~*~ Author's notes ~*~ Thanks everyone so much for all your reviews and e-
mails, that really means a lot to me. I have made this chapter longer than
usual and longer than the last chapter. Plus this would probably have been
up either during the weekend or on Monday of the last day of March. But I
had play performances and I had to take one of the actress's place on the
last minute, so I'm not home until 10 - 11 o'clock at night and I don't get
to sleep until 12-2 cause of homework. So life is grand ^_^!
Special thank to ~*~ Felya ~*~ kawaiitenshisakura ~*~ les ~*~ d ~*~ Tomoyo- chan ~*~ Tagrina ~*~ Astarya ~*~ kawaii mouse ~*~ hana no tenshi ~*~ lilsweetcherryblossom ~*~ blueangelbaby ~*~ luckyducky7too ~*~ Mistress Tate ~*~ Pnaixr0se8 ~*~ Shinigami Clara
Felya ~*~ Aww.thank you! That's really sweet! ^_^
Tomoyo-chan ~*~ thanks for all four of your reviews ^_^
Kawaii mouse ~*~ happy belated birthday! I hoped you had a very wonderful birthday with lots of good luck!
Hana no tenshi ~*~ Aww. thanks so much! I really appreciate that! And don't worry I'm going to keep trying to get msn until I do. Thanks! And nope, it wasn't your imagination. I forced myself to type two more pages than I normally do, but this one is going to be MUCH longer.
Lilsweetcherryblossom ~*~ I'm probably going to end the story around the thirtieth chapter, but I promised everyone a sequel to, incase you wanna check that out.
Blueangelbaby ~*~ Syaoran is in a really depressed state right now because Sakura gave herself up to the enemy. Don't worry things will get better. I hope.
Luckyducky7too ~*~ Sakura's new servant is male.
Shinigami Clara ~*~ When I was writing about Sakura becoming poisoned I was thinking more of a paralyzing thing. I wasn't really trying to go for the brain can't send messages. I tried to make that clear but I'm not all that good when it comes to doing that. As for more people in this story there's not going to be anymore new people. I know that this fic would never get finished if I added one more person and I'm not. Touya is the last character I added and no more after him. I would also like to say sorry for the chapters being so short but a lot has come up during the making of this fic and I hate having people wait so I'll bring a conclusion of some kind and post it up. And you can continue reviewing because it's not a big deal, well it is because I love reviews, but you have really good thoughts about how this story is going to go.
Everyone ~*~ Check out Kawaii mouse's fic! It's called the Lost Star; it's really good and very kawaii. So if you're into kawaii things, then this is most definitely a fic you would want to read.
Chapter 26
I dropped my guard a little. This place is cookie! I don't get lights because of what I did earlier? I honestly expected so much more than that, not that I mind or anything, but still that isn't the point. Usually when you punish someone it's painful, but turning out the lights? That's just crazy. Maybe with every memory I remembered he got dumber as well as weaker.
"Still daytime? Like it's still light outside but it'll get dark soon daytime or morning daytime?" I asked not fully comprehending.
"As in morning daytime," he said. I mouthed the word 'Oh' and lay back down after deciding that he was no longer posing a threat toward Touya and I.
"Why were you sneaking around here?" I asked him as I crawled into the covers of my pallet.
"I didn't want to disturb you from your sleep. I usually come in while your sound asleep and change your clothes or whatever." I stared at him.
"YOU change MY CLOTHES?" I asked in shock. Ok, I understand the purpose to giving me clean clothes and I see the purpose of a servant BRINGING the clothes to you, but! A male servant who takes my clothes off to change them, a MALE servant! I feel so violated! "YOU'RE A SICKO!" I screamed at him. Oh how I wanted to gag!
"Please believe me when I say that it wasn't my idea," he began but I had an idea of what he was going to say so I finished the sentence for him.
"Your master told you to," I said bluntly.
