Hm, I haven't updated in awhile and I'm SOOOO SORRY!!! I'm just a bit busy with end of yearly exams and such. But heres the chappy you've (not very many ppl read this -_-;;;) been waiting for (maybe).
~~~Meeting~~~
~Normal POV.~
"Mistress, your carriage is ready."
"Thankyou Wei, but before we leave, you must call my son to come along."
"Yes, highness." Wei quivered with the thought of facing the furious prince. Not a very exciting moment...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Pft..." Syaoran blew his bangs away from his red face, arms crossed against chest, sitting in the royal carriage.
"Now now! Don't act so childishly! You're eighteen for goodness sake!" Yelan exclaimed exasperatedly.
"Its not called acting 'childishly', its called 'expressing my feelings'!"
"Yes, its a wonder you have feelings!" Came the sarcastic comment.
"Of course I have feelings! And anyways, the only one who's gonna be childish is the 'IT'."
"So your back to the 'IT' business? And here I thought you had more manners than that... How very wrong I was..."
"Grr! I DO have manners!"
"Yes, you really do, I can see that very clearly. Rude manners that is. But I want to tell you this Syaoran! This child is part of the family now, and any mistreating will be your misfortune!"
"Oh really?"
"Yes"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah, greetings your highness!" Toushi bowed.
"Yes, same to you. Now, do I have the honour of picking the child?" Yelan asked, raising an eyebrow in authority.
"Eh... Yes! Of course you do, highness!"
"Well, what ARE you waiting for? Take me to the children!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Sakura's POV.~
'I'm in an orphanage? I guess thats the only place to be when your familyless... What did I expect? Paradise with everything I ever wanted? Hah, I think not... But the children here are very friendly. I think I'll enjoy living here.'
*DING-DING-DING-DING*
"Come on Sakura!" A little girl, Isobella, cried, tugging at my hand. She had beautiful red curls and honey eyes. "We gotta line up with everyone else!"
"Why?"
"Someone come to take children to live together!"
"Oh?"
"Come on!"
~Normal POV.~
All the children and teenagers lined up in a straight line facing the main entrance of the orphanage. Suddenly, the grey stone doors opened slowly, letting the wonderful sunlight come in, and with it, Toushi-the orphanage caretaker-, a woman, and what seemed to be her son.
"Hello children! A special day it is! This wonderful lady here will choose one of you to live with her! Toushi exclaimed, not mentioning the lady as the queen, because on request of the Queen herself, and for fear of scaring the children.
"Miss, do you want too meet the children now?"
"Of course. Just give me some time. Syaoran!"
*grunt* "What!?!"
"Do help your mother pick a child!"
"Why should I?" A ferocious glare came his way. "Ok, ok mother!"
Sure, the Queen didn't exactly have the scariest glare in the world (syaorans is scarier), but if you don't listen to her, serious problems are definately going to go your way.
~Syaorans POV.~
'Ha, pathetic idiots! Does mother really expect me to help? ...But she might kill me... I'll just pretend to help.'
I walked down the line, inspecting the children one by one.
'Hm, grubby, chubby, skinny, girly, dirty, burnt, beaten, bald, annoying smile, eyes too close together... Right... Mother wants one of these?'
I did another round, this time stopping at the ones who looked like suitable candidates.
'Ah... This one looks alright. Just a bit of ashes here and there, no annoying smile, in fact, no smile at all! Her skin is so pale... Might be a pit paler without the ash... Auburn waist length hair... A whole head shorter than me... Eyes at perfect length... They seem to hold intelligence... They're emerald too... Favourite colour... I wouldn't mind looking into her eyes...'
"Syaoran!!!"
"What mother?"
"Have you picked one yet?"
'Great, she really expects me to pick one... I think I'll stick with ash girl.'
"Hm, yea!"
"Well! What are you waiting for? Which one?"
I gestured towards ash girl.
"Hm..." Mother murmured... "What is your name deary?"
"Sakura, miss."
'Sakura? That means cherry blossom... Interesting name I must say. But I like ash girl better.'
"Age?"
"Seventeen, miss."
"You certainly do have beautiful eyes!"
"Thankyou, miss."
"Toushi! I have made my choice! Sakura will be my daughter now! Hand over the papers!"
"Right away!"
