Chapter 8
Coming to the rescue
Poison Swamp: Part 2
Sakura laid in the mud passed out, her body was halfway in the swamp and aching in pain. The sound of horse hoofs grew closer. Opening her eyes slowly and squinting to get her vision back. Sakura could see the outlining of a dark figure that made a screeching nose. Out of the mist appeared a rider in black its horse kicking in the air screeching. Taking a hold of Sakura the creature slowly started to pull her out of the swamp with one hand, it's sharp nails digging into sakura's already bruised skin. Sakura couldn't fight back anymore she couldn't move her body but she could still feel the sharp claws digging into her skin. The black rider almost got sakura on the horse when, suddenly the rider screamed, the sound of a sword was brought down and chopped the black riders arm off, that was holding on to Sakura. Sakura fell limp onto the ground, her eyes empty and stained with tears. There stud Syaoran sword in hand, the black rider jumped off his horse and pulled out a sword dark as night and cold as ice. Syaoran swing his sword down at the rider but missed. Syaoran and the rider fought while in the darkness golden eyes watched and creep up to Sakura slowly pulling her away from the battle. When they were out of eye site the figure swung sakura over the shoulder and walked out of the swamp. The ninja smiled at himself for a job well done, but this was not for long for he was stopped in his tracks by glaring amber eyes.
"N...no.... Please...don't hurt me anymore..." Sakura mumbled half asleep.
Syaoran looked at her and glared back at the ninja. Taking a step back the ninja put Sakura slowly on the ground and ran. Not having time to run after the ninja Syaoran picked up sakura and ran out of the cursed swamp. The dark rider running after them not far behind.
--------------------
Sympathetically looking at Sakura, Syaoran could feel her grip around him tighten. A small blush creep across his cheeks for a second, then realization hit him on what he was doing. Shaking his head to get the sweet thought out Syaoran continued, but once in a while he took small glances at her while he ran full speed. Looking back at her one more time, this time Syaoran notice that she was covered in Blood and bruises. Anger builds up inside him. 'What's wrong with me!!' Syaoran thought in frustration. As Syaoran made his way to the camp where Tomoyo was waiting, he could see the little fire from the camp in the distance.
--------------------
Tomoyo sat by the fire and cooked some rice. 'Damn why did I have to take out so much food!' Tomoyo thought in frustration. *Sigh* Tomoyo sighed in boredom.
"I wonder when they're coming back?" Tomoyo said to no one in particular. From a distance two golden eyes watched Tomoyo with a spark. Tomoyo felt a cold breeze blow by and suddenly got a strange feeling she was being watched (don't you hate that feeling) looking in all direction she seen nothing and shrugged. 'Your imagining things Tomoyo snap out of it!' Tomoyo thought to herself, repeating her statement over and over in her head. Soon after the fire began to die down. *Sighs*
"Guess I need more wood" Tomoyo said getting. Tomoyo stepped out of the invisible shield and began to pick up pieces of wood. Meanwhile from a near by tree golden eyes kept watching Tomoyo. Creeping closer to Tomoyo, the figure pulled out the long sword that was attached to his side. Jumping up the figure covered Tomoyo mouth with one hand and holed the sharp blade close to her neck. "Scream and I'll cut your throat!" The figure said in a cool swift voice.
__________
Syaoran slowed his place down and looked around to where his camp was. Something was not right, he could feel it. Carefully placing Sakura down, Syaoran hid behind a tree, and began to pullout his sword slowly. Taking another glance at the camp Syaoran could see a flash of light, them he could see a figure moving, it looked a lot like... Tomoyo. 'What is she doing out of the shield' Syaoran thought
While he made his way to another tree and crept closer to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo struggled to get loose but had no luck.
"Don't try to resist me" The Figure whispered into her ear. Kissing Tomoyo's neck the figure slowly moved his knife to her chest and begun to rip the buttons off it. Tomoyo's eyes filled up in tears.
"Don't worry I won't bite much" The figure continued. He was about to say something else when he felt something extremely cold touch his neck.
"Let her go" A dark husky voice growled. Letting go of Tomoyo the figure stood there.
Tomoyo ran away from the figure as soon as he let go. Trying cover what remain of her clothing, tears filled her eyes as she did this. A hand touched Tomoyo's shoulder and she jumped, looking behind her she saw Sakura, a small smile on her face. Tomoyo hugged Sakura and started to cry. Sakura tried to comfort her friend but it was hard because she could hardly stand without the extra weight put on her. Tomoyo looked at her and her expression changed.
"Sakura are you okay? why are you covered in blood?" Tomoyo said looking even more worried. Sakura just smiled and fainted.
"O my god sakura!" Tomoyo yelled.
-----------------------
"You again" Syaoran growled. The figure griped his sword and clashed it at Syaoran's. Doing a couple of flips back the figure pulled out 5 stared daggers and through them at Syaoran. Taking his sword and doing a fancy jester Syaoran's sword clashed with the stared daggers making sparks and lots of noise, all five daggers flew in other directions. Pulling out a small ball the ninja threw it to the ground and a puff of smoke covered everything, when the smoke disappears so did the figure.
