~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Syaoran came walking in, nervousness written clearly on his face to see Sakura. He saw her, sound asleep looking angelic just welcoming his arms to engulf her body. "Kini?" His voice weak.
Her eyes still closed, how he longed to see them open and reveal the vibrant green that they held. Those same orbs that had him lost looking into them, feeling like he was drowning but life made sense. All his problems would disappear when he was around her.
He moved closer, cautiously he crept up to her side. He felt so entranced by her motionless beauty, just the faint sound of her sweet breathing. His hands stroked her bangs back. She moaned softly, an electrical feeling swept through his arm, filling his whole body in the same second. His hand slowly caressing her cheek, with his will, or against it he didn't know. He smiled lovingly at her. For a friend, she had quite an effect on him. He felt her stirr again, she slowly opened her pools.
"S-Syaoran?" She asked lowly. Her voice feeling raspy and hoarse from the lack of water.
"Hey." He cooed. She smiled taking in a deep breath. "What happened?"
He hesitated for a moment, then explained briefly. "You fainted from a lack of vitamins, and a sudden shock." He looked away, his amber eyes fixed on the floor.
"Syao, i'm not mad at you. It was just-" She outstretched her arm, placing her fingers under his jaw, turning his face to face hers. Their eyes locked in an unreadable gaze, them cherishing every moment of it.
"I didn't want you to get hurt." She finished.
The time seemed like forever. And that never ending minute, Syaoran found the strength and courage in himself, he never thought he had. Their faces came dangerously closer and Syaoran 'pounced.'
Their lips locked in a deep kiss. Both visibly astonished at the fact, Syaoran had made the move. He had broken the barrier between them. Sakura's eyes open in amazment by his touch, her body tensed up. She slowly melted in his arms, closing her eyes. He deepened the kiss, he had to teach those lips no matter what it took! She opened her mouth reluctantly, allowing his tounge to slip in.
She moaned and grabbed his shirt, bringing him in closer to her. She felt like on air, as if she was flying staying in the same place.
The kiss became more passionate every second. Sakura's hands wrapped around his neck, his left hand cupping her face. She pulled him in more, lying back on the bed, his weight lightly pressing down on her. Sakura under him, pulled away against her will. She wanted the moment to last forever, needing a breath. They stared at each other, she admired his finely chisled face, he masaging her jaw with his hand.
"So, this is what it's like to have a girl as a friend." He smiled at her seductivly, hoping she would be open to another kiss.
"Where did you learn to kiss like that?" She asked, hugging him tighter. She loved the way he smelled, like wood and spices. Syaoran grinned.
"I was born with it, Cherry Blossom." He lied back on the bed, Sakura resting on his chest, not wanting to let go.
"My little wolf has instincts, hmmm?" She sat ontop of him, while he had his fingers in her hair. She asked him, looking closely.
His hands made their ways to Sakura's arm, rubbing it. He lied on his side, causing Sakura to fall beside him. She giggled, as his face fell into her neck. Sakura's eyes glazed over at his touch. His lips brushing against her skin.
"Syaoran." She mumbled.
"Hmmm?" He groaned, kissing her neck.
"I'm hungry." Laughter rang through the room.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Eriol stirred, light awakening him from his short slumber.
"Stupid sun..." He muttered. The light became more bright and fierce, Eriol looked to see what it was.
His head left the pillow, his face frozen in shock.
"The Diamond Rose..." He whispered, flabberghasted. He then realized something, the Diamond Rose never shone brightly, or even at all for that matter until Sakura showed up in Syaoran's life. That same mischevious smile spread across his face.
The rose was a sign of Syaoran's time before he was to rule the kingdom. His father had given it to him, but Eriol knew it ment something else.
That Diamond Rose also showed, the best suitor for his friend. And when he was around Sakura, did that thing glow!
Eriol got up and put a small blanket on top of the rose to hide it's eerie shine so he could get a good night's rest. "Syaoran already has his Queen in the making..." He muttered while falling back to the sweet surrender of the bed sheets.
Then again... The sun was rising.
