~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Syaoran crouched down and took Sakura's chin. He had promised himself he wouldn't fall in love with her. That promise was going to stay. But her puffy emerald pools made him feel weak, it made him feel sorry. That didn't happen very often in his life. He wanted to grab her and just smother her in kisses, but it wasn't ment to be, not ment to happen. A girl as beautiful and gentle as her would've already been taken, that prince how he was lucky.
"Sakura..." He whispered to her, but she just closed her eyes and the tears fell. "Do you want me to take you back?" He was half expecting her to just keep crying and slap him, he knew she didn't like the way things were going.
Sakura thought about this for a second. 'Well... This IS an adeventure far away from my royal life. But, I wouldn't want to pass up the chance, I mean sooner or later he IS going to take me back. And I do feel something for him... Don't I?' The question had just suddenly popped up. 'He is a great guy, and a good fighter. Loving him is something I don't think I could do. I mean...' Sakura sighed. "I miss Tomoyo and everyone, but Syaoran if I did go back, you would be hurt."
Syaoran eyed her.
"Bu-"
"I think that little cry helped me there. Anyways..." Her smile came back. "I wouldn't miss this adventure for the world! I mean look at this! Totally off from the way a princess is supossed to behave, you know? It makes me feel... lossened up. If I did go back, i'd have to face my brother, father and all those snobby princes that come with it."
Syaoran chuckled softly. He hadn't known this girl for very long, but it felt like thay had known each other for years.
"Kini, soon we're going to be at a kingdom. When we get there, just be yourself ok?"
Sakura was confused big time. "Be myself? What do you mean?"
"It's just that... There are certain expectatins for a princess to follow, and well..." Syaoran froze. "Moth- I mean Queen Yelan likes those types of girls. You'll understnd when we get there." Why had just he said that?!
Syaoran kneeled down and took her small hand and helped her up. He felt much better, yup she was really good with her hands. "Can you walk?"
Sakura frowned and placed her hands at her hips. "Did you see me? When I was helping you? I was running! Of course I can walk, see..." Sakura took a step and mumbled something under her breath. "Stupid feet..."
"Ok... Well the horse is pretty far away. And you're going to have to walk a bit far."
"So? I'm walking fine right now. O and thanks for the clothes! They're so much easier to live with. Why wouldn't people be sensible and never invent stupid dresses? They're so annoying..."
"But they make you look good..." Syaoran murmured.
"What did you just say? I wasn't listening..."
Syaoran saw two fingers snap infront of his face, but he was seeing something in his mind.
"Earth to Syaoran! Wake up!" Sakura yelled.
His eyes suddenly became warm and he looked at Sakura. "Sorry... Uh so... Do..." He was lost for words. He didn't know what to talk about. What if he stopped talking... Then maybe she wouldn't be able to find out his secret! He was really bad at keeping secrets sometimes... He'd almost told her back a few minutes ago about Queen Yelan. Then, he'd be dead. She would know and word would get around that Sakura was hanging at the Li Kingdom. Somehow it always happenes...
The two stayed quiet while Sakura rode on the horse. The rhythmed clip-clop of the horses hooves was very soothing. Syaoran looked up at her, she was just playing with the horses hair.
"Why are you doing that?" Syaoran asked her while still staring ahead.
"I think it looked boring... So I braded it! Doesn't it look so kawaii?" Then Sakura's smile faded. "I miss Tomoyo..."
Suddenly Syaoran remembed! Eriol, where was he? Wasn't he supossed to tell him when he got to the kingdom? Maybe he was already there and just too lazy to use his magic.
"Kawaii?"
"Ja... It's what Tomoyo always says to me. She always says OOOO CHIBI SAKURA YOU LOOK SOOOOOOOOO KAWAII!!!"
Sakura giggled. "Sometimes she would get me to model and draw pictures of me... Why didn't you take her with us?"
The horse kept going but Syaoran stopped. "Because she- Well you so happened to walk in at the wrong time. If you didn't then you wouldn't be here... We couldn't have you telling things..."
"Telling things? I barely remember what happened! Could you tell me?" Sakura pleaded.
"No."
"Why?! I have a right to know! I demand!"
