Angel Eyes'
Chapter 2: Meeting your Eyes
"Grandpa Geneto, grandpa Geneto!" A now 19 year old Sakura yelled while running to her house, her auburn waist length hair trailing behind her with the wind. She made it inside, kneeling beside the bed, where Geneto had been for weeks. He opened his eyes tiredly only to see bright emerald ones, making him smile weakly. "What's the matter, little one?" Her smile widened, revealing that it was good news.
"They're here! They have finally come after all these years! Can I go? Please?!" Sakura said pleadingly. His eyes darkened like never before, scaring her a bit.
"No, you can't let them see you!"
"I'll take my cloak! I'll put the bandana! Please let me go see them!" Her pleading eyes were convincing him as he sighed. "Fine but promise me you won't show your hair, face, eyes… nothing! Got it?" She smiled happily, nodding various times. She quickly hugged him, with caution, and kissed his forehead. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" Was the last thing he heard from her as her figure disappeared.
He suddenly felt a pang on his chest, clutching his heart. "Argg…w-well, at…at l-lease… s-she won't s-…s-see me…suff-ering…arg…(pant, pant)…Ying-" His eyes widened , "Faahhh…"he said as his last breath, his hand dropped to his side, eyes closed, his skin paled and cooled, yet there was a small smile on his lifeless body
-o-o-o-o-Town plaza-o-o-o-o
Sakura made it to the downtown plaza after an hour of walking. There were so many people there on both side of the street, making it difficult for her to see anything. Frowning, she tried to make it to the front for a better view, but no budge, making her frown deeper. Damn people… I can't see anything. If I didn't have my cloak on… no, I promised Grandpa Geneto. She looked around for another way, but nothing. Well, I'll just have to push myself to the front. With that determination set on her eyes, she started to push her way in.
"Excuse me…(ow)…Pardon me… (HEY!)...coming through…(Watch it u little pipsqueak!)…Sorry sir….(What are u doing?)… Passing by ma'm." She was almost there, she could see a bit, yet it wasn't enough.
"(Growl) Move it will ya!!"
"Don't talk to me like that, girlie."
"(sweat drop) S-sorry…"
"Hmph…crazy chick…"
"(popped vein) Excuse you, fella"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
This was her mistake, the bald guy suddenly stood up, making her feel really tiny. He was like 6-11 and was very wide in muscles. Why, she barley made it to his chest. She didn't know what to do or what to say, she only prayed that he wouldn't kill her.
"They're here!! Here they come!!"
Sakura's eyes left the "Big Guy" as she slipped away from him to the front row. It was like a parade in celebration, all guards on their horses and at the back of everything was a carriage brought by two white horses. Inside, There was a lady with black/wine hair, pulled up in a weird hairdo, her eyes were black, a piercing black. She was dressed in a n Emerald velvet dress, that hugged her womanly figure, and from the look of it, it was a little bit too tight.
Sakura giggled as she took her eyes off the lady to see the man sitting in front of her. He had a chocolate brown hair tied in a pony tail. It looked to her that his hair was long, very long, longer than hers perhaps. His eyes were a soft amber/brown color, smiling warmly to the people, not like the lady in front of him, who didn't smile or look at the people, yet she kept whispering to the man.
-Inside carriage-
"But Xi, where is he? He should've been here a long time ago." The woman hissed a bit angrily to her husband, who kept smiling and ignoring her.
"XI!!" She almost yelled furiously, making him wince.
"Yelan, (sigh)… Don't worry about Syaoran. He's 20 yrs old, he must be at the end of this with some of his guards buddies. Try not to worry, my love." Xi said still smiling. At least she calmed down… where could that boy be? His thoughts were forgotten when he saw a girl in wine cloak and beautiful piercing emerald eyes look at him in curiosity, before looking away to the end. His smile turned into an amused one, closing his eyes and sitting straight.
Yelan noticed this as she looked at him questioningly. "Is something wrong the matter, dear?"
His eyes opened briefly towards his wife. "Nothing… I just thought I saw something." So, she's alive… she looks so much like her mother, yet like her father. It's best if I don't mention anything… yet.
-Sakura-
She tore her eyes from the man in the carriage as he looked at her. Why was he looking at me that way?
Guards kept coming after the carriage, yet something caught her eyes, or someone. A guy with messy brown hair and amber eyes, dressed in a green Chinese style long sleeve silk shirt and black pants, on top of a Black horse. He was laughing and talking to a blue haired guard with blue eyes and glasses.
