"The government plan a search in new places like Sun town..." Syaoran said as Meiling gasp....
"Our hometown..." Syaoran added....Sakura and Tomoyo gasp too....
"You said 'places', what's the other town?" Tomoyo said, dreading 'it's not this place'.
"Sirca town, this town..."
"Hoe?" Sakura said, 'Oh no!', "Why this place?" she added...
"They said they saw bright light coming from here three days ago, the time Meiling fall on a cliff and some miracle happen and Meiling got back safely on ground...No one knows how but they said at that time, they saw light even if there's a sun..." Syaoran said, he lied on the part 'No one knows how', he himself know who it is...
Sakura sighed in relief that no one knows who did it, but got scared when someone saw the light of the pendant, that's a bad omen...
"Anyway, They said, the soldiers are on their way here now, probably reach this place fifteen days from now...and after this town they'll go to Sun town and You all know that Sun town is where magic lies and like that so they think it's in there..." Syaoran said...
"Yeah, where the magical Li clan lives...." Yamazaki slipped it out as Syaoran and Meiling glared at him...
"Magical Li clan?" Tomoyo repeated....

--------------------
"Li Syaoran......You're from Li clan?!" Sakura said, surprised as Syaoran have nothing to do but nod....
"I knew it!!!I knew something's weird on you!" Sakura exclaimed as the others fell(anime style). They thought Sakura will take it hard....Inside her room, Kero was listening....
"I knew that brat wasn't an ordinary man, he's from the powerful Li clan. I can feel great power of moon from him...." He said, he decided to listen more, he want to know what he's intention to Sakura...after all, Li clan is the direct descendants of Clow...The group went silent for a while when someone speak...
"Umm...Syaoran-kun, Why is Li clan have magic?" Sakura asked curiously...
"Every people have magic but only hidden. That's why they call Li clan have the most powerful magic in Eiden...But some people are exempted. Some eidenees have unlocked their power within..." Syaoran said, glancing secretly at Sakura who sweatdropped(Guilty...:))....
"Now, we have magic because we are the direct descendant of Clow reed," Syaoran said looking at Sakura...
"Hoe? Clow reed?" Sakura said, being dense and all....'I've heard that before......"
'I can't believe she doesn't know' Syaoran thought and said...
"Clow reed is the owner of Pearl wings pendant, which they said can produce miracle.... They said, long time ago, everything is alright. This land was full of trees, lakes and people are happy and it's all because the pendant was used for good reasons...But sometime later, people became greedy, they want the pendant on their own...But before Clow died, he said that if the pendant went to wrong hands, it'll turn black and bring destruction in Eiden...
"That silenced them for a while...Years came and still the new owner isn't coming...They are losing hope so our clan predict a future and made it a legend... That his chosen descendants will someday come and will bring the suffering to its end...That the owner and it's chosen protector will come...and that made people start to believe we're powerful. To predict and make a legend, the person's supposed to be powerful... So they trust our word and begin to believe....
"But the governor make some people not to believe in it...They tried to get the pendant on their own...the governor believed that even if Eiden went back to what it is, People will just repeat the past so they try to get it for themselves...I stilll don't know what they plan after they got it but I know it won't make us better..." Syaoran said...everybody was silent, everyone is thoughtful for the moment...
'I didn't know that happened....' Yamazaki thought, for someone who know so much lies, he doesn't know the true truth.....
'So that's how they knew how powerful our clan is...' Meiling thought....
'I wonder why Kero-chan didn't told us about the legend,...' Tomoyo thought
'Eidenees suffered so much, The governor is so mean.... I know the eidenees suffered enough and they'll know consenquences if they try to repeat the past....' Sakura thought....Suddenly something struck out Sakura, Sakura closed her eyes and feel something and she speak aloud...
"Wait a minute...If you're from the magical Li clan, you have magic then you must've known that...." Sakura said slowly....Syaoran sighs...'I always wonder when you'll find out...' he thought...
"Yes, that's right....I know...that it's you who have the pendant...." Syaoran said solemnly...
"Hoeee..."
"And I also knew you caused the miracle for Meiling..." Syaoran said as Sakura looked at Meiling, who nod at her....
"I also knew that you are running away from the government..."
"So you knew from the start..." Sakura said, understanding all of it as Syaoran nods...
"Another question, you said the chosen owner and the protector...If you are at Esmilia to meet someone...I'm the one you're looking for, right? You have a sword because youre the said protector of the legend, aren't you?The one who'll protect me...?" Sakura said as Syaoran nod again...
"I knew it!Something bugs me all this time!Since I met you...." Sakura said loudly...
"What all this racket?Don't you know someone's still sleeping?!" A new voice heard, everyone turned their head to the speaker and Sakura first says...
"Gomen nasai, Gien-kun." She said sheepishly...Gien turned his head to her, and smiled...
"Ohayou, Sakura...it's alright..." he said as Sakura smiled at him sweetly...
"About time you wake up...It's your fault not waking up early," Syaoran said, almost growling...
"What's that?!" Gien said, somehow angry...Tomoyo noticed it....
"Umm guys, it's dinner time..." Tomoyo said, as the others went to the table...Syaoran and Gien looked at her then to each other...both shrugged off after minutes pass....
"Hey, you want to come here or not?" Meiling called out as Syaoran, Tomoyo and Gien(In order) walk towards the table...
They eat quietly as Sakura secretly glance at Syaoran...'He knew all along, I'm so dense not to feel his aura...I knew something's with him...' She thought as Gien kept glancing at Sakura...'Boy, you're so adorable, Sakura. First time I saw you...I know I like you already...' He thought....All of them are busy glancing at each other...Meiling eyeing Syaoran who's looking at Gien angrily...'Why is he angry at Gien-kun?' Meiling thought suspiciously...And Tomoyo is looking at Sakura, she smiled at herself and try to consentrate on her food....and said...
"You know Meiling-chan, you're getting better on cooking this..." Tomoyo said, hoping that'll start a conversation, everyone turned their heads on Tomoyo and Meiling smiled knowing the intention of the girl...
"Well, thank you...I add leaf spices to make it better..."
"Really?Oh Meiling, can you teach me how to cook this?" Sakura asked,
"Sure, tomorrow, we'll cook it together but we're out of leaf spice so we need to buy some...."
"I'll come with you in the market..." Sakura said and meiling said it's okay...
"You know, about the leaves..." Yamazaki started, everyone look at him....
"What about them?" Syaoran first said...
"At first, it grew on humans, not trees..."
"Hoe?" Sakura blinks...
"Really?" Tomoyo asked, deciding to play along....
Yamazaki nods and continued, "But people became allergic to leaves..."
"And then?" Gien said, wanting to join conversations...
