A/N: Depression? Ackk! Here too… *SIGH*
Chapter 5: Change
Sakura sighed and looked into those amber eyes. "Wolf… don't leave me!" she yelled desperately.
"I'm sorry… I'll have to, my princess." The boy said sadly, his amber eyes glowing with pain. They met the emerald-green orbs, and fell deep into her heart.
"Please, Syaoran, if you are going, take me with you!" The auburn-haired girl cried, her pink dress torn to shreds. "You saved me, now it's my turn to save you." She smiled, and took the boy's hands.
"You've changed, Sakura, you've changed a lot since we met before." The boy whispered softly.
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" the girl asked. Everything around them was whitish blank. Time stopped, and the whole world evolved around them.
"It's always a good thing…" the boy said gently, and leaned forward to meet the girl's lips—
"EWW!!!" Sakura yelled, suddenly jumping up from her dream, and scanned across the forest. Syaoran's shadow glimmered onto the ground as he sat by the campfire, mixing things. She made sure that her dream didn't come true, and laid back down to her "bed" which was only a few straws and Syaoran's jacket.
"Have I fallen asleep again? I've just have the grossest dream in history!" Sakura murmured. Syaoran stopped what he's doing, and stayed silent. "I thought you were grossed out by the fact that I am Wolf." Syaoran said sarcastically.
"I WAS! But then this is grosser. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!" she barked, and Syaoran almost jumped into the campfire by her yell.
"I'm here because I need you to come with me, to the Li Castle." Syaoran said simply.
"Who are you, really?!" Sakura asked. "You're not just a knight, are you?" she said slyly.
"More than you think, filth." Syaoran said mindlessly while Sakura blew her face redder and redder, ready to explode. "You know, a princess should be beautiful, clever, elegant, graceful, and calm. You're none of those." Syaoran said sarcastically, a playful smirk appearing on his face.
"LI LITTLE WOLF!!!!!!" Sakura yelled as she jumped up from her "bed" and charged toward Syaoran. "That won't help you either," Syaoran said as he stood up, blocking Sakura's punch.
"You're pretty good at blocking," Sakura commented sarcastically.
"Yeah, better than you'll ever be." Syaoran said as he took Sakura off the ground and carried her to her "bed". Sakura struggled, and punched Syaoran's face.
"You're very heavy for a princess, you know, if you don't stop the struggling and punching, I bet you'd make a very fine servant lady at our castle." Syaoran said calmly as he laid Sakura back to bed. "Smell ya later, PRINCESS!" he said as he made a face, then back to his campfire.
"LI WOLF! YOU'D BETTER BE CAREFUL WITH ME!" Sakura yelled, but Syaoran gave her a look that shut her up. "Please, princess, I want to serve you, and by that, I mean, chill out!" Syaoran said impatiently.
"Whatever."
"See what I mean? CHILL OUT!"
"SHUT UP!!!"
"Man, you've got some issues to sort out!"
*PUNCH!*
"Yeah, well, when are you going to stop being so naïve?!"
"I AM NOT NAÏVE!"
"See? ISSUES."
"Shut. Up."
"Issues!"
*DOUBLE PUNCH*
"FINE, you snob!"
*TRIPLE PUNCH*
*raspberry blow*
*snores*
Syaoran sighed as he looked over at Sakura who was constantly snoring. Why did I just invite Sakura over to my castle? He asked himself. Oh well. Better sleep now. Tomorrow we're headed for the castle and I'm going to be tired fighting with Kinomoto every 5 seconds. Syaoran yearned as he lay on the ground with no straws and no jackets. He glanced over at Sakura one last time before he went to sleep.
Her soft, childish face glimmered before the campfire, and a curve on her mouth showed that she's having a sweet dream. He smiled, something that he rarely do, but he felt warm around her, he felt that being with her made his worries go away. It always did. Even 12 years ago…
"Li Xiaolang! I want you to get out of the castle right now!" A Chinese woman yelled at a chestnut-haired boy, who kicked the ground, and ran off.
I hate my mother! The boy thought painfully. I'm six years old and I can take care of myself! Why the hell do I have to go outside while my mom and my sisters fight over where they should attack on the Kinomotos? Just because their queen died does give us the privilege to attack. The young prince thought angrily. He's always promoted peace, and that just happened to be something impossible.
The boy walked over to the lake, and saw a girl crying. She had auburn hair and a pair of keen emerald eyes. "Sakura Kinomoto." The words escaped from his lips. He walked over curiously as if someone is sharing his sadness and crept behind her.
Syaoran smiled at his memory of Sakura as a child, and shut his eyelids tightly. He was falling for things, deeper and deeper into the heart. Cold, breezed air rushed through the forest as a single nightingale sang its saddest song
**
"GET UP!!" a voice called into Syaoran's head as he opened his eyelids tiredly.
"What?!" Syaoran said annoyed.
"COME ON! I want to go get some food." Sakura said impatiently.
"GO! What's stopping you?" Syaoran said as he got up from the ground.
"Well, I just wanted to ask what you want to get, that's all. If you don't want anything, I'll just get berries for myself." Sakura said sternly.
"Just go. If you can, get me some strawberries." Syaoran said, rubbing his forehead. He didn't feel good, in fact, he felt sick. Very sick.
Sakura looked at him concernedly, and disappeared into the forest. That Little Wolf is sure strange. Oh well… strawberries… hmm. I wonder if they're still in the season.
Sakura jumped around, observing nature's goods. She picked a few mushrooms into her bag, a few blue and black berries, then some fresh fruits from a tree. She also grabbed some apples and dumped them in her bag.
A few feet away, a bush shattered fearfully. As Sakura narrowed her eyes, the bush shattered again. Sakura backed up, and found, standing before her, a bear.
A huge, furry, brown bear.