"Demand what? I'm not telling diddly-squat..."
"Didly Squat? What's that mean?" Sakura's face came closer to his from above.
"It means nothing. I just have a habit of saying it, ok? Why do you always have so many questions?" Syaoran glared at her annoyed.
"You know... Youre glares don't scare me." So she glared back.
Their faces only inches away now.
Syaoran turned red and faced the ground. "I ask questions because it keeps the conversation going. Look at you Syaoran! You don't even talk very much." Sakura sighed. "Why are you all of a sudden being so uptight?"
Syaoran just pulled on the horses rien a bit harder. "I don't feel like talking."
"You're depressing." Sakura squeeled playfully.
"WHAT!?"
Sakura started to laugh at him. "I love it when your mad! It's just plain funny."
Syaoran didn't like this sweet torture from her side. "Why you being so mean, Kini?" He said quietly to make her feel bad. His bangs fell over his face while he looked down. She wasn't able to see the little smirk.
"Mean? Aww.. C'mon the big bad Gaki can't take a little bit of torture. Well... I guess pianists aren't much fun." Sakura mumbled.
"I can be fun." Syaoran replied back.
"No you can't. You just play good music, you never try to start up a conversation, you never want to tell jokes, you never want to do anything but stay in a room and play peices of music! You know your wasting your life away."
"I'm not the princess who has to find a sutable prince to become her husband. Im not the one who takes hours to get ready.. I'm I'm not the stuck up spoiled brat, I'm greatful for my life. Why are you always trying to get away from that perfect life? Look at the poor people who have to live off of nothing just to feed their families!" Sakura looked away. "Look at me Sakura. Your life is soooo glamerous, your beautiful it gets you through life so easily! I don't get you..."
Sakura smiled back at him, kind of like a lunatic.
"What?" Syaoran yelled annoyed.
"Beautiful, eh Gaki? I never knew you thought like that." Sakura nudged him. Syaoran turned bright red and let go of the horse. He began to power walk his way ahead of Sakura so she couldn't get any more out of his mouth.
'DAM WOMEN! THEY GET ME TO SAY THE STUPIDEST THINGS! I AM NOT A- A- A GAKI!!!!' Syaoran held his forehead while still walking fast. 'Beautiful!? Now i'm serious about not falling for her! This is turning out to be a game!!!' Syaoran stopped and smiled. 'If it's a game she wants, it's a game she gets.' He answered to himself slyly.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Tomoyo looked up at Touya.
"Can we go outside to the shops? I want to get some more fabric."
"No Tomoyo... I can't i'm too busy. I have to go see the Pianist for a second." He tried to push her to the side. Tomoyo got back infront of him quickly blocking his path.
"Oh c'mon! It's not like he's going anywhere... It'll only take a little while. PLEASE COUSIN TOUYA? I won't bother you for a while! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She whined annoyingly, it always got to Touya some how...
"OKOKOKOKOKOKOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! Why are you acting like this?! It's just fabric!" Touya yelled. "Let me go see the Pianist... Get out my way."
"Dear cousin! O when's the last time we- we ever spent time together?"
Touya thought for a second.
"NEVER!" Tomoyo jumped. "For once can you just please take me to the shops!? I'm sure we'll..." She knew she'd regret this. "We'll see Sakura-Chan."
Touya's ears pricked up. "OOOOOOOOOOO! SO SHE'S AT THE SHOPS IS SHE!?" Touya grabbed Tomoyo's wrist and Yukito's arm. "We're going to shop till we drop!"
Touya dragged the two into a royal carrige. It was about 6 feet wide and 7 feet long, with purple draps at the windows. Beautiful carvings on the sides of the carrige showd horses and knights, also engraved was the title Kinomoto. Tomoyo sat at the window, Yukito in the middle eating an apple and Touya at the other end. Touya tapped his fingers imapatiently on his lap, he was going to get Sakura, she was in deep shit. He was going to ground her for half her life! Touya would get her to marry someone that was worth her while! He was going to make that pianist pay... Just for the fun of it. Well, the pianist did have a look for Sakura. Espeacially that day when he came out half naked infron of his sister! He grabbed his pants and tightly yanked on them.
