Chapter Thirteen
Sakura
'That went well,' Sakura thought remembering the look the queen had given her. She brushed her soft auburn hair while glancing at the mirror, dinner had been horrible. But a smile had touched her lips. In about six days time Syaoran would become King. She saw the way his eyes had lighted up when her mother had told him.
Although technically at the moment he is considered King, he still hadn't received the crown. She sighed and placed the gold brush down, her room looked exactly like the one she used to have at Eriol's brothel. She sighed, it wasn't a coincidence, and she knew that for sure. Syaoran had probably created the room before she was supposed to arrive here two years ago.
She took another breath when knocking was heard on her door. She sighed and opened it revealing Syaoran in a white top and faded blue jeans. "Sorry about dinner," he said looking into her eyes. Sakura smiled, "It's alright, I just don't understand how come your mother hates me so much. It's like I'm so much lower than her."
Syaoran looked at her sadly, "No don't worry about it; she feels everyone is lower than her." Sakura nodded her head and sat back down on the bed, "Is there anything you need?" Syaoran smiled, "I'm going to my friend's house. Well actually it's my advisor and his wife. Would you like to join me?" Sakura thought for a second before nodding her head, she needed to get out of this house. She told Syaoran to wait for her outside as she changed into something more presentable.
She chose a light pink blouse with a light pink skirt. She stepped out and Syaoran was gaping at her, "You sure you want to wear that? It might get really cold." Sakura shrugged it off, "I have you here," was all she said. Syaoran thought about her words for a second…but he decided it wasn't important and followed her to their limo that was waiting outside.
The ride there was long since all the houses were so far apart. Sakura leaned on the chair, "How much longer?" she complained. Syaoran chuckled, "Just 5 more minutes." Sakura sighed, "Good, I mean all we've been in all day were cars and airplanes." Syaoran nodded his head in agreement, "I know, I'm starting to get jet leg." Sakura looked at him quizzically, "Now you get jet leg?" Syaoran laughed, "Well…we're here," he said deciding to change the subject.
Sakura looked out and it was a light blue house that had many windows. It was much smaller than the palace but still rather large. There were many flowers all around and the driver opened the door for her. Sakura stepped out feeling a wave of coldness touch her shoulders. She shivered when she felt something on her shoulders. She turned and was face to face with Syaoran, "I told you it would be cold," he told her cockily. Sakura looked at his smile and felt like bursting into tears but held it inside.
She smiled sweetly, "Arigato," she said. Syaoran nodded his head and reached for her hand, "Let's go inside now." He led her to the doorway and he knocked on the door softly. The door opened and a woman with short curly brown hair opened the door. She was wearing a white dress. She smiled seeing the man, "Syao's here!" she yelled out.
Sakura winced at her high pitched voice. Syaoran chuckled, "Chi, can we come in?" Chiharu looked at him weirdly, "We?" she asked. She looked beside him and noticed Sakura. She froze there, tears welling up in her eyes, "Saku…" she said unbelievably. Sakura nodded her head and stepped inside away from the chilly night air. She bowed politely, "My name's Sakura."
Chiharu nodded at her, "My name's Chiharu, and this is Takashi," she said as a man came running in wearing a formal brown suit. Sakura looked at them and smiled, she watched as Takashi placed his arm around her protectively, "I didn't know you were bringing someone," Takashi told Syaoran. Syaoran shrugged his shoulders, "I decided last minute." Takashi nodded and led them to the living room. "So how have you been since I've been gone?" Syaoran asked while sitting down with Sakura beside him.
Takashi smiled, "Good, good and Chiharu is slowly getting rid of her cold." Chiharu nodded, "Thank god, I was stuck in bed all day." Sakura nodded, "I know what you mean," she said mindlessly. Chiharu looked at her saddened, "Yeah…" "Maybe you ladies could get us something to drink?" Takashi asked breaking the silence.
