Chapter 6: Explanations

*~*~*~* Sakura's POV:

As soon as the light died down, I saw a young man about the age of Syaoran holding a girl who appeared to about the same age as Tomoyo and me. Once I was over the shock of their entrance, I realized that the girl was Sage, my sister, and the guy was the one that I had seen a few days ago.

"What are you doing with her?! And who are you?!" I demanded

"He's after her power!" He looked at me with what looked like sincere concern, "You have to help her, she's your sister!"

"How do you know that?!" Syaoran had his sword out, in a stance of protection next to Yue, who was also ready to fight.

"I am Diov. The man after her is the one who raised me. I know all about what he wants to do and who everyone is. Long story! You have to help her! She doesn't know anything, and her powers have surfaced!" He looked me in the eyes and I saw desperation and…love? there.

"Why is she out?" Tomoyo eyed him menacingly.

"Ispep's damn fairy. She saw me turn around and went to tell Ispep. We ran, I had to get her as far away as I could. She passed out from running so hard, so I picked her up and continued on. When I felt that I was close enough, I teleported the rest of the way." He explained, clearly worried about Sage.

"You must rest then." I pushed Yue and Syaoran out of the way. 'Why was he in front of me instead of Eriol? Aren't I to marry Eriol?'

"No, I can't. He's looking for me. I'll leave her here and take off, get him off her trail." He set her down on the ground and started off.

I went to stop him, but Syaoran put a hand on my shoulder, stopping me. I looked at him, confused and saw respect reflected in his eyes.

*~*~*~* Syaoran's POV:

As Diov disappeared, Sakura came up to me and thanked me for trying to protect her when the two showed up. Yue walked back to the others.

I took her hand and smiled at her in response. 'Why couldn't mother have me engaged to Sakura?! Well, before I'm really married, maybe I should…tell her how I feel…'

"S-Sa-Sakura?" I stuttered.

"Yes, Syaoran?" She looked at me with disappointment written all over her face. I figured that it was because Diov took off.

"I…just wanted to tell you…before everyone's all married…that…I…wish I were…to marry…you." I choked out, not looking at her expression, in fear of seeing disgust.

Instead she said, "I love you too, Syaoran." Then she reached up and kissed my cheek. I then turned to her and looked into her eyes. What I saw there wasn't disappointment in Diov's leaving, but disappointment in the fact that she had to marry Eriol.

*~*~*~* Eriol's POV:

As I sat with Tomoyo, watching over Sage, I saw the kiss Sakura gave Syaoran. 'Why couldn't her parents marry her off to someone she truly loves?'

"She's starting to stir. I wish I had my camera!" Tomoyo whispered to me a little while later. (The camera is operated by magic. ^-^)

"Why are you whispering? And why?" I whispered back.

She pointed to the two now sitting at the edge of the clearing, talking.

"Wh-Where am I?" Sage sat up, "Where is Diov? Who are you?" She was looking at me.

"I'm Eriol." I quietly introduced myself, "And try to be quiet, please. Your sister is busy having a heart to heart talk with her true love. And soon you will meet Yue and Ruby, they are off talking and looking at the moon at the moment."

Tomoyo told her what happened to Diov and what he had said while I added small details Tomoyo forgot. 'Tomoyo…what a pretty name…'

*~*~*~* Tomoyo's POV:

"So…I'M a p-princess?!" Sage looked at me as if I were insane.

"Yes." I said again, firmly, "And Sakura is your twin sister. The Queen and King of the Kinomoto Kingdom are your parents."

"But then why did I grow up the way I did?" She was skeptical.

"We don't know. But we are guessing that Diov does." Eriol answered.

At that time Sakura and Syaoran walked over to the three of us. Syaoran had his arm around Sakura's waist and Eriol didn't look shocked, like I expected him to.

"How are you, Sage?" Sakura looked at her blue eyed twin.

"I-I'm fine." Sage had awe written all over her face.

Sakura extracted herself from Syaoran's grip and kneeled next to her sister, looking her straight in the eye. "Do you know who I am? And who you really are?"

Sage met her gaze with just as much strength, "Yes. I know who you are. I'm still not quite sure who I am, though." She broke eye contact.

"Don't worry, that will happen in time. First, we need some information that only you can provide about who we are getting ready to fight." Sakura rested a gentle hand on Sage's shoulder.

"Kawaii!" I whispered under my breath.

"I can't help you. I don't have any idea of what your talking about." Sage frowned. As soon as Sage finished, a nearby tree quickly reached out, grabbed Sakura and pulled her into its boughs before anyone could react and help her.
