Episode 09: Mongolian Rebellion
The princess stood up and looked serious looking at them all, "I am here to help you battle the Mongolians!" Everyone looked shocked.
"But your highness," Rika stepped forward, "You are a princess and you know your father would never allow it." Her expression changed, "Then what's the worth of letting me training with sweats and pain?"
Sakura gasped, "The princess train?" Tomoyo looked at her and walked over to her. She held on Sakura's hands, "Sakura-chan, it's been a long time since we met!" Sakura had dots.
"You knew her?" Shaoran pointed and Sakura shook her head and left and right. "Eh?" Tomoyo snapped and smiled, "Sorry about that. You didn't recognise me didn't you?" They looked lost. "You see that time I was disguising as a poor citizen," she smiled, "And you, Kinomoto Sakura, was the nicest among them all." Her expression changed, "Even though you 'act' like a boy!"
She had veins popping out started screaming, "Sorry about acting like a boy!" "Now... now.." Shaoran calmed her from behind.
Eriol closed his eyes. Actually he already took this princess the prettiest lady around but he hasn't moved his heart from Sakura. He opened her eyes, "Your highness..." Everyone looked at him. "The battle between Tokyo and Mongolians are dangerous. Blood shed will come, or maybe death. Are you ready for the consequences?"
"Mr. Terada Eriol..." She looked determined, "I am concerned of my country and my father seemed to let the unrelated blood to battle them to death. I don't like that at all. I will one day become an Empress and I will do anything that will help my country before I stepped on that world!" She looked serious and Eriol couldn't move his eyes off her. "I am the oldest in the princesses and all my younger sisters are scared. They are also scared they would be captivated. Especially as the princesses and I have the right to protect them," She was looking directly to her, "I don't care what the consequences are. Blood shed or death, I don't care any of those! All I care is peace and harmony."
She sounded mature even though at first she acted like a kid running away from the guards. Izumi shut his eyes and turned, "Let's see how good your training are." He stepped in a fighting area. It looked like Dojo but it was wider.
They all followed from behind and Tomoyo stood opposite to him serious. He looked at her, "As a Terada, I have the right to test you as we are responsible in this war." "I can't disagree in that," She replied, "Let's start with empty handed?"
"Okay, I obey your highness order," Eriol replied and everyone looked excited. Eriol put on a position while Tomoyo stood there unmoving. Eriol headed towards her and started to attack her a couple of times but somehow she evaded every of the attacks without any movements seen. However her eyes looked serious and determined.
"She's fast..." Shaoran watched, "This is 'Peek in the darkness'. It enables you to escape any attacks less than just a second." "I have heard about that," Yoshiyuki gulped with sweat drops, "But I never knew it existed." "Shaoran, you didn't teach me that technique," Sakura was in chibi complaining and he looked at her. "That's because I don't know the technique," He replied and watched them again, "Because it only pass down in the royalty family."
As Eriol started panting awhile, Tomoyo shut her eyes and moved down. All eyes widened shocked, she was not there anymore. Eriol snapped and punched the air. He looked around, she was not around.
"This still relates with 'Peek in the darkness'," Shaoran pointed seriously with sweat drops. "Which means she's around but in the darkness dimension," Sakura had sweat drops. Everyone looked at her with irritated eyes. "What?" She reacted back.
"You are reading to much of the library books," Shaoran pointed and Sakura had her mouth open wide. "Who was the one who ordered me to read all the books there?" She pointed at him but he didn't reply.
Eriol then heard a small giggle and before he could know it, Tomoyo appeared in front of his eyes very close and she was smiling and giggling. She hit his shoulder and he fell down to his knees holding his right shoulder. Tomoyo was still smiling.
"Onii-chan!" Meili looked worried and ran to him, "Are you okay?" "Peek in the darkness... what a special technique...." Eriol thought alone. For the first time in his life, this girl that appear before him, the princess could actually defeat him. "But..." He stood up and looked at her as she was smiling wide, "You don't know how to use any weapons." Everyone snapped.
Tomoyo stopped smiling and looked serious looking at them. All of a sudden, their surrounding were filled with flame as everyone has sweat drops all over. "Scary..." Sakura held on Shaoran's arm with sweat drop. Shaoran gulped, "You tell me..."
"I am saying this because your technique on empty handed is too perfect," Eriol explained, "And that shows that you don't know anything to do with weapons." Meili and the twins started applauding him from behind. Tomoyo shrugged and turned, "You can't me for this because we princesses aren't allowed to hold any weapons." Everyone crashed down.
