Chapter 8 "Seeing You Again"
Tomoyo returned to their majesties throne room as promised afterwards.
"Tomoyo! How is she! How is my baby girl!" Nadeshiko shot out of seat frantically.
"Your highness, it's all right. Princess Sakura only has a few bruises around her waist area and arms. She just happened to pass out from the pain. Nothing too major. All she needs now is to rest for the night and she'll fine by tomorrow."
"Such a relief to hear." Nadeshiko sighed and smiled.
Fujitaka looked at his wife in worry. "Nadeshiko, I think it's better if you call it for that day and go rest."
Nadeshiko was about to protest but Fujitaka stopped her with warm eyes.
"I could ever argue with you, dear." she gave in. "I count that you'll fill me in once I wake up?"
"I will, Nadeshiko. Just promise me that you will go rest." The two exchanged a quick kiss before Nadeshiko rose up.
"Well everyone, I will be off."
"Rest well, Queen Nadeshiko." the rest respectively bowed and greeted. (if u forgot on who is still present, it's Touya Yukito, Shuru, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran that's giving their greetings)
"Now Syaoran, let's get back to business." Fujitaka smiled.
Syaoran immediately snapped back and straightened himself up and gave his full attention.
Fujitaka chuckled "As I have heard, my son Touya here said that you have helped out in our previous battle and drove the enemy away, am I correct?"
"Yes Your Highness." Syaoran replied.
"And have I explained that you will be bestowed a reward for your deed ?"
"Not yet , Your Highness."
"I see." Fujitaka sighed. "How can I explain this?"
Syaoran was confused. "Syaoran as you can see, my Sakura can't be among us at this time…."
"Ss-Sakura…" Syaoran zoned off hearing her name.
"What the? What's with that stupid look he's making?" Shuru thought looking at Syaoran.
"And because of what happened earlier.." Fujitaka continued. "I can't let her give you a tour of our castle today."
"What!" both Syaoran and Shuru shot up in unison. Syaoran's expression was blank with his face heating up and Shuru was boiling up as well but with unconfounding anger.
"It's not fair! I thought I was her soon-to-be-fiance. How the hell does this low class trash get the privilige of being with my Sakura!" Shuru screamed in his mind.
"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Fujitaka asked, confused at the two's last reply.
"N-no-not at all, Your Highness." Syaoran stated.
"Same here too." Shuru murmured.
"All right. And I really apologize that I can't be of any help to you today Syaoran." he said with guilt.
"No, it's really all right, Your Highness. You really have been a lot of help. And being here in front of you and Queen has been a real honor." Syaoran bowed.
Shuru glared over at Syaoran sulking but then an idea struck him. He walked towards the King's presence.
"Do you have something you want to say, Prince Shuru?"
"My King, might I make a suggestion?" Shuru asked.
"You may proceed." Fujitaka welcomed.
"Your Majesty, as we all know my soon-to-be fiance.." Shuru said that with dignity directed at Syaoran. Syaoran gritted his teeth.
"..is unable to be with us on this joyous moment, thus not show Syaoran around the castle grounds." Shuru smiled happily at the last words.
"There's no way you can ever get near her." Shuru confidently thought.
"And where are you going with this?" Fujitaka asked.
"I was thinking, as your lovely daughter won't be able to assist our guest here, how about having me give the tour instead? I almost know all of the castle like the back of my head. I guess it's because of all the years I have spent here with Sakura." Shuru respectively bowed to the king and sneaked a looked at Syaoran.
Shuru was currently pleased with his work. Syaoran was steaming with anger. His eyes stayed locked on Shuru with hate. But his obnoxiousness wasn't what annoys him. It was that he had a right to Sakura.
"Very well, I accept your proposition. I expected as much from you and I thank you."
"No need to thank me, Your Majesty. I would do anything especially if it would be of help to your daughter. It is my duty.
Syaoran gritted his teeth at what just happened in front of him. He clenched his knuckles so tight that it turned white.
"My my, such an amusing show we got here today.." Eriol humored out loud.
Syaoran gave him a murderous look. Tomoyo nervously chuckled. "Uh dear, now's not a good time." she assured.
"Very well, Tomoyo my love."
"If you please follow me, I will lead you around." Shuru said with a glint.
Syaoran escorted himself behind Shuru leaving the throne room. Tomoyo took a last look at Shuru and couldn't feel that something's amiss.
Few Hours Later
Shuru has lead Syaoran through most of the castle and now are currently at their last destination.
"And here is their majesties garden. The queen and princess' most favorable place." Shuru introduced.
They walked far enough into the garden to be in the middle of a maze consisted of bushes.
"Good, this should be enough." Shuru thought. His expression changed from calm to serious. He swiftly turned. Syaoran saw this and put his guard up. But he wasn't fast enough as Shuru went and grabbed him by the collar line.
"W-What the hell do you think you're doing?" Syaoran shouted..
"Tell me everything!" Shuru spat in his face. "Tell me your relationship with her!"
Before Shuru went any further, Syaoran, with his reflexes grabbed Shuru's hand and squeezed it. Hard. Shuru drew it back seeing it was palely white and was yelping in pain.
