~*~[[Where Kero is...]]~*~
Beneath a trap door in a run down house, a yellow loin looking 'thing' yawned and stretched. It's gaze rested on it's surroundings, and then it looked horrified.
"Where am I? What is this run down place? Where is my master? Where is FOOD?!" Kero said.
Kero the guardian of the Clow book, which is now known as the Sakura Book, flew around in desperation.
"Kami-sama (Oh my God)! I need to get out of this horrible place. He flew near the trap door, and tried to push it open without any improvement.
Kero's stomach growled, and he fell down, and muttering, "Food, must get food...must get food."
~*~[[Sumwhere else....]]~*~
Sakura listened to her mother talk about the Clow Book guardians, and wondered what the Keroberos [[did I spell it right??]] and Yue would look liked. Her mother said that Keroberos looked like a winged lion when it was in its true form. And for Yue, well he looked like any other human, except he had wings and magical abilities.
"Why aren't my guardians with me mother?" asked Sakura. She was rather curious and thought it was quite strange that they aren't by her side guiding her.
""Well Keroberos is still at your father's house. And he didn't know where Keroberos was resting. Therefore, he's still there, which the house is probably in ruins now," explained Nadeshiko. She watch her daughter ponder on the answer, as she took the new information in. Her daughter was quite a fast learner in magic, and for that, Nadeshiko is grateful, as Sakura will fulfil her destiny to aid the young Emperor.
"Ok, so I have to find father's old home. And it's near Shui Far Dow [[I made it up. Direct translation of that would be Water Flower Place.]] This is so much information to take in such an little amount of time mother!" complained Sakura, as she lay her head down on the kitchen table.
"Yes it is. You are going to find your father's old house with the Emperor, and go to the Capitol from there."
Sakura sighed, and stood up. "I'm going to find where the Emperor is. He said he went to the forest to chop wood...if he succeeded that is."
Nadeshiko laughed, and nodded her head. "Ok, come back soon as dinner is going to be ready by then."
"Yes mother," smiled Sakura, as she grabbed her woven basket, and set off to the forest.
Sakura looked in awe at her surroundings. The forest never ceased to amaze her. The beautiful trees, and bamboo cover the whole forest in one big blanket. She saw a pair of nightingales fly overhead. She bent down to survey the little plants on the ground.
'Hmm...I need to get more herbs,' thought Sakura, as she went to work. She picked leaves, shoots, roots and whole plants to take home. Then she heard horses hooves pounding against the hard ground. Sakura dashed into the bushes and hid.
"You take that side while I take this side. You need to find that pathetic excuse for an Emperor NOW. I want him alive!" yelled an masculine voice.
"Yes master," another masculine voice said. Then she heard a horse galloping away.
"Where is the Emperor? Someone told me that he was seen in this area. Hmmm...if I was a weakling where would I hide?" said the masculine voice, hinted with amusement.
Sakura carefully turned around. 'I need to get away from here this very instant!' Sakura thought panicking. There was a voice inside her head saying 'gogogogogog!!'. 'I know!' Sakura snapped at the voice.
She carefully waddled around, making sure she didn't rustle any trees or step and break any twigs. When Sakura thought she was safe, who wrong can she get?
SNAP! A twig beneath her broke. Sakura cursed under her breath, and hope that she wasn't spotted.
"Whose there?" demanded the man. "Whoever you are, COME OUT NOW!"
Being the stubborn girl she is, and fearing for her very life, she stayed where she was, without a sound, without a movement. She heard leaves rustling, and footsteps getting closer and closer...
'Please don't let him see me! Please don't let him see me...' Sakura said over and over again in her head.
"What do we have here?" said a man, with a hint of smugness in his voice.
Sakura knew her prayer went unanswered, and she didn't move, nor did she heed to answer his question. Her head was bent down. And she hope she can pretend to be asleep or something; anything to make this unknown man go away.
"A pretty young girl like you shouldn't be out here in such places," the man continued. "Are you DEAF or MUTE?!" he snapped. Sakura flinched at his tone inwardly.
'He just gave me an idea. Pretend to be mute. Splendid idea.' Sakura thought, rather smirking.
She grabbed a twig and pretends to be playing with it. As the man walked closer, she became more engrossed in the twig. Then a hand appeared before her and grabbed the twig off her. She stood up angrily, and glared at the person in front of her.
The man in front of her was quite handsome. He has dark brown hair that was concealed in an army helmet; a well chiselled face and glittering golden eyes. Eyes that mesmerised her. She gawked at the man in front of her, and remembering her manners she closed her mouth and looked at the ground in front of her.
"Are you DEAF or MUTE?!" he shouted at her. She continued to looked at the ground until he put his finger on her chin and made her look up at him.
Sakura made herself smile a shy and sad smile, and then looked at him. He gave her a stern look, and waited for her answer. She gestured to her ear and made hand gestures to tell him she cannot hear. Then she gestured to her mouth to indicate that she cannot talk either.
'Please believe me. I'm deaf and mute...deaf and mute...' Sakura chanted in her head.
The man in front of her gazed deeply into her eyes, as if to find the truth. He finally let go of her chin, and plunged his hand into his army clothes. He pulled out a scroll to unfold a portrait of the...
Emperor! 'Oh no. Is he looking for Xiao Lang too? Is he the Queen's soldier? If he is, why did he say pathetic excuse for an Emperor? Something isn't right here...'
He gestured towards the scroll, then bent down to the ground, and grabbed a twig. He wrote some Chinese characters into the ground. Sakura also bent down to look at his writing. The Chinese characters read: 'Have you seen this person? The Queen has ordered me to search for him. If you have please tell me where he is.'
She grabbed a twig and answered: 'Sorry, I haven't seen such a person. Maybe he left this area, because I haven't seen a stranger lurk in these areas.'
'Are you sure?' The soldier wrote. He looked like he was the army general or something. 'Someone who has a high rank in the army', Sakura thought. She cocked her head to the side, and wrote, 'Yes I'm quite sure.'
She was suspicious of this young man. The man looked at her reply then stood up. Sakura continued to write. 'What's your name?'
The man looked at her question, and bent down and scrawled 'Zhung Geet' in the ground. Sakura liked his name. 'Zhung in his name means to improve, and Geet means famous. Nice name.'
Sakura smiled at him, and wrote, 'Nice name. Mines Sakura.' Zhung Geet wrote, 'Your name is also nice. A very appropriate name for you.' Sakura blushed with this, and looked at him. He also looked at her and their eyes met.
Sakura felt her heart beat louder, and she looked away blushing. He was still looking at her. 'Maybe she can help me find the Emperor. I'll be able to manipulate her easily enough. I'll just pretend to be in love with herm and then use her without her knowing. Only wimps believe in true love.'
He smiled at her, and wrote, 'I must be going now. Hope to see you around soon.'
'Yes, soon I hope. Good day.' Sakura wrote, then smiled at him. Zhung Geet stood up and smiled down at her, and walked to his horse, and rode away, leaving Sakura standing there watching his retreating back. Sakura then turned around, walking to the opposite direction in her search for Xiao Lang.
So how was da chappie? Good, bad or could be better? Would Zhung Ting find Xiao Lang? What does he want with our Emperor? Is Zhung Geet going to fall in love with Sakura? Who is this Zhung Geet...why did he change his name? Wanna find out? Continue to read my fic n you'll find out all the answers to any questions you have. Plz leave a review! *^-^*
