Sakura sighed as she marked off another day on her calendar. One more day had passed, and with four days left, Sakura felt hopes of getting her voice back being dashed. No one in their right mind would fall in love with just any other stranger within a week, let alone someone who couldn't even talk.
Moreover, Sakura was accused of *stealing*, and that doesn't really put her on top of the 'favorites' list.
Pushing all worrying thoughts aside, Sakura took out the forest green sweater that she was working on. Syaoran's birthday was tomorrow and Sakura still had the buttons to sew.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, interrupting Sakura's thoughts. Sakura opened the door, but was surprised to find no one there. Looking around, Sakura saw a note affixed to the door.
'Meet me by the beach at noon.
-Syaoran'
Sakura stared blankly at the note, and flipped over several times, but no other details were written on it. She looked up at the clock, checking the time. '11. 50,' her eyes opened wide as she hurriedly grabbed her shoes and rushed out.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Meanwhile, Ostala was watching the whole scene with satisfaction. Minx and Jinx had distracted the stupid guard on duty, while she had put a spell on herself to make her look exactly like Princess Annabelle.
She watched with satisfaction as Sakura rushed past her, probably in hopes of Syaoran actually wanting to talk to her. Oh, boy. She was really going to enjoy watching this scene unfold before her.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Syaoran looked around, as he looked at the note again. Sakura had asked him to meet her by the beach at noon, but so far, she had not arrived.
Just then, Princess Annabelle came rushing towards Syaoran, crying hysterically. "
Syaoran's jaw dropped in surprise and Princess Annabelle came rushing into his arms.
"Oh, my prince. You don't know how *awful* life had been. All the other princesses are so mean, and are willing to do anything just to have one minute with you. You should have seen that Princess Sakura's face… she keep looking with me with such dark looks, she makes me feel so… dirty," Princess Annabelle started sobbing onto his shoulders.
Syaoran patted her awkwardly on her back, not knowing what to believe. Sakura was not a person to do such things.
But before he could do anything, Princess Annabelle started kissing him.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Sakura halted in her tracks, as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. She choked as she watched Syaoran kissing Princess Annabelle.
They seemed like a couple in love forever. She gasped, clutching on to her skirt.
Her gasp had obviously been loud, as Syaoran broke away and turned to look at her. His eyes opened wide, as he started to pull a clinging Annabelle away from him. But Sakura had seen enough. Sobbing, she turned and fled, tears cascading down her face.
So, this was what Syaoran wanted her to see, huh? Well, he got what he wanted.
It started as an innocent crush on him, but she had started to fall in love with him. Syaoran had got what he wanted. He had torn Sakura's heart into pieces.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Sakura, wait!" Syaoran shouted, as he watched Sakura fled from the scene.
"Is there anything wrong, Prince Syaoran?" Princess Annabelle asked, finally letting go of him.
"I'm just tired, I need to go back," Syaoran shook his head, pulling away from Annabelle.
"Shall I make some tea for you then?" Princess Annabelle asked, as Syaoran started to walk away.
He did not even turn back, obviously deep in thought.
Ostala turned back to herself, a smug smile on her face.
"Mission accomplished," she let out an evil chuckle.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Sakura tossed her uncompleted sweater aside, tears rolling down.
Tomoyo sat by her side, a helpless look on her face.
Sakura had written everything down on what had happened to Tomoyo. Sakura had found Tomoyo waiting outside her cottage for her, and had spilled everything out to her.
"It's not easy falling in love, and to have your heart smashed to a million pieces…," Tomoyo trailed off, a distant look on her face.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who's that?" Tomoyo called out, as she walked towards the door.
"Syaoran," came the short reply.
Tomoyo looked at Sakura, who shook her head frantically.
"I'm sorry, but Sakura does not wish to see you," Tomoyo said coolly.
"Please, just let me talk to her," Syaoran pleaded.
Frustrated, Tomoyo opened the door and stormed out, closing it behind her. Sakura could hear Tomoyo screaming at Syaoran outside.
"You princes are all alike. You think that you're all handsome and rich and all that, but you don't have a heart! And a heart is what's needed for every woman!" Tomoyo was yelling.
Sakura let out a small smile as Tomoyo continued hurling words at Syaoran.
There was silence at the other end, and Tomoyo opened the door to come in again.
"Sakura, just hear him talk. Trust me, I think Syaoran's not like any other princes. Anyone who's willing to endure the abuses thrown by me is someone worth your time," Tomoyo smiled, and before Sakura could reply, Tomoyo walked out and Syaoran came in.
Sakura quickly dried her eyes, and forced a smile onto her face. She swore she was going to get Tomoyo for this.
"Listen, what you saw really wasn't what happened," Syaoran said out in a rush looking at Sakura.
Sure, you just *happened* to kiss that snobby princess. Sakura thought inwardly. Instead, she plastered a smile onto her face and shook her head.
'It's ok. I won't tell anyone… well, except Tomoyo,' she gestured, looking away from his amber eyes.
"Really, it was Annabelle who came onto me, not the other way round. She was crying, and I was just patting her on her back," Syaoran babbled on.
Don't cry! Sakura ordered herself. She looked back up at him and smiled. 'Ok, sure. I understand,' she nodded her head.
"Sakura! Stop that!" Syaoran grabbed her by the shoulders and gave her a little shake. "Look at me!" he ordered.
Surprised by his tone of voice, Sakura looked up.
"You're making me confused, ok? This wasn't supposed to happen. I was just supposed to pick any one princess and marry her. In fact I picked straws to determine the 20 princesses I chose yesterday…," Syaoran trailed off.
'WHAT,' Sakura's eyes flew open at those words.
"Yah, I did that… all except yours. You were the only one I wanted there," Syaoran sighed, letting go off Sakura.
Sakura stared back at him, not really believing what she heard.
"Like I said, this wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't suppose to like someone this much. I wasn't supposed to feel defensive when you were being accused. I wasn't supposed to feel sad when you cried. I wasn't suppose to argue with my mother for putting your name down!" Syaoran continued pacing around the room.
He had seen her cry? He had argued on her behalf? Sakura sat in a daze, looking at him.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you my secrets. I wasn't supposed to go after you like I did. I wasn't---," Syaoran's words were cut off as Sakura walked towards him, and planted a kiss on him.
Sakura felt her heart pounding against her chest. She had never felt anything like this before. His lips were so soft, and his arms felt so strong as she leaned against him.
Suddenly, Syaoran pulled back. "Oh, god," he muttered.
"That wasn't supposed to happen," he seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Sakura tried to reach out to him, but h jerked away.
"I need to go now," he said quietly, as he marched off, leaving a confused Sakura staring after him.