"And they sneeze a lot. So they pulled off all their leaves and planted them by trees and that's how trees got leaves today...." He said grinning innocently...Everyone looked at him with amazement, only one didn't...She sighed...
"You know Yamazaki-kun...If you tell those tales again to Chiharu-chan, she's sure to pound you again..." Meiling said not affected by the lie and Yamazaki flinched...
"That's a lie?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo giggles...
"Boy, you got me there..." Gien said....
"You fall for it..." Syaoran added as Gien glares at him....(I guess they didn't hit off as friends...*Sweatdropped*)....The others sweatdrop and Tomoyo giggles....
*=====*=====*
"Just as I thought, her dream is not ordinary...it shows the future..." Eriol said, taking off his glasses....
"Her power's still increasing but it's still not strong enough. The little wolf should help by now, since all of them already know. I must visit him, I'll ask him to train my half daughter, Sakura..." Eriol said, playfully wriggling his glasses...
"But, Gien still doesn't know the truth about them...little does he know, the person his father was looking for was the one he adores..." Eriol said looking at the glass of water on the table. In the clear water, it shows Gien looking at Sakura secretly while Sakura was talking to Meiling whose teaching her to cook...
*=====*=====*
"There, you're doing pretty well, Kinomoto-chan..." Meiling said, patting Sakura's back lightly, Sakura smiled at her, silent comes...
"Umm, Meiling-chan, you knew all along, didn't you?" Sakura said, she means the pendant...Meiling nods...
"Then from that time I saved you, you knew?" Again, Meiling nods...
"Then why didn't you tell me you knew, at least I can move easily with all of you around. That I'll not worry if you will know..." Sakura said...
"The elders...said that we have to secretly protect you, I don't know why to...but I know they just think you'll be at ease if those around you won't know your secret so we didn't say anything..."....." But now you know, well, let's not think about it...Everyone knows now...." Meiling said as she add some leaf spice inside the cauldron....Few minutes later, the odor of it can be smelled in the whole house...
"Umm, how is it now?" Tomoyo asked...
"I'm going out first to get some bread in the market, i'll be back quick..." Meiling said as she get a basket and went out...
" Okay, Take care!" Sakura called out and turned to Tomoyo..."It's fine now, it'll take 5 minutes before it's ready...." Sakura said, smiling, but Tomoyo seemed to be disturbed and Sakura noticed it....
"What's wrong, Tomoyo-chan?"
"It's about Kero, when I went to our room, I saw a note from kero-chan saying: went to a basket I saw full of food..." she said urgently...
"Eh? But the basket with food a while ago is with Meiling!Oh that Kero!!!!" Sakura said, furious...she went out of the kitchen mumbling something like 'he doesn't know what'll happen if he'll be seen...'...they went out of the house, Sakura can hear Yamazaki asking where she was going but she ignore it...
"Where are you two going?" Yamazaki asked...
"Out for market, to Meiling-chan, she forgot her purse..." Tomoyo lied as she close the door...Yamazaki shook his head in disbelief...
"That Meiling, always forgetful..."
Sakura walked fast as she can see Meiling's hair...She caught up with her...
"Kinomoto-chan?What are you doing here?" Meiling questions...
"I just have something to get in your basket..." Meiling eyes her strangely as Sakura look for Kero...When she found Kero, she secretly glared at him and told him to act as stuffed animal("Who's a stuffed animal?!" Kero said to me!!)...She took him out...
"That stuffed animal again?!" Meiling exclaimed pointing at Kero...
"Ehe he he...Hoeeee" Sakura said while Tomoyo caught up with them, Tomoyo gave Sakura the did-you-find-the-problem look and Sakura nods...
"What's the matter with you two?!" Meiling asked at the two girls...
"Nothing, It's just that this stuffed animal(Kero:Grrrrrr....) is always get lost so I went here and get it..." Sakura said as Kero sweatdropped...
"Then why don't you just let it lost..." Meiling joked...'Grrrr, that kid, once I get my hands on you...' Kero said, angry deep inside...
"hoeee..."
"Hey, how does your cooking taste?" Meiling said, thinking they already finished it....Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other and to the direction of their house, theres a smoke coming out of it...
"Oh no!!!!" Sakura said, started running...
"What's 'oh no'? Oh no...don't tell me you..." Meiling didn't continue when Tomoyo nods and they run faster........
*=====*=====*
"Oh my,...." Tomoyo said, she looked at the dish, it was suppose to be meat with white sauce but instead, the meat was black and the white sauce is so over cooked the toppings in it turned black...Sakura is crying...she can't believe her first cooking lesson is messed up...In Esmilia, Tomoyo, her brother or her Father are the only one who cooks so she doesn't know...Actually, she's good at it but she always leaves it so it always burn...
"Oh it's alright, it's your first try after all. We don't expect you to make it excellent..." Meiling sooths her...
"But you helped me and I wasted your efforts, money and everything..." Everyone looked at her, they didn't want her to come back on being sad again so... They heard a crunching noise...All looked at Syaoran, he's eating her dish...
"hmmm...it's good, Sakura...this is the first time I ate a crunchy meat...Don't worry, it's still good so don't cry anymore..." Syaoran said as he chew his food, looking away....
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura said, smiling...
"Okay, I'm going to eat, too!" Gien said as he put stuffs on his mouth...
"It's good..." Gien said, his hands with an 'okay' sign...And Yamazaki and Tomoyo starts to cut a part of it and ate it...
"Arigatou, minna-san..." Sakura said...After they ate Sakura said she'll wash the dishes in return...As she wash the dishes, she looked at the left overs of her cooking, she ate some and...'This taste awful...but why did they said it's okay...' she thought...and, 'Syaoran-kun...' she smiled...'They're so sweet...' and she continue washing dishes....
*=====*=====*
"Little wolf..." A strong voice called, 'Dare ga(Who're you)?Where am I?' Syaoran thought, around him is dark....
"Let me show you...." the disembodied voice said. Suddenly, around him started to light up and he was brought in a scene...It contains a soldiers fighting with another him and...
'Kinomoto?' he thought as the scene change where the other Syaoran is busy fighting three soldiers at a time and Sakura is being chased by four soldiers...
'Why is she running?' Syaoran thought. Mystery to him, the disembodied voice replies...
"It's because she doesn't know how to fight these soldiers. Maybe one soldier she can but four against one is unfair for her body..."
'Who are you?' Syaoran mentally asked the voice, he know he can hear his thoughts...
"I am what I can be...You are what you can be..." it said...Syaoran wants to ask more but see the scene is coming worse...he can see Sakura being beaten, the other him wants to go to her but the soldiers are not agreeing to him...
'I can't let this happen...' Syaoran thought....
"But it will happen if Sakura's lack of experience in fighting will continue." it said...The scene fade away and went back to it's darkness. Syaoran closes his eyes and the next moment shown in front of him is the ceiling...
