~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A young girl of about six dashed through the woods, her small feet crunched through the snow. The vivid memories of that night played in her mind over and over like a never ending horror movie. Though she didn't show it the pain, sadness, betrayl and most of all fear was held in her gem like emerald eyes. Seeking refuge in the small hollow of a tree she curled up in a tight ball and closed her eyes, letting the exhaustion from the days event sweep over her, making her fall into the serene calmness of sleep.

"XIORAN HOW COULD YOU ATTACK THE KINOMOTO KINGDOM ON CHRISTMAS!!!" A voice rang out through the castle as the man on the ebony black stallion rode through the gate. A distraught looking woman looked into her husbands amber eyes. "Yelan, I had to, they wouldn't give up the book. And Christmas was the perfect time, for they were not suspecting a surprise attack." Xioran Li explained calmly. "DID you find the damn book?" Yelan exclaimed trying to hold back the anger that she had felt when she had learned of her husbands attack on the Kinomoto kingdom. "No but, I know that it was probably destroyed in the fire." Xioran explained a murderous grin on his face. "Anyways this country does not need weaklings like the Kinomoto kingdom." After saying these words Xioran than excused himself, handing over his stallion to the shaken stable hand he entered the castle.

~*~Next Day~*~

A boy of about six with chestnut hair and amber eyes entered his fathers study, "Father I am going into the woods for a walk." The young boy exclaimed, his amber eyes filled with the determination and curiosity to explore something other than the castle's grounds. "Fine, go but be back by dinner Xiolang." Syaoran's father said with an amused chuckle, seeing the determination and curiosity that the young boy showed through his amber eyes. A look of pure enjoyment passed the prince's face as he made his way across the small field to the forest.

----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*---

The girl woke up, opening her eyes she met two illuminesent yellowish green ones, these sharp canine eyes held hunger. Immeadiatly fearing the creature infront of her the young six year old backed up as far as she could. Whimpering to herself she started crying out of fear.

----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*---

~~Syaoran's POV~~

I was walking through the woods when I saw a wolf like creature curculing a tree, I paid no head to it thinking that the creature was just trying to get lunch until I heard a human like cry followed by a couple of whimpers. I shewd the wolf like beast away and then went up to the hollow. At first I thought it was empty until I saw a small lump curled up in the furthest corner. Not wanting to risk my life or fingers I took a near by branch and poked the lump.

~~Normal POV~~

"OW what was that for?" the young girl exclaimed as she turned around to find her emerald eyes meet amber. Xiolang was taken aback by the pain, betrayl, sadness and suddenly her eyes clouded over with fear as she tried to dig further into the small hollow. "What do you want?" she asked her voice edged over with worry and fear. "Who are you?" she asked still trying to huddle further away from the boy. "I don't want anything from you and I am Prince Xiolang Li from the Li kingdom, you can call me Syaoran" he stated calmly. "And who are you? Why are you in a hollow?" Syaoran asked kindly but when he opened his eyes all he was met with was fear and pain in the young girls emerald eyes. "I-I-I'm S-s-sakura and my family's k-k-kingdom was attacked." Sakura stuttered still fearing the young man as he was part of the Li Clan. "Well Sakura you can come with me to my kingdom. I'm sure mother and father wouldn't mind." The young prince exclaimed, oblivious of the danger that he was
putting Sakura in. Sakura could only nod as she was dragged back to the Li clans kingdom.

----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*---

Syaoran and Sakura entered the castle's gates, upon entering the castle they were met by Xioran and with one look at the small girl his face turned from kind to outraged. "So there was a survivor, and the princess at that. GUARDS TAKE THIS FILTHY PIECE OF TRASH DOWN TO THE DUNGEONS AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOOK OF CLOW!!!" he screamed. Syaoran tried stopping them but was only thrown back and taken to his room where he was locked up.

----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*----*---

The guards did as they were told, they first questioned the small 6 year old trying to get a response or answer of some kind out of her. When this did not work they started whipping her, still getting no response they threw her into one of the cells. Turning there backs, they walked up the stairs to tell the king that their attempts were futile.

~*~A couple hours later~*~

A young boy dressed in a cloak ran down the stairs to the dungeons, cleverally evading the guards he made his way to the small cell where the emerald eyed princess was held. Using the key that he had stolen from his parents room he quickly entered the cell. Seeing that the young girl was uncouncious he took out a small card and said a few things in Chinese. The lashes on the girls back disappeared only scars now and the cut on the back of her head now only a bump. "She's only going to have a headache now." The young boy whispered to himself as he exited the small cell. Unknown to him and Sakura a pair of dark brown eyes watched as they young boy made his way back up the stairs. Where he was confronted by........
