Sakura Golden Wolf's Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa! It's me! OK, um……. I was wondering if any of you even read this part of the story, so I was wondering if you could review this part! ^-^ Arigato! If you don't like it, I could just forego it. In this chapter, part of it is from Yukito's POV! And a friendly forewarning! In this chapter, I use a lot of Japanese, so I'm planning to put a dictionary somewhere in this chapter. It's kinda depressing though, nobody's reviewed for a while. So, if I don't get five reviews for this chapter, you're not gonna see another! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *-*() Ano…. Arigato to all those who have reviewed, though! *Sniff* You make me feel so wanted! Oh well, I'll get to the story for now. Hey?! Has anyone out there ever seen The Odyssey?! I loved that movie, even though the teacher fast forwarded it through the good parts.
(Audience glares at SGW, who sweatdrops.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Gomen nasai! Gomen nasai! I'll get to the story! *Mutters under breath*: Ungrateful….
(Audience gets up to leave)
Sakura Golden Wolf: No! Not you! Please don't leave! GOMEN NASAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please stay!!!!!!!!!
(Audience sits back down)
Sakura Golden Wolf: -_-() I'm going to go before I get in more trouble……

Chapter 20:
Syaoran's POV:
"Syaoran-kun, you've been sitting there for…. Two days now. Come, help me make supper."
Sighing, I squeezed Sakura's hand.
"I'll be back."
Following Yukito into the kitchen, I stood off to the side.
"I don't' quite know how to make food….. Just travelling provisions."
Smiling, Yukito pointed to a cutting bowl.
"Just chop those vegetables. I'll cut the meat."
Picking up the knife, I slowly cut the carrots, cucumbers, and sliced the potatoes. Looking out the window, I stared at the trees. What was Sakura dreaming? Was she all right? If she got hurt in the yume sekai, the dream world, did it appear here? Tensing suddenly, I dropped the knife. Power surge! But that should only happen when Sakura was using the cards! Dashing back to the room, I stopped short. Four cards lay on the table by Sakura. Float, Windy, Move, and Change. Next to the cards lay a little rock carving, something like a bird. Coming up behind me, Yukito asked,
"What is it?"
Picking up the cards, I fanned them out.
"Float, Windy, Move, Change…."
Glancing at Sakura, I dropped the cards.
"Noroi!"
A huge bruise had appeared right above her cheek bone, shining black and blue. Leaving, Yukito came back with fresh bandages and poultice. As he moved towards Sakura, I put a hand on his shoulder.
"May, I do that, please??"
Handing them to me, he smiled as I blushed.
"Make sure you change them. I'll finish supper."
Setting them on the table, I put the cards in her book, and set it in her satchel. Taking the cloth off her forehead, I gingerly lay a fresh one on. Gently, I dabbed the herb scented oil on her bruises, and rebandaged them. Moving delicately, I wrapped her sling, and, careful not to move it too much, washed and reset the splints. Wrapping the sling back on, I put the old bandages in a basket and put the herbs in the kitchen cabinet, before helping Yukito.
Tomoyo's POV:
Stretching out, I blinked. 'Oh dear. I must have fallen asleep. What time is it?' Looking up at the sky, I jumped backwards.
"Eriol!! Don't DO that!"
Standing up, I brushed off my dress as Eriol dropped down from the tree.
"How long have you been there?" 'Watching me.'
Smiling, Eriol took my hand.
"You look so kirei when you blush. Come, I must show you something I found."
Pulling on my hand, he led me past the tree line, past an out cropping of rocks.
"Close your eyes."
Taking both my hands, Eriol led me forward several feet before stopping.
"Here's a ledge. Watch you step."
Cautiously setting my foot down, I stepped off.
"All right, you may open your eyes now."
Opening my eyes, I breathed in.
"Nanto kawaii! Doyatte anata kare?"
Giving me a smile, he led me to some flat rocks. He had found a wide stream, one that had gentle currents, and as we sat there, a fish even jumped out of the water. Leaning over, I trailed my finger in the water.
"Eriol-"
Flinching, I fell backwards as the arrow struck the tree behind us with a loud "Thwack!" Jumping forward, Eriol caught me before I could hit the ground.
"Tomoyo? Are you all right?"
Looking up into his blue(?) eyes, he helped me up.
"Daijobu. What was that?"
Pulling it out of the tree, Eriol examined it.
"It has the green band of the Li around it, but it has yellow feathers. Could it be the Kiyoto's? We aren't too far from their territory."
Looking across the stream, I saw a movement in the trees.
"Are they warning us off their land?"
"I don't know."
Watching the shadow, I was surprised when I saw another move. Suddenly, I saw both of them move closer.
"E-Eriol?"
Taking his eyes off the arrow, he looked at me.
"What-"
Lunging forward, he grabbed hold of me with one arm, while using the other to hold up a shield. Roaring water surrounded us, pounding the sparking blue shield that Eriol was maintaining.
"Er-riol! What's going on?!"
"I-I don't…. know!"
Burying my face in his robes, I hid my eyes from the sight. Through the roaring of the water, we could hear talking.
"He is strong, imoto."
"Hai, Oniisan. But he is not the one we are looking for."
"True. Come, we must find the Mistress."
Suddenly, the water disappeared, and we were left alone again. Taking my face out of his robes, I looked around with wide eyes.
"What was that?!"
Extracting his arm from my waist, he took hold of my hand and pulled me after him.
"They must have been one of those creatures! They're going after Sakura- chan!"
Lifting me over the edge, we continued running.
Eriol's POV:
My heart was beating quickly in my chest as we ran. Probing, I found that Nakuru and Spinel were flying in the forest.
