"Whoops?" Syaoran nervously laughed.

"We're lost."

Normal POV

Syaoran and Sakura have been walking for another 30 minutes.

"Dammit! It's no use! No matter how long we walk, we will never get out of here! And it's all your fault!" Sakura shouted.

"Hey! We had this conversation ages ago! Like I said, it's not my fault that you followed me. Come on, let's walk for a few more minutes."

"(Sigh) Fine!" Sakura followed Syaoran.

"Hey! I think I see something!" Syaoran ran to where he was pointing. Sakura followed him.

"A cave? Come on, I'm not going in there. What if there are wild animals inside?" Sakura said nervously.

"Well, I'll take the chance. Besides, where will we sleep tonight?" Syaoran went inside the cave.

"Wait!" Sakura quickly followed him.

"Wow! It's so dark in here! I can barely see anything!" Syaoran went to observe the place.

"Hey! Where are you? Don't leave me alone!" Sakura held her hands out to reach for him.

"Hey, do you have a torch?" Syaoran ran through his bag.

"No." Sakura sat down.

"So, we're stuck." Syaoran was about to sit down when he saw something.

"Hey! I see some sticks. Maybe they are made of wood!" He ran over to get them.

"It better be. I'm cold and it's too dark here."

"Yay! They are made of wood! I can light a fire now." He took the sticks, and put one stick in each of the corners of the room.

"There! That will make the room brighter." he started to rub the pieces of wood together. Nothing happened.

"Why doesn't this work?" he started rubbing harder, but still nothing happened.

"Oh, let me do it! I have a better idea." Sakura took one of the sticks outside the cave.

She walked to a spot of light, and took her glasses off. She put the glasses at an angle, and let the light go through it. The light moved to the

top of the stick. It began to burn. It was lit.

"There! That's how you do it. Now I've just got to do the rest." Sakura ran inside to get the other sticks.

"Hey, but I thought you needed your glasses? How could you see it?"

"No, I don't need my glasses. I'm only a bit short sighted, but I wear them all the time." Sakura did the same with the rest. She put them in each

of the corners of the room.

Syaoran stared at Sakura. He was again caught by the beauty of her. 'So what if she's beautiful? She's still the same person I met a week ago.'

But still, he couldn't take his eyes off her. The room was silent, until Syaoran spoke up.

"I was just wondering. What happened to us? One minute we hated each other, then we were friends, and then we hated each other again.

What happened in our skiing trip? All I know was that hen I woke up, we started throwing insults at each other." He stared at Sakura.

"I could ask you the same thing. I know why I was angry at you, but I don't know why YOU were angry at ME."

"Why were you angry at me then?"

"I thought that we could actually be friends, but I heard what you said to your friend. Your plan." Syaoran's eyes shot open. 'She heard me?'

"Well, I only said that because my friends were making fun of me. So I lied. And I was angry at you because I heard what you said to your

friend." this time it was Sakura's turn to be shocked. 'He heard me?'

"Well, me too. I was being teased by my friends, and so I lied too." She stared at Syaoran.

"So, friends?" Syaoran put out his hand.

"Friends." she shook his hand. A rumble was heard outside. They both looked outside. A brown figure came in.

"AHH!" they both screamed. It was a bear.

The bear growled and came charging towards Sakura. Sakura screamed and covered herself with her arms. She waited for the pain to come. But

it didn't. She opened her eyes. Syaoran was right in front of her, covered in deep slashes.

"Syaoran!" she went over to him. "You're hurt!"

"Hey, you called me Syaoran." he smiled weakly.

"Oh, I meant Li."

"It doesn't matter. You can call me Syaoran."

"Okay, then you can call me Sakura."

"Deal." he stood up, and held out his pocket knife. He ran over to the bear, and slashed it a few times. But the bear continued to charge

towards them. Syaoran took his knife, and slashed it a few more times. The bear reached out for Syaoran, but he dodged it. He was frustrated

now. He decided to end it now. He charged at the bear, and slit its throat. As the bear fell, it caught Syaoran, making more deep cuts in him.

Syaoran dropped his knife to the floor, and collapsed. Sakura ran over to him.

"Are you okay?" she went over to her bag, and pulled out a first aid kit.

"Yeah, I guess. Plus, we have dinner tonight." he smirked.

"Ew! I'm not going to eat bear meat! Anyway, thanks." she bandaged his arm where he was injured.

"For what?"

"Saving me." she smiled as she finished putting on the last bandage. Syaoran blushed.

'She's so kind. She is like a fallen angel from the sky. What did I just say! (Sigh) I better face the facts. I like her.'

I've changed this chapter, because before, it was boring, and short. I hope you will like this one. Remember, R&R!
