Chapter 6: Bonding and Breaking
Li sat upon the chestnut horse and aimed his bow. Absolute calm came over him as the target came into view. He drew back the bow and felt his muscles bunch and pull. He let go and it flew through the air and struck the tree. He smirked. He was practicing for lack of anything better to do. His shirt was draped on a tree branch near the grove. He was covered in sweat from training. Clapping caught his attention and he looked across the grove and saw Sakura smiling. The pre-dawn light illuminated her as she watched him from the shadows.
" Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? " he called.
" Aren't you supposed to be as well? " she shot back walking over to him. The horse turned its head at the sound of her voice and nuzzled her. Sakura giggled in delight.
" Hey cut that out! Quit it! " she giggled. Li smiled at her warmly not being able to do anything other.
" Looks like he likes you. " he said as Sakura stepped away smiling. " Who could resist this cute face? " she giggled. Li snorted. " Geez, you're full of it. " he said turning away, looking into the distance.
Sakura smiled brightly. " At least I'm not the only one. You take up a large part of that area yourself. "
" Cute. " Li replied dryly and fired his arrow, where it stuck the tree in the centre of the target.
" How do you do that? " Sakura asked curiously looking up at him on the horse.
" Easily. " he replied. Sakura sighed and shot him an irritated glance. " That wasn't what I asked and you know it. "
" Want to try? "
" Wh-at? " Sakura asked stepping back in shock. " I wouldn't – couldn't - ! "
" That's why I'm going to show you. " Li said sounding serious.
" I thought you were crazy before but now I know you're mad! " Sakura said and started walking away. " As if I would be able to pull the string back on that thing. " she muttered looking down at her tiny wrists. " Ok I can admit it (grudgingly) I am not that strong. I was breed to be delicate and elegant. My brother's the strong one. "
" What are you afraid of? " Li challenged. Sakura stopped dead in her tracks. " I am not afraid of anything. "
" Then prove it. " Li's eyes flashed and Sakura gulped.
" I'll probably end up breaking it or killing something. Trust me, weapons and I don't mix. " Li smirked at her antics. " Trying to get out of it isn't going to help you. I won't take no for an answer Cora. Here, I'll help you up. " Li lent over and lifted her off the ground and placed her in front him on the saddle. He waited until she was settled and comfortable before reaching his hands around her and holding the bow out in front of them.
" Now hold it like this. " he showed her and she did so.
" Now pull it back and aim the arrow. "
Sakura tried to pull the string back but it was impossible. The arrow flung a few feet and landed on the ground. Sakura stared at it and burst out giggling. The horse nickered and shook its head in amusement.
" How pathetic was that?!! " she giggled. " Told you I would be hopeless. "
" Here try again. " Li reached behind him and pulled out another arrow without turning around. He slotted it for her and she aimed it. He reached around and helped her hold it, his hands guiding her own. He helped her pull it back and together they let it go and it flew through the air and hit the target.
" That doesn't count. You helped. " Sakura pouted.
" But you aimed it. " Li countered smiling. The horse nickered and shifted and Sakura suddenly became very aware of how close the two of them were. His arms were wrapped around her waist as he held the reins. Li seemed to realize it as well, because she felt him tense against her back.
" Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. " Sakura murmured and began to swing down, now sitting sideways, before Li placed his hand on her shoulder effectively stopping her.
" Maybe it was. " he murmured near her ear and she shivered.
Sakura turned slowly and met his gaze. Instead of meeting cold amber, she met blazing fire and she gulped. Li lifted her chin searching her gaze as he leant down to kiss her. Li tasted the sweetness on her lips and groaned, deepening the kiss immediately. Unable to control her traitorous body, she wrapped her arm around his neck falling under his spell.
Li let his hand stray and laid it on her stomach as he drew her closer to him in the saddle. Sakura's eyes flew open, pulling back gasping for air stunned and mindless. What was going on?!! Li studied her as he too tried to catch his breath. Vibrant emerald flashed at him as she gazed at him shyly but unafraid. Li leant his forehead against hers and closed his eyes, trailing his fingers through her hair.
" I swear you're a gift as well as a curse. " Li whispered.
" You're not exactly joy and roses yourself you know.. " Sakura whispered back. Li kissed her again chuckling, letting his hands explore her body. Her felt her pulse race at the base of her neck and her soft curves and heated skin.
