Right then and there the boy ran right bye her and drove a knife into her shoulder as he passed her… then she felt herself fall but she couldn't do anything. She felt the same gust of wind but this time it didn't go through her is was like it helped her fall to the ground…

Sakura was faintly awake when she heard voices. "Oh my god why did you have to stab the poor girl Kevin?" Asked a husky voice. The one called Kevin answered, "Well I didn't really mean to Derek! She came out of no where!" "But you have control don't you, I mean you have trained with the Showron family."

'Showron…Soyron oh no that means this guy is trained by Soyron!' thought Sakura as she lay there with her eyes closed.

"Hey Kevin aren't you supposed to begetting married or summin? Then Sakura sat up and gasped. The boys looked at her and jumped up with their daggers out. "who..who..are you?" Sakura asked as she grasped her shoulder and gasped. Sakura tried to get up but the pain was incredible! She looked down at her silk top and saw that the whole front was full of blood.

"Well… do you…have any…bandages that…I can…use?" She panted even harder. Fatigue was creeping up on her fast.

Then a young man, short black hair, blue eyes, high cheekbones, muscular chest, and a handsome grin reached into a pack and grabbed a handful of wraps for injuries. He walked over to her still with the knife in his hands. "Here girl this is what you need to make your wounds heal faster than is needed." He stuffed the wraps into her hand and walked back to his companion.

Sakura was just gonna ask for some privacy but she thought she better not just in case they thought that she would try to escape. She started to unbutton her blouse but the man who gave her the bandages stopped her. "First of all I think you might need some privacy but me and my companion will be listening to you when you get yourself re-freshened." Just as he was about to walk away Sakura heard the sound of water rush in the bushes. "Umm- do you…think I…can get cleaned…up by the river…over there?" She asked quickly.

"No-" "God dammit Kevin look at the poor girl you fool she needs to bathe and you know that you just don't want her to run away. Yes I agree she is beautiful but you can stop a pretty lady like this to be all bloody can you?" Kevin's companion asked him firmly.

"Fine you can go but stay near and make it fast!"

Sakura grabbed her rucksack and headed to the river.

She stripped off all her clothing and entered the water. 'Brrrrrr… its…so…cold! Why did…I get stabbed?' Sakura examined her shoulder and her results were not so pretty! The blade that went through her shoulder had left flakes of metal in her shoulder, the stab wound was infected and blood was still coming out. She heard the bushes rustle so she ducked into the water and a searing pain went through her shoulder, the coldness of the water was awful. A little squirrel came out of the bushes. It sat there and it watched her bathe. Then she started to get bored so she started to sing. Her lovely voice carried into the camp of her captors and the men followed the wonderful voice and watched Sakura sing in the trees above.

As Sakura sang she thought of Soyron.

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you …

As she finished the song she heard the tree above her, she looked up and screamed. She saw two guys watching her in the river. And of course the men stared with their mouths agape. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" Sakura screamed!

Kevin jumped out of the tree first and his face was totally red. "Umm- I...I…I don't know!"

"Kevin just stop your supposed to be getting married remember!" Stammered Derek. "You cant get distracted I'm the one who'll get into shit if you get married to some fair maiden!"

"Well your right, but one lady wont harm the relationship wit that wretched girl!" Started Kevin.

"Excuse me… umm can you boys please leave so I can get out of the water and get dressed?"

"Oh ok milady." Said Derek as he pulled away Kevin away from her.

So about an hour later they were all sat around the grounds where the boys had found Sakura.

"Am I allowed to ask you boys questions or do I have to keep quiet?" Sakura asked.

"You're allowed to talk milady." Replied the grinning Derek.

"O.K. first of all where are you guys headed?"

"Well we are headed towards the city where a girl named Sakura Avalon lives. Kevin here is supposed to be getting married to her in two weeks." Explained Derek.

"Oh my god!"

"What is it milady?" Asked Kevin with a grin?

"Oh nothing I'm fine is it ok if I retire for the evening?"

"Go ahead."

Sakura headed to bed, so did the men.

Later that evening Sakura heard something crack in the bushes. She grabbed her knife under her travel roll and was ready to strike but her visitor was to. The thing grabbed her wrists and tied them together and a body pressed against her, she knew immediately it was a guy. Then she thought for a moment who was the most perverted? Oh no it was Kevin her betrothed. He pressed his lips to hers and tried to stick his tongue into her mouth but she refused. After a while he was crushing her body she freed her hand and grabbed her knife and held it to his neck and whispered, "If you really want to meet your betrothal you'll leave me alone!"

She felt him gulp, and slowly she removed the knife away from his neck and he slithered back to his bedroll.

In the morning it was really awkward for Sakura because Kevin kept staring at her. Finally she saw windy near by, she packed her bags, she walked over to the edge of the camp. "Where are you going lady?" Kevin growled.

Derek glanced over and looked at her and frowned.

"I thank you gentle men for your hospitality but I have to leave. No don't get up. But I have to tell you men something… I am Sakura Avalon." And with that she added. " WINDY come get me!"

and with that she was gone!……………………………………………………
