Lucky escape



Sakura mumbled in her sleep. 'Pst!"Sayraon shook Sakura again. "Hoe?"Sakura looked up. Syaoran smiled in the dim light emitted from the globe of green light. "Good, your awake, we have breakfast." Sakura frowned. You could have ran away by--." Syaoran sighed. "Sakura, Its not that simple. They slide the food through that slot over there in the back corner of the wall." Sakura felt foolish. "Okay." Sakura answered dumbly. Putting up her own dim light of pink, she saw the food and winced with disgust. "Better if you eat them without looking at the food." Syaoran commented as he eyes the worm filled muffins and the mold growing bread. There was a battered pitcher of water next to it. Sakura drank some of it. "The waters not tainted." Sakura said. Syaoran picked the worms out of a muffin. "Eat." He said to Sakura. Sakura grimanced. "No." Syaoran frowned. "If you wanna end up like our li'l friend Fred over by the corner......" Sakura's eyes grew wide and she gobbled the muffin down. Syaoran smiled. She was just too cute. He grimaced as he picked out the worms and ate the stale muffin. Sakura was still eyeing the skeleton by the corner fearfully. Sakura reached for more muffins but Syaoran stopped her. "Give it to the rats, if they get hungry with nothing to eat, they try to eat you, I know because the guy who was here before me.... before he went off to be Kemets gladiator........ he was bit savagely on the leg by one." Syaoran shook his head with the memory. Sakura looked even more scared as a rat the size of someones foot approached the plate, and snatched the muffin and skittered off to the corner. The rat was greeted by a chorus of squeaks. Sakura winced. Syaoran wiped the mold off the bread. 'If I were to eat my pea's right now, I would rather eat that then this.' Syaoran passionately hated pea's. Sakura sighed. Syaoran then remebered something. He was to be gladiator that day. He didn't want to tell Sakura, because most gladiators die the very first day they were set out to fight lions. Sakura must have noticed his sullen expression. "Syaoran is there something--." She was cut off by the slam of the iron doors to the dungeon slamming open. "Syaoran Li." A stern soldier dressed in a red and black uniform walked in, wrinkling his nose at the putrid smell. Syaoran rose up as if to sheild Sakura. The man hauled Syaoran away from the whimpering Sakura. "Syaoran!" Sakura grabbed the mans leg and clutched it as the soldier ruthlessy beated her arms against the obsedian wall. "Get off you whore!" He bellowed. Syaoran struggled and cursed as he saw Salkura get hurt. He tore at the man with his hands. "LEGGO OF ME!" Syaoran bellowed. The man cursed in pain as Sakura dug her sharp nails into the mans skin. He let Syaoran go. Syaoran grabbed the mans sword. 'Good thing I've studied the sword and had sword practice.' He thought quietly as he sliced the mans head off. Sakura let go, blood splattering onto her face. Sakura started to heave. "No sakura! We have to run!" Syaoran insisted, holding the bloodstained sword. He grabbed Sakuras hand. Syaoran heard someone yelling for backup. Syaoran clenched his teeth as they skirted the hallway and they almost were at the door when......

"Sakura...." Kemet sneered, suddelny appearing from behind a curtain. He blocked the path to their freedom. He held a whip and was slapping it against the palm of his hand, eyeing Sakura lustfully. Sakura winced. Syaoran became angry. 'So he was the one who whipped her on the leg?! I thought maybe he ordered a servant to do the dirty job and he does it?!' Syaoran saw a little way to escape. He suddenly let out a burst of brilliant green light. While Kemet was still blinking becuase of the after effect, Syaoran has dragged the whimpering Sakura from Kemet. Sakura was concentrating on soething.... Syaoran realized. He looked back. There was another Sakura in Kemets clutches. Her illusion. "Nice..." Syaoran whispered in her ears as she trotted behind him. They came to a dead end. A tall gray stone wall was their only obstacle now.

Sakura heard Syaoran curse softly. Sakura jumped as she heard kemets loud voice, "DAMMIT! It was an illusion! Find them! Both of them! NOW!" Sakura gasped as Syaoran suddenly hauled her up and started to float upwards. Sakura closed her eyes. 'I hate heights....' She thought with a queasy feeling building at the back of her belly. Suddenly, both the girl and boy stumbled onto the ground, but on the other side of the wall. Sakura got up, faced Syaoran. "How'd you......" She noticed his tired face. 'Of course! Magic! NO wonder he's drained.....' Sakura grabbed Syaoran. "I can.....run..." Syaoran said tiredly. Sakura shook her head, half carrying and half dragging Syaoran. She spotted a concealed hole on the side of a tree, looking like it would fit them both. She half dragged him in and shoved him. Syaoran sighed. "Sakura--." Sakura put a finger to her lips. "I'll handle this...." Sakura went out and took out the little pouch that her friend had given her. Then sprinkled the green pepper powder everywhere. Then she dove into the hole and securly positioned the bush over the hole. Both Syaoran and Sakura tensed as they heard the howling of blood hounds and the thunder of hooves. "She could'nt ave goutten fawr!" A deep voice with a scottish accent said as they heard the horses stopping in front of her tree. Sakuras back stiffened as she heard a dog sniffing the tree. Suddenly she heard the dog howl with pain. "AWROOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!" The dog yelled. Sakura peeped out from the hole. The dogs nose was bleeding, and the three others that accompanied the four soldiers. "They no use now." The scot said again as Syaoran yanked Sakura back into the hole. "Gotta tell lord Kemet, lets go back. Giddyap!" Syaoran and Sakura heard the whining of dogs and the sound of hooves getting fainter and fainter.

Sakura got scooted out. Syaoran followed her. "What happened?" He asked with round amber eyes. "I used green pepper powder." She replied. Sakura kneeled down besides Syaoran. "You need to rest.." Syaoran shook his head, suddenly feeling embaressed becuase of his smelly garment and his grimy face. "No. We need to move on or they will catch us." Syaoran said. Sakura helped him up. "Are you sure?" Syaoran wished he was in his princely suit. "Yes." He said. He watched as Sakura blushed. 'She so pretty....' He thought. Sakura felt self concious under his gaze, but she agreed. They started to sprint out toward the unknown. They never really noticed the gleam of golden eyes, watching them and following their every move. "So...... Thats Sakura and thats Syaoran......" The voice whispered as the figure slinked after the two.
