Chapter 5:
Sakura was trying to enjoy herself for Tomoyo's sakes but it was no use. Sakura was about to leave then someone tap her shoulder and when Sakura turned around, she found out it was Daisuke.
"Are you feeling okay Princess?" asked Daisuke with a worried look on his face.
"Yes!, I fine!, Don't worry about me!" answered Sakura while smiling to hid the pain.
"You don't need to smile for me you know, "said Daisuke
"What do you mean" asked Sakura
"It not okay for you to smile if you don't feel like it, it's just like your lying to yourself" said Daisuke with a consider tone.
"Okay, thank you Daisuke" said Sakura with a real smile on her face.
"It was nothing Princess" said Daisuke with a big blush on his face.
"Since we're friends, call me Sakura okay?" asked Sakura.
"Okay, Sakura" answered Daisuke with a gentle smile on his face.
Without them knowing King Fujitaka and Queen Nadeshiko were looking at Sakura and Daisuke while talking with each other silently.
"See, I told you that they would get along just fine" said King Fujitaka with a proud smile on his face.
"I see that but Sakura doesn't know that he is a Prince." said Queen Nadeshiko with a worried tone.
"Don't worried honey, look!!, they seem happy together" said King Fujitaka as he left to talk with the other important guest.
"Yes they are happy with each other dear, but Sakura only see him as a friend for she is already in love with some else who is not of this world" said Queen Nadeshiko to herself as she went outside to the garden.

Prince Syaoran Li was outside of the palace looking straight at the sea with a sad look.
The boy was the same age the Syaoran, he was wearing a plain black coat with black pants.
"Eriol, what are doing here?" asked Syaoran surprisingly as he look that a boy with neat sapphire hair and glasses.
"I was going to ask you the same thing" said Eriol with a smile on his face.
"I just wanted to see the ocean" said Syaoran with a serious tone.
"Does it have to do with the "beautiful girl" who "reused" you from the shipwreck" said Eriol satirically.
"Shut up man!!, I telling you that she was real and I am going to find her!!" said Syaoran with determent tone and look on his face.
"How do you know that she wasn't a figure of your imagination?" asked Eriol as he was trying to prove Syaoran wrong.
"I know because I felt the girl's hands when she was holding my right hand with that beautiful smile and those beautiful emerald eyes of her" said Syaoran with serious look.
"Well than, I am not going to stop you" said Eriol as he sighed as he look at Syaoran.
"However, Do you have any idea where to start looking?" asked Eriol calmly.
"Well, I was thinking that if I wait by the beach where the girl took me, maybe she will come back" answered Syaoran.
"And then what?" asked Eriol with a serious tone.
"I am going to ask her for her name and take her to meet Mother" said Syaoran with a serious tone and look on his face.
"What!!!, You just meet that girl this morning and you are going to take her to meet the Queen!!!??" asked Eriol with a surprise tone.
"Yes, that way I can get to know her better" answered Syaoran calmly as the wind blew gentle leaving silence between the two.
