Syaoran rolled his eyes boosted Sakura up a little more. A little while ago she had looked like she was about to fall over, so Syaoran had offered to give her a piggyback. To tired to even think it over, Sakura had only nodded her head and he had picked her up. She had snuggled her head into the crook of his neck, where she was now currently sleeping.

Syaoran looked up from the ground at the noise that was blaring up ahead. There was a large gate with lettering on it, but he was too far to figure out what was written. It looked like a village of some sorts. He supposed he could looked at the map, but that would mean going into Sakura's stuff, which was on her back. It would be fairly hard to get to said bag with her on his back.

"Sakura," he whispered as he continued to walk to the entrance. She remained asleep however, and Syaoran was starting to wonder if the sleeping spell was still cast upon her. He certainly hoped not, because if he had to kiss her again then there would defiantly be some more tense moments ahead of them (Although personally he would very gladly kiss her).

"Sakura!" he said again, though this time a little louder. She quickly opened her eyes, sat up a little straighter, and took a quick glance at Syaoran. Perhaps that wasn't the greatest thing she had ever done, because she let out a shrill scream and promptly made the both of them fall over.

They landed in a compromising position. Sakura was now on top of Syaoran with Syaoran's arms wrapped around her and their foreheads touching.

"Sorry," Sakura breathed.

"No…problem…" Syaoran's voice came out a little huskily, but he didn't mind. He had secretly been dreaming about this, only to chastise himself when he awoke.

Sakura quickly rolled over onto the ground and got up. She brushed her plain but pretty dress free off dirt. She had picked this dress because it was easy to move around in, and you could easily wear pants underneath. She wore something like this when she was forced to take fencing lessons. Although it wasn't the fanciest or most expensive of her wardrobe, it was mostly her favorite.

She took a quick look over at Syaoran. He was wearing a fairly loose shirt with tights, which she could tell he was very uncomfortable with. But they certainly showed off his legs very nicely. 'His very, very nicely shaped legs…'

Sakura blushed and looked away. "Where are we?" she asked.

Syaoran merely raised an eyebrow and nodded his head toward the large gate.

Energia

May no one leave Energia…bored

"Oh…right, I knew that," Sakura blushed prettily.

"Yes," Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Yes, I'm sure you did."

They started walking up to the large gate. Sakura groaned. "I can't wait to have a bath! I feel dirty. And I can't you wait you to get a bath." She pinched her nose."You stink more then me."

He didn't think this was fair, because when she was on his back she had begun to stink of sweat. That could only be an insult to him more, he was sure.

When they finally got to the gate, a boy probably not the age of thirteen greeted them. "Welcome to Energia. We have lot's going on here, more then you can imagine. No one gets bored here, nope, not one. Because, after all that is our motto, right? May no one leave Energia bored. Right?" The boy spoke this very fast.

Sakura cleared her throat. "Exuse me, but what is your name?"

"Oh, my name, although probably not that interesting, but everything is interesting here, and I live here, so –"

Sakura had a feeling that if she didn't stop this soon; this young boy was going to ramble on without even telling them his name. "Just – please, what is your name?"

The boy's eyes grew wide. "Oh, oh sorry. My name, well, name is Yamazaki Takashi. Do you know my name in German means –"

Syaoran grew impatient. "Look, could we just stay here for a little bit? We have to freshen up. Or she has to freshen up." At this Syaoran received a glare, and he was sure after they were done talking to, a talk that would include that you should not treat a lady that way – and a princess too for that matter - and that he stunk a lot more then she did.

Yamazaki rolled his eyes. "What's the point? You're just going to get sweaty anyway!Oh, here's a schedule. Each person in Energia has to enter at least three of the competitions. Including visitors." Suddenly his eyes grew wide, and he looked at the clock tower whose shade they were standing in. Sakura was now aware that it was beginning to feel the piercing heat, especially in the dress she was wearing, which was a dark blue. She looked up at the clock tower. It was a quarter and a half past nine. (9:45AM)

Syaoran discontinued reading. He looked up at Sakura. "Well then, looks like we made it just in time for the female wrestling."

Yamazaki was already running ahead, so Syaoran laced his fingers with Sakura's and set off into a run after Yamazaki.

"Syaoran! What about the quest? We can't waste time!" Sakura shouted as they ran.

"What's a quest without a little fun? C'mon!"

With that, they had reached the wrestling arena. Yamazaki turned around and held out a roman inspired uniform to Sakura. "Go on, then. The changing rooms right there." He pointed to a tent on the grass near the arena.

Sakura's face quickly turned to a dear caught for dinner. "I'm – I'm not participating!"

The young boys smiling face immediately went down. Tears started to invade his vision. "But – but the other girl who was supposed to particapate got a broken ankle yesterday! The show won't go on without you! Please!"

Syaoran spoke up. He personally wanted to see Sakura wrestle. "Yes, please Sakura?" He gave his best puppy dogface.

Sakura felt as if she was being attacked. Never the less, she sighed and gave in. She started to walk towards the changing room, and Syaoran's face broke out into a grin. He ran and hugged her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

♥

Her inside were shaking and Sakura was currently trying to take the last couple steps up the arena. Syaoran hugged her from behind. He seemed to be dong that a lot lately, touching her.

"Don't worry. All you have to do is think of something that gets you mad. Let your rage fill up, and then single it out on her." He pointed to the large girl that Sakura was going up against. "I've never seen you back down from a challenge before, and you always do great. You'll do great this time too." He kissed her cheek. "Good luck."

Sakura nodded, and with Syaoran inspiring words ringing in her head, she steped into the wrestling arena.