"Well, actually he only has male servants so either way you would have had no choice and yes my Master makes me." I gave them this look as if I was going to kill him sooner or much sooner. "Don't worry I didn't see much-"
I quickly grabbed the tray of food that had been sitting above my head and threw it at him. "You are such a jerk!" I screamed at him without even thinking.
"What did you want me to say? I was trying to be nice!" He complained nearly waking Touya up. He wiped the food that had splattered onto his clothes and shot me what looked like an angry look. I don't know it's really hard to see in the dark.
"Whatever," I said settling in for my sleep. "Where's the clothes your suppose to change me into?" I asked him before closing my eyes.
"On the other side of the room. You can get them yourself," he told me angrily.
"That's what I planned on doing," I told him before finally drifting off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When I woke up Touya was sitting up in bed staring off into space. "What are you thinking about?" I asked him.
"Nothing," he answered. He looked like something was really bothering him, so wouldn't it be great to let it all out in the open?
"Tell me what's bothering me," I ordered him.
"There's nothing bothering me," he said through clenched teeth. I crawled over to the bed and jumped on and looked him square in the eye.
"Tell me what's wrong," I commanded with more authority to my voice.
"Did you see the clothes they left you to put on?" he asked me. I looked at him like he might have been joking or something. Then I slowly shook my head no. "Then go look."
The way that his voice sounded scared me. Just from the tone he was speaking in, I knew something wasn't right and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to know what was wrong. So without a word I went to where whoever the boy was last night said my clothes were and looked down on them. For once they weren't pink! Instead it was a pretty brown.
I carefully picked them up and looked in the full body mirror not to far from me. From the looks of the clothing it was just an ordinary traveling gown, women who traveled wore. It made me wonder if I was going to be taking a trip.
"What's wrong with these clothes that bother you?" I asked Touya not seeing anything wrong with them.
"What does the gown mean to you, Sakura?" he asked me. He wouldn't even look at me, something was most defiantly wrong.
"I'm going to be traveling?" I questioned.
"Yes."
"Where am I going?" I asked. Something deep down inside of me was telling me that it was too late to think about the past and my future. I had a bad feeling that the demon master was getting impatient and that he strictly didn't care anymore about me being in the best of shape.
"You're going to take a one week trip to the altar, that's where you'll meet the Demon Master. It's there you'll decide on if you defeat him and rid the world of demons forever, or be killed and help the Demon Master become stronger." I dropped the gown on the ground and stepped away from it like it was poisonous. "And whatever you do decide to do, my baby sister, you MUST do it quick."
"Will you be taking this trip with me?" I asked.
"No. I won't be allowed. I'll have to stay in this room for either the rest of my life, or until you kill the master." I bit my lower lip. This has to be the biggest responsibility ever known to the face of this planet! I always thought Princesses were kept safe, never had to go through danger like I have and etc. But here I am and the world's fate depends on me. A scrawny little 15-year-old who barely knows her butt from a whole in the ground!
My knees felt weak and I just let myself drop to the ground and stared at my self in the mirror. In my mind I kept telling my self that I have to be strong for my only friends. That I had to be strong for a kingdom and a mother that I never really knew, I have no more time for my fears to come into play and take control of me like they normally do. I can't slip out now, not when everything has gone this far.
I picked up the gown that I was suppose to wear and looked for a place to change. Which wasn't much of a place. so I just used the little closet that was there, after giving Touya strict orders not to even dare look toward the closet.
When I finished I stepped and looked down at myself. This was it! This was the beginning of the end and a new beginning would be forming, it just depends on me how this world will be.
"Are you finished yet?" Touya asked impatiently.
"Yes, you can turn around now." He let out a deep sigh and turned and looked at me with saddened eyes. "Will you be ok?" I asked him.
"I don't know, you tell me." That's the last thing I heard him say before I felt like I was sucked into a whirlpool with stars. I tried to move my arms but the gravity here was so heavy! Finally all the stars and weight disappeared, leaving me in a dark room with a red tint.
