Love of a Cherry Blossom
By: Starrie
Evil Starrie: HEY!!! Don't forget me!!!! Without my half, you would've never thought up of Evelyn AND Allen!!!
Starrie: ugh….fine, fine…lemme do that again….

Love of a Cherry Blossom
By: Starrie & Evil Starrie

Starrie: happy my evil twin!!!! *glare*
Evil Starrie: *smug smile*

"I-I-I'm really sorry. That kiss between Allen and I was an accident"

"Sure it was"

Syaoran said coldly as he kept a serious expression on his face and looked to his left. He then gave a sigh and turned to look at Sakura.

"If that's all you wanted to say, you can leave now"

"Syaoran, let me…"

"Good-bye Sakura"

Syaoran said as he held the door open for her, yet he wouldn't look her in the eye. Sakura couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears. Syaoran's heart ached to see her this way. His expression softened and he walked closer to her…

Sakura stopped crying once she felt a pair of strong arms pull her into a tight embrace. After a few minutes, Sakura looked up at Syaoran.

"W-W-Will you listen to me?…please?"

Syaoran looked down at her and smiled.

"Of course"

(Starrie notes: awwwww…*sniff* *sniff* now wasn't that just adorable? Evil Starrie: of course you sap…YOU wrote it!!! Starrie: shut up! *Hits evil Starrie with a mallet and you see evil Starrie gone all swirly eyed* Starrie: heheheheheh….and you thought I couldn't be evil? *evil grin*)
(Time Skip)

"…so then that's when you walked into the garden. I'm really sorry"

"Don't be, it wasn't your fault. If there's anyone to blame, it's Allen. Plus, I'm the one who should be sorry…sorry for not giving you a chance to explain"

Syaoran said as he gave her an apologetic smile. Sakura hugged him tight in response.

"It's ok. At least we're back together again!"

Syaoran let out a chuckle and hugged her back.

"I missed you so much"

"I missed you too and—uh-oh"

"What?"

"What are we going to do about your engagement to Meiling?"

"Oh right that, ummmm…."

"We'll break it off!"

they heard a female's voice say. They turned around to see Meiling walk into the large livingroom.

"We'll break off the engagement. Our parents can't say anything if we both agree to it."

Meiling said with a smile on her face.

"Come on, let's go right now!"

she said excitingly as she grabbed both Sakura and Syaoran and led them towards her family's castle…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you two agreed to this?"

Lord Xio Zu asked as he looked at his daughter and at Prince Syaoran.

"yes, we did. We never wanted to get married to one another in the first place"

Lord Xio Zu gave a sigh

"But are you two sure about this?"

Lady Ling asked as she came forward and held onto her husband's arm.

"Son, if this is what you and Lady Meiling have chosen, then we as your parents have no other option then to go with your decision"

Yelan said as she stepped in front of Meiling's parents.

"But what about the agreement King Chen made and…"

"Ling, my husband put in the agreement that if both kids decided to call off the engagement, that we as their parent's would have no other choice other then to agree with their decision. Afterall, it' s their lives we're talking about, not ours. We already lived ours, let them live theirs anyway they want to and with whoever they want to"

Yelan said as she looked at her son and at Sakura…this just made them blush.

"But Yelan, why was the agreement put in the first place?"

"So we could ensure that the magical abilities stay within the family but…I don't think that'll be a problem in the near future. I want to see my son happy…don't you want to see your daughter happily married?"

Yelan said sternly as she looked at her younger half-sister. Lady Ling felt small under Yelan's gaze. She looked at the ground and bit her lip. She then looked up at her husband's fiery mahogany eyes. He just gave her a, there's-nothing-we-can-do look. Ling then turned to look at her older half-sister and mustered up a small smile.

"Alright then, the wedding…is off"

Meiling became overjoyed once hearing this and threw her arms around her mother.

"Thank you for understanding mother"

Meiling said happily. Lady Ling was about to say something when she immediately stopped herself. It felt good to have her daughter hugging her again. Instead, she just smiled and returned the hug. They separated from the hug when the heard Lord Xio Zu clear his throat.

"Meiling"

"Yes father?"

Meiling asked as she turned to look at him.

"About this…son of Lord Carlin"

(SN: heheheh…. got the name from…uhhhh…good question…. even I dunno -. -;;)

"Nicholas? Yes, what about him?"

Meiling asked curiously.

"Well…you should bring him by the estate one of these days. Afterall, I'd like to meet the man who wishes to marry my daughter"

Meiling's eyes lightened up upon hearing these words.

