Yours Forever, Syaoran: Chapter 5
"Princess Sakura, you husband's carriage is coming." Prince Yamazaki called. The entire kingdom, it seemed, was waiting in the grand ball room for the visit of the two princes. The only ones NOT present were Princess Sakura and Princess Tomoyo.
"Where are they? I was so sure that Princess Sakura would have wanted to see Prince Sya- OWW! Chiharu!" Chiharu nudged him in the side, then pointed at the grand stairs.
"Look, there they are!" And she was right. Arm-in-arm, Princess Sakura and Tomoyo were walking down the stairs, both looking quite pretty. Sakura wore a full-skirted, pearly white chiffon over creamy satin. The sleeves ended at the elbow, then gave a sort of cone-like effect as they grew outward toward her wrists. Pearly white slippers adorned her feet, and it was soon clear that Tomoyo had done everything, including her hair. She had braided two strands of hair from the sides of her head and pulled them back and captured them with a silver clip. To finish off the product, a silver tiara, studded with opals, was added. Tomoyo wore the same thing, except her dress was all purple, lavender and thistle. Both girls looked equally lovely, so it wasn't surprising that the whole kingdom was staring at them.
"Uh, so sorry we were late, but Tomoyo was working on my hair. Did you say that their carriage was coming?" Yamazaki nodded. Sakura smiled warmly at her people then practically ran to the grand doors, awaiting the arrival of Syaoran and Touya.
~~*~~
"NO!" A scream echoed through the dark and dense forest. It came from the cavern under the old mining shaft in the middle of the forest.
"THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! ARGHHHH!" Meilin's angry scream echoed again through the forest as she blasted a red fireball at the ceiling of the cave. Aka-hoshi jumped behind a log and cowered in fear.
"M-mistress Meilin! Please, s-stop! Screaming isn't going to accomplish anything!" he stammered toward the angry-and-growing-angrier Meilin Rae.
"HOW CAN I STOP? Delinia did not complete her mission! I specifically told her to stop that letter from getting to the Princess. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO, she had to go and get herself killed, and the letter was obtained by non other than the Princess of the Li Kingdom!" She screamed again, panting hard.
"M-Meilin!" Meilin shot him an angry glare.
"YOU SHOULDN'T BE SAYING ANYTHING, BAKA AKA-HOSHI! YOU HELPED KILL MY SWEET DELINIA!" She shook with rage. Aka-hoshi shook with fear. "AND NOW THE TWO STUPID PRINCES ARE HEADING TO THE LI KINGDOM! Kami-sama, Naraku is NOT going to be happy with ME -" A sudden bright flash of light emitted from the large stone basin set in the floor in the middle of the cavern. When the light faded away, a man in some sort of ceremonial robes stood before them, his long staff pointed at Meilin and Aka-hoshi, Meilin in particular. Meiln gasped and got down on her knees.
"N-Naraku! My lord Naraku!" She kept saying. Naraku cackled and lowered his staff.
"Meilin Rae, I thought you were queen of all warriors? How did your falcon, 'Delinia' get the letter to my lovely Princess Sakura, when I specifically said I did not want them to get it?" Meilin shivered.
"M-My lord, I'm so sorry. Delinia was a-a stupid, stupid bird, I should never have gotten her. I had been thinking of getting rid of her, but she's dead-" Naraku struck his staff on her back and she screamed. Naraku cackled.
"Delinia is not dead, she is here." He tapped his staff on the floor and the large falcon-raven type bird, Delinia, appeared in front of him, entrapped in some sort of glowing red orb. Meilin gasped.
"Delinia! Oh my poor, sweet-" She looked at Naraku, then backed up, cowering. He smirked.
"I thought you HATED Delinia? Or was I mistaken?" He positioned his staff above the glowing orb, getting ready to strike it.
"NO! DELINIA!" Naraku cackled and struck his staff, hard, on the orb. The bird screamed, a tear fell, then Delinia fell lifeless from the orb. Meilin screamed.
"DELINIA! HOW COULD YOU, NARAKU!" Naraku laughed harder, then struck his staff once more over the fallen bird, and it disappeared. Naraku finally stopped laughing and turned his back on Meilin who was staring at the spot Delinia had been, tears streaming down her face.
"Now that that problem is taken care of, let's get on to other business shall we? You must kill Prince Syaoran. I don't want the Janelians to do our dirty work anymore. You and another warrior must personally take Syaroan out, then you will kidnap Sakura and bring her here. My precious Sakura will be brainwashed and she and I shall rule this planet together." He gave a small sigh then turned back to Meilin, anger written all over her face.
"W-who's the other warrior?" She asked, still fixing Naraku with her death glare. Naraku glared back.
"His name is Azumamaro. He's a top warrior of the Finnegan Kingdom's army. He agreed to help me on one condition."
"Oh? And what was the condition?" Meilin asked, actually quite curious.
"The condition was that I give you to him." Meilin jumped, outraged.
"Lord Naraku, if I might say, I am in love with not him but another so you can not give me up to some......some brain dead idiot who wants a good fuck! If he wants a girl, let him get his own!" Naraku smirked, quite amused.
"Well, my sweet, it's either I give you to him, or I kill your precious Haruki. It's your decision." Meilin stared at him, horror written all over her face. She looked down at the floor and Naraku knew her answer.
"Very well. OUR decision has been made. Azumamaro will arrive at the crack of dawn tomorrow." Then he tapped his staff on the floor three times and disappeared. Meilin broke down, crying, Aka-hoshi, after all this time, finally crawled out from behind his log.
"Do not fret Meilin. I have a plan." Meilin looked at the little being and Aka-hoshi could have sworn he saw a tiny hint of a smile on her face before she lowered her head in her hands and answered with a simple "What?". Aka-hoshi smiled then began to tell his plan.
