Back to the strange pirates and the North Tower, the men grumbled knowing very well they were in great trouble for loosing the girl. Hearing a carriage from a distance, they formed a line and watched as their Lord and his subjects appeared from the window. One by one each of the subjects slowly came out and gave an evil glare to the line of men awaiting their punishment. The Lord came out last and signaled his subjects to investigate and wait for his command.
"Well where is she?" the deep, cold voice of the Lord asked Doppo, who was shaking in fear by the large blade he saw within his cape.
"Sh-she i-is d-dead, m-my L-Lord..." Doppo said, stumbling out the words.
The Lord shook his head as then he took out his blade and placed it against his neck, moving as fast as a demon. Everyone gasped as they watched his movement and was behind Doppo, holding the blade.
"DO YOU TAKE ME FOR AN IDIOT DOPPO?!' the Lord shouted as then he sliced Doppo's neck and pirate's watched as their friend fall to the ground. 'This is all a warning to you pirates...you lie to me and you die...so now since this has happened I'll send someone who can keep you all in order..."
"But my Lord..." The captain replied but was silenced by the flash of the Lord's sword against the moonlight.
"You listen to me captain, if you want the money, you better do as I say or else you'll end up like your friend over there...' The dark Lord said, his eyes shinning red as the blood found in bloodshed battles at the captain. 'Chiyo, you shall be assigned to order these idiots to find her... It seems just watching them isn't going to help them... " He said in a furious tone as he snapped his fingers and slowly walked into the carriage, followed by his remaining subjects.
"Yes, My Lord..." Chiyo said as she bowed and walked to the men who stood waiting for orders.
Chiyo watched as the carriage disappeared into the night, this was her last chance to prove that she was worthy of being his possible lover in her master's eyes and she would not let anything stop her from her goal. She looked at the men and sighed.
"Let us go... we aren't to waste time to locate the girl..." Chiyo said as then a man shouted, "I'm very sorry me' Lady but I don't take orders from ye'..." Chiyo walked to the man that had the courage to talk to her in such a manner. She looked at the man who grinned at her sheepishly and replied to him, "Is that so?" then before he could reply, she took out her small handgun and shot him on his thigh. Laughing from hearing his shout of pain she walked away and whistled as a dark horse came galloping, she shouted to the men "Let's go!!"
Syaoran looked at the stars as he sat on top of the hill, he still couldn't figure out why Daisetsu's words wouldn't get out of his mind. He also didn't understand what happened at the Masquerade Ball. Many questions ran through his head like was this the same girl he had kissed that night? Or was this girl someone he knew before? Why was he even thinking of this girl? Syaoran sighed as he gazed at the stars and with his final thought he dozed off to sleep. Maybe she could help him...just maybe.
Sakura ran as fast as she could, knowing that they after her jewel and each time it was a different place and they would still find her and they would still capture her. Many Shadows appeared and one by one, they began to screech surrounding her. She felt it was getting harder to breathe and then she closed her eyes and wished to wake up, wished she wasn't here. Suddenly Sakura awoke and still found herself in some weird platform, her wrists in pain by the chains around them. She looked up and saw two shadows watching her. She called out for help but the shadows didn't move a single step. Then suddenly a light appeared and it was a Samurai who was running to her, calling out her name...Sakura Sakura...
Sakura awoke seeing that she was back in the hut and it appeared night was still here. Drenched in sweat, she placed on her old kimono and headed outside telling Megumi she was going to wash up. Looking at the small river. Looking around hoping that no one saw her, she happily she ran to the river where she began to clean herself and to think of the chores and penalties she had to finish today...As she finished her washing, she looked curiously at the path that lead to the sound of the ocean. Passing the small hill she didn't recognize Syaoran who was watching her from a distance and he decided to follow her to the path to the ocean. Soon she followed the small path to a tower that was high up from the waves below it. Not realizing till she heard footsteps behind her, she looked behind her and saw nothing but she did feel a presence...She sighed and continued her walking. Finding a place to sit she felt the soft breeze of the salty air and the sounds of the birds and waves coming back and forth.
"You can stop spying on me you know." she said out loud, when Syaoran appeared and looked at her with a denying look.
"What are you talking about? Anyways what are you doing here?" he said to her as Sakura shook her head.
"Would you talk a little bit quieter? You are disturbing the village..." She asked him, looking away.
"All-right Kinomoto...let's get one thing straight...first of all I was not spying on you, second, no one can tell me what to do or if I am disturbing the village...and also you didn't answer my question..." Syaoran said to her as he came closer.
