Hurt of love, reborn as an
Angel
Chapter three
Wuen Fai: Women are demons! – A deep, stern voice echoed in
the great room. Pacing back and forth in the royal hall, Wuen Fai, the supreme
ruler of Vulkia, grumbled around exasperated.
Touya: What do you mean by this, your majesty? – One of his
most loyal men asked smirking, while assigning some documents. He allowed
himself the little grin only because he knew that the King was in a pretty good
mood. And also because the could be considered the monarch's best friend.
Wuen Fai: It's this damn Amamiya! She was able to pinpoint
exactly where and how many murderers we sent in her dangin' castle, AGAIN! She
must have some sort of men detector, there's just no other way to figure this,
heck! – He threw his arms in the air in annoyance. Touya closed his eyes and
shook his head, still with a smirk plastered on his face.
Touya: Well, how about you change you tactic, your majesty?
Instead of killer men, sending something else? – He asked, calmly. The King
stopped, and scratched his chin. He smiled devilishly, in a fashion that mean
rather that he was going to have some fun.
Wuen Fai: You know Kinomoto, I just had an idea… Call my
sons! – He shouted to one of his servants. He bowed formerly, and went out of
the room to call Xiao Lang and Kwaai Wo.
Vulkia.
An imposing country, ruled by men. A land in which you
needed to be strong to survive, coldhearted to live, and even cruel if you
wanted to be respected. A place dominated by one of the most powerful of all
male sorcerers, Wuen Fai Li. Harsh and severe, he wasn't nearly as loved as the
great Queen in Tiehlek. Respected and feared, the King was rather known for his
endless hatred towards women.
No one knew why he hated the females of his kind so much.
Despising the ground where a woman had stepped on, refusing to even look at
something a woman touched. Whenever a female name came to his ears in any
slightly positive way, he cringed and declared that the one who said was
accused of treason. Not even his two sons, Princes Xiao Lang and Kwaai Wo, were allowed to pronounce any word in
favor of women.
Never ending questions about his past surrounded Wuen Fai
unanswered. He repudiated irritably any inquiry about his wife. Yes, he once
had a wife. Everyone who knew him back then, told that he had been happy. Truly
happy. The kind of happiness you only feel when you are in love. Not the
momentary, fake happiness that is felt after winning a gory war. He once was
able to love, and yet now seemed like he was a totally and completely different
person.
The nowadays most despised being in Wuen Fai's eyes had
once been loved dearly by him, and nobody but the King himself knew why all of
a sudden he started to hate them fiercely.
Kwaai Wo: Father, did you call us? – Kwaai Wo approached
his father bowing respectfully, followed closely by his younger brother Xiao
Lang. Kwaai Wo was nineteen, and Xiao Lang was sixteen years old.
Like the King himself, both of the males had chestnut brown
hair. They looked actually very much alike, soft brown locks falling slightly
unruly above their eyes. Well shaped body, thanks to the unending martial arts
training, and all of them with powerful magic. However, as soon as one saw
their eyes, everything changed.
Kwaai Wo, as well as his father, had dark, cold eyes. They
had a ruby color, or should I say blood red? Shooting vicious glares at anyone
without any apparent ground when in a bad mood, they held venom enough to make
you feel like running away. They were icy, obstinate and even evil.
Xiao Lang's eyes were warm. They had a beautiful amber
color, that was his mother's last gift for him. His 'windows to the soul' were
the only ones that didn't freak anyone out just by looking at them. Actually,
any woman would get lost in them easily, that if there were any women to look
at them. However, even if he was warmer and kinder by heart, Xiao Lang had been
trained to hate females as well.
Wuen Fai: Yes, my sons. Time has passed, and our most
odious enemy slowly grew to be very powerful. Amamiya's kingdom is constantly
getting stronger, and I think it will be wise if we put an end to that. I have
decided to invade and take the female's country over. It was proved that her
land is rich with gold indeed, even if the fools that there live still say that
it doesn't. – Wuen Fai's deep voice once echoed in the hall again, dripping
with loathing. The two Princes listened intently.
Wuen Fai: Before attacking, I also decided that I will send
three of my best men as spies into her castle. They shall discover and reveal
the secrets of an ancient orb that protects Tiehlek. Without the magical globe,
the Queen will lose a big part of her powers, and with this we will be able to
defeat her. – He looked at his sons intently, awaiting their reaction. They
stared back without flinching, knowing exactly whom he was talking about.
Xiao Lang: So Kwaai Wo, I and somebody else will enter the
female's palace. I see, but how? – Xiao Lang asked, furrowing one brow in
question. To his surprise, the King smirked broadly, visibly very amused.
Wuen Fai: I'm almost sorry for you, but you three will have
to do something utterly humiliating. As ridiculous as it may sound, you will
have to go dressed as women. – He answered with a laugh. Xiao Lang's and Kwaai
Wo's eyes turned to dots, and they sweatdropped.
Wuen Fai: Well, there is of course a ground for this.
Unfortunately, the women in Tiehlek learned their lesson too well, and the
country is extremely well guarded and protected. To gain the female's trust is
the least you must do, to make them reveal the secrets of that globe for us.
And to gain a female's trust, you have to be a female yourself. – Wuen Fai
explained, a smirk still planted on his lips. Xiao Lang and Kwaai Wo sighed
anime style, despite the fact that this was really an important mission.
Kwaai Wo: Fine, father… Who is going with us? – Kwaai Wo
tried to push the other thought aside, shuddering unconsciously at the totally
mortifying idea of dressing up like a female.
