Hey guys, here's chapter ten, thanks for all those who reviewed, you make me a happy author :3

I don't own Tsubasa Chronicles or Cardcaptor Sakura XD

The lights emanated from the window shined into the patient room. Sakura opened her eyes slowly to the shining light. She reached her hand towards the back of the bed. Where's my alarm clock? Wait…where am I? Sakura thought while rubbing her eyes. She winced when her hand came into contact with her face. Then everything began to click.

Her crazy days when she traveled through time and met a group of travelers who were on a quest. In order to return home, Sakura needed to help them with their quest. For that reason, she had to enter a crazy competition, with its weird challenges.

Sakura slowly sat up, being careful of her hands. She put her hands up to her face, and observed them. From her wrist down to her elbow looked like a normal burn, which seemed to have been treated. However, her hands were marked with the weird symbol she had seen earlier.

Miraculously, Sakura had made it through the challenges, and is now moving to the third round. She smiled and touched her heart. Shaoran, she thought recalling what happened what happened in the last round.

Sakura then lifted off the sheets to reveal her dirty and semi ripped clothes. She started to come out of the bed when she heard footsteps, frantically running toward the door. The door flung open to reveal the Tsubasa group, Jin and Tokino. They all came towards her.

Sakura backed up, not knowing what kind of scolding she would receive.

"Sakura-san! How are-" Syaoran began to ask, but was interrupted by the princess.

"Sakura-chan!" The princess exclaimed gripping her shoulders as she started shaking her. "Why. Did. You. Do. That!"

When the princess let go of her Sakura tried to re-focus herself. Everyone stared at her waiting for an answer. Sakura had a few options on how to respond, sadly she choose the worst choice…to play dumb.

"D-do what?" She asked hesitantly.

"Baka!" both Kurogane and Jin yelled at the same time. They exchanged glares quickly before turning back to Sakura.

"Sakura-san, why'd you do something that dangerous?" Syaoran asked again.

Sakura smiled, "Because I need to help you get the feather," she stated. Syaoran looked at her sadly. It was his responsibility, so he didn't want to have to bring Sakura into the madness too.

"Sakura-chan, you don't need to help me get my feather," The princess said looking at Sakura's burnt arms. Sakura grabbed the princess's hands.

"I know that princess. I'm helping get your feather because I want to. If I didn't want to, I wouldn't be doing this would I?" Sakura stated with a smile.

"…Thank you," was all the princess was able to say.

Then Tokino walked up to Sakura and bent down. He took one of her arms and held it out to observe. He stared at it for a second before turning to Sakura.

"Good, it looks like it is getting better," he said smiling slightly, but then his expression turned serious. "I can't believe they'd do this to a little, helpless girl," he said no offense intended. Sakura pulled her hand back quickly. Everyone looked at her surprised.

"What's wrong Sakura-san?" Syaoran asked, surprised at her gesture.

Sakura pouted. "After what I just did, people still call me a helpless little girl."

"I don't think that's the point actually," Fai said crouching down next to her. He took her arm in his hand and observed it also. "Does it hurt little princess?"

Sakura, who didn't want to look like a weak, little girl raised her head high. "Nope! Not one bit!" Sakura said with a closed eyed smile. Everyone stared at her.

"Hmmmm," Fai hummed with a smile. "Is that so?" He asked. And then he placed a little pressure on her hand.

"OW!" Sakura said pulling her arm back. She looked up to see everyone looking at her. She knew they were all thinking, so what doesn't hurt? Suddenly Jin came up and pulled Sakura up forcefully.

"Hey!" Kurogane began to say in the background, but was stopped by Kero. Kero shook his head as he observed Jin.

Jin grabbed Sakura by the wrist, and observed her hand. He looked up and down her hand marked with the symbol. After he looked at her hand a while he sighed and released it.

"Figures," He said folding his arms.

"What is it?" Syaoran asked. Jin turned and looked at the Tsubasa group who he hand ran into yesterday. Then he remembered Sakura had been with them before. Jin suddenly got irritated.

