Chapter 4
---In a grassy meadow--- ((Whoadie: by the way, this grass is like..TALL! And when I say tall I mean, T-A-L-L! Syaoran: like someone would need to be in te air to spot you, but even then it would be hard))
It had been exactly a day from when the fire incident took place. Many of the soldiers had retreated back to Nicholas, unable to fight against the mark of servitude on their bodies. They could only look back at Syaoran with regret and some admiration at the elven girl beside him, as their bodies forced them back to their master.
"Farewell Cap'n! Let's hope our paths never cross in the future..." Roiben clasped his Captain's hand firmly in his own. "For the bond on the spell that binds us to our lord may be...stronger the next time we meet...and it may blind us, so I wish you the best of health and hope you get as far away from the war that's about to break out."
Syaoran nodded in understanding. If he did meet Roiben in the future, he may be forced to kill him. Will, heart, and mind was strong when put to work but when those things are clouded, confusion results and chaos breaks out.
"Don't worry, I'll free both you and the others soon enough..." it's all he could say. He wasn't much of a motivational speaker, but he felt he needed to say something that would bring hope back into those hollow eyes. He was, afterall, their captain. "Farewell, better get moving your starting to pale."
Roiben was indeed paling, sweat poured from his body soaking through the tunic that layed under his armor. "Aye, farewell!" He turned around, running after the other soldiers who were way ahead.
Syaoran watched his men go with some envy. They COULD leave the elf master behind and never look back, but that would result a most gruesome death. They would be in so much pain from the addiction of the spell that it would kill them.
They longed for death, but they returned back to Nicholas in high hopes that one day they would see their families again. He on the other hand, had nothing. The thought of revenge kept him alive and that's all he needed. Plus, he would last a few more days away from the dark elf anyways, from his magic background.
//Death would be the easy way out...but it doesn't look to bad from all the things I've been through// He sat down holding his sword close with one leg tucked in and the other bent. ((Whoadie: You know how Kenshin sleeps? In that sitting position with the sword against his shoulder, with his head bent down? Yea think of that))
His head was bent down, as he thought about the recent events. He looked over at the sleeping beauty next to him. //We need a plan, my dark angel. I have a feeling you know more about what's going on than I do...//
~~~In Sakura's dream~~~
"Another premonition...I hate these!" She stood there in a dark void, waiting for whatever force that sent her these visions to send her the picture. //I've been getting alot of these lately, something awful is going to happen//
Suddenly, a scream sliced through the still darkness of the void. An unsettling grey fog shrouded the area. She turned her head in all directions trying to find out where the scream came from. //Come on...scream again if you want help!! Wait...what am I saying?! I don't need to help anyone but myself!//
She heard the scream again, her body whirled around pinpointing the location of the scream. She took a step forward but stopped herself //what am I doing??? Since when did I care of the well-being of others?//
She clenched her eyes shut as she argued with herself. //But it could be someone from my village! I need to know what happened to them!!//
She opened her eyes feeling someone clutching her shoulder. "Who are you?" She looked back out of the corner of her eye, strange how she didn't attack him when he touched her.
"I think you already know the answer to that.." The voice echoed around her, sending a shiver down her spine. His hand retreated.
"Alright smart guy, can you atleast tell me what's going on?" She turned to look at him but he was gone. //weird...//
She listened for the scream again. Nothing. She growled at herself. //I should have gone when I had the chance//
"So you DO have a heart, interesting. I was actually starting to believe that you didn't have one." He spoke, tucking some fallen strands behind her ear so she could hear him better.
Her ear twitched from his breath. //Too close for comfort.// She reached up, grabbing his hand. "Don't touch me."
He smirked, taking his hand back. "Touchy...well I suppose you want to know who's screaming, why, where..yadda yadda.." He trailed off showing no interest in the topic.
She rolled her eyes, getting into a more relaxed stance. She crossed her arms in an impatient way, "Well it WOULD help clear things up a bit, but I suppose that would be too easy for someone like you to just hand out."
She shot a dark glare at him. "There's always a catch, so what is it?"
The cloaked man chuckled. "What happened to the sweet, innocent Sakura I used to know?"
"Your stalling!! Now tell me!!" She took a step closer towards the figure, so that she peered into the dark shadow of the hood.
