Hello!! I'm back!! Sorry about the delay and all. I've been really busy
with school (blech!), all the Jazz Competitions, and the Math Competitions
that I haven't been home or on the computer as often (boo hoo). But now
all of that is over and I'm free to concentrate on writing again so I can
start rewriting Their Cursed and Forbidden Love, (sorry) should be done and
posted by the end of spring break this week.
Thank you very much to my editor, cousin, bestest friend, etc. etc. Sakura Starr (miss you!) and:

Thank you for reviewing!! Now for the way too long overdue chapter of The Hunted.
Oh yeah, I don't own Card Captors or any of the character but the original peoples do belong to me, they're ALL mine!!
°°°° An hour before the bar opened °°°°
Sakura looked nervously all over her room. It wasn't there! The bag she always traveled with, her favorite bag, was missing!! Where could she have put it? Sakura remembered it being in her closet since the last time she traveled. 'Think, think, think. Where could it be? THAT'S IT!! I lent it to Tayah!' Sakura ran out of her room and down the hall. After almost tripping over a loose floorboard, she finally made it to Tayah's room. Gently she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" A voice yelled from the other side of the door. Sakura opened the door quickly and went inside. Tayah was sitting on her bed painting her toenails.
"Hey Tayah." Sakura greeted with a smile.
"Hi Sakura. What brings you to my humble abode?"
"Do you have the bag I lent you so you could go to Atalee?"
"Oh yeah! I forgot to give it to you when I got back. Let me go get it." Tayah walked on her heels to the closet so she wouldn't mess up her nail polish job. After a few minutes of silence, Sakura was about to peer inside the closet when Tayah popped out with a smile on her face. Sakura jumped at the sudden appearance, but smiled when she saw her bag in Tayah's hands.
"Thanks, Tayah." Sakura smiled.
"No problem." Tayah said as she escorted Sakura out of the room.
¤°¤°¤ Later that night ¤°¤°¤
"Are you all packed to go?" Syaoran asked as he closed his filled brown, leather satchel.
"Mm hmm. All the necessities." Sakura said as she closed her brown leather book bag.
"We should get to bed then, we'll have to get up early to pack the plane."
"Okay."
Sakura climbed into the bed and crawled under the covers. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell fast asleep. She had a pretty tough day with all of the goodbyes and tears. Syaoran could tell that she was really going to miss this place. It was the only real home that they had really ever known. He was going to miss this place too. No matter what, he was going to make sure Sakura could come back here and have a happy life. Syaoran gently kissed her forehead and slid into bed next to her. Tomorrow it would all begin…
¤¤¤¤ At Dawn ¤¤¤¤
Syaoran slowly rolled out of bed and stood up to see the first few rays of light touch the still, dark earth. He picked up the bundle of Sakura and bed sheets and took her to the roof right outside their window. He sat her down in his lap and slowly nudged her awake.
"Hmmm?" Sakura asked groggily.
"Look." Was all Syaoran said as he nudged Sakura with his head. Sakura turned her head in the direction Syaoran told her to and slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was enough to take her breath away. It was a beautiful scene to behold as the lovers gazed upon the beautiful sunrise as each delicate rays of light stretched in every direction across the cold, desolate land.
"It's beautiful Shaolan. Absolutely beautiful." Sakura sighed savoring every moment for she wouldn't know when or where she would see such a sight ever again.
"Enjoy it, sweetheart. You deserve every beautiful thing this world has to offer."
"We deserve it." Sakura snuggled closer to Syaoran and watched the sunrise.
As soon as the sun reached just above the land, they returned inside to get ready. When the two were ready to leave, they took one last look at their home and locked the door. They tried to give their key back to Lorka, but he insisted they keep it for when they return. Syaoran and Sakura said their good-byes and went outside to the hanger where the Phoenix was. Sakura checked all the systems inside to see if they were functional and Syaoran did one last check of the power systems before he fueled the hover plane. While Sakura was testing out the environmental controls, she heard unsteady footsteps behind her. When she looked behind her she smiled.
"(YAWN) You're coming with us?" Touya asked surprised.
"Yes, where ever Syaoran goes I go as well because he wouldn't be able to stand it if something happened to me and he wasn't here to protect me." Sakura explained.
"Oh, well I can't believe you can get up this earl-." He was cut off by another yawn. Sakura giggled.