"We will seek revenge."
~~*~~
"Chiharu, what time is it?" Sakura asked. The sky had begun to darken, and the moon was just coming up. Tomoyo, Sakura, Chiharu, Yamazaki, and Eriol were the only ones outside, as the whole kingdom had decided to finally go home. Chiharu looked at her husband's watch them back up at Sakura.. She gave a tiny smile.
"Sakura-chan, don't worry. He'll be here. They both will."
"Yes I suppose......." Just as her words left her mouth, the soft clacking of horses was heard. The five teenagers looked toward the walkway, and the four guards that had been standing by the door stiffened. The carriage came into plain view and Sakura's face brightened as it came to a halt in front of them. The driver, looking hungry and tired with his heavy armor, stumbled down from his seat near the top and stood to open the door to the carriage.
"Hello, Princess Sakura, Tomoyo, Chiharu and Prince Eriol and Yamazaki." The driver said.
"Hello to you to." The five teenagers answered in unison. The driver gave a weak smile then collapsed onto Chiharu. Chiharu screamed.
"AHHH!! HE'S DEAD!"
"No, no Chiharu-chan. He's tired. Guards! Come and bring this man into the infirmary immediately." Sakura called. Two of the guards walked over to the fallen driver, picked him up, then walked inside. The remaining two guards went over to the carriage and opened the door. A young man with all-to-familiar and unruly chestnut hair stumbled out. Sakura's face lit up.
"S-Syaoran?" She asked timidly, as though afraid he may be an imposter. Syaoran smiled his warm and familiar smile and Sakura jumped into his arms.
"SYAORAN!! AHHH!!!" She cried. He smiled weakly at her.
"H-Hello, Sakura." She immediately jumped out of his arms and he collapsed onto her, as the driver had done to Chiharu. She set his head in her lap and played with his hair a little. Then one of the guards came over and lifted him from her lap, the other guard already heading inside with Touya. Sakura hadn't even gotten to see him and everyone was already heading inside.
"HEY WAIT FOR ME!!" She squealed, a little to happy. Tomoyo giggled then ran and ushered everyone else inside.
"Well, thanks a lot Tomoyo-chan." She grumbled then started to the infirmary.
"Dear Sakura-chan, you are overwhelmed with your husband being here and all, but you must let him rest. You may see him in the morning." She dragged Sakura to her room, much to her angry protests, and after about an hour, finally coaxed the cherry blossom to leave her husband alone and go to sleep. She took a short shower, changed, then went to bed.
"Good night Tomoyo-chan." She murmured. Kero smiled tiredly then snuggled into bed next to her. Tomoyo kissed the top of Sakura's head and fixed the blanket tighter around Sakura.
"Good night, dear Sakura-chan. Good night Kero-chan." Then she made her way out the door where, much to her surprise, Eriol awaited her, as he did every night.
~~*~~
Naraku sits on a throne of some sort somewhere in the forest, a glowing kind of orb floating in front of him. Beside him sat the reincarnated and brainwashed bird, Delinianna. Naraku smiled and stroked the orb affectionately. Inside the orb is the sleeping figure of Sakura with Kero snuggled into her arms.
=In the Orb=
"Good night Kero-chan." Sakura murmured.
"Good night Sakura-chan." Kero murmured back. Then they both fell asleep.
=Back to Naraku=
"Good night, my sweet Sakura-chan. You will soon be mine and that will be me in your tender arms. You may count on that." Then he tapped the orb twice. White smoke filled it and it suddenly showed Syaoran in the infirmary. He spat at him.
"Syaoran, you will not have my dear Sakura-chan. She is the bearer of the heart that I need to rule this world. And she is MY beloved. Stay away, or else." Then he struck his staff upon the orb. The room in which Naraku sat faded to darkness, Delinianna, the orb and Naraku himself, gone.

Hey there peoplez! Some things must be said about the pronunciations and such in this chapter of the story:
+ Delinia is MY bird that I made up from another fantasy story I plan to write. You don't steal it. Her name is pronounced: Del-inn-EE-ya
+ Naraku is from Inu-yasha, so I must say that he is NOT mine, I am just using him 'cause I ran out of villainy names. His name is pronounced: Nu-rok-OO
+ Azumamaro is My warrior. Yes he is a stupid brain dead idiot who wants a good fuck - lol. His name is pronounced: Azz-oom-am-aru
+ Haruki is also MINE. In this story, he's Meilin's beloved and he loves her back. His name is pronounced as it is written.
+ Aka-hoshi is some stupid name I made up, meaning Red Evil, or something like that. He's mine, and he is a tiny tick-like bug that is neutral when it comes to the sides of good and bad. His name is pronounced as it is written,
+ Delinianna is the reincarnated version of Delinia. She is mean and untruthful and is on Naraku's side in this story. Her name is pronounced: Del-inn-EE-yan-Nu
More A/n: Oh and sorry for cursing. (You know the F*&^ thing), but my best friend was over at my house and she just typed that ENTIRE scene after I told her the character's personality and what-not.
And Yes, as many have been asking, Meilin and Aka-hoshi are planning on getting revenge from Naraku for killing Delinia. She was more than a bird, she was, in fact, Haruki's little sister, Seshana. Although I didn't type this in the story, that is what it is, so don't expect me to type it in the next chapter.
Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please R+R, I'd appreciate it. And check out my other stories. I'm currently working on a story called "Music of My Heart" and It's coming out soon. I'll give you a preview, but only if I get..............five reviews? Yeah, five reviews and I'll give you a preview of "Music of My Heart" at the end of my next chapter.
Well, until we meet again,
Sakura-chan
