Summary: Sakura is a princess with a father who wants her to marry.

But what happens when she finds a cold fighter who looks just like the lost prince? S+S
Hey, please keep in mind this is a PG-13 story. I put it there because there is foul language and violence at time. There is some foul language in this chapter. Please remember, you have been warned!
Fu smiled at the boy, "I wish you could have seen the Li Kingdom. My homeland. Such a sad thing happened... It was too bad. You would have loved it, son."
"Really? What was it like father?"
"It had beautiful green hills and rivers. It was next to the ocean. That made it prosperous. The royal family was the most giving of all rulers. What happened to them... They didn't deserve. Especially the queen and heir..."
"What happened to the kingdom and royal family?"
Fu once again smiled. This time the smile was sad, "When you're older my dear son. When you're older."

Meiling was walking. Kero sat on her shoulder. He was saying something about being lost. To Meiling he was being very annoying. Especially since he had been saying that for the last hour or so...
She wished she had a cage a nice and small cage. Maybe sound proof so she couldn't hear him squawk. Yeah, that would be nice. If only she had magic like Sakura, then she could snap her fingers and proof! That annoying little toy would be in that little soundproof cage.
Though she did owe Kero her life. Sort of... She was confident she could've taken care of that monster. She sighed. What was done was done.
Meiling sighed as she remembered what happened.
~Flashback~
Meiling screamed as she and Kero fell face first in a vertical drop. Kero quickly looked around. Portals surrounded them. He looked down. The bottom only had one portal.
"Whoever made these portals wanted us to go down into that bottom one," Kero said, "I'm going to go into one of the other ones. Hopefully we'll end up close to the others."
Kero flapped his wings down with all his might. The after effect pushed them sideways and up. They flew right through a portal and landed on a green hill.
~End Flashback~
Meiling sighed. There was nothing to do. What done was done. But still... She was finding so hard to ignore that annoying little toy.

