo, Bye Kero!"
She said as she quickly made her way out of her room. Tomoyo let out a giggle as Sakura exited the room.
"That's Sakura…..she'll never change."
She then stood up and headed for the door.
"I gotta go. Bye Kero!"
Tomoyo called out as she closed the door.
"Bye!"
Kero called out as he continued to munch on his cookies…..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura walked out into the garden and searched for Syaoran. She finally spotted the amber-eyed youth leaning against the big Sakura tree. She smiled and headed to where he was. Little did she know that someone was watching her every move from a nearby bush…..
"You're on time!"
Syaoran said surprised as Sakura stopped in front of him. Sakura just hugged him in response. She let out a giggle.
"I missed you so much!"
She said as she looked up into his deep amber eyes. She could stay staring at them forever.
"I missed you too. I did nothing but think of you all this time"
He said as they separated from the hug. He then tilted his head forward and gave her a kiss on the lips…..
"Guards, grab him now!"
The heard someone yell out. Sakura and Syaoran immediately separated. Sakura looked to her left and saw Touya heading towards them; he had a visage of pure anger and what seemed like hatred.
"Hey what the—let go!"
Sakura heard Syaoran yell out. She turned back to him and saw that two guards where holding his hand back, as if he had committed a crime.
"Let go of him!"
Sakura ordered angrily.
"They're following my orders, not yours"
She heard her brother say once he stopped in front of her and Syaoran.
"Touya, what the hell is the meaning of all this!?"
Sakura said as her anger was now diverted towards her brother.
"I don't know, you tell me! you're the one disobeying the law!"
"Like I give crap about the law!"
Sakura yelled out enraged.
"Why are you defending him so much!? He doesn't even love you! he's just using you because you're the daughter of the king!"
"That's not true! I love Sak….."
"Guards, Take him away!"
Touya said angrily, not even giving Syaoran a chance to speak.
"Where should we put him prince Touya?"
one of the guards asked. Touya looked at Syaoran through narrowed eyes.
"Take him to the castle's dungeon…..Execution will be this afternoon as the sun goes down"
Sakura eyes widened in terror.
"No…..Touya, you can't do that!"
"Father's not here, so what I say goes alright!?"
Sakura then turned as if to run towards Syaoran. She immediately felt two pairs of strong arms getting hold of her wrist and pulled her back.
"Let go of me!"
She screamed out as tears of anger streamed down her face.
(SN: KICK THE DAMN GUARDS IN THE BALLS!!! THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!!! *ahem* sorry….but that's what I would've done…..)
the guards that where holding Syaoran turned him around and pushed him away from the garden, and away from Sakura.
"Touya, how could you do this to me!?"
Sakura yelled in-between tears. Touya turned his head to the side. He hated to see his sister cry.
"You'll thank me later on, I'm doing the right thing…..as soon as dad comes back from the Clemens Kingdom, (SN: hooray for oranges!!! ^^ kay, forget I said that….) you're getting married to prince Allen."
After having that said, Touya walked away. The guards that were holding Sakura then took her to her room and locked her in there.
Sakura collapsed on her bed crying. Kero immediately heard her and came out from his drawer.
"What happened?"
he asked alerted as he saw his card mistress cry. Sakura then proceeded to tell him about what had happened at the garden…..
(Few minutes later)
"And n-n-now they're going to kill him at sundown…..Kero, I don't know what to do! This is all my fault!"
They then heard the door open. Naomi walked in with a sad look on her face. She immediately rushed to Sakura's side and hugged her. Sakura began to cry into Naomi's arms.
"Nana, it's all my fault. Syaoran's going to die because of me!"
Naomi held Sakura close. She too didn't know what to do or where they had taken Syaoran. Only the King and the heir of the kingdom knew the location of the dungeon for safety reasons.
"Touya's now forcing me to marry Prince Allen when father comes back"
Sakura said in-between sobs.
"Is there anyway sakura can leave this room to go look for Syaoran?"
Kero asked as he eyed his mistress worriedly. Naomi shook her head.
"No, guards are all over the castle. There's no way we can pass through them unnoticed."
Sakura couldn't stop crying. She felt helpless that she couldn't do nothing for the one she truly loved…..
