Princess Cherry: chapter 2

-«-Li Castle-»-

What in the heavens is his problem! Ever since I started working for him as his personal slave, excuse me, "servant" (Whoope, big difference) he's had my doing things for him non stop, "Kinomoto,bring me this.", "Kinomoto, get me that." Dammit, Tomoyo, what have you gotten me into to? I was current walking to Li-oujisama's room with a few of his dance outfits he could wear later today for his lesson, muttering a few curses along the way. You know, if I was a swan again, or if he knew I was his swan he wouldn't be treating me like this, I mean, how could anyway live like this. Tomoyo has too kind of a heart to be in this line of work, she's too good for them...

Lost in my mental ranting, I unconsciously grabbed the handle of the door and opened it.

...I mean really, If I had half the brain they did... well actually I have all the brain they have and more as I am a human, but any- Oh. My. Ka-mi-sa-ma...

There stood Li-oujisama near one of the windows of his room. The sun reflected gorgeously off of his sweat covered, well muscled, gently tanned body as he stood infront of the window, I'm guessing he just finished training. His baggy green pants gently hung off of his beautiful hips, his upper body turned in my direction as his hard amber eyes gazed at me with a deep frown placed upon his lips. His deep chocolate hair glistened as well as it was pressed flat along his neck, some of it covered by a light green cloth around his neck of which he was holding, and brushed just past his shoulder. Was his hair truly that long? I continued to stare at his form noting ever dip and curve of his body not noticing his displeased look.

"What do you want, Kinomoto?" he asked in an annoyed manner, instantly snapping me out of my spell. What in the heavens was that?

"U-umm, I-I bring you your o-options of clothing f-for your d-dance lesson today, Li-oujisama," I stuttered embrrassed that he saw me staring.

He made a small grunting noise as he walked over to his bed awaiting for me to lay out the articles of clothing. After walking only a few steps, I accidentally tripped over the carpet which was infront of the bed that had one of it ends turned up and the next thing I falling for the floor with a startled scream. I suddenly felt a hand grab me by the arm but in my worriedness I ended up pulling them down with me and I closed my eyes waiting to meet with the cold tiled floor. But it never came. I slowly opened my eyes, a small gasp escaping my lips as I looked into a pair of amber eyes which held astonishment in them.

There I lay on Li-oujisama's large bed with Li-oujisama himself straddling my hips between his strong legs. The hand he used to grab my arm held it firmly above my head as the other was on the side of it used to hold his upperself up as to not crush me. So there we lay in silence for a few moments just gazing into each others eyes as it felt like time had stopped entirely. I slowly, hesitantly moved my free hand that was pushed against his chest and brought it up to his face where I moved a few strands of hair that clung to his face from the sweat, immediately regretting my action. His face instantly turned from one of surprise to one of disapprovement as a deep frown now settled on his lips and he slid off of me, not even bothering to offer me a hand to help me up so I just laid there until he spoke.

"Get. Out." he said in a tone that made me cringe. He never spoke to me with such harshness... it... hurt.

"B-but, Li-ouji-"

"I said 'GET OUT'!" he yelled angrily at me. What had I done?

I just sat up in the bed and stared at his back as I soon felt the stinging feeling of tears that threatened to spill soon. And they did. I quickly stood up with a huff putting on my best straight face even though the tears continued to stream down my cheeks and I ran out the room. I ran, and ran, and ran until my legs felt like jelly and I had to stop. I started to sink to the floor, one hand clutching the wall to slow the speed of my descent and the other clutching my chest to slow the speed of my beatingheart, my hurting heart. My chest was heaving heavily as I stared at the floor, the tears forming a small puddle on the stone and I looked to my side. A garden? I ran outside? There was a garden beside me behind a row of stone arches, I heard the chirping of the birds and saw the beauty of the many exotic flowers, my mind instantly running off of Li-oujisama.

The bastard...

"Sakura?"

I turned my tear streaked face to look up at Tomoyo with my puffy red eyes. As soon as she saw my face she gasped audibly and kneeled down before me, gatehering my form in her arms, me being totally oblivious to the form behind her leaning against the wall.

