--Chapter 2--
--The Foreboding Letter--
"Kinoto...?" Syaoran asked warily as he walked towards her. The sobbing did not cease. Syaoran could hear hushed muttering from her but none of it was audible enough for him to understand. Why was his very strong maid crying? All the times she had been here, she never did shed a tear. She always had that strong personality and is always there when someone needs her. He hates to admit it but, except for her sharp tongue and wits, she was a very decent girl who is capable of doing anything. Including protecting herself. That, he had to find out the hard way. Syaoran walked towards her and knelt in front of her.
"Kinoto..?" He asked again as he hooked his fingers under her chin and gently pushed her head upwards. His eyes widened when he saw the streaks which was flowing down her cheeks like a broken dam. Sakura looked at him with heartwrenchingly sad eyes that Syaoran could not help but sit there with her.
"Prince Syaoran Li... Why was I ever born in this world..?" Sakura asked him, her voice laced with hurt and sadness. Syaoran could not answer her. He too did not know why he was born as the Prince and not some commoner. Sakura merely looked down and her hands.
"I think... I was born to be stepped on. To be ordered around... I wasn't supposed to be born as the Prin-" She trailed off as she fell forward. Syaoran caught her immediately. He realized that she had fainted. She was probably exhausted from all that crying but what was it that she wanted to say before she fainted? What was she not supposed to be born as? Syaoran merely sighed and gathered the girl into his arms. He could not help but remember the first time he met Sakura.
XxFlashbackxX
"WHAT?! Why did you arranged for a marriage, MY marriage, in secret?! Don't you ever thought of how I feel, Father, Mother?!" Syaoran bellowed as he slammed his palm on the mahogany table. His father, Li Hiroku, and his mother, Li Yelan, did not even flinch. Yelan gently placed her saucer and cup of tea down on the table and looked up at Syaoran who by now had stood up from his seat. Syaoran gulped when her coal black eyes pierced his chocolate ones.
"Do you object to this arrangement, Xiao Lang?" Yelan asked, her voice dangerously low. Syaoran knew he could not win. Even if he tried to make his parents reconsider, it would just be a futile attempt. He sighed in defeat and turned. He then left the room without a word. Syaoran was pissed beyond pissed. How could they control his life like that? He knows that he was the heir to the throne and has to continue the royal bloodline fast but to the extent of choosing his bride for him?! That was too much! Syaoran ignored Eriol who tried his best to calm him down. He did not need anyone to bother him right now. Slamming the front door open, he stomped out of the castle and into the forest not far from the castle.
He walked and walked in the forest, not caring which way he went. Besides, he grew in a castle beside the forest. He was bound to get lost in it when he was still a child. Now he knew the forest inside out. Pushing a bush out of his way, he stepped into a clearing. A beautiful lake sat in the middle of the clearing with flowers decorating it's banks. Syaoran then noticed something weird about the lake. There seemed to be bubbles emerging from the lake. Was there someone in that lake? Without much thought, Syaoran stripped himself of his boots and jumped into the lake. His eyes widened at what he saw in the lake.
It was a girl, roughly around his age in appearance. Her long auburn hair floated around her face like golden mist and her eyes closed. Bubbles came out of her mouth and she floated quite near to the bottom. But what shocked him the most was that the water surrounding her was tainted red and a stab wound was found on her stomach. The cream dress she wore was tinted red at the upper area due to the blood. Panicking, Syaoran came up to the surface again and took a big gulp of air. He dived back in and swam quickly towards the girl. He pulled her to him and brought her to the surface. She doesnt seem to be conscious and she was not breathing. Dragging her to the surface, he laid her gently on the grass. Closing her nose, he started to resuscitate her.
Not long enough, she started coughing and breathed normally. Her eyes were still closed though and she looked as though she was sleeping. Syaoran did not know what to do next. He did not want to go back to the castle. Everything there would just anger the living hell out of him as it reminds him of his betrothal. He then noticed that the wound was still bleeding thus he thought of bandaging it up. He unzipped her dress slowly as to not wake her up. He slipped the dress down slowly. Her chest was slowly revealed and he noticed that instead of a bra, bandages wrapped her chest. Still it was a female chest and it caused Syaoran to blush tremendously. He had never seen a female chest before and here he was, undressing a girl he had just saved from the brink of death. Once he pulled the dress low enough to see the wound, he gasped. It was large and not like any normal wound he had seen. Syaoran then noticed that the wound look like that of the Li Assassin's claws. He didn't have time to investigate. He took off his shirt and ripped the sleeves. He ripped them into strips and started to wrap the wound.