" This is an unfair advantage Xiao Lang Li. " Sakura muttered breathlessly. " You can do what you like with me and at this moment I will let you. " Li smirked wickedly. " At least I don't have to argue with you to do it.. " Sakura ran her hand through his messy hair and down his jaw line. She had always wanted to touch him like this without barbs or arguments – she just hadn't realized how strongly. She flicked her gaze up to his and ducked her head quickly, shyly.
" Don't be afraid. " he whispered and her cheeks turned pink. She raised her head and placed her hand along his jaw. She reached up refusing to meet his gaze less she lose all courage and gently brushed her lips over his.
" Come on. " he suddenly kicked the horse forward. " I want to show you something. " They galloped over the hill and down into a small gully. " Look. " Sakura did and gasped. In front of her was a small cluster of cherry blossom trees.
" How beautiful. " she breathed.
" I thought of you when I found it this morning. " Li said honestly. He lifted her down and jumped down after her. Sakura placed her hand lovingly on the trunk of one of the trees as if she was listening to its song.
She turned around and stared at Li with an expression that Li had never seen before. Her emotions were running wild and all the weeks of pent up emotion were making her daring. Her heart was pounding. Li walked over to stand before her and stroked her cheek softly. The breeze flittered passed them scattering a few cherry blossom petals around them. He leant down and kissed her again unable to get enough of her and this time, Sakura was the one to deepen it. Li broke away from her staring into her eyes.
" I want you. " Li whispered desperately. Sakura's eye flew wide. Madison had told her what happened between a man and a woman, but she had never experienced it. Li sensing her fear, smiled comfortingly.
" I won't force you Cora. It'll drive my insane, but I refuse to force you. "
" We can't here. " Sakura stated blushing. " What if someone saw us? "
" Then they'll leave us to it. " Li whispered and kissed her neck.
" In broad daylight? " Sakura squeaked, gasping as he found a sensitive spot.
" It can be as long or as quick as you want it to be. " Li whispered concentrating on her collarbone.
" But this is wrong Li. You don't love me. " Sakura stated in a whisper. Li paused and raised his head to look at her.
" Two people don't have to be in love to share it Cora. " he whispered. Sakura met his gaze warily. " Let me show you. " he whispered and started to undo the laces on her black corset-like vest. Remembering her pouch of secreted jewels and her necklace she stopped him.
She looked at him guardedly for a moment and then looked down at their hands that were clasped together, his still on her laces of her corset. Her mind was in delegation. Should she or shouldn't she? He had said he didn't love her and she had sworn that she would only go for one that truly loved her so it wasn't like they were going into this blindly. The argument that she had had with her father ran through her mind once again. Her heart tightened at the painful memory.
" Cora? " Li asked unsure.
Sakura looked up and met his gaze. She knew that he had felt the same attraction between them as she had, they wouldn't be here if it was otherwise. Her mind over-ruled her heart and she smiled up at him. She liked Li a lot and he was a very good person even though he tried to hide it. She knew she'd have to go back home one day and if she was going to be forced to marry someone that she didn't like let alone love, then she would rather have had this moment then not at all.
She opened her mouth to speak when she heard their names being called in the distance. Eriol was obviously looking for them. They didn't have much time – she saw the truth reflected in Li's eyes as well. She smiled brightly up at him and gave his hands a quick squeeze.
" Make love to me Li. Here and now as we are. "
Li's eyes brightened before he kissed her passionately, letting her know how happy he was. Li backed her up against the bark of the tree and with one swift movement, lifted her up and braced her against the trunk of the tree. Petals drifted like snow all around them, as Sakura wrapped her legs around his waist. They continued to kiss, his body keeping her pinned to the tree, his hand skimming over her smooth skin of her leg under her skirt making Sakura shudder. The reality of what they were about to do made fear knock her back into reality. Sensing her mood Li met her gaze and tried to reassure her.
" Relax. " Li whispered and started kissing her down her slender neck.
Kami-sama what the hell am I doing?!! What if I hurt her?! Please give me patience and understanding! Give a blind man a helping hand when he has no idea what the hell he is doing!
