Chapter Nine

"No!" Syaoran yelled, making the whole church murmur. Syaoran turned to look at Sakura, who had stood up guiltily from the piano. Her emerald eyes shone with guilt as she slowly bit her lip.

Syaoran stared into Sakura's eyes, with realization hitting him as fast as lightning.

Sakura was the piano girl. Sakura was the one he was falling in love with…

Ignoring the people attending his "wedding", Syaoran walked right up to Sakura, and yanked her outside, into the pouring rain, whilst creating murmuring in the church.

Syaoran locked him and Sakura out while Sakura was still shocked. Syaoran turned back to Sakura after shutting the door, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Sakura looked down onto the soil, "Tell you what?"

"That you were the piano girl!"

Sakura bit her lip as she whispered, "It would have been dangerous. I could have gotten killed, unless Mistress gave me permission to play the piano."

Syaoran nodded, "I understand this part, but…"

How do I explain this feeling? I've…I've been falling for the piano girl. In reality, I've been falling for Sakura. I've been falling for the same girl all along!

Sakura then dropped her hat from her hands, and she smiled weakly, "If you really don't forgive me for lying to you like that, I don't mind. I mean, I deserve the punishment I'm to get."

But Sakura didn't know what happened next, because Syaoran was hugging her.

Syaoran closed his eyes, in the pouring rain, and said a sentence that he had already said, "I'm glad." he whispered, "That it was you, Sakura."

Sakura smiled, while she heard her heart thumping loudly.

Was she…falling?

:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':

Sakura slowly walked towards the large stores in town. Sakura was happy. She had never so much time to shop, but now…Tomoyo got permission!

Tomoyo wrinkled her nose, "Look. It's a fortune telling store."

Sakura smiled, "Well they do it for a living, Tomoyo."

"It's against the law to be involved in that sort of witchcraft."

Sakura smiled again, but then it turned into a frown as the witch inside the fortune-telling store came out, and saw Sakura. Sakura panicked, and she slowly nudged Tomoyo, "Let's go. The woman's staring."

Tomoyo nodded, also afraid of the witch. All of a sudden, the woman walked quickly up to Sakura, and grabbed her hand. Sakura opened her mouth in protest, only to hear form the witch, "You are born well, do you know?"

Sakura didn't have to heart to reject the witch, "No I didn't. Am I?"

Tomoyo sighed. It was Sakura's sympathy again, "Why don't I wait for you outside the clothing store, Sakura?"

Sakura nodded, "Alright." and she let the witch drag her into the store. The witch seemed to like Tarot Cards, for she had a few stacks of them. The witch motioned Sakura to sit down, which Sakura did, "Pick a card from the set, dear."

Sakura looked, and bit her lip, and picked out a card. Sakura flipped it over, and she gasped.

Fire Princess.

On the card was a princess, covered in flame. The Princess was twisting in agony and in pride.

The witch smiled lightly, "The Fire Princess. Symbol of pure love and tragedy."

Sakura twitched slightly in her chair, "Oh really?"

"Fire Princess- You are born in riches. But only to be taken away from them. You live a life of hard suffering, but in the end, good always wins over evil. Love is tragic for you, for the one you love is too humble to admit so. Love is also devastating, as fate will always separate you two. Your future is blurred, for only you yourself can set it down. Your life is full of choices, and yet…no choice is right for you. While you may struggle to live, you live life happily, for you accept. However, others do not agree. Others want you as part of their terrible plan, or your friendship, or your guidance. Others may want your wisdom, your kindness, and maybe even your thoughts."

The witched smiled, "Ah. You are one of the first to pick out this card. Good luck, child."

Sakura smiled forcefully, "Yeah…"

"Do you mid awfully if I attend to the bathroom for a few minutes?"

"Not at all…" Sakura said.

The witch smiled evilly, "See you soon, dear. I'll be back."

Sakura faintly smiled as she looked around. She didn't like this store. The store was dark, and full of mist. What made the mist was a mystery to her though. Along to Sakura's right, she could see a giant crystal ball, and along to her left, she could see a full, thick book on palmistry. Sakura sighed. She was going against the law.

Sakura gasp as someone else came into the store. A dark shadow. They were looming in the darkness.

"You are caught in the act, Kinomoto Sakura," the dark shadow laughed coldly.

:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':

Syaoran was summoned to Yelan's room. Syaoran didn't like that at all. This usually meant a lecture, a punishment or a relative visiting. Just as Syaoran guess, it was a relative visiting. And it was Syaoran's uncle, Doragon. Syaoran hated him.