(Time skip…..almost to sundown)
Sakura sat on top of her bed staring at the wall. Her face was emotionless. Her hair was a disheveled mess and her eyes were red and puffy from so much crying. Her once neat dress was now covered with creases. Sakura felt dead. She heard her door open but didn't even bother to look up to see who it was.
"Sakura?"
Naomi said in a soft voice as she entered the room.
"Your father had just come back from the Clemens kingdom. He brought some company with him and wishes for you to come down and meet them"
"No thanks Nana, tell him I'm not in the mood and….."
Suddenly, Sakura got an idea.
"Nana, dad has more power then Touya does over the castle. If I can convince him to not kill Syaoran, dad might be able to stop Touya!"
Sakura immediately got off her bed and ran to see her father…..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What a coincidence in running into you outside the castle walls"
Fujitaka said to his guests as he led them into the large livingroom of the castle.
The last time I saw you fuutie, you were 7 years old. Now you've become a beautiful young lady"
Fujitaka said as he smiled at the younger of the two females.
"Thank you for your kind words King Fujitaka"
Fuutie said as she gave a polite curtsy. (SN: I think that's how you say it *confused look* you know, it's that thing in which a girl bows by holding the ends of her dress and blah blah blah…..)
"So how have you been Fujitaka? I haven't seen you in 15 years"
"I'm Fine. After Nadeshiko passed away, I was able to take care of my children with help from Naomi"
"I'm glad to hear that. Nadeshiko was a dear friend of mines. I'm glad her kids are happy. I'm sorry if I've been distant, but after what happened to both my husband and my only son, I isolated myself from all the other kingdoms"
Fujitaka gave her a reassuring smile. It was shortly after Queen Nadeshiko's death that Queen Yelan had lost her husband to the attack on the Li Kingdom and the same people that had attacked the kingdom, had kidnapped her only 3 year old son (SN: I'm changing it so that the prince was kidnapped at 3 instead of 2. Although most of you probably already know who he is.)
"It's ok, all the kingdoms in the country understood the pain you were going through."
Yelan gave a sad sigh.
"Yes, it was hard for my daughters and I to loose two loved ones at the same time. But I came to talk to you about my son. You see, I believe….."
"Father!"
Sakura shouted out breathlessly as she ran into the sunroom. Fujitaka smiled at his daughter.
"Sakura, I would like you to meet Queen Yelan Li and her daughter, Princess Fuutie"
Sakura turned to the guests and gave a polite curtsy. (SN: there goes that word again -_-;)
"Nice to meet you"
Yelan gasped.
"Wow, you've grown up to become such a beautiful young lady like your mother. The last time I saw you Sakura, you were three years old.
(SN: this means the last time she saw her was at Nadeshiko's funeral, cuz then the attack on the Li Kingdom occurred shortly after that)
"You were so kawaii back then, and you still are!"
Fuutie added while smiling. Sakura just blushed at the compliment. She then remembered what she was here for and turned back to look at her father.
"Father, I have to tell you something important. It had to do with….."
"Sakura, honey, can't it wait? We have guests over as you can see"
"Yes I know, but….."
"Sakura please, lets not be rude to our guests"
Fujitaka said in a serious tone. Sakura could now do nothing but take a seat and talk with her father and the guests. She gave a nervous glance outside the window and realized she still had sometime before sundown. She let out a sigh of relief. If they hurried up with the guests, she still had time to save Syaoran. Yelan then turned to look at Fujitaka
"Fujitaka, there's a reason behind my visit"
"Yes, what is it Yelan?"
"My daughters and I are going through ever kingdom in the country, in hopes of finding my son alive"
Fujitaka looked confused.
"But wasn't he killed along with King Chen (SN: I know, crappy name. Took it out of a book my bro is reading…..don't make fun of me! *pout*) on the day those mysterious peoples attacked your kingdom?"
Yelan looked at the ground sadly.
"We found my husbands dead body…..but we never found no trace of my son. That leads me to believe that he's still alive"
'so Queen Yelan is the mother of that prince that Meilin and Tomoyo were talking about!'
Sakura thought to herself. It broke her heart to see Yelan so sad.
"Describe him to us! Maybe we can help you"
Sakura said with a determined look on her face. A smile appeared on Yelan's face upon hearing these words.
