Runaways

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS. This is going to be a trilogy with multiple chapters per part of the trilogy. No Touya and no Syaoran's sisters. Eli and Eriol are two different people as are Tomoyo and Madison. Now on with the really long story…
There was a time when Japan was ruled by two kingdoms, The Kinomoto Kingdom and The Li Kingdom. The Kinomoto Kingdom was ruled by a kind man named Fujitaka Kinomoto with his beautiful daughter, Princess Sakura Victoria Trisana Kinomoto. The Li Kingdom was ruled by a stern woman named Yelan Li with her handsome son, Prince Syaoran Edward Phillip Li. Our epic story of adventure starts out with Princess Sakura hurrying back to the Kinomoto Castle.
Sakura was late for dancing lessons with Madam Vernda. She despised dancing lessons and would much rather be back at the stable riding horses. Sakura was different from other princesses, she wasn't an airhead and she hated embroidery, etiquette, dancing, princess lessons, and just about everything that came with being a princess.
Sakura also knew magic, a very rare thing for one of royal blood to know. She had coaxed the mage of the castle to teach her and she took lessons in secret for about two years before her father found out. 'It just isn't done' he had scolded her. She learned other things improper for a princess to know like martial arts, fencing, cooking, politics, languages, and other sorts of things. She was also mistress of the legendary Sakura Cards.
Soon Sakura reached the ballroom and found her father waiting for her.
"I'm terribly sorry I'm late, Father. I was just-," Sakura was cut off.
"That's all right. I want to talk to you. Please follow me to my study." The King strode through the halls until he came to an unmarked wooden door. He opened it and sat down at his desk. Sakura sat down across from him, irritably moving her skirts out of the way.
"Yes, Father?" Sakura asked. Fujitaka cleared his throat and started,
"Sakura, dear, you are now engaged to the Prince of the Li Kingdom." Sakura's eyes went wide. Fujitaka continued, "Sakura, do this for the country. Tomoyo and Eriol of the Hiiragizawa dynasty are raiding our lands and I fear that they may declare war on us. If you marry the Prince, we will have an alliance with the Li Kingdom and will be able to overthrow the Hiiragizawa's strong mages and warriors," He explained patiently.
Sakura got up and walked out to the gardens without a word. She couldn't trust herself to speak. Fujitaka, knowing that she needed to think, let her leave. She stopped at a fountain that had a perfect view of the Li palace just 22 miles away.
"Father, I'm sorry. I can't marry someone I don't love. But how can I break this to him?" She wondered aloud.
"So Your Majesty, I see you have some problems," A voice whispered nearby. Sakura jumped.
"Who's there?" She called. A figure with strange amber eyes and brown/blond hair jumped out of the bushes.
"Jessica Vetter at your service. I need someone to help me around my cave. You could come with me. I leave tonight at dusk. If you agree to help, meet me here at dusk. If not, I'll leave without you." As quickly as Jessica had come, she disappeared.
"Weird. But run away? I can't leave Father! She weighed the pro's and con's until she came to a decision. "I'll do it. Besides, when word gets out I'm missing, knights will come after me to rescue me. I can always go with one of them if I don't like it."
Now we will meet Prince Syaoran. The Prince is now going through intense training. Only the Queen can interrupt him.
Syaoran was fiercely attacking the magical dummy. It became stiff and left the room. He bowed, knowing that it was his Mother that was here.
"Follow me," She ordered and he obeyed. She lead him to her study. "You're going to marry the Princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom," She told him bluntly. Syaoran exploded.
"THERE IS NO WAY THAT I AM GOING TO MARRY ANY AIRHEADED PRINCESS!" Syaoran roared. Yelan stayed calm.
"You will marry the Princess or you will never become King." That struck a chord. Syaoran Li strived to be King. It was the only ray of hope during his long hours of training, lessons, and punishments. He got up and stormed out of the room and into the gardens.
"I am not going to marry some airhead Princess no capable of anything except whining, giggling, gossiping, and clinging!" He growled fiercely.
"So Your Highness, I see you have a predicament," A voice said from the bushes.
"Show yourself!" Syaoran ordered. None other than Jessica Vetter jumped out of the bushes.
"I'm Jessica Vetter and I would like help running my cave. Since you seem to have a problem, you can come with me. I will return a little before dusk. If you are here, then I shall take you with me. If you're not here, then I will leave without you." And Jessica was gone.
'Hmm…' Syaoran thought.
So how was that for the first chapter? It will get interesting. Please review. Jesus Freak signing out!^_~!
