The Mission

At Hong Kong

"Syaoran-sama, Yelan-sama requests for your appearance at the throne room." Said Wei, the butler of the Li Clan. "Thank you Wei. Please tell mother that I would see her shortly." Replied a handsome, sturdy figure. The butler walks out and he sighs. Syaoran Li, only son of the Li Clan and soon to be the king of the Clan. Cold amber eyes with matching caramel-brown windblown hair. Big sigh…I guess training as king isn't easy as I thought. Oh well, better not keep mother waiting.

Walking downstairs into the polished gold room full of furnished chairs and tables, he saw the queen sitting at the head. "Good morning my son, as you have heard, I've have some busy to talk with you." Said Yelan. The 30 year-old queen with amber eyes as her son's and rich charcoaled colored hair. Surrounding her were her four daughters. Shefai, Farren, Fuutie, and Fuimei (sp???). "Yes mother, I have heard. What is it that is so important?" "As you might have known for a while, all the men that we have sent to the north are all dead. If this keeps happening, then our race would drop rapidly. So I would like to send you to stop this situation. It seems that there is some sort of race living there and doesn't want us in." Yelan explained. "Yes mother. I accept this mission and will carry out successfully." Syaoran said without emotions.

Back to the Ice World

"Out-san, the town is requesting for more protection. The trespassers have taken most of their supplies. Even as kaijou (receives a kick from Sakura) here is trying to execute them, they would come back at all cost." Said Touya. ^ Half of the town comes to the front of the palace with scrolls of request. "Hey! What are you going to do about this King Fujitaka? Are you just going to watch us being robbed by these thieves?" said one of the protesters. The king orders the guards to block the people from entering the palace.^ "I understand Touya. But it is impossible to keep them from coming. Even if we ask Sakura to build an invisible shield, then everyone can't go out nor come in." reasoned Fujitaka. Sakura was nibbling on her small breakfast and then drank some juice. Funny, why doesn't father think that I can use my powers to make a shield that can let my people enter and exit? I do have the power to do as I will to. "Sakura? Are you okay dear?" asked a concerned king. "Huh? Oh yes Out-san. I was just thinking." Came the replied.

Downtown of Ice World

As a snowy unicorn arrives at the foot of the village, all the people makes way for the animal to cross. Sakura in a icy chiffon dress with a matching barrette, made by her cousin, Tomoyo. And she remembered the conversation that they had earlier in the morning. ^ "You know Sakura, I think that you should start to think about whom you choose to be your spouse. You are almost 18 and Aunt-Nadeshiko married to Uncle-Fujitaka when she was 16." Said Tomoyo. "Sighs…Tomoyo, don't you think that you should be looking for one yourself? You and I are the same age, but you insist that I should marry before you. Why?" Sakura questioned in an eager voice. "Just think about it. Plus, I already know whom I like to be betrothed to. You know that Hiiragizawa magician down the street of the market? With the deep-sea blue eyes and navy blue hair? I know that I like him, but I'm only afraid of being rejected. But you are different. You aren't even looking FOR one!" Tomoyo reasoned. ^

Tomoyo, you just don't understand how I feel. I'm also afraid of being reject and hurt deep within my heart. This thing called `love' would only break my heart because nothing last forever. Sakura felt a wet tear slide down her chin. Flicking it away as if it was nothing, she stopped at a mini-mansion (A/N: Only one big palace and nothing bigger!) and knocked. A tall and supple figure came out and bowed. "I give you my respect, princess Sakura. What may I ask brings you here?" said the other half of Clow Reed. "I have business to discuss with you, Eriol."