Chiharu nodded her head, "Would you like to help me Sakura." Sakura nodded her head, "Sure." The two ladies walked to the kitchen while the two men stayed sitting.
"Is that really Sakura?" Takashi asked. Syaoran nodded his head sadly, "She has amnesia," he told his friend. Takashi shook his head, "Poor girl." Syaoran sighed, "But she's slowly remembering everything." Takashi smiled, "That's good, did you tell her everything yet?" Syaoran shook his head, "I don't know how. And…and she has a son…" Takashi sat there frozen, "Nani!" he yelled. Syaoran nodded his head, "Yea and he's mine." Takashi ran his hand through his hair, "Man, you have to do something about that." Syaoran nodded, "I will have her marry me Tak. I mean I messed up the first time, but I won't let it happen again."
Takashi chuckled at that, "Actually you messed up twice already," he told his friend. Syaoran glared at his friend, "Thanks for the support."
Chiharu
She looked at Sakura sadly while getting the cups. She accidentally dropped one making it splatter all over the floor. Sakura looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?" she asked while helping Chiharu pick up the broken glass. Chiharu's eyes were welling up in tears now and she cut her finger slightly. Sakura looked at her sadly, "I'll get it Chi," she said while lifting her up.
Chiharu looked at her, tears flowing down her face endlessly, "Sakura!" she said embracing the woman, Sakura held Chiharu in her arms, "Aww, Chi I didn't die alright?"
Chiharu looked at her, "Y-y-you remember me?" she asked. Sakura nodded her head, "I remembered everything since I last saw Syaoran." Chiharu looked at her, "Than how come you won't tell Syaoran?" Sakura sighed staring at the palms of her hands, "I'm not sure what to think of him at the moment," she told Chiharu truthfully.
Chiharu grabbed onto Sakura, "He loves you Sakura, and he's never loved anyone else." Sakura looked into her eyes, "But that day, I know what I saw." Chiharu looked at her sadly, "You have to talk to him." Sakura nodded her head, "I know, but I'm not ready yet." Chiharu nodded in understanding, "But promise me you'll talk to him before you return back to England." Sakura nodded her head, "I promise, before I return to England, I will talk to him."
Chiharu smiled and wiped the tears off her face, "Let's get the drinks now." Sakura nodded her head, she knew in her heart she had to talk to Syaoran, but for now she would keep this secret away from him. She wasn't sure if she was ready to talk about the pain again. She still needed some time.
Syaoran
He laid down on his bed staring at the ceiling. He was exhausted yet he couldn't sleep. He couldn't get her out of his mind. After they had came back with their drinks they had spent the whole time talking. Just like old friends. Syaoran sighed, if only things were the way they used to be. He sighed and hid under the covers, he needed to be early tomorrow or his mother would be very displeased.
The next morning he walked down to the dining room where all the servants were serving them breakfast. "Morning mother," he said while bowing politely. Yelan waved him off, "Where is that guest of yours?" she asked with disgust. As if on cue Sakura stepped in looking downwards, "Your majesty," she said while bowing to Yelan. Than she faced Syaoran and bowed to him, "Prince."
Syaoran smiled sadly and told her to sit down. The breakfast was quiet and awkward. When his mother was finished she excused herself and looked at Sakura scornfully. Sakura sunk down in her seat. When she noticed there wasn't anyone else there she sighed, "Thank god." Syaoran smiled at her, "I'm sorry about my mother." Sakura smiled softly, she knew why she was doing all this to her. She had stolen her son away, her just a common low life whore stole her son away two years ago. He had refused to marry anyone else since her 'death' which she was grateful for.
"It's alright, where are we going today though?" she asked him looking at him cutely. Syaoran chuckled, "I have to some business to attend to first, but I'll be home around 1." Sakura nodded her head that would mean she would have some time to herself. Soon after Syaoran left for work leaving Sakura alone in the house. The queen was at a get together with her 'friends.' She decided to give Chiharu a call having something to ask her.
