Ok here is chapter 2
I don't own CCS but I will some day. I want to thank those of you that reviewed. I appreciated it.
The Declaration/ Betrayal
Touya just looked at his father with an expression of if he was slapped hard across the face. Fujitaka noticing the silence of Touya looks back at him to see a shocked expression upon the younger man's face.
Silence envelops the two men....
Questions ran through Touya's mind as he stared back at the man he called father.
(How dare him! How could he? Why? WHY!? )
"WHY!!?" roared Touya snapping back from his thoughts. "HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT KIND OF DECISION TO WHO WOULD BE YOUR SUCCESOR TO THE THRONE!?"
"Look Touya, I and the advisors felt that this would be best for the future of the kingdom if your sister was to become successor to the throne" stated King Fujitaka calmly as he looked at Touya. "It has become clear to me and the advisors that you are too cruel and unfeeling to the people of this country to be their leader."
"I WILL BE A GREAT LEADER FOR THE PEOPLE TO FOLLOW!"
"No you will not, just look at what you did to the maid that was in here." Fujitaka spoke as his temper rose. "You broke that poor 's wrist when she could not answer your question."
"Well she should have just said she did not know-" began Touya
"SHE DID TELL YOU!! I HEARD HEAR SAY THAT BEFORE I CAME INTO THE ROOM. YET YOU DID NOT HEAR HER AS YOU WERE TOO EAGER TO HURT HER TO HEAR HER OUT!!," roared Fujitaka as he lost his temper. Touya's eyes widened and he looked down at his feet shock at his father's actions. Never had the King raised his voice or yelled at him.
Seeing his son's face, Fujitaka's eyes and facial expression softened and he looked away ashamed of his actions. "I apologize for yelling." "But what you did to the maid was just an example of how you treat the servants. I have seen you yell at and beat any that get in your way when you are in one of your moods. And I am not the only one who thinks this is for the best, Your Mother..."
"What does Mother have to do with this?" questioned Touya as he looked up from the floor to regard his father.
"Touya, Your mother feels the same as I do."
Touya looked like he was stabbed in the back. He collapsed to his knees in front of Fujitaka not being able stand after what his Father said. "No, You're lying she would not betray me as you and the advisors have. She-she loves me and would-would do anything for me, I know she would not have agreed with you. stated Touya as he looked at his Father with is tear stained face and ing voice. "She had to disagree with you, she had too.
Fujitaka just shook his head no as he bent down too comort his son. "I'm sorr-"
"NO DO NOT TRY TO CONFORT ME AS IF YOU CARED FOR ME!!" screamed Touya as he pushed his Father away and stood up and turned to go leaving the king on the floor of the chamber."I am going to speak with mother, I will not believe you. She would have been against this, I am positive."
"Touya-"
"No father, I will not listen to another word. You have betrayed me. Your only son because you are afraid of me and my potental as future King. So you decided to give the kingdom up to Sakura so you could control the kingdom even after she took over. HA, what a pathetic attempt to stay in power." finished Touya as he slammed the door closed behind him.
: In the Garden :
Nadeshiko sat in the shade of a cherry blossom tree enjoying the peace and tranquility of nature when a pair of hands covered her eyes.
"Guess who?!" whispered a small voice giggling.
Nadeshiko smiled at hearing the voice. "Now let me see, is it a little birdy?"
"No" said the voice giggling at the answer.
"Hmm, Then how about my little Cherry Blosssom" laughed Nadeshiko as she turned and grabbed the small child and started to tickle her on her sides.
"HOE-E" screamed the little as giggles erupted from her as Nadeshiko continued the . "NO, no stop Mommy stop" laughed the as Nadeshiko finished tickling her little .
Nadeshiko looked down at the small in her lap. She had honey brown hair that was to her shoulders and in pig tails. Her emerald eyes looked up at Nadeshiko and she smiled up at the woman.
