Untold Secrets

Syaoran's POV

I knocked firmly on her door one last time. She was not responding. Rika had come to me and told me Sakura refused to open her door. It made me uneasy to think what she was doing inside alone. She did not answer my knock. I took out a key from my robes and unlocked the door. When I rushed inside Sakura was half naked standing in front of her mirror. She was staring outside through her window at the beautiful sunny day that contrasted her dark mood.

Her head slowly turned to me and her body followed. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. A smile was upon her delicate trembling lips. I no longer knew what to think. In my mind she was in a book, a tragic book that held a beautiful young woman captive in its pages. The ink described the pain and the suffering she was going through. The smile was an illusion, the ink would say, and illusion to the true agony hidden in the deeps of her heart. But I didn't know what was causing this. It only made things worse. If only I knew I would be able to help her or maybe even save her. But she refused to tell me and I said I was willing to wait. But somehow waiting is leading to more tragedy as the ink continues to write on, not caring who is reading just to make the woman suffer.

I went to Sakura. Her smile never changed but neither did her tears stop. They rolled down her pale white cheeks and dripped to the floor from her chin. They made a small puddle where they landed. I closed the door behind me not wanting anyone to witness this breakdown. I came closer to her and lifted my hand to touch her head. She flinched a little, before I would have thought nothing of the gesture but now the movement seemed so natural that it worried me. Did she really believe I was going to strike her? But that didn't matter. My hand ran through her silky brown hair then went to her wet cheeks.

"You're crying again. I know this must be hard but at least get some rest. Tomorrow we will be with Tomoyo and Eriol." I said trying my best to clam her.

"Alright." She replied but her head shook as if trying to tell me no. "Alright I'll sleep, I'll sleep."Her voice faded with each word. She took on step backwards and her body collapsed on the floor.

I didn't register what happened. When I blinked and looked again I saw clearly that Sakura fell and did not get up. She had fainted. Her body was strewn on the floor. Her hands trying in vain to protect her stomach. Her face was pale and her cheeks covered in tears were a deep color of red. It seemed her breathing was shallow and I could see her breathing out little puffs of hot air. I picked her and was startled at her temperature. I placed her on the bed.

"I was scared this would happen to you." I whispered whipping away the sweat that had formed on her forehead faster than I could blink. "What are you hiding from me, Sakura?" The sun was setting and I could hear no maids passing the halls going about their duties. This meant that my mother had summoned all of them. I sighed. "I'll have to change you myself."

All she had on were her undergarments. Her top was small white and short with frills as the bottom and short sleeves. Her shorts barely covered her thighs but it was also white with frills. I went to one of her drawers and searched for new undergarments. The ones she had on where soaked in sweat. I was able to find another white pair.

I went back to the bed and stared down at her half naked body. I hesitated. My palms were sweaty and my heart sped up. I set the garments aside and gazed at her face. She looked to helpless. My hands caressed her red cheeks. My fingers rubbed her small plump lips. They were open and the breath that came from them was hot. I could clearly remember the first time I was able to taste them. At that time I was still trying to sort out my feelings and it was mere flirting but know I was sure I wanted to taste more of her. But it would be wrong to take advantage of her now. I would have to wait for a little while.

I took a deep breath. I would have to take off her undergarments. If I did that I would see her naked. Seeing her like that was somehow not right. She was going through a lot and me seeing her nude would only add to her problems but I really had no choice. I couldn't let her stay filthy. First I went to take of her top and at that moment she tensed.

"Please...don't...father please..." She whimpered but she wouldn't move.

Her father? What did he have to do with this? But I just shrugged the thought and proceed to lifting her top. I did my best not to look at her breast. I placed the top by the door and went back to her. I took the clean top and was going to put it on when something caught my attention. There was blood on her right hip.

"What the hell?" I whispered to myself.

I let my hand wander down to the blood. It was dry. I moved to her arms to see that they were covered in bruises. Her breast were discolored from different hues of purple and blue. Then I saw the wound that the doctor had attended. It was infected. I stared back down at her belly. A nasty bruise was turning pitch black and blood was seeping out of various spots. The bruise looked like it was spreading and without it an infection. I went to call the doctor. Chiahru came into the room and when she saw Sakura her eyes widened in horror.

