4. Judging and A Battle
After the crowd of princesses that scurried to the board which held the keys, the Prince continued on as Sakura half-listened. She was sleepy. After all, she didn't get much sleep on the plane.
"Now we will all go to the audition room of some sort to judge which girl is best for me," at this Syaoran sighed and continued, "The line is alphabetically ordered," he finished as he took one last look at Sakura. :SLAP:
Sakura heard: "Now- all- audition- judge- girl- best- order"
"Whaaaa?" she asked Tomoyo, confused.
"You have to go to that room," Tomoyo pointed to the large line of princesses. Sakura could hear "My name is Betty Aba!" and "MY name is Laurie Aa!" Tomoyo glared at the girls and continued, "Then you have to line up alphabetically so you can audition for that Prince!" Tomoyo cheerfully exclaimed. (she was like n.n… you know those eyes? :sigh: you probably don't get it :sobs: )
"Now-" Tomoyo got out of her chair "if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a talk with Eriol-kun. Have fun!"
Heat was rising from the top of Sakura's head… "Why you little traitor!" she said after her and got in line.
"K! K! Anyone here that's a K please? A J? L? M? N? H?" Sakura desperately shouted over the crowd of fighting ladies.
"I'M FIRST!" one shouted loudly
"YEA RIGHT! YOU WISH! I'M FIRST!" another responded.
Sakura went dot-eyed ( like this: -.- except the –'s have a lil' dot underneath =D) and stared at Tomoyo cheerfully talking with Eriol.
-----
In half an hour, the whole mess got cleared. All 200 girls had to line up properly, without lying about their name. One girl had caught Yelan's eyes. Kinomoto, she could have guessed. Her father described his daughter, what was her name? Sakiri or something like that. The girl looked around, truthfully staying in the back of the so called "line"
After they went through the J's, a shrill voice called out, "Kinomoto, Sakura!"
Tomoyo's eyes flashed with concern and smiled at Sakura. Sakura was dead frozen, Eriol's eyes were smiling behind the glasses, and Syaoran looked up for the fist time, as if he were interested.
Yelan had discovered that Sakura was too frightened to move.
"Sakura…" she mused as Sakura blushed apologetically and stepped into the room. The doors shut behind her, as well as shutting the giggles from the prissy princesses behind.
"Sakura, I've heard from your father. I'm telling him that you're doing very well, " Yelan smiled at her. Sakura smiled back and quickly stole a look at Li.
"Sakura, where did you come from?" Syaoran asked, even though he knew the answer. He just wanted to hear her :slap: melodic :slap: voice :slap slap slap:
The Queen looked quite surprised at Syaoran, but instead of showing so, she just smiled.
"I come from Japan, your Majesty." Sakura was blushing.
'WHAT? I can't be blushing! I'm supposed to enjoy my time here in China! Not fall in love with a corny prince!' she thought.
"I believe my best friend Eriol knows you," Syaoran said, slapping himself (poor Syaoran) again.
"I-h-y-yea…" she struggled to let out. What in the name of heavens was happening to her?
The Queen looked quite interested. This may just be our future Queen of China.
-----
And the Game goes on…
"Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo asked with glee.
"Yes, Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol answered, rubbing his hands together.
"Are you ready to play matchmaker?" Tomoyo asked, starry-eyed.
"Un!" Eriol responded, smiling evily.
They both cackled (BWAHAHHAHA!) and the whole group of princesses turned to stare. Tomoyo and Eriol both sweat-dropped in unison.
Sakura came out the room, looking as if she were in happy-land. Her face flushed even more when she saw the two lovebirds sing, "Syaoran and Sakura!"
MeiLing, unfortunately (sorry to all you MeiLing fans!), saw this connection between Sakura and Syaoran, and she vowed to stop it.
"Tomoyo, just shut up! Let's go to a café or something!" Sakura begged, wanting to get out of the subject of Prince Li.
"Little Wolves and Cherry Blossoms :sigh: so beautiful!" Tomoyo teased, looking above with starry eyes. Eriol-kun did the same and both ran for their dear lives. Sakura chased after them, fuming mad and embarrassed.
-----
Syaoran looked at the endless line of princess and slouched in his "royal chair". He thought about her (and received a million thwacks on his head) and came up with an evil plan. He had an evil face as Riiku was called in for auditioning, which made her cower with fear.
'If she's not strong, my thoughts will cease about her! Who wants a weak, girlie to be Queen?' he asked himself and approved of the idea. If she wasn't, by his means, strong enough, then she would stumble as he laughed heroically… (haha, he wishes)
After a grim day of Princesses going "Oh! I would gladly be Syaoran's wife!" or "I'm a great leader!" he was finally free to go where he pleased. It was already 5:45 PM, but they would have dinner at 7:00 PM anyway.
He saw Eriol. "Yo ERIOL! ERIOL!"
