Once they had gotten Sakura some clothes, along with some other things, they returned to the site.

"Sakura, just how much has changed since your time?"

"Quite a bit. The village, of course. Used to, it was much larger. There used to be people working hard, and my palace used to sit upon the northeastern hillside."

He could tell she was growing sad. "I know things have changed, but everything does that." he said, putting an arm around her to comfort her. She nodded, and rested her head on his shoulder. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she started to drift off. Syaoran smiled. They had both had a busy day. He gently lay her on the bed where he slept the night before, and lightly wrapping the blanket around her.

He just sat in a chair across from her, watching her sleep. He was too much in thought to be tired, so he spent the rest of the night, watching her sleep.

The next morning, Sakura woke to see Syaoran, looking at her, but the expression on his face worried her.

"Syaoran, are you okay?" she asked, after rubbing her eyes, attempting to imrprove her blurred vision.

He nodded.

"Haven't you been to sleep?" she asked, now sitting up straight.

He shook his head. "I wasn't tired, so I just watched you sleep all night."

"Oh...." she said as she began to blush.

"Are you hungery?" he asked, getting a slight nod from Sakura. "Then let's go."

"Go where?"

"Since you're hungery, we are going back into town to eat, and then get some supplies from the market." he said, carefully grasping her hand. By the look in his amber pools, she was still worried that something wasn't right.

"Syaoran, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Hmm? Why do you think something's wrong?" he asked, looking confusedly at her.

"First, you just seem...well, distant, and the look in your eyes-it's very different." she said, walking along side him.

"............"

"Is there something wrong?" she asked, tightening her grip on his hand.

"I've just been thinking, that's all." he said, letting go of her hand and walking ahead.

She quickly caught up. "About what, may I ask?"

"Just about all of the things I want to do in life, my family, and others who I love." he said, feeling her grasp at his hand again. 'Like I'm beginning to love you.' he thought, but he'd dare not speak those words-not yet atleast.
