"kanako?" I rubbed my eyes," what are you doing here?"
I looked around at my surroundings. Kanako stood there, looking seriously at an older man. She didn't seem to notice he was there.
"Father..." she said, tears in her eyes.
"I was a fool... I shouldn't have done that... when people find out, what will they say?" the elderly man said, his sad eyes on his daughter.
"You wanted to protect her, you didn't want her killed, you didn't know." The girl said soothingly, with a somewhat shaky voice, "Mother wanted this. We will continue to hide her. No one will ever know!"
"But... we've locked her up for so long... she's unhappy. She doesn't know why she is being confined in the underground facilities. So we keep her there. She will never see a flower bloom, or see birds making their nests for their eggs to hatch, she won't ever fall in love..." he said sadly.
"Everything will turn out alright father. You'll see." Kanako said, taking her father's hands in her own.
Xiao Lang's vision swirled.
"What the-"
He had now arrived in a lightened room.
Kanako was now in a bed, sleeping.
The elderly man was there again.
He sat on a seat next to the bed, watching Kanako.
"My poor poor daughter... what will become of you?" he said softly, "for 17 years... 17 years have I locked you up away in this despicable place. Do you hate me for it?"
A tear fell.
I looked at them confused.
"Sakura..." the man said.
My eyes were wide open.
'Sakura? But that's Kanako!" I though in my head.
The room started to swim again.
"Not again...."
Kanako stood before me.
Tears were in her eyes.
"I'm sorry... please forget me."
A flash of light.
I woke up.
Sweat was pouring down my face.
"That was weird." I though as I went and took a shower.
+++++
I was eating breakfast. The dream had woken me up early. It bothered me. It was just a dream right? So why did I have such a bad feeling about it?
I felt a breath on the back of my neck.
"Xiao Lang... zhao an" said a sleep voice.
I smiled.
"Kanako. What are you doing up so early?"
"mm... I heard something downstairs. So I decided to see who it was." She said groggily.
"Oh I'm sorry, I woke you up." I said apologetically.
"oh no... its fine." She said.
She opened to fridge and grabbed a piece of toast. She popped it into the toaster and sat next to it.
"You know... that kinda thing is what we pay the maids to do" I said amused.
"Oh... well, even though I'm a princess, I enjoy doing these things myself." She said, "I don't mind doing it."
She said there thoughtfully and said as an afterthought" you lazy bum"
I pretended mock anger.
"How DARE you say that I, Li Xiao Lang is LAZY! You're so going to get it!"
I ran after her. She had jumped off the chair and ran around giggling.
I tackled her against a wall.
"Your punishment." I said as coldly as I could make my voice.
"My punishment?" she asked, her eyes twinkling.
I bent down and caught her lips.
They were soft...irresistible.
As I began massaging her lips with mine, I heard a cough behind me.
"Damn you Eriol" I said without turning around.
"Why, how did you know it was me?" he said with mock surprise.
"I just could." I said turning around to glare at him.
Eriol turned and looked at Kanako. His eyes suddneley had a glazed look about them. He was acting strangely; he didn't give Kanako that look though.
"Good morning Eriol" she chirped, something different about her too.
'ah whatever, ill never understand them' I thought to myself.
"Good morning" he said, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Xiao Lang! Come with me to you garden! I want to look around!" Kanko said happily.
"Alright."
+++++
As we entered my garden, she went straight to the cherry blossoms.
"I LOVE cherry blossoms" she said bouncing up and down," don't you Xiao Lang?"
"Yea... they are one of my favorite." I agreed with her," isn't cherry blossoms Sakura in your language?" the dream flashed through my mind. I dismissed it.
"Yea... Sakura... that's right." She said, her voice not so bouncy anymore," what do you think of that name? Sakura."
"Well... uh...it's a pretty name." I said, confused," why do you ask?"
"Oh... no reason. I think the name is nice." She said softly.
"I see."
'She's acting strange' I thought, "what's wrong with her?'
She smiled.
"Let's go back inside ok?"
"Alright" I said, taking her hand in mine.
