Chapter Two
Hours before, in the Kinomoto Clan's home…
A young girl of sixteen sleeps peacefully in her room. Dreaming dreams of a mysterious young man with caramel brown eyes, who haunts her every dream. Suddenly her only, and elder, brother Touya disturbs her, breaking her current dream.
"Wake up kaijuu!"
Nineteen year old Touya Kinomoto, son of the Kinomoto Clan's leader, pulled his head back out his little sister's bedroom door in time to avoid being hit with a pillow. His younger, and only, sister hated to be awoken, but she hated being called a monster even worse.
Touya stuck his head in. "You missed, kaijuu."
"How many times do I have to tell you that I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" Sakura Kinomoto yelled, half asleep.
Touya risked putting his head back inside the room.
"At least I got you up, kaijuu!"
~~~~~~~~~
A few minutes before…
'The nerve of him sometimes!' Sakura thought as she was rudely awoken and threw a pillow in her brother's general direction.
She heard a satisfactory thump of the pillow hitting something. Then she heard her door open and almost felt her brother grin.
"You missed Kaijuu."
"How many times do I have to tell you that I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" Sakura yelled angrily before she leapt out of her bed.
"At least I got you up, Kaijuu!"
~~~~~~~~~
Present time…
Sakura turned to her brother and moaned.
"Ugh! You are so impossible!" Sakura yelled at her elder brother, "I'm going to take a shower and then go for a ride on White Lightning."
"What about breakfast kaijuu?"
Sakura glared at her brother and ignored the name.
"I'll take a rain check."
After her shower and change, Sakura climbed up on her mare, White Lightning, and rode out toward the edge of the town that served as the clan's home base. A while out there she smelled blood; the air was heavy with it like a recent bloodbath had taken place. Her horse shied and reared at the smell, but Sakura fought her with experience and calmed her down.
Sakura dismounted and led her horse through the brush. Then they came up on a mysterious young man lying, bleeding to death, on the ground. Sakura raced over to him and found him, barely alive, with a bloody dagger lying nearby an even bloodier hand.
"Hold on! I'll get you some help!"

A while earlier…
Syaoron's hour came and went swiftly as he talked to his family. He was soon transported to the Kinomoto Clan's lands. Syaoron reached into his robes slowly and somewhat reluctantly. He pulled out a dagger, stabbed himself as he had been told to do, and laid there to bleed, knowing no one would come for him. As he laid there, he slowly felt his life seeping away, then he heard hoof beats and the sound of a young woman talking to him, telling him to hold on and she'd get him help, before sweet darkness overtook him…
~~~~~~~~~
Present time…
Sakura stared in disbelief at the young boy.
'He has an aura and a green one at that!' she mentally yelled, 'Only people with magic, usually strong magic, have auras!'
She shook her head and then hauled the unconscious young boy onto her horse. She climbed on behind him and held him on as she urged White Lightning into a desperate run. When she saw her home's roof come into sight she let out a small breath of relief. She created quite a stir, riding up to the town with her, the young man, and her horse covered in blood.
Once she convinced the healers she was fine and that it was the young boy, she asked them to take care of him. Then, without even changing clothes, she went to give her no-so-white-anymore horse a bath. She was halfway done when her best friend, Tomoyo, and her brother came up on her. Her brother whirled her around and she watched her friend go pale.
"Sa-Sakura!" Tomoyo screamed, "You're-you're-"
"Covered in blood?" Sakura supplied.
"Yes!"
"What happened to you!?" Touya all but screamed at her.
"I found a young boy badly injured in the woods-Yes?" Sakura interrupted herself and turned to the messenger that had tapped her shoulder.
The messenger whispered something into her ear. Sakura nodded her understanding and turned back to her friend and her elder brother.
"Excuse me," Sakura requested, did not wait for an answer, and followed the young woman.
