--Chapter 12--
--Fragile Strings Finally Joins--
The morning was bright and cheery as Sakura skipped down the steps with a huge smile on her face. She was ecstatic after yesterday and she did not why. Maybe because she know that Syaoran still has feelings for her. Sakura lightly hummed as she skipped to the kitchen. Since everyone was busy with her wedding preparations, she might as well whip herself something to eat. She dodged yet another incoming maid with a dress effortless but failed to notice her long black hair and icy blue eyes. As Sakura continued her way to the kitchen, the maid stopped and looked at her with a devilish smirk.
"Sakura Kinomoto...Looks like you don't know me," the maid said, coldly. The smirk widened as she turned , flipped her long black hair over her shoulders and continued her way to Tomoyo's room. She was really going to make Sakura pay now and what better way than doing that through her heart?
Sakura hummed yet another tune as she mixed up the n flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, grape fruit zest, beaten eggs, oil and milk in a large mixing bowl. She half-attentively grab a waffle iron and placed it on the stove and heat it up. She then brushed some oil onto it and add some of the batter into it and closed the waffle iron. She then heated another saucepan whereby she added some grapefruit juice and honey. She let it combine as she flipped the iron. She then cut out some strawberries and took out the waffles and placed it on a plate.
She then added the strawberries on them when she finished making about 4 for herself. She then pured some of the syrup on it and then carried her plate to the dining room and sat on the seat at the very end and started eating. She noticed some major difference between hers and Syaoran's dining room.
Firstly, like everything in the castle, hers was much much much bigger than Syaoran. And like everything as well, hers was pink! The dining table was a massive oak table in the middle of the room. Underneath it was a cherry pink carpet and surrounding the table was directly 40 crystal chairs with pink cushions on it. Sakura looked at the ceiling and it was cream in color. Syaoran's one was green. Hers was cream with Sakura petals being painted on it.
She continued to munch on her waffles as she looked at the busy atmosphere through the large wall made entirely of glass windows which showed the backyard where everyone was scurrying like squirrels which were collecting acorns for winter. She just sighed and continued to finish up her sweet breakfast. She then washed her plate and walked towards Tomoyo's room to see what she was up to but on the way, she bumped onto the same maid. The maid looked at her with shocked icy blue eyes and curtsied after she regained composure.
"I'm so sorry, your highness," the maid said in with apology in her voice. Sakura looked at her for a while. She looked somewhat familiar but she brushed it off and smiled at her.
"It's okay...um..." Sakura said as she tried to find a way to call the maid. The maid merely smiled sweetly.
"Kurusae Shyre, your highness," Shyre said, her eyes boring to Sakura's in a friendly stare. Sakura smiled at her and nodded her head slightly.
"It's okay Kurusae-san. But next time be careful," Sakura said as she walked up the steps. Shyre merely bowed and smirked.
"It's only phrase one dearie...," Shyre said. Sakura walked up the steps and knocked on Tomoyo's door. The door creaked opened and Sakura peered in. Her eyes widened when she saw the state Tomoyo was in. She immediately ran to Tomoyo who laid motionlessly on her bed.
"Tomoyo-chan!!" Sakura shouted as she knelt beside Tomoyo whom was pale as a sheet. Sakura shook her shoulders but she did not respond. Sakura did the only think she could think of at the moment, cry for help.
"Akaena-chan!! Akaena-chan!!" Sakura shouted for her nurse. The door burst open but Sakura was not greeted with a bright orange haired and gray eyed nurse but instead she was greeted with a frantic Shyre.
"Your highness! Someone..Someone had murdered Akaena-chan!" Shyre shouted as she fell to her knees in front of Sakura. Sakura noticed the bloodied condition of Shyre and knelt in front of her and held her hands.
"Are you alright, Kurusae-san?" Sakura asked as she wiped away the blood on Shyre's cheeks gingerly. Shyre merely nodded , her eyes full of fear. She may be full of fear outside but she is very disgusted inside. She wished that Sakura stopped pretending to be so worried and get her hands off her.
"Akaena-chan was stabbed by someone...She used this dagger to stab her," Shyre said as she drew her dagger from the sheath at the back of her maid skirt. Sakura eyes widened to the see the bloodied dagger of Shyre's. She was about to grab it when suddenly a memory came back painfully to her mind.