Everywhere I looked was candles hanging on the wall, from the ceiling, and even on the floor. Gargoyle structures were everywhere and it looked like they watched your every move, sending chills up and down my spine.
I was about to start walking aimlessly when I thought I saw a shadow run from one of the many pillars to another. Breathing turned into short painful pants as I froze in fear.
I kept looking around me, with my head not moving, to see if I saw anymore of the shadows. At the same time I'm trying to tell myself that it's all in my head and that most of this wasn't real, that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. But let's face it folks! I was so scared that my hair was on end! And when your that scared there's nothing you can really do to talk your way out of being afraid.
Closing my eyes I took one final really deep, deep breath, before reopening my eyes again. This time I literately forced my self to move, and I had forced myself to move so badly that I 'hurt' myself. But that didn't stay long in my mind since I heard footsteps behind me.
Quickly I turned around to find nothing behind me but red walls and darkness. Panic was edging it's way up to me again and try as I might I pushed it down as much as possible and continued walking. I only took a few more steps until something hideous and gargoyle like landed in front of me, causing me to scream in fright.
It began snarling at me and flashing it's huge yellow and blood stained teeth at me. I immediately took off in the opposite direction, careful to hold in anymore of my screams incase I might draw more attention to myself.
I only ran for about three minutes before I heard what sounded like dog claws tapping on the ground behind me. I took a quick sneak peak back to see that the thing that had scared me before decided that it wanted to give chase!
I felt tears come to my eyes and I knew that this thing was going to eat me alive. There was no questioning about it. The thing was hungry and I was fresh meat that had just been slapped onto the table ready for the eaten.
It seemed like it had gotten worse for me when I heard chains and more footsteps up ahead of me. The thought 'just give up' kept running through my mind the whole time and I almost listened to it until I turned this on corner and ran into demon Melin, who had the gang chained up behind her.
Demon Melin instantly started throwing a fit and all I could really think about was getting her off of me before that thing. oh well.it's too late, here it comes!
I closed my eyes as Melin crawled off of me and I waited for the sharp painful teeth that I just knew was going to eat me alive no matter what, but the pain never came. So I opened my eyes only to find demon Melin's red eyes staring back at me with hatred.
"What is your problem?" she asked.well more like yelled.
I sat up and looked around for that thing and found that it was sitting next to demon Melin staring back at me. The gang looked like they had somewhat relieved faces and Syaoran he just kept staring at me with this blank expression on his face. It made me want to cry it hurt so badly.
"That thing was chasing me!" I cried out in defense. Sounds like a little kid complaining I know, but that thing is scary! And I'm sure all those with me agreed.
"You are such an idiot," she said with a sigh. "You were suppose to get on his back so he could ride you up ahead of us. This was so not suppose to be like this!" she wailed.
"Well, I'm sorry to ruin your plans and all but how was I suppose to know that I was suppose to ride that thing? Naturally I'm going to run away from it because it's so hideous," I told her. The moment I said hideous the thing, that I'm guessing is a dead demon dog, started growling at me and what little fur it did have on it's body it was standing on end.
"Careful Sakura, you never call him hideous. Understand?" Melin asked in a menacing tone. Seeing that I wasn't going to answer she continued to threaten me further. "Cause if you don't, I'll let him dismember you from limb to limb."
She said more but I didn't really hear it cause I wasn't paying attention to her any longer. Instead my eyes met with Syaoran's emotionless ones. Then I saw just a flicker of emotion.just a flicker of him asking me why. Did he think that I hated him? How could he ever think that I hate him? I love him so much.
I licked my lips and mouthed the words, 'I love you and I'm so sorry' to him. Tears were filling my eyes again and any minute they would just water over. I think Melin saw what I said cause she immediately started taunting me.
"Aww. is Sakura missing her whittle man?" she walked in front of me and gave this pouting face like you would a little kid. "Well, maybe I could let you have a little ruin. You know seeing that you're going to be killed in about a week," she said with a smile. "And I guess I could let you be with your friends before we make them lose their memories of you and eat your pathetic chicken." She turned and looked at my friends and snapped her fingers and immediately the chains disappeared.
