Chapter 4-Amber eyed warrior
"Y....Yue?"
Sakura's eyes widened.
"S......Satou?" She said in her normal Sakura voice.
Satou stepped out from his hiding place and stared directly down at Sakura. After about a minute of this staring he looked Sakura in the eyes.
"Can I ask you some questions?"
Satou and Yue were sitting in their room drinking some tea. Sakura was nowhere to be seen and both boys seemed relaxed. Yue had related his little adventure to Satou and surprisingly, Satou took it quite well. He sat there while Yue talked with a thoughtful look on his face and his eyes never left Yue's.
After the little reminiscing from Yue, Satou nodded and stretched a little and scratched his head.
"You know, you caused quite a stir in my family Sa.....Yue kun." He said after some silence.
Yue looked at Satou with a confused look and blinked.
"Why Satou kun?"
Satou smiled and yawned.
"Taichi Sorayama just happened to be my uncle." He said this so casually that Yue nearly fell over.
"N.....nani?!"
"Oh don't worry Yue kun! I'm not gonna kill you or avenge his death or anything! I HATED him soooo much!" Satou was really on a role.
"It was always 'Satou my boy! Grow a little ne? Eat more Yakitori! Don't treat that WOMAN like she's a princess dammit! She's a maid! Tuck in your chest! Why can't you be more like your brother?! I got soooo angry!" Satou was waving his hands in the air and strutting around the room with a sour look on his face. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and plopped down in front of Yue and leaned so close their noses were almost touching.
"I really couldn't stand him." He laughed a bit and took Yue's hand in his own.
"I promise to keep your secret Yue kun. Until I die."
Yue's face lit up and he hugged Satou.
"Arigatou Satou kun! Arigatou!" Emotion rang all through his voice.
"C.....can't......breath......." Was Satou's reply.
After Yue had released his friend and gained his composure back, Satou's face lit up like a torch.
"I almost forgot! What I came to find you for!" He hopped around and put his hands on Yue's shoulder.
"We're going to China!" He shouted and bounded along the floor.
"Me, You, Shizukana, Tokio and Sakuya! Kakkoii ne? We're leaving in two days!"
"Why?" Was all Yue could say. China?! That was so far away!
"Becaussssseeeee.....There's this chibi little village that needs some bodyguards!" He tried to show off the muscles he didn't have and Yue laughed.
"Soooo we get to go there and protect them! I always knew I was strong......" Satou was in his own world now. No use getting him out. Instead, Yue prepared for bed and after a while, Satou's narcissistic comments died down and Yue fell into a deep sleep.
It had been a late start they day they were due to leave, Satou and Tokio and slept in just a tad late and almost missed the carriage to the harbour. Now they were all on a big boat set for China. Nearly all the boys were commenting on their good luck to be going to another country and show off their skills but one boy kept silent, just sitting in a corner, thinking.
Yue couldn't say exactly what it was, maybe it was just sea-sickness but, for some reason, he felt like something good was going to happen in this new country.
Like someone was waiting for him.
But not entirely waiting for Yue, it was more like someone was waiting for Sakura, with eager open arms. Yue shrugged this crazy feeling off but didn't completely forget about it, he kept it in the back of his mind, the part where feelings turn into instincts and he simply put this feeling aside to contemplate it to see whether it was instinct. He would know when he got there.
They finally got off the boat after two days at sea. Most of the boys were now suffering from seasickness and Satou's normally tanned skin was a ghostly white as he stumbled off the boat and onto solid ground.
They were led to a small village about an hour's ride from the harbour. It defiantly wasn't one of those mud hut villages, all the houses were well made and chickens ran around everywhere, clucking and flapping at the newcomers.
One thing that most the boys noticed, after how pretty some of the girls were, was their feet. Some of the girls were sort of shuffling with looks of pain on their faces; some were in chairs feeling happy that they weren't walking. On a closer look, Sakuya and Shizukana noticed that their feet appeared to be tied up; they looked sort of like the toes had been bent under the foot. It made Yue feel faint.
A woman came marching up to the boys. She was as pale as the moon and hair that was as black as the darkest night. She wasn't shuffling and she wore a sort of air about her, one of great importance. She bowed low and the boys followed, bowing lower.
"Welcome to our village. My name is Li Yelan and I am the Governor's wife. I'm sorry he couldn't come but he is training with his son. Please, follow me." She started walking away and the cautious Japanese boys followed her slowly. Satou had a quick chance to whisper to Yue.
"I feel like a duck in a pond full of swans!" He exclaimed, looking around.
They entered a sort of training room and the sound of fighting could be heard. There appeared to be two men and a girl, Li Yelan walked up to the door and, motioning for the boys to wait, stepped in. Small murmurs could be heard and a man stepped out. He was wearing glasses and looked like one of those intellectual types. His eyes were kind and his dark hair was long, tied near the bottom and shone little bits of purple when he turned it.
"Hello, I am the governor of this village. I am glad that you came so quickly. This is my niece (is that right?) Li Meilin."
Out stepped a girl around eighteen with fiery red eyes and a smile on her face. She was DEFINITELY an independent woman who didn't take any crap. Most of the boys gasped when she came in and she let her smile widen, fixing her eyes on Satou, making him blush a deep crimson red.
"And this is my son, Meilin's cousin, Li Syaoran."
The Sakura part of Yue nearly died of astonishment.
A boy who at least had to be nineteen, almost twenty, slowly walked out from the training room and faced the group of boys who all sort of shrunk back a little at the sight of him. His face wore a stern frown but his features were sharp and handsome, his hair was a wavy chestnut unlike his parents and it flowed and bounced whenever he turned his head. But the thing that most captivated everyone was his eyes. They were a strong amber colour that seemed to see right into everybody's soul. They were deep and cold but still held some sort of soft side to them. Syaoran bowed to the gaping boys and immediately his eyes fixed on Yue.
The Sakura part of Yue was a craze of emotions, the minute Syaoran's foot stepped put from the door, she was going wild. He was that guy ALL the girls wanted, especially Sakura and she would've died just to hear him say her name.
Then, he had stared intently at her and she could feel the blush rise up.
Ca....calm down Sakura.......You're Yue now........breath......one....two......
Yue composed himself and stared back at this boy who had completely stolen Sakura.
And it's hard trying to be a boy with a girl in your head.
Syaoran didn't say anything; he just looked, like he was defining everyone just from their looks. You could tell his father was proud of him and Yue couldn't help notice Meilin staring intently at Syaoran too.
This little firework display of emotions in Yue's head died down when Syaoran led them to their rooms and went, not saying a word. Yue was with Satou and Shizukana and they sat up all night talking about how good looking Meilin was. But Yue said nothing and even though his expression was blank, Satou could see it, he didn't say anything to Yue, but he could see what was going on in his head.
They eventually turned the lights out and went to bed, preparing for the day ahead of them.
I'm sooooo sorry I took so long in updating! I walked in a doorframe and hurt my toe! I was waiting in the hospital for ages and it turns out........I'm OK! Plus my internet's been going kinda crazy! SYAORAN'S MADE AN APPEARANCE! It was kind of short but I liked it! Sakura's going crazy while Yue's trying to compose himself! Does that make sense? Anyway I'll update, you review! Simple ne?
