Chapter 1 of Royal Luv~

"MAIDS!! MAIDS!!" A ruffled looking princess yelled at the top of her
lungs. Her long, silk dress flowed back and forth as she paced around her
room. "MAIDS!!!" She shouted again. Her two dark pigtails bounced heavily
on her head.

Two girls around the princess' age appeared in front of the door with
their heads bent low. The princess glided right in front of them and
glowered at their heads. "YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT THIS LONG FOR YOU TO GET
YOUR SORRY BUTTS HERE?!!!" She yelled.

"N...n...no..ma'am." One of the maids said quietly.

"I HOPE NOT!! GET ME A GLASS OF WATER!! NOW!!!" Her waist-long pigtails
jumped up as she screamed.

"Y..yes...ma'am." The two maids stuttered and ran out the door leaving a
flushed princess with a sore throat.

A prince with no paricular royal clothing walked into the room casually.
"Meiling.~ Did you scream at the maids ag..." He never got to finish.

"Syaoran, honey!" Meiling cooed and skittered to him. She linked her
arm around his and tried to give him a peck on the cheek. Prince Syaoran
ducked. *Why doesn't Syaoran coorporate? I'll have to try again.* Meiling
thought.

"I just came to see if everything was all right." He said as he
untangled himself from Meiling.

"Yes darling...everything is all right." She tried to link her arms into
his again, but he moved. "Syaoran~" She pouted.

"I uhm..have some work to do...so...I'll see you at dinner! Uhm....bye."
Syaoran ran out of the room nearly knocking the incoming maid down to the
floor. "Oh! I'm sorry!" He continued running down the hall.

"FINALLY! I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU'D GET ME MY WATER!" Meiling cried out
hoarsely as she took the delicate glass cup into her hands. She gulped it
down and slammed the glass down onto the glass tray the maid was holding.
The tray cracked but didn't break. The maid winced .

Meiling ignored the maid and began whining to herself as she flopped on
her stomach on her bed. "Why doesn't Syaoran show any affection to me? I
mean...we are~ getting married! He never proposed officially but my parents
and his mother agreed ever so to unite us as one. Syaoran didn't complain.
That must be it! He must love me so much.... but... won't show his love
until we marry.. Oh! What a sweetie! Or maybe..." Meiling continued droning
on and on about Syaoran.

The maid tip-toed away, not wanting to bother the princess and her
complaint.

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**

In the royal kitchen:

"Oh Sakura!" The maid who served Meiling's water called out.

"I'm here Tomoyo!" Sakura called back.

"Oh Sakura!! Guess what I've heard?!" Tomoyo voice showed a hint of
excitment.

"Tomoyo. Did you eavesdrop again?" Sakura asked as she began to wash the
enormous pile of dishes. She began to wash the tray that Meiling cracked.
*The princess cracked another tray?! Fifth one this week!* Sakura thought
to herself as she threw the tray away.

"I have nothing better to do when the princess drones about her so-called
Prince." Tomoyo said giggling. "Besides...its funny."

"Tomoyo....really. You shouldn't." Sakura complained to her best friend
stifling a giggle.

"Its okay Sakura! No one knows! I mean besides you and me." Tomoyo
said as she dried up the dishes.

"And me!!" A stuffed animal looking figure appeared from inside the
fridge.

"Yes and you, Kero." Tomoyo included. "But really. All the princess
does is make excuses for Syaoran not showing that he loves her. C'mon. Do
you think that the Prince Syaoran actually loves the princess? I wouldn't
think so....Sakura? Hello.. earth to Sakura!"

"Oh! Yeah! What did you say?" Sakura snapped back to realty. *I have to
stop daydreaming. Tomoyo will think something fishy is going on.* Sakura
thought.

"I asked if you think Prince Syaoran actually likes the princess."
Tomoyo said.

"Oh!" Sakura said. "I wouldn't know. Besides...I don't want to make
comments on the royal couple. Kero! Come out of the fridge. We need to have
some food to cook with." Sakura said and began walk toward the other maids
cooking dinner. She began to drift off and daydream when she banged into a
stove. "Ow!" Sakura rubbed her legs as the pain began to calm down.

"Sakura! Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked in concern.

"Uh..yeah. C'mon let's help Chiharu,Rika, and Naoko make dinner."
Sakura scuttled off.

*Something is definitely wrong with Sakura...hmm..* Tomoyo thought
suspiciously and dismissed the subject.

Kero came out of the fridge looking like Santa Clause. "I'm full." He
moaned.

"For once." Tomoyo said smiling as she carried him toward a cupboard
where he sometimes took naps.

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**

In the Prince Syaoran's room:

"Syaoran, will you please stop banging your head on your desk? You're
breaking it and its giving me a headache." A tall man stood in the corner of
Syaoran's room. His silvery (I think its silver) hair reaching way past the
ground. He looked bored and just stood there , bear footed , with his arms
crossed.

"Sorry Yue." Syaoran said and began to bang his head on his pillow.
*Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid marriage! I never wanted to get married to
Meiling. Of all people. I was so stupid not to say anything when my mom told
me we were getting married! Stupid! Stupid!....(you get the picture)*

Yue looked hopelessly at Syaoran.