"Thank you father! She said as tears of joy sprang at the corner of her eyes. Lord Xio Zu smiled at his daughter.

"I'm sorry if your mother an I have forced you into this engagement. We just wanted you to be happy…and seeing that you'll only be happy with Nicholas, I'm willing to accept you marriage to him."

Meiling hugged her father tightly.

"I'm glad you understand"….

Sakura, Syaoran and Yelan each allowed themselves a smile as they watched daughter and parent starting to get along.

"Well, we'll be on our way"

Yelan said to Ling. Ling smiled at the three and nodded…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Back at the Li Estate)

"Mother…I've decided to go to the Zelder Kingdom"

Yelan and Sakura turned to look at Syaoran after his sudden decision.

"Zelder? But son, that kingdom is 10 hours away from here. Why on earth would you want to go there for?"

"Because that's where I was found when I was three. Maybe the place holds some clues about my past"

"I'll come with you. Afterall, Zelder is only two hours away from my kingdom"

Sakura said as she eyed Syaoran worriedly. Syaoran shook his head and turned to look at her.

"No Sakura…I need to do this on my own and—hey, I have an idea! Mother, why don't you stay at the Kinomoto's Kingdom while I go to Zelder? That way you wont have to worry so much since I'll only be two hours away."

"That's a great idea! I'm sure father wouldn't mind"

Sakura added in as she looked at Yelan.

"I wouldn't want to be a bother to you or your family Sakura"

"It wouldn't be a bother at all!"

"Plus…wouldn't you want to be there when your son asks King Fujitaka for this lovely woman's hand in marriage?"

Syaoran said as he took Sakura's hand into his and gave his mother a smile. Yelans eyes twinkled with happiness as she looked at the smiling Syaoran and blushing Sakura in front of her.

"I knew there was something between you two"

She said knowingly as she looked at her son and at his future fiancee. She then got up from her seat and waked up to Sakura and embraced her tightly.

"Out of every woman in the country that Syaoran could have chosen to be his wife, it makes me happy to know that it's you my dear"

Sakura smiled and hugged Yelan back.

"Well…let's get everything ready if we wish to leave tomorrow morning. There's no way we'll be able to head back to the Kinomoto Kingdom tonight"

Syaoran said as he stood up from his seat.

"Right, I'll go and tell Wei to get everything ready"

Yelan said as she smiled on last time at the couple and turned to leave. Once Yelan had left the room, Sarkura's smile turned into a frown.

"Syaoran…do you think going to Zelder is the right thing? You do know that the kingdom is very dangerous. It has robbers and the place is always a filthy mess and it's dangerous to walk around town at night and…"

Syaoran placed a finger on Sakura's lips as to silence her.

"Don't worry…nothing is going to happen. Sakura, please understand…I need to do this. I need to know who is that man that killed my father…and who are those two peoples who tore me away from my family. There are so many questions that I have…yet, I can't seem to find the answers to any of them."

Sakura shifted her gaze from Syaoran's intense amber eyes to the fine hand-woven carpet underneath her.

"I-I-I understand"

She said in a barely audible voice. She closed her eyes tightly as to prevent the now forming tears from falling. Why was she crying? Even she didn't know. Maybe it was the thought of loosing him a third time that scared her. She opened her eyes once she felt Syaoran place his hand underneath her chin and gently bring her head up so he could look into her sea-green eyes.

"I promise you that as soon as I'm done at Zelder, I'll come straight to you. I don't plan to stay there no more then 1 or 2 days"

With this said, Sakura was able to cheer up a bit.

"You mean it?"

She asked with a weak smile on her face.

"I promise"
Syaoran said as he tilted his head forward and kissed her…

They separated from the kiss once they heard four different types of giggles come from the doorway. The looked up to see Femei, Xiefa, Fuutie, and Fanren standing there, looking at the couple.

"So Sakura, is our baby brother and good of a kisser?"

Femei asked teasingly as she watched her brother turn into like ten different shades of red. Sakura giggled at Syaoran's reaction.

"As a matter of fact, he is"

This made the girls erupt into another fit of giggles…and made Syaoran blush even more.

"Come on, let's go before they poison your mind"

Syaoran said as he took Sakura's hand and led her away from his sisters…

(SN: hehehehe…I luuuuuv annoying my brother in front of his girlfriend ^^ it's so much fun!!! I tell her embarrassing stuff he's done…and he just glares at me and denies everything ^_^)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sakura, why don't you stay over tonight? It's too late to be traveling back to the Kinomoto Kingdom. I'll send a messenger to your father so he won't worry. Syaoran, you, and I will be heading out tomorrow morning."