She pulled back for me and looked over my face gently running her hand through my hair, "Oh Kami-sama, Sakura, what happened?"

Thats all it took. I burst into tears again as she held me. Why does he affect me so? Because he was my friend, thats why. Because I trusted him to be forever there for me, thats why. Because I 'm tired of being human, I want to be a swan again, make everything the way it was before I found this necklace. Grr, this stupid necklace! I instantly tore out of Tomoyo's hold and ran towards the lake, not caring if my legs still hurt and upon reaching it, I quickly tore the necklace from my neck, not caring for the hurt it put on it. I gave it a final glare and reeled my arm back, letting it fly forward and watched as the necklace escaped my grasp and soared to the water giving a final PLOOP as it hit the water. I felt a quick tearing at my heart as I fell to the ground again in pain and felt everything going black once again.

"Hey... hey, wake up."

I awoke the feel of someone nudging my side and let my emarld orbs to be revealed slowly as I gazed up into amber eyes. I scurried back with a start as I looked at Li-oujisama and his confused expression.

"Whats wrong with you? You go missing for days andnow I find you, I would have thought you were happy to see me?" He said in a hurt tone.

Missing? When? And why would I be happy to see you?

I looked down at my form and a shocked expressionnow replaced my confused expression. I was a swan again. My head shot up at the sound of movement and watched as he crawled over to me slowly as to not scare me off I guess. I let him come and let him hold me gently, slightly flinching as his hand brushed against my neck. He gave me a confused looked and moved the hand back down then up to raise my feathers along the back of my neck to show off a red mark along it.

"How'd you get this?" he asked as if expecting an answer. He sighed and shook his head as he looked at my dead expression. Dammit Li, why are you such an ass? You can't be kind to people you barely know, but you're all about the animals? I continued to stare as he gave me a small smile.

"Anyway, I have some news for you. Tomoyo found me a personal servant and wow, she's amazing! She's gorgeous and kind and so gently. Don't tell anyone, but I secretly follow her around the castle whenever I'm not ordering her to do something. I know I sound like a stalker or something, but she's just so interesting. She has marvelous dark jade-ish colored eyes and silky looking audurn hair with a bit of maroon in it, even though I've never touched it. I wonder if it's natural there... Anyways, she' so kind, like one time I found her in the garden tending to the wound of a fallen blue jay. It was amazing with hown gently she was with it. I wish she could be that gently with me, but I don't really give her a reason to. And just earlier today we were in the most unimaginable position, she tried to touch me, but I paniced and backed off..." he went on with all the things he's seen me do and I was amazed at how much he watched me in just the few days I was there. Wow...

I quickly ran for the lake not paying any attention to his calls and dove under water. I scanned the water for any shimmer, any what-so-ever. I quickly caught a flash in the water and swam over to it and saw my necklace partly covered with the dirt from the bottom of the lake. I looked for the chain part and upon finding it I started to tug, within a few moments I was swiming to the other end of the lake, knowing full and well that Li-oujisama was falling my brightness in the dark waters. When I reached the other end of the water I quickly flew out and flew towards the castle earning a many shouts from the other maids, servants, and chefs and headed in the direction of Tomoyo's room. I found her in a room in one of the towers brushing her now fully exposed violet tresses, instantly screaming at my sight.

Geez, these people act as if they've never seen a swan before.

I quickly descended to the ground and nudged the door closed, locking it afterwards then turned to a frightened Tomoyo and began to advanced her slowly the necklace dangling from my beak. She saw this and gasped.

"Where'd you get that?" she asked, her voice small as she looked at me as if waiting for me to attack so she could have her chance to scream.

I continued to advance towards her and laid the necklace at her feet. She leaned down and began to pick it up, her never breaking eye contact with me to make sure I wouldn't do anything then looked down at it in her hands then back to me.

"You want me to fix this?"

