Last chapter-

Tomoyo took the doll saying, "thank you Eriol, and I agree to peace." She smiled

The ride ended and Tomoyo and Eriol got off the boat.

Moments later Syaoran and Sakura's boat appeared to and they got off as well. When

they got off they were greeted by Yelan and the Li sister's. "Let's head back it's already

five. They all agreed and they headed back to the Li family house.



Now chapter 5-Back to the Kingdom



They all arrived back at the Li house and Sakura and Eriol thought that it was about time

they went home.

"Thank you for your hospitality Mrs. Li, I'll come back another time." Said Sakura

bowing

"It's was wonderful having you Sakura," she turned to look at Eriol and said, "you

remember to bring her back now.

Eriol nodded and said, "Oh course I will, and besides if I don't bring her she'll either

follow me, or she'll try to kill me and annoy until I bring her." Teased Eriol

Sakura glared at him and said, "don't worry Mrs. Li, like he said if he doesn't bring me

I'll annoy him till he does." Sakura said with a smile on her face.

Yelan laughed and said, "just don't forget to come again, we'll all be looking forward to

seeing you again.

Sakura and Eriol walked out of the door waving good-bye and headed to the palace again.

"So Sakura, did you have fun."

"Yeah and I'm even happier that you have to bring me too when you come out again."

"Yeah I know, I guess you are happy, I think that you are good luck too, Tomoyo and I

have been enemies for some time now, and once you came with me we befriended each

other."

"Really, you two aren't enemies anymore, that's good."

When they got to the palace they sneaked in and went to their rooms.

Sakura plopped on her bed and thought about the wonderful day she had, 'I think that

Eriol regretted taking me today' she giggled 'now he has to bring me every time he goes

out or else Mrs. Li will kill him' she thought and laughed more and then her maid

brought in her dinner and she started to eat.

While she was eating, Meiling suddenly arrived and her arrival was announced while she

walked in, Sakura bowed and said, "Hello big sister, what brings you here at this hour."

Said Sakura

"Well Sakura, I came here because I heard that father and mother wanted to engage you

to Prince Seiji of the Tsukishiro kingdom, am I correct.?"

Sakura frowned and nodded saying, "Yeah, father and mother both think that I should be

engaged at my age."

"Oh don't be so sad Sakura, you know there is always a possibility that Prince Seiji will

cancel the engagement, it can always happen."

"Thanks Meiling for trying to cheer me up, but I don't think that it'll happen, even

though it's a possibility I don't think that it's very likely."

Sakura and Meiling talked more and then Sakura wanted to ask Meiling who she was

engaged to so she said, "so Meiling, who is the lucky prince that is engaged to you, I

think it's from someone from the Chan Kingdom."

Meiling blushed a little and said, "well actually we're engaged because we met when we

were little and we kind of fell in love."

Sakura had an amused smirk on here face and said, "so.what's his name."

Once again a blush crept on Meiling's face and she replied, "Well, his name is Siew

Lung, (it means little dragon in Cantonese in case anyone wanted to know) and he's

from.."

"The Chan Kingdom." Finished Sakura

Meiling was still blushing and nodded, "he's really nice and sweet and." Meiling trailed

Off because she saw the amused smirk on Sakura's face and said, "what?"

"I thought that it was just so romantic that you can be with your loved one and in your

case, you just about chose your husband and father didn't make you."

"Don't worry Sakura, if you do marry prince Seiji, you might be happy with him, and if

your lucky and he cancels the engagement then," she paused for a second and said, "then

that means that your destiny is to be with someone else." Meiling smiled at her little

sister.

Sakura looked at her sister and was amazed at how wise her sister can be sometimes and

can always cheer Sakura up when she is down, that was why she loved her sister, "by the

way, I got you a present Meiling, I found it and I thought that it would look nice on you,"

Sakura looked through her bed and took out the gold bracelet with pink jade on it to look

like cherry blossoms and handed it to Meiling saying, "I thought that maybe you would

like this, well do you like it?" asked Sakura

"Yes, thank you Sakura. It's getting late, I think I'll go back to my room now, see you

tomorrow Sakura."

