----Chapter 19 Thoughtful Day -----
Back in the Kinomoto Kingdom,Tomoyo and the others waited impatiently for the Ewal to come back, the soft breeze blew and fall was coming soon. Tomoyo sighed and remembered her best memories of Sakura and her playing in the leaves with Kero and Spinnel.
"Sakura..." Tomoyo said as she walked to the gardens where she saw Eriol talking with Kero and Yukito.
"The Ewal hasn't come yet, please don't be sad Tomoyo.....it will come don't worry..." Eriol said to her as he held her hand and smiled softly at her.
"I know it will... she wouldn't forget..." Kero said and looked at Yukito who was apparently quieter than usual. As soon as Tomoyo and Eriol left them, he asked Yukito,"How's that girl Toya brought back?" Yukito sighed and shooked his head.
"Still the same, she's been unconscious for three days now...I've never seen Toya so worried before..." Yukito said as he thought of how everyone reacted as Toya brought the mysterious woman to a room. Yukito smiled and said, "I think he's found his match.."
Kero nodded and replied to him with a grin,"Well then, I'm gonna get me something to eat...I smell an apple pie waiting for me in the kitchen..mmm..." As then Kero saw Spinnel running to the kitchen as well and shouted,"YOU LITTLE BAKA! THAT'S MY APPLE PIE!!!" as he ran to the kitchen chasing Spinnel.
Yuki, smiled and thought of how immature sweet addicts they can be....Sakura message is coming soon I can feel the orb coming closer to her..He thought. He knew it was too soon to call her back to the kingdom, since there were still Dark Shadows across the land looking for her and she needed to fulfill the prophecy that was to become of her. The Sapphire Princess...Yukito looked at the light blue sky and walked back into the castle.
Toya who looked out of the small room watched as that mysterious woman was still unconscious...it had been almost three days ever since he had met her and for the first time in so many years did he feel freedom for once...Being away from the castle, away from the stress of being King of Kinomoto Kingdom...Even this woman had made him feel like he was free for once. Toya knew it was today that message was to come from Sakura. All of a sudden he heard a small groan coming from the bed and he quickly walked to her. Opening her eyes he sighed in relief, she blinked once or twice as she said with her weak voice,"W-where am I?" Her red-amber eyes looked at him with curious gleam. Something about her made him feel strange, as if this dark angel was also alone and lost as he was. He felt a certain connection between her and himself just by the look of her eyes. Ruby who looked at this jet blacked hair, and deep blue eyes and realized it was the same man who had rescued her from the Tavern that night. It felt as if it was a dream that she was with this dark hero of hers.
"Your in safe hands...and its been three days ever since you fainted.." he said to her with his deep voice as he took the wet cloth off her forehead.
"W-what happened?' She asked him as he replaced the wet towel.''I remembered following you and then ...it was all dark.."Toya shook his head, it seems that she forgot about slapping me and insulting me....he thought.
"You bumped into me and then collapse on my feet.." He replied, looking away.
"Oh, dear..' she said and looked at him with a sense of sadness in the depths of her red-amber eyes.'I'm sorry...I remember now, I slapped you and insulted you...I'm forever sorry...."tears began to form in her eyes. Toya who looked at her came and held her close.
"Shh...its all right, please don't cry..." he said in a soothing voice. She felt the tears fall down and she held him closer to her.
"Y-you save me from those men and took care of me when I did was slap you and insulted you...please forgive me...' She began to cry even harder then.'N-nobody has ever done that for before...and now...I'm so sorry.."
"Its all right, its all right...' he said.'We'll talk more after you eat something and better... here I'll get you some soup and bread.." Toya slowly let go of her and he turned to the door.
"W-wait..."she said before he opened the door, "I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Ruby Moon.." extending her hand towards him.
"I'm Toya Kinomoto...' he said to her as she smiled and once again the connection of sparks came between them, smoothly Toya smiled and said to her,'I'll get you your meal..."as then he closed the door.
Ruby smiled and said softly, "Toya huh?" This is going to be an interesting day...she thought to herself as she looked outside the window where there showed a light blue sky and clouds.
Sakura stirred the stew that was cooking as Sanako was preparing the new tonic that Sakura taught her to make for Miaka. Both Takaji and Syaoran were still asleep in their rooms, since they came so early in the morning. She was so happy to see that they were both safe and that they came back, but she still couldn't get the picture of Syaoran's cloak that was stained with dried blood out of her mind. Ever since their trip here, he seemed different in a way that Sakura never saw him in. Oh dear...what is going on? Something was strange about this whole trip to Lady Sanako's. So many thoughts ran through her head as she went outside. An Ewal was there watching her and it squawked and screeched as if calling her."Oh no! I almost forgot!" She shouted as she ran to the Ewal that awaited for her.
