~Part 2
Genbu: The Crystal of Power
Chapter 7
My stomach churned and my thoughts whirled. Should I? would I? COULD I??!?! ...
I didn't know. I felt the tip of the blade slowly press against my skin. My
shaking led the tip even deeper and I felt the trickle of blood on my skin. It
made all the hairs on my skin go up....
"TELL ME!" he repeated again.
"I.... I...."
'don't tell it!!! He's a spy and he'll kill you anyways!!!' a voice inside my
head said.
'tell it!!! that's better than dying! and you have no proof that he's really
a spy!!' another voice said.
My mind almost drove me to madness had it not been for Eriol's strong voice
that pulled be back to reality.
"are you ok?" he said, his voice filled with worry. His knife was down and both
his arms were holding my shoulders.
I couldn't believe it.
I just nodded my head.
His face looked down and he sighed. "I can't believe this. You actually got me to
worry 'bout you. You're supposed to be a prisoner, you know..." he said, then he
stood up and helped me to get up as well.
"why did you worry?" I asked
He looked at me and smiled. "I'm actually a sellsword you know. I was off duty
when I saw you. But you were so close to where my hirer was so I acted naturally
and lured you.... but by the way you acted... and I could tell, that you're no
threat..... I was just going to stop when you fainted. Sorry.."
"I fainted?" I suddenly blurted out. Was I a chicken, or what?!?
He just smiled. "you know, that nick on your neck is pretty big. You better come
with me...... and trust me this time, I WON'T hurt you."
I don't know what made me do it(I guessed that it was my nature), but I did
trust him again. This time he did not hurt me or do anything bad, just helped
me a lot. He told me a lot of things and even toured me around. I started to
feel guilty of not telling him my predicament. After a few more hours of walking,
we came to a halt.
"here's where I work... they've been staying here for months and so have I. I've
already started to get bored now..." he said.
The building we stopped in was an apartment. Outside though, it looked like a
store with all the silks in display.
"hey! Eriol! where have you been!??!" an angry voiced, heavily muscled, bald-
headded man said.
"coming back from my time-off." he cooly answered.
The bald man's face became red-hot. "you're time-off was over about an hour
ago boy! and we don't tolerate that here!"
"hey! he was on duty even if he wasn't here!" I suddenly said angrily, "he
checked places where you wouldn't think that might not contain spies to see
if there might possibly be any!!"
The man looked at me and I realized what I just did. "and you are you?!"
"she's my cargo." Eriol said, putting himself between me and the man. "And if
you have forgotten, my mission here isn't exactly linked to yours. I think I've
had enough of you..." he paused for a while, and for a moment there I think the
man got scared. "...I quit. Let's go Sakura."
He walked away and I followed. The man was shouting threats at us then we were
so far away that I couldn't hear him anymore.
"I'm sorry. I seemed to have gotten you fired." I said as I looked at the dusty
road.
I felt him stop so I stopped and looked at him, he was smiling. "no, you heard
what I said back there didn't you? I quitted..... and from now on, I shall be
under your service.." he said, kneeling to me and kissing my hand.
"under my service? Oh please do stand up.... I cannot possibly pay..."
"who said anything about payment?" he said, cutting me off, "I give to you my
service freely. Please do say yes.... I have a very strong feeling that you need
me.."
I smiled.
By the end of the day, Eriol knew about the whole story about me and what happened.
I actually got to discover who he was too. He wasn't a sellsword like he said, but
a knight from the continent Wilfrid(he didn't tell me exactly where, out of keeping
his secrecy). He was here to go on a mission to find the four chosen people that
have the powers of the sacred beasts. At first his story was quite unbeliveable.....
until he showed me a certain artifact.
The artifact was round and crystal-like. It glowed every color in the rainbow and
other colors that weren't in the rainbow. It was beautiful. Then he told me that
only the chosen person would be the only person to use it.
"then that means..." I suddenly said, my eyes wide in shock.
"yup. I'm a chosen. I was blessed by the sacred Genbu. I was here because I felt
a strange aura here." he said.
"so, you could actually feel them?"
He gave me a nod.
"I would be a burden to your mission then..."
"I think not. I think that you would help a lot. Did you know that the prince is
a chosen too?"
"Syaoran? he is? by whom?" I said.
"By the sacred Byakko. He has this sword.... have you seen it?"
Memories flooded my mind and I involuntarily touched my still bandaged neck.
"does it hurt?" he suddenly asked. All worried again(maybe now it's because
he now knows that I'm the wife of a prince..).
"no.... it's nothing... I just remembered something." I said looking down, then
I changed the topic. "when are we going to help them? I heard that the guards
were leaving soon and they're gonna be with them."
"tonight" he simply said.
