*Dungeon*
a creak of the rusty metal door stirred the guard from his pleasant dream. He groaned as he looked up to see who it was that had barged into the dungeon this late at night. Instantly, his eyes widened and his face paled as he instantly bowed down and stuttered,
"Your Majesty!"
Syaoran's amber eyes glinted with annoyance at the guard's lack of responsibility and coldly replied,
"I didn't realize that I had hired pigs for guards."
The guard reddened in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry your highness! It won't happen ever again!"
Syaoran gave a cold smile and nodded his head as a signal for the guard to rise.
"Now. where is the girl that had been punished?"
the guard scurried up and said,
"the girl, she's here. Please follow me." The guard led Syaoran to a particular cell.
Inside was Sakura. Sakura's hands were tied in metal buckles that scraped her delicate skin. Her feet were tied with thick rope and her clothes were stained with streaks of her own blood. Her eyes were closed and a river of dry tears was seen on her cheeks. Her body was limp as she had fallen into an abyss of darkness.
Syaoran felt a slight feeling of pity as he looked at the sight, but then thought,
'who cares? It was her own fault anyways. Who told her to be so clumsy.'
"Take her down now." Syaoran said in a commanding and emotionless voice. The guard instantly obeyed and released Sakura from the bindings.
Syaoran carried Sakura's limp body as he left the dungeon.
He walked in a few minutes of silence before he felt the body he was holding stir. Sakura opened her eyes and blinked a few times to adjust her sight. She wasn't completely awake and definitely not thinking that well.
"Aki?? Is that you?" Sakura whispered in a small voice. "Are you here to save me?" Sakura's voice gave a hint of hope.
Syaoran looked down at Sakura, inwardly surprised. 'Aki? Who was Aki?' but hearing the small hint of hope in Sakura's voice, he couldn't help but dumbly reply,
"Yes Sakura, I'm here to save you."
At these words Sakura's green eyes welled with tears of joy and happily closed her eyes as she tilted her head up.
Syaoran looked at Sakura in his arms. His face came closer and closer until their lips finally met.
The kiss was so pure and simple, it was only a mere brush of the lips, but it gave a kind of warmth that filled Syaoran's entire body.
*In Sakura's Bedroom*
the morning rays of sunlight gently awakened Sakura from her sleep. Her entire body ached with pain but she managed to get up. She sighed in disappointment as she looked at her surroundings, her dream didn't come true.
It was strange. it seemed so real. She had dreamed that Aki had come to rescue her, but Aki somehow didn't seem like Aki.she couldn't remember anything. except for the kiss. She had never felt anything like it. Even in the real kisses that she and Aki shared. Sakura sighed again slightly happy and another side of her was disappointed as she blushed slightly.
"Sakura- Chan! You should be resting! Your wounds won't get better if you keep moving around." Tomoyo's worried voice interrupted her thoughts. Tomoyo then hurriedly made Sakura sit back down in bed and fed her her healing medicine.
Sakura smiled at Tomoyo's kindness.
"Thanks Tomoyo-chan."
"its no big deal. I mean that's what friends are for right? I can't believe the emperor was so cruel on you! Well at least you get to take off a few days. Well, I'll leave you to rest now. Don't get out of bed ok?!" Tomoyo said as she helped Sakura lie down and left the room.
Sakura lain in bed for two hours and could not rest any more, so she decided to get up and take a small walk around. Wincing at the pain of her open wounds, she slowly got up. She put on the simple silk white robes that servants wore and walked outside, unnoticed.
The sun was out and a few small clouds drifted in the sky. The temperature was hot but a light wind complemented it. A large lake was in the garden. Different colored water lilies were in full bloom as small goldfish swam in the lake. A long stone bridge stretched across it, with roofs on top providing some cool shade. Spring green bamboo and ancient trees surrounded parts of the lake. The scenery was beautiful.
Sakura took in the beautiful sight and already felt herself feel better. She walked across the bridge, gazing at the lake as she past. The bridge led her to a large bamboo forest. (think of the bamboo forest in crouching tiger hidden dragon! )
The bamboos stretched towards the sky, providing some shade from the sun. Golden spots of sunlight seeped through the thin green leaves, and landed on the ground, creating tunnels of light. Sakura sighed at the beauty of the sight, and began to feel tired as she walked deeper into the forest.
She sat down beside a large bamboo, where a tunnel of light seeped through. She cuddled by the tree and fell into a pleasant nap.
*Bamboo Forest*
'Dammit!' Syaoran thought as he swung his sword with annoyance. Politics were really getting to him... and other things. ' how am I going to solve the economic problem? It was impossible to please everyone! What do the advisors expect from me?'. Giving a yell in frustration, Syaoran sliced the air with force, the power of the air for his sword sliced through 3 trees in a row.
Sighing, Syaoran sat down and stabbed the sword into the ground. Sighing, he thought of last night and remembered the kiss. there was something different about it. it never happened when he had kissed anyone else. It was like a warmth that calmed and sent all his troubles away.
The thought slightly soothed him as he got up and continued his training.
*Sakura's POV*
Yawning, Sakura slowly got up and studied her surroundings; it looked so unfamiliar to her!
'oh no.' she looked around, trying to find something familiar that would indicate where she came from. The sun was beginning to set, streaks of sunlight were painted a red-orange.
'ahh!! Why do I always get myself into these kind of situations??' Sakura thought as she moved around panicked. But after moving around for an hour, she had returned to where she originally started. The sun had almost disappeared as the moon had replaced it.
'why me???' suddenly when Sakura had given up hope, she felt a presence near by, and used her best judgement to locate where the person was.
Sakura stepped on to a twig, breaking it into pieces. The next events happened so quickly that Sakura only heard a swoosh, and felt a hand lock around her neck.
