So here's the next chapter (sorry it took so long) but after hearing from a friend that Snow white and the seven dwarfs was going to turns 75 on December, 21, 2012 I got the motivation I needed to finish it before anything else (aside from some college assignments). Thanks KJC71790 for the information!
A long time ago there was a kingdom where a King and Queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter. The queen looked out the window and said that she had prayed for a daughter like this one with hair as light brown as oak, skin as white as snow and lips pink as sakura trees. The Queen decided to name her child Sakura Snow and throughout the kingdom everyone was happy.
However the kingdom's happiness did not last as the queen fell ill and died shortly after her daughter was born. The king mourned for many years but eventually took it upon himself to find himself another wife and within a year of Sakura Snow's fifth birthday the king was married again to a beautiful woman named Yuko.
However Yuko was very proud of her beauty and whenever she was alone she made her way to a secret room she had in the castle where a large mirror was hung and to the mirror she spoke, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
To these words the mirror's reflection sparkled and a smoke was seen in the reflection until a golden haired man's face appeared with sincere blue eyes and a grin that radiated honesty as it spoke to the Queen, "Oh, Queen this is what is true. No one in all the land is fairer then you."
To these words Yuko breathed a sigh of relief and left the mirror knowing that she was the fairest of them all.
However tragedy struck the kingdom once again many years later when the King sadly died in a war with another kingdom leaving a young Sakura of sixteen all alone save for her stepmother the Queen. At first the Yuko felt sympathy for her stepdaughter, however that was before she asked the mirror a familiar question, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
To this the same image of a man with blond hair and blue eyes appeared in the mirror and spoke to her, "Oh, my queen heed what is true. The one Sakura Snow is fairer then you."
To this Yuko became angry and stormed out of the room pondering what to do. Sure the woman had helped her late husband take care of his daughter but why should she be second rate to her? She was the Queen SHE should be the fairest of them all and because of these thoughts of pride she thought up a plan to be rid of Sakura Snow once and for all.
What Yuko didn't know was what Sakura Snow was close to doing her own task for her. For you see there was a traveler around the same age as her named Syaoran who told Sakura many tales about other lands and where he had been on his journey, as they spoke in a well hidden spot in the garden that Yuko or anyone else in the palace rarely ever visited. Though he never told her exactly where he came from but Sakura choose not to ask out of fear of being rude. Regardless the more Sakura heard the more she wanted to go with the handsome young man but she felt guilty about leaving her stepmother who had been so kind to her since the loss of both her mother and now her father so she told the brown haired boy nothing.
The next morning Yuko told Sakura Snow about a small field just beside the dark forest where there were many different kinds of flowers and that if she wanted she could go there with an escort to keep her safe from anything, whether it was on the way or even if it should come out of the dark forest that all the people in the kingdom were afraid of.
To this Sakura agreed and was accompanied by Yuko's personal Huntsman Seishiro who escorted Sakura to the field full of so many flowers that Even Sakura didn't know what they were called. The young girl began picking flowers and decided to make a gift for Yuko and secretly one for Syaoran as the huntsman walked closer and closer as he pulled a dagger out as he posed to strike.
It was then that Sakura turned around and screamed expecting the dagger to pierce her heart but instead the huntsman stopped knowing that the girl had been kind to many people and wanted to return the favor.
"Please forgive me. The Queen has ordered me to kill you and bring back your heart so she knows that you are dead but I will not kill you because of your kindness towards others. Run into the forest run far away from this land and never return if you truly value your life I will lie to the queen. Go now!" ordered the huntsman as he turned around and killed a small bear and took its heart to bring back to Yuko to make her believe that Sakura was truly dead.
Sakura managed to thank the huntsman before she ran into the dark woods knowing that no one would find her there and tried to make her way back to the meeting place where she would ask Syaoran to take her with him on his journey.
However she had no idea how thick the forest was and found herself lost and scarred and found herself waking deeper and deeper into the woods as the sun began to set and as she walked she thought she heard something behind her and began to run until she tripped over a root and tumbled down a hill into a clearing where she saw a small cottage. Not knowing what to do Sakura Snow walked towards the small house and entered the house calling out to anyone who might live in the small house but no answer came.
