TWO YEARS LATER:
Sakura
I sat down beside a fountain staring into the depths of the water.
Who knew anything could be so huge. It made me want to laugh just
at the thought that anything coudl be so huge. It was almost
11 feet tall...rediculous as it is. This ball was so boring it made
me want to puke. The only person I'd danced with let alone talked
to the entire ngiht was Eriol. Who was in fact my best friend at the
time.
I heard the way he cried each and every single night calling out tomo's
name and whispering to himself. I'm afraid he'd gone insane. Dear eriol
It was a fact that my brother woudl never coem back to ahem "save me"
It only took me two years to realize that. I roll my eys at the thought.
Hope is meaningless for the time being. I woudl be dead soon anyway.
The rebellion got closer everyday and even if I wasn't for the kinomoto
kingdom I was their princess and If I was caught I'd be killed. Eriol
didn't care as long as he could see her face once more. I felt foolish
for my thoughts in the old days. Of my foolish will, and wanting freedom
of hating syaoran....oh syaoran.
His face had lessened and lessened in my mind over the years. I think I
will be able to forget abotu him soon. Before my death atleaste.
"Sakura-dear come here for a minute" I heard my fathers voice ring about
my ears. I picked up my silk white ball gown and headed for the ball room.
"What do you want?" I demanded. "Now now. That is no way to talk to your
future husband." A young man said. Ick. It was him. With my father. After
the rebellion had uproared my father changed my engagement and killed everyone
in the hirigaziowa family but Eriol. Dirty bastard. So I was engaged to
Ponance (haha what a stupid name) An ugly blonde who was OBSESSED with himself.
"Now you too dance with each other will you?" My father smirked and stalked off.
"I refuse to dance with Prejudice Ponance." It was a funny nickname I had thought
up. Retarded but he still made a face when I said it. So I insisted on it. Eriol
strolled over. "Now now Sakura thats no way to talk to your future husband." He
mimicked with a wry smile. I giggled and took Eriol hand. "Toodle." I waved with
a smirk.
"prejudice Ponance? How rediculous do you get?" He poked my head. "I think your
smarts blew down the drain after the leave." He called the war the leave. Strange
but tomoyo left during the war so..
"I know but it annoys him to death so..." I smirked and made a fist. "Your an idiot
you know that?" Eriol poked fun. "I know. I am and always will be. I just wish
my idiocy could help the leave in soem way. Ah god Eriol look at what your doing
to my vocabulary!!" I playfully smacked his head. God I missed Syaoran.
"Yeah well its no time to be poking fun." Eriol's face screwed serious. "The leave
are less then five miles away and they say captain c is leading them." "WHAT??"
I exclaimed. So maybe I woudln't just be put to death but tortured.
Captain c was the leader of the rebellion. He was the most coragous fighter
think I'd ever meet. Well If i do. "I'm not sure who to trust anymore an-"
I was cut off by the sound of an explosion. "Shit Saku their here!!" I looked
outside the doors. "Run Eriol. No. Thsi isn't !!" I saw him look
at the door and run. "HURRY SAKU!!!" They burst down the doors almost infesting
everywhere like maggets or termites.
I knew what my fate was but I coudl fight it. I drew my sword and stood my ground.
I wasn't going to die just yet. I fought off a couple of slaves I had known.
Careful nto to kill them. I saw man after man of royalty fall to the ground and
soon there was no one left but me. I stood alone.
I saw a soldier coem at me and swing her sword. "FOR FREEDOM!!" She slashed at me
but I blocked it and fought her off. "I want you all to have freedom too. But you
cannot just kill innocent royals." I moved on. MAn after man came at me and I threw
them down. They didn't knwo who I was. I didn't care
There were only about 30 left and one came charging at me but was held back by a man in
black coat. I had my war helmet on so no one coudl tell it was me. The man in black
slowly came towards me. He knocked the word out of my hand in a single shot and said.
"Captain what about this one?" Another man in black with red chinese letters all
over hsi suit said. "She's a good fighter. We may need her in battle." WHAT?
I was terribly confused. "NO KILL HER!!" I roar rang out about the room. The red
man hobbled over to me. "Has she killed any of ours." "A FEW!!" roared the
crowd. HE looked at me and I saw piercing amber eyes through his black mask.
He drew his sword and held it to my throat.
"So your the captain c huh?" I whispered. Yes yes I am." A bit of blood spurred from
my throat. I winced in pain. "Goodbye then" I coudl almostfee; his eyes widening
adn he screamed. "FOR FREEDOM!!" and the world went black..
I didn't know how long it was before I coudl finally open my eyes. I looked around
me. There were thousands of millions of people everywhere. Cleaning, cooking
taking care of children. My eyes shot open and a wobbled up. "Where...Where
am I??" I said hoarsley. "This hun is the rebellion." Boomed a sweet voice.
I looked up and saw a woman with beautiful amber hair and a small smile. "Lets
take a walk shall we?" She grabbed my arm.
"Hwo the hell did I get here??" I groaned in pain. "Well it seems our leader
bashed you over the head with a pot so you would fall unconcious." She looked
at me. "Your the princess. Princess Sakura you will fight for the rebellion."
"I will." I said. Her yes widened. "I thoguht-but aren't you going to put
up a fight?" I felt my face screw up and tears try to break through but I held
them back. "No..I alwasy wanted to join the rebellion.but soemhow i coudl never
leave." The woman looked deeper into my eyes. "You will eb a true hero."
"By the way I'm Kaho. I'm the nurse aroudn here." She smiled. "Please exuse
the smell there are so many people and new slaves livign here and working" She
sighed. "You'll be training as a fighter and cleaning." She smiled again.