"It's nothing," Jin said looking back at Sakura.

A vein popped on Kurogane's forehead. "Oi, brat, you got something to say, then say it." Jin glared at Kurogane as sparks erupted between their eyes.

"Yo, Jin, cool it would ya," Tokino said placing Jin in a headlock. "You sure can be a hothead," Tokino said with a pretend sigh. A vien popped on Jin's forehead.

"So can Kuro-sama," Fai chimed.

"Shut up!" Kurogane exclaimed. Fai just laughed it off.

Sakura started to laugh too, but soon she stopped, and gripped her side. A sharp pain grabbed her side. Could this be from using Celin? This isn't even the full effect of my price. I wonder how I would feel if I used my magic…Sakura shivered at the thought. Sakura, who still gripped her side, looked up to see everyone looking at her.

"Sakura-san, are you okay?" Syaoran asked concerned. Sakura immediately released her hand from her side.

"Yea, yea, couldn't be better!" Sakura said waving her hands side to side, as she laughed awkwardly. Everyone looked at her unconvinced. Suddenly a growling sound emanated from Sakura's stomach.

"Haha, Sakura-chan is hungry!" Mokana exclaimed bouncing around. Sakura's cheeks turned bright red, as she looked down embarrassed.

"N-not really," Sakura said. Her stomach then growled again, and her cheeks turned even redder. The Tsubasa gang smiled at her embarrassed expression.

Tokino walked up and placed something in Sakura's hand. Sakura looked at the circular, cake looking food in her hand, and then looked at Tokino.

"Is this for me?" Sakura asked.

Tokino smiled. "Yep, its extra protein, so it's good for you. Eat up," He said ruffling her hair.

"Thank you," Sakura said with her signature smile.

"No prob," Tokino said, returning the smile. Jin folded his arms and turn away in the background. Tokino turned back and smiled. He's acting like a kid, he thought, laughing to himself.

Sakura took a bit of the cake, and she instantly felt better. Then Sakura remembered something, and turned to Tokino.

"Tokino-kun, where is Mori-kun?" Sakura asked. Tokino snapped his fingers, as though he just remembered.

"Well, he was hurt pretty bad after the first round, so I took him to the healers," Tokino stated. Sakura inferred that the healers where the equivalent to doctors. "Yea, and so, when I had heard what happened to you I came over. Mori wasn't in the best condition, but he told me to tell you that he was worried about you."

"Oh, that's nice of him," Sakura said. "But, how'd you know what happened to me?"

"Well, one, it's spreading all over the news," Tokino stated. "The amazing traveler who accepted the prince's challenge and succeeded," he said, mimicking a news reporter.

"What, really, people are taking about me?" Sakura asked. Tokino nodded. "Is that how you found out?"

"Actually, Jin contacted me on the phone. He sounded quite panicked and desperate when he told me about you. I don't think I've ever heard him like that. Well, actually, there was this time-" Tokino began to say, but was interrupted by receiving a whack on the back of head by Jin.

"That's enough out of you," Jin said deadpanned.

"Hey you brat," Tokino said placing Jin in a headlock. "Don't get cocky just cuz' you got to the final round. I can still kick your butt like back then," Tokino said with a smirk.

"Get off of me you idiot!" Jin said pushing Tokino off of him.

"Still got the same temper I see," Tokino laughed.

"Shut up!" Jin yelled.

Syaoran and the princess watched the two bicker. Then they looked at each other as if they were thinking the same thing.

"Where have we seen this before?" Syaoran asked.

"I don't know, but is seems familiar," The princess replied. Then they looked over to their two traveling companions.

"Oh yea," they both said in unison.

Sitting on the bed Sakura smiled. So he was worried about me…Jin-chan is a really nice person even if he doesn't seem like it at first, Sakura thought. Then she started to get out of the bed. She planted her feet on the floor and used the bed to support herself. She slowly took a step and let go of the bed only to fall face first onto the floor.