As he was doing so, the girl's eyes opened. Syaoran looked at her. Emerald eyes clashed with amber ones. The girl looked down and her eyes widened.
"What...What the hell are you doing, you pervert?!" Sakura shrieked as she pushed Syaoran away. She grabbed the top of the dress which was now on her waist. She noticed that her stomach was bandaged and that blood was already leaking through it. Syaoran did not really favor being pushed away when he was actually helping the girl.
"What was that for, girl?! I saved you from drowning to death and even bandaged up your wound for you and that is how you repay me?!" Syaoran shouted. The girl glared at him and zipped up her dress after she had placed it back up.
"Well I am sorry! What would be your reaction if you wake up, half naked to a guy you don't even know?! And my name isn't 'girl'. It is Chae Sakura Kinoto!" Sakura growled out. She then slowly stood up, wobbling slightly. Syaoran stood up immediately and grabbed her arm.
"Where the hell do you think you are going? I still have many questions to ask you!" Syaoran shouted at her. Sakura gave him a look and slipped her arm out of his grip. Slowly, she walked towards the lake and jumped back in. Syaoran stumped. Why the hell did she jump back in?! He then ran towards the lake and was about to jump in when she emerged back. Her face looked crestfallen as she swam towards shore. She then dumped whatever was in her hands and Syaoran gasped. It was the bodies of two Li Assassins. Sakura got out of the lake and sat beside the bodies.
"I don't remember what happened. All I knew was that they came for me at the docks and said something with a 'Kinomoto' to it. I don't remember whhat happened next but I woke up seeing you treating to my wound," Sakura said as she gripped the grass underneath her. Syaoran could not believe it. How could his assasins make such a blunder and mistook her for Sakura Kinomoto? He knew that they were at war and that the marriage was to merge the two, stopping the war at the same time. However, the two parties still have assassins who would go after the other's heir until it is actually over.
"Say...Kinoto... Since my assassins mistook you... Would you like to stay at the castle? I doubt you would want to stay somewhere where they might mistake you for Kinomoto again. At least at the castle, you could work as a maid and not draw attention to yourself," Syaoran suggested. Sakura then looked up at him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Alright..."
oOo
Syaoran gently placed her on her bed. That memory was the reason why he still kept her around. He felt that he was at fault as his assassins mistook her for the Kinomoto Princess. She was just an innocent girl who came to Japan from Korea and she was attacked at the docks for looking like the Princess. Syaoran sighed. Well at least when she is around, the castle was not all that lonely anymore. He finally had someone he could argue with and not get a scared response back. She kept his interest in the castle and made him stay in the castle longer than he would last time. Last time, before she appeared in the castle, he would find some excuse to get out of the castle and do something, instead of being trapped in there like a bird in a cage.
Syaoran sat on the edge of the bed and started to daydream. After all, he had to pry some answers from the girl as to why she started to cry right after she finished singing that song. That song which she sang in the ballroom... It was filled with pain and suppressed emotions. Unknowingly, his hand stroked her hair and he was dozed off to sleep.
He was woken up the next day when someone knocked on the door. Syaoran groaned and opened his eyes. He was still on the bed, however he was lying on the bed with his arms around Sakura. His hand was still in her hair. He sighed and sat up. How the heck did he fell asleep beside Sakura, the worst maid he had in the castle? His brown hair was very messy and he merely ran his free hand through it.
"Come in," Syaoran called out, his voice slightly rough. The door opened to reveal Eriol. He looked slightly shocked to see Syaoran sitting there with his hand in Sakura's hair. Also, Syaoran was in Sakura's room so early in the morning. Eriol bowed slowly and passed Syaoran a few parchments.
