*I can't believe I have another chapter done and ready to post! For some
reason the internet has been giving everyone at my home fits, so since I
wasn't able to surf the net last night, I decided to see where my
inspiration led me. This is what came out of my head, I hope you all like
it!*
Charmed
Sakura's eyes shot open. She looked around and noticed she was inside a dry cave, a small fire at her feet. Her cloak was hanging from a rock nearby. Sakura made a move to retrieve the cloth when she felt something holding her down. She turned around slightly to see Syaoran sleeping soundly behind her, his arm draped protectively around her waist. Smiling slightly, Sakura wriggled free of his grasp and took the now dry cloak off the rock and laid back down with Syaoran, who replaced his arm in his sleep. Sakura wrapped the cloak around her and Syaoran, then nestled back into his chest and fell back to sleep.
The wind whistled through the trees in the forest, howling like a wounded animal. Rain continued to fall in torrents, and thunder sounded at varying intervals. A bright bolt of lightning awoke Syaoran, who noticed Sakura had moved, and that the cloak was around them both.
'She must have woken while I slept.' Syaoran assumed, wrapping his other arm around the small girl and shifting so they were lying on the ground instead of sitting up. He felt Sakura shift, and soon her forehead was touching Syaoran's gently. Syaoran sighed and stroked Sakura's hair without a word. He had never felt this way before. He'd always been so cold, so empty. This girl made him feel warm and happy.
"You're thinking about something." Syaoran jumped as Sakura, who still had her eyes closed, began to speak.
"How did you know I was awake? Are you some kind of witch?" Syaoran asked, not moving from his position. Sakura's eyes opened, and she looked at Syaoran intently, her emerald eyes sleepy.
"Let's call it a gift. What were you thinking about, Syaoran?" Sakura asked curiously, staring the amber eyed boy in the eyes.
"I was thinking about how I feel right now with you in my arms." Syaoran whispered, watching Sakura smile a tiny smile in return.
"And how does my protector feel about having me in his arms?" Sakura asked, a slight rose painting her cheek. Syaoran didn't waste time on words as he gently pressed his lips against Sakura's in a tender kiss.
"Does that answer the lady's question?" Syaoran replied after he pulled away. He was delighted to see Sakura's face brighten and a wide grin cross her pretty face.
"It certainly does. Syaoran, may I ask you where you are going, and what you have to fulfill for your quest?" Sakura asked, resting her head against Syaoran's chest. Syaoran sighed heavily, remembering the evil he had to destroy.
"I do not know where I am to go, only that I am to fulfill my destiny soon." Syaoran replied, his eyes darkening.
"I see. Syaoran, may I go with you? Just for a short time until I find my destination?" Sakura questioned. Syaoran sat up, bringing Sakura up with him. He looked into her green eyes, losing himself inside them.
"It's too dangerous for you to accompany me. I do however find myself wanting to see you again after my conquest. Perhaps you would stay at my father's castle until I return?" Syaoran requested. Sakura thought about Syaoran's offer. She was finding herself very attracted to Syaoran, and wanted to see him again as well. But she had a mission to accomplish.
'I don't even know where to go. . . staying with Syaoran's father might help me concentrate more on my task at hand.' Sakura thought to herself. Syaoran watched her, hoping she would consent to his proposal and stay in the castle. After he killed the Charmed one, she would make a wonderful queen for his empire.
"I will go with you, Syaoran." Sakura answered finally, making the young man smile. He leaned down and placed his lips on Sakura's again, kissing her full. Sakura leaned into the kiss, putting her arms around Syaoran's neck and running her hands through his messy brown hair. Syaoran snaked an arm around Sakura's waist and slowly laid her back against the soft ground of the cave, the other hand behind her head.
Denitar paced around the main reception room of his castle, fuming furiously. Syaoran hadn't returned in over a day and a half, and he hadn't heard a word from him in any way.
'I know that wench is in the town. Syaoran had to have found her by now and killed her. . . ' Denitar thought, clenching and releasing his fist in an anxious fashion.
"Could the boy be turning against me? He does have an amazing amount of talent, and rightfully so. He is, after all, a Li. They are a force to be reckoned with themselves, though not as powerful as the Charmed line. It is of no concern to me, I am much more powerful than Syaoran. He wouldn't be able to stop me if he tried." Denitar reasoned, watching out the large windows.
He spied approaching the castle two figures clothed in black. He recognized Syaoran immediately, but the other figure was cloaked in a black robe.
'That insolent brat has brought home a vagrant! All the same, whoever this person he has brought here must be of some importance. . . ' Denitar thought, anger welling inside his soul. The doors to the castle opened, and Syaoran walked in with the hooded mystery person.
"Father, I have brought someone who seeks refuge until I return from my quest." Syaoran said formally, taking off his black hat and bowing courteously.
"Of course, my son." Denitar said graciously, feigning happiness to fool his son.
'It matters not, I will have this one's life along with Syaoran's soon enough.' Denitar thought, smiling evilly. Sakura removed her hood, letting her auburn locks flow over her shoulders. Denitar looked at the girl and noticed her emerald eyes. He gasped in shock, but hid it from the two young people.
"This is Sakura." Syaoran said, smiling and taking Sakura's hand in his. He looked to his father for approval and saw a smile on the old man's face.
"Sakura. . . " Denitar said, his mind cackling sinisterly.
