Sakura woke up the next day with the sunlight just peeking through the windows. She noticed that Tomoyo was still sleeping, so she decided to go on a morning walk until she woke up. Tomoyo had lent Sakura some clothes, seeing as how Sakura had brought none. Sakura put on a plain green knee length dress with a V neck at the top. Sakura opened the front door and gazed out into the beautiful fields.
'It's so beautiful here,' She thought to herself.
Sakura walked slowly down the small gravel path and saw a cluster of woods. This startled her, because she had never seen anything grow so tall. Sakura had brought a small backpack with her and rustled through it to find the Ring and the Dagger she had gotten from her friends.
"How in the world did THESE get here?" She said to herself, looking at them in awe.
'Well, at least I can find out what it is from Tomoyo.'
Sakura stared at the small silver ring, and then put it on her finger. She wasn't sure if that was what you were supposed to do with a ring, but she decided to try it. Sakura looked up again and made her way towards the large forest. When she began to enter the woods, she began to have second thoughts. The forest was beautiful, but right now she had absolutely NO Idea where she had gone to. In every direction was more woods, and beyond that were more trees and woods. Sakura started for a moment at the sound of a loud SWISH from behind her.
Sakura turned around abruptely. Nothing was there.
'Uh oh... This is kind of creepy...' Sakura thought frantically. She was beginning to be frightened. Then, another loud 'Swish!" but this time from the side of her. She turned to face that direction and came face to face with the very man she had seen before...
"What are you doing here?!" The man demanded.
"Uh..Uh...I was.. well, I was walking... and and..." Sakura stuttered.
"You shouldn't be here!" He said louder.
"I'm...I'm Sorry..." Sakura said, scared. But her face suddenly turned to amazement as her eyes lay on the thing he was holding-almost identical to the shiney pointy thing she had received from Rika!
"WOW!" She exclaimed pointing at it.
"What?" He said.
"It's one of those pointy sharp things!" She said.
"Its called a sword....." He said looking annoyed.
"Wow! I have one too, but its short and isn't silver but green," She said, rustling through her bag. She found what she was looking for and pulled it out of her bag.
"See?" She said, showing him the green dagger.
"Hey...." He said, looking at it with interest.
"Isn't it so funny looking?" She said.
"Hey, that's mine!" He said, seizing the dagger.
"Hey, I got it for my birthday!" She said.
"I lost this when I was a boy!" He said.
"What?!" Sakura exclaimed.
"But I dropped it in the middle of the ocean, how did YOU get it?" He asked accusingly.
"Uh... Uh... It Uhh..." Sakura started to say.
"Well I'm taking it back. I got it from my mother as a gift when I was young." He said stubbornly.
"Hey that's not fair, I got it for my birthday!!!" Sakura said looking angry. Sakura, realizing she had probaly lost her shiny pointy "sword" thing forever, gave up and looked down.
The man, looking down ashamed, stared at his dagger.
"Here. You can have it. It's alright. I have other ones." He said kindly.
"Really?" Sakura said smiling at him.
"Uh…Yeah. Now.. Uh… I'm really busy so can you please go?" The man said going back to being annoyed as he handed her the dagger.
"Uh..Sure, By the way I'm Kinomoto Sakura!" She said happily.
"Oh. I'm Li Syaoran." He said, and with that he turned and leapt up into the trees.
"Woah!" Sakura exclaimed. Apparently on the surface people can jump very high. Sakura didn't want to try "jumping" it looked dangerous and hard.
Sakura made her way back to Tomoyo's house that afternoon after her walk looking forward to whatever Tomoyo had planned for that day.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo called out from the door to her room.
"Tomoyo?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes, Come here I have excellent news!" Tomoyo called.
When Sakura came inside the house Tomoyo had prepared a strange meal called "Sandwhiches" For lunch. It was oddly satisfying seeing as how Sakura had never had any sort of meal like that before.
"Sakura, Our family has been invited to the Annual Li Kingdom Ball." Tomoyo explained.
"What's a Li Kingdom Ball?" Sakura questioned.
"It's like a party, except there's dancing and lots of fun things to do, they're always exciting. Who knows? Maybe you'll meet someone!!!" Tomoyo said, winking at that last line.
"Uh…Hehehe…Yeah." Sakura replied looking nervous.
"S-So when is it?" Sakura asked, changing the subject.
"Tomorrow night," Tomoyo answered, taking a bite from her "Sandwich."
"Hm, Sounds fun, I've never been to a 'Ball'". Sakura said smiling.
"Yeah…" Tomoyo replied.
NEXT DAY-EVENING
"KAWAII!!!!!!!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed staring at Sakura's hair. It was done up in a French bun in the back with just some loose hair hanging down as it always had.
"Hehehe…." Sakura said nervously.
"Here! I have the PERFECT Dress for you Sakura!" Tomoyo said. She pulled out a pale pink dress. (A/N With the design of that dress in Beauty and the Beast, except not so puffy)
"Wow!" Sakura said in awe.
"It's.. Beautiful!" Sakura said staring at it.
"You should wear it!" Tomoyo said.
"Wow… I don't know…" Sakura said.
