Chapter 2: Fairies in the Woods
(A/n: Remember, this is set in medieval times.But Sakura can have any modern thing she wants! You'll find out all their ages soon.)
The group walked swiftly across the path of ice. Syaoran looked at the sides nervously hoping it wouldn't collapse.
"Is anything wrong Li-san?" Tomoyo asked, getting worried at the look on his face. He looked up, trying to make it seem that he had not just been afraid.
"No, of course not!" he grunted. Tomoyo turned around and kept walking. Eriol slowed down to walk beside Syaoran.
"Very hot, huh?" he asked. Syaoran looked at him in disbelief.
"How can you think of girls at a time like this!" he screeched, making the two girls turn around.
"Are you okay?" they both asked. Syaoran blushed and nodded. Sakura let out a giggle before she turned around. Syaoran ignored Eriol the rest of the way.
"We're here!" Sakura chirped cheerfully. Syaoran looked around the small island. It was just the right size to have a picnic on.
"This seems almost too perfect." Eriol said, also looking around. Sakura and Tomoyo giggled.
"That's because I made it silly!" Sakura said, still giggling. (A/n: Sakura is just finding this all funny, she won't be a stupid little giggling girl!) Syaoran looked at Sakura.
"You made this?" he asked, looking amazed. She nodded.
"It's no big deal. I do stuff like that all the time." Tomoyo nodded. Eriol was too busy staring at her to hear anything. Syaoran snapped his fingers in front of Eriol's face.
"Huh?" Eriol said. Syaoran smirked. Eriol must really like that girl, to be ignoring all the food right in front of him. Eriol stood up and bowed.
"Lady's first." He said, smiling. The two girls giggled. Syaoran rolled his eyes. Sakura didn't touch the food.
"I believe we had something to discuss?" she asked, looking at Syaoran expectedly. Syaoran nodded at Eriol, who sighed because he couldn't eat yet.
"We're looking for a girl." Syaoran said. Syaoran tilted her head.
"What kind of girl?" she asked, giggling. "I mean there are so many of them!" Syaoran glared at her.
"We know that, Mistress. We're looking for a certain girl. She is supposed to be living somewhere around here." Eriol said. He quickly nudged Syaoran, who had been glaring at Sakura.
"Oh? And what is her name?" Tomoyo asked. "Maybe we do know her." Syaoran smiled cheekily.
"Kinomoto Sakura. Waist-length auburn hair and green eyes. Supposedly very beautiful. Do you know her?" he smiled at their shocked expression, which was replaced with a cool mask.
"Yes. I believe we do know this Sakura. Now, tell us what you want with her." Tomoyo said, quite angrily. Eriol and Syaoran sweatdropped. Suddenly the sweet girl had turned vicious!
"We er.We were just" Eriol tried to say, but got nudged in the ribs by Syaoran.
"We can't tell them what we're really here for!" he whispered urgently. Sakura glanced at them
"Either you tell us, or I'll have to find out the hard way." She stated. Syaoran and Eriol gulped.
"We just wanted to find this beautiful girl that everyone has been talking about! But, I assure you her beauty cannot compare to you two." Eriol said. Tomoyo and Sakura burst out laughing. Eriol looked exasperated.
"What's so funny?" Syaoran asked. Sakura stopped laughing enough to say something.
"What he said!" Sakura said again, bursting into a fit of giggles. Even the wildcats looked to be laughing. Syaoran and Eriol exchanged looks. They really were crazy!
"It's just that." Tomoyo said, before bursting into another giggling fit. Sakura suddenly grew serious.
"I am Kinomoto Sakura." She said. Syaoran and Eriol looked in disbelief. "Illusion you may return." She said. Suddenly her beautiful auburn hair was back to normal. It framed her delicate face, complementing on her skin tone. She looked even prettier than before! Sakura stood up.
"Well, let's dig in then!" Eriol cried, jumping into the basket. (A/n: Whatever happened to his lady's first? Oh well!) Eriol came out with his arms full of food. Tomoyo and Sakura giggled nervously. Sakura turned to Syaoran who was staring at her suspiciously.
