A Little Lost

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS though I wish I did
Summary: Sakura is a princess with a father who wants her to marry. Once she finds out about her former betrothed who disappeared years ago she makes up the excuse that she wants to find him, so she could avoid marriage. But what happens when she finds a cold fighter who looks just like the lost prince? S+S
He was selfish. He had always been that way. Perhaps it was because he always got what he wanted- one way or another. Perhaps it was because his father before him shouldn't have given him his heart's desires. For when ever he received something, he only yearned for something more. He indeed was a selfish man.
He strummed his fingers on his throne. Yes, he wanted something. Something he had yet to receive; or take. The Clow Cards, yes, he wanted the Clow Cards. Eleven years. He has waited for eleven years to have them.
He could of had them all those years ago, but right when they were to be his... They were taken away. Hidden from the world. And the person who hid it so well refused to give word of location.
The fool.
Yes, that fool paid dearly for that. Of course he lived. The king him needed to be alive if he were to take the Clow Cards. Yes... and so for eleven long years he waited for that fool to appear once again. This time that fool wouldn't live. No he wouldn't, not without telling the card's location. Then again, he would be killed if he tells. Either way, that fool was going to die.
That's what that fool gets for crossing a king as powerful as him.

"Hooray!" Sakura said as she jumped up, "We're at the town!"
Syaoran merely nodded and proceeded to enter the gates. Sakura eagerly followed. They wandered around for a few moments and then Syaoran stopped and asked, "Where are we going to stay for the night?"
"Should we look for an inn?" Sakura asked as she thought.
"Good idea. If I remember right, there should be one near by," Syaoran answered.
They soon spotted and went inside to get a room.
~Sakura's POV~
We walked inside to find a room. This inn must pull in a lot of money since there is a bar on the bottom floor. Then again, it's dirty and dank down here.
Syaoran walked up to the innkeeper and spoke to her. She is a relatively big woman. She looked as through she were middle aged. Syaoran spoke to her, though I couldn't really hear what they said since the visitors in the bar are so loud. They seemed to debating something until Syaoran pointed at me and the woman went to the backroom for a few moments. She came out holding a fancy dress. I don't really understand why she did that, but then again it isn't really my business.
She handed the dress to Syaoran along with another outfit. She told him something, and handed him a room key. He nodded and bowed back. Though, I can't help but wonder what does Syaoran need a dress for?
He walked over to me, "Here."
He handed me the dress.
"What do I need this for," I questioned.
"To wear of course," he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "I didn't have any money so I got her to let us work for a room and food. You're the new singer."
"HOE!?"
~End POV~
Sakura walked out of her room wondering how she got suckered into the job of a singer. Syaoran stood outside the room, "Took you long enough."
She looked at him. He wore a button up shirt with a black vest over it along with black pants to match.
"I look bad don't I?" Syaoran asked, "Well, you do what you have to do."
Sakura didn't think he looked bad. In fact she thought he looked much better. It was a big improvement to his baggy outfit he usually wore. Which consisted of a dark blue Chinese style shirt and pants. He was now washed and clean. Which was an improvement considering that neither them were able to wash themselves before today. After all, you can't exactly clean yourself while you travel.
As they walked down the stairs Sakura felt increasingly nervous, "Syaoran? Do I look ok?"
He glanced at her, "You look nice."
"What if I don't sound good!? I'm so nervous!"
"Don't worry," Syaoran said as they reached the bar, "I have to be the bartender for a while, so if you're nervous, remember that I'm right here.
"O-okay," Sakura replied as she walked to the stage.
The piano player glanced at her, "So you're the new singer eh? Well, choose a song to sing."
He gestured to a book filled with songs. Sakura ruffled through them until she saw the one she wanted. She held it up, "This one, please."
The pianist looked at it, "Hard one. Well, show the people what you got."
He then began to play the piano expertly.
Sakura slowly began to sing. (AN --; Sorry I can't italicize... My word program is broken...)
" Oh take me far away, and say that I can be your girl Then again and again take my everything My laughter, joys & tears of sorrows Do you feel me, Baby, I'm still longin' here for your touch And now I sing this song for you"
She felt the gazes of everyone in the room on her. She quickly focused her gaze to the bar counter. Syaoran stood behind it. He gave her a reassuring gaze.
"Because the wind which intertwines us will take it all away I want to run to you, and hear your voice But never, oh never, will I ever fulfill my wishes Even those certain things, which the eye cannot see Without even looking for them, my heart feels pain"
She kept her gaze on him and he kept his on her.
