"Nooo.." He murmured. "She only wanted to win, many women I know are like that. Alway's their way..." Suddenly their gaze locked. He could see her eyes, she could see his.
"What am I going to do," The both of them said in unision at the same time from opposite ends.

Touya glared at the sunset. "Dammit, it's getting late already!" Touya had no idea on where to start looking for his sister and that pianist. It just sent anger pulsing through his body everytime he thought of it. What if Sakura was hurt? What if something had happened... He would never know until word was sent out.
"Sakura, I just don't understand why you would let him take you away." He sighed and looked at where he was. Only about a mile away from his castle, he touched his face. It didn't hurt, but the feeling his mother had put in that slap scared him. Why would she have done it? It just didn't make any sense to him. The horse heaved a puff, it startled Touya from his thoughts.
The stallion trotted slowly down the road, he was in a hurry but there was no use if he was looking for her to be blinded by anger. Which usually happened anyway. His father had also disappeared, or some business trip. But how could he believe that now? His mother had lied to him about Sakura being near, why wouldn't she lie about his father also? Could the pianist have tooken his father? No, that was impossible. He had left before the whole incident. Then suddenly a thought struck him.
Oddly, the pianist was gone, his sister was gone, his father was away, his mother was distant and that prince that came for his sister's hand! He may have also been in on the idea of taking her. But what was the idea of taking her? She was of nothing of an importance to them, she wasn't even fit yet to rule anything, or make desicions. So, what was of that matter!?
Touya shook his head. Thoughts were devastating for him, they never answered questions. Just clogged up his mind. That was usually why he acted first before he thought about it. No hesitation was the key to be a great warrior. Hesitate, in battle was another way of saying you're dead.
The sun came setting even lower and the oranges, purples and reds made a breath taking image infront of his chestnut eyes. He pulled on the reins of the horse. He could see lots of markings around the ground beneath him, but he probably wouldn't be able to tell, which was Sakura's and which weren't. That was another thing he hated... Tracking people down. If he could righ now, he would get someone else to do it for him. But that would mean he couldn't torture her... In a brotherly way, kinda.
"I wonder how Yukito and Tomoyo are right now..."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Tomoyo walked through the traffic of people. She was so angry at Touya, he had no feelings! He didn't care about anything but himself. That made her so angry, maybe a friend of hers could help her straighten things out with everything going on. It was so hectic. Find Sakura, where is she... It was becoming like... Annoying. Tomoyo knew she was fine, it was a totaly soap operha! She wasn't allowed, more likely she didn't want to tell. Her dreams supported her idea, do not tell Touya.
She brushed up against a man and muttered a half hearted "Sorry." He kinda grunted and ket walking. Tomoyo looked at the house around her. "She's got to be in one of these." She looked around, the one she was headed at was very small. Kind of like a shack, people that werent of Royalty, had nothing. It was either your rich, or your stinking poor. She saw it there, looking lonesome and naked. She walked over, trying to dodge some people because of their rushing, she knocked softly.
The door creaked open. "Yes?" A girl with dark brown eyes answered. "Chiharu, it's me, Tomoyo." Her eyes lightened and she opened the door, full wing. "TOMOYO-CHAN! I HAVENT SEEN YOU IN AGES!" She wrapped her arms around her happily. Tomoyo just smiled back, sadly. "What's wrong Tomoyo?" Chiharu's curly hair jumped every time she spoke. "Sakura has been kidnapped-" "Oh my! You don't say! We have to-" "I didn't finish Chiharu..." "O, sorry." Chiharu whispered shamefully. "She wasn't exactly, KIDNAPPED, it was more umm... I can't really explain it." She looked down to her feet. "She was kidnapped by the royal pianist." Chiharu gasped. "But I know he wont hurt her. He loves her, it's so obvious but oblivious to their eyes. Chiharu, you have to help me find them! It's my only way of keeping her happy, away from Touya."
Chiahru stared. "You're confusing me." Tomoyo shook her head. "I can't tell you everything, it's just too complicated." "Tomoyo, I have all day." Tomoyo was seated at the small wodden table and Chiharu went to make some green tea. Tomoyo sighed. This might be harder than she thought, keeping a secret that could mean your best friends life was a big job, especially hiding it from Touya.
Chiharu came walking back with two cups of tea. "Here Tomoyo. Now, start from the beginning." Tomoyo took a deep breath. "It all started when my uncle, Fujitaka needed a new pianist. Well, the guy, named Syaoran tried and he well, got the job. I could tell Sakura and him had a thing for each other after their meeting incident, which was totally kawaii. Any ways, the pianist held a secret, more than one. I know he is not who he seems to be, there was also another one with them.His name is Eriol. He said he was a prince, I don't know if that is even true. He tried to take Sakura's hand- She didn't add the jealously part in-" but she resisted it. And well, Sakura isn't a type of girl who is charmed quite easily- Chiharu giggled.-So she ended up keeping him from her life. She was totally fed up with her father making her find a man, that isn't what she wants. She always told me, I want him to find me, or I find him, not my parents to. They always think, he should be that perfect gentleman, have all the aspects of life pretty much figured out, but that's not what I want. I want a man, who is mysterious, charming and atleast decent looking- Tomoyo smiled at her memories -So Syaoran seems to pretty much fill that picture." She took a sip of tea. "And, after this I tried to get them together. So he set a date with her, piano lessons. Sakura wouldn't admit, it wasn't more than piano lesons. She lied, I knew it right there, right then. I got her ready, as always and well... She didn't come back after that. The gaurds told of them two, Syaoran and Eriol stealing the Diamond Rose, I don't expect you to know what that is Chiharu.- Chiharu surprisingly nodded her head. "Yes I do. But continue with the story." Tomoyo gave her a look, took another sip and went on. "I think they took her because, she found something out." Tomoyo felt like she took a boulder off her chest.
"Aha... So you want me to help you find her?"
"Your good." Tomoyo smiled. "But uhh... Tell me about that rose..."
"O, I will in a sec. But I just got a great idea on how to find Sakura!" She jumped and twirled and sat back in the chair.
"And, what would that be?"
"I know of a stalker, eh hunter... Well you could say. She would help us find them, her name is Meiling Rae..." Tomoyo's eyes shot open. "Of the Li Kingdom!?"
Chiharu nodded her head. "Yea, how do you know?"
"Umm... I kind of spy on Touya sometimes, he gets her to come and help him with business that he does, which I have no idea what it is...."
"So you know her?"
"No. But how could we reach her? That Li Kingdom is very self centered, they never speak of each other. I don't even know the name of their queen..."
Chiharu stared then explained on how she could help or get help to find Sakura. "Then it's settled, were going to find Sakura before Touya does!" She hit the table determinly and flipped her cup of tea.
"Oh my!"
"Sorry Chiharu..."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Eriol looked sadly at the event that had just occured. "Darn, they were getting so close!" He yelled and smacked the chair. He looked over at the Diamond Rose, it was losing it's shine. Soon a pedal would fall...
"Syaoran if only you knew why this is worth more than half your riches..." He whispered sadly. Then a huge boom was heard at the door, Eriol ducked behind the chair.
"ERIOL! MAKE-OVER TIME!!!"
'OH NO! IT WAS SYAORAN'S SISTERS!!! I GOTTA RUN!' He thought drastically and dashed to the other side of the room.
"I'm doomed..." He whispered, half shivvering... ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
