Chapter Four - Reunited-

Sakura finally let go of Li and studied his face "Oh Li, you're hurt!" Li shook his head , "It is nothing Sakura," He looked at her pale face, stained with tears, hre chesnut coloured hair wet as if she had been in the shower.

Li glanced over Sakuras shoulder as a blue light radiated a couple of metres behind her. "WATCH OUT SAKURA!" Li jumped in front of her, his swordinsantly witdrawn, ready for anything. Sakura whirled around, staff in hand. Three figures appeard in the middle of the blue glow. They steadily grew as the light faded. Li's eyes narrowed, "Neptune." He lifted his sword "LIGHTNING! COME TO MY AID!"

Sakura saw everything in slow motion, "No LI!" She yelled as she automatically threw a card in the air "Sheild car! Form a barrier around Teren and the others. A transparent dome immediately appeared around the three figures. The lightning hit it and reflected away harmlessly. Li turned to Sakura a look of questioning on his face "Why did you do that? Thats Neptune?" Sakura nodded "Yes Li, but it is also Madison and Kero." Li looked back at the group, Madison waved and Kero glared at him, "YOU NEARLY FRIED ME KID!" Li glared right back "Well, Kero how could you let this.. this TRAITOR get near Sakura" Kero looked a bit embarrased "Umm...Dunno, but blondie here has promised me A LOT of pudding"

Li sweat dropped 'How DARE Kero endanger Sakuras life for mere PUDDING' he thougt as he studied the blonde haired, blue eyed boy. "Li, I dont believe we have been introduced, I am Teren Neptune, descendant of Elad Neptune" Li gritted his teeth as Teren continued "I have come to apoligise for all past wrongs committed by my fore fathers." Teren extened his hand. Li looked at it, then at Sakura who nodded her encouragement. Li sighed and shook Terens hand, "Promise me you wont hurt Sakura" Teren laughed "I promise"

"Li, we had better get you cleaned up," Sakura indicated to the cut on his cheek. Li was about to complain but he decided against it and nodded. "Okay, Maybe we should check into a hotel or something," Teren suggested, he then turned to look at Li, "So where is the nearest hotel?" Li pointed to a posh-looking, hotel across the street. Sakura panicked at the sight of it " Uh.. We dont have any money....do we?" Teren grinned "Thats why I came," He started walking across the street. "Come on guys, I'm paying"

"I am terribly sorry, but we are nearly booked out. In fact we only have a three person room left." The receptionist apoligised. "One of you will have to go somewhere else" "That wont be neccesary. One can share my room." Sakura, Madison and Li swung around, The speaker was a tall, mature looking teenager with greyish blue hair and glasses. "ERIOL!!!" Madison ran over and flung her arms around his neck. Sakura gasped and snuck a look at Teren, who had a smug look plastered on his face. Sakura suddenly realised what Madisons wish was. Sakura giggled slightly and caught Li's eye. Li looked at Teren "Well then thats sorted. Madison Can share with Eriol, You, Sakura and I will take the spare room" Even Teren was surprised by this statement. Sakura shot a questioning look at Li, he caught her eye and mouthed 'tell you later.' "Ah,... Sure okay" He turned back to the receptionist "You guys go for a walk, I'll find you later" Sakura had no doubt he would.
