Evil Starrie: *in stupid, babyish voice* what's the matter….wittle baby wost her bottle? Wittle baby want her mommy?
Starrie: *glare* so what if I'm a whiny bitch…. That's one of my best qualities! ^_^ hehehehehehehe…..
Evil Starrie: *rolls eyes* are you SURE about that??????
Starrie: *picks up her electric violin and is about to slam it over Evil Starrie's head and then stops in mid-air* wait...wrong item *puts away violin and then picks up her brother's electric guitar that he loves so much and slams THAT over Evil Starrie's head*…..youch…that's gonna leave a mark…..on the guitar…..my bro's gonna kill me……….but oh wells! ^_^ he shouldn't have called me GRASSHOPPER A FEW MINUTES AGO!!!!!!
Evil Starrie: *stand up* but your brother said he'll give buy you a BMW when you graduate from college…under one condition…the license plate has to say…..GRASSHOPPER!!!!!!!!!…..AND YOU AGREED!!!!
Starrie: *very deadly death glare* DON'T REMIND ME!!!!!…I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR BMW'S!!!!! *picks up brothers guitar again* DIE BITCH DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starrie: ok….as you all probably noticed, this chapter isn't pages and
pages and pages and pages…..@_@ ok, I think you get my point! ^_^ anywayz,
as you all probably noticed, I haven't put up "thank yous" and "special
thank yous" this time. My reason? Well, you see, doing them takes
up a lot of time, sometimes it takes up to 3 weeks to write them up, but
if I work on them every night, then I'll do them in one week in a half.
But, I'm only human and I also have a life outside of ff.net (just like
all of you) please understand that writing up "thank Yous" take up a lot
of time which, I could be spending in coming up with new fics or…. Finish
writing up the chapter to this story and my other stories! ^_^ anywayz,
I want you all to know, that just because I don't write thank yous doesn't
mean I don't appreciate your reviews. I'm still very thankful for
every single review I get and ALL OF YOU RECEIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU!!!
Especially for this fic, since thanks to all of you it's a great success!
Writing up the thank yous was starting to interfere with writing up my
fics. See, before coming into ff.net, I promised myself to be different
from the rest. Some people make you wait for weeks, maybe even months,
for the next chapter of a fic. I don't like to keep my readers waiting
for so long. The most I'll make my readers wait is two weeks and
a half. If I make them wait longer, I feel guilty because I know
how it is to wait for the next chapter of a fic and feel that the person
is NEVER going to update!!! So no matter how busy I am I always find
time for my fics and then with the thank yous added on top, it was all
becoming too overwhelming. I hope all of you understand me and my
decision and wont hold it against me. As I said before, you're all
special to me!! ^_^ if you have a question, you can email me at quttieprincess@hotmail.com;
if don't have an email address, You can always get one for free at hotmail.com!
^^ If you have aol instant messenger and want to talk to me, my name is
crzyprinzess1229. I also have msn messenger and you can talk to me

Chapter 12
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. She thought that now, Syaoran and her were able to get married when all of a sudden, Lord Kellin comes and says they can't
"Why can't they get married"
Fujitaka asked. He saw his daughter was close to tears and he hated it.
"Well you see, the line of equality divides the country into two halves; the south half and the north half."
"Yes, I am aware of that. But I still don't see why Syaoran and
Sakura can't marry. The purpose of the line was to separate both
halves when the civil war was going on, that happened more then 100 years
ago. The line of equality is now just there as a landmark."
Lord Kellin shook his head and turned to look at both Yelan and Fujitaka.
"50 years ago, a new purpose was set for the line. All kingdoms north of the line could marry into another kingdom from the north. All kingdoms south of the line could marry into another kingdom from the south. A kingdom from the north can't marry into a kingdom from the south and vice versa. There was never before a problem with this law, seeing that the north and south rarely got together and that most kingdoms would always want their daughter living close by"
"But why is there this law? It's not as if the north and south are at war"
Yelan said, stepping into the conversation. Lord Kellin nodded in agreement to her statement.
"You're right, the kingdoms of north and south aren't at war. This law was made so that the daughter of a king, would never have to be too far away from her homeland"
Lord Kellin then turned to look at Sakura and Syaoran.