"Hey Chi?" she asked hearing someone pick up. "Hello, what you need Sakura?" Sakura smiled, "I need some help." Chiharu looked at the phone surprised, "With what?" Sakura smiled, "Family business"
Sakura
She sat in the gardens admiring the cherry blossom tree that was there. It was fairly large she smiled as she felt the pedals fly around her. She closed her eyes feeling the warmth all around her. She sighed; she's never felt so relaxed in her life. She looked at her watch; it was almost one and Syaoran would be home soon.
She laid down on the soft green grass and looked up towards the clouds. She smiled; she really hoped that Chiharu would be able to help her with her problem. She had also decided that she would tell Syaoran tonight, she smiled brightly, 'Yes tonight.' She noticed a figure walking towards her but ignored it; she was feeling too good to get up right now.
She felt someone touching her hair and she opened her eyes and stared into his chocolate ones. She smiled brightly, "How was work?" Syaoran smiled, "Boring." Sakura nodded while Syaoran helped her up, "What did you do all day?" Sakura looked around her, "Admire your garden." Syaoran smiled, "You want to go out to dinner today? Just me and you?" he asked. Sakura nodded her head, "I would like that."
Syaoran
He stood outside Sakura's door tensely. He kept fixing his tie making sure it was perfect. He watched as the door opened revealing a true angel. She was wearing a blue crystal gown that flowed all the way down to the floor. Her hair was wavy and had a white flower in it. She had on white gloves and heals matching the dress.
On her finger was their ring, he smiled realizing she never took it off. Sakura smiled brightly and touched his arm gently, "Shall we get going?" she asked softly. Syaoran nodded and led her out. She noticed the limo wasn't there, "Where's the limo?" Syaoran smiled, "I'll be driving instead," he told her leading her towards the garage. He picked out a green car and opened the door for her.
Sakura entered the car inside was completely black leather, she smiled seeing Syaoran enter. "So where are we going?" she asked him. Syaoran smiled secretively, "That's a surprise." The ride there was silent, but peaceful. Sakura enjoyed watching the view, and smiled brightly when she noticed the car stopping. "Close your eyes," she heard his husky voice say.
Sakura obliged and closed her eyes and felt his hand touch hers leading her out of the car. She walked slowly unsure of where they were going. "I won't hurt you," he told her softly. Sakura nodded and continued letting him lead her. Soon they stopped and he said huskily, "Open your eyes." Sakura opened her eyes and gasped at the sight in front of her.
She could see the endless amount of the ocean before her, bouncing off the light from the moon above. They were currently on a deck with a single table and two beautifully carved chairs. There were two plates of food and a waiter there. Syaoran took her hand and helped her in her seat. Sakura smiled and watched as the waiter served the spaghetti. It smelt great.
She smiled at Syaoran, "You didn't have to do all this," she told him. Syaoran smiled seeing her happiness, "Oh but there's more," and from behind musicians came and started playing some classical music. They ate the food while listening to the peaceful music in the background.
When Sakura was finished eating Syaoran rose from his seat and offered his hand, "Would you be so kind as to dance with me?" Sakura took his hand and wrapped them around his neck. Syaoran held her close by the waist, swaying along with the music. Once the music died out and everyone left they sat by the ocean listening to the waves.
"God you're beautiful you know that Kura," Syaoran said while playing with her hair. Sakura smiled, "I have to tell you something Syao," she said seriously. Syaoran sat up, "What is it?" he asked while holding onto her hands. Sakura looked into his eyes, "I remember you, us, the past I remember everything." Syaoran started at her, surprised, "Since when?" he asked her.
"Since the day I fainted, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I was unsure about us. I didn't know what to believe," she told him truthfully. Syaoran smiled brightly, "Oh it's alright as long as you trust me now." Sakura nodded her head, and kissed him tenderly on the lips, "But I need to know what happened…" she told him looking off into the endless space.
