I hope you all liked the first chapter! And pls review! If I do mot get 7 reviews, I will not continue! This is s+s a little E+T later! .Change of pov/scene . Flash back .Little noises (.) My interruptions
Sakura's Pov
Oh
no. They found me. I tried to escape, but they caught me. I was being
pulled away. "You must get ready for your fiancée."
My mom's voice rang out. I pulled away at the word fiancée.
"No! I will no marry a prince who thinks he owns me! I will
marry whom I want. All of those scums can't even beat me in a sword
match. My slave, Syaoran, can beat all of those sorry snobby princes.
And anyways, Syaoran is much better then them. If this prince cannot
beat me in a proper duel, I will not marry him! Got it? I am not
some toy!" With that, I stormed away. " Come, Syaoran, we
must prepare." As I walked by my eyes bore in to my mom's back.
Syaoran's
Pov
She must have
family problems! I wonder why she needs me. I feel sorry for her.
Being a prince or princess must be tough.
Sakura's
Pov
Marrying me
off like some toy! What the nerve. Maybe I'll make this one cry! I
hope Tomoyo is ok. I told Syaoran to clean and sharpen my sword by
tonight. You and Tomoyo will be serving me tonight. You bring me the
food, got it? I said in an irritated voice. I left him, nodding. Now
to check on Tomoyo.
Tomoyo's
Pov
I turn around
hearing someone enter the room. It's only the princess. She looks
terrible. What's wrong, I ask. I only get a sob. Princess? She tells
me about how her parents treat her. I say, your mom told me to make
you a formal dress for tonight. It is almost finished. Do you want to
try it on? The princess nods as she gets up, wiping her tears away.
She comes out. She says that I should make it bigger cause she will
be wearing something underneath. I nodded in response.
Sakura's
Pov
I love the
dress. Tomoyo is so good! Maybe I'll let her start her own store in
the palace! Hum. I wonder if I will need my duffin for back up. I'll
bring it any ways. Now I better tell Syaoran. As I walked down the
stairs, I hear my mom's voice. "No! Don't mention the wedding or
the marriage. She's not ready. If you say anything, she's going to
fight him!
Then my father's booming voice, "We must! Announce it today!"
"But!" my mom's voice tried to reason.
"No buts! Eriol, please get me a drink" My father's voice cut off.
I walked on, as Eriol, my dad's slave, came out. I smiled at him. He nodded his head in return.
Syaoran's
Pov
Why did her
mom get so mad at her for fighting? My mom would be happy if my
sisters got off the couch and did something. Questions buzzed around
my head. Creek I turned around in my fighting stance. I dropped
my stance when I saw it was only the princess. Should I ask her? I
don't want to be nosy.
Sakura's
Pov
"Princess
Sakura?" I heard Syaoran ask. "Huh?" "Well, why
do you sword fight? I mean, most girls I know would ether be afraid
of them or be afraid to break a nail, and why doesn't your mom let
you? My mom would love it if my sisters got out from in front of the
mirror and did something.
"Well.
Flash
Back (she's telling Syaoran)
A
couple of years ago, my brother and I were learning how to sword
fight. My mom was deadly afraid of swords, so she tried to keep me
away. Hen my brother, Prince Toya, was entered in a contest. He made
it to the last round, when the guy he was fighting, killed him. He.
died
End Flash Back
So now my mom is more then deadly afraid of swords. She almost won't let me see one, never will let me go near one. So I have to sneak out. I love sword fighting. It proves that girls can do what boys do. And it keeps me connected to my brother. I tried to hold back tears, but was very successful.
Syaoran's
Pov
Huh? I made
her cry? Oh, I feel so bad. Mental kick Why did I just say
that? Why and I feeling so, emotional now? I never really cared about
any one out side of my family, until now. Oh! I should help her. I
extended my hand out. She took it, smiling.
Sakura's
Pov
I must tell
him the other thing. When I noticed his out stretched hand, I took it
smiling. Na, I'll tell him when the time comes.
"Um. I need my duffin sharpened. Ok?" I said, not looking into his eyes. He looked at me with a blank expression. So I explained to him about the duffin.
" Every lady in the kingdom of Cherryblossom's has a duffin. The duffin looks just like an ordinary fan. But the screw part, is actually a button. When you press it, daggers pop out. You can keep them in and use it as a slicing weapon, or you can take them out and throw it at people. We don't want to walk around carrying swords, so we carry duffins. So, when I say fix up the duffin, this is what I mean. We also play games. But, I wont get into that. Oh! I better get going! You are to report to my room in 30 minutes. You will bring me my sword and duffin at that time! Thank you!"
Sakura's
room (still Sakura's pov)
As
I was brushing my hair, I hear a knock on my door. I went to answer
it. There were my two slaves, dressed in very fine clothes.
I asked startled," Where did you get the clothes?
Tomoyo replied,' the queen gave me cloth and told me to make something nice to wear! The queen is so nice!"
I told them what to do. Syaoran serves the prince, and Tomoyo serves me. Then we walked out, into the dining room. I smiled at my mom. I wonder who the looser is this time! I thought with a smirk on my face. As I sat down next to Mother, I saw a Prince head over.
He sat down next to me and asked," Is this whom I to be married to? She looks, delicious." Perv! I decided to keep quiet, until the dance, if I would last that long. The meal started. I felt something on my thigh. I looked down. It was hid hand. It will be sushi if it doesn't move. I smiled, as the hand went higher and higher.
Then in a low whisper I asked," Would you mind moving your hand, before I move it from your wrist?" My two slaves overheard and looked down with shocked glances. Syaoran looked like he wanted to beet the kid up. Then the soup came. Syaoran saw that he still didn't move his hand. So, Syaoran "tripped" and the soup landed on his lap. Syaoran mumbled quick thanks, as he picked up the pieces.
"SORRY?" the prince roared. The prince got up and kicked Syaoran in the side.
"That's it! I've had enough! You do not kick one of my slaves, and you do not own me! I want to fight you! Right here, right now! Do not use one of your knights! Ok?" I screamed.
"Huh? Girls can't fight! They can't even hold a sword properly." He said. I grabbed his shirt collar.
"You want a bet?" I spat.
"Fine! Let's go!" He said. I dropped him and bent down to check on Syaoran. The prince walked away.
"Are you alright, Syaoran?" I asked. He just nodded and handed my sword and duffin.
"Win one for me, kay?" He said. I nodded and headed out side. I shed my dress (remember, she had practice clothes underneath).
Oh! Who's going to win? I hope you like it! Please read and review!
