Everlasting Story



Chapter 6. Plans





Sakura's mouth dropped open. She tried to speak but no words came out.

"Sakura, I'd like to introduce you to my beautiful tenshi, Tomoyo, in other words, your best friend," Eriol said.

Tomoyo blushed slightly.

"TOMOYO!!!!!!!" Sakura shrieked at last, running over.

"Sakura.." Tomoyo said embracing her with a soft smile.

Sakura let go of Tomoyo. "W-what are you doing here?" Sakura asked.

"I could ask you the same question," Tomoyo responded.

"Aren't you at your relatives?" Sakura asked.

"I am," Tomoyo replied.

Sakura stared at her, her mouth open in surprise. "Y-you are the Princess of Taikokyu?

Tomoyo nodded. "So, I guess you're the Mistress of Clow?"

Sakura nodded. 'Wow.. All this time Tomoyo was really from this world.'

'Wow.. All this time Sakura was the Mistress we were searching for,' Tomoyo thought.

They hugged each other one more time.

"Alright! Enough of the touching reunion, I want a meeting in the dining room at 7! Dismissed!" Syaoran ordered marching out of the room.

Everybody laughed and nodded following him out of the room.





Sakura followed Meiling to her room. Meiling smiled at her.

"Sakura, you have a choice of a guestroom or a royal room," she said. "Your choice!"

Sakura stared. "Y-you mean that huge expensive room like Tomoyo's?"

Meiling nodded.

"Let's see the guestroom first," Sakura said.

Meiling shrugged and led her to a normal white door with a brass handle. On the door was a golden plate and engraved in it were the numbers 902. She opened the door.

Inside the guestroom, was a normal single bed, one night table, a desk with a lamp, nice thin curtains and your own private bathroom. The wallpaper was imprinted with cheerful cherry blossoms, and mostly everything was pink. The room was just a normal sized bedroom, nothing special about it. Sakura thought it suited her very much.

"Hmmm.." Sakura thought aloud. "I guess I'll have to choose.. this.."

Meiling gasped staring at her shocked.

"Just joking!" Sakura said with a bright smile.

Meiling sweatdropped and fell, animé style.

Five minutes later, they stood in front of two huge golden doors. Before they went in, Meiling gave Sakura the key to the door.

"Don't give your key to anybody. There are rumours about a spy in the castle," Meiling warned.

Sakura nodded and used the key to open the door.

Inside was, not a four-poster bed, but a nice queen sized bed with what seemed like ten light pink pillows and about three or so pink comforters and sheets. Beside it was a wooden night table with a lamp decorated with little jewels. There was huge empty wardrobe and a desk with a table lamp on it. On the far side of the room, were huge windows with light pink curtains and Sakura could see a large balcony. Across the room was a private washroom and beside were two other doors.

"What're in those?" Sakura asked.

"That one is a closet," Meiling said pointing at the door closest to the bathroom. "And that, is just a room full of couches and tables."

Sakura nodded.

"So, get dressed in a proper outfit and we'll meet you at the dining room at 7!" Meiling said leaving and closing the door behind her.

"W-wait! Where's the dining room?!" Sakura called.

"An escort will come!" she heard from behind the door.

Sakura sighed and looked at her watch. It was 6. 'Looks like I have free time,' Sakura thought placing her bag on her bed.

She went to the closet door and opened it. What she saw made her gasp. There was what seemed like 100 clothes. Dresses, shirts, pants, underwears, night gowns, pyjamas, shoes. She quickly chose a nice sleeveless pink dress, and walked into the washroom. (a/n: She took her underwear too! -_- ;)

She turned on the tap of the bath and took off her dirty worn clothes. She saw a bottle of shampoo, a bar of soap, and a dish of rosemary petals. While the water was running, she threw some petals in and watched them glide.

'Wow,' Sakura thought. 'They sure know how to treat a guest.'

When the water was ready, she sank in. As soon as she was in the tub, Sakura felt relaxed and all her worries taken off. Her sore feet felt wonderful in the nice warm water. She rubbed her body with the nice ivory soap and poured shampoo into her tangled hair, and played with the petals.

'Ahhh.' Sakura thought, running her hand through her hair. 'What could be more relaxing.'

About half an hour later of just lying there, Sakura finally got up and changed.

She walked out of the bathroom, and looked around.

'What to do, what to do,' Sakura thought walking around.

She decided on unpacking her little bag. She felt embarrassed of her dirty old clothes to the nice formal clothes in the huge closet. She took out her photo album and looked at the pictures. She started crying. She missed her family already. She even missed her brother's annoying teasing.