"ARE WE THERE YET!?!" Touya cursed. The carriage stopped, Touya stepped out first. Yukito kept biting at his apple, he couldn't seem to get his eyes off it.
"Wow... The food here taste sooo good! I've never had an apple that tasted THIS good!" Yukito squeeled in delight. "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"
Touya sighed at his best friend. "Stop eating!" Touya grabbed the apple from Yukito and threw it to the ground.
They were at the entrance of a huge beggar bargains, that's what it was mostly called. Every peasant that was in the market was here. Today seemed very busy and sometimes they were a bit too close for comfort. The streets were shadowed by large trees over head, creating a nice cool breeze.
"No!" Yukito fell to his knees and looked at the dusty apple. "That was evil!" Yukito whined. "Doushite!" ( Why! )
Tomoyo giggled, she crept out of the cariage and jumped down. She grabbed her cousins hand and smiled. She was acting like a child. Touya tried to get out of her grip, but she just held him tighter.
"Where did you get all the 'chikara' from?" ( Strength )
"Always making things!" Tomoyo answered back. "Doko do they keep all the fabrics?" Tomoyo began to drag Touya now down the aisle of all the little stores.
Yukito was over looking at the food. His mouth was watering from all the foods placed infront of him. He moved his glasses up closer to his eyes, he couldn't believe all the varieties!
Touya took a quick breath. Tomoyo had been pulling him EVERYWHERE! She would look at a piece of fabric and ask hyaku ( 100 ) questions!"
"So where was this from? Do you have it in pink? OOOOO! Is this silk? Could you tell me the price? O no, it's not very large. Where has this been!?" She just kept critisizing every little thing wrong with it.
"Are you done yet Tomoyo-Chan?" Touya looked at her and pleaded with his eyes. He wanted to get out of here. many people that passed by would bow down, and give them distance.
"No... Do you see me holding anything?! This isn't fit for Sakura." Tomoyo looked annoyed at everything! The fabrics seemed cheap and wrinkled mostly. Also very faded and dirty.
Sakura... Touya gave Tomoyo one last glance and went around to find her.
Skillfully creeping away from her, he looked high and low, some people walked by with hoods over their heads and Touya would pull them off. Many of the people we're either young men or old women. Right when they had met his eyes, they would just bow down and ask for forgivness of thier sins. Somehow, this was getting really annoying!
"SAKURA.." He whispered annoyed. "Where the hell are you?!"
Tomoyo came skipping with three pieces of fabric. "Touya!" She waved. "Yukito wants you!"
"NANI!!??!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M LOOKING FOR MY SISTER! ARGGHHHH!!!" People from all around Touya stared at him.
Touya turned even redder then ever, Crimson!
Touya threw a tantrum. He clenched his fist, bit down on his his teeth and cussed in japanese.
"Stress! Sakura!" he yelled. He was going to find her no matter what! She was beginning to annoying him. Tomoyo with her fabric and Yukito with his food!
Every person who had stared were now bowing. Touya fumed!
He noticed how Tomoyo was trying to keep him with her. May be... She knew something he didn't!
"Tomoyo! Ima ( Now ) tell me nani (what ) happned to Sakura. Doushite ( why ) are you keeping me from the pianists room? If you were a good tomodachi ( friend )you would tell me where she is. I'm going to count to 3. Ichi... ( one )" Touya began.
Tomoyo halted. She was a good friend and telling Touya where his sister was would just ruin it. She would be in so much trouble, she wouldn't survive it. May be that's what her dream was telling her! Keep Touya away from them... Or Sakura will face deep depression from staying away from Syaoran.
"Nee!!!" ( 2!!! )
She wasn't going to tell. She could feel the tears coming.
"San!!!! ( 3!!!! )" Touya frowned at Tomoyo. Not even noticing her facial expression he just pushed people. walked on some of them and ran to the carriage, jumping in. He knew Yukito would take of Tomoyo for him. He was going to get to the room and figure out what Tomoyo was hiding.
Tomoyo shook from the tears. She cried and hid her face with the fabric. She looked over to where Yukito was, Slowly she ran past everyone away from the two, running away to a friends, far away from Touya.
