Newayz on with the story
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Syaoran was sitting on the couch away from the entrance when he saw Sakura enter looking pleased about something.
"Did you meet my father?" he questioned when she sat down beside him.
"Yes," she replied as she looked down towards the couch, it was dark green in colour, but was probably the cleanest object in this tent.
"And..." he continued as he saw that she made no movement to.
"How was he?" he asked, although he had a fair clue of the answer.
"He was really nice." She replied
Sakura had visited Syaoran's father thinking that he was probably a really cruel man, but when he met him, her opinion was quickly reversed. She had spent a long time in his tent talking about herself and also about him and his son. She had also learnt what the clothes around their faces were called "lliani" (I'm really sorry, I made that up, I forgot what they were called).
"Good," he replied. Syaoran knew that a trip to his father would lift her mood any day. His father was that kind of caring person that could make anyone feel special and happy.
Sakura didn't reply, she started looking around the tent, everything looked stolen.
"Where did you get all the furniture from?" she asked.
"Where do you think?" he replied sarcastically, but then thinking he might have been a little harsh.
Sakura knew she was right then.
"Do you want to bathe?" he asked, he knew she probably was feeling really dirty amongst all the "stolen" furniture.
"Yes," she replied excited, what she wouldn't do for a nice cool bath. She hadn't had one since they left England.
"Follow me then" Syaoran replied as he got up and started going towards the entrance of his tent.
Sakura quickly got up and followed as he exited the tent. She looked around at the people that were doing the things they do in their daily lives, although it seemed strange to her.
"What are they doing?" she asked as she quickly caught up with him.
"They're doing what they need to stay alive,"
At this Sakura started even further.
"Hey, don't stare at them; they aren't as lucky as you are, being born into a rich family,"
Sakura however was oblivious to his remark.
"They think you're weird wearing that," Syaoran remarked from ahead of her, trying to get her attention off his people. They didn't need to be looked down upon, that's why they were here, to get away from all that.
"Hey, I've got nothing else to wear, thanks to you," she replied when they moved away from the area.
"Would you rather wear your transparent nightgown then?" he asked teasingly
Sakura was about to object, when she realised he was right again.
"Why is he always right?" she thought.
"Ummm, Syaoran?" she said nervously after a while, "Where are we going?"
"Follow me," he answered.
Sakura quickly followed behind him as they went into a cluster of trees that was far from where all the tents were placed. Syaoran unveiled a small clearing, where there was a small pond with clear, clean sparkling water.
"You don't expect me to bathe in that do you?" she asked, hoping that he was joking.
"You live with us, you follow the way we do, and you bathe the way the rest of us have to." He answered.
Sakura hung her head in defeat. "It wouldn't be that bad" she thought to herself. At least she would be clean afterwards.
Sakura started to take off the robe when she noticed hat Syaoran was still looking at her.
"Can you please turn around?" asked Sakura, she didn't think he was that uncivilised.
At this Syaoran smirked.
"Do you think I'm going to deny myself the pleasure of looking at your body?" he answered
At this Sakura made a disgusted and horrified face at him, in which he just smirked.
Sakura turned around and quickly took off her clothes and got into the water. When she saw the he was still looking at her. She quickly turned her back towards him, covering herself and started to clean herself.
Sakura stopped when she felt a movement in the water. She turned around when she saw that Syaoran had stripped down and gotten into the water with her.
"Why you," she started enraged.
She turned around again trying to finish as soon as possible, although it was hard, as there wasn't enough space, as his shoulder was against her back.
Sakura was about done when she felt his chest on her back as he wrapped his legs around her.
Sakura blushed as she quickly got out of the water, dried herself up and put back on his robe.
"That was so embarrassing," she thought to herself, as she turned around and saw they he had already gotten out and changed.
"Let's go back," he suggested, as she nodded her head in agreement.
Sakura followed him back to his tent. She felt uncomfortable as many eyes were glaring at here as she walked through the campsite. She also could feel that they knew what she just did.
When they arrived back at the tent, Sakura hurried back inside.
"Why do they all look at me?" she asked Syaoran, she was supposed to be angry at him, but he and his father were the only people that she knew here and she needed to be nice to them.
"Oh, we just walked a different way back," he answered
Sakura was still confused.
"So?"
"Another family resides there." He answered
"So are they really mean people or what? And why aren't they working like the others?" she asked, he still wasn't answering her question.