"On usual days you could never get me up before 8:00, but today, today was different."
"How so?"
"Syaoran showed me the most beautiful sight I have seen in a while. Seeing such beauty is one thing that can make anyone wake up and enjoy."
"What did he show you?"
"The sunrise just as it began." Sakura smiled.
"And I will only share such beauty with the one I love." Syaoran added as he climbed aboard. "Are we ready to go?" Both passengers nodded and Syaoran closed the door.
Syaoran slid into the pilot's seat, Sakura sat in the front passenger's seat, and Touya sat in another seat right behind Sakura. Syaoran and Sakura pushed a few buttons and flipped some switches before turning on the craft and lifting off. Touya had to admit that that was the smoothest take-off he had ever had, but the entire flight was ahead. He had time to criticize then. For now he was going to lean back and catch up on some sleep.
~
A pleasant smell caressed Touya's nose. He smelled it, it had to be… PANCAKES!! He opened his eyes to a horrific sight. There was no one in the front seats. Touya began to panic and look from side to side until a voice reassured him, he was not alone.
"Oy, Kinigamo! Are you awake?" Syaoran asked from behind him.
"Huh? Yeah, yeah. I'm up." Touya fumbled with his seat belt as he asked Syaoran, "Uh, who's flying the plane?"
"Auto-pilot, this is the most barren stretch of air space on the whole journey, so this is when I take a break."
"What exactly do you do on breaks?" Touya asked finally freeing himself from the seat-belt bondage.
"What else? Eat of course." Touya looked up to see Syaoran sitting at a foldout table and Sakura was cooking something at a kitchen he hadn't seen before.
"Want some pancakes, Touya?" Sakura asked as she flipped one in the air.
"Yeah, sure." Touya sat down across from Syaoran and Sakura placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. Both men reached for the syrup at the same time causing them both to fight over who got to use it first. Seeing their dilemma, Sakura handed a bottle of syrup to Touya. Touya gratefully took the syrup from Sakura and continued to have a glaring contest with Syaoran all through the meal. Sakura cleaned up the stove and pushed a button, which caused the entire kitchen to retract into the wall.
"I didn't know this thing had a kitchen." Touya admitted not pulling his gaze away from Syaoran.
"Yeah, this thing is an entire flying house like a Winnebago." Sakura responded.
"What's a Winnebago?" Touya asked.
"Never mind. When you're finished, put you dish over th-" Sakura yawned deeply as she pointed to the slot in the wall across from her.
"Maybe you should get some rest, you seem tired." Syaoran suggested.
"I don't know why I've been so tired lately, but I guess you're right." Sakura kissed Syaoran and retreated to a room in the back.
"Where are you going?" Asked Touya curiously.
"To the (yawn) bedroom in the back." Sakura replied sleepily.
"You had a room back there and you never told me?" Touya exclaimed.
"Well, you never asked." Syaoran said slyly as Sakura entered the room and closed the door. Touya just rolled his eyes.
¤°¤°¤ 2 hours later ¤°¤°¤
Touya had to admit it, the flight had been extremely smooth and even the landing was a smooth as silk, but he wasn't going to tell the kid that. Admitting he was the best pilot Touya had ever seen would just cause the kid's ego to flare and that was the last thing he needed. Syaoran turned off all of the blinking lights and switches before getting up and going to the room in the back where Sakura was still sleeping leaving Touya clueless on what to do.
~~
Syaoran decided to leave the Kinigamo guy where he was. If he was smart enough, he would stay put. Syaoran opened the room door and left it open as he went over to the sleeping Sakura. He absolutely dreaded waking his angel up when she was so tired, but they had to get going. Gently, Syaoran kissed Sakura's forehead and this caused her to stir. Slowly she opened her eyes and blinked back the sleepy feeling.
"We're there already?" Sakura yawned as she stretched her arms up to awaken her sleeping muscles.
"Yeah, we just landed." Syaoran smiled at how cute she looked.
"Well let's get going." Sakura climbed out of the bed and picked up her bag as Syaoran swung his over his shoulder. Both walked out of the room swiftly while Sakura still yawned.
"Come on Kinigamo." Syaoran instructed as he and Sakura walked out the door. Touya picked up his stuffed duffel bag and followed the two teenagers out the door.
