=Xiao Lang POV=
"Ni men liang ge shi cong na li lai de?" (Where did you two come from?)
I saw Sakura sweat next to me. She didn't know Chinese.
"Wo men cong...ri ben lai de.(we are both... from Japan)" I said hastily, hoping the woman wouldn't ask any further.
The woman frowned and muttered in Chinese. "Is that so?"
I pretended I had not heard. Instead, I studied the woman. Her dark brown hair was quite similar to mine. But her eyes were not of an amber color. It was a tad bit lighter.
"So... what's your name?" she said suddenly in Japanese.
I fell and so did Sakura.
"You can speak Japanese?!" I said a little angrily. My Chinese had rusted up a bit in Japan and I had a bit of difficulty getting back into my native language.
"Of course." She said irritably, "This is China after all."
China...?
I was back?! But how?!
I felt eyes on me and saw Sakura green pools with my reflection upon them. Her face was sketched with fear.
"I asked you for your name." The woman said again. I turned toward her.
"Yamamoto Yuki." I said.
"I...see." The woman said slowly.
Then she smiled.
"I'm sorry, I've been rude! Please, come into my humble home!" she gestured to a small brick house.
I shrugged at Sakura, who was silent.
"We have no place to stay... might as well." I said to her.
She nodded tightly and followed me.
I stopped and she crashed into my back.
I could feel her hands clutching my shirt and I sighed.
"What's wrong Miss. Kinomoto?" I asked softly, so that no one would hear.
"Why am I here?" she asked, "I don't want to be here!"
I sighed again.
"If I left you there, the magicians would have taken you hostage or killed you to get to me." I explained," of course I had to take you along."
I mentally slapped myself. I had practically told her who I was!
"This place is filthy!" she said snobbishly, "Look at that man! He is dressed in rags!"
I was relieved, she didn't seem to notice, but I was surprised too.
Sakura struck me as someone who didn't mind the grueling lives of the peasants. My opinion of her was slowly changing.
"Well... you didn't seem to think my place was filthy." I couldn't keep the coldness out of my voice, "and my clothes aren't any better than his."
That was true. In order to keep my profile low, I had dressed poorly so I wouldn't attract any attention to myself.
She didn't seem to be listening.
"I hate this place! Bring me back to Japan at once! Or else... or else." She tried to grasp an answer.
"Your highness." I said, trying to keep the anger, reverting to what I used to call her, "your being very selfish and if you have any idea how we are to get back to Japan, kindly inform me. If your going to be like this, then go."
I followed the woman into her house, leaving Sakura in stunned silence behind me.
##### ##### #####
=Sakura POV=
I was stunned.
Yuki had just blown me off!
I felt tears well up in my eyes. I had never been away from home this far. I didn't exactly mean what I had said. The place wasn't exactly filthy. But China was something feared in Japan. When the small children were naughty, the governors would say that if they didn't behave, China would come and behead them. Wars were constant between the two nations and China was a delicate topic for the Japanese.
I was just upset so I said anything that came to my mind!
Then I felt the magic work on me.
Curse the spell! He had commanded me to go!
My feet were urging me to move. I could feel a headache coming from attempting to disobey it.
"Yu-"I tried to call for him, but my voice was weak, and he was already in the house.
'Shit shit shit!' I mentally cursed, since my voice was not letting it go to the fullest potential.
I was getting a migraine.
I walked a few steps away from the brick house.
The headache was lightening.
I walked more, and more and more.
I was entering the woods that surrounded the small village.
I sighed.
I had to obey or my head might just split open.
As I walked on, I felt the eerie feeling that someone was watching me.
As I turned on a path, a pair of strong hands put themselves on my mouth that prevented me to scream.
I looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes and shocking brown hair.
I felt myself float into unconsciousness....
##### ##### #####
=Xiao Lang POV=
As I said those harsh words, I cursed at myself.
How could I say that to her? She was the soon to be Queen!
I walked towards the brick house and left Sakura outside.
The woman had already started making tea and looked at my questionably.
"The girl?" she asked.
"She'll be in here shortly." I said uncomfortably. 'I think'
she nodded.
"Well, it seems you are familiar to China." She mused as she put a cup of strong Jasmine tea in front of me.
"Yes... I've been here before." I said testily.
"Oh have you?" she asked, "you seems quite familiar, though I cant place my finger on who you are."
I felt my blood ran cold.
Was she one of Kaia's men that is out to catch me?
"Well... as I said, my name is Yamamoto Yuki. I'm from Japan, but I've been the China before." I said quickly, making up the information.
She studied me.
"From your appearance...I would say you were a peasant. How could you have come to China with little money?"
"Ahh..." was all I could say.
All the woman did was laugh.
"Don't you even recognize me?" she said teasing, her eyes filled with...relief and happiness?
"Fahren?" I whispered.
"Li Xiao Lang." Fahren said laughing, tears coming down her cheeks.
I felt like a little kid again as I embraced my oldest sister.
"Why are you here?!" I said with a smile.
"The elders." She said promptly, "They have foreseen. They saw the time is coming, and drawing near."
"How had everything been?" I said hesitantly.
Fahren's eyes clouded.
"Not very good." She said softly, "After you left those many years ago, Kaia's men have been stationed everywhere, searching for you. He had practically all of China searched. Then he sent men to Japan, but of course Japan does not exactly like our country, lucky for us and you." She said with a small laugh, "they knew you were the awaited prince, and as much as they would have liked to see you destroyed, they would not want China to have Kaia have the satisfaction and destroying someone he hated very much. I think many years ago he had attacked Japan or something. That was many years ago."
