Chapter 11 - Beware The Dragon






Eriol woke up to darkness. He wondered where he was. He was about to lift his right arm for a second so he could get up and stretch, but he immediately felt a warm body against his side and something on his arm. He could tell that it was the princess, even though he didn't know why. He blushed and thanked God that it was dark and that she wasn't awake. He heard her moan and he stayed still. She turned to her side and kept sleeping. He felt a bit uneasy, and even without the princess he felt there was something wrong. He put his head up as high as it would go without disturbing the princess. He couldn't feel anything, which was exactly what was wrong. He could feel something. 'Syaoran! Where is he? oh yeah...'



He lay down again, wondering how he was going to get Syaoran back with them. But then again, he felt like he didn't exactly want everyone to meet up. Just not yet. He fell into an uneasy sleep.



Meanwhile, Syaoran woke up to a throbbing headache. He found out why when he opened his eyes. His head was against the boulder he had been kicking and punching. He had fallen and hit his head on the rock which explained the excruitiating(uh, is that how you spell it? lol) pain on his head.



He touched his head tenderly. He immediately pulled away from it and hit the wall by mistake. 'Grr, I'm overreacting! Idiot, don't be such a baby.' He closed his eyes to try and get the pain away from his head and his hand that just hit the wall. He slowly put his hand down and touched something cold.



'My sword! Stupid, why didn't I think of using it before?!' His father was a smith that made swords and so he naturally gave his son the best one he could make. It looked like what it looks like( in the anime. lol i'm too tired now to think of a new design... anyway) He grinned. This would make the job a lot easier. All of a sudden, he forgot about his pain and started hacking away with his sword.




Tomoyo woke to a sound that made a sound like "tah!" (i'm not good at sound effects o_O)



She wondered where it was coming from since she couldn't see that well in the dark. She sat up and felt a bit cold. She could feel Eriol's warmth and blushed. She went to move away when Eriol's voice stopped her. "What's that noise?"



"I have no idea." She felt him stand up and start walking. 'How could he walk when he can't see?'



Suddenly, she heard an identical "tah!" but much closer now. Sometimes she could hear two. 'What's going on?'



Then came a bright light. Or it seemed bright to the dark that Eriol and Tomoyo were enclosed in. She shielded her eyes for a second and saw a shadowy figure at the opening. "Syaoran!"



Eriol ran up to his friend and hugged him in relief. Then they both realized what they were doing and jumped out. Tomoyo giggled. "Thanks, Syaoran-san." He blushed. Eriol noticed and felt a strange burning in his chest. He was glad that Syaoran was back but... he didn't know why he was feeling weird all of a sudden. He looked at Tomoyo and she turned and smiled at him too and he felt his face grow hot.



Tomoyo looked at them, smiling a bit uneasily. "Are you two okay?"



They both blushed a beet red, making them shine almost like Rudolph. (heehee ^_-) They both muttered, "No, princess." In unison they both clapped their mouth. She stared at them for a second. Then she realized what they said. "Princess? I thought I was supposed to be queen." Her eyes danced. They both blinked, confused. "O-Oh yeah... yeah, queen." Eriol managed to stammer.



Syaoran just nodded, staring at the princess. Suddenly they felt an earthquake. It was an earthquake that trembled every other second, in other words it stops, then goes, then stops and goes. Syaoran and Eriol both paled faster than you can say blush. Tomoyo looked around, looking for the source. "Roar!"



Tomoyo gave a little shriek from surprise at the weird sound. Syaoran and Eriol looked confused. 'What the fuck makes a Roar sound?' were going through their heads. But they both held onto their swords just in case.(er, if i didn't mention that they both had swords then... uh, there you go... haha)



Then something large, with dark green scales, and black bat-like wings came out. "Roar!" Everyone sweatdropped. Tomoyo thought, 'I didn't know that dragons sounded so... cute!' she almost clapped her hands in glee, but stopped herself just in time. Syaoran and Eriol were gawking. 'THAT... says "roar?" What kind of dragon is it?' The dragon was thinking, 'Oh man! This one doesn't work! I thought this would scare them.'



"Uh, hi..." Syaoran started.



"You talk right?" Eriol ended.



"You talk?" Tomoyo asked.



The dragon looked back and forth to the three humans. He had only expected one human maiden. He replied gruffly, "Just give me the girl and I'll answer questions afterwards."



Syaoran and Eriol immediately went into their fighting stances. "What do you mean, 'give you the girl'?



"Just what I said..." the dragon looked at the two skeptical boys.



"Come on! I need food you know! I haven't had a maiden in a year! I'm starving!" he whined. Tomoyo giggled.



The dragon stared his green cat-like eyes at her. This was NOT the reaction he expected.(from the girl) And these were NOT the people he expected.(the guys)



"You're supposed to be scared remember?" Eriol told her, smirking. The dragon glared at him and he became silent. Tomoyo looked at him and at his smirk and she understood what he meant. She grinned.



"Ah!" her scream was fake and everyone could hear the laughter in it. The dragon looked at her and became even angrier at the humans. "Just come with me!" he grabbed Tomoyo by the waist. This time she really screamed as the dragon carried her off.



The guys, who were still in their fighting stance, just watched in horror as the dragon sauntered off with the princess. Too late, Eriol went after them in the darkness beyond.



Syaoran stopped him. "Wait. Maybe he was just kidding." he knew it was stupid to think that way, but he was just being hopeful. They waited for a minute, and when they didn't see the dragon or even the princess, they felt even worse for stalling for that one minute. They ran after where they thought the dragon and the princess were in the darkness.



Two green cat eyes watched the two humans. It chuckled. "Hehe, you stupid humans don't even know where you're going."



There was a muffled sound next to it. The two eyes narrowed. "Be quiet!" it hissed.