"Ok, that's fine with me!"

Sakura said to Yelan as she and Syaoran walked into the library.

"Syaoran, go tell Annabelle to prepare a room for Sakura"

"Alright mom"

Syaroan said. he then gave Sakura a small kiss on the cheek and turned to go find the maid…

Yelan looked at Sakura and a soft smile crossed her face.

"You remind me so much of your mother. You have the same soft eyes she had at your age, eyes that always seemed to have a smile to offer to the world. It makes me very happy to know that my son is going to marry the daughter of my dear friend Nadeshiko."

Sarkura blushed at the compliment.

"I-I-I miss my mother a lot"

she said as her eyes saddened a bit.

"Don't worry my dear. I'm sure she's watching over you"

Yelan said in a comforting voice.

"Queen Yelan…your family has magic too right?"

"Yes, as you probably know, we're from the mothers side of the family of Clow Reed…and I also know that you're the mistress of the cards now"

Sakura's eyes widened once hearing this.

"H-H-How do you…"

"When I entered the Kinomoto Kingdom the other day, I thought I sensed the holder of the cards. When I saw you that day, I was positive that it was you. Your Aura is a strong one and the powers of the cards seemed to be intertwined with it."

"You know…before coming here, I told my dad and Touya all about the cards and Kero and how I captured them in the past. They weren't too surprised though, and that really startled me."
Yelan smiled at her.

"Magic is known to run in some of the kingdoms of the country but not all are blessed with magical abilities…only a few"

"But…why do I have magic?"

"You mother Nadeshiko…she had magic"

Sakura looked at Yelan in amazement. Nobody had ever told her that before.

"Nobody knew about her magical abilities though…only Queen Sonomi, Naomi, and I knew about it, that's why nobody has mentioned it to you before…but after Nadeshiko died…Sonomi, Naomi and I decided that Fujitaka had a right to know so we told him. That's why he's not surprised to know that you inherited your mother's magical abilities"

"I already told Annabelle to prepare the room and plus, I sent off the messenger and—oh yeah, Alice told me to tell you that dinner is ready and that my sisters are at the table waiting for us"

"Alright thank you son"

Yelan said with a smile on her face. Ever since her son had come back to the Li Kingdom, everything had changed around the estate. Syaoran now took care of things and Yelan didn't have to be in charge of everything.

"Shall we go?"

Yelan said as she smiled at Sakura.

"Sure!"

Sakura said cheerfully as she walked up to Syaoran and held his hand. The three of them then made their way to the dining room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Syaoran's dream)

A woman was holding him. She was trying her best to cheer him up.

"Kenneth…he's still crying"

She said to her husband with sadness in her voice. The man walked up to the child and to his wife.

"I think…he knows what happened"

He said as he looked down at the whimpering 3-year old. The little boy's face was dirty and his amber eyes were red and swollen from so much crying. The child could barely talk and now that he was with these strangers he had never met, he didn't even dare talk.

"Do something. It breaks my heart to see him this way."

"I guess we can always use the magic Ms. Eileen gave us"

The man then closed his eyes and concentrated his magic. After a few minutes, he re-opened his eyes to see that the child had stopped crying and was staring at him blankly.

"I was able to erase his memory of being a prince…but my powers aren't strong enough to make him forget about his magic or his name. He won't remember his past or what happened yesterday"

"How long will this spell last?"

"I don't know…it might last a few days, a few weeks, if we're lucky, a couple of years"

The man and the woman then turned to look at Syaoran who was just staring at them not knowing what was going on. A smile the crossed his young feature…

"Daddy!"

He called out happily while giggling as he outstretched his arms so that the man could pick him up. At first, the man was stunned. His wife let out a giggle,

"He thinks we're his parents"

She said. The man just smiled and carried the child in his arms…
~*~*~*~

"Kenneth…I-I-I can't do this"

Syaoran heard his mother say as he peeked from behind the door. His mother was leaning against his father's arms. Her sobbing had woken him up.

"Lily…I know what you mean…I don't want to hurt him either. These couple of days we've spent with him…it's almost as if we have our little Ralphie back."

"Then let's go…let's go somewhere far from here where nobody will find us. We'll take care of him as if he's our own. I don't see why Ms. Eileen and Mr. Alvin would want to get rid of him"

"But Lily…they're probably going to look for us and the child once they realize he's not dead"

the woman lowered her gaze to the ground

"I got an idea!"

she said as she looked up at her husband.

