Okies, here's the new chapter everyone! Sorry for not updating for such a long time (was it long though? I didn't keep track of the time ^__^) so I hope that this chapter is long enough to make up for the delay. Just to let you guys know…writing this fan fic isn't a piece of cake, I have to research the Latin and Greek words for this chap and it's starting to take a toll on me so if anyone asks me to update quickly, I won't update. My left shoulder is in pain due to the amount of time I spent doing the first two chapters so please be grateful for it. Thank you for read this bit.

I want to thank those for reviewing:

- OCD girl

- Akemi-sempai

- silver wolf12

Anyways, onwards with the chapter!

Chapter Two

Mei Lin got to the centre of the gym and faced her opponent with her crimson red eyes, analysing for any weakness which might be shown before the battle. Kiyokawa Akane was average heighted with short brown hair and muddy brown eyes. She scanned Mei Lin from head to toe, making mental notes on Mei Lin's appearance. Akane is a mage with the element of earth, which means that she can tear down a building of any size with just flick of her finger, which gave her the reputation "Mage of Destruction" and is slightly feared among the students in class.

"Begin!"

Akane immediately disappeared in flash when those words left Terada-sensei's mouth which surprised Mei Lin for a bit before she sensed something blunt, yet powerful, coming towards the back of her head. Acting upon intuition and instinct, she ducked down and did a sweep kick, which caused Akane to fall down onto her back and release her weapon, which turned out to be a dagger. Akane couldn't stand being on the ground, she was the Mage of Destruction! So now she'll teach Mei Lin a little lesson; with a plan formed in her mind, Akane smirked as she finalised it.

"Rise!" said Akane through clenched teeth. There was a low rumbling sound and the floor boards began to tremble as though there was an earthquake. The whole building shook violently as the floor boards began to crack with a sickening 'crunch!' and the whole class began to panic, except for Li Syaoran and Hiiragizawa Eriol as they kept still and calm in their seats. The same cannot be said for Sakura, as she clutched onto the bench tightly which showed how white her knuckles were. Bits of metal were falling from the roof, with one of the pieces narrowly missing her head. She gave out a quick sigh of relief before she muttered a summoning spell, "Voco," she whispered.

"Shield!" she said as one of her cards appeared before her, "Protect the people here from harm!"

With a soft glow from the card as it rose up into the air, the card changed its shape as it expanded before the glow died away and revealed a transparent shield above the class. Sakura watched as bit of scrap metal from the room bounced of the shield before she gave out another sigh of relief and released her tight grip on the bench. She noticed that someone was staring at her and she turned to the side and widened her eyes slightly when she saw that it was Li Syaoran who was staring at her. The moment when their eyes were locked to each other, Syaoran turned away, breaking his gaze on her. Sakura turned back and looked at her lap, going sightly red from embarrassment.

BOOM!

The ground shook once more and Sakura saw some menacing vines coming out from the ground and it shot its way towards Mei Lin. Mei Lin narrowed her eyes and started to think at a rapid speed. She had three options: keep on dodging the vines, take on the vines or let the vines land a blow on her.

Mei Lin's POV

Okay, I have three options and I need to decide fast. I can either keep on dodging the vines; take on the vines with attacking spells or let those vines land a blow on me. Before I can analyse each option, once of the vines was above my head. Cursing for my lack of concentration, I dodged the incoming blow by using my quick speed and ran to the right side of the vines. Gosh…these vines are starting to piss me off, they're so annoying but what can you expect from an Earth element mage? Well…I've decided, even if this decision is wrong, I'll still go ahead of it. I took a deep breath can decided to chose option number two. Take on the vines with attacking spells. I closed my eyes and raised both of my arms.

"Apoballô, ampelitis!" I muttered as I see dark orbs slowly forming in both of my palms before I faded away. I smirked, it would be a few seconds before the spell would start taking place on the vine and victory would surely be mines. I watched as the speed of the vines became slower and I immediately made my move, it would be wise to put those vines down before Akane notices anything wrong with it.

"Appareo, Kanben!" I muttered again, and watched as my sword appeared in my right hand. I then grasped it together with my left hand and held it to the right as I ran forward towards the vine. Before Akane could react, I swung my right hand, which held onto the sword, up towards the offending vines and sliced through it neatly. I snuck a quick glance at Akane, she's shocked and watched as her expression turn foul when she realised that all her vines started to drop one by one, evidently dead. I smirked again, I'm satisfied with the result however, and it was not enough. I narrowed my eyes again when I saw Akane straightening up, I prepared for the attack.

