Chapter Four
When the broad-shouldered man with long black hair tidily tied in a low ponytail the land a stern, handsome face waded through the angry crowd to her rescue, Sakura had never been so happy to see anyone in her life. For as long as she could recall, she'd secretly hankered for a chivalrous protector like Tristan or Sir Gawain from the old Welsh hero tales. Her knees grew weak as she pictured the stranger sweeping her into his arms and carrying her off to safety.
Those soaring fancies crashed to earth when instead her gallant rescuer grabbed her by the arm and began ranting at her in a language she could not understand. The harshness of his tone and the severity of his stark only gaze did not frighten her the way the sullen hostility of the crowd had. Instead it ignited a blaze inside her, part indignant anger, part a strange fevered yearning she'd never felt before.
Compared to the native Asians, he appeared tall and imposing. He wassmartly dressed in buff-coloured trousers and a tan coat. A wide-brimmed straw hat cast a shadow over his straight, jutting nose and chiseled cheekbones. His lips were neither too full nor too thin, but set in such a rigid line that Sakura fancied they might shatter if he tried to smile.
U"Let me go!" She struggled to throw off his iron grip, but couldn't quite manage to. "It's no use jabbering on at me that way, for I don't understand aword you're saying. You've got no call to be vexed with me and neither do any of these people!"
Her bold words did a better job of loosening his grasp than her squirming had. Leaning towards her, he muttered, "Save your protests and come with me, now, while there's a chance we might get away in one piece! If you give me any more backtalk, I swear I'll leave you to your fate."
The insistent pressure of his hand and the urgency of his tone convinced Sakura abandon her defensive position against the wall. She sensed he was a man of strong will, whom others crossed at their peril.
From the moment she'd first glimpsed him striding towards her, she'd had eyes for no one else. Now, as her forbidding rescuer marched her down the street, Sakura suddenly realized he'd brought Kaien and the other lads with him.
