"Mommy? Can you tell us the story about the pretty girl again?" Miku asked.

Her Mother laughed, "Are you sure you want to hear that one? I'm sure you and Mikuo have heard it countless times!"

"I know," Mikuo complained, "Why does she get to pick the story anyway? I thought it was my turn. Besides, I wanted to hear a new story today about a knight! You are amazing at making up stories Mom."

Miku glared at Mikuo, " Because," she said angrily, "Rin and Len haven't heard it yet."

Miku was referring to her brother and sister that had been born a few days before.

Their mother laughed again, " I'll retell the story, Mikuo, you get to pick for the next 2 days after this, ok?"

Mikuo pouted, "Fine."

"Okay, " their mother smiled, "Where do I start…."

"Many years ago there was a beautiful duchess, who had an equally beautiful daughter. She had high expectations for her daughter; after all, her daughter was to be raised with the best. Years passed, and the daughter turned 16, she had now become so beautiful that she had plenty of suitors to choose from, even the prince wanted to marry her.

"Sayuri, please, I'll take good care of you. I am the Prince! Jewels, fur, anything you want! I can get it for you." The prince would plead.

"What do you like about me?" Sayuri would ask, "Will you just throw me away like your father did to his many wives after they lost their beauty?"

"No." The prince would reply, "In my heart there is only room for one person, and that person is you. I will stay with you until the day I perish, if only you would let me be the one."

That answer was never enough for Sayuri, for she had a little seed of doubt that was growing inside of her. She didn't trust him. It was hard to imagine that the crown prince of Lugeria would choose her out of the hundreds of princesses that drooled over him. It just never made sense to her. The fact that the prince was almost always surrounded by girls made it harder to believe that he only cared about her. After all, Sayuri barely qualified for a duchess, let alone a princess.


Sayuri had long teal hair that was never tied up, she also never cut it, and so it reached her knees. She never wanted to wear dresses and keep quiet like the other girls; her mind was always full of questions. The world was a fascinating place for her; there were millions of things to be discovered.

Being 'smart' wasn't exactly good if you wanted to be high-class those days. A smart woman always ran her mouth and never kept quiet when she was supposed to. Her mother had always worried that she would not get any suitors at all!


One day, Sayuri had been climbing a tree when she saw this boy. He had yellow hair and seemed very dirty.

'How do people get that dirty?' Sayuri wondered.

She decided to follow him and found herself in the stables. She cocked her head to one side as she saw him walk into one of the stalls where she had assumed one of her horses was kept.

'What's he doing?'

Sayuri continued watching him, her eyes bright with interest.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

He jumped up, startled, before bowing, "Milady, I had no idea you were here, my sincerest apologies. "

Sayuri tapped her foot impatiently, "I don't care about that, what are you doing?"

"Mucking the stables." He replied.

Seeing as she didn't understand what that was, he explained, " I'm cleaning them out."

Sayuri nodded, 'That would explain why he got so dirty.' She thought.

She smiled at him before turning around and walking back onto the path that would lead her home.


6 Months Later…..

"Are you sure about this Sayuri?" Tamaki furiously whispered, "Eloping with the stable boy? Your wedding isn't that far off from now!"

Sayuri nuzzled his neck and smiled, "Your rank never mattered to me, besides," she rubbed her stomach, "this is for our child."

"What about money?" Tamaki asked.

Sayuri held up a large sack of coins, "Enough to get us through the next 10 years, even if we're not saving. I also have a purse full of jewelry."

"Won't the prince be mad if he finds out you're missing?"

Sayuri glared at him, "It's almost as if you don't want me to have this child."

Tamaki shook his head, " I just don't want you to regret it later, you won't have the same life of luxury that you're so used to."

"Does it matter? I still have you, and the child. Kunarin will be a fresh start. Now shush!"

Together, they crossed the border into a new land, a fresh start.

Their fresh start would include many miscarriages, lost friends, and poverty.

The prince sighed, his many years of fooling around would cost him his marriage with Sayuri. Apparently one of his Mistresses had given birth to a healthy baby boy named Kaito, an illegitimate child. So from his balcony, he stared at the cherry blossoms. Many years later he would decree a song that was meant for his love that had disappeared; many assumed that she had been kidnapped.


THE SONG(I'll put the scene when the song matches up to what happened.)

(PRINCE TO A SAYURI'S DISAPPEARANCE)

When the cherryblossom colors flutter, I'm alone

Standing exhausted, I can't cut off these feelings bottled up inside

(Sakurairo maukoro, watashi wa hitori

Osae kirenu mune ni tachi tsuku shiteta)

(SAYURI TO TAMAKI)

When the color of new leaves shake, feelings overflow

I lost sight of everything and drifted towards you

(Wakabairo moyureba omoi afurete

Subete wo miushinai anata he nagareta)

(SAYURI LEAVING LUGERIA)

The trees around us told us in silence

That we would both see:

People don't have to be limited to one place

(Meguru kigi tachi dakega

Futari wo miteita no

Hito dokoro ni wa todomare nai to

Sotto oshie nagara)

(SAYURI NOT IN LOVE WITH THE PRINCE)

When the withering leaves change color, I am next to you

And as the passing days fade, our love changes

(Karehairo someteku anata no tonari

Utsurui yuku hibi ga ai he to kawaru no)

(PRINCE REMEMBERING SAYURI BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE)

But please, let these trees

Protect these feelings

Silently rustling your leaves above us,

Just one more time.

(Douka kigi tachi dake wa

Kono omoi wo mamotte

Mou ichido dake futari no uede

Sotto ha wo yurashite)

(PRINCE IMAGINING WHAT WOULD THEIR WEDDING SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE)

Before long, the seasons will pass

And we will be taken somewhere else

But right now, there's only one thing I know

Embrace me, silently

(Yagate toki wa futari wo

Doko he yakonde yuku no

Tada hitotsu dake tashikana ima wo

Sotto dakishimeteita)

(SAYURI LEAVING/PRINCE REMARRYING)

Covered by the snow, the feelings get lost

The footprints vanish, sounds disappear in vain

(Yuki keshou madoe wa omoi hagurete

Ashiato mo keshiteku otonaki itazura)

(PRINCE REMEMBERING SAYURI YEARS LATER)

But please, let these trees

Protect these feelings

So that, frozen in eternity

We may live on here

(Douka kigi tachi dake wa

Kono omoi wo mamotte

"Eien" no naka futari todomete

Koko ni iki tsudukete)

(SAYURI REMEMBERING THE PRINCE)

The trees around us told us in silence

That we would both see:

People don't have to be limited to one place

(Meguru kigi tachi dakega

Futari wo miteita no

Hito dokoro ni wa todomare nai to

Sotto oshie nagara)

(PRINCE)

When the cherryblossom colors flutter, I'm alone

Savoring my thoughts of you

(Sakurairo maukoro, watashi wa hitori

Anata he no omoi wo kamishimeta mama)