It was then that Sakura Snow realized that the sun was far too low for her to continue back to the castle so she concluded that whoever lived in the cottage must have left on a trip so Sakura went over to the cupboard and found seven small plates along with seven small spoons, forks, knives and mugs. Taking one of each Sakura Snow walked over to the pantry and took just enough food to quiet her rumbling stomach sat down in one of seven little chairs and when she was finished she walked upstairs where she found seven little beds and fell asleep in one of them.
However at that very moment the owners on the house, a total of seven dwarves, began to approach their home humming their song…
"Hai ho, hai ho. Its home from work we go Hai ho, hai ho, hai ho, hai ho."
Just then the eldest dwarf named Shogo opened the door as the other six followed inside. Their names in this order: Shogo, Kurogane, Sorata, Masayoshi, Ryu-o, Watanuki, and Kusanagi.
The dwarves instantly knew something was wrong as they each took note of something
"Someone has been sitting in my chair," said Shogo
"Someone's been eating our food!" grumbled Kurogane
"Someone's been using my plate" said Sorata
"Someone's been using my fork," said Kusanagi
"Someone's been using my spoon," said Masayoshi
"Someone's been using my mug," said Ryu-o
The dwarves began to look around the house until Watanuki came down from upstairs and said in a quiet but panicked voice "Someone's been using my bed and she's still here!"
At this the dwarfs slowly walked up the stairs doing their best to be as quiet as possible and when they reached the bedroom they noticed the sleeping figure of Sakura and were overcome with surprise and pity for the tired girl that they decided to let the girl sleep in Watanuki's bed until morning while Watanuki slept downstairs.
The next morning Sakura Snow awoke to find all the dwarves standing beside her bed to which she jumped back in fear and surprise but after she realized the dwarfs meant her no harm she relaxed and told them how and why she was in their house. After hearing poor Sakura's story all the dwarves agreed to let her stay with them but one of the dwarfs, Kurogane the irritable one of the group spoke up, "Hold it! I say that if the girl stays she should earn her keep! She should cook and clean while we are away at our mines but when we return we will provide for her, agreed?"
The dwarves mumbled among themselves some agreed, some disagreed but Sakura answered for them by agreeing to Kurogane's terms before any of the dwaves could say anything more and so the days passed with Sakura living among the dwarves. However as the days passed Sakura began to miss her friend Syaoran so she asked the dwarves to look for a traveling boy around her age with brown hair that was named Syaoran while they head off to the mines every day. Even when Sakura was alone she spoke to the animals about Syaoran and the traveling tales that he had told her.
After a few days without seeing Sakura Snow at their secret meeting place in the palace garden Syaoran began to search throughout the land for her worried that she may have been captured or worse.
Meanwhile Yuko who still believed that Sakura was dead began to question whether she truly was the fairest of them all and went to the magic mirror and spoke, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
To this the mirror once again conjured the familiar face of the blond haired, blue-eyed man and spoke, "Oh my Queen heed what is true Sakura Snow is fairer then you. For just beyond the forest of darkness, in a cottage where seven dwarves dwell, Sakura Snow stays alive and well."
To this the Queen became furious and wandered about the palace trying to think up a plan to kill Sakura once and for all until she came up with a plan. In the dead of night, the Queen prepared a disguise to make her appear as an old hag woman and just before the sun rose over the mountains in the distance Yuko made her way to the forest with a basket full of green apples and one red one that had been placed under a powerful curse.
As the dwarves prepared to leave Sakura reminded Shogo and the others to continue to look around for Syaoran to which Shogo agreed so long as Sakura promised not to let anyone inside while they were away to which Sakura agreed. Sometime after the dwarves left while Sakura Snow was busy cleaning the cottage she heard the sounds of an old woman who had collapsed outside of the cottage and was so full of pity she decided to ignore Shogo's warning and helped the old woman inside, not knowing that the old woman was actually a disguised Yuko.
Yuko then began to thank Sakura Snow for her kindness she pulled out the red apple from inside the basket and told her a false story about a fairy that had enchanted this apple in her garden and that it would grant one wish to anyone that took the first bite out of it. Sakura Snow was enchanted by the tale and asked what the old woman would wish for but the sly Yuko said she would give Sakura the apple as thanks for helping her and placed the apple into her hands. Sakura then began to think of Syaoran and thanked the old woman as she took a bite out of the apple and swallowed before falling down to the floor dead as the queen removed her disguise laughing that she was now the fairest in all the land.