"Sakura-san!" Syaoran exclaimed, going over to help her up. Everyone came towards her. "Are you okay? What's the matter?" Syaoran asked carefully helping her up to her feet.

Sakura tried her best to smile. "I-I guess I'm still a little out of it."

Syaoran looked at her sadly. She was in her condition because she was trying to get the feather, which was his responsibility. Enough is enough, Syaoran thought.

"Sakura-san," Syaroan called.

"What?" Sakura asked tilting her head.

"Don't keep doing this. We can get the feather another way," Syaoran stated.

"Wait, but I went this far," Sakura tried to argue.

"And look how you turned out," Kurogane interrupted.

"But-" Sakura whined.

"I think it is for the best," Fai stated.

"But-" Sakura tried to say again.

"Yea Sakura, you should stop. I don't know what the whole deal is with this feather is, but I don't think you should put your safety in risk," Tokino said.

"B-" Sakura began to say.

"I agree! Sakura-chan, please stop," The princess pleaded.

"Kero-chan," Sakura said, looking over desperately at Kero.

"Sorry Sakura," Kero said showing her that he couldn't help her out in this one.

"Alright, let's go," Kurogane said picking up Sakura and slinging her over his shoulder like a sack.

"NOOOOOOO!" Sakura exclaimed childishly moving her arms and legs up and down. "PUT ME DOWN!" She continued to whine as she squirmed. Kurogane didn't listen.

"Now Kuro-tan, be careful with her," Fai said with a smile.

"LET ME GO. LET ME GO. LET ME GOOOOO!" Sakura exclaimed, being extremely difficult.

"Stop being difficult," Kurogane said, as the group started to move toward the door. Suddenly, the door slammed shut right before the moved out.

"Put her down," Jin commanded. He had kicked the door shut, and now was in the middle of a stare down with Kurogane.

"Who do you think you are?" Kurogane asked coldly. He looked like he was about to throw Jin up against the wall.

"Kurogane, maybe we should listen to him," Syaoran said softly. Kurogane looked at Syaoran for a second and then sighed and put Sakura back down on the floor.

"You're not going to quit, right?" Jin asked, keeping a straight face.

"Nope," Sakura said shaking her head.

"But-" Syaoran began to say, but was stopped by Kero.

"Let's see what this kid has to say," Kero said, watching Jin intensely. Seems another brat has made an appearance, Kero thought, as he watched Jin stare at Sakura for a second and then sigh.

"Then let me give you a bit of info, so listen up," Jin stated, as Sakura nodded. "The third round is going to be an obstacle course."

"Oh, that's not-" Sakura began to say.

"Shut up," Jin stated harshly. "I know it may sound easy, but it is not. The thing is that there are no rules."

"N-no rules," Sakura asked, hoping she had heard it wrong.

"Yea, meaning anything can happen," Jin stated, and then his expression turned hard. "Hikaru will use this opportunity to the fullest, and I have a feeling that he is out to get you."

Sakura shivered at the thought. She would have to be fast and lucky to get through the obstacle course.

"Another thing is I have a feeling the prince and his idiot attendants are going to use you as a pawn and make things difficult for you," Jin said, coldness edged his voice as he mentioned the prince. "But despite all this you are still going to do this aren't you?"

Sakura giggled and then smiled, "Well, of course."

Then, the next thing she knew she had something tossed in her face. Sakura pulled it off, and realized it was a new pair of clothes.

"Is this for me?" Sakura asked holding out the oversized t-shirt.

"Yea, there mine, so they'll be big," Jin stated.

"Thanks, I'm going to change and meet you out there," Sakura said as she started walking to the door.

"Wait," Syaoran called. Sakura stopped and then listened. "Sakura-san aren't you scared?"

Sakura smiled and turned, "Well, of course I'm scared, but if I didn't do things that I was scared of then I wouldn't be who I am today."

And with that she ran out the door.
