Author's Note: Ok, here is the next chapter to this story. Sorry if it took so long to make this chapter, I wasn't sure on how to type it. Well I wont keep you waiting so here you go.
"What is it?," he asked as I got up and look at him with a frown on my face.
"We have company," I said as I got my sword ready for anything to come at me even though I knew Syoaran would try and stop me.
"Stay here," Syaoran said as he walked in front of me. "What do you think it is?" he asked as I looked in the direction I thought the sound was coming in and shrugged me shoulders.
"I don't know," I said gripping my sword even more as he looked back at me then kept walking that way I wouldn't try anything.
"I'll go check," Syaoran said as I leaned against the tree trying not to say that I would rather go."It was just a rabbit," he said as he held it out to me after he came back.
"Well I told you I sensed something," I said as I fell to the ground in pain. "It's cute," I said in a low voice trying not to show that I was hurting.
"Don't get used to him," Syaoran said as he sat down next to me and out a hand on my shoulder to help me fell better.
"Can we keep him for the night?" I asked as I looked at the small rabbit and it looked back at me.
"Why not," he said as I looked at Syaoran with a smile as he sighed deeply.
"Thank you," I said as I leaned over to Syaoran and gave him a kiss on the cheek with a small bluch in my face.
Syaoran had blushed when I kissed him and it felt nice to do so. It was funny to see him blush for the first time that I've been around him. Things are changing so much and I don't know if I'll be able to see Syaoran again once I go back to my kingdom. I hope nothing changes, I like us being like this.
"Sakura, what was your kingdom like?" Syaoran asked as I turned to him and smiled softly as our faces went back to normal.
"It was a great kingdom, the king and queen fought for it as much and as hard as they could," I said looking up into the night sky.
"Did they have kids?" he asked as I thought about what to say that way I wouldn't blow anything about me.
"Yes they did, they had one boy the oldest and one girl," I said as I turned the other way and whiped my eyes. "The princess was very high spirited and everyone loved her, the prince was strong and he was very protective of his little sister." I said as I turned back to him and smiled softly.
"What happened to them?" Syaoran asked as I looked to the ground as soon as he asked me this question.
"The day I landed on you was the day that the kingdom was attacked, we didn't see it coming," I said thinking back to that day and how everything happened. "The king and queen came out of the castle and fought as the brother stayed inside to protect everyone inside the castle, but it was too much and the castle fell," I said as I covered my eyes hoping not to cry again. "No one knows what happened to the royal family all they know is that the thing's that stormed the castle where searching for a power that only few knew of," I said as I got up and looked up at the sky.
"Where are you going?" Syaoran asked as I looked down at him and smiled.
"I am going to take a bath in the river over there," I said as I pointed to it simply. "I'll be right back so don't come looking for me," I said as I started walking to the river.
"Why would I do that?" Syaoran asked as I turned back to him and tilted my head to the side and smiled.
"Just incase you hear me scream," I said going into the wood not waiting for him to reply back to me.
The water felt great on my cut and it felt good to get my hair wet. The rabbit seemed to like it a lot too. As I sat there looking into the dark blue night sky I found so many things that I never found before. It was nice to see them and it made me fell like there was hope left out there for me and everyone else in my castle.
Letting my mind drift I thought about what Syaoran had said about him losing his memory. "No one should have that happen to them," I said softly as the rabbit looked up at me. After washing up I changed back into my cloths and walked back to the camp we made.
"I am back," I said as the rabbit followed me to the camplike a lost dog. "Hey, Syaoran you here or did you leave me to go home?" I asked as I looked around to find a boy with messy chestnut hair fast asleep against a Willow tree. "Good night Syaoran," I said as I kissed him on the forehead and put a blanket over him. "Come hear bunny," I said as I picked up the rabbit and sat next to Syaoran to fall asleep for the night.
The next day I was feeling much better than I had been. I could move more and I had a lot more strength in me I thought I was going to burst. Smiling happily I looked around to see Syaoran already up and ready to go.
"Sakura hurry up we should get a head start for today," Syaoran said as I jumped on to my horse and walked to him.
"I am coming," I said as I trotted after him once he picked up speed.
"How are you feeling today?" he asked as I looked up at him and smiled happily like it was something new to me and I didn't want to lose it.
"I feel great!" I shouted as Syaoran jumpped a bit and I started to alguh like crazy.
"You don't have to be loud," he said as I went to a giggle and he just looked at me and sighed like it was nothing new to him.
"But when I am happy I like to be loud," I said as I stopped my horse and thought about something that had came to my head that I never thought about before.
"What's up, why'd you stop?" Syaoran asked as I looked around then back at him.
"It's nothing I uh… just thinking about something," I said hoping that he didn't sense the lie that I had just made to him.
"Okay," he said as he led the way this time since I was way in back of him for some reason.
"What do we have for food?" I asked as my stomach growl since I didn't have anything to eat for hours.
"Here," Syaoran said as he threw me a small bun and I held it in my hand. Looking down at it I thought about something I never really got since my father never really told me about it. Pushing it a side a took a small bite from it and smiled.
"Thanks," I said as I started eating it a bit more. "Want some Syaoran?" I asked as I heard Syaoran's stomach growl.
"No thank you, you need it more than me," he said as I gave some to the horse and looked back up at him.
"Are you sure?" I asked feeling bad that I was eating and he wasn't having anything to eat.
"Don't worry about it," he said as he kept his eye's forword not looking at me like he was hiding something from me.
It was silent again from that time on. We only stopped to feed and brush the horses to keep them cool and for me to rest. It was a short rest, I wanted to keep moving and I really didn't know what I would say if he asked me something. I really wanted to speak to Syaoran, but I didn't know what to say to him. I felt like something was on his mind or we just had a fight for some reason.