Eriol turned around holding hands with Tomoyo. He quickly blushed and said, "Hey… Syaoran."
At the mention of his name, Tomoyo's eyes lit up in happiness. "Sakura's in that garden thing back there, if you were wondering." Tomoyo giggled as Eriol gave his manly :cough: laugh.
Syaoran rolled his eyes at Eriol, but went into the direction of the garden anyhow.
"Migoto," he heard a sweet voice whisper. (means beautiful, as mentioned in chapter 2 )
He shuffled nervously, "Er-Sakura…"
She turned around and gasped, then blushed furiously.
"Gomen. I didn't know you were here," Yea Right… he thought to himself.
"It's quite alright, Prince Li." She muttered and curtsied, almost toppling over. Syaoran smiled.
"I was wondering if you knew martial arts, Miss Kinomoto."
"Well, yes." Sakura shifted uncomfortably, "Yes, I do."
"He turned to look at her. "Then is it quite alright if I ask you to a challenge tonight at 10:00?"
"Yes, I suppose so." Sakura mumbled, even though she knew she'd never get through the next day without snoring off.
"Thanks."
They both walked away in the opposite direction. She scolded herself, "China, stores, fun, no love…" Syaoran on the other hand slapped himself a billion times. Why was he being so polite and well-polished? Like a true Prince? If he had actually slapped himself physically, his cheeks would be purple by now.
-----
Skipping to 10:00! (yippee, go me!):
"Tomoyo-chan, are you sure you want to record it?" Sakura asked while dressing in a "battle suit" that was obviously Tomoyo's.
"My pleasure! Sakura-chan's first encounter with her only love, Li-kun." Tomoyo let out a fake, dreamy sigh. Sakura blushed and ordered, "Cut it out!"
Meanwhile, Eriol and Syaoran were in the hallway.
"Are you sure they're all sleeping?" Syaoran hissed at Eriol.
"Yea, all lights are out, your mother's too. The maids are still working, but none too near the garden," Eriol whispered and reported.
"I bet you I'll beat the crap outta her, my friend." Syaoran smiled in the dim light.
"Hmm… yea I hope so too. Being whipped by a girl… Ha!" Eriol laughed.
"What's her room number?"
"Their room number"
"Oh, looks like Eriol has feelings for 'Tomoyo-chan'!" Syaoran mocked in glee.
"Well, looks like you're the one wanting to fight a particular beautiful and pretty girl named Sakura Kinomoto."
Silence…
"Shut up and just gimme their room number,"
"It's 204, my Prince."
Syaoran gently knocked on the door and Sakura answered, in her uniform (that made Prince Li go drooly drooly! Haha, jk!)
"C'mon, let's go!" Syaoran hissed at the two girls. They both nodded and made their way to the garden.
-----
The four crept into the garden, Syaoran slowly unpacking his sword and another for Sakura, because it was obvious she didn't have one here.
"Shhh!" Sakura motioned to Syaoran as he, in his opinion, unpacked quietly as he could.
"You try this then!" he hissed at her, obviously angry at the remark she made. She shrugged and took a sword from the bag.
"Hey! That's my sword!" he said loudly. Eriol and Tomoyo both glared at him, telling him to shush up. (A/N awww… poor Syaoran )
In one swift motion, he took his sword back and Sakura, seeing no difference, took the other sword instead. Tomoyo stood near the bushes with Eriol as she videotaped the scene and as Eriol looked for intruders.
Without a word, both Prince and Princess started to battle. Eriol gaped and let his mouth hang out of shock. Whoever heard of a princess knowing how to hold and fight with a sword?
Tomoyo smiled at him, "Eriol-kun, you don't know the first thing I've learned about Sakura."
The two clashed the swords. Sakura threw a fast blow at Syaoran.
Not good, not good, not good Syaoran thought. She was good at sword-fighting, damn she was good at everything!
He quickly blocked the sword with one swift movement to the side. Tomoyo squealed, "This is great! A Prince and Princess falling in love after battling!"
Both Sakura and Syaoran sweat-dropped.
"I don't want to marry him/her!" they both said at the same time.
"Keep on battling," Eriol said, quite interested in the current fight.
They both grumbled and sword-fought again. Sakura, in her fury, swept many quick moves to Syaoran. He tried to block every one and attacked her himself. With a slip of his foot, she was beneath him on the floor. Their lips almost met, until Tomoyo screeched, "How romantic!" That stopped both of them from their trance. Sakura was blushing madly, as well as Syaoran. He was glad Eriol couldn't see in the dark.
"Ew! My little sweet virgin lips!" Sakura spat.
"Hmph. You guys should've kissed. It would've been perfect." Tomoyo grumbled angrily.
"Sakura! I never knew! Your such a good fighter!" Eriol said eagerly. He smiled apologetically when Syaoran scowled at him.
'Her sweet virgin lips…' he knew he should stop. :slap: (again… aww, our poor little wolf!)
