~*What Ice Can Do*~

Syaoran Li dodged the cards attack for the third time in a row. He cursed at himself for coming out here without phoning Sakura first, he'd never dreamed that the card would be one of the most powerful ones in the deck. It was "The Ice Card" and it was more dangerous than most of the elemental cards, this card actually tried to hurt you..or kill you. It had a similar name to his "Freeze" card, but this one had a human form and flung ice shards at you. "Time to quit running.." He murmered, spinning around and calling his fire spirit for its aid. Red and orange flames burst out of the talisman and headed straight for the card. His amber eyes widened in surprise as the card held up it's pale hands and made the fire dissapear into thin air.

Syaoran stuffed the card back into his jean pocket, he had not changed into his robes as he had been for a walk when he had sensed the cards presence. He'd been fortunante enough to have had his sword and cards with him, he carried them everywhere...just in case.

Syaoran searched desperately for another card but "The Ice" attacked him again. Knowing that there was no time to dodge, he quickly flung his sword out in front of him in a futile attempt to block the ice shards that sped towards him. He somehow managed to slice threw all of them, all but one that is. The last ice shard smashed into his sword with amazing force, causing him to lose his grip on it. His sword flew out of his hands, skidded across the pavement and landed in some shrubs.

The card knew that most of Syaoran's power was within' the sword and chose this time to charge towards him, it's eyes glowed white as it got ready to use it's most powerful attack.

Syaoran started to run towards the shrubs but noticed that the card was charging him with incredible speed. The only thought that crossed his mind was, "Run!" So that's what he did. He ran as fast as his legs would let him, the card only feet behind. He suddenly skidded to a halt as he neared a cliff. He looked over it and gulped, there was a rocky over hang that jutted out the side of it, but it was about thirty feet down. Below that was dark, foaming sea water. He'd NEVER make it. Clenching his fists, he slowly backed away. He was in trouble..BIG time.

The card held out it's palms and shot a single ice shard at the boy, it had seen the cliff and had formed an idea. It hoped it would work, it needed to save it's energy for the other magical being. (A/N-Sakura..du'h)

Syaoran felt a deep pain sear through his left shoulder. Something had hit him with incredible force, causing him to topple right over the cliff. He yelled out in surprise and terror as he fell towards the rocky ground and dark water. He frantically groped for anything he could reach with his good arm and managed to place his hand on a rocky ledge, a very small, rocky ledge.

Syaoran could feel the cards aura nearing the cliff's edge. He pushed himself right up against the rocky wall, hid his aura, and held his breath. After what seemed like hours, but was only minutes, the card left. He waited for the cards entire aura to dissapear before he allowed himself to relax..slightly.

"This is just great." Syaoran muttered. "I should of at least phoned Sakura first." He sighed, angry at himself. He was going to..but he planned on calling her once he found the card. He'd been so surprised when he found out what card it was that he forgot to phone her. When he had remembered, the card had already attacked him, he didn't have the time to pull his cell phone out and dial a number. Not with sharp ice shards flying at him.

Syaoran looked up at the sky, it was starting to cloud over. A stinging pain could still be felt in his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder to find that it was bleeding profusedly. "An ice shard must of hit me...." He muttered, figuring that it must of dissapeared once it hit him. "I'm so screwed." He muttered after an hour had passed. His arm was starting to ache and he could smell rain in the air.

Syaoran turned his attention to other things...like a certian emerald eyed beauty. He had never really liked Sakura when he first came here...but she had somehow melted the ice incased around his heart. She had mended the scars that he got juring all those years of training in China. And she had somehow captured his heart in a way no one could. He was in love with her and he didn't care what his okaa-san or anyone thought. There was only one problem, he hadn't told her...he'd been too afraid of rejection.

"It dosen't look like I'll even see her again, much less tell her." Syaoran muttered, his grip on the ledge was starting to loosen with each passing minute. He suddenly felt a rain drop on his face. That raindrop was followed by several more, soon it was pouring. Thunder could be heard and lightning could be seen more often.

Syaoran struggled to keep his grip on the now slippery ledge. It seemed that death was only minutes away. He wondered how his family would take his it. They'd probably pay their respects and try and find a new future leader for the clan...totally forgetting him. Meling and Wei would be the only ones who would care. His thoughts turned to his friends, Takashi, Sakura, Tomoyo....he was unsure how each of them would take it...he never really was very sociable or friendly. Touya and Kero would probably throw a party.

There was suddenly a loud bang of thunder, disturbing Syaoran's thoughts of death. He knew that no one would come looking for him. Wei wouldn't expect him back until late tonight and no one would be walking by in this weather.

Three hours had passed and the cold rain was starting to take its toll. Syaoran groaned and tried to hold his grip on the ledge, but all he wanted to do was sleep. A sudden flash of fork lightning startled him, causing him to lose his grip. He cried out in terror as his hand slipped away from the ledge, causing him to fall towards the rocky over hang and deep water.

Syaoran hit the rocky surface. His body went limp as the rain started to lessen. The thunder and lightning started to lack it's meaning. No one noticed the limp body over the cliff.

~*~*~

Sakura Kinomoto suddenly awoke with a gasp. She glanced at her alarm clock and groaned, it wasn't even 3am yet. Kero flew out of his cuboard and asked sleepily, "Is everything okay Sakura??"

Sakura looked at the guardian beast with great affection and said, "I thought I sensed a clow card." Kero looked at her, very surprised and replied, "I didn't sense anything." "Your probably right Kero...it was probably just a dream" Sakura sighed as she lay beack down, snuggling into the covers.

"How are you feeling by the way?" Kero asked. Sakura turned to him tiredly, she had had a fever today and had been feeling sick. "I'm great now...night Kero..." She murmered, falling asleep. The guardian beast smiled and flew back to his cuboard...a loud snoring could soon be heard from it.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Okay that was the first chappy. I know it was short peeps. But I think it was good...don't you?? Oh just in case you don't know...Sakura cannot sense a clow card when she's really sick. Lets just pretend okay? Oh and Kero was to much into his game..thats why he didn't sense it either.

REVIEW PLEASE!
