-«-Li Castle-»-
-Sakura's P.o.V.-
It's been a few days now since the little kissing "incedent"...
'If you can even call it a kiss, she was trying to suck the the living flesh off of his face!' I thought bitterly.
I was walking through some of the many halls of Li Castle seeing if I could possibly try to memorize my way around.
'I mean, he didn't even try to stop her! He was kissing her right back...'
I looked down to the ground as I continued to walk and stared at the pink heels I wore. Its funny, the Lis dress their servants so well and give them nice, warm, comfy rooms to stay in just for their public image, so that the servants say that the Lis are the best and are well suited for the people, they care for the people, the wish the best for the people.
"What a load of-"
"Kinomoto!"
My head shot up as I looked into a pair of cold crimson eyes, and aura of control and power emitted from her immensely. She was wearing a robe that seemed similar to Lady Yelan's, but the colors were different and the outfit was a bit smaller, more accurately, tighter. Her hair wasn't in her usual two pigtails, but was now let out completely and her locks fell to the back of her knees.
"Come," was all she said and turned, her hair swaying easily with each step.
I slowly followed behind her staying a few feet behind and waited for her to speak, but the silence continuedfor five minutes... which turned into ten, which turned into half an hour until it felt like we've been walking for an eternity. I accidentally tripped over my feet and tilted forward with a startled yelp. I looked back up to see Meiling staring at me with sad eyes that made a bewildered expression appear on my face.
"How do you do it, Kinomoto?" she asked which made me even more confused.
"Do... what, Princess Rei?"
An angered expression took over Meiling's sad one, "Don't play dumb, Kinomoto! Or should I call you Sakura? Is that not what Syaoran calls you?"
This surprsed me, "How do you know what he calls me?"
"Syaoran... he just seems so at peace with you, like it's the very thing he lives to do is be with you. But around me, he so cold and distant, like he would give anything to be away from me. We talk, but he does nothing more than grunt or reply shortly, but you, he gives long and meaningful answers, he even asks the questions sometimes. He smiles at you!" he expression was a battle between envy, pain, anger, sadness.
"How do you get him to love you?"
This made my eyes widen and I turned myhead to the side.
"H-he does not love me, Princess Rei. He is a prince, I a servant, it is forbidden,"
"And do you really think love cares for such things? Sakura, don't be so naïve! He cares for you so much..." I sawher eyes glaze overwith tears and they fell swiftly making two small salty streams across her face. He covered her face with both her hands and turned of in the directions we were headed and I watched her fade into the darkness silently.
I can't believe her, Li cares for me, but love?
I startedwalking along the path to my room just lost in random thought as I started to accend the stairs of one of the tall towers not noticing the chestnut-haired devil standing infront of my door.
I reached out a hand to grab hold of the door handle only to come across well muscled and warm flesh.
"Sakura..." came his silent voice awaiting my answer.
He received none, I only turned my head to the side not wanting to look up at him. I just couldn't bring myself to look at him directly. He took the hand that was across the lower side of his stomach and slowly brought up to his lips for abutterfly kiss.
"Sakura... Sakura, I need to talk to you. I know you've been avoiding me and I'm sorry about the other day but mother was there, I couldn't just push her off and run to you. I know that must have hurt, I'm truly sorry, I don't want this to affect us..."
''Us'? there's and 'us'?' I thought trying to drown out what he was saying. He has no idea how much I hurt, even if he said he was sorry.
"Please Sakura... say something..." He said pulling me closer to him as he began to lower his lips to my.
Say something?... All right, I will...
A low growl escaped my throat as I pushed him from me roughly, "Don't touch me!"
I looked up into his confused amber eyes that were wide with shock.
I turned on my heels and started to walk away, but I suddenly felt a strong grip on my wrist.
"Sakura wha-"
"I SAID DON'T--"
SLAP!
The sound of skin knocking against skin noisily echoed through the quiet halls which were dimly lit, but I could clearly see the bright red imprint of my small hand against his cheek. His head was turned to the side from the force of the unexpected slap and my hand was only a few inches away.
"...Don't touch me..."
After a few moments I heard another growl, but it wasn't from me, and a fierce grip took hold of my wrist againpushingit close to my face, causing me to wince in pain due to the angle it was at. My eyes grew wide as I gazed into Syoaran's eyes.
"Do that again... I dare you," he hissed venomously as his face came closer to mine, settling only a few centimeters apart.
The color from my cheeks swiftly drained as he spoke to me in his lethal tone of voice. What would he do?
-«--»-
-Syaoran's P.o.V.-
My head was twisted at a painful angle from the blow. I couldn't believe she would do that to me. I wonder what I had done? Well, beside kiss Meiling back, but it was only for the sake of my mother!
But when she hit me... I don't know, something just...
...snapped.
I let out a sinister growl that I've never used on anyone in my life, just too unlike me and grabbed her small wrist in a way that I'm sure would have fractured it, roughly pushing it to the side of her face. I peered down at her with such intesnsity that my gaze could have burned a hole directly through her head. I lowered my head to hover just a few centimeters or so above her face, and speaking in a harsh, venomous tone.
"Do that again... I dare you,"
I don't know what that was about, it was just a slap... but I never expected it to come from her of all people. Sure I loved her... but that's no reason to strike me-
'Wait, did I say I loved her?' I thought in astonishment.
I looked back down at her and her expression nearly made my heart stop dead. There she was, her eyes so wide, her face was ghostly pale as if she were dead. I heard a small whimper from her as I shifted my arm a bit, like she was expecting me to breaks her's.
'Damnit, Syaoran, what did you do...' this thought coming out more like a statement than a question.
Islightly loosened his grip on her wrist and Sakura took this oportunity to run, run as fast as her petite for could carry her.I raised a hand and opened his mouth to call out to her, but nothing came out.
'Even if I did get to her, what would I say? I'm sorry? That just wouldn't do...' I sighed as I turned and leaned agaunst the door, slowly sinking to the floor with my head tilting back.
-«--»-
-Sakura's P.o.V.-
I was blindly running through the halls that were only lit by torches along the walls, not caring what direction. I started to slow down as I came across a hall. You either go left, or you either go right. I fell to my knees with a thunk! and stared blankly at the wall ahead.
'I hit him...' was all I could think, 'I can't believe I really hit him. What was I thinking?'
That he was a lieing backstabber who cares nothing for you emotions. Its his little play thing in his eyes, came a voice in my head.
'No, he loves me, I know he does-'
Well if he loves you so much, why'd he kiss her, huh? And how come he's never said it before! yelled the voice angrily at me.
Actions speak louder than words, Sakura, and his actions were pretty loud to me... Let's face it, you and I both know he cares nothing for you or you emotions. In fact, the only thing he likes to do with them is toy with them.
This caused me to cringe against the corner I had scooted up against.
Sakura, you need to stop this now before it gets too out of control, turn away while you still can, came the voice softly in a soothing manner
Turn...away
-«--»-
"Yes, little Sakura, turn away while you still can. Leave my Syaoran be. Never be near him. Never be with him. Be forever alone. You must remember, Kinomoto, you are nothing more than his unworthy servant, he is much to good for the common, pathetic likes of you. Turn away before it's too late... for you that is..."
The quiet voice echoed eerily in the darkness of the room as a pair of dark eyes gazed ominously at Sakura through the portal.
-«--»-
Yes... I must turn away from him before I am hurt... hurt by his lies and his false feelings for me.
I must not get too involved with him for I am nothing more than a servant, and he a royal prince.
I must turn away from Syaoran Li.
-SL-: Holy-crap that took long, I'm sorry y'all if that took too long. I'm trying, really. Well anyways, Ja!
