A/N- Wow! Thank you everyone for reviewing! Dang, I got so much review for the last chapter. I hope you guys don't let me down on this one, but I may let some of you down.

I know that 'the prince marrying a servant is illegal' but I have a few things up my sleeve. Also I now know what 'aS iS gRaBe TaLaGa AnG gAnDa' mean and thanks for telling me: Black-Fire-Dragon-15 & lilac-cherryblossoms-sakura.

Um, I am planning to write more but I'm not planning to exceed over twenty chapters. Who knows, I might shorten it more. I'm just giving people heads up about that. I wish I can thank each one of you reviewers with separates comments but I'm tired and I'm writing this chapter really late right now.

Chapter 14- Sakura's Gone

In the Forest

Sounds of sword thrashing were heard above her as she fell down the narrow hole.

" Syaoran!" She cried softly. Smack. She had hit her head against arock. Moments later, she woke up feeling immense pain and sudden dizziness. Sakura slowly brought her hand up to the back of her head and felt a flow of sticky warm liquid. Blood. She looked around her and saw that she was in another part of the forest. She cried quietly and saw a tall figure making way towards her. She didn't know what went wrong with her but she opened her arms and accepted her savior.

" Are you okay?" The boy whispered but she couldn't reply back because she had already blacked out from her draining life.

Touya looked at the girl. He went up to her when he saw those pair of emerald eyes. Then he saw that she was hurt. He must take her home no matter what, even if it's breaking the law by bringing ina stranger to the Kinomoto Kingdom.


Kinomoto Hidden Kingdom

One day later…

Birds were chirping outside the window and the sun shone brightly into a room.

White curtains...they surround the room...they compliment the window frames and...they waver in the light breeze bringing in a quiet stillness to the large room. The walls were tinted pink all around with a design of cherry blossoms. It was as if this room once belonged to a little girl but now someone else occupies it. There were old dolls sitting upright on a white dresser outline in dark pink. They were quite worn out for they've never been touch by a child's hand for a long time. One doll that stood out the most was a small, bright yellow bear-like stuff-animal. Its beady eyes had collected dust as for the rest of its body but it's still in good condition nonetheless.

Sakura quaver on the king size mattress, waking up to gasp for air. Sweat drenched herhair to her face and the sheets to her skinand it felt like someone was drilling holes in her head. She put her hand up to the back of her head and found wrappings instead of hair. She studied her environment and put a finger towards her lips, her face void of any emotion. She was confused.

' Where am I?'

' Who am I?'

She heard the creaking of the doorindicating that someone is coming inside. She quickly snapped her head in that direction, only stopping when pain moved throughout her head.

" Arg…"

An older boy enters. He seems to be at least eight years older than her. He is twenty-three and has dark brown hair, styled messily on his head, and concerned chocolate brown eyes. He has broad shoulders with a lean built and he stand to about six feet tall.

He looked at her and smiled.

" Oh Miss, I see you have awoken." He said kindly.

Having lost my faith

Because of the times,

I've lived all these years

Clinging to my own existence

Sakura nodded not saying anything.

" You sure hit your head pretty hard back there in the forest. Thank god I found you just in time."

" What happen back there, like, when I hit my head?" Sakura asked. She looked around, admiring objects she sees.

" You mean you don't remember? I was going to ask you," the boy replied. " What's your name anyway?"

Now let's stand up together.

Fight to win yourself.

" I-I don't remember..." Sakura scrunched up her face. " I can't remember anything."

" You know...you look like someone I once knew before?" The boy said. He looked at her teary green eyes and auburn hair. " You look very familiar. You have my mother's green eyes. Perhaps, maybe..."

Sakura looked up with a plain expression. " Huh?"

" If it's true…" He said to himself.

" What?" She asked while feeling the bandages wrapped around her forehead.

" Sakura?"

" I don't know." She whispered. She looked away and eyed the small table. There on the small table was a glassy vase. It contains white and pink roses and onthe petals were water droplets.

" Are you Sakura Kinomoto?" The boy asked urgently. He wanted to know who she was. Hekind of hadan idea who she was back there in the forest but he wanted to make sure.

" Ki-Kino-Kinomoto-" She stammered and thought for a moment, " I guess it sounds a bit familiar. Kinomoto…"

No matter how far apart we are,

We're still under the same sky.

Don't forget that we're both

Traveling to the place

We once dreamt of.

" You have to be my long lost sister! No one has green eyes like yours. You have the eyes of the royal. You are a Kinomoto!"

" Can you please lower your tone?" Sakura cried. " I have a headache right now."

" I'm sorry." The boy gazed at the girl. ' Is she a Sakura look a like.' He thought.

