And so, I've decided to start a new fic... *sighs* It's annoying how I always seem to come up with new fic ideas, and never seems to finish my old fics. *smiles* Anyways, This fic is based on 'The Little Mermaid.
Disclaimer: The storyline belongs to the creator of 'The Little Mermaid' and CCS belongs to CLAMP. I own neither. But any additional details and characters belong to me. So don't sue!

She flipped her fins, twirling and gliding along gracefully. She picked up a pearly- white shell. Her emerald eyes roamed around, searching for rare things. Things that were related to those beings that walk above the shore. Her eyes brightened as she saw something sparkling in the middle of some corals. She dived down, knocking a few people out of her way.
"Watch out, princess!"
"Hey, look where you're going!"
She picked up the golden coin, and added it to her bag, together with several hair pins, some paper clips and what seems like a pen, or so that was what Sabastian told her.
"Princess! Princess! You've got to go back to the palace. A storm's coming and the King ordered me to bring you back," a crab came hurrying over to her, tripping over something on the way.
Sakura swimmed over and picked up the crab. "You go first, I'll be right over," she smiled.
"But- but...,"
"No buts," Sakura shook her head and gently hoisted Sabastian upwards. Tell daddy I'll be right over," she called out as she swam away.
Sakura swam over to a small cave, where she kept her little treasures. Satisfied that her things were hidden, she went out. It was then did she see a shadow just on the surface of the ocean. 'That must be what father called a ship,' she thought excitedly. She had never seen a ship before, and from what she heard from her father, she had guessed that the thing floating on the surface was probably one.
Sakura swam up, careful to keep herself hidden from the people on board.
Just then, lightning flashed and thunder boomed. The waves started crashing against the ship. She could hear screams and yellings from the people on board.
She could tell that it wasn't going to be easy for the people to get back on shore.
"Quick! Turn back!"
Sakura turned around to see a man standing at the edge of the ship. He had amber eyes, and chestnut hair.
"Yes, Prince Li!"
'So, that was the prince,' Sakura thought to herself. Her emerald eyes turned worried as she saw a massive wave heading towards the ship. 'God! If the wave hits the ship, it'll tilt and the prince will plunge into the ocean!' she panicked.
Just then, the wave hit the ship, tossing it around.
"AAHHH!" the prince screamed as he fell off and into the water. Sakura looked around on the ship. Everyone was busy regaining their balance to notice that the prince was gone. She glanced around once more, and making sure that no one had noticed, she dived into the water to where she had last seen the prince.
"Where IS he?" Sakura thought out loud as she swam around, looking for him. Then, she spotted the prince, in the midst of some corals. He was unconscious.
Sakura plunged down. Using as much strength as she could muster, she tried to lift him up.
'C'mon! Almost there!' she thought desperately as she pushed herself to swim faster.
Sakura had to fight against the waves and the currents which were pushing her back. The added weight of a human body was not good for her either.
She struggled, flipping her fins, and with all the strength she could muster, gave one last push and boost both of them onto the sand.
Sakura looked at the body. There was a way she could revive him, but she'll have to leave the body. She dived back into the ocean and searched around for the pearl. It was locked inside her father's room. She hoped her father still had the key inside one of the shells.
Sakura gave a sigh of relief as she spotted a shining silver key. She quickly opened the box and groped around for the pearl.
"Princess! What are you doing?"
Sakura whirled around to see Sabastian looking shocked behind her.
"No time to explain!" she gasped as she swam back to shore.
"Here, eat this," Sakura slipped the pearl into the prince's mouth. She waited, hoping that the pearl would work.
The prince's eyes started opening. Sakura peered at him. 'He's fine,' she thought, relieved.
"Princess! Where are you?" she could hear the other mermaids' voices. Sakura needed to get back. She started to turn when she heard the prince behind her.
"Wait! Who are you? You saved my life!"
Sakura just smiled.
"I'm Li Syaoran. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" Syaoran asked desperately.
"Close your eyes, you'll be fine," Sakura whispered as she swam back into the ocean.
"Wait...," Syaoran called out. But he was too tired. All he remered were those beautiful emerald eyes before he fainted.
