A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I thought Chapter 3 isn't very good. I didn't expect it to have more reviews than any of my other chapters. So, I am trying harder for Chapter 4, and here it is!

Reviewers

just-a-beginner: Sorry I didn't include you in Chapter 3 reviewers. I had published the chapter before I realized you had reviewed. I'll try to lengthen the chapters. Cheers!

Lil Cherry Blossom Angel: I had to start somewhere right?

FlowerLover: Thanks for the review!

Unkown-Character: Hope you like this chapter! Cheers!

iluvanime493: Well, remember Sakura lives alone? She can't possibly handle like 20. The Unicorns are also quite big. Therefore, the stable must also be big enough to house all of them. Sakura's farm is small, soooo….. and go back to Chapter 1, I have noted that her family is deceased. How her family died will come along later. (Wow, longest reply to reviewer yet!)

chikichiki: Thanks for the review!

galaxy guardian: I hope you will support me till the end!

Chapter 4: Friends

"Did you hear? Prince Syaoran and his cousin Prince Eriol have run away!"

"I heard it's about the arranged marriage with those two coughuglycough princesses. Its no wonder they would run away!"

"No kidding?"

The news about our two Heros escape had spread like wildfire. Somehow, the news had leaked out of the castle and landed in the hands of the now gossiping villagers. Even though it has been four days since the event happened, it still seemed to be the best subject worth talking and the talk did not seem to be able to die down soon.

(A/N: Actually, there are tons of prince and princess runaways' stories around here….)

A cloaked lady entered the town unnoticed. She rode her horse towards a grain store and alighted from her steed. She revealed herself to be Rika Sasaki, a young 16 year old with slightly curled ebony brown hair and brown eyes. She is well-known in the town as the second best phoenix specialist after her teacher, TeradaYoshiyuki. Terada had also owned a large phoenix farm to do his research which now Rika is assigned to take care of.

The shop bell rang as the young girl stepped into the dim room. It was still early and the shop had just opened.

"Are the bird seeds ready Jack? The phoenixes are getting hungry back at the farm. I need to hurry. Sorry for all the trouble."

The wrinkled old man just shook his head and smiled, "It's an honor to serve you Miss Sasaki, I hope you are doing well?"

"Oh yes! Thanks for your concern."

Jack called his workers to carry out four large bags of bird seeds. Each had a symbol of a phoenix printed on it and was obviously specially made for the beautiful winged creatures.

"Thanks again Jack! The seeds you give me are always top-grade. Its no wonder the phoenixes kept on hankering me for more!"

Jack smiled warmly and replied," It's my job anyways. Do you need help carrying them?"

Rika shook her head and replied, "It's not a bother. I'll just ask my phoenixes to carry them back for me."

She took out a sliver whistle from her pocket and blew into it. Strangely, no sound came from the instrument at all! However, in a split second, four beautifully plumaged phoenixes came fluttering through the window, each of a different colour and element.

They picked up the bags of seeds and carried them out of the shop and started to fly towards the direction of the farmlands.

Jack clapped his hands, impressed with how Rika had trained the birds to come to her whenever she needed them.

"By the way Jack, what's the latest news around here? I was far too busy the last few days to come into town to check."

Jack chuckled, "You would never guess. Prince Syaoran and Prince Eriol had escaped from the castle due to an arranged marriage with Princess Rei and Princess Luna. I'm sure you don't need to know the reason why!" then he let out a hearty laugh.

"Really? Wow. I guess I did miss quite a few things. Well, got to go now! I'm visiting Sakura today!"

"You mean Miss Kinimoto? The one that breeds Unicorns and give rides to children? Tell her I said hi! Have a nice day!"

"I will! Bye!"

The shop bell rang once again as Rika exited the shop. She grabbed the reins of her horse and galloped out of the town and back to the farmlands.

Back on the farmlands………..

"So what's today's plan?"

"On Mondays like these, I will open my farm to give rides to children. That's how I earn gold. I don't sell my Unicorns as I just love them all too much! They are too close to me to bear to leave me anyways."

