Ah! First off, I wanna thank kari2500 for leaving like the nicest review! Thanks! You made my day!
The servants kept complimenting her. "Arigato, arigato," she thanked them. They led her out to the main dinning room. "The main guest of the evening," a servant said as she and many others bowed to her as she walked out to the table.
There weren't many people at the table, but many rich people managed to eat with the Emperor. Sakura didn't notice Sai until he walked over to her and asked her to follow him. She was seated next to him.
Each of them had a bowl of rice in front of them, and in the center was sushi, fruits, and many other delicate things. Sakura didn't know what to try first, seeing as it was her first time eating with royalty. She noticed everyone was eating his or her rice, so she decided to also.
Sai looked next to him and noticed Sakura looking happy. He smiled at this. Sai looked around at everyone else and when he came to the other Go tutor, a cold glare came his way. His smiled disappeared for a little bit.
Everyone else had moved on to the main dishes of the table except for Sakura. Sai leaned over to her, "Sakura-chan. Your rice bowl is only half eaten, is it too warm? Too cold?" She looked at him, "Iie, I am just filled with as much as I can eat," she smiled.
Everyone else at the table was talking. Maids and servants came to take the dishes away.
Sai gave her a dumbfounded look. "H-how can you not eat any of this exotic food?" he complained. "Simple, my stomach isn't big enough to fit my share," she said looking in his eyes.
"Well, then I'll just have to do this," he said as he picked up a piece of sushi and shoved it into her mouth. She chewed and swallowed it while Sai kept shoving food in her mouth.
Sakura could feel her stomach stretching. "Sai-sama, why are you feeding her? Can you feed me please?" a young girl asked. Sai stopped and looked at the girl. He smiled and picked up her chopsticks and picked up some sushi. "Why don't you use your chopsticks?" she asked.
"Because I don't want your germs all over them," he smiled at her, trying to give the best reason without hurting her feelings. He turned back to Sakura. Sakura smiled and blushed.
Dinner finished without any major interruptions. "Arigato, Fujiwara-sama," Sakura bowed as she got up to leave as everyone else was doing. "Sakura, wait," he said before she went too far. 'He just called me Sakura…no –chan…' she thought. She blushed and turned around. "Please come to my room," he asked. Sakura nodded her head as she followed him.
They got to Sai's room eventually. "Sakura, I have something to tell you," Sai said as he closed the door behind her. "What is it?" she asked as she looked at him. "I have bought you out of the army…so you are now mine as a slave," he said as he looked to the ground, thinking she would be furious.
Sakura was in total shock. 'He bought me…? I'm out of the army…?' she thought as tears welled up in her eyes. She ran over and hugged him. Sai was shocked at how she reacted, but comforted her all the same. He hugged her back, smoothing out her hair. Sakura looked up at him with tears flowing out of her eyes, "Arigato!" she cried. Sai smiled.
After Sakura settled down, they played a few games of Go until they were tired. Sai put the board away and settled down in his bed. Sakura soon joined him. Sai pulled her into his arms as to protect her from anything. Sakura was happier than she had ever been.
Sakura woke up to the sun shining through the blinds as she covered her eyes. 'Sai-sama…thank you,' she thought as she cried a tear remembering last night.
Please leave a nice review! Love ya!