"We didn't poison the food. See?" She said, as she took a bite. Syaoran grabbed a sandwich and sniffed it. He didn't smell anything bad. He bit it. He didn't taste anything bad. He began to ravish the sandwich. Sakura and Tomoyo stared at them. Good thing they had made a lot! Sakura reached into the basket and pulled out two steaks. She put one on each plate in front of Kero and Yue. They began to eat hungrily. Syaoran stared.
"What are they?" he asked. Sakura looked at him.
"They are my friends. The golden one is Kero, and the white, Yue." The two wildcats glared at Syaoran before going back to eating. He glared right back. Tomoyo was talking to Eriol.
"So what do you do for a living?" she asked. He sat there, not knowing what to tell her.
"We.We travel the world in search of amazing things!" he said, thankful that he'd come up with a good excuse. Tomoyo nodded. Eriol turned to Tomoyo. "So what do you do for a living?" he asked. Tomoyo went all star- eyed.
"I make Sakura kawaii clothes!" she shouted. Eriol covered his ears. "Oh, I'm sorry! I tend to do that!" she said. Eriol just nodded.
"You make her clothes?" he asked. Tomoyo nodded. "You have a great talent." He said, making Tomoyo blush.
"Thank you" she said, still blushing. Sakura giggled. Suddenly she stood up.
"Oh! Come with me! We must show you wonderful things!" she shouted. "Fly!" she cried, and grew wings on her back. (A/n: Not the kind she has in the series.More like fairy wings! You'll see why in a minute!) Syaoran stared. She could fly? He heard a cry behind him.
"Fly!" Three voices called. Tomoyo, Kero and Yue all grew wings on their backs. Yue stood in front of Syaoran, his icy eyes staring.
"Well? Get on!" he cried, motioning for Syaoran to climb on his back. They could talk? Eriol climbed onto Kero's back, and Syaoran onto Yue's. They flew over the trees until they came to a meadow. Sakura flew down to it. Syaoran was about to ask what was going on but Tomoyo shushed him.
"I ask the hawk above the trees, to look among the forest leaves. I ask him now, what does he see? What will the hawk's good fortune be?" Sakura said, chanting. Suddenly, giggling was heard among the outskirts of the meadow. Sakura smiled in that direction. Tomoyo flew down, but Kero and Yue did not. Syaoran and Eriol had to watch as several beautiful women came out of the forest. They gasped. These women.had wings! They were fairies!
"Cousin!" They all screeched and ran towards Sakura. "So kawaii!" They all screeched again, and began to examine Sakura. Tomoyo just stood off to the side, giggling. Syaoran and Eriol looked at each other? Cousin? But if Sakura was a fairy.That meant that she couldn't be killed. Yet she didn't have her wings all the time. It was truly confusing them.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Sakura cried. "You haven't met our new friends!" she motioned for Kero and Yue to fly down. They landed and Syaoran and Eriol jumped off. They looked at the fairies. They were all beautiful, but not as beautiful as Sakura. All had different colored hair. White, yellow, blue, green, red, purple, black and orange. Their eyes matched their hair.
"Konnichiwa!" they all said in unison. Syaoran and Eriol looked at each other.
"Let me introduce you guys!" She pointed at the yellow haired girl. "This is Choice." She pointed at the blue haired girl. "This is Prosperity." She pointed at the red haired girl. "This is Decision." She pointed at the green haired girl. "This is Destiny." She pointed at the purple haired girl. "This is Pride." She pointed at the orange haired girl. "This is Faith. And last but not least, Ying and Yang." She said, pointing at the white and the black haired girls. They looked exactly alike, only their hair and eyes were different.
"They're twins!" Syaoran exclaimed. The two girls nodded. Sakura pointed at Syaoran.
"That's Li-san." She pointed to Eriol. "And that's Hiirigazwa-san" (A/n: Spelling?) Both men bowed. The girls squealed and ran up to them.
