Sakura The Mermaid Princess
Chapter 7:
Sakura gave Syaoran one last look as she started swimming towards Tomoyo. When she reached Tomoyo, Tomoyo had a worried look on her face as she was holding Sakura's hands.
"Sakura!!!!!, You can be reckless sometimes can't you" said Tomoyo with a upset look on her face.
"But at least I was right after all" said Tomoyo with a small smile on her face.
"Right about what?"asked Sakura with a small confused look on her face.
"You and the human prince were meant to meet again and because of that you seem more happier" answered Tomoyo.
Sakura didn't say anything but she had small blush across her face.
"Well if you are going to stay here and not say anything then I'll just go back to the palace before your Mother and Father finds out your missing" said Tomoyo as she dived into the water.
"Sakura, I know that you are in love with him but because of this, it will difficult for you. I pray that you won't it hurt on the way and hope you know what you are going to do in the future" said Tomoyo to herself as she slowly swam, heading back to the Kinomoto palace.
"You are so mean Tomoyo!!!!!!!" said Sakura with a little whinnying tone as she dived into the water following Tomoyo back to the palace.
Syaoran look at that the sea with a small smile on his face.
"I hope we meet again too, mermaid" said Syaoran to himself as the wind blew gentle.
There was silence until he heard the footsteps from before coming closer. Syaoran was shocked and was waiting for the person to come standing still and bravely until the person finally approached.
"Syaoran?!" said Eriol in a surprising tone as he look at Syaoran that he dropped his book and slowly went up to him.
"Eriol, What are you doing here?!?!?" asked Syaoran surprisingly as he went towards Eriol and picked up the book that he dropped.
"After I saw you running I went to my room. When I got to my room finishing reading my book, I went to the window to look at the view and then I saw you running far away from the palace towards the ocean so I went outside looking for you. Suddenly I heard a beautiful voice singing, so I decide to followed it but the voice stopped near the beach. I went to the beach and that when I saw you" answered Eriol.
"So, did you find the girl that save your life?"asked Eriol with a friendly smile on his face.
"Yes, I found her singing here while she was sitting and looking at the ocean " answered Syaoran with a gentle smile on his face which surprised Eriol.
"So where is she?!, I want to meet her" said Eriol as he was looking around.
"She left when she heard your footsteps" said Syaoran with a upset look on his face.
"I am sorry Syaoran" said Eriol with a sorry look on his face.
"I know that you didn't mean to, it okay" said Syaoran as he gave Eriol a pat on his back.
"When you see her again can you tell her I'm sorry for scaring her off and she has a beautiful voice" asked Eriol.
"Yeah, sure man" answered Syaoran with a friendly smile on his face which made Eriol relief.
"Let get back to the palace, Aunt and Uncle are waiting for us to eat breakfast"said Eriol.
"Okay" said Syaoran as they left the beach and started to walk back to the palace. On there way back Syaoran look inside the book that Eriol had in his hand and saw that it had a picture of a mermaid which kind of look like Sakura which surprised him.
"Eriol, where did you found this book?" asked Syaoran with a serious tone as he stop walking and show Eriol the picture of the mermaid in the book.
"Oh that book, I found it in the palace's library last night on the back of the bookshelf when I was putting away books " said Eriol as Syaoran handed the big dark blue book to him and Eriol look at the picture of the mermaid and then closed the book gently.
"What is the book about?" asked Syaoran now curious as he looked at Eriol.
"It talks mermaids, it's very interesting even though it old and doesn't have a title or even the name of the author in any matter. Anyway, it does has interesting information about mermaids that I never knew and also talks about a legend of a mermaid becoming human" said Eriol which surprise Syaoran, leaving them in silence for a while until Eriol broke it when his stomach started to growled.
"Now come on let's go, I'm getting very hungry and Aunt and Uncle won't be happy if we keep them waiting so long" said Eriol as he started walking.
"Okay, by the way can I borrow that book?" asked Syaoran with a serious tone and look on his face.
