Chapter 4: Xiao Lang and Ying Fa together again

Last time......

Eriol gasped. Blood covered the grounds. Eriol looked to see the teachers that went to see what was wrong they were just as shocked as him.

" What happened here?" asked Mrs. Anderson.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mrs. Anderson screamed. " What is it?" asked the other teacher. Mrs. Anderson pointed at the wolf. Eriol narrowed his eyes. A scream rang out through the camp.

The teachers went to look and Eriol followed. " Oh my god! Kinomoto are you ok?" asked the teacher. " I'm...ok. It's a wolf. It only wants me." said Ying Fa.

The wolf growled and the teachers backed away. Ying Fa looked at Eriol for help. Eriol nodded. " We better get out of here." he said.

The teachers took one last glance at Ying Fa before running away. Eriol took out his sun staff and a barrier formed around them.

Ying Fa got up and took out her pendent. The wolf's eyes glowed blood red and attacked! Bong!!! Ying Fa gasped. " Xiao Lang!" gasped Ying Fa.

Xiao Lang smiled at Ying Fa. " So the prince finally woke up." said a familiar voice. Crystal appeared behind the wolf. She slowly stroked the wolf.

" Evil witch!" said Xiao Lang. " Xiao Lang Li. Really you should think twice before calling me a witch!" hissed Crystal. The wolf opened it's mouth and a fire ball shot out.

" Xiao Lang!!!!" screamed Ying Fa. " Ying Fa Nooooooo!!!!!" shouted Eriol. Crash!!!! Boom!!!! Ying Fa's form disappeared in the fire that blazed high.

" Nooooooo!!!!!" shouted Xiao Lang, tears in his eyes. Crystal smiled, she floated up to the sky. " Seems she couldn't win. Ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!" laughed Crystal.

She disappeared out of sight. Eriol used his staff the calm the blazing fire. Xiao Lang helped with all his magic, even if he was still a bit weak.

The wolf's blood red eyes were set on the blazing fire before it, something wasn't right. Suddenly the wolf backed away from the fire.

A figure came out of the flames, someone they haven't seen before in their lives. A man with black hair came from the flames, holding Ying Fa in his arms.

Her body banged up and burned. His bangs covered his eyes so you couldn't really know who he was. The man held a free hand up and with a blast the flames all around disappeared, the wolf vanished as well in a instant.

The man turned, facing them. Ying Fa opened her eyes, and slowly here hand found it's way to the man's face. Tears fell from her half opened eyes.

" Brother. I thank you." whispered Ying Fa before she shut her eyes. The man smiled and he set her on the ground, slowly he vanished like a ghost.

Eriol's staff vanished and Eriol sighed. " Ying Fa!!!!" shouted Xiao Lang running towards Ying Fa.

Crystal held a stone, a black stone with the wolf on it. Her fist closed tight on it. " They will pay for what they did to my pet." hissed Crystal.

There was a crack and she vanished.

-----------------------------------------------------

" I'm ok really Xiao Lang." whispered Ying Fa. " (sigh) I still think your not powerful enough Ying Fa." said Xiao Lang. " He's right. Your not powerful enough." said Eriol.

" The next time....the next time I won't be luck and Sakura will wither away as we know it. She's already beginning to wither...just like the cherry blossoms in winter. Once she loses all of her petals then that's it." whispered Ying Fa.

" Ying Fa stopped talking like that. We will take care of that witch no matter what." whispered Xiao Lang. " I'm going. I'll leave you two alone." said Eriol.

The door shut with a click and Xiao Lang looked at Ying Fa seriously. " Just how far do you have to go to kill your self!?" cried Xiao Lang, clutching the blanket tightly in his fist.

" Xiao Lang." whispered Ying Fa. " Why!? Are you doing this to your self!?" asked Xiao Lang. Tears now fell from his eyes. " Last time....I lost you. I don't want you to kill your self all over again!" cried Xiao Lang.

" You won't lose me. We'll be together again. I will make that happen." whispered Ying Fa. " I'm afraid that we won't Ying Fa. I'm afraid we won't." cried Xiao Lang.

Ying Fa leaned forward and she kissed Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang's tears stopped and he kissed back. Ying Fa stopped kissing him and she let the tears fall.

" Remember Xiao Lang it was you that I lost. Always keep me in your heart." whispered Ying Fa leaning back onto the bed. She smiled and she closed her eyes.

" I'll always love you no matter.....what." whispered Ying Fa. Her hand hit the mattress and she was out. Xiao Lang got up and he vanished from sight.

" I'll let you sleep, you do need it. But I'll be near by if you ever need me." whispered Xiao Lang.

Syaoran looked at the lake, he was alone because Crystal was talking with her friends. He couldn't help but feel like something was missing.

Something missing? What could it be? He felt like crying for no apparent reason, like something happened and he never knew. what.

" Syaoran!" Syaoran saw the image of Sakura, standing in front of him. All sorts of images. He had yet to know all faces, emotions of Sakura.

She would always have a new face. Her eyes told him what she was feeling. Sorrow, hate, love and happiness. Fear is one thing he has seen only once before.

Sorrow seems to show all the time he meets her. The last one was Pain, she suffered pain he could only imagine. He's had pain in his life. Losing his father, getting hit and what not.

But...she suffered more than him? Why was that? She had a wonderful normal family. But...... a image flashed through his mind.

A image he has seen once before.

~ flash back~

Sakura stared at Syaoran with emerald green eyes filled with sorrow and pain. Tears threatened to fall. She didn't show any tears even if she wanted to.

Her eyes pained him to see such sorrow and pain in them. Sorrow. Pain.

~ flash~

Sakura looked at Syaoran. " Syaoran." said Sakura. " Hai?" asked Syaoran. Sakura looked ahead. " Will....will you ever love me even if the world gets between us?" asked Sakura.

" I'll love you forever Sakura. Forever." whispered Syaoran.

~ end of flash backs~

Syaoran shut his eyes, he remembered that time. He said those exact same words.

~ flash~

Sakura stood in the darkness, she stared at Syaoran. " Sakura!" called out Syaoran. " Syaoran." cried Sakura. Tears fell from her eyes, she covered her ears.

" Please no! Get away!!!! Help me!!!!!!! Some one!!!!!" screamed Sakura. " Sakura what's wrong!!!!??" asked Syaoran. Sakura fell to her knees.

" Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" screamed Sakura. Her scream cut through Syaoran's heart like a knife, her pain, he felt.

Sakura let the tears fall.....fall to the ground. " Sakura!!!!! Don't give up! You can't let her win!!!" shouted a familiar voice.

Syaoran looked to see a girl show up behind Sakura. She hugged Sakura like a mom would do to assuage their child's fears.

" You can't wither away. You know you have a purpose to live." whispered the girl. The girl looked up to glare at Syaoran her eyes sharp, filled with pain and sorrow.

Just like Sakura's. Syaoran gasped, she looked like Sakura!

" You can't give up either. Don't take Crystal as your usual girl. You have to sense her aura!!!" screamed the girl. The flash broke like a glass window being hit by a baseball.

~ end of flash~

Ying Fa opened her eyes. " Sakura is disappearing....." she held her hand up to see it. " and so am I." whispered Ying Fa.
