The Ocean of Dreams
Chapter Two
Sakura threw the cyan blue ball into the air, hitting it with her palm.
The ball went sailing over the net and over to Tomoyo; who hit it back
over the net and Sakura tried to hit it back over, missing slightly as it
touched the sand.
"I won! You want to play again?" Tomoyo smiled. Sakura shrugged.
"Great score, Tomoyo-chan." A honey-sweet voice called out. Their tutor,
Miss Kaho Mizuki had just arrived. She came every second day around
midday to tutor the girls. Sakura loved Mizuki-sensei's tutoring;
especially when they had just recently were learning about the Coral
Forest.
"Since I am early, may I join you girls for a match." Kaho smiled, taking
off her high heeled shoes and jacket. Tomoyo waved and Kaho decided to be
on Sakura's side.
"I'll play too." Came a voice. It was Prince Touya, he walked out from
the castle's veranda and stood by Tomoyo.
"I haven't played Volley for ages. Since the person I'm waiting for
hasn't arrived yet, I'll go on your side, Tomoyo." Touya peered at
Sakura. Sakura squeezed the ball.
"Your serve, monster." Sakura slammed the ball at her brother's head,
causing him to fall backwards.
"Oh My! Prince Touya, are you alright?" Kaho called out, Sakura huffing
and puffing angrily. Touya laid sprawled on the ground, groaning.
"Sakura, you know it's just a joke. I'll be okay, play on." Touya stood
up, taking off his cloak and placed it neatly next to Kaho's chair.
The match turned into an all-out slam. Touya's team was too good for
them; he and Tomoyo were beating Kaho and Sakura by five more points.
"Great match; girls... oh, and Prince Touya." Kaho added with a smile.
Prince Touya twirled the ball on one finger.
"Thanks." he murmured.
Prince Touya soon returned back into the castle while the girls stayed
outside.
Ms. Mizuki-sensei had asked the girls to meet her at the Library with
their books. As Tomoyo and Sakura walked towards their rooms, they passed
the 'Appointment Room' where Prince Touya's desk was. The door was half
open and quiet murmuring from Prince Touya and his guest where heard.
"They've been found out. Their little trick didn't fool the embassy, Your
Highness." Sakura stopped walking, poked Tomoyo and peered inside. A man
in white with silver long hair was sitting opposite Touya.
"They've resided in Japan's Osaka. And the two have been happily
holidaying in the townhouse beside the riverine. We've been after
searching for months; and with your permission, we'd like to make
contact, sir." Said the man.
Touya gave a firm nod. "Agreed. You may assassinate the Daidouji couple
discreetly. They have betrayed Oceania, and shall be punished." Touya
frowned.
Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Sakura, did you hear that!" she hissed.
"Yue, If only father didn't die this year. I hate this job..." Touya
slammed one hand down on the table.
"Your father was a respected and lovely man. But I'm sure you'll be okay,
Touya." Yue agreed and he stood up, to reveal white wings on his back.
Sakura gasped.
"He's an Angel Guard!!" Tomoyo looked at Sakura blankly.
"A what?" They heard footsteps and cleared off.
Sakura and Tomoyo hid into another room, peering out of the door to see
'Yue' walk out into the hallway with Touya.
"An Angel, is a guardian to Oceania and most of all the royal family. I
think he's one of them. He had the wings, and the coat of one!" Sakura
exclaimed.
"Sakura-chan, did you hear what they had said, they found them; my
parents. Sakura-chan! They want to kill them!" Sakura saw that Tomoyo's
eyes where burning with anger.
"I knew they were alive. And know we've heard news of it. I must go to
them, Sakura-chan, you're coming with me aren't you?" Tomoyo turned to
her friend.
"It may seem like your parents, but what if it's some other couple with
the same last name?" Sakura pondered. Tomoyo shook her head.
"Either way, they want to kill them. We've got to stop the Angel's from
doing so. Tell Ms. Mizuki I felt ill, and turned to bed." And with that,
Tomoyo disappeared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, what a pity for dear Princess Daidouji-chan." Kaho gasped. Sakura nodded.
"Terribly sorry Miss Mizuki-sensei. Shall we continue with our studies?" Sakura placed her books down. Kaho noticed Sakura was frowning, worry written on her face.
"No, I think I'll head off for today, Ms. Kinomoto-chan. I'll come by tomorrow. Go tend to Tomoyo-chan." Mizuki smiled.
"See you."
Sakura stayed behind in the library as she heard the echo of Mizuki- sensei's high heels walk off into the distance. 'What is Tomoyo going to do? She knows we cannot reach them.' Just as she thought that, she heard her name being whispered.
"Psst! Sakura-chan... over here..." Tomoyo waved, she had used the secret passage from one of the hallways that leads to the library.
"Come! I've found out how to escape. Tonight." Tomoyo grinned. Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"What! How?!" Excitement built inside of Sakura. The two girls had longed to escape Oceania, and Tomoyo's idea was worth a try.
