At a pond on the University campus~

Sakura looked up at the blue sky as she lay her head on Eriol's lap. Who also seems to be looking at the sky but his handsome face streaked with worry. Sakura gently lifted her hand and stroked his face, which startled him to look down at her. "Anything worrying you Sakura?" Eriol asked gently as always."No, nothing right now but you been depressed for days, 24 hrs a day since that incident 2 days ago" Eriol nodded "Yes it has...Ciel once said before he died to Leferone that you will be his downfall. Yet he still loves you. Of course he will torure you first, which makes me even feel more irksome then ever with his sick thoughts" Sakura understood. "Sakura!!!!" It was voice of one and only Tomoyo. "Tomoyo -chan is something wrong?" Tomoyo shook her head "I thought Ruby Moon looked rather worried too worried for her usual cheerful demeanor for last 2 days" Sakura nodded and Eriol set to explain the situation "Sakura-chan! you will need great looking costumes for this! I can imagine you and Eriol as a pair of mage king and queen! it suits you! and Hiragiizawa-kun too! I better go off and start collecting the materials! it's been so long since I made you an awsome costume for such important occasion!" Both Eriol and Sakura sweatdropped as Tomoyo hurried off in search of costume materials."Tomoyo-chan will always be the same and I hope it will always be that way...only if we defeat the Order of the Dark Sun. For the sake of seeing her smile, hear Kero-chan's laughter, dreams of all the people, pureness in a child's heart..I wish to defeat Leferone and his order...you too right Eriol ?" Sakura asked getting up "As always Sakura".The couple never noticed a unearthly beautiful young man gazing at the couple, his eyes were glittering in golden color like that of the sun's.


Sakura hummed as her and Rika-chan made their way to the field work together. Sakura knew Kero-chan was watching out for her at a discreet distance.He swore he saw a glimpse of Leferone in a guy who was wearing pair of sunglasses and perfectly cut suit fitting or rather showing off his perfect body. Kero then quickly fixed his attention abck in time to yell out ot Sakura, "Sakura don't take anymore steps!!!" Kero came running as Sakura turned around and stepping into the magical enclosure that was detectable in his eyes and magic.Kero swore to himself and tried to blast the space where his mistress disappeared. But it just seems to be non existance he flipped the newst mobile phone given to him and dialled to Eriol's number first then Nicholas's then everyone else.

Sakura looked around confused, at Kero-chan's warning of her not to take anymore steps. But right now, she was tanding a field of stars. "Hello my love, how are you on this fine day?" a smooth voice, utterly attractive voice spoke behind her. "Leferone" Sakura spoke quietly as she turned facing gorgeous, unearthly beautiful man in front of her."Star of hope....when Stars fade so does the hope" He spoke in cryptical way, eventhough she knew what he meant. He took this chance and grabbed her both arms and leaned very close, so close that his silky long front hair brushed her forehead. Sakura trembled trying to stay resolute and calm as possible. He smile dand took out a crystal "This is called Universe's tear my love, I was trapped within it's deep prison for hundreds, thousands of years untill your own magic was back in western school of magic"

"what do you want Leferone?" Sakura barely kept out the fear in her voice. "Why my dear..that's not the way to speak to your future husband, your king" Sakura shook her head defiantly " You will never be! I am only dedicated to Eriol, Clow Read, Ciel and Christian..which ever name you like to call him..but to me Eriol is and always will be my only loved one!" Sakura gasped as Leferone slapped her cheek hard making it go red. Leferone shouted back at her turning around " I loved you more then my own life! I envied you for being able to just be a normal human mage!I seeked vengence on my father upon our mother's grave!...I learned everything that one can learn about magic.I lived a bitter life of hate, greeed but only one thing kept me from going totally dark and that one single starlight that it was, it was you the 'Star of Hope', why can't you understand me?" Leferone whirled around grabbing her arms again and laid his soft and full mouth on hers making Sakura shocked but even to her disgust or suprise, she couldn't decide that she was enjoying this heart melting kiss. Sakura actually responded back much to Leferone's suprise and went in deeper. Both Sakura and Leferone came back up air. Sakura realised what she just done and stepped away from Leferone in shocked face, "What...did you do to me?!?!" Sakura cried out still in shock. For the first time Leferone actually showed any feelings on his smooth blank face. " I ..I love you...and that is all I did...how much am I in love with you" his face looked wistful and yet hungry. Hunger for the feeling that he lacked of but been searching for all his life.

