1 Chapter 5
Sakura's POV:
Breathing was getting difficult, and the horses were right behind us. Pulling on Princess Tomoyo's hand, I ran faster. Sadly we weren't fast enough. The soldiers' horses caught up with us. Screaming, the soldiers caught us about our waists and threw us in front of them on their horses, both of on separate horses than the other. Getting picked up, I started scratching the man.
"Let go! Don't hurt her!"
Riding side-saddle, the soldier tightened his grip around my waist so I couldn't jump.
"Don't hurt her! Let her go!"
I could hear the Princess screaming also,
"Help! Let go! HELP!!!!!!" before the soldiers clasped a hand over her mouth. Closing my eyes, I felt Keroberos moving around in my pocket, where he was hidden. Nonetheless, my eyes flashed open and I gasped when the soldiers tightened his grip around my waist. The horse gave a great whinny, and was answered far off. Clearing the village forest, we stopped in their encampment. Swinging us off the horses, the two soldiers held our arms behind us and thrust us into one of the tents.
"Wait here."
Falling against me, Princess Tomoyo breathed shakily. Right now, it didn't matter that she was the princess and I was a peasant. As I stroke her hair, I spoke to her.
"It's all right, Princess, I'll keep us safe."
Really, I wasn't worried all too much. Clow HAD said that Syaoran-kun was here. Keroberos popped out of my pocket, gasping for air.
"What's going on, where are we?"
Shushing him, I said,
"We're in the Li's camp. I can keep us safe. I don't-."
I was cut off short as the tent flap was shoved open.
************************************************************************
Gasping, I plucked Keroberos out of the air and shoved him in my pocket, where he gave a muffled groan. Surprised, Princess gave a squeak and fell backwards, pulling me down also. Soon after, I heard, "Sakura?" and looked up.
"Syao-Prince Syaoran?!"
Surprised, I gave a muffled "Hoe!" Helping us up, Syaoran forced some of his kawaii messy hair out of his face.
"Princess, we don't plan on hurting you, and there's no way in hell I'm letting anyone touch Sakura-chan. We just want the Clow book. We won't hurt you, but we need the book."
Glancing at me, Pri-no, I'll her by her name. Glancing at me, Tomoyo-chan silently moaned and muttered under her breath. Taking his hand, I looked him in the eyes and asked,
"I can trust you, right? If you get the book, you'll personally stop this ridiculous war?"
To the first question, I got a positive yes. To the second, he hesitated.
"Hai. I will stop the war"
Blinking once, I cleared my head. Sighing, I pulled out my necklace, for it had turned back in the confusion.
"Do you recognize this?"
Inhaling sharply, he took it.
"Clow's staff. Where did you get this?"
Looking him straight in the eyes, I said,
"I got it from Clow Reed himself."
Syaoran's POV:
I wasn't sure if she was playing a game with me. Her eyes said she wasn't. Of a sudden, a rustling came from her skirt and a stuffed animal popped out.
"Sakura!! What are you doing? Ain't her the enemy?"
Jumping a step back, the stuffed animal flew into her face.
"Kero, I trust Syaoran. I know won't hurt or use us."
"Keroberos? The guardian beast? Nani?"
Sighing, Sakura settled Kero on her shoulder.
"Syaoran, you must stop the war, for I not only show you the Clow, but also, their Mistress."
************************************************************************
Muddled, I looked into her emerald eyes.
"Sakura? You're the Mistress? But where are3 the cards?"
Smiling weakly, she pulled the book slightly out of her pocket.
"Best to hide it."
Returning her smile, I said,
"I'm calling off the war."
Calling my sentries in, I proclaimed that "I, Prince Syaoran, crown Prince of the Li Kingdom, call off the war with the Daidouji Kingdom."
Turning to Tomoyo, I said,
"Please accept my apologies. You shall be allowed to go home tomorrow, for it'll take that long to withdraw my soldiers."
Turning to my sentries, I told them to take care of things. After they left, Sakura asked me,
"Syaoran, what about me?"
Giving a half smile, I replied,
"I suppose you'll come home with me, where we can take care of you. Meiling's been put away, for what she did."
Putting her hand in mine, I pulled her a little closer.
"I'll get you two cots. Gomen, Princess, but that's the best we have. I'll be back in a minute."
Sakura's POV:
After Syaoran left, Tomoyo-chan gaped at me.
"Sakura-chan, you and the prince?!"
Sheepish, I nodded.
