A Little Lost
by: Time Warp
Summary: Sakura is a princess with a father who wants her to marry. Once she finds out about her former betroved who disapeared years ago she makes up the excuse that she wants to find him, so she could avoid marrige. But what happens when she finds a cold fighter who looks just like the lost prince? S+S
Ahhh!!! I forgot the trivia question in the last chapter. T_T oh well, I'll make sure to put one in this chapter... (Darn it... I'm sure that I told myself to put one in it too... -_-;;) Well, what's done is done. Please enjoy this chapter.
He was a servant.
A loyal one in fact.
He would do anything to please his king. If he were to get his vengance then he would need magic... The king could give him that. In fact the king has given him some magic to use. And he was sent on a mission that fit his vengance exactly. How lucky for him. So... now was the time to strike. Now he would kill that blasted prince. Yes, that prince would pay for what he had done. And this servant knew just how to get to him... That girl.
~*~
Tears slid silently from her eyes. She didn't know why she was crying. Perhaps it was because she was never treated that way before. Afterall, she is a princess. But maybe it was something else... Maybe it wasn't how harsh those words were said, maybe it was who said. It seemed everything was new when it came to him...
"Are you okay?" someone asked the distraught girl.
"I-I'm fine..." Sakura answered as she sniffled.
"Now I know that's not true. Now, tell me what's bothering you."
Sakura smiled weakly, "Arigato Hideyuki-san."
Syaoran frowned. That guy was there again. Comforting her. He was going to apologize, but now that Hideyuki was there, the chance of that happening was a snowball's chance in hell.
Instead, Syaoran agrily stomped back up the steps of the inn. He laid onto the inn bed and fell asleep.
~*~
Meiling stretched. She was there! She was finally in the Suzuki Kingdom. Of course it took a week of non-stop flying on that winged guardian. A very uncomfortable flight, but none the less she was there!
"We're here, Kero," She whispered into her bag.
"Yeah, yeah, so lets get to an inn or something so I can breath!" a muffled voice replied.
Meiling grinned. Just for that, she was going to look around and then go to the inn.
~*~
Tomoyo smiled broadly. They were in the Suzuki Kingdom! She smiled and turned to Eriol, "Eriol-san! Look we're here!"
Eriol nodded, "Hai, we're here. We should go find the others."
Tomoyo titled her head to the side thoughtfully and said, "We should go to the inn. They would most likely go there."
"I agree. We should go see if Syaoran and Sakur-san were being civil to each other," Eriol said with his trademark smile.
They walked side by side without conversation. Seconds passed then minutes. Tomoyo suddenly felt uncomfortable as she walked next to Eriol. This feeling didn't last long though as she soon spotted Meiling humming as she looked at a stall filled with goods for sale.
"Meilin!" Tomoyo called out happily.
Meiling looked up and grinned, "Oy!? Where have you guys been? I'm glad you're okay!"
Tomoyo laughed as she embraced Meiling, "Why wouldn't we?"
"Yeah, well that's true! The one's we should be worried about is Sakura and Syaoran, ne?" Meiling answered as she smiled.
Eriol gave a smile as he interrupted the two girls, "Perhaps we should go to the inn?"
"Oh yeah! I was going to do that," Meiling said carelessly, "Let's go then."
Meiling lead the way as the three of them walked to the inn. They entered to hear Sakura's laugher ring throughout the bar. They walked in expecting Syaoran to smiling and telling Sakura whatever had made her laughed. Instead they saw Syaoran standing behind the bar glaring at Hideyuki as he handed a man an alchoholic beverage. Sakura sat with Hideyuki gaily chatting and smiling happily. Eriol frowned and walked up to the bar.
He looked at Syaoran and asked, "Who is that?"
Syaoran glared at Hideyuki and said, "A pianist."
Eriol got into a deep conversation with Syaoran about what happened.
It had been weeks since the incident where Syaoran had made Sakura cry.
Apparently no apologies had been said, in fact not even one word had been uttered to each other. Sakura began to talk to Hideyuki more and more as Syaoran did nothing but watch angrily.
Eriol frowned, "Why didn't you just apologize?"
Syaoran snorted and sarcastically replied, "She seems perfectly happy with that pianst."
~*~
"That BAKA!!!" Meiling yelled as Eriol told her, Kero, and Tomoyo of the incident.
Tomoyo frowned, "I wouldn't say that, but look at the way he looks at Sakura and glares at that pianst."
Kero angrily said, "That gaki likes MY misteress!? HA! He doesn't have a chance!"
Meiling hit him on the head with her fist, "Oh shut up! She likes him too! Can't you tell by the way she glances at him from time to time?"
Kero took at look of shock as the realization formed, "NOOOOOOOOO!!! My little Sakura likes some gaki!!!!!!!!"
Tomoyo tilted her head to the side and asked, "Why doesn't he just admit that he likes her? Or at least apologize."
Eriol shook his head, "That's not a possiblity. I don't think he's admitted that he likes her to even himself. Not to mention, he's way too proud to apologize now."
Meiling snorted as some of her superior attitude came out, "What does he have to be proud of? He is just a fighter."
Eriol stood and slammed his hands on the table, "Don't ever say that again! Syaoran has endoured many things and has many things to proud of! He's gone through things that I would have failed and I respect him for that. If you don't understand that then it's obvious you don't understand him or anything of real importance."
