Chapter 8 – Critical moments

"Ca.. can you repeat what you just said?" Sakura asked nervously

"Japan is declaring war on us?" Eriol repeated

"No time for chit & chat, come on let's talk to mother," Syaoran said pulling Sakura to the direction of the throne room with Eriol following behind

[In the throne room]

"I can't believe this, why is Japan declaring war on us?" Syaoran demanded

"The prince found the spy we commanded to kill the prince" one of the advisers spoke

"I knew we shouldn't have trusted that man," the general said

As Sakura was watching the argument, she couldn't help but think why they planned on killing her brother, but all her thoughts were disturbed when Yelan spoke

"Would everyone please calm down" Yelan said in calm voice

Everyone was silent, "What do you plan on doing next?" Syaoran said destroying the silent

"General, get the army we don't have any choice but to fight" Yelan said

"Right away" the general said then left

"The rest of you advisers, devise a plan on how to fight the Japanese" Yelan ordered

"All you courtiers, find a safe place to stay"

The advisers and courtiers' left, Sakura waved at Syaoran who just nodded in reply

"What about us?" Eriol asked

"The two of you will join the war and if you can have a peace talk please try to discourage them to fight that is all"

Eriol and Syaoran left

"Sir we have organized all of our men here all we need to do is get them ready" the general said to Touya

"Very well please get them ready at once" Touya replied

"I understand" the general replied

Touya breathe in the fresh sea water 'this is going to be rough'

"Ne, Yuki have you sent a letter to Yue or Sakura telling them to return back here or have you asked them to find a safe place to stay while they're there" Touya asked

"I sent a letter to both of them asking them to be careful while they're there or if they want to come home they will have to write back at once so we can send an escort" Yukito replied

"That's good" Touya replied

~*~

"Sakura, you have a letter from your brother" Tomoyo said handing Sakura the letter

'I hope it brings good news' Sakura prayed while opening the letter

Sakura,

We are sorry to tell you, but the enemy tried to kill your brother so we can't help but declare war on China, if ever you are planning to stay please find a safe place and stay with Yue,, or if you want to come home please write at once so we can send an escort.

Yukito

Sakura dropped the letter in shock, 'Why would China want to kill my brother?' Sakura thought

"So what does it say?" Tomoyo asked nervously

"It's true that China wanted to kill my brother" Sakura said 'but a war won't stop me from loving Syaoran'

Tomoyo froze 'so it's true what those advisers talked about' "so what is your reply?" Tomoyo asked

"I'll tell them I'll stay and I'll ask them to please take care" Sakura replied

"Mistress?" one of Sakura's chambermaid knocked

Sakura stood up "What is it?" Sakura asked

"You have a visitor" the maid replied

Sakura opened the door, revealing the maid and Yue "Thank you and please find a safe place" Sakura said to young maid "Yes mistress" the maid replied before leaving.

"Please come in Yue" Sakura said

Yue nodded at Sakura then bowed slightly at Tomoyo, which Tomoyo returned with a smile.

"I came here to ask about your reply" Yue said straightly

"I'll stay" Sakura replied

"I understand, then please come to Daidouji's home with me and Daidouji's daughter" Yue replied

"With me?" Tomoyo asked

"Yes with you are also my responsibility since you are my mistress' cousin" Yue replied

"Fine I'll go" Sakura replied

"I think I must go home too after all that is my home" Tomoyo replied

"Fine then can you please start packing some of your stuff I'll be coming tomorrow to take you back to Daidouji's home" Yue said

"Why tomorrow? Why not now?" Sakura asked

"I must reply to your brother at once" Yue replied

"I understand" Sakura said

"Fine then I should be leaving now" Yue said walking out the door

Sakura sighed deeply