"I-I ac-actually want-wanted to gi-give Sa-Sakura-c-chan her le-lett-letters," Eriol stuttered as he looked at the stack of letters in his hands. Syaoran blinked. Why would Sakura has so many letters. Syaoran signalled to Eriol to give him the letters. Eriol obeyed and bowed before walking out of the room. He made sure he closed the door behind him. Syaoran browsed through the envelopes. It was mostly job offers from other villages. There was one from an orphanage in Tomoeda. Syaoran was confused. Why would she know someone from the orphanage in the Kinomoto lands? He merely pushed the suspicions away as he continued to flip through the many envelopes. Then his eyes widened at the last one. It was a pink envelope with the Kinomoto crest printed on it. A large red Sakura petal with two swords piercing through it. Syaoran was shocked beyond words.
Why would Sakura receive mail from the Kinomoto Castle? From the looks of the envelope, it seemed to be something important. He turned the envelope around and noticed that the envelope was sealed with a Kinomoto wax seal. Well, that showed that the content of the letter was really important. Syaoran looked at the peaceful sleeping face of Sakura. How was she involved with the Kinomotos? She couldn't possibly be an assassin for them, right? Sakura then twitched slightly and groaned. Her eyes felt dry. She opened them slowly, only to have her vision blocked by something pink.
"Read it out loud Kinoto," Syaoran said. Sakura grabbed whatever it was on her face and sat up.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?! And what the hell is...." She looked down and saw the Kinomoto Crest printed envelope, "...this...?" she asked. She looked at Syaoran nervously. He was looking at her with hard accusing brown eyes. Sakura knew she could not go against him and thus, she sighed, she broke the seal and took out the pink parchment in the envelope. The words were wrote in flowery alphabets.
Dear Chae Sakura Kinoto
Syaoran eyes narrowed. So she is involved with the Kinomoto since they knew her full name. Sakura continue reading.
I am Sir Touya Kinomoto, Prince of the Kinomoto Kingdom. I am writing this letter as I wish to ask of a request from you. I am aware that you are currently residing in the Li Castle and that it is of great danger that I am sending you this letter. I am putting you in deep waters as I send you this letter. Knowing Prince Syaoran Li of the Li Castle, he would suspect that you are somewhat affiliated with the Kinomotos and even resort to thinking that you are an assassin for us. But rest assured, if this letter is not seen by him, everything would be fine.
'Too late if you ask me,' Sakura thought as she started to read the next paragraph.
But if he already did find out about this letter, then feel free to read it out loud as the content of this letter is not involving the Li Castle. Anyways, let me continue on with the request I wanted to ask of you. I wanted to ask you to come to the Kinomoto Castle as the Princess. I know that this is a lot I am asking of you but I really wish you would accept. You see, the castle has been very dull and lacks energy ever since Sakura Kinomoto, Crown Princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom, ran away. And the situation has not changed for the past three years. Seeing that you are an exact replica of our Princess, I feel that it is best you come to the castle and pretend to be the Princess. I accept anyone you wish to bring to the castle and they would be treated the same as you will be in the castle. I would need you to come for just a week. No more than a week as it is the King's Birthday in a week. After that week, I would have already thought of a reason for you to leave the castle. So please I beg that you accept this and come to the Castle. If you do accept it, please be at the Castle by dawn on the 5th of February and please bring along the envelope. I have told the guards at the gates to welcome you once you show the proof that you are Chae Sakura Kinoto. Thank you.
-Sir Touya Kinomoto-
Sakura stared at the letter in shock after she finished reading it. Touya wanted her to 'act' as the princess in front her parents? Sakura looked at Syaoran who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Prince Syaoran Li...?" Sakura asked slowly. Syaoran looked at her and sighed. He stood up and left. Sakura blinked at his response. So...was that a yes or a no..? Since she had only a few hours left. 5th of February was tomorrow and having to arrive there at dawn is very annoying. Sakura then shrugged and stood up. Straightening her maid outfit, she decided to go to the ballroom to play the piano again. Well, Eriol did tell her that she was allowed to play it anytime she wants, provided that no one was using the ballroom. Sakura walked towards the ballroom briskly. She opened the large doors to the ballroom and smiled to herself. There really wasn't anyone in the ballroom. The white piano was still at the middle of the ballroom. She walked towards it slowly, her black shoes clacking gently on the wooden floor. She sat neatly on the bench, tucking her dress under her. She thought for a while and started to play.
oOo
Syaoran was walking in the hallway near the ballroom. As he approached the ballroom, he heard a note resound through the entire room. Someone was in there, and he had a feeling who it was. He slowly pushed the door open the minute Sakura started to play properly. A bunch of heavenly notes reached his ears. Then Sakura started to sing.
