Chapter 2
The next morning Eriol woke up and was surprised to see that Sakura was already up and had made breakfast for both of them. They had breakfast and started talking about nothing in special, it seemed to him that she was just trying to know him, trying to know a little bit more about this place that she had ended in.
"What will happen to me now?" she asked out of the blue
"Well, my friend will come probably a bit later, he is the one that will decide what to do with you, I'm sorry if I can't tell you nothing else princess, but I am not allowed, it is up to him to tell you everything, and besides it's his right" he said trying to avoid the question she had asked "He is a nice guy once you get to know him I swear"
Somehow that last comment he made to her freaked her out, why would he say that to her? Probably the guy wasn't so nice, probably he was going to make her his servant or something like that. She noticed that Eriol was staring weirdly at her, like if he could tell what she was thinking so she just smiled at him
"Can you tell me were I can bathe?" she had to get rid of that awkward silence and that was the only thing that popped to her mind, besides she really wanted a bath "And maybe if you have something to wear
"Sure! I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier, I can take you to a small waterfall, it's not so far away, you can bathe there, no one will see you, the water is clean and it's really refreshing" he said smiling "And I have some old clothes that could serve you, they are the old army uniform, but I think they will fit you"
"Army uniform?" she asked confused
"Ohh yeah well the kingdom has the royal guard, not longer an army, and I have one of their uniforms, it's better than nothing, when my friend comes he will probably give you normal clothes"
So Sakura went with Eriol to look for the uniform, it was a thick cloth, green, probably used for camouflage ( imagine something like the elves clothes on the lord of the rings) but it served her well for the time being. After that Eriol guided her though the forest, he made sure she looked carefully at the way so she could make her way back alone. They finally arrived to a small waterfall, hidden behind a lot of tall trees and bushes. It was surround by al kinds of flowers which made the view amazing to eye, the water was the cleanest she had ever seen, and when she touched the water with her hand she noticed that it wasn't cold at all.
"So, I'll leave you here, take your time, don't get lost going back, if you do, just come back here, if you aren't home in a while I'll come look for you ok?" Sakura nodded and smiled at him. She watched him until he disappeared in between the trees and she started to take off her clothes.
She got inside the river slowly and took a deep breath so she could get under the water to get completely wet. The water felt so nice underneath her, she really felt refreshed. She started swimming towards the waterfall and stood underneath it, feeling the water run through her body. She felt like in paradise.
Sayoran woke up early, that girl should have been awaken by then, he went to have breakfast with the rest of him family without saying a word like was his custom. His mother had recently hired a new teacher for him, to train him in his sword fighting skills along with the rest of the royal guard. He was also to train him with all the other instruments, like bow and arrow, hand to hand combat, and things like that. But when he met the guy he didn't like him at all. The guy was no more than three years older than him, and he had an irritating personality. Also he thought he could have any girl he wanted which wasn't true, that was Sayoran's skill, he wasn't gonna let some stupid new guy take away all the girls from him, not to mention, that he thought himself superior than Sayoran only because he was his trainer. He really didn't like the guy, but his mother wouldn't fire him, she insisted that it was for Sayoran's best interest, so ever since he became even colder towards his mother. He tried to spend most of the day outside the castle, in some of his friends houses or go to Eriol's that was his favourite thing to do.
"Sayoran don't forget you have to train with Naraku today, yesterday you didn't go to your training session" his mother pointed out to him
"I forgot, besides it's not like he is gonna miss me, he also has to train the royal guard, and they are a lot of guys, I am the best fighter in the kingdom, I think I don't have to go to every days training" he said to his mother coldly
"You can be the best sword fighter but you still have to train, and today you are going to make it, I don't care what you have to do"
"Whatever" he said leaving the table, he really hated that guy.
Sayoran walked over to the stabled and took his horse, he decided he was going to go to Eriol's house and see what happened to the girl.
The way to Eriol's cabin was a little bit long, but he enjoyed riding through the forest, it was peaceful and he forgot all the problems he had on the castle. He wasn't so far away from Eriol's cabin when he heard a female voice. He got off his horse and started walking silently to the place where the voice came from, it seemed to come from the waterfall, but that couldn't be because only Eriol knew about that place, it was Sayoran's favourite place in the whole forest. He stopped when he was at a distance where he could see everything on the waterfall but couldn't be seen. He stayed still for a second when he saw w young girl swimming on the river. At first he got upset, thinking that somehow other people had found his secret place, but then he looked closer at the girl. Her body was perfect, her long golden brown hair shinned at the sun fell over her, and he face looked like an angel. It didn't took him long to recognize the girl he had rescued the day before, she was even more beautiful than the day before. He decided he would go to Eriol's place and act as if he hadn't seen her there.