Wuen Fai: After analyzing the situation, I chose as your
partner Hiiragizawa. He trained very hard under Kinomoto's supervision, and I
do believe that his powers are almost as great as yours, Xiao Lang. – Holding
back a growl, Xiao Lang fought hard against the grunt that kept wanting to
come. He never really liked that Hiiragizawa guy, and he didn't believe him to
be trustworthy. But he remained silent, as it was his father's choice, not his.
Wuen Fai: Now let's get you three some accessories! I'm
sorry to disappoint you, but nobody in here is going to dress you up – you
shall do it as you want! – Wuen Fai grinned, obviously totally pleased with
this idea. Kwaai Wo scowled, and Syaoran crossed his arms in annoyance. These
next few hours were going to be long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was walking distractedly around the castle,
remembering the story that her mother had told her the day before. So she had a
brother? A brother… Could he be alive? After Nadeshiko's powerful attack? She
had been able to lower its speed with the last bit of magic she had, but still…
Her thoughts were interrupted when she suddenly heard… A
door talking? No, she shook her head, it was someone behind the door, inside a
room that habitually kept closed. But who?
She put an ear on the door, leaning on it carefully. She
wasn't usually the one to eavesdrop, but something about that voices alarmed
her sixth sense or something, they were so unusually… deep…?!
There were at least three people talking, and they were
whispering. A not very uh, whispered whisper, but at least they tried to sound
like they were whispering.
"Ouch, damn it!! How do they get into this kind of
junk anyway?!" "Shut up, or someone might listen us, dang it!"
"Shhh!" "I'm the boss here, so will you two finally keep
quiet?!" "Then at least help me wit this- OW!!"
"Shhh!!" "This wasn't my fault!" "Will you least shout
quietly?!" "Help me, instead of laughing!" "Right, let's
help him…" "And stop snickering, you!" "Ack, this wig
tingles…" "Shhh!" "Ugh, this thing is too little!!"
"Heh, I think you're getting fat…"
Sakura couldn't help but giggle. Whatever they were talking
about, she decided to help. Knocking gently on the door, she cleared her
throat.
Sakura: Um, excuse me… I accidentally heard some, uh sounds, from inside of a room
usually kept closed, and…. Well, are you having some kind of trouble? – She
asked them, softly. The response didn't come immediately, instead she heard
those half whispers and some additional grunts, but finally, someone said that
they weren't able to open the door anymore. Sakura stifled another fit of
giggles.
"Lame excuse, Hiiragizawa…" "Well why didn't
you say something then?!" "Shut up!!"
Suddenly, the door was flung open, and the three only
three-quarters done 'women' sweatdropped. Sakura stood in front of them,
smiling cheerfully with her eyes closed. When she opened them again, she met a
quite somewhat awkward scene.
Kwaai Wo was holding a brown wig in his left hand, and a
pink lipstick in the other. He seemed like he was having MAJOR problems with
his makeup, while Xiao Lang's and Eriol's looked quite all right. He wore a
scandalously bright red dress, that hugged tightly every… Well, he had no
curves, so let's say forms. Also, he had two dazzlingly green earrings on and a
ribbon tangled helplessly in his massy hair.
Eriol had a midnight blue wig on his head, that thankfully
didn't look too false. His makeup was more casual too, as well as his dress,
that was baby blue. However, the flashing neon pink necklaces and tiara were
kinda out of style here. He was just helping Syaoran with his wig, but as he
noticed Sakura's gaze shifting from him to the wig, he quickly his it behind
his back.
Syaoran was having quite some trouble with the high heels
of his shoes, that were also too small for his feet. While Eriol tried to fixing
his wig, he was desperately trying to find a way how to hang those glittery 'things'
around his neck. Truly, he had no idea what they were for. He was wearing a
beige dress, but his one was rather frilly, remembering Sakura a little of
Tomoyo's crazy outfits.
Sakura's gaze suddenly rested upon Xiao Lang, and she
giggled. Xiao Lang stared back at her, a little nervous. He wasn't really
confident that this whole 'believe me, I'm a girl' thing would work. But
according to his father, the Queen had never allowed her daughters to even see
men, so it wouldn't be much of a trouble to trick the two. As long as they
didn't get caught by Amamiya, everything would go swiftly and they would have
the information in no time at all.
The older Prince eyed her suspiciously and almost afraid,
what if she had discovered them?! This strange noise she just made, could it be
some sort of code-speech, so that the other females found them here?! It was
almost like a laughter, but it was in a higher tune and kinda-
Sakura: Do you need help? – Sakura's sweet voice cut Kwaai
Wo's thoughts, and he involuntarily sighed in relief. No, she had no idea they
were men.
Xiao Lang: Eh- wha- what? – Xiao Lang stuttered nervously.
There was something about this girl that made him feel uneasy. She simply
smiled, and kneeled in front of him to look at his face. He had no idea what
kind of spell she was putting on him, but he felt his cheeks beginning to burn.
Sakura took the sparkly ornament he was trying to put
around his throat, namely a necklace, and happily put it on. During the process
she almost threw her arms around his neck as well, adding some nice hot colors
to his face. He simply couldn't explain what the hack was going on.

Lenna: - relieved
breath – Good, we were able to make them meet and
actually made Syaoran blush! ^.^
Nelly: We kind of figured out that people would hunt
us down if we didn't put at least a little bit of S+S in here…! ^.^'
Lenna: Hey, but understand, we couldn't just make Syaoran
pop up out of the nothing!
Kyra: In the next chapter, some more S+S and also
finally the T+E! Tomoyo and also another person meet the three 'mysterious
young ladies'!
