"We suggest you let them go," said one.
"Immediately, or the aftermath won't be pretty," said the other.

"And might you be?" Richard asked releasing Sakura.
"Who are you to order us around?" Matthew demanded as he let go of Tomoyo.
"Well, do you really want to find out?" Said a voice stepping out of the shadows. The one who had the second voice followed as Matthew and Richard charged at them. The two just stood there waiting, and punched them in the face once, giving off a knockout. Sakura and Tomoyo gasped looking at the two men before them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," a man that was tall, cute messy blonde hair and pale green eyes smiled bowing before Sakura. For once in her life, Sakura seemed at a loss for words.
"We'd be happy to save you anytime fair maiden," the other said. He too was tall and had light brown hair with hazel eyes. They were both well built and tanned. Tomoyo was in the same phase as Sakura. They were just staring at the other taking in each other's looks when a sound snapped them out of their reverie.
*Ahem* Syaoran cleared his throat and stood expectantly along with Eriol. Sakura raised an eyebrow towards them as Tomoyo folded her arms.
"May we help you?" Tomoyo's clear voice rang out.
"Actually yes. Who the hell are they?" Eriol asked calmly.
"They are true men who can actually help a woman who is need," Sakura said glaring at Syaoran. The two guys sweat dropped thinking this would take a while.
"Why do you think we came here?!" Syaoran asked bewildered. Sakura and Tomoyo merely shrugged and turned back to the other two while Eriol and Syaoran fell down anime style.
"I'm sorry, we didn't catch your names," Sakura said smiling innocently.
"Oh, I'm Cheung Tristan and this is a good friend of mine, Phan Gavin," the one with green eyes introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Daidouji Tomoyo and this is my best friend and cousin Kinomoto Sakura," Tomoyo said smiling.
"Would you two lovely ladies like to accompany us back to the ballroom," Gavin asked smiling.
"We would be delighted," Sakura said taking Tristan's arm as Tomoyo took Gavin's and the four walked in leaving two rather angered princes behind.
"Why can't they be so nice to us?" Syaoran asked.
"I don't know really. But looks like we're getting out of this engagement a lot easier than we thought," Eriol said with what sounded a lot like reluctance.
"I know," Syaoran said as he shook his head and the two walked in the ballroom.
~*Ballroom*~
"Sakura, I have a bad feeling about something. I'm not sure about it though," Tomoyo whispered to her friend as they finished dancing with the two knights, oblivious to the eyes that were watching their every move.
"I don't know. I'm just not too sure," Sakura whispered back.
"Princess would you like to dance with me," a husky voice asked. Sakura turned around to see who it was and it appeared to be none other than one of her past suitors.
"I'm quite busy at the moment Chang. Maybe later," Sakura replied curtly before turning back to Tomoyo. He then grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her towards him.
"Well, it appears you don't have much of a choice," Chang said gripping her wrist tightly while smirking. Sakura got out of his grasp but he got a hold of her hand once again.
"Hey buddy. Let go of my fiancé before I have to hurt you," Syaoran said as he walked over got up in Chang's face. Chang took a look at Syaoran and threw Sakura's wrist down who massaged it. At that moment, Tomoyo got an idea with a glint in her eye.
"Are you alright Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked, his eyes softening to take a look at her wrist.
"I do not need your help Li. I can manage things on my own thank you," Sakura said coldly before turning on her heel and began walking away walking away with Tomoyo trailing behind her. Syaoran gently took her wrist and went close to her face but barely missed her lips and went to her ear.
"I'm just helping a woman in need," he whispered to her before releasing her hand and walking slowly away to blend in with crowd as Sakura was stunned for a moment and then huffed.
'How could I have not noticed this before?!' Tomoyo exclaimed thoughtfully to herself.
"Sakura-chan, that was rather mean," Tomoyo said pouting.
"I don't need his help though! Who does he think he is? And saying that to me! ARGH!" Sakura rambled.
"Your fiancé," Tomoyo mumbled under her breath. Tomoyo stole a peek at Syaoran who was looking at Sakura from across the room and quickly looked away shaking his head blushing furiously seeing he was caught. Tomoyo merely smirked knowing this would make her job ten times easier.
"Attention everyone! We would like to call your attention for a moment please," Fujitaka said loudly at the front. Silence was hushed upon the crowd.
"Sakura, are we going to choose Tristan and Gavin to be our fiancés?" Tomoyo asked Sakura quietly.
"No. There's something about them. And I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of them either way," Sakura whispered back as they turned their attention back to the front.
"We would now like to announce the engagements, unless there are any objections," Yelan said pausing, and then smiling in satisfaction when there was nothing but silence in response. "Then we would like to announce the engagement of Princess Sakura Kinomoto and Prince Syaoran Li as well as Princess Tomoyo Daidouji and Prince Eriol Hiiragizawa!" The crowd erupted into clapping and cheers as the four made their way to the front.
"Why didn't you say anything about our engagement?" Eriol asked Tomoyo quietly.
"We have our reasons, and those reasons are of none of your concern," Tomoyo replied in the same even tone.
"It is of my concern because now we're going to get married," Eriol said turning to her.
"Not if I can help it," Tomoyo said grinning. Everyone else took it as love, well everyone except Sakura, Syaoran and their families.
"We'll see about that plumb blossom," Eriol whispered in her ear. Tomoyo quickly elbowed him.
"Do not call me that," Tomoyo demanded through clenched teeth.
"But why not my dear plumb blossom?" Eriol teased.
"Daidouji is fine. Otherwise, don't address me," Tomoyo said looking him in the eyes before walking away.