"No, it's the family of this girl, who liked me,"
"Oh," Sakura answered.
"She was the one I was to marry, before I broke it off."
"Oh," Sakura repeated. She hoped she would never run across this girl, her family was scary enough.
After a silence, Syaoran continued.
"I've got to go to work now, stay here and you'll be safe."
"Work?" Sakura repeated blankly.
"Yeah, I have to work you know," he replied as he exited.
"Great," Sakura thought. She was going to be here doing nothing. What did he expect her to do here?
"Excuse me Miss, but is Li here?" a young girl around her age with dark violet hair asked.
"I'm sorry, he's at work." Sakura replied, looking at the girl.
The girl saw her looking at her oddly so she introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Tomoyo, I live near your place," she introduced.
"And I'm Sakura"
A little girl peeked out from behind Tomoyo's legs.
"Oh, and this is my daughter, Lucy." She introduced.
Sakura smiled at the child, but inside she thought, how young the girl was to have a daughter.
"Oh, hello?" Sakura bent down towards the child as she held out her hand.
The little girl hesitantly took it.
"She's just afraid of strangers, don't worry it took her a long while to warm up towards me and my husband, although we're her parents."
"You're married?" Sakura blurted out before she could help herself. "Sorry," she apologised
'It's alright, but yeah, here we're married, but in your law and system, were not."
"Oh," Sakura replied. "Did your husband force you, to you know..." Sakura asked, embarrassed.
Tomoyo seeing this laughed.
"No, don't worry, Syaoran's really kind underneath all that, and he's also the best looking guy I've ever come across."
Sakura nodded, obviously agreeing with her.
"Women's rights here aren't like those in your society." Tomoyo continued.
Sakura instantly held up her head, this was a topic she felt strongly about.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked worried. "I mean what will he do?" Sakura rephrased, making it more to the point.
Tomoyo giggled again, seeing the girl's worry.
"The worst he will do is probably hit you, I've never heard of him raping anyone," but then she thought again.
"Yet," she added.
Sakura gulped.
"Hey, don't worry, I'll help you, although there's not much I can do, he'd the next heir after his father dies, you know, his like the leader of this place."
"Leader?" Sakura repeated blankly.
"Yeah, leader, you know they guy that commands everyone,"
Sakura was embarrassed; this girl probably thought she was really dumb.
"Oh yeah, I was just surprised and all," Sakura lied, no wonder they had the biggest tents.
"Yeah, well we all thought they were really good leaders, as everyone agrees, so we elected him."
Sakura nodded dumbly, as she tried to change the subject."
"So what do you do in your spare time here?" she asked
"Oh I just look after my daughter and do my best to tidy up; there isn't a lot of free time.

Back in Egypt
"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" an old man addressed a young man that was in charge of this area.
"We're really sorry, but there's no one in the place she was sleeping, there seems to be only little evidence of a struggle though, she either went willingly or was drugged,"
Fujitaka frowned. Where could his daughter be? He knew she wouldn't go any where at this place away from his willingly, so she must been drugged. He didn't know anyone that would capture her, so they probably wanted a ransom. He would pay all his money for her back, it felt just like the time when his wife passed, he couldn't do anything about that, which was what that made him determined to find his daughter.
"All her belongings except one suitcase is still there though" the man continued trying to comfort the older man.
"Which suitcase?" he asked, although he knew it wouldn't help to her whereabouts.
"I think it must have been the one with all her undergarments, as we deducted from the search of the others," the younger man replied, clearly embarrassed. They had searched her belongings, in hope to find a clue, or at least a ransom note.
This didn't help Fujitaka, he was now more worried, why would they have taken that suitcase?
"Do you know around these areas?" he questioned another that quickly approached him.
"Not really well sir,"
"Well then prepare me some horses and supplies; I'm going to go searching for her."
"None of our men will go with you, it's a vast plain out there, and many have died before, they'll be mad to go to the wilderness." The man replied
"Fine, I will go on my own, prepare a good horse, and enough supplies." He commanded
The younger man was about to object, when Fujitaka turned away.
"He's going to die out there, he won't make it" the younger man thought to himself.
Fujitaka turned around, he didn't care what anyone thought, he wanted his daughter back, the navy would have to wait, and this time round he had his priorities in the right order.
Fujitaka went off looking for a messenger to deliver a message to his son, explaining what had happened, the situation, and what he was going to do.
He smiled, his son would probably be mad at what he was going to do and what had happened.