Syaoran opened the door to Yelan's' room, only to be greeted by Doragon going, "Hello there nephew."

Syaoran's face turned green.

Yelan smiled, "I leave you to talk to Xiao Lang then, Doragon."

Doragon smiled, "That I shall. How are you doing, Syaoran?"

Doragon's eyes followed Yelan until she left the room. Then, Doragon poured a cup of tea into Syaoran's cup, "Here. Drink up."

Syaoran watched carefully as the Uncle drunk some, and then ate some cake, "Alright." Syaoran said, drinking some tea.

Immediately, Syaoran felt a bit dizzy. Syaoran took it as his previous headache in the morning.

"How's life in the palace, young prince?" Doragon smiled, "I hope it's been good?"

Syaoran struggled to even think about the answer, "Um…" he felt dizzy. Too dizzy, and his head begun to spin. That was when the world blacked out on him.

:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':

Doragon kicked Syaoran head, "Too clumsy for his own good."

He laughed coldly, "That Kinomoto is to be gone for good without the Prince's aid."

:':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':':

Sakura screamed as the soldiers held her arm, one on each. What was happening to her?

"Why are you doing this?" she yelled.

The soldier laughed, "By order of Li Doragon, of the royal family."

Sakura gasped as a piece of fabric was wrapped around her mouth, so she could not talk.

Please help me, Syaoran.

End of Chapter Seven

Here are some replies to some reviews that I felt a need to reply back to…

LilaZnAnGeL4EvA – Yes. That quote is from Moulin Rouge. I love that movie (even though it's so old and all). I didn't cry, because I thought the ending was suitable for the movie. It was quite sad though...

xSweEtPanDaBOOx – Songs of my Heart is light based upon Moulin Rouge. Sorry if you're going to be disappointed in which story I chose. But I'll get around to starting and finishing all of them.

Vampire Izzy- It sounds familiar because I'm going to use the book and story: A Thousand Paper Cranes as part of the storyline. No, it isn't a "based" upon, but it does involve it.

QueenRini – B? Oh well. Thanks for reviewing!

IAMSOP- Syaoran won't say yes! He loves Sakura!

luckyducky7too-Every one seems to like A Thousand or More. I like that one too.

HowlingNight- Out of Time is a book by John Marsden I think… but I got the idea form the movie "the Forgotten".

Mysterious – Don't worry, Meiling doesn't want to marry Syaoran. She's a good person here!

Kimmiko- A Thousand or More? I reckon the title's pretty simple. Should I make it something else?

Spyrothetitan- I will!

Neko-Yuff16- YOU CAN READ MY MIND! Honestly, how did you know that was in the plot?

ffgirl-07 - …YOU CAN READ MY MIND AS WEL! Did I make it that obvious that Sakura's the princess? (Scratches head)

monito- Well, your idea's great! But I've got it planned out, and life's going to be devastating for Sakura. Getting a maid to tell her is letting her go to easily. (grins).

donut – REBEL! I agree!

youkaigirl64- REBEL! Don't worry. I got you.

Lady Golden Flower – A thousand or more? My summaries aren't all that good (blushes). That's right! I will go with all of them sometime of other.

Lady-Seoh-Phoenix – Cliffy are my favourite way to end a chapter. And I HAVE updated. Quickly too. Now that Fire princess card has come out, can you guess why I got Sakura into trouble?

FlowerLove- He does say no, and DON'T DIE YET!

MelMel0492 – C? Ain't that Memories? Ok. Sorry if you're disappointed, but more people voted for A. I will get around to wiritng all of them in the end.

Well. Fire princess has finally come out. The story's nowhere near the ending though. (Smiles).

By the way, I had I look at the people that suggested which story I should do after finishing Fire Princess, and more people voted for: A Thousand or More (He was a boy with his destiny fixed. She was a girl with her fate sealed, and had one wish…one thousand paper cranes. But both had a will to survive. SxS ExT)

Well, one day or another I will get around to finishing ALL or the stories, but I'm going to that story first. I'm so happy! Because that one was my favourite as well! It's lightly based on A Thousand paper Cranes, but ah well.

By the way, A Thousand or More isn't going to be written up until a few months later, because Fire Princess still has about ten chapters left. Yes, there are going to be lots of twists and turns, and I'll be playing around with Sakura's past for a bit.

Please review!