"Let's take him to Melody! She lives in Zelder, which is far enough from here. They'll never think of looking for him there!"

"And what about us?"

"We'll leave the child with melody and we'll then go and hide out for a few weeks, maybe months. Once Ms. Eileen and Mr. Alvin get tired of looking for us, we'll come back to zelder and raise Syaoran"

Her husband stood there thinking for a while.

"You know what…your plan might just work. We'll leave to Zelder right now"

Syaoran then opened up the door completely and stepped into the room and walked to where his parents were. His young amber eyes held a look of confusion.

"Mommy, daddy, where are we going?"

The woman turned to look at the little boy and smiled.

"We're going to go visit a friend sweety"

She said as she picked up the child in her arms…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Syaoran"

Syaoran woke up when he heard someone call out his name from behind the closed doors of his room. He heard a soft knocking followed by the person calling out his name again. He groggily got out of bed and headed towards the door and swung it open.

"Syaoran…why wouldn't you answer when I called?"

Sakura asked with worry present in her eyes. She had been knocking for some time now.

"Sorry…I didn't here you"

"Did I wake you up?"

"yeah"

"I'm sorry I…"

"It's ok, anywayz I had to get up if we want to reach your kingdom before the afternoon."

"I'll go and tell your mom you'll be down in a few minutes alright?"

Sakura said. Syaoran smiled at her and stifled a yawn.

"Alright…I'll meet you downstairs in a few minutes"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Later on in the day)

"They were the same couple that kidnapped me"

Syaoran said after he finished telling Sakura and Yelan about his dream the night before.

"So then they weren't all that bad"

Sakura concluded.

"Sakura has a point son. If they really were evil, they would have killed you instead of wanting to take care of you."

"But…at least now I know who killed my father and why I couldn't remember my past"

Syaoran said as his eyes darkened.

"I saw the couple put a spell on me and…I heard them mention the names "Ms. Eileen" and "Mr. Alvin"

"You think those are the names of the person who killed him?"

Yelan asked. Syaoran turned to look at his mother.

"I saw a man kill my father…I don't know what part this woman named "Ms. Eileen" had to play in it. Now I want to go to Zelder more then ever…something tells me I'll find what I'm looking for there."

"Prince Syaoran, Queen Yelan, we have arrived at the Kinomoto Kingdom and we have already entered the Kinomoto estate."
The carriage driver said as he came to a stop. He then got off, came around and escorted Yelan and Sakura off the carriage.

"Well, shall we go inside?"

Sakura said with a smile on her lips. She could hardly wait any longer to see her family. soon, Syaoran would go to Zelder and the faster he came back, the faster he would ask her father for her hand in marriage.

"Lets go"

Syaoran said as he smiled at his future fiancee and held out his arm for her to take. They put the conversation they had inside the carriage aside and walked into the castle…

(SN: i don't think my readers are that stupid but just in case for you uhhhhhhhh...slow ones out there...(heheheh, i'm saying this cuz Sapphie...who's pretty slow, didn't get it until i told her...hehhee...she's gonna kill me if she sees i said that -.-;;) Eileen and Alvin are Evelyn Allen. they just have a different identity in the past, and they have a different identity in the future. if you don't understand, email me at quttieprincess@hotmail.com and i'll explain better ok? kay, now lemme "quit ma bitchin' ")
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Yelan, Syaoran! It's so good to see you again"

Fujitaka said as he came into the large livingroom to greet his guests. After he gave a proper greeting, he turned to his daughter and embraced her tightly.

"I missed you so much my darling"

"I missed you too daddy"

Sakura said as she embraced her dad back. Her father then let go and smiled at her.

"The castle wasn't the same without you. Your brother and Kero were going crazy because they had no one to bother and Naomi…Naomi was moping around the house because her 'little princess' wasn't here."

Sakura let out a giggle trying to imagine all that her father had said.

"well, I have to get going…I only came here to see my mother and Sakura off."

Syaoran said as he stood up from the couch. Fujitaka turned to look at him confused.

"but…aren't you staying here?"

"no, I have to get going to the Zelder Kingdom"

"How long do you plan to stay there?"

"I'm not sure…it will probably just be two days though"

Fujitaka nodded.

"will you come back here?"

Syaoran smiled and turned to look at Sakura, who blushed slightly and gave him one of her best smiles.

"Of course…I have something really important to discuss with you, King Fujitaka"

Fujitaka smiled and gave Syaoran a hug.

