Chapter Six
The glyphs of argument


As the moon crept over the trees, it cast a shadow that spread across the road that Syaoran, Takeya, and Sakura strode upon. The stars were the only light between them, but yet so bright, they were not bright enough to reveal the road. The owls hooted upon themselves in a hint that no one was behind trees in ambush, and the crickets chirp were like noise of god.

The matter of a road hidden in the darkness did not matter most, for they had finally fallen upon the Flint Cave. Blue crystal like symbols, hologlyphs, glittered around the entrance in prevalence of its path, and each symbolizing a piece of life.

One that really caught Sakura's eyes as she awoken was a symbol that crossed over into a heart. All she could do was smile upon it and think of what it held. Another that Takeya took sight of was the symbols that looked as they reflected off of the journey he has been through as a knight. Though Syaoran loved watching them glow, only one caught him in his place; death.

A quick shiver ran up the spine of Sakura as she felt a chill breeze blast from within the cave. He held onto Syaoran tightly, but loosened as he gestured Takeya to get off his horse.

"These glyphs... ancient language of the people who started this world..." Syaoran sounded amused. He reached up near the entrance of the cave and touched one. "Destiny's men and women."

"How are you able to read these?" Takeya mumbled. He took a step towards a glyph, then stopped as he stared deeply at the blue symbol that stood in front of his eyes.

"This here..." Syaoran started, pointing out the blue glyph that Sakura kept her eye on. "Is love... and this and this," he pointed towards Takeya's two. "Peace and Courage... Life, Death..." He went on. "Sacrifice, Obedient, Oblivion, Hostility, and..." He stopped at the very middle glyph, and smiled. "Family."

"You still haven't answered me Syaoran... how did you read them?" Takeya walked closer, then stopped behind Syaoran; who still had his head up high, staring at the beauty the lights gave off.

"My father, Wesle, taught me these... he said that these words were the most important meaning in life."

Sakura opened a mouth in a smile as she stared. Love, Family... she thought. She stared at Takeya, who stared deeply at the Peace and Courage glyph. She had never seen him to focus on one thing.

When she turned towards Syaoran, he too seemed immobilized with a smile that she has never seen before. Was it that he only understood the meaning of the symbolic blue glyphs, or was it just the beauty of it?

Minutes later, Syaoran's face snapped back, and he changed looks.

"The horses must stay." Syaoran suggested, but Takeya quickly shook his head in protest.

Takeya jerked his head as he heard the words, and then found his eyes upon Syaoran. "But we'd get there faster! Where else are the horses to move?"

"They-"

"Takeya has a point, Syaoran." Sakura briefly interrupted.

"These animals are still a part of life; there lives do not need to be endangered." Syaoran said, finally completing his sentence.

"What's there to fear within these caves? I have traveled through Flint Cave many times, and only once, I have encountered an enemy, but that enemy was a coward."

"I still think that we should let the horses be." Syaoran's voice got louder as he seemed to be arguing at a rage tempo.

"I decline what we do... this is crazy, the horses will never live out here by themselves!"

"It's a mere risk, but it's safer than inside."

"Did you not just here what I said? There is nothing to fear in this cave."

"I-"

"Stop it!" Sakura held her hands out in front. She glared at Syaoran with a small anger, and then turned to Takeya. He twitched as her eyes met his. "Do you know the way across to Flonder through this cave?"

"Wh-"

"Answer!"

"Yes... but-"

"We leave the horses as Syaoran said, and go on foot."

A smiled crossed Syaoran's face, but Takeya disagreed immediately. "Are you mad?" He cried out. He attempted a stomp towards Sakura, but she backed off behind Syaoran. "Yes, we can make it on foot, but it would take hours longer... your saying that these animals are too important in life, then let them be of use, let them take us some place faster!"

Syaoran walked towards Takeya until there noses met. He gripped him by his shoulder pads provided by his knights armor and pushed him against a tree.

"These horses have already done much for us; let us repay them by not risking danger." Syaoran lurked deeply into Takeya's eyes. "Look at them!"

Takeya stared around the head of Syaoran at his horse. Its head bobbled to the ground in tiredness. Takeya then heard his horse breathing hard; it was tired and too, thirsty.

"From wh-"

"Shush." Syaoran held a hand over Takeya's mouth and gestured Sakura to stay quiet. Please stop interrupting me Takeya thought as he rolled his eyes around.

Syaoran turned his head slowly through the dark, his ears twitched and his senses doubled there equal power.

"Do you hear that?" He whispered.

Takeya mumbled words under Syaoran's hand. When Syaoran let him go, Takeya took a breather before talking. "Hear what?" is voice was still angry from there minor argument.

"...Nothing. exactly, no crickets, no owls."

Sakura's eyes widened, and she ran towards Syaoran. "There's someone near us."

Syaoran quickly took a look around before focusing his attentions back to Takeya. "Listen, we can't let them in, and we can't leave them here..."

"What do you pro-"

"We use them as a distraction." Syaoran said.

Takeya rolled his eyes once more, Please, stop interrupting. "I thought you didn't want them to be endangered, and here you are suggesting that your put them at more of a risk getting killed."

"In this darkness, they will think we are still on them, but once they catch up, they will see that we no longer exist on the back of these beautiful beasts. So then, they'd let them go freely. You may be lucky enough to encounter a coward within this cave, but I fear more."