"SO KAWAII!" they yelled. They all turned to Sakura. "Which is yours Mistress?" they asked. Sakura went bright red. Syaoran and Eriol laughed nervously when the fairies began to circle them like hawks. Eriol looked at Syaoran.
"What the hell are they doing?" he whispered. Syaoran glared at him.
"And how am I supposed to know?" he asked. Suddenly all the girls stopped and circled Syaoran.
"This one!" They all cried out. Sakura blushed like a ripe tomato. Tomoyo giggled. All of the fairies looked at Eriol. "Miss Tomoyo had her eye on this one already!" Tomoyo went beet red. Syaoran and Eriol looked at each other. Tomoyo?
"Oh, that's right!" Sakura said. "This isn't Linka, it's Tomoyo!" she exclaimed. Eriol walked up to Tomoyo, who was blushing profusely.
"You've had your eye on me, ne?" he asked. She stood still, not knowing what to do. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "Well I've got my eye on you, Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo blushed even deeper, if it was possible. Eriol walked calmly back to Syaoran. Syaoran was looking at everyone questionably.
"What do you mean I'm hers?" he asked densely.
"Nothing! They mean nothing!" Sakura shouted. The fairies all raised an eyebrow. "Er, we'd better get going! Busy day ahead!" Sakura said, stuttering. "Tomoyo, Kero, Yue! Let's go!" she ordered. Syaoran and Eriol looked at each other in confusion. They both sighed and got on the animal's backs.
"Ja ne! Good luck!" all the fairies yelled. Sakura glared at them.
"Ja, cousins!" she yelled back. They all flew back to the lake. Syaoran got off Yue and walked up to Sakura. Sakura looked at him, wondering what he wanted.
"May I see them?" he asked. She had no clue what he was talking about. "Your wings." He said, pointing. She nodded and he went to examine them. They were a brilliant shade of emerald green. He ran his hands over them. A green powder rubbed off onto his hands. He stared at them. They looked exactly like butterfly wings. He thanked her then walked back to Eriol.
"What are they like?" Eriol asked. Syaoran stared at the sky, thinking.
"They seem like butterfly wings." He said. Eriol pointed at Tomoyo, Kero and Yue.
"Their wings are different." Syaoran looked at them, finally noticing. Tomoyo had wings like the other fairies, more pointy, and insect like. Kero and Yue had feathery wings.
"Maybe we can ask them later." He said. Just then Sakura and Tomoyo walked up to them.
"We would like to ask you to join us for dinner." They both said together. Eriol looked at Syaoran who nodded.
"Yes. It would be a pleasure to be among such beautiful ladies." He said, winking at Tomoyo. Tomoyo blushed. Sakura just nodded.
"We'll have to walk back." she said. "You don't mind?" They said it wouldn't be a problem then started walking. Sakura came to a halt in front of a huge tree.
"Why'd we stop here?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo giggled.
"Look up!" she said. Syaoran looked up. Up above them was a huge tree house! Not the kind that little kids made, it was amazing! A forest palace! Eriol looked up too.
"A tree house fit for a queen. Or shall I say, Mistress?" he said, joking. Sakura nodded.
"A tiny seed become the tree that makes the seeds in turn." She said. Syaoran and Eriol looked at her as if she was crazy. Suddenly a long wooden ladder appeared, leading up to the tree house. Sakura and Tomoyo went up. The ladder started to go up.
"SHIT!" Syaoran shouted, before grabbing the ladder with Eriol. They went up the ladder to where Tomoyo and Sakura were. Sakura looked at them.
"While Tomoyo makes dinner, would you like me to show you to your rooms?" she asked. The two men nodded. "Follow me, then." Sakura said, before walking off. They quickly followed her. She stopped in front of a door. "This room is Hiirigazwa's. What color would you like your room to be?" she asked.
"Blue!" he said. Sakura snapped her fingers and opened the door. Inside there was a huge king sized bed covered in midnight blue blankets. The pillows were a sapphire blue that matched the walls. The ceiling was painted a dark navy color, and had silver specks that resembled stars. The room seemed to smell exactly like the night air. Eriol nodded his appreciation. Sakura turned to Syaoran.
