~* Author Notes *~
Hey everyone! Yeah, I'm done with my fourth chapter! Well, since I haven't much to say, I'm going to wish everyone good luck on their finals!
Disclaimer ~*~ I forgot to put the disclaimer up on chapter three so this will be the last time I'm going to say that the CCS characters do not belong to me.

To Blue-Star-118, the cockroach that Sakura saw was just an illusion that was cast, and the caterpillar in Syaoran's hands before Sakura had woken up. I kind of forgot to add that in. ^_^
~* Chapter 4 *~
Around noon we were packing up camp so we could head out to Harvest Village, a place I've never heard of before.
Most of the guys had left earlier to scout the area for any signs of demons and to hide any signs that told anyone or anything we were there.
After the joke and breakfast everyone seemed to be on edge. It was like they knew something that I didn't and probably should.
I help Melin, oh gosh, gather the dishes and we walked to a nearby river so we could wash them. I thought I heard something moving in the bushes behind us. Melin looked back at the bushes to, but turned back to the river.
I looked at Melin and gave her the are-you-crazy-look, but she only ignored me. "Hello? Melin? Don't you think we should check it out?" I whispered to her in case whatever it was behind the bush heard us.
"No, we're perfectly fine," she muttered. Yeah that doesn't make me feel any better. I bet something's going to come jumping out the bushes and devoir us for lunch and Melin can only say 'we're perfectly fine'.
"Well, if your not going to check it out I will,' I said grabbing a dagger from Melin's waist.
"Hey" Melin cried dropping the dish she was washing in the mud. She stumbled to her feet and ran up to me grabbing my arm.
In a way I was glad that she stopped me but then again, I was disappointed because I didn't wan to lose what little courage I had.
The bushes started moving again and a girl with long violet hair stepped out. Then a boy with blue/black hair came stumbling out behind her.
"Tomoyo!" Melin cried forgetting me.
"Melin!" Tomoyo ran up to Melin and gave her hug.
Not trying to sound rude, but who'd a thought that Melin would have a friend. She's a complete jerk!
"May I ask who you are, fair maiden?" the boy with blue/black hair asked me.
From being in shock with Melin actually having a friend, I completely forgot about the guy uh.Tomoyo, I think was her name, was with.
"Eriol." I heard Tomoyo's voice give him warning.
"What? I'm just trying to be nice," Eriol said defending himself innocent.
"Yeah sure you were," Tomoyo said rolling her eyes. Then she turned and smiled sweetly at me. "Melin aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Tomoyo asked her hinting.
"No, and she's not my friend," Melin said glaring at me as she crossed her arms.
Tomoyo rolled her eyes and bowed at me. "MY name is Tomoyo, and this is my boyfriend (Tina- she just had to point that out didn't she? Amber- Um, yeah! That's her man!)," she pointed to the blue/black haired boy. "Eriol."
I bowed to them in politeness. "My name is Sakura."
"There you two are!" WE turned toward Syaoran, who came out into the clearing. "Oh hey, welcome back," he said glancing at Tomoyo and Eriol.
I bit my lower lip from being nervous, an old habit that I thought I had gotten rid of for every time I felt a little afraid. I probably wouldn't be afraid of them but they're well trained warriors and I couldn't fight to save my soul.
"Rocky wants you two to hurry up. He wants to get out of here as quick as possible," Syaoran said pointing back towards camp.
"Don't worry, we'll be done in about five more min-" I started to say, but Syaoran cut me off.
"My fair Princess, you don't have to do that," Syaoran said signaling that we should head back to camp. Great, the last thing I need is for him to start acting so.formal.
Now, I realize that it's been one night and a day since I've been kidnapped and brought to God only knows forest, but there was no way I'm going to sit around like an idiot with nothing to do. Plus, I thought I told Syaoran that I do similar things like this at home for a living; what makes him think I'm going to stop now? (Ghetto Princess- I don't know about Sakura, but if I found out I didn't have to do chores anymore, I would take full advantage. Everyone- nods heads in agreement.)
"Syaoran, it's ok. Washing dishes isn't a big deal," I told him turning away.
It was then that I remembered Tomoyo and Eriol was there, but I tried not to acknowledge them to much. Even though I can feel their gazes on my back as I began washing and drying dishes.
"You're a P-Pr-" Eriol couldn't spit the word out. It was really starting to annoy me and the thick tension felt like it was going to crush me.
"A Princess?" Tomoyo finished for him.
"Yeah the Skyling Princess," Melin said angrily. I wasn't sure but I thought I heard her mutter, 'more like a tramp,' but it could have been my imagination.
"Done!" I said gathering the plates, trying to act as if nothing happened. I couldn't help but look up at everyone's faces; curiosity will kill me eventually.
Tomoyo and Eriol's expressions were full of disbelief and shock as thy watched my every move, Melin was still glaring daggers and long swords at me, and Syaoran had a blank expression on his face.
Feeling almost ridiculously nervous I walked past Syaoran back toward camp. Lucky for me though I had used a lot of bred crumbs to mark the way back to camp. (Ghetto Princess - what an idiot! Didn't she know that I could have used that bread!? Binyaile- yeah! Poor people like Ghetto Princess could have used that bread for food!)
Now I bet your all wondering, what about the birds eating the crumbs. (Cindy- or Ghetto Princess eating all the crumbs herself. Binyaile- that's probably true.Ghetto Princess- Hey! That's not nice! Anastasia- so. Ghetto Princess- just because I'm poor doesn't mean I would eat the crumbs off the floor! I have more dignity than that! Amber- you keep telling your self that dear. Pats Ghetto on the shoulder. Ghetto Princess- starts growling and everyone backs off.) Well, that's ok, because now where ever I see a bunch of birds eating I know I'm going off in the right direction! Am I brilliant or what?
"What's up with all these birds?" Tomoyo asked watching the birds as they scattered toward the sky when we approached, only for them to come back down again when we were gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We have been traveling all day and even through the canopy above us, I could feel the sun's cruel heat beating down. Everyone was on horses except me, Tomoyo, and Eriol. Syaoran had offered to let me ride his horse, but I refused and now I wish I hadn't.
We walked on further and the tress became so sense that everyone had dismounted so we could walk in a somewhat straight line.
"So you're the Skyling Princess," Tomoyo said from out of nowhere.
"I am." I said in what I know had to sound sad.
"You don't sound too happy about it," Tomoyo frowned. What is she a mind reader?
"Would you be happy to find out you was a princess?" I asked her.
"Well, yeah! I would love to have someone wait on me," Tomoyo said in a matter-of-fact.
"Why? It-" my voice trailed off as I felt the ground begin to shake gently underneath us. The horses started going crazy knocking some of the people down before running off in the direction we had come from.
"Damn!" I heard Rocky say trying to regain control over his horse.
"What's going on?" I asked to whoever was listening. Before I got a reply I saw a.
