Chapter 4-What is this feeling?
Sakura woke up, feeling quite refreshed and energized. She pulled her blankets back and climbed out of bed. After brushing her hair and teeth, and changing into a simple gown, she made her way to the gardens.
"Wow! This place is amazing!" She glanced around. She bent down to examine some roses, inhaling their beautiful scent.
"Do you like roses?"
Sakura gasped and turned around. A man, several years older than her was standing in front of her, smiling. "I'm sorry, did I startle you? My name is Yukito, I am a Wizard."
Sakura curtsied. "I am Princess Sakura."
Yukito grimaced lightly when he heard her name, but then smiled. "So, you are Princess Sakura! So the rumors are true! You are very beautiful!"
Sakura blushed crimson.
Princess, what kingdom do you govern?" asked Yukito, a bit too eagerly.
"I govern-
"Sakura! There you are!" Tomoyo came running towards her, panting. "I've been looking for you everywhere! Oh, I'm sorry!" Tomoyo just seemed to have spotted Yukito. "Was I disturbing anything?"
Sakura and Yukito shook their heads. "Well, I must get going! I hope we can talk some other time, Wizard Yukito!" said Sakura.
"And you, Princess Sakura!" Yukito waved goodbye as she left.
"Tomoyo! Thank god! He was asking me what land I governed!" Sakura said, once they were an earshot away.
"But Sakura, we've been through that already. You are ruler of a distant country!"
Sakura shook her head. "I know that. But I hate lying!"
Tomoyo gave a sympathetic look, feeling quite sorry and guilty for making the girl lie.
Sakura, noticing Tomoyo's discomfort, instantly brightened up. "But, I'll be fine!"
Tomoyo smiled.
Sakura looked around, before asking, "Where is Eriol?"
"I think he's with his cousin," replied Tomoyo. Seeing Sakura's blank expression, she added, "You know, the Prince? Syaoran?"
Tomoyo smirked when a faint blushed appeared on Sakura's face.
"I didn't know that they were cousins!" said Sakura quickly.
"Well, you are new here. But don't worry; you'll get the hang of it soon!" You got off this time, Sakura!
Throughout the day, Sakura was followed by many Lords and Ladies. Exhausted, she retreated to her room.
"Princess Sakura! Will you-"
"No! I don't want to marry you! I don't even know who you are!" snapped Sakura, her irritation finally getting to her. She slammed her door. "Can't I have a moment's peace here?" she asked no one in particular.
She pulled her gloves off, and placed them on the table. Noticing a note on it, she bent down to examine it.
Sakura,
Eriol and I will be back soon! We've just gone off to the local village to get more material for you! When we come back, I want you to try my new dress for you!
Tomoyo and Eriol
Sakura smiled. Then the smiled instantly faded when she heard a soft, but insistent knocking. She marched to the door and flung it open.
"I told you no-" She gasped. It was Syaoran. Prince Syaoran!
"You were saying?" asked Syaoran, with a smile on his face.
"Um…sorry, I thought you were someone else." Sakura's face was burning. "Um…why are you here?"
"I just wanted to see how you were." This time, Syaoran seemed to be blushing.
"I'm as well as could be," said Sakura, formally.
Syaoran placed his hand up. "Sakura, please no formalities!"
Sakura smiled. "Well, if you say so!"
She stood there for a couple of minutes, watching him. He avoided her gaze, flustered.
"Would you like to visit the gardens with me? They're beautiful at night," said Syaoran finally.
"I would love to!" replied Sakura.
Syaoran held out his hand. Sakura hesitated for a few seconds, but then firmly clasped his hand, and they took off to the gardens.
Tomoyo practically pranced back to the castle.
"Oh! This material will look wonderful on Sakura!" she exclaimed gleefully.
Eriol laughed. "You're not going to torture her, now, are you?"
Tomoyo's eyes gleamed evilly. "Define torture?"
Eriol chuckled lightly.
They had reached the castle gates now. The guards peered at them closely, and then let them past.
Tomoyo was staring at the gardens. She could see two slim figures. She squinted, for a better view.
"OoOoOoOo! Eriol! Look over there!" Tomoyo pointed to her right. "That's Sakura! With Syaoran!"
Eriol turned to the direction she was pointing to. He smiled. "Syaoran was staring and gaping at her during the ball!"
Tomoyo was jumping around with excitement. "He likes her! He likes her!" She repeated this chant, while they walked back to the castle. (A/n Um….no Tomoyo isn't on drugs! She's just high and happy!)
"You're right! This place even more beautiful at night" Sakura ran around in delight, looking at the gardens.
Syaoran bit back a laugh. Sakura was looking, even more beautiful than ever. Right now, it hurt to even look at her. He sighed. How could her even feel these feelings over someone he hardly knew?