"I'm sorry but…you two are going to have to marry someone from within your side of the country"
Sakura's eyes filled with tears and her body started to shake.
"No…no! I won't let some law stand in my way! Do you know how much pain Syaoran and I had to go through in order to be together!? Now you're saying that…that…"
Sakura couldn't take it anymore and burst into uncontrollable tears. Syaoran glared at Lord Kellin and then turned to Sakura and hugged her tightly.
"Is there anything we can do? Maybe find a way to chance the law?"
Touya asked as he looked helplessly at his crying sister. Lord Kellin thought for a while and then nodded his head in approval.
"There…might be a way…you see, both the Li Kingdom and the Kinomoto Kingdom have an advantage and disadvantage concerning this law. The advantage is that the Li kingdom is the most powerful kingdom of the south, while the Kinomoto Kingdom is the most powerful in the north. Since you, Queen Yelan and you, King Fujitaka have a lot to say concerning the laws, there might be a way to chance the laws so these two can get married. The disadvantage is your locations. Both the Kinomoto Kingdom and the Li Kingdom are located far from one another. The counsel might take this in consideration when they make their decision."
"But Yelan and I don't mind our children getting married. For us, it would be a wonderful idea"
"Yes I know that. But you see, you two nor I make the final decision. The counsel are the ones who will make it"
"When can we talk to the counsel?"
Touya asked.
"Well, they will be at the Tylen (SN: hehehehe…Tylen, Tylenol? Yup! That's where I got it from! ^_^ Evil Starrie: *looks up from filing her nails and glares at Starrie* NOBODY FREAKIN' CARES!!! CONTINUE WITH THE DAMN STORY!!!! Starrie: *glare* *throws a pillow at Evil Starrie and Evil Starrie falls to the ground* well, everyone continue on! ^_^ *Hears Evil Starrie bitching in the background*) kingdom in two days reviewing some new laws. The kingdom is located just an hour away."
"Then we'll go to Tylen and talk to the counsel in person"
Fujitaka said. He would do anything to see his daughter happy
again. Lord Kellin nodded and then outstretched a hand out to
Fujitaka.
"I've got to get going but first…I wish the best of luck"
Fujitaka nodded and shook his hand. After saying good-bye to Touya and Yelan, Lord Kellin made his way to Sakura and Syaoran.
"I'm sorry about all of this but…the counsel has the final say, not me"
Sakura turned to look at the elderly man and gave him a small smile.
"It's alright. We understand"
Lord Kellin smiled at the two and then turned to walk away….
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(2 days later)
"I'm so scared Syaoran"
Sakura said as she leaned her head against his shoulder. They
were sitting on a bench in the garden, admiring the beautiful
scenery in front of them. Their parent's, along with Touya had
left early morning and had headed to the Tylen Kingdom. They
were expected to be back soon. Syaoran bent his head forward
and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Don't be…I know our parent's will try their best"
Sakura smiled and looked up at him.
"I don't know how I was able to survive all those years without you.
You're my everything; my life. I don't know what I
would do without you."
Syaoran was touched by her words and bent down and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"And you're my everything also"
He whispered into her ear as he broke away from the kiss. Sakura
smiled and then rested her head on his shoulder once more.
She closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep….
(SN: that wuz just so…*sniff* so…. KAWAII!!! *evil Starrie looks up
from painting her nails and rolls her eyes. She then throws a box
of tissue towards Starrie* Evil Starrie: here! Shut up and take that!!!
Starrie: *sniff* *sniff* see! I knew you weren't that mean afterall!!!!
^_^ Evil Starrie: *rolls her eyes* yeah…. Whatever)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura awoke when she felt Syaoran shaking her gently. She opened her eyes slowly and stifled a small yawn.
"Our parent's are back, they're waiting for us inside the living room"
Syaoran said as he stood up from the bench they had been sitting on.
Sakura stood up too and then intertwined her hands with
his. Syaoran felt her hand cold and clammy. He gave her
a reassuring smile and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"Don't worry, I'm sure everything turned out fine"
He said to her. Sakura looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm sure you're right"
She said as she squeezed back his hand and continued to walk out of the garden along with him…
Sakura didn't know why but ever since she had woken up from her nap, she had been having an uneasy feeling. She knew it wasn't about the counsels decision because she, just like Syaoran, believed that their parent's would try their best to change the law. But there was this feeling…and she couldn't shake it off.