"Terra moenia, ortus!" said Akane with an evil smirk plastered on her face. Shit, this is going to be bad. I back-flipped away from Akane as far as possible and began chanting out a counter spell. Akane was going to destroy the gym with that spell because that spell only raise earth barriers, which can destroy anything on top of it.

"Admêtis adelphos of terra, subvenio me desiit the ortus of the moenia!" I cried out as the wooden panels on the floor started to snap open, allowing the hard rocky wall of earth to rise. I clenched my jaws together and aimed the spell towards the ceiling, "Origo!"

I saw the goddess of Earth rush out of my outstretched right palm and shot up into the air. She then snaked her way around the rising walls, allowing her right hand to touch each wall gently before fading into the atmosphere. I looked to my classmates; they seemed unhurt, with Sakura's shield protecting them all. I smiled with relief, before turning my attention towards the walls which Akane had produced. Slowly, the walls started to fade and the broken wood panels starting to mend themselves, leaving Akane with pure anger. I can tell that I had actually humiliated her big-time, by breaking her spells and dodging her attacks, I had pretty much stripped away her reputation with my counter-attacks and now she's really pissed. Before Akane could retaliate, the whistle blew and we turned to Takeda-sensei.

"Alright, that'll be enough for you two," he said, "Kinomoto-san; could you please fix up the gym?"

Sakura nodded and raised her right arm in the air, "Renovo!" she called out and with a sudden blast from the wind, the whole gym was repaired. I looked towards Sakura; it seemed that the spell had taken a lot of energy from, as she slumped back onto her seat. Tomoyo must've noticed as well, because she placed her hand onto Sakura's forehead and felt her temperature.

"You are lucky Li-san, but I'm afraid that you have pretty much picked the wrong opponent here," said Akane with a smirk, "I may have lost but you won't be so lucky next time."

I just ignored her when I went back to my seat next to Sakura, I was worried for her.

"Are you alright Sakura-chan?" I asked her as I placed my hand onto her forehead. My eyes widened in shock, her forehead was warmer than usual, which means that she has a fever! But no matter how many times both Tomoyo and I tried to tell her to visit the nurse's office, Sakura remained stubborn saying that she's fine and that there was nothing wrong with her. In the end, Tomoyo and I gave up. Both sighing in dismay, we waited for the next pair.

Normal POV

"Alright, next up is Daidouji Tomoyo-san and Yanagisawa Hideki," said Terada-sensei. Tomoyo gave out a quiet sigh as she got up from her bench and walked towards the middle of the gym, waiting for her opponent to arrive. Yanagisawa Hideki gave Tomoyo a smirk when they both made eye contact, with Tomoyo smiling back to him. Yanagisawa Hideki had unruly pitch black hair, almost rival to Li Syaoran's, and pearl grey eyes which showed that he's a full blooded demon born from the higher class. Tomoyo analysed him as Mei Lin did with Kiyokawa Akane. She noticed that he had a scar on his left hand, which she guessed was from a previous fight, possibly outside of school hours. It can be an advantage, thought Tomoyo as she observed him more; however, he must've improved that movement in that arm in case anyone aimed at it. This will be trick; I will need to keep my eyes open during the battle.

"Begin!"

Tomoyo raised her right arm up midway, Just in case, she thought as she began to recite the chant she knew all too well, "Sutaffu no Mizu!"

She watched as water appeared out of the atmosphere and formed a staff in her hand. Once the shaped has been formed, she twirled it above her head and pointed it to Hideki with a determined look in her eye.

"Necto," said Tomoyo and the water spirit shot out of her staff and began to bind Hideki with a series of waves. Tomoyo narrowed her eyes, something was off. All of a sudden, she sensed that someone or something appeared behind her. Tomoyo immediately directed the water spirit behind her, earning a surprised yelp underneath the masses of floating water. She turned around and smiled politely at her captive.

"Yanagisawa-kun, you need to do better than that if you wish to harm me," said Tomoyo, earning a smile in return from Hideki.

"Thank you for the advice, Daidouji-san," he said, before becoming a pile of water. He disappeared. Tomoyo kept smiling as she gave her staff a slight jerk from its original direction.