"Dammit!" And he fell off the bed with a THUD.
(A/N Sorry... I LOVE TO TORTURE HIM! BUWAHAHHHA)
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The sun began to rise high up, illuminating and overtaking the darkness.
Tomoyo felt someone tugging at her.
"Wake up!" The person whispered harshly in her ear.
"Sleep... More sleep..." Tomoyo said groggigly.
"No more sleep! You're getting up NOW!" She pulled the covers and Tomoyo shivvered from the cold. "You know how to get a person up." She hissed while yawning.
"Welps, we have to get going now. If you do want to see Mei Ling, unless you wouldn't want to find Sakura." She knew that hit the spot.
"Get me my clothes! Get out of the room! Go Go Go!" Tomoyo screamed, changing furiously into her clothing, while tripping at the same time over her garments.
She combed her hair frustrated. "Dam tangles!"
Chiharu closed the door shaking her head. "Hopeless sometimes. Tomoyo, I pitty you!" She spoke up so that she could hear her.
"Pitty me all you want! it still won't help my tangled hair!" Chiahru laughed and walked down the short number of stairs to see Josey again. He was up and running like a motor. Cleaning the floor, sweeping and opening the windows.
"Good morning Josey!" He looked back and that same happiness leaped to his eyes.
"CHIHARU! IT'S BEEN AGES!" She looked at him puzzled, while he pat her head.
"Ages?"
"Well... You know what I mean." His voice came back stronger. "WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT?!" That voice could wake up anyone in the morning.
"Scrambled eggs please."
"With bacon!" Tomoyo's voice was heard from upstairs. A couple who were looking at each other lovingly said. "Pancakes." The man said. "Drizzled with maple syrup...Mmmmmm" The woman finished.
Chiharu shook her head. She looked to her right, noticing that Tomoyo was beside her looking at the couple in disgust.
'Get a room.' She thought. Then she remembered, that didn't do any good. She heard them last night.
Josey expertly tossed the eggs in his pan. Whistling while he worked.
"So Chiahru, you think Mei Ling will help us out at all?" She asked turning her attention away from the two love birds.
"Of course! No problem. I'm sure it won't take less than a month." Chiahru heard her friend gulp. Tomoyo's face becoming even more paler. "A whole m-month!?" She raised her voice.
"Your not the morning type person, are you child?" Asked Josey, who was now onto making the pancakes. Chiharu's pig tails bounced with every step she took to get the food.
"Tomoyo calm down. I'm sure it won't take that long." They both sat down at a table, away into a corner where they could find the best privacy.
"Chiharu, a month?! I can't wait that long." She whispered.
"Ahh, but if you were looking, do you think you'd find her any faster!?"
Tomoyo picked at her food, knowing the answer. "No, I couldn't. We're going after we're done our breakfast right?"
"Yup! Look on the bright side, at least we're not sitting around doing nothing. You got out of that palace, away from all that royal living. I'm not saying it's a boring life."
"O, you don't know the half of it. Boring is the nicest way of putting it. Or actually, it doesn't even explain any of it. Being a royal person means, you have the money and the life style. What about the formalities? The rules? The rich lords and dukes asking for your hand?" Tomoyo looked down at her plate.
"Well, in a way Sakura got you out of it. Meaning, we're on a wild goose chase that is brining back an adrenalin in your life! Not so boring, if I should say so myself." Chiahru took a sip of milk, leaving a white mustache around her mouth.
Tomoyo giggled and Chiahru eyed her.
"What's so funny?"
"I like the new mustache, it really brings out your male side." Tomoyo almost fell off her chair from laughing as Chiharu whiped her mouth, embarassed.
"Mr. Josey, got any thing sweet? I'm having a craving!" Tomoyo hollered to him. He smiled sympathetically. "PLEASE, CALL ME JOSEY! OF COURSE I HAVE SWEETS! What kind of man do you think I am?! CAKE, PUDDING.. YOU NAME IT, I CAN MAKE IT!" He winked at her and Tomoyo went over to ask for a treat.