She could sense a frown on his face, "You really don't recognize me? Well I suppose you wouldn't with this get-up." He brought up a gloved hand, clutching the rim of his hood. Black lightning shot into his hand when he tried to pull down the hood.
Sakura jumped back from the sudden bolt. Her face remained expressionless but her heart was racing. //Why didn't he scream?// Her eyes tried to see past the darkness under the hood. //He's so familiar...//
He flexed his hand, letting out a short laugh. "Heh, annoying spell. " He turned his hood towards him. "But that's where you come in, squirt."
Her pupils grew smaller, making her orbs seem bigger. She stepped back hearing her nickname. "What did you say?" She couldn't hide the surprise in her voice.
"You mean you haven't figured it out yet? I'm scared to think of how you would do as a full fledge assassin. Your problem-solving skills suck!" Sarcasm dripped from his words as she waved a finger at her, silently saying 'tsk tsk.'
"Grrr! Not funny Tori!" She stormed back over to him, ready to pounce on his shadow ass. "Explain...please..." Her voice was remarkably calm, but what really got Tori was how she wouldn't look at him, hair covered her eyes as she stared at the ground. She always met his gaze, showing she didn't fear him or anything he said.
He sighed inwardly remembering she was still his little sister and even though she denied it, she could still feel pain and angst. "Alright alright, chin up squirt, you can't develop emotions now."
She kept her gaze to the floor, if she looked up she knew she would burst. Years of training to control one's emotions would come flooding out and she would die before it happened. She kept her voice low and even. "Where are the others..."
He tilted his head at her feeling her mixed feelings building. "Do you remember from when you were a little girl, the place Master Yue took you on your very first hunt?"
She closed her eyes trying to recall that memory. "I don't remember...why can't you just tell me??"
He shook his head even though she couldn't see it. "I can't exactly give a straight answer under this spell, the guy has a sense of humor..."
She let out a frustrated sigh. "Guess that covers about all my questions, you won't be able to answer them and it's only a matter of time before I wake up."
He gripped her shoulders, shaking her fiercely. "Wake up! This isn't something you can procrastinate in, you have to figure this out NOW!"
She ran her hand up his arm, pressing her thumb into the indention of where the elbow bent. She pressed in harder, making him let go. She dropped down to all fours, kicking her legs up so she went to a handstand. She wrappped her legs around Tori's head, pulling him down. "Family or not, do NOT lay a hand on me!"
Tori fell forward placing his hands firmly on her ankles as he fell. He landed on his back with a thump, giving Sakura a satisfied smile. He smirked, "You would have lost, ya know..."
"I'm not the one laying on my back!" Her eyes shot daggers at him.
"hmmmm, not yet..." With that he jabbed his thumb and pointer finger into both of her legs in certain areas.
"I can't move!!" She struggled to get up but couldn't move her legs.
"Well duh, that pressure point paralyzes you for atleast 30 minutes. The funny thing is you'll be awake before those 30 minutes are up, and everything that happens here effects you in the real world." He gave out a small laugh, a brother who was enjoying teasing his sister kindof laugh. "Now say goodbye!" He tossed her up in the air.
Her eyes widened as she panicked. //Master Yue never taught us this!!!// She ran her hands over her leg trying to find some sort of point that would release her from the bond.
//Master Yue only teaches you the basics, you have to study the rest// he added into her mind sternly.
//Now you tell me// She turned her body so that she was going down head first. She used her hands as a cushion, bending at the elbows to soak up the fall. Pain shot through her arms as her muscles screamed at her. She rolled forward, landing on her back.
Tori peered down at his sister, "Told you, you would be on your back." ((Whoadie: Don't even take that the wrong way, that's nasty!)) "Now that your paralyzed, think...long and hard of that place..." His voice lost the humor and was now very serious.
She closed her eyes trying to recall her first hunt.
***FLASHBACK*** ((Whoadie: I love doing that! It's like....FLASHBACK! Dun dun daaa))
"Don't wander too far, we're in human territory and you know they fear us. We don't want to cause a sudden war, now do we?" Master Yue gazed at his pupils with hollow eyes.