"Because even acting tough is lonely I never want to let your hand go There's only one thing I want
Would you notice? Would my song reach you? And would you listen again and again? You can't catch dreams and desires with only one hand Because I stumble, please support me from the side Feel it, please. Would these tears reach you? And would you hold me again and again Because no one else can dry them I'll always see only you Oh baby, now & forever"
She then sang her best, for Syaoran was watching her and for some reason she wanted to please him. See his approval.
"With eyes that seem crazed, with hands that seem spiked I want you to touch me soon There's only one thing I want
No more of your gentle lies Oh, never again Because I'm sure that I could never see through them I can't do anything more than believe you Notice me, and then, if my song reaches you Oh again and again Rekindle those days when we laughed and cried I'll always see only you Oh baby, now & forever"
He was watching silently. It was such a sad song, so sad. Yet, she sang it beautifully. He couldn't stop watching her. It was as though she were singing it for him and him alone.
"You'll notice, after I've passed you by And I'll be crying forever"
The room erupted into cheers. Sakura smiled relieved that it was over. She walked to the counter and smiled at Syaoran, "Was I okay?"
He seemed to be at a loss for words but then he gave her a small smile, "Okay? You were wonderful. You have a beautiful voice. It's a beautiful song, but it very sad. Where did you learn it?"
"A friend of mine would sing it. I asked her to teach it to me," Sakura answered as she felt wonderful. He not only approved of it, but he liked it!
"Really? Who is it?" Syaoran asked.
"Sheifa. Li Sheifa," Sakura answered with giving it much thought.
"Oh really?" Syaoran asked, "Well, that's interesting. I have to work more, you go do whatever you want."
Sakura nodded as she went back upstairs to the room. She walked into the room to find that both her and Syaoran's clothes had been washed. She smiled and was thankful she didn't have to change into dirty clothing.
Sakura walked down the stairs deciding she wanted to wait till Syaoran was done bartending. She wanted to explore the town, but her father had always warned her about going out place alone. As she entered the bar she headed to where Syaoran was bartending. Except, someone got to her first.
"Well, well, well. You're that singer," a man said grinning.
Sakura frown as she smells alcohol on his breath, "Um yes. I have to do something though..."
She walked past him, but he grabbed her arm, "Come now. I promise we'll have a good time."
"No! Now let me go!"
"I don't take no for an answer," the man said as he tightened his grip.
Sakura was terrified. She struggled against him hold, but she couldn't break free. She suddenly felt a hand on her waist. It pulled her back from the man's grasp and into a protective hold. She was about to scream until she heard a familiar voice say, "Do need anything?"
She looked up to see Syaoran. He held her in a protective embrace and glared at the man.
"We were just speaking," the man answered uneasily, "She's my girl."
"Is that so? Well I don't think that she's very happy with you. Especially since she is with me," Syaoran said as he glared at the man.
"Oh... Um... Sorry," the man muttered as he left.
Syaoran gazed down Sakura worriedly, "Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"
Sakura blushed as she realized he was still holding her waist, "N-no, I'm fine. Thank you..."
Syaoran soon realized that he was still holding her waist as well. He pulled his arm back, as though it were touching something disgusting, "Sorry..."
Sakura looked at the ground, hurt by his reaction, "It's okay..."
He nodded and walked off into another direction. Sakura frowned, 'Why should I care if he likes me or not? I'm on a quest! I'm enjoying what little freedom I have left!'
"Hello," a voice said interrupting her thoughts.
Sakura looked up to see the piano player staring at her. He smiled, "I'm Hideyuki."
Sakura bowed, "I'm Sakura."
He smiled again, "So, was that brown haired guy your boyfriend?"
Sakura reddened, "N-no! We just traveled together... to get here, well I mean that in a way that uh..."
Hideyuki laughed, "Ok I thing I get the drift. I just thought so. Since you two arrived together and after what happened."
"Oh, no we're just friends. Then again... maybe not even friends..." Sakura said sadly.
"Oh... I see."
~Syaoran's POV~
Who the heck is that guy!? What's he doing?! What the hell? Why should I care? She's just some annoying girl! Why the heck am I feeling jealous when I watch her talk to other people? Che... I probably just need some sleep. But still... She's annoying, but I still feel the need to watch out for her. It's as if she lived a sheltered life.
But that doesn't matter now. That guy looks okay enough. I'm going to watch them though. Just in case.
~End POV~
Syaoran glared at Hideyuki from the bar counter. He narrowed his eyes and thought jealously, 'what was so great about that guy? He looks average... doesn't he? Oh, god... Don't tell me I'm... No way! No way in hell! I'm not jealous! Why should I? I don't care about her anyway! ... That's right... I don't care...'
If only that were true. Syaoran spent the whole afternoon glaring venomously at Hideyuki.
When Sakura and Hideyuki finally stopped talking, Syaoran stalked to their room.
