Chapter 3: Plans and Surprises
*~*~*~* Third Person POV:
Evil Dude's Place
"Arukas! Report!" A deep, resounding voice commanded.
Instantly the fairy that had been following the girls appeared, "The Kinomoto Princess knows about her sister, but her sister doesn't know about her. All Sage knows is that the people she grew up with are not really her parents, hehe."
"Good. The old couple did a good job. They can live for now, in case we need them again. Hahahahaha…!" The voice laughed evilly, "Arukas, take Diov out and introduce him to the girl. Oh, and then go tell the old couple that their son is still alive and is serving me grandly." He laughed again.
*~*~*~* Sage's POV:
After I talked to the two girls on the road, I knew somehow that they were following me. I just brushed it off that they were headed the same way I was, hundreds of people went this way every week.
A few mornings later, I was stopped by yet another person. This time it was a young man that appeared to be 17 or 18.
"Miss. Are you Sage?" He asked.
"Who wants to know?" I retorted.
"My Master," he calmly replied, "He has something for you. He sent me to find you."
"Who are you?" I asked, ever cautious.
"I am Diov, loyal servant of my lord, Telracs." He bowed slightly to me.
'Why does his name sound familiar? Oh well, I have nowhere else in mind. Why not?' I decided to go with him.
*~*~*~* Sakura's POV:
"What is she doing?!" I whispered to Tomoyo when Sage started to go off with some boy who had approached her, "I don't like him. He has a bad aura."
"Come on, Sakura. We can tell your mother what we found and then work from there. Anyways, I have to go back home in a few days." Tomoyo whispered back to me and I agreed with her.
*~*~*~* Sage's POV:
'I wonder if those two other girls really were following me, or if they were watching me until he came along. Well, I guess I'll never know.' I thought to myself while walking in silence with Diov.
That night, while we were setting up a small campsite, I studied him from head to foot. He appeared to be about 5'10". His sandy brown hair tumbled over his forehead, almost into his chilling ice blue eyes. Because of the heat, he had his shirt off, showing his strongly defined chest and back muscles. He had on a pair of off-white pants tucked into dark brown boots. Kawaii!!!
After everything was set, he got a couple fish while I caught a couple rabbits for dinner and ate. During dinner, he told me about how when he was about ten, his parents sold him into slavery because they couldn't pay for his food and clothes. (A story he rehearsed several times until he had it memorized before he left. ^-^) He then told me how, when he was still with his parents, they would ignore him and leave him to take care of himself or die.
'At least he didn't have parents tell you they were your true parents for 16 years and then, one day, tell you that they found you in the middle of the night, abandoned.' I thought of the people who had raised me.
"So, why are you traveling, and what about your childhood?" He asked me when he finished with his story.
*~*~*~* Tomoyo's POV:
Once Sakura and I made it back to the Kinomoto Castle via magic, it was the day that I was to leave. When we got there, my mother was waiting for us, and a smile a mile long spread across her face.
"Mother?" I asked, I hadn't been expecting her to be here.
"My dear, Tomoyo." Her smile grew even more, if that was possible, "I couldn't wait to tell you the news. I also wanted to tell my friend Nadeshiko."
"I knew something was up then, she wouldn't have rushed all the way here without something huge to report, "Yes, mother? What news could possibly be so important?"
"You are now engaged to Prince Syaoran, of the Li Kingdom!" Her eyes became stars.
"WHAT?!?" I asked, almost speechless.
"Yes. We have everything all arranged, even the date! Oh, you are gong to make the best bride yet!" She obviously took my distaste as happiness.
"And, Sakura, dear." Sakura's mother had the same gigantic smile as my mother, "Tomoyo is not the only one engaged! You're engaged to Prince Eriol, Prince of the Hiiragizawa Kingdom!"
Sakura just passed out, while my mouth hung open in complete and total surprise. Sakura and I had met these two princes one time a few years ago, and we were hoping that I would marry Eriol and she Syaoran…how could it be otherwise?
