Okay people.
Nocturne means evening music.
And I'm still sticking to my clue: are you superstitious?
Chapter Four: Nocturne
Due to the ministers of the country's pleas, the grand piano was now under heavy inspection. No one could easily approach it without guards finding out.
-
Sakura walked around her room. Her fingers were aching to touch the strong keys of the piano.
Suddenly, the door opened, "Sakura? I just checked the hall. No one is there."
Sakura hugged Tomoyo, "Thank you."
Tomoyo smiled, "You have to go now."
Sakura laughed, "If anyone catches me, deny even knowing me, okay? I don't want you to get into trouble as well."
"Sakura…"
But Sakura had already put her black cloth over her head, and she smiled at Tomoyo, "But I won't get caught."
Tomoyo saw Sakura putting some baby rabbits into her pocket, "what are those for?"
"You'll see later."

Sakura slowly slide out of her room, and ran quietly towards her goal. She froze as the clock strike midnight. Sakura wiped the sweat off her forehead, and sighed, "If I don't make it tonight, I'm dead."
She saw some guards around the corner. Sakura smiled, and see got out the rabbits. She let one rabbit run off, but before, she gave it a bit slap on the bottom. The guards heard, and ran to see what was happening.
Sakura hid in a closet until she heard some footsteps.
One guard whispered, "I think we heard a thief."
"Yes… why don't we split up?"
"Okay."
And then they ran off. Sakura giggled a little, and she climbed out of the closet.
Sakura slowly walked towards the grand piano. She smiled, while thinking of which song she could play.
She ran her hand against the top of the piano. Suddenly, she found some words carved into it…
A wedding gift for the Engagement of Prince Syaoran and Princess K…
But the surname of the princess was blurred, and Sakura could not see it. She smiled, "So the prince is engaged. To which rich princess?"
Suddenly, a deep voice said in a grim tone, "To the Princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom."
Sakura turned around to find Prince Li, who was smiling.
"How…"
"I knew you would come back, once you knew the piano had moved."
Sakura then knew that Syaoran had planned this all along, "You…did all this!"
"Yes I did."
"And did you say the Princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom? Well, my surname…but it isn't surprising. Kinomoto is a very common name."
"And so is Li." Syaoran sighed, "The Kinomoto girl disappeared at the age of five. I was engaged to her at the age of three. However, the Kinomoto kingdom insisted I shall be engaged to her. If she is not found before I turn twenty, the engagement is off."
"Oh. So were you friends with her?"
"No. My parents used me as a tool to get the Kinomoto kingdom to become allies."
"So you hate her?"
"I guess you could put it that way." suddenly, Syaoran laughed, "You are asking so much about me. How about you?"
"M…me?"
"Yes. About you?"
"I…I can't tell you! My identity is a secret."
"Fine. We'll leave this matter till after you play your song."
Sakura shook from the tension, "Okay…your highness."
Sakura slowly sat onto the piano, and laid her fingers onto the piano. She thought over which song she should play…
Dreaming…
Sakura smiled. Yes, she would play the romance song, Dreaming. IT was a nocturne song, or otherwise known as, an Evening song.
She set her hand on the piano, and begun to play…
-
After half an hour, Sakura got up again, and she smiled at the Prince, "Good night, Prince Li."
"Please…call me…Syaoran."
Sakura turned back to look at Syaoran, who was staring into Sakura's emerald eyes.
Syaoran murmured, "Please, just tell me your name…"
"My name…my surname's third letter is N."
"But…"
"Bye…Syaoran."