"Oh." I whispered. "I understand you wish to be alone now." Kaho said softly
befoire whisking off. I looked at my surroundings. Oh dear lord you have spared
my life how ever cna i thank you. I was more thankful then I had ever been.
So this was my new life? Wow. It sure was soemthing..I''ll give it that.
I lay down by the medow and fell asleep.
When I woke up I was once again by thousands of people in a huge hut on a bed.
I saw Kaho doing something in a corner. My stomach lurched in pain. "ahh"
My head burned with sweat and I felt liek a coudln't move. "Kaho."
She looked over at me and smiled. "Oh your awake?" She walked over to my
bedside. "Kaho whats wrong with me. I fall asleep so mcuh and my stomach."
I groaned in pain. "Oh it's actually sortof happy news. Well your
your pregnant." I jumped fromt he bedside and lurched back down again in
pain. "How??" I whispered. Then I remebered the ngiht my father made me sleep
in a slaves compartment because he was so angry. The slave had been treated
badley so he...he raped me. Oh I coudl still ehar the screams.
I shook the thoughts away. "How long??' She smiled again. "DIdn't you
notice your stimach getting larger and rounder??" "No.." I said in a deathly
whisper. "How long?" "well your baby will be coming by tomrorrow night."
My eyes burst open. "WhaT??!!" She laughed. DOn't worry you can still move a bit.
I shook my head in wonder before remembering. Eriol. Eriol. Eriol. Oh no.
WHERE WAS HE??!! I screamed. "Eriol." Kaho jumped back a bit and smiled again.
He's alright." "WHat??" She looked at me again. "He's alright he's in teh
men's area right now. I told him the news and he smiled a bit before wincing
Does he wince a lot?" I nodded. "How did you knwo he was my fr-" "Shh" Go to
sleep now."
On MAy 13th my baby was born. HE had peircing emerald eyes and soft fuzzy auburn hair.
He was very tiny btu never screamed cried or fussed. He woudl sit with me and I woudl
woudl hold him for what seemed liek forever. I was gettign used to my nerw life.
here with the people. Here with my son.
By two oclack one after noon the cleanign ladies came over and gossiped to me
and eriol abotu the war. How thigns were going and who was the hottest soldier.
so far captain c was at the top. He seemed to always have been. They put
eriol in second. I guffawed at the look on his face as he told them he was s
in love with soemone else.
Byt he fifth day I was used to their ramblings and the food. The whole
lifestyle. One day five men came int o the village with peirced skin.
the smeel of blood filled the rebellion adn people went off to war.
The population lessened after time. My training was going well and
one day eriol and I would too join the rebellion.
On the seventh day the gossiping ladies coudl be heard screaming. Tehy
ran to us and told us the old news and then the new. Supossidly the
captain c and his royal men were coming to the rebellion to rest for awhile.
So we'd meet again.
There was an uproar around the rebellion many people fussed over what to
wear that day or what to say. They wanted the rebellion to look cleaner
and the slaves to stay locked away. I didn't bother abotu it. Kaho
and Eriol didn't either. I sighed one day as I stepped otu into the sunlight.
Suddenl I saw three screamign people runnign down the dirt roads.
The rebellion looked no better then before. The people were dirty or
bloody there were thousands of dead people lyign around. No one seemed
friendly and everyone was filled with poverty. They claimed after the war
over everythign woudl turn around. It was true but whoi knew how logn the
war would last.
The people were screaming "It's them!! It's them!!" Their here!!"
The people cheered and went back to what they were doing. I scoffed.
10 black horses with ten figures riding on them came strolling down
the dirt path. At the front was the red figure. He jumped off
his horse and led hsi men to tie away their horses. They each
followed after him and came back to the village-part.
The first man took off his mask. He had long golden hair and blue eyes.
The second was bald with many scars and wise eyes.
The third man had short black hair and was quite handsome.
The fourth had a scar on his cheek and gleaming gold eyes.
The fifth was a middle aged man with glasses and a dicrepid smile.
The sixth had red hair tied in a pony tail and samurai robes.
The seventh was very tall with wild green hair and snake eyes.
Theeigth semmed liek the strongest so far. He had
extremely large muscles he had extremely long black hair and brown
eyes.
The crowd began to cheer "captain c and hsi main man. captain c and hsi main man.
Kaho said No one had ever seen the ninth or the tenth. captain c and
his best warrior. No one had ever beaten captain c. and his warrior
had been beaten only once. but with captain c they were undefeatable.
The ninth slowly raised its mask to reveal a beautiful young woman.
Her long purple hair blew in the wind and her amethist eyes were unreal.
I coudl not believe the sight before me I clutched my baby to my chest
It was Tomoyo. My best friend. Tomoyo Li.
I screamed "ERIOL ERIOL ERIOL ERIOL!!" and I saw him. He had dropped
his sword and was staring at her liek there was no tomorrow. His eys
they were...gone..it seemed liek nothing filled hsi eyes but emptiness as he
stood there staring on and on. I ran to him tears streamign down my
face. "Eriol.."
Captain c had taken his mask off but I hadn't looked nor cared
Eriol..and tomoyo..tomoyo..tomoyo..the memories crashed into ym mind.
and I looked over at the tenth man. I saw him frown and turn to me
and amber met emerald. my eyes had been deceiving me. Syaoran.
He was standing in front of me. "Syaoran Li.." I fell to the ground
and blcked out. It was like my mind overloaded.
I had seen Syaoran. My Syaoran Li.
