Chapter 4 They Meet
Like usual, Sakura was late again. As soon as Sakura got to Tomoyo's room she was rushed into Tomoyo's shower. When she came out Tomoyo showed her the dress. It was the baby blue with the white and blue peonies covering it ^_^ Just to remind you what it looks like in case you forgot ^_^.
Sakura had a lot of split ends Tomoyo wound upcutting the majority of Sakura's hair off before most of her hair was even. Her hair had originally been below his knees ^_^ Can't imagine that. Maybe you can!!! Bear with me ^_^. After the hair cut Tomoyo gave her, she had layered hair with bangs. The shortest layer was down to her cheek, the second, midway between the chin and shoulder, the third, down to her shoulders, and the last right below the shoulders. Sakura put the dress on and Tomoyo put a peony in her hair. Sakura looked at herself in the mirror.
"Hooooeeee!" she whispered to herself, "she had never looked this pretty since the time when she could remember.
Tomoyo gave her a package. Sakura looked at it questioningly. Before Sakura could say anything she whispered "Open it."
Sakura opened it. Her eyes widened. "Tomoyo I could never take this," she said. It was a small purse that matched her dress exactly.
"Sakura" Tomoyo replied with a slight growl in her voice. "If you feel you can't take it, just imagine it as an early birthday present."
"Thank you sooooo much Tomoyo" she said jumping out of her seat and hugging Tomoyo.
"Oh and Sakura"
"Yeah?"
"I forgot to tell you but this ball is mainly to announce my engagement to my fiancé." 'And to find my brother bride. Here comes the bridal matchmaker!' she thought' "Well Sakura I have to go meet my fiancé before the ball. I'll see you there. K???"
"OK. See you there Tomoyo".
At the Ball:
Syaoran's POV
'Finally all the guests have been announced, now I can go take a break from all these flirting girls.' I look behind me and see all these girls following me. I quickly turn into a room. I look out through the peek hole. They are still there and fighting to get to the spot nearest to the door. "Mou.(geez) I said to myself, these girls don't give up!" I carefully climbed out through the window. "I am so lucky I stayed on the first floor," I said under my breath. I went back to the ballroom and entered through the front door. All the girls were missing, so I assumed they were still waiting outside the room.
I suddenly felt an aura drawing nearer. It wasn't that strong but it was friendly. It was also pink. 'Oh no.' I groaned, 'not another girl.' I quickly found a comfortable place to hide. The girl was awfully late and panting like she had been running. I caught my breath. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was radiating with beauty. She sat down in the corner and watched the dance floor. It seemed as if she felt she was only here to watch. I watched as a few men asked her to dance, only to be turned down.
Tomoyo started walking toward her. I would be close enough to hear their conversation. I perked up my ears and used my magical hearing spell. Hopefully she would just ignore the power. 'No such luck' as I cast the spell her eyes darted up, searching for me. She was about to stand up and look but Tomoyo started talking to her.
"You know very well that I did not invite you hear only to watch!" she exclaimed in an angry whisper.
"But Tomoyo, I am not even supposed to be here." she whispered.
"You're supposed to be here because you're my best friend and because if you had refused I would have ordered you to come"
"Are you sure about this Tomoyo? Because if you're not I'd rather leave. Besides it's not like I am going to do anything but watch anyway" she said.
"Oh no you don't. You are soooo not getting out of this one. Especially when you look soooooooooo KAWAII!!! Ooops, that was a little loud. Oh well," she said shrugging her shoulders. "I saw all those guys ask you for a dance. You should really give one of them a chance."
"Maybe Tomoyo" the girl said. But, I could see it in her face that she would not take that comment seriously.
Tomoyo was about to say something, but just then Eriol came and Tomoyo quickly quieted. Eriol was wearing a navy blue tux and for some reason he was also wearing a blue mask. 'Maybe he thought it was a masquerade ball."
"Hello my dear, lovely wife. May have the pleasure of a dance."
"Of course my dear."
As they walked away the girl sighed. I heard her mutter to herself something containing "that was sooo close, when is she gonna get that I'm waiting for my true love"
I quickly ended the spell and hid my aura before she felt it again. Still in hiding I debated whether I should ask her to dance. I finally decided I would.
I slowly walked over to her. 'This was the craziest thing I had ever done. Now I am chasing after a girl?' Before I knew it I was standing in front of her.
"Miss, may I please have the pleasure of this dance?" I asked slowly praying that I would not be rejected. She was about to say no when she looked up. Our eyes met and I could feel her eyes staring into mine. She had the most dazzling, greenest eyes I had ever seen and the most beautiful soft, auburn hair. "Nnnnnnn Before she could finish her no, she was standing and dancing. What was really funny was that she was still saying "Nnnnnnnn" as we started dancing. Then I guess she realized what she was doing and quickly stopped.
