read and review! Enjoy this chap!
Chapter 2: Young Days
-10 years have passed since the young princess's birth-
"Sakura!!! Lessons are starting in 10 minutes time and you are still lazing in bed?!?! Hayaku hayaku! Get dressed and changed for breakfast!" Tomoyo dragged the still-dazed Sakura out of bed and hurried her into the bathroom. Sakura glanced at the clock in the bathroom "8:25am.. its still so early! Tomoyo..." Glances at the clock again and tries the digest the display on it. "Hoeeee! Its already so late!!! I'm going to get another lecture from the obasan teaching us again! My gosh, why do I have that bad habit of getting up so late?!?!" Sakura blabbers on whilst Tomoyo giggles at the commotion in the bedroom.
Sakura slammed the batheroom door open and dashed out of her room grabbing her star locket and Tomoyo's hand – making a dash towards the classroom that was in the West Wing of the palace. Midst way, bumping into Touya and Yukito on their way to breakast. "Kaijju, you're late again aren't you? My my, what a bad sense of timing you have there. You've less than 5 minutes to get breakfast followed by Umino Sensei's class. Bet that you'll get hell from her. Haha! I can imagine the rage you'll receive from otou-san upon receiving this news." Touya chuckled with a devlish grin. "Oh and okaa-san will not pardon nor help you this time round considering the number of times you were late this month."
"I'M NOT A KAIJJU!! And thanks for that little reminder, it has certainly made my day onii-chan!" and she stomped on his feet before running off towards the dining hall with Tomoyo behind. Yukito laughed and slapped Touya's head lightly "you love being so mean to Sakura don't you?."
Touya grinned and replied "I can't help it, it's a natural instinct in me to spoil her day plus, it's impossible for me to forsake a chance to tease her. It'll be just another 6 more years of fun with her before she gets married off to that Li gaki."
"Hai hai I understand what you mean. It's just your way of communicating with Sakura right? You really do love your kajju but just don't know how to express it well I suppose. There's nothing wrong with Syaoran, he's well practiced in martial arts and magic, he comes from a respectable family and he is well-mannered." Yukito reminded.
"I just don't like that gaki being so close to my kaijju," Touya replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Ohayo King Fujitaka. Queen Nadeshiko and aunty Yelen" Tomoyo greeted them with a little curtsy.
"Ohayo otou-san, okaa-san! Ah, aunty Yelen you're here too! Ohayo Gomen! I'm late again. Hehe." Rushing to put a peck on both her parents' cheeks before grabbing her sandwich, dashing towards the classroom for magic.
"My, how I envy you Nadaeshiko, Sakura's blossomed into such a sweet little girl" Yelen said smiling towards the queen.
King Fujitaka chuckled and said. "I've heard Syaoran's been training since young in magic and martial arts. He's joining them for lessons from today onwards right? It'll be good to have more company for Sakura." Yelen nodded in acknowledgement.
Yelen said in a serious tone, "Syaoran will protect Sakura from henceforth, he'll make sure that no misfortunes ever happens to the princess. They have the abilities to break the prophecy together I believe."
The queen placed her hands over Yelen, "we have complete faith in him and your family." And smiled.
Meanwhile in the classroom, Sakura and Tomoyo managed to rush there seconds before lessons formally started. "Phew.. made it just in time. Sorry for the early morning rush to lessons Tomoyo, I'll try to wake up even earlier in future" Sakura grinned and heaved with a sigh of relief.
"Hmmm. There are 2 boys around my age seated in the classroom too. Yay! More company during lessons instead of just Tomoyo and me. I wonder who they are..." Sakura allowed her thoughts to drift further...
"Princess! Earth to princess! Stop daydreaming already. I've 2 young lads to introduce to you today, they'll be joining you and Tomoyo for lessons from now on. This is Li Syaoran and Eriol Hiiragizwa, be nice and show them around the palace after lessons ok?"
Sakura looked towards the boy with the chocolate coloured hair with strong yet straight facial expression, amber eyes that attracted her deeply, their eyes were locked together for a moment. Sakura's face slowly started feeling flushed and she could feel her face turning redder by the moment.
"Kawaii!! Sakura is already attracted to Li-kun, ne?" Tomoyo gushes. Sakura was promptly brought back to reality with Tomoyo's gushings, her face 10 shades of red.
Eriol pulled up his chair and asked if he could be seated with Tomoyo. She looked up and was mesmerized by those intelligent midnight blue eyes of him. His face held a gentle expression and was covered with a flop of dark blue hair, which almost seems like black. Just then, Sakura nudged Tomoyo, "you're staring!" with that, Tomoyo blushed and turned to Eriol, "Gomen ne Hiiragizawa-kun, for staring, I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, Cousin and best friend to our dear Princess Sakura here. How bout you and your friend there?"
"Hiiragizawa is quite a handful ne? Just call me Eriol. I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa, cousin and best friend to the next leader of the Li clan, Li Syaoran."
After introducing, Eriol pulled Tomoyo aside, "I can tell that my best friend is attracted to our dear princess, how bout your side?"
"Sakura goes to her la-la- land just by looking at Li-kun. It'll be perfect!! Lets match make them together!!" Tomoyo enthuses with stars in her eyes.
"We shall talk another time, sensei's glaring at us already!"
Umino sensei tapped her pointer on the table and started with a stern look directed towards the dazed princess. "Princess, you had better pay attention, today's lesson will be of great importance to you in the future. Syaoran you will take the empty seat beside Sakura. Now everybody look at the board and pay attention to what I am writing..."
"Li-kun would you join us for lunch? It's such a wonderful weather outside in the gardens. We could have a mini picnic you know!" Sakura said, pointing towards the scene outside the window. "Me and Tomoyo would like to know you and Hiiragizawa-kun better, we can show you guys around the castles at the same time. Please?"
Syaoran soon found out that he could not refuse any thing that Sakura says as long as she directed her beautiful emerald eyes upon him; he cannot stand the sight of her face being sad or disappointed. A disgruntled "Fine" sounded from him. Upon hearing his reply, the princess looked towards him with a big smile on her face.
That smile took his breath away.
outside in the garden....
The cool breeze blew gently in the palace gardens; just-opened sweet smelling sakura flowers filled the air. Sakura seemed very excited about her two newfound friends.
"Ne Li-kun.." Sakura looked towards him whilst open her bento lunchbox, "I was wondering.. Why are you and Hiiragizawa-kun having lessons with us? Its weird but I'm glad it's not just me and Tomoyo in lessons now."
Syaoran started fidgeting whilst walking, "uh.... Mother said that we are assigned with a task that will be made known to us in time to come. But before that day, we'll accompany you and Daidouji-san for lessons in the palace." "I see, since today is such a beautiful day, why don't we have our lunch out here? Under the Sakura tree that Tomoyo and Eriol-kun are under? I'll go to the kitchens to tell the chef to prepare a picnic lunch instead!!"
