Secret of My Heart
Chapter II
"Sakura, why did leave your dad on the mountains?" her mother, Yuko, ask scolding her.
"And you even forgot about your own father, right?" Fujitaka asked.
"I am sorry" Sakura said looking down in the floor "but I didnt do anything bad! All I did was go to the contest in the library"
"Isnt that contest only for boys?" Fujitaka ask.
"Yes but I pretended to be a boy and they didnt even noticed. Plus, I helped my team won!" she said with a smile.
"But you're a woman. You cant go to places like that and I forbid you to" Fujitaka said clutching on his cane.
"Then why do you allow brother to go?" Sakura asked thinking that it wasnt fair.
"He is a boy and you're a girl" Fujitaka said.
"Well, boys are human and girls are human too. Why cant you understand that both genders should be equal. I can do anything that a guy can do and I proved it!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Yeah" Touya said supporting her "She was the one who helped in the contset. She beated all the boys in the other team!"
"Quiet!" Fujitaka ordered him and clutched his chest. (He has high blood pressure and asthma)
"Its just a little problem. Just forget about it" Yuko said to her husband.
"I am sorry and I wont ever do anything like this again" Sakura quickly said and then racing away, hoping that she could reach the stairs in time.
"Stop there!" Fujitaka ordered "From now on, I dont want to see you out of your room!"
"What?!?" Sakura asked almost screaming "How can I last without going out of my room? I will be bored to death"
"You are scared that you'll be bored?" Fujitaka ask "Then I will assign you something to do. You have to weave and by tomorrow I want to see a hundred written calligraphy words!"
"You're kidding!" Sakura said frowning.
"Go to your room now. I dont car if it takes you the whole night. I want to see the work tomorrow" he said.
Sakura gave him a angry sigh and then stomped up the stairs.
"Can you guys hurry up?" Sakura said to Meilin and Tomoyo "You have to be done by tomorrow"
"Sakura! This is suppose to be your job and now we're helping you and all you do is whine?" Meilin ask.
"Ok ok, I'm sorry" Sakura said getting up and massaging Meilin's shoulder "I'll make up to you by buying you a nice bracelet"
Meilin didnt say anything.
"Fine I'll but you 2 or 3" Sakura said.
"Ok!" Meilin said.
And all of them giggled. All of a sudden they heard a flute playing.
"Who is that blowing a flute at night?" Meilin ask.
"No, the music sounds very romantic" Sakura said taking a seat.
"This music must mean something to Sakura. Look at her" Tomoyo said to Meilin.
Sakura looked dazed and stared up at the ceiling.
"Sakura, what will you do? You still cant go out of your room, remember?" Tomoyo ask her.
Sakura didnt answer her and was still looking up the ceiling.
"Sakura!" Meilin yelled.
"What?" Sakura ask almost jumping.
"Tomoyo asked you what are you going to do since you still cant go out of your room"
"Dont worry about that. Havent you ever heard a saying "after the ship crossed the bridge that lets it through, the bridge will straightens itself", which means that I will naturally get a plan"
Sakura knocked on her father's door and then enter.
"Father, I brought tea for you to drink" she said and left the teacup next to him.
"I thought I told you not to leave your room" Fujitaka said looking up from his work.
"I was just wondering if I can help you in your work" Sakura said.
"No, I dont need your help" Fujitaka said "And I dont need you here messing everything up. So you can go now"
"Ok, I was only thinking of showing you my new skill on playing chinese checkers but since you're too busy...." Sakura said loudly making sure that her father hears it.
"What?" her father ask "What new skill had you learned? Show it to me"
"Ok, I'll move here" Sakura said taking the pice on the checker board and moving it.
"Thats it?" Fujitaka ask.
"Yes, its that simple, and you have no where to move, right?" Sakura ask.
Fujitaka look at the board and then nodded and ask "where did you learn this skill?"
"What do you mean where I learned it? I learn it by myself. Such a brilliant skill takes a great mind to learn. And you should allow me to go to out tomorrow" Sakura said.
"You can go out of your room tomorrow but not out" Fujitaka said.
