Chapter Twenty: Combat Boots and Army Pants- Part Two- Flag One

Mei Lin looked down at Eriol on the ground and grinned.

"wasn't ready for that now was he?" she asked kicking his over so that he was on his back, she seemed to be studying his face for a moment before looking up at Sakura, "hey I remember him, didn't he…." Sakura nodded her head

"he said that he put some kind of spell on us so that we wouldn't remember him, something about being distracted by his studies." Mei Lin scowled

"oh Pashaw, he's making up stuff, and what could be so distracting that he wanted us to forget him?" Sakura just shrugged and turned her attention to the battle going on below her. Shaking her head she floated quickly down to help Sasha take care of a very persistent blue fighter. The boy grinned at her and ducked under a right jab before stepping back and crossing his arms over his chest.

"go ahead Sakura, have some fun" Sakura tilted her head to the side while waiting for her opponent to turn around and when they did their eyes widened in fear and they ran away saying they didn't do anything. Sakura shook her head and laughed.

Mei Lin pouted at Sakura who was on the ground looking up at her.

"what's wrong sad sack?" Sakura called up, the others were making quick work of their opponents so Sakura sat down on the ground to watch. Mei Lin sighed and grabbed Eriol by the arm and floated the both of them down to where Sakura and now Juji sat, she threw the unconscious blue fighter to the ground and plopped herself next to her friend.

Once the blue fighters had been `disposed of' the Chinese fighters came to sit with Sakura and the others, smiling at the way in which they had defeated their enemy.

"So what do we do now?" Rhu asked, looking around at the sprawled figures of the Australian fighters. Mei Lin shrugged, not really caring about what to do with their `enemy's. Sakura's eyes went wide and a silly grin found its way onto her face.

"I have the BEST idea" Sakura then started to shuffle around in her pack until she found what she was looking for…electrical tape. Mei Lin's mouth hung open.

"you brought that?" Xiaolang laughed and then went through his pack and brought out a real of thick black tape.

"well, you never know when you'll need it" Sakura said matter-of-factly. The others shook their heads but all helped out in placing the blue fighters around the trees while Sakura and Xiaolang taped them to the trees, making sure it was tight and that they wouldn't be able to get out unless someone cut them out.

After their fun Mei Lin, Kihan and Sakura all took photos of the whole process so that they could have some memories of their little fighting outing thing. Then gathering their things the red team headed off again, they needed to be ready to fight against the next team.

Tomoyo sat there looking at her nails, this was so boring. Teahing was now sitting with her, they had swapped two positions after two hours, that way it wasn't as long as the initial four hours. All had decided that Tomoyo couldn't go on watch because she was the leader and had to stay with the flag, she was just thrilled about that. Looking around herself Tomoyo noticed that they didn't really have that much cover if they got into trouble.

"Teahing, what kind of magic do you have?" Teahing turned his head towards Tomoyo and sighed.

"I have water and earth, why?" Tomoyo grinned and then turned around to call over Yulka and Fihyuw. The two of them hurried over and waited for Tomoyo to tell them why she had wanted them.

"I have an idea." The others nodded their heads in anticipation to what she was going to say. "Teahing here, has water and earth magic so… Teahing could you possible make a moat? And then rise the earth up higher?" Teahing's eyes widened in excitement and the others all laughed at Tomoyo's bright idea.

"I can do that and a little bit more" the others watched as the young boy rubbed his hands together ready to do his magic.

The judges watched the goings on with all three groups, there were nine judges, each one had their screens set on one particular group, three for the Chinese, three for the Australian and three for the American. The Chinese judges all gasped together and huddled closer.

"how marvellous, they are simply fantastic." The other judges looked up from what they were watching and leaned over to see that the home of the red group was now surrounded by a clearing that stretched for some time then a thick thorny barrier, and huge moat and then a cliff like thing. There were four fighters at different points on the cliff and each held in their hands a magical bow with lightning ready to shoot at anyone who tried to get close.

The other judges looked at the homes of their teams that they were watching and sighed, `where are all the smart ones?' they all thought frowning in disappointment.

~

It was night time, all three groups were resting, all in different places in the large forest, although the blue team was separated and they still had most of their team tied to trees. The red team was seated around a blazing blue fire that was curtesy of Ling who was roasting some marshmallows on a stick. The others were all grinning and telling each other stories that they had heard.

"I have a joke" Rai said his black hair flopping over his eyes. The others quietened down to listen to it. "There is this guy that walks into a bar, and he has a lisp, anyway he goes up to the bar tender and asks

`I there can I have a Gin and tonic?' the bartender nods his head and says

`that'll be sixty bucks' the guys is all shocked

`sixty bucks? Sixty bucks? Well I'm not having that, hmm how much does a Bourbon cost?'

` that's about hmm thirty' the guy again is shocked

`thirty bucks? How can it be thirty dollars? Well ok hmm how much does a lemonade cost?'

`hmm…well lets see…around fifteen bucks' the guy again goes into a rage before calming down enough to ask

`how about a water?'

`oh that's only three bucks' the guy thinks about it for a while before nodding his head in assent. The bartender gives him the water and is cleaning down the counter, the guy drinks his drink and goes to get up when the bartender speaks.

`I just want to thankyou for not paying me out about the hump on my back.' The guy stares at the hump as if shocked.

`that's a hump? I thought it was you butt, everything else is so high here'" Rai finishes his joke and everyone cracks up laughing because he did the voices so funnily. Fan Ren stands up to get every ones attention.

"I have one too…its in a bar as well, this guy comes prancing into the bar carrying a hand bag and singing twenty one today twenty one today, this guy sitting down at the table starts to laugh and says

`look at that fag' the guy singing hits the man that insulted him in the head with his hand bag and the guy gets knocked unconscious. The guy with the handbag then grins and starts to sing twenty two today twenty two today" Everyone laughs at that one as well finding it all very funny.

