As Syaoron was frozen in place Sakura was behind him in complete bewilderment, slowly comprehending the sitchuation at hand. She took in all of her surroundings and mentally got prepared for battle. Just then the witch, Hakari started to laugh, or more like cackle once again. She moved her right hand forward, Palm down, her pointer finger directed toward the ground did a spinning motion. Syaoron's body seemed to follow the silent command as he spun until he was facing Sakura, still frozen in the same position. She in turn took a half step back unsure of what was about to happen.
"Sakura!" Syaoron said through gritted teeth, "Get out of here now, I have absolutely no control over my body and she will make me kill you!" His golden amber eyes locked with hers as she thought of something she can do to break the spell long enough to get them out of the witch's layer. (A/N: I know that's cliché to use but to be honest I couldn't think of what else to call it ) She could see the witch roll her eyes just before her right hand thrusted forward her pointer finger snapping straight directed toward Sakura in another silent command. Sakura watched closely, as she saw the motion her hand made, also made Syaoron's body move a fraction of a second later, his sword thrusting towards her chest. "Sakura move!"
They traveled through the night, walking up the mountain path towards their destination. Eriol looked back to see that Tomoyo was right behind him keeping up fairly well though slightly out of breath. "Are you okay Tomoyo? We can take a break for a moment if you wish?" Tomoyo stopped for a second to look at Eriol, she huffed and walked ahead of him almost trying to prove that she could keep up without stopping. He looked at her and the corners of his mouth lifting a little, letting her have her way for the time being.
They walked in silence, the moon illuminating the path ahead enough that they could see clearly. The path had become flat for the moment so Tomoyo caught her breath easily before she looked at Eriol and the thought of him being handsome and quite the gentleman. As the thought crossed her mind she shook her head slightly, and lightly smiled to herself as she thought herself foolish to think of such a thing while her friend was in trouble and needed her.
"Hey Eriol do you think we'll be able to find them tonight?" he turned to look at her as she spoke, after she asked her question he looked forward once again before answering. "I'm not sure to be perfectly honest, its likely that we could find them tonight, since we were already so close to the mountain to begin with it probably made things easier for us. If not then we'll just have to camp out till morning… which seems to be soon either way." He looked back at her and smiled trying to keep a positive attitude and keep the beauty beside him calm and cheerful. His smile made her heart flutter slightly as she continued to walk, listening of the pitter-patter of her heart. 'its got to be just a physical attraction…no WAY could there be anything within a few hours…' She thought.
At the last second Sakura bent backwards into a back bridge, right after her hands touched the ground her legs kicked off, her right foot connecting with the handle of the sword causing it to fly out of Syaoron's grasp. Sakura landed on her feet and got into a position where she would be able to move accordingly to the sitchuation. Feet shoulder length apart, right foot before the left while her torso faced Syaoron and her hands in fists by her face to protect herself. "Well would you look at that!" Sakura said "Oni-chan was right when he said I could use this stuff! Cool huh?" A big grin on her face, deliberately provoking the witch in hopes of flustering her to the point a mistake would be made.
"Damn it Sakura just get the hell out of here!" Syaoron spat out angrily as he watched relived that she was in fact able to defend herself. Sakura on the other hand seemed to enjoy the little fight that they were having since she had the upper hand at the moment with Syaoron disarmed. "Pfft, listen buddy I have an issue with that wicked wench of the west over there just like you do so I'm going to have to say no to the running away part." She said, though she wasn't usually quite as crude as that when she spoke on a normal basis, she hoped it made her sound like she at least had confidence. "Besides she doesn't seem to have any idea as to how fighting works since you've already been disar-WOA"
Sakura was cut off when Syaoron's fist came flying towards her face, bending her knees she pushed her body under his extended arm and twirled her way past his side so she was now back to back with him and facing the witch. Hakari though a little stunned, didn't miss a beat as she bent her wrist, her pointer finger spun in a circular motion towards herself. Sakura ducked her head a fraction when she realized that Syaoron was flipping over her head. The moment that he landed Sakura flung herself towards him in a manner the witch didn't understand how it would be in anyway affective, until Sakura's lips met Syaoron's. Hakari momentarily froze, and Syaoron's eyes bulged in disbelief. Sakura took that moment to maneuver around Syaoron, completely removing the thought of what just happened from her mind. She was able to get in front of Hakari to punch her in the face. As Hakari fell to the ground Sakura grabbed an old porcelain medicine bowl that was laying idol on the ground and smashed it over the Hakari's head knocking her unconscious, sharp shards scattered to the ground.
Just as the witch's eyes closed Sakura could tell Syaoron's body had been freed from her grasp. Once freed his legs collapsed and his body felt somewhat heavier, though he was relived when he lifted his hand up to examine on his own free will and not by someone else's. He didn't have much time to rejoice when the hand he was examining suddenly had a much smaller hand wrapped around it pulling it up, his body following suit.
Eriol looked ahead of him and saw that there was a bit of a climb ahead and both himself and Tomoyo were exhausted considering that neither has had any sleep. Coming to the conclusion that they wouldn't be of any help to anyone he voiced his concern. "Look Tomoyo, why don't we set up camp because we wont be of any help to Sakura and Syaoron if we're as tired as we are." Tomoyo looked back at him about to protest before she saw the circles starting to form under his blue eyes and changed her mind. "Okay enough to get a nap in there I guess." she said in good nature as she looked up and him and smiled. Her smile having a bit more of an affect on him then she knew.