"Only a dream..." Syaoran said as he replay the scenes in his mind...
*=====*=====*
3 days later....
A beautiful morning...children running around playing their games, some people chasing their chicken. Couples around finding places to eat...the smells of the food for breakfast, everything's perfect, except one person... only one person hates and struggle early morning...
"Why do I have to do this?" Sakura said, as she holds a sword unproperly...
They're on the side of Meiling's house, it's quite hidden. It has walls so they can't be seen easily by anyone and it's wide so they can practice there...Syaoran decides to teach her how to fight. He can't allow what happened in his dream, he won't complete his task if he can't protect her.
"No, that's not how to hold a sword."
Syaoran went towards her and showed her nearer how to hold a sword...Sakura tried to copy his holding but she just can't. Syaoran, putting down his sword, walks closer and went to Sakura's back... He puts his two hands over hers and make her properly...Sakura, though, is not paying attention to what he says. Instead, she is taking note how his sweating strong arms brushes with hers, making her shivers...she doesn't know why but she's feeling her face getting hot as if her blood went up...
"Are you listening?" Syaoran keeps saying when he realize she not listening. Sakura went out of her trance and snap back to reality when she finally heard the strong gentle voice...
"Hey, Are you listening?I've been talking all a while and you're not listening?" Syaoran complained as Sakura turned to him(to her back) and smiles sheepishly and Syaoran sighed...
"As I was saying, it should be pointed upwardly. You must hold it with your left hand under you right hand." He said as he demonstrates it with him and Sakura holding each other. Sakura just couldn't resist but blush...
"And when you slash..." he demonstrate again, he direct it to the left and right slowly as Sakura nods....
"There, got it?" Syaoran said, Sakura looked up and nods.
Syaoran let go of her and take his sword. He positioned his self in a fighting stance, frowning serious face looks at her intently. Sakura gets ready and copies his stance and they fight...
Syaoran attacked speechless, Sakura dodges the attack from him by her sword...left and right, Sakura sways her sword as she backwardly step because of Syaoran's force.
They continue that for at least thirty to forty minutes. Of course, being a girl, it's hard to keep swaying something heavy. Soon enough, she lower her guard for a mini-second and Syaoran hit her but not by his sword. Instead, he put a fist in front of her face(Get it?) and Sakura fall on her knees...
"You okay?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah, Can we rest for a while..."
"That's why we stop, didn't we?" Syaoran said as he sit beside her...
"You know, you're pretty good, although you must remember not to lower your guard when you're in a fight." Syaoran said and Sakura nods. There was an awkward pause.
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura started and Syaoran looks at her
"Why do I have to do this?" she asked not bothering to look at him.
"Something tells me you need it. So if you're in trouble and I'm not available, you can protect yourself." Syaoran said, looking away.
"I know, do you think they'll find out it's me?"
"Maybe."
"Why do we have to stay here when they'll search here?" Sakura asked
"It's because if we go now, we don't know how they'll come here. So if we leave now, we might come across them while travelling, and it's only trouble...Maybe we'll go before the search, I heard they'll search after eleven at night when they arrived." There's a moment of silent.
"When will all this hiding come to an end?" Sakura abruptly said...
"I don't know.... When time comes, when you're strong enough, we can fight the goverment for their silly motive. We'll break the suffering in here. We'll free ourselves from the chains they tied to us and fly freely like those ones." Syaoran said as he look at the bird flying freely in the sky.
"Why don't we just break the chains right now and freely fly like you said?" Syaoran looked at her.
"You know the consequence when you do something like that. When you don't suceed, you'll just be found by the soldiers. You don't have enough power to do that, suceeding or not you'll just drain yourself or might get killed for that." Syaoran replied.
"Why do I have to travel?Why do I have to be protected by someone? Why can't I just go home?" Sakura asked, sobbing...She misses her family it's been almost a month since then, Her family must be worried about her now.
"Don't worry. Once everything is done, once you've done your part, we may go to our own families. Everything's gonna be fine, trust me..." Syaoran said, comforting her. Sakura finally lookked at him, she smiled at him.
"Arigatou..." Sakura said as she stand up her back on him. Syaoran stands up and Sakura turned to him.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's practice." Sakura said, getting her sword. Syaoran smiled a little and take his sword and they start practicing again.
...........
"Hey, where's Sakura?" Gien asks, the whole day. He didn't see Sakura in the corners of Meiling's house.
"At the side of this house, right side. They're practicing, so don't disturb them." meiling said as she chop the meat. Gien went where Meiling said where and he found Sakura and Syaoran fighting. he decided to watch them.
"You know, you're such a wimp, can't even hit me once." Syaoran mock as Sakura follows him while trying to hit him.
"Nan desu ne!(What's that)" Sakura is trying to slash him more hard, so furious about him. She can't let anyone mock her like that.
"What?" Syaoran said in his most infuriating voice as if he didn't know the girl's mad at him. Syaoran keep circling her while avoiding her hits.
"Once I get you, you won't be able to breathe again!!!" Sakura threat all red, Syaoran's actually enjoying on teasing her. She's becoming a monster when she's mad.
"Ohhh, I'm scared..." Syaoran said, a fake fright in his voice. Sakura, on the other hand, swing her sword wildly and Tankkkk! Syaoran's sword came flying over the air and out of Syaoran's reach.
"Hey, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously, I was just letting you mad so you'll put out your best." Syaoran explained, backing up because it seems like Sakura's smoking in...
"I know that but I want you to take back all what you said." Sakura practically command as she pushed him against the wall and threat the tip of the blade on his chest.
"Why would I do that?" Syaoran mocks again
"Because I have a sword and y-o-u don't." Sakura said smirking, Syaoran actually grinned and in the blink of her eyes the sword of Syaoran went to his hands and being fast, he thrust his sword with her hard and making her sword fall on the floor.
"Correction. I'm the one with a sword and you don't." Syaoran mocks.
"That was unfair. You used magic." Sakura complained.
"No, I don't. I just have magnetic personality." he said simply.
"It's still unfair, I don't have some like that." Sakura pouts and Syaoran chuckles. Suddenly, Sakura seemed thoughtful and Syaoran noticed it.
"What are you thinking about?" Syaoran asked.
"Huh?Nothing, It's just that you're smiling a lot today. Did something happens?" Sakura asks, Syaoran actually flinched. He hadn't notice that he is smiling now or something. It naturally went out.
"Do I?" Syaoran asks as Sakura giggles.
"Of course, silly."
Sakura continues to giggle as Syaoran stares at her, somewhat blushing. He doesn't know why but all of a sudden, he felt all his blood went up to his face. Then he wonders how Sakura can light up the room just by smiling, he wonders if she actually know she has that kind of power. Gien looked at them. He saw everything...'So weird. Why are they practicing to fight?And why is Syaoran staring at Sakura like that?!' Gien thought.
