Seiryuu: The Mirror of Mystery
Chapter 15
"Hi." I greeted back.
'she's so beautiful...' I thought. Tomoyo had a fair skin that matched her deep-
blue eyes and long black hair that flowed like water. She was wearing a turtle-
necked, scarlet robe(the type that sorceresses always wear) that was bound by a
golden belt. Finally, around her neck, she wore a fist-sized, round amulet with a
carving of a dragon on it and it was made of gold.
"how are your wounds?" she asked me.
I looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "wounds? what wounds? I don't remember
having wounds."
She sat on the bed and took my left arm. "this wound." she said, showing me that
my arm was bandaged from the shoulder to the wrist, "it was a pretty big slash."
She put down my arm and I answered, "better, I guess, I don't feel it aching so
much."
"that's good" she said, then faced Eriol, "you better rest as well...your wound
is yet to be healed. He was pretty stubborn about seeing you Sakura." she smiled
at me with a wink.
Eriol slowly stood up and smiled, "you rest well, Sakura."
"you too."
The two of them slowly walked away and left. I was alone with my thoughts again.
How I hated that. It made me think about Syaoran and how..... ... I can't bear it.
I missed him so much. He may have sometimes acted coldy around me but I knew deep
inside that he was a good person...'such a grave blow..' I thought.
Three days have now passed. I was now allowed to walk around the room. Eriol and
Tomoyo often visited me together and kept me company at times but there was a person
who was always there. Her name is Rika. She is the same height as me and has a
short, bobbed hair. She is the personal maid of Tomoyo but even if she's only a
maid, she acts very elegantly.
"ello, miz Zakura." Rika greeted with her odd accent(I forgot to tell you that
she comes from Wilfrid. She said that people in Wilfrid have an accent like that)
as she entered my room. It was still early morning.
"hello Rika.. you have a basket with you! where are you going?" I asked.
She looked at me and smiled. "I am going to ze market place. Zer ar many beautiful
flowerz zer for you, madam."
"the market you say? ohh! I'l love to go there! can I come?"
Rika frowned. "I zon't know if ze miztrez vill allow it zough..."
Soon enough, I got dressed up and went with Rika. I asked permission from both
Tomoyo and Eriol, since Tomoyo urged me to tell him where I was going. But they
allowed me anyway on a condition that I would only be called Lady Sakura, not
your highness...that was easy enough.
The market, as it always is everywhere, was a busy hive. It wasn't so crowded
but it was pretty tight it some places. Soon enough, I forgot all about the
heat and the crowd as we reached the flower shop. There were many different and
beautiful flowers there.
"Ah, good morning Rika." a tall, handsome man greeted us. He was a bit older
than us(I could tell) and he had a nice brown hair.
I smiled at him and smiled even more when I saw Rika blush.
"Oh! you-" I nudged her a bit in the ribs, she almost called me 'your majesty'.
"I mean, Lady Zakura, zis is mizter Terada, ze shop keeper."
"I'm pleased to meet you." I said.
"the pleasure's all mine." he replied, taking my hand and kissing it.
I giggled. "It seems that there's more to you than a pretty face." I told him.
"thank you for the complement" he said, "what can I get you now?"
We stayed in the shop for almost and hour. Rika and I giggled as Mr. Terada
kept us entertained, even when there was another customer. Rika obviously
liked him and he seems to like her too. I think they were a nice couple.
After getting some Honeysuckles, Cornflowers and Irises, we went back into
the mansion. Tomoyo immediately snached me away from Rika and gave me a tour
of her mansion. We visited lots of places like the kitchen, which looked like
it could serve a thousand guests with all those stoves; the bedrooms, some
of which(especially Tomoyo's) were as big as houses and exotically decorated;
the ballroom and many other rooms that I can't remember because of their mere
number. But to summarize it all up, Tomoyo's house was VERY big and _VERY_
beautiful.
By mid-afternoon, we had tea and lunch - and what a lunch that was! There
was roast lamb and other exotic foods that I didn't recognize or know. There
was all sorts of sweet deserts too! There was so many dishes that I thought
that I couldn't eat until dinner. But I was wrong. When dinner came, the food
prepared was so attractive that I couldn't help but eat. After dinner, the
three of us sat by the large living room, on the very comfy sofa, before the
fireplace.
"this is so wonderful!" I said.
"I can say that too!" Eriol smiled, "after many days of travelling, we finally
have luxury."
"oh! didn't you travel via camel through the desert?" she asked.
I gasped. "how did you know that?"
Tomoyo smiled at me. "Eriol told me. Besides, you can't hide any secrets from
an enchantress." she told me.
For the rest of the night, I kept quiet while Tomoyo and Eriol talked and talked
only when I was called upon. I became scared of where I was. When we went to bed,
I was still uncomfortable.
'can't hide any secrets from an enchantress'
Her words echoed in my mind. 'Can't I really?' I asked myself, ''oh come on!
what secret have you got to hide?'' a voice inside me replied.
My thoughts stopped and I became more calm. There was a point there. What
secret DO I have to hide after all? there was nothing, really.....
"Sakura?" a musical voice piereced though my thoughts. I knew at once that it
was Tomoyo.
I rose from my bed and sat. It was Tomoyo alright, and she was standing by the
door. "yes?"
She walked closer to me. "Tomorrow, I ask you to go to the library with Rika.
It's quite far but not too far from here. Will you go?"
I thought about it for a while. "okay." I answered. I should be safe enough
with Rika.
"good." she said, "Someone is there. That person don't know that you are coming
or knows that you are here. He won't wait for you so I suggest that you leave
early in the afternoon. Good night then." she walked away and closed the door
behind her before I could say 'good night' as well.
"someone is waiting?" I muttered.
My heart beat suddenly became fast. 'What if she was going to give me to those
people who want my pendant??' I asked myself. ''She wouldn't! you're Eriol's
friend!''
My heart skipped a beat.
'what if they were together in this? Syaoran didn't seem to trust him when
they met. What if all those things about being a Chosen One was a lie?'
