Chapter 4 "At Last"

Another Day

Syaoran and the auburn haired girl's hands were clutched together spinning around wildly. She gave Syaoran one of her mega smiles as Syaoran smiled his happiest smile with all his heart, feeling like he's in a heaven as they continued spinning as they're off in their little world with just the two of them.

Both of them fell lying on their backs on the nice soft green grass.

"That was fun." She cutely giggled.

"Yeah." He replied.

Syaoran lifted his head leaning it on his arm getting a good look and dreamily stared at her.

"Umm there's something I want to tell you." he gathered all his courage.

"What is it?" she cutely asked dumbfounded.

"I-I just want say that ..."

"Yes Syaoran?"

"I – I –I lov-" he blurted.

Thunder clapped in the sky making a loud booming noise.

"A thunderstorm?" Syaoran said.

Another thunderclap flashed in the sky.

"Syaoran I'm scared." running into his arms. He protectively embraced her.

"We've finally found you. Now come with us." The guards ordered.

"No. Don't let them take me away." She frighteningly whimpered.

Syaoran gritted his teeth and tightened his hold on the girl. But the guard forced his way taking the girl away and knocking Syaoran back.

Syaoran reached out his hand towards her but saw that she was getting further away from him.

"Wait!"

End of Dream

Syaoran's eyes shot open to see his hand extended like it was in the dream.

"Wait…I've never gotten your name.." mumbling with sad eyes.

Pink petals flew from his window landing on his palm.

"Cherry blossoms?"

Moments Later

As usual Syaoran came downstairs getting ready to leave. But the only difference today is that he came down late which got his whole family curiously looking at him. Including Meiling who there too.

"I'm off…" Syaoran said before leaving.

"Not so fast, Syaoran. Today I'm not allowing you to leave as you have to be with the family for today."

Meiling was filled with excitement able to spend time with Syaoran. Syaoran stood there fumed eager to hear what excuse his mother had.

"Today's the day where the royal family comes out and greet the townspeople."

He burned with fury hearing about the royal family. "Forget it mother. I'm not going!"

"Don't make me repeat myself, Syaoran. Come with us or either risk putting our clan in disgrace."

Next Scene

"Yay! I knew you'd give in and want to spend time with me." Meiling squealed gripping on his arm.

" Don't get any ideas, Meiling."

"How dare mother force me into this!" he thought angrily. "Those rich oafs better have something important to make me waste my time." He bitterly thought.

"Come on, it's about to start, Syaoran." "Let's go look for Auntie Yelan." Jumping with joy dragging an exasperated Syaoran.

Moments Later

"Ah Meiling, you're enjoying yourself I see?" Yelan asked.

"Very much Auntie Yelan. More now that Syaoran is here." Syaoran rolled his eyes.

"Can this girl ever give it up!" he thought.

"And how about you, Syaoran?" his mother asked.

"I feel the same way too." he said sarcastically. Yelan's face wrinkled knowing what he really meant.

"Those snobs have some nerve to show their faces after all these years. I wonder what's the reason why they're showing their faces now. Blackmail maybe." Syaoran sulked.

"Syaoran, I did not raise you to talk trash about the king and queen. I expected more from you." Yelan sternly said insulted as she heard this about her close friends.

"If they are our king and queen, then they wouldn't just hide safely in their nice rich castle while they send out their men to fetch them more commoners to serve them!" he yelled out with all his hate.

Meiling was frightened at this. She broke the tension pointing towards something.

"Look, here they come!"

Syaoran and his mother, Yelan turned their gaze to where Meiling pointed.

Three carriages came riding down in the middle of the road slowly. Guards were on the side of each of the carriages securing the royal family in case if anything happened. The first carriage to come down was the biggest one consisting of two people.

The crowd cheered as they front revealed the faces of the queen and king.

"King Fujitaka! Queen Nasdeshiko!" the crowd roared happily.

Both kindly replied waving back. "Good afternoon, my fellow townspeople." The king said to the people.

"It is a pleasure to come out and see all of your happy faces." The queen kindly said.

The crowd roared again now with double the excitement.

Syaoran looked at the two. "I have to admit that they don't look like wicked people." "But how can they be so easily fooled?" he thought looking at the people.

Next came the second carriage but it had a more masculine look to it with black and blue and was smaller than the first.

The crowd roared again but it was mostly consisted of young women. Syaoran's four sisters also joined in.

"Touya Ouji-sama!(Prince Touya)" the girls squealed.

Their voices screeched through the air so loud that Syaoran and Meiling clasped their hands over their ears.

"So loud!" Meiling cried.

"That's how you sound like!" Syaoran laughed out.

"What did you say!" Meiling angrily shrieked. Syaoran tried his hardest to clasp his ears more.

The second carriage revealed a handsome looking young man around in his 20's. All the guys around his age looked at him with admiration and idolized him as he was one of the main generals of the kingdom's army. And all the girls dreamily stared at him wishing that they could get a piece of him for themselves or lucky enough to get all of him.

"Minna-san(everyone), fear not. I will continue on protecting this kingdom and it's treasure, you all." The prince announced.

"Such a good bunch.." an old woman praised.

"Yes. We're lucky to be ruled under such good people like them." An old man said.

Syaoran slowly changed his mind about the royal family. Slowly. But it still didn't mean his hate would completely go away.

And finally the third and last carriage came into view. It was the same size as the one before it but it was a feminine carriage engraved in pink and white.

Syaoran made sure to get a good look at the last member so his mom wouldn't later lecture him and he can soon go start on his training.

The front opened to reveal a beautiful young auburn haired girl. She gracefully waved out to her people giving her rare mega smiles.

Syaoran looked intently at the girl. His breath shortened and felt time has stopped for him.

"Mommy Mommy! Who is that pretty lady!" a little girl jumped with joy.

"Why Sweetie. That's the princess. Princess Sakura." her mother told her.

The princess finished up smiling and slowly revealing her rich deep emerald eyes to the public to take a good look at her beloved fellow townspeople.

"At last, I've found you. . . . . . . Sakura." He breathed taking in her name. " . . . my princess. . . "
