I know I haven't exactly finished my other fic, Not Yet, yet, but I just had to get this one started! Lol…in fact, Not Yet is far from being finished! So hope you guys like this one—brainstormed it during ping pong with my grandpa…weird, eh? XD

Disclaimer: At least I own my Sakura DVDs and movie 2…)

Summary: She was the Princess of Ice—he the Prince of Fire. They weren't supposed to love each other, but yet, somewhere, somehow…they did.

Prologue

"But Mother--!"

"No buts, Sakura. You're a princess, and is your duty to show up at these events. Besides, the Royal Family of the Wind will be there, which includes Princess Tomoyo, ne? So hold your tongue while the dressmaker takes your measurements!"

A sigh. "Yes, mother."

Smiling fondly at her younger child, Nadeshiko Kinomoto strode out of the room, and softly closed the door, leaving Princess Sakura of the Ice standing in the middle of the room on a stool, surrounded by bustling ladies carrying a variety of tools.

Closing her bright emerald eyes briefly, Sakura sighed.

"It's not my fault I'm a princess…" she mumbled.

"Princess! Do hold your head still!" Sakura's childhood nurse, Miko, admonished.

Sakura winced.

"Hai, obaa-san,"

Meanwhile…

"Shen me!"

An enraged shout echoed throughout the spacious hallways throughout the Li Kingdom—or rather, the territory of the Fire.

"You heard me right, Li Xiaolang! You are going to that ball, period! Got it?" Li Sheifa poked her pointer finger into her younger brother's chest, her other hand on her hip.

"I refuse to!"

"You have to!"

"I will not, and that is final!"

With that, the boy called Li Xiaolang, or Li Syaoran stomped into his room, and slammed the door shut.

"ARGH! MOTHER'S NOT GONNA BE VERY HAPPY WITH YOU, LITTLE BROTHER!" Shiefa yelled at his closed door.

"I DON'T GIVE A FRICKIN' CARE!" was the muffled retort back.

"Fine!" Shiefa threw her hands into the air in annoyance. "But if Father is forced to come, don't blame me—"

"Alright alright…I'm coming," Syaoran opened the door reluctantly as he grumbled.

"That's a good little boy!" Suddenly happy, Shiefa reached up to pat her little brother's head, and he swatted at her offending hand as he leaned away to avoid her touch.

A kick.

"OW!"

"Hmph! That's what you get for not listening to your big sister!"

"Damn…"

Tsuzuku…

A/N: So, whaddaya guys think? Once again, the characters might seem a bit OOC, so…lol. Keep tuned for the Chapter One, the Meeting! Don't forget to review if you want to read the rest of it. As usual, at least 3 reviews until the next chappie please! )

Lotsa Love,