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
That paragraph somewhat related to Syaoran. The moment Sakura was thrust into his life, he had let her break all the rules in which he had uphold to strictly. All the maids except for her suffered whenever they broke those rules. But with Sakura. He had let her shout at him, argue with him and even hit him. Yet somehow, he can't help but let her do it. Because if he doesn't, she would just treat him as her superior and in turn will ignore him like all the other maids does when they have no orders from him.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Sakura could not help but smile as she played the piano and sang that song. It really reminded her of Tomoyo. Tomoyo had been with her all those while she was down and had comforted her without fail. She needed Tomoyo to be there with her no matter where she is. With Tomoyo, she could do anything and everything.
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
Eriol, who happened to be passing by, noticed that the door to the ballroom was open and that someone was singing in it. Smiling, he walked in. He was greeted by Syaoran who had his eyes closed and leaning against the wall beside the door. Eriol looked at Sakura who seemed to glow in the sunlight which streaked in through the windows at the opposite wall. He gently closed the door and stood beside Syaoran to listen to the girl sing.
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Sakura then ended the song with a lingering note. She gave a small sigh. Suddenly, Syaoran and Eriol clapped, making her jump in her bench. She turned to look at them and smiled cheerfully at Eriol but glared at Syaoran.
"What are you doing here, Hiiragizawa-kun?" Sakura asked. Eriol then walked towards her and smiled at her handsomely, though he still had that shy blush on his face.
"I..I was j-just walking pas-past and hea-heard yo-you singing. It was v-very nice, Kino-Kinoto-san," Eriol said. Sakura then laughed merrily.
"Please call me Sakura, Hiiragizawa-kun," Sakura said, her voice filled with happiness. Eriol blushed harder and nodded. He looked down at his shoes.
"T-Then please do ca-call me Eriol," Eriol said. Sakura nodded and smiled bashfully at him. Syaoran, who was forgotten, coughed once and walked towards the two employees. Sakura stood up and curtsied, her smile disappearing immediately. Eriol bowed respectfully at Syaoran. Syaoran merely waved his hand royally.
"I-I'd b-bett-better g-go now. I h-have s-s-some er-errands to f-f-finish," Eriol stated as he bowed once more. He smiled at Sakura and left. Syaoran noticed something different when Eriol talked to Sakura. He did not stutter as much as he talked to him. It seemed as though Eriol was less nervous with Sakura than he was with his own master eventhough he had just met her. Sakura then glared at Syaoran.
"What do you want, your higness?" Sakura asked, her voice laced with boredom. Syaoran glared at her. Well, some things would never change. They still hate each other with a passion.
"Well... I allow you to go to the Kinomoto's Castle," Syaoran started. Sakura's face instantly lit up and she jumped up once.
"REALLY?!" She shrieked as she hugged Syaoran's waist. She had a large smile on her face as she hugged him tightly. Syaoran could not help but blush slightly as he pushed her off him gently.
"But...There is a catch," Syaoran said. Instantly Sakura stopped hugging him and crossed her arms. She sighed in disappointment as she thought of what he may want from her.
"You want me to not argue back everytime you ask me to do something..?"
"No..."
"You want me to clean your room everyday...?"
"You are already doing that,"
"You want me to scrub your back when you taking your bath?"
"Tempting but no.."
"You want me to be your personal maid..?"
"I would rather die than to see your face every morning when you wake me up,"
"Then what is it?!" Sakura snapped as she glared into Syaoran's eyes. They had something in them which made Sakura worried. It was filled with smug and something which just spelt evil. Sakura's eyes widened.
"You can't possibly want me to sleep with you?!"
"Yes..What-What?! NO! EWW NO! I rather sleep with a cow than with you!" Syaoran objected as his face adorned a cherry red blush. Sakura sighed in relief. She then looked back at him with bored eyes and said, " So what is it that you want, your highness?"
"I want you to bring me along to the Kinomoto Castle,"