"You-!" Shuru growled.
"I don't think you're at liberty to ask me that." Syaoran icily replied. "If Sakura loves you as much as you claimed and she didn't tell you, then I should respect her and not say anything at all."
"Don't you dare call her by her name!" "Don't you dare speak of her at all!" Shuru roared still struggling. "…You have no right!" "Especially being in the presence of someone as graceful as Sakura!"
Syaoran stared at the so called prince with a look as hard as stone.
"And Sakura does love me. As much as I love her. The first time I've saw her, I knew we were somehow connected and I have decided to always stay by her side and look after her. That is…That is until you showed up!"
"And so you feel I'm a threat?"
"That's right. And if you won't cooperate with me.." Shuru unsheathed his sword with the only hand available "I'll just have to drag it out of you and eliminate you in the process." Shuru snapped and shot towards Syaoran.
Syaoran widened his eyes. A spark shot as the two collided. Drops of blood spilt to the ground. Syaoran gripped on to his arm to stop the bleeding. Luckily it wasn't a direct hit since Syaoran drew his sword in time, but he wasn't able to completely avoid the attack.
"You spared me the trouble of picking a fight with you, but now I won't hold back." Syaoran finalized and got into a stance.
"Hmph. Just try to come at me." Shuru sneered.
"That's quite enough!" a familiar voice called out.
Shuru widened his purple orbs. "T-tt-Tomoyo!"
"Prince Shuru, care to explain yourself?" she harshly asked.
Syaoran stared at Tomoyo as she was truly frightening when she was serious.
"Tomoyo please, it's not what you think. We were just showing our skills to one another."
"Save the lies, I have heard everything right from the start. I suggest you return to your quarters at once. I'm eager to hear what the king and queen will say to this. Especially Princess Sakura." giving a deadly look.
Shuru froze. "No Tomoyo, please understand that it was only-"
Tomoyo's eyes darkened and shot straight at him. Shuru flinched at this. "I think it's time you return to your room. I will finish escorting our guest around the premises. And…."
Shuru's heart thumped in anticipation. "…visitation rights to Princess Sakura's room are not allowed other than personal servants and family until tomorrow morning." Tomoyo mentioned still glaring.
The prince stood at his spot gritting his teeth and left before things got any uglier.
Tomoyo turned her gaze back to Syaoran and the so-called vicious look she had on her face was now changed to a sweet serene-like dunce.
Syaoran couldn't blame Shuru for being fritened as he was too. "Uh.. Tomoyo-san, I should-"
"No need, Syaoran.." she smiled. "I had thought it was too strange for Shuru to act so kind.." "And if there was anyone that deserves to be with Sakura…I think it should be you, right?" she giggled and winked.
Syaoran's face flushed in red.
"Ohohohoho…" "That's what I thought." "Come on, let's finish up the tour."
30 Minutes Later
"And here is your room. The king wishes you to stay for the night in show of his gratitude." "This is one of the best rooms we have in the whole castle." Tomoyo pointed out.
"Thank you for all you have done. I truly am grateful for all this." Syaoran said and bowed.
"Such a gentlemen.." Tomoyo slyly thought.
"It's not a problem. Just try to enjoy your stay here." "Well now, I will take my leave now." Tomoyo finalized.
Syaoran began walking away from the door. "You know…" Syaoran stopped walking hearing Tomoyo, still lobbing her head at the door.
"If you'd like, I can give you the time Sakura goes to take her bath.." Tomoyo whispered smiling.
Syaoran jumped and turned a deep shade of red. Tomoyo was amusing herself and could have sworn she saw blood shoot out of his nose.
"…So innocent…" she laughed in her mind. "I take it that the silence you're giving me is a yes?"
"T-tt-Tomoyo-san, this is inappropriate.. No! What I meant to say was-"
"Easy there, Syaoran." "You don't have to answer it. Ohoho.." "but if you'd like, I can still give it to you." she implied meekly.
An image formed in Syaoran's head.
"Syaoran.." Sakura called out sitting there with nothing but a towel, wrapped around her wet drenched naked milky body.
He snapped back to reality and more blood dripped from his nostrils. "Tomoyo-san, please don't.." he begged swiftly covering his ears.
He dragged her out of the room who was smiling widely, before she would say any more. He closed his door and collapsed against it, sighing in relief.
"And call me Tomoyo." she shouted before walking away.
Night fall, 8 PM, Sakura's Room
"Princess, how are you doing?" Keroberos asked.
"I'm doing alright. A little sore but I think I can walk now."
Keroberos waltzed closer licking her wounds. "Kero-chan.." Sakura laughed. "Cut it out.." Keroberos lit up simply seeing his mistress smile again.
"I'll return, Princess. Let me go get your medicine."
"Hai."
The door shut silently behind the beast. Sakura soon heard a thump on her balcony. She slowly struggled her way there, but felt herself slip away slowly.
"Somebody…help me…" she quietly cried falling. Something warm broke her fall. Her chin was being lifted by a warm masculine hand.
Her emerald orbs widened. It was a handsome young man at her age.
"Who are-?" she asked but got cut off as he pulled her in a passionate kiss.
