7 Days to the Journey

Syaoran groaned sleepily as someone tapped on his shoulders. He mumbled something that sounded closely like, "Go away..." and resumed dreaming about a certain emerald-eyed princess saying 'I love y-

WHOAH!

The Li prince snapped his head up, fully awake, and glared full force to the person in front of him.

Fujitaka laughed and patted Syaoran's head fatherly.

"Why, may I ask you, young man, are you sleeping on the palace's main balcony?" Fujitaka questioned, humour in his voice.

Syaoran blinked as memories of last night drowned his thoughts.

Dang, he must've fallen asleep there while thinking last night!

Fujitaka grinned and leaned on the railings beside the prince.

"Did Sakura-chan throw you out of her bedroom?"

Syaoran scowled at that and shook his head quickly.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Fujitaka rubbed the back of his head and smiled apologetically. "I thought she did." He stood up properly again and offered his hand.

Syaoran took it and straightened his legs, de-crumpling his night robe as he stood before the King.

'You look very honourable for a prince, Syaoran Li. Really honourable.'

Syaoran thought sarcastically, and he flushed red, embarrassed of his attire.

Fujitaka chuckled and gestured for Syaoran to follow him, disappearing into the palace. Syaoran nodded, walking after him respectfully.

Fujitaka lead him to a bedroom beside Sakura's, and opened the mahogany doors. At the same time, they heard loud crashes and bangs from Sakura's bedroom, followed by frustrated yells and disappointed sighs.

Fujitaka and Syaoran sweatdropped.

"She's always like that, in a hurry. I told her that she needed a maid to wake her up, but she said it would just be extra hard work for them." Fujitaka chuckled (again) and pushed Syaoran into the large bedroom ahead of them.

Syaoran could only stare in shock.

The whole place was decorated with the strong colour of green. A green poster bed was situated at the very end of the room, with a sliding door leading to an outdoor balcony beside it. A green expensive-looking armchair was placed against an oak writing table, and bottles of ink and quills were sitting on it. A green plush rug welcomed Syaoran in the middle of the room, with the emblem of the Dragonyte Kingdom on it. There is green closet with a wooden door beside it, connecting to a luxurious bathroom.

All in all, it looked really extravagant and... grand.

"It's yours." Fujitaka said simply, smiling as he observed Syaoran's gaping mouth.

Syaoran turned to Fujitaka slowly and nodded his thanks. The Dragonyte king's smile grew wider.

"Don't mention it. Anyway, clothes are ready for you to use in the closet. The other teenagers are going out into town today; do you want to join them?" Syaoran thought about this for a moment.
