Chapter One-
Princess Sakura sighed as she stared at the mass of men, whether they be princes, dukes, kings or simply noblemen, literally falling over each other as they tried to impress her to win her hand in marriage. Many of them wanted the princess for her looks, others, the land she would bring with her. She sighed again. Being the most desired young lady in Mysteria, was not fun. Sakura unfolded her beautiful rose-coloured wings. Sitting like this for three hours straight was giving her wings a cramp. One nobleman, at the sight of her wings, rushed forward to seize her arm, but was cut short as a large golden lion with a strange headpiece on his head came forward and growled at him, sending little bursts of flame at him. The ardent suitor turned pale and rushed away, tripping over others in his haste to leave.
"You may all take your leave now." Came a deep voice. Sakura smiled. It was her best friend, Prince Eriol. At Eriol's voice, the room was cleared in seconds. "How are you my dear Sakura?" He asked.
"I'm fine Eriol. My wings just got a little cramped." Sakura's smile brightened as she stood, and fluttered down to the lion.
"Sakura! How many times do I have to tell you to never open your wings around them? And you shouldn't be using them if they're cramped." The lion scolded.
"Oh, but Kero, they were starting to hurt. Now stop. You're beginning to sound like Touya." Sakura said to Kero, her smile growing cheeky at the mention of her over-protective brother.
"Uh.. In no way am I like that over-protective brother of yours!" Kero said indignantly.
"So what are you going to do for the rest of the day, Sakura?" Eriol asked.
Sakura looked thoughtful. "Umm.. I think I'll go riding."
"Just be careful, alright?" Kero said, turning back into his false form. "I'm going to go find some pudding." And with that Kero flew off, heading towards the kitchens.
A/N: I know it's a short chapter, but I have about three other stories running through my head and so it's difficult to keep them apart.