~.*.~ 15 Minutes Later ~.*.~
Tomoyo walked out with stomach cramps.
"See I told you, to eat that stuff slowly!" Chiahru hated to tell her she was right. Tomoyo had seen the sugary treat and wolfed it down in a hurry.
"Eh... It hurts. But... I'm, I'm fine..." She said while holding her stomach.
"I never knew you could eat a WHOLE ENTIRE CAKE like that!" Chiahru mounted the stallion before her. Watching Tomoyo, who was having troubles.
"Well... It's not called a craving for nothing! Jeez, I can't get up on this animal." She was fully stressed at that moment. She kept dangling off the horse, unable to get her leg to move on to it's back, because her stomach was bulging out.
"One... Two... THREE!" She hoisted herself up, and smiled in content. "Who has skills, seriously?" Tomoyo smiled, shaking her head cooly.
"The horse. Holding all your weight when your full like that."
"Hey!" Tomoyo glared.
Chiahru ignored her and yelled into the door. "BYE JOSEY! WE'LL COME BACK TO HAVE SOME MORE FOOD, AND THEN WE'RE LEAVING!"
He waved them off.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Tomoyo's hair was pulled back, using a purple ribbon. Her eyes tearing from the wind against her pale face. Her hands grasping the reins of the horse tightly, she biting her lip from nervousness.
Chiharu looked at her with worried eyes.
"Tomoyo, it'll be okay." They made a turn, the smell of the fresh morning.
Chiahru shivvered, it was getting colder by the days that they had left their well known kingdom. When a scared Tomoyo came to her, asking to find her best friend. To find Sakura, who was tooken from her. She smiled at the thought.
"Kawaii..." She whispered lowly, so no one would hear her. But Tomoyo had and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
"Chiharu, you're catching on hmm?"
The horses made a right turn, where the street got darker. Creepilly, it sent chills down both girls' spines.
"We're here... Already." Chiharu jumped off the horse. Tomoyo, having her fist clenched up to her heart. As if she was trying to hold it.
"Are you ok, Tomoyo-Chan?"
"Perfectly fine." Chiharu led the way. She pushed open the rotting wood door, of the brick pub. Tomoyo's face scrunched up, she stopped breathing from her nose. The stench was horrible.
The lighting was dim, so low that it hurt her eyes to keep them open. Smoke over casted everything, men were sitting around tables, some with women sitting in their laps.
Tomoyo shook her head sadly. Her eyes squinted, trying to follow Chiahru. They pushed through the maze of chairs and tables.
Chiharu looked around. 'I know she's here.' She thought. 'She told me, whenever I needed anything else, she would always be here.' She saw a man bending over, trying to give a beautiful young woman a kiss.
Chiharu recognized her right away.
Her silky, sleek black hair framed her face perfectly. Her redish chesnut brown eyes, glowed freakily. Her skin, almost as pale as Tomoyo's, she looked like an angel that was rebelling against life.
Her clothes consisted of, Baggy white pants, an embroided shirt with beads, that showed enough cleavage. It furlled out at the shoulders, her strongly built stomach showing visibly. She held a knife in her palm, her long skinny fingers grasped around it.
Every second, she would be picking at her nails with the knife. Her ears were pierced, showing studs around the top of her ears. At the bottom, large hooped earrings shining silver.
Her lips, a simple red colour. And from her frowning face, she was angered at the man before her.
She gave him one glare, the man smiled drunkly. Tomoyo watched, very interested now getting used to the smell and the environment.
"Come here baby, you know you want me. You look lonely, I can fill you with pleasu-" The mysterious women got up quickly from the chair, pushing it back with her leg. She stood up, not towering over him but about the same size. Her long nails painted a blood red. She put her hands under the man's collar, and brang him closer.
"Sorry, I don't go for dogs." She pushed him back, he looked at her visbily pissed off.
"O, you think that'll make me stay away from you. C'mon you know you want this." All three women, Tomoyo, Chiharu and Mei Ling laughed lightly and watched with disgust.