Sakura was walking slowly through the forest, she could already see the cabin far away, the way wasn't difficult to remember, but she was enjoying the sight, the forest was the most beautiful place she ever seen. When she was close enough to he cabin she saw a horse, and guessed the guy who found her was already there. She walked to the cabin and stopped in front of the door, she could hear the voiced within. One of them looked to be upset about something
"Can you believe her!" she heard "telling me to train with that asshole, I'm the best sword fighter in the whole kingdom!!"
"Chill out Sayoran, it can't be that bad"
Sakura, didn't now either to go in or wait longer, but suddenly the door burst open and she saw Eriol smiling at her on the other side
"Hi princess, please come in" Sakura entered and looked at Sayoran, he was very good looking his messy chocolate brown hair fell over his face, and she could tell he had a very well built body "Princess, this is my dear friend prince Sayoran, he is the one who found you"
Sakura made a small vow and smiled at him a little bit scared, his face was beautiful, but his serious stare felt like he could kill someone
"Sayoran, this is princess Sakura, from the Likan kingdom" he stared at her for some seconds
"Nice to meet you, how are you feeling?" he said with a deep voice
"Better thank you" she said shyly
"Eriol, would you mind? I guess I have to talk to her" Eriol just smiled at him
"Sure, I'll be outside" he left the cabin closing the door behind him, leaving Sakura and Sayoran alone. Suddenly she felt scared of him.
"Listen, I'm just going to tell you the truth" he said staring at her "But sit down first" Sakura sat down on a chair and looked at him, she had no idea what he was going to say but she feared it was bad news from her kingdom "You are on a hidden kingdom, the forest kingdom, one of 4 hidden kingdoms all through out the country, we have a law here, if a person arrives to the kingdom, without being invited they aren't allowed to ever leave it, it's to keep the secret, so I'm sorry to tell you that you are forbidden to ever leave this place if you want to stay alive, if you decide to run away you are going to be hunted down and killed afterwards, so I suggest you don't try to run away from here" Sayoran looked at her face, she looked surprised and also not very happy with what he just told her
"So what I am just supposed to stay here? I don't now anyone here, I have no place to live, I am a princess, I have a kingdom!! You can't keep me here against my will!"
"No one is forcing you" he said standing up and walking to her "But you'll be dead if you ever leave this place without my permission, look don't worry, at the palace there are plenty of rooms, since you are a princess I don't expect you'd want nothing less, you can live there, and I'll talk to my mom, probably she'll say you can live there if you promise to do something else"
"Something else like what?" she asked confused
"Well the last two guys that appeared in the kingdom were ordered to become soldiers, you may be ordered to become a soldier as well, or and enchantress, you now, something that could be useful for us" Sakura just nodded, this was too much information for her to process at once. "Well let's go, I have to train with this idiot my mom hired to be my master, I really hate him and I wouldn't like to spend more time with him than I need too, so let's go"
They left Eriol's cabin and started riding towards Sayoran's kingdom, Sakura didn't say anything, this guys was really weird, he was helping her but he had this attitude that made her feel he was just doing it because he had to, that her presence was bothering him.
Finally they reached to high wooden doors that were opened as they approached them, they entered a place so beautiful Sakura couldn't believe it. All the houses and the palace were built on the trees, with white wood, that seemed to have glow of it's own. There were fountains and small rivers everywhere on the ground, gardens that had flowers with every colour on them, she couldn't believe she was on such a beautiful place, but she tried to hide her amazement.
Sayoran looked at her face when they entered, he was glad she liked it, this was a pretty place, and she was going to have to live in there for the rest of her life, he knew it was hard, the same thing happened to him, only that he was born there, so didn't have much of a chance on the world.
They reached the castle and Sayoran started guiding her through a high white stairway that seemed to lead to the highest floor. When they reached it Sakura found herself on a huge terrace, it had some tables and it was beautifully decorated, it had like 4 doors and Sayoran went directly to the first one. She followed him and saw that as he opened the door it revealed a white room, it was a huge with a bed in the center with pink linings, and pink curtains, the room was neat and she loved it. It had a balcony with a table and some chairs, and form it she could see the entire kingdom, and she could spot a fountain she saw at the beginning, she thought it was beautiful.
"I hope you like this, it's your room, my room is just two doors from this, if you need anything, I'll have someone come and fix you up with some dresses, in the meant time I think in that wardrobe you must find something that fits you, they are my sister's old dresses, since she got married she left those here, they are as good as new, I think they fit you" He said starting to leave the room
"Wait!" he looked at her impatiently "Was this your sister's room?"