Snickering could be heard from the back of his group. "They can't hurt us, it's a win-win situation. Let's exterminate the humans now when they least expect it that way we don't have to worry about any 'war'. "
Glass spikes flew at Nicholas, pinning him up against a tree. The tree stuff his mouth leaves to muffle the sounds of Nicholas's angry cries. Master Yue walked slowly towards him. Students moved quickly to get out of their teachers way.
At first, the two just stared at each other. The silence was intense for everybody, it dragged on for what seemed like forever. Then Master Yue slapped Nicholas across the face, no expression played on his face. "You obviously have much to learn Yukio, let's hope you don't live up to your codename..." (( Yukio in japanese means "Get's what he wants, God will nourish" for those who didn't know))
"We have made peace with the humans and only hunt out those who threaten that peace. That is who we are, we were given this duty by the Cala'quessir!" [ Profession: High Elf] His eyes narrowed down at Yukio, "Are you threatening that peace?"
Yukio glared back but thought better of it, he spit out some of the leaves so he could speak. He lowered his gaze down to the forest floor. "No...forgive my rude outburst it won't happen again."
Master Yue stared down at Nicholas's bent head, he turned walking away from him. "No it won't, get back in line." He waved his hand in a half circle, the glass spikes flashed before disappearing. ((Whoadie: by the way...even though it's Sakura's flashback she can't see or hear what the person's thinking! I just added their thinking to help you better understand the character's profile))
Nicholas dropped down to the floor, he was on all fours coughing up the rest of the leaves. //I'll just show you next time...// He stood up, dusting himself off. A small smirk on his lips as he looked at Master Yue's back. He stole a look at Sakura who had been studying her prey. //Even you, will have to listen.//
Sakura looked down at her client from the bushes. She watched the mortal man converse with his friends happily, unaware that he would never speak to them again. She felt someone's eyes on her back but didn't turn. It was always the same person and quite frankly...it gave her the creeps. That damn Algaryulnaer [Insult: "Bloodsucker"] ((Whoadie: well he IS obsessed with killing..it seemed to fit!)) seemed to stalk her ever since she began her training.
Master Yue crouched down next to Sakura. "Have you gathered enough information about your victim?"
Sakura nodded, watching the man enter his home. She looked up at the sky, the sun was starting to set. She turned to her master. "Just give the command..."
"Remember to be quick, not a sound, no evidence of you nor the body, and be clean." He gave the signal for the other students to gather around him. "You know what to do, one scream and the whole mission is screwed, got it?" The students nodded. "Report back to the village when your done." He stood, slinking back into the shadows to watch their progress during the mission.
The sun had set and the moon was just rising above the treetops. She looked up at the sky waiting for the large cloud to cover the bright moonlight. They had planned for this mission for the longest time and had waited till the weather acted in their favor.
Sakura was the first to creep out of the bushes. //Here I come...// The cloud blocked all the light in the sky, making the area pitch black. Her eyes seemed to glow in the darkness as she neared the quiet, sleeping village.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
She blinked a few times then looked at the silent Tori. "Well that didn't help!"
Tori was smiling even though she couldn't see it. "I think it did...hmm time for you to wake up squirt." He raised both of his hands, water rose from the floor. It slowly rose higher at each passing minute.
Tori stood there silently as the water rose around them. "Sorry, but it's the only painless way out for me..."
She didn't want to know why so she kept quiet. A sudden thought struck her. "What about me!!!! I can't exactly swim right now!" She looked down at the water, it reached her stomach and was quickly rising.
Tori shrugged, "Your not exactly dead so it shouldn't hurt you...you'll think your drowning but will wake up all safe and sound." The water rose higher, licking Sakura's chin as it threatened her life.
Her eyes widened at his words but her exclamation was drowned out by the water rushing into her mouth. She closed it as the water rose above her head. She stared ahead, looking at the slowly disappearing Tori. Pieces of him seem to just vanish a little bit at a time. She shook her head trying to find some mistake in what he said. //Maybe I just misunderstood his words, he might have meant something else...//
Tori's voice echoed into her mind //I think you know just what I meant, accepting it is a different matter for you though...// He trailed off as the rest of him disappeared.
She clenched her eyes shut screaming into the water, but only bubbles came out.

Tori's voice echoed into her mind //I think you know just what I meant, accepting it is a different matter for you though...// He trailed off as the rest of him disappeared.
She clenched her eyes shut screaming into the water, but only bubbles came out.
