Hehehe, I made Sakura write that last chapter all in one period.
-Naoko
*glares at Naoko* I hate you...
-Sakura
^ ^ I hate you too!!
-Naoko
Yessss... They own CCS... They also own a villa in northern Italy, ¼ of the Alps, and Buckingham Palace. Did I mention that they're aliens?
-Kuri-chan
O.o aliens? That would explain the bright lights I see at night.
-Naoko
¼ of the Alps?!? Cool!!!
-Sakura
hey, Kuri-chan, why don't we cut the sarcasm?
-Naoko
fine...
-Kuri-chan
"Are you alright?" Syaoran asked her as he put her down again.
Sakura laughed nervously. "Uh, yeah!" She started backing up towards the protection of the forest. "Um, that wasn't supposed to happen, so I'm going to go. now!" She turned and ran away.
"Wait!" Syaoran cried.
He started to run after her. Takashi put a hand on his arm. "My lord," he said, "please, not now. We have business to conduct."
"You're right," Syaoran said still looking in the direction she had disappeared, "I'll come back later." He looked troubled and unhappy. Suddenly he stiffened and looked around.
"My lord what's wrong?" Takashi asked, concerned.
"Nothing. Let's continue." Syaoran got back on his horse. *I just sensed a Clow Card*
*__*__*__*__*__*__*__*__*
Sakura didn't run very far before she met her friends.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Rika demanded.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Sakura replied. Rika still looked incredulous. "Really!"
"We should get back to the hideout now," Meling said. "The Duke might send someone after us."
"I don't think so," Sakura said thoughtfully. When the others started towards home she lagged behind. When Tomoyo noticed that Sakura wasn't by her, she turned around and joined her.
"Tomoyo, that wasn't supposed to happen," Sakura told her.
"Of course it wasn't! No normal person wants to fall out of a tree!" Tomoyo returned.
"No," Sakura said impatiently, "I mean, I had no control. I didn't mean to lean forwards. I think something had control of my body."
"A Clow Card?" Tomoyo asked gently.
"Yeah."
Tomoyo sighed. "We might want to tell the others. It could be dangerous," she said.
"I don't know." Sakura said hesitatingly. "We should discuss this with Meling."
They walked in silence for a few minutes. Then Sakura said, "Tomoyo, could you go on ahead? I'd like to sit and think a bit."
"Alright." Tomoyo smiled at her then ran to catch up with the others.
Sakura sighed and sat down on a nearby tree stump. "Why would a Clow Card want to do this to me?" she asked herself. She sat on the tree stump pondering the possibilities.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sakura and her companions were sitting in a large tree, apparently waiting for something. Far off, Sakura could hear the sound of hoof beats and the creaking of wagons.
"They're coming!" Tomoyo whispered.
They sat for a few minutes longer. Finally a caravan came into sight.
"Look at all the armed guards!" Chiharu whispered. "Do you think they know we're coming?"
"I don't know. I still want to continue this job because there is a lot of money involved. It will really help some people in need." Sakura said.
"Maybe we should send someone back to camp to rescue us if we need it," Rika suggested. "They'll need to be smart to get us out of trouble if it comes to that."
They all looked at Naoko. (hehehe!!!) She shrugged and said cheerfully, "At least I won't have to fight!" She then jumped out of the tree and stood at the base, waiting for orders..
"Wait back at the camp for three hours," Sakura told her. "If we aren't back by then, come here. If we have been captured, I will drop this broach," she displayed a rose broach she had that pinned her cloak back, "somewhere out of the way. I'll try to get it by the side of the road."
Naoko nodded then turned back and started back towards camp.
During this exchange, the caravan had gotten even closer. Sakura turned back towards the road. "We'll hit the middle where there are less guards. You three," she indicated Chiharu, Meling, and Rika, "will keep the guards back. Tomoyo and I will find the money and confiscate it. When I shout for retreat, scatter and return back to camp."
"Right," Meling replied.
When the guards got closer, Sakura motioned for silence. Suddenly, Sakura gave the gesture to charge. Her companions gave a war-whoop and leapt out of the tree.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sakura sighed, got to her feet, and slowly made her way back to their base. "Don't want to stay too long or they'll start to get worried." She quickened her pace.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All around her, Sakura could hear the sounds of fighting. She and Tomoyo were heading towards the wagon where they believed the money was.
"You go around to the front of the wagon and get two horses for us to escape on. Release the rest of them." Sakura directed Tomoyo. "I'll open the back and put some money in our bags." She grinned and portrayed a bag with a money sign on it.
"Did you have to choose something so obvious?" Tomoyo whispered angrily.
"Hey, we might as well have some fun!" Sakura whispered back.
Tomoyo rolled her eyes, then turned and ran towards the front of the wagon.
Sakura smiled to herself then started to the posterior end of the wagon. Before she could open the door, many armed guards jumped out and caught her.
"Run!! Everybody run!" Sakura screamed.
"Sakura, help!" she heard Chiharu's voice over the clanking of hand cuffs.
Sakura knew it was no use to fight. She broke free from the guards holding her and started running for the side of the road, fumbling with the rose broach. Before she got very far, she felt someone grab her waist and knock her to the ground. The broach tumbled out of her hand and into the side of the road.
*Please let Naoko find it!*
She then blackened out.
