Hey! I am really sorry that I didn't update, I got sick and well, yeah. But here it is the moment that you all have been waiting for... cue- ERIOL!

Disclaimer: We do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp does.

Several centuries ago…

"I WILL GET MY REVENGE ON YOU! MARK MY WORDS! I DON'T CARE HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT I WILL BEST YOU! YOU'LL BE SORRY! I WILL BRING" Shouted a black haired, blue eyed man with glasses as he went spinning off into darkness.

"I doubt that! You couldn't beat me now, what makes you think that you will beat me in the future?" Another man called after him, this one had dark chocolate, messy brown hair; and amber eyes, which were laughing.

Next to the man was a young woman, brown hair and emerald eyes.

"I don't think that that was wise, my love. I don't like to think about what he could do to our descendents." She said quietly after the black haired man had disappeared.

"You are most likely right dear, but you know how he eggs me on so." The man responded, with a little bit of pleading in his voice "I have absolute faith in them, our line will win in the end."

"Yes, I believe that they will too. Just like us! Right my love?"

"Yes, dear, you are always right."

Now to five years ago, relative to when the story started…

(Capital of Japan, advisor's quarters)

This isn't how it was suppose to go! Eriol thought as he paced his room. I was to get him, sentence him, and then laugh as he DIED! But NO! Li Syaoran just had to disappear, vanish into thin air, like he did all those years ago! It was me turn to WIN! MY TURN!

Eriol had come up with a plot, made it look like Li Syaoran, the GREAT Li Syaoran, was guilty of plotting against King Ryu, presented it to the king himself, go the order to arrest Syaoran. It was going just as he planned, then Syaoran had to go and mess it up by running away!

Why does he always have to mess things up! Eriol thought savagely. I had this planned before he was born! Everything was a set up, and now a century of planning gone to waste! It just wasn't fair!

The servants were frightened, Eriol was dangerous in the best of moods, and no one had seen him this angry before. Even some of the court that heard about what was happening was nervous. Most of them didn't know what the whole fuss was really about, they all knew that Li Syaoran had been discovered plotting against the king, but he, Eriol had found him out in time, and saved the king! But, everyone also knew that when the guards came to arrest him, Li Syaoran had vanished! Knew one had been able to find him, so far. But nobody had ever been able to hide from Eriol for long. SO most of the court just believed that it would be a matter of time before Li was brought to justice.

But nobody ever did! In fact, many people seemed to vanish and none were ever found. Most people ignored this because, well, they were criminals and perhaps someone else had done the job of disposing of them before the officials did.

This made Eriol intolerable.

OK! Now back to the present in our story! A few days after Sakura joined Syaoran…

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T FIND HER? SHE'S A GIRL! WHERE COULD SHE HAVE GONE!"

Man! Eriol sure was in a foul mood! He had just found out that his bride-to-be, Kinomoto Sakura, had been missing for three days now. Not only was he mad that she couldn't be found, but also that he wasn't notified the day she had disappeared.

The whole palace was in an uproar, King Ryu was sending out several companies of troops to join the search for Eriol's missing fiancé. Know one knew how she had left, there were the stable hands who said that she went out riding, and no one could say for sure that they saw her come back! Soon half of the kingdom will be out looking for her; there hadn't been this big of a manhunt since the infamous Li Syaoran had gone missing. Not even when the Lady Daidouji Tomoyo had disappeared. But then again, she was not betrothed to the king's advisor and who was second only to the king too!

"Saddle my horse! I will find her myself!" Bellowed Eriol.

Many people rushed off to prepare for his journey, glad to have a reason to leave and get away from him.

"You must calm down" Ryu chuckled "She will be found, perhaps, she had a spill and some peasants found her and took her in to care for her. You must not keep thinking that everyone does what they do to vex you. It is a wonder that you are still in one piece!"

Had this come from any other person, they would be begging for their life! But since this was the king talking he wouldn't, and the fact that Eriol liked Ryu, he had been easy to turn against his father and elder brother, young though he was. Ryu had already been harboring dislike for his elder, and his father did nothing to win him over. As a child, Ryu had been pushed aside when he wasn't needed, while his brother was always in the spotlight and given any- and every-thing he asked for.

Yes, Eriol had used him to get his revenge on the Li Clan, those who had thwarted him many centuries ago, but now, this WAS his time!

Those stupid Li's wouldn't know what was happening to them, until it would be too late, and he had won! Though it must be admitted, that he had never thought that the Kinomotos would be so easy to get on his side, will, at least Fujitaka. That good for nothing son of his was another story, but he, Eriol had won in the end. It had taken little to persuade Fujitaka to engage his daughter to him, this was something of revenge and a precaution, if Sakura married him then she couldn't marry that Li and then, they wouldn't be together to try and take him down! It was a foolproof plan. At least it was before Sakura and to disappear! This was a problem but Eriol knew he could fix it.

"Your horse is reading sir!" said a pageboy.

"Good! Now if you will excuse me your Ryu, I have my Fiancé to find!" Eriol called to the King as he left the room walking quickly to where his horse was waiting.

Eriol swung up and took off, followed by ten men who were to accompany him. The pace that Eriol set was brutal but the men knew better than to say anything about it. Especially when he was in such a foul mood, and none of the men had seen Eriol this mad before, and why was he? After all, it was just a girl. But no, Kinomoto Sakura wasn't just a girl, she was a Kinomoto that in-and-by-itself was something to be said, and she was considered to be one, if not the most beautiful woman in the court. Some say that she was the most beautiful in the world. Sakura was also very kind and gentle and had all of the qualities wanted in a well-bred lady. No, there was no way that Kinomoto Sakura was "just a girl."

I will find you! Mark my word, I WILL FIND YOU SAKURA! Have no fear or doubt about that and when I do, you will be sorry that you ran away! Eriol thought savagely. And so help me if I find you with him! There will be blood spilt but it will not be mine!

Hey did you like!? Sorry to those of you who are Eriol fans, I just wanted to make him the bad guy for once! Please R&R!

Love,

Sapphire