"You heard me, now walk off and go play with your little prostitutes. I'm sure they'll be happy to play catch with you." She turned around, corssed her legs and sat in the chair.
The man steamed, his fat self shaking from anger. He stomped away, almost as if he was too drunk to walk.
Chiharu walked up confidently to Mei Ling. Tomoyo looked at the brave woman, she was a striking site.
"Mei Ling?"
The woman's head turned, and broke out into a sweet smile. "Chiahru." She said, Tomoyo able to read her lips. "Sit." She said simply.
Tomoyo stood, her hands together down to her thighs hanging there. Chiharu sat down, smiling brightly. "Tomoyo, sit down." Tomoyo looked at the chair then Chiharu. She made her way to the chair.
Mei Ling looked at the raven haired girl, jealous of her beauty, lightly jealous. "What brings you here?" She asked, placing her arms behind her head sitting back on the chair.
"I need you to find some one for me this time. Actually, it's not for me. It's for Tomoyo, here." Mei Ling looked, she frowned.
"O? Give me a description."
Chiharu smiled. "Well, it's like this. How the story goes is, a woman was stolen and a man had taken her away with him."
"Sounds like a loser." Mei Ling muttered.
"Well, i'm not the one knowing the story very well. Please Tomoyo, explain to her the situation."
Tomoyo looked up nervously. "My cousin, Sakura was taken from our kingdom by a man. This man had chocolate brown hair, amber coloured eyes, almost like yours. He was very tall, and played the piano very well."
Mei Ling watched her intersted. Sounded like someone she knew. "Do you know his name?" She was almost afraid to ask.
"Yes. But also there was another man. He had blue hair, and crystal blue eyes. He wore glasses, and is a prince from what I know."
"Mmmhmmm..."
"Their names are, Eriol and Syaoran."
At that moment, it seemed like an explosion just went off in the small pub.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Touya had a sinking feeling in his stomach. Somehow, when he was at the two crossings, he felt as if The Li Kingdom was the right path. Partly because his gut was telling him, and because he wouldn't of had a blind kid taking him to go and see the king. He felt pretty embarrassed at that remark.
"So... How do you know the King of this Kingdom?"
Takashi Yamazaki smiled evilly. "I told you, close relations. But I bet knowing anything about me is oddly lame. Could I ask you a few questions, so I may get to know you a bit better?" Takashi gave him a lop sided grin.
Touya fround, but it quickly left his face. "Sure."
"Okay...Now why did your sister run away?"
"What does THAT have anything to do about me?!?!?!!??!"
"Oh... Well I just thought it would-"
"My name is Touya, I am a prince, my sister ran away, as you can see what I look like, and I do NOT tolerate idiot's asking me personal questions!"
Takashi Yamazaki frowned, as if he was about to cry. "That tells me nothing..." He whined.
Touya shook his head. "How did I get stuck with you?"
"I followed you."
"Why!?" Touya's glare was right in Takashi's face.
"Ummm... I don't know. Just wanted to... Uh eh, err... Thought you needed help with that nervous look on your face." His body tensed up, he had just given himself away.
"What nervous look on my face?! I thought YOU were blind! How the hell can you tell what my facial expression is!" Touya froze, a thought replacing his anger...Oh my gosh, you are a witch!"
Takashi could've fallen to the ground in tears. This man was more of an idiot than he was! He didn't even know, Takashi wasn't blind.
"What makes you think I have magic?" He asked, even more interested.
"You say, you know the Li Kingdom. I hear the people related by blood...- He pulled Yamazaki in closer - Have magic." He whispered. "And if your blind, then how could you have seen my face!? Logical explanation..." He was actually afraid of this stragler.
Takashi took this into consideration. "Hmm... You know if you get me aggrivated I will hurt you..." Touya gulped.
"Just please help me find my sister. On the other hand..."
Takashi didn't like the way his voice was going. "May be you could use your magic to find my sister, huh?! Then we can get rid of each other in no time." Touya gripped the reins of the horse tighter, his knuckles white.