Sakura gasped as pleasure shot through her. Her eyes glazed over and she panted for breath. But still fear plagued her. She felt him fumbling with his tunic and shifted impatiently. She wanted this. Needed it. Mother forgive her for becoming a wanton but this man stoked something inside her that no other had. She had always been taught to believe in fate and to go with destiny.
" I'm afraid. " she whispered. His head shot up and she saw the surprise hidden there.
" Don't be. I'll take care of you. I give you my word." Li replied breathing hard. It was no or never. He lowered her gently and Sakura's eyes widened as she felt him where no other had been..
" Relax. " Li bit out, his control was slipping. Sakura felt uncomfortable and she squirmed trying to lose the feeling.
" Stop moving! " Li ground out, biting her lower lip as punishment. Li felt the resistance and his eyes widened in complete shock. He had mentally prepared himself for it as a possibility but the knowledge still shocked him. " You're a virgin?!! " he cried stunned.
" Is that a crime? " Sakura challenged. Li started to pull away from her. " I had no idea you were a virgin. " he whispered, but Sakura tightened her legs around his waist. " You started this, you can finish it. " she ground out firmly her emerald eyes daring him to contradict her.
The blossoms continued to fall amongst the sounds of heavy panting and moans. The wind scattered the petals and played with the long strands of grass around the gully. But the young couple heard none of it.
------------------------------------
Sakura gasped as she tried to catch her breath. She leant against Li for support. The wind was cool against the flush on her face, cooling the sweat of her forehead.
" You should have told me. " Li stated when he had his breath back. Sakura shot him a look. " Would it have mattered? "
" Yes. Because I would have made sure you wanted it. " Li said turning his head away, his fists clenching at his side.
" I wouldn't have let you touch me if I didn't want it. " Sakura stated firmly feeling no regret. Li stopped and looked at her searching her gaze. " But- "
Sakura went over to him and kissed him softly. " What's done it done and I feel no regret. That is the truth within my heart. Please do not regret what we shared for I could not bare it. " she ran her hand down his cheek and smiled wistfully. " Unfortunately we must head back. Eli is looking for us. "
----------------------------------------------------
A few days later
Sakura, Li, Eriol, Kero and Suppi walked/flew into town and saw the soldiers. Sakura saw Julian and her heart tightened. He was over talking to some of the villagers and was showing them a piece of paper - most probably her picture. The rest of his men were on the other side of the street nearest them.
She shot Li and Eriol a look and wondered what they were going to do. Since that memorable day with Li a few days ago he had warmed considerably towards her. She never wanted that to change. She looked back to Julian and wondered what she was going to do. If Li and Eriol saw that picture they'd know she had lied to them. And if by some strange fate that Eriol didn't recognize her royal self, there was no doubt that Li would remember her appearance the first time they had met.
A girl cried out and they turned to see one of the soldiers upon his horse grab at a girl and refused to let her go. The girl begged to be released, but to no avail. She swiped at him and clawed his cheek in desperation and terror. She must have drawn blood as the soldier wiped his cheek. He backhanded her angrily and she fell into the dust with a strangled cry.
Sakura's eyes widened with horror and followed by a fury that she had never known existed raged through her body. She clenched her fists and strode purposely towards the whole group of laughing soldiers as the girl sat up shakily.
" Cora no! " Li hissed and tried to grab her arm, but she was too quick for him.
" Cora come back! " Eriol called softly and then took off after her, Li following.
Sakura glared with fury as she caught their gazes. She wouldn't turn away now. How dare they treat a woman like that! They stopped laughing as she stopped in front of them.
" So you think that's funny do you? " Sakura demanded coldly, indicating the prone figure in the dust at her feet. The girl looked up at the sound of her voice and her eyes widened.
" Look men. " Rulf stated. " Another one is looking for some fun. " His companions burst out laughing.
" Cora. " Li begged, trying to pull her away, but she pulled her arm out of his grip and stepped forward.
" What is the problem here gentlemen? What has the young woman done to deserve the back of your hand? " she demanded coldly.
" She's supposed to be back in our homeland doing what she's been hired for, not out here disobeying orders. " he sneered down at the figure near her feet. Sakura didn't look at the girl.
" Very well then. I'll buy her off you. " Sakura stated, making them acquit their laughter.
