The green-eyed, chestnut-brown-haired, girl, to his surprise, could keep up at his pace of walking.

Xiaolang#This girl is pretty different from other girls I've met. Hm, first she is not like snails like the rest . Second, she doesn't throw herself to me. Third, she hasn't talked to me like others who keep yanking away non-stop.#, he shook his head, #Nonono, Li Xiaolang, you're suppose to hate her. Give her the impression that you dislike her a lot and she won't bother you later. Who knows when you're alone with her in the room, she might pull some tricks. And, she is dressed up quite extravagantly, shows that she is vain, quite a bit of her flesh is exposed. #

They reached a grand white door.

"This is your room." Xiaolang said shortly and opened the door, inviting her in.

~*~*~*

"Hai, Arigato Gozaimaste (Thank you)" said Sakura as she walked into an extravagant white-washed room. The whole room was plain luxury. The bed was soft and smooth and velvety; there was a dressing room with a walk in closet. A bathroom furnished with expensive lavatory things was situated at the end of the room.

Meanwhile, Xiaolang was frowning as he couldn't understand what Sakura had just said to him.

"What?"

"Hoe?" asked Sakura, puzzled, "What what?"

"What?" Xiaolang repeated his question.

"What what?" asked Sakura again, she did not know what he actually wanted to ask her.

Xialang groaned inwardly and rubbed his hair, making it messier.

"Forget it." Xiaolang#Aaruugghh. . .this girl is so frustrating!#

Sakura#Hoe. . .this prince is so creepy and cold that he frightens me. . .I better keep away from him more often, just in case he attacks me suddenly.#

Both of them stood in awkward silence, as both did not know what to say to each other. Finally Sakura broke the silence.

"Um. . .I'll go and bathe now."

She moved to her luggage bag and took out another gown which Tomoyo made for her and all the other necessary items to be changed. Sakura glanced at Xiaolang cautiously before going into the bathroom. She stood there admiring the rich bathroom, and accidentally forgot to lock the door, at the same time thinking that Xiaolang was already gone as she could not hear anyone footsteps or whatsoever.

Soon she was enjoying herself in the bathtub, bathing herself in lavender scented foam.

~*~*~*

At the meantime, Xiaolang was standing at the same position as before, wishing he could go back to his room instead of standing there and waiting for that princess.

@ He looked up at his mother suspiciously, "Yes Mother?"

"I would like you to escort the princess of Kinomoto kingdom down for dinner. Our castle is huge, with many staircases and rooms, hence she may be a bit lost." said Yelan firmly, indicating that she would not take "no" as an answer.

Xiaolang groaned. @

He glanced at his watch. It's been twenty minutes since that girl stepped into the bathroom! Xiaolang#She's so slow! I knew it! She's just like a typical ordinary girl.# Marching towards the bathroom, he was determined to make that girl come out of the room. And fast.

~*~*~*

Sakura had stepped out of the bathtub and was wrapping a huge light pink towel over her body, drying herself clean. She sniffed the air which was scented with a nice smell of lavender. As she reached for the gown to be changed in, she heard footsteps drawing nearer. Sakura#I better hurry up or else who knows what that prince could do to me. . .# She shuddered.

~*~*~*

With a determined look on his face, he summoned up all his strength to bang on the door, wanting to scare that princess out of her wits so that she will hurry up and get out of the bathroom quickly. As his fist landed on the door with a loud bang, the entire door opened to reveal the girl with auburn hair and green emerald eyes in a wrapped towel that only covered until her thighs who was trying to get the gown off the hook.. He gasped in shock, unable to speak for a moment. =0) Wai!!!! I'm sooooo evil! Hohohohoho! =0)

~*~*~*

Sakura heard the door bang open and stopped grasping her gown.

With a horrified look,she glanced at her intruder and screamed at the top of her lungs. "HOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!"

Sakura was so shocked at seeing Syaoran in the bathroom that she hesitated for a moment, unable to think straight.

~*~*~*

Syaoran was blushing madly, his face as red as a beetroot. His hands were by his side, clenching and unclenching due to his panic. Syaoran#Aarggh. . .I can't believe that the door was not locked. Now I'm being caught in the bathroom with a girl who is half-naked!#

"I-I'm sorry. . ." he croaked hoarsely

~*~*~*

Sakura jumped when he opened his mouth to apologise. Her face too, was flushed as red as Syaoran. She gaped at him with her mouth wide open, unable to utter a single word. Suddenly realising that she was exposing quite a lot of skin to Syaoran, Sakura clutched her towel tightly around her body.

~*~*~*

Syaoran#Do something, you idiot! Don't just stand there and stare at her!# He felt awfully guilty for barging in like that, but he couldn't help noticing the slim round curves of Sakura's body. The smooth sensual curves made him stare at her more, and he gulped down nervously. For the first time in his life, Syaoran blushed in front of a girl. He couldn't believe that this girl who was standing right in front of him was attracting him, making him feel extremely tensed up. He was beginning to notice the beauty of Sakura, the petite slim body of hers, and her shiny auburn hair. What was most hypnotic about her was her green emerald eyes. Those eyes were beautiful, they were unforgettable.

Suddenly he snapped back to reality and immediately scolded himself for being such a jerk. Imagine him thinking of all those perverted things a moment earlier! Gosh, that was definitely unforgivable of him!

~*~*~*

Sakura blinked at him, totally scared out of her wits. Why was Prince Syaoran staring at her like that? What was the reason? Unless. . .was he thinking of. . . She slowly looked down at her half-covered body, awfully horrified by thinking of what dirty thoughts Prince Syaoran might be thinking of at that moment. Sakura took a step back, trembling from head to toe.

~*~*~*

"Sorry," Syaoran muttered, finally getting his mind straight before walking out of the bathroom. How in the world did he manage to spend such a long time in the bathroom with that princess? Aaargghh. . . What if that princess had a big-mouth? He would be in so much trouble if she spread this incident to everyone. Well, she wouldn't get away with it if she really did it. Smirking in satisfaction, Syaoran walked over to a chair and sat down, resting his legs for a while.

~*~*~*

The moment Prince Syaoran walked out, Sakura rushed over and locked the door. How could she have been so careless and stupid? Oh why, why did she forget to lock the door? She groaned in dismay, her body was almost exposed to that prince, what was she going to do now?

"The first thing is to get myself changed before I think of anything else." Sakura told herself, and reached out for the gown once again. . .

~*~*~*

Meiling stormed furiously up to Fuutie and asked furiously, "Fuutie, do you know which room is Xiaolang in?"

"Er. . ." Fuutie hesitated.

All of a sudden, Feimei walked out. "Even if we know where he is, Mu Qin ordered us not to tell anyone, especially you."

Meiling growled and marched off, determined to find her beloved Xiaolang. She was not going to let her Xiaolang be snatched away from her. No, Xiaolang belonged to her and will always be for eternity. She, would definitely make that Kinomoto Princess pay if Xiaolang didn't want her anymore. . .

~*~*~*

Slowly with carefulness, Sakura stepped out of the bathroom, freshly clad in a beige gown that showed off her womanly curves.

"Are you ready for dinner?" a voice behind her growled gruffly, making her gasp in surprise.

Sakura whirled around gracefully, discovering Syaoran to be glaring at her. She took a few steps back, wishing she was anywhere than near Syaoran! His glare was so frightening! However, Sakura calmed herself down. No way was she going to be afraid of a prince! She took a deep breath and replied in a composed voice, "Yes, I'm ready."

Just as she began walking out of the room, Syaoran shot out an arm and grasped hers in an iron grip on impulse.
