Find the Past

Chapter 10 Darkness Rules

"SAKURA!" Syaoran continued to scream outside. The gang was spending all night out on the streets looking for Sakura. Then something caught Syaoran's sight, it was Sakura's ribbons for her hair.

'Sakura, you're here, somewhere, I can feel your aura, it's faint but I will find it' The confiedent Li thought to himself. Little did he know, someone was watching over him. The image sneered and then disappeared.

Three hours have passed, it was passed midnight, Syaoran was still out looking for Sakura. 'I won't give up, no matter what!' Syaoran thought to himself, 'I don't care if the others aren't looking for you, but I will look for you'

Syaoran then stopped a while. 'Haven't I been here before? With the post, and the park?'

"What's going on?" Syaoran yelled out. 'Could this be Illusion?' Syaoran took out his sword and concentrated his aura to where Illusion was coming from. "THERE!" He screamed running towards the post and smashed the post with his sword.

Illusion appeared coming out from the post. "What the heck? Why would Sakura be doing this?" Syaoran looked around. The card flew into the tree and someone grabbed it. "SAKURA!" He yelled and jumped up towards the tree.

A shadow holding the star staff was seen behind the tree branches. "Sakura is that you? What's going on?" No response from the shadow.

"You're worthless Li-kun." the person fainally spoke. It was Sakura's voice for sure.

"Nani? Sakura?" The shadow was seen clearly by the light of the lamp post. It was Sakura, but she looked different.

"Sakura! Snap out of it!" Her eyes were pitch dark green and hair was longer and darker, she was being controlled.

"Yoki...YOKI IS DOING THIS TO YOU! ONEGAI SAKURA! DON'T LET HIM CONTROL YOU!"

Then an evil laughter was heard. "Sakura, come to me and bring Syaoran with you!" It screamed out. Sakura obeyed the order and jumped down from the tree. Syaoran followed her from behind.

"YOKI! I won't let you hurt her!" Syaoran screwamed while following Sakura.

"I won't hurt her, demo, I'll make her hurt you! Sakura summon Sword!" Sakura took her staff and threw Sword and summoned it.

"Sakura, don't do this!" Syaoran took his sword out and was on guard. Sakura turned back and came dashing towards Syaoran with Sword, Syaoran immediately blocked her attack.

"Sakura, I know you're in there, I know you still know me, onegai, fight him...FIGHT!" Syaoran screamed desperately towards Sakura. Sakura and Syaoran then backed off and stood opposite on the branch of the tree.

"Fight, I will fight you.." Sakura said in a strange tone. "I know no Syaoran, I only know Yoki, my master, I will lend my power's as a card mistress and serve him" Syaoran looked at her blankly, was the Sakura Kinomoto, the girl he loved, was gone? Syaoran looked behind her, it was Yoki.

"Yoki!" Syaoran glared. Yoki had a small pink ball in his hand. But the pink ball was becoming dark. 'Sakura's aura, but how is he able to control it?' Syaoran thought.

"You see Li Syaoran, I am much stronger than you, I can cast illusions, control minds, control auras, and a lot more things! Unlike you, you can only use the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Lightning. Who is weaker now! You need the Card Mistress around you in order to protect yourself!" Yoki grinned.

"Now that I have her on my side, who's going to help you now?" Yoki pointed at Syaoran, he was pretty muchpointing out all of Syaoran's weakness. Syaoran looked down on the ground, he seemd dark, but really, Syaoran wasn't affected by Yoki's speech.

"You're right, I am weak, however, I have friends that are willing to help me..." Syaoran looked up.

"My cute little desecedent, how did you know we were behind you?" Eriol came out with Ruby, Kero, Yue, Spinel, and Meiling behind him.

"Meiling!" Syaoran yelled out to his cousin. "Why are you here?"

"To help out! Your okaa-san sent me here" Meiling jumped and stood beside Syaoran. Syaoran smiled at us cousin, "Arigatou" Then something struck him, he remembered that dream, about Sakura, killing Meiling. "Demo, it's best off if you stay behind Eriol."

"Nani! I want to help you Syaoran! I want to help you bring back Sakura!" Meiling exclaimed at him.

"No, gomen Meiling, stay out." Syaoran jumped away, "I call upon the element of FIRE!" Fire appeared aiming towards Yoki.

"SAKURA! USE SHIELD TO BLOCK IT!" Sword quickly turned back to the Star Wand and Sakura summoned Shield, it deflected the fire. The pink aura was almost all black. "I guess it's getting dangerous around here for me now too bad you can't watch the whole aura of her's become dark."

"Sakura! Don't let him control you! You know your strong! Awaken the power that you have hidden!" Eriol yelled out.

"Nani? Sakura has hidden powers?" Kero questioned Eriol. Eriol ignored him.

"She's not snapping out of it!" Meiling yelled back at Eriol. 'Maybe I should fight her and talk to her at the same time' Meiling grabbed the sword she was carrying, it was awarded by Yelan for helping out Syaoran so much, she quickly dashed towards Sakura. Sakura summoned Sword again and blocked her attack.

"MEILING!" Syaoran yelled. 'No, I don't want this dream to come true, I don't want Meiling to die'

"Sakura I know you're in there somewhere, it's me, Meiling! Onegai, stop the fighting between us and fight Yoki instead!" Meiling begged towards Sakura.

Yoki laughed evily, the pink aura was completely becoming dark. However, a bright arrow passed by Yoki causing him to lose balance and to drop the aura. Ruby flew towards it and quickly grabbed the fragile aura.

"How dare you, who did that!" Yoki yelled. "I did!" Yue responded, "Sakura is my master, I will protect her." Ruby gave the aura to Eriol, he tried using his magic to purify the darkness.

"No, it won't purify itself, Sakura, why aren't you fighting the darkness?" Eriol continued trying to purify it, but no matter what, the dark parts won't become pink again.
