Part 10

Sakura continued down following Neishko down the stone steps. There was nothing down in the pool except a beautifully decorated wooden table filled with a huge bowl of fresh fruit. Sakura looked at the food with hungry eyes.
Sakura sure wasn't getting enough to eat. The 'leftovers' Fongling and her daughters leave her wasn't much.
"Sakura.you must be hungry! Why don't you eat something" Neishko offered while taking a seat at the table.
"Can I really?" Sakura asked back with eagerness in her voice.
"Of course!"
Sakura ran to the table and picked up an apple and started eating it.
"Sit down Sakura" Neishko said.
Sakura sat down and they started to talk.
Prince Syaoran slid down into a little room and he climbed up the stairs where there was a trap door on the top. He pushed it open and then climbed out into the center of his private maze. This maze was built especially for him on his seventh birthday. The maze walls were built of bushes.
Syaoran climbed out and breathed in a breath of fresh air. Wow. So refreshing! Syaoran thought to himself. Then he walked towards the bench beside his private pond (that's in the center of his maze) and sat down.
Then he stood up and picked up a red rose from the rose bush beside him. One day, I might find someone to give this to Syaoran thought. Then he started ripping up the rose petals and throwing each petal into the water. Prince Syaoran looked down into the pond at the beautiful petals on the water. That is.until he noticed something.
"What is that?" Prince Syaoran said to himself.
It looked like there was an image in the water. Syaoran got up and walked closer. Then he gasped in awe. The image in the water revealed a beautiful young girl eating an apple with a woman that looked like her mother. Then suddenly like it appeared, it disappeared.
Syaoran looked at the water in dismay wishing it would show more of that pretty girl, but the water showed no more.
Sakura was back in her room. She had left that wonderful place and had returned home. Sakura walked beside the wooden drawer that had concealed the painting and tried to push it back. Sakura pushed with all her might but could still not so she used her weight and tried to push it again with her back against the drawer. Sakura was successful, but not before she fell onto the floor again.
"Sakura!! Time to make dinner! We're hungry!" Fongling called from downstairs.
"Yes! Coming!" Sakura answered feeling happy about her new secret.
"You can clean up the fireplace and the chimney while you wait for YOUR dinner, in other words, our leftovers" Fongling stated calmly.
Sakura answered and left the kitchen. Sakura spent a good couple of hours cleaning the chimney and fireplace first starting with the chimney and cleaning down into the fireplace. After Sakura finished cleaning, she was full of soot from the chimney.
When Sakura entered the kitchen to eat dinner, her stepmother and stepsisters burst out laughing. Sakura looked in confusion and coughed. Fongling and her daughters laughed out more.
"Haha! Look at Sakura, with all the cinder and soot on her!" Feiling laughed.
"Don't you think I know that!?" Meiling snapped at her sister.
"Let's call her Sooty Sakura now!"
"No! Call her Cinder Sakura!"
"Yah! But Cinderka!"
"Shut up! You don't know anything! Let's call her Cinderkura!" Meiling argued.
"Yah! I guess so! That's quite a good name!"
Fongling laughed along with her daughters. Sakura looked down and noticed that her body was full of cinders and soot. Sakura quickly picked up her food from the table and ran to her room. After eating, Sakura went up to her room.
That night, she flew to Tomoyo's when the whole house was asleep.
"Sakura, come in!" Tomoyo greeted.
"Thanks Tomoyo, you won't believe what happened to me today!" And Sakura plunged into the events of the day.
"Wow! That's sounds amazing! I want to come with you next time and video tape it!"
"Sure!"
"But how am I going to get to your house?! Fongling is like there 24/7"
"I don't know, but I am going back there again" Sakura smiled determinedly.
Aiii, so what do you peeps think? I don't' know how much longer this fic is going on for.maybe three or four more chapters before the ball.*sulks* lol. Also, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who reviewed this fic. So, like it, hate it? Let me know. I'd like to hear from you all!
