Chapter 1: Breakfast Party???
In another part of China.
"Sakura! Please wake up and help me with breakfast!" yelled her mother.
Sparkling emerald orbs were revealed as the pretty girl awoke. She was around 16 and had a lovely figure, and beautiful light brown hair. It flowed to her lower back.
She fixed her hair prettily with her hair curving this way and that on the top of her head. She put on her clothing which was made from poorer material, as her family is not really rich.
She opened the double doors, and closed them behind her. The sun's rays blinded her for a few seconds, but she got use to it, and walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was built next to the house, and it was made of wood. Inside the kitchen was a stone built stove. It was sort of like a stone box, except at the front it had a wide opening for burning wood, and a top, so the food can be cooked. A bundle of wood was on the right side of the kitchen.
Sakura helped her mother carry out the dishes to the wooden table that stood outside her house.
"Good morning mother," greeted Sakura cheerfully.
"Good morning daughter," replied her mother, smiling.
Nadeshiko had the same emerald eyes as her daughter. She had long wavy grey hair that went up to her waist, but she always kept her hair up as she is married, even though she was a widow. Nadeshiko was always described as elegant and gentle.
Sakura looked like her mother, but had her father's personality. Well, she does kinda.Anyways, The Kinomoto family had guests over this morning. Sakura laid out all the dishes her mother cooked in the morning, and waited for the guests to arrive.
"Sakura?" a voice called out on the other side of the door. [[A.N: VERY IMPORTANT! In Ancient China, they had a gate thing that was the entrance to the whole estate, or a area of land, in which the family lived. So, it's like a front door and gate at the same time. It's a bit confusing unless you know about these things, or if you're Azn, and have watched those movies that were set in Ancient China.]]
Sakura opened the door, and revealed a pregnant Tomoyo, and a proud husband.
"Welcome Tomoyo and Eriol!" greeted Sakura. Sakura hugged Tomoyo carefully, and hugged Eriol really tightly. Eriol was like a older brother to her, and he loved her dearly too. [[As a brother! Not anything else! It's a S+S fanfic!]]
Eriol had wavy blue hair, and doesn't wear glasses. [[No such thing as glasses back in Ancient China.]] The couple was married for a year, and was expecting the child in a few months time. Eriol was extremely proud and excited. Tomoyo was equally ecstatic about the child, and was already planning how many kids she was going to have.
Sakura and Eriol helped Tomoyo through the door frame, and helped her sit on the wooden bench carefully. Sakura went back to the door to close it, but a hand stopped her. The hand belonged to a boy who always tells stories- well to put it bluntly, lies.
"Takashi and Chiharu!" chirped Sakura cheerfully. She hugged them both, but soon children's voices were heard.
"Good morning Aunty Sakura!" chirped two children. One was three years old, but was indeed very intelligent. The eldest child was a boy, who is four years old, and had Takashi's sense of humour, yet has Chiharu's intelligence. The eldest boy had Takashi's blue hair and Chiharu's pretty eyes. The youngest was indeedly cute, as she was a girl, and had the most adorable smile ever! She also has Chiharu's sparkling eyes, and her father's blue hair.
Both children ran to Sakura and hugged her. Sakura hugged them back, and was grinning ear to ear. "Do come in," said Sakura.
"Tomoyo and Eriol just came before you two, and mother is nearly finished cooking breakfast, so just sit down and relax," smiled Sakura.
She led her friends and their children to the humble wooden table. [[A.N: Indeedly humble. The lower class only had rough wooden tables to eat on.]]
Then, more voiced could be heard, and in no time, nearly all the friends were over for breakfast. Tomoyo's mother, Sonomi [[Is this how to spell Tomoyo's mother's name???]] helped Nadeshiko with cooking more food.
Sakura was laughing to Takashi's *cough cough* stories, and believing them. Sakura is indeedly still dense as ever, but still cheerful. Nothing really brought the young lady down, except for her beloved father's death.
Sakura's father Fujitaka, was chopping wood for cooking, and spotted ling zhi [[This is a very expensive Chinese medicine. [[In Australia it costs around-for da best-$50 something according to Chinese weighing system. Which is less than a kilo.]], growing in the wild, on the mountain side.
He knew this was a rare find, so he climbed the mountain side carefully, as not to slip and fall to the bottom of the cliff. When he nearly reached the lovely ling zhi, he was celebrating too early, and lost his footing. So you can imagine the rest.
His body was washed ashore weeks later, and was known as Fujitaka. Nadeshiko was extremely worried when her husband was missing for the few weeks. Sakura was getting really aggravated, but kept calm for the sake of her mother's sanity and her own. When they heard about the body, they quickly went to see it. There they found the body of Fujitaka, and they broke down in tears. It was extremely tough for the two females.
But they managed, and learned to cope with the sudden death. Sakura also has an older sister, who is married to a rich young man. The rich young man isn't really nice. He has dark brown hair, and matching eyes, and was quite tall. Her sister loved her family a lot, and misses them dearly. When she heard about the death of her father, she grieved for him a few months, but pulled herself together. She occasionally slips out of the large estate to visit her mother and sister. She gives them money, and clothing, and medication.