" I haven't introduced myself, did I?" The boy scratched the top of his head, " My name is Touya Kinomoto and you're in the hidden Kinomoto Castle. I took you here because I thought you were my sister and I guess I was wrong."

" T-Touya? My long lost older brother?" Sakura stammered.

" You remember?"

Both the sadness and happiness,

And the hope at the end of pain

She nodded.

" What happen to you those ten years ago? Did someone kidnap you? Did you live a bad life?" Touya asked worriedly.

" At that time...I wandered off...more like ran away from home after you told me that no one loves me. In a small village, a family found me. I think they were the Yamazaki family and they took me in as if I were their own child. I remember this boy's name…um, Takashi. He would always tell me these stories," Sakura giggled, " but now, I realize they were all lies and I now know that he's not my real brother. I thought you guys abandoned me and I was only five back then, I couldn't have possibly understand any better and...Well, I grew to love my false family and I guess I forgot about my true family."


Flashback...

" Touya told me that mommy and daddy don't love meeh anymore…" Sakura cried softly. She got her little bag and stuffed everything she needed inside so she can begin to run away. She got Kero and tried stuffing him in the bag.

" Kero, you don't fit. I guess you have to stay here but I promise that I'll come back and save you." Sakura whispered.

She dragged her heavy bag all the way downstairs to the back of the castle which was the kitchen. She jumped for the doorknob and finally grabbed hold of it. She turned it and it opened.

" Goodbye everyone."

She had been walking for what seem like hours until she came into a forest that smelt of dead corpse.

" This place is scary…" Sakura cried, " Maybe I should go back home."

Suddenly, a bear jumped from nowhere and started chasing Sakura.

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…" Sakura screamed. She dropped her bag and ran as fast as she could. She jumped into an abandoned boat and hugged herself as she slowly fell asleep.

The Next Day…

The boat was rocking. Sakura woke up and a little boy was staring at her. He smiled.

" No, she's not dead!" He yelled to Chiharu.

" So if I come up to her, I won't catch any diseases?" Chiharu whispered.

" No, you only catch diseases if the person is dead!" Takashi said in an annoyed tone. He looked to Sakura who looked absolutely frightened.

" Hiya! My name is Takashi Yamazaki!" He grinned, " and that chicken over there is Chiharu Mihara. Did you know that babies were hatched from eggs?"

" M-my name is Sakura Kinomoto."

" Hmmm…you're not from around here, are you?" Takashi said. He took out his hand and Sakura grabbed it and he pulled her out from the boat.

" Do you have a family?"

Sakura solemnly shook her head.

" If you don't, you can stay with me. My family always wanted a daughter and I always wanted a little sister." He smiled big, showing a couple of missing teeth, probably got knocked out when he told them lies.

" Takashi, you promise you'll tell me where ink comes from." Chiharu groaned.

" Octopus, okay!" He groaned. Chiharu pushed Takashi aside and walked towards Sakura. " So how did you get here?" She whispered.

" I was in that boat," Sakura pointed, " and I guess it rowed me all the way to this village."

Five years later…

" Takashi! You cannot walk on water!" Sakura yelled, trailing water droplets on the ground.

" Sakura. Sakura. I told you to believe, if you don't believe hard enough, then you'll fall into the water."

" Have you stood on water before?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

" Of course I have."

Sakura narrowed her eyes.

" Then do it right now."

" Sorry I can't right now, maybe some time later. I have to meet Chiharu in the market. Got to go!" Takashi zoomed out of his room and outside the house.

" Liar…" Sakura muttered.

End Flashback…


" What happened next? Did you stay with them and they threw you out into the forest because they can't support you anymore?"

" No, I remember I left the Yamazaki family long ago to pursue my own life after they told me that I wasn't really their real-blooded family. So I became a servant to many different households."

" Really, so maybe someone from any of those households did this to you? Which household did you serve recently?"

" I'm sorry but that's all I can remember, Touya."

" Oh Sakura, I feel so bad. If I haven't taunt you when we were younger, you probably wouldn't have ran away or wander off somewhere. I'm so sorry." Touya whispered as he gently grabbed Sakura's wrist and pull her into a heart-felt hug. " I'm sure your life would become better now that you're home. You will never work like a lower class ever again and I promise that I will find that cruel person that tried to kill you in such cold ways."

Sakura slowly nodded.

No matter how far apart we are,

We're always together.

Remember that even when you feel

Crushed by the weight of the world,

There's someone out there who loves

" May I see father and mother?" Sakura asked. " I still remember them and miss them dearly. They were so good to me and I probably made them sad. Do you think they remember me?"

