Following Heart's Way Chapter 11

The group started walking off, greeting the guards at the gate and passing it to the other side of the city walls. Outside was just a barren field, with many trees and mountains standing erect in the pathway. There was little wind blowing to the east way where the group was headed.

Inside the carriage where our Syaoran and Sakura sits and waits upon, there were food, bags of clothes, utensils for eating, towels, money, and of course, the medicine to give to the elder. No one was allowed in the carriage except Syaoran, and of course, his maids, which is only Sakura.

Sakura moved the curtains a little bit, looking outside to see the castle getting smaller and smaller. 'I'll miss you Tomoyo, Eriol, and my family' she thought.

Seeing Sakura dazed upon the view of the barren land, Syaoran said aloud "What is there to see that amazes you? All I can see is the barren land"

Sakura snapped out of her thoughts, and looked at Syaoran. "I miss my friends and family already, and I have never gone out of city gates" Upon hearing this, Syaoran chuckled. "Don't worry, this trip won't take long. It'll pass by like a day and you won't even notice it, then you'll be with your friends and family again. Besides, I wont ask for much from you" said Syaoran, with a small smile implanted on his lips, and he nodded reassuringly.

Sakura now felt confident, seeing that this king would say such thing to her.

Sakura also nodded. "Arigato" and she smiled her bright smile that no man can resist.

Looking at her irresistible smile, a little blood ran to his cheeks, but he managed to not blush or else she will ask what was wrong.

"You welcome"



2 days have passed, and the group has only rested once. They needed to get to the elder early, or else he will fail. It was nighttime, so the group decided to take a small break. Sakura went to make tea for Syaoran, while he was practicing his martial arts with his sword.



Unnoticeable, multiple eyes looked at them behind the bushes, unmoved in their position.

"Children, it is time" a dark hoarse voice commanded silently.

Suddenly, around 30 people wrapped in black clothes surrounded the carriage silently. Drawing their long ninja-like swords, they tiptoed to the guards, who were sleeping peacefully dreaming of girls, and killed them with one swift move.

The ninjas crept to the carriage, got in, and saw what they always wanted to see, supplies and supplies.

Out of the corner of one of the ninja's eye, he saw a beautiful girl making tea for her master. "Boss," he whispered silently and pointing towards the girl.

"What should we do with her?"

The person next to the ninja, who was the boss, looked at the girl. "I keep her. Grab her now"

While Sakura was making tea, she heard several whispers behind her. She turned around, frightened by what she saw, and she screamed.



'What was that?' thought Syaoran as he turned around to look at his guards.

'What the hell happened? SAKURA?' He ran to the carriage, looked in, and saw many black clothed dress people grabbing Sakura. He also saw a bigger person who was caressing Sakura's face.

"Who are you!" yelled Syaoran, pointing his sword to the direction of the ninjas. The group's boss turned around, looking at Syaoran as a baker looks to a rat.

"No one you will want to know about" said the huge man, as he turned back around and started down Sakura's silk robe. "Don't touch her or else you will have to face me!" yelled Syaoran, anger burning in him.

Now the boss was ticked off. He turned around to look at Syaoran again, and called to his group "Get him! Seize him and cut off his head!"

With that command called, the boss started to unbutton Sakura's robe.

The ninjas ran to Syaoran, and started attacking him. However, their skill was not yet as brilliant as Syaoran's. The ninjas ran up to him one by one, or even two by two, but were always thrown back by the mighty force of Syaoran's sword.

'Pathetic' thought Syaoran as he finished his job and all the ninjas were down except for the boss, and one ninja who seized Sakura. "I said, let her go or else you will be lying here with the other ninjas!"

The boss turned his head, glanced at the dead men lying about his eyes. 'No..' he thought. This wasn't supposed to happen! Then he looked at Syaoran and his sword, which was dripping with blood. He froze. How did this man, right here, get past 30 of my people? It was impossible. Since his 'family' was dead, he minus well just be with them in the clouds, so he ran over to Syaoran, drawing his sword about, and started fighting with Syaoran.

'This one was stronger' thought Syaoran as Sakura and even the ninja who seized her now, was watching in amazement as they heard the sound of swords banging against each other.

After about 8 minutes of fighting, the two stopped for a while, a great distance between them. They were panting for breath and leaning against their swords.

Syaoran got up and started after the boss again, and the sound of swords banging each other was heard again. By now, the ninja has let go of Sakura because he was too engrossed into the scene. Sakura buttoned her robe quickly, and also stared at Syaoran's fighting skills.

And after 2 more minutes, Syaoran has finally pinned down the boss with the tip of his sword just slightly above the boss' neck. "I got you now" he said.

"Kill me. Kill me now, for I had done wrong to you. Just do it!"

Syaoran stared down at him, glaring at this man who touched Sakura. He then raised his sword from the boss' neck. "Go before I kill you, and never do this again, you hear?" said Syaoran.

The boss looked at Syaoran, a confused look on his face. He then got up quickly, motioned for the other ninja to come with him, and they both fled away quickly.

Syaoran dropped his sword and ran over to Sakura, who was still shocked of what happened just now.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" questioned Syaoran. '

"No, he didn't. He just did some things that I wouldn't like him to do to me. Other than that, I'm fine.. thanks to you" said Sakura as she wept in Syaoran's arms, head on his chest, his arms around her back.

It's alright now. Morning will come soon. We'll figure what to do and where to go in the morning. For now, Sakura, have a good sleep and tomorrow we will have a plan..

~~The day after~~

"Wake up, sleepy head" said Syaoran as he shook Sakura by her arm.

Sakura opened her eyelids, bright sunlight shining about into her emerald gems.

She got up, and looked at Syaoran. "So do you have a plan yet?" she asked.

"Yes in fact, I do. I just noticed that we are close to the Tehem Kingdom. Look, there's a sign here that says its just 20 more hours away. With the horses we have, we'll get there in around 4 days. But of course, we will rest, so we'll get there in around 5 days."

Understandingly, Sakura nodded in approval. "But what about getting back?"

"We'll do the same, only we'll take longer. Probably around 2 weeks to get back.. Atleast that delays my wedding with Eva. Heh.." said Syaoran as he looked onto the bright side.

"Yeah.." 'Longer til I get to see my friends and family..' Sakura thought sadly.

Then, they walking east, towards the Tehem kingdom, unaware of what is going to happen soon.