Takashi was the one with knocking knees. He had no magic! He lied... Again. May be there was some one trying to tell him, lying didn't get you any where. But he brushed it off, he had something more important to think about!
"Ummm... I can't use my magic at this time." He managed to squeek out.
"What do you mean?"
"Well..." He wasn't a good lier for nothing. "Knowing that I am blind, and very weak from following you using my magic, of course I would be drained! Now, if you can't see how flushed my face his - He tried to make his face a little red - and how tired my knees are -which were knocking because he was afraid - then you must be the one that is blind!" Oooo yea! He loved it when an idea popped up in his mind, even though he wished it came to him faster.
"Fine. Then when are you going to be able to use it."
"When I have regained my strength. But any ways, do you not see that castle before you at all?" He was thanking god their conversation was about to end.
"O. Well I hope you can talk to that King for the time being." Touya's horse snorted, it's back hurting a bit from carrying him that whole time.
The two men and the beast made their ways on the path. It lead to the front gates.
A gaurd was there, as usual.
"Who may you be? Leave now, this is no place for peasants." The ugly gaurd remarked, looking only at the poor clothing of Takashi's.
The horse puffed, that man had just insulted it! Touya was the one to speak for all three of them.
"I am Touya, of the Kinomoto Kingdom. Now if you would please step aside and let us through, I would very much appreciate it." He said it mannerly, or as much manners as he could put into that short phrase.
"What business do you have here?!"
Takashi took his turn in line. "If you cannot tell, I am a friend of the king. Now STEP ASIDE and LET US THROUGH." he said it in a stern voice. The gaurd looked him over, and let him pass with a sigh. If this poor commener was lying, but the king could have him be-headed with ease, if he was fibing.
"You may pass..." He managed to say, with his lips in a straight line.
Yamazaki smiled content, motioning for Touya to follow him in.

Eriol stirred, light awakening him from his short slumber.
"Stupid sun..." He muttered. The light became more bright and fierce, Eriol looked to see what it was.
His head left the pillow, his face frozen in shock.
"The Diamond Rose..." He whispered, flabberghasted. He then realized something, the Diamond Rose never shone brightly, or even at all for that matter until Sakura showed up in Syaoran's life. That same mischevious smile spread across his face.

Eriol got up and put a small blanket on top of the rose to hide it's eerie shine so he could get a good night's rest. "Syaoran already has his Queen in the making..." He muttered while falling back to the sweet surrender of the bed sheets.
Then again... The sun was rising.
"Dammit!" And he fell off the bed with a THUD.
(A/N Sorry... I LOVE TO TORTURE HIM! BUWAHAHHHA)
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The sun began to rise high up, illuminating and overtaking the darkness.
Tomoyo felt someone tugging at her.
"Wake up!" The person whispered harshly in her ear.
"Sleep... More sleep..." Tomoyo said groggigly.
"No more sleep! You're getting up NOW!" She pulled the covers and Tomoyo shivvered from the cold. "You know how to get a person up." She hissed while yawning.
"Welps, we have to get going now. If you do want to see Mei Ling, unless you wouldn't want to find Sakura." She knew that hit the spot.
"Get me my clothes! Get out of the room! Go Go Go!" Tomoyo screamed, changing furiously into her clothing, while tripping at the same time over her garments.
She combed her hair frustrated. "Dam tangles!"
Chiharu closed the door shaking her head. "Hopeless sometimes. Tomoyo, I pitty you!" She spoke up so that she could hear her.
"Pitty me all you want! it still won't help my tangled hair!" Chiahru laughed and walked down the short number of stairs to see Josey again. He was up and running like a motor. Cleaning the floor, sweeping and opening the windows.
"Good morning Josey!" He looked back and that same happiness leaped to his eyes.
"CHIHARU! IT'S BEEN AGES!" She looked at him puzzled, while he pat her head.
"Ages?"
"Well... You know what I mean." His voice came back stronger. "WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT?!" That voice could wake up anyone in the morning.
"Scrambled eggs please."
"With bacon!" Tomoyo's voice was heard from upstairs. A couple who were looking at each other lovingly said. "Pancakes." The man said. "Drizzled with maple syrup...Mmmmmm" The woman finished.