Syaoran stared deeply, and then turned to Sakura, who stood immobile behind him. He walked up to her and held a hand over her head; rushing the hair down to cover her eyes.

"You scared?" He asked. She shook hard, but then gulped.

Sakura stared at Syaoran for a moment before staring at Takeya. Both men looked like mighty warriors, but only one she feared most. Not what I meet, but who I'm with... yes.

"Animal lover." Takeya hissed as he took a step forward.

Syaoran laughed. "Enough to live." He smashed his dull sword on the back of his horse and quickly stepped back. It cried in minor pain and started running away through the darkness of the woods. He then walked up to Takeya, who still felt the pain in having to walk the rest, but then he nodded. Syaoran hit the horse, and watched it galloped away into the dark.

Takeya quickly opened his mouth to talk, but instead, held out an arm as if reaching out to grab his horse back.

"Let's go." Syaoran ordered. "It's only a horse."

"No... It's not..." Though Syaoran couldn't see it, a tear drop fell down Takeya's cheeks and he fell to his knees. "My sword was on there..."

Syaoran's eyes popped up. He slapped his head and now thought of there weakness. If they were to be attacked now, there only defense would be him, and possibly the might of Takeya's fist. But he ignored the fact, and focused his thoughts on the cave.

A cool breeze brushed onto them. Sakura held her one piece of clothing tightly as it almost blew away; and were to reveal her. She felt the arms of Syaoran over her and smiled. Thank you. She thought to herself. For everything, but I fear you... this feeling in me is not easy. What am I scared of? I don't know, but something in you just doesn't seem right... your not the Syaoran I grew up knowing... and loving.

A pain struck through Sakura's head as she fell down to her knees. She gripped her ears and yelped in pain. She felt as if someone had dashed a knife into her skull and she was able to live through its pain.

"Sakura!' Both Syaoran and Takeya quickly ran up to her. Syaoran laid his hands on her shoulder, trying to calm her down, but she struggled to remove the pain.

"My head... it hurts!" She cried. She pushed Syaoran away, but Takeya held her down in place.

"What's wrong with her?" He frantically asked.

Syaoran eyed the distance and saw bushes move like rattles. There here! "Takeya, let's go in now!"

"But what about Sakura?" Takeya immediately shouted, ignoring the danger, and ignoring Sakura's cry for pain.

"We-" Syaoran started, thought for a second, and then shook his head. "Drag her in!"

Takeya didn't think, he followed what Syaoran said, and by the hands, dragged Sakura along the dirt floor into the cave until they were concealed in darkness.

Sakura kept her cry of pain and wouldn't quiet down. She struggled to get out of Takeya's grip but his strength was too much for her. Takeya tried calling out to her, but it had seemed like Sakura's mind had been trapped elsewhere, there was no voice contact that would be able to reach her with her screaming.

"Syaoran!" Takeya yelled.

Syaoran, still outside the cave, quickly turned towards the dark cave and hesitated before running in.

"They'll find us in here!" Syaoran spat. He ran back up near the cave entrance and quickly looked around for something, anything that would somehow conceal them; darkness wasn't enough if they wanted to live.

The sounds of Claud Knights got louder as they heard horses galloping and war cried through the darkness. Takeya feared those noise, and searched faster.

He stopped when he saw a small glowing glyph. He focused his attentions on it as he tried reading it. What word is this... can't remember! He beat his head once with his hands, then his eyes shot up. "Embastroud!" He yelled.

The ground shook; Syaoran almost fell over, but held his balance in place. He looked over towards Takeya, who still held onto the screaming Sakura. There bodies shook as pebbles of rocks started falling from the ceiling.

"What's going on?" Takeya yelled out. "It's not caving in is it?"

The entrance started to get thinner and thinner. By the time Takeya could say another word, it closed up. The entrance was gone.

The moon as there source of light now disappeared and they were now stranded without even being able to see there hand close up.

Sakura's cry quieted as she felt herself rest her head on Takeya's chest. She sighed, and a painful tear drop found it's way out.

"Takeya... Sakura, are you to okay?"

"Great!" Takeya exaggerated. "It's totally dark, Sakura seems to be sleeping again, and now I have no idea where to go."

"As long as were safe." Syaoran sighed in relief, but held his position. "Don't move."

"Don't worry; there is nothing I can do as of now." Takeya turned his head as he heard drips of water pounce of rocks. He had a change of feelings for cowardness inside Flint Cave now. He feared that monsters beyond what he has met lurked behind him, but after moments of not being attacked, he turned h is attentions back to Syaoran. "We have to find some sort of light now."

"I know... huh?" The ground beneath Syaoran started to rumble. Takeya felt the same vibration and moved back deeper into the cave with Sakura in his arms.

The vibration felt like a small earthquake, but it quickly went. Relieved that nothing horrible has happened yet, Takeya took in a small breath of air and let it out slowly.

"Syaoran, what now?" He asked. He stared in the direction that he once last saw him and awaited an answer. When he waited for minutes without an answer, he worried. "Syaoran... what now?" No answer. Takeya felt the urge to get up, but didn't. "Syaoran!" He tried once more, but Syaoran never answered.

Takeya's feelings started to change from courage to fear. They were in a place of darkness without a single weapon in hand. Syaoran didn't answer, and his worst fear almost came to reality. What happened? He thought.

He heard noises behind him and gulped. His eyes turned, but his head stood still. He gripped onto Sakura tighter, making sure she was safe.

Great... just perfectly despicable...
