"Tomoyo, do you know?" She whispered so that the gaurds wouldn't hear.
Tomoyo took a deep breath and whispered to her aunt. She explained about Sakura dressing up for her first secret piano lesson. "A certain brown haired boy, sewpt her up in his arms and jumped out of the window. And help from a boy in blue hair with glasses had assisted him."
"It's..."
"Yes, aunt, Eriol and Syaoran..." >> ~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^
The stallion's pace became slower and more steady. Syaoran looked down at the angel he had before him.
'Syaoran,you've really gotten yourself into trouble. You see that girl down there, your holding in you arms?' Syaoran's consience was lecturing him. "Yes..." He answered sub-consiously.
'Do you want her to get hurt?' Syaoran shook his head. 'Then, don't fall in love with her...' Syaoran was shocked. How could not loving her, create less danger for her?
'If you love her, you have enough enemies as it is, you'll forget her. Her father will come looking for her. He will kill you with out a moments hesitation. Keep your feelings away, toss them, it's better off to just keep this strictly buisiness.' Syaoran's consience finished.
'How can I keep this, strictly buisiness, so to speak?' He questioned himself.
'You will put up a ransom. They don't know the real you, do they? Giving you the advantage.'
'Advantage, how?' Syaoran thought he was going crazy.
'They don't know where you are, you never told them your little lie. You also came up unexpectedly to try out for the piano. You cover your face, get the money, and that's that...'
"And forget about Sakura..." He han't noticed he'd said that out loud. The moon hung brightly in the sky. Soon it would be morning and soon Sakura would wake up. Not being home in her castle, but in the arms of the pianist, or of whom she thought he was.
Sakura's POV
'Strange, I think i'm moving? But, aren't I at home? Sleeping in my bed?'
End of POV
Sakura's emerald eyes shot open. "HUH?"
Syaoran looked down at her. "Uh, oh..."
"Where am I?! Who are you!?" His face was masked by the shadows, Sakura began to panic.
"Let go of me!" She tried to jerk herself free from this, kidnapper. Syaoran was confused.
"She felt one of her hands, then her arm become free from whoever's grasp and slapped him.
"OWWW!!!" Syaoran held his red cheek.
Sakura didn't even think to see who it was. She jumped off the horse, stuck her tounge out and began running.
After a while of silently whining Syaoran looked up. "Sakura?"
Sakura saw the large trees, the faces they made at her. "This is all a dream Sakura, wake up!" She looked up on top of one of the trees and saw large, yellow eyes glaring at her. "A dream!!!"
"Crap, where'd she go?!" Syaoran grabbed the reins tight and began riding around frantically. "Sakura..."
Sakura saw those eyes, then heard galloping behind her. "Hoe..." She thought she heard a high pitched scream. Something came over her, what if this place is haunted by...
"GHOSTS!!!" Sakura dashed to somewhere, she was totally clueless to where she was headed. Syaoran saw her running and hit the horse to make it speed up. "Hah!"
The horses powerful legs struck the ground with loud thuds. Sakura heard this and turned around. "AHHH!!!" She bent down quickly and took off her shoes. It was hard to run in high heels.
"Help me!!! Somone..." Sakura yelped. She saw the man and horse behind her. "Uh oh..." Without a moments hesitation she ran into thicker bush. "Can't follow me here!"
Syaoran saw Sakura run into a thicker part of the forest. "Not there...I can't use my horse to get her." He jumped off the horse gracefully and began to run after her.
Sakura held her stomach. She was puffing hard from running from, what ever was chasing her. She went over to a tree and sat under it. "Touya, dadddy, mommy...Tomoyo...?" She felt lonely and heard a racket from behind her. "..."
"Oww! Crap! Thorns!!!" Syaoran had walked through a thorny bush, and now there were twigs and mud covering his body.
Sakura hesitantly looked behind her. A large figure appeared, it was muddy, tall, made a scary girrgling nose, with horns sticking out of the side of it's head!
"Monster!!!" Sakura was still holding a shoe and threw it.
"Oww..." Syaoran managed to girrgle out. He put his hands to his face and wiped the mud from his face. He then saw a shoe whack him. "Aeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaa!!!! Syaoran fell back.
Sakura looked at the monster, then made a mad dash from it. "Go away..."
Syaoran rubbed his forehead. "A shoe...? SAKURA!!!" Syaoran yelled.
Sakura stopped dead in her tracks. "Syaoran? SYAORAN HELP, THERE'S SOMETHING AFTER ME!!!"
Syaoran thought there was really something after her and started going her way. Sakura heard the girrling noise again. She moved her hair from her eyes and saw it.
Sakura picked up the front of her dress and started running over rocks from what ever was chasing her. Syaoran saw this and heard her yell "Monster..." Syaoran turned around and saw nothing. "Oh no... She thinks i'm the beast..." He ran after her top speed.
The rocks were hruting her feet, and she felt blood flow from them. She managed to get to grass and then saw something, it jumped up and took her down. "Hoe...What the?! KIDNAPPER!!!"
