Eriol stared at Tomoyo, "Syaoran and Sakura have disappeared?" Tomoyo
nodded and Eriol let go off her. "This could be very good, or extremly bad.
Have you checked on the royal families reaction?"
Tomoyo nodded "The king is depressed, and Touya looks.... well... ready to kill." Eriol nodded,
"I guess that was to be expected."
"Umm, Eriol... about tonights raid..."
Eriol almost fell over "Shit. How the hell are we going to tell Toby Syaoran's gone." Tomoyo swallowed.
"He knows Eriol, and he doesnt care. He's told everyone its still on. They are going to kill both the King and Touya. Sakura will be forced to marry Toby and she too will be killed. Oh Eriol why the hell is this happening?"
Eriol put his hands over his head. "I really dont know Tomoyo, I wish it wasnt. What i wouldnt give for a normal life."
Tomoyo wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Eriol smiled slightly and put his hands on her back. Both stood there drawing all the comfort they could.

Syaoran sat on the end of the bench on which Sakura was resting. He handed her a roughly chipped bowl. Sakura sniffed its watery contents warily. "What is this?"
Syaoran blushed faintly looked at his hands. "Its soup, with fresh herbs, roots and a wild rabbit. Not what a princess would normally touch, but you had better eat it."
Sakura lifted the bowl to her lips and sipped cautiously. After swallowing once, she drained the rest of the bowls contents. "Its not bad." Syaoran looked up and smiled "Thank you. Would you like some more?"
Sakura shook her head. "No, first I would like to apoligise for yelling at you last night." it was her turn to stare at her hands. Before Syaoran could reply she continued.
"I dont really hate you. Its just that I have lost a lot of things that were important to me. My mother was the biggest loss. I saw the face of the man who took her away in you. I dont know why, or how. I guess I went a bit crazy and thought you had come to take me away. Sorry."
Syaoran stared at her, had she forgotten what he had planned to do? He opened his mouth expecting words to come out, an excuse prehaps but all he could manage was..
"I am sorry"
Sakura stared at him "For what?"
"For evereything, lying to you, working behind your back, decieving you. All of it. I suppose once we get back you'll have me killed."
Sakura almost laughed "None of that matters any more. You came after me didnt you? That means you care, or did. You never lied to me, and although you did set up some scheme with 'sir' Tobias, what does it matter now? " She gave him his bowl. "I wouldnt have you killed, Though Touya might say he wants me to. Touya is really a huge softy, without him I dont know what I'd do."
The male figure at the end of the bench shot up in horror. Sakura stared at him,
"Whats wrong,"
"Sakura. Someone is planning to kill Touya and possibly your father." Sakura put her hand over her mouth.
"Oh god. What am I going to do?" Syaoran grabbed her hand,
"Come on we have to go. Can you walk?" Sakura merely nodded and got off the bench. Syaoran led her out of the shack, down a nearly concealed path and eventually, out of the forest.

A greasy voice echoed off the walls of the cave, "Welcome boys." The cave was half filled with drunk, vicious men. The oily man with black hair stepped over a bloodied body that blocked the entrance to the cave. "Was it nesseciary to kill Jones? He was a good fighter." A burly man near the back stood up shakingly.
"Hee stoole me drink maan!" The men surrounding him stood up in support,
"Yeah maan"
"Hic"
The oily man silenced them, "Shut up." He looked around at the crowd "Tonight, boys, we become men!" There was yelling and cheering , "We become Lords! All we have to do, is attack the castle! Kill the King and his Son. Then, we shall have a new King, and Iduno WILL be ours!" The crowd cheered, it was so loud that it rose the dead. They stormed out of their cave and headed in a furious, but drunken, mob towards the castle....