"That is not fair!" Sakura said getting up "Next time when I have anymore new skills, I wont show it to you!"
"Fine, you are allow to go out tomorrow, but only with your brother" he said "And dont do anything bad"
"Ok!" Sakura said happily and put her hand up to swear "If I, Sakura, do anything bad, God will punish me to be a boy forev---"
Before she can finish her word her father stopped her "dont swear things like that"
***
Sakura and Touya was with some of their guy friends on the street.
"Lets look at some pretty girls" one of the guys suggested.
"Look at that girl there. She's so pretty!" another guy said pointing.
Touya look that way and saw a old woman "she's pretty?"
"Not her! The girl behind!" the guy said.
Touya and Sakura looked behind and Touya said "you can't possibly think she's pretty. Do you know who she is?"
"Who?" they ask.
"She is the idiot Yami Hirosho's little sister, Utada Hirosho" he said. Yami was a troublemaker from a rich and wealthy family. His father takes a part serving as an ace.
"Even though she is pretty, I dont think anyone could handle her" one of the guys said.
"Stop it" Sakura said to them "us ladies, are not for you guys to play around with"
"What did you just say? Us ladies?" another guy ask.
"I meant our ladies" Sakura said and shook her head and left.
"Whats wrong with him being so mad and everything?" one of them ask Touya.
"Dont worry about him. Thats how he acts normally" he said.
"Which mask should I buy? The red one or white one?" she ask herself as she pick up both mask.
She looks up ahead and then saw the three Mongolian men she had saw in the contest.
"Its them?" she ask herself.
"Excuse me sir, which mask would you want to buy?" the salesman ask.
She looked at the 3 men and then said "I'll buy both and add a blue mask to it"
Sakura stood at the balcony of a store. She has a big bag of powder in front of her. She put on the mask and then wait until the three men pass.
Yukito and his guard Fushi, and Joe was walking around town.
Just then Fushi pushed him and said "move away!"
A big bag of powder came down and broke and Fushi is now all covered with powder. Joe began laughing and then Yukito joined in.
"Who did that! Reveal yourself!" Fushi said.
"Dont worry about it" Yukito said.
"But it feels weird and doesnt it looks weird that I'm all covered in powder?" Fushi ask.
"Weird matches you" Joe said smiling.
Sakura looked through the balcony, wearing her mask, and said to herself "damn! I didnt get that Yukito guy!"
She went down the store and ran to an alleyway. She has a bucket filled with marbles and she is going to throw it so that they will trip. She waited until they approach near the alleyway and then she threw the marbles down the ground hoping they will slip. She look at them and they were still walking. She then look down at her feet and saw a rat. She screamed and then ran. Before she knew it, she began slipping through the marbles. Yukito saw her and was trying to stop her from slipping. She was going straight into his arms but she quickly turned around and held on to something in his shirt to hold her balance. And without saying anything, she ran away.
Yukito looked at his clothes and then realized that his piece of jade jewelry (that symbolizes that he is a prince) was missing.
"My jade coin is missing" he said.
"That little robber must have took it!" Fushi said and ran up to catch up with her.
"Stop you robber!" Fushi called to Sakura.
Sakura looked at her hand and saw a piece of jade jewelry and wondered how it got there.
"You called me a robber?" Sakura ask screaming across the road "Fine! I wont give it back to you! Come and catch me if you can!"
Sakura ran as fast as she could. Luckily she had her mask on. She entered an alleyway and saw her brother.
"Brother!" she said "Block that Mongolian man in back of me"
"What?" he ask confused but Sakura had ran away.
The Mongolian man approached him and Touya blocked him.
"Move away!" Fushi ordered.
"What?" Touya ask "You think this road belongs to you?"
"Move away or else--" Fushi warned.
"Or else what?" Touya ask and before he know it a knuckle went to his eyes.
Sakura look in the back of her and entered another alleyway. But then a guy bumped into her making her fall.
"I am sorry mister. Are you all right?" the guy ask giving her a hand and pulling her up.
