Chapter 5: Poachers

She could feel his breath on her face. Sakura was torn inside, she knew what was going to happen. Although she felt insanely attracted to the amber-eyed male, she was still held back by bad memories of her family's death. She was scared of loving someone who might leave her in the near future, especially someone who had even sprouted new unknown feelings within herself.

Snapping back to reality, Sakura managed to close off her eye contact with the half-hypnotized Syaoran. She turned her head at the last possible moment which resulted in Syaoran landing his attempt kiss on her cheek.

"What do you think you are doing?" Sakura asked in a quivering voice, unsure of what she was feeling right now. She only recognized one emotion within the jumble of her trumping heart, confusion.

Syaoran widened his eyes in realization. This little incident might just cause him to lose all chances he had with Sakura.

He pushed away gently while casting his eyes anywhere else except for Sakura's face.

"Sakura! It's the last batch of children. We need to rush off after this. By the way, we earned more than 200 gold pieces. That's more than ever before!"

Chiharu shouted from the other side of the fence, thus breaking up the tense air surrounding the couple.

Sakura broke away from Syaoran, "I'll be right there!" She walked slowly away from Syaoran, who quickly turned and ran into Sakura's cottage, trying to figure out what he had just done.

"What in the world did I just do?" He sat down on the couch, gripping his hair.

"She definitely hate me for this. Why did I do that? Why? Why?" While he was mumbling to himself, he didn't notice the front door opening.

"Yo! My cute little cousin! Tomoyo wanted to visit Sakura a few days earlier because she's gonna be a tad busy the next few days after this? What the hell's wrong with you? Hey! Helloooooooooooooooooooooo………."

Eriol stepped in with a large number of luggages. He immediately greeted his cousin who he now thinks that is physically there and not spiritually.

Tomoyo Daidouji stepped into the room with the air of richness around her. She closed her umbrella and took of her high heel shoes.

"Did I just hear you call me TOMOYO? I told you a thousand times and I'll tell you again! It's TOMOYO-SAMA. Understand?"

Eriol gulped and nodded. Who knew a prince like him would cower in front of a mere "commoner" like Tomoyo? Then again, she doesn't know that he is a prince. If she knew, she wouldn't even be in the same room as him!

Tomoyo's lecture finally reached into Syaoran ears. He turned his head and spotted the scene before him. He couldn't help but laugh. Eriol bending on the ground with Tomoyo on his back, she was fanning herself while looking around for any signs of Sakura. The funny thing was there were actually a few more couches in the room, which doesn't explain why Tomoyo is sitting on the back of poor dear Eriol.

Just then, Sakura, Rika, Chiharu and Naoko entered the living room from the kitchen. The group of girls shrieked in happiness when the saw Tomoyo.

"TOMOYO! We've missed you so much! How's it been? And why are you sitting on that guy's back?"

"Hello…"

Sakura sweatdropped at the sight of Eriol, "Wow. She's sure making good use of him."

Rika then looked at the grandfather clock that was positioned beside the front door.

"Oh my god! Its noon already! Terada-sensei is going to be so mad!"

"Get real! He never gets mad at you! You guys are practically dating. By the way, when's the wedding?"

Rika blushed in embarrassment. "Come on! We have to go! Our animals are starving!"

She pulled the two girls away from Tomoyo and dashed out of the door.

"Sorry we can't stay longer. But we really have to go! See you next Monday Sakura! Bye Tomoyo! We'll hang out sometime!"

Sakura smiled and waved at the three girls, who released their horses from the fence and galloped off.

Tomoyo smiled, "I'm proud of you Sakura. My dragons have "told" me that you have been giving this guy tons of work. I never thought you had it in you!"

Sakura sweatdropped. If only her cousin knew that she had bribed the dragons with meat and asked them to tell Tomoyo she had been "torturing" Syaoran every single minute.

"Thanks Tomoyo. I think…………"

Syaoran pondered at Sakura's reply. "Work? She only taught me how to draw water and keep the unicorns well and healthy. That's call work?"

Then silence took over the room. Strangely, they had nothing to say.

Unknowingly, Syaoran's eyes wandered to Sakura squirming figure. He frowned, "She must be thinking about that kiss. I really shouldn't have done that. Wait a minute. What made me fall on top of Sakura anyway?" That led him into another session of "Thinking to yourself"

Eriol on the other hand, set his eyes on his "mistress". She had stopped fanning a while ago. He then noticed she was examining the other two in the room. Sakura was more squirmy than normal and the usual "cool" Syaoran was in fact thinking to himself again. There was a huge space between them as both of them obviously tried to position themselves as far as they can get from each other by sitting at both edges of the couch.

"NEIGH!"

The four jumped at the sudden noise coming from the cottage window. All of them rushed to see what the commotion was. Sakura gasped in horror the sights that behold her.

The stable door had fallen to the ground and a couple of fences surrounding the pen were broken. There was no sign of any of Sakura's Unicorns. The only one that could be seen was Chocolate, who was going berserk at the broken side of the fence.

Sakura withdrew herself out of the window and ran into the kitchen and into the fields.

Syaoran ran after Sakura while Tomoyo and Eriol stood rooted at the window, wondering what in the world happened and what in the world they should do.

Sakura held out her two hands and tried to grip onto Chocolate's head.

"Calm down Choco. Calm down! Now what happened?"

She managed to calm Chocolate down as he finally calmed down although his eyes showed distress and fear.

Sakura immediately knew what had just happened, "Don't tell me. Poachers?"

"Alicorns were are famous and very valuable because of their healing capabilities-they were thought be able to heal any physical or magical ailment when touched. They were also rumored to have the power to revive the dead and give immortality and protect against every form of evil. When the horn was dispatched from the unicorn's body, its capabilities would be reduced slightly but it would still be able to detect poison and heal from poison. That's why Unicorn's horns, which are also known as Alicorns are favourites of poachers."

"Really? They are that valuable? No wonder unicorns are rare in the wild."

Sakura sobbed on the couch. Tomoyo wrapped her arms around the sobbing girl, who was silently ever since the incident.

"Its ok… Shhhhh" Tomoyo tried to calm Sakura. It's no wonder how Sakura reacted. The unicorns have always been there for her since her childhood. They were just like her second parents.

"How can you say that? Even Dusk is gone. She is pregnant for goodness sake!"

She went back into the cover of Tomoyo's chest.

Syaoran's clenched his fist. He couldn't take anymore of this. He couldn't let Sakura suffer. He whistled for Frost who swooped through the window. The ice phoenix cawed as he landed on his master's shoulders. The ice phoenix could also feel the burning fire within the amber-eyed male.

Everyone stared as Syaoran took some horse reins off the hooks near the door. "Where are you going?" Sakura asked Syaoran in wonderment.

He turned and smiled, "By the time the message reached the authorities, they will be closed. It won't be till next morning until they would take any action. So, I'm going to rescue your Unicorns."

"WHAT?"

Days left: 95

A/N: There! I'm planning to put a lot of things in the next chapter. More SS and ET romance. And of course the mystery of how Sakura's family died. Watch out for the next chapter! I know it's a bit short but I promise the next chapter is gonna be big and this was the best place to stop. Please review!
