Worthy Love

Chapter 3:

---------------------------------------------------------

"Yes, it is time. I will now awaken the powers long buried deep inside of you and teach you to hone them. You are still too young, but strong enough to use your powers. My lady, from now on, I shall be your guardian. I shall be your sensei. And I shall be your power. You are ready. You will become the mistress of…" but before the voice could finish, itfaded.

"Umm…excuse me."

The voice of the lady Sakura had just saved, brought her out of her thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I wanted to know your name." the woman asked sweetly.

"Oh. I'm Sakura. Kinomoto Sakura. Nice to meet you." Sakura said with a smile.

"Oh! So you're the daughter of Fujitaka, am I right?"

"Yes. How did you-"

"Your father is my father's favorite smithy and merchant. My father travels everywhere, and will always come back with one of your father's items. He will do anything, i believe, to get a hold of your father's weapons or items."

"Oh?"

"Sorry, how rude of me. I asked your name and yet did not tell you mine. I'm Sasaki Rika. Nice to be of acquaintance." She said with a lit nod.

"Sasaki Rika? The daughter my father wanted me to meet? Is it really you?" Sakura said, eyes wide.

"Yes. So you've heard of me, then."

"Don't you remember? I think it was, maybe, 6 or 7 years ago that we met."

"6 or 7? Oh! Right! I remember it now. It was on the day I was celebrating the day of my birth." Rika said, one finger on her chin. "Yes! It was! How could I forget?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Who else was there? Do you remember Tomoyo-chan, my cousin?"

Rika nodded. "Yes, I do. The one who knew so much about clothing materials. She saved my mother's dress, I believe."

"Uh-huh! That's Tomoyo-chan for you!" Sakura let out a melodious laughter.

"Do you remember Yanagisawa Naoko and Mihara Chiharu?"

"Yes! Naoko-chan was the one with glass frames, am I correct? And Chiharu-chan was the more violent one?" Sakura smiled, remembering those two.

"I would believe so. How much I miss them now." Rika said a bit saddened.

As the two girls bonded and got reacquainted, Syaoran gaped at the two. They both looked like long lost angels, finally finding one another again. They both glowed with beauty. As Syaoran watched, another woman, much older, went over to the two ladies. She had long red hair and was dressed in formal, sophisticated clothing.

Syaoran decided to go join the ladies as well. He walked toward them as casually as he can, thinking of questions to ask them.

'I'll walk up to them casually and pretend to care if they were alright or not. Then, I'll just ask them for their names and if they lived here. Easy!' Syaoran thought and smiled to himself.

As he got near, he opened his mouth to ask if they were alright, but stopped when the auburn haired beauty pointed at him and said, "It was you!"

Confused, Syaoran said, "Huh? Me?"

Sakura marched forward and pointed at his chest. "I saw you dump that cart of fish. Why would you do such a thing? Do you know how much work people had put into catching all those fish?"

"Uh I…I'm sorry?"

"I'm sorry is not going to help much in this situation. You could offer labor to the person who's cart of fish you dumped. I think that would be a much better thing." Sakura said.

"What? Do you know who I am?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura looked at him and said determinedly, "I don't know who you are nor do I care, although I do care about the poor person who just lost their days worth of labor."

This made Syaoran a little angry, but who could ever get mad at someone like Sakura?

Syaoran opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the older woman with red hair.

"Excuse me, but I believe that Sakura here is quite right." She had a very strong and sophisticated voice.

"I do believe that Sakura-chan is right, also." Said Rika.

Syaoran looked at his victim. She was smiling at him sweetly, but what she said, he didn't quite agree. Actually, he didn't agree at all.

"Whatever. I said I was sorry. I'll be leaving, now."

As Syaoran turned to leave, his face met with that of a wet nose. The thing growled loudly and made Syaoran jump.

Pointing to the creature, Syaoran said, more like screamed, "What the Hell is that?"

"That's my Guar…uh pet. His name is…uh…Kero. Right Kero?" Sakura said.

Kero roared his approval and walked up to Sakura, nuzzling the top of his head on Sakura's thigh.

"Whatever. Just keep that thing away from me." Syaoran got up and started to walk away.

Eriol and Yamazaki had watched the whole trial and burst out laughing. As Syaoran limped to them, they laughed harder, Yamazaki falling on the floor in fits of laugher.

"Shut up! Stop laughing! It's not funny!" Syaoran yelled, angry that his plan was ruined.

When Eriol finally got control of his laughter, he took off his glasses and wiped them on his tunic, casually. Putting them back on, he said, "My dear sweet cousin, what were you planning on doing?" Eriol had already figured out the plan when he saw Syaoran walking toward the cart of fish. "It seems that your plan failed miserably. I'm sorry to say this, but your time is running out. Remember, you said that you could get her in one day. You better hurry. The auburn haired angel has taken your victim."