"Your room is across the hall. What color?" she asked.
"Green!" he exclaimed. She snapped her fingers again, and then opened the door. Inside, the room was painted a dark forest green. Its ceiling was painted as though you were looking through the tops of trees. It even had a small sunset going on. The room smelt like an autumn breeze. The king sized bed had a dark, dark green comforter on top of green blankets. Syaoran grunted his approval as Sakura left. At the door, Sakura turned.
"Dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes. Unpack. We'll call you when it's ready." She turned and left. Syaoran pulled his things and put them away in the dresser that was in the room. He sighed and plopped down on the big bed. Eriol popped in his door.
"Hey, Syaoran! Isn't this place great? I just found something really cool! Come check it out!" he called. Syaoran sighed and sat up. He followed Eriol through several halls before coming to a halt in front of a door.
"What is it Eriol?" he asked, annoyed. Eriol grinned and opened the door. He put a finger to his lips, signaling Syaoran to be quiet. He opened the door, revealing a beautiful room. No, not a room. More like a miniature meadow. It had a huge field, and a few trees scattered here and there. That was very odd, because they were already in a tree. Syaoran didn't know why they were being quiet until Eriol pointed. Syaoran looked where he was pointing and gasped. In the center of the meadow sat Sakura. She was surrounded by several beautiful birds and animals. They watched in silence as Sakura raised her finger. A light blue butterfly flew and landed softy on it. She held it close and whispered something to it. She lifted her finger again and it flew away.
"Wow!" Eriol and Syaoran said in unison. They quickly covered their mouths, but it was too late. Sakura had seen them. She stood up quickly, frightening the animals. She said something to them that the men couldn't hear, but it obviously calmed the animals down. She walked towards them, her gown flowing behind her. Her hair ruffled in the wind. She was now wearing a beautiful white gown. It had a v-neck and sleeves that spread out at the wrist. It went all the way down to the ground.
'Damn, she looks beautiful' Syaoran thought. He shook his head. He had to kill this girl! He couldn't develop something for her. She walked up to them.
"What are you doing here?" she asked angrily. "I thought I told you to stay in your rooms until we called you!" she yelled. Syaoran and Eriol winced. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "It's just that I'm the only one allowed in here." she said. Syaoran looked at her carefully. He hadn't noticed before, but she had a small pink aura radiating around her.
'She doesn't look so tough' he thought. Little did he know that Sakura was compressing her aura for all she was worth. The two men in front of her had powerful auras. Eriol's was a sapphire blue, while Syaoran's was green. Her aura ached to be free and mingle with the strange auras. She sighed.
"Well I suppose Tomoyo-chan has dinner ready. We had better all get changed." Sakura said, walking off. Syaoran and Eriol headed back to their rooms. Syaoran and Eriol came out 5 minutes later wearing almost the exact clothes. They were both wearing long pants, with long-sleeved shirts that tied at the neck. Syaoran's was wearing dark green, as Eriol was wearing navy blue. They had no clue where the dining room was, so they stayed in their rooms. Tomoyo knocked on their doors.
"Dinner is ready. Follow me." She said, walking off. They followed her closely. She was now wearing a sleeveless black dress that ended just above her ankles. On her feet she had black chunky heels. (A/n: Sakura and Tomoyo can travel to the future, because of Sakura's time charm. Okay people who didn't understand?) She led them to a huge room. The room had a large wooden table, covered in a white silk tablecloth. There was fine china and crystal glasses set on the table. They sat down. Syaoran noticed that the plates had several precious gems molded into them. He looked around.
"Where's Miss Kinomoto?" he asked. Tomoyo looked at him before pouring him some wine.
"She'll be here once she's ready." She said, before heading off into the kitchen. Suddenly Sakura appeared at the door out of breath.
"Poachers!" she shouted before running off again.

Chapter 2: Fairies in the Woods
(A/n: Remember, this is set in medieval times.But Sakura can have any modern thing she wants! You'll find out all their ages soon.)
