Chapter Two: The Spy
Previously…
That night, Sakura and Syaoran shared a bed together since they are now husband and wife.
"So, did you have fun today?" Syaoran smiled while hugging his new wife in bed.
"Yup, the best part was when you kissed me," Sakura smiled and leaned forward to kiss Syaoran and Syaoran deepened the kiss.
The day after the wedding, there was a whole fuss about an 'intruder' accessing the gates. Many guards surrounded the East gates. Farmers stopped their work and watched the commotion.
"Hey, you there, what are you doing there?" a guard yelled and caught the man. You look like one of those Yoshida's punks," The facial structures of the Yoshida's and his minions are very different to the facial structures south west of the land.
"Sir, I'm here to see the king, I have information about the Yoshida's and their followers," The stranger with jet black hair and dark brown eyes shutted his eyes tightly. The guard let go of him, and spoke icily,
"Fine, we'll take you there. I don't trust that look on your face," two of the guards grabbed his hands and dragged him forward and all the other guards went back to work.
Knock Knock
"Come in," The king inside the office spoke.
"Good day your majesty, I found this Yoshida punk wandering around the East gates sir, he says that he have information about the next attack," the guard spoke.
"Really?" Fujitaka asked.
The door opened suddenly,
"Father guess what, an intruder has…" Sakura looked around and saw the guards standing next to the intruder. "is in here,"
The queen and Syaoran walked in the room.
"Good Day, your majesties," the guards bowed.
They sat at their usual spots, so I presume that this person has information?" The queen asked.
"Yes," The guards replied.
"So spill it," Chihori walked into the room and closed the door and sat next to Sakura.
"Princess Chihori Yoshida," the intruder kneeled in front of her. "What are you doing here? Your parents are worried sick."
"Bull crap servant, and I am not a Yoshida anymore. Wasn't it obvious that I escaped?" Chihori spat venom.
"I- I- I" stammered the intruder.
"So tell us your information," Chihori started to get impatient.
"They are going to attack the south gates," the stranger looked down.
"Say what? Look up at us when you speak. It's rude, didn't they teach you any manners?" Chihori glared, "So rude, can't you see a king in front of you?"
"I apologise, they are going to attack the kingdom at the south gate," the intruder said bravely, looking into the king's eyes.
"Why south gate why not the north gate? It's much closer," Syaoran didn't like the intruder. There was something wrong with him. It's like he is giving us the wrong information.
"I don't, I just heard them say it," the intruder shrugged.
"Yeah, right," Syaoran said unbelievingly, "Tell the truth! I know your lying,"
"I'm not lying," the stranger denied.
"Right, we believe you, not," Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Look, I don't why you're here or what your intentions are, but, when you're here, we expect you to tell the truth, we all know your lying, you filthy bastard," Chihori yelled at him.
"Chihori," Nadeshiko said sternly,
"Sorry mother," Chihori calmed down.
"Mother? I thought your mother is-" the stranger looked confused.
"Well, I changed my surname. It is now Kinomoto the second princess of this kingdom. Not the Yoshida's kingdom,"
"Oh, you'll never be a Kinomoto. Your blood, your face and your soul will always be a Yoshida," the stranger spoke icily, and thought, 'Shell never be a Kinomoto, never!'
"How dare you say that to my sister!" Sakura was about to lunge at him but was stopped by her father.
"Stop fussing around, there's a war! Seriously you kids," Fujitaka started to get annoyed. "Look, since you look like a person from the Yoshida kingdom, can you become my spy?"
"Yes, your majesty, it would be an honour," the stranger bowed.
"Good, you start work today. Go back to the Yoshida kingdom and get as much information you can get," The king commanded.
"Yes your majesty," The stranger was about to stand up when the king asked him another question.
"What is you name?"
"Asao, your majesty"
"Well, Asao, do you know they are going to attack?"
"In five days," Asao replied.
"Okay, you can go. Guards please escort Asao outside to the gates," Fujitaka ordered.
When they were all gone, Fujitaka spoke,
"He's the only person that can spy on the Yoshida's," Fujitaka sighed, it was his only chose. He needed to know what the Yoshida's were up to.
"But, father, doesn't he seem a bit suspicious to you? I mean, south gate? Who in the right mind want to attack the south gate? Not only it's a quiet, but it doesn't have that much people living in it. It's a small town, who the hell wants to attack there?" Sakura explained.
"As he was a servant, don't servants run in and run out the room to do their chores? I mean he might be there for a second and ran out of the room, and when he ran out of the room, they probably changed it," Nadeshiko suggested.
"Maybe he's lying? Maybe is a spy for them," Sakura said
"We don't know, he might be telling the truth, but we can't be that sure. We might need to have guards around all gates. Not so much on the west gates though. The Daidouji guards will guard mostly that gate anyways,"
"I think most guards on the North gate, maybe the Yoshida's are trying to trick us. They may be using codes," Syaoran was deep in thought.
"Yeah… as in opposites, Yes mean no, no mean yes; North is South, South is North; East is west and west is East; so on," Sakura explained.
"Maybe, but we'll see…" Fujitaka stood up and got himself a glass of brandy.
That Evening in the Yoshida's Kingdom
"What do you have for me?" The king Yoshida questioned.
"I have a very interesting news, news that you won't approve of," a man spoke.
"News that we won't approve?" The queen asked and laughed, "Yes, go on,"
"Well, I know where Chihori for a starters. She's in the Kinomoto's Kingdom, but she's not a Yoshida anymore, she's a Kinomoto," the man spoke.