Sakura waved good-bye to her older sister as the servants announced her departure and

Sakura just finished her dinner.

When Sakura was done with her dinner her maid cleaned the table. She was friends with

her maid and said, "San, (that's the maid's name) can you come over here please?"

San came over and said, "Yes princess."

"I told you already that you can call me Sakura when there isn't anyone around."

"Yes you did but Princess, if anyone hears me I will be beheaded."

"Nonsense, I don't get it why do you have to call me Princess and not able to call me

Sakura, if so why does my father and mother bother to name me. San I want you to call

me Sakura whenever they're not around," she looked at her maid and said, "Ok San."

San dared not to follow the Princess' orders so she nodded and said, "yes Pr- I mean

Sakura."

"Good, now San I have a present for you."

San was surprised because she has never received a present before, especially not from a

member of the royal family.

Sakura saw how shocked San was and said, "why are you so shocked San?"

"Well Sakura, I've never received a present, nor did I ever imagine anyone ever will,

especially someone from the royal family."

"Nonsense San, we're friends, and me giving you a present is normal."

Sakura took out a necklace that had a ring hanging from it, the necklace itself seemed to

be made of gold and the ring seem to be made of jade. On the ring had the words

Tomodachi (friend) Sakura and San.

San was so amazed at the necklace and looked at Sakura and tears of happiness grew in

her eyes, and she said, "thank you Sakura, it's wonderful."

"I'm glad you like it San, I had the jeweler engrave that into the ring to show our

friendship."

"Oh thank you Sakura I love it. I never thought that I can find a true friend, everyone in

the kingdom pick on me."

"Oh San, don't worry, there are lots of people that are your friends, you just need to look

for them, that's all."

"Thank you Sakura, I'm going to go back to work now."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow San."

"Good-night Sakura." And San left the room

Sakura sighed and thought back to when she first met San.

~*~Flashback~*~

Sakura was walking around when she spotted a girl run out of the kitchen. She looked

over to her father, who was standing next to him and asked, "Father, who is that."

"I don't know," he then saw someone who was worked in the kitchen come out and

asked, "Cook, who is that girl."

Cook looked at the king and dropped on his knees and said, "Please forgive me your

highness, I saw her outside the palace in the forest while I was getting ingredients from

the village and she looked so hungry, so I took her to the palace and she lives in my

room, she goes into the kitchen when she's hungry and I give her extras from the

kitchen" he was still on his knees and was begging for the king not to behead him nor that

poor girl.

"Father, may I speak to Cook." The king nodded and Sakura said, "Cook, what's her

name?"

"Well, she said she had no name so I gave her the name San."

Sakura turned to her father and said, "Well father, instead of beheading either of them,

why not just let Cook go and have San be my personal maid, since I need one now

anyways since June left the palace to marry."

The king took Sakura's advice and announced that San shall be Sakura's personal maid.

When San arrived at Sakura's room, she was washed up and she was changed into clothes

that maids wear.

San bowed and said, "Thank you your highness for not beheading me and allowing me to

be your maid."

"Oh please stand up San, it's no big deal," Sakura dismissed the guards that brought San

there and told San to sit, "you don't have to call me highness or Princess, I will give you

permission to call me Sakura."

San dropped to her knees and said, "I'm sorry your highness, but I am not able to, the

king will behead me if I am to call the Princess by her name."

"How about this San, you call me Sakura whenever no one is around."

"Yes your highness."

"I told you to call me Sakura." And Sakura gave her a reassuring smile

"Yes Sakura."

~*~End of Flashback~*~

Sakura decided that she was sleepy and decided to go to sleep, she plopped on her bed

and fell into a deep slumber as she thought about the next day.