"Good luck on your trip…I hope to see you soon"

Fujitaka had a pretty good idea what Syaoran wanted to ask him…and he also knew his daughter was now finally happy…and he couldn't have asked for more.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I can't wait Nana!!! Syaoran's going to ask for my hand in marriage!"

Sakura shrieked in delight as she plopped down on her bed and gave a content sigh. Naomi giggled at the girl's actions.

"It's so good to see you smile again my child"

"I can't wait until he gets back from Zelder"
Sakura said as she rose up in her bed and looked at Naomi. Her eyes then lightened up.

"Come on Nana, we have to go and find Tomoyo…we have to tell her the good news!"

Sakura said as she grabbed Naomi's hand and ran towards her bedroom door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I'm so glad Sakura's happy…and I owe it all to Syaoran"

Fujitaka said as he turned to look from the window to Yelan. Yelan smiled at Fujitaka.

"It's so good to see our kids together isn't it?"

Fujitaka let out a chuckle…

"I guess Chen was right afterall"

~*Flashback*~

"Chen, Yelan, come in!"

Fujitaka said as he led his two friends into the large livingroom of the Kinomoto estate. Their four girls accompanied them and King Chen held his small 2-year old son proudly in his arms.

"mommy…can we go play with Prince Touya?"

Femei asked as she tugged at her mother's dress. Yelan looked down at her daughter and smiled.

"of course you can"

"Can we take our baby brother with us?"

All of a sudden, Syaoran put a death grip on his father's shirt and wouldn't let go. King Chen let out a chuckle.

"It'd be best if you leave your brother with us right now, sweety"

Femei looked disappointed but not for long when she still remembered she had Touya to torture…

(SN: hehehehe…sisters already evil)

"Nadeshiko! It's so good to see you"

Yelan said as she rushed to her friend's side and embraced her. She looked at the little girl that was in her friend's arms and smiled.

"Hello dear Sakura"

she said as she picked the little girl with emerald eyes in the air. The girl let out a giggle and started to play with Yelan's ebony colored locks. Yelan giggled and then handed the child back to her mother.

"She is truly a gem"

she said as she took a seat next to Nadeshiko. Nadeshiko smiled and then turned to look at the little boy that was walking up to yelan.

"Hello there Syaoran"

She said cheerfully at the little boy with messy chestnut colored hair like his mothers. His attention then left his mother and turned to the woman who had called his name. Nadeshiko smiled and picked Syaoran up.

"He's so kawaii Yelan!"

Yelan giggled.

"He gets that a lot from his sisters"

Nadeshiko then put Syaoran down and then put Sakura down too.

The grown-ups then started to talk business matter…

Syaoran looked at the girl in front of him. She had deep green eyes and had a confused expression on her face. Her lips then curled into a smile and she gave a polite curtsy.

"Hi! I'm Sakura, what's your name?"

Syaoran looked at her seriously.

"I'm Syaoran"

"wanna play Syaoran?"

Syaoran was about to say no but then decided against it.

"Ok"

"I know! Let's play house!"

(SN: heheheeh…. corny game, I know -.-;;; couldn't think of nothin' better…...so sue me!)

Syaoran rolled his eyes at this.

"fine…"

he said with a bored expression. The faster his parent's finished what they had to do the better…
(few minutes later)

"isn't this so much fun?"

Sakura said while giggling as she had on her mother's old cloths and Syaoran had her fathers cloths on.

"Now come on! we have to take the baby to their grandma's and grandpa's!"

Sakura said as she grabbed the fake baby in one hand and Syaoran's arm with the other.

"what! I'm not going dressed like this into the livingroom! My mommy and daddy are there!"

"Syaoran! The baby has to meet its granddaddy and grandmommy!"

Sakura then put on puppy dog eyes.

"Please?"

Syaoran gave a sigh.

"alright…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"look at our baby mommy, daddy!"
Sakura said proudly as she walked into the livingroom. The all looked down to see a smiling Sakura holding up a plastic baby for them to see, Syaoran was facing his left, looking not to pleased. The adults held back their laugh at the game their kids were playing.

"wow, the baby is so adorable!"

Nadeshiko said as she and the rest of the grown-ups smiled at the kids.

"So what did you name her?"

"We named her....Peony!"

Sakura said proudly. The grown-ups giggled once more at the kids.

"Come on Syaoran! we have to take the baby to eat it's dinner!"

Sakura said excitingly as she grabbed Syaoran again and dragged him back to her room.

Once the kids left, the grown-ups started to giggle.

