I am sooooooooooo sorry for the extremely late update!!!!!! I had a lot of schoolwork to do, with only, like, three or two times a week that I could go on the Internet. And my Grandpa recently passed away so I had to cope with that. So I apologize again. For this chapter only Flames are welcomed for my absolutely bad update timing.

One goood thing is that on Nov. 24th was my B-day, so I decided to update. Whoot whoott!! Plus I got some great manga as presents and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for my b-day!!! Lovin it!!! XD

(NOTE: THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE UPDATED ON NOV.24TH, BUT WOULDN'T LET ME BECAUSE OF A BUG!! GOMEN NASAI!)

OMG!!!!!! Sniffles I can't that this story got nineteen reviews with only two chappies!!!! I never knew people liked this believe story so much!!!!!

Hey… one thing. Are Authors actually not allowed to give out shout-outs anymore? I don't know all the current news. Please tell me in your reviews or email me. I had a whole reviewer shout out thing all perfected! LOL.

Note: I made a tiny mistake on last chappie. As I said to one reviewer, the King did not want to tell Sakura that she was a princess because things would get complicated, but I actually meant that the King did not want to tell Sakura because word would probably get out, and then the King of the Li Clan would find out and attack the Rae Clan's land. And, just as an added precaution, the King decided Meiling would marry Syaoran so that there would be terms of agreement and stuff. Sorry if this made you more confused. If it does, just forget about it.

Okay, people, let's get this show on the road!!

Someone Like You

Chapter Three: A Cherry Blossom Day Part I

By: Starfire Star (lilkawaiigurl88 on )

(Narrator's POV)

"Xiao Lang! Time to get ready for your meeting with Meiling!" Yelan knocked on Syaoran's bedroom door.

"Hai, hai, I know," Syaoran groaned. He got up and went to look in his bureau for a "clean" yukata he could wear.

"Fix your hair!" Yelan told Syaoran as he left his room, in a dark blue and black formal yukata. "I'm sorry, Syaoran. But you'll have to walk. All our carriages are in the repair shop, but we'll have them back soon. You don't mind, do you?"

Syaoran smoothed his hair with his hand.

"Whatever," Syaoran said. "I don't care."

"Hey, what's up?" Eriol greeted Syaoran at the castle entrance.

"Same old, same old," Syaoran said as he and Eriol began walking, approaching the town.

"Hehe, I can visit my cousin, Kaho, at the castle. I haven't seen her in a long time," Eriol mentioned.

"Kaho… Kaho Mizuki? Isn't she that smart lady who works for the Queen of the Rae Clan?" Syaoran asked.

"Yeah… she's going out with Touya… something. He's a soldier at the castle, I think," Eriol said thoughtfully.

"Hmm… Eriol, have you ever considered dating?" Syaoran teased.

"Well… I am looking. But there aren't many nice girls in our Clan, you know?" Eriol said.

Syaoran smirked.

"The girls in our Clan are not good enough for you, Eriol?" Syaoran asked.

"Those girls are never serious. They're crazy for you," Eriol answered.

"Well, duh. I'm better-looking than you," Syaoran teased.

"They're going to be disappointed when they find out that you're engaged! And even more angry when they find out you're getting married to some spoiled crybaby!" Eriol laughed.

"Good. Now my room won't be filled with mail from them," Syaoran said.

"Heh."

"Tomoyo-chan! We shouldn't do this!" Sakura said urgently as Tomoyo opened Meiling's trunk and bureau.

"Oh my god! Sakura-chan, look! This is the dress I made for Meiling, and the pale pink yukata I made her last year with the matching barrettes!" Tomoyo exclaimed, holding them up.

"They're beautiful," Sakura said softly. "But Tomoyo-chan, we aren't supposed to be here. Think of the punishments we'll have if Wei finds us and tells the King and Queen!"

"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. We're just looking. And besides, Wei won't notice us. And if he does find us and asks us why we're here, we'll just say we're tiding up Meiling's room for when she comes back."

"Tomoyo-chan, I have a bad feeling about this," Sakura said nervously.

"Oh, Sakura-chan. You worry too much," Tomoyo said as she gave Sakura the pale pink yukata.