"well, right now he should be your age Sakura. he has chestnut-colored hair like mines. His eyes area a chocolate-brown color, kind of likes fuutie's"
"And don't forget, he LOVES chocolates!"
Fuutie added while giggling.
"At least he did when he was a baby. He would always steal my chocolates from my hand"
Fuutie added after she stopped laughing.
"He was born with the strongest magic abilities in the Li Family"
fujitaka chuckled
"Nothing less from a direct desendent of clow reed"
Sakura gasped
"Father, y-y-you know about clow reed?"
Fujitaka smiled at his daughter.
"Yes, I know about him and the clow cards"
"My son might also have some sort of pendant around his neck. The pendant turns into a sword…..it used to belong to my husband but as he was dying, he put it around our son's neck so we were able to distinguish him from everyone else if something like this ever occurred. Nobody but the true owner of the pendant can use the sword."
Fujitaka shook his head sadly.
"I'm sorry Yelan, Fuutie. But there's no one in this kingdom who fits your description"
suddenly, Sakura stood up with a panicky look on her face.
"What's the name of your son Queen Yelan?"
Yelan look at Sakura
"Syaoran Li, his name is Syaoran Li"

Chapter 8
"So Tomoyo, how do I look?"
Sakura asked as she twirled around.
"Absolutely magnificent!"
Tomoyo exclaimed as she viewed her latest design on Sakura. the dress was quite simple compared to Tomoyo's other designs. It was a light pink dress that came down to Sakura's ankles. The sleeves were bell shaped (SN: I dunno know how ya call it but ya know, the ones that open up and get bigger as you go down the arm…..length…..thingy?? ok, me making no sense at all here what so ever!!! Lets just say they look like those medieval dresses!! There!)
"Tomoyo, you did a good Job"
Kero said as he sat on Sakura's small table and happily munched on a batch of freshly baked cookies that Tomoyo had brought.
"He's right, the dress is beautiful!"
"I was talking about the cookies!"
Tomoyo laughed.
"I'm glad you two liked your presents"
Tomoyo then took a seat on the bed besides Sakura
"So are you going to go see Syaoran today?"
"Yes, in a little while"
"I can't believe you fell for that brat!"
Kero said in-between bites. (SN: hehehe…..my hand almost wrote 'in-between bitches' heheheh…..Imagine kero in between bitches *rolls on the floor laughing* sorry…..me go back to story now -_-;;)
Sakura rolled her eyes. She knew where this discussion was heading.
"Kero, the past is the past. So what if once he had tried to take the cards away from me and called me pathetic. He ended up helping me in the end didn't he?"
"Still"
Kero mumbled under his breath as he continued to eat his cookie, sulking. Tomoyo let out a laugh.
"The only reason Kero doesn't like Syaoran is because Syaoran always called him stuffed animal"
Sakura too started to laugh with Tomoyo.
"Hey! Not funny!"
Kero shouted. He then gave a sly grin.
"Hey Sakura, Aren't ya going to be late for your meeting with that brat?"
Sakura stopped laughing once she realized that Kero was right.
"Oh no, I gotta get going! Bye Tomoyo, Bye Kero!"
She said as she quickly made her way out of her room. Tomoyo let out a giggle as Sakura exited the room.
"That's Sakura…..she'll never change."
She then stood up and headed for the door.
"I gotta go. Bye Kero!"
Tomoyo called out as she closed the door.
"Bye!"
Kero called out as he continued to munch on his cookies…..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura walked out into the garden and searched for Syaoran. She finally spotted the amber-eyed youth leaning against the big Sakura tree. She smiled and headed to where he was. Little did she know that someone was watching her every move from a nearby bush…..
"You're on time!"
Syaoran said surprised as Sakura stopped in front of him. Sakura just hugged him in response. She let out a giggle.
"I missed you so much!"
She said as she looked up into his deep amber eyes. She could stay staring at them forever.
"I missed you too. I did nothing but think of you all this time"
He said as they separated from the hug. He then tilted his head forward and gave her a kiss on the lips…..
"Guards, grab him now!"
The heard someone yell out. Sakura and Syaoran immediately separated. Sakura looked to her left and saw Touya heading towards them; he had a visage of pure anger and what seemed like hatred.
"Hey what the—let go!"
