Disclaimer: Okay you know the drill. CCS doesn't belong to me and never will...unless I
win the lottery and buy it from them..*thinks*...but that's most likely not to happen...
anyway, but I guess the story doesn't either seeing as how I got the idea from a book I'm
reading...oh, well. ON WITH THE STORY!

Li Syaoran walked the halls of the large castle, a servant and two guards accompanying him.
He sensed magic from the little servant man but noticed nothing out of the others. Before
entering the castle, the servant had asked him to remove his sword for the safety of the
queen for the Romans were beginning to attack the lands around this small island. Syaoran
had been invited to his cousin's feast, a grand feast at that. It was a feast to
congratulate the birth of a special child. A child said to be the "one"(Has nothing to do
with the story). Syaoran, being one of the fellow islands' to-be-King, was invited to the
feast as a guest of honor. The feast was celebrated a little more because it was the mark
of his eighteenth birthday. He growled at the thought. He loathed this day because he
knew his mother would be forcing him into marriage so he could rightly take his place upon
the throne.
He shook the thought from his mind. He didn't want to think about that right now, he was
here to celebrate the birth of the gifted child and that's all.
The servant led him to a large room where the feast had already begun to be celebrated.
The tables formed a horseshoe around a small fire pit in the middle. Servant girls walked
from table to table, serving the occupants wine and orderves, also receiving some unwanted
glances and stares from the lustful men.
Syaoran ignored the looks he got from some people who didn't know who he was. His cousin
said she wouldn't introduce him to everyone as Syaoran requested. He continued walking
around the tables to where the head chair was his cousin sitting there. When she noticed
him, she stood from her seat and smiled at him.
"I'm glad you could make it, Syaoran." She said with a bow.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, Meiling." A small grin adorned his lips as he bowed in
returned. They took their seats, Syaoran receiving the seat right next to Meiling.
Sitting next to him were two large men, one he noticed being a Saxon, the other was man he
knew already, he was Meiling' s husband.
A few minutes later, a servant girl came over to their table, pouring wine into the
goblets. She reached the Saxon and he gave her a lustful look. The girl had short auburn
hair and amazing emerald green eyes. The Saxon reached for her wrist when she went to
serve Syaoran and held her where she stood.
"Hey, beautiful. What else do you serve for?" he asked with a smug grin, thinking he was
something of a high rank. Syaoran could see the gesture was unwanted towards the girl as
she tried to free her wrist. Syaoran grabbed the Saxon's wrist as well, getting his
attention.
"I suggest you let the girl go...now." His grip tightened on the other man's wrist, the
Saxon wincing in pain. The Saxon immediately let go of her wrist and Syaoran released
his wrist when he did so. He could hear Meiling' s husband trying not to laugh at the
color of the Saxon's face. He couldn't tell if it was white with fear or red with anger,
but Syaoran knew he wouldn't be doing much at the feast other then eating.
The girl kept moving along, serving Syaoran next. She smiled at him and he returned it
with a grin. She went to serve Meiling and when she did, Meiling gently took her hand,
asking for the girl to come closer. She whispered something in her ear and the girl
nodded then continued pouring wine before returning to her kin. When she did, she lightly
touched at Syaoran' s hand, moving in up his arm and around his neck before sitting in a
chair with other people, a couple tables away from him.
Meiling smiled at his face. "She's yours for the night. But she is expecting to be paid
well in the morning." She said, then looked to her left and continued on with her
conversation with the person sitting there.
Syaoran blushed. How would he repay her? The only piece of jewelry he had on him was
the large, green broach that kept his cloak together. It was a large emerald. The price
was high enough for the money to serve nearly a whole village with grains and meat. He
smiled. That would do.

About an hour later, the food began to arrive. Again the girl served him. She held out a
plate to him and when he went to reach for it, her hand touched his momentarily, she most
likely planned for it, but he's not complaining. He smiled up at the girl and she smiled
brightly back at him. He liked her smiles. She looked like an angel when she did. A
beautiful angel sent down to earth to help him in life. But to his disappointment she
then left to go back to her kin to eat too.