She grinned at me, and we walked back into the palace.
As we walked through the door, Kanako turned one last time to look at the cluster of cherry blossoms.
+++++
= Kanako POV =
(just a little side note... this is the first time in Kanako POV, cuz if I had done it before, you would have known what was going on right away. So yea. Hahaha)
It was midnight.
"Time for action" I muttered.
I jumped out my window. I agilely landed on my feet, making little noise.
I entered the prince's garden; I strode over to the cherry blossoms.
'Where is it?' I thought,' where is the key of clow?'
Only the prince of China knew in his heart where the key was.
I could tell the Cherry Blossoms were important to him. If I was right, the Key would be somewhere there! The prince himself did not know consciously where it was kept. But subconsciously, he did.
I looked around, letting my magic a little out, hoping it would call for it.
A lone Sakura stood in the middle amiss a flurry of Sakura's.
I looked carefully at it.
I tilted my head.
A flash of light greeted my eyes.
'BINGO' I thought gleefully, as I reached my hand forward, reaching inside the interior of the blossom, and felt something cool between my fingers.
I brought out the shiny object.
It glowed with recognition.
"Father... I'm almost there!"
++++++++++
The next day...
=Kanako POV =
Today would be the last day I needed to stay in the palace. My work was done here. After I retrieved the book of Clow, there was no need for me to stay here any longer.
I glanced at Xiao Lang.
My heart felt like it was being torn. A little.
In the beginning, I felt nothing for the prince. My bumping into the queen was an act. It was my only way of entering the castle.
I pretended to be in love with Xiao Lang in order to gain his trust.
"He's going to be so angry..." I said whispering.
"Who's going to be angry?" a husky voice said behind me.
"Xiao Lang!" I said and cheerfully as I could, giving him a hug.
"Whoa there!" he laughed, "What's the rush?"
"I'm going to miss you." I said softly.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Never mind." I said shaking my head.
That night.....
I snuck downstairs towards the heirloom room.
It was time.
I opened the door with my magic.
"Easy peasy." I muttered.
I approached the book.
I could see the barrier, the barrier that had repelled me when I tried to take it last time.
"no such thing" I thought with a grin.
I took the key out from my pocket. It was glowing.
I took a breath, and pushed the key through the keyhole on the side of the book.
*click
I grabbed the book.
It was time to leave.
'Should I say good-bye to Xiao Lang?' I thought as I ran down the corridor.
I didn't need to think about that anymore. As I turned the corner, I crashed into Xiao Lang himself.
"XIAO LANG!" I nearly yelped as I tried to hide the book behind me.
His eyes flickered to it and he knew.
"So... SO, you were the one all the time." He said, drawing out his words slowly.
I winced.
"Look-"
"And here I thought Eriol was acting weird around you. He was suspicious of you wasn't he? And he was right" his words were icily cold.
"There was a reason!" I said angrily.
"Oh? Ok, so there was a reason. Trying to get some cash out of that? Think you can work the magic that binds it? Tell me, how did you get the key? I am suppose to know where the key is, not you" he said, his arms folded. I could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Sakura." I said softly.
"what?" he asked.
"Sakura, cherry blossoms. They key was in there?" I said softly.
His eyes were blank.
"Wait, Kanako, I don't get it. Why would they be-"
"Sakura, Xiao Lang. Not Kanako, SAKURA." I said, hoping my voice wasn't shaking.
"what-"he said, then realization dawned on his eyes," Sakura... Sakura..."
I looked at him and knew he knew something.
Tears were now coming down my eyes. I had no choice, I had to do it. for me... and for my country... for her....
"Im sorry... please forgive me." I sobbed.
Xiao Lang's eyes showed little surprise. As if he knew what I was going to do.
"I really did love you... please forgive me" I whispered as I raised my hand up, parallel to his eyes.
"Forget!" I cried.
A flash of light.
Xiao Lang was on the ground, his eyes closed.
Using my magic, I returned him to him room. I gently pulled the covers over him.
"Good-bye Xiao Lang... you wont ever remember me, but I wont ever forget you."
