Chapter 2 Please R&R.

As the carriage pulled up in front of the palace, Syaoran and Eriol were walking back after and afternoon in the gardens. Both stopped to look as the girls got out of the carriage, Tomoyo trying to carry her many bags until servants took them off her and Sakura slowly backing away from Takarii who was trying to flirt with her.

Eriol sensing the Princesses discomfort quickly ran down the steps to where Sakura was standing. As soon as he saw him, Takarii quickly left the scene.

"Well, hello Princess! I hope you had a lovely say in the town. Perhaps you will have to take Prince Li and I someday."

Sakura smiled thankfully at Eriol, "Certainly! Oh! How rude of me! This is my best-friend Daidouji Tomoyo, Tomoyo, this is Higawazii Eriol."

Tomoyo stared slightly at the hansome young man standing before her and suddenly caught herself, bowing.

"Please call me Eriol!" Eriol said unknowingly staring at the beauty of the girl before him. He then bowed in return.

Tomoyo blushed lightly, "and ,I Tomoyo"

Sakura watched this scene with interest. Tomoyo was not very boy-orientated and although she had many admires, never took any notice. Now with this boy, something seemed different.

Syaoran slowly walked down the huge steps to where Eriol and the girls were standing.

Sakura noticed this and turned to greet him. Although a very good-looking boy, Prince Li scared her, it seemed something was off with im.

The 16 year old put on a smile and bowed to the Prince.

"Hello, Prince Li, I hope you are enjoying your stay at our palace."

Syaoran looked at her oddly and bowed in return,

"Yeah, I guess."

Fine thought Sakura If you don't make the effort then neither will I.

"Well, no one asked you to did they?" Syaoran replied angrily.

Sakura turned back, shocked.

"I didn't say anything! What are you talking about?!"

Syaoran stuttered slightly, at a loss for words, for once in his life. Tomoyo and Eriol turned to the pair to watch what was happening.

"Yes, yes, you did! You said 'I you don't make any effort then neither will I'" Syaoran retorted smirking.

Tomoyo and Sakura gasped.

"I would not say anything of the sort!"

"How dare you lie about what Sakura said!!" Tomoyo called angrily.

"Come Tomoyo. I cannot stand to be in this mans presence any longer. Good day Eriol."

Sakura stormed off, up the stairs.

"Fairwell Eriol!" Tomoyo smiled slightly and then her eyes narrowed when she turned to Li, "Prince Li."

She then turned on her heels and followed the emerald-eyed teen.

As soon as she left, Eriol rounded on Syaoran.

"What an earth did you do that for?!" Eriol asked, on the verge of shouting.

"She said it! I swear!"

"Well why would she deny it if she did?!"

"I don't know do I? She's just a stupid little girl! "

Eriol sighed, "so I've heard. More importantly is that now Tomoyo will know."

"What??" Syaoran turned angrily

Eriol lowered his voice, "Well if Princess Sakura suddenly goes missing overnight, then Tomoyo will tell them of your argument today and you will be the first person she suspects!"

"Damn, your right. Okay then. We'll take her too. That can be your job. The Princess will be mine.

Eriol shook his head. He didn't agree to any of this kidnapping lark but what could he do?

"Sure, okay then."

"Good. Prepare our belongings and carriage but let no-one know we are leaving."

Eriol nodded once and walked off to prepare.