Sakura snuggles up to Xiaolang and yawns cutely while she grins at Fan Ren as she starts a game of Hawaiian Charades, her bum has a torch shining on it so that everyone can see what letter she is spelling out with it. It is a hilarious game and has everyone laughing their heads off.

Shiienpo glared at the bright lights of the city of India, he could feel his `masters' power pulling him, he was getting closer, and he would not stop until his `master' was no longer with the living.

The morning light brought about a chilly air as the fog that clung to the ground began to spread and then dissipate as the sun began to climb over the trees, signalling that it was going to be a beautiful day. The red team had started off at sunrise, wanting to at least get one flag before the end of the day, they only had two days left, this one included and so they wanted to make the most of it. Sakura leapt from tree to tree making it a game for her and Mei Lin as they wove in and out, circling the group and making sure that there were no other groups coming their way.

It was almost lunch time when Mei Lin spotted the green and white of the American group. Smiling she floated down and informed Xiaolang how far away it was. He called a quick time out in which everyone could have a rest, get something to eat…relieve themselves… and other things. Sakura quickly sat down and grinned at everyone, this was so much fun, she couldn't believe it. Everyone ate a quick meal, all were excited about another fight and hopefully they would be in the possession of a flag by the end of the day.

Once they were freshened up they moved out, they were only a few minutes away from the group and they couldn't wait to get their hands on the flag and were eager to release some of their stress by fighting.

~

Tomoyo spotted the first of the green group heading their way it wasn't easy to spot them but they did and she was grateful for the warning. She yelled out her orders and all of them got ready, four with the magical bows with lightning arrows and the others with their hands ready to fire magic.

~

The American's leader Cody looked on in awe at the massive fort like thing that the red teams flag was imbedded in. There was a clearing that they had to cross so their was no covering from being fired at. This was going to be hard as. He sighed, `why did we have to go this was?.'

~

The scouts were to stay in the trees, and to be the air attack, the others split up, making sure that they were paired, Ling went with the attacking group, just as back up. Sakura and Mei Lin smiled and waited with anticipation for the initial attack to begin. A war cry from Xiaolang started the entire mess of the whole magical attack and that was when they realised that the Americans had placed a magical shield around their home. The magical attacks bounced off the shield and went straight back to the ones that fired them, everyone placed up their own personal shields to block the attack and they looked around confused as to what to do. Xiaolang cursed and then signalling to everyone who was still hidden to attack, this would be a hand to had battle and the odds were in their favour.

~

Tomoyo grinned as she watched the green team rise into the air for an aerial attack on their home. She shook her head.

"do they really think were that stupid?" she asked her team they all shrugged back, their eyes on the approaching `enemies' they were ready and they wanted some action. Tomoyo called upon her magic as well as a few others, they sent out their attack, a mixture of shadow and moon magic…the battle ground was placed in darkness, and the Chinese team had the advantage.

~

Sakura and the others ran flat out, knowing full well that while there was a shield up then the other team couldn't attack them with any magical powers. Fan Ren and Xiaolang ran at the head of the attack, both held in their hands bow staffs, other weapons were not permitted as they would injure the opponent too harshly and even kill them. Mei Lin and Juji ran beside Sakura, they were ready for action and were not ones for being patient when there was a battle. Sakura and Xiaolang seemed to slow down momentarily before both ran faster then they had been before, both matching each others stride and for a split second their images seemed to flicker to that of a wolves, Xiaolang a pitch black colour and Sakura a snow white, then their images seemed to right themselves and the duo ran ahead, their eyes on their target, the strange ancient magic running through their blood giving them two primal instincts, one; stay close to the other, two; find and destroy the enemy.

~

Tomoyo smirked as her team lifted from the ground with precision and attacked the floundering green team who couldn't see through the darkness and Tomoyo had assumed correctly, only a few in their team knew light magic and therefore were the only ones that could see what was going on. Their enemy was taken down quickly and smoothly, only one of their numbers injured, but not too badly. Once they had their `enemy' grounded they quickly tied them up with some electrical tape that Tomoyo fund in her back pack, which she did not remember putting into her bag. Their opponents were tied to the thorny barrier, their weapons and provisions now belonged to the red team and the celebrated their victory with a bon fire and chocolate.

~

The fight was quick and furious, Xiaolang and Sakura worked with perfect synchronisation, their attacks, their blocks, everything they did was mirrored by the other, it was freaking their opponents and their team. The flag capture was quick as well, Mei Lin had secured it and once they had it captured Sakura and Xiaolang dug a hole in the ground and `planted' their opponents into the ground, only their heads could be seen. Sakura and Xiaolang then turned to each other and smiled, the exact same smile before going closer together nuzzling the other and going into a close embrace. Their team watched with a mixture of fear and wonderment.

"what is going on?" Mei Lin asked Fan Ren who just shrugged.

"beats me, but who cares, we got the flag didn't we?" Mei Lin nodded her head and smiled waving the flag in the air. "Its TIME TO CELEBRATE" she screamed, startling the couple and making them snarl at Mei Lin, Xiaolang moving forwards slightly before stopping and shaking his head as if to rid it of something, Sakura did the same. Both turned to face each other with worried looks.

"Its getting worse" Sakura shivered as Xiaolang wrapped her securely in his arms, rocking her back and forth, not taking any notice that the rest of the team moved away from them slightly, huddling up closer together, all shocked at the animalistic way in which they had just acted towards Mei Lin. Xiaolang looked over his shoulder at his sister, who nodded her head, and began to move the others around to get ready for the celebration, trying to get all their minds off of the disturbing scene of Sakura and Xiaolang acting like…predators.