" Well, father doesn't know you're here but of course, he miss you so much. He never stops talking about you and...mother..." Touya frowned, " She died a couple of years later of depression after hearing of your disappearance. You were always her little cherry blossom and I always got jealous of all the attention you got! I am mature now…" Touya inwardly sigh.

" Kaiju..."

Sakura glared at him and her features slowly flushed and her mouth narrowed. " I am not a kaijuuu!!!" She cried as she pushes Touya away.

" Ah, so you really are Sakura! I was just testing." He smirk, " Well, I have to get going now. Please stay in your room until I come back. I will bring up your lunch soon."

Sakura absentmindedly waved as she watched his disappearing form.

" So I hit my head and forgot whatever happened to me and I ended up remembering my true family, how strange...At least I'm reunited with them." Sakura whispered. " And...my mother is gone?" She softly cried. " If only you're still alive today, you would see me here right now. I'm sorry mother…that I ran away." Sakura whispered to herself. " I remember the last words you spoke to metwo daysbefore I fleeted, ' Do whatever makes you happy and I'll always be proud of that', but you weren't proud when I ran away, did you?" Sakura wiped away her tears and walked up to her dresser. " Because you died when I fleeted."

She looked at each doll up close and a yellow creature caught her attention.

Things aren't random,

Maybe everything is

Inevitable

" Kero..."

She smiled and pressed on its' nose. She started playing on its ears until she got bored. She put the stuff-animal back on the shelf and went over to the bed and sat down.

" I can't remember how I hit my head. Perhaps, the pressure of hitting my head, made me forget my recent memories." Sakura whispered. She lay on the bed, absentmindedly, fingering her hairpiece that remained attached to her auburn hair, just feeling away the design and texture.


One hour later...

Touya opens the door and walks into the room holding a tray.

" Hey little kaiju, I brought you a bowl of noodle and a drink…apple cider. Eat well now." He said and smiled.

" Yum! This is very good." Sakura said as she slurped up her bowl of noodles. Touya stood there with a disgusted face.

" My god, where is your manner? 'Sigh' you have a long run to actually become a true princess again."

" …"

After she finished, she wiped her mouth and hands with a cloth and looked up at Touya.

" Can I meet father now?"

Touya nodded, " Follow me, young sister." He stepped out of the room and started walking fast.

" What's up with the speed walking, Touya? I can't catch up."

" Always the weak little Sakura." Touya teased and stopped.

" Do be quiet now...

" Enter." Touya said as he turned around and walked away.

" Aren't you going to come inside with me?" Sakura stressed.

" No..."

" What?" Sakura said in disbelief.

" Ah, don't worry over nothing. He is your father and I' m sure he remembers you after all this time. Besides, I already explained everything to him." Touya said as he turned a corner.

Sakura inwardly sigh and enters the room. King Fujitaka had his back to Sakura while sitting on a cushion seat. He doesn't seem to notice that his daughter had entered his Throne Room.

" F-father?" Sakura said as she broke the silence.

The King turned around and his eyes grew large in shock.

" Who are you?"

' What, Touya lied to me?!' Sakura mentally yelled.

" I-I...I-I...I am Sakura, Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura stammered.

Fujitaka opened his mouth to object but then he studied the girl's features, looking hard at her soft emerald eyes, and familiar facial structures.

" Sakura." He breathed and a bright smile reached his face. " You've returned!!!" He cried. " You've finally come back, after all this hardship of searching for you and praying that you're still alive! But how did you get home?"

" Touya found me."

" We shall have a ceremony! A ceremony of your return!" Fujitaka exclaimed.

" Father, it is quite okay." Sakura waved.

" No! You deserve the best. After all, you are the long lost princess!" Fujitaka stated and paused.

" After all, you are my beloved daughter. I-I miss you so much." His tears threatened to spill but on Sakura's face, they were already streaming.

" I miss you too, father." She ran to him and put her arms around his heavy cloak.

" What happened to your head?"

" Long story…


Syaoran wearily walked backed to the Li Kingdom. He had his sack over his shoulders and his sword clasped to his side. He limped his way home. He was unsatisfied. His eyes were tired and bloodshot. He was dirty but most of all, he was sad. Sakura's gone. Syaoran was at the gates of the castle. He enters and fell on the stairs.

" H-Home…" He stuttered and let his head lean over the cold surface of the stairs. Two hands quickly grab him gently.

" Somebody help! Syaoran is injured!" Fuutie cried. Other hands came over Syaoran and they were of Xiefa, Femei, and Fanran. Syaoran gazed up at their worried faces.

" D-Don't worry sisters, I am okay."

' Why are my sisters here?' was what he thought before passing out.

No matter how far apart we are,

We're still under the same sky.

Don't forget that we're both

Traveling to the place

We once dreamt of.