"I see…."

Sakura and Syaoran had gotten along quite well the past few days while Syaoran had almost adapted to farm life if you excluded him falling down the well again on the third day due to a puddle.

"My friends always come to help me on days like these. You'll see why later.."

"When are they coming?"

Just then, Flames was seen flying towards them, cawing at her mistress, as if trying to tell her something.

"That will be them now."

She stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.

"Xiao Lang, meet my closest friends ever since childhood."

Her door creaked and opened slowly. Standing right behind it were three girls, all darting smiles towards Sakura.

"Sakura!" they said in unison as they hugged her-HARD. This caused Sakura to topple over and fall right on the ground.

Syaoran went dot-eyed at the scene.

Sakura went from yellow to red to purple. "Ch-ok-in-g can'-t bre-a-t-he."

The thrio then realized if they held onto Sakura any longer, she will turn into an eggplant.

As Sakura tried to regain her breath, the thrio then finally noticed Syaoran, they then turn back to Sakura and asked, "Who's this Sakura? Your boyfriend?"

The two went beet red in a couple of seconds. "No no no! Xiao Lang is just here because errr…… do you have time to spare?"

They nodded, "Sure, I think it'll be an hour before the first kids come."

"Oh wait. Let me introduce you to Xiao Lang first."

POV of Syaoran

"Xiao Lang, the ones in pigtails is Chiharu Mihara, she's a Hippogriff breeder. The one in glasses is Naoko Yanagisawa, she breeds Martlets and finally, Rika Sasaki, and she's a phoenix breeder. I got Flames from her farm."

I smiled as charmingly as I could at the new ladies, "Nice to meet you. I'm Xiao Lang."

Mihara then asked Sakura, "Is he taken? If not I will."

I wasn't surprised. Which woman in her right mind could resist me?

"Chiharu! What about Yamazaki?"Asked Sakura.

Mihara sighed, "You're right…….."

End of POV

Normal POV

Rika then remembered, "Hey you guys been to town recently?"

All of them shook their head. Seemingly, they have been too busy taking care of their animals to go into town.

"You will never guess what happen. The Prince and his cousin had run away from the palace!"

"What?"

"Are you sure?"

"No kidding?"

"………." ( A/N: This is Syaoran's reply…)

Chiharu and Naoko bombarded Rika with questions while Sakura turned her attention towards Syaoran, "Can you believe it Xiao Lang? Xiao Lang! This got to be the news of the year!"

"This isn't good. I hope they don't post up pictures. I'll be dead!"

"XIAO LANG!"

"Wha-"

"Ka-BONK" Syaoran's seat toppled over which caused Syaoran to fall.

"Hoe….."

About half an hour later…………

"Alright kids. Please go to the fence behind. The Unicorns will be waiting for you."

"YAY!"

Countless children ran past Sakura and headed for the pen. The stared in awe as all ten Unicorns were stationed at each door. All of them rushed forward, hoping to be the first to get a ride.

Chiharu clapped her hands to get the children attention "Easy kids. Let's line up first shall we?"

All the kids nodded and started to form a straight line. One by one ,each child chose their favourite unicorn and held on tight, partially because they are scared that they will fall off.

Sakura smiled and then saw Syaoran leaning against one of the fences, watching the children having fun.

"Bored?" She asked in a gentle voice.

"Not Really..." He replied, his eyes still focused on the smiling children.

Chocolate saw the two and decided to play matchmaker. He went towards the two and pushed Syaoran off the fence, causing him to fall right on top of Sakura.

"I'm so sorr-" Syaoran amber eyes were caught in Sakura's enchanting emerald pools. He couldn't tear away, not even blink. He was completely entranced in Sakura's eyes. His eyes slowly traveled to Sakura's full pink lips. She didn't have lipstick on but it still look tasty to Syaoran. "I wonder how they taste like-" His face made a centimeter closer to Sakura, who was still too shock to even move.

Closer……..

Closer…….

Closer……..

Closer…….

Closer……..

Closer…….