"I miss you so much," Sakura sobbed. "But, I'll do this journey for you, dad, and I'll come back safely."

Sakura wiped her tears away. "I promise."

There was a sound at her door and she looked up startled. Standing there with sympathetic eyes was Syaoran, wearing a modern navy blue t-shirt and baggy black jeans.

Sakura gasped. "What are you doing here?!" Sakura's surprise quickly turned to anger.

Syaoran's sympathy vanished to a look with no expression. "I knocked but no one answered, and I found your door open."

Sakura sighed and didn't bother to argue, though she could've sworn she had locked her door securely. "Well, are you my escort?"

Syaoran nodded. "So let's get going already!"

"Alright! Gee, what's the big rush?" Sakura asked, looking at her watch. "It's only 6:45!"

"Well, you better hide your technical device before everybody comes rushing to see what it is," Syaoran stated.

Sakura nodded and put it on her night table. Then she walked over to Syaoran who opened the door and gestured for her to go out first.

"After you, my lady," he said sweetly with a huge smile on his face.

"Why, thank you, kind sir," Sakura said sarcastically.

"And, how was your day today, Ms. Sakura?" Syaoran said.

"My day was fine," Sakura answered. "And how was yours, Mr. Xiao Lang," Sakura added imitating Meiling.

Syaoran looked surprised and smirked. "My day? It was fine, but it just got better being able to walk with you, beautiful Ying Fa."

Sakura blushed but quickly covered it, but Syaoran noticed.

"How nice of you to say so, handsome gentleman," Sakura said smiling sweetly.

Syaoran's face turned red but was fast changed, but Sakura too, noticed.

"You blushed!" they said at the same time, and burst out laughing.

"What is Ying Fa?" Sakura asked.

"It means cherry blossom in my language," Syaoran answered, turning a corner.

Sakura followed and asked, "This country speaks Chinese right?"

Syaoran nodded. "But, we have to learn Japanese in our classes."

"We have to learn Chinese in our world, too," Sakura said.

Syaoran didn't say anything.

"Syaoran, was that you I saw when I was walking home?" Sakura asked.

He looked at her. "You mean you were that girl with your group of friends?"

Sakura nodded.

"Oh. I didn't recognize you," Syaoran said. "The other one was much prettier," he added with a chuckle.

Sakura elbowed him in the stomach and walked faster.

"Awww, Sakura!" Syaoran laughed running to catch up. "I was just joking!"

She kept on walking.

"Alright, I'm sorry."

"Apology unaccepted," Sakura said with a grin.

Syaoran pouted. "Sakura!!!"

Sakura laughed. "Fine, you're forgiven. How can I stay mad at someone as cute as you?"

Syaoran sighed. "I know I'm cute, but not as cute as you."

Sakura shook her head. "Nah, you're much cuter."

"No, Sakura you are."

They kept on arguing all the way to the dining room entrance. Inside, they saw a long table where everyone was waiting.

"See, I told you, everybody always arrives early so you have to come early," Syaoran said to Sakura opening the glass doors.

Sakura shrugged and walked in. "Konbanwa!"

"Good evening!" came the cheerful replies.

She looked around and saw that everyone was there except Yelan. She thought it must be a teen meeting and didn't bother to ask.

Sakura and Syaoran took their seats beside each other and Syaoran started talking.

"Ok," he said closing his eyes. "First off."

Everyone waited.

"Would you like dinner or the talk first?"

They all fell out of their chairs. (a/n: Remember! Animé style!)

"Let's get over with the boring part first," Eriol suggested. "So let's get on with the talk."

Everybody agreed.

"Ok, well we have to discuss the journey to The One," Syaoran said. "How are we going to travel and who's going?"

"Well, that's pretty obvious," Tomoyo said. "We'll just stick with the normal horses and dress up like peasants."

"No, I think we should walk considering we'll have to go through the Konyuka village where horses are uncommon, as to not attract attention," Eriol argued.

"But, that'll take forever if we walk!" Tomoyo argued back.

"How about if we have two people on a horse so Sakura and I can take 3 horses and Syaoran, Meiling, Tomoyo and Eriol can walk, since we are not royalty," Yue suggested.

"Brilliant!" Syaoran exclaimed. "Does everyone agree?"

They all nodded and Meiling added evilly, "As long as Sakura and Syaoran are on a horse together!"

"Meiling!" Sakura and Syaoran exclaimed together both blushing.

Meiling giggled.