"No, this is like a guest room, that is now yours, listen Sakura I have to go talk to my mother and train, I'll send someone in shortly, don't worry" that said he left the room and left Sakura there. She went over to the cabinet were she found all the dresses, they were in every colour, with extremely light cloths, and weird designs that she found really amazing. She tried on some dresses and they didn't fit her, they were too big. Then she saw a pink dress, it was long and had spaguetti stripes it was really pretty and perfect for that hot day.
Having her clothes picked up she looked at a smaller cabinet on the other side of the room, she went to it and opened it carefully, inside was a little library with all sorts of books, she picked the first one she saw and went over to the balcony and started reading.
Sayoran entered his mothers room and found her talking with one of her maids, as she saw him she told the maid to leave and told Sayoran to sit down
"What's wrong?" she asked sitting down as well "If this is about your training lessons I'm sorry but"
"It's not about that" he interrupted "I found someone" this caught his mothers attention so he went on "She is a princess I found her almost dead on the side of the river, Eriol took care of her yesterday and i brought her in today, I told her everything and she is ok with it, I just wanted you to know"
"Just like that?!" his mother asked a little bit upset "You can't just bring in a girl and have her live here, I must meet her and decided what to do with her"
"I already decided, she is staying here, she can train to become a soldier, or she could train to become an enchantress either one of those is useful for us, she'll be living here, I already gave her a room"
"Why the sudden interest on this girl? You don't think you'll get out of your engagement with Meiling do you? You can have her here, but you have to marry Meiling" Sayoran was silent at this comment, he didn't bring Sakura in to get rid of Meiling, he just wanted to have her there
"I know, I'll tell her she has to choose between those two things" he said standing up "now if you'd excuse me I have to go train" he left his mothers room, and headed towards the plaza were he trained Naraku was already there and training with some other guys.
"You are late Sayoran" he pointed out
"It's your highness and I can be late if I want to" he said taking out his sword
"Yeah well it's ok, we were just staring at this amazing girl in the castle, do you now who she is? Biran was trying out his new invention, it's this thing that allows you to see things that are far away really close, and he spotted out this girl on the castle take a look" Sayoran grabbed the thing and looked the way Naraku told him to. He saw Sakura sitting on her balcony reading a book, she had changed her clothes to a pink dress that suited her perfectly.
"She's perfect isn't she?" Naraku said taking the thing and looking at her "Who is she I haven't seen her before, I would sure like to meet her"
"She's not for you" Sayoran said getting on a fighting position
"What do you mean?"
"She's a princess, I found her yesterday, she's staying here, and she is not for you, besides you are not her type"
"Sayoran I am every girls type! So what you want her for yourself, you have Meiling, don't be ridiculous! Besides when she meets me I am sure she is going to want me"
"I don't want her for my self I just happen to now she won't like you" saying this he started fighting Naraku, he was good, but not like him, he still didn't understand why his mother hired him.
Sakura was on her room when someone knocked on the door, she opened it and saw a girl with long black hair and amethyst eyes, she was wearing a lilac light dress that looked a lot like hers, and was holding on her hand a little box
"HI!!" she said cheerfully "My name is Tomoyo, I'm here to make you some dresses, Sayoran sent me" she said walking inside "I see you found some dresses, I made that one for the princess, but it didn't fit her, it' pretty isn't it?" Sakura nodded and closed the door "So your name is Sakura right? It's such a pretty name, you are so lucky to have this room, I wanted it but well, I have room, I got lost and ended up here, ever since I haven't left, not that I care really, this place is really pretty and peaceful, and the queen let me stay if I made something for them, so I started making dresses for them, it's not like I am a maid, actually I am treated like a princess, I just love making clothes, I have so many ideas for your dresses!!" Sakura started laughing at Tomoyo, she was really funny "And if you need anything just ask me, I can show you around if you want to"
"That would be great! But am I allowed to leave this room?
"Ohh yeah, don't worry about Sayoran he just looks like he is some crazy psycho, but he is really sweet once you get to now him, you are not a prisoner here, I'll show around, and by the way the queen want to meet you but don't worry about here either, she is really nice, at least nicer than Sayoran, she told me you are going to train with Sayoran and the rest, you are so lucky the master is really hot, his name is Naraku, he is not my type, but I can't deny he is hot, and she also told me you are going to become an enchantress, that's nice too, you are so lucky! I wanted to become an enchantress but I don't have the skills, so I stick up with making dresses"
"I don't know if I have the skills to become an enchantress, I know I have fighting skills, I use to train with my brother, it was so much fun"
"Yeah well, we'll see, in the mean time, let's make you some dresses!"