"Am I all right? Why dont you try falling down like that and ask yourself if you are all right" she said and then realized the man. He was the guy that she had stolen the horse from.
"I am sorry and--" he said.
"Since you are all right and I am all right and everybody is all right. Can I go now?" she ask walking away without waiting for him to answer. She shook her head.
"Wait mister!" Syaoran called for her.
"What do you want now?" Sakura ask turning to face him.
"You dropped your jewelry" he said looking at the pice of jaded coin with a gold eagle encarved in it.
She walked up to him and grab the jewelry from his hand and said "listen, I dont know you and have never saw you before in my life!. So dont call me mister as if we know each other"
"Ok" he said.
"And keep this" she said handing him the mask. He took it and smile while Sakura walked away.
Syaoran walked down a street with the mask in his hands. A man approached him and grabbed his shirt and said "you theif! Give me back the jade jewelry!"
"I am sorry but I think you have mistaken me as a thief" Syaoran said kindly to him.
"Seriously, if you dont hand it over, I'll-!" Fushi said.
"Stop!" Yukito said running up to Fushi and then Joe approached them
"Yes" Fushi said instantly obeting his orders.
"I didnt take your jade jewelry" Syaoran said.
"Then why do you have the masks in your hands?" Fushi ask.
"Because this other man gave it to me" Syaoran explained.
"Forget about it. I dont think that this young man could have taken my jewelry" Yukito said.
"Fushi, you could have tell by the clothes that it wasnt him. The thief wasnt wearing that" Joe said looking at Syaoran's clothes.
"I'll get going" Syaoran said and then said bye to them.
"Touya, I told you to look after Sakura, not to play with her!" her father said looking at Touya's black eyes.
Just then Sakura came back.
"Touya! There you are! I have been looking all over town for you. You got me worried to death but it appears that you're here" she said and realized that he had a black eyes "What happened to you? Did you get into a fight or something?"
"Did you say enough?" Fujitaka yelled at her.
"What?" Sakura asked confused.
"How can you tell your brother fight with a Mongolian man?" he ask.
"I didnt tell him to fight him! I just tell him to block him" Sakura exclaimed.
"Quiet! From now on, you cant leave this house without permission! Go up to your room now!" Fujitaka said.
She stormed up the stairs.
"Everytime he gets mad he tells me to go up my room!" Sakura said out loud.
"Well, you know that your father have high blood pressure. I think you should not make him angry all the time" Tomoyo said.
"Well, if he let me be free, then this wouldnt be a problem!" Sakura said.
"Your father had told you not to go out. Why dont you just stay up here in your room?" Meilin suggested.
"No, I cant. But it doesnt matter, after the ship crossed the bridge that lets it through, the bridge will straightens itself" she said.
Right after she said that she hear the music from the flute again and she went all dazed.
Meilin waved her hand over her face slowly and she still didnt noticed anything.
But Sakura all of a sudden jumped and ask "what are you doing?"
"I am suppose to ask you what you're doing. After hearing this music you became so into it. Whats so special about it?" Meilin ask.
"This music must have its meaning to Sakura!" Tomoyo said "Whoever is playing it must be very special!"
I wonder who's playing it, she thought to herself.
Sakura entered her father's work room with a cup of tea.
"What do you want now?" he ask her.
"I am just bringing tea to you. I know that you have been troubled over your work lately" Sakura said. She had overheard his conversation with their servant asking him why doesnt the plan he gathered for the medicine works.
"How did you know?" he ask.
"Well, that doesnt matter but I know what's wrong with it" Sakura said.
"What?" her father ask.
"Have you ever thought about where you got the plants?" Sakura said.
"I have tried making the medicine with this plant several times and all of the times, the medicine was effective. But what does the place have to do with it?Its all the same plants" his father ask.
"Alot!" Sakura exclaimed "Last time, you got the plants from over the mountains. Now you got the plants from the top of the mountains. The temperature is obiously different and the pressure and the amount of sunlight"
His father nodded and said "you're right"
"So I guess you have to go over the mountains for a couple of days in order to get the plants" Sakura said smiling to herself.