I look at her carefully. She is sooo beautiful. As I thought this I started to blush. I mentally kicked myself when I noticed where my thoughts were heading. Then I noticed we were still staring at each other.
Sakura's POV
As soon as Tomoyo walked away I said. "I know she doesn't understand. She already has her soul mate." I looked up at Tomoyo. "That was sooo close, when is she gonna get that I'm waiting for my true love. I wish she understood." I put my hands to my mouth realizing I had said that aloud. I looked back down. A few seconds later, two feet appeared. I pretended not to notice, but then the person asked if I would dance. I looked up and started saying no. "Nnnnnnnn" I kept on without even taking a breath. He was soooooo handsome. He had the deepest amber eyes in which I was getting lost. Before I could finish answering he had swept me onto the dance floor. It was a slow dance and as I started to pay attention to the song. It was then that I realized that I was still on the n in no and quickly shut up, mentally kicking myself. I realized I was still staring at him and he was still staring at me.
We started slowing down and soon came to a complete stop. His head started to lean closer. 'Maybe he is the one. Maybe he is my true love. My soulmate.' I thought. His mouth about a foot away from mine, he murmured "I am so sorry, but I didn't catch your name."
"Sakura and yours?" I murmured back.
"Sakura, what a beautiful name. My name is Syaoran"
His lips were now centimeters away from mine. I immediately pulled away.
"The Prince?" I asked.
"Mmhmm" was the only reply I got back.
He was still looking at me.
"Oh no" I said.
I started crying.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "Did I do something?"
"No of course not" I said as I started running. Tears blurred my vision, but I knew this castle like the back of my hand. I quickly found my room and locked the door. I leaned on the door and slowly sank down crying into my hands. I had almost thought that maybe Syaoran and I were meant to be. I had never let any other man catch my attention before. Yet he had caught my attention and in a matter of seconds. What am I thinking? Syaoran is a Prince. I am a lowly maid. We are not meant to be. This thought made me cry even harder. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Sakura, open the door. I know you are in there and I would like to talk to you. Sakuuuuraaa? Please open the door! It's not like I am mad at you" I opened the door.
Syaoran's POV:
I watched as she ran away. Did I do something wrong? Then I realized what I was doing. Absolutely nothing. I started to run after her, but the group of girls that were chasing me earlier, stopped me. I hadn't noticed them come in. I guess they came in while I was dancing with Sakura. Sakura. Sakura. Sakura. I could say that name for eternity and not get tired of it. The name suited her well.
'What happened to you! You're the Emotionless Prince'
'I never actually thought I'd fall in love in my entire life, but it happened. It happened so suddenly. Now I know what they mean by "Love at first sight".'
'Dream on lover boy. You were trained to be emotionless and you will not change.'
'Trained. I am not a beast with no feelings. I have feelings. And I just happen to have VERY strong feelings for that girl, Sakura.'
'For goodness sakes!!! You just met her five minutes ago and now your head over heels for her. NO. It's just a small infatuation or crush that will go away as soon as the ball is over.'
'It's not. I know it isn't. We're meant to be together.'
I knew I had fallen in love with a girl whom I did not know at all. A girl whom I felt as though I had been waiting my entire life for. It just fit. No, no. We just fit. I love her. I love her even though I will probably never admit it out loud. So long for now, Sakura, my love.
I watched as Tomoyo ran after Sakura.
Tomoyo's POV:
I watched as Sakura ran.
I watched as Syaoran started to run after her.
And I watched as he got stopped.
I knew what I had to do. I followed Sakura through the winding hallways of the palace. I had never seen her cry before. She was always so genki.
I knocked on the door and started saying Sakura's name and that I knew she was in there. Finally, right before I was about to give up, she opened the door. I looked around at the room I had given her. It was so neat and clean and, and PERFECT.
Sakura bowed to me still sobbing. I picked her up and brought her to the bathroom. I made her wash her face.
"Why in the entire world are you crying Sakura? You fell in love and almost became queen in one night. How the hell do you cry?" I asked, really wanting her to be my sister- in- law.
"H he. i is s. a,a p p p prince and w will s soon be e a k king, once he m m marr r ries. I am a m maid," She managed to sob out.
"No your not you're a lady." I said.
"But, once he finds out what I am that I didn't come from rich heritage, he wouldn't love me anymore."
I gasped. "Of course he would. If your love is true and his is also, then heritage will not change that."
I was about to leave, when Sakura grabbed my wrist.
"Tomoyo, thank you so much for your generosity and care. Nobody except my brother and father has ever shown me such kindness. Thank you. And if anyone asks who the girl at the ball was and where she went, don't say anything. Promise?" she said.
"I promise," I said reluctantly. And then I left.
SO. DO YOU LIKE IT???????????? IF YOU DO PLEASE REVIEW. THANKS LOTS.