"Yelling isn't going to do you any good..." Syaoran said trying to catch his breath.
"Syaoran???"
"One and only." He looked at her and noticed something. Sakura's eyes still shone even in the dark. Sakura looked up at him. 'Dam...He's sexy...' She only dared to think to herself.
(A/N IF ONLY THEY KNEW WHAT POSITION THEY WERE IN!!!)
Syaoran felt the damp grass on his hands. Sakura felt the water seep through her clothes alittle bit from the back. Syaoran, without even knowing what he was doing, came nearer to her. Sakura noticed this closness and felt his hot breath against her neck. Syaoran put his hand under her chin and examined her.
"Are you ok?"
"Syaoran, i'm fine, your the one who's not ok." She took a twig out of Syaoran's hair. "Oww..."
"You're not ok...Why are you running in bare feet?!"
"Because those hells were killing me!"
Syaoran noticed her wincing alot and looked at her arm, it was bleeding slightly and her feet were cut. "You're one tuff cookie..." He picked her up in his arms, it was still early. Sakura felt safe and let herself dose off...

The luxurious carrige shook and jumped all the time. It was making it hard for Fujitaka to fall asleep. "Arrgghh!!" Stupid carriage..." He mumbled. 'I wonder how Sakura is doing. Nadeshiko better not of told her where I was going to Larenway Kingdom. But, knowing my wife, she probably told Touya and her that I was on a buisiness trip.' He exclaimed in his mind. Moving the ricj red curtains sheilding the window, Fujitaka gazed at the full moon. "Sakara, forgive me, but you need a prince sooner or later." 'She probably doesn't even know.'
The carrige jumped again and Fujitaka had hit his head on the ceiling of the carrige. "Dammit! Drive more careful!" He screamed to the driver while rubbing his head.
~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~
"Oh, my dear Sakura!" Nadeshiko pulled back her long hair and began pacing back and forth. "Who know's what he'll do to her! Ahh!" She pulled her hair in annoyance and held back her fearful tears.
"Auntie." Tomoyo ran over to her aunt. "Sakura wull be fine. I asure you." She pleaded remorsly holding her hands.
"Tomoyo, how do you know! They almost killed some of the gaurds! Sakura's so delicate and gentle! Those theives! They robbed me of my hospitality and my beloved daughter!" She clenched her fists tightly, feeling her nails dig into her skin painfully.
Tomoyo bit her lip. "I just know." Tomoyo murmured quietly yet confident. "Haven't you noticed how the pianist is so gentle?" Tomoyo added questioningly.
"GENTLE? No Tomoyo... I HAVE noticed!" She yelled sarcastingly throwing her hands up into the air.
"His music Auntie. Is it filled with hatred when he plays?"
"What do-"
"Auntie, answer this to me. What is his music? How does he play it?" Tomoyo retorted geting to something.
Nadeshiko let out a heavy sigh. She sat down on a chair. "He plays it sadly..."
"Bingo." Tomoyo smiled. "Now, get some sleep Auntie. It's 6:00 in the morning."
"My dear, what about you? Aren't you tired?" A confused Nadeshiko questioned.
"I love the sunrise." As Nadeshiko smiled weakly, more calm now, she walked off. Tomoyo had lied to her aunt. She didn't want to see the sunrise, it was her dreams that haunted her. Every night, taunting her, making her believe Sakura was sadened. Ever since the old pianist had left dreams of Sakura filled her mind. "Syaoran, you better heep her safe..."
~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~
Sakura felt a tickeling on the bottoms of her feet. She shivered slightly from the cold liquid. Then a stinging sensation came to her.
"What did she walk over..." He whispered to himself.
Sakura sat up quickly and winced. "Oww..." Syaoran smiled at her. "Hey, you assumed I was a 'kidnapper.'"
"Shut up." She hit him on the shoulder playfully. "You scared the heck out of me!" She bent over nearer to the water and splashed some on him. He moved back quickly. "Hey! I..." He looked at her. "Never mind..." He couldn't yell at her, it seemed so impossible.
"Ummm... Syaoran, are you going to take me back to my kingdom?" She asked a bit childishly.
He thought about this for a moment. "Sure Sakura, but not now." He didn't even think how he would get her back.
"Good! And why did you take me any way???"
"Because...Why so many questions!?" He got up splashed some more water and walked over to the horse.
"Many questions? I only asked a few hundred." She smiled. Syaoran walked the stallion over to the stream and let it have a well earned drink.
"Sakura, you know you can't walk right?"
"I can walk! Look!" She struggled to her feet and kept them on an angle. A blade of grass brushed against the cuts. "Hoe... Syaoran help! I can't move..." She was afraid to move her feet, the pain was excrutiating.
"You cease to amaze me sometimes..." He walked over to her while blushing madly and held her in his arms.
"So tell me...How does a 'normal' pianist, like you have such srtong arms?" She asked with great admiration.
