A; n/ hey again! Long time no update right? Lol sorry, I've been writing some other fan fictions, and I've been too engrossed in them... anyone that likes a bit of comedy, check out my other fan fiction, 'Fitness Instructor' you'll probably like it…anyway, a quick review of last time, then on with the story!
She pushed open the door and stood back to allow her father entry. King Fujitaka out a gasp. Before bellowing "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
Sakura sighed, well, at least she wouldn't have to deal with it. The advisors began whispering among each other, Chelsea's mouth hung open, whilst Yamazaki looked as if he was about to cry.
The advisors spoke first, they spoke to the king.
A fat advisor began "Your highness, hang them in the stocks."
"No sire, torture them." The one that Sakura thought looked like a rat interceded.
"Lock them in the dungeon!" another cried
Sakura spoke.
"Father, send the messenger away and we'll deal with Yamazaki later, no doubt it was his fault."
Fujitaka scratched his chin. He thought for a while.
"Yes, Sakura you are right. Be done with it." He said to some guards that had come once they had heard the king shout.
ON WITH THIS CHAPTER (Finally…) DAMMIT!
Chelsea was left in the room, whilst two guards dragged a naked Yamazaki away with them. Just to humiliate him.
Sakura knew nothing of this; otherwise she would have at least let him put some clothes on.
Chelsea slowly put her best clothes on, in between sobs. She had blown it this time, that was for sure, but what would prince Li say about it? She dreaded to think about it.
Maybe she could lie…blame it all on Yamazaki, unfair, but it was a way that she could save her own skin.
She had no choice, she would have to lie.
I'm so sorry…I didn't even know his name.
Chelsea wiped away a hot fat tear that was rolling slowly down her face.
She left the room, wiping her tears away hurriedly. She had no idea where to go, until she bumped into Sakura after wandering around the entire castle about three times.
"Where are you going?" Sakura asked in a friendly way.
"Erm…well, I wanted to know whether I had permission to go…"
"Come with me first." Sakura finished with a caring smile.
Chelsea tried to return it, but failed and so gave up.
She followed behind Sakura; head hung low and her feet dragging slightly.
Chelsea didn't pay any attention as to where she was going, soon she walked into Sakura, apologising quickly.
"Sorry, Princess."
Sakura laughed.
"Don't worry about it!"
Chelsea was bewildered. How could a beautiful young princess like Sakura, kill so many people? Chelsea was sure that Sakura must have had a double.
Chelsea eventually looked up and noticed a large, solid wooden door in front of them, this was the reason why Sakura had stopped, obviously, they were going to go in.
Sakura removed a long, thick gold chain from under her clothes, on it there was a key shaped like a musical notes, with notches so fine, they were barely visible.
Sakura placed the key in the lock and twisted. After three turns, the door opened with a gentle click.
The smell engulfed Chelsea immediately, it was them most beautiful smell Chelsea had ever known. Upon entering (after Sakura) Chelsea noticed several large flowers adorning the room, in shades of pink and purple. They were like lilies, but larger and their scent was more intricate, more enticing.
The room itself was magnificent, (btw Sakura moved out of her old room ages ago, this one is different) The walls had been painted with light shades of pink and purple, there was a large tree on the far wall, its trunk was a light brown and its leaves were gold and red. There were rainbows; birds, flowers, woodland creatures, grass and a gorgeous clear blue sky. This painting took up the whole far wall, but below it was a queen-size four-poster bed, yet again, one half pink and the other purple.
Chelsea was in awe; it must be great to be a princess.
Sakura sat on the edge of the bed and patted next to her, Chelsea took this as a sign to sit down.
She perched herself on the end of the bed, hands in her lap. She sat bolt upright.
"I like your clothes, who's your tailor? I'd like to meet them. Maybe get them to make me some clothes."
It was obvious that Sakura was just trying to start a conversation, but Chelsea was too petrified to say anything.
"Ok, I won't allow anything to happen to Yamazaki, I bet you're both as responsible as each other. These things happen, the first day I met Tomoyo… we've been together ever since."
Chelsea's head turned to face Sakura sharply.