"It looks beautiful on you!" Tomoyo exclaimed as Sakura held it up in front of her, admiring the cherry blossom print.

"Wow… I wish I had a yukata like this," Sakura said, tracing the print with her fingers.

"Well… come on, Sakura! Try it on!" Tomoyo said eagerly. "You'd look great in it, and besides, you're Meiling's size!

"But… oh, fine," Sakura said. Tomoyo went out of the room to let Sakura change.

"I'm done," Sakura called to Tomoyo. Tomoyo went back inside the room.

"Oh, Sakura," Tomoyo breathed. "You look wonderful! It fits you perfectly!"

Sakura looked wonderful in the pale pink yukata with the cherry blossom print running down the side. It fit her perfectly, and she wore the pale pink barrettes with the silk on them.

"I have to admit, it looks good," Sakura said, looking at herself in the mirror as Tomoyo sat on Meiling's bed.

"But… I… I'm going to go and change now," Sakura said.

"Sure—" Tomoyo was about to say something else when they heard footsteps going their direction coming from the hall.

"Oh, damn," Tomoyo said as Sakura looked around frantically, not knowing what to do.

"Come on, Sakura-chan. We have no time! We just have to escape through the back castle doors. No one ever guards those!" Tomoyo said as she grabbed the hand of Sakura, who was still dressed in the yukata.

"Hooeeeeeee!!" Sakura squealed.

"Sa (Come on)!" Tomoyo and Sakura dashed out the bedroom door as the footsteps became louder.

Sakura and Tomoyo flew down the spiral staircase and went out to the back gate, where the sort-of backyard was, with Meiling's white swing set was, and a gigantic Cherry Blossom tree. (A/N: Let's just pretend that there were swings back then!)

It turned out that the footsteps were just from a maid, who was coming in to clean Meiling's room just as Tomoyo and Sakura left.

"Phew… that was a close call!!!" Tomoyo sighed in relief.

Sakura had forgotten that she was dressed in the yukata.

"HOOOEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she exclaimed as looked down at herself, horrified.

"Oh, my!" Tomoyo said in surprise.

"What have I done, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura cried.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry, Sakura-chan. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't told you to put on the yukata!" Tomoyo shook her head.

"No, it's all right, Tomoyo," Sakura smiled weakly. "But what should we do now?! The maid is in Meiling's room! And what if a guard sees us?"

"There's nothing we can do but wait a couple of minutes and pray for the best. Anyways, I don't think the maid will be in Meiling's room much longer. We "cleaned" some of it!" Tomoyo laughed.

Sakura carefully sat down on the white swing, making sure that the yukata wouldn't drag on the ground.

Tomoyo sat down on the swing next to her.

"Hey… I wonder if the guy Meiling supposed to marry has seen her yet," Tomoyo thought aloud.

"They're supposed to meet in two weeks, when the King and Queen come back," Sakura said. "At least, that's what the King said when I asked."

Tomoyo sighed.

"We were supposed to have a better life than this," Tomoyo said sadly.

"But at least we're living," Sakura pointed out. "But I wished we weren't punished so much."

"Hai, hai, I suppose so," Tomoyo said.

.: Meanwhile, with Syaoran and Eriol:.

"Here we are… the Rae Clan Castle," Eriol said as they stood in front of the gates.

"I am not prepared for a whole afternoon of boringness and babyishness with some crybaby," Syaoran muttered. "This sucks."

"But you can go wherever you want," Eriol said. "You're a Prince, and Clans often let other Royals browse their Kingdoms without any authorization, unless there's a feud. So there must be some type of enjoyment around here."

Syaoran looked blank.

"Uh, Eriol, call me dense, but when you speak like that, you sound like a computer," Syaoran joked.

"Shut it, you sound like a trembling mouse when you speak to people you don't know well," Eriol shot back.

"Sure. Whatever. Let's just go in," Syaoran said unenthusiastically.

"Yeah."

"Excuse me, how can we help you?" asked a guard as he and another guard eyed Syaoran and Eriol suspiciously.

"We're here to see my cousin Kaho and—" Eriol tried to explain.