"Those two are so cute together!"

Nadeshiko said after she stopped laughing.

"I wonder…what if, our kids fall in love with one another when they grow up?"

King Chen said as he looked at his friends. the grown-ups laughed again.

"I don't think that's possible my dear friend. Afterall, Syaoran is betrothed to Meiling, Lady Ling's baby daughter…and should I mention that the agreement was between you and Lord Xio Zu"

Fujitaka said as he looked at King Chen. King Chen just chuckled.

"But in the agreement, it was said that if the kids agreed to, they could break off the betrothal"

Fujitaka just smiled.

"Well in that case…you never know…I could happen"

King Chen smiled.

"Yes…it's very possible it can happen"

~*End of Flashback*~

Yelan giggled at the memory.

"those were the good old days weren't they? Nadeshiko and Chen were both still with us, our kids were little and all the kingdoms were at peace"

Fujitaka let out a sigh.

"yes…but, if there is one good thing now is that…our kids are happily together and nothing can tear them apart"

"I agree"

Yelan said as she smiled at Fujitaka

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

"Prince Syaoran, we have arrived at Zelder"

The carriage man said as he came to a sudden halt at the entrance of the kingdom.

"Thank you Max. I'm going to walk around the town square for a while. Meet me back here in…one hour?"

"Yes, your highness"

the man said before he took off…

Syaoran walked around the town market square cautiously. He hadn't been there in years; the place looked different. He wasn't concentrating where he was going when he suddenly bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry are you alright?"

He asked politely as he helped the elderly woman keep her balance. The woman then looked up and smiled.

"It's ok"

Syaoran then gasped when he saw her face.

"M-M-Melody?"

The lady looked at Syaoran confused.

"Do I know you sir?"

The man she saw was dressed in nobility cloth and she knew no one from such high ranking.

"Melody, it's me…Syaoran"
it's was now the old woman's turn to be surprised.

"Syaoran? My little Syaoran who I raised?"

Syaoran smiled at her.

"The one and only"

He said jokingly. Melody's face then brightened up with a smile and she hugged him.

"I missed you so much! You've grown-up to be such a handsome young man!"
she then let go of him and took a step back.

"but tell me child…why are you dressed in such fine clothing…that is unless…"
a horrified look then crossed her face.

"Melody…I need to talk to you about…my past"
the elderly woman looked at Syaoran and then down at the floor.

"Melody, please! You're the only one who can help me"

Melody then let out a sigh.

"Alright child…it's time I should. Although by the looks of it, I'd say you found your real family"

"That's right, I have"

"Well…come to my house and we'll talk there"

"Alright"

Syaoran said as he followed her out of the market and into the streets…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So you no longer for King Timothy?"

Syaoran asked as he walked into a small bakery and went around the back to a small room. The smell of freshly baked bread lingered in the air and teased his nose.

"No, I quit shortly after you went off on your own. I then started my own bakery."

"Your breads were always very delicious"

Syaoran said as he smiled at the gray-haired, ebony-eyed woman in front of him.

"So how have you been son?"

Syaoran let out a sigh. My life…has been very hectic. But first, I would like to ask you a few things about my past. I keep having these reoccurring dreams. Yet, everything is still confusing. I was hoping that you could clear some things up."

Melody gave a sigh and stood up. She then turned to look at the crackling fireplace in the room. Yet, she could feel Syaoran's intense gaze looking at her.

"Melody, I wasn't really found in an abandoned house like you told me…right?"

Melody didn't answer him and just kept her eyes on the blazing red flames.

"Melody…don't I have a right to know?"
Syaoran asked pleadingly. There was a minute of silence between both of them and then Syaoran stood up.

"I thought I could count on you…but I guess I was wrong"

He said sadly as he turned to walk out of the small room.

"You're right…I lied. I didn't find you in an abandoned house"

Melody said as she turned to face him. Syaoran froze and turned to face her once again.

"They came to me late one night…both Kenneth and Lily"

A gentle smile then appeared on her lips. She walked back to the table and took a seat; Syaoran also walked back towards the table and took a seat next to her.

"They were really close friends of mine"

she continued on with her story,.

"When I saw them at my doorstep, holding a little 3 year-old, I was overjoyed. But…I sensed something wasn't right. Lily had a worried expression in her crystalline-blue eyes. Her eyes had lost their unique shine. Kenneth was soaking wet and shivering from the rain that was falling. He was holding you, sleeping, in his arms. His jacket was wrapped over you to prevent you from getting cold and wet…

~*Flashback*~

"Come in quick!"