"Will you shut it? I know that already." Syaoran went to Yamazaki and kicked him on the shins. "Hurry up and let's go, will you?"

Yamazaki, still laughing on the ground, stifled his laughter as best he could and got up. Grinning widely, he stood up and said, "Yes, sir."

"Syaoran! Eriol! Yamazaki! Hurry!" Meiling yelled. "I'm in need of my beauty sleep and we need to find an inn, quickly!"

Syaoran looked in the direction of the yell and saw that Meiling carried six bags of new items and two bags of luggage.

"Guess her shopping is done." Eriol said.

"She needs lots of beauty sleep to get all those wrinkles out." Syaoran mumbled to himself.

"What was that, dear cousin?"

"Nothing. Let's go find an inn so I can get on with my victim."

All three followed Meiling with a slow pace, tired from the trip. As they neared the biggest inn, Yamazaki stopped and and grinned widely, saying, "Let eat! I'm starving. Hey, Syaoran, how about some fish?"

Yamazaki burst out with the laughter he had stifled earlier. Letting it all out, he said, "Man! That just made my day!"

"Shut up! Shut it before you find yourself unemployed!" Syaoran threatened.

Eriol stood back and watched the two fight. Smiling to himself, he wiped his glasses again and put them on.

(Inn)

"Touya! I'm back! And I brought guests."

"Oh, great! More mouths to feed! How am I suppose to tell Yudo that we have more people? He can't give everyone free food you know." Touya said.

Yudo had been a good friend of Fujitaka and Touya for as long as he could remember. He was like an uncle to Touya and Sakura, feeding and giving them rooms in the inn for free. When their mother had died, Touya and Sakura spent a year living with Yudo, for their father had to go on a trip to tell Nadeshiko's family about the news.

"I can bring any guest I want Touya! You don't own this inn, Yudo does! It's his decision."

"I'm your older brother, so you have to listen to me no matter who's inn it is." Touya triumphantly said.

"No I don't! I don't have to listen to a thing you say."

"Yes you do and you know it."

Sakura pouted and looked away. "So do you really want me to tell the guests to go away?"

Yudo came out of the kitchen and smiled. The two siblings were at it again. Always in arguments and never in peace.

'I Guess that's love for you.' He thought to himself as his smile widened.

"Yes!"

"Are you sure?" Kaho said as she walked in. Touya, seeing who it was, widened his eyes as his mouth fell involuntarily open.

Smiling she said, "It's been a long time, Touya. I see that you've become more handsome over the time. How have you been?"

Realizing that his mouth was hanging ajar, quickly closed it and said, "K-Kaho. I've been good. And you?"

"I've been well."

Sakura noticed that Yudo had come out of hiding and was standing with an apron on. Sakura walked to Kaho and linked her arm into hers. With the other, she hooked it in Rika and walked briskly to Yudo.

"Yudo-san, may I introduce you to Mizuki Kaho." Sakura nodded in the direction of Kaho. Nodding in the direction of Rika, Sakura said, "And this is my friend, Sasaki Rika."

Yudo smiled at the three ladies. "Nice to meet you both and welcome. Eat with us. I've been preparing dinner."

The word dinner reminded Sakura of the vegetables she had gotten from the market.

"Yudo-san! I forgot to tell you that I went to the market today and got some great vegetables for dinner." Sakura unlinked her arms from Kaho and Rika, walking over the table where she had place the basket of vegetables. Picking up the basket she brought it to Yudo.

"Here they are."

"These are beautiful! Big and plump." Yudo said happily.

"I got them for a good price and the squash for free!" Sakura said proudly.

"I'll go and cook them now. Does anyone want to help?"

"Of course." Chimed the three girls in unison.

"Great! This way." Yudo said as he led them into the kitchen.

Sakura stopped before going through the doors. Looking back at Touya, she stuck out her tongue and pulled down on one of her eyes.

"Why you little-" Touya said.

Sakura laughed and ran into the safety of the kitchen. Hearing the word "Kaijuu" called after her.

(Elsewhere)

A man dressed in pitched black robes walked toward an open window. As he stuck out his left arm, a huge crow landed heavily onto the outstretched arm.

Rubbing the bottom of the birds beak, the man said, in a cold unemotional voice, "Have you found them?"

The crow cawed loudly.

"Ahh. Good. They'll be mine. Soon." The man stuck out his arm once more to let the crow fly off. "Go and watched them."

As the crow flew away, the man laughed harshly.

"Mistress of the Moon. Soon, you will be mine. I will have the power I have searched and waited for, for so long." He smiled wickedly and walked back into the everlasting darkness.
