Lady and the Outlaws

Two Hearts Two Worlds One Love

"Sakura!" Syaoran called to her. She froze and slowly turned around to face him. "It is time."

Sakura walked over to were the group of men were standing, wishing that she had had time to untie King for, she could use his presence with her. Well, I might as well get this over with sooner instead of later. Hoe! What did I get myself into!

There were about twenty men with Syaoran including Tom, and the rest of the men from the clearing. This made Sakura feel a little better, but not much. As she got closer, the men started to go into the building on their right. It was a long one-story building that seemed to be where the meeting was to take place.

By the time that Sakura had reached the spot were that men had been, only Syaoran remained.

"Now, here is how things are going to go in there," He started gesturing to the building. "I would prefer it if you would tell your story first, that way none of the men would be able to say anything against you part taking in the meeting, I will also be able to know just how involved I can let you be."

Sakura started to protest here but was stopped by a look on Syaoran's face.

"I still remember what I said to you but, I don't want to tell you everything and then find out that you are part of them." He finished.

"I understand, I think." She replied as they walked into the building together.

Inside there was a huge room filled with benches and tables. This must be the mess hall. Sakura thought as Syaoran led her through a door into a smaller room where the rest of the men were waiting for them.

Syaoran led her to the front of the room, then turned and addressed the men. "Everyone listen up!" He called "Things have changed, who much I do not know yet but we will all soon know. In the D8 section of the forest, I met this girl, Sakura, before I could learn much about her, the Taiga struck. I had no choice but to bring her with as I had told you all. Now she will tell her story and then I will share ours." Syaoran concluded and turned to the shocked Sakura and nodded telling her that now was the time to speak her story.

Sakura took a deep breath then began, "My name is Kinomoto Sakura. My father is Lord Kinomoto Fujitaka, and my brother is/was Kinomoto Touya."

The men gasped at this piece of news and looked at each other in astonishment, what was a lady doing in the woods by herself? And a Kinomoto! For they were one of the most powerful families in Japan!

"I have always disliked being a lady and would follow my brother around and he taught me useful things, things that I shouldn't have known. My father had turned a blind eye to all of this, being just glad that his children got along. My governesses didn't approve and so they wouldn't stay very long. For you see my mother had died during childbirth and I never knew her. This was how we were until I turned 15, that is when my friend had a marriage arranged. She ran away and I haven't heard from her since.

After that things were very quiet and I was kept at one of my father's castles. I thought that I was safe from all of that, until my father accepted a proposal for my hand a few days ago. I can't stand the man at all!" She cried.

"I don't have any choice in the matter, so I was just walking in the woods to try and clear my head, thinking of what to do, I have thought of running away but I don't know where to turn to at all. I am scared, I have no one to turn to any more; those that I could turn to are all gone! I felt so alone, like nobody cared about me. My brother was disowned several years age when the trouble in the land started. He supported the rebels and so my father disowned him. The king allowed my father to make it so that who ever married me would get the entire Kinomoto Estate! That is all that the men see me as, away to get the estate! Nothing more! That is all they think about in regard to us girls, away to gain land and power, nothing more, not caring about what we think ad how we feel!" Sakura was screaming by now.

Then suddenly she was quiet as if she were remembering something.

(FLASH BACK)

It was a clear summer day; 15-year-old Sakura was out in the gardens underneath her favorite cherry tree. She was waiting for her friend to come and then they were going to go for a ride.

She was thinking about how things had changed so suddenly in the country, there was talk of a rebellion against the king and some nobles had lost their lands when they tried to show the others of the court why those people wanted to rebel. Most of these nobles had lost everything, some were put in jail and other executed for treason!

"Sakura! Where are you hiding?" A voice pierced threw the air. "Come out, come out where ever you are!"

'Oh no! She's early, I thought that I had more time before she came!' Sakura started to panic.

"There you are! I knew that I could find you here. What's the matter? Have you already heard the news?" A violet-eyed girl asked as she sat down next to Sakura.

"No Tomoyo, What news is there now?"

"That anyone who supports the rebels or talks of sympathy towards them is a traitor to the crown and is to be punished as one, by order of the King! And those who will help turn them in will be rewarded as he, the King, sees fit!"

Sakura looked at her friend beside her in shock, 'why would the King do this?' she thought.

"That's not all I'm afraid, I am betrothed to Lord Yamazaki Takeshi. It was just announced this morning. My mother said that it was necessary with all that is going on in the court. With out a man to protect us…"

"Tomoyo! You know that father would have given any protection your mother and you needed, I know he would!"

"No Sakura, we cannot depend on that, even if we are family, in times like these. My mother said that it was for the best. She was being suspected as sympathizer! Lord Yamazaki knew this, on one would dare to question his loyalty and so he offered his protection in exchange for my hand. There was mother my mother could do but except it, Sakura, you know this."

"And you? What do you think of all this?"

"I must respect my mother's decision in the matter. I am sure that in time… Oh what am I saying! We both know what kind of a man he is, blood thirsty and cruel! I don't know what I am going to do Sakura, we are to be married in a month, I would rather die!"

Tomoyo was on the verge of hysterics, with tears streaming down her face, and started to sob on Sakura's shoulder. Sakura could do nothing but offer her cousin and friend comfort while she thought of a plan to get her out of there.

"Tomoyo, don't worry, we'll think of something." Sakura soothed, she too crying over the devastating news,

(END OF FLASH BACK)

Tears were streaming down Sakura's face. Most of the men were still in shock at this news and they all wondered who was the man that she hated so.

"Who is the man?" Syaoran asked the sobbing girl gently.

"Eriol, Lord Hiiragizawa Eriol." She choked out.

At this all the men were really shocked, if that was possible at all. It could not be the same? Could it?

"Wh... What is it?" the still sobbing girl quietly asked.

"He is the reason that I am here." Syaoran growled a dark look appeared on his face. "He started it all! He turned me over to the court!"