Melody said as she ushered her friends inside her small room in the servant's headquarters of the Zelder Estate.

"Where can I put the child?"

Kenneth asked as he still held the sleeping Syaoran in his arms.

"Put him down on the bed"

Melody said as she grabbed some towels so Lily and Kenneth could dry themselves off. Once things had calmed down a bit and Melody had given Lily and Kenneth some tea, she turned to them with worry in her dark eyes.

"What happened?"

Kenneth and Lily exchanged looks and nodded in agreement.

"the child over there is…the heir to the Li Kingdom"

Melody gasped once she heard this.

"You kidnapped a future king! Don't you know you've just committed a crime!?"

"We know, we had no choice! We were sent to kill him but…we can't do it. Instead, we've decided to run away as far as
possible and raise the child ourselves!"

Lily said desperately. Melody nodded as she looked at the troubled couple in front of her.

"I see…so you came to Zelder because it's the farthest from the Li Kingdom"

"Melody, we need to ask you a favor. The child's name is Syaoran and he doesn't remember any of his past; He thinks we're his parents. Can you please watch over him for some time? The two peoples that sent us to kill him will soon realize he's not dead and they're probably going to look for the child and us. We don't want to put his life in danger any more and if he stays with us…they might find him."

"And what about you two?"

"We're going to hide out for a while. We're going far away from here so in case they do find us…they won't find Syaoran. We'll return once they get tired of looking for us. Please melody, can you please just do us this one favor! If not for us, do it for the child. He's just a couple of years old and they already want him dead, dead and he hasn't done anything to harm anybody"

Melody then sighed and walked to where the child was sleeping. She looked down at the 3 year-old and smiled. She brushed a strand of hair out of his face and covered him with a blanket.

"Alright Lily, I'll take care of him"

Melody said as she turned back to face Kenneth and Lily.

"Thank you Melody, I knew I could count on you"

Lily said with relief as she stood up and went to embrace her best friend…
~*End of Flashback*~

"But…they never did come back"

Melody said as her eyes saddened.

"Weeks and months passed by, yet…there was no sign of them whatsoever. At first, you would always ask for your mom and dad but then…you started to forget about them until one day, you never asked for them again. Half a year later, I came across this man I knew. He told me he had found the bodies of Kenneth and Lily…dead. I think those peoples they mentioned found them, and…they killed them. I couldn't tell you about your real parents or about Kenneth and Lily because I was afraid you'd ask questions…questions I wouldn't know how to answer. That's why when you grew up and asked me about your past…me finding you was the only excuse I could come up with"

"They risked their lives for mines…even if it meant ending their own?"

"yes, Kenneth and Lily never were bad. I don't even know why they agreed to do what those two sent them to. I guess they never told where you were, or else the peoples that were looking for you would have found you."

Everything had suddenly become clearer for Syaoran. All the memories were starting to make sense. He now felt a newfound hatred for these Eileen and Alvin person.

"Melody, do you know anything about someone named Alvin?"

"No"

"how about Eileen?"

"No, I've never met anybody with those names."

Melody then looked at Syaoran and her eyes started to water.

"Syaoran, please be careful"

Syaoran smiled and hugged melody.

"Don't worry, I will"

"No son, you don't understand…those peoples tried to kill you once when you were the prince. What if they're still alive and still want to kill you, especially now that you're once again the prince and in a few years, King of the Li Kingdom, the most powerful kingdom of the south-side of the country."

"I promise I'll watch over myself Melody"

Melody stopped crying once hearing this and gave Syaoran a weak smile.

"Would you like to stay here tonight? That way we can talk about anything else you might want to ask and you can tell me more about yourself"

Syaoran chuckled.

"Alright…but only if you make those chocolate-filled pastries I loved!"

"Deal!"

Melody said as she stood up and went to make the dough…

(2 days later)

Sakura sat under the large Nadeshiko tree. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining brightly and a mild breeze rustled the leaves and played with her hair. She gave a deep sigh, and a content smile crossed her face as she leaned back and closed her eyes…

Sakura woke up when she heard footsteps heading her way. She saw Naomi walk up to her with a happy smile on her lips.

"Wake up child…there's someone who just came today and I'm sure you'd be overjoyed to see."

She got up groggily.

"Nana, I'm so tired…is it ok with you if I meet this person later?"

Naomi looked surprised at Sakura's response, but then realized that Sakura probably didn't know whom she meant.

