Neirata: Hello, Sakura. The setting sun pales in comparison to your beauty this afternoon.
Sakura was unmoved by this for some reason. It did not make her happy the way it did when Syaoran had complemented her.
Sakura: Thank you, Neirata. I accept the complement. Have you seen Syaoran?
Neirata: I did. He was heading to his cabin in the village.
Sakura: Thank you. Good-bye.
Neirata: WAIT!
Sakura paused and turned around.
Neirata: Where are you going?
Sakura: To see Syaoran of course. I... I have to tell him something very important to me.
Sakura turned to walk away, but soon gave up searching in town for Syaoran. To tell the truth, she had no idea where he lived.
When she got back to the casle she went strait to her courters and slept.
[Three weeks later]
Sakura walked into the breakfast room to find Neirata and Touya.
Neirata: Ohayo, Sakura-hime.
Sakura: Ohayo, Touya-nii. Nairata-kun. Have you two seen Syaoran recently?
Touya: Hai. He works at the excavation site and reports once a week.
Sakura: Why didn\\\'t you tell me?!
Touya: Because, you would have just begged to come to the meetings and made such a big fuss, kaiju-hime.
Sakura: NII-SAN!
Neirata: King Touya, that is no way to speak to a younger sister!
Touya: We tease each other all the time!
Neirata: But it lacks respect!
Nairata walked over to Sakura and brought her hand to his lips.
Neirata: I apologize for your brother\\\'s rudeness.
Sakura: ano...
Nairata: Did you know? Tomorrow there is a ball celebrating the halfway point of the excavation! Would you care to be my dance partner, Sakura-hime?
Sakura: ie-
A quick look at Touya made Sakura think twice about her answer.
Sakura: H... Hai, Nairata-kun.
Nairata: Just Nairata is fine.
Sakura: I\\\'ll stick with -kun anyways, Nairata-kun.
Neirata: Oh... See you at the ball, then.
His usual composure was shattered.
At the ball...
Neirata: Sakura, you look... stunning.
Sakura was wearing a plain pink dress that went down to her ankles and had speghetti strap shoulders.
Sakura: Arigato, Neirata-kun.
Neirata: Shall we go?
Sakura paused.
Sakura: Yes.
Putting her hand on his arm, they walked into the ballroom.
The ballroom...
All eyes were on the princess. She was absolutly stunning. The pink dress pulled in all the pight places and seemed to magnify her presence. To put it simply she was the main attention of the ballroom, and she did the only thing she could do. Smile.
Neirata: Let\\\'s go.
They walked down the steps, all eyes were on them. On Neirata in his pure white suit and Sakura in her cherry blossom pink dress Said girl was looking around the ballroom for a certain little wolf, only to give up in defeat. As a song was sticken up after they took their seats, Neirata spoke up.
Neirata: Would you like to dance?
Sakura: Hai.
They danced to the waltz, and a great many others, until a little before midnight. Neirata and Sakura had been resting on the balcony with stairs leading to the garden. A quick waltz was sticken up and Neirata spoke up.
Neirata: Would you like to dance?
Sakura: iieh. I\\\'d like to find Syaoran so I can share the last dance with him, it\\\'s coming soon.
Here\\\'s a cliffhanger for the next chapter. Jah-neh!
IT\'S WORKING! YAY! Yes, still fixing the order. -_-; |
