Chapter 3

Sayoran was laying on his bed, he was tired, after the training he took a bath and now all he wanted to do was sleep. He hadn't seen Sakura the rest of the day, when he returned form training, he went over to her room but he didn't find her there, she was probably out looking around so he didn't bother to look for her, she was probably with Tomoyo, she was a cool girl, Eriol was dating her, they were like the perfect couple.

He was about to fall asleep when he heard some laughter. He stood up and walked over to the door, and when he opened it he saw Tomoyo and Sakura entering her room. He was going to close the door when Tomoyo spotted him.

"Sayoran! You are awaken, I thought you were going to be sleeping, you know after the hard training!"
"Yeah well I wasn't" he said seriously.

"Well we are going to go to Sakura's room, care to join us?" Tomoyo told him "You look like you could use some fun, or some girl company" she said slightly smiling, she saw the way he was looking at Sakura.

"No, I want to sleep, see you tomorrow Sakura, you'll have training with me"
"Wait isn't Naraku the one supposed to sword train?" Tomoyo interrupted

"Yeah, but I'll train her at first, and maybe we'll go to Eriol's, he is going to help you with the magic"

Sakura nodded and slightly smiled at him, she was still afraid of him, regardless of all the things Tomoyo told her about him. Sayoran left the two girls that went to Sakura's room and stayed up talking about everything.

The next morning Sayoran entered her room and woke her up very early, they were going to train, he gave her some clothes to train in and they left to the plaza. They spent most of the morning training, she actually did have some experience so it wasn't that boring for Sayoran, they had some nice fights. Then they each went their separate ways to take a shower and they were supposed to have lunch with his mother, which he didn't want to do, but when he found out Sakura had already met his mother he agreed. And after lunch they went over to Eriol's place so Sakura could start with her magic. Sayoran decided to take a walk while Sakura and Eriol made some magic, so he went to his favorite spot in the forest. He took off his shoes and got his feet on the cold river water. He laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. Then he remembered the day before, when he saw Sakura there, she was really beautiful, but he couldn't allow himself to think that about her, he was engaged to Meiling, and there was nothing he could do about it, besides Sakura didn't show much of an interest on him.

Eriol and Sakura were working on some potions when Eriol decided to ask her how everything was going with her life

"Great!" she said happily "They treat me really nice at the castle, the place is really beautiful, yesterday I met this girl who will make some dresses for me"
"Tomoyo?" he interrupted, Sakura nodded "She is really something isn't she?"
"Well she is really nice, how do you now her?"
"She is like my girlfriend, we've been going out ever since she showed up here"

"That's so sweet!!!" Sakura said joyfully, which made Eriol laugh

"And how's Sayoran treating you?"

"Ok I guess, he doesn't talk that much, and he is very serious around me, I think he doesn't like me. Today we trained all the morning, but it was like just training, I'm used to train having fun, I don't now, I guess he just doesn't like me"
"Give him some time, id he didn't liked you he wouldn't be helping you this much, he just has a lot of things on his mind right now. But don't worry, just try to ignore him and have fun without him! You met Tomoyo, he know absolutely everyone and every cool place at the kingdom, she could take you to a pub, maybe there you could meet someone"

"That would be really great!" Eriol smiled at her and kept on with the class. After a while Sayoran returned and told them that in a little while they were leaving so Eriol decided to stop the class and have something to eat with them.

Sakura wasn't hungry so she went outside

"She is a really sweet girl Sayoran" Eriol said

"What do you mean?"
"I mean she is sweet, you'd better treat her well, because judging by her personality if she doesn't like it here, she is going to bail, and I know you wouldn't have the strength to hunt her down"

"We'll see, she's ok, a really good fighter and"
"She's alone here Sayoran, she needs a friend, not a master" Eriol interrupted

Sakura entered and both guys looked at her

"Am I interrupting something?" she asked

"No, we are leaving now" Sayoran stood up and left. Sakura said goodbye to Eriol and followed Sayoran.

Sakura entered her room and found Tomoyo on her room, lot's of dresses everywhere, the place looked like a mess.

"Hey Sakura! I made you some dresses!"

"Wow that was really fast!"

