The men were pushing the cart, and Sakura could see a small village coming into view. Some villagers saw the cart

"Xiao Lang and the others are back!" They shouted with excitement. Two men started to open the large wooden gate to let them in. All the children shouted and squealed with joy as they ran up to the cart, to see Xiao Lang.

"Wow!" one the kids said, while running with cart.

"Look at all those sacks of rice!" another child said.

Sakura was silent, as she was looking at the whole village. All the villagers were staring at her strangely and whispering things, Sakura was beginning to feel really uncomfortable. Based on their clothes and houses,

"The civil war era?" Sakura concluded. The cart began to slow down,

"Xiao Lang, you're back!" a man said.

"Father!" Xiao Lang said, as he he hopped off the cart, when it stopped, and ran up to his dad.

"Who's the woman?" His father asked as he glanced over at Sakura.

"Oh her?" Xiao Lang said as Sakura realized they were talking about her. Xiao Lang gently took her off the cart and set her on the ground.

"I found her on the battlefield," Xiao Lang said as if she was some new toy.

"Actually, I didn't get her name yet," Xiao Lang said as his father and Xiao Lang both stared at Sakura, waiting for an answer as she just stared back at them.

"Well? What's your name?" Xiao Lang said harshly, getting annoyed. Sakura jumped a little a bit and paused a bit,

"S-sakura, it's written as cherry blossom," Sakura finally said.

"You heard her," Xiao Lang said as his father began to walk away. A little girl with auburn hair in pink kimono, came rushing up to them,

"Xiao Lang!" said the little girl.

"Oh, Ying Fa," Xiao Lang said as he picked her up. Ying Fa squealed with happiness as he lifted her high in the air, he gently put her back and he smiled as pat her head. Sakura blushed slightly at how beautiful his smile was.

"Have you been a good girl?" Xiao Lang said as he was ruffling her hair. Ying Fa energetically nodded her head.

"I brought you a present," Xiao Lang said as untied the bell strapped to his armor, and handed to the little girl. Ying Fa took it very carefully as if it was the most fragile little thing, and held it to her heart.

"It's pretty!" Ying Fa said admiring it. She held it up to show Xiao Lang, and he chuckled softly as he was poking it to make the tinkling noise, Ying Fa giggled as she ran off bouncing the bell around to make the noise.

As night fell, some of the men from the village including, Xiao Lang and Sakura, were having some of the rice as they were discussing some things.

"So we need a fence around the village. We can start tomorrow," one of the men stated.

"Is Akauma really going to attack?" one of the other men worriedly said.

"Probably," a chubby man said, as the other villagers looked at each other as they were chatting away.

"This fool got away with looting," one of the men said talking about Xiao Lang.

"That's true," a village man said.

"You jerk!" a man said.

"Your're supposed to be protecting this village," a skinny man said, as he accusingly pointed a finger at Xiao Lang.

"Nobody told you to go out stealing," an elderly man said.

"Right, so where do you think this rice came from?" Xiao Lang said getting irritated. Some of the men looked down and started to gobble down the rice, and glared at Xiao Lang.

"You're living easy on what we steal for you," Xiao Lang said.

"You're worse than those thieves," Xiao Land harshly said.

"Everyone carries part of the blame," Eriol intelligently said.

"But....," the villagers said as they were looking at each other.

"It's too late for second thoughts, we have to protect the village," Xiao Lang's father stated.

Sakura was staying in some villager's house and she was leaning against the corner near door where she can look out towards the sky, she hasn't talked to anyone since dusk fell.

"Xiao Lang, found something strange this time," a women said to her friends while they were glancing at Sakura.

"Look at her clothes!" one women with long hair exclaimed, as Sakura looked at her uniform.

"She's so silent, it''s creepy!" another women chatted.

Sakura held an a emotionless face, she didn't what to do, say, eat or anything! She was so confused, right now. She began to battle questions inside her head.

'Time slip...,' Sakura thought,'from the shock of the explosion?'. Sakura heaved a long sigh.

'I want a bath,' Sakura thought, as her eyelids began to droop, her last final thought was,

'When I wake up, everything will be back to normal....' Sakura slumped a bit and was fast asleep.