After the delicious meal, it was dessert but Syaoran' s stomach disagreed. He was too
full from all the food he just ate. Meiling nodded in understanding and signaled for the
girl to come back. Syaoran had already agreed to stay the night the other day but he
didn't expect to be sharing a bed. The girl came over quickly, to Syaoran' s liking,
still smiling. Meiling instructed for her to show him his room and then whispered
something in her ear again. The girl blushed this time but the smile remained. She
took Syaoran' s hand and led him out of the large room into a different corridor then
the one he had ventured into before. She took him to a hall that had only one door that
was at the end. She opened the door and she let him enter first. The room was just as
large as the one back home, maybe even bigger. He took off his green mantle (A/N: it's
like a cloak only it has armored shoulders.) and set it down in a chair. He watched as
the girl entered the room and closed the door behind her. He heard a clicking sound a
guessed it was the door locking itself.
He smirked at the girl. "What is your name?" he asked her gently.
"S-Sakura K-Kinomoto sire." She said with her head down, hiding the face he liked so much
from her view.
"I see. Well, Sakura, I want to know more about you. Surely a beautiful girl 0like you
must have some tales to tell." He sat on the large bed, gesturing for her to sit next to
him. He had expected her to blush, but to his surprise, she just smiled again and sat not
far away from him.
"Um...well...I live in the village and I had volunteered to serve at the banquet because
I need some more money so I could go to school. My father's an archeologist so he got
invited. I also wanted to do this because I'd like to know more about The Lady's friends.
Um...are you a friend of hers?" she asked shyly, nudging her bottom lip between her teeth.
"I'm one of her cousins. I live not far from here. Tomorrow...I'll be the King of my
island..." he said grimly, looking at his hands that were in his lap.
She blinked. "And...you don't want that?" she dared to ask. She knew she shouldn't ask
royalty about personal things like this but she has a bad habit of not knowing when to
shut her mouth.
"I look forward to becoming King but it's just...I need to get married and that's the part
I don't like" he told her. Syaoran felt like he was at the counselor's again like when he
had a temper tantrum about becoming King when he was young. He seemed at ease talking to
Sakura.
"Oh...I- uh..." she didn't know what to say to that and blushed in embarrassment. Then
what Lady Meiling had told her came back to her. She turned to Syaoran and grabbed his
face in her hands, pulling his face to hers and kissing him.
Syaoran' s eyes bugged out. As the great sensations on his lips spread through his body,
he began to kiss her back, pulling her towards him. He then realized that he had never
gotten this close to a girl and in such a short period of time too. He lowered her to the
bed as his lips worked against hers. She began to untie his green tunic as he left her
lips and began to kiss down to her shoulders, pulling down the strap of her light pink
dress to give him easier access to her silky smooth skin. She finished undoing the tunic
and took it off him, sliding her hands up and down his muscular arms. She didn't know he
was this strong because of the tunic but now that she could clearly see his chest made the
heat passing through her body increase. She had admired him since he had gotten rid of
the Saxon and his handsome features increased that admiration to some sort of affection.
Syaoran flipped them over on the bed and proceeded to strip her of the light gown. He
undid the laces in the back and she helped him pull it over her head, the kiss only being
broken to bring it over her head then they started to "neck" again (A/N: eeeh hehehe I
learned that word in French class-sadly-and it sounds funny^^). He flipped them over
again for him to be on top of her again and he pulled away from the kiss and looked her
over. Truth be known, he was a virgin, even though ever girl seemed to want him. And
that brings up the question he's been asking himself for a while now...why this certain
girl?
'Because she's not a selfish bitch like all the others and she doesn't care if I'm royalty
or not' he thought in self-explanatory as he kissed her again.
While he thought this, Sakura had some thoughts of her own.
