Ohayo gozaimasu! I¡¯m back, with chapter 4.
Again, I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura or the Illiad.
Sorry it took me longer to update chappie 3, but I updated 3 and 4 at the same time, so does it make up for my tardiness? Geez, I sound like a teacher¡. But yeah, my mom barred me from going on the internet ALL WEEKEND!!!! That meant no updating. So, sorry. ^_~()
Oh, and I don¡¯t really know which of Japan¡¯s islands Tomoeda is on, so don¡¯t blame me! If any of you know, please tell me!!!
Okie dokie, on with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
¡°I¡¯m home!¡± Syaoran¡¯s voice echoed through the hall, and a flurry of cloth came tumbling towards him.
¡°Syaoran-kun!!!!¡± The face that launched a thousand ships peered up at him, eyes starry and cheeks red. ¡°I¡¯m soooooo glad you¡¯re home! I missed you so much!¡± Sakura squealed. Whenever I¡¯m not around him, I act so¡different. No one in Hong Kong accepts me, except the men and Tomoyo. Even Yelan hates, well, dislikes me, because I¡¯ve put her sons in danger¡but around Syaoran¡around Syaoran I¡¯m loved.
Syaoran chuckled. ¡°My kawai (cute) chibi (little) cherry blossom¡¡± He winced a little as Sakura pulled him into a rib-breaking hug.
Concern immediately flooded Sakura¡¯s gorgeous face. ¡°Daijoubu desu (Are you alright), Syaoran-kun?¡± Sakura gasped as she peeled away his shirt, seeing the wound on his arm. ¡°Syao-kun, you¡¯re hurt!!!¡± She quickly called a servant to wash and dress his wound as she pulled him down into a chair. ¡°How¡¡±
Syaoran grimaced a little as a healing herb, rare nowadays because of the siege, was crushed and placed on his cut. ¡°Flesh wound, nothing much. Besides, I will never die on the battlefield. I can¡¯t die without seeing your face one last time.¡±
Sakura¡¯s perfectly shaped eyes stared into his eyes, and emerald met amber. ¡°Promise?¡±
¡°Promise.¡± Syaoran¡¯s heart was about to burst from all of his love for Sakura. The magical feeling dissipated as Syaoran yelped.
The two broke apart quickly, and Sakura looked to see what was the matter. The servant who was wrapping a bandage around Syaoran¡¯s arm fell down to the ground, horrified. ¡°Master¡gomen nasai (I¡¯m sorry)¡please¡please forgive this worthless one¡this worthless one was just bandaging Master Syaoran¡¯s wound¡this worthless one didn¡¯t mean to hurt Master.¡±
Sakura glared at the servant, angry at such clumsiness. About to punish the servant, Sakura stood up, but a hand grabbed her arm.
¡°Daijoubu (it¡¯s okay), Sakura-chan. I¡¯m sure he didn¡¯t mean to do it,¡± Syaoran reassured her.
Sakura reluctantly sat back down, and the servant scampered away, with both fear and relief showing on his face, when they heard a knock at the door.
Sakura, having just dismissed the servant, stood up again and opened the door.

Syaoran growled. Can¡¯t these stupid servants walk any faster??!! ¡°Hayaku (Hurry)!¡± he ordered the servants carrying the palanquin he was sitting on. He was already at Tomoeda¡¯s coast, he had just gotten off the ship, and was riding the palanquin the King of Hiroshima had sent.
He was freezing; it was much warmer in Hong Kong. ¡°Faster,¡± he barked, while trying to keep from shivering. It wasn¡¯t actually that cold, but he had only brought warm-weather clothing.
After half an hour or so, they finally arrived at the palace. The servants bowed as Syaoran dismounted and walked into the palace. He looked around, amazed. This palace was so big! Hong Kong was a small island, and therefore could not have such big buildings. Syaoran totally forgot about the banquet King Menelaus had ordered in honor of him, as he wandered off into the palace of 1000 rooms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9 years ago~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tomoeda
¡°Ooooooohhh,¡± Sakura moaned. ¡°Menelaus is gonna KILL me!!!¡± She lifted her pink skirts as she hurried towards the banquet hall as fast as her tall shoes could carry her without tripping. She should have known she¡¯d lose track of time and be late.
Sakura loved animals, especially horses. Every day she would go out and play with them. How could I be so stupid? I even reminded myself of the foreign prince¡¯s arrival before I left for the stables¡ Totally forgetting any appointments as she played with the horses, she only remembered about the prince when she heard the servants talking about it 15 minutes before.
¡°I¡¯m late I¡¯m late I¡¯m late I¡¯m late!!!!¡± She paused for one minute to take a breath, her hand against her pounding heart, then she raced off again, only to bump into someone.
¡°Oof!¡± She cried as she fell down. Ugh, now I¡¯m really gonna be late¡uh oh, something must be wrong with me, the ground feels soft and warm all of a sudden¡ Totally lost in her thoughts, Sakura forgot about everything except for the soft and warm ¡°ground¡±.
¡°Gomen nasai (I¡¯m sorry), lady. It was all my fault,¡± A masculine voice announced.