"Evaporate," she said and the air around her suddenly grew drier and harsher as Hideki faded into sight and dropped onto the floor. Hn…he's good at concealing himself isn't he? thought Tomoyo as she continued to smile at him, I think I found a weak spot; it seems that my earlier judgement is incorrect. She pointed her staff to his left arm, where his scar is evident, and muttered an inaudible spell towards him. The water spirit reappeared and disappeared. Silence reigned the hall as the whole class watch to see what would happen next. Tension was mounting, with Sakura silently praying that Tomoyo would be alright. Then, Hideki gave out a piercing yell which caught the attention of Eriol Hiiragizawa and Li Syaoran towards her. His left arm's scar was being pierced opened and blood was pouring out everywhere onto the ground. Tomoyo immediately felt a wave of guilt, and decided to apologise to him when she healed him after the match.

"Accelero," she muttered and disappeared in an blink of an eye. A second passed by and Tomoyo appeared right behind Hideki with a dagger placed next to his neck, as if she's about of decapitate him. Hideki sighed when he felt the cool blade being placed gently on his neck.

"I wield," he said and walked back to his seat, clutching his left arm.

"Wait Yanagisawa-kun," said Tomoyo as she ran towards him, "I'm sorry about your left arm, so I'll patch it up for you. Will that be alright with you?"

Hideki smiled warmly to Tomoyo, causing her to blush slightly, "If you want to, then I suppose you can," he said as he stuck out his bloody left arm. Tomoyo then placed her right hand over the open wound, pressing it gently. "Heal," she whispered and a soft glowing light moved across his wound, healing it at a steady pace. When the arm was healed, Hideki smiled broadly at Tomoyo, "Thank you, Daidouji-san," he said before going back to his seat. Tomoyo let out a relieved sigh as she walked back to her seat, and slumped down next to Sakura.

"That was quick Tomoyo-chan," said Mei Lin as she leant forward to speak to her. Sakura gave out a slight groan, causing Tomoyo and Mei Lin to frown in worry.

"Are you sure that you're alright Sakura-chan?" asked Tomoyo worried as she felt Sakura's forehead again. As her hand touched her forehead, she withdrew it back immediately, startled with the heat, "Sakura-chan! Your forehead's burning!"

"I'm fine," said Sakura with a smile but Mei Lin saw that she was actually sweating slightly.

"No you're not," said Mei Lin, "You're sweating!"

"Must be the heat ne?"

Tomoyo sighed; arguing with Sakura was like arguing with a rock. She's stubborn, thought Tomoyo, If she lets out any sign of feeling unwell, I will take her to the nurse's office by sheer force if I had to!

"Alright," said Tomoyo in defeat, "But I'll drag you to the nurse's office if I catch you being unwell again. Even if I have to force you, alright?"

Sakura nodded, still smiling at both of her friends but they saw how tired her eyes were but didn't bring the issue up, since Sakura would just deny it all again. Takeda-sensei cleared his throat to get the whole class's attention and the whole class went deadly silent.

"That's all for today's lesson," he said, looking at everyone, "We will continue this next lesson. You are dismissed."

Everyone started talking again as they all got up and walked out of the gym, gossiping about the matches and who outshone the who. As Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Sakura walked passed a group of students, the heard snippets of their conversation.

"Kinomoto-san was definitely the best," said a girl with bushy brown hair.

"I thought Daidouji-san was excellent though," said another girl with wavy black hair.

"Well, I still think that Li-san was better," said the third girl, "Li Mei Lin of course."

Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Sakura smiled at each other, giggling silently as they walked to their lockers, getting ready for their next class. Tomoyo had art next so she headed off early to set up her canvas painting she was doing for the class project. Mei Lin had English so she ran all the way to the opposite building so that she wouldn't be late for class because she had to finish reading her book. Sakura was less than happy with her next class; she had Maths, the only subject she didn't do well at. She gave out a defeated sigh as she grabbed her Maths text book and started to walk down the hallway, cursing her never-ending stream of bad luck. Ugh…why am I so tired today…, she thought as she turned right, maybe it's because I used most of my energy to keep Shield there to protect everyone…

Slowly, her vision started to blur and she got dizzy. After taking a couple of steps, Sakura leaned against the wall for support before her vision got worse and she slid down. W-what's happening to me? she thought in panic, why am I getting dizzy?