The moment they did everyone swarmed around me giving me hugs and kisses on the cheeks.everyone that is but Syaoran. Did he really hate me that much?
I pushed past them and went up to him and he just kept staring at me.
"Syaoran.I-" he cut me off.
"Why Sakura!" he screamed out at me. "Why! Did you hate me? Was I just some kind of sick joke or something?"
I was seriously hurt by his words. He really did think I hated him.
"Syaoran, I have never hated you and I never will, and how could you possibly think that you were just a joke? I love you more than life it's self! If I had a choice Syaoran I would just wave my little finger and make everything better again, but I can't."
"Why did you leave?" he asked with teary eyes.
"I thought what I was doing was the right thing. If I had known better, Syaoran, believe me I wouldn't have done what I did." The tears were flowing now and there was no stopping them.
"No, Sakura. We would have gladly died just to know you were safe. Your too good of a friend for us to lose," I heard Tomoyo say. I turned to them and gave them a bright smile and whispered my thanks to them for always being there when they didn't have to be.
"Yeah Tomoyo's right. We care about you too much to lose you to the hands of these demons," Eriol said wrapping his arm around Tomoyo. I heard a slight growl coming from Melin.
"And I'm too much in love with you to let you pull another stunt like that again," I heard Syaoran say. I was shocked if anything to hear him even speak so when I turned around to look at him and then something I hadn't quite expects happened. Syaoran had swept me up in his arms into the most passionate kiss ever! I nearly melted in his arms. When we broke away for air he literately had to hold me up I had become so weak.
"Never do that to me again," he whispered in my ear before Melin forced us apart.
"Ok, that's enough! You are not to touch Syaoran do you hear me?" Melin yelled. I saw fangs start to form and her nails suddenly grew longer. "This is what I get for being nice." I looked over at Syaoran, who gave me a smile that made me feel like everything was going to be ok.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We had been walking for what felt like a half a day without any breaks and everyone except Melin was tired. The thing that had chased me was giving Melin a ride on it's back so she wouldn't be tired. The gang and I were in chains making it even more difficult to continue on from their great weight.
Melin said she was going to punish us because of what had happened earlier with Syaoran and I, by making everyone walk until she was tired. Which we could tell from the get go that that would be a long time, not to mention to horrid silence that came along with it. Yet you could really count it as absolute silence because every once in a while one of us would moan from main and exhaustion and if one of us fell we all fell into a screaming and gasping human pile.
To keep my mind from going completely crazy, I thought about the rest of the riddle Touya had given me. Know my future. I don't know if it wanted me to be physic or not, so I found it really annoying.
I must have thought about that part of the riddle for a whole two or three fourths of the walk until I finally remembered the premonitions I had been having since I entered that dungeon. Maybe that was apart of what Touya was talking about.
Touya.my dear poor brother. I've only known him for such a short while and then I had to unwillingly leave him still sick. I hope that he'll be ok. I don't know what I would do if something was to happen to the only real family that I have still alive, and after all these years I've never known to have a brother. But then again I can't blame the woman that raised me to think her as my mother, she probably didn't even know about my history before I was found.
All of this is really confusing to me, but I'm sure now that everything will fall into place once it's almost over and done with. Now about that riddle.
~*
Well, I'm going to end the chapter here today folks. I'm extremely tired and I think I'm hungry, not quite sure although I should be considering that I haven't had anything to eat for THREE DAYS!! Any how, I'm sorry about the delay once again and I hope that this chapter is long enough for all of those who hate my 7 & 9 page chapters ^_^. Don't worry I hate them to but like I say it takes forever to write a chapter over 20 pages long (. But this one is longer than the last and I think it's the longest one I've had since chapter 10 so I'm pretty proud that I've sat this long to write more that what I had originally planned. Well, until next chapter!