Flashback...
She was drowning in pain. All she saw was black and the wind which was blowing on her unmoving body was so soothing. Her eyes were opened in small slit, so painfully that what she saw was blurred figures. When suddenly, her vision was flooded with a girl. Her hair was long and a cold black in color. Her eyes was a furious icy blue. And in her raised hand was a knife with a golden hilt and silver blade. The girl was going to kill her and she was very sure of it. The wind blew on the girl giving her a more menacing look. A child beside her stirred and started crying. And that was when all turned black...
End of Flashbacks.
Sakura's eyes widened when she realized whom the girl in that dream of hers was. It was the witch which poisoned her. Shyre's eyes clouded in anger when she saw the shock in Sakura's eyes. She remembered and now she has to hasten her plan to the last stage. Kill Sakura. A sickening smirk reached Shyre's lips.
"Well Well Well, Looks like the princess remembers who was the one whom was about to kill her," Shyre said. She gripped her knife.
"But too bad, you won't live to tell the tale," Shyre continued as she moved to stab Sakura but Sakura was faster. Sakura merely moved to the side and her knife plunged deep into the bed. Shyre's eyes widened when Sakura gripped her wrist painfully. Sakura's eyes was no longer the bright emerald it once was. Now it was dull emerald, clouded with anger.
"You murdered Akaena-chan and poisoned Tomoyo-chan. You are not to be forgiven," Sakura said as she stood up, bringing Shyre up to her feet as well. She then gripped her wrist tighter and threw her to the nearby wall like a rag doll. Sakura stood up slowly, her eyes fixed on the fallen girl.
"Now...Do you want to see how death feels like? If you don't, I suggest you give me the antidote now and I'll let you go with no harm done," Sakura said as she neared Shyre slowly. Shyre looked at Sakura and wiped the blood which was trailing by the side of her mouth. She smirked.
"Are you dumb, Kinomoto?! I am not giving you the antidote to the poison no matter what. Your little fried has less that a day to survive," Shyre said, her voice tinted with pain. Sakura's eyes hardened as she stopped right in front of Shyre, looming over her with her very very scary looking eyes fixed at Shyre's surprisingly scared icy blue eyes.
"Is that so?" Sakura asked as she grabbed Shyre's neck quickly and lifted her off the ground. She then slammed Shyre to the wall and glared into her eyes.
"The antidote or your windpipe will break," Sakura warned as she tighten her grip on Shyre's neck. Shyre's breathing started to become ragged but she did not give up. She reached behind her and drew another dagger and stabbed it through Sakura's stomach. Sakura's eyes widened as she dropped Shyre to the ground. She then knelt, clutching her bleeding stomach. Shyre's smirk came back to her lips as she stood up. Now it was her looming over Sakura. Shyre rubbed her sore neck for a while and raised her knife. Sakura looked at her with pained emerald which showed not even a speck of fear in it.
"Go ahead..Kill me," Sakura said as she closed her emerald eyes. Her fate is to die anyways. She has consumption and she will die in the near future if not now. But the only thing she regret dieing will be that she will be leaving Syaoran. Shyre's smirk widened as she brought the knife down. Instead of staying still, Sakura moved a bit thus the knife missed her shoulder and scraped her ankle. Sakura looked up at Shyre and smirked.
"I did not say I will stay still, now did I?" Sakura said as she suddenly stood up and grabbed the knife in Shyre's hands. She then pushed Shyre to the wall again and pressed the knife against her windpipe.
"The antidote," Sakura said. Shyre knew that she could not escape the princess. She was just too strong to be defeated. She could still stand with blood still dripping profusely from her wound. Shyre reached for the vile on her waist band and slowly gave it to Sakura. Sakura took it with her free and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you," Sakura said as she hit Shyre's cheek with the knife's hilt. Shyre fell to the floor unconscious with the knife beside her. Sakura's eyes immediately filled with concern as she ran to Tomoyo and opened the vile. She then closed Tomoyo's nostrils and poured the liquid into her mouth. Tomoyo was forced to swallow it even though she was unconscious. Sakura did not realize that Shyre had gained her consciousness and was now creeping towards Sakura.