"Alright Sakura…but I'm sure a certain boy with Dark Brown hair and eyes will be rather disappointed to hear that"

Sakura's eyes immediately opened up wide once hearing the words that had left Naomi's mouth.

"S-S-Syaoran came back!"

She asked expectantly. Naomi just giggled and nodded her head in response. Sakura squealed in delight and hugged Naomi. She then let go and quickly ran towards the livingroom…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yelan, Fujitaka, Touya and an elderly looking man with dark-brown eyes and gray hair sat in the living room talking when
Syaoran walked in.

"Son! It's so good to have you back again!"

Yelan said as she stood up to embrace Syaoran.

"It's good to see you too mother"

Syaoran said as he hugged her back. He then walked up to Fujitaka and Touya and said hi to them also. After they had all settled down, Fujitaka introduced Syaoran to the man in the room.

"Syaoran this is Lord Kellin, he's in charge of making sure the laws of the land are enforced and fixes any problems that might arise from the laws.

"Good to meet you sir"

Syaoran said as he bowed respectively to the elderly man standing in front of him. Lord Kellin had arrived a few hours ago at the Kinomoto Kingdom. He had come to review some new laws with Fujitaka.

"It's good to see you too prince Syaoran"

Lord Kellin said as he too bowed.

"I'm glad you have your son back Yelan"

Lord Kellin said as he smiled at the woman in front of him. She looked a lot happier now that her son was with her once more.

"It sure is nice having him back"

Yelan said cheerfully.

"Syaoran!"

They all heard a female's voice say from the entrance of the livingroom. Sakura then ran into Syaoran's arms and embraced him tightly.

"I missed you so much!"

She said. Syaoran wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled once hearing her voice.

"I missed you too…"

He then separated to look into her emerald-colored eyes.

"how about I ask now?"

he said with a smile on his face. Sakura's eyes filled with happiness once hearing this. Syaoran needed no response; the look in her eyes said enough. Syaoran then gently let go of her and turned to face Fujitaka.

"King Fujitaka…I would like to ask you for your daughters hand in marriage."

Fujitaka looked at Syaoran, not the least surprised. A smile then formed on his lips.

"I would be honored, to have my daughter marry you Syaoran…but that is, only if Sakura wishes to"

"Yes I want to marry Syaoran!"

Sakura said as she came up to Syaoran's side and held his hand.

"So what do you say Yelan?"

Fujitaka said as he turned to look at Yelan with a smile on his lips.

"I say…this calls for a celebration! Afterall, we're not letting the engagement of our only son and daughter go without a grand
ball!"

she said as she smiled. Syaoran rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Great…another ball"

He said sarcastically. Sakura giggled at her fiancee's enthusiasm.

"Come on Syaoran, it'll be fun…do it for me at least"

Syaoran then chuckled.

"anything for you my cherry blossom"

"Wait a minute…you two can't get married"

Lord Kellin said as he stepped into the conversation. Yelan, Touya, Fujitaka, Naomi, Sakura and Syaoran all turned to look at
Lord Kellin with confusion in all of their eyes.

"It's against the law. You two can't get married"….

(In a dimension…where I still haven't figured out where…I know…I'm pathetic -.-;;)

"So now what are you going to do Mr. If-you-want-something-done-right-you-have-to-do-it-yourself huh!?"

"Evelyn, yelling is not going to solve anything"

Allen said as he sat on his throne and rubbed his temples with his fingers. He felt a migraine coming and it was all because of her.

"Well then what the fuck do you plan to do now huh!? Your stupid plan did nothing but keep them apart for two days! I'm walking around the market square thinking that we have all of this won, when I overhear the little bitch of a princess talking to her best friend and they're talking about her engagement to Syaoran!!"

"Evelyn, I said you're not helping the situation!"

"Like I give shit! While you sit in your damn kingdom, I have to live the life of a damn peasant! I'm sick and tired of all this shit! Now everything has become more complicated then ever!"

"You're sick and tired of it!? Don't you think I am too!"

"Then what the fuck are you going to do about it!?"

Allen then stood up from his throne and walked down to where Evelyn was standing. He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head so she could look into his icy-blue eyes.

"Get everything ready…we're going into battle"

A smile crossed Evelyn's lips.

"I suppose history's going to repeat itself?"

"Yes…but this time, it's going to be against the Kinomoto kingdom…and this time our plan wont fail. We're going to FORCE
Princess Sakura to marry me and surrender her cards to us."

A wider smile appeared on Evelyn's face

"I like it…something tells me, this time we wont fail"…