Yukito looked up. There was noo one around him. "Hello?!" He yelled. No answer...
"FIRST THEY FORCE ME TO COME! THEN TOUYA HURTS MY APPLE! NOW... THEY LEAVE ME!!!" he stomped away to another food stand enraged by his 'friends.'
~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Touya felt the shaking of the carriage under his feet. It wasn't a very pleasant ride. He hated how Tomoyo his cousin could hide this from him! He was going to hurt Sakura, but not physically. He would ground her for her life! He swore to it!
"DAMMIT! CAN'T YOU HURRY UP?!" Touya yelled to the driver.
"Were here your highness." The driver said with attitude against Touya. But he didn't care, if that Pianist wasn't in his room he would hunt him down. Personally.
He ripped open the doors, his autumn red eyes filled with anger. He couldn't believe his sister, had she let him take her? There was something missing, his mother hadn't told him.
He ran to find hid mother, through the kitchen of all the cooks, some of them cursing in a different language. Touya pushed through and came to the great dining hall. The rich red walls and golden framed pictures, there he saw his mother Nadeshiko with her face covered.
"Mother?" Touya looked at her from afar, was she... Crying? He came jogging to her side and bent down near her.
She looked up, her eyes puffy.
"Mother."
"Touya-son i'm so- so sorry! I couldn't tell you! I just... Didn't want you to take such drastic..." She sat up straight and took a deep breath. "Touya you're not going anywhere." He voice finally becoming more powerful.
"I am the man of this house and I will find my little sister! What is that you didn't tell me?!" He yelled right in her face.
Nadeshiko fumed. She wasn't going to tell, no mattter how much the hurt of not having her daughter was.
Touya yelled louder at his mother. "WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!!!"
Nadeshiko brang her arm back and slapped her son. His eyes wide, his face glistened red. She had... had slapped him.
The tears became even worse. "Touya, honey I-"
Touya gave her one last look, practically disgusted and ran up the huge staircase. He ran until he reached the door. The room creaked open, the piano seemed untouched. The windows had finger prints all over them. Everything was there, except for the pianist.
Touya hit the piano and it placed a nasty collaboration, he twisted around and ran back down the stairs. Coming to a stop at the doors, he threw them open and ran out.
The air seemed angry and nasty. He looked around and saw the stable. The green grass had no sound under his feet, his dark chocolate hair whipped furiously in the wind. He stopped infront of the stable and looked for his horse.
Sakura and Touya had been very good horse rider's, it was a well known tradition that all the royal highnesses should be able to ride. Sakura was particularly good at it.
Touya opened the stable door and there he saw his and Sakura's horse. Sakura's was a snowy white stallion, it's hair just recently braided. Sakura never really liked the way the stable men treated the horses sometimes and she would occasionaly run here and talk to that horse.
Tenshi she called it. Angel in english. It's blue eyes glowed in the dark, Touya passed it and went over to his horse.
It's black, untamed mane whisked up. It kicked and puffed. Touya had named his horse, Kage Etowa-ru, Shadow Star. He liked the stars but it seemed whimpy to him, so he had asdded the shadow part.
He mounted the horse and hit it's behind. The gold he had in his pockets jingled. The horse kicked open it's door, it's black eyes blinded by the sudden light.
"I'm going to kill that Pianist if it's the last thing I do. No one takes my sister and lives to tell about it."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

"NANI!!??!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M LOOKING FOR MY SISTER! ARGGHHHH!!!" People from all around Touya stared at him.
Touya turned even redder then ever, Crimson!
Touya threw a tantrum. He clenched his fist, bit down on his his teeth and cussed in japanese.
"Stress! Sakura!" he yelled. He was going to find her no matter what! She was beginning to annoying him. Tomoyo with her fabric and Yukito with his food!
Every person who had stared were now bowing. Touya fumed!
He noticed how Tomoyo was trying to keep him with her. May be... She knew something he didn't!
"Tomoyo! Ima ( Now ) tell me nani (what ) happned to Sakura. Doushite ( why ) are you keeping me from the pianists room? If you were a good tomodachi ( friend )you would tell me where she is. I'm going to count to 3. Ichi... ( one )" Touya began.
