Turned Crowned Prince
Chapter One: Prince What?!
By: aieK
…x…
- Royal Palace in China -
"Your Highness, until now, the Crowned Prince is not yet found,"
Yelan kept on tapping her finger on her lap. "Is that so?"
Royal Family of China – the current King, Emperor Xiao Lung, just died and China is getting read for her new King. But unfortunately, the next heir is nowhere to be found.
"Don't let the citizen know this yet. We still need to look for him," the queen informed the Royal Secretary as she stood up and left for her room to think.
.x.
- Japan -
"What?"
"Guess what!"
"The what?"
Eriol sighed and rubbed his temples. "Now I hate you."
Syaoran just chuckled. "Okay, okay. What is it?" he asked one more time.
Eriol sat on the opposite chair and smiled at Syaoran. "We have a gig," he told him. "In the Royal Palace," he continued as if reading Syaoran's mind.
Syaoran dropped his drumsticks he was holding due to surprise. "No way."
"Yes way, man! We'll play in the Royal Palace!" Eriol said and they gave each others high five. "I've told it to the others too. Takashi got to exaggerated."
Syaoran smirked. "Knowing him," he said as he picked up his drumsticks. "Why will we play there anyway?" he changed the topic, just to spend the time.
Eriol fell silent for a while to think of the answer. "The Royal Palace is planning on having a celebration for the birthday of the Princess, don't you know that?"
"Oh," is what Syaoran just replied. "That's cool. We're not even famous but they'll let us play there. Coolest," he remarked.
Eriol smirked. "That's why, man! I'm also confused with that. But anyway, we've got to prepare to that occasion, we don't know, we might get famous because of that."
"Yeah." And they both stood up and went on their practice room.
.x.
The day of the party arrived and Wolf's Lair, the band of Syaoran, was already on the Royal Palace of Japan to prepare. Of course, all of them were amazed with the structure of the place, very amazed.
"This is so cool here, man," Syaoran muttered, looking around the place. Even the ceilings were more amazing than he thought.
Eriol elbowed him. "Stop gawking around, Syaoran. You might hit some things there," he joked. Syaoran just glared at him as they followed the Royal Secretary, Yukito Tsukishiro.
"I hope you'll be comfortable in this room. The party will start in ten minutes, so I assume all of you will be preparing yourselves while in this room," Yukito said as he opened the room.
All of the guys gawked in amazement. The room is big and is well-lighted. It's really hard to explain the elegance of the room.
"So I'll be leaving you here," Yukito bowed at them. The others also bowed back as Yukito left them.
Takashi, the bassist, sat comfortably on the sofa. "Man, this is soft. I wonder if I'll be living in a place like this," he said. All the guys laughed at his comment.
"Stop daydreaming, dude. We've got a load to do," Rei, the band's lead guitarist and vocalist, said as he put his electric guitar down.
Syaoran nodded. "Yeah, I agree. This is too much pressure because it's our first time to play here," he spoke, his voice full of nervousness. He walked around the room and saw a picture of the Royal Family, the current King, King Fujitaka, the Queen Nadeshiko and the child Crowned Prince Touya. Then he looked to another one, a separate picture of the Princess when she was still a little girl with her cousin, Princess Tomoyo. The Royal Family sure has too many connections.
Eriol suddenly spoke. "So, guys, what songs will we play? We practiced so many songs for this party."
"Stick with the first line-up. As long as the time allows us to play, we'll keep on playing up to our line-up 3," Rei answered, sitting on the sofa.
Syaoran sat with him on the sofa and noticed a big portrait, well not really big, on the other side of the room. He noticed the necklace that is worn by the late King, a necklace similar to his. 'How come?' he thought to himself, as he took out his necklace. A necklace formed into a sword. He, then, brushed the thought and sighed to get himself relaxed.
.x.
The crowd cheered for the performance of the Wolf's Lair. They just gave a blazing performance, the best performance they ever gave.
"Thank you for the opportunity to play here. We are really glad to perform here," Rei said. Then he and the others went down of the stage. They headed straight to the table reserved for them.
"Man, that was so tiring," Eriol commented as he drank his water. "I can't believe we'll be performing for two hours straight. Didn't they ask other bands to play as well?" He put down his glass on the table and sighed.
"But I liked our performance," Syaoran said as he started eating. Yeah, the waiters just gave them food to eat right after the performance. Then he remembered that he has a work to do also in the restaurant owned by his surrogate father. "Oh crap! I forgot about my part-time job on the restaurant!" he exclaimed to his friends. "Dude, I got to go," he said as he was about to leave them.
"Wait, Syaoran! We need to play one last song when the Princess is here," Takashi said, holding Syaoran's arm.
Syaoran looked at them. "But I told Uncle that I'll be there."
Rei begged at him, "Please Syaoran, just one more song and we'll go home all together."
As if fate is with them, the emcee announced something. "The Princess will be coming down so let's call again the Wolf's Lair to perform one last song."
Syaoran just shrugged as all of them went up the stage. 'I hope you understand, Uncle. Just one more song,' he thought as they started playing the songs composed by Eriol.
Just as then, the Princess entered the grand hall. The people bowed at her and she bowed lightly, smiling at them. People greeted her a happy birthday and she thanked them all.
When the band finished playing their last song, Rei talked to his bandmates. "Just one more, a Happy Birthday Song and off we go," he said as the others nodded. He turned to the microphone and smiled. "And for the Princess, this is our gift for you," he announced. And the band started playing a rock version of Happy Birthday.
Upon finishing the song, the Princess stood up from her seat and clapped her hands. She was about to approach them when the band started packing their things. She was near the stage when they went down the stage and left. She just smiled when she saw the panicked face of Syaoran. Then he noticed the bouncing sword necklace on his neck. Her eyes widened. 'A Prince?'
.x.
Syaoran hopped out of Eriol's car. "Thanks guys. I owe you one," he said, smiling at his friends.
Rei just chuckled. "It's all right dude. What are friends for anyway?"
"Yeah," Syaoran laughed. "So, yeah, thanks again."
The car started moving, leaving Syaoran on the other side of the street, just opposite of the restaurant where Syaoran's working. Syaoran was about to cross the street when a black car blocked him.
"What the?" he muttered under his breath. Then two men wearing black hoped out of the car and grabbed him. "Hey! Wait! What are you doing?" he resisted from the grasp.
"Just go with us," one of the men said.
With a split second, Syaoran became unconscious.
.x.
Syaoran opened his eyes and saw he's in a different environment. "Where am I?" he asked himself.
"Xiao Lang!" a female voice said.
Syaoran turned to his left and saw a lady, wearing a Chinese dress, beside the bed. The lady, then, hugged him tightly. "Who are you?" he asked.
The lady broke the hug and smiled at him. "I'm your sister! Xiefu!"
Syaoran raised a brow and normalized his vision. "What? I don't have a sister. And where am I?"
Just then, the door opened, revealing an elegant woman with silky black hair flowing from her back. She walked near Syaoran and hugged her, out of the blue. "Welcome home, Xiao Lang, Prince Xiao Lang," the lady said as she broke the hug.
Syaoran's eyes widened. "Prince what?!"