'If I can't have Prince Syaoran Li...You can't!' Shyre said as she stabbed Sakura's back. Sakura's eyes widened as she let out a loud scream, so shrill it could wake up the dead. Which it did. Tomoyo's eyes snapped opened as Sakura's head fell on the bed. Sakura clutched the mattress in pain as she glared at Shyre painfully from the side of her eyes.
"You..." Sakura said. The dagger was deep in her back and blood was tainting her cream colored dress. Eriol then burst into the room, his eyes full of worry. His eyes widened when he saw the bloodied Sakura whom was kneeling in front of Shyre. Eriol did the first thing which came to his mind. He ran to Shyre and hit her neck, making her fall limb to the ground, unconscious. He then ran to Sakura and quickly pulled out the dagger. Sakura gave a loud wince as the dagger slipped out of her bruised flesh. Tomoyo weakly got off the bed and knelt beside her. Eriol placed her on his arm. Sakura looked up at him, her emerald eyes glistering with pain and tears.
"For the first time this feels really painful," Sakura said as she let the tears flow out of her eyes. Eriol looked at her with teary sapphire eyes. He looked at Tomoyo. She got the message and scrambled to her feet. She then ran out of the room in search for something to treat Sakura's wounds. Sakura just smiled weakly up at Eriol who gave her a weak smile back.
"You'll be fine Sakura-chan. You can't leave Prince Syaoran Li now," Eriol said as he placed his lips lightly on Sakura's forehead which was turning cold. Sakura merely smiled softly and placed her hand on Eriol's cheek.
"Tell Syaoran..I love him," Sakura said before her hand slipped off his face as she fell unconscious. Her whole body went limb and her breathing slowly became shallow. Eriol's eyes widened. This was not happening.
"Sakura-chan...Sakura-chan...SAKURA!!" Eriol screamed as tears fell from his eyes.
Li castle.
Two amber eyes snapped opened as the owner jerked awake. He sat up almost immediately and he was panting. For the first time, a nightmare had scared the life out of him.
Dream
It was so dark and very cold. Syaoran looked at his surroundings. Nothing but pitch black space. He looked at himself. He was illuminated with white light. He took a step forward but his feet met air. He immediately took that step back and looked around. Still nothing.
"..Ran.." a voice whispered. Syaoran could immediately recognize that soft and sweet tone of the voice. It was Sakura's voice.
"Syaoran..." It came again but slightly clearer. Syaoran turned and ran towards the source of the sound, hoping he would find Sakura. And he did. There in the middle of a clearing which suddenly appeared in front of him was Sakura, in a white dress which was tainted with blood. She had a small smile on her face, her emerald eyes glistering with pain and blood trickling down her arm. Syaoran's eyes widened with fear as she started to float away from him. Her hand outstretched as if she was wanting him to grab it and save her.
"Syaoran-kun..."She muttered again, now filled with worry and fear. Syaoran started running but the faster he ran, the faster she was floating away. Suddenly she started fading. She had stopped floating but she was still quite a distance away from him. He quickly increased his pace. Sakura's scared and hurt face was all that he could think of.
"Tasukete...Syaoran-kun!!" She shouted as her whole body started to fade except the outstretched arm. Syaoran stretched out his arm and right when his fingers just touched the tip of her fingers, she faded fully. Immediately tears sprung into his eyes.
"Sakura!!"
End of Dream
Syaoran let out a strangled groan as he wiped away the tears which had appeared in eyes. He got off of bed and walked out of the room, not caring if he looked real messy. As he walked down the stairs, a maid bumped onto him and fell onto the floor. Syaoran looked at him and his eyes widened when he saw that it was Meiling and crying. He knelt in front of her and looked at her crying face as she looked at him.
"Prince Syaoran Li!" Meiling exclaimed as she bowed her head. Syaoran merely nodded and pulled her up to her feet.
"Why are you crying, Meiling?" Syaoran asked. Meiling looked at him with teary eyes for a second before she burst into tears and fell back to her knees crying.
"Sakura-chan!! She was stabbed and now unconscious. She might be dieing!" Meiling said, her voice cracking due to her sobs. Syaoran's eyes widened as shock and denial filled them. He looked down at Meiling as a thin line formed on his lips.
"Bring me to the Kinomoto castle," Syaoran said. Meiling looked up at him, her tears still streaming down her cheeks. She nodded and stood up. She then grabbed Syaoran's hand and ran.
Sakura's room..