"What about the serious talk you were talking previously?" Eriol screamed; he was pissed. She stopped and looked down, "But I will do my best to defeat them... for my sisters..." There were younger girls in her mind giggling and smiling, "I don't want them to lose their smile and laughs..."
"Terada-san!" A soldier bragged in and everyone turned, "The Mongolians are attacking the wall, sir!" "What?" Everyone was shocked. It was unexpected because they don't usually give these surprises; it was a rebellious thought. They all ran out the house and headed towards the country's gate.
"Wow!" Sakura adored like a little girl, "It looked pretty from here." Shaoran hit her from behind, "Concentrate!" She had a tear, "Shaoran, you're mean." They saw the Mongolians attacking the wall with the prince as the leader.
"It's the prince again," Eriol pointed and saw three girls tied up on the ground beside the prince and the monk. "Not good..." Shaoran said from his left and Eriol looked at him, "Those girls are the captives from our country." Everyone looked shocked. Shaoran's sight was much better than the others. Tomoyo flinched and stepped forward. She tried to look the captives using the binocular and gasped, "Those are my sisters!"
"What a disgraceful thing to do!" Terada fisted and the prince screamed to them. "Mr. Terada, you can see who's in my hands," He said determined, "I have the 3 princesses here." He pointed his fan towards them, "If you don't want them dead, just give it all up."
"You bastard!" They heard Tomoyo's scream, "Let go of them." She looked in rage. The captives looked up and saw the long silver hair, "Onee-sama!" "If you don't let them go, I will kill you all," Her eyes were serious and dark.
"Isn't that bragging..." Sakura said from behind and Shaoran rolled his eyes. "I see... so you must be Princess Tomoyo, the heiress Empress of Tokyo..." The prince looked at her, "If you really want to kill me, then try me!" He started laughing and his guards started laughing with him.
Tomoyo fisted and turned to walk down the stairs. Eriol stopped her, "What are you trying to do?" "Move out of my way!" She said angrily. He didn't budge. "Move out of the way, I say. I order you!" "Are you trying to rescue your sisters with an empty handed?" He looked at her seriously. "Mr. Terada Eriol, I told you a hundred times, I don't care anything!" She screamed, "And you are stopping me from rescuing my sisters?"
He looked at her with stare, "I am coming with you." "Eh?" She snapped and bit her lips. She can't refuse, "Thank you." Her smile and expression were different now and his eyes couldn't move away from her again. He snapped and looked away, "Let's go!"
"Eriol-kun, the lifes' of the princesses lays in your hands," Yoshiyuki said from behind and smiled, "Good Luck, my son." He turned and looked at Shaoran and Sakura, "You too will guard the gate. If they step in, stop them!"
"Hai!" They replied and ran down the stairs. He shut his eyes, "We will win this battle... for Tokyo's citizen..." "Yoshiyuki..." Rika looked at him and looked at her daughter and the twins, "Meili, you come back with me. Boys, you stay with your teacher in this battle!" "Hai!" They replied.
Tomoyo stood in front of the Mongolians soldiers seriously, "Don't get on my way!" They looked scared and moved away. "Hrm..." The prince was on the end and looked at her walking towards him. He adored her hrming. "Onee-sama!" The three princesses screamed but the guards didn't allow them to move.
"You are very pretty in personal..." The prince stood up and turn around her, "HRm... if I marry you, then I would conquer Tokyo just a in a blink of eye!" "Don't be so proud about," She replied, "I am not interested to an persistent guy like you!"
He clenched his teeth and in rage, he want to hit her with the fan but Eriol grabbed the fan before it hit her. "You?" The prince looked at him, "Terada's son." "I will not let you hurt the future Empress," He was now serious.
Shaoran and Sakura stood on the gate while the soldiers were standing just down there after they attacked the wall roughly that it broke down. The couple raised up their swords opposite from each other and looked at each other. "This would be a biggest battle in your life, Sakura. Can you handle it?" Shaoran looked at her.
"Of course I can," She replied, "I am the student of the of the greatest powerful Li Yelan and Li Shaoran, the princess and prince of Tomb Sector." Her expression then changed, "In addition, there's you to protect me." He had a sweat drop and the soldiers headed towards them. They looked at them and attacked them after they made a high jump.
"Protective I see..." The prince repeated and thought for a second, "You're not telling me that you are her fiancee?" They suddenly that a blush and they whined together. They looked at each other and blushed redder. Eriol corrected himself and pointed at him, "If you touch her with a single finger, I'll kill you!" For some reason Eriol really meant it. He understand something in Tomoyo, the future Empress.
