Chapter Six: Thoughts
Sakura found herself staring into familiar almond eyes.
"Li." Sakura said, her tone flat.
The pixie prince stared at her, a confused look crossing his handsome face.
"What are you staring at?" Sakura growled, snatching her arm from him.
His lips didn't turn into a smirk, as Sakura thought they would, but remained in a straight line. Why was he so confused?
"Why…did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"With that boy, Prue." He said.
Sakura felt a blush cross her cheeks. So he'd seen her act of kindness towards a pixie…
"What about it?" She said hotly, her arms crossing over her chest.
"Why did you help him?" Syaoran asked. "He's a pixie…I thought you hated all pixies"
She couldn't help it anymore, she couldn't look into those eyes of his…she turned away. "He's still a child, Li, no matter what he is. It was my fault he got hurt and I wanted to help him"
"Well yeah," Syaoran said, his lips curving up slightly. "But still…I didn't expect you to be like that"
Sakura turned and glared at him. "Like what?"
"Nice"
She felt her cheeks redden even more. "N-Nice? I am nice! Most of the time…why? Why should I care what you think anyways?"
He smirked at her, but did not answer.
With a frustrated groan, Sakura turned and started to stomp away, only to have Syaoran grab her arm again and pull her back. "Wait a second, where are you going?"
"Why do you care?" She snapped.
"Because you're my responsibility now." Syaoran said, not letting go of her arm. "And you aren't supposed to leave the palace unless under supervision"
"Well if I'm being kept here." Sakura said acidly. "Then why can't I at least walk around?"
"Because." Syaoran answered simply.
"Because? That's it? Why not Li?" Sakura growled.
"Because," Syaoran said. "Who knows what trouble you could get into"
Sakura smirked. "So your worried about me now?"
"N-No!" Syaoran snapped at her. "Why would I be worried about you? I'm more worried about the damage you could inflict on this city"
"Please. The only damage I'd ever inflict is on your ego." Sakura retorted.
Syaoran glared at her, his grip on her arm getting tighter. "Not smart Sakura"
"Nothing I do now a days is smart." Sakura sighed, gently, wrapping her fingers around his and prying them from her arm. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go back to my cell, I'm tired and need some sleep"
With that Sakura turned on her heel and started to walk back towards the palace.
Syaoran in tow.
"Why are you so angry?" He asked.
"Ask Yukito." Sakura said with a wave of her hand. "I already told him and I don't feel like repeating myself"
"Yukito? Why were you talking to him?"
"Jealous are we?"
Syaoran groaned. "You are impossible!"
Sakura nodded, a satisfied grin breaking out across her pretty face. "Yes I know"
He rolled his eyes, following after her as she walked up the steps towards the ramps that led to the palace gates.
"Aren't you going to answer me?" He asked suddenly.
Sakura sighed. "Answer what?"
"Why you're so angry?"
She shook her head. "No thanks Li. Not today anyway"
"Enough talking for the day then." Syaoran smirked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She hissed.
He shrugged and walked past her, stepping up to the two guards at the front gate to the palace.
"Prince Syaoran Li." Syaoran said to the two guards. "And-"
"His evil, depressed, pissed-off-at-the-world prisoner." Sakura finished for him.
The guards snickered and opened the door, letting Sakura and Syaoran pass.
"Smart ass." Syaoran mumbled.
"Take notes." Sakura shot back.
They continued walking down the hallways, their footsteps echoing behind them.
I feel…less angry, towards Syaoran. Sakura thought to herself, confused. Why? Only a few hours ago…I hated him. Damn, maybe Yukito's niceness or Prue's cuteness has gotten to me.
Sakura sighed, looking up at the roof of the palace. Forgive me mom, dad…I'm sorry that I can't be angry with these people anymore.
But she most certainly could fake being pissed off at them.
Two weeks later…
Zachary sighed, staring blankly at the dungeon walls, his gray eyes sad.
It had been two weeks since Sakura had been kidnapped and the pixie girl, Rika, had refused to talk. Not once did she open her mouth.
"Tell me," Zachary said, turning to the pixie girl. He'd visited her every day, pummeling her with questions about Sakura and where they may have taken her. But Rika hadn't spoken, only glared. "Where is she?"
Rika remained silent.
Zachary groaned, standing over the pixie, whose wrists were chained, her brown eyes shinning. "Just tell me will you? My God! How hard can it be to tell me where Sakura fucking is?"
"Not hard." Rika said.
Zachary's breath caught in his throat. She speaks.
She had a nice voice.
