Ritual disclaimer: I don't own TRC, the Clamp do, and that's good but I want more smut.

I read the series in English and in French, so the names might be a bit confusing.

At first, Mokona was to take Sakura's part, but I thought… no.

Prologue

Once upon a time lived King Sora and Queen Arashi in a faraway castle. They wanted a child quite badly and did everything they could (and we know what sacrifice this is to make) in order to procreate. Luckily, it eventually worked.

The newborn kid was named Shaolan and a big party was thrown to celebrate his birth. Looking at the royal to-do list, the King and his wife (well, mostly the King, as his wife used to stay mute and expressionless) saw that they had to invite three fairies to make the day perfect. So they invited three of them and checked the little done-box on the piece of royal paper.

When the day came, three nice fairies came to bless the child.

The first one was a pretty-blond haired yumeni called Hinoto, who was also blind and who could not walk. Sohi and Hien came by her side and she granted the child with a will strong enough to change destiny.

The second one was a gorgeous raven-haired witch called Yuuko, who drank a lot of sake before blessing the child. Maru and Moro came by her side and sang a lot when Yuuko gave the child an empty bottle of sake, granting him with "a personality a bit more serious than mine, and I want more sake!".

The third fairy did not came, as he had "another bless-the-child damn stuff to attend to, so I'm sorry for that or whatever, best wishes bla bla bla, and I'll give your child a hand if he's one day dumb enough to need it in compensation".

King Sora laughed a bit nervously at all that whereas a vein pulsed on Queen Arashi's temple (wish was her way to express infuriated anger).

Over the years, Shaolan grew up to be a very serious young prince, which would have been all right had he not had the dumb idea of always trying to help his beloved childhood friend, princess Sakura.

For princess Sakura was a quite dumb sweet thing herself. She was actually supposed to fall into eternal sleep after a failed knitting attempt, as she had been cursed by her rabid brother Toya, because she had forgotten to celebrate his last birthday. Yukito, Toya's lover and priest of the Clow castle, had attenuated the curse by linking it to a particular knitting set and by assuring that Sakura would not touch it. Well… at least Yukito intended to hide the cursed knitting set, but Toya had come up at this particular moment and had him do something that got the knitting curse completely out of his mind.

And the problem was, Sakura was dumb enough (even if she was a very sweet princess indeed) to fail at being cursed. Because, as she passed by her brother's bedroom a little while after, she saw the knitting set lying on the floor (suspiciously surrounded by a bunch of priest clothes) and, as she was quietly thinking of a way to remove it safely, her guardian angel (named Shaolan) rushed on the thing to protect her and fall asleep on the spot.

As she gasped in horror, the dishevelled head of Toya and Yukito emerged from under the sheets of the bed, just in time to learn the horrid news of Shaolan's passing.

*

Fortunately, Shaolan could be awaken by a true love's kiss. Toya strongly opposed to his sister kissing the lad until Queen Arashi, said lad's mother, opposed even more strongly to such opposition.

King Sora, Queen Arashi, Prince Toya and Yukito the priest thought that Sakura kissing Shaolan would be the main problem, as she was more able to blush than to kiss.

However, they found it even more of a problem when the sleeping body of Prince Shaolan merely disappeared in a pop of vanilla scenting smoke.

A slender young man stood in his place instead. His eyes where blue and his hair was blond, and he looked at them with a goofy smile.

"Well hello!" he said with a happy grin. "My name's Fay D. Flowright, and I'm glad to release you from the burden of a cursed body! I'm sure he'll be happier with me than in a royal coffin!... No needs for thanks, I'm on my way now!"

He disappeared with a strawberry scenting "pop".

"Well, that could be a problem" said Toya with a large, large smile.

*

After thinking it through, the royal band decided to call for help. So, as Yukito was bandaging Toya's head (Queen Arashi had figured that punchingballing it would be the thing to do), King Sora sent a message to one of Shaolan's fairies, the one who had not come but promised to help instead.

He (he was male) arrived quite late, carrying a blood-tainted sword on his shoulder and a terrifying grin on his dark features.

"Tche", he said when he saw the royal group shaking like royal leaves. "So the boy was dumb enough to have me wasting time, ne?"

Princess Sakura, who was just as sweet as she was dumb, jumped at his neck: "Please mister fairy, sir! Help me save dear Shaolan!..."

The odd fairy removed her as if she had been some sort of embarrassing bug. "Be quiet there, girl. Now what's the deal?"

He seemed quite unhappy to have to keep his word.

"We've make a bit of research while waiting for you", said Yukito. ("Which means quite a lot", grunted Toya). "It seems like Prince Shaolan was kidnapped by a sorcerer named Fay, who lives in the Flowright Shire. And I've heard that his castle is protected by a powerful monster called… called… err, Mokona. I'm not sure what species it belongs to…"

"Mokona, eh?" said the fairyman with a scary grin. "That seems interesting enough…"

So the next morning, Princess Sakura left her castle on a tall white horse, along with the weird fairyman and a basket full of food.