Chiharu shook her head. She looked to her right, noticing that Tomoyo was beside her looking at the couple in disgust.
'Get a room.' She thought. Then she remembered, that didn't do any good. She heard them last night.
Josey expertly tossed the eggs in his pan. Whistling while he worked.
"So Chiahru, you think Mei Ling will help us out at all?" She asked turning her attention away from the two love birds.
"Of course! No problem. I'm sure it won't take less than a month." Chiahru heard her friend gulp. Tomoyo's face becoming even more paler. "A whole m-month!?" She raised her voice.
"Your not the morning type person, are you child?" Asked Josey, who was now onto making the pancakes. Chiharu's pig tails bounced with every step she took to get the food.
"Tomoyo calm down. I'm sure it won't take that long." They both sat down at a table, away into a corner where they could find the best privacy.
"Chiharu, a month?! I can't wait that long." She whispered.
"Ahh, but if you were looking, do you think you'd find her any faster!?"
Tomoyo picked at her food, knowing the answer. "No, I couldn't. We're going after we're done our breakfast right?"
"Yup! Look on the bright side, at least we're not sitting around doing nothing. You got out of that palace, away from all that royal living. I'm not saying it's a boring life."
"O, you don't know the half of it. Boring is the nicest way of putting it. Or actually, it doesn't even explain any of it. Being a royal person means, you have the money and the life style.

"Well, in a way Sakura got you out of it. Meaning, we're on a wild goose chase that is brining back an adrenalin in your life! Not so boring, if I should say so myself." Chiahru took a sip of milk, leaving a white mustache around her mouth.
Tomoyo giggled and Chiahru eyed her.
"What's so funny?"
"I like the new mustache, it really brings out your male side." Tomoyo almost fell off her chair from laughing as Chiharu whiped her mouth, embarassed.
"Mr. Josey, got any thing sweet? I'm having a craving!" Tomoyo hollered to him. He smiled sympathetically. "PLEASE, CALL ME JOSEY! OF COURSE I HAVE SWEETS! What kind of man do you think I am?! CAKE, PUDDING.. YOU NAME IT, I CAN MAKE IT!" He winked at her and Tomoyo went over to ask for a treat.
~.*.~ 15 Minutes Later ~.*.~
Tomoyo walked out with stomach cramps.
"See I told you, to eat that stuff slowly!" Chiahru hated to tell her she was right. Tomoyo had seen the sugary treat and wolfed it down in a hurry.
"Eh... It hurts. But... I'm, I'm fine..." She said while holding her stomach.
"I never knew you could eat a WHOLE ENTIRE CAKE like that!" Chiahru mounted the stallion before her. Watching Tomoyo, who was having troubles.
"Well... It's not called a craving for nothing! Jeez, I can't get up on this animal." She was fully stressed at that moment. She kept dangling off the horse, unable to get her leg to move on to it's back, because her stomach was bulging out.
"One... Two... THREE!" She hoisted herself up, and smiled in content. "Who has skills, seriously?" Tomoyo smiled, shaking her head cooly.
"The horse. Holding all your weight when your full like that."
"Hey!" Tomoyo glared.
Chiahru ignored her and yelled into the door. "BYE JOSEY! WE'LL COME BACK TO HAVE SOME MORE FOOD, AND THEN WE'RE LEAVING!"
He waved them off.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Tomoyo's hair was pulled back, using a purple ribbon. Her eyes tearing from the wind against her pale face. Her hands grasping the reins of the horse tightly, she biting her lip from nervousness.
Chiharu looked at her with worried eyes.
"Tomoyo, it'll be okay." They made a turn, the smell of the fresh morning.
Chiahru shivvered, it was getting colder by the days that they had left their well known kingdom. When a scared Tomoyo came to her, asking to find her best friend. To find Sakura, who was tooken from her. She smiled at the thought.
"Kawaii..." She whispered lowly, so no one would hear her. But Tomoyo had and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
"Chiharu, you're catching on hmm?"