"I should be asking you the same question..." Sakura said in an irritating voice. Sakura began to wonder if the was the same rescuer that had saved her or if he was just acting that way to get recommendation in his little village. Sakura began to ponder, not hearing the words Mr. Samurai person mumbled under his breath.
"If Master Ogai or Megumi caught you sitting here daydreaming of whatever you girls think about you would have gotten a penalty...but if it were not for me you would have gotten more work to do today..." Syaoran said and gave her a look that made Sakura even more irritated. But before she got to reply, a man screamed, "HORSE DEMON ON THE LOOSE! HORSE DEMON!!" the man yelled.
"Oh no... but there are no such things as a Horse demon rampaging a village during daylight... " Sakura said as she looked at Syaoran, his eyes became darker and he looked at Sakura and she realized it was up to them. Syaoran cast a barrier spell around the village as Sakura advance behind to the area near the horse. Standing still, Sakura gasped and watched the dark magnificent horse trying to break through the barrier. The horse was bleeding after all the whippings that it had received and was growing weaker by its loss of blood. Soon noticing the power within Sakura it froze her with its gaze and charged at her. Close to screaming Syaoran jumps in front of Sakura and with great skill he jumped on the back and changed the horse's direction before almost reaching Sakura. Sakura watch in amazement as Syaoran kept talking to horse till it began to slow down and slowly sat down closing its eyes. Sakura ran over to Syaoran as she looked at him with concern.
"Are you alright?" Sakura asked him as he got off the horse.
"I'm fine...we should get this horse to the barn...ouch..." he looked at his right sleeve a stain of blood appeared and Sakura looked at him.
"You got hurt...is it severe?" she asked him.
"No... I'm alright its just a cut...come help me bring this horse to the barn..." as then the both carried the horse onto a wagon and pulled it slowly away from the main area of the town. Syaoran asked Sakura to open the door as he picked up the horse by himself and carried it inside, Sakura watch in confusion and amazement once again.
"Umm...do you need help with that?" she asked him as he walked to the open stable.
Syaoran laughed as placed the horse gently down and replied to Sakura... "I carry horses everyday..."
"Oh...' Sakura looked at the horse, which was burning up with a fever. She quickly ran inside to get herbs for the fever and when she returned, Syaoran placed his hands on the horse and a light glow appeared and it healed the horse instantly.
"Now you just need a lot of rest, and then we can find out more about you later..." he whispered, suddenly aware of Sakura's presence, he looked at her with a warning in his eyes. He remembered his past when he had healed a bird's wing, people screamed out witchcraft or an evil curse cause there were magic powers but healing powers were not with magic. Knowing that she would run away screaming and shouting it out loud that he was with this curse. He was surprised that she sighed and shook her head and said to him...
"You forgot to remove the spell in the village...so I did it for you...' She said smiling at him and placing down some cloth and herbs and continued, 'Pull up your sleeve, I have to clean it up before it gets infected..." She said. She noticed the pounding of her heartbeat as she began to clean the small cut. She wouldn't dare look at his Amber eyes or else she was lost within the depths of them.
After cleaning up the cut she told him, "I'll be right back..." When she returned, she handed him a small cup and filled it with some kind of tea that he had never tasted before. Before he drank, he looked at her with a confused look and wondered why didn't she run away from him when she saw him heal the horse. Then when they heard the horse had awoken; Sakura heard it whining and trying to get up it fell back into the hay. Sakura stood up before Syaoran could and ran to the horse that was struggling to get up. Giving the horse a small amount of healing herbs the horse relaxed and began to sleep once again. Syaoran sighed and sat down as Sakura walked back to their sitting area in the barn. The sunlight appeared through the small holes of the barn and she smiled as she looked at Syaoran who was looking at the horse. He soon looked away and their gazes held a large electrifying connection between them once again. Breaking the trance, Syaoran asked her, "What are you looking at?" Sakura looked away and she felt her cheeks become warmer and she replied in a small voice, "Nothing..."
Syaoran sighed and replied to her, "We should get going...or else we would end up with penalties yesterday because of you..."
"Wait... wait...don't you dare blame this on me Samurai...if you had told me sooner that the tanks were switched then we wouldn't have gotten in trouble...but you tell me right after your break!!" Sakura eyed him in her death glare, recalling of what happened.
"No I didn't!! I told you the night before yesterday that you just had to clean them not switch them!" Syaoran stated.
"I was reading and you were mumbling out the words! How could've I understood that?!" Sakura said as they began to argue some more as they walked into the hut...Sakura sighed and thought to herself, great now MR.SAMURAI PERSON and I are back where we had started...and now I was beginning to think that he could be a good person...shesh was I wrong...but there was something I couldn't forget...it felt like I saw a part of his past...I just don't know....
