FANTASY DREAMS
AN: THANX FOR THE REVIEWS!! I love getting reviews!! Keep them coming, well anyway, here is chapter 5, enjoy!
Chapter 5
Everyone around her was acting hectic, she was walking slowly though the kingdom, making her way to the castle. But she couldn't help to notice that the hole kingdom was acting crazy, she had no idea what all the mess was about, so she decided to go to the pub and find out.
Sakura entered the crowded pub, everyone looked really drunk… and happy. She walked over to the bar and waited till the bartender saw her.
"Hey Sakura!" He greeted her with a big smile "I haven't seen you in a while! What can I give you?"
"Actually, I wondered if you knew why everyone is acting so crazy" She sat down on a chair and rested her arms on the bar.
"Ohh that's easy, Meiling just arrived. Prince Syaoran went to receive her, they are like the most famous couple in the hidden kingdoms, so everyone is exited to see them together" Sakura's surprise was evident, but she had to hide it so no one would notice what she was thinking
"Ohh I see… and why does everyone love them so much? I mean, I don't really think the prince likes her that much" She was right, Syaoran didn't like her, but she wasn't sure everyone else knew that little fact
"Well, rumour is that the prince wants to break the engagement, but I don't think it's true. They are a famous couple because they have been engaged since forever! And princess Meiling has always loved the prince so much, I tell you it's not every day that you see that kind of love… coming from a girl that is" He smiled at Sakura and then looked around "Well I have to get to work Sakura, but come some time!! We miss having you around here" the bartender left and Sakura was left alone, thinking about everything that was going on.
The sun was starting to disappear behind the mountains. Sakura was sitting down on a park, she didn't want to go back to the castle, she didn't want to see Syaoran acting in love with some other girl. She wanted Syaoran to be hers.
When the people walked past her she listened to them talking about a dance, in Meiling's honour. It was going to be in two days, so everyone was looking for their dresses and gowns to wear at the party. Her annoyance grew even more. It was enough to have to listen to every single person talking about what a great couple they made, and now have to go to a dance, she wasn't going to go, she couldn't bare it.
Syaoran was sitting on the dinner table, looking as bored as possible. Meiling, who was sitting next to him was talking eagerly with his mother about how thing were back in her kingdom. She was so chatty that Syaoran felt like grabbing the first heavy thing he saw and throw it at her face to see if he could made her shut up.
"Well Meiling, here things haven't been so exiting" His mother said continuing the conversation "The most excitement we've had in a long time is Syaoran finding a girl on the riverside, she was brought in and now she lives in the castle"
"Really?" Meiling's voice sounded really impressed. She looked over at Syaoran with big eyes and then looked back at Yelan "And I suppose she is living like a servant or something, it's not common to allow a person in the castle just like that"
"Oh no, Syaoran here wouldn't let her be a servant, she is a princess, from one of the kingdom's that were destroyed some time ago" Meiling's eyes just kept getting wider with amazement, and Syaoran just kept getting smaller on his chair "He demanded that this girl was given a royal room, and he trained her to be an enchantress and a soldier"
"An enchantress?" Meiling sounded so confused that it actually made Syaoran laugh but he had to hide his laughter "And a soldier, and how did that go? Not so well I suppose, being a princess I mean, we princesses aren't good at those things"
"She is actually the best sword fighter we have" Syaoran started talking "And one of the best enchantresses, she is really good" He had a wicked smile on his face, he knew this would bother Meiling.
"Ohh… so who trains her? Naraku I assume?" Meiling knew about Naraku, and believed just like Yelan that he was a great fighter
"No, I trained her on the sword technique, and Eriol on the magic, I have to say I've never seen such a gifted person" He kept adulating Sakura, and he saw how the anger started growing on Meiling's eyes.
"I think I have to meet this… girl" Now it was Syaoran the one surprised. Why would Meiling want to meet Sakura "if you are so fond of her then I should meet her" she sounded so confident about herself, that Syaoran just nodded and finished eating his meal without saying a word.
Two days had gone by, and Syaoran found it impossible to see Sakura. Every time he went to her room she wasn't there, and he had to spend most of the day with Meiling, pretending he liked her. On the other hand Meiling kept asking him about Sakura, she really wanted to meet her, apparently she heard some stories about Syaoran and Sakura, but wouldn't tell Syaoran what she heard.
That day Syaoran and Meiling were taking a walk through the forest, Meiling was talking and talking about something Syaoran couldn't care less. He kept thinking about Sakura, probably she heard some rumours and got upset with him, he had to find her, but with Meiling there it was a little hard.
They were riding their horses near the waterfall when Meiling got all startled, saying she heard someone on the bushes, they rode to the bushed that hid the waterfall and there they saw Sakura sitting down on the grass, reading a book.
Syaoran's surprise wasn't well hidden and Meiling stared at the girl.
"Excuse me?" She said rising her voice so Sakura could listen to her. Sakura got all startled cause she didn't hear them. Her eyes were going from Meiling to Syaoran and back to Meiling "Excuse me? How are you?" Meiling went on, speaking with a superior tone of voice. Sakura stood up and vowed to them, she looked at Meiling with a grim expression.
"My name is Sakura my lady" She said strongly "I live at the castle, I had no idea you were going to come here, if I had known then I wouldn't have come" She looked at Syaoran and glared "Believe me" she looked back at Meiling waiting for a reply.
"So YOU are Sakura" Meiling said with a demeaning tone of voice "I have heard a lot about you, it seems my dear Syaoran has a high appreciation fro you" The anger and hatred were clear in her eyes. Sakura looked at Syaoran amazed and then looked back at Meiling "I wanted to meet you but Syaoran kept saying he couldn't find you"
"That's true my lady" Sakura started "I haven't been around lately"
"What have you been doing? I understand that you have no job here, you were an apprentice on the sword skills and sorcery but you finished" The degrading tone of voice just kept getting worse and worse
"I have been practicing my sorcery your highness" Meiling got off the horse and started walking to Sakura, to take a closer look. Her eyes wondered all through her, inspecting her old dress and messy hair. Syaoran got off his horse and followed Meiling.
"I would like to have a private conversation with you" Meiling said with determination to Sakura "I don't know what Syaoran sees in you, you are nothing but a messy little girl!" She looked at Syaoran, like waiting for him to say something.
"I don't see nothing in her Meiling" Syaoran said softly "I told you those were rumours, you shouldn't believe all you listen" He turned around and got on his horse again "We should go Meiling" Meiling followed him and got on his horse, before she left she looked at Sakura.
"I will send a servant to get you for our meeting" She turned around and left. Sakura was left standing there alone. She closed her eyes and stumbled to the ground. A silent tear falling from her eye.