"Please," Zachary said softly, kneeling in front of her. "Tell me where Sakura is. Or…if she's okay"
"I wouldn't know." Rika snapped at him, her pointed ears poking through her dark hair. "If Syaoran hadn't left me..."
Zachary shook his head sadly. "It's not my fault that the prince left you there and I don't know why he would. But please…just tell me what you think…if Sakura's okay"
Rika looked at him, her brown eyes sad. Her eyes ran over Zachary's face, then his wings, then back to his face again. "Do you…love this girl…Sakura?"
Heat rushed to Zachary's cheeks and he quickly stood and turned from Rika. "N-No. She's…my friend. That's all. Just…a friend"
He heard a small laugh from behind him and turned around.
"You're lying through your teeth fairy." Rika smiled. She was actually a pretty girl; long brown hair tied in two pigtails, big brown eyes, a soft face. "I know how men work, and your in love with the trapper"
"So what if I am?" Zachary snapped. "Do you know what they'd do to her?"
Rika shrugged. "I don't know. Most fairies they bring in are put into slavery or are killed in front of everyone. But…Sakura is…special, somehow. Not only the pixies want her"
"What?" Zachary gasped, kneeling in front of Rika again. "Who else?"
"Well, the goblins are one. They're nasty creatures, not good to get mixed up in. Or the sprites…but I doubt they could get past the city walls to get to her"
"So…would she still be alive then"
"Maybe." Rika said softly. "I'm not sure. As long as she didn't piss too many people off and then…maybe. I'm sure she is. Syaoran isn't that heartless. Besides, he caught her so she belongs to him now. I doubt he'd let anyone kill her. Unless, of course, it was him"
A twinge of jealousy ran through Zachary at the thought of another man "owning" Sakura.
Rika smirked at him. "See? You are in love with her"
Zachary smiled faintly at the pixie girl. "So. Are you hungry? You haven't eaten in two weeks."
XxXxX
Syaoran sat, late at night, with Yukito and Meilin on the forest floor, just beyond the city boundaries.
"So what do you think?" Meilin asked. "Should we go out hunting tomorrow night?"
"No." Syaoran said tonelessly. "We have to stay and watch Sakura"
Meilin frowned at him. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura. That's all I ever hear from you now! What's with you? She's a fairy. You may as well put her into slavery, it'd be better than her sitting around all day like she does now. I don't know about her, but I'd hate to be locked up in a cell all day long for two weeks"
Syaoran glared at her, but he knew Meilin was right.
Sakura hadn't come out of her cell since that day with the young boy, Prue. She'd eaten a bit, but otherwise just sat there and stared into space, her wings twitching slightly on her back.
From what Yukito had told Syaoran about Sakura and his chat, Syaoran knew that Sakura's wings were in pain from being tied down for so long.
"Nothings wrong with Syaoran." Yukito said. "But Sakura's his now. His responsibility"
"So?" Meilin growled, turning her attention on Yukito. She began to freak at him.
Syaoran shot Yukito a grateful smile and got to his feet, wandering away from the group.
The moonlight shone down on him as he walked back into the city, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
Why is it that Sakura is always on my mind? No girl has ever made me feel this way before…but she's a fairy. It's forbidden.
His mind flashed back to when Sakura had kissed the boy, Prue's, wound, and found himself wondering what it would be like to have those lips on his.
Syaoran stopped and shook his head madly. Stop it Syaoran! She's a fairy! The enemy! It would never be allowed! Besides…Sakura hates me with all of her being. There's no way…
He sighed and continued walking.
The streets of the city were mostly empty, expect for the odd drunk or lover walking and chatting.
The moonlight cast eerie shadows across the ground, seemingly following Syaoran as he walked.
It's no wonder she hates me. Syaoran thought bitterly. I left Rika there like she didn't matter at all. But she does…I just didn't want to look weak, I guess.
He looked up as a couple walked past him, their arms around each other. They smiled at him bowing their heads slightly.
Syaoran smiled faintly, and passed them.
"Sakura's not safe here." Syaoran mumbled under his breath. "If the goblins decide to kidnap her too…she may not make it out of their city alive"
I know that if she stayed here, with me, I wouldn't harm her. Syaoran clenched his fists tightly together. "I can't…it's forbidden"
I won't fall for Sakura. Syaoran thought to himself. She is my prisoner and she will remain that way. Nothing more and nothing less. I won't get attacked to her.
He frowned and turned to walk back to Yukito and Meilin.
That way, when the time comes for her death…I won't feel anything.