Sakura heard Syaoran yell out. She turned back to him and saw that two guards where holding his hand back, as if he had committed a crime.
"Let go of him!"
Sakura ordered angrily.
"They're following my orders, not yours"
She heard her brother say once he stopped in front of her and Syaoran.
"Touya, what the hell is the meaning of all this!?"
Sakura said as her anger was now diverted towards her brother.
"I don't know, you tell me! you're the one disobeying the law!"
"Like I give crap about the law!"
Sakura yelled out enraged.
"Why are you defending him so much!? He doesn't even love you! he's just using you because you're the daughter of the king!"
"That's not true! I love Sak….."
"Guards, Take him away!"
Touya said angrily, not even giving Syaoran a chance to speak.
"Where should we put him prince Touya?"
one of the guards asked. Touya looked at Syaoran through narrowed eyes.
"Take him to the castle's dungeon…..Execution will be this afternoon as the sun goes down"
Sakura eyes widened in terror.
"No…..Touya, you can't do that!"
"Father's not here, so what I say goes alright!?"
Sakura then turned as if to run towards Syaoran. She immediately felt two pairs of strong arms getting hold of her wrist and pulled her back.
"Let go of me!"
She screamed out as tears of anger streamed down her face.
(SN: KICK THE DAMN GUARDS IN THE BALLS!!! THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!!! *ahem* sorry….but that's what I would've done…..)
the guards that where holding Syaoran turned him around and pushed him away from the garden, and away from Sakura.
"Touya, how could you do this to me!?"
Sakura yelled in-between tears. Touya turned his head to the side. He hated to see his sister cry.
"You'll thank me later on, I'm doing the right thing…..as soon as dad comes back from the Clemens Kingdom, (SN: hooray for oranges!!! ^^ kay, forget I said that….) you're getting married to prince Allen."
After having that said, Touya walked away. The guards that were holding Sakura then took her to her room and locked her in there.
Sakura collapsed on her bed crying. Kero immediately heard her and came out from his drawer.
"What happened?"
he asked alerted as he saw his card mistress cry. Sakura then proceeded to tell him about what had happened at the garden…..
(Few minutes later)
"And n-n-now they're going to kill him at sundown…..Kero, I don't know what to do! This is all my fault!"
They then heard the door open. Naomi walked in with a sad look on her face. She immediately rushed to Sakura's side and hugged her. Sakura began to cry into Naomi's arms.
"Nana, it's all my fault. Syaoran's going to die because of me!"
Naomi held Sakura close. She too didn't know what to do or where they had taken Syaoran. Only the King and the heir of the kingdom knew the location of the dungeon for safety reasons.
"Touya's now forcing me to marry Prince Allen when father comes back"
Sakura said in-between sobs.
"Is there anyway sakura can leave this room to go look for Syaoran?"
Kero asked as he eyed his mistress worriedly. Naomi shook her head.
"No, guards are all over the castle. There's no way we can pass through them unnoticed."
Sakura couldn't stop crying. She felt helpless that she couldn't do nothing for the one she truly loved…..
(Time skip…..almost to sundown)
Sakura sat on top of her bed staring at the wall. Her face was emotionless. Her hair was a disheveled mess and her eyes were red and puffy from so much crying. Her once neat dress was now covered with creases. Sakura felt dead. She heard her door open but didn't even bother to look up to see who it was.
"Sakura?"
Naomi said in a soft voice as she entered the room.
"Your father had just come back from the Clemens kingdom. He brought some company with him and wishes for you to come down and meet them"
"No thanks Nana, tell him I'm not in the mood and….."
Suddenly, Sakura got an idea.
"Nana, dad has more power then Touya does over the castle. If I can convince him to not kill Syaoran, dad might be able to stop Touya!"
Sakura immediately got off her bed and ran to see her father…..

"What a coincidence in running into you outside the castle walls"
Fujitaka said to his guests as he led them into the large livingroom of the castle.
The last time I saw you fuutie, you were 7 years old. Now you've become a beautiful young lady"
Fujitaka said as he smiled at the younger of the two females.
"Thank you for your kind words King Fujitaka"
Fuutie said as she gave a polite curtsy. (SN: I think that's how you say it *confused look* you know, it's that thing in which a girl bows by holding the ends of her dress and blah blah blah…..)
