Chapter 9 – Departures

The morning was filled with serenity everything was peaceful, Nevertheless all of the citizens knew of the upcoming war, at first, everyone panicked, but after the messengers guaranteed the people their safety, everyone calmed down.

[The palace]

The soldiers were now getting ready for their departure; some courtiers were leaving to seek for protection some place far from the Forbidden City. As for our sweet lovers...

"Sakura please take care of yourself I don't want to return knowing that something might happen to you" Syaoran said with a comforting sound of his voice.

Sakura turned away knowing that they can't be together, and there may be a possibility that Touya or Yue might take her back to Japan during the war, or Touya might defeat Syaoran and abuse him, or maybe Touya would simply kill Syaoran since he is the heir to the throne.

"Don't worry Syaoran, I promise I'll take good care of myself" Sakura said faking a smile

"Are you sure?" Syaoran asked

"Of course after all I have Yue" Sakura said 'Yue is well-known back home'

Syaoran sighed, and then he pulled Sakura to a passionate kiss, which Sakura gladly returned. Then a strong wind blew making cherry blossoms shower upon them.

[In Tomoyo's room]

Tomoyo sighed "and they just got together" she said 'and who knows they might return back to Japan during the war'

"I agree" replied another person in the room, which is Eriol.

Tomoyo and Eriol was just saying their farewells when Tomoyo suddenly asked about them.

"Sakura was so sad about the war last night," Tomoyo said

"She was the first person Syaoran fell in love" Eriol said

"I wish I can do something to help" Tomoyo said

Eriol was just about to reply when Syaoran came to the door.

"Hey Eriol let's get going" Syaoran said then he turned to Tomoyo " Take care of yourself "

"Go on, I'll just catch up" Eriol replied 'I haven't finished with my angel' [Eriol's so sweet]

Syaoran raised an eyebrow " Sure" he simply replied

"Well Tomoyo take care of yourself I truly hope I'll see a sweet smile from you when I return" Eriol said then he leaned towards Tomoyo then gave her a sweet kiss on the lips. "Well see ya" Eriol said before leaving

"he kissed me" Tomoyo murmured

"What was that all about?" Syaoran asked

"I wanted to say goodbye, you know" Eriol replied

"Yeah whatever" Syaoran said

"Touya please take care of everything," Fujitaka said

"Don't worry Otousan" Touya replied

"And if you have any chance to get Sakura, please do so" Fujitaka said

"I understand" Touya replied

"Sir what would we do if ever they ask for a peace talk?" Yukito asked

"Touya will know how to deal with them" Fujitaka replied

"Sir we are ready to leave" the general said

"Well Otousan please take care of yourself," Touya said

"Same to you" Fujitaka replied

Touya and Yukito bowed then left

"Mistress we should get going" Yue said

"Just a sec" Sakura replied

"Sakura hurry up the army's about to leave" Tomoyo said

Sakura quickly run to the palace gate with Tomoyo while Yue just sighed followin them. Sakura and Tomoyo waved at Syaoran and Eriol. After the army left, the trio went back to their rooms to get their bags.

"Mistress I believe you have grown an attachment to the prince you know that's forbidden" Yue said while they were walking towards their carriage.

Sakura sighed "I know Yue, but still..." Sakura replied

"I understand mistress" Yue said