" You can't buy her! " Li stated in shock. " We don't have any money! "
Rulf laughed. " You should listen to you little friend there missy. He knows what his talking about. " his gaze roamed over her with a smirk forming on his mouth. " But you on the other hand would make a fine morsel for my men and I. How about I give your friends here a commendable amount and you come along with me? "
Li was quick to protect his own and raised his bow loaded with an arrow. " I'd watch what you say. " Li grated coldly. " Apologize sir, for your insult. "
Eriol withdrew his sword his eyes flashing like cold sapphires. He stepped up behind the young woman on the ground never taking his eyes of the man in front of him. Rulf raised his eyebrow mockingly.
" As for payment, " Sakura stated continuing where she left off, walked over to Rulf upon his horse. She withdrew the leather pouch from inside her dress and tipped it up. " I think that this will be sufficient enough. "
All eyes bulged as small gems and stones ran like trickling water out into Sakura's cupped hand. Sakura ignored Eriol and Li's shocked glances as she continued to stare coldly at the man in front of her. He didn't move so she thought she'd taunt him with what she had seen him do.
" Tell me, do you always wait until your commander has his back turned before you strike? " She watched the man called Rulf shoot Julian a quick look and then turn back to her and smirk. He leant forward and took the stones from her hand and pocketed them.
" Do you know when to shut you mouth little whore. " Sakura's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Suddenly a shriek went up as the girl at their feet, obviously tired of being silent, collected herself and jumped up, her hands clutched into fists at her chest.
" Oh Kami-sama in heaven! What did you do to your lovely hair?!! "
" Madison?!! " Sakura tensed her head whipping around to stare in shock at her.
" Oh I've missed you! " Madison launched herself and hugged her tightly. " Where have you been? "
" What is going on? " Li demanded, lowering his bow, confusion written clearly on his face. Sakura didn't look at them, her battle, for the moment, was with Rulf.
" Li, Eriol - this is Madison. Madison the one with the bow is Li. The other is Eriol. " she said over her shoulder. Madison stared at them uncertainly before locking eyes with Eriol.
" The gems will be sufficient enough in compensation for letting your mouth run away with you bitch. " Rulf said. " But the girl is to come with us immediately so she can be punished. "
Madison whimpered and clutched to Sakura's sleeve in terror. Rulf moved the horse around and grabbed Madison's arm and dragged her from out behind Sakura.
" Help me! " Madison cried at Sakura. Her violet eyes huge and terrorfied.
Sakura's eyes flared with pain. If she revealed herself, she'd lose Li and Eriol. They'd hate her for lying, but she couldn't let them take Madison. Not her best friend and family.
" Take you filthy hand from her this instant! " Sakura commanded with full authority in her voice. Li and Eriol looked at her surprised.
" What's going on here?!! " Julian, having been drawn to the commotion, came riding over assessing the situation.
" Nothing sir. We were just dealing with this disobedient girl and this whore who thinks she has a right to say as she pleases. " Rulf stated and started to walk his horse away.
Sakura eyes flashed. Enough was enough.
" Tell me you son of a whore-mongering bastard. Do you always refer to your princess as a whore and a bitch? " she asked with full authority still present in her voice.
The small group went dead quiet.
" I beg your pardon? " Julian questioned startled, but Sakura chose to ignore him. She pulled out her necklace and the star and the cherry blossom sparkled brightly in the sun's gaze.
" I, Princess Sakura Kinomoto, daughter of King Aiden and Queen Natasha and sister to Crown Prince Tori, bid you to answer the question Rulf. I expect an answer, and I suggest that you choose your words carefully. " she stated seriously.
" Your Highness! " Julian whispered in shock, recognizing the pendant and Sakura herself. He jumped off his horse and bowed before her. The others realizing that they were in trouble jumped off their horses and bowed ( all except Rulf who still sat upon his horse in stunned silence).
Sakura heard a choked gasp from behind her and knew that it was Li. Her heart tightened painfully, she could feel his eyes boring into her back seeking answers but she couldn't let anything slip now. She had this bastard to deal with.
" Well Rulf? " Sakura barked condemning him with her eyes.
" I - well - " he stuttered. Sakura's glare hardened into frost.
" Well since you have nothing to say I suggest the first thing you do is take your hand off my hand maid. " Sakura's voice dripped with venom. She took satisfaction in seeing him drop Madison's arm like a hot poker.
