Summary: 14 year old Sakura Kinomoto a.k.a. little princess, is being forced to marry a boy she has never meet before. Her mother that disagrees with the engagement sends her away to live with her cousin Tomoyo. But will Sakura be able to keep hiding from people who want to send her back, and not fall in love with one of them?

Recap

"I love you know go." Nadeshiko smiled encouraging then quickly walked away.

Sakura placed her finger to her lips as she looked at Kero who nodded.

They both made it safely to the carriage without being noticed.

The driver was a trusted friend of her mother so she knew she will be safe with Ms. Kara.

Sakura sighed as she took off her hood and looked at her mansion for the last time.

"Good bye, Momma." Sakura whispered.

Good bye Sakura Kinomoto. Hello Sakura Daidouji.

Sakura closed her eyes as she let herself drift to sleep. For tomorrow is going to be a very interesting day.

----------------------------------------------

The trip was very hot but thankfully it was short.

"Ms. Kinomoto-San, we are almost there. I assume only 20 or so minutes and we will be there." Ms. Kara said gently.

Sakura nodded.

"When you are there, look for Sam Harrison. He will help you get over the gate." Ms. Kara said.

"Alright." Sakura said as she looked out the window.

"Don't worry, Ms. Kinomoto- San I'm sure you will be fine." Ms. Kara said gently.

"Thank you." Sakura replied as she rubbed Kero's tummy.

Soon they stopped in front of a tall gate.

"Here's your stop Ms. Kinomoto- San. Be careful."

Sakura stepped down from the carriage and helped Kero down.

She took her bags out and put them beside her.

"Thank you Ms. Kara. For everything. Please be careful on your trip back." Sakura said quietly.

"Than you. Please be careful." Ms. Kara swung her wipe lightly and the horses and carriage left.

"Good bye." Sakura whispered.

She looked at Kero.

"I guess it's only you and me." Sakura said as she smiled.

The sun was barely up in the sky. So it was still night out and Sakura loved the cool breeze on her face.

"I guess we better get going." Sakura picked up her bags and turned around.

"Oh my hood." Sakura quickly put on her hood that covered her face.

"Alright, come on Kero." Sakura said as she started walking.

Kero walked beside Sakura.

The sun was rising very slowly over the horizon.

Sakura looked back and smiled.

"Isn't it a beautiful sight?" A voice behind Sakura said.

Sakura quickly spun around and saw a boy a little bit older then her.

He has brown messy hair and deep chocolate eyes. He was very cute!

A small blush went on Sakura's delicate face.

"Hello, Madame. How are you?" The boy said bowing deeply.

Sakura stared at him as though he was crazy.

Who is he? Why is he bowing? People here bow?

"I'm sorry. You not from here are you?" Asked the boy.

"No. Why do you ask?" Sakura asked eyeing the boy.

"Oh no reason. I just bow to anyone. Even a slave." The boy laughed at his comment.

Sakura put on a mad face.

"You have slaves?" Sakura spat out.

"Hu?" The boy stopped laughing and looked at the girl.

"Oh no. It was supposed to be a joke."

"Well it was not funny!" Sakura said angrily.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." The boy said looking sad.

"Well fine." Sakura said turning her head to look at the horizon.

"Well… it is beautiful." Sakura said as she pulled down the hood.

A shocked look came on to the boys face.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"Uh um n-n-nothing! What's your name?" The boy asked looking down and noticing Kero glaring at him.

Without thinking Sakura said, "Nadeshiko. Oh! I mean Sakura! My name is Sakura Nadeshiko Daidouji." Sakura quickly said.

"Oh. Wait you mean you know the Daidouji's?" Asked the boy.

"Yes. I'm uh one of their daughters. They had two. Me and my younger sister." Sakura was surprised by how the lie came so easily to her.

"Oh. Cool." He said staring at her.

"Do I have something on my face?" Sakura asked touching her face not sure.

"Hu? Oh no sorry. I just thought you um looked like someone… you know what never mind!" He said laughing with embarrassment.

"Oh. Well I better be going. I need to go see my family." Sakura said smiling as she picked up her bags and told Kero to come.

"Hey, wait! How about I escort you to your house?"

"I'm sorry but I already have an escort. But can you tell me where Sam Harrison is?" Asked Sakura.

"Sure. He's usually by the gate waiting for friends." He said pointing the way to the gate.

"Oh ok. Thank you very much kind sir." Sakura replied as she continued her way.

"Your welcome!" He yelled to her but she only turned to smile.

"Ok Kero. It's time to go." Sakura said gently to him which he yawned in return.

"I know. I'm tired too." Sakura said holding back a yawn.

She looked back to see the boy gone.

What did I think? He would really wait for me to leave?

Instantly she started laughing.

"Boy, I can be really weird when I'm tired." Sakura said laughing which got a weird look from Kero.

Sakura saw a man in his late 40s maybe early 50s lean on the wall connected to the wall.

"Excuse me." Sakura said gently to the man.

The man opened one eye.

"Yes?" He grunted out.

Please don't be…

"Do you know where I can find Sam Harrison?" Sakura asked.

"Hum. Why do you want to see 'im?" The man asked.

Please don't…

"I need to get to my home. Ms. Kara told me to find a man called Sam Harrison.

"Oh! Kara? Then why didn't you say so earlier? I'm Sam Harrison. Here at your service." The man bowed.

"Does everyone bow here?" Sakura asked forgetting she was supposed to live here.

He gave her a funny look.

"Don't you remember? You must have been gone for a long time. Yes. At least to there superiors." Sam said as he scratched his beard.

"So what's your name ma'am?" Sam asked as he led her to the gate.

"Sakura. Sakura Daidouji." Sakura said letting the lie slip again so easily.

"Ah. Well you came from a very wealthy family, Ms." Sam said grinning back to her.

"Yes. I know." Sakura said really knowing that information.

"You know you're a very pretty sight Ms. Daidouji." Sam said smiling back at her again.

"Um yes. Thank you." Sakura felt uneasy getting a compliment from him.

Wait a second! Don't I have my hood on? I don't! Omigosh! I must have forgotten to put it back on! Stupid me!

"Woof!" Kero tried to bark.

"Hu?" Sakura snapped out of her thoughts and noticed they were far ahead of her.

"Ha! Slow poke!" Sam yelled back at her laughing.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Sakura said running to catch up with them.

------------

"I don't know. I doubt it. Uh Hu… Don't worry; if that's so then I will keep an eye on this girl. Ok bye sir." The boy hung up and sighed.

"Please don't be her." He whispered as he walked to the gate barely noticed.
