A/N You people think this is going to fast? Shite, If I kept it at the pace
it is going at it'll be a long story ((for me)), but any slower. Woah.
Well, anyways. You'll find out who Syaoran is soon enough, but be warned,
he isnt all the good he seems.
chapter-4
Syaoran and Sakura walked down the streets of the city. People buzzed around, doing their jobs and stalls were set up all over the road. Syaoran watched Sakura intently as she gazed at the city as though she had never seen it before. "First time here Sakura?" Syaoran caught Sakura off-guard, "Yeah... uh, I mean. Its my first time here, I have been to markets in my city," she stammered, not really knowing what to say.
"You dont live here? That'll explain why I havent seen you around before." Syaoran gently took Sakuras hand in his own. "Ill show you the sights, shall I?" Sakura smiled widely and nodded.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Sakura froze and Syaoran looked at her panic stricken face. "Run" She whispered. Syaoran looked behind her, two soldiars from the palace were running after them. Syaoran winced "Oh, damn" He and Sakura took off like down the street, much to the annoyance of the guards.
Syaoran lead Sakura towards an used alleyway. He hid her eyes and taped on some bricks. A large opening appeared and Syaoran lead Sakura through the darkness, the opening closing behind them. Syaoran sat down against a stone wall and helped Sakura sit beside him. Sakura shivered as the cool air of the tunnel found its way through her short-sleeved outfit. Syaoran wrapped his arms around her, taking the cold wind's bite on himself. "Why did you take me too?" Sakura asked through chattering teeth. "They wanted me, My father he liv.. I mean, is staying at the palace,"
Almost blinded by the darkness, Syaoran stared at her. "And you are too?" Sakura nodded, Syaoran turned away. "This complicates things." He frowned in the darkness, Sakura could feel the tension, "Listen, You go back to the palace. I've some work to do. Meet me by the palace walls at 10pm tomorrow night okay?" Sakura sighed and nodded. "I will."
He took her by the hand and led her back up the passage. After opening the entrance he turned to her "Be careful, and what ever you do DON'T talk to anyone about me." Sakura raised an eyebrow that went unnoticed as Syaoran scampered back down the tunnel.

Sakura walked into the throne room at twelve, she froze at the sight of 'Sir' Toby standing by her father. Her eyes narrowed as he ran over to her. "Oh Sakura! Thank the Lord you are okay." He bowed stiffly, his eye was swollen and was a nasty purple colour. King Fujitaka walked to Sir Tobys side.
"Are you okay Sakura? We were very worried, expecially when Sir Tobias ran in this morning, claiming you had been kidnapped." Sir Toby smiled sincerely "I was very worried Sakura, love. Oh, What happened to you cheek?" He ran a finger over the yellowing bruise lightly. "I bet it was that awful man. He bet me up harshly too."
King Fujitaka smiled at Sakura. "You are a very lucky girl Sakura. Not only has Sir Tobias requested your hand in marraige, I have agreed." Sakura gasped and put her hand over her mouth. Seeing the stunned look on his daughters face pleased the old king. "I'm glad you agree Sakura, run along to your room, you will find your dresser waiting for you."
Sakura just stood there, not wishing to believe what she had heard. After seeing the smug look on Toby's she just smiled sarcastically at her father and walked out of the room.
"She likes you already, Tobias"
A/N: I am getting worse. Oh well, you will all hate me by the next chapter, we find out who Syaoran really is, and what Touya thinks of the marriage plans.
