Thanks for the reviews. And for the grammar and the tenses, I'll try to fix it up. Well, I have nothing to say anymore. Go on the story!

The North and The South
Chapter 4, Princess in Disguise
"Perfect! No one will able to recognize you now. Not even your own cousin" said Sakura with a big smile while examining Tomoyo in her disguise.
"Really?", said Tomoyo unconvinced, "I think it's a mess.". She examined her reflection on the mirror, she is wearing a dirty shirt and a pair of stained jeans. Her hair is not in its usual style. It is braided, making a messy ponytail.
"If it's not messy, you will be able to recognized by others.", said Sakura.
Tomoyo winced, "But you don't have to make me this messy, Sakura. Uh…look at this dirty shirt!"
Sakura just giggled, watching her cousin's reaction, "Just bear with it, Tomoyo. The faster you make a move, the faster it'll be end."
"Oh, shoot this sun! Why does it have to shine this hot today! Why don't the Gods make it cloudy!", cursed Tomoyo. She is now in her way to The South and Sakura has forbid her to use her magic because she is afraid that The South's guard might notice her.
"Excuse me, miss, what are you doing here", said a big man with an army clothes, "do you know that this is the border of The South and The North?"
"Yes, sir. If you don't mind, may I pass?", answered Tomoyo timidly.
"Fred! Check her!", ordered the man.
A man called Fred quickly check Tomoyo. He checks her bag and find some bottles with liquid inside it.
"What are they?", asked Fred. "Oh, only perfumes that made by my mother. I come here to sell them.", answered Tomoyo.
"Are you Norths?", asked Fred again. "No," lied Tomoyo, " I live with my mother in a small hut on Fairy Forest. That forest is the east border of The South and The North. Not many live there, just four families approximately."
"I see", said Fred. So you have had a long journey eh? You are so dirty."
"Yes, it's a long journey. I'm feel a bit tired.", replied smiling Tomoyo.
Fred quickly reports it to his boss. "Okay then, miss. You may pass.", the army clothes man told Tomoyo.
"So much thank you, Sir", Tomoyo happily walk trough the barrier. She never thinks it will be so easy to pass The South's guard. 'Even the stupidest guard in The North is still cleverer than them!', she thought.
Tomoyo walks and walks until she reaches an inn and decides to stay there since it's already dark. So she go inside the inn and check in. Luckily, she brought some money so she can rent a suitable room for that night. Right after she gets in into her room, she quickly takes a bath, twice. Then she decides to sleep earlier because the walk she had today is tiring her.
The End of Chapter 4
Not too long, I see. Still I can't make it more than a thousand words a chapter *sigh* . Thanx for reading and please review after you read this fic. I will highly appreciate it. Sorry for all the wrong grammar and tenses. Tha-Tha
