Through and Through
Chapter 2: The Childhood and the Looming Doom
Snowlow, Earth
"I hate you! I hate you I HATE YOU!!"
"Well, I'm your brother so deal with it! That boy was, is, and will never be good for you so just leave it alone!" Prince Touya of the Snowlow people explained to his 20 year old sister.
"I am 20 years old Touya, I'm way passed the age when you can tell me who I can be friends with. What's the matter with you? Don't you trust me?" Sakura exasperatedly asked.
This argument has been going on since Princess Sakura's beauty has been spread throughout the kingdom. Many hopefuls from all over the kingdom arrived at the Royal Castle's doorstep asking for the young princess' hand. Unfortunately for them, a Prince also exists and this prince is Sakura's older over protective brother.
"Does it not concern you that I will die a spinster? Without any children to play and to raise no one to love all because of your stupid rule that no one is ever going to be good for me! Do you think that I'm so stupid that I CANNOT AND WILL NEVER ever ever be able to fall in love with someone worthy of my affections! It's easy for you, you knew who you wanted to marry the moment she waltzed pass you and I never had any objections because I trust your judgement. I cannot for the life of me believe your audacity to not give me the same treatment! I hate you!" Sakura said in a quiet angry and very vengeful voice her voice dripping with hate. Her eyes focused on her brother's face emphasizing her point.
"I will trust your judgement when you have proven that you can find a boy that will not take advantage of you." Touya argued back.
"How will I ever find a boy if I can't even… arrrrrrrgh never mind you won't listen anyway." Dejected Sakura turned around to run away from the castle.
"That's right run away like the immature brat that you are!" Touya taunted.
Unfortunately for Touya he did not know, that the moment he let his sister run past the castle gates was the moment he decided that he won't see his sister again. Well not for a few years at least.
Sakura, grew up normally, or as normal as a princess could. Her parents succumbed to her every will and yet she did not grow up to be spoiled or demanding. As she grew older her powers grew as well, developed by her magical training her power became one of the greatest the kingdom has ever felt. Her brother Touya can only watch as his sister became more powerful than him. In the beginning he felt jealous but as he matured he realized that his sister needed this power in order to protect the jewel from being taken away from her, and from then on his only mission was to protect his sister from any danger.
The jewel was passed onto Sakura the day she turned 15. The day her powers grew enough to protect the jewel inside her heart. The day her life forever changed and the people around her treated her with fear. The young men that came to court her were after her power and not her heart. As a result she became meticulous about choosing whom she should hang around with. At that particular day though, three days after she turned 20, she decided she will walk around in the gardens with Alerrio but it is with great luck, for her brother, that Touya found them and scared the boy away. This angered Sakura greatly and that is why she finally confronted her brother hoping to ask for a little more space. But to no avail.
"Father I do wish to marry that ugly piece of…"
"Well did I say that you had a choice? Of which part of the family did you get your arrogance from, because you might've caught their stupidity too!" Florendo, the King roared at his son.
"If I remember correctly you're the one that everyone calls arrogant so I'm guessing I got that from you and the stupidity go and guess who I got that from too!" Xiao-Lang said his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You will marry that girl whether it is what you want or not." The King said with finality.
"Then you will wait forever my father because I will not marry that girl. It's snowing outside I will go and ride kishkush!" Xiao-Lang stormed of the room to put on his riding gear and went to the stables to retrieve his horse kishkush.
Sakura wandered off, not noticing that her snowflakes have brought her near the border of the Eastern Territories. She was very upset and she does not wish to give be anywhere near her brother. As the snowflake she's riding neared the ground she transferred to another one.
You see in this earth, the snowflakes were as big as 2 thumbs put together. Her people made it so, so they can hide away in it and live inside it. Their kingdom is hidden under millions of snowflakes piled together so they will not be seen by other creatures to torture and to kill. Also to hide away from the Verkalins that want the Jewel and the Barbaradians out to hunt them as a sport.
Sakura landed on the ground and started walking around unaware of her surroundings…
"Arghh how I hate him, he's so inconsiderate of my feelings! He's lucky I'm not rude or else I would've bashed his stupid bimbo of a fiancé Mariella to get back at him. Oh!! Argh!" Sakura exclaimed angrily.
In her anger she forgot to be careful and she started to kick the snow around her. Unbeknownst to her she has company…
After that frustrating fight with his father, Xiao-Land decided to ride out into the forest to clear his mind and to calm his racing heart. He was very angry. He did not want to marry Mei-Ling and she does not want to marry him either. They're fathers grew up together and they thought that this will bring prosperity throughout the kingdom. Well, unfortunately for their fathers, Mei-Ling does not wish to marry him and neither does he.
"…so inconsiderate of my feelings! He's lucky I'm not rude or else I would've bashed his stupid bimbo of a fiancé Mariella to get back at him. Oh!! Argh!"
Xiao-Land heard a tiny voice and flying snow and hopped off from his horse, tied kishkush and slowly approached the little source to investigate.
"I hate him I hate him I hate him!" Sakura continued to kick around the snow unaware of Xiao-Land slowly creeping up behind her with a small clear bag.
"GOT'CHA!" Xiao-Lang exclaimed!
"Let me go what are you doing?!" Sakura squirmed around her bag and started pounding her fists on it.
"I am capturing you, you are on my lands and so this means I own you." Xiao-Lang exclaimed as he examined the tiny beauty inside his magical bag
"LET ME GO!" Sakura said as she started glow pink. Sakura knew that this will save her for no one is powerful enough to survive through her attacks.
Xiao-Lang was shocked by the amount of power this tiny creature is emitting and slowly he started to feel very very warm…