" Star. " her furious gaze flicked to Julian. He stepped forward and bowed low. " I'm very disappointed in you Julian. " her voice lowered as she spoke his name. " I thought you had respectable men amongst you ranks. I want you to comb through your men and any who think that it's funny to pick on a defenseless girl like these gentlemen here, I want them brought to my father for trial immediately. " Sakura commanded. " Am I understood? "
" Yes your highness. " Julian bowed lower before straightening up.
" Oh and Star. " Sakura said looking to Rulf with a wicked gleam coming to her eyes. I know how to play your games as well…
" Yes your highness? "
" I want Rulf's pockets emptied. He stole from me what our agreement never finalized. That is treason. "
" You lying bitch! " Rulf yelled and struck her.
Drawn also by the commotion, all the villagers had gathered to watch and listen to the scene unfolding in front of them. The streets went quiet as all the villagers saw the soldier strike the woman who some muttered was the missing princess. They saw the red mark bloom across her pale skin and started talking amongst themselves. Julian and three other soldiers grabbed Rulf off his horse and pulled his hands behind his back.
Sakura raised herself to her full height and glared at Rulf. So he still thought her a lowly woman with no real purpose. She would see about that. It may not be her hand that would strike him but she would be the smiling face full of satisfaction in the background. She turned and the sunset reflected off her necklace.
" Julian where is my brother? I know he was traveling with you. " she demanded. Rulf's eyes widened.
" He's not far from here your highness. The king and your brother have been extremely worried about you. He has been combing the country side looking for you. He will be pleased when he hears that you have been found. "
" That does not concern right now Captain Star. Send word immediately to my brother. We'll let Tori decide what to do with such treachery. " Sakura spat coldly. " Tell him that I'll be at that inn over there. "she pointed behind her. " He will find me awaiting him inside. " Julian and the others bowed and she turned around.
Emerald met cold amber and she had to force herself not to cringe. So this was the way it was going to be. She would swallow the pain and walk with her head held high.
" Please follow me. " she asked, bowing her head. " You are a part of this whether you like it or not. " she whispered.
With her head held high, back straight, she walked past the stunned crowd, ignored Kero's dropped jaw and walked into the inn.
Sakura paced back and forth in front of the fire. Hands behind her back, she was oblivious to the cold amber eyes watching her as she completed another circuit. The fire crackled loudly and threw out enough heat to make sweat run down her back. The log on the fire gave a loud 'pop' and then settled back into burning steadily.
The door suddenly flew open and every one looked up. Tori scanned the room and met her startled gaze. He stared back at her shocked. She figured that she had changed a lot since she had last seen him. Both inside and out. Sakura nodded her head and quit her restless pacing.
" Hai Tori. It's me. " she stated softly, loud enough for him to hear. " And it was also me that you were pursuing back at the Kamiya Inn." She revealed haltingly. He deserved to know after all.
" He was who you were avoiding?!! " Li demanded. Sakura turned to face him and nodded. " Hai. " Li glared in return at her and turned his head away in disgust.
" Who are they? " Tori demanded. It was like watching two tigers face off as Li and Tori glared at one another.
" These are my friends Li Showron and Eriol Hiiragizawa. " Sakura replied. " Has Julian told you what happened? "
" Hai and don't change the subject. " Tori replied coming to stand near the fire.
" What are you going to do about it? " Sakura asked ignoring his banter.
" Found not even for a couple of hours and you're already giving orders. Tch.. "
" Well? " she demanded well past playing games.
Tori studied her in the firelight. She had changed, and matured dramatically. There was a new look to her eyes and he shot Li a withering glance. It would have to be the gaki. The way his sister looked at him made it obvious he had irreversibly changed her. He'd kill him later. Li, wondering why he was receiving the death glare, sent one back.
" He will be trialed. But I'm going to talk to father first. If what I tell father angers him as it did me, then I don't think there will a trial, just a hanging. " Madison gasped, the firelight reflecting in her violet eyes. Sakura nodded. Then she looked at Li and Eriol.
" I would very much appreciate it if the two of you would accompany us back to the Kingdom of Kinomoto. I want my father to hear what I have to say and it would help my cause greatly if you were there to support me. I understand the difficulties you are facing right now and I wish that I could make it easier on you both, but I think you will agree with me when I say that there isn't anything that I can do at the present time but ask for your forgiveness for lying to you." She looked only at Li.