"Ehermm." Sakura stopped giggling and they look at the speaker.
"Gien-kun. What are you doing here?" Sakura said, standing up and Syaoran as well.
"Nothing. I just heard someone talking over here so I came to check up." Gien lied, smiling as Syaoran went to his old frowning face again glaring at Gien.
"Oh," that's all she can say.
"So want to have a drink?" Gien asks.
"Yeah, let's do that. I've been dying to have some water." Sakura said as she follows Gien to the kitchen but suddenly stop on her tracks just by the door and turned to Syaoran.
"Syaoran-kun, want to come?" Sakura said calling his attention.
"Y-yeah." Syaoran said following her on the door.
*=====*=====*
10 days later....4 pm
"Hey, today's the arrival of the soldiers, right?" Tomoyo asks as she give Sakura and Syaoran their drinks, they just finish the training. Today, Sakura almost knock Syaoran off.
"Yeah, ne Syaoran-kun. When will we leave?and Where will we stay?" Sakura said turning to Syaoran who stares at her but broke it when he heard Sakura talk to her.
"Maybe in at s-seven. We'll go to Desuria, I h-have my s-sister there." Syaoran said, stuttering. Tomoyo was surprise, the great Li Syaoran stutters?!She look at Sakura who didn't notice it and to Syaoran. She saw Li secretly glancing at her friend Sakura.
'Why is he...?" she thought.
"Syaoran-kun, you alright?" Sakura said, worried.
"Y-yeah, why do you ask?" Syaoran wonders.
"You're face is getting red." Sakura point at his face. Tomoyo actually giggles and Syaoran flinch.
"Will Meiling and the others come?" Sakura asks abruptly.
"Daidouji-san and Yamazaki will come of course. But Meiling, I don't know, she have her house here."
"Okay. How about Gien-kun?"
"I don't know, what if he'll know what you are?" Syaoran said.
"Yeah, he still doesn't know." Tomoyo said.
"Know what?" All of a sudden, Gien appeared on Sakura's back as Sakura flinch.
"G-Gien-kun, when did you came here?!" Sakura said, as the others nod in agreement.
"While you're talking about the travelling and stuffs. Why would you travel for?"
"Mind your own business." Syaoran said menacingly..
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura scolds and turned to Gien who's glaring at Syaoran.
"Don't mind him. We need to travel because of some important things." Sakura said.
"Can I come?" Gien asks,
He have a feeling when the soldiers see him here, they'll probably take him back and the soldiers might blame some people that they kidnap him. Besides, he want to be near Sakura.Sakura look over Tomoyo and Syaoran who's still glaring at Gien.
"Sure...I guess." Sakura said...
*=====*=====*
6:45 pm
"Are you ready now?" Syaoran asks them...It's time for them to leave, before the soldiers come and guard the gates.
"Sakura and Tomoyo's still in their room." Yamazaki said.
"Okay..." Syaoran said...
"Mou, Why do I have to be left out?!I'll come!I won't leave you when that girl is with you!" she means Sakura. Even if she's at least being nice to her. She still won't let her get away with her Syaoran. Syaoran sighed. He's having a funny feeling Meiling will do everything to come so...
"Okay fine. Meiling get ready. Yamazaki, please ask your girlfriend to look after Meiling's house. We'll meet you at the gate going Desuria..." Syaoran said with no energy as Yamazaki went out. 'Problems, problems...' he thought,
"Oh come on!Kero-chan!Go to the bag!" Sakura said to Kero..
"No way, the last time, I went to that thing. I almost died!" Kero replied...
"Oh for goodness sake!You're a magical beast!How can you die by just being in the bag?! Sakura said exasperately. Kero didn't answer as Tomoyo suddenly had a good Idea. She went out of their room and went to the kitchen holding their bag, One minute later she came back with the bag full of food...
"Ne, Kero-chan... Would you get in here or not?" Tomoyo said, Kero still don't know that the bag is full of food now. and said...
"I told you I won't!" He said and pointed the bag which is open so he can see the food inside. He almost drool over it but Sakura speaks...
"Well, okay, We'll leave you in this room, okay? We'll be seen by the guards if we don't leave now...bye." Sakura mocks as she and Tomoyo slowly walking out of the door...
"Wait, wait... I'll go in now!" Kero said with a pleading face. Sakura and Tomoyo just giggle at their intelligence, They let Kero in and once in a while they'll here a moan.
"So let's go?" Syaoran said and Sakura and the others nods as they went out. As they went out, Syaoran put out a cloak.
"What is that for?" Sakura asked. Syaoran put it to her as his answer. Sakura looked at him strangely.
"You need that so the soldiers won't notice your pendant." he whispers and she nods. As they meet up with Yamazaki, in the corner of their eye, they see the soldiers coming in. Gien walked faster and went beside Tomoyo so he can't be seen by the soldiers.
"What is it, Gien-kun?" Tomoyo asks when she saw a little fear on his eyes.
"Nothing..." he lied as they came to Yamazaki.
"Any problem with girlfriend..." Syaoran automatically ask..
"None at all. She immediately said yes."
"Then let's go before the soldiers guard this side of gate." Syaoran said and they left Sirca town....
*=====*=====*
11:00 pm, Sirca town....
No birds were flying on air, the streets are empty and the lights are gone. There's a search on going, searching for the pendant. The soldiers went houses after houses, hoping to find the pearl wings pendant but with no luck. At last, they come to Meiling's house, only one person is in there at the moment: Chiharu....
"We're going to search here..." The soldier said before coming in.
"Please do..." Chiharu said, with fright in her voice. The soldiers search her house for at least 30-45 minutes and find nothing. Before the soldiers leave, they ask Chiharu a few questions.
"Have you seen a person wearing a necklace?" Chiharu nods.
"Yes, I think"
"Has it have a pendant cling to it?" the soldiers asked again.
"Yes, I think I saw some." Chiharu said. The soldier thinks Chiharu have seen many so...
"In any of those pendants you've seen, is there something like a pearl like shape with a beautiful northern star inside?"
"Yes, I have!" Chiharu said as the soldiers exchange looks.
"Where did you seen it?"
"It's in my friend's necklace..." Chiharu said.
"And who's your friend?" the soldiers said... Chiharu became thoughtful, she remember her grandfather saying not to tell names to strangers and these soldiers are strangers...
"I... forgot her name..." Chiharu lied, thinking of Sakura. In soldiers mind, they heard her said, 'her'. it means it's a girl wearing one.
"Thank you for your information..." and the soldiers left her...

