Chapter One - The Princess and the Slave
====================================================
"Princess Sakura?" said a soft voice.
"What?!" Sakura turned around to see her maid Tomoyo looking at her with fear in her eyes.
"I just came to tell you that Prince Touya is ready to go to the Slave Market with you."
"Fine! And Get out of my way!" shouted Sakura as she walked to the door. Tomoyo obeyed.
"Hmph! Stupid maid... doesn't do a thing right!" muttered Sakura as she walked to her brother who was waiting infront of the castle.
"There you are Sakura. What took you so long, Princess?"
"Nothing that matters YOU. Now lets go." And the two headed towards the Slave Market in the town. When they arrived, Sakura got off immedietly and looked around at the slaves. She went towards the boys.
"Sakura, don't you want a maid?"
"No! I'm sick of maids! I want a boy who could fight!" Touya sighed.
"Where did my parents and I go wrong?? She started acting like this 5 years ago, when she wanted to learn fighting" thought the prince, trying to remember when Sakura started acting like this.
[By the way, Sakura and Syaoran are 15 years old. Tomoyo and Eriol are 18 years old. Simply because I said so. I love the powers of the author!]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Father!" shouted a small girl with soft light brown hair.
"Yes my little princess?"
"Stop calling me that! Anyway I wanna learn to fight like the boys!"
"But princesses doesn't fight!" exclamed the queen.
"Yea but monsters do!" Touya said and snickered. Sakura glared at Touya. A Death Glare. Touya didn't see it and started to taunt her.
"I'm a monster! GROWLLL! HAHAHAHHAHA!" Then suddenly, the little princess jumped on the laughing prince and started to scratch him. She scratched him so hard that blood started to show.
"Ahhh!"
"Sakura!!" The enraged king's shout made Sakura stop scratching her brother.
"I don't know where you learned the vicious ways of warriors, but I will not allow my daughter to learn to fight!"
"But Father! I-"
"No buts! You are forbidden to go to the barracks or the training hall! Until I can see that you have become a refined once again, you will not go outside of the castle walls, understood?!" Sakura glared but nodded her head and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Since then I was afraid of her and treated her like a princess she is. Somehow she did learn to fight but not well." thought the prince.
Meanwhile, Sakura looked around the group of boys. Some of them lowered their heads in shame and emberresment. Others stood, looking straight at her eyes, refusing to give up their life. She personally liked the strong ones so she made them seperate into two different groups. One strong and one weak. As she looked around, one caught her interest. He had messy brown hair with amber eyes. His eyes were fearce like a wolf's, showing cunning and experiance. She walked over to him. He wasn't much taller that herself.
"What's your name slave?"
"Syaoran Li." His voice was strong and determind.
"How old are you?"
"15."
"What were you before you became a slave?" asked Sakura, circling him and looking at him with her piercing emerald eyes. Syaoran didn't move or flinch. He stood motionless.
"I was a warrior in training." Sakura smiled.
"I see. So you can fight well? How good were you?"
"I was one of the best of everyone, including some of the adult warriors." Sakura's smile grew larger.
"Good. I am Sakura Kinomoto, Princess of Tomoeda. I will be your master from now on. Touya!"
"Yes?"
"I like him. I want him." Touya looked at Syaoran and instantly hated him. He hated his guts and pride, but Touya had to agree.
"Okay then. I'll get him for you. Why don't you go back in the carrage?" Sakura went back and Touya purchased Syaoran. The three headed back to the castle.

At the castle

"This is your room," said Tomoyo, showing Syaoran into a beautiful room. Almost good as a prince's and very unlike a slave's.
"Why is the room so different from a slave's room?"
"This is the slave's room. People who work for Princess Sakura are well treated even if you are a slave or a maid. Other people's maid, butlers, and slaves are treated bad though. Sakura is fair. She isn't as bad as everyone thinks. She used to be a sweet girl." Tomoyo's eyes were wet with tears. The memories flooded back to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tomoyo-chan! Look, look!" Tomoyo smiled at the innocence of the 5 year old girl.
"What is it Princess Sakura?"
"Mou! I told you not to call me a princess!" Sakura pouted.
"I'm SO sorry Sakura-chan! Please spare the pain!" The girls started to giggle.
"Anyway, what was is that you wanted to show me, Sakura-chan?"
"This!" As Sakura said this, she picked up the most beautiful flower. It was purple with a shade of blue. Tomoyo gasped.
"Isn't it beautiful, Tomoyo-chan? I think it will go well on you hair. Here bend down!" Tomoyo did as she was told. When Sakura was done, she looked at Tomoyo up and down and nodded as if she was admiring her work.
"Yep! I knew it!" Sakura and Tomoyo giggled and spent the day playing and picking flowers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If she was so nice, why is she like this now?"
"I'm sorry. I don't know well myself. But I do know it has to do something with her cousin..."
"I see..."
"MAID! TOMOYO! WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!"
"Uh oh.... Princess seems mad. I have to go!" And Tomoyo hurried out the door.
"Hmm...."
