Fei Ai Ni Bu Ke Chapter 5

Hey look, I'm publishing two chapters in one morning...and I'm also ill, isn't that amazing. *sniff* Please R+R...

Disclaimer: Chapters 1+2 Chapter 5 - Awakening

Her beautiful, crystal green eyes opened, they darted around the room, taking in the surroundings.

"Ah, my beauty, you are awake." A familiar male voice spoke cheerfully from...nowhere. Sakura tried to sit up, using her limp arms in attempt to haul herself up, but alas, she felt so weak - physically. Eventually she managed to sit up straight, feeling exhausted she had only just noticed that she was wearing completely different clothing.

"Silk...real silk." She said to herself softly fingering the fine texture of the fabric. Squeezing her eyes closes, opal-like-tears slid down her delicate, pale face. Memories came flooding back; the fair, cherry blossom festival, Tomoyo-chan with her elegant kimono, Yukito-san winning her balloons, the Glow Card...

Although, this wasn't her kimono, in fact, it wasn't even a kimono. It was embroidered with elegant ladies, tall and thin at the waist, fiery-looking dragons, swirling in and out and delicate flowers so lifelike Sakura was almost convinced they would have a rich, nectar-y scent. Sakura managed to craw off the bed, standing up wobbling to-and-fro, eyeing herself up and down in the polished, silver mirror, hardly recognising herself.

For the first time since her world had fallen apart her hair had been properly washed, dried and done up in the most elegant fashion with gold hair slides, pins and clips, including pretty little ornaments and delicate chains hanging here and there. Her face was her usual shade but minus the cuts, bruises and dirt-marks. It was pale, pure and smooth.

Her lips were like ripened cherries, a deep luxurious red. She stood completely transformed from an orphaned-slave to a princess dressed in the finest robes. Her deep thoughts were interrupted. "Like it?" The man, or should I say emperor stood in front of her. Naturally her first instinct was to attack. Attempting to strike him with her hand, he caught it and much to her surprise, easily pulled her towards so. She could feel his breath tingling against her neck.

"What the hell?!"" She cried, struggling feebly.

"I'm afraid I had my sorcerers drain your power and energy, I deeply apologise about that but you were too dangerous otherwise." The man smiled apologetically. "Sorry for my rudeness, I have not introduced myself or this place to you." The man brought her hand to his mouth, kissing it gently. "I am the emperor of this world; this world is called "Tian Di" or as you would call it "Tenchi? We named it this because we, humans are...really the rulers of Sky and Earth," Sakura raised her eyebrows thinking of an appropriate response. "But you can call me Hu, not emperor." He carried on.

"Tiger?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Yes, that is correct, your ability to understand Chinese is, quite good I must say. My name does mean Tiger." The man looked at her expectantly, "well, now that I've introduced myself, don't you think you should do the same."

"Oh, um, my name is S-..." Sakura stopped, she couldn't trust anyone, let alone him. She had to be polite because she was in his grasp and at this moment in time she was completely powerless and feeble. "S-unflower."

The man grinned, "Sunflower eh? Cute." He gazed at her, admiring her beauty. A loud knock echoed throughout the room. "Enter." The emperor's eyes didn't leave her face.

Sakura looked towards the door as it swung open. The boy, it was him! He stood there, dressed even more finely than she had seen him before, in flowing robes of emerald green, with golden ornamental bells fastened at each end of his long sleeves that she swept back as he walked.

"Ah, Xiao Lang, brother! You have not yet been properly acquainted with this beautiful young lady." The emperor beckoned Syaoran to go closer towards them. Syaoran's cheeks tingled as he looked at Sakura.

"Nice to meet you...again, I apologise for the..slight misunderstanding on the ship, I..." He bowed awkwardly, a sheepish smile upon his face.

"No, it is alright, there is no need to apologise." Sakura's tone softened as she looked at him, his shocking amber eyes were so lovely...

"Ah, so you were the one who discovered fair Lady Sunflower then, I must thank you. I am most grateful brother!" The emperor laughed throatily, patting Syaoran on the back with gratitude.

"Sunflower? Uh, nice name." Syaoran stuttered, keeping his eyes on the floor. Grinning slightly, 'I swear her name tag said Sakura...oh well...I must've made a mistake.' He thought to himself, he had made her a set of welcoming presents, all to do with Cherry Blossoms, sighing he knew that all that hard work had gone to waste. 'Oh well, I'll keep them for another day' he made a mental note of "Sunflowers" bowed to both of them and absent mindedly wandered out. Leaving Sakura and the Emperor in the room...alone

A/N: Well what do you people think?! Please R+R!!! Hey, sorry about the lame name of the World and her name. That was the first thing that came to my head that began with an S, don't ask.