Last chapter's end
------------
"The government plan a search in new places like Sun town..." Syaoran said as Meiling gasp....
"Our hometown..." Syaoran added....Sakura and Tomoyo gasp too....
"You said 'places', what's the other town?" Tomoyo said, dreading 'it's not this place'.
"Sirca town, this town..."
"Hoe?" Sakura said, 'Oh no!', "Why this place?" she added...
"They said they saw bright light coming from here three days ago, the time Meiling fall on a cliff and some miracle happen and Meiling got back safely on ground...No one knows how but they said at that time, they saw light even if there's a sun..." Syaoran said, he lied on the part 'No one knows how', he himself know who it is...
Sakura sighed in relief that no one knows who did it, but got scared when someone saw the light of the pendant, that's a bad omen...
"Anyway, They said, the soldiers are on their way here now, probably reach this place fifteen days from now...and after this town they'll go to Sun town and You all know that Sun town is where magic lies and like that so they think it's in there..." Syaoran said...
"Yeah, where the magical Li clan lives...." Yamazaki slipped it out as Syaoran and Meiling glared at him...
"Magical Li clan?" Tomoyo repeated....

Chapter 6: Revelations, cooking lesson and trainings...
By: sakura2649
--------------------
"Li Syaoran......You're from Li clan?!" Sakura said, surprised as Syaoran have nothing to do but nod....
"I knew it!!!I knew something's weird on you!" Sakura exclaimed as the others fell(anime style). They thought Sakura will take it hard....Inside her room, Kero was listening....
"I knew that brat wasn't an ordinary man, he's from the powerful Li clan. I can feel great power of moon from him...." He said, he decided to listen more, he want to know what he's intention to Sakura...after all, Li clan is the direct descendants of Clow...The group went silent for a while when someone speak...
"Umm...Syaoran-kun, Why is Li clan have magic?" Sakura asked curiously...
"Every people have magic but only hidden. That's why they call Li clan have the most powerful magic in Eiden...But some people are exempted. Some eidenees have unlocked their power within..." Syaoran said, glancing secretly at Sakura who sweatdropped(Guilty...:))....
"Now, we have magic because we are the direct descendant of Clow reed," Syaoran said looking at Sakura...
"Hoe? Clow reed?" Sakura said, being dense and all....'I've heard that before......"
'I can't believe she doesn't know' Syaoran thought and said...
"Clow reed is the owner of Pearl wings pendant, which they said can produce miracle.... They said, long time ago, everything is alright. This land was full of trees, lakes and people are happy and it's all because the pendant was used for good reasons...But sometime later, people became greedy, they want the pendant on their own...But before Clow died, he said that if the pendant went to wrong hands, it'll turn black and bring destruction in Eiden...
"That silenced them for a while...Years came and still the new owner isn't coming...They are losing hope so our clan predict a future and made it a legend... That his chosen descendants will someday come and will bring the suffering to its end...That the owner and it's chosen protector will come...and that made people start to believe we're powerful. To predict and make a legend, the person's supposed to be powerful... So they trust our word and begin to believe....
"But the governor make some people not to believe in it...They tried to get the pendant on their own...the governor believed that even if Eiden went back to what it is, People will just repeat the past so they try to get it for themselves...I stilll don't know what they plan after they got it but I know it won't make us better..." Syaoran said...everybody was silent, everyone is thoughtful for the moment...
'I didn't know that happened....' Yamazaki thought, for someone who know so much lies, he doesn't know the true truth.....
'So that's how they knew how powerful our clan is...' Meiling thought....
'I wonder why Kero-chan didn't told us about the legend,...' Tomoyo thought
'Eidenees suffered so much, The governor is so mean.... I know the eidenees suffered enough and they'll know consenquences if they try to repeat the past....' Sakura thought....Suddenly something struck out Sakura, Sakura closed her eyes and feel something and she speak aloud...
"Wait a minute...If you're from the magical Li clan, you have magic then you must've known that...." Sakura said slowly....Syaoran sighs...'I always wonder when you'll find out...' he thought...
"Yes, that's right....I know...that it's you who have the pendant...." Syaoran said solemnly...
"Hoeee..."
"And I also knew you caused the miracle for Meiling..." Syaoran said as Sakura looked at Meiling, who nod at her....
"I also knew that you are running away from the government..."
"So you knew from the start..." Sakura said, understanding all of it as Syaoran nods...
"Another question, you said the chosen owner and the protector...If you are at Esmilia to meet someone...I'm the one you're looking for, right? You have a sword because youre the said protector of the legend, aren't you?The one who'll protect me...?" Sakura said as Syaoran nod again...
"I knew it!Something bugs me all this time!Since I met you...." Sakura said loudly...
"What all this racket?Don't you know someone's still sleeping?!" A new voice heard, everyone turned their head to the speaker and Sakura first says...
"Gomen nasai, Gien-kun." She said sheepishly...Gien turned his head to her, and smiled...
"Ohayou, Sakura...it's alright..." he said as Sakura smiled at him sweetly...
"About time you wake up...It's your fault not waking up early," Syaoran said, almost growling...
"What's that?!" Gien said, somehow angry...Tomoyo noticed it....
"Umm guys, it's dinner time..." Tomoyo said, as the others went to the table...Syaoran and Gien looked at her then to each other...both shrugged off after minutes pass....
"Hey, you want to come here or not?" Meiling called out as Syaoran, Tomoyo and Gien(In order) walk towards the table...
They eat quietly as Sakura secretly glance at Syaoran...'He knew all along, I'm so dense not to feel his aura...I knew something's with him...' She thought as Gien kept glancing at Sakura...'Boy, you're so adorable, Sakura. First time I saw you...I know I like you already...' He thought....All of them are busy glancing at each other...Meiling eyeing Syaoran who's looking at Gien angrily...'Why is he angry at Gien-kun?' Meiling thought suspiciously...And Tomoyo is looking at Sakura, she smiled at herself and try to consentrate on her food....and said...
"You know Meiling-chan, you're getting better on cooking this..." Tomoyo said, hoping that'll start a conversation, everyone turned their heads on Tomoyo and Meiling smiled knowing the intention of the girl...
"Well, thank you...I add leaf spices to make it better..."
"Really?Oh Meiling, can you teach me how to cook this?" Sakura asked,
"Sure, tomorrow, we'll cook it together but we're out of leaf spice so we need to buy some...."
"I'll come with you in the market..." Sakura said and meiling said it's okay...
"You know, about the leaves..." Yamazaki started, everyone look at him....
"What about them?" Syaoran first said...
"At first, it grew on humans, not trees..."
"Hoe?" Sakura blinks...
"Really?" Tomoyo asked, deciding to play along....
Yamazaki nods and continued, "But people became allergic to leaves..."
"And then?" Gien said, wanting to join conversations...