Syaoran proceeded to greet and have a little conversation with someone around Touya's age with brown hair that was only shaved at the sides. The long locks of hair on the top of his head were bleached and streaked blue. Syaoran seemingly asked for directions to someplace and, with a smile, the man directed Syaoran in the direction of the stairs. Touya quickly ran up to them as Syaoran gave a quick thanks and walked toward the room at the top of the stairs. The three travelers proceeded to enter the open door to find a man that looked around the same age as Lorka.
"Good morning Reid." Sakura smiled happily all sleepiness forgotten.
"Why, good morning Sakura. It's always a pleasure to see you." Reid said as Sakura just smiled. "And it is always good to see you as well Syaoran. What can I do for you today?"
"We're checking into the city, the three of us. That and I'm dropping off the Phoenix to anyone of your pilots who cares to try to fly it back to Lorka." Syaoran answered.
"You guys are staying here?" Reid inquired surprised.
"Yes we are." Sakura said.
"Well, I doubt anyone will fly her, but I'll keep her here. Here are your passes and I hope you have a wonderful day." Reid smiled as he handed them three light-blue credit card-like cards. Both Syaoran and Sakura thanked Reid and led Touya back out. They walked out of the airport into the empty streets of the just awakening city of Mythdelin.
"I had no idea you guys were staying or living in Mythdelin as well." Touya broke the ice.
"Well, you never asked." Syaoran shot back.
"You never volunteered the information."
"Why should I have t-" Syaoran stopped abruptly closing his eyes. He tilted his head to the side and listened as he sniffed the air. At that very moment, he spun around to see a line of ninjas dressed in black spanning from end to end of the street. "soulless warriors."
"They're after me." All three of the travelers said in unison getting strange looks from each other. They had no time to ask questions because just then, the soulless warriors attacked.
The ninjas surrounded Sakura, Syaoran, and Touya in a circle quicker than the human eye could see. Immediately, Touya drew two automatic laser guns from the holster under his long leather coat and started firing at the ninjas knocking a few out as he fought the others hand to hand. When he got a chance, Touya looked back to Syaoran and Sakura to see if they were captured. To his surprise, Sakura was behind Syaoran and Syaoran was defeating his last opponent with swift, blurring motions using a beautiful katana that wasn't anywhere in sight before. As Touya finished electrocuting his last opponent with his lasers, he turned to the two teenagers to see Sakura spin around abruptly to look at something behind her. To his worst fear, Touya saw Zooids, flying hunt and capture androids, approach them. Touya jumped and took cover behind a dumpster as they Zooids started to fire their poison sting darts to knock them all out. When Touya looked up, he saw the Zooids heading for Sakura and Syaoran and was about to tell them to run for cover when he saw something that shocked him beyond belief. Sakura walked a little bit in front of Syaoran and her eyes glowed ice blue and the ends of her hair begin to rise up higher and higher on their own as she began to float up into the air. She stretched her arms straight out with her wrists flexed and her fingers spread out. Beginning with her palms, a translucent ice blue light appeared and spread out in a bubble around her and Syaoran. When the sting darts hit the shield, they dissipated with a bright spark, not being able to penetrate it. Registering that their attempts were futile, the Zooids landed on the ground and sprouted feet. They began to walk towards the two protected in the bubble. Sakura dropped her shield and, with her eyes still glowing, looked over towards Touya and flicked a wrist upwards in his direction. Touya's eyes became as wide as saucers as he was floating unattached to anything. Seeing that both of the two were off the ground, Syaoran spun his sword around before stabbing it into the ground. Green lightning bolts shot from his hands, through the sword, along the ground, and shorted out the Zooids. Syaoran released one hand from his sword and thicker green lightning bolts shot from that hand towards the Zooids again, this time burning them into melted titanium. Sakura gently let herself and Touya down and returned to normal. She walked towards Syaoran who had just pulled his katana out of the pavement.
"Syaoran, first the soulless warriors, then the Zooids. There's one we're missing." She contemplated as the couple thought in deep concentration as Touya walked towards them. Suddenly both of their heads shot up in realization.
"The Shadows!" Syaoran and Sakura yelled at once. As if on cue, two misty soldiers rose up from the ground behind them and injected something into their necks causing them to collapse onto the floor unconscious. Touya watched with his eyes wide, never seeing those people before. As he thought this, he too felt drowsy and then saw only blackness.