"I feel so trapped." Syaoran said quietly as he laid on his bed staring
at the cieling.

"Why is that?" Yue asked knowing Syaoran was going to explain his whole
life story to him again.

"Ever since 4th grade, my mom told me I couldn't capture the cards
because I was a prince. Then she tells me I can't practice magic. But I do
it anyway. Secretly of course. Yue are you listening?" Syaoran asked.

"Yes. Then your mom tells you that you're are going to marry Meiling.
Then you get so upset that your magic is blocked by your anger and so called
depression that you can't sense that strong aura within these walls." Yue
finished looking more bored than ever. "I'm going to stretch my wings out."
With a great thrust, he flew out the gigantic windows.

*Aura?* Syaoran asked himself. *Was my magic really blocked because of
my depression and anger? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Okay. I could do something
about this right? Right. Here goes nothing.*

Syaoran sat calmly on his bed and closed his eyes. He felt relaxed and
his anger released. He concentrated on his magic. Then he felt it. An aura
that was so light, and soft and strong. A gentle, pink aura...that came
from... Syaoran opened his eyes. He couldn't see who the aura was coming
from.

He suddenly felt another aura. An aura like the sun. * How could I have
not felt these before? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!* Syaoran laid on his bed
again restlessly. *I have something to work on now.*

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**

In the maid's chamber:

"Kero!" Sakura said.

"What?" Kero replied as he nibbled on a chip.

"Do you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"That aura..." Sakura looked confusingly at Kero. "How come we never
felt this before?"

"Hmm..." Kero rubbed his 'chin' and thought. *A strong aura. I have
to admit. Greenish, strong aura. Wonder who its coming from? And I feel
Yue's aura. I guess he blocked his from Sakura* (Don't ask how he did it. I
don't know) "I don't know Sakura, but I think you're going have to do some
searching."

"Sakura!" Tomoyo called as she opened the door of the maid's chamber.
"Dinner is served and we have to attend the 'royals'."

Sakura got up and walked with Tomoyo to the dining hall where all the
maids and butler (Its Takashi! Just to let you know.) lined up by the far
wall to provide service when necassary.

Prince Syaoran was the last to arrive to the dining hall. Sakura and the
other maids and butler kept their heads down low to show that they were
humble and that they were of lower class. Sakura felt the green aura again
and lifted her eyes a bit. *It's...its...coming from...Prince Syaoran!*
Sakura thought in surprise and looked back at the floor in amusement.

Prince Syaoran also felt Sakura's aura and was more than surprised to
know it was from her. "Excuse me." Syaoran said as he left the dining table
quietly. *I cannot believe that a maid would have such aura...*

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**

In Prince Syaoran's room:

(Yue is back from his 'break')

"So~ what did you find?" Yue asked knowing the answer.

"A maid...with an aura..." Syaoran couldn't finish.

"The other aura is from Cereberus." Yue told him.

"The guardian beast?" Syaoran asked in surprise?

"Yes."

"Then...that...means...that maid...is the C..c...card captor?" Syoaran
asked slowly.

"Yes."

"Aren't you supposed to guard her as well as Cereberus?" Syaoran asked.

"Yes I am. But I was side-tracked...as you know." Yue said. "I can't
appear in front of the card mistress now."

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**Flashback!! About 6 years ago
**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**

"Your all mine Yue!! And you're going to lead me to the card mistress!"
A dark figure wearing a dark cloak growled.

Yue was tied up to a pole with a magical rope which couldn't be broken.
"Never..." Yue snarled back.

The dark figure whipped Yue, causing his shirt to rip and his skin to
bleed. "Now..tell me where the card mistress is. I won't hurt you if you
do..." The figure said.

Yue didn't say a word. He glared into the unseeable eyes of the figure
and shook his head.

"You .......!" The figure whipped Yue again and again. Yue grinded his
teeth in pain and didn't shout. The figure cocked his head the looked at
Yue. "You think you're smart! You think you're so smart that because you
won't tell me where the card mistress is I won't find her? I knew you're
weakened form was of a boy named Yukito. I lured him in with everything I
had knowing that you'd show up from that form."

"You'll never find her..." Yue moaned.

"We'll see about that..." The figure was about to whip Yue again when
all of a sudden, the shack that they were in began to fall apart. "I'm not
done with you Yue." The figure seethed and disappeared into thin air.

The shack broke down to splinters and planks, with Yue underneath it all.

Syaoran happened to have been practicing with his sword in the woods
where the shack was located. He saw the mess of wood and felt a faint aura
inside. He moved all the planks and wood aside and found Yue whom he nursed
back to health.

Yue from that day felt as if he had to stay with Syaoran. To repay him.

**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**End of
flashback**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~

"You're going to have to get aquainted with the maid." Yue said.

"But...how am I going to get aquainted with a maid?" Syaoran asked.

"You tell me, Prince Syaoran." Yue said.

Syaoran was speechless. *Get aquainted with a maid. This is going to be
hard.*