"And they sneeze a lot. So they pulled off all their leaves and planted them by trees and that's how trees got leaves today...." He said grinning innocently...Everyone looked at him with amazement, only one didn't...She sighed...
"You know Yamazaki-kun...If you tell those tales again to Chiharu-chan, she's sure to pound you again..." Meiling said not affected by the lie and Yamazaki flinched...
"That's a lie?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo giggles...
"Boy, you got me there..." Gien said....
"You fall for it..." Syaoran added as Gien glares at him....(I guess they didn't hit off as friends...*Sweatdropped*)....The others sweatdrop and Tomoyo giggles....
*=====*=====*
"Just as I thought, her dream is not ordinary...it shows the future..." Eriol said, taking off his glasses....
"Her power's still increasing but it's still not strong enough. The little wolf should help by now, since all of them already know. I must visit him, I'll ask him to train my half daughter, Sakura..." Eriol said, playfully wriggling his glasses...
"But, Gien still doesn't know the truth about them...little does he know, the person his father was looking for was the one he adores..." Eriol said looking at the glass of water on the table. In the clear water, it shows Gien looking at Sakura secretly while Sakura was talking to Meiling whose teaching her to cook...
*=====*=====*
"There, you're doing pretty well, Kinomoto-chan..." Meiling said, patting Sakura's back lightly, Sakura smiled at her, silent comes...
"Umm, Meiling-chan, you knew all along, didn't you?" Sakura said, she means the pendant...Meiling nods...
"Then from that time I saved you, you knew?" Again, Meiling nods...
"Then why didn't you tell me you knew, at least I can move easily with all of you around. That I'll not worry if you will know..." Sakura said...
"The elders...said that we have to secretly protect you, I don't know why to...but I know they just think you'll be at ease if those around you won't know your secret so we didn't say anything..."....." But now you know, well, let's not think about it...Everyone knows now...." Meiling said as she add some leaf spice inside the cauldron....Few minutes later, the odor of it can be smelled in the whole house...
"Umm, how is it now?" Tomoyo asked...
"I'm going out first to get some bread in the market, i'll be back quick..." Meiling said as she get a basket and went out...
" Okay, Take care!" Sakura called out and turned to Tomoyo..."It's fine now, it'll take 5 minutes before it's ready...." Sakura said, smiling, but Tomoyo seemed to be disturbed and Sakura noticed it....
"What's wrong, Tomoyo-chan?"
"It's about Kero, when I went to our room, I saw a note from kero-chan saying: went to a basket I saw full of food..." she said urgently...
"Eh? But the basket with food a while ago is with Meiling!Oh that Kero!!!!" Sakura said, furious...she went out of the kitchen mumbling something like 'he doesn't know what'll happen if he'll be seen...'...they went out of the house, Sakura can hear Yamazaki asking where she was going but she ignore it...
"Where are you two going?" Yamazaki asked...
"Out for market, to Meiling-chan, she forgot her purse..." Tomoyo lied as she close the door...Yamazaki shook his head in disbelief...
"That Meiling, always forgetful..."
Sakura walked fast as she can see Meiling's hair...She caught up with her...
"Kinomoto-chan?What are you doing here?" Meiling questions...
"I just have something to get in your basket..." Meiling eyes her strangely as Sakura look for Kero...When she found Kero, she secretly glared at him and told him to act as stuffed animal("Who's a stuffed animal?!" Kero said to me!!)...She took him out...
"That stuffed animal again?!" Meiling exclaimed pointing at Kero...
"Ehe he he...Hoeeee" Sakura said while Tomoyo caught up with them, Tomoyo gave Sakura the did-you-find-the-problem look and Sakura nods...
"What's the matter with you two?!" Meiling asked at the two girls...
"Nothing, It's just that this stuffed animal(Kero:Grrrrrr....) is always get lost so I went here and get it..." Sakura said as Kero sweatdropped...
"Then why don't you just let it lost..." Meiling joked...'Grrrr, that kid, once I get my hands on you...' Kero said, angry deep inside...
"hoeee..."
"Hey, how does your cooking taste?" Meiling said, thinking they already finished it....Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other and to the direction of their house, theres a smoke coming out of it...
"Oh no!!!!" Sakura said, started running...
"What's 'oh no'? Oh no...don't tell me you..." Meiling didn't continue when Tomoyo nods and they run faster........
*=====*=====*
"Oh my,...." Tomoyo said, she looked at the dish, it was suppose to be meat with white sauce but instead, the meat was black and the white sauce is so over cooked the toppings in it turned black...Sakura is crying...she can't believe her first cooking lesson is messed up...In Esmilia, Tomoyo, her brother or her Father are the only one who cooks so she doesn't know...Actually, she's good at it but she always leaves it so it always burn...
"Oh it's alright, it's your first try after all. We don't expect you to make it excellent..." Meiling sooths her...
"But you helped me and I wasted your efforts, money and everything..." Everyone looked at her, they didn't want her to come back on being sad again so... They heard a crunching noise...All looked at Syaoran, he's eating her dish...
"hmmm...it's good, Sakura...this is the first time I ate a crunchy meat...Don't worry, it's still good so don't cry anymore..." Syaoran said as he chew his food, looking away....
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura said, smiling...
"Okay, I'm going to eat, too!" Gien said as he put stuffs on his mouth...
"It's good..." Gien said, his hands with an 'okay' sign...And Yamazaki and Tomoyo starts to cut a part of it and ate it...
"Arigatou, minna-san..." Sakura said...After they ate Sakura said she'll wash the dishes in return...As she wash the dishes, she looked at the left overs of her cooking, she ate some and...'This taste awful...but why did they said it's okay...' she thought...and, 'Syaoran-kun...' she smiled...'They're so sweet...' and she continue washing dishes....
*=====*=====*
"Little wolf..." A strong voice called, 'Dare ga(Who're you)?Where am I?' Syaoran thought, around him is dark....
"Let me show you...." the disembodied voice said. Suddenly, around him started to light up and he was brought in a scene...It contains a soldiers fighting with another him and...
'Kinomoto?' he thought as the scene change where the other Syaoran is busy fighting three soldiers at a time and Sakura is being chased by four soldiers...
'Why is she running?' Syaoran thought. Mystery to him, the disembodied voice replies...
"It's because she doesn't know how to fight these soldiers. Maybe one soldier she can but four against one is unfair for her body..."
'Who are you?' Syaoran mentally asked the voice, he know he can hear his thoughts...
"I am what I can be...You are what you can be..." it said...Syaoran wants to ask more but see the scene is coming worse...he can see Sakura being beaten, the other him wants to go to her but the soldiers are not agreeing to him...
'I can't let this happen...' Syaoran thought....