"But isn't Tomoyo a girl's name?" Chelsea stammered, she slapped a hand to her mouth afterwards.
Sakura waved her hand.
"It is. But I love her more than any man. No man would ever be able to love me as much as Tomoyo does."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, and I don't mean to again…but with all due respect, why am I here?"
"I just wanted to talk. The prince is impatient as ever I assume, so I won't hold you here any longer than today. You will tell the Syaoran family that there was a security breach, and no one was to leave the castle until it had been fixed. You will return with my acceptation, I also declare that each may only have one weapon, I shall write this down, don't worry."
"My lady, I am going to betray Li Syaoran, right now. Because of your sweet nature, Li Syaoran is going to use a samurai sword your highness. I see your sword in the case over there, the samurai sword that he will use shall easily cut through that. Unless of course, he decides to be true to his word and make this a fair fight."
Sakura gave her a mischievous smile.
"My sword, was made by the samurais, it is slightly curved, but it's practically unnoticeable, it is the same as a samurai sword, but cleverly disguised. You see, but you do not see, look closer."
Chelsea was amazed, how a girl could know so much about swords, could be a trained merciless killer and yet be so compassionate.
"I wish that you could stay here, and remain as my servant…but that's not possible. You belong to Li Syaoran and I am unable to change that. I'm sorry for however he has treated you. But if I win the fight in two days time, then I shall demand for you to live here. That is however, if you want to. I shall not be offended if you wish to stay In the Li castle."
"I would love to stay here!" Chelsea threw her arms around Sakura and let go as soon as shed done it, flushing red.
Sakura smiled, it was graceful and beautiful and showed her compassion.
There was a knock at the door, but before waiting for a reply, Tomoyo entered.
She curtsied to Chelsea, before smiling at her.
"I'm Tomoyo, I've seen you, and I made you a dress. Sakura promised me she would get you to live here, so if you do, then the dress is yours."
Chelsea began crying her joy.
Tomoyo gave Sakura a brushed kiss whilst walking past her.
"Tomoyo can you get Chelsea some things ready while I write Li a letter?"
"Of course!" she said happily.
Tomoyo took Chelsea's arm in hers and led her out of Sakura and Tomoyo's bedroom, leaving Sakura by herself.
Tomoyo walked along the corridor singing; to Chelsea she had the most beautiful voice that shed ever heard.
"Oh my gosh! The princess of song! I heard about you, how the Kinomoto army wiped out your entire family; you were left alive and was courting the princess. I misheard though; I thought you were the prince of song."
"You are correct, it was told to many people that I was a male, very few knew the truth. Anyway, we're going to get you some food, clothes, a new bag, riding clothes, a horse and a dagger."
"Erm…thank you, your highness."
Tomoyo giggled "Just call me Tomoyo! First things first, we go and get a dagger."
After arriving at the weapons room, Chelsea was allowed to choose, she chose a beautiful one, set in with a ruby stone.
(A: N/ God I'm so lazy, I can't be bothered to describe the other things properly, so I'll just say that she got a beautiful chestnut mare, a small satchel filled with apples, dry beef, cheese and some bread and some light beige clothes.)
Sakura met them by the stables; she held a scroll in her left hand. Chelsea had never noticed before but on Sakura's wedding finger was a white gold ring, set with a musical note, with a pink diamond at the bottom (you know, the round blob). She glanced over at Tomoyo's wedding finger too, there was another white gold ring, but this one had a sword instead of a note and at the hilt of the mini sword, there was a purple diamond.
Sakura handed the letter to Chelsea, "The guards will see you out, I would, but I must train and Tomoyo must get to her singing. I do apologise."
Chelsea bowed to Sakura and Tomoyo in turn. "Thank you for everything."
Chelsea left, the guards escorted her to the forest, and once again she was alone. She drew her dagger, and began her journey back to the Li castle. She had not feared the forest on her previous journey, but now she was afraid and she didn't know why.
A:n/ Ok, that MUST be the worst chapter I've done, I'm sorry, I haven't updated in so long, I think I've lost my style…which isn't good. Anyway, let me know what you think….and I PROMISE that the fight will be in the next chapter.
Till next time! Please R+R!
Love Vicks