'W-why am I going this far? I don't even know him...Oh no! Crap! I've...fallen for
him haven't I? One thing father kept telling me was to not fall for a prince because
they'll just use you. But...he doesn't seem like the type to do that...' she thought,
kissing him back, her hands traveling down his washboard stomach towards the hem of his
leggings. She pulled them down slowly and heard him groan, she presumed in agonizing
pleasure. Now she was only left in her underwear (I have no clue what they wear in those
times...*heh heh*) and he quickly removed her of them, throwing them to the floor with the
rest of their clothes. He positioned himself above her and he saw her close her eyes
tight. She knew this would hurt, it always hurts the first time. Sakura felt him stiffen
atop her and then he slowly got off her, moving to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Wh-what's wrong?" she asked bringing the sheets up to cover her naked body, placing a
gentle hand on his shoulder.
He threaded his fingers through his bangs and she heard him sigh heavily. "I'm...sorry
for taking advantage of you." He said, never looking at her.
She frowned. "What makes you think that you're taking advantage of me?"
He looked at her and his hazel eyes seemed to sparkle with remorse. "Because...I don't
know! I just don't feel right..." she said softly.
Her frown deepened. "Is-is it me?" she asked him.
He waved his arms all around in a wild gesture. "No no! It's defiantly not you. You're
the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." He paused and saw her blush from his compliment
and smiled for a second but it quickly disappeared. "It's just...I don't want to be one
of those kings who have something like six wives. I want to be a noble King."
She smiled this time. "And I'm sure you will be. Now come, we'll just talk."
He turned to her and smiled back then nodded. He crawled over on the bed and sat next to
her and Sakura brought the sheets over them. They both sat against the headboard of the
bed, not speaking, causing an awkward silence to fill the room.
"Sakura...I like you." He said out of no where, almost surprising her.
A blush immediately tinted her cheeks and she looked down to try and hide it from him.
"I like you too, sire." She responded quietly.
He smiled and tilted her face up so he could see her face. "Please, call me Syaoran."
She smiled and nodded. He leaned down and warmed her lips with his momentarily then
pulled back and smiled to which she returned.
"Sakura...I'm going to ask you something and I don't want you to say, 'yes' just because I'm
of royalty, okay?" he asked, his expression serious.
She nodded slowly, a puzzled look upon her features.
He pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. "I...I want you to become my wife." He
whispered into her ear and heard her gasp like he had expected.
"B-but si-Syaoran..." she began but he cut her off, pulling back from her so he could look
at her face.
"Sakura, please hear me out..." he started and she nodded. "I've never gotten this close
to a woman, emotionally and physically, like I have to you. There's just something about
you that makes me want to be with you forever." His eyes changed to some kind of worried
look. "Something inside of me keeps telling me not to let you slip between my fingers..."
his voice got softer with every word he said, his head bowing down in the end.
Sakura just stared at him, dumbfounded. Just like him, she could feel something telling
her the same thing to her as it did to him. Could it be that they were destined? But she
was just a peasant and he a prince, how could they live together? What she had said before
was true; she did really like him. She had always thought that Kings and princes were mean
to women, especially virgin women but Syaoran proved her wrong, he's been very nice to her,
he even stopped when he could have taken her because he thought he was taking advantage of her.
Hesitantly, her hands came up to be around his waist and she went to get closer to him but
stopped, unsure if she was allowed.
Syaoran smiled at her and pulled her to him, crushing her close. "It's alright if you
don't want to become my wife." He said softly but Sakura could tell he was trying to stay
strong, failing miserably at it too.
She buried her face in the crook of his neck and smiled. "And if I want to...?" She asked.
He pulled back and looked wide-eyed at her. "Y-you mean...you'll...I" any other words were
cut off by Sakura's lips on his, moving against them almost hungrily. Syaoran smiled into
the kiss. This was something he'll easily get used to, and of course that didn't bother
him at all, because he could feel her acceptance in their kiss they presently shared.