He released from the kiss, giving her room to recover. Sakura was breathing heavily in awestruck.
"That kiss…" she breathed. "Are you…?"
The mysterious guy nodded to her response.
"It really is you." she happily cried. Sakura lifted her head to get a good look at him. The last time she encountered him, he was invisible. So now she wanted to outline the guy's identity into her heart. Surely her instincts didn't lie. In fact her was more handsome than she had dreamed. Such deep and fiery amber orbs he had that just simply made her heart melt. And his hair was such a messy masterpiece shade of brown. Similar to the guy in her dreams.
This was all she could get a glimpse at. He was fully covered in a cloak and a mask covering part of his eyes.
"Why must you conceal yourself from me?" she eagerly asked. "Please take off that mask so I can see that handsome face of yours."
"H-ha-hhan-handsome?" he thought wildly.
Sakura motioned her hands towards his mask wanting to see who her mystery man is.
Syaoran grabbed her hands before she went any further. His gaze averted to her wounds.
"You're hurt." examining her arm. His lips made its way to her wound kissing the pain away. She let out a slight pleasurable moan. She felt weak and melted in his arms.
"Hold me…" she begged happily. Syaoran smirked doing what he was told and took in her scent.
Syaoran blushed heavily when her body came into contact with his. What she was wearing was so slim that it felt he was only hugging her body. He felt her fully developed womanhood thrusting against his well-built chest. He could also feel her heart rapidly beating through her breasts.
"Your heart is beating awfully fast, Princess. " Syaoran slyly remarked.
Sakura blushed like a cherry. "Please don't tease me…"
"Yes, Princess." Syaoran obeyed and went to his next plan nibbling on her neck. Sakura let out a loud moan and inhaled deeply.
Syaoran pulled away. "Am I coming on too strong?" he asked with concern in his eyes.
"Not at all." "Please .." she urged inviting him.
Now that she had given him this chance, he doesn't think he can hold back now like the other times he was around Sakura. He intently examined her and fought whether he should let his hormones take over or not. But just from looking at her wardrobe wasn't helping the situation either.
Syaoran was so tense that it completely disappeared when Sakura's hand caressed through his cheek to the back of his head.
"Stop fighting it…" she whispered. "You have my permission….so please…" her eyes drooped and drawing closer to him "..let's enjoy this moment" and closer "…as long" and closer "…as possible." her lips now on his.
"Sa..Sa..kura…." his thoughts slowly fading.
His hands slid around her petite waist. He tightened his grip on her not wanting to let go. Syaoran was ecstatically happy. He deepened the kiss more.
"So good.." she moaned in her head. "….Such a good kisser…." Syaoran came on so strong that Sakura felt she was going to lose balance. This lasted for minutes. Syaoran would deepen the kiss more than before. And Sakura would fall off her feet but Syaoran would just lift her back up, lusting after her with each kiss. Hormones completely took over him, feeling the need to taste her, to smell her, to feel her and maybe take her.
Syaoran pulled away from her. Sakura was a little hurt at this.
"It's all right. Mother and father won't see us." Sakura implied.
Syaoran didn't dare to look at her because he knows he might not be able to restrain himself. Sakura was so confused.
"What's wrong? You don't want to kiss me?" she said with hurt.
"Sakura…if only you knew how much this is killing me…" he thought.
Syaoran still didn't say anything.
"No?" she sweetly asked. "Then…do you….. hate me?" Sakura said with sad eyes.
Syaoran was shocked. "How could she say that?"
"No. Princess, that's not it."
"Then what is it?" she curiously asked.
"It's just…..it's just that….Princess, it hurts to see you in pain like this." he said looking at her with warm eyes.
"It's nothing. I'm fine." she tried putting on a brave face but winced.
Syaoran caught her just in time. "Tell me who did this to you. I'll make sure this person never touches you again." he gritted.
"Please don't" she begged. "I'm sure Shuru didn't mean to intentionally hurt me. This only happened because he felt threatened by Syaoran and I just happened to be there when he lost his temper."
Syaoran was hurt at the way she was defended Shuru.
"And this Syaoran guy." he looked away. "How do you feel about him?"
"When I look at him, I only see him as a friend." she said.
Syaoran froze. "as a friend…. As a friend! Her feelings for me hasn't changed after all these years." he screamed in his mind.
Syaoran looked hurt. Sakura saw this. "But …" she cried "It doesn't mean I feel anything for him…" she tried to cheer him. "The only person I have feelings for is you."
"So please.." she walked to him. "don't ever leave me.." embracing him.
Syaoran stood there dumbfounded. "She…she actually…"
"Sakura!" a voice called out.
Sakura gasped. "Mother.."
Syaoran veered his head to her ear. "Wait for me." he whispered taking his leave.
The warmness was gone. Sakura felt a bit lonely but is now happier than before.
"Sakura?" "There you are. You made me worry for a minute there." "Come on, honey. Tomoyo says you need your rest."
But Sakura wasn't listening and was busy staring at the distance, dreaming of the same guy that was just here.
"Come on, Sakura. Let me help you.." Nadeshiko escorted.
"Yes, mother."
