The Rescue And The Mysterious Samurai

Tomoyo and Eriol searched for months and months trying to find Sakura and still there was no word of her...Even still they never gave up...Months turned into years when suddenly they had finally found word that there was a young woman living in the Tetsuigi Village.

"Eriol... Could it be Sakura, it has been three years since..." Tomoyo said as they traveled to the Village.

"It maybe...don't loose hope Tomoyo we will find her... If it will cost us our lives we will find Saku..." Eriol said holding her close. The clouds began to darken and the rain started to pour.

Sakura awoke once again hearing raindrops dripping into a small pot in the darkness that surrounded her. Where am I? The question kept going in her mind as she kept looking around in the dark, she rubbed her head and tried to remember what happened. It has been so long I have seen the light, she thought. She was fed and clothed but she had never saw light except the man with a torch who always brought her food. She remembered the fire and the evil that had caused the fire and soon a vision of a puddle of blood as it became dark again. She felt the dried blood on her wrists remembering the pain of not telling the secret. She felt the tears come down her face and she cried herself to sleep.

Later she awoke once more seeing a small torch and the same man was watching her as she slowly looked up and the man laughed as he went closer to her. He was a short man with old ragged clothes and had a large scar across his left neck as the torch glared against his dark skin by the mud.

"Hey ye' little lass awake are ye?' he said in his deep accented voice. Sakura tried to stand up but her arm was swelling with pain. She groaned as he forcefully pulled her out of the small cell. ' The General would like to see ye' again and he hopes that ye' would cooperate..." They soon approached a small bar and passed by the roars of laughter that had slowly stopped by their presence. There the men watched her with an intense glare and gave mischievous look. While walking to the bar, one of the men had stopped drinking his large mug of beer and walked up to the man who Sakura was following and smiled at her. He patted the man's shoulder as he shouted.

"SHE BECAME A PRETTY PRINCESS, EH MEN?!" he had shouted to the men who had laughed in a response as he tried to touch her cheek, Sakura stepped back away from his action. The man who she was supposed to follow had said to the man, "Doppo ye' better back off this one, she's yer general's..."

"Aww... Shuddup...Akio she's to beautiful to be wasted on that idiot Eizo...' Doppo had replied to Akio as he grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him, she could smell the nasty smell of beer in his breath. ' I have waited too long for this! I can teach her how to become a real lady..."

"LET GO OF ME!" she shouted as she tried to strangle away from his grasp. The men laughed as Doppo used all his force to stop her from struggling. Of balanced, they both fell as Doppo made his advance as he pinned her on the ground. The men whistled and hooted as he slowly bent down to kiss Sakura who was desperately struggling. Using her technique she kicked him hard in the groin as he yelped in pain and roars of laughter went around as they watched their comrade crying in pain. Terrified, Sakura quickly stood up and began to run as Doppo grabbed her leg and she fell to the ground once again as she tried to move away but it was to late.

"Hey Doppo, I think she gotten more control than you did..." A voice shouted as the men laughed, while Doppo with his furious eyes glared at the pale, terrified Sakura.

"YOU LITTLE WHORE! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" he shouted furiously as Sakura tried to push him away as her mind screamed GRANDFATHER PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly closing her eyes she heard glass shattering and a deep voice from a distance.

"LET HER GO..." said the dark mysterious man who stood in front of her. He looked as young as her but she couldn't tell by his features which were hidden within the straw hat.

"AND WHO ARE YOU TO BOSS ME AROUND BOY?" Doppo said glaring at him, still holding Sakura tightly.

"It seems she does not like you and what you are trying to do to her...I could see why she would...Let her go peacefully or else I will have to kill you..." The stranger had said. Everyone whispered as they wondered what Doppo would do next after the horrible threat. Doppo stood up as Sakura stood up quickly and hid in the corner.

"You boy don't know who you are talking to I see...Well I guess I have to teach you not to cross lines with me!!!" as then he took out a secret pistol that had been hiding within his cloak. Then he began firing at the stranger that had dodged the bullets with a great amount of speed. This samurai moved as fast as a shadow and sliced Doppo across the neck knocking him unconscious in one strike as the blood began to flow. The samurai walked passed the bleeding man and went to Sakura. Sakura who was as white as a ghost and terrified by what she had witnessed looked into the dark amber eyes that reflected with sadness and her pain.

"Are you alright?" he whispered softly as he outstretched his hand to her. Sakura who was unable to answer still stayed in the corner and felt tears blur her vision.

"Come, you are safe now...we shall leave this place..." he said to her. Suddenly feeling the ground shake within the walls the ceiling began to crumble.

"A SURPRISE ATTACK!!!!" the man shouted as everyone ran.

Sakura looked at the man who covered her from getting hurt by the impact. Everyone screamed as it went dark and suddenly felt a strong barrier from him. She closed her eyes until there was silence and the shaking had stopped. The mysterious stranger weakly moved away from her and whispered, "We...must...go... before anyone awakes." Sakura nodded noticing that he not only held a barrier for her but for everyone as well. They stood up and began to walk away and Sakura knew the Goddess had finally answer her wish.

They fled to the forest as the rain began to pour slowly, soon turning into a light drizzle. The stranger and Sakura walked for hours and slowly knowing of the men that stood watch within the forest. Sakura felt weakened as she walked behind him, moving slower and slower. The smell of Toxic smell was too strong for her even though with her powers she could keep going but it was too late as darkness came around her, she fainted. The samurai turned back and quickly caught her as she fell to the ground, remembering the wolf's toxic smell.

"She isn't immune to the smell," he said picking the unconscious girl up and continued the journey through the Misty woods....
