Princess Sakura looked out the window of the majestic castle she lived in. It was winter, a white winter to be exact in Japan, and it was quite freezing.
Sakura shivered.
A breeze went by and her hair, which was held up by a clip, fell down in locks and blew to the right in gentle waves. Her emerald eyes were captivating and could leave one breathless. In short, the princess of Japan was beautiful. It was to be expected, for her mother was Queen Nadeshiko, though she had died when Sakura was a wee girl. It was now just Princess Sakura, Prince Touya, and her father. Fujitaka.
Tomoyo, a princess from a nearby province, came in to Sakura's room. She looked at Sakura and thought sadly ' soon.....'
Sakura looked up from her dreamy state and looked at her best friend, correction, about the only friend she had. Touya, being the overprotective brother, allowed no man to come within 50 yards of his little sister, and his glares scared away the men... but also scared away the women as well.
"what is it?" she said in a soft alluring voice.
Tomoyo smiled. "Nothing... nothing at all"
Chisa came in. She was the main maid for Sakura. The old woman looked at sakura with a smile. "Your father wishes to speak to you"
Sakura sighed softly. "Probably the same old lecture about marrying me off to some man 4 times me age"
Tomoyo laughed.
Sakura got up from the windowsill that looked down towards the villages. Though poverty-stricken, the villages looked more and more appealing to Sakura by the day, and she was often seen looking down towards the villages.
She walked daintily towards the door, a slow process, for that required her to walk in tiny steps.
Chisa finally could not hold in her breath and laughed aloud, Tomoyo joining shortly afterward.
Sakura had tripped, despite the slow and tedious steps.
She quickly stood up and unlady-like yelled.
Then she returned to the soft voice and said, "Excuse me..."
Giving both Chisa and Tomoyo a look before she left the room quietly, the maid and the princess knew that was her way of a scowl.
Tomoyo chuckled. "So lady-like... so this is what Fujitaka has done to his beautiful daughter."
Chisa looked sadly at Sakura's retreating figure, and said "I'm going to miss her once she is married off to some worthless man..." she looked thoughtfully out the open window as a leave blew across the landscape "who is probably going to be twice her age."
Tomoyo laughed and looked out too, wondering what could be out there that could fascinate Sakura that much to have her look out that window with a look Tomoyo could not even start to describe.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura entered the large chambers of her fathers throne room and stepped carefully across the velvety rugs, careful now to repeat her mistake.
King Fujitaka heard footsteps and looked up, smiling while he eyed his 18- year-old daughter. 'This is gone far to long...' he though as he saw his fully blossomed daughter walking toward him with confidant steps. 'She has evaded the topic of marriage too long...."
He coughed and stood up. Sakura immediately curtsied and stared at her father's strict yet kind eyes.
"You know why I have called for you" he said slowly, letting the words sink in to that stubborn girl's mind. "You are 18 and without a husband," he clucked," unheard of."
Sakura looked up with calm eyes and said, "I don't have one... because you insist on marrying me off to a man OLD enough that could certainly be mistaken as my father instead of husband."
King Fujitaka laughed at her impertinence and said, "Yes...I believe I have tried that numerous times... without success may I add" there was a twinkle in his eye, before he abruptly said "but now is the time to act."
He looked at his daughter seriously. "I have finally found the perfect suitor. His family is titled and rich, they are kind yet strict, and I am sure they will not harm you in any way, not to mention protect you once you take up their family name."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but her father interrupted.
"Don't worry... he isn't 4 times your age. In fact.. He is only a year older."
Sakura frowned, staring at the ground instead of the King's face.
She then forced her head up and smiled. "Alright father..."
She turned to leave and the King sighed yet looked at his daughter suspiciously. She had given in too easily... much too easily.
He called out to her. "And by the way... they are coming tomorrow morning to greet you."
She nodded and backed out of the room. She started taking dainty steps again towards her room, before saying 'screw it' in her mind, slipping her glass shoes off, and running in the most unlady like fashion, back into the safety of her room, where she was free to rage.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo gasped at Sakura, the King had finally found a man suited for his fine daughter!
"But that's wonderful!" she squealed," aren't you happy?!"
Sakura was looking out the window towards the sunset and the distant mountains.
She smiled; it was almost a sad smile. "Yes, your right."