"WHAT?" the king roared. "First she escaped, and now this? Is she trying to put us in shame? How dare her!"
"You can't be serious? What about legal papers and all?" The queen asked.
"I don't know about that though, I didn't see them when they did the papers," the man said.
"Who cares about her? She was an outcast here, she didn't belong, it was pretty obvious that she'll betray us," Mika smirked.
"But, she still our sister, part of our family," Genji voice saddened.
"Well, I don't see you talking to her all the time," Mika remarked.
"so what," Genji said.
"Look here brother, if you care about her, run after her. If you do, you too will betray this family, and the throne will no longer be yours. I suggest you to stay. That no good Chihori was like the other people of the land, we are different to them, we are more powerful, and they are scared of us. After we take over the Kinomoto and the Daidouji's no one will stand a chance and if you back out of this, the glory will not be shared with you," Mika spoke fiercely.
Genji gulped.
"So what do you say, your in" Mika said sweetly then her voice turned into ice, "or are you out?"
"In," Genji whispered.
"So it's settled, Chihori is no longer in this family," The king said.
"Like she was," Mika rolled her eyes.
"But-" the queen was interrupted by her husband.
"It's settled," the king grew impatient.
"Excuse me your majesty, but I think, well what I have heard, that the Kinomoto's are going to ask the only son of the Li's to have an arranged marriage with Princess Sakura," The man informed,
"Well, we'll have to interfere with them and ask the Li's to help us to fight the battle with the enemy then," the king smirked.
"but, your majesty, it seems like the princess and the Li prince have a really good relationship," the man added.
"Well, we have to get Mika to marry him, then." The king smiled evilly, walked around his desk and wrote a letter to be sent to the Li's Kingdom.
Dear to the Li family,
I would like to request an arranged marriage with my daughter, Princess Mika and your son, Prince Syaoran.
Please reply as soon as possible
The Yoshida's Family
"Mika, soon you will be the heir of the Li Kingdom" The king spoke and Mika smiled evilly. But little did they know, The prince is already married to Princess Sakura.
The next day…
"What do they mean that he's already married? Why weren't we invited to the wedding? There was no news about him already being married," the king bellowed.
"What? What do you mean his already married? It can't be! I was suppose to be the wife!" Mika was angry, and looked like she was about to kill the wife of Syaoran.
"It also says:
… and if you think that we are going to join you in the war between the Kinomoto's and your kingdom, well you thought wrong. My son is married to Princess Sakura, and we will be helping them, unlike you selfish people that can't accept the fact that the Kinomoto's son has married a better lady than your daughter, Mika. From now on, we are enemies.
The Li Family
"How dare they insult us!" The king hollered.
"What? That Sakura bitch! How dare she, first she interfere me and Touya and now she's married to the Li bastard? That's unbelievable!" Mika enraged.
"It's Touya and I, Mika," Genji tutted showing how bad her language was.
"Shut up, you're just like Chihori. Like the other people!" Mika glared at him.
"Mika, do not speak to your brother like that!" Snapped her mother. Mika folded her arms.
"but… I give up," Mika sighed angrily, sat down and glared at her brother.
"Stop bickering, your giving me a headache," The king rubbed his temples.
"Well-" Mika was interrupted.
"I SAID STOP!" The king yelled so loud that it made the birds outside fly away.
"Mika darling, we're trying to get what you want. Revenge, but you can't just sit here and wait for it. You have to make it happen," her mother explained.
"Ok, after we attack the north gate…" Mika explained her idea which turned into a discussion.
Meanwhile in the Kinomoto's Kingdom
Queen Yelan, Duchess Meiling and the Li soldiers entered the South gate, and was being watched and admired by the peasants. A girl and a boy around 6 walked up to Queen Yelan with a bouquet of flowers but was shooed away by her guard.
"Please, loyal guard let the children come to me," Yelan spoke.
"Sorry, your majesty," the guard apologised and ushered the two children towards the Li queen.
"We like you have to have these flowers, your majesty of the Li kingdom," the girl said sweetly.
"It's was picked from our garden, Mrs Queen Yelan," The boy said with a big smile on his face. Yelan bent down and touched both of their faces.
"Thank you, children. These flowers are wonderful," queen Yelan smiled.
The mother of the two children ran out and bowed respectfully,
"Sorry, your majesty. I apologise for my children disturbing you. Deeply sorry,"
"No worries, your children are really sweet," Yelan bent down again, "You better go back to your mummy now," Yelan smiled. Yelan stood up and continued to walk to the Castle.
"Your majesty, would you like to go back in the coach?" The horseman who was leading the coach asked.
"No, sir, I would like to watch the scenery here," Yelan declined the offer.
As they reached to the castle, the guards and soldiers were sent to a place where they would be accommodated while Yelan and Meiling headed towards the King's Office where everyone was including Syaoran.
"Good day, I have brought Meiling, Syaoran's cousin, with me," Yelan smiled and Meiling entered the room. Syaoran's eye twitched,
"Good day everyone!" Meiling's eye scanned around the room and saw Sakura, Syaoran's new wife.
"So this is the girl your married to, huh, Syaoran?" Meiling smiled at Sakura, "She looks KAWAII!" Meiling's smile turned into a BIG grin.
"Sounds like Tomoyo" Sakura whispered to Syaoran.
"Worst than Tomoyo," Syaoran joked.
"What are you two lovebirds bickering about?" Meiling put her hands on her side.
"uh, nothing, Meiling" Syaoran smile innocently.
"Better be," Meiling glared at Syaoran and then turned to Sakura and smiled, "Wow, I don't see how you can put up with him."
