Her eyes were closed, hiding. Somehow it seemed familiar to him. Then his eyes caught something.
The pendant on her neck.
Syaoran eyes widened yet again. It was the pendant on the girl of the portrait. Sakura was the child of the powerful family whom he met when he was a child. But her name is Kinoto and has no power. Unless...
It can't be possible...!!
--Chapter 6--
--She's mine to keep--
At the Kinomoto castle, Nadeshiko and Fujitaka sat at their respective thrones looking like they have the worst headache of all. Nadeshiko was sobbing slightly in her hands while Fujitaka was massaging his temple.
"Our child have disappeared again.." Nadeshiko muttered as she looked down at the ground, removing her hands from her face. Fujitaka looked at her with sad eyes as well. Touya and Eriol walked towards the two. When they reached in front of the two, they bowed. That's when Fujitaka noticed Eriol.
"Who are you? I have not seen you before here in the castle before," Fujitaka stated as he looked at Eriol with slightly hard eyes. Eriol bowed once again.
"My name is Eriol Hiiragizawa. I am one of Princess Sakura's friends from Korea," Eriol lied. Touya looked Eriol with no surprise in his eyes. Even he had lie to the King and Queen once. Fujitaka just nodded and sighed.
"Did she mentioned to you about how she felt in the castle?" Nadeshiko asked Eriol, looking at him hopefully.
"Well she did mentioned that she felt trapped and needed my help to save her form this wretched place but I have no power to do so. The least I could ever do is to accompany here to this castle, your highness," Eriol replied. Nadeshiko nodded softly at this new piece of information. The two of them looked at each other.
"We have been harsh to her ever since she was born as she is our only daughter. We tried to sculpt her to the perfect human she is, not really caring of her feelings." Fujitaka admitted. Touya looked up at him.
"It is about time you realize that , father," Touya said as he smiled softly.
"We should allow her to feel the world before hastening her wedding," Fujitaka said as he stood up. Touya and Eriol looked up at him with disbelief. Did he not realize that the wedding was the main problem why Sakura was like this? Touya opened his mouth to rebut his father's decision but he was shut off when Fujitaka gave him a hard stare.
"You are not to try to stop the wedding, Touya. She will marry the Prince even if she does not want to!" Fujitaka ordered loudly making the rest jump. Nadeshiko looked down. Her heart was beating really painfully and she did not know why. It was getting harder to breathe as she started to breathe harshly, making the 3 boys look at her. Fujitaka walked towards her and knelt in front of, his eyes full of worry.
"Are you alright, dear?" Fujitaka asked as Nadeshiko looked at him with pained eyes. She gave a small smile.
"I am fine, Fujitaka...I'm just tir-" She was cut off when suddenly stopped breathing and fell on Fujitaka, coughing, Blood started to drip from her lips as she continued to cough vigorously. Fujitaka held her tightly as she coughed.
"Nadeshiko! Nadeshiko!" Fujitaka shouted. Touya and Eriol had already ran up the alter to the King and Queen.
"Mother! What is wrong?!" Touya shouted, worriedly as his mother continued to cough out more blood from her mouth with every cough. Touya had tears in his eyes as Nadeshiko continued to cough. Eriol saw this with wide eyes.
"Consumption..."Eriol muttered out softly but not so soft. Touya heard him and did not actually believe what he heard He stood up and grabbed Eriol by his collar. He glared at Eriol.
"What did you say?!" Touya asked, warningly. Eriol looked at him, with no fear in his eyes.
"Queen Nadeshiko has consumption," Eriol repeated. Touya got angry for some reason and punched Eriol. Eriol was then dropped to the floor with Touya glaring down at him.
"Are you cursing my mother?! She does not have-" he was cut off by Fujitaka.
"She does have consumption, Touya,"Fujitaka choked out as he held Nadeshiko whom had fell unconscious -or it seems- and had stopped coughing. Touya looked at his father in anger and disbelief.
"Why did you not tell us?!" Touya shouted as he fell to his knees. Fujitaka looked at Touya with tears falling from his eyes.
"We do not want to hurt you. Especially Sakura.. When she too has develop this deadly sickness... Nadeshiko's condition is too severe. She was brought to America but the doctor said it was too late. She will die...and the time has arrived...She is gone.." Fujitaka said as he closed Nadeshiko's dark green eyes. She was pale with a trail of blood leading from her lip to her chin.
Touya slowly clutched his mother's hand. And started crying into it. He looked so weak crying into his mother hands. His hands clutched the hand so tightly, his pain was visible through it.
