Syaoran's eyes started to flutter open.
"I think he's awake."
"Thank god. He's been unconscious for an entire day."
"You think he can still make it to the ball tonight?"
"That storm was rough. It's a miracle that he was able to pull through. If he's not up for the ball tonight, let's just forget it."
Syaoran opened his eyes and look around him. The first voice belonged to Wei, his most trusted guard. The next voice was Eriol's. Mei Lin was the one who asked about the ball, and the last voice was his mother's.
"What happened?" he asked, trying to get up.
"Lie down. You're still weak," his mother ordered, her voice gentle but firm.
"You were caught in a storm. Everyone was waiting for you to come back last night, but you never did. Thankfully, Princess Tomoyo found you," Eriol explained.
"Do you think you can still make it to the ball tonight?" Queen Yelan asked, her eyes worried.
"I think so. You've invited everyone, you just can't ask them to go back like that," Syaoran answered, his voice still weak.
"Ok, if you're really sure," Wei bowed and left the room.
Syaoran's eyes started to close again. His mind was a midst of confusion of the events that happened the day before.
But why was a pair of emerald eyes so clear on his mind?
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Sakura sat on a shell, daydreaming. 'Li Syaoran,' that name kept repeating in her mind.
She suddenly wanted to explore the shores up above. She wanted to know what it was like to walk, instead of flipping her fins.
"Princess Sakura! Princess Sakura!" Sabastian came hurrying up to her, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Hey, Sabastian," Sakura smiled.
"The king is furious. He found that the pearl of life is stolen and thinks that Pamela took it," the crab gasped.
"What?! Sister Pamela may be mischievous and like to hide things, but she would never take the pearl of life. Dad should know that," Sakura said frantically.
"Shouldn't you tell him that you took it?" Sabastian asked.
"Dad would kill me. You know I told you why I needed the pearl. It was importat. And daddy hates those beings up on the shore. He says that they hunt us down and pollute the water with chemicals," Sakura toned down her voice as her brother, Touya sawm past.
"But poor Pamela is held up in the pink coral tower now. Dad said that she wasn't to be let out until she admit her mistake and tell him where the pearl of life is," Samastian whispered urgently.
"It was for a good cause.The prince was so handsome! His eyes... they were like pools of chocolate. His hair... chestnut colour, a bit ruffled...," Sakura sighed and stared into space.
"Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no!" Sabastian started pacing around.
"What? What's wrong?" Sakura asked, looking around her, thinking that her father was approaching.
"You're_in_love. With a human being," Sabastian was talking as though nothing could be worse than that.
"Am I?" Sakura seemed more like she was talking to herself than to Sabastian.
"Look at you! All girly, and giddy with love. YOU EVEN TOOK THE PEARL FOR THE PRINCE!!!" Sabastian said frantically as though that explains everything.
"So, that's what love's like," Sakura smiled to herself.
"This is not happening. The king would kill me if he found that that I didn't keep an eye on you," Sabastian started muttering to himself as he waslked away.
Sakura did not notice him going away. She was lost dreaming about the prince again. The prince named Li Syaoran.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Sabastian! Sabastian!" King Fujitaka called out.
Sabastian gave a jump and whirled around. "Ye... yes, King?" he stammered.
"Give Pamela her lunch. I'm not letting her out to eat," the King ordered.
"But it isn't Pamela's fault. It's that stupid pr---," Sabastian stopped abruptly.
"What did you say? Is there something you know that I don't?" the king said sternly. His normal gentle and kind voice was replaced by one that Sabastian had never heard before.
"Nothing, nothing. I'll uh... go give Pamela her lunch now," he said and started to scurry away.
The king caught hold of his tail and pulled him up. "Who_took_the _pearl?" he was emphasising on each word very slowly.
"I know nothing. Yep, nothing about Princess Sakura and that prince and that the princess is falling in love and---,"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" King Fujitaka boomed.
"Oh, my king! Princess Sakura used the pearl to save a human prince. Now, she's falling in love with him," Sabastian cried out.
"Guards! Get the princess here, NOW!" the king demanded.
"Sabastian, thanks for telling me this. Now, get Pamela out for me. Tell her I apologise for treating her that way. After all, she's only five...," the king seemed worn out.
"Oh, god! Sakura's going to be real mad at me... real, real mad," Sabastian thought worriedly.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Yes, father?" Sakura asked as the guards swam away.
"Why did you take the pearl?" the king asked, his voice unusually quiet.
"The... the pearl?" Sakura stammered.
"You gave it to a human prince, didn't you? When I specifically told you that I detest and loathe those beings up there."
"I'm... I'm sorry father. But he was dying. And this was the only thing that---,"
"Get out of my sight!"
"But father---"
"I said, 'Get out!'"
"Father---,"
"GET OUT!"
Sakura was shocked. The only time where her father ever spoke like that was to his sister, Ostala. That was when their mom had did and Ostala wanted to take over the ocean.
How could her dad do this? Why didn't he understand?
Sakura sobbed. Slowly, she swam to the only person that could help her.
Ostala.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
What would happen next? How can the evil Ostatla help her? You won't know until you review and find out in the next chappie! So review, pplz! And tell me what ya think.