"Sure I just finished reading it anyway but why do you want to read this book? you usually don't read books unless you are force to by Aunt Yelan or read books on your own spare time for that matter" said Eriol as he looked at Syaoran.
Syaoran didn't response as he started walking back to the palace.

Sakura was in her room alone sitting on her bed, brushing her long wavy light brown hair humming happily and with a cute smile on her face.
Suddenly Sakura heard a knock coming from her door, which surprise her a little.
"Sakura, can I come in for a second? " asked Queen Nadeshiko as she knocked at Sakura's door.
"Yes Mother" said Sakura as she swan towards the door and open it seeing her mother smiling and both went to Sakura's bed to sit down.
"You seem very happy today" said Queen Nadeshiko with a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Sakura.
"Do you think so?" asked Sakura as she look at her Mother with a confused tone.
"Yes, I could hear you humming when I came to the door" said Queen Nadeshiko which made Sakura blush lightly from embarrassment.
"So Sakura, did something good happen to you this morning that you are not telling me?" asked Queen Nadeshiko.
"You could say that" answered Sakura with a smile and a lightly blush across her face which made Queen Nadeshiko surprise and felt a little sad but she hide it well from Sakura by smiling, so Sakura won't feel upset about it.
"Oh by the way, your father and I are throwing a ball tonight for the neighboring kingdoms, so you should start getting ready soon" said Queen Nadeshiko as she changed the subject, telling Sakura the main reason why she wanted to talk to her at the first place.
"Yes Mother" said Sakura calmly until she realized something.
"Mother does that mean Tomoyo is coming?!" asked Sakura hopefully.
"Yes of course, she and Queen Sonomi are coming, after all she is your best friend and the princess of the Daidouji kingdom" answered Queen Nadeshiko which made Sakura very happy.
"I don't mean to ask but why does Father is throwing a ball for the neighboring kingdom tonight if he threw me a ball for my birthday last night?" asked Sakura looking at her Mother with a confused look on her face.
"Your Father says that he wants you to meet a person from one the neighboring kingdoms and get to know the person better" answered Queen Nadeshiko which gave Sakura a surprise look on her face.
"Does it have to do with the person I was suppose to meet last night?!, I wonder what Mother and Father are planning to do when I meet him" thought Sakura as she thinking about the conversation they has at the night before her birthday with a worried look on her face.
"Sakura dear, what wrong?" asked Queen Nadeshiko as she touched Sakura's right shoulder with a worried look on her face.
"Nothing Mother!!!, nothing wrong at all, just thinking about something" said Sakura with a small smile on her face as she look at her Mother, so she won't feel worry.
"Are you sure?" asked Queen Nadeshiko as she look at Sakura carefully.
"Yes Mother, so please don't worry about me, it make me feel bad when I see sad" answered Sakura.
"Well okay Sakura, just please get ready for the ball okay sweetie? I don't want you to be late to the ball since this ball is important to your Father" asked Queen Nadeshiko as she swan to the door.
"Yes Mother I get ready soon so please worrying, Oh Mother by the way....." said Sakura as she got up from her bed and swam toward her Mother giving her a hug.
"Thank you for the pearl hair pin!!!!, I love it!!!! and I'll promise that I will take good of it!!!!" said Sakura with a happy look on her face making Queen Nadeshiko happy.
"I know you will, that why your Father and I gave it to you as your birthday present at the first place" said Queen Nadeshiko as she gave Sakura a kiss on her right cheek as she left Sakura's room.
Queen Nadeshiko quietly made her way to the palace main gates and made it outside without been notice. She swam a little far and then up to the surface to the beach where Sakura dragged Syaoran as she looked at a palace where Syaoran live for a while with a sad look on her face.
"Sakura I know you are happy because you were able to see that human prince again but because of this it I'm afraid this will make it more difficult for you to be happy together even though you don't relies it yet for what is going to happen for now on" said Queen Nadeshiko to herself as she countied to look at the palace with sad look on her face.
