Sakura went back to her hut and put her things back. She tightened her robe and went to the palace.
Sai was pondering. She really wasn't like any girl he had ever seen. Unfortunately, his thinking was cut short when he remembered he was to play at the palace.
He walked back and saw Sakura entering the gates. Sai caught up to her after clearing himself with the guards. He placed his hand on her shoulder, and less than a second later, she had a knife to his throat.
"Gomen nasai, Sai-sama," she apologized.
Sai smiled, but another voice made her forget, "Mitsu! You know you're supposed to respect your elders!"
They both looked and saw the General of the Army. He was standing there with two other soldiers. "You were supposed to be here earlier. Where were you?"
Sakura looked down, "I was washing up sir," she said.
The general walked over to her and slapped her across the cheek. She staggered backwards and fell. Luckily, Sai caught her.
He helped her up and asked if she was ok. She didn't answer, but placed hand over her cheek.
The general took her other hand and dragged her into the palace.
Sai stared in disbelief. He could tell she did not want this life, but he did not know what he could do about it.
He followed them inside, but went a different direction for his destination.
Sakura changed into more relaxing clothing; more specifically, poofy rose pants, a wide sleeved shirt and the toe socks. She pulled half of her hair up and tied with a ribbon. Though it wasn't easy, she got it.
Sai waited until the Emperor's advisor came to get him. He sat there in peace and quiet, thinking about Sakura.
Sakura went out and sat in the playing court while she waited for the others to arrive. "The spring breeze feels very refreshing," Sakura said as she looked out towards the yard.
Two laughing children ran by the open side of the house. Sakura looked over and smiled.
The Emperor and Sai walked into the room where Sakura was, followed by a few other members of the army.
It was time again for Sai to give the Emperor another lesson.