Sakura laid on her bed, unconscious and deathly pale. Her pink mattress was slightly tainted with spots of blood. Sakura's upper body was shirtless as Tomoyo had to wrap her wounds. Tomoyo had changed her to a skirt instead of her bloodied dress. Tomoyo let out a relief sigh as she put on a shirt on Sakura. She then looked at the man whom was sitting on the couch, looking away from the bed with a huge blush on his face.
"I'm done, Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo said as she smiled at Eriol whom turned towards her slowly. He gave a huge sigh and stood up. He walked to Sakura and looked at her peaceful face. He then sat beside her and stroked Sakura's cheek with his left hand. Tomoyo saw the pained love in his eyes and just looked out of the window.
"Why is it not me that she loves, Daidouji-chan?" Eriol asked suddenly. Tomoyo was really confused at his question and then it came to her. He loves Sakura but Sakura was in love with Syaoran. And Syaoran was in love with her. Tomoyo just sighed and walked towards Eriol and hugged him form the back. Eriol was really shocked by her bold move. Tomoyo placed her chin on the top of his head.
"Well...It is good you are trying to let her go. Maybe Kami will pity you and will then give you the love of your life...You'll probably learn to love another and maybe she'll love you back, Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo said, her amethyst eyes closed as if trying to suck out Eriol's sadness with her hug, like the million times she saw Sakura did. Since her eyes was closed, she did not realize that she had caused a tiny blush to appear on Eriol's face. He merely gave a content sigh and closed his eyes. A small smile decorated his face.
"Yes..I wish so too..And please..Call me Eriol," Eriol said as he felt Tomoyo slowly tighten her hug on him.
"And do call me Tomoyo, Eriol-kun," Tomoyo said as they remained there for a while.
Entrance of Kinomoto castle..
Syaoran looked up at the gigantic castle in awe. Yes it was the first time he had ever saw such a humongous castle before. His eyes sparkled with awe as he walked in, his face still full of adoration. Meiling saw this and merely smiled.
'He looks so cure..But cuter with Sakura-chan,' Meiling thought as she walked into the castle with Syaoran trailing behind her. Once inside, Syaoran's jaw hit the floor. Since he has never seen a castle bigger than his, it was really a view. A gigantic pink hall instead of his slightly smaller...green halls. Meiling then slowly led him to Sakura's room. But before they went in, they heard a scream.
"Let me go!! I want to kill that Kinomoto!! I want to kill that Kinomoto!!" the shrill voice of Shyre broke through the whole halls. Syaoran blinked at the voice.
"Was that...Shyre?" Syaoran asked Meiling who too had the same reaction. Meiling just nodded as her face turned to that of hatred.
"She was the one who tried to kill Sakura-chan, "Meiling stated with anger and hatred evident in her voice. Syaoran's hatred for her grew even more. His fists were tightly clenched as he saw the icy blue eyes maid being pulled out of the castle by 4 guards. Syaoran just shook his head as Meiling opened the door. He then turned and looked at the first thing which came to his view. Sakura on the bed, motionless and so pale. He saw Eriol and Tomoyo talking to each other at the couch, Eriol obviously looking beat from taking care of Sakura. He then walked in slowly as Meiling did not want to go in. She might break down when she sees how bad Sakura was. The first thump of his boots made Eriol look his way immediately. His sapphire eyes widened.
"Prince Syaoran Li!" He exclaimed as he stood up and bowed. Syaoran just nodded and walked towards Sakura. His heart aches the minute he saw the too serene face of Sakura. He sat on the bed side and stroked Sakura's cheek. His eyes filled with tears almost immediately but he kept it in. He merely sighed as he brushed away a stray strand of auburn on Sakura's forehead. It was his fault that she was almost killed. Syaoran then looked at Eriol.
"Where is Fujitaka-san and...that monster brother of Sakura's?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo giggled slightly at how he named Touya. Eriol just looked at him.
"They are in London..They are getting the medicine for Sakura's consumption," Eriol said. Syaoran 'ooh'ed and nodded. He looked at Sakura's face as it twitched suddenly. His eyes widened as he moved nearly to her.
"Sakura..?" He asked. Her eyes twitched yet again. She gave a small groan as her eyes twitched yet again. Eriol and Tomoyo heard the groan and immediately ran to her. Slowly but surely two emerald eyes opened slowly. Se was greeted by three pairs of worried eyes. Brown, amethyst and sapphire. A small weak smile stretched her lips.