Sakura watched Syaoran as he stalked away. She wondered what bothered him. She followed him up the stairs and slowly entered the room.
"What do you want!?" Syaoran asked with annoyance laced through his voice.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked as she sat on her bed.
"Nothing. Leave me alone."
"Liar. Tell me."
Syaoran glared at her, "Nothing!"
Sakura stood and glared back, "Fine then!"
She angrily left the room.
Syaoran sat in the chair feeling guilty, but too stubborn to follow her.
Sakura walked out of the room. Her eyes began to water. She wiped them thinking, 'I'm not going to cry. He doesn't deserve my tears. Why is he so mean one moment and nice the next? Why should I cry if he yells at me? He's nothing but a jerk!'
Hideyuki gazed at Sakura. He noticed the tears fall from her eyes and smirked, 'It begins.'
~Tomoyo and Eriol~
Tomoyo and Eriol were also fortunate enough to sleep in an inn that night. Of course they had to share a room.
Eriol lay in his bed. Tomoyo was silently laying in hers as well. Eriol glanced at her and thought, 'Madison Tailor... She's hiding something. She acts too refined to be a servant. She must be in a higher class then she lets on... the same with her friends. I'll find out soon enough.'
Tomoyo was fully aware of Eriol's gaze. She thought nervously, 'He's going to find out... I need to be more careful. But how am I going to get Sakura and Meiling to be more careful too? This farce isn't going to last...'
Eriol's voice interrupted Tomoyo's train of thought, "Perhaps we should get something to eat?"
Tomoyo sat up and nodded silently. With that they left the small room and headed to the kitchen.
Eriol and Tomoyo sat next to each other eating silently.
Eriol placed down his glass, "Tell me. Is Madison Tailor your real name?"
Tomoyo looked at him as he continued to eat, "W-why would you ask something as ridiculous as that?"
Eriol took note of her stutter, "Well, I just want to know. I would prefer to get to know to the real you instead of some guise."
"I am who I am," Tomoyo replied as she looked away.
"As am I, Madison, as am I."
~Meiling and Kero~
Meiling grinned as she felt the wind rush through her hair. Flying was great. She now knew the feeling that Sakura got when she took flight.
That is until she looked down.
"Oh man! I thing I'm gonna puke!" Meiling wailed.
"Don't puke on me!" Cerberus yelled.
Of course it was a little too late for that.
If you were to look to the sky, you would see a strange silhouette flying all over the place.
~*~
In all the kingdoms there were many beautiful voices. Many people who were wonderful at singing, but everyone agreed that Li Sheifa had the most beautiful of them all. She taught many how to sing including Princess Tomoyo, who had a wonderful singing voice. But now, she never sang. The pain of losing so much stopped her from singing as she did before.
Many remember when she would sing in the Li castle gardens. Her favorite song was Tears. Though sad, it was a beautiful song. Sheifa too remembered that time and that song. She remembered when once her brother and the princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom would listen to her soft singing and ask her to teach them the song.
That blue cloudless sky, in a time when she was truly happy. Those times are gone, but she remembers. Yes, she'll always will remember the laughter and smiles they had that day. That day that was so long ago...
~Twelve years before in the Li Kingdom~
Sheifa sat on a bench singing softly, "And I'll be crying forever."
She opened her eyes just to be alarmed to see two pairs, one a sparkling green and another fiery amber, staring at her.
The young girl shrieked in surprise.
The two young children who had startled her laughed.
"Are you okay?" her brother asked as he held out a hand.
"Yes... Just don't frighten me again," Sheifa said as she took his hand and stood.
They laughed again.
The young four-year princess of the Kinomoto kingdom giggled, "You looked funny when you shrieked."
"That isn't true!" Sheifa said defensively.
"Yeah it is!" Xiao Lang said as he laughed.
Sheifa stared at them angrily, then she too began to laugh. The three of them laughed for a while.
After they had calmed down Sakura said eagerly, "I thought your song was beautiful. Will you teach it to me?"
Sheifa nodded happily as she began to teach her brother and her young friend her favorite song.
~*~
Yes, those were the days.
==========
So how was it? It took longer than I thought it would. I would of gotten it up sooner, but my computer got stuck in MS-DOS mode. T_T I couldn't get it off and I had to wait for my friend to get it back for me! So that means it'll take me about week longer to update, Sayonara Tenshi... Oh well. Please Review.
Oh yeah, Tears is a song sang by Feirei. (I think that how you spell her name...) It's in Japanese, but I put a translation. It's a good song.

Oh yeah, Tears is a song sang by Feirei. (I think that how you spell her name...) It's in Japanese, but I put a translation. It's a good song.