"So how have you been Fujitaka? I haven't seen you in 15 years"
"I'm Fine. After Nadeshiko passed away, I was able to take care of my children with help from Naomi"
"I'm glad to hear that. Nadeshiko was a dear friend of mines. I'm glad her kids are happy. I'm sorry if I've been distant, but after what happened to both my husband and my only son, I isolated myself from all the other kingdoms"
Fujitaka gave her a reassuring smile. It was shortly after Queen Nadeshiko's death that Queen Yelan had lost her husband to the attack on the Li Kingdom and the same people that had attacked the kingdom, had kidnapped her only 3 year old son (SN: I'm changing it so that the prince was kidnapped at 3 instead of 2. Although most of you probably already know who he is.)
"It's ok, all the kingdoms in the country understood the pain you were going through."
Yelan gave a sad sigh.
"Yes, it was hard for my daughters and I to loose two loved ones at the same time. But I came to talk to you about my son. You see, I believe….."
"Father!"
Sakura shouted out breathlessly as she ran into the sunroom. Fujitaka smiled at his daughter.
"Sakura, I would like you to meet Queen Yelan Li and her daughter, Princess Fuutie"
Sakura turned to the guests and gave a polite curtsy. (SN: there goes that word again -_-;)
"Nice to meet you"
Yelan gasped.
"Wow, you've grown up to become such a beautiful young lady like your mother. The last time I saw you Sakura, you were three years old.
(SN: this means the last time she saw her was at Nadeshiko's funeral, cuz then the attack on the Li Kingdom occurred shortly after that)
"You were so kawaii back then, and you still are!"
Fuutie added while smiling. Sakura just blushed at the compliment. She then remembered what she was here for and turned back to look at her father.
"Father, I have to tell you something important. It had to do with….."
"Sakura, honey, can't it wait? We have guests over as you can see"
"Yes I know, but….."
"Sakura please, lets not be rude to our guests"
Fujitaka said in a serious tone. Sakura could now do nothing but take a seat and talk with her father and the guests. She gave a nervous glance outside the window and realized she still had sometime before sundown. She let out a sigh of relief. If they hurried up with the guests, she still had time to save Syaoran. Yelan then turned to look at Fujitaka
"Fujitaka, there's a reason behind my visit"
"Yes, what is it Yelan?"
"My daughters and I are going through ever kingdom in the country, in hopes of finding my son alive"
Fujitaka looked confused.
"But wasn't he killed along with King Chen (SN: I know, crappy name. Took it out of a book my bro is reading…..don't make fun of me! *pout*) on the day those mysterious peoples attacked your kingdom?"
Yelan looked at the ground sadly.
"We found my husbands dead body…..but we never found no trace of my son. That leads me to believe that he's still alive"
'so Queen Yelan is the mother of that prince that Meilin and Tomoyo were talking about!'
Sakura thought to herself. It broke her heart to see Yelan so sad.
"Describe him to us! Maybe we can help you"
Sakura said with a determined look on her face. A smile appeared on Yelan's face upon hearing these words.
"well, right now he should be your age Sakura. he has chestnut-colored hair like mines. His eyes area a chocolate-brown color, kind of likes fuutie's"
"And don't forget, he LOVES chocolates!"
Fuutie added while giggling.
"At least he did when he was a baby. He would always steal my chocolates from my hand"
Fuutie added after she stopped laughing.
"He was born with the strongest magic abilities in the Li Family"
fujitaka chuckled
"Nothing less from a direct desendent of clow reed"
Sakura gasped
"Father, y-y-you know about clow reed?"
Fujitaka smiled at his daughter.
"Yes, I know about him and the clow cards"
"My son might also have some sort of pendant around his neck. The pendant turns into a sword…..it used to belong to my husband but as he was dying, he put it around our son's neck so we were able to distinguish him from everyone else if something like this ever occurred. Nobody but the true owner of the pendant can use the sword."
Fujitaka shook his head sadly.
"I'm sorry Yelan, Fuutie. But there's no one in this kingdom who fits your description"
suddenly, Sakura stood up with a panicky look on her face.
"What's the name of your son Queen Yelan?"
Yelan look at Sakura
"Syaoran Li, his name is Syaoran Li"