"Arigatoo, you reminded me..." Taking the Dragon Orb from the Ewal, she repeated the words to open the Orb. As it opened she smiled and placed a new message within the Orb. Walking back to the front door, she heard someone calling out her name..It was Melin who was running quickly to Sakura.
"Hello Sakura!! What a lovely day it is!"
"Yes, it is...what brings you here? Did something happen?" Sakura asked worriedly.
Melin giggled and replied, "No.. no..nothing's wrong just wanting to say hello!' she winked at
Sakura and continued, 'Jeez Sakura, you worry too much.." Sakura smiled and laughed with Melin.
"Come on, lets go for a walk..."Melin tugged on Sakura's sleeve.
"I'd like to..but umm..I don't know...I have to stay and watch and Miaka..."
"Its all right dear...you can go ahead...I will watch these children for you..." Sanako said and winked at Sakura and Melin. They all laughed as Sanako waved and watched the two girls walk to the main part of the village. Sanako smiled and thought, I have never seen Syaoran so happy before...arigatoo...Sakura-chan....
A few minutes later as Melin and Sakura went to through the village they talked about everything.. They went and walked around in the village as people greeted them and children's' laughter was heard all over.
"So? How are things between Syaoran and you?"Melin asked her.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked with a confused look.
"Well something there between both of you...and I've never seen Syaoran so emotionally living before...even Daisetsu had noticed..."Melin smiled at Sakura.
"Hehheh, um...well...we are just friends that's all.." Sakura said to her.
"Oh?' Melin looked at her with a grin.'Are you sure?"
"Yes, Of-course we are!" Sakura quickly replied.
Walking back to Sanako's house the skies became became a reddish blue and colors combined, Melin said," I hear Miaka is doing well..."
"Yes, it was a good thing Syaoran and I came as soon as we could..."
"Thank goodness, it a good thing they did...the Goddess have sent me two angels...' Sanako, who appeared from the door, gave Sakura a hug and said ' Your mother would be very proud of you...she was a magnificent healer wasn't she?" She looked at her and released her. They all walked inside and sat down.
" Yes, she was..." Sakura said remembering her memories of when she was a child and her mother telling her about the potions and healing herbs for making medicine. The memories swirled around her and then it came to that day...when everything was lost. It had been almost years now and seeing how much time had passed by ever since.
"Sakura? Sakura?" Sanako asked her.
"Hmm?Oh gomen..heh heh..I kinda spaced out there for a minute..." Sakura laughed as Sanako shook her head.
"As I was saying...my sister from a neighboring village is coming today and I hope Syaoran and you could stay for a while...they've heard so much about you...if you don't mind...and you can bring your Daisetsu too Melin.. "
"Oh of-course we can stay a little bit longer...'Sakura smiled as Melin smiled and stood up.
"Well, I'll go tell Daisetsu about it..I'll see you all later... SAKURA, Sanako-chan..." Melin winked and left.
Syaoran who yawned came through the kitchen as Sanako smiled and said,"My goodness you must be hungry...thank you so much for finding Takaji...anything could've happen to him..." Sanako said as she gave him a cup of green tea.
"How's Miaka?' Syaoran asked her.' It was a good thing I found Takaji in time." As then Sakura appeared from the back door and smiled at Syaoran and said, "Syaoran...you're awake..."
"Yes indeed...' he laughed,'I think I overslept a bit today didn't I?" Sakura smile back at him as they just looked at each other and then looked away. Something they both thought...Something was there.. but. Their heart beating loudly in their ears as Sanako ended the silence.
"Miaka is doing fine now, I just checked on her a moment ago...probably she'll be better in a couple of days..." Sakura said as she heard a wagon coming closer.
"Oh who may that be? Here you two stay here and enjoy your tea." Sanako said as she walked to the front door. Sakura who slowly moved to the table where Syaoran sat and sat in front of him.
"Sakura...thank you...." Syaoran said to her. After a moment of silence passed between them and heard Sanako greet someone from outside. Before Sakura could ask why he said what he said. A girl about Tomoyo's age came in the room, she was wearing a beautiful kimono and when she saw Syaoran she ran to him and squealed.
"SYAO-SAMA!!!" she shouted placing her arms around his neck. Sakura looked at this girl who had her arms around Syaoran and thought SYAORAN-SAMA? Just who was this girl who had her arms around him?!
