Sometime after the door silently slid open revealing the green-eyed girl. Tomoyo had left sometime ago. She wandered around looking for the kitchen. Unaware of the snoring Kero a top the door. He jolted awake when the door closed.
Sakura wound her way around looking for the smells of bread and the missed dinner. Around the corner she could hear a soft bickering of voices. She slowly opened the door and walked thorough the door.
"But if the master can't learn to control his temper he will never-"
"Good evening Miss! What brings you to our humble kitchen? I an Spinel Sun-"Spinel said cutting off Tomoyo's speech.
"And I'm Cerberus! Call me Kero. Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you all too. My name is Sakura." She smiles at them all.
"Well my dear…What brings you to this part of the manor?" Eriol asks her.
"I…was starting to get a little hungry…"She blushed a bit.
"Really! Oh wonderful." Ruby smiled swishing her tail tuning on the burner, and setting out a plate.
"Ruby I don't think that is wise…"Spinel hissed.
"Oh Spinel grow a heart. I'm not about to let this girl go hungry." Ruby sighed pouring a cup of tea.
"Fine. She gets a glass of water, crust of bread and-"
"Spinel my friend she is not a prisoner she is our guest! We must make her feel as welcome here as we do the dust." Everyone chuckles and Spinel rolls his eyes.
"Exactly come Sakura this way." Tomoyo smiled leading her to the dinning room.
"This is no going to be well." Spinel murmured slapping his head.
After dinner Sakura persuaded Spinel and Kero to give her a tour of the manor.
"And here is a lavish painting of the gardens in the spring. The flowers are absolutely lovely." Spinel boasted.
"Yes it does look very beautiful…"Sakura trailed looking at a door in the wall with crude markings on it.
She reached for the knob as if drawn to it. Normaly she would be interested in the beautiful paintings do to her love of art but she couldn't shake the feeling her answers were just behind the door. As she reached for it her hand was slapped away by a tail like whip. Due to the fact that it was a tail.
"Miss I respect you to pay attention." Spinel sighed.
"Oh yes of course please continue…but can you tell me what is in this room?" she asked.
"This? Oh this is just the west tower. Nothing in there but junk and dust." Spinel waved it off hoping to move along.
"So that's the west tower." Sakura smiled her curiosity growing.
"Nice job smarty pants." Kero rolled his eyes.
"Wonder what he's hiding up there?" She asked.
"What the master isn't hiding anything. But maybe you would like to continue the tour. We have a beautiful view of the land and a lovely gallery." Kero implied.
"Really? A gallery? With paintings and sketches?" Sakura asked hopeful.
"Yes! Millions of paintings!" Spinel rambled.
"Hundreds of colors." Kero nodded his head.
As the two rambled and floated away thinking that the young girl was following. But looking back you could see her slowly slipping into the West tower. Walking up the stairs she could see ripped walls, broken furniture, and ripped paintings. She ran into a room tat was even worse than the hallway. Looking around she could see a family portrait of a young boy and his family ripped almost to shreds.
She tries to piece together the painting only to frown in defeat. The only thing she could make out were the stunning amber eyes of the boy and the kind smile the mother had. A bright light caught her attention and she turned to see a branch with Sakura blossoms on it. Intruded she walked over and stared at it. Tempted by the sweet smell she pulled her nose closer to the branch.
As she got closer a shadow stood over her. Startled she turned and found the beast behind her glaring.
"Why have you come here?" He growled backing her away from the branch.
"I…I'm sorry." She stuttered.
"I forbade you to ever come here!" He growled loader looking at his claws.
"I'm sorry I-"
"Get Out!" He shouted over and over sending chairs and books in her direction. One she retreated he looked at the mess he caused and buried his face in shame.
She ran down the stairs to the main hallway where she found Spinel and Kero. She ran past them her riding cape flowing behind.
"Sakura where are you going?" Kero asked worried.
"Promise or no promise I can't stay here anther minute." She held back tears and opened the door to reveal a heavy rain falling it slowly turning into snow. She grabbed Cobalt and ushered the horse to gallop out of the grounds. Scared and confused she got quickly lost. Cobalt came to a quick halt when he heard a movement in the trees. Looking to the source Sakura could see wolves hungry from the lack of hunt.
They growled at the next meal and Sakura turned Cobalt around and they quickly galloped away. The wolves quick on there heels. Nipping and biting at Cobalt's hide and Sakura's feet. Ramming a few into a tree and losing some in a frozen river the galloped faster trying to loose the rest.
One ran a head and frightened Cobalt and sent Sakura flying off. Look up she could see Cobalt kicking and bucking at the wolves . His reins wrapped around a loose branch. Sakura looked around and found fallen one and hit a wolf off of Cobalt's back. Trying to calm him down and defending them she swung at the wolves.
One grabbed the branch in it's mouth and knocked Sakura to the ground. Just before the wolf bit down on her neck it was ripped off of her and a roar could be heard. Throwing the wolf down the beast stood protectively over Sakura. As they circled round him he picked off the weakest and charged.
The fight continued on until a wolf was killed by being thrown into a tree. Possible the alpha. They retreated. Sakura ran over to Cobalt and released his reins. Looking back on the beast she could see him stagger and faint. She turned back to get on but something stopped her.
'He saved my life…maybe he does have a heart…'
She turned back to him and she could see the damp clothes from the rain and snow. And the matted hair where the blood and gashes were. Carefully she walked over and laid her cape on him. He slowly opened his eyes.
"Why are… you still… here…?" he breathed.
"Shhh…Come let's get you back to the manor." She cooed and helped him stand and let him rest on Cobalt's back.
Once back at the Manor everyone rushed into action. Sitting him on a chair Ruby poured some hot water and herbs into a bowl and Tomoyo handed Sakura a towel. Looking at the beast she could see him licking his wounds.
"Don't do that." She frowned.
He growled and everyone instinctively moved away. Sakura started to try to place the cloth on his wounded arm.
"Just. Hold. Still!" she told him finally placing the cloth on his arm.
He howled in pain and roared.
"THAT HURTS!" he yelled in her face.
"If you'd hold still it wouldn't hurt as much!" She yelled back.
"Well if you hadn't run away this wouldn't have happened." He said pointing to his arm.
"If you hadn't frightened me I wouldn't have run away." She glared back.
He opened hi mouth to say something then stopped to think.
"Well you shouldn't have been in the west Tower." He said smartly.
"Well you should learn to control your temper."
He looked away signing that she had won. The rest of them slowly coming out of hiding.
"Now hold still. This might sting a little…"She said taking his arm.
He turned his head and groaned. She looked at him and sighed. Gentle she started to wipe at his wounds. She finally broke the silence and smiled.
"By the way…thank you…for saving my life."
He looked at the young green-eyed girl in wonder. A feeling came over his heart and he whispered back to her.
"Your welcome."