It so happened that the dwarves were returning from the mines as they noticed the queen leaving the house laughing in pure triumph at killing Sakura Snow. To this the Dwarves became angry at the Queen and chased her with swords and pickaxes through the forest to a cliff that she began to climb until her foot slipped and she fell to her death below.
With the Queen now dead the dwarves returned to the cottage where she was found not moving or breathing but so beautiful that she was even in death the dwarves built her a glass coffin and wept for three days.
The news of the dwarves and Sakura's death spread throughout the forest and the animals; one by one each began to search out the boy named Syaoran that she spoke about when she was in the cottage alone.
Syaoran continued his search for Sakura only growing more and more worried as the days passed. He had just began hiking up a mountain hoping that perhaps a village on the other side had seen her until an owl flew down onto his shoulder and spoke to the young traveler informing him that Sakura Snow was dead and now lied in a glass coffin just beyond the dark forest.
To this Syaoran asked the owl to take him to the dark forest to which the owl agreed and within a day Syaoran found himself just outside the forest where the owl flew away and a raven flew down to Syaoran's shoulder and said he would guide him through the dark forest to the dwarves cottage to which Syaoran agreed and soon he found himself just outside the cottage where the raven flew away and Syaoran noticed that inside the cottage six of the seven dwarves sat in their chairs eating while the last dwarf, Kurogane, guarded the glass coffin where Sakura lied dead.
Syaoran then entered the cottage to the dwarves surprise before Syaoran explained that he wished to see Sakura but the dwarves refused saying that it would do him no good to see her now but just then a dove flew into the cottage and told Syaoran that it would take him to the glass coffin and Syaoran followed the dove to the glass coffin where Kurogane pulled out his sword warning Syaoran not to approach the coffin.
Syaoran began to explain his reason for being there and begged Kurogane to let him at least say goodbye to her but Kurogane being both stubborn and guilty about the way he treated Sakura refused. It was then that Syaoran sat there by a tree just watching the coffin from a distance along with Kurogane for three more days until the grumpy dwarf finally relented and opened the glass coffin allowing Syaoran to say his farewell to the girl he had loved.
When Kurogane finally opened the coffin Syaoran walked up to it and was surprised to see that despite all the time that had passed Sakura Snow was still just as beautiful in death as she was when they had first met and so Syaoran leaned down and kissed the dead girl on the lips and instantly Sakura's eyes began to flutter open and Syaoran threw his arm around her as both he and Kurogane began to cry tears of joy as they took her back to the cottage where the six dwarves were also overjoyed to see Sakura alive again.
And so it was then that Syaoran confessed his love to Sakura and told her that he was the son of a King from a foreign land and if she would have him he would make her his bride to which Sakura happily accepted. It was a wonderful wedding where both Sakura's and Syaoran's kingdoms had become joined together and the dwarves had fashioned the both of them fine gifts using the gold and jewels they had found in their mines as wedding gifts to the happy couple and the enchanted mirror disappeared from the room Yuko had kept it in never to be seen again.
And they all lived happily ever after…
Okay so there you have it the tale of Snow White. Tell me what you think in your comments because they inspire me! (and in all honesty I'm not sure if I spelled everyone's name right)
To explain which dwarf was which here's a list of who's who and why I choose them…
Doc- Shogo- okay so Shogo's not a doctor but he is a leader which Doc pretty much was (besides Grumpy) so it felt like a good idea to have Shogo the dwarfs leader
Grumpy- Kurogane- does this really need to be explained? (though he WAS considered to be the huntsman for a time)
Dopey-Sorata -a slightly fitting role for Fai but I like him better as the role of the Magic Mirror. I choose Sorata for this role because he does act a little dopey in the manga during the Kudan arc especially with Arashi around
Bashful- Masayoshi- to those who don't remember him he's the shy boy from the Kudan world that Syaoran helped him realize that he wasn't as weak as he thought he was. So… does anything else need to be said about why I choose him for this part?
Happy-Ryu-o -again I was gonna have Fai play this part but I liked him better as the magic mirror. Ryu-o just felt right for this part because he seemed to be the only other person besides Sakura, that could make Syaoran smile so it felt right
Sleepy- Watanuki- Well he DOES sleep a lot if you've ever read XXXholic
Sneezy- Kusanagi- uhhh… he's a guy? (and the fork line seemed fitting considering his weapon during the Oni arc)