"But it will happen if Sakura's lack of experience in fighting will continue." it said...The scene fade away and went back to it's darkness. Syaoran closes his eyes and the next moment shown in front of him is the ceiling...
"Only a dream..." Syaoran said as he replay the scenes in his mind...
*=====*=====*
3 days later....
A beautiful morning...children running around playing their games, some people chasing their chicken. Couples around finding places to eat...the smells of the food for breakfast, everything's perfect, except one person... only one person hates and struggle early morning...
"Why do I have to do this?" Sakura said, as she holds a sword unproperly...
They're on the side of Meiling's house, it's quite hidden. It has walls so they can't be seen easily by anyone and it's wide so they can practice there...Syaoran decides to teach her how to fight. He can't allow what happened in his dream, he won't complete his task if he can't protect her.
"No, that's not how to hold a sword."
Syaoran went towards her and showed her nearer how to hold a sword...Sakura tried to copy his holding but she just can't. Syaoran, putting down his sword, walks closer and went to Sakura's back... He puts his two hands over hers and make her properly...Sakura, though, is not paying attention to what he says. Instead, she is taking note how his sweating strong arms brushes with hers, making her shivers...she doesn't know why but she's feeling her face getting hot as if her blood went up...
"Are you listening?" Syaoran keeps saying when he realize she not listening. Sakura went out of her trance and snap back to reality when she finally heard the strong gentle voice...
"Hey, Are you listening?I've been talking all a while and you're not listening?" Syaoran complained as Sakura turned to him(to her back) and smiles sheepishly and Syaoran sighed...
"As I was saying, it should be pointed upwardly. You must hold it with your left hand under you right hand." He said as he demonstrates it with him and Sakura holding each other. Sakura just couldn't resist but blush...
"And when you slash..." he demonstrate again, he direct it to the left and right slowly as Sakura nods....
"There, got it?" Syaoran said, Sakura looked up and nods.
Syaoran let go of her and take his sword. He positioned his self in a fighting stance, frowning serious face looks at her intently. Sakura gets ready and copies his stance and they fight...
Syaoran attacked speechless, Sakura dodges the attack from him by her sword...left and right, Sakura sways her sword as she backwardly step because of Syaoran's force.
They continue that for at least thirty to forty minutes. Of course, being a girl, it's hard to keep swaying something heavy. Soon enough, she lower her guard for a mini-second and Syaoran hit her but not by his sword. Instead, he put a fist in front of her face(Get it?) and Sakura fall on her knees...
"You okay?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah, Can we rest for a while..."
"That's why we stop, didn't we?" Syaoran said as he sit beside her...
"You know, you're pretty good, although you must remember not to lower your guard when you're in a fight." Syaoran said and Sakura nods. There was an awkward pause.
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura started and Syaoran looks at her
"Why do I have to do this?" she asked not bothering to look at him.
"Something tells me you need it. So if you're in trouble and I'm not available, you can protect yourself." Syaoran said, looking away.
"I know, do you think they'll find out it's me?"
"Maybe."
"Why do we have to stay here when they'll search here?" Sakura asked
"It's because if we go now, we don't know how they'll come here. So if we leave now, we might come across them while travelling, and it's only trouble...Maybe we'll go before the search, I heard they'll search after eleven at night when they arrived." There's a moment of silent.
"When will all this hiding come to an end?" Sakura abruptly said...
"I don't know.... When time comes, when you're strong enough, we can fight the goverment for their silly motive. We'll break the suffering in here. We'll free ourselves from the chains they tied to us and fly freely like those ones." Syaoran said as he look at the bird flying freely in the sky.
"Why don't we just break the chains right now and freely fly like you said?" Syaoran looked at her.
"You know the consequence when you do something like that. When you don't suceed, you'll just be found by the soldiers. You don't have enough power to do that, suceeding or not you'll just drain yourself or might get killed for that." Syaoran replied.
"Why do I have to travel?Why do I have to be protected by someone? Why can't I just go home?" Sakura asked, sobbing...She misses her family it's been almost a month since then, Her family must be worried about her now.
"Don't worry. Once everything is done, once you've done your part, we may go to our own families. Everything's gonna be fine, trust me..." Syaoran said, comforting her. Sakura finally lookked at him, she smiled at him.
"Arigatou..." Sakura said as she stand up her back on him. Syaoran stands up and Sakura turned to him.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's practice." Sakura said, getting her sword. Syaoran smiled a little and take his sword and they start practicing again.
...........
"Hey, where's Sakura?" Gien asks, the whole day. He didn't see Sakura in the corners of Meiling's house.
"At the side of this house, right side. They're practicing, so don't disturb them." meiling said as she chop the meat. Gien went where Meiling said where and he found Sakura and Syaoran fighting. he decided to watch them.
"You know, you're such a wimp, can't even hit me once." Syaoran mock as Sakura follows him while trying to hit him.
"Nan desu ne!(What's that)" Sakura is trying to slash him more hard, so furious about him. She can't let anyone mock her like that.
"What?" Syaoran said in his most infuriating voice as if he didn't know the girl's mad at him. Syaoran keep circling her while avoiding her hits.
"Once I get you, you won't be able to breathe again!!!" Sakura threat all red, Syaoran's actually enjoying on teasing her. She's becoming a monster when she's mad.
"Ohhh, I'm scared..." Syaoran said, a fake fright in his voice. Sakura, on the other hand, swing her sword wildly and Tankkkk! Syaoran's sword came flying over the air and out of Syaoran's reach.
"Hey, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously, I was just letting you mad so you'll put out your best." Syaoran explained, backing up because it seems like Sakura's smoking in...
"I know that but I want you to take back all what you said." Sakura practically command as she pushed him against the wall and threat the tip of the blade on his chest.
"Why would I do that?" Syaoran mocks again
"Because I have a sword and y-o-u don't." Sakura said smirking, Syaoran actually grinned and in the blink of her eyes the sword of Syaoran went to his hands and being fast, he thrust his sword with her hard and making her sword fall on the floor.
"Correction. I'm the one with a sword and you don't." Syaoran mocks.
"That was unfair. You used magic." Sakura complained.
"No, I don't. I just have magnetic personality." he said simply.
"It's still unfair, I don't have some like that." Sakura pouts and Syaoran chuckles. Suddenly, Sakura seemed thoughtful and Syaoran noticed it.
"What are you thinking about?" Syaoran asked.
"Huh?Nothing, It's just that you're smiling a lot today. Did something happens?" Sakura asks, Syaoran actually flinched. He hadn't notice that he is smiling now or something. It naturally went out.
"Do I?" Syaoran asks as Sakura giggles.
"Of course, silly."
