Before I knew you

Chapter 2- The princess of princesses

By: The one and only Greenleaf Blossom

"….and so that is why Japan is so rich and many beautiful girls like you live here! Its all because of the name Sakura." A boy with closed eyes bowed deeply. "See princess! Its no wonder that you are such a beautiful maiden!" The boy said and the girl in front of him was ever so surprised. The girl was wearing a tiara with pink diamonds and a long pink silk dress. She had beautiful emerald eyes and her long silky auburn hair was let down. Her mouth was in an 'o' shape and she totally believed what her gardener had just told her. "Yamazaki-kun….was that really true?" She asked and the boy in front of her nodded his head. "Surely! Even the advisor said that it is true, eh Li-san?" He said and nodded towards a girl who was standing next to the princess. She had long black hair and her eyes were like red rubies. "Yamazaki, do you want me to tell Chiharu-san that you are lying again!" The girl sighed. The girl with the wonderful emerald eyes scrunched up her eyebrows. "That…was a…lie?" "Sakura-chan! You have to trust your advisor more than your gardener!" The girl with black hair said and glared at the laughing boy. "Mei-chan…why are you so sure that was a lie?" The girl called Sakura said and Yamazaki laughed even more. The advisor shook her head and looked up at the sky. "Oh kami!" She said and rubbed her temples. "Meiling? Are you alright?" Sakura questioned. "Of course Princess! Now why don't we go back inside before the gardener here can start conjuring up any more lies!" Meiling said and shot a glare at Yamazaki. Sakura nodded and bid farewell to her gardener. Sakura Kinomoto was the beautiful princess of Japan. She had an advisor named Meiling and her gardener was named Yamazaki. Her closest lady in waiting was Chiharu and she was always aware that Yamazaki was telling lies. Sakura had a brother named Touya and he and his wife Kaho and child Musko were Sakura's closest relatives. She had two cousins called Ling- Ling Chan and Tomoyo Chan. Sakura sighed as she went into her brother's study room. "Hey kaijuu!" A tall man greeted her and Sakura suddenly grew 8ft tall. "ITS SAKURA! S-A-K-U-R-A SAKURA! NOT KAIJUU!" She shouted and stepped on her brother's foot hard. Sakura smoothed her dress down and watched in amusement as her brother, the king, was limping. "Alright, Sakura, lets get started!" Touya said and grimaced as he collapsed into a chair. Sakura smirked and then frowned when she saw the scrolls laid out on Touya's desk. She buried her head in her arms and groaned. "NO! I don't want to see anymore of those princes' portraits! They are so ugly! Besides, I don't have to get married!" Sakura said and looked at her brother wearily. Touya smiled and said "Kura, you have to! You are 16 this year and we need to get you married!" Touya said and unrolled the first scroll. "Okay look, this is the prince of Switzerland. His name is Prince Roy!" Touya said and looked at the portrait. "OH EWWWW!" Touya exclaimed and threw the portrait onto the floor. Sakura snapped out of her trance and looked at the King flapping his arms up and down like a little girl that had just eaten a worm. "Onii chan?" Sakura questioned and looked strangely at the King. Touya finally calmed down and pointed to the portrait. "Look at that- that- thing!" Touya said and turned his head. Sakura sweatdropped and picked up the portrait. She turned it over. "I am sure it cant be tha-" Sakura's beautiful eyes opened in surprise and she felt dizzy. Sakura's lady in waiting, Rika, saw what was happening to the princess and rushed to her side. Sakura nearly collapsed and she dropped the portrait with disgust. "EWWWWWWWWWWW I AM SCARRED! AHHHHHH! HELP ME! ITAI! EWWWWW! WHO IS THIS- THIS FREAK!" Sakura exclaimed and fell into a chair. Rika whipped a pair of safety glasses out of nowhere and picked up the portrait with a hankie. The scroll had a face painted on it. It had the blackest hair and the smallest eyes. It looked like a pig and a possum cross. Rika scrunched up her face in disgust and threw the portrait into a shaft that was labeled "ugly creatures." Sakura and Touya recovered from their shock and Sakura picked up the next scroll. She slowly unraveled it and closed her eyes. "1….2….3!" Sakura counted and looked at the portrait. "Its…..okay….I guess!" Sakura said and handed the portrait over to her brother. "Hmmmm prince of China? (a/n- can you guess who?)….Prince Ho?" Touya said and looked at Sakura and then back at the portrait. "Hmmm…you guys do look good together!" (a/n- I know it was supposed to be Syaoran but hey…he is already engaged!) He gave the portrait over to Sakura with a smile on his face. "What do you think?" he said. Sakura looked at the boy on the scroll. He had grey and blue hair that was ruffled up. His ocean blue eyes were wonderful and he looked good. Sakura smiled and Touya took that as a good sign. "Great! I'll send this Prince Ho a letter and a portrait of you!" Touya said and brushed off his royal robes. Sakura rolled up the piece of large parchment and put it neatly on the corner of Touya's desk. "I'll be in my room nii-chan." Sakura said and turned around to leave. "Alright kai-" Sakura suddenly turned around with fire in her eyes. Touya shrank back and prayed to god that his foot would not be bruised any further. "Uh….I mean…Kura." Touya said and Sakura turned back to her normal self. "Bye nii-chan!' She said gaily and skipped out the room. Sakura waited until Rika completely closed the door then she burst. "ARGH! I do not want to see any more of those ugly princes!" Sakura exclaimed and her silky auburn hair was tousled. "Demo Princess, don't you think that Prince Ho of China was rather fair?" Rika said and tilted her head to the side. "Well he is okay… but what if he only looks nice in pictures and he is really a giant ogre that likes eating young and dense princesses in real life?" Sakura said the last part in one breath and started walking to her bedchamber. "I wish Tomo was here, she would know what to do!" Sakura said and she was really proud of her cousin Tomoyo. She and her were more like best friends then cousins. Everything Sakura wore was made by Tomoyo. Even her bigger sister, Ling- Ling, didn't seem more like a sister to Tomoyo than Sakura. They reached Sakura's chambers and they were greeted by Meiling. Meiling is Sakura's advisor and she was found outside the gates of her city. "Princess Sakura! You are back!" Meiling said and flashed Sakura one of her rare smiles. "Konnichiwa Mei-chan!" Sakura said and waved Rika off. She and Meiling went to Sakura's closet gallery and went through her clothes. "Meiling, today I finally picked a Prince!" Sakura said proudly and waited for Meiling's advice. Meiling always gave good advice. "Well then, is he good looking?" Meiling said and Sakura fell down anime style. "Owwww Mei, you aren't supposed to ask me if he was good looking or not! You are supposed to give me advice!" Sakura said and pouted. Meiling raised one eyebrow and helped Sakura pull out her nightgown. "Well Princess, I think that you should spend time with him to get to know him before you get engaged!" Meiling said and Sakura pondered what she had just said. "Hmmm you are so right Mei!" Sakura said. "Maybe I will ask Nii-chan if I can spend time in the Li kingdom with him before I actually reply to the marriage!" Meiling smiled. "weeeeell now that we've got that settled, are you going to answer my question from before? Is he cute?" Meiling asked and lit up. "HOEEEEEE? Meiling, how could you ask that!" Sakura said and veins popped up from her head. "You certainly are the princess of princesses!" Meiling stated. "No wonder Yamazaki could always trick you with his lies!"