"Hey look a town!," I said in a high voice as my emerald eyes lit up with joy.
"Sakura, do you want to stay here for the night or do you want to keep moving?" Syaoran asked in a voice that I haven't heard in a long time.
"What ever you want," I said as I looked back at the ground and sighed deeply.
"It'd be safer so let's stay here," he said as I pulled my horse to a stop amd I got off hoping that my side wouldn't hurt to much.
"I'll find a place for us to stay," I said as I gave my horse to Syaoran and wlaked off before he could say anything to me.
"How my I help you miss?" a man asked me as I turned to him and smiled softly at him.
"I'd like to have two rooms please, oh and two stables," I said as I looked around the place I was standing near and smile when I saw it was a nice safe place to stay.
"That will be 200 crystals," the man said as I pulled out the crystals from my pocket. 'That's a bit much, but I am also paying for two,' I thought as I handed the man the crystals. "Here you go," the man said as he handed me the keys to the rooms.
"Can you believe that the prince of theives is in this town," I heard a women whisper from the side of me and I looked at her. "Yeah, I heard he came he not that long ago. He's supposed to be here with some other theif," another women said softly.
"Great just what I need, the famuse prince of theives to be here," I said under my breath as I went to Syaoran. "Heres your key for your room," I said as I gave him the key and he looked at me like I was crazy.
"Where did you get this, it looks like you paid a lot of money?" he asked as I looked over my shoulder and smiled at him like it was nothing new.
"I have my ways, don't worry about it," I said with a smirk as I saw the look on Syaoran's face.
That night I didn't talk to Syaoran and Syaoran didn't talk to me. I felt like I was being pushed away from him, like he was hiding something from me. Not wanting to push it I went outside for a walk hoping to clear my mind.
"Stop thief!" yelled a women as someone ran by me quickly.
"What's wrong?" I asked as she stopped in front of me and I looked at her with worry on my face.
"He stole one of my fruits," she said as I look at the person running away from me.
"Don't worry I'll get him for you," I said running as fast as I could with the gash on my side. "Hey you stop!" I yelled as I tackled the theif, but only was able to stop him instead of taking him down.
"Let go of me," he said as I grabbed both arms to make sure he wouldn't run and that way he wouldn't hit me.
"Hey, I know that voice," I said in amazment as my eyes widened with fear and regret. "Syaoran, you're the prince of theives," I said in a scard voice.
"Who are you talking about?" he asked as I turned him that way he was facing the moon light and to me since I couldn't see him before.
"Don't lie to me Syaoran," I said as tears rolled down my face. "Why didn't you tell me," I asked softly.
"I didn't want this to happen," he said as he wiped the teasrs from my face as I looked into his eyes to see not anger but a gental look.
"Why?" I asked as let go of him and backed away as if hid touch burned me.
"For them," he said as two small children came out from the dark as their faces where covered with dirt.
"I've got to get going you have fun eating the fruit," I said turning away not wanting to see Syaoran's face anymore or even to see the look on the childeren's faces.
"You're not going to take it back," Syaoran said as he grabbed onto my arm trying to stop me from leaving.
"No, I am going to say that you got away and then I am going to pay the woman," I said as I puled away from him and held my side.
"Thank you," the small children said as they hugged me and I patted their heads.
"It's no problem, and if you ever need food again just say that Sakura Avilon will pay them back," I whispered to them and the smiled and bowed to me like they knew who I truely was.
"I am sorry miss, he got away from me," I said as the women turned to me and nodded her head. "I'll pay for it, it's the least I could do," I said as I gave her the crystals.
"Thank you very much," she said as she looked down at my gash and gasped deeply.
"Your wound has reopened," she said as she got me a chair and I sat down trying not to let out a scream from the pain.
"It must have been from chasing the thief," she said as I looked at the sky like it was about to fall on me and just knock me out because of the pain.
"Here let me bandage that up for you," she said as we when into the back room and I sat on a bed back there.
"Thank you for your help," I said as I tried to stop the bleeding but it just kept coming out like it was a river wanting to escape from me and find a new place to go to.
"It's the best I could do for you," she said as she finished bandaging me up even though it didn't really help for some reason.
"Have a nice night," I said walking out of the back room and back to the inn to go to bed.
The next day I stayed quiet and didn't look up from the ground. Neither of us really wanted to say anything and I didn't know what to say. All I thought about was the reasons why he would steal and why he never told me. The pain in my side had slightly gone away and but not completely. I didn't tell Syaoran that it opened up when I was running after him and I wasn't expecting to. He might know, but he might not either. For now I am going to keep it the way it is.
"Sakura," Syaoran said in a whisper that I could barly hear him fro mwhere I was.
"What?" I asked as I looked up for the first time in what seemed like days.
"I am sorry for all this trouble," he said stopping the horse and looking back at me with sadness in his eyes.
"Don't be," I said as I stopped and got off as I held onto my side as the pain came back to me.
"I should have told you when we started the trip, and I should have told you the truth on why I wanted to go with you so badly," he said as I led my horse to the river so he could get a drink.
"Why do you?" I asked as I sat on the ground that away he couldn't see the new blood stain on the top my my dress.
"I am looking for someone and I was being chased when you landed on me," he said in a low voice as he stood where he was looking down at the ground.
"Hahahaha," I started to laugh out of control in one of the worst possible moments in my life.
"What's so funny?" Syaoran asked as my face went red from laughter as I looked at him.
"The….. last ….. thing you…..said," I said in beatween breaths of air as he looked at me confused.
"What that I was being chased when you fell on me?" he asked me as I stopped laughing.
"I am so sorry, I shouldn't be laughing at you," I said getting up and whiping my eyes.
