I was thinking of a way to get this fic back on the road for a while now, and I didn't know exactly how to do it. I think this will help a little. I really needed to sort out all my ideas…Sorry for the really late update but I didn't really know how to do this anymore and I was focusing on my other fic… I'll also edit all the chapters. I might change a couple of things.

Memories

"Sakura!" A beautiful woman called out. Her striking silver mane glimmered in the sun, the light she emitted almost the suns.

"Kaa-san!" A young Sakura jumped out of a rose bush to run to her mother. The woman opened her arms and caught her in mid air.

"Why Sakura aren't you happy today!" They both laughed happily hugging each other tenderly. "May I know why you're so excited?" Sakura looked up and nodded cheerfully.

"I saw someone in my dream today and…" She blushed and seemed to hesitate. Nadeshiko smiled to encourage her and get her to continue.

"I saw a wolf! He was so beautiful. He was howling at the moon. He sounded so sad" Nadeshiko's expression changed. She knew it wasn't an ordinary dream.

"And then something weird happened kaa-san…Something really strange, the wolf changed into a boy. I couldn't see his face but his eyes shined in the dark. When I looked into them I felt all goody-goody. Is it how it feels to fall in love kaa-san?" Nadeshiko looked at her daughter surprised. She laughed unreservedly, Sakura looked at her weirdly.

"Why would my 7 year old daughter be thinking about love?" She asked her suspiciously. Sakura fidgeted and looked up at her mother shyly.

"You know this painting in the throne room…"

"The painting of the Li royal family?" She nodded.

"I asked Touya who the boy on the picture was and he laughed at me saying that I was too young to look for a lover…" She explained.

"Oh! Is that so? And can you tell me why you wanted to meet this boy?" Sakura looked away from her mother.

"I never said I wanted to meet him!" She replied nervously.

"What if I told you I could get your father to arrange a visit for us?"

"Really! When?" Sakura jumped on her mother.

"Oh…Why are you so excited? I though you didn't want to meet him."

"Mou! Kaa-san don't tease me too!"

"I'll only help you if you tell me why you want to meet this boy."

"The boy on the picture reminds me of the one in my dream…They have the same eyes…"

"Really? Interesting…" She looked thoughtful for a couple of minutes.

"You know…Sakura-san I'm sure you'll get to meet him someday…" Sakura looked like she was about to cry.

"But…Kaa-san you said you'd take me there…" She whined. Nadeshiko took her on her lap and stoke her hair.

Sakura's POV

"I know Sakura-chan but I don't think I'll be able to keep that promise…But I'm sure that someday, you'll be able to meet your prince." I looked up at my mother and for the first time, I noticed how pale and fragile she looked.

My mother died a couple of weeks after that. I couldn't help but feel at that time that she knew she was going to leave. My mother always told me how someday, like her; I'd meet my prince charming. That he'd sweep me off my feet on his glorious white horse. I didn't know how right she was.

I didn't know this prince was the one in my dreams, the one whose eyes haunted me night and day. The young prince who'd defy and conquer all the countries of the east and who'd come to be know as a legend.
