I have to say, I thought this story would be completely strange but once I started it, I got an idea for it. It's strange isn't it? I hope you like the second Chapter! And sorry for those who had to wait for this chapter!

Prince Xiao Lang had counted up to 29 people. The fire had killed the majority of the village. At least 2 or 3 hundred people!
"Mother, there are only 29 people left in our village. The fire must have killed the majority of them," Xiao Lang muttered to his mother.
"…" The queen did not reply. But after the awkward silence, the queen nodded and asked, "Where is your cousin Eriol?"
"I did not see him, mother,"
"I see,"
"I think he must've left on some trip before the fire started," Xiao Lang thought out loud.
"Probably,"
A wash of silence suddenly fell over the village. Xiao Lang looked at his village. "What's wrong?" He asked.
Light foot steps meet his reply. A young girl in pink came out into the opening. All the men left in the village had their mouths open; drool was coming out of their mouths.
"I am Kinomoto Sakura. I come from the Kinomoto village," She said quietly. Her voice was something very beautiful and full of life. Xiao Lang stared at her. She seemed so familiar. "Um, I met a young boy somewhere near here who warned me about the fire that had befallen his village," All the Li village members had their eyes on Xiao Lang. Eyeing him suspiciously. "I have come back with some of my brother's guards that will lead you to my village. But first, may I talk to the Queen please?" Sakura asked.
"You may," Yelan walked over gracefully to Sakura. Sakura flushed red looking at the beautiful woman.
"Um, some of the guards would like try and stop the fire in your village…if you want to that is," Sakura said, her head down.
"Young girl, you are the princess no? You do not have to feel embarrassed. Your speech was well said. Your guards may look at my village,"
"But they aren't my guards,"
"No buts, you are the princess they should be yours too,"
"Thank you,"

Every few moments Xiao Lang would glance at the Princess as they walked toward her village. Her long hair was like the wind and her smile was so delicate and soothing.
"Xiao Lang," The queen stated, pulling him out of his trance,
"Yeah? I mean, yes?" He asked quickly walking in pace with his mother who had been talking with the Princess.
"Princess Sakura, this is my son Xiao Lang,"
"Syaoran…"
Xiao Lang flinched at the way she had pronounced his name.
"Xiao Lang, this is Kinomoto, Sakura."
"Nice to meet you, Syaoran-kun," Sakura smiled.
The queen watched as her son's hard eyes started to soften up at the sight of the princess' smile.
"Uh, nice to meet you Kinomoto,"
"You can call me Sakura," Sakura grinned,
"Oh, um, nice to meet you Sakura," Syaoran blushed.
Sakura smiled.
The Queen smirked. This young girl may help my son realize something… Yelan thought.
Sakura blabbered on and on about her village. She asked Syaoran about his, but he didn't answer. "Oh, oh well. By the way, my birthday's today! I'm thirteen! What about you?"
"Fourteen," He muttered under his breath.
"One year, huh? So you're the prince of your village?"
"Yeah,"
"I'm the princess!"
"Oh,"

After a couple minutes...
Sakura smiled as she led the Li village into her brother's throne room. When Yelan meet Sakura's brother's eyes, she gasped.
"YOU!"
