Summary: Ying Fa is the most notorious jewel thief in the world. Not once has she been caught, but something happens that will bring her secret crashing down around her, her father, Emperor Fugitaka Kinamoto, arranges a marriage between her and her latest victim, Prince Xioalang of China. While the prince is hot on the trail of Ying Fa, he's also trying to get ready for his wedding day with the lovely princess, Sakura Kinamoto. Little does he know, his worst enemy and the one person he loves, are the same.
"Ying Fa," whispered a man around 20 in the shadows on a rooftop, "I know you're here." You could hear the hatred dripping off his voice that is if you could hear him.
He was waiting, waiting for any sign of movement. But what or who could he be waiting for to make that slight movement? Ying Fa. The thief. How did she do it? How could she do it. No one, NO ONE had attempted to steal form him and gotten away with it. She hadn't stolen just anything, oh no, she stole the necklace he planned on giving to whomever his mother forced him to marry. It was tradition, the bracelet was always given the wife. ALWAYS, and now, well this lowlife stole it. He had a hunch about how she did it, a small little voice in the back of his head, nagging at him to investigate.
'THERE!' his mind screamed 'HAHA I've got you now little girl!' or so he thought. In an instant the small form was gone, had disappeared into the murky darkness.
Suddenly there were two bright balls of emerald, two bright burning eyes of green directly in front on his face.
"Konichiwa prince Xiao Lang. How is your night going for you?" "YOU!" he roared as he reached out to grab her but she leapt cat-like over him using his head to vault off of and landed behind him. He blundered after her, but alas, she had vanished again. "DAMNIT!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Around 5:30am Xiao Lang crawled in to his bed, but after tossing and turning for about an hour he gave up on even possibly falling to sleep and went down to breakfast. Of the 3 stakeouts he had done this had been the best one and the worst one. The best because she had shown up, the worst because she had gotten away.
"Who has to die for you to get some sleep Xiao Lang?" said a powerful female voice.
"No one mother, no one has to die," he paused "just be caught" he added under his breath. He only hoped she hadn't heard that last part. She did.
"Still worrying about that thief? If she has not been caught yet she will be, but it is NOT your job to do it. Stop letting it control your life, it is not worth it."
"Mother you don't understand, its not about the bracelet, its about how she did it, I can't help but think she has some kind of magi-" she cut him off sharply, "Xiao Lang how would a thief have magic?"
"I don't know but there is no other explanation for her breaking into my room while I slept and stealing form me. I WOULD HAVE WOKEN UP YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD HAVE DONE IT WAS BY MAGIC!" he snapped
"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME BOY NOW AWAY FORM MY SIGHT! GO!" Xiao Lang scampered out of the room like a little wolf pup.

"Out late again kiiju? Where do you go?" asked a man to a beautiful girl with bright green eyes. (o-m-g who could it be?!?!? sarcasm)
"Out, onii-chan, just out" the girl replied carelessly with a flick of her hand, "Why do you care anyhow?"
"Just wondering. Hopefully its somewhere no one can see you because they might all RUN FOR THE KIIJU!! HAHAHA- OWW!" she had stomped on his foot with more strength than you would think would come from such a petite young girl. After stomping once again she went out of the room, yelling "SAKURA IS NOT A KIIJU!"
'Hoe I wonder why I had to get up so early this morning? Why does Otto-san and to see me at this time of day? He knows I like to sleep in. maybe he wants to show me off to some 50 year old king of a little island so he can have better ties with them again! I figured he would stop trying that after the last time. Oh well. Time to go find out.' (who knew Sakura could think for such a long time and not run into something) While Sakura pondered she had knocked into 3 different servants on her way to the throne room and slammed into the door when she got there (never mind @.@; ) 'I really have to stop bumping into people, I thought royalty was supposed to have grace.'
"Well Sakura glad you could FINALLY arrive. Please child have a seat." Sakura turn to the man who had told her what to do. He did not look like anyone who should be talking to her in that tone, just who did he think he was? Clearly she would have to put him in his place.
"I beg your pardon. How dare you speak to me as such, and when you are here in my home you will address me by my title, such disrespect is intolerable." She stated in her most princessy voice, hopefully the creep got the hint.
"Sakura." Her father scolded "this is one of the most respected elders of the Li clan from china. Hold your tongue and think before you speak."
"Hai otto-san." She said quietly. It wasn't often her father rose his voice to her.
"Now as I was saying, please, PRINCESS, take a seat." He emphasized the word princess, as to mock Sakura, "as you probably don't know, I am here to inspect you and see if you are fit-" she cut in rudely "Fit to do what?"
"Fit to marry our prince and be a future ruler of our kingdom."
"HOOOEEE!! OTTO-SAN WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT!?!? MARRY THAT GAKI?!?! NO!" she cried.
"Now surely I'm not that bad?" (Ok ok I know I know he's supposed to be in China he's not. It's actually a month after the first chapter so he had plenty of time to get to Japan. BAH MAH STORY!) Sakura whirled around to come face to face with the very handsome (hubba hubba) Prince Xiao Lang Li of China. Normally she would be a bit more inviting except she had on the very thing that has been driving him wild, the bracelet. 'oh dear' she thought 'please don't let him notice me taking off the bracelet please please please.' He didn't. She slipped it into her small handbag and plastered a huge FAKE smile on her face and greeted him.
"Konichiwa Prince Xiao Lang! How is your morning going for you?"