" I don't mind. " Eriol replied smiling. " It'll be another adventure after all. "
Li glared. " Forget it. " he snapped.
" What's the matter Li? " Sakura couldn't help but dig angrily at him. " Afraid that the princess might actually prove to you that she's not as spoilt as everyone seems to believe? That the same kind, caring person known by the name of Cora Kino is in fact Sakura Kinomoto? " He glared at her refusing to say a word.
" Forget it. " he snapped eventually. Sakura stared at him for a moment before she sighed.
" I didn't want to do this, not to you, but you leave me no choice. I won't take no for an answer Li. Not when I am determined to prove to you that your assumption of me is wrong. And I can't walk away and leave this like it is. I won't give up, not until I have your forgiveness and understanding. Therefore I am making it a royal request that you cannot refuse. I'm ordering you to accompany us back to the Kinomoto Valley. You can't refuse. If you do, it'll be classed as treason. "
The room went silent. Li stared back at her not believing it. They stared at each other for what seemed like hours before her eventually broke their gaze and flicked her a betrayed look.
" Fine, " he muttered staring her down. " But you have lost whatever respect I had for you, highness. " he spat the last word out like something vile in his mouth.
Sakura nodded satisfied. If she was going to get this done, then she couldn't think about how both of them were hurting. She wouldn't let it get to her until they were back at the castle and she was alone in her room. Then she would crumble and let her tears fall.
" Then we leave at dawn. " Tori stated and walked out. Sakura sighed and visibly relaxed.
" Sakura? " Madison asked gingerly. Pain filled eyes turned around and locked on Madison.
" Why couldn't you have just stayed at the castle? Why did you come after me? " the accusation was torn from deep inside her. Madison stared at her horrified. " Oh Madison I would have come back eventually. Surely you knew that I was ok? "
" I was worried! We had no idea what had happened. You left no note, no way for us to know. " Sakura rubbed her temples tiredly. She could hear the flames burring away in the fire place. She let that calm her before she spoke again.
" I missed you Madison. " she finally said. Madison held back tears as she hugged her best friend.
" I missed you too. " she pulled away. " You wait and see all the gowns I've made for you. " she laughed jokingly through her tears. Sakura growled her displeasure and Madison glared defensively wiping at her tears.
" No offense Madison. But - how can I say this? You're gowns are always a little childish. "
Madison put her hands on her hips. " Hello you baka! How could I make anything truly daring when I had your brother breathing down my neck? "
Sakura waved her hands. " Forget Tori. From this day forward he is not going to be domineering or overprotective unless I give him leave to. I've had enough of the over-protective treatment. Oh Madison so much is going to change when we return! "
A cough reminded them that they were not alone. They turned around and saw Li and Eriol watching them. Li bitterly. Eriol happily.
" Is there any room at this Kinomoto for a Kero? " Kero asked timidly flying over to Sakura's shoulder.
" Oh Kero! " Sakura cried and hugged the little creature. " They'll be heaps of room! And heaps of pudding! As much as you like! "
" Ye-heah! " Kero cried in delight.
The door opened again and Tori strode back in. He looked at the little creature strangely.
" I don't even want to know. " he said and then looked at Madison. " Do you have anything for Sakura to wear home? I don't think father will like what she's wearing. No offense monster but the twig and leaf style went out centuries ago. "
" Who are you calling a monster? " Sakura demanded. " And who cares what anyone thinks about me. A dress is a dress. It's the person that's inside it that counts. " Both Li and Tori studied her. This was a whole new side to her that neither had seen.
" You are a princess and have to behave like one " Tori said and walked out of the room.
" Guess that's self explanatory then isn't it? " Sakura spat at the door. She clenched her jaw and her fists. A lot was going to change when she got home. That was for sure.
Still fuming she walked out of the room with a quick goodnight to everyone and went upstairs to the room the inn keeper had given her.
Author's Notes
Oh my gosh a lot happened in this chapter didn't it? Sakura and Li's relationship finally hit its peak only to fizzle, sputter and then die a lonely, cold, miserable death. Overly dramatic I know but meh.
There was a lot of mature content in this chapter and I did warn you at the beginning so don't flame me if there was something in there that didn't agree with you. If you ignored the warning sign then that is not my problem. Harsh, but reality.
Please review and leave a message
