More clues for her birthday
Birds chirped and the snow melted. The small buds on the trees showed the first sign of spring. It was finally March and training was outside again. For the first time, Syaoran was called to attend meetings with his father, the King, and other major councillors. Eriol occasionally went to the meetings as well, leaving only Sakura and Yamazaki. She didn't feel right when Syaoran wasn't there during the lessons. She didn't notice it, but Tomoyo did. When they were alone, Tomoyo burst out into giggles and Sakura, confused, asked her what was so funny. Tomoyo sighed and thought to herself, 'Sakura, you are so dense.'
"Tomoyo, tell me.what's so funny?" asked Sakura.
She smiled at her friend, "Don't you see? You're missing Syaoran, Aku."
"N-no! Why would I miss him!" stammered Sakura.
She rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "I'm so surprised you're not admitting it, plus even realizing it."
"Tomoyo!!!"
Meanwhile, Syaoran and the other councillors were having an important meeting.
"This is outrageous," one of the spokesmen said, "How dare they raid our villages and disguises themselves as bandits!"
"They are apparently asking for a war here!" agreed another.
"Calm down," Syaoran leaned forward, hands together underneath his chin, "We have no proof or whatsoever that it was them who attacked our villages, and no matter how bad our terms are with them, we are not on war unless we sign the paper saying so."
"Yes, your Highness. But we're on the edge now. The Tamsett Kingdom is pushing the blames of the catastrophe of the Kinomoto Kingdom 10 years ago." The first councillor replied.
"But I thought we were allies. My mother and father were close friends with them. We even had an engagement."
"We were, your Highness. However, they said we attacked the Kinomoto Kingdom because we wanted the Sakura Cards."
"Apparently, it is them who is after the Cards. Since Princess Sakura was engaged to you, your Highness, the Tamsetts cannot get hold of the cards."
"However," the first continued, "The body of Princess Sakura was nowhere to be found. We assume she is not alive anymore, but the Tamsetts accused us of hiding her right now. This is a portrait of Princess Sakura, painted at the age of 3."
They handed him a picture of a little girl. She was smiling innocently, sitting on a swing, attached to a big cherry blossom tree. The wind brushed against her honey brown hair and the tree swayed with petals falling down. She looked vaguely familiar.
"If Princess Sakura is still alive, she will be about thirteen now, a year or two younger than you, your Highness. This is a brief profile of her." The ambassador gave Syaoran a piece of paper with all the information written in it. He skimmed through the information.
"April 1st? Her birthday's coming up?" He made a note to himself.
"Yes, your Highness." They replied.
Sakura, Sakura, Sakura.he wrote down the name several time and decided to switch the letters around for a bit when it suddenly hit him. Of course! If the name was spelt the other way round, it would be Aku's name! He wasn't sure though. The flashback between him and Grafter drifted back. Was this all a coincidence or.is it really true.?
"We'll continue this meeting tomorrow. Dismiss." He stated.
He joined the group and followed them to lunch. They noticed he was quieter than usual and when they asked, he said nothing.
Soon it was the end of March. Tomoyo knew Sakura's birthday was coming up, and she didn't want her to have a lonely one so she decided to give her a surprise party. When she told the other guys about it, they all agreed. Syaoran felt confused. Aku was turning out to be a she.He sighed.
"Syaoran!" Eriol snapped his fingers.
"Huh? Yah, what?" he said, coming back to reality.
"Go and get Aku, the party's about to start. Remember; just tell him we were looking for him. Don't mention anything about a party." Eriol reminded him again.
"'k." replied Syaoran.
In the palace garden, Sakura was sitting on a branch of a blossom tree. It was full moon that night and it shone brightly at her. She closed her eyes and chanted,
"Flowery!" Cherry blossom petals floated down on her.
"Happy Birthday to me...Mother, I miss you so much..." she whispered, tears unwillingly flowing down her face.
Syaoran finally found her. He approached her and saw her crying. He purposely walked noisily towards her just in case. She heard him and quickly wiped the tears off her face. He swiftly swung up and sat next to her.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked.
"You joined me already without asking." She laughed and relaxed a bit.
They sat in silence for a minute or two.
"Care if I borrow your shoulder for a while?" she leaned and rested her head on his shoulder.
"You're borrowing it already." They laughed again and watched the moon quietly.
Syaoran blushed when he realized what he had just said. 'Poor thing.' he thought. "Aku, I." he paused, "I forgot what I was gonna say. Never mind. Anyway,
Tomoyo's looking for you, let's get back in."
He jumped down from the branch and landed flawlessly. He opened his arms, ready to catch her. Sakura, however, chose to land next to him and perfectly too. She blew him a raspberry and ran in. He sighed and muttered, "Squirt.". He smiled inwardly and headed back in as well. Sakura had reached the entrance by now.
"Hurry up you slowpoke!" she shouted, her cheerful laughter rang through the air.
As they opened the door, a loud bang greeted them.
"Surprise!" They shouted, "Happy Birthday Aku!"
She was speechless, stunned.
"I-I." she turned around, "You knew this Syaoran?"
He nodded, grinning. All of a sudden, she broke into sobs. They all panicked, not sure what to do. It was an awkward situation. In between several snivels, they managed to make out something like, "Thanks [sniff] guys [sniff] this [hiccup] is like the best [sniff/hiccup] birthday I've ever [sniff] had for 10 [hiccup] years."
They laughed when they finally heard what she said. They spent the rest of the night partying till late.