The group walked swiftly across the path of ice. Syaoran looked at the sides nervously hoping it wouldn't collapse.
"Is anything wrong Li-san?" Tomoyo asked, getting worried at the look on his face. He looked up, trying to make it seem that he had not just been afraid.
"No, of course not!" he grunted. Tomoyo turned around and kept walking. Eriol slowed down to walk beside Syaoran.

"Are you okay?" they both asked. Syaoran blushed and nodded. Sakura let out a giggle before she turned around. Syaoran ignored Eriol the rest of the way.
"We're here!" Sakura chirped cheerfully. Syaoran looked around the small island. It was just the right size to have a picnic on.
"This seems almost too perfect." Eriol said, also looking around. Sakura and Tomoyo giggled.
"That's because I made it silly!" Sakura said, still giggling. (A/n: Sakura is just finding this all funny, she won't be a stupid little giggling girl!) Syaoran looked at Sakura.

"We didn't poison the food. See?" She said, as she took a bite. Syaoran grabbed a sandwich and sniffed it. He didn't smell anything bad. He bit it. He didn't taste anything bad. He began to ravish the sandwich. Sakura and Tomoyo stared at them. Good thing they had made a lot! Sakura reached into the basket and pulled out two steaks. She put one on each plate in front of Kero and Yue. They began to eat hungrily. Syaoran stared.

Syaoran didn't know why they were being quiet until Eriol pointed. Syaoran looked where he was pointing and gasped. In the center of the meadow sat Sakura. She was surrounded by several beautiful birds and animals. They watched in silence as Sakura raised her finger. A light blue butterfly flew and landed softy on it. She held it close and whispered something to it. She lifted her finger again and it flew away.
"Wow!" Eriol and Syaoran said in unison. They quickly covered their mouths, but it was too late. Sakura had seen them. She stood up quickly, frightening the animals. She said something to them that the men couldn't hear, but it obviously calmed the animals down. She walked towards them, her gown flowing behind her. Her hair ruffled in the wind. She was now wearing a beautiful white gown. It had a v-neck and sleeves that spread out at the wrist. It went all the way down to the ground.
'Damn, she looks beautiful' Syaoran thought. He shook his head. He had to kill this girl! He couldn't develop something for her. She walked up to them.
"What are you doing here?" she asked angrily. "I thought I told you to stay in your rooms until we called you!" she yelled. Syaoran and Eriol winced. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "It's just that I'm the only one allowed in here." she said. Syaoran looked at her carefully. He hadn't noticed before, but she had a small pink aura radiating around her.
'She doesn't look so tough' he thought. Little did he know that Sakura was compressing her aura for all she was worth. The two men in front of her had powerful auras. Eriol's was a sapphire blue, while Syaoran's was green. Her aura ached to be free and mingle with the strange auras. She sighed.
"Well I suppose Tomoyo-chan has dinner ready. We had better all get changed." Sakura said, walking off. Syaoran and Eriol headed back to their rooms. Syaoran and Eriol came out 5 minutes later wearing almost the exact clothes. They were both wearing long pants, with long-sleeved shirts that tied at the neck. Syaoran's was wearing dark green, as Eriol was wearing navy blue. They had no clue where the dining room was, so they stayed in their rooms. Tomoyo knocked on their doors.
"Dinner is ready. Follow me." She said, walking off. They followed her closely. She was now wearing a sleeveless black dress that ended just above her ankles. On her feet she had black chunky heels. (A/n: Sakura and Tomoyo can travel to the future, because of Sakura's time charm. Okay people who didn't understand?) She led them to a huge room. The room had a large wooden table, covered in a white silk tablecloth. There was fine china and crystal glasses set on the table. They sat down. Syaoran noticed that the plates had several precious gems molded into them. He looked around.
"Where's Miss Kinomoto?" he asked. Tomoyo looked at him before pouring him some wine.
"She'll be here once she's ready." She said, before heading off into the kitchen. Suddenly Sakura appeared at the door out of breath.
"Poachers!" she shouted before running off again.