"Nakuru! Spinel! Get back to the cabin! NOW! They're attacking! Iie, I don't know! Go on!"
Stopping right at the clearing, I hid Tomoyo behind a tree.
"Tomoyo stay here. Onegai shimasu!"
Running into the clearing, I ran into the cabin.
Yukito's POV:
Hearing the door slam open, Syaoran-kun and I dropped our bowls on the table and ran to the living room, where Eriol-sama was leaning on the door.
"We're going to be attacked!"
Suddenly, water burst through the windows, in what appeared as tendrils. Wrapping around us, they pinned me before I could transform. Wrapping around the unconscious Sakura, the door flew open and she was pulled out in a great rush. Dragging us after her, the water lifted us ten feet off the ground. Struggling, I tried to transform, Eriol-sama tried to summon magic, and Syaoran-kun tried to reach his sword. The creature's holding us were human shaped, but had pointy ears, and blue hair. Coming out of the woods, my fellow Guardians stopped below us,. Throwing a fire ball, Keroberos but us loose, one at a time. Dropping to the ground, Syaoran-kun grabbed his sword as I transformed.
Syaoran's POV:
Drawing my sword, I did a triple somersault to where Sakura was, calling on my fire rune. Blasting through the water, furiously, I caught her, cradling her in my arms. Glaring at the two beings, I yelled at them.
"She's not awake, why do you want to fight her?!"
The one closest to me, the female, laughed delicately, the sound one of braking waves. When she spoke it reminded me of the ocean waves, touching up onto the shore.
"Why, dear boy, we do not want to FIGHT her! Oh, no, no, no! You misunderstand! We just want to…….. borrow her!"
Smiling shrewdly, she took a step forward slightly, holding out her hand. Growling, I tightened my hold on Sakura and swung my sword in front of us with my free hand.
"She's not going ANYWHERE with you. I won't allow it."
Smiling sweetly, she pointed to Sakura.
"But look at how pale she is. And feel her skin, she must be burning up. We could help her."
Moving forward, she reached closer. Everything in me was screaming "No! Never! She will NOT!" Intensifying my glare, I took several steps backwards, settling Sakura against a tree, setting up a slight deflector. Taking my sword by both hands, I swung it in front of us.
"You'll have to get past me first, Hai."
Smiling wider, she flashed pearly white teeth.
"Ah, so. You know my name. Clever boy."
Glaring icily, I stepped slowly forward.
"You radiate it. Duh, of course I guessed it. Now, are you going to fight me or not?"
Placing her feet apart, she pulled a hair from her head and set it in mid- air in front of her.
"Mizu kogeki!"
Waving her hand over the hair, floods of water came pouring out of the thin, offensive thing. Slicing through it, I sliced my way closer to her. Severing the hair in two, I put a stop to the water. Swinging the blade, I called upon the fire lord.
"Lord of Fire! Hear my call! Come to my aid!"
Striking my ofuda, the fire lord flew at Hai. Throwing a ball of water, Hai flicked it aside. Throwing another ball of water with her other hand, Hai aimed for me. Jumping over her, I thrust my sword at her. Dodging, she flung threads of water from her fingers. Jumping up into the tree branches, away from Sakura, I called the thunder lord.
"Lord of Thunder, come to my aid!"
Striking another ofuda, tongues of lightening struck Hai, wrapping around her, squeezing. Screaming out, Hai vanished in a puff of smoke. Jumping down, I ran back to Sakura. Looking around, I saw Eriol throw a chain out of the sun on his staff, thus disappearing the male. Ridding the deflector, I picked Sakura up.
Tomoyo's POV:
Hiding in the trees where Eriol left me, I watched the two battles. Syaoran- kun fought the female, and Eriol and the Guardians fought the male. All right, I'll confess, I watched Eriol. Mostly. As soon as Syaoran-kun was distracted, the male faced Eriol. Since their words carried, I heard everything that was said. Facing Eriol, the male smirked at him.
"hello, I am Mai. We did not originally come to fight, but I am willing. It's a shame. The Mistress is beautiful."
Waving his arms in a circle, he threw a water ring at Eriol. Calling out his staff, Eriol cut through it. Coming from behind Mai, Keroberos-kun spew a fireball. Blocking it, Mai strung Keroberos-kun to a tree. Turning, he waved a hand that sent torrents of water at Nakuru-chan. Shrieking, Nakuru- chan was slammed into a tree. Throwing jabs with his staff, Eriol smacked Mai. Flinging him aside, Yue caught Eriol before he hit the ground. Setting him down, Yue formed five golden balls and they flew out, one headed straight for me. Growing, the ball went over me, surrounding me. I suppose it was a shield, because the others engulfed Keroberos-kun, Nakuru-chan, Spinel-kun, and Sakura-chan. Chanting, chains of lightening flew out of the sun on the top of Eriol's staff, surrounding Mai, squeezing him. Sparking, the chains wrapped around Mai, entwining his arms and legs, encircling him. Sparking, the chains wrapped around Mai. With a loud 'poof', he disappeared. Stepping out of my hiding place, I ran to Nakuru-chan, helped her up, ran to Keroberos-kun, untangled him, and then ran over to Eriol, who was standing with Syaoran-kun. Looking Eriol in the eyes, I said worriedly,
"Is everyone all right? Syaoran-kun? Sakura-chan?"
Moving slightly, he nodded.
"Nai, daijobu. Let's get Sakura-chan inside."
Turning, we all went back to the cabin. On the way, Syaoran-kun muttered,
"And I just changed her bandages, too."
