Chapter 6;

When Syaoran awoke the next day, he found that his pet nightingale was back again.

"Where do you keep disappearing off to?" he asked as the two of them walked down the hallway to the dining room. But Sakura wasn't paying attention. Her mind kept drifting to thoughts of the previous day and she found herself in an extraordinarily jubilant mood. She was singing to herself, the first song that had popped in her mind.

Syaoran looked puzzled, "What's going on?" he asked more to himself than the bird.

Flashback

"S—sorry, goodnight," she spun on her heels and tore off leaving a very embarrassed but a sort of happy Syaoran behind.

He couldn't believe that she had actually hugged him! He felt so happy that for the first time in his life he had wanted to sing and dance with joy.

He shook his head vigoursly and thought to himself, 'What's wrong with me' Syaoran tossed and turned in his bed unable to sleep. He blushed every time he thought of her sweet cherry blossom scent, her bright emerald eyes, and her bubbly voice.

End of flashback

Syaoran felt his cheeks burn again. And as usual his sisters burst into the hallway chorusing "Good morning!"

"Good morning," he said trying to sound gruff like he usually did but instead his voice came out as a squeak.

His sisters looked at him surprised. Feimei peered closely at him, "Hmm…you're acting different today,"

"What do you mean?"

Sheifa replied for her sister, "Well every day it is…" she cleared her throat, " 'Good morning!'" she said in a huffy tone imitating him, "and today it was, 'Good morning'" she said with an exaggerated squeak.

"So what?" Syaoran said turning away, "Maybe I have a sore throat,"

"Or maybe, you were thinking something and we interrupted you," Fuutie said eyeing him suspiciously.

"No way!" he yelled.

"Girls I think little bro has a crush on someone and was probably thinking of his beautiful angel," Fanran said with a know-it-all glint in her eye.

At once Sakura's face popped in his head and to his utter dismay but to the delight of his sisters he blushed, but quickly bent down hoping they hadn't noticed. But his sisters were sharper at noticing stuff like that.

"He's blushing! You hit the nail on the head Fanran!" Feimei squealed.

"So we were right! That's where he must have disappeared to last night. His horse was missing remember," Fuutie declared to her sisters and the four of them rounded on poor Syaoran.

"So tell us, what is she like?"

"Is she pretty?"

"What color eyes does she have?"

They pounded him with questions. "It—it's not wh—what you think," he stammered. Fortunately a bell rang in the distance telling them that they were late for breakfast.

"Oh shit!" Sheifa cursed, "We're late for breakfast. Let's continue our conversation later little bro,"

Syaoran sighed in relief as they disappeared. He began wondering if his sisters were monsters in disguise, how quickly they change! He looked around for his pet, Sakura, who had been frightened had perched herself on his head burying herself in his autumn and sandalwood scented hair. She felt a pair of hands lifting her,

"There you are," Syaoran said stroking her. He placed her back on his shoulder and dashed off to the dining room.

'I could get drunk in your smell' Sakura thought dreamily and then shook herself. 'Bad thoughts Sakura,'

She jumped off his shoulder and began flying next to him because she wanted to stretch her wings.

"Sorry," Syaoran apologized as he entered the dining room ignoring his sniggering sisters.

"Where were you last evening Syaoran?" his mother asked.

"I just went for a ride mother like I usually do," he replied as casually as he could.

"Very well" his mother replied and nothing more was said.

(Time gap)

At sunset Sakura settled down near her cave and opened her mother's diary. (She hadn't dared to go to the secret garden because she didn't want to meet Syaoran) Sure enough just as her mother had said words began to appear on the diary,

'I'm innocent

Just like you

I'm sweet and lovely

Just like you

I'm like the pure love in your heart

And I'm your good luck gift

Who am I?'

Sakura stared at this strange message, "A riddle," she murmured to herself. Sakura read the lines again and concluded that she had to find a flower. She decided to go to the mystic valley, and then it would be easier to find out which flower it was.

She walked quickly towards the mystic valley, racking her brains so many flowers mean innocence… but what about the other lines. Finally having arrived in the mystic valley she strolled around looking at the flowers around her.

"Hey Freesia means innocence, so is it the flower I'm looking for?" she wondered and walked over to the next flower bed and exclaimed, "Orange blossom means innocence too! Damn this is getting me nowhere I think I'll ignore the first line for now."

She looked around for half an hour and was about to give up but suddenly she tripped falling into a flower bed. She groaned and sat up rubbing her head.