The horses made a right turn, where the street got darker. Creepilly, it sent chills down both girls' spines.
"We're here... Already." Chiharu jumped off the horse. Tomoyo, having her fist clenched up to her heart. As if she was trying to hold it.
"Are you ok, Tomoyo-Chan?"
"Perfectly fine." Chiharu led the way. She pushed open the rotting wood door, of the brick pub. Tomoyo's face scrunched up, she stopped breathing from her nose. The stench was horrible.
The lighting was dim, so low that it hurt her eyes to keep them open. Smoke over casted everything, men were sitting around tables, some with women sitting in their laps.
Tomoyo shook her head sadly. Her eyes squinted, trying to follow Chiahru. They pushed through the maze of chairs and tables.
Chiharu looked around. 'I know she's here.' She thought. 'She told me, whenever I needed anything else, she would always be here.' She saw a man bending over, trying to give a beautiful young woman a kiss.
Chiharu recognized her right away.
Her silky, sleek black hair framed her face perfectly. Her redish chesnut brown eyes, glowed freakily. Her skin, almost as pale as Tomoyo's, she looked like an angel that was rebelling against life.
Her clothes consisted of, Baggy white pants, an embroided shirt with beads, that showed enough cleavage. It furlled out at the shoulders, her strongly built stomach showing visibly. She held a knife in her palm, her long skinny fingers grasped around it.
Every second, she would be picking at her nails with the knife. Her ears were pierced, showing studs around the top of her ears. At the bottom, large hooped earrings shining silver.
Her lips, a simple red colour. And from her frowning face, she was angered at the man before her.
She gave him one glare, the man smiled drunkly. Tomoyo watched, very interested now getting used to the smell and the environment.
"Come here baby, you know you want me. You look lonely, I can fill you with pleasu-" The mysterious women got up quickly from the chair, pushing it back with her leg. She stood up, not towering over him but about the same size. Her long nails painted a blood red. She put her hands under the man's collar, and brang him closer.
"Sorry, I don't go for dogs." She pushed him back, he looked at her visbily pissed off.
"O, you think that'll make me stay away from you. C'mon you know you want this." All three women, Tomoyo, Chiharu and Mei Ling laughed lightly and watched with disgust.
"You heard me, now walk off and go play with your little prostitutes. I'm sure they'll be happy to play catch with you." She turned around, corssed her legs and sat in the chair.
The man steamed, his fat self shaking from anger. He stomped away, almost as if he was too drunk to walk.
Chiharu walked up confidently to Mei Ling. Tomoyo looked at the brave woman, she was a striking site.
"Mei Ling?"
The woman's head turned, and broke out into a sweet smile. "Chiahru." She said, Tomoyo able to read her lips. "Sit." She said simply.
Tomoyo stood, her hands together down to her thighs hanging there. Chiharu sat down, smiling brightly. "Tomoyo, sit down." Tomoyo looked at the chair then Chiharu. She made her way to the chair.
Mei Ling looked at the raven haired girl, jealous of her beauty, lightly jealous. "What brings you here?" She asked, placing her arms behind her head sitting back on the chair.
"I need you to find some one for me this time. Actually, it's not for me. It's for Tomoyo, here." Mei Ling looked, she frowned.
"O? Give me a description."
Chiharu smiled. "Well, it's like this. How the story goes is, a woman was stolen and a man had taken her away with him."
"Sounds like a loser." Mei Ling muttered.
"Well, i'm not the one knowing the story very well. Please Tomoyo, explain to her the situation."
Tomoyo looked up nervously. "My cousin, Sakura was taken from our kingdom by a man. This man had chocolate brown hair, amber coloured eyes, almost like yours. He was very tall, and played the piano very well."
Mei Ling watched her intersted. Sounded like someone she knew. "Do you know his name?" She was almost afraid to ask.
"Yes. But also there was another man. He had blue hair, and crystal blue eyes. He wore glasses, and is a prince from what I know."
"Mmmhmmm..."
"Their names are, Eriol and Syaoran."
