'Sakura...?' Syaoran thought. Then his heart skipped a beat.
"I'm fine Tomoyo, just...fine..." A muffled voice was heard, Sakura's face was pressed down on to the floor.
Syaoran walked over and took Sakura's hand.
Sakura suddenly felt an impulse strike her. She opened her green eyes, when amber met emerald...

Sakura lost all senses. She gazed into the man before her, his eyes were so enchanting. She couldn't keep herself away.
'Uh oh!!! I'm so dead! The King is going to kill me...' Syaoran thought. 'But...wow...that's all i can say...'
"Wow..."Syaoran managed to mumble.
Tomoyo looked at the two on the ground looking at each other.
"Ahem!" (Clears throat)
Sakura blinked madly and managed to say, "Oh!"
Syaoran was still holding her hand, she hadn't pulled away. He looked down at his hand, her small delicate hand and pulled away.
There was an eerie silence until Tomoyo broke it again.
"So, we both heard you're music..."
Sakura only nodded, she hadn't noticed her mouth was wide open.
"Sorri..." She said, but came out as a squeek.
"Oh, it's ok, ummm...yeah." Syaoran didn't know what to say. "So what brings you two lady's here?" He was trying to be nice, they were royalty after all.
"Sakura here, heard you playing and well...thought there was something wrong with it.
Sakura only nodded, her mouth still open and her eyes wide with disbelief. 'Was this the pianist? He's so much more handsome then any of the pianists before him, any of the princes i've laid eyes on.' She thought.
"Oh, you really thought something was wrong?" He said it in a casual tone.
Sakura nodded, this time her mouth had closed, slightly.
"Really? Same here!" Syaoran answered like he'd known her for quite sometime.
"I mean...yes i've noticed an indifference to my peice also..."
"You don't have to talk like that to us, it's really annoying." Tomoyo answered because she knew Sakura couldn't talk.
Syaoran put a hand behind his head and moved his hair.
"Sakura, if i may call you that, what do you think is wrong?"
Sakura nodded yes and said,"There's a note missing i think. It sounds incomplete to me..." 'WOW! I talked to him!'
'What a beautiful voice...' Syaoran exclaimed.
"Do you have any experience with piano?"
"Ummm...no, i never wanted to learn." She answered briskly.
Tomoyo giggled, they seemed so perfect together.
"Sakura we have to go, it's late." Tomoyo didn't want to brake up the moment, but the bed calls!
Sakura nodded and walked away with Tomoyo, but not without giving Syaoran another look and smiled.
He fixed his shirt.
"Quite the charmer." Syaoran heard another voice.
"Why are you here?" Syaoran asked annoyed.
"You know why i'm here, we're here on a mission Syaoran, we've only come to take back our diamond rose."
"Eriol, c'mon i just got here, let me get to know the king, let me get his trust, then soon we'll get it back!" Syaoran asnswered quickly.
"Shut up, my cute little descendant." Eriol answered in a playful tone.
Syaoran rummaged through his already messy hair.
"I've noticed you've gained a liking for her..."
"ERIOL!!!"
Syaoran dashed to cath him but Eriol used his magic to teleport. In Syaoran's mind he heard Eriol's last instructions...
"Don't forget, you're hear to capture back the diamond rose, not the princess!"
Syaoran sat down again then remembered something.
"She deosn't even know my name!"

