Summary: She was not important but he was. Sakura was not like the other maids she was more. He never expected to know her but Sakura had a secret that she is very different from others.
Recap
"You think I don't know that?!" Snapped Sakura. "You think I want to just leave and do whatever I have to do? Well bucko I have duties to attend to! Unlike someone here! Goodbye Syaoran! I hope you find a good wife! I hope you die happily!" Sakura yelled. Tears were going down her face by the millions.
Syaoran turned around and walked up to her.
"I'm so sorry…" He mumbled.
He leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Be safe." He turned around and this time didn't turn back.
"I love you…" Sakura said as she turned around to only be greeted with darkness.
"You know, princess, I always get what I want…"
"Always, princess. Always."
--------------------------
Sakura opened her eyes slowly.
"Ok it's time to awake the pretty princess." Sakura slowly stood up.
"Oh. She's already awake sir." A voice that Sakura recognized said.
"Alright."
"Hello, Ms. Sakura. How are you your highness?" Asked a voice.
"Where are you?" Sakura asked looking around the dark grey room.
"Here. Please answer my question."
"Where am I?" Sakura yelled ignoring his question.
"Um Henson?"
In a second the teenage Henson came out grinning.
"Hello, Ms. Sakura." Henson smiled.
Sakura glared at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Let me free!" Sakura yelled.
"No. You have a power within you, which we want." Henson said smiling evilly.
"Not a chance! Weirdo! Set me free this instant!" Sakura yelled feeling the rage flowing through her.
"No. Not in till you give us the power."
Sakura sighed.
"What don't you get? None of you are going to get my power! Not as long as I live!" Said Sakura over her anger limit.
"Then we'll just have to kill you." Henson took out a small sword.
"Can you fight?" Asked Henson grinning.
"You know what? I'm so MAD!" Sakura yelled and all of a sudden everything just stopped.
Sakura was the only who could move.
"Ok… What's going on here?" Sakura asked looking around.
"Little princess… Please come here." A sweet melodic voice said.
Sakura turned around and knew instantly she was not in the Li castle anymore. Beautiful plains of green grass and magical flowers swayed gently in the soft breeze.
Sakura saw a man and a little girl. The man had light black hair and Soft yellow-like eyes. He was dressed elegantly. The little girl who had black hair like her father and emerald colored eyes. She was wearing a plain yellow dress.
"Daddy, come play with me!" The girl giggled as she ran around in circles trying to get his attention.
"Not now! What did I tell you?" He barked at her. The little girl mumbled an apology as she stopped running.
He continued to stare at the familiar castle.
"Daddy, I don't feel so good…" The little girl's cheery face then turned ashen.
Automatically the father turned to look at his little girl.
"What's wrong, Nadeshiko?" He asked picking up the little girl.
Wait a second… That's my mom!
"I feel so tired… Maybe I'm getting si…" Before Nadeshiko could finish she fell limp in his arms and fainted.
"No! Don't let it take over you!" The man cried out.
Sakura closed her eyes. She didn't want to see anymore of it!
Sakura opened her eyes to be greeted with a cinnamon aroma.
Two people were whispering. Almost seemed like it was a dream. But Sakura could tell by the pain in her side, it was real.
She slowly stood up. She needed a plan… quick!
"So the sweet princess awakens! Let me see what we have in store for you. Ah yes your wonderful power." He laughed evilly turning to Sakura and walking toward her.
"We always know where you are. Always!" Henson started coming to her as well.
Sakura breathed deeply.
Please someone help me! Ok time to chant the spell.
She slowly let the magical tune leave her lips.
The tingle started again. It was sort of like a sign, if the powers working or not.
The gust of wind came to her aid. She mumbled softly the chant again.
Twinkle appeared on the dot and made twinkles come out of her miniature sized hands.
"Sakura repeat the words slowly and have your whole heart into it." Twinkle yelled.
"Right!" She let the chant take over her whole.
"Be strong! And don't be afraid!" Twinkle yelled back.
The two evil companions yelled in fear.
The black figure made a swift move and ended up behind Sakura.
"You think you can escape me? Well you have something else coming!" The black figure touched Sakura and made her feel weak.
"Stop! Leave me alone!" Sakura yelled out in pain as his cold hands dug into her skin.
"Not a chance!" Yelled the black figure.
Sakura stopped saying the chant.
"Sakura, save yourself!" Twinkle yelled as she made more twinkles come out of her hands.
Sakura shut her eyes and heard a humming noise.
"Silly little girl on the open wide road! Listen to the riddle that calms you to stone. Listen then you'll hear the voice you really want to hear… Come one and come all!" The voice sang gently.
Sakura tried to concentrate but the voice got louder.
"Many little things I have come to know, I see that everyone is good to show. But there you stand alone and terrified of the world, o shining of comfort and joy!" The voice sang merrily to her.
Sakura blocked out every other thing beside the voice.
"Come child and you will see what has come, to the world you once grown to love. See the terror of the streets and everyone bow down to the mighty o horrid song. To the mighty o horrid song!" Sakura took a deep breath then slowly opened her eyes.
To Sakura's horror, there was blood everywhere and people were dressed in rags and other unidentified things. People had dirt on there bodies and lots and lots of blood. A vial smell made its way to Sakura. Sakura tried with all her might not to gag.
"He did it! He got my power!" Sakura said with a horrible feeling making its way through out her body.
"Please follow me and you will see of your fate!" The voice sang to Sakura.