"Yeah well I had some almost done, come on, try them on!!" After like two hours of trying on dresses, Sakura was exhausted and wanted to sleep, but didn't now how to tell Tomoyo to leave

"Hey Sakura I am going out with some friends tonight, we are going to this pub, everyone goes there, it's really cool, you can come if you want" She was really tired but decided she was going to follow Eriol's advice and start meeting people. So she got ready and went with Tomoyo.

The pub was a very pretty place, tables everywhere there was a bar where some guys were sitting, drinking. Sakura followed Tomoyo to a table where she saw a group of girls, they were introduced and they started talking. After a while Tomoyo was telling a story about something stupid Eriol had done when she was interrupted by a man placing his beer jar on their table

"Hello girls how's everything going?" Naraku said taking a sit next to Sakura and eyeing her

"Hey Naraku, I didn't expect to see you here" one of the girls said

"Yeah well, I decided to rake some air and I ended up in here, I see we have a new member of the clan" he said looking at Sakura "A pleasure, my name is Naraku, I am the head official of the army here"
"Ohh so you are the famous sword master" Sakura said smiling at him "My name's Sakura" Naraku took her hand and softly kissed it

"I'm glad to find out you've heard of me"

"Well you appear to be very known here" she said looking at the girls who laughed

"So tell me Sakura, how did you end up in this kingdom?" Sakura stood silent for a second and decided it was better not to say anything about her kingdom or the war

"I was on a boat and we were attacked, only I survived and I ended up on the shore, Sayoran found me and brought me in"
"He must like you, if he let's you call him Sayoran, and I see he's given you one of the castle rooms, you are lucky, he is not a very nice person, but you have to recognize that he can do some things right"

"He is a nice person!" Tomoyo interrupted "You just don't like him because he is prepotent when he is near you"
"You think that means he is jealous of me?"

"Well he was like the best looking guy on the whole kingdom before you came, maybe he is a little jealous" added one of the girls

"Yeah it must be tough to have all the girls fall for someone else than him, well, I still don't like him, but what are we going to do"

The rest of the night the spent it talking and having fun. When it was late Sakura said she was tired and she was going to leave, and Naraku offered to walk her to her chambers, so they left together.

"You think they are going to do something?" one of the girls asked when they left

"I don't think so, her chambers are next to prince Sayoran's and I have the feeling he is not her type" Tomoyo said staring at them as they left "Besides they've just met, Naraku is a player but he likes to have fun in the flirting don't you agree with me?"

Sakura and Naraku where walking towards the castle, she was telling him about her training with Sayoran and with Eriol, he was really impressed she could deal with both things, it wasn't common for a girl to be good at both

"I guess I'm just great!" she said mockingly

"Well I happen to think you a great girl Sakura, you know if you want you can tell Sayoran I will train with you, that way you won't have to spend so much time with him"
"I really don't mind, he is a little scary, but he is nice to me" she said softly

"Well whenever you want you now, I am around"

They almost reaching the terrace that lead to her room, and Sayoran's too.

"I can go from here, don't worry" she said stopping "Thanks for coming with me"

He smiled at her, and took her hand "You're welcome" he said kissing her hand "See you around I guess"

"Yeah" this said Naraku left and Sakura walked to her room, when she was about to reach her door, she noticed Sayoran's door was opened, she quietly approached it and saw Sayoran inside, wearing no shirt and walking around. She was going to go to her room when he saw her

"Sakura!" he said, she stopped and looked at him "Where were you?" he asked seriously

"I... was with Tomoyo, at a pub" she said staring at him, looking at his perfectly formed abs, and his strong arms "I'm sorry wasn't I allowed to go out?"

"No, I mean, you can go out, I just... never mind, you came back alone?" he asked moving towards the door

"Naraku walked me here"

"NARAKU?!" his reaction startled her

"Yeah, he offered and..."
"Don't you ever talk to him again do you listen!" he ordered her. Sakura felt he had no saying in this matter, he couldn't tell her who to talk to

"I think that if I want to I'll talk to him, he hasn't made anything wrong to me, it's not my fault you hate him, he is really nice to me so if I want I'll keep talking to him!!!" she answered back staring to get annoyed "It's enough that you don't let me leave this place, now you have to tell me who I can talk to, It's just too much Sayoran!"
"Don't you talk to me that way!" he yelled at her "You owe me your life! And if I say you can't talk to him you won't talk to him!"
"NO YOU DON'T!" she turned around and walked over to her room, slamming the door behind her. Sayoran did the same thing and slammed his door.

