Syaoran looked at the group of men in front of them. He wasn't completely sure what to do. He wondered whether he should help her, or if she was a convict and they were the good guys. Either way, he didn't know. He glanced back at the others, hoping they'd know what do. Fai did.
"And you might be?" Fai asked, his eyes closed with a smile on his face.
The girl looked over at Fai. "You really don't know?" She asked quietly.
The man in the front of the group smirked. If they didn't know, then they could use it to their advantage. "We're the law enforcement here. That little girl there is a thief." He said.
The group looked at the girl, whose eyes were wide now. "W-what! You are anything but!" She yelled in return.
The man kept his smile. "Now, if you could just hand the criminal over, we can give you a reward." He said, holding his hand out.
Fai turned to look at Syaoran, wondering what he would do. But much to his surprise he heard a 'Tch' from Kurogane. He blinked and looked at the ninja to see a smile on his face. "Kuro-tan?" He asked.
"Do you really believe them, Syaoran?" The ninja asked.
Syaoran didn't look away from the group of men in front of him. He slowly pulled his sword, hien, out and readied it. "No." He responded firmly.
Kurogane smirk and pulled out his sword as well. "Me neither."
The men all tensed a bit as the pulled out their assortment of weapons. The man in front pulled out his own sword. "I'm warning you now. Put down your weapons and give us the girl and we'll forgive this lawless action." He said.
Everything was still and not a single sound came from either group. Syaoran and Kurogane stood in a ready position, not faltering at all.
Fai realized this wasn't probably going to end peacefully and grabbed Sakura's arm. "Come on Sakura-chan." He said. He looked at the other girl. "You too. Come on."
The girl started walking towards them, but looked back at Kurogane and Syaoran. "But… what about them?" She asked.
Fai smiled. "They'll be fine. The puppy pair are stronger than they look. Let's just get to safety, hm?" He asked.
The girl nodded. "R-right…" She said and followed after Fai and Sakura. Mokona sat on Fai's head and looked back at Kurogane. "Go get 'em, Kuro-chan!"
"Tch." Was all Kurogane said in response to the nickname Mokona called him.
"Rrr… fine." The man said, straightening up. Syaoran and Kurogane loosened slightly wondering what he was doing. "Then I guess we have no choice…" He raised his sword above his head. "We'll just… Kill you first!" He yelled, slicing the sword down.
The sword was a sign for his men to attack, and that's what they did. They rushed forward, charging at the two males. A tall white haired man slashed down at Syaoran, but the boy was able to easily block it. He forced the man back into two other people. Another man rushed at him, but Syaoran just kicked him away.
Kurogane was having a very easy time himself. The men tried to surround him, but he just spun in a circle, his sword making contact with all of them. Within no time, Syaoran and Kurogane defeated all but their leader. Kurogane rested his sword on his shoulder and smirk. "Heh. Got anymore to fight?" He asked mockingly.
The man sweated a bit and took a step back. "This… isn't over yet! We'll get her and revenge! For now… RETREAT!" He yelled, running off. His men got up and ran as fast as they were able to after. Sakura came running out and glomped Syaoran.
"Syaoran-kun! Daijoubu desuka?" She asked, worriedly.
"Hai. I'm just fine." He said in returned. Fai came out after, the small girl behind him.
"Hyuuu Kuro-wanwan is so cool!" He piped.
Kurogane glared at him. "Who're you calling wanwan!" He yelled, glaring.
The girl smiled, and looked at the group. She bowed a bit before speaking. "Arigato Gozaimasu. I'm so grateful to you both." She said smiling wide. "If there's anything I can do to repay you…" She started.
Mokona jumped out. "Oh! We need a place too stay!" He piped.
The girl smiled brightly and nodded. "Of course! I can get you a place for free!"