"Hi.." she said awkwardly as three smiles broke out on the worried faces of the trio. They laughed and thanked the gods that Sakura was fine.
About 3 weeks later..
Sakura looked out of the window. She was wearing her bridal gown which Tomoyo had designed for her. It was a white strapless dress which reached the floor. It had diamonds all over the upper dress while the skirt was decorated with Sakura petals. She wore her tiara which had a veil attached to it. On the waistline of the dress was a cute pattern made out of pink gems and diamonds. It looked absolutely stunning on her.
Sakura was all dolled up for the occasion. She had her hair curled and now it was tumbling slightly down her shoulders. Her face was only adorned with slight pink lipsticks and nothing else. She looked perfect without make up anyways. Sakura clutched her dress. She was getting married to Eriol and it feels really wrong. On her feet she wore crystal pumps which he found horrendous to walk in. The door clicked opened. Fujitaka walked in with a smile on his face.
"It's time..Sakura," Fujitaka said. Sakura stood up and grab the bouquet of cherry blossoms on her bed and walked to her father. Fujitaka put the veil over Sakura's face and took her hand and let her to the back yard where the wedding shall take place.
The backyard was beautifully decorated with white tables filled with food and a gigantic wedding cake which had 4 layers to it. It was a beautiful pink cake with a lot of icing on. There was a large wedding altar in front with cherry blossoms and peonies decorating it. There was even white balloons around. The maid was busy keeping hands off the food table. There was the aisle which was a long red carpet with Sakura petals thrown all over them. and chairs which was occupied with relatives like Yelan Li, family such as Touya Kinomoto and friends like Meiling Sae. But Sakura had her eyes closed. She had did not see the person standing on the altar waiting for her and his best man. She knew that her maid of honor was Tomoyo. Fujitaka then led Sakura down the aisle as the music started playing.
She stood the altar looking down, her eyes closed. She did not want to see Eriol in front of her. The priest coughed slightly to shush everyone up and started.
"Dear beloved we gather her to witness the joining of man and woman..." The priest started. Sakura's squeezed her eyes tightly. She did not want to hear their names as she did not want it to happen.
"Li Syaoran and Sakura Kinomoto," the priest continued. That completely shocked Sakura as her eyes snapped open. She was greeted with Syaoran whom was smirking at her. Syaoran was smirking at her the moment she stood on the altar.
Syaoran wore a very handsome black tuxedo with a small Sakura petal sewn on his tux pocket. He then gave Sakura a mock shock look.
"Who did you think I was? Eriol?" Syaoran whispered to her. Sakura merely smiled as her doubt got washed away.
"Vows please," the priest said. Syaoran cleared his throat.
"Sakura Kinomoto..The first time I met you I thought you nothing but a commoner. But I did expect you to be the princess which I had always thought never existed. You brought me to a whole new world of cooking and tastes. Yet the most delicious thing I have tasted is still you. You had taken my heart which I hid totally away from the people around. I will love you forever, not even death will keep us apart, my cherry blossom," Syaoran said. Sakura had tears in her eyes. She was really touched. The priest then gave Sakura the cue to start.
"Li Syaoran..The first time I saw you, I thought you were an egoistic, cold hearted prince which did not give a damn about other people's feelings but I was wrong. Really wrong. I saw the kind hearted man you are inside and I love you..Now and for always!" Sakura giggled. The crowd cheered at her short but sweet speech. The ceremony then continued on.
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said. Sakura and Syaoran gladly complied. Eriol and Tomoyo clapped as they saw how happy the two were. Then they looked at each other and blushed. They looked away, smiling. If your were to look closer, you could see that their hands are joined.
After the ceremony and the whole dinner, Sakura and Syaoran laid peacefully on Sakura's bed. Sakura was wrapped protectively in Syaoran's arms.
"Say..After all that food..I am still hungry for real food..." Syaoran joked. Sakura laughed and looked at him serious.
"Want me to cook for you?"Sakura asked. Syaoran pondered and nodded.
"What do you want to eat?" Sakura asked. Syaoran smiled. Sakura saw that mischievous look of his and caught on immediately.
"Instant Noodles!!"