Tomoyo sat down on her bed with Sakura.
"So, what do you think?"
"Think what? Tomoyo, you're acting strange..."
"The pianist, you know, you think he's hot!"
"Hoe...?" Sakura was lost in his firey amber eyes again. "Do not!. i think he's a very good player..."
"A player huh? I didn't see him look at me, Sakura he's was flirting with you!"
"I didn't mean a *player*, i meant a piano player, next time let me finish my sentance." Sakura answered.
"Yeah, but it's more fun to see you're face, when you're all confused."
"So Tomoyo, you wanted to sleep, right?"
Tomoyo looked at Sakura.
"No...I wanted to make you a new dress!"
Sakura hit her forehead with her hand. "Tomoyo!"
"Well...I felt left out you know and he is kinda cute."Tomoyo winked playfully and Sakura pushed Tomoyo off the bed.
"Ow..." She rubbed her bottom.
Sakura smiled playfully, tipping her head to one side.
"What's all this racket?"
Touya came walking in rubbing his brown eyes.
"Nothing, you're sister here..."
"Tomoyo wants to make me another dress and i don't want her to."
"Well, get some sleep, Sakura another prince is coming tomorrow." Touya repleied with playfulness.
"WHAT!?! Didn't i tell dad, I WANT TO FIND HIM ON MY OWN???" Sakura's face was red, practicaly glowing in the dark of the room.
"It's ok Sakura, you'll just have to beat him up also..."Tomoyo whispered in Sakura's ear, hoping Touya didn't hear.
"Well...what ever the case, I hope this guy stays atleast longer than 2 days, they always seem to leave on such short notice."
Sakura giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"NOTHING." Both of the girls answered at the same time.
Touya eyed them weirdly, "well get some sleep, you've got quite a day tomorrow." And Touya left with that remark.
Sakura sighed. "Another stupid prince! I hate them ALL!"
"Sakura, all you have to do is tell them off."
Sakura fell back on the pillow. "Yeah, but Tomoyo. it's really hard to go through so many men, all want your hand. They act so nice, but whiney. They're stuck up, they think they're perfect, all just because their..."
"Royalty." Tomoyo finished for her. "Get some rest Sakura, you're brother is right it's going to be a long day."
Sakura sighed and went to get changed. She lay on her bed, looked up at the ceiling. "What a guy..." And closed her eyes to rest for another day.

Syaoran woke up. He was laying in his bed with no top on. He turned his head to look outside through the window.
"Another day..." He got up. What a peacful morning it was, the sweet smell of the morning with the sun still half asleep, the sun and moon hanging together.
A loud yelling was heard and Syaoran shot a look to the door. A maid came laughing in, coming to change his sheets. Syaoran just looked at her.
The maid flushed red. "Oh, sorry, i'll come back later."
"What's all the noise about?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh that, Sakura wont wake up and her brother threw cold water on her." The maid said between giggles.
Syaoran walked over to the door and looked down the hall. He saw Sakura holding a pillow chasing her brother who was red from either laughing, or running, still holding a bucket.
Syaoran cracked a rare smile that actually ment something. 'This girl sure is different, not like any other princess i've met."
Sakura came spriniting at Touya and jumped in mid air to catch him. Touya saw this and ducked. Sakura couldn't slow her self down and flew right into Syaoran's bare chest.
He was still standing and caught her wrists. She was blushing madly.
"Oh! I'm s-sorry."
Syaoran looked at her then her brother. "Ummm..good morning princess." And bowed to her.
"Hoe...?" 'Why was he acting like this?' Then she noticed her brother glaring at Syaoran.
"Gaki..." he muttered under his breath.
Touya was older, but didn't seem much stronger than Syaoran. His abbs bulging out of his stomach and strong muscualr arms.
'Strange for a piantist to have so many...muscles.' Sakura thought.
Touya walked over to Syaoran. "Why are you half naked?!?!" He was very angry, fire burning in his eyes.
"I just woke up, you're highness. I heard all the commotion and went to see if there was any trouble." It was partly true, but he had heard Sakura screaming at her brother.
"And you had no time to put a top on?"
"I thought there was trouble and assistance was needed right away." He lied, but Touya couldn't tell.
"well what are you doing there, standing here half naked holding my sister's hands?"
"Ummm...i'll leave now." Syaoran bowed respctfully and ran back in his room all red from blushing.
Sakura looked at her brother. "Touya! You didn't have to be so mean, he helped me, kept me from falling!"
"Are you standing up for that gaki!?!" Touya said with hatred.
"GAKI? He's not a GAKI...i mean...Touya why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sakura, you're blushing..."
"huh?" Sakura moved her hand up to her cheeks, she was hot. "It's from running after you! Now, if you don't mind, i have to get changed." And she stromed off.
Syaoran smiled at himself. 'She stood up for me!" "YES!"

Tomoyo tried to catch her breath. "So Sakura, does Touya know now?"
"Know what?"
"That you have a crush on the king's pianist!"
"DAh! I never...Tomoyo...did you hear something?"
"What do you mean?"
Sakura ran over to the balcony and peered down. She gasped. "Tomoyo...the new prince is here..."
