Yours Forever, Syaoran

A/n: Okay, the next chapter is up. *Yawn* No one is reviewing my stories, and you all know that your reviews are greatly appreciated and show me that I am a good writer. It's encouragement to continue with my stories. Once I finish this story, I'm beginning a newer, more epic kind of romance story, but it turns out that many of my stories are about real-life/Anime crossovers..........wait, why am I telling you this? *evil chuckle* You'll have to find out for yourself. Well, anyway, please read and review and the story will be finished in no time. Thanks!

On to the Fic!

Yours Forever, Syaoran: Chapter 4

Sunlight streamed through the opened curtains of Sakura's room, waking the gentle princess from her peaceful sleep. She rubbed her emerald green eyes and tossed her honey-hued hair over her shoulder. Kero, her guardian, awoke at the same time his mistress did. He flew over to Sakura and plopped down on her shoulder, smiling.

"Good Morning, Sakura-chan!" He said cheerfully. Sakura smiled at the little being and pat him on the head.

"Good morning Kero-chan!" She stretched. "I had a great sleep last night. Welp, time to get dressed!" She got up, Kero still on her shoulder. She walked into her closet and pulled out a full skirted, light pink, floor sweeper with white ribbons adorning it. The sleeves of the dress was short and flared, so when she raised her arms, they would fold back in a fan-like affect. She slipped on the dress, being careful not to muss it, all the time humming a sweet and cheerful morning tune. She sat down in front of her rather large vanity and pulled began to fix her hair. She pulled it back in a half ponytail and carefully weaved a net of cherry blossoms into it that Tomoyo had given her the day before. She finished her hair by placing a lovely tiara studded with pink cherry blossom-shaped diamonds on top and smiled once more at her lovely complexion.

"Sakura can we go eat now? I'm hungry!" Kero complained. Sakura smiled at him and slipped on a pair of pink satin slippers. Kero flew over to her shoulder.

"Ok Kero, we'll go now." A tiny knock at the door stopped her.

"Come in!" Sakura called happily. The door slowly opened and Sakura smiled at the figure that stood before her.

"Oh good morning Tomoyo-chan! Oh you do look lovely!" Sakura cried, and the words she spoke were true. Tomoyo wore a dress of lavender silk, trimmed with creamy white ribbons. It's sleeves ended at the elbow but then had a fringe of lace that reached about six inches below the elbow and she wore lavender slippers on her feet. Her hair let down and twined with lavender ribbons and tiny white flowers. A dainty silver tiara studded with amethysts finished off the picture.

"Why thank-you Sakura-chan! And you look great yourself. Why don't we go down to the great hall for breakfast?" Tomoyo asked, smiling. Sakura got up and took Tomoyo's arm. The two 18-year-olds walked arm-in-arm to the great hall downstairs, chatting merrily, but came across an someone Tomoyo didn't particularly want to see that cheeful morning: Eriol.

He walked out of his room, about 3 doors down of Sakura's room. Both girls gasped when they saw him, Tomoyo especially for how good he looked. He wore a dark blue tuxedo made of soft and comfortable fabric. It had a lose white undershirt, and comfortable black shoes. He was, quite frankly, very handsome. He smiled at Sakura and Tomoyo as they walked up to him.

"Good morning Princess Sakura and Princess Tomoyo! Lovely day, no?" He asked cheerfully, talking to Tomoyo as thought he had forgotten the night before. Unbeknownst to her, he had not, and neither did she, but she thought he did and followed along.

"Good morning Prince Eriol. Yes it is a lovely day. Care to join us to the great hall for breakfast?" Sakura asked, smiling that million-yen smile of hers. Eriol smiled back and took her other free arm.

"Love to. So, did you sleep well daughter?" Sakura couldn't help but smile at his habit of calling her such sweet names as 'daughter', 'sweet' or all the other things she could think of.

"Yes I slept quite well. After a little midnight chat with Tomoyo of course. I was fine after that." Eriol looked over at Tomoyo and smiled (a/n: Wow, everyone always smiles here!). She blushed and looked ahead at the large golden double doors that had suddenly appeared before them, signaling the entrance of the Great hall. Two guards stood on either side, and bowed low before the threesome and opened the two doors for them. The trio entered, still chattering silently, Tomoyo looking a little forlorn.

"Ah, Good morning dear Princess Sakura!" A cheery voice called. It was Prince Yamazaki, Princess Chiharu's husband. He was known for his little habit of lying, and his wife, Chiharu, knew exactly how to handle him. She appeared behind her husband, smiling happily.

"Good Morning Chiharu-chan, Yamazaki-kun!" Sakura chirped. Eriol and Tomoyo bowed low and smiled at their friend's. Eriol pulled out two seats beside each other and held his hand for Sakura and Tomoyo to sit. They both smiled and sat down, Yamazaki doing the same for Chiharu. They ordered their breakfast from a passing servant, eating and chatting the morning away.

"Princess Sakura, Princess Sakura!! Oh dear, Princess Sakura, where are you?" a familiar voice called. Rika was running about the entire castle looking for Sakura. She carried a letter in her hand, and seemed rather excited. Tomoyo, being in her room the whole time, stuck her head out of the door.
"Rika-chan, why are you yelling for Sakura? She's right here in my room." Sakura's head followed Tomoyo's and Rika's face flushed from embarrassment.

"Uh, Princess Sakura? I have a letter for you from your father." She bowed before handing the letter to Sakura. Sakura gave her a smile.

"Why not join us, Rika-chan?" Rika smiled sadly but shook her head, quickly explaining that she was busy. Sakura shrugged, smiled then she and Tomoyo reentered her room, shutting the door tightly behind them.

"Hurry Sakura-chan, I want to see what Uncle Fujitaki (A/n: Spelling?) has written to us!" Sakura grinned at her friend's eagerness and quickly opened the letter.

To My Dear Sakura-chan, and my beloved niece, Tomoyo-chan,

Sakura, how good it is to hear from you. Gomen if this letter reaches you a bit later than needed, but you know how the mail is. It's very hard to get letters from Janelia to our kingdom. I have bad news. Your brother is injured. He's very weak from his latest battle with the Janelians. We are sending him home, much to his protests. The good news is that Syaoran will be accompanying him. But it will only be about a week before Touya and Syaoran's wounds are treated before they get back. I hope you use this time with him well.

Moreover, the war is falling to the side of good. News of whether the battle has been won will be in soon. Expect Syaoran and Touya.

Your Father,

King Fujitaki

Sakura gaped at the letter, reading it over and over, as she had with the letter from her husband. This time though, she knew her father wasn't lying. She squealed and jumped up, hugging Tomoyo, laughing gleefully.

"Oh Tomoyo, he's coming back, he's coming back!!" Tomoyo laughed. Yes the full-of-life little cherry blossom was back.

"Oh I can not wait! This is to exciting!" She got up and danced around the room, looking as if she were on cloud nine. Tomoyo sighed happily.

"Come Sakura-chan. We must dress our best." Sakura danced over to Tomoyo and let her lead her to her closet.
