^.^ hurray! Well here I am again after like a month ¬_¬ but hey it wasn't my fault, so here goes the second Chapter.
Challenges
Syaoran never let go, and as they were falling he put his arms around her and pulled her close to him. Sakura also put her arms around him laying her head on his chest. Then it occurred to her. 'The Cards! How could I have been so stupid?' But as she dug into her clothes to take out the key, it wasn't where it usually was. Syaoran seeing what she wanted to do also tried to evoke his sword. Then he realised. They looked at each other realising the same thing at the same time. He realised he couldn't feel her aura, and she couldn't feel Syaoran's.
Syaoran turned her around so that he would hit first. If someone had to die, it wouldn't be Sakura. Sakura turned to look at him. He gave her a little smile. They looked at each other for what seemed like the longest time. Then something caught Sakura's eye. It seemed like a red vine, coming from the trees with shocking speed.
"Syaoran!" she shouted as it approached them.
She turned herself around with a quick move. And the vine wrapped itself around her waist pulling her back with great force causing her to let go of Syaoran. He kept falling; the vine suspended Sakura. She watched him fall beneath the trees. How could she have done that? She wanted to protect him and she ended up killing him. Tears began to fill her eyes, she didn't notice the vine was moving. She didn't care. What had she done?
"SYAORAN!!" she screamed at the trees. She took her hands to her face and began to cry uncontrollably.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Syaoran still fell to the ground leaving Sakura in what looked like a giant vine. He sighed a bit. 'Good, now that she is all right, I have to save myself,' he thought looking around the trees. He saw a long sturdy branch and extended out his arms ready to grab it.
"Ahh!" he screamed as he felt a sudden pain in his left foot. As if something were pulling it hard. He looked up and saw one of the sane red vines wrap itself around it and begin to lift him up.
"SYAORAN!!" he heard Sakura scream from above the treetops.
The vine stopped in front of what seemed like a big cave in a tree, this is where the vine that had his foot and another that was above the treetops came out of. The trees were enormous, probably like Sycamores, but much wider too. He herd the trees above him shuffle, the other vine was moving down to where he was. It came down below the foliage, and he saw Sakura, her hands were covering her face and her right leg was still bleeding from the cut. She didn't seem to care. He was still looking up at when he felt a tiny drop of water on his chin.
'Is she crying for me?' he wondered.
"Sakura..." he said softly as she approached him.
She looked up quickly and gasped. They were now side by side, only Syaoran was upside down. He gave her a warm smile and offered her his blue handkerchief. The vines had been moving toward the cave and they were now almost completely inside, when Syaoran herd something from deep in. He looked to the dark hole and saw what looked like a shark's mouth, with endless layers of blue teeth. Wide open. Not a good sign.
"Time to go." He said to her as he hauled himself up his vine and broke himself free.
He didn't have magic, but he still had his fighting skills. The creature, what ever it was, made an awful shrieking noise, and it began to wrap Sakura all the way and pull her in.
"Syaoran!" she said with difficulty as the weed wrapped itself around her neck and chest.
"No you don't!" he said jumping to where the other vine was. He had almost gotten her free, when another vine shot out of the whole and grabbed his arm pulling him away.
"Sakura!" he screamed seeing that it was not letting her breath. He took the vine with his other hand and began to pull it off his arm. When he was free he jumped up and sliced the weed that was holding Sakura with a fast kick. She fell, to the ground. He went after her, reaching the ground first and catching her right after he landed.
"Sakura!" he yelled again.
Her eyes fluttered and slowly opened. She saw his concerned face and looked around. Not knowing what had just happened. He smiled and then he began to run away from the man-eating tree.
"We have to get out of here." He said looking back to see if the vines still came.
Soon they came out to a small clearing where there were big rocks, and foot tall grass. He jumped up on a big, high rock and put her down.
"Are you all right?" he asked her
She stared at him for a second and then wrapped her arms around him. Syaoran froze and turned red but suddenly noticed she was crying.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" he asked again
She shook her head, took in a few deep breaths and tried her best not to cry any more. She backed away a little and said to him
"Syaoran, I'm so sorry! I... I just wanted to protect you but... you kept falling and I... Then you saved me. I'm so sorry! I can't do anything right!" she said hugging him again
"It's all right. I'm fine. That wasn't your fault." He said soothingly to her putting his arms around her shoulders.
He sat down and let her cry a bit. After a while Sakura fell asleep. Syaoran wanted to do the same, but that had not been an ordinary plant back there. He stayed awake trying to make sense out of this world. Because this was definitely not earth. He looked down at the sleeping Beauty in his lap as she moved to get in a more comfortable position. He smiled a bit but thought she had to be uncomfortable sleeping on a rock. The grass was pretty high. And there obviously was nothing in it. So he carefully picked her up and jumped off the rock, setting her down in the fluffy grass. He blushed a little seeing her sleep so peacefully. Then he noticed the long cut on her lower leg. Strange, but it was still bleeding. The cut above her cheek was getting dry, but he decided it would be better if he cleaned it also. He had seem a small pond nearby, so he got up and took out his handkerchief again. Getting to the pond he kneeled down, the water looked pretty clean so he took a drink. When he was satisfied he dipped the piece of cloth in the water and hurried back to where Sakura was.