Sakura blushed seeing his smile. Wow, he's so handsome…gasp… what am I thinking? Suddenly, looking back at him, their eyes met. Her breath was caught on her throat, feeling a tingly sensation in her stomach, as his eyes pierced into her soul. What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?! She was panicking inwards telling herself to look away when he finally looked away, because the guard was saying something to him.
With a sigh in relief, she decided to move away, before THAT happened again.
-Syaoran-
He was laughing at a joke Eriol, one of the top guards, was telling him, but he saw something from afar making him turn his head towards the crowd, only to meet emerald orbs bore into his soul. His breath was caught in his throat, a tingly sensation in his stomach, making him blush. Wow, she has very beautiful eyes… I wonder how she'll look like without that wine cloak… maybe, argh… what am I thinking?
"Sir?... your highness?... Li-sama?"
"Huh?" Syaoran looked away from the girl and looked at Eriol questioningly.
"Is something the matter, Sir? You froze like-."
"Oh shut up, Elroi" He said looking back to the Emerald beauty and frowned, only to see a huge bald guy in her place. Eriol sweat dropped, pointing his index finger on the air, while holding the horses' rail with his other hand. "Uh, Sir?... It's Eriol."
"Yeah, yeah… whatever Elroi." Syaoran responded still searching… Where did she go?
Eriol sighed, I wonder what got him in a bad mood…Do I even look like an Elroi?
-Sakura-
She ran into the "Big Guy" again, and he didn't look happy to see her, although it was mutual feelings. "Eek… uh… Hi big fella…hehe… nice to…um… see you… again." She said walking sideway making his back look to the front, shielding her from the guys view.
"I don't LIKE you, little girlie."
"(vein popped) LITTLE? GIRLIE?!" She growled glaring at him. "Why you… HEY!! Isn't that J'Lo?!" Sakura said, pointing to the other side. He looked to where she pointed, a vein popping on his forehead when he noticed that she wasn't there. "Stupid brat kid"
Sakura hid behind a building, panting after the run she just made to get away from him. (Sigh) Thank God for my wolf abilities, if not, I would have been screwed big time and wouldn't have escaped his grasp. That was another thing from this curse, her instincts, smell, taste, hearing, sight and abilities are like a wolf's.
She looked up to a low rooftop, making some stunts to get there. She jumped form building to building, following the carriage in a quick pace.
-Syaoran-
"Syaoran Li! Where have you been, young man? I've been worried sick for you. I'm your mother, you're suppose to tell me where you head off"
"Mother, I was with Elroi and the other guards at the end. You shouldn't worry so much; you'll get old before you reach your 45."
Syaoran said teasingly, making his mother fume, yet she watched him confusedly. "Who's Elroi? Is he new?" He sweat dropped noticing that he's been calling his friend Elroi. "Oops… I meant Eriol…"
He sat down on one of the magony silk sofa at the place living room. Xi, his father, entered the room with his famous smile. "Told you he was ok, darling. Now, Syaoran… your mothers right too. You should tell us where you head off to, remember we know nothing of this place and it could be dangerous." He said, sitting next to his wife.
Syaoran sighed a bit, heading to the door, stopping to look at his father. "I have to choose a room in this huge place, right?"
"Yes. Do you need an escort?"
"No, it's fine… I'll explore by myself as well." And with that, he hurried out of the room, before his parents got all mushy with each other. I don't understand them… they were forced into marriage at the age of 20-21, but they act like they've been in love since elementary. (Frustrated sigh) How can it be love, if you were force to it?
He found himself in a different wing of the palace. It was darker than the others, yet it caught his attention. "Where does this lead to?" He murmured to himself, opening a door at the end of the hall. "A throne room?" He easily found the light switch, illuminating the room of its secrets. In deed it was a throne room.
There was 2 golden thrones at the end of the room, a red carpet leading towards it, yet it was stained in the middle (it may be blood). But that didn't catch his eyes like the huge wall like portrait behind it. Walking over to it, he placed his hand on it, looking up with sadness. "So… THIS was the royal family."
The King, Fujitaka Kinomoto, had soft brown eyes and brown hair, tall, and handsome, next to him was his wife, Queen Nadeshiko, bright emerald eyes and waist length brown hair with a beautiful womanly figure, and lastly…
"And this was…Ying Fa…" His eyes soften, touching her hand in the portrait. She looked about 8 in this picture. She had mid-back auburn hair and bright emerald eyes. "Those eyes… they look like the peasant girls eyes I saw a while ago… (Closing his eyes and giving a deep breath)… That's impossible… Ying Fa is dead… and I'm glad too (reopening his eyes)… I was suppose to huh?" His words died as he thought he saw something at the door.
