"You....," she managed to croak out before gasping for breath again.

"Relax, I won't hurt you."

"Y-You won't? B-But you're---"

"Syaoran! Where are you?"

"I'm here Eriol! What is it?"

He could feel Eriol's aura getting closer and closer until his blue wavy hair appeared in the exceeding crowd.

"Syaoran what have you been doing?! You were supposed to burn the west part of the city! Instead you—, "Eriol stopped as he saw a girl in Syaoran's arms.

Her face was as pale as any peach would be and her long, wavy hair dangled as she gave him a soft menacing glare with her hypnotic violet eyes. She sighed heavily and looked away.

"Uh, ya I can explain."

"No time! We gotta get her to somewhere safe. She's gonna die like this," Eriol said as he swept her from Syaoran's arms.

"But you—" Syaoran looked after him in disbelief. One minute his best friend was burning the city full of innocent villagers, and the other he's saving a villager. 'Probably just because of....'

"HEY YOU!"

Syaoran turned around abruptly and to his knowing, found a great surprise.

~*~*~

"SO YOU LET HER GO?!"

"I-I-I....but she threatened me sir, I---"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WERE GONNA DO!"

The soldier was petrified, frightened, terrified, fearful, and any other word that meant scared.

"Touya, calm down, take a deep breath, I'm sure Sakura will be just fine," Fujitaka said calmly, always trying to make things better.

"But father, she could get KILLED! She's a young girl about sixteen and there are actually Li soldiers trying to kill any possible victims and if you haven't noticed, Sakura is a possible victim!" Touya cried.

Touya looked at his father's soft expression and decided not to yell anymore. He wouldn't get very far anyway. But he could only hope that his sister was safe and sound. Eventually, he walked down the sinister corridor to the captain's chambers, but only before shooting the petrified soldier another icy glance.

~*~*~

"WHERES MY FRIEND?!"

"What are you talking about?"

Syaoran stood in front of a girl about his age. She was wearing a one-piece dress that went up to her knees. Her auburn hair was let loose and her face expressed familiar anger.

"OH! You mean that girl with violet eyes?"

Sakura flushed with anger as she revealed her sword. "WHERE IS SHE?! I'M WARNING YOU! I'M ARMED!"

"Relax! Gee, you Kinomotos and your tempers." Sakura made a don't-you-play- with-me look. "Its ok, your 'friend' is safe. My friend, Eriol, took her to a nearby cave over there," Syaoran said as he pointed in the direction Eriol ran to.

Sakura looked at him with detestation and opened her mouth to say something when she heard a scream from the direction Eriol went. "If your 'friend' laid a filthy hand on her, I'll be very glad to let you two suffer!"

Without another word, Sakura ran to the scream as fast as her legs would carry her. Syaoran, trailing behind her, was picking up a strangely strong aura from the girl, who was panting hard and had Syaoran thinking she would faint any second.

~*~*~

` When the two got there, Tomoyo was sound asleep and Eriol was cradling her in his arms.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Sakura yelled unexpectedly at Eriol who jumped out of his wits.

"Hey I was just---"

"Ya you were just WHAT?! I know you Li people. Get away from my best friend or I'll have to take you by force! I heard her scream. Now scram!"

"What a lecture....,"Syaoran muttered under his breath.

"I heard that!"

"S-S-She, well, she didn't scream....," Eriol admitted.

"Oh course she screamed! Who else could've---"

Her eyes darted to the sullen blue haired man who was looking down with humiliation. He blushed significantly and Sakura burst out laughing. Eriol looked up at her smiling face. She actually found it funny!

Sakura let out a big *sigh* and stopped laughing. "Anyone wanna explain?"Sakura asked earnestly mostly focusing on Syaoran.

~Sakura's POV~

I can't believe I'm acting this way! I should be holding my sword up and holding it by their throats. I swore to avenge them! For her....

~Normal POV~

"Well, umm, let's see....Well, it all started with my mother telling me about the plan."

"What plan?"

"I'm telling you!"

~Flashback~

"Meeting is in session. Please take your seats and we'll begin shortly," Yelan said confidently.

Everyone sat down, including all the head captains and some important soldiers.

"So what was the sudden meeting for Li-san?"

"Well, the elders and I have reached a decision," she said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"A decision?" Syaoran asked, uncertain of what it was.

"A decision. We'll be destroying the Kinomotos once and for all."

Murmurs of disagreement and agreement spread.

"But, why?!" a head captain chimed in, "It would waste out time, and we would loose soldiers."

"Well, I'm willing to risk that. I propose we do this because you may not know it, but the Kinomotos are a strong army. If they would like to dominate us, they would probably proceed to their destination. The thing is, they don't know they're stronger than most of us are and so if we take them by surprise, I'm sure we'll conquer them," Yelan said briskly.

Many nodded their heads and many just gave a loud and heavy sigh.

"Yamazaki-san will give you any further details on how the plan will go through. The attack will start tomorrow morning sun rise."

~End Flashback~

"Oh...." Sakura would have clenched her fists by now, but she hadn't and the thought scared her. It scared her that anyhow; she didn't hate these two soldiers.

Before she could speak another word, Syaoran smirked and held out his sword and pointed it to her.