Sakura continues to giggle as Syaoran stares at her, somewhat blushing. He doesn't know why but all of a sudden, he felt all his blood went up to his face. Then he wonders how Sakura can light up the room just by smiling, he wonders if she actually know she has that kind of power. Gien looked at them. He saw everything...'So weird. Why are they practicing to fight?And why is Syaoran staring at Sakura like that?!' Gien thought.
"Ehermm." Sakura stopped giggling and they look at the speaker.
"Gien-kun. What are you doing here?" Sakura said, standing up and Syaoran as well.
"Nothing. I just heard someone talking over here so I came to check up." Gien lied, smiling as Syaoran went to his old frowning face again glaring at Gien.
"Oh," that's all she can say.
"So want to have a drink?" Gien asks.
"Yeah, let's do that. I've been dying to have some water." Sakura said as she follows Gien to the kitchen but suddenly stop on her tracks just by the door and turned to Syaoran.
"Syaoran-kun, want to come?" Sakura said calling his attention.
"Y-yeah." Syaoran said following her on the door.
*=====*=====*
10 days later....4 pm
"Hey, today's the arrival of the soldiers, right?" Tomoyo asks as she give Sakura and Syaoran their drinks, they just finish the training. Today, Sakura almost knock Syaoran off.
"Yeah, ne Syaoran-kun. When will we leave?and Where will we stay?" Sakura said turning to Syaoran who stares at her but broke it when he heard Sakura talk to her.
"Maybe in at s-seven. We'll go to Desuria, I h-have my s-sister there." Syaoran said, stuttering. Tomoyo was surprise, the great Li Syaoran stutters?!She look at Sakura who didn't notice it and to Syaoran. She saw Li secretly glancing at her friend Sakura.
'Why is he...?" she thought.
"Syaoran-kun, you alright?" Sakura said, worried.
"Y-yeah, why do you ask?" Syaoran wonders.
"You're face is getting red." Sakura point at his face. Tomoyo actually giggles and Syaoran flinch.
"Will Meiling and the others come?" Sakura asks abruptly.
"Daidouji-san and Yamazaki will come of course. But Meiling, I don't know, she have her house here."
"Okay. How about Gien-kun?"
"I don't know, what if he'll know what you are?" Syaoran said.
"Yeah, he still doesn't know." Tomoyo said.
"Know what?" All of a sudden, Gien appeared on Sakura's back as Sakura flinch.
"G-Gien-kun, when did you came here?!" Sakura said, as the others nod in agreement.
"While you're talking about the travelling and stuffs. Why would you travel for?"
"Mind your own business." Syaoran said menacingly..
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura scolds and turned to Gien who's glaring at Syaoran.
"Don't mind him. We need to travel because of some important things." Sakura said.
"Can I come?" Gien asks,
He have a feeling when the soldiers see him here, they'll probably take him back and the soldiers might blame some people that they kidnap him. Besides, he want to be near Sakura.Sakura look over Tomoyo and Syaoran who's still glaring at Gien.
"Sure...I guess." Sakura said...
*=====*=====*
6:45 pm
"Are you ready now?" Syaoran asks them...It's time for them to leave, before the soldiers come and guard the gates.
"Sakura and Tomoyo's still in their room." Yamazaki said.
"Okay..." Syaoran said...
"Mou, Why do I have to be left out?!I'll come!I won't leave you when that girl is with you!" she means Sakura. Even if she's at least being nice to her. She still won't let her get away with her Syaoran. Syaoran sighed. He's having a funny feeling Meiling will do everything to come so...
"Okay fine. Meiling get ready. Yamazaki, please ask your girlfriend to look after Meiling's house. We'll meet you at the gate going Desuria..." Syaoran said with no energy as Yamazaki went out. 'Problems, problems...' he thought,
"Oh come on!Kero-chan!Go to the bag!" Sakura said to Kero..
"No way, the last time, I went to that thing. I almost died!" Kero replied...
"Oh for goodness sake!You're a magical beast!How can you die by just being in the bag?! Sakura said exasperately. Kero didn't answer as Tomoyo suddenly had a good Idea. She went out of their room and went to the kitchen holding their bag, One minute later she came back with the bag full of food...
"Ne, Kero-chan... Would you get in here or not?" Tomoyo said, Kero still don't know that the bag is full of food now. and said...
"I told you I won't!" He said and pointed the bag which is open so he can see the food inside. He almost drool over it but Sakura speaks...
"Well, okay, We'll leave you in this room, okay? We'll be seen by the guards if we don't leave now...bye." Sakura mocks as she and Tomoyo slowly walking out of the door...
"Wait, wait... I'll go in now!" Kero said with a pleading face. Sakura and Tomoyo just giggle at their intelligence, They let Kero in and once in a while they'll here a moan.
"So let's go?" Syaoran said and Sakura and the others nods as they went out. As they went out, Syaoran put out a cloak.
"What is that for?" Sakura asked. Syaoran put it to her as his answer. Sakura looked at him strangely.
"You need that so the soldiers won't notice your pendant." he whispers and she nods. As they meet up with Yamazaki, in the corner of their eye, they see the soldiers coming in. Gien walked faster and went beside Tomoyo so he can't be seen by the soldiers.
"What is it, Gien-kun?" Tomoyo asks when she saw a little fear on his eyes.
"Nothing..." he lied as they came to Yamazaki.
"Any problem with girlfriend..." Syaoran automatically ask..
"None at all. She immediately said yes."
"Then let's go before the soldiers guard this side of gate." Syaoran said and they left Sirca town....
*=====*=====*
11:00 pm, Sirca town....
No birds were flying on air, the streets are empty and the lights are gone. There's a search on going, searching for the pendant. The soldiers went houses after houses, hoping to find the pearl wings pendant but with no luck. At last, they come to Meiling's house, only one person is in there at the moment: Chiharu....
"We're going to search here..." The soldier said before coming in.
"Please do..." Chiharu said, with fright in her voice. The soldiers search her house for at least 30-45 minutes and find nothing. Before the soldiers leave, they ask Chiharu a few questions.
"Have you seen a person wearing a necklace?" Chiharu nods.
"Yes, I think"
"Has it have a pendant cling to it?" the soldiers asked again.
"Yes, I think I saw some." Chiharu said. The soldier thinks Chiharu have seen many so...
"In any of those pendants you've seen, is there something like a pearl like shape with a beautiful northern star inside?"
"Yes, I have!" Chiharu said as the soldiers exchange looks.
"Where did you seen it?"
"It's in my friend's necklace..." Chiharu said.
"And who's your friend?" the soldiers said... Chiharu became thoughtful, she remember her grandfather saying not to tell names to strangers and these soldiers are strangers...
"I... forgot her name..." Chiharu lied, thinking of Sakura. In soldiers mind, they heard her said, 'her'. it means it's a girl wearing one.
"Thank you for your information..." and the soldiers left her...