"Oh nonono you have to wear it, it will make you look beautiful!" Tomoyo said.
"Oh well… Alright then." Sakura said.
Sakura came out a few minutes later wearing the silky dress and holding a small handbag.
"Kawaii!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"What about you?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, I have one already!" Tomoyo said. She pulled out a silky looking lavender dress that was long and had a V Neck at the Top.
"Oh my gosh! It'll look so beautiful on you!" Sakura said.
"Heehee…" Tomoyo said, going to change into it.
When Tomoyo came out she was wearing the Lavender dress and had her hair flowing down her back elegantly.
"Tomoyo you're so beautiful!" Sakura said.
"Heehee." Tomoyo said. "Let's go!"
Sakura and Tomoyo made their way towards the gigantic Li Castle on the Seaside down the path from the fields of flowers. Suddenly, a large Brown horse came hurdling towards Sakura and Tomoyo at top speed.
Sakura screamed and grabbed Tomoyo and yanked both of them out of the way of the horse. Then as the Horse passed them, it stopped, as if it didn't know where it was, and trortted off.
"Oh my gosh! Sakura that Horse could have killed you!" Tomoyo said.
"Yeah…." Sakura said staring at it.
'Something weird is going on….' Sakura thought.
"Horses don't usually attack people." Tomoyo said.
After they both got up and gathered themselves, they continued on to the Castle. When they arrived at the door two servants opened the doors as they entered a large marble room with two staircases on either sides. They both walked up the stairs and into a large room with marble floors and a globe shaped roof. There was a skylight so you could see the moon and stars…
"AAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Sakura screamed, which startled Tomoyo.
"What is it Sakura? Are you hurt?" She asked concernedly.
"WHAT ARE THOSE BIG WHITE DOTS???" She said, looking up through the skylight at the stars.
"They're stars…. Sakura, don't you know what stars and moons are?" Tomoyo said.
"No." Sakura said, confused.
"Well their like small sun's. Remember a sun? Except Stars are millions of miles away. They're very mysterious, and the moon is a smaller planet that orbits around us, see?" Tomoyo explained.
"Brilliant!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Hehe… One would think you've been under a rock all your life." Tomoyo laughed.
"Yeah." Sakura said, still staring at the stars.
'Wow, stars are so pretty! And the silvery moon too!' Sakura thought in awe.
Sakura and Tomoyo made their way to a vacant round table with 5 Chairs on the side of the ballroom. They sat down and watched as other people from the Kingdom began to arrive. Soon it was time for the King to make his yearly speech.
"Good Evening citizens of the Li Kingdom," He started as everyone quieted down. "Today is a very special day because it is the 198th anniversary of the Li Family Reign!" The King finished, At this everyone clapped.
Then many servants began to come out and serve out dinner which was….
"Salmon!" Sakura said looking at her plate.
"Yes, it's very rare here." Tomoyo said.
"How could you eat a fish???" Sakura said.
"Well, you have to eat something." Tomoyo said matter-of factly.
"Oh." Sakura said. Some of her friends were salmon, so she wasn't so sure she wanted to eat it. Instead, she went for some yummy looking salads and cake.
"THIS IS SO GOOD!" She exclaimed taking a bite out of some Chocolate Cake.
"Yes, its Cake." Tomoyo said smiling.
"MMM!" Sakura said.
People were starting to get up and dance. There were mostly classical slow songs, much different from music that Sakura had heard in Aquaria. Everyone was Ballroom Dancing and Sakura and Tomoyo were about the only people still sitting down. Suddenly, a handsome boy with blueish hair and crystal blue eyes framed with grey spectacles stopped in front of Tomoyo.
"May I have this dance?" He said to her.
"O-Of course." Tomoyo said, blushing as she got up and he led her to the dance floor.
'I've never danced in my life. I've never had legs before! What happens if someone asks me? Oh, I wont have to worry about that because no one will ask me anyways!' She thought miserabley.
***Syaoran POV***
'Pfft. Another boring ball to try and get me to meet some lady. Jeez, you would have thought father would have given up by now.' Syaoran thought to himself as he grumpily made his way into the ballroom. The Crowd parted to let him pass as soon as they saw his arrival. He walked slowly, taking no heed of all the girls blushing and whispering. He went up to a table with his father and sat down at it.
"Good Evening Father." He said monotonelsly as he sat down.
"Good evening son." His father replied.
"Look at all the nice ladies, why don't you go have a dance with one of them." His father suggested.
"I will not. They're all the same! All flirty girls, who whisper and giggle when they see me, it's so annoying! They constantly follow me! And ask me to dance!" Syaoran Complained.
"Suit yourself." His father said angrily.
Syaoran was looking down grumpily when he suddenly looked up. Across the ballroom, he saw the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
There was a girl sitting there, staring at the dancing people, wearing a beautiful long pink dress. She looked a little uncomftoratable, as if she didn't think it was right to be sitting in the middle of a ball. Without thinking, Syaoran got up and started to walk towards her. He then thought against it, and sat down again.
"Who is that girl???" He thought
SORRY THIS CHAPTER SUCKED ok I'll make it better next, cuz that's when all the cool parts are!!!!!J