She once and came off the windowsill and smiled at Tomoyo, who was looking her confused, "I'm feeling quite faint...do you mind...?"
"OH! Not at all, I am sorry Sakura." Tomoyo plastered on a fake smile, and left the room noiselessly, thinking 'something is going on....'
~*~*~*~*~*~
It was early morning. The usually bird chirps rang in the chill morning air and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The villager had long before had woken up already and had started the chored. The morning seemed exceptionally bright and sweet, a rose in full bloom, until an ear- splitting scream was heard. A thorn.
Prince Touya, upon hearing the unearthly yell, gracefully fell off his bed. Or correction, he landed on the ground with a sound that could almost equal the scream.
Jumping up, his heart hammering, he raced for Sakura's room, sure that a man had snuck in and trying to take advantage of his poor sister, who was generously given the most perfect looks on a woman, any man could ask for.
Closing his eyes dramatically, he swung the door open with his left hand and entered the room pompously, yelling "OFF WITH THE HANDS YOU SCALLAWAG!!!"
Hearing no snide or rude remark being thrown from the perverted man, and much more surprisingly, Sakura, he opened his eyes and peeked.
Chisa was standing there with almost an amused eye, yet something in them was frightened.
Touya looked around in confusiong "where is Sakura?"
Chisa, with a trembling hand "handed him a notepad, with scrawled words saying "Im sorry..."
"IM SORRY?!!?!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo woke and went out of the guest room where she had been staying. Hearing the thuds of footsteps everywhere, and hearing the contant calls of "sakura!", she groggily went to the door and was almost blows across the room from the yelling of the man in front of her.
"WOULD YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHY SHE WOULD DO THIS?!" Touya yelled, froth spraying from his lips.
Tomoyo looked wearily at Touya and said, "She ran away didn't she?"
Touya looked at her and asked, "Did you know-"
She shook her head, her luxurious raven hair shimmering.
"Drats!!!" Touya yelled, running out the room.
Tomoyo looked more amused, than worried though. She knew Sakura could most likely, take care of herself. After all, she wasn't trained by Wei, the Chinese martial arts teacher for nothing!
~*~*~*~*~*~ King Fujitaka sighed. It wasn't the first time Sakura had run away. He didn't seem worried much, just like Tomoyo. Princess Sakura knew how to protect herself. The problem was finding where she decided to hide herself this time.
Horns bellowed outside. The guests had arrived.
A beautiful carriage rode across the concrete bridge and entered the stronghold castle. 6 stallions pulled the carriage, all of a snowy white color. The carriage itself was adorned with gold trims, stating the wealth of the passengers inside. Though tightly sealed, yelling could be heard in the carriage.
"I refuse! I have never met this girl!" a boy yelled from inside.
A calm voice rose against his. "You have avoided marriage for a long time now. Sakura, the Japanese princess, is renowned for her beauty and kindness. You will marry her my son."
King Fujitaka heard these words and decided now was the right time to interrupt. He stated loudly and clearly "Welcome, the Li family."
A woman, holding her head high and proudly, and rightly so, opened the velvet curtains and stepped down. Yelan, the Queen of China, bowed before King fujitaka. Fujitaka nearly sputtered and with large hand gestures, motioned Queen Yelen up quickly.
"It is a pleasure to meet you" she said respectfully. Behind her, 4 laughing girls, all married, came tumbling out of the carriage and a boy of 19 right behind them. His eyes wandered towards the high towers of the majestic castle and rested on King Fujitaka, who in turn looked at him as well.
Everyone stared at the two, wondering what was happening, when the boy bowed low.
King Fujitaka did the same and said, "Welcome, the chosen one."
"Please," the boy said politely," you may call me Xiao Lang."

whoa. I really have no CLUE how im going to continue this story. I just felt like writing a corny princess prince fanfic. I like these kind of stories. I read other peoples, and go "shoot.

But prince CHAR was yummy. That was good. ;]
if anyone has good ideas how I should continue, I am open to suggestions. I have a very vague rough draft in my mind, and It isn't "juicy" enough. Or at least for me. Ah well, ill see how things go.
Thank you for reading this. I wont ask you for reviews, since it make me sound like a conceited PIG. I hate that. Hahahaha. But they would be nice. A bonus yeh? :]