'it's probably nothing'
She assured herself mentally. She put the feeling at the back
of her mind once she entered the large livingroom…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After exchanging greetings, Sakura and Syaoran turned to look at Yelan and at Fujitaka. Both grown-ups smiled at the couple in front of them.
"Well…it's was a tough job but…the counsel got rid of that law. You two of you are now allowed to get married"
Sakura and Syaoran broke out into a large grin once hearing this. Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly and he hugged her back.
"I love you"
Syaoran whispered into her ear as he hugged her. Sakura smiled and looked up into his eyes.
"I love you too"
She said as she looked into the eyes of the one person she loved. They then separated from the hug and went to thank their parents…
"Thank you"
Sakura said as hugged her father. Fujitaka smiled at his daughter and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Anything to see you smile"
He said as he hugged her again…
They all then took a seat in the large living room and started to plan things for the engagement party. Naomi came into the livingroom along with Kero and congratulated the couple. Everything seemed to be going right. Syaoran and Sakura held hands and laughed along with their parents about the preparations for the party. Nothing could separate them now…
"So for the ball, the Kingdoms that…"
Suddenly, they all heard a loud explosion come from outside the castle walls.
"What was that!?"
Fujitaka wondered out loud as he got up from his chair and headed towards the window. Then from outside, a soldier came running into the livingroom with a look of pure panic on his face.
"K-K-King Fujitaka, the kingdom is under attack!"
He shouted out breathlessly. Sakura gasped and Syaoran enveloped
her in a warm, reassuring hug.
"By who!"
Touya demanded as he came up to his fathers' side.
"We don't know; it was a sudden attack. Then enemy seems to be wearing some type of seal…. It's a skull with…. With…"
"A black background and flames are surrounding it"
Yelan finished as her body began to shake and the color drained out
of her face. The soldier nodded as to confirm Yelan's
words.
"It's them"
Yelan said in a hoarse whisper.
"I-I-I'ts them again…they're the ones who killed my husband"
She said as tears came rushing into her eyes. Syaoran immediately moved to his mother and hugged her.
"Don't worry…I'm here with you now"
he whispered reassuringly as he stroked her ebony-colored hair.
(SN: YES IT'S EBONY!!!! MEANING BLACK!!!!! *ahem* for some of you who don't know what I'm talking about….in the last chapter I had written it was brown, but some ccs fans corrected me and told me it was really black…..well, I just want to say to you….thanxs for correcting me! ^_^)
"What should we do my king?"
The man asked as he turned towards Fujitaka.
"Assemble all our soldiers, we can't allow someone to come into our homeland and expect us to surrender"
"What about you my king?"
"I…"
"I will fight for this kingdom"
Touya said in a loud, self-assured voice. Sakura and Fujitaka turned to look at him with worry in their eyes.
"Touya don't, it's dangerous out there…"
"I will be king of this land in a couple of years father, let me do this…let me protect me land"
Fujitaka looked at his son…and saw determination in his eyes. He closed his eyes, not sure if the decision he was about to make was the right one.
"Alright Touya…If you want to…then go"
Touya embraced his father
"I'll make you proud"
He said. He then turned towards his sister, who was holding back tears. He embraced her in a really tight hug.
"Don't worry…I'll be alright"
He then turned around as to walk out of the room.
"Touya wait!…I'll go with you"
Everyone spun around to look at the person who had just spoken those words, Syaoran. Syaoran cleared his throat and said in a loud clear voice,
"I'm going with you"
Touya looked at him and nodded.
"Follow me"
He said. Before Syaoran could, Sakura grabbed his hand.
"No…please don't go"
She said in a trembling voice.
"Listen to her son"
His mother said pleadingly as she place a hand on his shoulder. Syaoran shook his head.
"I need to do this. Those people killed my father…and I want to
make sure they pay for it. That and, I don't want anybody to
try to hurt you Sakura. You're my everything…and I'm willing
to fight for you and this kingdom"
The tears now came rushing down Sakura's cheeks.
"But it's dangerous! What if they…what I-I-If…"
Syaoran pulled the crying girl into his arms and softly caressed her hair.
