Hello people! I just wanted to say, this is my first Fic. At least in Soo...I hope you enjoy it! It might start a bit slow...just try reading the whole chapter before abandoning! The first chapter is probably very bad...it's my first fan-fiction, after all! But please cope with me, I just need to get steady, starting is just so hard!

Disclaimer: CCS is not mine, so don't sue me. But the plot is hehe. NO STEALY!

REMEMBER THIS: THIS STORY IS SET IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.

M-E-D-I-E-V-A-L T-I-M-E-S. GOT IT? OOOOOOOOON with the story!

The wrapped bundle

Childhood Memories, Princess' dream -

"Father! Father!" the little girl tugged her father's clothes. He looked down at her as she put her best stubborn-face.

"Yes, Sakura?" he smiled benevolently

"Everyone is invading my tree! Everyone! Can't you make it a law that no one enters my tree?"

Her father smiled, and looked out at the castle's window. It was a beautiful cherry blossom tree, and a small castle-house on top. He grinned once again, asking himself who she meant by "everyone". But he also knew how much his daughter loved the tree.

"No need for laws...I'll make sure no one enters your tree!"

"In the whole of Japan?" she looked up at him, amazed

"In the whole of Japan." He grinned even more, but his daughter didn't notice this. "Now go out and play."

The little girl thanked him and left.

Not a little girl any more, Princess Sakura, now 14 going on 15, stirred in her bed. As a morning twilight beam shone on her eyes, she sat lazily on her bed, finally opening her forest-like eyes she was so proud of. She untied her hair, now falling up to her waist, letting it flow with the hasty and frozen winter-like breeze.

She got dressed quickly, putting her warmest cloak and went out to see her tree, walking on top of the white sheets of snow on the garden. She also covered her silky hair in a hat. She had dreamed of her tree, after all. She had to say good morning.

(A/N: remember she put her hair in a hat! Have you seen the sort of hat the Yuki girl was wearing on the silent card episode? Like that!)

"Good morning, tree!" she sang happily as she climbed the stairs that lead her to her castle-home on the treetop. It was forbidden that anyone but her went up there. It was her castle-home.

She entered and looked around happily, the furniture, the flowers (they were still alive in winter? Ah, they were cherry blossoms!). It was nice-pies; it was cherry-merry, happy-nappy (she giggled at this thought XP) and jolly-holly. Until she saw the bundle.

"Hoeeee..." she said quietly

It was a bundle, which had never been there before. It was a...ball sort of thing, curled up. She went nearer and nearer until she took off the blanket covering it.

"A boy!" she cried in disgust "Boy! It is forbidden that anyone enters Princess Sakura's tree!"

Why hadn't he bowed, anyway? Or apologized?

"Boy!" it was then when she noticed something was seriously wrong. He was so pale. She touched him uneasily. He seemed asleep, almost. Frozen.

"Oh my gosh!" she breathed, and wrapped him around her cloak, thanking she had brought her warmest one with her. She hugged him, bringing him warmth, but it didn't seem enough. Sakura had lost all her shyness and hugged harder; she sensed he could die, if he wasn't dead already. She shivered.

She breathed for a second. Then she exhaled very slowly, on top of his face. She repeated this several times...more than several times. Almost an hour. Without the cloak, she was becoming numb herself. She curled around the boy, whoever he was, and slept.

She woke up when the stirring of someone else...when she realized where she was and remembered what had been going on. She kept on exhaling on the boys face.

"EEEWWW!" He was alive! She had saved him!

"I just saved your life!" she said and then coughed "You are in private property! This is my tree! Everyone in Japan-"she was cut off

"Um, I'm so sorry. I don't come from Japan. "she did noticed his strange accent. "Is this your...cloak?" He then seemed to realize where he was.

"Who are you?" she said quietly

"I...uh, I'm not sure."

"What?" it was between a sarcastic comment and a surprised one

"I lost my memory."

Sakura looked at him in awe. So far, she hadn't really paid much attention at him ...not in detail. He was about his age, young and handsome, even. His hair was chocolate-brown and messy and he had beautiful brownish amber eyes, the kind you get lost in to never come back...

"I'm so sorry." Sakura said apologetically, as she took the hat off her hair.

(A/N: remember the way the Yuki girl took her hat off revealing her long hair during the Silent Card episode? Imagine that exactly the same!)

It was the boy's turn now to be surprised and stunned by her beauty. He hadn't looked at her either...yes, she was his age too, and pretty actually. But her hair...it brought her back Autumn memories, with beautiful leaves spinning around, all around...

"But...you're a girl!" he said quickly to hide his stare.

Sakura giggled,

"You thought I was a boy?" the guy blushed "Well, I'm Princess Sakura...and you are? I mean, if you remember!"

"Syaoran Li," he muttered through gritted teeth

"Sorry? I didn't really hear that...Sholan what?"

"Oh...uh, Sholan's my name."

"Great, Sholan. See, this is my private castle-home on this Cherry treetop. But since you seem to be lost..."

"I remember a lot of...uh, snow. Yeah, snow. And... screams. There was a blizzard too. People were screaming. Lots of screaming... You are a princess, you say?"

She nodded quietly.

"Look, you say you come from somewhere that's not Japan, am I right?" he nodded "So you'll have to stay here, I can't go out. For a while. Can you keep a secret?" she smiled

He looked at her in surprise,

"Uh, sure."

"Then keep yourself secret!" she giggled, and made it for the stairs that would lead her back to the ground.

"Whe...where are you going?"

"I'll be back, I promise...stay here, ok?"

He nodded, but she was already stepping joyfully on the snow.

EEP! First chapter! OMG...OMG! Well, lots of things will be told on the next chapter. Why is Syaoran there? And who is he really? Lots of things for you...stay tuned!

Please, since this is my first fic, I'm open for critics, ideas...although I've got a few of my own, any ideas are welcome. Please read and review! If you took the time to read, why not spend another minute of your life and make a small comment?

SOOOOOOOOO...thanks for reading!