"Prince Li what happened?" She gasped coming over to a topless Sakura. I looked away. I had violated her body enough.

"I wish I knew." I said while only watching Chiahru as she stroked Sakura's forehead gently. She took her hand away in surprise.

"She's burning up! Oh, poor girl she must be in so much pain right now." She said checking the rest of her body.

Pain. Never would I have thought Sakura would have been in any kind of physical pain. I couldn't understand who would hurt someone as sweet and innocent as her like this. But someone did and so help me the villagers will find that person dead.

Chiharu was silent for a few minutes. My best guess was that she was absorbing the shock of Sakura's situation. She didn't move either. I only watched her. The only reason I was able to find her is because I sneaked her out of my mothers meeting with the servants. I was relieved that she was willing to come. But now she was silent and I couldn't bare it another minute. Just then she turned to me her bright and cheerful eyes now sharp but dill and sad.

"I can not have you here while I am treating these wounds. The queen has been anxious to speak with you. The meeting is almost over so now would be a perfect time to do so," She said her words clipped and calculated. I nodded. I took one last glance at Sakura's feverish face then left the room.

While I slowly made my way to my mothers sleeping quarters my thoughts were scattered. My mind would not let go of Sakura's condition. Her body beaten and scared made my blood boil with anger and regret. I regretted that I couldn't help her when she really had needed me. The past eleven months rushed through my mind. All those times we played and talked to each other. Each and every time I always saw that sad and tormented smile but never knew what the cause of it was. Things started to connect in my head. The dark secret she refused to tell, her strange behavior to screaming voices, and her fear of others raising their hands as if ready to strike her. I was getting mad at myself. The signs were all there, how could I have been so slow to actually see them? Even those tiny cuts and bruises she gained everyday she came to interact with us. Why didn't I see it before? But now I knew the truth and the truth would drive me to kill that bastard. My precious Sakura was being abused by her father Fujitaka. I swore the next time I saw him he wouldn't be able to see the light of the next day. I was going to kill him.

Yelen's Sleeping Quarters

I knocked on my mothers door. But no one answered. I went ahead and opened the door. I sat on her window sill and waited for her. My thoughts were still on Sakura and her father. I still couldn't understand how I could have been so blind for so long.

But I wasn't able to stay with my thoughts for long. My mother entered her room after only minutes of my entrance. She took off her crown and placed it on her desk. She faced me with a warm smile. But I didn't look at her. Her voice beckoned me to look at her and I did. It was not easy to defy my mother. She stood in the middle of the room watching me with her light amber eyes. Her smile remained but I couldn't return the gesture. I was too angry at myself about discovering a horrid secret after eleven long months.

"My son, how wonderful it is to see you." She said as if we hadn't seen each other in months. But it was true we don't see a lot of each other because of my studies and her duties. They always conflicted but I was used to it. She stared at me for a little while. "What troubles you?" She asked in concern but I only scowled.

"Nothing mother," Lying to my mother was a lost cause but I was not in any kind of mood to explain to her Sakura's situation. I was still trying to deal and believe it myself.

"Very well then," She said not pressing me for answers. She sat on her bed but I remained on the windowsill. "My son I have been meaning to speak with you about that child." She said her voice soft and passive.

"What child, mother?"

"Kinomoto Sakura. I believe you know her well. She is the daughter of Kinomoto Nadeshiko and Kinomoto Fujitaka." She said giving me a knowing look.

My fists clenched and my nails dug into my skin. I was just itching to grab my sword and go to that pig. Then something more came to my mind. Sakura's breasts. They were discolored with purple and blue bruises and when I lifted up her undergarment top the way she tensed and what she said about her father. I realized that she had almost or had been rapped a few days or maybe the day before she came to the castle.

I let out an angry cry and struck the window shattering the glass with my angry fists. I will be damned if I don't kill this man. I wouldn't let him get away with this not by a longshot.