At the Li kingdom 3 weeks later.

"Hmmmm….WOW! SHE IS A TOTAL GODDESS!" Ho exclaimed and his bright blue eyes shone. Syaoran leaned in to see the person that his brother had been drooling over the whole morning. Ho had received the portrait of a young princess that had been willing to marry him. Syaoran's eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of a slender girl with dazzling emerald eyes. She had auburn hair and a wonderful smile. "whoa!" Syaoran said and wiped the drool coming from the corner of his mouth. Ho smirked. "hey bro, she is mine, you already have Ling- Ling!" Syaoran's wonderous look turned into a dark one when he heard the words "ling- ling". "Don't talk about that hyper girl!" Syaoran said and shook his head. He turned back to looking at the stocks of the kingdom and Ho sighed. "Bro, Ling- Ling isn't as bad as Shiu-Ling, besides, they are two different people!" Syaoran closed the stock book and turned to Ho. "Ho, you are the only person I will express my feelings too, if you turn on me, then I will have no one to talk to!' Syaoran said and shook Ho by the shoulders. "Gomen Xiao. I just wanted to tell you that I will always be there for you no matter what. Its just that maybe Ling-Ling isn't as bad as she looks! Give her a try!" Ho said and nudged Syaoran. "Ho, if you like that Chan so much then why don't me and you trade. You can have Ling-Ling while I can have that beautiful girl in the portrait." Syaoran said and pointed to the picture Ho was holding. Ho widened his eyes and smirked. "Wow, you have never said for a girl to be beautiful before! But sorry, the goddess is mine!" Ho said and rolled up the picture. Syaoran shook his head and frowned as Ho got up to leave. "Hey, at least tell me what her name is!" Syaoran said and pleaded Ho with his very best smile. "Chill bro, and don't smile that way, it looks freaky. As for the girl, I don't know her name!" Ho said and turned around to leave. Syaoran looked out the window and sighed. "I would rather marry that girl in the picture then Ling-Ling" Syaoran got up and left the room. A girl went out from her hiding place and tapped her finger on her chin. "That girl in that picture looked so familiar! Where have I seen her before?" The girl continued to think and she walked over to the window. There were cherry blossom trees everywhere. "Its so nice! Look at all the Sakura trees!" The girl jumped and looked shocked. "The person in the portrait was.....Sakura!"

Kinomoto kingdom

Onii-chan! I promise that I will take care of myself! You dont have to worry!" Sakura said and gave her tall brother a hug. "Okay kaijuu! You are only going to MEET the person you are engaged to, you are not going to be doing ANYTHING else! Understood?" Touya said and towered over his sister. Sakura's cheeks puffed up and her face turned red. Touya whimpered and tried to move his foot, but he was caught under Princess Sakura Kinomoto's wrath. "ITAIIII!" Touya yelled as Sakura closed her eyes tightly and held her hands in fists. Meiling laughed as Touya turned beet red and clutched his foot tightly. Touya recovered and limped over to Sakura and Meiling. "Alright, Meiling, you have to look after the princess, especially when you are riding to the Amiar Kingdom." Touya said and glanced at the two horses, one a snowy white and the other a dark black. "Bye nii-chan!" Sakura called and hopped up on the white horse. Meiling did the same and turned around. Sakura looked back and waved to Touya. "Sayorara nii-chan! Take care of Kaho!" Her beautiful auburn hair shone in the sunlight and Touya smiled as he walked back inside the gates. She may be a kaijuu, but she is definetely the princess of all princesses.