Her sister got busted once, so she visits them irregularly so her husband cannot tell when she is going to visit them. Her husband respects her, as she has had an education, thanks to her father. Her father's family use to be rich, so Fujitaka had an education. [[A.N: Rich families could only afford to hire teachers to teach their children. Well, only boys were allowed I think. Anyways.]]
So Fujitaka taught both of his daughters well, and they were very grateful that they can read and write. Sakura's older sister was very smart, and caught the eye of the rich young man, that is now her husband. Her husband respects her a lot, and loves her too, but he doesn't like her family.
Sakura is very good with a needle, and would sometimes help her mother with embroidery. She would make clothes and handkerchiefs to sell at the markets to get more money.
Touya, Sakura's cousin, passed the big exam that was held in Ancient China, and became a judge. He was very rich, and would occasionally visit the Kinomotos. He would help them financially, and give them food and money. He was very close to Sakura, and loved her dearly. He was rather over- protective of her like an older brother.
So when suitors would come, Touya always have to be informed, and would visit the Kinomotos. He refused ALL the suitors, and say that they weren't good enough for Sakura.
Life goes on for the Kinomoto family. Both mother and youngest daughter were doing quite well, and weren't lonely, as their friends and neighbours always kept them company, and would help them out whenever they could.
Sakura ate absent-mindedly, and cleaned up her bowl after she had finished eating. Sakura joined her friends, and were talking about everything!.
"Sakura, have you found your perfect suitor yet? You're already sixteen years old," asked Tomoyo.
"Yes I know Tomoyo. Don't have to be worried about me you know. I will marry one day, but I don't think anytime soon because, I haven't found the one yet. I know my mother will arrange my marriage soon," said Sakura, with a hint of sadness.
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm sure you'll find the one you love very soon. I just have this feeling," smiled Eriol.
"Thanks," said Sakura, smiling.
"No problems, always a pleasure," bowed Eriol.
Everyone started to laugh. "Sakura, don't you have to make some clothes and handkerchiefs to sell?" asked Chiharu.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" asked Sakura.
"Well, the girls and I decided we are going to help you," Chiharu replied.
"You guys don't have to you know. I can do this," stated Sakura.
"Well there's not a lot to do, you know. Eriol won't let me do a lot of work because I'm pregnant, so might as well be useful for once!" said Tomoyo.
"You're never useless Tomoyo," said Sakura, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko.
They all laughed as they said that at the same time. All the girls helped to clean up, and went to work on the clothes and handkerchiefs. The guys went to see what their wives and friends were up to.
"So this is what the females are up to eh?" commented Eriol.
All the girls jumped a bit because they didn't notice the guys, and were shocked.
"Sorry to make you girls jumpy," apologised Eriol.
"Do that again, and your ear won't feel a thing for the rest of your life!" yelled Tomoyo, as she pinched her husband's ear firmly.
"Owwww, sweetie you can let go of my ear now you know. I promise I won't scare you again. Owww! I mean I won't surprise you ever again like that. Better?" said Eriol, while flinching every time Tomoyo pulled on his ear.
"That's more like it!" said Tomoyo, smiling to herself.
The girls were giggling, and the guys where looking at the couple with amusement. "What you all looking at!" snapped Eriol.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing," laughed the guys.
"You find it very amusing do you?" asked Eriol, while advancing upon the guys.
"Chill man, it's ok. Chiharu is more stronger than Tomoyo. When she was pregnant, her moods change like the weather! She also pinched my ear a lot. Did you know that-" before Takashi could say any more, Chiharu was pinching Takashi's ear, and whacking him on his head a lot.
Everyone sweatdropped, including their children. "I never knew mummy could be so violent," whispered the eldest child.
"Neither did I," the youngest replied.
"Anyways," said Sakura sweatdropping. "We girls should get a move on these delicate handkerchiefs and clothing. We have a deadline you know!"
"Ok, we'll go back home," replied all the guys.
"Good, Takashi can you please take the children home, so that I can help Sakura?" asked Chiharu.
"Yeah, sure. Come along kids, time for us to find another adventure!" said Takashi.
"Another adventure dad? Are you going to slip and fall again father?" replied the eldest cheekily.
"I'm not clumsy, and don't talk back to your father, it's disrespectful, and then people would say your mother and I didn't teach your proper manners, now out you go!"
Takashi pushed his kids out the door, and yelled. "Bye!"
"See you later!" was his reply to the 'bye' that the said. He still could hear laughter and talking, but he heard many people were bidding their 'goodbyes'.
"Kids how bout we go to your grandparents place? You haven't seen them in a while, and you love their birds," said Takashi.
"Yeah, we wanna go to grandparent's place!" chirped his two children happily.
"Ok, here we come!" said Takashi, as he dragged his children along him, down the busy road of their hometown.
If the market place was quiet, you could hear a faint, 'HOE!!' in the background. [[O.o]]
What was that 'Hoe' for, well find out in the next chapter.or so.Hmmmm.Plz review peeps!
