Terika looked worriedly at Sakura's awakening. "Kinomoto-san, daijoubu ka?"
"Don't worry I'm fine." Sakura replied groggily, sitting up quickly. "What happened?"
"All I remember was this tall amber eyed man carrying you out on his shoulder, unconscious from the forest we trained in." Terika stated looking inquisitive.
Sakura's memories flooded back to when she was staring into his eyes and to when she passed out. "Where is everyone?" She asked immediately.
"Everyone's outside, they gathered back when they were tired of training…" The curly redhead replied, smiling slightly. Terika got up and went outside of the tent to get them. About a few minutes of mumbling could be heard outside Terika entered back in with Daisuke, Kitara and Hideiko.
"How was the training out here?" Sakura asked with an emotionless face, regaining her composure at last.
"Hideiko and I had fun sparring in the mountains. Lost of clashing…I think we got things accomplished." The dirty blonde said smiling. Hideiko nodded in agreement, also glad that Kinomoto-san was back to normal.
"Terika helped me out with the wind control on my hypnotizing." The flipped black haired girl said exchanging glances with Terika.
Sakura nodded at the last moment, in approval. "Okay the moment you've all been waiting for, you guys can have the rest of the time….relaxing." Her emerald orbs flashed emotionless still while saying the last part. Not even giving the slightest hint that she was joyful.
The rest of the group's eyes widened in joy, "Arigato Kinomoto-san," Could be heard throughout the forest. They all raced out of the tent and into the ocean before them having fun. For they never usually had a chance like this to relax…
"I wonder if I've gotten soft or something…?" Sakura asked herself, her eyes hard. She tensed as she a made a way to get up on her sprained ankle, to her amazement it didn't hurt as much as before! Reluctantly this meant the amber-eyed man had helped her out with some kind of healing spell. 'Great….that means I must say thank you…" She thought, her head, faced down.
After exiting the tent Sakura limped towards the ocean and collapsed onto the beach. Searching for the amber-eyed man she sighed, giving up when she couldn't see him. 'I guess I don't have to say it… for now.' She thought.
After everyone was done with their fun they stopped fooling around because they had gotten Sakura soaked from the beach… for sure they got in trouble. All tired from the beach they all headed back to their tents to rest for the awakening of tomorrow.
Sakura was still outside on a deck chair out on the beach, feeling her sprained ankle and looking up at the stars. She felt a similar aura to hers but a green aura was approaching and she couldn't tell if it was Daisuke or someone else. Turning her head abruptly she said. "Who are you? Daisuke? Is that you?" Her emerald orbs keen in the darkness around her.
"No. I'm not your friend." Said a very familiar, but icy tone. "I wish I didn't know you though…" The man's tone was cold and drippy.
Sakura growled her eyes flashing and when she looked up she noticed yet the amber eyed man again! "What do you want? Get away from me if you wish you didn't know me."
"You shouldn't be saying it like that, or you'd still be lost in the forest." The amber eyes man smirked. "Just so you'll beware, I'm Syaoran. Stop being a bitch."
Gasping for a moment then regaining herself she said through gritted teeth, "And you stop being a bastard, I'm someone you don't want to know. You beware." Her green eyes were still hard, gazing at him intensely.
Syaoran expected a comeback and was still smirking. He sat himself beside her but just without her reach. He looked towards the honey brown haired girl and said, "This is my first time meeting someone who has the guts to stand up to me."
"Well you the same to me." She replied, raising a brow. Not knowing what his intentions were. "Will you answer me? What do you want?" Pronouncing it slowly to make him seem like a 4 year old.
"Nothing really, I just couldn't get to sleep. So I decided to annoy you." Smirking at the annoyed girl made him more amused.
"We'll see about that." She muttered glaring at him.
Syaoran looked up at the stars his face relived for a moment before changing back to his usual self. He stayed silent wanting to be relaxed for a minute at least.
Sakura caught the relaxed look and her heart skipped a beat. Awe stricken she wondered what was wrong with her? She gazed back at the stars and a question came to mind. "How exactly do you know Rachel?" She remembered at once, that he was heading for her at the ball.
Looking surprised for a second he was caught off guard and replied with a cold face. "Well… she used to have a crush on me and now we're just friends." He then thought of another comeback. "And why would you be asking? ...Is it not any of your business?"
Sakura's didn't look surprised at all she had thought that he wouldn't have answered her question at all. "Ugh… why would she have a crush on you? You didn't have to answer, I was just curious." Her voice was steady and firm which agreed with the expression on her determined face. "I knew Rachel as a close friend, come to think of it; she did mention someone she had a crush on. But I'd never thought it would be you." Concluding her statement, it was her turn to smirk.
Irritated by her comment he scowled, 'why does she frustrate me so easily?' He thought his eyebrows furrowed. 'Could it be….? Hell…no.'
Seeing his expression Sakura couldn't help but let out a hollow chuckle. Which she had rarely done in three years! 'Why do I laugh around him? I feel as if nothing will hurt me. I can never fall in love again…but what is this emotion? And why him of all people?' She thought her eyebrows now furrowed.
This girl had interested him, why was she cold and distant one moment and then with a sense of humor? She had just confused him and he felt a small smile crawl up his face. Suddenly, frowning he sank into another deep thought. 'Hmm… I am cold and rude now because of my past of father's death and the passing of the Chosen One from the Elders. What had happened to this girl to make her so?' The interest seeped through him.
Sakura caught the small but rare smile and her heart skipped a beat once again. Her honey brown hair blew slightly when a small breeze picked up. She stared at his dark chestnut unruly bangs blowing, while he was in deep thought. The seventeen year old blushed slightly noticing her staring and she got up strongly, and limping back to her tent without a notice.
Upon entering the tent she sighed and collapsed on her sleeping bag. Her mind was in an abyss swirling with emotions she'd never felt before. Her right hand rose over her heart and she fell asleep from tiredness.
Syaoran on the other hand was awoken from thoughts a few minutes later by the sounds of waves crashing on the shore. Peering around with wide eyes he noticed Sakura had already left. Sakura. He liked that name; smirking in his reverie he held his heart while heading to his own tent.