"Oh yes the mistress has mentioned a blue-haired cousin. I suppose it's you," the other guard said.

"Uh, yeah. We're also—" Syaoran tried to say as the guard interrupted once more.

"Just go in, we don't want to hear your life story," they said impatiently.

"Bad security," Eriol whispered to Syaoran as the walked to the castle doors. "They would let anyone in, even enemies and stuff."

"That's not our problem," Syaoran pointed out.

"I guess," Eriol said as they tapped on the castle doors. "But I feel sorry for you. What happens if your bride get kidnapped?"

"Hello there," Wei greeted Eriol and Syaoran. "How may I help you?"

"We're here to see—" Eriol said before a tall lady who appeared behind Wei interrupted him.

"Oh my! My cousin!!!!! And Prince Syaoran!!! To what do I owe this wonderful visit?" Kaho Mizuki smiled.

"Hello, Kaho," Eriol smiled as Syaoran nodded.

"Well, Kaho, I'm sure you can take care of your guests, right?" Wei asked Kaho.

"Hai, hai, I'm sure I can," she said.

"Well, come in, guys," Kaho said as Eriol and Syaoran followed her to the living room.

"Well, Eriol, how are you? How is life in the Li Clan?" Kaho asked as they she sat down on a couch opposite Syaoran and Eriol.

"Great," Eriol responded. "And I heard you and that soldier Touya are going out?"

"Why, yes," Kaho blushed. "Where'd you hear that?"

"News travels fast."

Finally Kaho turned to Syaoran.

"So, Syaoran, you're not going to be on the market anymore, I suppose? Poor girls," Kaho joked.

"Uh, yeah. May I please use the bathroom?" Syaoran stood up.

"Yes… yes, you do so Syaoran," Kaho said, puzzled.

As Syaoran passed, he muttered to Eriol, "I'm going to look for the Princess. I want to get this over with as soon as possible, and not listen to any reminiscing of your pasts."

"Sure, sure," Eriol muttered back. "Just don't get into trouble."

Syaoran went back to the front gates and sighed. His life was already complicated, and soon being married was making his life even more complicated. He was only 15, for crying out loud. He wasn't ready.

Syaoran started walking forward and realized that he was going the wrong way.

'She probably is in her girlie room looking at all her precious jewels,' Syaoran thought. 'How dumb.'

So instead he walked towards the back of the castle and up the stairs, where he came across many servants, who quickly bowed to him as they carried heavy sheets, new yukatas and haoris, kimonos, and anything fabric.

"Uh, can you tell me where the Princess's room is?" he asked a servant, which just happened to be Chiharu Mihara.

"Oh sure, your highness," Chiharu said as she bowed. "But I'm afraid you're going the wrong way. Just turn around and keep walking until you reach the last room, near the spiral staircase that leads to the back. But I don't understand why you want to go to the Princess's room. She's not there. She's—"

"That's alright, I look for her," Syaoran said quickly as he hurried away, leaving a puzzled Chiharu behind him.

"Well… maybe the Princess has come back and went into her room," Syaoran told himself. "I just want to get over this."

His sandals clanked on the hard castle ground, making him wince at the really loud ones and causing servants to wince.

"Ah… Gomen nasai," Syaoran blushed as a tall man gave him a stern look.

Finally he reached the Princess's room. The door was closed so he gently tapped on it. No answer. So he opened the door and looked inside a plain white bedroom, with pink bedsheets and carpet.

"Girly Girl," Syaoran muttered (A/N: No offence to all you pink lovers!).

He walked near the bedroom window to check out the view. The window looked out to the backyard, where Sakura and Tomoyo were talking on the swings.

"One of those girls must be the princess," he muttered. "No… wait. The girl in the fancy dress must be her. But why the heck would the Princess need to dress up in her own home? Oh yeah… maybe because of me. Damn!"

He walked out to the backyard and took the first glance at his new fiancée.

A/N: Hehe, not much of a cliffy, but I really needed to separate this into two chappies because it's really long and I want something to tide you over so I won't be bombed for not updating in a long time!!! Thankies everyone! Hugs and Kisses! I'm out!
