Chapter Four: Threats
Zachary sat among the clover, his head resting in his hands.
"I don't know what else to tell you." Tomoyo said softly. She was seated beside Zachary, her hand comfortingly on his shoulder. Eriol was sitting beside her, his face sad. Touya was pacing in front of the three teens, fuming.
"I can't believe it!" Touya snarled. "They kidnapped her? Are you sure?"
Tomoyo nodded. "Yes. She would have come back by now...or unless..."
"Don't think that Tomoyo." Eriol said, gripping her hand tightly. "Sakura's a strong girl, and a legend with the pixies, they wouldn't kill her"
"How do you know that?" Zachary snapped, getting to his feet and glaring at the blue-haired prince, his eye angry. "How do you know that she's not lying in the forest right now, dead?"
"Shut up." Touya growled, punching Zachary on the shoulder. "Eriol's right, she's not dead. But she is with them"
"What are they going to do to her Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol sighed and shook his head sadly. "I don't...know. They could do so many things to her...I don't want to think about it"
"So we get her out, right?" Zachary said. "We can declare a full-out war against those bastards!"
"No." Eriol said, shaking his head. "Not now. The festival is today, we can't just rally people together to attack the pixies. Besides, they'd be expecting that"
"True." Touya sighed, sitting on a log across from the group, his wings folded limply on his back. "But...I don't want to loose Sakura"
"Neither do we." Eriol said. "But we have to wait, at least for a day, before we go in and get her. I sent some troops over to where she was taken, and they found a pixie girl in the ring"
"Really?" Zachary asked, brightening. "Well that's great! We can use her to lure out the pixies with Sakura"
Eriol nodded. "We could. But...she was left there, and she was in a panic, screaming profanities about her comrades. I suspect they left her there"
"So they won't come for her then." Touya growled, kicking the dirt with the tip of his toe. "Fuck! This is stupid! I want my sister back!"
"We all want Sakura back Touya." Tomoyo said softly. "But Eriol's right, we have to wait. Maybe we can find out a little about Sakura from the pixie girl...but I don't know if Prince Syaoran is willing to let Sakura go just yet"
Zachary choked. "The P-Prince has her? W-What was h-he doing there?"
"Hunting." Tomoyo shrugged. "Obviously"
Zachary groaned in frustration, running his hands through his hair. "This is bad. The Prince...he hates fairies, we killed his father, the King, many years ago"
"We know that." Touya snapped.
"Yeah but," Zachary said. "This could be his change to get revenge"
"True, but don't forget." Eriol said. "Sakura wants revenge on the pixies just as much as Syaoran wants it on us. So it's a fair fight over there"
"Fair?" Touya shouted. "How can a thousand fucking pixies against one girl be fair!"
"Don't forget Touya." Eriol said, calm. "She has the power of the elements with her. They won't be able to harm her"
"Badly." Touya grunted.
Zachary sighed and jumped into the air, his wings carrying him up with the wind.
"Zachary wait!" He heard Tomoyo shout after him. "Where are you going?"
Zachary didn't answer.
I'll talk to this...pixie girl. Find out where Sakura is, and find her.

Syaoran frowned, pulling Sakura along the hallways of the palace. More like dragging her.
She was taking her sweet time moving her feet and following after him, so it made it more of a chore for Syaoran.
"Will you hurry up?" He snarled.
"No." She answered bluntly, slowing down even more.
Syaoran rolled his eyes and stopped, turning around and scooping her into his arms, bridal-style.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Sakura snapped at him, trying to struggle in his grasp. "Put me down! Now!"
"If I do, it'll take until sundown to get you to follow me." He answered plainly.
Sakura frowned, stopping her struggling. Her wings and hands were tied behind her back, so Syaoran wouldn't get his eyes poked out.
"Why were you so rude to Yelan?" Syaoran asked suddenly.
Sakura didn't answer.
"Answer me!" Syaoran demanded, his grip on her waist tightening.
Sakura winced. "Fuck you! I was rude to her because I can be"
"No, you can't." Syaoran snapped. "She's the queen, you have to give her respect"
"Oh come on, Li." Sakura snapped. "If you were in my situation, you'd be the same way. Worse even"
"And what situation are you in, exactly?" He asked.
"Being held against my will." Sakura snapped.
Syaoran rolled his eyes. I hate fairies. I hate fairies. I hate fairies!
Finally, they were at the place Syaoran had wanted to go in the first place.
The dungeon.
He dropped Sakura onto her feet, turning her around and cutting the binds to her hands, leaving her wings tied.
"Not smart." Sakura snapped, holding her palm out to him, ready to send spirals of fire into his face.
Syaoran grabbed her wrist and twisted it painfully, taking two talismans from his pockets. He tied them around each of her wrists.
"Hey, what are these?" Sakura gasped, clawing at the bracelets that were tied tightly around her wrists. They wouldn't come off, no matter how hard she pulled.
"They will keep your magic under control." Syaoran said, triumphant.
Sakura glared at him. "I'd wipe that stupid smirk off your face if I were you"
"Oh yeah? Or what?" He snapped.
"I'll see to it that you don't last the night." Sakura shot back.
Syaoran rolled his eyes and opened a cell door. The bars wee made from the strongest wood and ivy, not even the sharpest knife could cut through it.
"No way and I staying in here!" Sakura snapped at him, walking back out of the cell and folding her arms stubbornly across her chest.
"You are." Syaoran said.
"Not." Sakura laughed.
He glared at her. "You will, unless you want to stay in my chambers"
He watches, satisfied, as her eyes flew open. "You wouldn't!"
He grabbed her waist and pulled her up against him. "Oh, I would."
Sakura slapped him, hard, across the face. "Pervert!"
With that she stomped into the cell and stood at the back, her arms folded across her chest, glaring at him.
Syaoran smirked and closed he cell door, locking it and stuffing the key in the pocket of his baggy pants.
"Have a nice stay." He said tauntingly, walking from the room.
As soon as he left the dungeons, he stopped in the hallway and took a breath. Why...did I do that? Why did I say that?
He was surprised at his actions. Normally he wasn't like that. But something had driven him to threaten her in that way.
She smelt...good. Like cherry blossoms. He thought to himself.
He shook his head, trying to get the thoughts of the emerald-eyed fairy out of his mind.
"Damn it." Syaoran snarled, stomping down the hallways towards the outside world. He would go and check on Meilin and talk to Yukito. That would get his mind off his prisoner.
Okay! A bit of a shorter chapter there...hope you liked it! Review!