There was a small gathering of trees not much further ahead of where they already were so they made camp there, hidden from the path by the trees and bushes around them incase of anyone passing by so they wouldn't be caught off guard by. As they lay down their blankets Tomoyo had to use Syaoron's since she didn't have any of her own, Eriol gave her one of his to use as an extra so that she didn't get cold. "Thank you" she whispered a tint of pink lightly played on her cheeks as she wrapped herself in the blanket that he gave her. It smelt of the forest, and almost had the scent of winter entwined in its brown fabric.
"What the hell were you thinking? Why didn't you run when I told you to? Do you have any idea how bad that could have been if you made even one mistake?" Syaoron bellowed as they ran through the twists and turns of the dark cave towards the exit, following the scent of fresh air. Sakura rolled her eyes and let out an exasperated breath "Oh shut up already! I realize that but I didn't make a mistake now did I? Besides my not listening to you got us out of there, doesn't that count for anything?" Before Syaoron was able to answer her most likely rhetoric question when they came to the exit of the cave and excitedly entered the open, fresh air and trees that surrounded the opening of the cave.
Sakura stopped running quite sometime after escaping the cave, she was out of breath and didn't care if Syaoron would yell at her again about getting caught or something. Though she was surprised when he stopped when she did to catch his breath as well and observe their surroundings, she had assumed he was trying to figure out where they were. "So…" she started, slightly afraid that he was still mad at her, "Any clue where we are?" Sakura asked "And can you pleease explain this curse that the witch has you under because that was just a BIT surprising" She added sarcastically.
Syaoron turned to her and glared at her full force, Sakura was happy to return the cold stare in pure defiance. "Let's figure out a way to get back to Eriol and your friend first…. Then we'll talk" Syaoron mumbled, not feeling up for an argument at the moment.
They started walking down a pathway on the mountain that seemed to lead to where they had set up camp before. "You know…" Sakura started as she walked beside him in thought "I'm pretty sure that Tomoyo wouldn't just be sitting there waiting for us to come and find her. Knowing her she's probably already half way up the damn mountain trying to find us." At this she got more worried and Syaoron sighed knowing full well she was probably right because Eriol would do the exact same thing. "Yeah I know but we have to start somewhere. So we'll head in that direction and knowing Eriol he's probably on the main path to make things easier for your friend"
Silence filled the air between Sakura and Syaoron, not quite awkward but not exactly comfortable either. Sakura looked up at the sky admiring the view, in her time the stars didn't shine as bright due to all the city lights. Here the sky seemed to majestic, as it should be, the moon shining brightly hiding her mysteries behind shadows, as the stars shone and twinkled in the night making them seem like they danced endlessly. The wildlife singing it's never ending song. In her time all you could hear were TV's, or cars passing by, or the neighbors next door. Not exactly the most peaceful of environments. Which was why her and Tomoyo went to the beach in the first place, to get away from the city for a couple of hours.
"Do you want to set up camp to get some sleep? It's most likely going to be a long day tomorrow." Sakura snapped out of her train of thought as Syaoron spoke, "umm…sorry what? Wasn't really paying attention, hehe." Syaoron just looked at her as she wore an apologetic grin and smirked, "I had asked you if you would like to make camp since tomorrow is going to be a long day. Pay attention will you?" he said adding a little chuckle of his own at the end, his voice vibrating from his chest making his voice husky and Sakura's heart flutter. Nodding she replied, "sure but we don't have any blankets and I don't think it'll be such a good idea if we get a fire going will it?"
Next thing she knew Syaoron was taking off his cloak that he had put back on earlier. Her first thought was that he was getting undressed to keep eachother "warm" a different way. When she was about to voice her 'very valid' concern he put the cloak over her shoulders again.
"That's the best I have as a blanket but it'll have to do for now." He said not knowing just how Sakura almost caused herself to go into cardiac arrest. 'Okay Sakura you know your just WAY over tired… Today's been way WAY to long, so your little freak out was justified, your just to tired to think straight… which would explain why I kissed him actually… crap I didn't want to think of that.' She grasped the cloak closer to her as she could smell the sent it gave off. 'It smells like autumn, I wonder if he smells like this to.'
She went bright red at the thought, she looked over at Syaoron and only felt her cheeks grow warmer when she saw that his arms looked well toned as did the rest of his body. Tanned to top it off. Looking away she shook her head to clear her thoughts as he gathered leaves to create a makeshift bed for each of them. She had noticed that their little 'beds' weren't too far apart, only a couple of inch's to be exact. "Well this will be fun… yay to sleeping on the ground!" she said sarcastically, trying to hide the fact that her mind was going wild with strange thoughts that she shouldn't be having of someone she just met that day. He looked up at her rolling his eyes while his head slowly raised. "Look just go to sleep, we're getting up soon to look for Eriol and your friend." He said as he settled down on one of the beds of leaves, making himself comfortable, looking as if sleeping beside someone of the opposite sex didn't bother him at all.
As he turned on his side his cheeks grew hot, the tips of his ears going red. He knew full well that she would be sleeping beside him, only and arms length away and the desire to hold her while she slept would probably be to great for him to resist. On the other hand if their sleeping arrangements were further apart it would be more difficult to get to her in an instant if anything happened during their slumber. 'Damn it! I don't know how I got my self into this but I am definitely not liking it' he thought, getting grumpy as those thoughts rampaged through his mind.
When he heard the leaves beside him rustle he knew that Sakura had lay down on her makeshift bed, only making his heart flutter a bit more. He turned on his back and put his hands behind his head as a pillow, he looked up at the sky loosing all train of thought to relax him self into sleep. 'Forget tomorrow being long… tonight's going to be long as well' he thought grumpily.