"Hey these are white carnations!" she cried out. She scrambled out of the bush and picking up her dropped lantern and her diary she glanced at the lines once more and remembered that her mother had once said that most flowers have more than one meaning. White carnations represented innocence, sweetness, pure love and people also believed that it was a woman's good luck gift. She had found it! The first flower!

"So the first flower is a white carnation. Am I right?" The page in the diary let out a faint glow as though telling her she was right.

"What do I do? Pluck one?" the diary glowed again and she supposed that she was right. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard her hand tracing over the flowers. She suddenly felt a strange presence in one of the flowers and quickly plucked it. She opened her eyes and the diary began glowing again a little more brightly this time and the words disappeared. Sakura cheered in joy. She had done it! She had finally found the first flower

But she felt all the energy drain out of her and she slumped down feeling a little dizzy. She opened the diary once more to see if there was more writing in it, but there wasn't. She shook it hard but it was no use. She sat down on her knees and prayed. She suddenly heard a familiar voice in her head.

'Sakura'

Mom! Where are you, mom?

'Listen Sakura I don't have much time. First congratulations on finding the first flower,'

What about the other ones? How will I find them?

'Patience, Sakura. The diary's magic is directly connected to yours. You've already drained your magical powers finding this flower. When your powers are strong again then more words will appear in the diary. Good luck Sakura,'

Thanks mom.

She sighed and got up feeling a little nauseous. She placed the flower and the diary in her pocket and carrying the lantern, she staggered back. She reached the secret garden in the palace and unable to go any further she had decided to take some rest.

"Sakura?"

She turned around groggily to see blurred amber eyes. Her dizziness caught up to her and she fell down but he caught her before she hit the ground.

"Sakura! What's wrong?" he asked sounding a little worried.

"I'm just a little tired Syaoran," She whispered burying her head in his shirt. She sunk on the floor dragging her with him.

"You seem more than tired to me. Do you have a fever?" he asked placing his hand on her forehead but it wasn't very hot.

"I'll be fine," she mumbled getting up and walking over to a nearby tree and sitting down leaning her head against it. Syaoran ran up to her and sat next to her, worry plastered on his face.

"Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes," she replied. "I'm fine," and then her stomach grumbled causing her to blush embarrassedly.

He smiled and said, "I'll get something to eat," And he came back in a short while catching a tray of bread, butter and a glass of water. Sakura ate the food silently and drank the water. She stretched feeling much better.

"Thanks Syaoran, I'm feeling much better now,"

"Glad to hear it." He said setting down the empty tray and sitting next to her. She was feeling better but not completely well. She stifled a yawn and leaned her head on his shoulder making him blush heavily.

"The stars are so pretty tonight, aren't they?" she asked slipping her arm in his.

"Mmm…" Syaoran muttered blushing.

"Uh…excuse me I'll go and place these things back," he mumbled.

"S-sure, um…sorry," she replied blushing.

He got up and ran off clutching at the tray he'd brought. What's up with me? I keep feeling like this whenever I'm near her…Is it lo……

"Syaoran," his thoughts were interrupted by a voice, which was strangely familiar.

"Mom!" He jumped as he came face to face with queen who was wearing a frown.

"What are you doing at this time with that tray?"

"Uh…I just felt hungry, I guess,"

"Which is surprising because you were unexpectedly red during dinner and you had an enormous amount of food, at least five times more than you're regular appetite. And to me it seemed as though you never even tasted anything,"

"Of course I did!" he replied trying to sound indignant. Why did God make mothers so damn sharp?

"Oh and what did we have tonight?"

"Uh... Italian food?"

"Actually it was French," his mother replied with a smirk.

"Ugh! Don't ask stuff like that! This is not a police interrogation."

His mother sighed, "I know. But I won't ask anymore. Just go to bed this instant, I heard that you're sneaking out pretty often these days and that's not good for health. You'll have dark shadows under your eyes due to lack of sleep,"

"You're that one cares about beauty not me," he muttered.

"Ahem," his mother gave him a glare and tapped her foot impatiently.

"I get the message. Good night mom," he replied walking back to his room.

Once he was out of sight, the queen chuckled to herself. I'm beginning to think that my son has finally fallen in love. So miracles do happen…

Syaoran sighed loudly as he got in to bed. Sakura was probably still waiting for him. "Sorry Sakura," he mumbled before falling asleep.

The next day he found that his pet nightingale was on his bedside table, carrying a note. She chirped loudly and placed the piece of paper on his hand. Inside it was written in neat handwriting.

'I saw you talking to your mother last night, Sorry if I got you into trouble,

Sincerely yours

Sakura,'

He smiled as he read the note. But his smile turned into a puzzled frown, 'How did she know about my pet?"
