Chapter 5
With Eriol and Tomoyo
Tomoyo stretched her arms out as she stifled a yawn. She and Eriol had been riding all night and they had finally reached a village at the outskirts of the forest. They had decided to stay for the day and night seeing that they haven't sleep for the whole night for they were trying to get away from the forest as fast as possible.
Now they had just entered a hotel hoping to find a place to stay. Eriol came back from the counter and told her that the rooms were ready. He walked her to her room while observing her, as she was deep in thought. 'I wonder if there is any survivors left when the Emperor raided our house.' At the word 'Emperor' Tomoyo's eyes flashed with anger. She really did loathe him. Maybe even more than loathe. Who wouldn't loathe a person that had literally killed your whole family for no apparent reason? Okay, maybe there was a reason, but it was still a mystery to her as it was such a sudden attack.
When they finally reached her room, Tomoyo was snapped back to reality and was only then did she fell self-conscious and notice that Eriol was studying her intently. She quickly stole a quick glance at Eriol, but that quick glance turned into a full-fledge staring contest, because of their capturing eyes. They stayed like that for a full five minutes until Tomoyo broke the gaze.
"I should retire to my room now." She muttered a brief goodbye and entered her room. When the door was fully closed, both of them leaned against the door thinking.
'What am I doing. I shouldn't feel this way, not before the Emperor is dead. I should concentrate on my revenge, but I can't help it. He's just so him. I can't be falling for him can I?'
'This is not right. She just has these things that keeps captivating me. No, not these things, she captivates me. She is just too amazing. She has her own way of making me not my cool and calm self. She makes my insides knot into a huge mess. She truly is wonderful though.' Eriol walked to his room, which is just across hers and decided to sleep for a few hours.
With Sakura and Syaoran
Sakura was starting to stir. She blinked a few times to adjust to the light before looking at her surroundings and finally resting on amber eyes. They were still in the cave and it was now morning. Syaoran abruptly stood up seeing that she had finally woken up from her deep sleep.
"Come on, it's late so we better start moving. "he said rather commandingly, but Sakura didn't move, she was debating with herself whether or not she should go with him. 'I could easily escape seeing that I'm not bonded. But what if the soldiers are still close. Will I have a better chance surviving with him or by myself? If I follow him, then I will still be ended up captured and if I was by myself I still have a chance of escaping, but then I will still be chased not only by them but also by him.'
"Did you hear me?" he said quite menacingly. "Or do I have to drag you."
Snapping out of her thoughts, she decided she should follow him know and decide later on. Syaoran saddled the horse and hopped on it. Seeing that there was no other horse and Syaoran was starting to get impatient she too hopped on loosely placing her arms around his torso to steady herself. The horse broke into a fast dash into the dense wood. Taken by surprise of the speed, she hold tightened on Syaoran.
When it turned dark, they decided to set up camp. Sakura had decided she would escape, and was going to do it tonight. While they where sitting around the fire, Sakura asked Syaoran where they were going since she had the right to know.
"Where going to where I live so I could complete my mission."
"Yes I already know that but exactly where." She asked, a bit annoyed.
At first he was hesitant to answer but he gave in "The Li Kingdom."
"Oh. So how long does it take to get there?"
'She didn't notice. Good.' "It takes about a week or so." An awkward silence fell between them and Sakura couldn't take it, so she decided that she should pretend to sleep so that he would retire too.
"Umm... I think that I should sleep now." She walked towards her pallet.
Soon Syaoran went to sleep too. She waited for an hour or so till she silently crept out of her pallet and into the shadows. When she thought she was far enough from the clearing, she broke into a run as fast as she could, putting as much distance between the site and her.
She finally stopped, feeling that it was far enough. She decided that she should settle in a tree tonight and silently jumped onto a branch. But when she reached the branch, she was taken a back from the sight in front of her.
Elsewhere
"Oh, so you are finally caught my cherry blossom." He said while chuckling a bit. He waved his hand in front of the orb and it turned clear before black smoke came swirling from the centre, "but not for long."
Sorry for the lateness for this chapter, but I had to go to summer school this summer, and I had homework from summer school and I had summer reading, so that was why it was so late. So I'm very, very, very sorry.
