Takeshi looked at me.
"How long we staying here Xiao Lang?" he asked.
The rain was pitter-pattering on the rooftop of the hut and we had built extra tents elsewhere where the crew were bunking. Sakura, Takeshi, Eriol and I were the only ones staying with the sorcerer.
"How long? How long?" Sakura piped up, imitating Takeshi.
She was beginning to act more normal, but her mind was still trapped in a younger self.
"Until the storm blows through. Which will probably be in a couple days." I answered lazily.
I was very bored; there was nothing to do in the hut.
The rain stopped.
"Or not." I said as I went out of the hut.
"Not a good idea sir." The sorcerer said behind me, "this is a rift in the storm. Like the eye of a hurricane. You shouldn't leave the island now. Just go take a walk now. Stretch some limbs. The storm will be back soon."
I sighed. Stuck again.
I called the men out to take a walking break.
Then I started walking towards the opening of the woods. It felt peaceful there. I wanted to go there again.
As I walked I thought about my home.
And most of all, I thought of Shiori.
"Shiori..." I whispered.
"Shiori?"
I jumped at the voice and turned around to face Sakura, who at the moment looked like a faithful puppy.
"UH." I said.
"Shiori?" she asked again, and I knew she wanted to know who she was.
"She's, uh, a good friend of mine." I stammered, "I just miss her, that's all."
Sakura looked at me with a weird look on her face that was so brief, I wasn't sure if that was real or a figment of my imagination.
"Ok." She said as she walked passed me and entered the little flower realm.
She bent forward and picked another armful of flowers.
Then she walked towards me.
I thought she was going to hand them to me again, so I stretched me arms out.
She ignored them and looked at her feet asking me, "can we go back now?"
I gave her a surprised look.
She was acting very strange.
"Well...alright." I said reluctantly, looking at the opening, before reentering to woods, heading towards the huts.
She walked in front of me and I observed her.
There was a root in front jutting out from a pine tree, but Sakura failed to notice it.
"Watch out Sa-"
Too late.
Sakura tripped and when she sat back up, her knee was bleeding but she didn't seem to notice it.
"Sakura, you've got to be more careful next time." I said as I brushed her knee lightly.
"Broken." She said as she stared at the flowers in her hand.
"What?" I said as I summoned the healing magic.
She pointed at a ripped flower in her bouquet.
"Broken, confused. Just like you." She said.
Then she shook her head and stood up.
"Let's go back." She said as she walked back again.
"Something's up with her." I muttered as I followed her, completely baffled.
"There you guys are!" Takeshi said cheerfully from the hut.
Sakura ran forward and handed him the flowers.
"For you." She said cutely as he took them with a smile and breathed deeply.
"Very nice." He said as he turned his head toward me.
"C'mon inside, the storm is coming back." He said while putting an arm around Sakura, leading her back into the shelter.
I sighed as I followed them back in, still confused of what Sakura has said to me moments ago.
"The storm has stopped." Sakura said happily as the pitter-patter of raindrops had stopped falling on the leaking rooftop.
"Good thing too." I grumbled," I swear there was no difference staying indoors or outdoors. You're a sorcerer, couldn't you have done something the roof?"
"I have given up on that profession." He said winking at Sakura and she giggled.
We all tromped out of the hut and I saw my men all reappearing from the other shelters.
"We must get home quickly." I yelled to my men as we all started towards the ship, "word will not get to the Japanese quickly and if we bump into any of them, they wouldn't know that the war has stopped."
We boarded the ship.
"Thank you sir!" I yelled to the sorcerer as we started drifting away from the island, "I'm sorry, I never asked for you name. What is it?"
He looked at me with a crooked smile.
"Its best if you don't know!" he yelled and before I could ask why, we were out of hearing range.
Sakura, who was standing next to me waving, has a secretive smile on her face.
"Do you know his name?" I said confused.
"Yes." She said still smiling.
"But he never told you what it was!" I said even more confused.
"He didn't need to." She said then walked away.
I awoke.
It was late at night.
And I heard crying.
I quickly ran from my room towards Sakura's, sure it was her that was whimpering.
"Sakura?" I asked softly as I opened to door slowly.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I strode across the room, coming towards her.
"Nightmare." She murmured.
"Come here." I said opening my arms to her.
She immediately threw herself lightly into my arms and I held her until she stopped trembling.
"I see war." She said simply.
"War? You see it?" I asked baffled.
"Yes, soon, very soon." She said making motions with her hands, "Lots of noise...and lots of light!"
"Umm... I think it was just a nightmare." I said loosening my arms but she quickly grabbed them back and put them around her. She tilted her head upward and smiled at me.