"Now mother's gone...Sakura's got her sickness...she's going to die soon..Why is it going this way?" Touya mumbled out. Eriol just looked at the crumbling family with sympathy in his eyes. Touya then looked at Eriol.
"Go to Sakura...Please.. You are the only one whom can get close to her.. Protect her...for us," Touya begged. Fujitaka looked at Eriol with the same sadness in his eyes.
"Tell her...we are very sorry of how we treated her..And please...Tell her..of her mother's fate..and bring her back...so we can heal her before her condition get worse," Fujitaka said as he looked down at his wife yet again. Eriol just nodded slowly and turned. He then ran out of the castle towards the same destination that Sakura did. The Li castle..
Li castle..
Syaoran had brought Sakura to his bedroom instead of hers as he knew that her bed was not really that comfortable. He slowly placed her on the bed. He then tucked her under the covers. He looked at Sakura longingly as he fingered the pendant on her neck. It was her all along. The girl whom he met when he was a child. But it is not possible that she is Sakura Kinomoto. This girl was that snobby princess's cook. Maybe Kinomoto gave Kinoto the necklace as a symbol of their close friendship.
Unconsciously, Syaoran had started to softly stroke Sakura's hair. His brown eyes looking at her face with that foreign feeling that Eriol had when Sakura emerged out wearing the dress she was wearing now. Syaoran then trailed his finger form her hair to her forehead, to her cheek and to her lips.
Consumption. What a cruel fate such a beautiful soul like her have to face. He did not realize that his eyes was revealing what he was feeling when it was not supposed to. Sakura suddenly twitched and groaned. She was waking up. Syaoran immediately pulled away his hands and placed his emotionless facade over his face and eyes. Sakura slowly opened her emerald eyes and it was immediately locked with amber eyes of Syaoran.
Sakura immediately sat, almost instantly. She then started coughing, not as bad as Nadeshiko though. Suddenly a jewel from the tiara she wore fell from the tiara and onto her skirt. I was the pink jewel which Nadeshiko had personally bought it. Sakura looked at it with wide eyes. Something bad had happened to her mother and she did not like that sinking feeling in her stomach.
"I'm glad you're awake, Kinomoto," Syaoran said. Sakura looked at Syaoran with slightly darkened eyes.
"I am not Kinomoto, your highness. I am just pretending to be Kinomoto," Sakura said. Syaoran looked at her amusingly. He then dragged a chair from his small table in the room and placed it beside the bed. He sat on it, in front of Sakura.
"Oh really now? Why would you that?" Syaoran asked. Sakura looked down at her skirt and picked up the jewel slowly.
"Prince Touya Kinomoto needed my help. His parents were missing their daughter too much and he wanted to cheer them up. Thus he told me to pretend to be the princess. The Queen was quite wary of me and told me to leave which I did," Sakura said, not fully lieing. Syaoran's mouth shaped to an 'o' and nodded slowly. Now he understood why she was wearing the princess's dress and tiara. And the pendant too.
Suddenly Eriol burst into the room,panting like he had ran a marathon -which I can bet you he did- . He looked at Syaoran and to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, I need to talk to you alone. If you do not mind, Prince Syaoran Li.."Eriol said. Sakura slowly got out of the bed and followed Eriol out of the room. Syaoran looked at her till the door is closed. His eyes held..jealousy that Eriol had once again intervene with his only time alone with Sakura.
"What is it , Eriol-kun?" Sakura asked. Eriol looked at Sakura with serious eyes.
"Your mother, Queen Nadeshiko Kinomoto...died..because of consumption," Eriol said. Sakura eyes widened as tears stung her eyes. She fell to her knees, hands covering her face. Tears started to spiral down her hands as she sobbed loudly into her hand. The jewel she had was getting wet in her hands.
"Okaa-sama! Okaa-sama!! Iiee!!" Sakura sobbed as she choked slightly. Her tears was crystalline clear and falling off her cheeks in such beautiful streaks. Eriol looked at her with sympathy. He knelt in front of her and wrapped his arms around her. He pulled her to him and secured her head on his chest.
"Just cry..Let it all out, Sakura-chan," Eriol said, soothingly. Sakura's eyes were slightly wide due to the sudden closeness but soon it was filled with tears again as she clutched his shirt. She buried her face into his shirt and sobbed into it, making it drenched with her tears.
Eriol softly smiled as he looked down and closed his eyes. His lips brushing the top of her auburn head. Unknown to them, Syaoran had opened the door to look out when he heard Sakura sobbing. His eyes wide with emotions filling them.
Shock.
Pain.
Anger.
Jealousy...
