On his black stallion, the Prince surveyed Sapphire Mask.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen." Sakura said cockily.
Prince Syaoran swiftly slid off his steed and approached Sakura. Sakura tightened her grip on her sword. "How exactly have we fallen?" Prince Syaoran asked curiously.
"I would have thought better of your royal guards." Sakura said pointed at he heap that the guard's unconscious bodies created.
"Bastard! How dare you." The Prince charged at Sakura with his sword.
"Before hastily charging, you should carefully observe the situation." Sakura said as she front-flipped over the Prince's head. Prince Syaoran's eyes widened as she talked. Sakura landed on her feet with a soft "thump". The Prince looked around the market witnessed the bread maker consoling a ragged young woman.
"That woman has done nothing wrong, yet your men wish to take her away. And for what purpose? To bed her for their own selfishness?" Sakura asked.
"Stop your lying!" Prince Syaoran yelled and charged once more. Taken slightly off guard, Sakura met his sword with her own.
"Why would I lie about such a terror?! I only wish to protect my kin!" Sakura said. Lady Tomoyo watched in horror as Sakura's and the Prince's swords clashed.
"Kin? Who are you truly? Why do you wish to protect?" The Prince angrily asked pushing on his sword.
"To save those who are innocent, to save those who you oppress!" Sakura cried out. Cheers supporting Sakura rung throughout the market. Sakura leaned all her weight onto her sword. "His strength is inhuman!" Sakura thought.
"What would you know?!" Prince Syaoran said pulling back as Sakura did the same.
Panting, Sakura replied, "Much more than you think." She surveyed the market.
"My work has long finished, I will take my leave." Sakura said and jumped onto a low building. She jumped from that building to another and so on, till she had disappeared from view. Lady Tomoyo rushed back into the fabric store and ran back out in the direction that Sakura had gone. Prince Syaoran stood in the middle of the market looking at the place where he battled with Sapphire Mask, wondering who exactly this mysterious person was.