Tomoyo halted. She was a good friend and telling Touya where his sister was would just ruin it. She would be in so much trouble, she wouldn't survive it. May be that's what her dream was telling her! Keep Touya away from them... Or Sakura will face deep depression from staying away from Syaoran.
"Nee!!!" ( 2!!! )
She wasn't going to tell. She could feel the tears coming.
"San!!!! ( 3!!!! )" Touya frowned at Tomoyo. Not even noticing her facial expression he just pushed people. walked on some of them and ran to the carriage, jumping in. He knew Yukito would take of Tomoyo for him. He was going to get to the room and figure out what Tomoyo was hiding.
Tomoyo shook from the tears. She cried and hid her face with the fabric. She looked over to where Yukito was, Slowly she ran past everyone away from the two, running away to a friends, far away from Touya.
Yukito looked up. There was noo one around him. "Hello?!" He yelled. No answer...
"FIRST THEY FORCE ME TO COME! THEN TOUYA HURTS MY APPLE! NOW... THEY LEAVE ME!!!" he stomped away to another food stand enraged by his 'friends.'
~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Touya felt the shaking of the carriage under his feet. It wasn't a very pleasant ride. He hated how Tomoyo his cousin could hide this from him! He was going to hurt Sakura, but not physically. He would ground her for her life! He swore to it!
"DAMMIT! CAN'T YOU HURRY UP?!" Touya yelled to the driver.
"Were here your highness." The driver said with attitude against Touya. But he didn't care, if that Pianist wasn't in his room he would hunt him down. Personally.
He ripped open the doors, his autumn red eyes filled with anger. He couldn't believe his sister, had she let him take her? There was something missing, his mother hadn't told him.
He ran to find hid mother, through the kitchen of all the cooks, some of them cursing in a different language. Touya pushed through and came to the great dining hall. The rich red walls and golden framed pictures, there he saw his mother Nadeshiko with her face covered.
"Mother?" Touya looked at her from afar, was she... Crying? He came jogging to her side and bent down near her.
She looked up, her eyes puffy.
"Mother."
"Touya-son i'm so- so sorry! I couldn't tell you! I just... Didn't want you to take such drastic..." She sat up straight and took a deep breath. "Touya you're not going anywhere." He voice finally becoming more powerful.
"I am the man of this house and I will find my little sister! What is that you didn't tell me?!" He yelled right in her face.
Nadeshiko fumed. She wasn't going to tell, no mattter how much the hurt of not having her daughter was.
Touya yelled louder at his mother. "WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!!!"
Nadeshiko brang her arm back and slapped her son. His eyes wide, his face glistened red. She had... had slapped him.
The tears became even worse. "Touya, honey I-"
Touya gave her one last look, practically disgusted and ran up the huge staircase. He ran until he reached the door. The room creaked open, the piano seemed untouched. The windows had finger prints all over them. Everything was there, except for the pianist.
Touya hit the piano and it placed a nasty collaboration, he twisted around and ran back down the stairs. Coming to a stop at the doors, he threw them open and ran out.
The air seemed angry and nasty. He looked around and saw the stable. The green grass had no sound under his feet, his dark chocolate hair whipped furiously in the wind. He stopped infront of the stable and looked for his horse.
Sakura and Touya had been very good horse rider's, it was a well known tradition that all the royal highnesses should be able to ride. Sakura was particularly good at it.
Touya opened the stable door and there he saw his and Sakura's horse. Sakura's was a snowy white stallion, it's hair just recently braided. Sakura never really liked the way the stable men treated the horses sometimes and she would occasionaly run here and talk to that horse.
Tenshi she called it. Angel in english. It's blue eyes glowed in the dark, Touya passed it and went over to his horse.
It's black, untamed mane whisked up. It kicked and puffed. Touya had named his horse, Kage Etowa-ru, Shadow Star. He liked the stars but it seemed whimpy to him, so he had asdded the shadow part.
He mounted the horse and hit it's behind. The gold he had in his pockets jingled. The horse kicked open it's door, it's black eyes blinded by the sudden light.
"I'm going to kill that Pianist if it's the last thing I do. No one takes my sister and lives to tell about it."
