Chapter Five - The Old , The Past, The Truth?
====================================================
"SYAORANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" Sakura cried and closed her eyes tightly, expecting the death blow very soon. She sat there.... and sat there.... and sat there.... until she hear a thump. Sakura looked up, slowly. First, she saw a bloody and dead kilcarbear. Then legs, hands, arms, and finally the amber eyes of Syaoran. He looked at her in concern.
"Are you OK princess??" Sakura stared at him then flung her arms around him. She sobbed. Syaoran was surprised at first but recovered and gently hugged her back. After a minute or so, Sakura pulled away. The two sat there, doing nothing.
"Umm... Syaoran?" Sakura asked after the pause of silence.
"Hmm?" Syaoran replied smiling and happy that Sakura used his name instead of 'slave'.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now, I think we should be leaving." He grunted as he got up and stretched. Sakura did the same. They headed back to the dojo, put away the weapons and Sakura put on her dress, and went back to the castle.
Next morning, there was a knock on Syaoran's door. He opened it. There stood Sakura, wearing a plain pink dress, and holding two books on each of her hands. He moved to let her in.
"What have I done to deserve this visit, princess?" he said gleefully.
"Err... Tomoyo said you liked books... so I got you some."
"Thank you princess," Syaoran said as he took the books from her, "thank you very much." Sakura looked down, blushing.
"Well, if there is anything I could do for you, don't hesitate to ask. After all, you saved my life." Syaoran looked thoughtful.
"Hmm... There is something that you could do for me...."
"What is it?"
"Well, from what I heard from Miss Tomoyo, you were this sweet and nice girl before. You could tell me what happened..."
"Fine, but under one condition. You have to tell me what happened to you exactly. Ok?" Syaoran nodded his agreement so Sakura took a deep breath and started to tell him the story.
"Well basicly the problem was caused by my distant cousin named Meiling. When I was about six or seven, she came to visit with her family. Natually, I was nice and tried to befriend her but she pushed me away. She said that she doesn't befriend 'weak' people. She said that I wasn't good enough for her or something and that to really get what you want, to rule good, and to make others like you, you have to be aggresive and strong. She made fun of me and so forth. I wanted to show her that I could be like her and that I could 'beat' her. So, I asked my father to teach me to fight and he said no. I forced slaves to teach me but they weren't really... good. Thats when I wanted a new slave to teach me which happened to be you and here I am now."
"Interesting... You know, what your cousin said was wrong. Besides, you don't have to be nasty and mean to be strong. Just look at me! By the way, are you sure your cousin's name is Meiling?"
"Yes. And I know I was wrong. I do feel better that I got that out of my system! I'm so stupid to even listen to her!!" Syaoran smiled briefly and then sighed.
"I guess I have to start my story now. I'll confess that I was not a warrior in training. I was.... the Prince of China." Sakura gasped.
"Yeah, I know. Very surprising, isn't it? Well, like I said, I was the Prince of China with 4 sisters and a mother. My father died when I was young. Anyway, I was actually supposed to marry Meiling, your cousin. Our parents arranged it. I never liked her. So... one day, our kingdom was attacked. It was a surprise attack and no one was really ready to fight and our kingdom was so used to peace that we didn't expect it at all. My mother was killed and so were my sisters. I hid and after the battle ended, their army found me and selled me to the slave market. I couldn't run away because I was weak. Not only was I beaten but you know about the magic that the royal blood of the Li clan are blessed with? Well, I'm the future leader of the Li clan and all so the day before the battle, I was practicing using my powers. I was all worn out and had no strength left to do anything. Maybe two days after I was in the market, you came along and bought me and whatever."
By the end of Syaoran's story, Sakura's eyes were popping out and her mouth was touching the floor. Syaoran looked at her, worried, but then burst out laughing. Sakura snapped back to reality and spoke angrily, "Whats so funny?!?!?!?"
"You Hahahahahahhahaha... Look Hahahaha So Hahaha funny!!" And he started laughing even harder at Sakura supposed to be mad expression.
"Oh, Shut Up!"
====================================================