Sakura took off her dress and changed to a night gown, she was really upset, she couldn't believe Sayoran, only because he hated Naraku it didn't mean she had to hate him too, he was really cute, and she would never do anything with him, but seeing how Sayoran reacted she was willing to start going out with Naraku, she knew she could do it and she knew Sayoran couldn't do anything about it.

Sayoran was really upset, he already hated Naraku, and now he was making a move on Sakura, he knew he shouldn't care, but he felt he had to protect her, and keeping her away from Naraku was one thing he had to do.

The next morning they both went to train, but didn't speak a word to each other, only the necessary, then she said she could go alone to Eriol's so Sayoran stayed at the kingdom while she went to Eriol's cabin. When she told Eriol what happened he was really amused by it, he couldn't stop laughing and Sakura couldn't get why, and she told Tomoyo what happened she had the same reaction. She figured out they were both really weird which made a more perfect couple.

After that day she and Sayoran stopped talking to each other, and every time they did talk was only to fight about something stupid, either that she wasn't holding the sword the correct way, or that Sayoran made too much noise in the night when he was with some girl, or that Sakura was like 5 minutes late to train, stuff like that. Every one got used to their constant fights, and actually missed the fights sometimes, they were really amusing.

Several months went by, and their lives hadn't changed that much. Eriol and Tomoyo were engaged, Sayoran was allowed to train without Naraku, and Sakura had become one of the brightest enchantress they had ever seen, she could control the elements perfectly, so Eriol decided to take the classes slowly, just like twice a week, Sayoran on the other hand never allowed her to rest, sometimes they stayed until late training. She was sure he only did it to annoy her, but she liked sword training, and they also tried other kinds of weapons, like the bow and arrow. Also Naraku kept on flirting with her, but he never really tried anything with her, but just the fact that he was always around her annoyed Sayoran and that made Naraku happy

One day Sakura arrived at the plaza, like every morning to train with Sayoran, but she couldn't find him anywhere, she was already planning on how to bother him about his tardiness, when he arrived with a face that seemed like he had just seen a dead person

"What's wrong?!" she asked getting worried

"Meiling is coming for a visit next week" he said taking a sit, on a bench "This is going to be like hell!!!"
Sakura knew about his engagement to Meiling, but no one ever talked about it, she knew he didn't want to go through with it, but there was no way to get out of it.

"I don't think it's going to be that bad, I mean, for you, the poor girl is going to be stuck with you for the rest of her life, figure out who she's feeling!"

"Don't start, or you are going to get it when we are training"
"I would like to see that!" she said taking her sword and getting into position

"You asked for it!" Sayoran stood up and took his sword.

Sakura was the first to attack, but Sayoran dodged it easily, then he attacked back. They started fighting fiercely one attack after the other. Sakura was taking the lead of the fight so Sayoran had to do something about it. He started attacking her, moving towards her so that he made her walk backwards until she reached the wall and couldn't walk any more. He was attacked, but Sakura blocked it, they were both making force, they swords were crossed in front of their faces, and they were both trying to win. Finally Sayoran made her drop her sword and smiled at her but never moving from his position, in front of her.

"See" he said placing both of his hands next to her shoulders, pinning her against the wall and not letting her go anywhere "I told you, you were going to get it" he said staring at her emerald eyes, he loved her eyes, and he loved them more when they were upset just like that instant

"You were just lucky!" she said moving her body towards him trying to push him but she only found herself closer to him

"I don't think so" he was staring at her eyes and studying every part of her face, her creamy skin, her pink soft lips, her sweet small nose, she was so beautiful

"Just wait" she said staring at his amber eyes, he was really handsome, she loved how his messy chocolate brown hair fell to his face, how he tried to look mad, but now she knew him well enough to tell that he was playing it. Then she noticed how close their faces were from each other, her heart started beating faster and she looked into his eyes. When she felt he was slowly moving towards her she decided to take action

"I still think the one I should pity is Meiling" she said pushing him softly away from her, placing her hands on his chest "Listen Sayoran I have to do something, I'll see you later" she walked away from him and left the plaza, she couldn't tell what would have happened if she had stayed. The only thing she knew was that she couldn't kiss Sayoran, she couldn't fall in love with him, he was engaged to Meiling, and there was no possible way she could have him. She decided to take those thoughts away from her mind by going to visit Tomoyo.
