~* Author Notes *~ Hey everyone, I'm back with a third fic! I would have continued Tough Lovin' but no one was reviewing after I had posted up chapter five and six, so I thought I would come out with something different. Or at least I hope it's different, at least everyone at my school thinks it's a big hit so far. ^_^ I've even gotten threats if I don't do at least two chapters a day but I can only do one chapter a day because finals are coming up. But on Christmas Break, I'll have at last two chapters a day written up and typed. R&R!!!

Disclaimer ~*~ This will be the only time I will say that I don't own CCS. So please don't sue, I'm too poor to be sued.

Just to let you know, this is set back into medieval times sorta kinda. and that it's set in Sakura's P.O.V. Tina thought I should let you guys know.

Special thanks to Binyaile and Jessica for editing for me, cause they know my english is horrible.

Chapter One

I pushed aside a hanging wall of weeds and stepped out of the cave I had hid in during the storm from last night. I could hear the birds sing and the bugs and insects as well.

Kero flew to my ear and sat on my shoulder. "That was one heck of a storm!" All I could do was agree with him s I looked at our surroundings. I know t his sounds wimpy but I could feel tears forming in my eyes, but sensitive people like me can't stand seeing animals hurt. Almost everywhere I turned around I saw poor and helpless animals on the ground hurt from fallen trees.

"Kero, go find me some healing herbs," I commanded as I began gathering bark from the fallen trees. After I had gathered enough bark for splints, I began tearing strips of cloth from my skirt and shirt. (Binyaile said it sounded like it was turning into a porn -_-. She's so one minded.) I heard Kero sigh before he flew away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mother is going to kill me!" I cried when I noticed how much of my skirt and shirt was left. Not much if you're wondering. You could see my stomach and a super large portion of my legs! I'll never live through this day!

"You shouldn't have ripped your clothes up Sakura," Kero said sitting on my shoulder as I climbed over a fallen tree. Leave it to Kero to state the obvious.

"But they were hurt!" I cried. Kero of all people should know how deeply I care about nature. "Oh well, this does make it easier to travel.

We - well me anyway - walked on for another thirty minutes or so before we finally reached the clearing of the forest.

"Watch out!" a voice warned. We turned toward the speaker and saw a group of rough looking men heading toward us. (Binyaile said this sounded like a porn to. She just has to make things difficult -_-).

A man, who in my opinion was the filthiest looking one of all, was riding in front of the group. I wasn't sure.but I think he was smiling at me and then before I realized it I'm being swept up and tossed onto his shoulder like a bag of dirty laundry! Talk about rude!

"Hey put me down!" I shouted to him.

"Not a chance sweetheart." Sweetheart? Why that--? "And there's no use in screaming unless you wanna be thrown off a cliff.

"You wouldn't dare!" I shouted trying to turn and see the face of my captor, and believe me that's one heck of a job!

"Oh wouldn't I" he asked me in mock. (I seriously wanted to make this a cliffhanger, but I got like ten threats in five seconds when I mentioned the idea so I'm going to keep going!) He took a sharp turn to I think the right and lucky for me if he didn't have the tight grip around my waist like he does now, t hen I would have been thrown.

After a few minutes they came to a stop and I found my self being held over a cliffs edge! All I could do was scream, there was no way in the world I could hold that in!

"Rocky wait!" I recognized that voice. it was the same voice that had told me to 'watch out' before I got kidnapped.

I heard his footsteps come closer to my hanging body as I closed my eyes to pray to God to keep me safe.

Then I felt the most comforting thin. Strong yet gentle hands wrapped around me and pulled me back to safety, but I still had my eyes closed until my feet touched solid ground. "Are you alright?" the voice asked. I looked up and saw the owner of the voice and I nearly fainted! For one, I have never been that close to a boy before and I had never seen such intense eyes before. What really shocked me the most was his dark chocolate colored hair! (Binyaile -Syaoran's hair isn't edible). Not even the other people in the group he was in had hair as messy as him. (Binyaile - hahaha, Syaoran got nappy locks! Ghetto Princess - smacks Binyaile he doesn't have nappy locks! He has sexy hair.) I had to admit though, he was really good looking. "I-I'm fine.I think," I told him. In through my heart was pounding! I can't remember the last time I was so scared.but then again no one has ever tired to throw me over a cliff before.

"Humph! Feisty little wench she is!" Rocky said still sitting on his black and brown horse. I gasped and looked at him. "Excuse me?" I asked putting my hands on my hips as I glared at him.

"So is she the one?" asked a female voice. I turned and looked at the girl who had spoken. She had long black hair almost touching her feet and like the boy, who had saved me, she had these intense amber eyes.

"Yup this is her alright," said Rocky jumping off his horse and landing in front of me with all his funky body odor. "Just look at her!" he said grabbing the four pins I had to keep my hair in a bun.

"Hey!" I shouted reaching for my hairpins. I felt my hair come rushing down to the dewy grass.

"Only she could have hair as soft looking as the legend says!" he told the girl completely ignoring me.

"Humph, if you ask me she looks like a tramp. Just look at the clothes she's wearing," the girl pointed out.

"I'm not a tramp! I got caught in the storm and I was tending to the wounded animals this morning on my way out of the forest. Since I didn't have anything to use for bandages, I used my skirt and my shirt." My mother would throw the biggest fir known to mankind if she saw me like this! That is if I even get to see her again.

"Boss! Another sign that she's the one!" cried another disgusting male. Lord only knows how much I don't wanna be here!

"She's still a tramp in my eyes," the girl said. On a second thought, I don't wanna leave until I beat the living daylights out of that wench!

"Melin, will you knock it off already?" the boy with messy hair said. "I'm sure we can find a suitable dress for you miss," he told me as he bowed.

"Thank you.but my dress isn't really worrying me to much a the moment. I'm really worried about my.stuffed animal I dropped back there," I blabbed out. Great this is only giving that Melin chick something more to say crap about me.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Melin shouted as she busted out laughing.

"It was a gift from my father before he died!" I said defensively. I don't know if that's true or not. I didn't know my father or my mother, even though I live with her.but that doesn't mean a thing. (Tell me about it).

"Don't worry yer pretty head off," Rocky told me handing my hair pins back to me. "We'll get yer toy back fer ya." AS if my life couldn't get any more screwy this weirdo goes from rude to decent. What's next I wonder.

~* Well, I finished my first chapter! Yeah! N E WAZ, I know that in the last fic I said no next chapter until at least five reviews. Well, this time I mean it! R&R PLEASE S&S E&T FOREVER
