Hot Chocolate

The moment her feet landed in the shallow water, the water which rippled from the nearby waterfall made her feel incredibly cold. The chilling sensation disrupted her for a moment but she quickly overlooked its smooth frosty grip when she realized that large, golden fish swam around her feet.

Her beautiful face broke into a heartwarming grin, and one step closer toward the fish within the water caused a ripple mighty enough to scare the fish away. She did not frown but her smile vanished to a curious, watchful gaze. Then the young girl trailed the fish as slowly and quietly as she could but she was always clumsy and was never good at balancing even she was a...

"Sakura!"

The little princess turned away from the frightened golden fish and saw a young man with gorgeous golden locks of hair that tumbled across his face in a clean, appropriate manner. In Sakura's most honest opinion, she had never met anyone more beautiful than Fye D. Flowrite. Of course, in her humble opinion, Syaoran was not bad at all, but she did not dwell too much on that idea for she was never taught to hold opinions of others based on appearance.

Then, she realized the water was extremely chilly again and she slowly climbed out of the water with the gentleman's help although the water only reached to her ankles and the banks rolled into the water like a flat, sandy beach. When their hands met, she felt a glow of warmth that discredited the cold aura at the base of her feet.

Fye shook his head and sighed in a light-hearted manner that did not imply a hint of distress.

"Syaoran-kun is not going to be happy when he sees you went cold feet on him," he grinned. Sakura smiled pleasantly, as pleasantly as she could and thought nothing more of his words, which contained more than one meaning. "We have to be more careful in this world. The okadokas(1) may find us and we certainly don't want to leave you to be their hostage."

"I see..." she whispered and did not say another word. Fye saw the beautiful young princess as a girl with little to say. Of course, it did not seem to hinder her attribute of openness. She was certainly very quiet but did not need to for her lack of words did not give any one an impression she was a boring girl.

Fye stole several glances at the girl who took no notice to his watchful eyes. He was worried for her like an older brother and wondered what a mind was like without a memory. He convinced himself several times when he was alone that if he did not remember who he was, he would certainly die. However, there must be a strong heart buried within Sakura with veins to her soul that kept her mind from collapsing. There was a reassuring spirit that the spell, prophecy, whatever magic it was that took her from her original self.

The girl glanced at him several times as if she had something she wanted to say importantly—something that hung in her mind. Sakura was the first to break the silence, which surprised him for she never spoke first: "Fye, what's for dinner?"

"Kurogane went out to get some food. Of course, he may have some problems with the okadokas but he is a tough one," Fye grinned but half-heartedly and was left with a lingering thought in his mind. That was not what you wanted to ask, was it?

They returned to the camp quietly without another word to each other.

A/N: Read and review, please )! BTW, I'm thinking this may be multi-chapter. This will be FyeXSakura since I just want to do something totally different so if you don't like it, then read a SyaoranXSakura fiction to please yourself instead. Okay? Okay )!