"Ummm... I work out. You saw me with my sword right?" He placed her ontop of the horses back.
"O yeah...When you almost killed me..." She stuck her toung out at him.
"Hey! I didn't almost kill you! You walked in on me!"
"My mom wanted you to play for us..." Suddenly sadness struck her.
"What's wrong?"
"I miss my mom...That's all...I wonder what my brother's doing." Syaoran gulped hard. 'That Touya guy. I'm not afraid of him...Nah.'
"Syaoran, what if he does come looking?" Sakura was unsure to ask him.
"Let him come." Was all Syaoran said to her. A hard frown came on his face.
"Why are you frowning?"
"Because, my face is like that." He answered her coldly.
Sakura eyed him akwardly. "GRRR..."
"What was that?" Syaoran had his hand close to his pocket.
"When are we going to eat?"
~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~
"Where is Sakura!" Touya had been looking for her frantically around the castle.
"She'll be home soon..." Nadeshiko tried to act calm. He was such an over protective brother.
"And she went...?" Touya grew more aggitated.
"Touya, honey could you get me that book over there?" Nadeshiko was trying to stall time. Even thgough she knew Touya would figure it out, one way or another.
"Here." While tapping on the floor impatiently. Nadeshiko looked through the book as if she was interested.
"Hmmm..." She began humming.
Normally this would calm a person down, but it was a different story for Touya. "MOTHER!!!" Touya suddenly bursted out with full anger. She faced him calmly.
"She'll be home soon..." Touya's face became red. "DAH! EVIL!!! Plain evil... If you won't tell me where she is, i'll find her on my own." He stormed out of the library.
~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~^!^~
"EAT?! Sakura, we have no time!"
"Oh, come on. You don't expect me to walk how ever far with out food!"
"Sakura...You're siting on the horse..."
"EXACTLY!" Sakura yelled frantically.
"Wait i'm-"
"The HORSE needs to eat!" She smiled at him. Syaoran closed his eyes and pointed playfully at Sakura.
"By horse, you mean you right?"
"Why I...ARGH!"
"What? Is it something I said?" He smiled sarcastingly.
Sakura whacked him accross the head. He didn't flinch.
"Was THAT suppossed to hurt!?" He sneered at her.
"Ohohhohoho! I hear a challenge! Well Syaoran, you have no idea what your getting yourself into." She glared back deadly at Syaoran.
"Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider..." He mocked her by pulling down some of the skin under his left eye, and sticking out his tongue.
'You have no idea.' Sakura thought personally. 'I NEVER lose...'
"Guys go to Venus to get more pe-"
"I get the point Kinomoto." He finally acted more mature.
"I just wanted to point out..."
"Get up." He eyed her.
"I can't..." She mumbled quietly.
"WHAT!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" He yelled pointing to his ear.
"I can't get up..." She whispered.
"WHAT?!"
"I CAN'T GET UP!!!" Sakura fumed steam out of her ears.
Syaoran walked over to the horse and brang it over to Sakura. "OK, let me pick you-"
"Nah ah! I can get up, thank you very much!" She pulled down the bottom of the dress and her legs shook. 'This is harder then I thought...'
"Well? I don't have all day you know..." Smiling at Sakura. 'Geez! How stubborn can you get?'
A confused expression rose up on Sakura's face. The frustration disappeared and she smiled at Syaoran. "Help..." She squeeked.
He hoisted her up onto the horse and held the reins. "You know, i'm willing to take that challenge." Sakura exclaimed.
"What challenge?"
"The one you just made..."
"I never made a challenge."
"Yes you did."
"When?"
"Now!"
"Really?"
"Syaoran!!!"
"Ja...?"
"Gaki..." She whispered.
"What did you call me?!" He raored infuriated by her comment.
"You heard me..."
"Ja... Who's the one with the directions to civilization here?"
"God..." She answered playfully.
"You know Kinomoto, this is going to be a long day."
"What you mean?"
"You know what's funny."
"What?"
"Nothing..."
"There's something..." Sakura questioned.
"Well...If I tell you, you won't ask me for it?"
"Ummm... Maybe."
"I'll take that as a yes. Or should I? I auno Kini you tell me."
"Kini?"
"Well...Kinomoto is too long and so, I call you Kini. Like you called me..."
"Gaki?" She answered to him childlishly.
"Yeah...that word..."
"Oh! Syaoran, I didn't forget about two things."
"What?"
"I want my food, because i'm suppossably the horse. And second, we have the challenge right here, right now!"
"I'll think about it."
"You're mean..." Sakura whined.
"HOW!? I'm letting YOU ride the horse after all..."
"I'm hungry... Onegai...CAN WE EAT SOMETHING?!" She pleaded.
"I'll think aobut it..."
"You think about everything..."
"It's better than not thinking at all you know..."
"Syaoran shut up."
"Yes your majesty." He bent down infront of her. The two rode into the rising sun STILL arguing...