"And I guess I could let you be with your friends before we make them lose their memories of you and eat your pathetic chicken." She turned and looked at my friends and snapped her fingers and immediately the chains disappeared.
The moment they did everyone swarmed around me giving me hugs and kisses on the cheeks.everyone that is but Syaoran. Did he really hate me that much?
I pushed past them and went up to him and he just kept staring at me.
"Syaoran.I-" he cut me off.
"Why Sakura!" he screamed out at me. "Why! Did you hate me? Was I just some kind of sick joke or something?"
I was seriously hurt by his words. He really did think I hated him.
"Syaoran, I have never hated you and I never will, and how could you possibly think that you were just a joke? I love you more than life it's self! If I had a choice Syaoran I would just wave my little finger and make everything better again, but I can't."
"Why did you leave?" he asked with teary eyes.
"I thought what I was doing was the right thing. If I had known better, Syaoran, believe me I wouldn't have done what I did." The tears were flowing now and there was no stopping them.
"No, Sakura. We would have gladly died just to know you were safe. Your too good of a friend for us to lose," I heard Tomoyo say. I turned to them and gave them a bright smile and whispered my thanks to them for always being there when they didn't have to be.
"Yeah Tomoyo's right. We care about you too much to lose you to the hands of these demons," Eriol said wrapping his arm around Tomoyo. I heard a slight growl coming from Melin.
"And I'm too much in love with you to let you pull another stunt like that again," I heard Syaoran say. I was shocked if anything to hear him even speak so when I turned around to look at him and then something I hadn't quite expects happened. Syaoran had swept me up in his arms into the most passionate kiss ever! I nearly melted in his arms. When we broke away for air he literately had to hold me up I had become so weak.
"Never do that to me again," he whispered in my ear before Melin forced us apart.
"Ok, that's enough! You are not to touch Syaoran do you hear me?" Melin yelled. I saw fangs start to form and her nails suddenly grew longer. "This is what I get for being nice." I looked over at Syaoran, who gave me a smile that made me feel like everything was going to be ok.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We had been walking for what felt like a half a day without any breaks and everyone except Melin was tired. The thing that had chased me was giving Melin a ride on it's back so she wouldn't be tired. The gang and I were in chains making it even more difficult to continue on from their great weight.
Melin said she was going to punish us because of what had happened earlier with Syaoran and I, by making everyone walk until she was tired. Which we could tell from the get go that that would be a long time, not to mention to horrid silence that came along with it. Yet you could really count it as absolute silence because every once in a while one of us would moan from main and exhaustion and if one of us fell we all fell into a screaming and gasping human pile.
To keep my mind from going completely crazy, I thought about the rest of the riddle Touya had given me. Know my future. I don't know if it wanted me to be physic or not, so I found it really annoying.
I must have thought about that part of the riddle for a whole two or three fourths of the walk until I finally remembered the premonitions I had been having since I entered that dungeon. Maybe that was apart of what Touya was talking about.
Touya.my dear poor brother. I've only known him for such a short while and then I had to unwillingly leave him still sick. I hope that he'll be ok. I don't know what I would do if something was to happen to the only real family that I have still alive, and after all these years I've never known to have a brother. But then again I can't blame the woman that raised me to think her as my mother, she probably didn't even know about my history before I was found.
All of this is really confusing to me, but I'm sure now that everything will fall into place once it's almost over and done with. Now about that riddle.

Well, I'm going to end the chapter here today folks. I'm extremely tired and I think I'm hungry, not quite sure although I should be considering that I haven't had anything to eat for THREE DAYS!! Any how, I'm sorry about the delay once again and I hope that this chapter is long enough for all of those who hate my 7 & 9 page chapters ^_^. Don't worry I hate them to but like I say it takes forever to write a chapter over 20 pages long (. But this one is longer than the last and I think it's the longest one I've had since chapter 10 so I'm pretty proud that I've sat this long to write more that what I had originally planned. Well, until next chapter!