Syaoran cleared his throat, still blushing. "Well anyways, does that mean we're all going?"

Eriol nodded.

"Wait, is Mrs. Li going?" Sakura asked.

"No!" Syaoran exclaimed quickly.

Sakura laughed. "What, you don't want your mommy to tag along?"

Syaoran ignored her and said, "Great, we got everything we need since I'm the emperor, now when are we going?"

"I say, we go some time next week," Sakura stated.

"What?!" Syaoran shouted.

"Come off it, Syaoran, Sakura needs to relax and have a good stay at the palace," Tomoyo said.

Syaoran grumbled something and Eriol said, "Tomoyo's right, we have to make sure Sakura enjoys at least something in the journey."

Everyone agreed again, Syaoran shrugged, giving up, and Sakura smiled brightly.

"So, I'm hungry, is the dinner ready?" Sakura asked.

"It's always ready when we're ready," Syaoran said. "Are there any questions?"

"Yes," Sakura said. "Can we eat now?"

"Any other questions dealing with the trip?" Syaoran rolled his eyes.

Everyone shook their heads, and Syaoran called over the waiters. The waiters placed menus in front of them and they chose what to have.

"Anything, will be fine with me!" Sakura said before a waiter could place a menu in front of her.

"Same here," Syaoran said.

Meiling, Tomoyo, Eriol and Yue chose their meals and waited patiently for the food to come.

"I hope you're not a pig," Syaoran whispered to Sakura.

"Oh, it's alright, Syaoran," Sakura whispered back. "I'm sure everybody will be too busy looking at you because of the way you eat like in that restaurant!"

The food arrived and the group started eating. They chatted happily as they ate and when they were done, they were all full and decided to go to bed.

"See you, next morning, Sakura!" Tomoyo called walking away with Eriol and giggling as he kissed her neck.

Sakura waved back to Tomoyo, and whispered to Syaoran, "Are they off to bed, together?"

Syaoran nodded and whispered back. "I'm afraid they are always that naughty."

"Well, good night Syaoran," Sakura said walking away with Meiling who was busy chatting with Yue.

"Oyasumi," Syaoran said to Sakura waving.

He watched as Sakura dragged Meiling away from Yue and out the door.

Then, he walked up to Yue and started talking.

"So, Yue know magic?" he asked, casually.

Yue shook his head. "No."

"Honto ne?" Syaoran asked, surprised. He still sensed strong magic coming from him.

"Well.." Yue said hesitantly. "I think I know a little magic."

Syaoran smiled. "Will you show me, please?"

Yue shook his head. "Well, I don't exactly know it or I don't exactly not know it.."

"Nani? You're not making any sense," Syaoran said.

"Ok, but it may not come out," Yue warned. "Or it may not come out the way it's supposed to."

Syaoran nodded.

Yue closed his eyes. He started glowing a strange white, and lifted his hand. His eyes were still closed as Syaoran watched, amazed as a chair started floating up. Then suddenly a leg blew up. Startled, Yue lost his concentration and opened his eyes. The white glow faded and he looked horrified, and the chair dropped with a bang onto the ground.

"Oh! I'm soooo sorry!" Yue exclaimed. "That wasn't supposed to happen!"

"It's alright, Yue," Syaoran said, smiling. "In fact, I was quite pleased at what I saw. You have rather strong magic. I sensed it in you as soon as I met you."

Yue looked up. "Ok.."

"So, you might as well get some rest," Syaoran said. "I'll give you a tour around the palace tomorrow."

Yue smiled. "Arigato!" He walked out of the dining room.

Syaoran sighed and started picking up the chair pieces. 'He may be The One..' He thought. 'But, The One can't be in this village. Nobody living in the village is supposed to have magic.'

He yawned and threw the pieces in the trashcan. 'I'll think about it tomorrow,' he thought and walked out of the room.



"Well, see you next morning!" Sakura said cheerfully to Meiling who had walked her to her door.

"Yeah, and get up tomorrow no later than 11," Meiling said. "I'll give you a tour of the palace. 'Night!"

Sakura nodded and closed the door.

Today, was a tiring day and she knew she wouldn't have problems getting to sleep. It was weird, how Syaoran looked a lot like the boy in her dreams. She had stopped having those dreams ever since she transported into Akihabara. It was strange, yet she didn't bother to ask. 'I'll think about it tomorrow,' she thought, then changed into pink pyjamas and collapsed into her comfy big bed.









So that was chapter 6! ^_^ My longest fic yet! I'm going to write a short paragraph of everything that's happened so far so don't stop now! Continue reading!