She gave out a silent groan as she struggled to stand up again but when she got close to succeeding, her head started to hurt. Finally collapsing down onto the floor with an aching body, she tried to distinguish her surroundings but her vision was blurry and she couldn't recognise anything. Her breaths got heavier and heavier, the pain in her body got worse and her vision blurred even more as her eyelids got heavier. I'm so tired…, she thought weakly, I…feel…like…sleeping…

Slowly, her world started to grow darker and darker, and then she found herself being surrounded in pitch black.

Li Syaoran was walking down the hallway; he's in a bad mood all because of one guy. Hiiragizawa Eriol…, he thought savagely, I swear one of these days…I'll rip you limb to limb…! As he turned right, he saw a figure on the ground, leaning against the wall. He narrowed his eyes when he saw that it wasn't moving. He cautiously took a few steps forward, looking for traps of all kinds, just in case this was an ambush to take him out. When he made sure that the area was clear, he walked towards the figure of human as he found out. He realised that it was Kinomoto Sakura, because he recognised her auburn coloured hair. Figuring he might as well tell her to wake up (thinking that she's asleep or something… [A/N: = . ="…]) or she'll be late for class. As soon as his hand made contact with her shoulder, he realised that she's unconscious, and began to grow suspicious. Why is she unconscious? he thought as he narrowed his eyes again, but I feel no other presence other than hers. He then placed his hand onto her forehead to feel her temperature and was surprised to realise how hot her forehead was, it was beyond normal human temperature, no human can survive this kind of temperature. What is she? he thought as he began to check her pulse, she's definitely human, there's no mistake about that…

"Hey Syaoran, what's going on?"

Syaoran can feel his temper going up drastically, that voice belonged to none other than the most annoying person on Earth. His partner: Hiiragizawa Eriol. Syaoran turned around and glared at his partner.

"What do you want?" he demanded, his voice cold and icy. Eriol just smiled and chuckled at the question.

"My, my…how ruthless," said Eriol in mock fear. This agitated Syaoran more as he sent Eriol the death glare, "But," continued Eriol, suddenly becoming serious, "I feel that our target is somewhere in this area, don't you agree, Syaoran?"

Syaoran narrowed his eyes again. Yes, he could feel the aura now, the same aura which was present in the gym earlier. Interesting…, he thought, Is the target displaying an interest with Kinomoto? If so, I should lure it out, using her as bait.

"We'll use her," said Syaoran, pointing his index finger at Sakura, who's still unconscious. Eriol frowned slightly, as if waiting for Syaoran to explain his sudden decision. "It seems that the target is attracted to her," continued Syaoran with a serious voice, "We can lure it out by using her as bait."

Eriol let out na exasperated sign when Syaoran finished speaking, "You never seem to care for the sick do you?" said Eriol, his voice serious.

"Sick?"

Eriol shook his head and walked towards Sakura's unconscious figure and began to examine her. "She has a very high fever," said Eriol as he lifted his right hand from Sakura's forehead, "Temperature estimated over 45° Celsius, a normal human would've just die from this kind of temperature within their body, its instant death. However, it seems that she's no ordinary human, there's a high possibility that she is one of the Original Healers."

It took Syaoran a while to digest the information, "What else?" he asked. Eriol smirked at his partner's eagerness but his face became serious again.

"She is in a very dangerous state of mental delirium, or nightmares to put it simply," said Eriol when he saw his partner's face, "We need to take her to the nurse's office immediately, if we don't, the worst possible scenario is that she dies."

Syaoran gave out a frustrated sigh, "What the hell has she been doing? To reach this state!" he said as he ran his hands through his messy hair.

"My guess is that she has pretty much used up all of her energy when she kept that shield over the class during dear Mei Lin's match," said Eriol as he started to pick her up piggy back style, "Even before that, she used a large amount of energy when she used her magic to keep that black mist away from the whole class and herself including, and just then she used a large quantity of magic to repair the heavy damage that the gym had received."

"Oh…," said Syaoran, "But that doesn't give the excuse to use that much magic…sheesh…how thick can you get?"

Eriol just chuckled, "Take care of the target will you?" he said seriously as he took Sakura down to the nurse's office, "It won't be pleasant if I come back and discover that the whole school has been massacred all because you are too lazy to deal with him."

Syaoran sighed as his partner disappeared. Damn that Eriol, he thought angrily, giving me a lecture…no matter, I'll finish this once and for all!