She had turned a bit and now the cut on her cheek was on the side that was to the ground. He tried to tilt her head just a bit so that he could clean it. But feeling his hand on her cheek, Sakura took it and snuggled her face in it as if it were a pillow. Syaoran's face went red. 'Oh no! What the hell do I do now?' he thought as he tried to pull his hand out. He tried his best to do it slowly, but Sakura was waking up, and her head was not moving. She would wake up and see his hand under her head! 'Oh crap!' He thought.
Sakura moved just the slightest bit and Syaoran managed to get his hand free. But her hand raced forward and caught it just before it went to far. Syaoran groaned and his face went totally red. Sakura giggled a bit. He turned slightly to where she was and saw that she was giggling. 'So she had been awake since I got here?' he thought.
Sakura sat up still giggling at seeing Syaoran's red face. "I'm sorry." She said smiling "But what were you trying to do?"
"Um, well, I... I was going to clean your... your..." he said pointing below Sakura's left eye. Still blushing.
Apparently she hadn't noticed and just now she took her hand to the cut, touched it and winced.
"Here don't touch it." said Syaoran taking her hand away from her cheek.
He gently took her face in his hands and began to clean the wound, looking carefully at it, examining it. Sakura couldn't keep her eyes off him. Syaoran had always been there to protect her. But this was the first time, he had done something with this much detail. 'He really does care about me' she said to herself. She remembered the feeling that she had gotten when he said he wouldn't let her go to save himself. Her cheeks got hot and began to turn a slight tinge of pink. Syaoran noticed this and looked up at her. She was staring right at him. They stayed glued to each other's eyes for a while. He was so close to her face, and with his hands holding it so gently.
Syaoran looked away, blushing himself as well. "Um...that cut seems really deep, I'm gonna clean it a little better." He said getting back to his work
Sakura also stepped out of her trance and just smiled. When he was finished cleaning it he looked at the other cut on her leg very concerned.
"What's wrong?" she asked him
"Well, it seems you still have something in there." He said
He took her right leg and cleaned the blood that had dripped around it. Getting closer to the wound, he could feel her twitch because of the pain. He looked up to make sure she was all right.
"Don't worry, go on." She said smiling
When he was done cleaning it he sighed. He had been right, there was a piece of that clear stuff in the cut, the problem was, it was big, and very deep in.
"Ok, I can get it out, but it's really gonna hurt." He said to her.
He squatted in a different angle to grab it easier. With his fingertips he got a good grip on it and slowly began to pull. He would have done it fast but it could break if he did that. Syaoran looked over at Sakura. Her eyes were shut in pain and her fists where clenched. He stopped pulling seeing her like that.
"Sakura." He said
She opened her eyes, a little moist with tears. She was trying to hide them but Syaoran knew better. He extended his hand out to hers and gave her a warm comforting smile. She seamed a bit surprised, but she took it.
"Ok, here I go again." He said to her. Sakura nodded, took a deep breath and tightened her grip on Syaoran's hand.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"There, that should do it." He said with satisfaction
He had pulled the piece out, cleaned the wound, banded it with a piece of his shirt, and tied it with his handkerchief.
"You'll be ok for a while, but that won't last forever. You need to see a doctor. We should probably move on a bit." He said
"But it's getting dark, and besides, you would have to carry me." She said to him
"Exactly, it's getting late. I don't know where we are, but I'd rather not spend the night here in the open. We'd be too vulnerable. We can't go back to that crazy forest, so lets go see what's ahead." He said squatting in front of her.
She put her arms around his chest and tried her best to lift herself up on his back. He took her legs with his hands and gave her a little boost. When she was comfortably on, he stood up and began to walk. Sakura was blushing a bit, 'he is so nice' she thought.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
After walking for like an hour, Syaoran had gotten a little tired. They had reached the edge of another forest and decided to sleep there, not too deep in the forest, and not to far away from the field. Syaoran had cut some of the grass and made a little bed for Sakura.
"What about you?" asked Sakura
"I can't go to sleep." said Syaoran kneeling by the tree next to her little bed. He relaxed his head against it and shut his eyes. "I have to keep look out."
Sakura sat up and looked over at him, he was tired.
"But you haven't slept at all. And I have, besides, you are the only one who can do something if another monster attacks us, and you don't need a healthy leg to keep lookout. So why don't you go to sleep and I'll wake you up if I see anything." She said smiling. He looked back at her with admiration, just smiled and nodded.
"Thanks," he said to her as he let himself drop a little more on the tree and got in a comfortable position. Sakura smiled back and also lay her head against the tree.
"Good night Syaoran." She said softly
"Good night Sakura." He answered back.
He didn't take long going to sleep. 'He must be really tired, because of me.' She thought as she looked at his sleeping face.
Sakura got that warm feeling again and an amazing urge to just hug him for being so nice. Some of his bangs were over his eyes and something above his right eyebrow caught her attention. She softly moved some of his hair out of the way to see a red bruise there. She smiled sadly thinking of everything he was willing to do for her.
"I would do the same for you." She said sweetly
horray! Fan fiction is back! Well any who, that was my second chapter, please keep reading, I'm actually finished with the story, all I have to do is post it. So see you next time.
