Summary of story:
Sakura is a princess of the Kinomoto kingdom quite obvious really ^-^
and her brother is Prince Touya. Touya has always been concerned and protective of his
little sister. So far, he has managed to *scare* away all of Sakura's suitors, with a little
encouragement on Sakura's part. However, their father has given him a direct order not to
do anything to visiting princes, after scaring away approximately nine hundred and
ninety-nine suitors. Sakura formulated a plan where she trained her skills with Touya,
trying to be the elite and succeeding. With a little secret help from her big brother,
Sakura, um, discourages them, in no gentle way. When they persist, she, to put it in a
very *mild* way, *discards* of them. Then, something comes along and messes up all
her plans. Before they realize it, Touya finds his little Sakura betrothed to the prince of
the Li Kingdom with her life trusted to none other than Li Syaoran.

Chapter 1: 'Despicable Actions'
"Leave." she said coolly, sword-tip pointed at his throat.
Those who do not know her well would have thought this tall, slender girl with the beautiful light brown hair was indifferent and cared less about this matter.
But if they look closer, they would see that her usually serene and clear emerald eyes had darkened and were now snapping with fury, boring a hole into the shivering man's face whose knees felt like jelly.
The poor man looked dazed, seemingly unable to collect his thoughts after the pretty and fragile woman had shoved a sword at his neck and boy, the sword was very sharp.
*^*^*^*^*
Kero had watched from the window overlooking the court-yard.
He felt a tingle of pride as he watched his mistress handle the smooth- talking jerk efficiently.
Shaking his head sadly, he thought in almost-pity. Almost*. [They just never learn.]
The prince had approached Sakura, time and time again, despite the unspoken warnings and hostility from the Kinomoto princess and her brother.
He had flirted shamelessly with Sakura and even went to the point of suggestive and snide remarks, vile comments and loathsome gestures.
Finally, when he suggested that why don't the two of them go to his room and make themselves comfortable whilst placing his hand on her thigh, Sakura had gone beyond tolerance and hot-red anger filled her eyes. Shoving his hand away, she kneed his groin none-too-gently and kicked him ten yards away expertly.
The man narrowed his eyes, unwilling to be beaten by what he viewed as a lowly wrench, merely a toy for his pleasure. He resented the fact that she had rejected his offer of sharing his bed which so many women would have gladly taken up, thrown by his good looks. And not only that, she had hit him. No one, NO ONE, had ever dared to mess with him, the powerful heir to the La Aries Kingdom.
No one, that is, aside from Sakura Kinomoto.
Taking out his sword, he charged at the previously un-armed Sakura.
When his sword was slicing down, ready to cut this wrench into a million pieces, he saw a quick silver flash of sword glinting in the sunlight. Before he knew it, his sword had been sent flying out of his hand and he had found himself in this deadly position.
Usually, Sakura would never have tolerated this guy to this point of time but she understood that there was to be an important business deal between their kingdoms and tried her best to bear with this poor excuse for a prince, just for the sake of her respected and loved father, King Fujitaka.
But, this time, the prince of La Aries went too far.
It took every single bit of her willpower not to jam the sword through his throat there and then, ending the life of this pitiful specimen of a human being.
Giving him a look of pure disgust, Sakura slid her sword back into the scabbard slung casually around her waist. Turning away, she walked off in the opposite direction, her light pink aura turning an angry hot pink color. The air around her quivered visibly with her seething anger and her powerful magic.
Jumping up to his feet, he ran and threw a punch wildly at Sakura's back.
Sakura was ready for that. All along, she knew and hoped that he would attack her, so that she would have a reason to hurt this filthy-minded bastard.
The poor fool never stood a chance.
Dodging the punch easily, she spun around, limbs and auburn hair flying around gracefully. Her foot connected with his stomach with a solid 'thud'. She swept her leg up and around, tripping him up. The man fell down heavily with a grunt. With a combination of kick and punches, courtesy of the Princess of the Kinomoto Kingdom, he jumped up with a scream of pain. Knowing his vanity, she delivered two rabbit- punches, giving him two black eyes and promptly broke his nose. Not satisfied with that, Sakura broke both his arms swiftly, so that he could not touch a woman for a few months at the very least.
The idiot collapsed to the ground, sobbing like a baby.
Pathetic fool.
Nothing permanent. His injuries would heal, but he would have learnt a lesson - not all women were weak and welcomed his attentions and *never* ever mess with Sakura Kinomoto.
No permanent injuries. It was one of her rules when getting rid of unwanted men who only wished to bed her or wanted her money and would resort to unspoken means to get what they want, or simply discouraging persistent suitors. Though she had sorely wanted to break the rule and disfigure him for the rest of his miserable life, Sakura controlled herself.
The broken man looked up in fear, looking into the coldest eyes he ever hoped to see.
Giving him a look of pure contempt and revulsion, she said, voice laced with ice, "Go. And never touch a woman who doesn't want to be touched. I never want to see you ever again. If I ever hear of you touching an unwilling woman..."
She let her threat hang in the air.
"You have no sense of honor, attacking a defenseless person from behind. And your vile suggestions and repulsive touch makes me want to puke."
"Never mess with a cherry blossom."
Her cold green eyes chilled him to the depths and he trembled under her icy gaze.
When she finally looked away, he almost cried with fear and relief.
Sakura turned and walked away.

Unknown to all, two separate figures watched them from different locations.
===============================================================
From her personal chambers, Queen Yelan had watched the whole episode from the 'Water of Sight'.
She smiled.
[Perfect.]
===============================================================
From a strong and sturdy branch in a high position which gave him a clear view of the happenings, a figure stepped out of the shadows of the big leafy tree planted just outside the court-yard.
Syaoran Li's mouth curved up slowly in what was a genuine smile, "Interesting."
He had finally found a worthy opponent.
===============================================================
Winged Guardian: So, how do you guys like it? Hey, I apologize. THIS is the actual story - I accidentally replaced it with a work in progress under a different name for me *sheepishly*. Please forget about it. THIS is the one.
Please review and hope you enjoyed reading my fanfic!