Nadeshiko returned the smile and kissed the on the forehead. "Now Sakura what were you up to my princess"
"OH, Mommy I was just watching the butterflies flying. They are sooo beautiful and neat. I wish I could fly with them. Do you think I could mommy, do you think I could fly with them one day?" asked Sakura looking back at her mother with a smile.
"Of course dear, when you find your love and soulmate. Then the butterflies will help you to fly to the moon and back." said Nadeshiko with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.
"Hoe"
Nadeshiko opened her eyes to look at her daughter. Sakura stood there with a confused look.
"What do you mean Mommy?"
"You will know what I mean when you are older dear, for you must experience it for yourself." came Nadeshiko's reply.
Before Sakura could say anothor thing.
"MOTHER, WHERE ARE YOU!?" was shouted somewhere in the distance.
Nadeshiko knew this was coming. So she looked at Sakura who was looking for the source of the voice. "Sakura I want you to go back to the castle and see your father."
"But Momm-" Sakura was cut off when Touya burst into view.
"Mother, I need to decuss something of great importance with you"
"Yes I know what you want to talk about Touya." came Nadeshiko's reply.
"Now Sakura I want you to leave, understand."
"But-"
"NO EXCUSES LEAVE NOW!!!" snapped Touya. Sakura jumped back and tears began to fall. Her brother never yelled at her before. She turned back to her mommy an ran to her seeking comfort. Nadeshiko knelt down to Sakura and hugged the crying ."Shh, It's ok just go back to the castle an wait for me their, alright" Sakura looked up, nodded then left heading back to the castle.
Nadeshiko watched Sakura an when she was sure the little was gone she turn back to Touya. "Now that we are alone let talk"
"Fine, Father and the advisors have made the decision to give Sakura the kingdom when she turns . I feel that this is a mistake an that I should be the one to rule over this kingdom since it is my birth right." began Touya." They feel that I would be a tyrannt and the knigdom would not prosper under me. But I could make this country great and expand the size of it. The neighboring land are weak an-"
"Stop, what you speak of is war. You think that can bring better lives for our people" stated Nadeshiko looking start at Touya."How will war make our country better for the people who lose loved ones in it. What will you say to the children whose fathers and brother don't return to them. What about the homes destroyed and lost to the flames of war.
"Mother those are only small consequences compared to the larger prize that would be won. They could be amended after the wars are over. You need to make Father and the advisors see that what I will do for the kingdom will help it."
"No Touya I will not do that." Nadeshiko said turning to face the Cherry Blossom tree.
"But Mother you are the only one that can change his mind."
"Touya your Father wasnot the one who made the decision"
"Wh-what do you mean Mother, I thought it was him"
"No Touya" Nadeshiko turned to face Touya." I was the one who made the decision."
Touya's world crashed for a second time that day. First at finding that the decision was true and now finding that his Mother was the one that came up with the idea. His mother, she was suppose to love him, look out for him, respect him. Touya stumbled back " NO, NO" his hands came up to his face as he crumbled to his knees."IT CAN'T BE"
Nadeshiko ran to his side and tried to comfort him. " I'm sorr-"
"NO YOUR NOT!!" sreamed Touya as he threw his mother on to her back and stood up.
"YOUR NOT SORRY AT ALL. YOU BETRAYED ME JUST LIKE HIM. YOU ARE NO BETTER. I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME. I AM YOUR SON, BUT I GUESS THAT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU OR FATHER DOES IT.
"But I do love you my son." cried Nadeshiko as laid on the ground looking up at her son.
"NO I will not believe you, How can I believe what you say when you have already betrayed me once." Touya's voice turned icy as he said his.
"But-"
"No I will not listen to any more lies"
Touya turned an started to walk away but stopped after a few steps.
"An Mother" Touya's voice was icy and Nadeshiko shivered from it. " I am leaving the knigdom tonight. I will not stay with those that believe I am not worth loving. Deliver this message to father will you. I will return see to it that you both live to regret this decision." An with that he was gone.
Nadeshiko sat there for a long time just staring at where Touya stood. An then broke down sobbing.
" I sorry Touya."
