Rescue
"Damn it, where did she go" I growled. I sniffed the air, trying to catch her scent. She smelt just like strawberries. I picked up her trail and quickly followed her. I was amazed at how far she had run. It was almost 4 km. I could tell she could run fast, but the distance she had covered in the amount of time I had been chasing her, I was surprised she wasn't one of us. I went from deserted alleyways to crowded streets until I heard screaming.
"Let go of me!"
"Shut up, we'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget."
"NO!"
I'm coming Sakura
I charged into the warehouse, almost tasting the blood I was about to shed.
"What have we got 'ere, the boy thinks he can be a hero" laughed one of the men holding Lana.
"Oh I don't I'm a hero" I said slyly, "I'm a superhero, just watch me fly"
As soon as I had finished my sentence I made my move. I was in front of the first man in less than a second, delivering a fatal blow straight to his face, breaking his skull. The next two were just as easy. I swiftly ran up to them, braking the neck of one and throwing another through a window. Finally there was only one.
His mouth was open, his hands, trembling. I stepped forward, about deliver the final blow, when he pulled out a knife and held it up to Sakura's throat.
"You take one more step and she gets it" he yelled, trying to keep his voice from wavering.
"What makes you think I won't kill you after you kill her, huh? What would stop me from taking revenge? Stop kidding yourself and let her go." I said, glaring at him.
He froze, trying to decide on whether to kill her or run. He was about to let her go when he sliced her throat, pushing her towards me and making a run for it. I roared in anger and was in front of him, pulling my sword from its sheath and thrusting my sword straight through him, killing him instantly.
After that I quickly wiped my blade then ran over to Sakura. Her wound hadn't been as serious as I'd thought but she had still lost a lot of blood. Her eyes were shut tight but her ragged breathing showed she was still conscious.
"Sakura, can you hear me?" I asked frantically. She made a small whimper, signifying yes.
"I'm going to heal you but I'm going to need you to keep very still, ok?" I told her, receiving the same whimper. She grimaced as I placed my hands on her throat and began the healing process.

It took longer than I expected. The wound the man had inflicted was minor compared to the rest of the bruises and scars she carried. I had noticed some of them when I had first saved her, a few on her hands and face, but there were far more. They lined her arms, legs, back. Her whole body was basically black and blue. Anger rose inside me, threatening to burst out, when she placed her hand on mine.
"It's ok" she said weakly, then she fell unconscious once more.
After a few hours she was finally fully healed. A wave of exhaustion fell over me as I tried to stand up, failing terribly and falling to the ground. I weakly crawled towards Sakura and fell into a fitful, nightmarish, slumber.

Oh my god, I am such an idiot! This is so embarassing and I don't even know any of you! If anyone has managed to guess, this wasn't originally a CCS fanfic but one of my own stories I'd decieded to write and I forgot to change the names! Please tell me if I do this again, I feel like such a dork ;_;