The last emotion caught him by surprise. Why did he feel jealous for them? Was it because Eriol is hugging Sakura or was it for some other reason? Syaoran clutched his chest in pain. He slowly closed the door behind him when he went back into his room. He was clenching his jaw and his hands were clutching his chest. Why was it so painful?! Why was it so painful to see them together?!
He fell to his knees panting as he kept on repeating the questions in his head. What is the reason that he felt this way?! He screamed it over and over again in his mind.. Till suddenly..
A picture of a smiling Sakura appeared in his head.
His eyes widened when another foreign feeling dulled the pain of the jealousy. He did not recognize this feeling at all.
It was love.
A month passed...
Sakura looked up at the sky and sighed when she was reminded of her mother. It had been a month since she had left this world. Sakura attended her funeral but she couldn't shed any tears. All her tears had dried up as she had cried on continuous nights. Sakura sat on the grass and looked up at the castle. She saw that Syaoran's window was opened.
Sakura did not know what happened but after the day she cried on Eriol, Syaoran refused to get out of the room. She had to place his food outside his door for. It was like as if he was avoiding all of the people in the castle. Like he was avoiding her. Sakura did not know what she did to make him angry at her.
As she pondered, Meiling ran to the gardens in search of her.
"Sakura-chan! Its time to cook Prince Li's lunch," Meiling said as she stopped in front of Sakura. Sakura looked at her.
"Is he angry at me Mei? Is he avoiding me?" Sakura asked. Meiling looked at her weirdly.
"Why would he be angry at you? And why would he avoid you? You did not do anything to annoy him or anything," Meiling said as she offered her hand. Sakura grabbed her and and was pulled to her feet. Sakura dusted her skirt and looked up again at Syaoran's window. Her eyes widened when her gaze met his.
Syaoran was looking down at her from the window. He looked so lonely and pained in there. He was looking at her with that look of longing. Sakura couldn't peel her eyes off him. Till Meiling pulled her hand though. Sakura looked at Meiling whom looked really annoyed.
"Hurry!" Meiling said. Sakura just nodded and looked at the window again.
He was not there.
Sakura just sighed and let Meiling drag her into the castle. Sakura chopped some onions in the kitchen still thinking of the look Syaoran had when she looked at him. Eriol came by and smiled at her.
"Hey Sakura-chan," Eriol said as he sat on a chair near her. Sakura shot him a smile.
"Hi Eriol-kun. What are you doing here? Don't you have any work to do?" Sakura asked. Eriol just shook his head.
"No.. Prince Syaoran Li has yet to give me orders for the day," Eriol said. Sakura just nodded and went back to chopping her onions.
"Is the Prince angry at me? If he is not, then why is he avoiding me?" Sakura asked. Eriol looked at Sakura and laughed slightly.
"Why would he be angry at you , Sakura-chan. You did not do anything wrong," Eriol said. Sakura sighed and just closed her eyes.
"But I still have that feeling he is not happy with me," Sakura said, not knowing that she was chopping the onions with her eyes closed. The knife suddenly hit her finger, cutting her. Sakura immediately shrieked at the pain and let go of the knife. She then looked at her index finger and it was bleeding a lot. Sakura didn't know what to do. Her eyes was swelling with tears due to the pain. Eriol stood up and was about to go to Sakura to help her but he was beaten to it.
Sakura looked up when someone grabbed her hand. It was Syaoran. He had came to her and took her hand. He placed it under the running water. Sakura winced at the water prickling her finger. She bit her lips to stop her from crying out in pain. Syaoran looked at her.
"Hold on to me, if its too painful," he said softly. Sakura did not give it any thought as she wrapped her free arm around him. She placed her face on his arm. Syaoran slowly bandaged the injured finger and kissed it slightly.
"There all better," Syaoran said. Sakura looked at him and let go of him. She curtsied.
"Thank you Prince Syaoran Li," Sakura said, her voice tinted with embarrassment. Syaoran just placed his hand on her and smiled.
"It's okay.. Be more careful next time," Syaoran said as he walked off. But Sakura wanted him to answer her doubting heart.
"Your highness!...Are you...avoiding me?" Sakura asked him. Syaoran stopped walking and looked at her with a small smile.
"I am not.. I just need time to think," Syaoran replied and walked off. Sakura smiled and looked at her bandaged finger. Eriol looked at the scene as it replayed over and over again in his mind. He gave a small and soft chuckle that Sakura couldn't hear.
'I see it now...You're in love with her, Prince Li... But..Sakura is the only thing I will not let you have,' Eriol thought as he walked over to Sakura with a smile.
"You should be careful when u hold a knife," Eriol said. Sakura looked at him and laughed sheepishly.
'You will not have her,'
