The old king smiled at his sons farewell words, "Yes Touya, I dont wish to
see you too soon" he whispered to himself. Closing his eyes, King Fujitaka
prepared himself for his final concious moments. The end for him cam sooner
than he expected. A sharp knife drove from behind, biting the cruel flesh
around his neck, drawing the last blood. The king gave a faint sigh, then
collapsed lifeless on the bed.
"You'll see him sooner than expected 'King'" A cruel laugh echoed down the hall, a cold laugh that froze Touya in his stride.
Touya closed his eyes, trying to remember where he had heard that laugh before. He gave up when a speedball of a girl almost hit him, "Sakura?" Touya held the girl at an arms length, "What the hell? I thought you went to, that, boy?" As he spoke, three figures ran up behind Sakura.
"Sakura, who are they?" He asked, as he gestured towards Eriol and Tomoyo,
"They are friends of mine, Syaoran's fine, Mother healed him and she scared off the intruders too!" Sakura explained in one fast sentence.
"Slow down Sakura. MOTHER? Are you sure it was her? " He eyed Sakura suspiciously.
"No time to explain Touya. Wheres Father? "
"Up there Sakura, but I dont think its a good idea to go up there now."
"Why not? Whats wrong Touya?" Sakura's face twisted into an worried frown. "Touya?"
"He's dying Sakura."
"Then I have to see him."
Sakura pushed past Touya and ran up the stairs to her fathers room. She gasped at the sight before her and ran to her fathers side.
"Father? FATHER!!" Sakura couldnt bear to look, and yet couldnt drag her eyes away.
"Sakuriee, Honey." Strong arms grabbed her from behind and held her fast. Sakura didnt struggle. She screamed. The male behind her struck her down and clamped his hand over her mouth.
"Shut up or I'll kill you."
Sakura just raised her eyebrows as if to say 'yeah, and?' Sir Toby (surprise surprise?)slapped her, bringing tears to the girls eyes.
"Dont move or I'll slice your bloody head off." Sir Toby froze, cool metal rested lightly against his neck. "Good boy, now let go of the girl and stand up to face me."
The threatened male stood up and swung around slowly. "Well well well. If it isnt the prince, or should I say 'King'?" Touya's sword quivered, but didnt move away. Toby glanced behind the tall males back. "Well, if it isnt my two favourite actors. Syaoran and Eriol. Or should I say favourite traitors?"
Sakura had snuck around behind Toby's back. She stood next to Syaoran, clutching his shirt for comfort. Touya shook his heead at the slimeball before him.
"That wont work Toby. I should kill you right now. You killed the king. That is evidence enough to have you hanged."
Toby hung his head, his eyes closed as if in shame. A sly smile slid slowly onto his face. He opened his eyes as he raised his head. They were ebony, pure ebony. No light was reflected. Sakura tightened her grip on Syaorans shirt. He put an arm around her and drew her close.
"You can try Touya. But you shall fail." Toby laughed insanely and fell to his knees. His head was raised to the stars as he cackled with a devilish vegence. With a swift blade and accurate hand, the laughing subsided.
Touyas sword rested on the bed. "Lets leave. We can send the servants up later to clear this mess." Sakura nodded in agreement, glad to be out of the room in which her father and her stalker lay slain.
"May we never speak of this again." Touya wiped his sword on the sheets and put it back in its case. "To any body."
The group around nodded in meek agreement.
A/N sorry if this chapter SUCKED. I am kinda bored with this story. Should I still continue?