"Nothing will happen. I'll be alright"
Syaoran then lifted up her chin so she would look into his eyes.
"I'll come back…I'll come back and then I'll marry you. That, I promise"
He then lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. He then broke away and gave her one last hug…
Syaoran looked at his mother and saw her pale, and shaking with fright. He hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I will be back"
He said to her reassuringly.
"Syaoran, we have to get going"
Touya said from where he stood at the doorway. Syaoran nodded and moved away from his mother.
"Good-luck to both of you"
Fujitaka called out as both men exited the room…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura, Kero, Yelan, Naomi and Fujitaka were all inside a tall tower
located in the castle. They were all peering through the
small window, watching the chaos unfold below them. They could
see the whole town from where they were. Then they saw them…Touya,
Syaoran and along with many more soldiers emerged from behind the castle
walls and charged towards the enemy.
'Please be careful'
Sakura pleaded as she watched helplessly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There were so many of them. They were all dressed in black armor with the skull seal on their left arm. One of them came rushing towards Syaoran and knocked him off his horse. Syaoran immediately got up from the ground and started a sword-to-sword fight with one of them. He then pierced his sword into the left arm of his attacker…and his attacker turned into dust. Syaoran looked around, not sure of what had just happened. Another one came from behind him and Syaoran again started to fight with his sword. Just like last time, he pierced the place with the seal and again, his attacker disintegrated into dust.
'So they're not human'
He thought as he fought another one and turned him into dust also.
"Syaoran are you alright?"
Touya asked as he came up on his horse.
"Yes, but tell everyone to aim for the enemies seal. They're not
human, they're soldiers made from magic. Pierce the seal and
they'll turned into dust"
Touya nodded and then rode away…
"So you think you're so smart to have figured that out, huh?"
Came a voice from behind him. Syaoran felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end once hearing the voice. He spun around to see a man who looked ageless standing in front of him. The man had cold, icy-blue eyes and thick black hair. Syaoran took a step back and quickly scanned the man with his eyes. The man let out a loud laugh.
"I'm not made from magic if that's what you're thinking"
"Who are you"
Syaoran asked through clenched teeth. The man looked familiar…yet, he didn't know where he had seen him before. The man let out an evil chuckle.
"So tell me Syaoran, how does it feel to look into the eyes of the man who…killed your father"
That's when Syaoran remember whom this person was. This was the same man who had killed his father in his dreams.
"Not only did I kill your father, but I…"
Black swirls then surrounded the man and once it cleared up, Syaoran saw Allen standing in front of him.
"Also tried to steal your little girlfriend"
A disappointed look then crossed his face.
"Since all my other plans haven't worked…"
An evil grin then replaced the disappointed look,
"I'm sure this will do the trick"
"That's it, you're going to pay for all that you've done!"
Syaoran said angrily as he charged towards Allen.
Allen laughed as he blocked all of Syaoran's moves.
"There's no way you're winning against me"
"You're going to pay…you killed my father, Melody and Kenneth and you
tried to take Sakura away from me…I'm going to
make sure you die!"
Syaoran said as he sent a quick blow towards Allen and Allen fell to the ground. Syaoran looked down at him with anger in his amber-colored eyes.
"Not so tough now are we?"
He said. Allen then gave an evil smirk and stood up quickly, dropping Syaoran to the ground.
"I'm not finished quite yet"
He said as he broke into a run. Syaoran, not giving up, stood
up quickly and ran right after him…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura looked down from the window in the tower and saw Syaoran chasing after someone. She couldn't see who the person he was chasing after was. They then ran into a small shed and Sakura felt fear overcome her body. It was that same uneasy feeling she had back at the garden and it was back, stronger then ever. She kept her eyes on the shed, hoping and wishing for Syaoran to get out of there at that moment. Seconds turned into minutes and the fear continued to grow inside her body. And then…she saw it.
A loud explosion noise filled her ears as she saw the shed being enveloped by flames. She looked down at the burning shed; feeling completely paralyzed. Tears welled up in her eyes as her body began to shake uncontrollably…
"SYAORAN!!!"
She screamed out as she continued to watch the flames engulf the small shed with Syaoran inside it. Then, she fell into a world of darkness…
