NOTE:

This is my frist Fanfic! I love reading all the great stories published on FF and at one point I just decided that I want to join the writers and not just be a reader. When I had the idea for the story -I was watching Disney Movies and they always seem to inspire - I just had to write it done. Of course the story is still in progress.

I hope you like it! ;)

Chapter 1 – Meeting in a tree

It was a hot and sunny day like always in the city of Damat deep in the desert of the Kingdom that belonged to the Kinomoto family. The streets were busy and markets full of people trying to buy and sell fruits, vegetables and nearly everything you need at home.

You could see a shadow moving around the carriages which were fully loaded with apples, bread and more stuff to be carried to different cities in the kingdom, to be sold on the markets there.

Quick movements and a second later the fast hands had griped some items of the carriage and before the someone could notice they were gone as quickly as they had appeared. You could hear a faint chuckle and the teenager placed his stolen goods in a bag around his shoulders and went off. Just when he was about to step out in the mess of people filling the market two guards stepped in his way facing him with their swords in their hands.

"You! Stop right there and give back what you have stolen, you are under arrest for burglary!", one of the guards stepped forward in the attempt of taking the bag but the teenage boy just started running, passing both of the surprised guards and heading full speed to the crowded market.

"What was that?" The one guard look puzzled "Syaoran, the prince of the thieves. There is no one as fast and as talented in stealing as him." The other one said while chasing after Syaoran.

The thief just passed the people trying to get to his secret hidden place when he saw in shock that he wouldn't be able to get there, because the street he would have to take was full of palace guards who seemed to be paying the town a visit. Remembering the two guards behind him, he quickly came up with a new escape plan – the gardens around the city. He knew and loved one part on particular which was a small forest with a huge tree in the centre which he learned to easily climb up to hide.

He started to run even faster making the guards behind him loosing their view on where he was heading and rushing through the gardens into the forest and finally up the tree. He was pouting hard when he settled on one of the thick branches leaning his back against the tree and closing his eyes for a minute. He started looking into his bag and examining the food he had stolen when he heard a scream. He quickly put his bag on the branch and jumped down a few branches to see where it was coming form but still hiding in the tree. Then he saw her.

At first she was a small figure appearing near the tree, but when she run closer he could see her beautiful features. She was a teenage girl, about his age, slim figure, brown but in his eyes nearly golden hair and when she looked around searching for something he got caught in her emerald eyes.

Before he could move, she was already clinching on the tree, trying desperately to climb up. He could hear faint voices calling a name he couldn't understand, making the girl even more freaked out. He had two options: First, leaving the girl down there facing who ever she was running from or Secondly helping her up, but risking to be caught as the prince of thieves.

Syaroan didn't care about being caught when he saw tears falling her cheeks and he quickly climbed down the tree taking the girls hand out of nowhere, pulling her up and placing her on a branch. He then began to move up the tree, taking one of her hands in his and helping her to follow him up.

Reaching nearly the top, the same place Syaoran had placed his bag before he stopped and breathed exhausted from climbing and the extra weight of the girl. Wait! The girl!

He spun around and faced her looking just as exhausted as he did and just as surprised.

"Wow", she looked startled,"thank you for saving me!" She realised what he had just done for her and gave him a hug and a warm smile, having slightly red cheeks when she touched the handsome boy in front of her, with his brown messy hair and his deep hazelnut eyes. But she had to thank him properly for saving her.

Syaoran tried to focus and shyly (since when was the prince of thieves shy?) asked her why she was running away and who she was chased by. When the girl just looked away sadly, obviously not wanting to answer he just smiled at her taking her small hand in hers and said. "It's okay, you don't have to tell me. I'm Syaoran by the way. What's your name?" She blushed when she felt is warm, strong hand on hers, but looked him in the eyes and smiled "Sakura, nice to meet you!"

They could hear the screams moving away and then there was just silence.
