Chapter Three: Dance of A Journey Beginning
By Ranma Inverse
Author's notes: Thank you, reviewers (...in emails, anyway)! As promised, a new chapter to Dance of Hearts! Perhaps I have given you enough time on pondering the last, tiny, poor excuse for a chapter. ^.^
. . .
Sakura stepped lightly across the grass as she spread her arms out and twirled around. As she twirled around three times, her hands slowly came up to above her head, connecting. The two sashes, green and blue that waved around her moved slowly in the wind as she came to a stop and stood there for a few moments; then opened her eyes as her ears recognized the sound of someone clapping.
Eriol sat not but five feet away from her, casually seated on a rock. "Very well done," he smiled gently as Sakura blushed.
The Enfuido frowned as she ran over to them, almost panting out of breath. "Eriol, Sakura, get going back to the rest of the group. We're leaving sooner than I thought."
Something, or someone from the trees surrounding the clearing smiled calmly. Oh no you don't...you won't get away that easily. Running away just delays the inevitable.
"But why, Enfuido? Why are we leaving so soon? This place is so beautiful-" Sakura spoke, but became silent as Meiling waved a hand, meaning she was going to speak.
"Because I feel it. The air, the sky, it's going to storm here. We should leave just in case the storm will be too dangerous."
"Enfuido, you've never done this be-"
"Shut up! Sakura, listen to me. When I say something might be too dangerous and that we should leave, it will be too dangerous and we will leave. Don't protest. Pack up and then get into the same carraige Eriol and Tomoyo will be using. Mine."
Sakura's eyes widened, then gave their Enfuido a curtsy while Eriol bowed. "Very well, Enfuido."
. . .
Later, while they rode inside the carraige and Meiling rode outside with the driver, Sakura finally built up nerve to speak. "Tomoyo, Eriol..where do you think we're headed now?"
"Probably Tobinaro. It's the town closest to us," Tomoyo answered. She looked out one of the carraige windows and let out a small yawn, covering her mouth with a hand. "The moons out already."
Sakura was already asleep. The carraige bumped slightly as it came across rough parts in the road, and slowly, Sakura's head fell onto Eriol's shoulder. Tomoyo saw this and giggled, while Eriol smiled down at the angelic face framed by golden hair.
"Your friend is very honest. She must be even more amazing than I find her already." Eriol spoke softly, and Tomoyo nodded.
"Sakura is so cute! She's loyal and true, she's there for you..she has so many qualities to her, and none bad." Tomoyo said, equally soft.
The trio fell asleep as the moon came to the highest point it could in the sky, the area filled with sounds of the night.
All the while, someone followed.

I really MUST write longer chapters! oi! x.x
