Chapter 6

A gasp came out from her mouth as she looked at the person before her. Right in front of her was one of the people she has been trying to avoid at all cost. Running away from them since she was thirteen years old. Ever since her family was killed. Ever since her whole kingdom was destroyed.

The man across from her started to smirk maliciously "So the little princess is indeed as pretty as they say she is."

"If you think I'm defenceless, then think again mister." She said, swiftly aiming a kick at his abdomen. But an inch before it made contact, it was caught and trapped.

"And naïve too." The man said licking his lips. But before he could say another word, Sakura jumped kicked him on the face, sending him flying towards the bark of the tree. She jumped off the branch and ran off into the night. When he finally realized what happened, blood was seeping out of his mouth. He wiped it off rather gingerly, but he smirked and said "and feisty." Right after he said that, his expression turned grave and jumped from the tree like a cat and chased after her, ready to kill.

After running endlessly, her pace started to slow down gradually. Taking a backwards glance, she saw that the man was gaining up. But before she could turn her head back, she collided with something, or rather someone, and both of them fell to the floor. Seeing that it was Syaoran, she started to run pass him, but before she could even start getting up, Syaoran caught her wrist and jumped onto the nearest tree. He covered her mouth with his hand muffling her endless protests and waited for the man to run pass them.

After a minute or two, he released her as she relaxed her tense shoulders, as realization had drawn to her. Syaoran was right behind her! She started to move but found that her right hand was still caught in his firm hold. Looking down at her petite form, he had to admit that he had under estimated her.

"You're coming with me." With that said, he jumped down the tree, dragging her with him. He started to walk towards the camp that they left unattended, but found that a force was pulling him back. Two men who were dressed like soldiers were trying kidnap Sakura away. One was trying to pull her out of Syaoran's grip while the other was muffling her cry of surprise. Seeing the soldiers' faces her eyes widen in shock. Seeing she was unable to move, Syaoran helped her by punching the soldier's faces causing them to lose their grip. He forcefully punched them in the gut once he pulled Sakura out of the way. Sakura in her unstable state sunk to the floor staring at them with a blank face. Syaoran continued his series of punches and kicks taking glances at Sakura occasionally to make sure she was safe. Finishing them off, Syaoran summoned his sword out of a pendant he had with him. Sakura seeing the flash of metal stepped out of her reverie.

"Stop! Li please don't!" she ran quickly in front of the fallen soldiers and acted as a human shield. "Please don't kill them." Syaoran who was already at the stage of plunging his sword into the soldiers quickly redirected his sword to the side avoiding Sakura as much as he can, however her upper left arm was gashed and blood was seeping out causing her black shirt to be dyed a deep red.

"Get out of the way girl." He said while trying to ignore the gash he had caused.

"No, you can't kill them, I won't let you!" she was still standing before the fallen soldiers that had fallen unconscious.

"Move before I kill you too."

"No." Syaoran was enraged by her reply he punched a nearby tree with his free hand causing splinters to fly everywhere. His sword switched back into a pendant that was magically hung back on to his neck. Seeing she had won, she relaxed visibly and looked back sadly at the soldiers. They were hurt, but it was not life threatening, so she walked away towards another direction where she hoped that no trouble would come across her.

"If you walk one more step, I'll kill them." Shocked, Sakura spun around and saw Syaoran looking at her threateningly. Sakura knew he was serious about killing them so she unwillingly changed her direction towards the camp. Without a word, she went to her pallet thinking about the threat Syaoran had gave her, 'I hope you're safe Touya and Yukito-san.' She was about to go to sleep when she felt something cold on her left arm.

"Don't move." Syaoran was cleaning the gash on her left arm. He tore off her left sleeve and continued cleaning the gash. It was quite deep. Sakura bit her lip willing herself not to whimper from the stinging pain. He wrapped clean white bandages tightly around her arm, hoping it wouldn't get infected. But before he left, Sakura caught his left hand that was wrapped messily with bandages. She tugged his hand.

"Let me help you. It's only fair." Without waiting for his consent, she unwrapped it and gasped at what she saw. The back of his hand was pierced with splinters of all size. She gently touched it and felt his hand retreat slightly. Holding his hand firmly, she gently removed the splinters one by one, careful not to hurt him. When all the splinters were out, she tenderly cleaned his hand with a wet cloth, blew his hand dry and rewrapped it with the bandages. When she noticed that he didn't move, she looked up and saw that he was staring at her. Seeing that he was caught, he quickly averted his gaze and blushed lightly. Without a word, he left the pallet going to his own.

"I see you're falling for the little wolf, what a pity when it won't last long."

Well, this one took a little less than a year… I'm so sorry, but I couldn't think of anything to write and it took me a while to figure out where this is leading. oopsy
