8 Feathers
Chapter 1
"Release!!! Windy!!" Sakura Kinomoto, was practicing fighting moves and magical spells for her next mission with her best friend, Tomoyo Daijoudi, in the Battle Arena. Her new mission was to collect all of the 8 feathers that were scattered by the malevolent Shadow Clan in the Land of Shadows. Each feather represents, fire, water, ice, earth, darkness, wind, light, and the last feather remains a secret. In their mission, 2 other people will join them, from the Li Kingdom, to help get the feathers back.
Both Sakura and Tomoyo are real good fighters and excellent in magic. Whenever they need to go somewhere fast, they summon their dragons, Kotori and Jade. Kotori belongs to Sakura and is the color blue. Jade belongs to Tomoyo and is the color green.
Sakura's maid, Rika, came to the Battle Arena with a message from King Fujitaka and Queen Nadeshiko.
"Princess, your mother and father would like to see you right now," Rika said.
"Hai, thank you Rika," Sakura replied. Sakura and Tomoyo went to the huge golden door with King Fujitaka and Queen Nadeshiko behind it.
"Yes, Mother and Father?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura dear, it's almost time for you to get married with another prince, and we want to wish you a safe and happy trip to other worlds in your mission," Queen Nadeshiko said.
"What? We have to go to other worlds?" both Sakura and Tomoyo questioned.
"Hai, you two and the other two from the Li Kingdom will have to go to different worlds to find the missing feathers, and still you must think of who you want to be married to," King Fujitaka responded.
"But how will we all travel to different worlds?" Sakura asked.
"Ah, that's the tricky part. First, the Queen of the Li Kingdom, Queen Yelan, will give you a pet that can send you to different worlds," King Fujitaka said.
"Wow," Tomoyo softly whispered.
"Thank you mother and father. I will still think about who I would like to marry." Sakura replied.
"Now go on and pack up, for you will travel to the Li Kingdom to meet your other 2 travelers and also to receive to the pet," Queen Nadeshiko said.
"Hai," both Sakura and Tomoyo said together. They both left for their rooms to pack.
Meanwhile in the Li Kingdom
"God of Thunder, STRIKE!!!!!" Syaoran Li shouted at his opponent, Eriol Hiiragizawa.
"You can't beat me that easily you know," Eriol chuckled.
"Go! Shield!" Eriol said countering the attack and sending it elsewhere.
Just then Syaoran's cousin, Meiling, came in saying, " Syaoran! Eriol! Queen Yelan is waiting for you."
"Aw, and we were getting to the good part," Syaoran complained.
"Tell her we will be right there in a minute," Eriol replied.
"What is it now?" Syaoran asked his mother.
"Is that the way to speak with your mother? Well anyways, you must marry soon to take the throne of the Li Kingdom and two people from the Kinomoto Kingdom will be here tomorrow for the mission to retrieve all of the scattered feathers in different worlds. Oh yeah, you two will be traveling with them too," Queen Yelan replied.
"Cool!! We'll be going on a mission, but I wonder who the other two are…" Syaoran whispered silently. Eriol didn't bother to ask who they will be traveling with for he already knew.
"Now, you two go and pack, but don't pack a lot of stuff." Queen Yelan said.
"Hai!" both Syaoran and Eriol said in unison.
Sakura's POV
"NANAIII!!! I can't choose what to bring and wear for tomorrow!!!! Huh? Hey! This is a nice dress to wear for tomorrow. It is a cute purple dress with little white designs. Yay!! Now all I need is to pack some food and weapons for the trip to the Li Kingdom. Okay, I'm dome packing so now I will think about who I would like to marry…… Well, I will check out the prince of the Li Kingdom first since Tomoyo and I are going there tomorrow. Yawn…. I'm going to sleep now…"
Tomoyo's POV
" Ah, I can't wait for tomorrow….. I packed all the things I need for the trip but I still think I'm forgetting something very important…. Oh!! I forgot to pack my fan!! Ho-ho-ho, silly me. I think I'll sleep now…"
Syaoran POV
" I still want to know who the other two are, but I'm sure they are going to be boys because this mission is too dangerous for little girls…. Eriol seems to know who they are, but I don't really know….. Eriol is really lucky!!! Wow, I'm tired. Maybe I'll sleep now……"
Eriol POV
" Syaoran sure is excited about going to different worlds…. Sakura and Tomoyo are the people we will be traveling with on our adventure…. It took a lot out of me to figure out who we'll be traveling with….. A good night rest will be perfect for tomorrow…."
Meanwhile, Queen Nadeshiko, King Fujitaka, and Queen Yelan were having a conversation in their secret hideout.
"Do you think we should tell them that they are betrothed to each other right now?" Queen Yelan eagerly asked.
" I don't think so because if we tell them right now, they might not want to work with each other. So I think it's best not to tell them yet," King Fujitaka explained.
"That's true. And besides if they fall in love with each other during the mission, they will be happy to know that they are engaged to each other when they get back home!" Queen Nadeshiko squealed with delight.
"So it's settled, we will tell them after the mission, and we must keep very quiet about this or they will be suspicious," King Fujitaka announced.
"Hai!" Queen Nadeshiko and Yelan said.
"Now we must part. Don't forget to send us a message if you want to talk about anything else!" Queen Nadeshiko happily said.
" Bye, see you all soon!" They all said and walked away…
Somewhere in The Land of Shadows
"Sakura... I will get my revenge..."