I nodded, everything was starting to make sense.
"By the way," Fahren said frowning, looking out the window, "where is that girl that was with you?"
##### ##### ##### ##### #####
=Sakura POV= I awoke, and it took me a full minute before I remembered what happened when I was walking into the woods.
"MMMMPPHHHH!!!" I attempted to scream.
I was bound and gagged.
Then I heard a noise from behind me.
"Hello Miss. And what's your name?" said a man.
It was the guy who kidnapped me!
The only thing I could do was look and stare.
"Oh yea, sorry." He bent over and undid the rag that prevented me from speaking as well as take the ropes off.
"Im sorry miss, I tied you in case you escaped." He explained, "we cant have you escape and tell someone this location"
once he untied me, I tried to run past him through the door, but he blocked my path.
"What are you doing?!" I demanded, "Let me go at once!"
The man only smiled.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that miss. You are in secret headquarters now."
Curiosity got the better of me. "Secret...?"
"There is an uprising to get rid of our ruler, Kaia. Or King Kaia, as he likes to be referred to." The man said rolling his eyes, "but yea. My name is Takeo. Yours?"
"I'm not giving my name to anyone who kidnaps me!" I exclaimed. Where was Yuki?!
"You should be thanking me you know." He said with a smile, "if you wandered around there too long, some of Kaia's men would have surely found you. And then he would have probably made use of you. You don't know that? Are you from around here?"
"Made use of me?" I said, ignoring his last statement with nervousness. What did he mean by that?
All Takeo did was laugh.
"Wow you really are innocent." He said laughing.
Ignoring him, I answered his question.
"I am Kinomoto Sakura." I said.
"And the ice woman gives her name." Takeo said smiling.
I couldn't help but smile back.
"I was traveling with a man... Yamamoto Yuki. Do you happen to know him?" I asked hopefully.
He shook his head and my heart dropped. I should have sounded so conceited back then!
"Well, seems like your stuck with us. Kaia had taken the throne title many years ago. The true prince of China has been in hiding. We think he was in Japan, but we weren't sure. The time is soon to come when the prince is to take back his throne." Takeo said.
A bell could be heard from coming outside.
"Ahh... the meeting is about to start." He said cheerfully.
"Come with me to the meeting." He said.
An order.
My feet moved by itself and I followed him like a devoted puppy. Pooh!
Takeo walked to the corner of the room. He lifted a pot and swished the rug under it aside.
I gasped.
A door on the ground!
Takeo opened it and grinned.
"After you m'lady." He said.
##### ##### ##### #####
=Xiao Lang POV=
"Where can that stupid girl be?!" I raged.
Sakura was nowhere to be found!
"What did you say to her back then?" Fahren said frowning.
"I told her to go." I said hitting my head, "omg, did she take me literally?!"
"Apparently so." Fahren said, "either way, you must find her! If you don't, Kaia's men will!"
"Will do!" I yelled, as I entered the woods.
"Wait!" Fahren yelled.
She ran into her house and ran back out, carrying a piece of paper.
"You must go to Beijing." She said handing me the slip of paper, "find a man named Sabishi. Give this to him. He will tell you what to do next. You are the only hope for this country. Kaia if not stopped, will destroy it."
I nodded, taking the paper and ran into the woods.
After around 5 minutes of hard running, I stopped.
"Where... am I suppose to look for that stupid girl?!"
##### ##### #####
=Sakura POV=
I entered the underground path with Takeo.
Lanterns dimly lighted the tunnel.
Takeo, was going on about the resistance against Kaia.
"We call ourselves the Fandui. The opposers. It's made up of mostly the commoners and the people who believe that the real royal family will come back one day and take back the throne. Almost 10 years ago, the true rulers of China, Queen Yelan and King Xishen, and their 4 daughters and one son were driven from their throne. King Xishen was quite shocked. Kaia was his advisor and it never occurred to him that he would betray him.
Anyway, after Kaia had the royal family removed, he attempted to assassinate each and every one of them. The only person assassinated, was the King. The royal family was loved by their people. They were kind and generous people, while at the same time, strict. There is a prophecy and legend that the prince, the last hope of China, will come back and take the throne back from Kaia." Taeko finished.
"Really?" I asked excitingly, "What is the princes name?"
"Li Xiao Lang." Replied Taeko, "They say that it is nearly time. It is time to resist and oppose, ah, here we are."
I looked up and saw a brightly lighted room.
"Stay close to me." He said. Another order. "These people are pretty paranoid."
I smooshed myself against him, much to my dismay, and I didn't know, but much to his delight.
As we walked in the room together, I felt eyes on me.
I ignored the stares and saw a table in the front of the cave like room.
Around the table sat middle aged to old wizened men. An air of importance surrounded them and I felt I was in the presence of something great.
"The elders." Takeo whispered next to me, "the ones that had taken charge of the Fandui. They will give that title to Li Xiao Lang once he appears in China again."
I felt the spell wear off. One good thing about the curse was that its came off at different periods of time. This was exceptionally short. Some could go on forever.
I walked a little away, trying to get a better view of the elders, when I bumped into a man around my age.
"Im sorry...!!"
I looked at the man again.
"Yuki?!"
