Kurogane panicked seeing the boy collapse, he looked terrible, he scooped Syaoran up and ran to try and find Fai and Sakura. He heard noises coming from the river and ran in that direction; he found Fai and the princess gathering water. "Oi mage" he screamed, they both spun around and saw the state of Syaoran, Kurogane gently laid him down as Fai ran up to the boy and placed a hand on his head "he's burning up, we need to find a cure and quick" Sakura was shocked she didn't like seeing her friend like this without being able to help him. Kurogane stiffened as he heard rustling in the bushes he unsheathed souhi and stood in front of Syaoran, Fai pulled the princess behind him as he got ready for a fight.
They watched as the dark haired man carried the boy now unconscious to the others, the large group watched from the bushes waiting for the right time, "I believe now is the time" one of the men said to the group as they walked to the group they noticed the 2 larger men were ready for them, they charged at them and began the attack, they had no choice but to get rid of the others before they could take the boy with them. Kurogane watched as the men who attacked them earlier jumped out from the bushes and started attacking, Fai was leaping about the place attacking all different men, Kurogane was swinging souhi at the men who tried to block it with wooden staffs and Sakura and Mokona where hiding behind one of the trees trying to stay clear of the fighting taking place.
Syaoran groaned awake, he felt weak and pretty awful, his head spun, his body ached and his wound stung, he noticed the battle taking place around him and quickly rolled onto his hands and knees and pulled himself up, he noticed how Kurogane and Fai were fighting brilliantly but were getting tired, Syaoran noticed a strange looking man wearing a long green robe carrying a long staff began walking up to him, Syaoran clapped his hands together and pulled jian out from his hands, the man dressed in green stopped and chuckled at Syaoran "boy we both know you have no energy left, but I am surprised you managed to summon your sword" "who the hell are you" Syaoran shouted the man just chuckled again "very well my name is, Cong" he began chanting a spell and directed it at Syaoran, he managed to dodge the attack and charged at Cong and swung his sword, he managed to cut part of Cong's robe, a few others charged Syaoran as Cong began chanting again.
Syaoran quickly took care of the men who charged at him, but his side began to hurt again, he glanced to Kurogane and Fai who were both being cornered by these men, "what do you want with us" Syaoran screamed at Cong, "you'll see soon enough boy" Syaoran charged at Cong, Cong began to chuckle darkly as he chanted Syaoran froze, he couldn't move, his sword disappeared, he glanced down at his hands and noticed at red tattoo crawling over his body. 'Not again' he thought 'please not again'. Cong walked up to Syaoran's frozen body and placed and hand on his shoulder "just sleep now, everything will be clearer soon" he stepped back and looked at the fear in Syaoran's eyes and shouted "mámù" with that Syaoran knew no more.
Kurogane was getting overwhelmed when he heard one the men shout to retreat, he looked over at Fai and cought sight of Syaoran stood still completely unconcious with red tattoos snaking up his whole body, he began to run for the boy noticing fai do the same, Cong saw the 2 running at them, he smiled and grabbed hold of the unconcious boy and summoned his magic circle to teleport them back to the lords lair. Fai noticed the magic circle under the 2 and then watched as the disappeared, Kurogane was shouting and swearing, the princess hugged Mokona as they both cried for Syaoran. Fai tended to the princess as Kurogane punched another tree "Fucking bastards" he screamed "now, now Kuro-rin, you shouldn't swear like that in front of the princess." Fai waited Kurogane to either yell at him or smack him but nothing happened instead Kurogane just stood there staring into the bushes.
"you better get your arse out here now" Kurogane screamed, all of a sudden the bushes rustled and a women wearing a long black cape stepped out, she had a green and black one sleeved short dress on with long brown boots up to her knees, she had long red hair that went up to her boobs and the most beautiful jade colour eyes. "I'm not gonna hurt you" she told them "my name is Bao Yu, but you can call me Bik for short" Kurogane approached her "how do we know we can trust you, plus what do you want" she walked up to him smiling "I only want one thing, I want to help you get that boy back. "Why" asked Sakura "why would you want to help someone you know" Bik smiled sadly "I'll tell you in time but just trust I have my reasons, I'm someone you can trust, I know where they've taken him" Fai looked at the group, he didn't know if he could trust this girl but if she could take them to Syaoran he would be willing to take the risk. "Ok" he sighed "I will trust you" he stepped forward and smiled at Bik, "what the fuck mage, we can't just trust her" Kurogane shouted, "it's the only way to get Syaoran back Kurogane" Fai explained Kurogane could tell the mage was serious at the use of his full name, Sakura stepped forward as well "I will trust you also, I know you don't want to hurt us, but please help us get Syaoran back" she wiped a tear from her eye and stood next to Fai, Kurogane growled he couldn't believe these people were willing to trust someone they just met, "fine, lets go get the kid" he mumbled as he stepped forward and joined the group, "ok, lets go I'm not gonna lie but this isn't going to be a walk in the park" Bik explained and with that they followed her to rescue Syaoran.