Sakura looked around as Leferone silently swept his hand in broad sweeps and saw the field of stars, each one of them go out one by one. Sakura realised that he is still trying to destroy the Cosmic Trio. "no!!!!" Sakura launched her light card summoning to brighten this place, chasing out the darkness. Leferone blasted his own power which formed slowly in his two hands and then when the hands whirled ina circle a huge blast of dark sunlight fomred coming towards her. "No future queen of mine should fight meaningless fights" Leferone stated calmly.


Outside the enclosure~

Eriol felt uncomfortable as both Nicholas and he worked trying to tear apart the enclosure. As they blasted through the enlosure finally they covered their eyes as the light card went to work. Nichoals immediatly blasted at the figure of Leferone faster then even an eye could blink. Leferone put up his shield easily deflecting the assault.Nichoals smirked at this and nodded over to Eriol who stood back from Nicholas about 6 foot in distance then raised his tall staff, glowing in blazing dark purple that represented the darkness of rebirth then pointed forward which then connected to Nicholas's own glowing green power as it swirled up entwined then shot forward not straight to Leferone but to Sakura's own Star of hope power, which in response glowed eye blinding pink. The three powers combined swirled again and formed a circle of Cosmos which had a simple circle with a line crossing in the middle, a star and a sun encircling it and int he middle a golden power grew and flew towards Leferone who also have by this time have put up his own shield but was also preparing to blast the other two away.He drew in his power as he opened the gates to his own realm and let his power grow.

The World seems to shake from the impact of two pwoers colliding. Yue and Kero chan other guardians nearly launched them selves at Leferone but knowing that they could be defeated easily just looekd out incase one of them collapsed from using too much magic."This isn't the Heaven's field Ciel!" Leferone shouted as he prepared a destruction spell of dark sun then thrust the gathered power forward which made a little impact on the shield made by the Cosmic Trio. Leferoen growled and his golden eyes lit up like a sun blazing from frustration and threw another spell at them nearly making Sakura to get knocked from her feet. All three of the Trio faces looked grim with concentration not to break this formation of power. Leferone smiled suddenly "Well I guess you won this little game too, but the biggst games aren't here yet so enjoy your little time you have left, especially you Ciel" Then opened a dark gateway and disappeared.

All of the guadians and the Trio fell to their knees from exhaustion and noticed that the people around were asleep and was waking up. Sakura smiled bitterly at the spot he disappeared. "He...I don't understand him at all..one minute he seems to be concerned about me then the next minute he wants to bring down hell on earth" Eriol went over and held her close to him and let her cry into his shoulder. It has been along day. He gently picked her up and carried her over to his house which wasn't far away from the campus. "Sakura pelase rest well tonight and I will watch over you okay? I hope that will make you feel safer...and sleep well" Eriol smiled at the sleeping figure of Sakura nd put her down in her bed and held onto her hand as she slept. He, himself soon fell asleep from total exhaustion.

[Sakura' dream sequence~]

Sakura was Rosa again she was crying over Ciel's cold body, who was found dead on the morning of their wedding day. She must have cried for hours and hours. She came back to her house sitting inthe secluded garden on their estate when Leferone came over. "Leferone go away please I am not in mood to talk to others including you especially" Rosa sounded totally depressed. Leferoen ignored her plea and came up behind her hugging her close and set down butterfly kisses down her bared neck. "Leferone! please no..." Leferone chuckled and continued to ravash her with passionate hunger. Even then Rosa could not resist his touch which made her heart stop and let her desires takeover.

[End of dream sequence]
Sakura screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and got up, her green emerald eyes quivering when she looked over, Eriol was sound asleep with her hand in his.She will make her wish come true this time. She smiled and went back to sleep but that day's encounter and the dream left her shaken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ta da! hwo was that Sakura is confused right now though about her feelings things. what could more worse then let her know that she herself enjoy Leferone's touch and love? it's a torture worth then a physical one.
