Chapter 5-Head Over Feet
Yue and company were woken up quite brutally early in the morning by Tokio and Sakuya bouncing around on their beds and screaming "Ohayou Gozaimasu! Today's a new day!"
Poor Satou, who honestly didn't like being woken from his precious sleep was quite distraught at the intrusion and threw anything he could find and the two boys, hopping around like bunnies.
Yue sort of groaned and got out of bed while Shizukana quietly folded his sheets into a perfect square and went to get some water.

Most of the village was already up and busy. People collected water from the taps in the ground; little old men were chasing clucking chickens but without success and Yue stepped out to breathe in the fresh air. He walked around the grounds for a while before having some breakfast. Even though he wasn't entirely sure of what it was, it was good and all the boys gobbled it down, hungry for seconds.

Tokio was the leader of the little band of Japanese boys so he went for a meeting with the Governor to talk over the plans of them protecting the village.

Yue was quite happily walking in some wheat fields, admiring the countryside scene and thinking about Touya and Japan. He skipped a little and hummed, it felt like such a nice day. A gently breeze was blowing and the clouds were all sorts of shapes. Yue stopped when he heard a noise. Someone was out here with him. Yue was immediately on his guard as he slowly trod through the great stalks of wheat following the sound of the person.

When he finally got to where the sound appeared to be coming from, he pulled back some stalks and saw a boy with a stick, practising all sorts of martial arts, the boy was wearing nothing but some cream coloured trousers, the boy's face was calm and sweat trickled down onto the ground. His chestnut hair was drenched but the boy didn't show any sign that he was going to stop at any time.

Half way through a kicking stance, he paused and turned his head towards Yue. Yue jumped and tried to run but fell over backwards, landing on his back and banging his head. The boy was getting closer but Yue was in too much pain to care, he sat up and rubbed his head, moaning and whining like a baby. The boy's hand reached out and Yue stared up.

There were those amazing eyes he had seen yesterday, but this time, instead of an icy glare, they were full of concern as Yue took Syaoran's hand and got up, still rubbing his head.

"Are you okay?" Syaoran's voice was calm and sort of husky, it made Yue feel all floaty as he stared into Syaoran's eyes.

"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked again, his voice had a hint of impatience in it and Yue immediately snapped out of his thoughts and turned a light red.

"Um.....I'm fine, fine. Thank you." Then came that awkward silence where nobody knows what to say and all you can hear is your heat beating.

"A girl shouldn't be walking out here alone." Syaoran suddenly said, making Yue blink.

"W....what?" Did Syaoran see through her disguise? What would he say? Yue immediately realised his hair was down and his bindings weren't on. Baka! What a stupid thing to do!

"You're a little dippy aren't you?" Syaoran's voice was quite cold, like he didn't know how to act in front of people.

"Hey! Just because I'm a girl! I can walk wherever I wanna!" She gave Syaoran a light shove and he started to chuckle.

"Hey calm down girl! Geez, I didn't know you were on your monthly's!" He put his hands up in a sort of surrender but that remark was like rubbing salt in a wound. A whole year of being a man and being equal, she wasn't going to give all that up because of some idiot with a stick!

"What the hell do you know? You.....you Gaki!" She shoved him hard and he fell over. He was clearly enjoying this but that last remark confused him.

"What the hell's a gaki?" He stood up and clasped his hands hard on Sakura's shoulder, making her go even redder.

"Like you care gaki!" She wriggled out of his grasp and swept her foot under his leg, making him fall over again.

"Whoa! Someone is definitely on their monthly's!" He was finding this so amusing! Sakura's blood started to boil, she jumped on Syaoran and tried to claw him. He resisted her easily, laughing the whole time. He lightly threw her off and pinned her raging body to the ground.

"My my, we're a little crazy aren't we? Who are you anyway? You're Japanese but I didn't see you yesterday."
Sakura hitched her legs up and wrapped them around the front of Syaoran and pulled him down, so she was back on top.

"My name is no concern of yours!" She spat at him, anger fuelling her. Syaoran managed to wriggle his hand free and brought it up to Sakura's face, brushing it along her cheek. Sakura immediately froze, staring at the boy who dares insult her, she felt herself weakening as his fingers brushed the hair out of her eyes. Sakura leaned down and Syaoran sat up, they were getting closer and their eyes slowly started to close.
"YUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? YYUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEE KUUUUUUUUUUN???!!!!"

Satou bounded straight onto the scene with his ever-so-perfect timing. He took one look at the scene, a girl on top of a boy, their faces so close they could almost of been kissing.

Sakura flew off Syaoran, who was as red as a tomato and they both stood up.
"Sakura chan!" Was all Satou could say. Syaoran gave Sakura a sideways glance, almost like he was saying 'I know your name now!'

"Uhh....uhhh......Satou kun......." Sakura squeaked as she stared at the floor.

Satou shifted around before suddenly embracing Sakura.

"My dear little sister! How nice of you to come visit me! All the way out here!"

Sakura just stood there, wide-eyed and a little shocked. Syaoran quietly composed himself, a little embarrassed that he was about to kiss the sister of a Samurai. He coughed and swung his hands behind his back.

"I'll ummm..I'll be going now, Sakura, nice meeting you." Syaoran dashed off into the wheat, leaving Satou and Sakura alone.
They parted and Satou bonked Sakura on the head with his palm.

"You muppet!" He exclaimed. "You fool! Baka! Why did you have to go running off! I was trying to find you to tell you to get changed as you're still a girl!"
Sakura dropped her head and apologised. That didn't stop Satou though, once he was making a speech, he was making a speech and no one could stop him.
"That was very dangerous! We could both get in trouble! Maybe even killed! Sakura, you're gonna have to be more careful ne?" He had calmed down abit and his face was now concerned as he gently put his hands on Sakura's shoulders. She nodded and apologised again.
"Yeah well, you owe me!" He hugged her and they walked back to the village.
I have nothing to say except I'm now on an Inu Yasha addiction! Kamisama! Don't you just lurrrrrv Inu kun's attitude?! He's all like 'I don't care! Feh!' But he does really! Awwwwww.