-Sakura-
She followed them until they arrived at the palace. No one could see her, and she was grateful for that, but how will she get in? Her eyes scanned her surrounding, jumping to the palace walls without a sound, and running quickly before the guards passed through, until arriving where a tree was. If I remember correctly, on top of this tree, my room is located… I just hope the balcony isn't closed.
She jumped from branches to branches until landing soundlessly at the balcony, entering the dark room, remembering her time here. It was still all the same, from the cherry blossom bed sheets, to the stuffed animals on the floor and other places. She picked up her favorite stuffed wolf plushy and hugged it, tears escaping her eyes down her cheek. Mom gave me this on my 8th birthday…
-Flashback-
"Hime-sama! The queen is looking for you Hime-sama." The old maid said walking towards the garden where Sakura hid behind a rose patch. "BOO!!"
The maid almost screamed when Sakura yelled jumping into view, and scowled at her "Hime-sama! How could you scare an old woman like me, I could've died from a heart attack!!" Sakura pouted and looked down, her hands at her back. "Gomen ne, Namii-san. I didn't mean to provoke a heart attack… I just wanted to play with you."
The maid smiled softly to her, taking her hand and guiding her into the palace. "Now, now, Hime-sama… I know you didn't intend to, come now… your parents have a special surprise for you." Sakura smiled at this happily following the maid inside. When she came into the throne room, a huge wall like portrait of her family was located behind the thrones.
"Wow! It's so BIG!!" She said running over to her parents, who smiled at her. "Happy Birthday Ying Fa." They both said hugging her. The maid brought a 5 lair pink cake with a stuffed wolf on top. Nadeshiko reached for it, handing it to her. 'For me? Thank you mama, papa… I love you!"
-End of flashback-
"Mama…papa…" A heavy wait of sadness washed over her, remembering her parents, but a sound of an opening door stopped it abruptly. "Where does this lead to?" It was a males voice, but who's? Sakura got up, putting the stuffed toy on the bed, slowly opening the door. "A throne room?" There it was again, that voice. She peeked through the lighted room, her eyes widening from the sight. It's him!! What is he doing in this sacred room?
"So, THIS was the royal family." He touched the portrait, and then stopped at her hand. Sakura looked at him curios into, why stop there? "And this was… Ying Fa…" How… does he know my name? She didn't realize that she stood by the door openly. "Those eyes… they look like the peasant girl's eyes… that's impossible… Ying Fa is dead… and I'm glad too…" Sakura's eyes widened at this, taking a step back. " I was suppose to (She began running out of the room) huh?"
-Syaoran-
"Is someone there? Show yourself!" Silence only greeted him. Syaoran put yourself together. You're imagining things already… no one is there. He took a deep breath before heading out of the room, glancing once more to the young girl in the portrait, before turning the lights off. He kept walking through the hall, but stopped abruptly in front of another room. "This wasn't opened before."
Without giving much thought, he opened it slowly, revealing a dark, yet childish big room. Syaoran entered and turned the switch on, only to see that it didn't work. "That's odd… the balcony doors are opened." Walking to the balcony, cold fresh air greeted his face. He looked around, but there was no one in sight. "I'm thinking this palace is haunted, by all the freaky things that's been happening." He said to himself, looking up to the sky, it was an hour before sunsets… "Hmm…" He looked towards the bed to see a stuffed wolf plushy on it, taking it. "Someone placed it here recently, because the bed doesn't show it was there all these years… hmm… interesting."
-Sakura-
She heard him from afar, but jumped out of the balcony down the tree and towards the palace walls. I can't believe him! How could he say something like that if he doesn't know me! She ran out of the downtown plaza and into the woods. She noticed that she only had an hour to reach home; Grandpa Geneto must be very worried of her. She smiled when she made it to the house with a few minutes to spare.
"Grandpa Geneto! Grandpa Geneto! I'm back, I-." Her words died when she saw him laying on the bed still, but a hand was dangling from the side and he looked much paler.
"Grandpa?" She slowly walked over to him, half afraid of what to expect. Tears started to blur her vision as she knelt beside him, looking at his small smile gracing his pale features. "Oh, grandpa…" At the same time the sun had set, her cloak and clothes falling to the floor. Sakura put her head at his side, tears falling freely down her wolfish features. She couldn't take it anymore, and started to run deeper into the woods. She made it to a small stream, and sat looking into her reflection. Why? Why did he have to go now? The moon was starting to rise, and her cries could be heard, in a wolf howl.
