Seiryuu: The Mirror of Mystery
Chapter 20
I reappeared behind Syaoran. He was breathing heavily and before him, a
whole section of the wall was gone with burnt edges and just in front of
him, was what seemed to be a body of a monster(or whatever it was) burned
beyond recognition. I touched him lightly on his shoulder with my right hand
and he abruptly caught my arm and jerked me in front of him and raised his
sword for a slash.
I stared into his eyes, fightened. It was glowing white again. I closed my
eyes and turned away. Suddenly, the steel grip on my wrist loosened.
"I- I'm s-sorry" he stammered. I looked at him his eyes were amber in color
again and was full of concern. "d-did I h-hurt you?"
I embraced him tightly and he replied by embracing me just as tight. "No...
you didn't... don't worry. Though my shoulder hurts from the sudden pull that
you did."
He slowly loosened and checked my right shoulder. He poked it here and there
then.. "OUCH! that hurt!"
"here?" he poked at the spot behind my shoulder.
"yeah! yeah...." I said.
He placed his palm on it and I felt suddenly warm and fuzzy all over. In a
moment, the feeling was gone and so was the pain. "y-you healed me!" I looked
at him in surprise.
He smiled. "yeah. Now, we better get going or we'll get caught. The commotion
wasn't intended, you know."
"I think that no hiding isss nesssessssary." a venomous voice said.
Both of us looked in front of us and Syaoran defensively put himself in front
of me. Just beyond the hole in the wall, was a person in a black robe - the hood
covering most of the face. Around him was the insignia of The Order, just as
Syaoran had described it: a skull with snake heads comeing out of the eyesockets
and surrounded by lightning.
The hodded figure raised a hand and I froze. I don't know about Syaoran but I
could see from the corner of my eye that by the look on his face that he was
frozen too.
We were caught.
I don't remember anything that happened next but all I know is that I woke up
with an aching head, a blindfold over my eyes and a gag in my mouth. I choked
by the dry taste of the cloth in my mouth and coughed a little.
"Sakura are you okay??" Eriol's familiar voice ringed in my ears.
I tired to answer but of course, all that came is muffled words.
"un-gag her!" Syaoran's strong voice shouted out.
"why ssshould I??" the venomous voice replied. Then suddenly, I felt rough,
slender fingers touch my face. It caressed me. All the hairs on my skin stood
on ends. The fingers then caressed my right arm. I wanted to push the hand
away but then I noticed that my hands were tied behind me and my ankles were
tied up as well.
"LET GO!!!" Syaoran's voice shouted anger in every letter.
"Let go, Viper." a deep, commanding voice suddenly said. The hand on my skin
vanished. "So... this is the Lady Sakura you wife?" it said again. Then I heard
steps coming closer towards me. A gloved fingers wrapped itself gently around
my chin. I jerked away. "Fiesty little thing isn't she?"
"Don't you dare hurt her!" Eriol told the voice.
"oh!" the voice replied with sarcasm, "I'm scared!! with your eyes blindfolded
and your feet and ankles chained to the wall, you're gonna do me no good!!" then
he laughed. His laughter was loud and filled the whole room with hate. "and what
about you, Lady Tomoyo?" he asked.
I listened hard for her reply, hoping that she's okay.
There came a muffled reply. Then the voice became clearer. "sleep well and dream
hard.." said a voice, it was musical and very enticing. I almost fell asleep
hadn't it been for a loud 'SLAP!' that followed.
"Tomoyo!" Eriol shouted.
"are you okay?" Syaoran asked.
A muffled reply again.
I heard a few steps walking far from me and stop. "enchantress, enchantress...
don't do that to one in The Order. It won't work." the deep voice spoke again.
"It will if you hard heads will listen long enough!" Syaoran's mocking voice
said, "you're no sorcerer!"
There was a sound of a punch and a sound of something hitting concrete. I knew
at once that whoever the owner of the voice was had punched Syaorana and his head
had hit the wall. I shouted a muffled "Syaoran!"
"I-I'm alright Sakura.." came a weak reply.
Sound of steps walked closer to me. A gloved hand suddenly held my face painfully.
I winced.
The blindfold was removed from my eyes with s sudden pull that ripped the cloth
apart and the hand forced me to look at someone. "Look at your pathetic husband's
face!" it said.
Syaoran he was chained to the wall hands and feet apart and he had his head down
and a cut above his left eye. He was blindfolded and on his right cheek was swollen.
Bloodstain was to be found on the left corner of his lips. I moved my eye beside
him and there was Eriol. Blindfolded as well. He looked no better than Syaoran as
he had a cut on his left cheek and above his right eye blood was on the right corner
of his lips. To my upper left hung Tomoyo. She was chained to the wall, a few hands
off the floor. She was blindfolded and gagged and she had a fresh red mark of a big
hand on her left cheek and her hair hung loosely about her.
That was all I could bear to see. I closed my eyes again and when I opened them,
all was dark. The gloved hand let go of my face and the deep voice said, "bindfold
her!"
I heard shuffling steps towards me and felt the cloth pressed against my eyelids.
It was tied not too tight.
"We'll leave them here for a while. Viper! guard them and make sure that none
talk!"
"yesss bosss" the venomous voice replied. There was the sound of steps moving
away, and an opening and closing of a door.
There was silence. *I wonder what happened to Rika and Lucas* I thought.
There was a sudden piercing scream of a woman in the air.