"Shit" Syaoran cursed. Placing his sword to his side Syaoran walked up to Tomoyo and Sakura to see if they were okay. When Syaoran was sure they where all right, he walked to a near by tree and sat there with his eyes closed. Tomoyo checked to see if Sakura's was hurt. Various cuts and bruises where on Sakura's body, Sakura's face was tear stained. Tomoyo felt like crying from the site of her only friend. Syaoran opened his eyes and averted his glaze to Sakura and Tomoyo. Syaoran got a wave of anger burst through him. 'How could anyone hurt such a person like her?' Syaoran thought. Sakura started to come around, looking up at Syaoran she smiled a sweet smile and tears started to come down her face once again.
"Please don't let them hurt me anymore..." Sakura mumbled through her tears.
"I promise" Syaoran said looking down at her and giving her a very rare smile (Yeah you herd right a smile not a half a smile ^_^) After another bigger smile Sakura closed her eyes slowly and coughed. Looking at her Syaoran could see she was sweating very much. Touching her forehead Syaoran could feel a temperature rising. Picking her up into his arms with a sweep Syaoran carried Sakura to the hours. Tomoyo saw this and screamed "kawaii" but that didn't last long for, Tomoyo got a concerned look on her face.
"What wrong with sakura?" Tomoyo said looking worried.
"She's sick, I think she got some poison in her blood, if we don't get her to a doctor soon she might die" Syaoran said having a serious look on his face again. Tomoyo was to shock for words but understood. Running and packing things up quickly Syaoran, sakura, and Tomoyo galloped out of the dark forest.
--------
The first ray of sun pecked out of the horizon a cool breeze blew by the galloping horse, colours of all kind filled the sky. Sakura was getting sicker by the hour. Tomoyo was getting more worried by the hour, what if they would never get to the village in time? Seeing Tomoyo was troubled Syaoran spoke for the first time that seemed like hours.
"Don't worry the village should be up ahead." Syaoran reassured her. Tomoyo just smiled.
From a distance the sent of bread could be smelled and the noise of merchants and people talking could be heard.
"There it is. We have to find the doctor you should go look for a inn to stay in I'll meet you there later with the girl." Syaoran said. At the fraise "Girl" Tomoyo frowned.
"Okay." Was all Tomoyo said before she got off the horse and wandered into the crowed.
----------------
Walking to a shop that had a medicine sign, Syaoran walked in holding sakura in his muscular arms. An old man walked out of the shop and fiddled with is glasses.
"Hello, Hello welcome to my shop, how may I help you?" the old man said in a cracked voice.
"Grandpa where do I put this herb?" A girl with short hair and glasses came out.
"What? my dear, I am sorry I didn't get that" The old man said putting a hand behind his ear to hear better.
"I SAID.... O hello can we help you?" The girl said. Syaoran sweat dropped.
"Hello said help you?" The old man said in a confused tone.
"NO GRAMPA, I SAID CAN I HELP YOU TO THE CUSTOMERS" the girl continued to yell
"O alright dear" the old man said smiling.
"Yes um...my...f...friend is sick, can you help her?" Syaoran replied.
"O my! yes well do it right away come and bring her" The girl said pointing to a curtain that leads to the back of the shop Syaoran walked through the curtain and placed sakura on the table they had there. Walking out back to the front of the shop the girl called her grandpa to come. With a little time to understand he walked to where sakura was. The girl walked out and closed the curtains and walked up to Syaoran.
"It will take a while would you like to wait? I can make some tea?" The girl asked. Looking at the girl with straight brown hair and glasses, Syaoran nodded in agreement.
"Great my name is Nikki, I work here with my grandpa he's teaching me to become a doctor like him. What's your name?" Nikki asked bringing a tray of tea with her.
"Syaoran Li" Syaoran put it plainly.
"O I see... Is that your girlfriend or wife?" Nikki asked. Looking at her strangely, Syaoran got a streak of red across his cheeks, luckily for him the Nikki didn't notice. Syaoran shook his head.
"Okay, well do you like her then?" Nikki continued not noticing how unconvertible he was. Just then Tomoyo walked through the door.
"Hey! Is Sakura alright?" Tomoyo blurred out of no were. Syaoran looked at Nikki and she replied.
"She is getting treated right now would you like to wait?" Nikki asked Tomoyo.
"Sure" Tomoyo said sitting down while Nikki pored a cup of tea.
"My name is Nikki what's yours?" Nikki asked.
"My name is Tomoyo nice to meet you" Tomoyo said sticking out her hand for a shake. Nikki shook her hand in a friendly jester.
"So... then you're his girlfriend or wife then?" Nikki asked Tomoyo.
"What, NO?" Tomoyo yelled.
"SHHHH my grandpa is working don't talk so loud," Nikki said placing a finger to her lips.
"..Like he can hear anyway.." Syaoran grumbled.
"Huh I am sorry did you say something," Nikki asked innocently.
"Um...no" Syaoran replied sweat dropping off his head.