At that moment, it seemed like an explosion just went off in the small pub.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Touya had a sinking feeling in his stomach. Somehow, when he was at the two crossings, he felt as if The Li Kingdom was the right path. Partly because his gut was telling him, and because he wouldn't of had a blind kid taking him to go and see the king. He felt pretty embarrassed at that remark.
"So... How do you know the King of this Kingdom?"
Takashi Yamazaki smiled evilly. "I told you, close relations. But I bet knowing anything about me is oddly lame. Could I ask you a few questions, so I may get to know you a bit better?" Takashi gave him a lop sided grin.
Touya fround, but it quickly left his face. "Sure."
"Okay...Now why did your sister run away?"
"What does THAT have anything to do about me?!?!?!!??!"
"Oh... Well I just thought it would-"
"My name is Touya, I am a prince, my sister ran away, as you can see what I look like, and I do NOT tolerate idiot's asking me personal questions!"
Takashi Yamazaki frowned, as if he was about to cry. "That tells me nothing..." He whined.
Touya shook his head. "How did I get stuck with you?"
"I followed you."
"Why!?" Touya's glare was right in Takashi's face.
"Ummm... I don't know. Just wanted to... Uh eh, err... Thought you needed help with that nervous look on your face." His body tensed up, he had just given himself away.
"What nervous look on my face?! I thought YOU were blind! How the hell can you tell what my facial expression is!" Touya froze, a thought replacing his anger...Oh my gosh, you are a witch!"
Takashi could've fallen to the ground in tears. This man was more of an idiot than he was! He didn't even know, Takashi wasn't blind.
"What makes you think I have magic?" He asked, even more interested.
"You say, you know the Li Kingdom. I hear the people related by blood...- He pulled Yamazaki in closer - Have magic." He whispered. "And if your blind, then how could you have seen my face!? Logical explanation..." He was actually afraid of this stragler.
Takashi took this into consideration. "Hmm... You know if you get me aggrivated I will hurt you..." Touya gulped.
"Just please help me find my sister. On the other hand..."
Takashi didn't like the way his voice was going. "May be you could use your magic to find my sister, huh?! Then we can get rid of each other in no time." Touya gripped the reins of the horse tighter, his knuckles white.
Takashi was the one with knocking knees. He had no magic! He lied... Again. May be there was some one trying to tell him, lying didn't get you any where. But he brushed it off, he had something more important to think about!
"Ummm... I can't use my magic at this time." He managed to squeek out.
"What do you mean?"
"Well..." He wasn't a good lier for nothing. "Knowing that I am blind, and very weak from following you using my magic, of course I would be drained! Now, if you can't see how flushed my face his - He tried to make his face a little red - and how tired my knees are -which were knocking because he was afraid - then you must be the one that is blind!" Oooo yea! He loved it when an idea popped up in his mind, even though he wished it came to him faster.
"Fine. Then when are you going to be able to use it."
"When I have regained my strength. But any ways, do you not see that castle before you at all?" He was thanking god their conversation was about to end.
"O. Well I hope you can talk to that King for the time being." Touya's horse snorted, it's back hurting a bit from carrying him that whole time.
The two men and the beast made their ways on the path. It lead to the front gates.
A gaurd was there, as usual.
"Who may you be? Leave now, this is no place for peasants." The ugly gaurd remarked, looking only at the poor clothing of Takashi's.
The horse puffed, that man had just insulted it! Touya was the one to speak for all three of them.
"I am Touya, of the Kinomoto Kingdom. Now if you would please step aside and let us through, I would very much appreciate it." He said it mannerly, or as much manners as he could put into that short phrase.
"What business do you have here?!"
Takashi took his turn in line. "If you cannot tell, I am a friend of the king. Now STEP ASIDE and LET US THROUGH." he said it in a stern voice. The gaurd looked him over, and let him pass with a sigh. If this poor commener was lying, but the king could have him be-headed with ease, if he was fibing.
"You may pass..." He managed to say, with his lips in a straight line.
Yamazaki smiled content, motioning for Touya to follow him in.