Meiling, Tomoyo, and Kero sat there speechless as Eriol turned on one heel and left the inn room which they had been speaking in. Tomoyo slowly stood and said, "I'll go talk to him..."
Tomoyo walked outside the room and found Eriol standing as he leaned against the hallway wall.
Tomoyo opened her mouth to speak, but Eriol interrupted her, "I know I shouldn't have gotten angry like that. It's just that... Syaoran and I have been friends for years and to hear people say things about him like that... it makes me..."
Eriol sighed, "I suppose it just makes me angry."
Tomoyo frowned, "I understand. I would be angry if someone would be speaking about my friends like that..."
Eriol shook his head, "It's not just that. I look after him you know? I see him more as a brother than a friend. And sometimes when I watch him I feel scared."
Tomoyo gave Eriol a confused look, "I don't understand."
Eriol looked at the ceiling, "I guess you have to know Syaoran as well as I do to understand. You see, when I see him I see the pain in his eyes and sometimes I think he might just give up."
"Give up? Give up on what?"
"Yes, give up. I fear that he might give up on everything. On fighting, caring, or even our friendship. I fear that he might give up on life."
Tomoyo stopped breathing for a few seconds in shock, "But, he's so strong... He's a fighter right?"
Eriol frowned, "Yes, I know that, but."
He stopped as he seemed to think about how to put what he wanted to say into words, "You know when I said, that he endoured many things?"
"Yes."
"Well, sometimes I think that one day something might happen and it would be one thing too many. Syaoran may be strong physically, but spiritally he has almost given up," Eriol said sadly.
Tomoyo stood there awkwardly, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Eriol shook his head, "No... I shouldn't have told you these things. It wasn't my place to tell. Please, don't tell anyone what I've told you."
"But, Eriol-san, maybe we can do something," Tomoyo persisted.
"No, there are somethings that one must fight alone."
"Oh..."
~*~
Meanwhile, Sakura was Hideyuki chatting gaily.
Hideyuki smiled. Everything was going perfectly.
Hideyuki stood, "Sakura-san would you like to come with me on a walk?"
Sakura smiled. Hideyuki was polite, nice, and respectful. Everything Syaoran wasn't.
"I'd love to."
Syaoran frowned as he watched them leave the inn. He stood and followed them. He had a bad feeling about Hideyuki and he wasn't going to leave Sakura alone with him.
Hideyuki and Sakura spoke and walked as Syaoran stealthily followed them.
Hideyuki soon lead the unknowing Sakura to an empty field outside of the busy town of the Suzuki Kingdom. Syaoran frowned, just what was he planning?
Sakura soon noticed where they had walked. She frowned and asked, "Hideyuki-san, why are we here?"
Hideyuki sneered, "It ends here. You're coming with me to my king!"
Fear struck Sakura as she heard those cold words, "Nani? W-what do you mean?"
Hideyuki glared at her, "You're coming with me, whether you like it or not!"
Sakura glared back, "And what would you do if I don't want to go?"
"I'll take you by force!" Hideyuki yelled.
He lifted his hands and formed a ball of fire. He angrily threw it at Sakura.
Sakura stood there, rooted to her spot in fear. She closed her eyes preparing for the worst, yet it never came. Instead she felt two hands grab her by her waist and pull her down to the ground. She opened her eyes and stared into vivid amber.
"Syaoran?" she asked.
"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked urgently.
"Hai," Sakura answered.
"Stay here. I'll take care of this jerk," Syaoran said as he stood.
Syaoran drew his sword and glared at Hideyuki.
Hideyuki smirked, "Well, well, well another one of the people my king wants to see."
He formed another ball of fire and threw it at Syaoran. Syaoran glared as he jumped up and dodged. Hideyuki quickly drew his own sword as Syaoran attacked him. They exchanged blows as they landed on the ground.
Hideyuki frowned and drew back. Syaoran charged at him furiously. Hideyuki formed a ball of fire and threw at Sakura. Syaoran's eyes widened and race to where Sakura stood. Sakura jumped to the side barely dodging the blazing fireball. She gasped as she saw Hideyuki throw a fireball at Syaoran as his back was turned.
"Watch out!" Sakura screamed.
Syaoran whirled around to see a ball of fire flying at him. He soon realized it was too close to him to dodge. Instictively, Syaoran lifted his arms to give meager protection from the coming danger.
Much to all their amazment the ball of fire disapated as it touched Syaoran, leaving him untouched.
Hideyuki's eyes widened, "NANI!? What the hell happened?! Damn! I can't win like this!"
With that he used magic to transport away.
Sakura ran over to Syaoran, "Are you okay?"
Syaoran examined himself as if trying to find out what happened, "I think so."
Sakura burst into tears, "Thank you... I'm so sorry!"
Syaoran pulled her into a hug, "Don't cry it's okay. I'm the one who should be sorry."
Sakura continued to cry, "You're aways there when I need you I-I"
"Shh..." Syaoran hushed her, "It's okay. Please don't cry. Your face looks better with a smile anyway."
Sakura pulled away from his embrace and gave him a smile, "Arigato, arigato for everything."
"I'll always be there for you."