I nodded my head

She stared at me for a while before she sat down and began to work on the chain. We sat there in silence for a while and she fixed the chain as I just stared up at her then she suddenly smiled to herself and held up the necklace with a small laugh of approval. That was it! I got up and jumped for the necklace yanking it from her grasp and heading towards the other corner of her room then throwing it up and strecthed out my neck as I felt it settle against me, a bright green light suddenly engulfing me as I knew I was changing back into a human. After a while I opened my eyes to look at a shocked Tomoyo.

"S-Sakura, you're a... a..."

I nodded my head slowly and looked up at her with pleading emerald eyes, "Please don't tell, onegaimoushiageru."

She shook her head slowly, "Uh-uh."

"Neither will I,"

I spun around to come face to face with shimmering cerulean eyes that held amusement.

"Eriol-oujisama!" said Tomoyo with a somewhat shocked expression. I swaer she's gonna have a heart attack with all these surprises.

Eriol...? I've never heard of him.

"Sakura, this is Eriol-oujisama, Li-oujisama's brother, you must bow."

I looked at her questioningly then back at him, hesitantly bowing. Li-oujisama never mentioned he had a brother.

"And might I suggest you find some clothing as well," he advised giving off some amusement as he spoke.

I looked down at myself then blushed furiously. Che! I left my dress by the lake. I turned towards Tomoyo urgently as if verbally asking her to get me a dress. She hurried over to her dresser and quickly rumaged throw her drawer, finding a dress she tossed it at me. I quickly pulled the purple gown over my form and and blushed lightly.

'I can't believe it...' I mentally groaned

He placed a hand on my shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze and leaned close to me ear, "Don't worry, I'm not a hentai like my younger brother."

"Who you callin' a hentai?"

We all turned our head to look at Li-oujisama leaning heavily against the door frame, his chest rising and falling greatly and a layer of sweat covered his face.

"Have any of you seen a swan fly by?" he asked, swallowing to moisten his dry throat. Did he have any idea how rediculous he sounded?

I turned to look at Tomoyo who had a hand over her mouth to cover her smile and she shook her head. I then looked to Eriol-oujisama who took no effort in hiding his amusement and he shook his head as well. I turned back to him and saw he was gazing at my with a light frown and I looked down to cover my wide smile, shaking my head.

I heard him sigh and turned to look at Tomoyo for some reason and I pressumed he was going to leave, but I never heard his feet move. I turned to look at him to see his eyes wide.

"Where'd you get that Kinomoto?" he asked, elevating his chin in a guester to what was on my neck.

I raised my hand to my neck and fliched at the light sting that came. My eyes widened. It was still there!

"I, um... my... necklace caught hold of something while I was walking and, um... it roughly pulled at my neck, sir," I partly lied. The necklace really did pull at my neck though.

He stared at my for a while before nodding and walking out. I exhaled audibly and threw myself onto Tomoyo's bed and laughed for aome reason I don't know. I felt the weight shift twice and looked to my sides to see Tomoyo and Eriol-oujisama both smiling down at my.

"Eriol-oujisama, you saw my little conversion, right?"

He nodded.

I sighed and closed my eyes, "None of you will tell, right?"

They both nodded. I nodded as well.

"Eriol-oujisama, you seem nicer than the other Li's, why?" I started asking random questions.

He shrugged, "I'm just that way."

I sighed, "So you know I'm a swan, I've been here forsome years now and I've never seen you around the castle, why?"

"He's busy traveling," Tomoyo answered for him.

"Oh..."

The room was quiet for a while until I sat up in the bed and looped my arms around both their necks and laughed, "Arigatougozaimasu."

So now two people know of my secret, and I trust them with all my heart to keep it within them only.

Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Li, my new human friends.

There I sat in my in my carrige looking over a picture. There was a boy, messy russet hair and tawny eyes and a girl, raven black hair set in two pigtails and scarlet eyes... me. I had an arm wrapped around his neck and was leaning in to kiss his cheek while he looked at me with annoyance. This made me chuckle abit. I lightly ran my fingers over the boys image, a small smile creeping up onto my lips. Syaoran-kun...
