~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura got up in the morning when she felt all cold. She looked over towards Syaoran and found him away from her. Sakura sighed she hoped that the wound didn't hurt; she hadn't meant to hurt him.
Syaoran woke up when he saw Sakura staring at him in concern.
"Are you alright? Does it still hurt?" she questioned
"I'll be fine," he reassured
"I'm so sorry," Sakura apologised as she burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
"Hey, hey, its okay, I'll be fine,"
"Are you still going to go to work?" Sakura asked
"Yeah, it won't stop me from doing most things,"
"Okay," Sakura mumbled, she had hoped that he would stay home with her.
"I called Tomoyo to come over, her husband is going to bring her, be nice to him, and his name is Eriol."
"Okay," Sakura replied, at least she would have someone to talk to.
"Are you going to be alright?" Sakura asked again.
"Yeah, look I got to go, so how about a kiss?" Syaoran teased
Sakura however thought he meant it so she leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips.
"But then again, I didn't mean it," he remarked
Sakura turned bright red, she couldn't believe her stupidness.
"Okay, I'm off," Syaoran said as he went outside.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura sat down on the couch and looked at her self; she would definitely need to make herself some new clothes.
Sakura thoughts were interrupted when she heard a child's laughter coming from the entrance.
She turned around and saw Tomoyo next to a man.
"Hey Sakura!" Tomoyo greeted, "This is my husband Eriol," she introduced
Sakura looked up to see a pair of warm eyes. (I don't know what colour his eyes are)
"Hey, I'll come over later and pick up Tomoyo," Eriol told Sakura as he left.
Sakura sighed; at least he was a little nicer than Syaoran.
"Hey, how are you?" Tomoyo asked, she had heard about the little fight with Ashani.
"You heard about it?" Sakura didn't know that she would've known.
"Duh, everyone knows,"
Sakura was shocked, she didn't want a bad image her when the people hardly knew her.
"Who was that girl anyway?" Sakura asked, she hadn't really known who she was, except that she used to be engaged to Syaoran or something like that.
"Her name's Ashani and she was the one that everyone thought Ashani was going to marry, so they were kind of engaged."
"Oh," Sakura didn't know what to say, "So what happened?"
"Well, you came and along and obviously everyone knows who you are, Ashani's family was really ashamed, they had all the preparations done and everything, so she then had to be engaged to someone else, his name was Yue, quite a nice guy,"
Sakura sighed, there was so much she didn't know about this place, yet she wanted to know more.
"Tell me more about this place," she pleaded Tomoyo
"Okay then, what do you want to know?"
Sakura tried to think of something Syaoran had said about another group of people that were also here.
"What's that other group of people here, and why?"
Tomoyo was taken back; she didn't know that Sakura had known about the other group
"There's another group of people here, they are like our enemies, they don't know where we are, and we don't know where they are, if they see anyone of us they will kill us, it's a long story really why their fighting,"
Sakura urged Tomoyo to continue.
"Well, you know Li's father?"
Sakura nodded.
"Well he had a wife, she was the leader of the other group's sister, she married Li's father and had him. Years later they found out she had cancer, she had to return back to your world, her world, she never really lived out here, she didn't make it, she died."
"Oh," Sakura replied, she didn't know that had happened to Syaoran's mum.
"Her brother instantly blamed Li's father, although it wasn't his fault, he's out there to get him."
"Oh," Sakura repeated
"So how's Li been?" Tomoyo questioned
"He's been nicer lately, wait, he gave me some material, perhaps I could make some clothes for Lucy?"
"That'll be great!" Tomoyo agreed, when Eriol appeared at the door.
"We finished early today, Li's going to come back soon, let's go Tomoyo," Eriol said as he disappeared out the door.
"Okay then, I've got to go, I might see you tomorrow okay?"
"Okay then," Sakura replied.
Sakura sat down on the couch and started thinking about the whole situation, when she felt something cold come across her neck.
She looked down as she saw a stunning necklace with an emerald in it.
"Wow," she stated, as she turned around and saw Syaoran behind her.
"Thank you," she replied as she hugged him tightly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Sakura replied as she quickly let go, she had just remembered his wound.
"Its okay, do you like it?"
"Yeah, where did you get it?"
Sakura knew she had asked the wrong thing when Syaoran remained silent.
"Work," he replied simply
Sakura couldn't stand all his secretness anymore, she wanted to know.
"What do you do at your work anyway?" she questioned
"We go and collect the things we need to survive," he answered simply
Sakura understood what he meant; he meant that he stole from people that came across this desert.
"Why do you steal from the people, I mean they are innocent," she demanded
"Why? Would you rather die?"
Sakura knew he was correct, they didn't have a choice.
"Do you want to come to the stable where we keep the horses?" he questioned
"Really?" Sakura's face lit up, when she was young, Touya and her had often gone horse-riding.
"Yeah,"
"Now?" Sakura questioned
"Come on, let's go,"
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura was riding on a brown horse as she let her hair out.
It felt good, she hadn't ridden a horse for so long and it brought back memories, a tear fell down as she thought about her brother and her father, but she quickly wiped them away.
"How about a bet?" Syaoran asked as he rode beside her.
"What on?"
"Who can ride the fastest?"
Sakura hesitated, she had ridden in a long time, but that didn't mean she wasn't fast, but Syaoran was probably better.
"What do I get if I win?" she questioned
"If you win, I'll let you go back home,"
Sakura couldn't believe it, she really did want to go back home.
"And what if you win?" she asked
At this Syaoran smirked
"If I win, you give in freely,"
"Never," Sakura replied as she started.
Sakura was on her way when she saw Syaoran ride past her; it was a good thing she didn't agree to the bet.
"What do you want?" Syaoran asked her.
"Tell me father I'm dead," Sakura replied, it was better that way, he wouldn't continue searching, so he wouldn't die.
"I'll have a messenger out, come on, let's get back,"
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Fujitaka paused as he wiped the sweat of his forehead; he had been searching for the past few months for his daughter, with no hope, she wasn't anywhere, he hadn't met anyone in the desert, and the chances that she would've survived on her own were very slim.
He had told himself over and over that he wouldn't give up on her, but it was time that he did, he was now on his way back home.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Back at Kinomoto Mansion
Touya was sitting down, anticipating his father's return, his father had spent a few months searching for his sister, and he would've gone too, if his father hadn't forbidden him to.
"Touya?" came a soft voice from the door
Touya turned around as he saw his old man; he instantly rushed up to help him up to his room.
"Did you find her?" he questioned immediately
"No, there's no trace of her, nothing,"
Touya knew that was coming, he started to go down the stairs when he heard the door ring.
"Good evening, is this the Kinomoto residence?"
Touya looked out to see a strange looking man.
"Yes it is, how may I help you?"
"Letter, addressed to this household, sir" the man replied as he handed the letter over and made his way back to his vehicle and drove off.
Touya started to open the letter and read, when he suddenly stopped mid way up the stairs.
"No, this can't be right,"
He started running up to his father's room as he burst open the door.
"Read," he commanded his father
Fujitaka looked puzzled at his son's behaviour as he took up the piece of paper and started reading; he too had the same reaction.
"No, Sakura, she can't be," Fujitaka scrunched up the piece of paper.
Touya closed the door behind him.
Sakura couldn't be dead, could she?