Ame smiled at Sakura, "You want to see my Brother, right?"
Sakura nodded, "Yeah. I'm a little worried. He had a lot of the injuries."
"You shouldn't worry about my brother. He's the toughest around!" Ame said with a grin.
Sakura smiled as she tried to stand. She wobbled slightly when she got onto her feet. She remembers her ankle the one that had been twisted.
Ame looked at her worriedly, "It's okay to walk, but don't put a lot of weight onto it."
Sakura nodded. She wondered why it didn't hurt as much as it did before. She remembered how she had used magic to heal Syaoran. She figured it must have healed her in way too. She also saw the bandages and figured that Ame or Hitomi had taken care of her wound.
Ame mentioned for Sakura to follow her, "Brother is in my room."
"Wouldn't he have his own room?" Sakura asked with a puzzled look.
"That room you were in used to be his," Ame said.
"Oh, so your mother made it a guestroom when he left?" Sakura asked.
"Something like that."
They stopped in front of a room. Ame carefully opened the door. Inside they saw Syaoran sitting in a chair next a table. He looked at them, "I see. I'm not going crazy then. I really am in my younger sister's room."
Ame smiled and hugged him, "Brother!"
Syaoran hugged her back and gave her a warm smile, "I've missed you."
Sakura felt her heart skip a beat. She thought that was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. Syaoran looked at her, his smile replaced by serious look, "You're well. That's good."
Sakura realized that smile was reserved for Ame. Perhaps Hitomi. Not for her or anyone else. Even though, she wished she could see that smile once more. She wished he would direct that smile at her.
"You appear well too," Sakura said quietly.
Ame smiled, "I'll go get you two some food. The both of you haven't eaten yet. I found you yesterday too. You must have not eaten for a day!"
With that she left, leaving Sakura and Syaoran the suspicion that she wanted them to be alone together. As if something would happen.
Syaoran stared at Sakura intently, giving her an uncomfortable feeling. She looked at the neatly made bed in a futile attempt to ignore his gaze.
"So you have magic. You don't strike me as the type."
Sakura whipped her head in Syaoran's direction, "How did you know!?"
"Eriol told me. I was having a conversation with him when you and Ame came inside," Syaoran replied.
"How?"
"Some mind thing Eriol does. I don't know how he does it exactly, but he can communicate with people who have magic through that ability."
"How did Eriol know I have magic? Do you have magic too? Since you talk to him like that," Sakura questioned.
"He said something about Tomoyo telling him after she found out he had magic. And no I don't have magic. I don't know why I can talk to Eriol like that without magic, but I can. It seems I'm the person without magic who can," Syaoran explained, "He said he might contact you, so don't be surprised if you suddenly hear him in your head. He does that. Oh, and when he does that just think you responses don't say it out loud. It'll annoy me if you say it out loud, plus people will think you're insane."
"Oh, um... okay then," Sakura said awkwardly.
She frowned. He was being mean again. He was only nice to her when Ame was around or if he had done something wrong! Sakura couldn't help but dwell on that fact as she sat on the bed. She went from slightly annoyed to absolute loathing.
"Why are you being so mean to me!?" Sakura asked as she stared at him. Her voice was loud enough to be her through the door.
"Don't be so loud!" Syaoran hissed, "If she finds out-"
Sakura became angrier when he said that. How dare he? SHE was a princess! SHE was always treated with respect! SHE always was respectful toward him, yet HE was always rude.
She knew she would be regretting what she was doing now, but she was so angry. She knew she was acting unlike herself, but for some reason he was able to make her angry. What she didn't seem to know was how much she would loathe herself for what she doing.
She yelled, "I'll be as loud as I want to be!"
They then heard the shuffles or footsteps. The door opened to reveal Hitomi and Ame.
Ame was as white as a sheet as she held a tray of food. Hitomi was unreadable in terms of emotions. That is until she laid eyes upon Syaoran. Her face and nature seemed to contort from warm and smiling to angry and cruel.
She looked at Syaoran with complete contempt, "What are you doing here!?"
Syaoran looked away from her unwilling to answer.
Hitomi now was livid, "GET OUT YOU DEMON!!!!"
Ame was now in tears, "Please! Mother! It was my fault! I brought him here! Please..."
Hitomi ran to Syaoran and slapped him hard, "How dare you!!! How dare you get my daughter to lie for you!!! You bastard child! Get out! GET OUT!!"
Syaoran looked at her, "I won't stay if I'm not wanted."
"Be quiet! I hate you!" Hitomi screamed as she slapped him again. She grabbed the vase on the table and threw it at him.
Sakura watched in horror as the vase hit Syaoran. He didn't move as blood seeped from his fore head and down his cheek. He then lifted his hand and touched the wound.
Hitomi turned and glared at Sakura, "You! Bitch! Get out! No friend of that demon is a friend of ours!"
Ame shook her head as tears fell from her eyes and splashed onto the floor. She then she glared at Hitomi, "I hate you!! I hate you!"
With that Ame dropped the tray of food and ran away from the room.
Syaoran looked at Hitomi, "Mother, please tell Ame I said goodbye..."
Hitomi glared at him, "I'm not your mother!! Get out you bastard, get out!!!!"
Syaoran left the room. Sakura followed, frightened beyond belief. She feared Hitomi would hurt her, as she did Syaoran.
Sakura followed Syaoran until they reached a brook.
Sakura watched Syaoran as he kneeled by the water and wiped the blood from his face "Syaoran I'm-
"I told you to be quiet," he interrupted. Sakura noticed his voice crack. She felt horrible as she knew it was all her fault. She had been the cause of that horrible scene. It had been her yelling that brought Hitomi to the room. Why couldn't she have let it go? Like all the times she had felt angry before. Why did she have to do that? Sakura thought questions like that and she began to cry.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's my entire fault. I don't deserve to even be here," Sakura said as tears fell soundlessly down her eyes.
'He must think I'm weak... I haven't cried this much since Yuki rejected me. What's wrong with me? I'm so horrible,' Sakura thought miserably.
Sat and cried silently. She cried until she felt a soft embrace. She looked up. Syaoran hugged her.
"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't been so rude," he said softly, "She has always been that way, my mother..."
Sakura wanted to ask why, but she felt too horrible to even look at him. Instead she cried softly on his shoulder until she fell asleep.
Syaoran looked at the sleeping girl.
"What is this feeling?" he whispered softly.
~*~
The five-year-old Sakura laughed as the prince of the Li Kingdom caught up to her. She laughed hard as he tickled her mercilessly. Soon Touya and the four Li princesses caught up with the two.
"Hey kid! Only I get to tickle Sakura!" Touya said with his hands on his hips.
The prince smiled and stopped. Sakura grinned and stood while dusting off her skirts. The group of royalty decided to play hide and seek with the young prince being "it."
Sakura tried to keep still as she hid behind a bush. The crown prince of the Li kingdom walked around. He walked away and she grinned thinking she was so clever for fooling him.
She screeched as two hands began to tickle her. She looked, laughed, and said between laughter, "Xiao Lang! Stop!"
He stopped and grinned, "I found you Ying Hua!"
Sakura sat up, "Ying Hua?"
He smiled, "It's your name in my kingdom!"
"Really? Can you can me that then?" Sakura asked anxiously.
"Didn't I just?" The seven-year-old boy asked as laughter twinkled in his warm amber eyes.
"Yeah! Will you call me that from now on?" Sakura replied.
"Yup! Because I like you, Ying Hua!" he announced with a smile.
"I like you too, Xiao Lang!"
Nadesiko, Yelan, Fujitaka -and the king of the Li Kingdom- Li Lueng were sitting around a table on the Kinomoto Castle main garden. They were watching their children play together harmoniously.
Sakura waved at them happily. Nadesiko waved back with the same amount of enthusiasm. Sakura smiled and ran to play with Li Syaoran, which she called Xiao Lang like he was called in the Li Kingdom.
Nadesiko smiled, "They get along very well, don't they?"
Yelan nodded, "Yes, I think we were right to betroth them."
Fujitaka looked at the group children, "The children all get along well. That is a good thing since Xiao Lang and Sakura is betrothed. One day we will all be family."
"Indeed, I look forward to that day," Lueng said in agreement.
"It's too bad your family must leave tomorrow," Nadesiko said sadly, "Can't you stay a few more days?"
"We would if we could. Unfortunately, we still have a few things to discuss with King Zei," Lueng answered.
"Well, when that is finished send message and we might visit," Fujitaka said with a smile.
"I would enjoy the visit," Lueng said smiling.
"We will make sure to send word," Yelan said, "But, lets enjoy this last day until then."
Nadesiko nodded, "That's true. One never knows what will happen on the horizon. We should always treasure these moments."
The other three nodded in agreement. The four parents continued watching their children play together happily.
Little did they know just how correct Nadesiko was. That was the last time the two royal families were together.
