Girl Meets Prince
By Louann1
Prologue
He was the prince and the future leader of China but still only a 14 year old boy. He had scruffy chestnut hair that gave him an even more boyish look. The best thing about him was his amber eyes. They were the most incredible yet yearning amber eyes anyone had ever seen. He lived a luxurious lifestyle but somewhat excluded from a social life, since the only people he had acquaintance with was his family and servants. His life was repetitive, pretty much the same day after day. He was extremely bright and listened to others, as he was a very understanding person, though he rarely had time to practice his skills because he was so alone. He did everything that was set on his schedule to the precise second. The times he enjoyed most were those when he travelled. At those times he was free to do what ever he wanted but with some limitations. This made a change from all his usual 'do-whatever-we-say lifestyle'. He had four older sisters that didn't even know he existed, as they hardly paid attention to him. His mother was very strict, very busy and very precise, so she hardly spent time with her children. Basically, Prince Syaoran was alone.
Across the water, lived a girl who was a klutz that could brighten the dampest days with her smile. Her auburn hair complemented her emerald green eyes and her free spirit made her friends enchanted with her personality. She lived in a detached house in Tomoeda. She was a pretty normal 14 year old. She lived with her older brother and her father. Her brother occasionally teased her but they both loved her very much. Even with the happiness that she gave her friends and family and the happiness they gave her, she was still somehow uncontented. There was something she was missing, she felt as if there was a piece of a puzzle she was constantly trying to find that would make her life complete.
In Syaoran's Room, China...
" I can't take it anymore!" Syaoran threw books and other things from his table.
" Prince Li, please calm down," Wei his servant/butler person pleaded.
" Calm down(!) Calm down(!) Wei! I can't! I have no reason to! I'm stuck here, in this palace, I haven't met a damn person that doesn't do or listen to what I'm saying in all my life," Syaoran protested.
" Prince Li please do not use such language. Your mother would not like it if she heard you curse," Wei told him.
" She doesn't care, Wei," Syaoran looked at him sternly. " She doesn't spend anytime with me. Wei... you've had a childhood. You've made friends and mucked around. I haven't. I haven't had a childhood. I want a childhood. I'm stuck here with my every moved monitored and planned out for me... Just- ... just- just leave Wei."
Syaoran turned away from his sevant as Wei walked backwards to wards the door, bowed and left.
Syaoran stared out side his window. He looked far across the sea over to Japan. Everyday it stared back, waiting for him to visit. He couldn't exactly see it but he knew it was there. Something else was there too, that he had to find out. Syaoran decided once and for all that he was going to get there... someday.
A knock came at Syaoran's door.
" You may enter," Syaoran said coldly.
" My darling Syaoran, we must go to Japan to discuss changes in the trading industry with Japan. You are required to attend. We will leave tomorrow and will be staying there for a week. Make sure that your things are packed and that Wei has not forgotten anything," Syaoran's stict mother told him.
" Yes, Mother," Syaoran replied with his back still facing her.
" That is all," Yelan said and left him.
Syaoran's heart jumped for joy. He was finally going to the land his heart ached for. At that moment he didn't have a care in the world... But then he remembered his studies that he had thrown on the floor.
The Next Day, China...
Syaoran's alarm clock rung loudly. He dragged himself out of him bed and got ready for his training and hi journey. The sun hadn't risen yet and he was finding it very hard to find the light switch. Eventually he found it and began to pack clothes and necessary things for the trip. The usual knock came at the door. It was Wei,
" Are you ready, Prince Li?"
" Yes... Um.. Wei?" Syaoran began. " I was wondering if you would acept my greatest apologies about yesterday. I wasn't quite myself."
" Oh, erm... I acept your apology, Prince Li," Wei replied with much difficulty. It was quite unlike 'Prince Li' to apologise for his hot-heated temper. Silently they both left for Syaoran's martial arts training.
MUCH Later, Japan...
Loud thumps came from Sakura's bedroom door. It was her brother, Touya, trying to wake her up. She was sound asleep in her colorful bedroom. If she didn't wake up now she'd be later for school.
" SAKURA!!! Get up or you'll be LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!" Touya yelled.
" What?! I'm up!" Sakura yelped as she sprung up.
" Good! I'm leaving in 15 minutes. Hurry up!" His voice boomed loud through the muffling door. Sakura, too, dragged herself out of her bed. She got ready and went downstairs.
" Good morning, Dad," Sakura greeted. " Good morning Mom," Sakura looked at her mother's picture. " Good morning, Loud-Mouth," Sakura cheekily greeted her brother.
" Good morning," Sakura's father, Fujitaka, said as he gently laid down a plate of pancakes before her.
" 'Morning, squirt," Touya said as he stabbed at Sakura's pancakes and managed to stuff one in his mouth.
" Hoe! That's mine!" Sakura protested.
" Bad grammar, Sakura. The words that you're looking for are 'was mine'," Touya said matter-of-factly.
Sakura just scowled and ate her remaining pancakes.
Meanwhile, China...
Syaoran and Wei arrived in his bedroom.
" You must change and get your things ready for you studies, Prince Li," Wei told him.
Syaoran cringed,
" Must I Wei? I mean I'm already ahead in the national curriculum and it is only one hour until I depart to Japan. Couldn't it wait until I get back?"
" Well I erm... I guess so, Prince Li," Wei supposed.
" YES! I mean, you know it makes sense, Wei," Syaoran said dignified.
Back In Japan...
Sakura walked into her busy school and was greeted with many smiles.
" Sakura?" A girl with long dark hair and violet eyes approached her. It was Tomoyo, her best friend.
" Good morning," Sakura said.
" Are you OK?" Tomoyo asked conserned.
" Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry," Sakura said as she tried to smile.
She felt it again. The missing bit. She shook the feeling as the school bell rang throughout the school.