"Where are you?" Sakura asked looking around for anything.
"Please follow me and you will see your fate!" The voice repeated.
Sakura slowly turned around and saw a woman dressed in green.
The woman had an angelic carved face. Her skin was the color of snow; her cheeks were the color of pink rose petals, and her eyes how beautiful they were! The color of a pale grey showed wonderfully in her pupils. She had layers and layers of green clothing; shaping her body beautifully. Her raven colored hair floated around her making them look like wings.
"Chosen girl, please follow me." The woman said. Her musical voice leaving her to be used in a sad tone.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked the young woman.
"My name is Meiling. I have been sent here to protect you. To show you your fate." Meiling said gently.
"Please follow me." Meiling held out her delicate hand to Sakura; which Sakura took gingerly.
"Don't fret. I promise you I will do no such thing to hurt you." The girl said lightly.
Sakura held her breath as the girl led her on thin air to a place far away from the bloodstained place.
"There you are." Meiling's expression turned to delicate angel to sad almost instantly.
Sakura cautiously turned around and saw herself. She was on a pole. Her hands were tied to the pole about four hundred times. Her feet were tied also to the pole about five hundred times. A rope was around her tiny waist. Her face was ashen with about a million tiny cuts on it. Her outfit was completely dreadful! All she had was a delicate piece of blue cloth covering her chest and part of her legs. The rest was ripped up. Her expression was sad and glazed up. It seemed to Sakura that she herself gave up.
"They are torturing you. You are being hurt in many ways possible and impossible. Sakura to save yourself, you must escape right now! You must use all your power to make the evil monster disappear for a short period of time. Then for yourself, Tomoyo, and Twinkle to get out of there as fast as you humanly can. You must go on a journey far away from here and then you'll meet up with me. I will not look like I do now. I will look different and act different. But I will still have my name. Promise me you'll follow my orders!" Begged Meiling.
"I… promise. Where will I go?" Sakura asked breaking her gaze from herself.
"You will go to the Land of forgotten Dreams. There you will find me. Be careful, Sakura. Be careful." Meiling said with a small sigh.
"Um, how do I get back?" Sakura asked now noticing she was completely clueless.
"Oh right… Well you will have to sing a song of your return." Meiling said as though it was very simple.
"But what if I can't sing?" Sakura asked now nervous.
"I know you can! You must go!" Meiling said desperately.
"Alright…" Sakura said.
She closed her eyes and began to hear a tune.
Sakura opened her mouth.
"Somewhere out there I can find myself. Myself that wants to be free of someone else. Different things I plan to do and everyone is new. I must return to my time! My time! I must return to my time!" Sakura let the words flow out of her mouth steadily and easily.
In a flash Sakura could feel a gust of wind and the tingly feeling took over.
"Good she is finally awakening!" The black figure said with a laugh.
Sakura could feel her senses finally taking over.
"Be strong." Twinkle's voice came into her mind.
Right! I have to be strong!
Sakura said the chant again and this time felt her whole world tilt.
Things were being blown everywhere, people were screaming in horror!
"Sakura! Where are you?" Twinkle's voice rang out into the scream filled night.
"Here! Hurry!" Sakura opened her eyes and saw people running and the black figure fading slightly.
"Come on!" Sakura yelled once she saw Twinkle and ran for the door.
Sakura tripped as she opened the door and fell through.
"Come on Sakura!" Twinkle yelled as she helped Sakura as best as she could to stand up.
Sakura and Twinkle ran to the dinning hall where Tomoyo was.
"Come on Tomoyo! We have to go!" Sakura hissed out.
"Right!" The three girls ran to the double doors and swung them open.
"What's going on? Where are we going?" Tomoyo asked now beginning to be frightened as she saw people run around like chickens with no heads.
"We are going to the Land of forgotten dreams. All I know is we need to get out now!" Sakura yelled to Tomoyo.
"But Sakura! What about Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked as she stopped Sakura from running.
Sakura felt tears forming.
"Forget about him." Sakura whispered.
"What?! I thought you loved him!" Tomoyo said shocked.
"No! We have to get out now!" Sakura yelled as she took hold of Tomoyo's hand and started to pull her away from the now burning castle.
"Whatever you say." Tomoyo said sadly, knowing Sakura was going to start crying soon.
I have to be strong! I will not cry!
Soon rain started to pour down making there clothing stick to there skin.
"We'll stop here." Sakura said pointing to a dry spot under an oak tree.
"Ok." Tomoyo and Twinkle said together.
Tomoyo and Sakura toppled on top of the dry grass and tried to make themselves comfortable.
As Twinkle made her 'Twinkle-bed' pop out of thin air.
"I'm sorry I can't help with anything." Twinkle said quietly.
"Ya. Me too." Tomoyo said agreeing.
"What?! Are you guys kidding me? You guys just being here is enough! Promise me you guys will always be my best friends." Sakura said as she held up her two pinky fingers. Tomoyo smiled as she intertwined her pinky with Sakura's. Twinkle giggled as she did the same.
"Thanks." Sakura whispered.
As soon as Tomoyo's and Twinkle's head hit the ground they fell into a deep sleep.
Too bad it took Sakura longer.
I can't believe I just left Syaoran there to die! I can't do this!
Sakura let tears flow down her face.
A feeling; a warm feeling took its place inside of Sakura's heart.
Maybe he's still alive… Yes I have to believe he is! I will not give up! No not as long as I live! Someday Syaoran… Someday…
