Chapter 13: Sakura's Death

The devastating news of Sakura's death was too much for the wolves to take. They only had a mere day to be with they're new found member and friend. It happened all the time, about once every three months someone from another gang is captured by the Serpents, tortured then killed. It all ways happened but in this case...it was something the the gang did not want to happen especially to their new and young member. Ruby was with Yue crying her heart out. The twins had gone to school early that day and were glad to get out of that mansion. The house was depressing. No one talked and all their expressions showed sadness, to sad for words.

"I can't believe this" Melin whispered chocking back her tears.

"We all knew it would happen, so it happened." Nako said reading a book to escape the reality that she refused to accept. Her words were harsh but everyone knew she did not mean them, not in the slightest.

"WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING MORE!! I could have done something." She burst into tears and cried on Robert, all he could thing to do was hug her tightly. Just then Syaoran walked in, he looked at his cousin and snort.

"Why are you all so sad? We don't even know her that well!! So what's the point? People die in our gang from our bases all over Japan!! This one is no different, this is just one more person, that should have never been alive in the first place." The room was quiet soaking in what he had just said. The last part was exceptionally cruel. His voice was cold and lifeless it was like he didn't even care. But in truth everything he said was just an act, he was sad, devastated and confused with his feelings on how to handle Sakura's fate. But Melin could not believe here ears. She got up off the couch walked to him and slammed her fist against the wall he was leaning on. He didn't even flinch.

"I-I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOUR TREATING HER LIKE...LIKE SOME PIECE OF TRASH!! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!! HOW CAN YOU SAY SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO LIVE!! A-AND YOUR SAYING THAT SHE MEANS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING TO YOU?!" He looked away from his cousin. The things he said before, he did not mean but he was not admitting it either. Not with his pride in the way, he did not want anyone to think he was weak. He was the future leader of this gang and that was how he planned to act.

The door bell rang interrupting the scene before them. Chiharu went to answer it. Not bothering to ask for a password she opened it, and there stood Sakura's best friend.

"Chiharu-chan? Are you alright?" Tomoyo was never told that Sakura had returned so she did not know of Sakura's fate. "Chiharu-chan?" Tomoyo said once again concern growing on her face.

"T-Tomoyo you better come in." Chiharu sat Tomoyo down and explained what the doctor said. Tomoyo did not answer for a while and the gang was awaiting her to burst into tears...but she didn't.

"Where is she?" Tomoyo asked cheerly

"Pardon?" Chiharu looked at her weirdly.

"Where is Sakura-chan I need to speak with her." Tomoyo said calmly.

"Yeah well good luck with that...she's as silent as the grave." snickered Robert

"We don't need words to talk, we don't use or need words to talk." She got up and headed to Sakura's room without anyone telling her.

"How did she know were Sakura-chan's room is?" asked Nako

"Remember what she said before Nako?" said Eriol

"Hai."

"Then, there's your answer." he said with a sweet smile

Sakura's Room

"Sakura-chan how do you feel?"

'Not so good my whole body hurts and I feel dizzy'

"Nothing unusual." Tomoyo said with a smile on her face.

'Tomoyo?'

"Yes?"

'Am I going to die?' Sakura asked with a desperate expression

"That's what the doctor said." She replied sadly.

'Thank goodness! I can finally see Mama and Papa again.' Sakura closed her eyes smiling up at the ceiling, but Tomoyo knew that was not a smile, not of the Sakura she knew. Tomoyo was enraged by her words. Did the promise she made to herself mean nothing to her?! She wanted to die, Sakura was just going to give up, everything she has done not to die just went down the gutter. Not taking it anymore Tomoyo slapped Sakura across the face.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" She shouted at Sakura but Sakura did not look at her. Footsteps were heard running upstairs.

"Is everything alright in there?" asked Aniue about to open the door.

"Please don't open the door Tokugawa-san, everything is fine." She said her voice calming down but she still looked at Sakura with disgust.

"Are you sure? Maybe you should come out of there."

"I'm sure everything is..." she looked at Sakura. "Alright."

"Alright." The footsteps were heard going back down.

"Why are you running away? You were never like this Sakura, you always faced everything with bravery but now...NOW YOUR JUST A COWARD!!" Footsteps were heard again.

"Di-" Nako began but was quickly cut off by Tomoyo

"DONT COME IN!" She was loosing her patience with Sakura.

"But..." She began again.

"I SAID DONT COME IN!!" The footsteps were heard retreating hesitantly. Tomoyo sighed regaining control. "Why don't you live Sakura?"

'What's the point? I have no family and everyone hates me. Are those reasons someone should live?' Sakura had a point those were not reasons to live but Tomoyo had a point too and she was going to make it loud and clear.

"You have a family Sakura-chan...a new family right here." Sakura looked at Tomoyo like she had gone crazy.

'Its a gang Tomoyo!' she said looking at Tomoyo like if she was zany

"Have you seen them act like a gang?"

' Not very much except when...' She did not have to finish her sentence Tomoyo knew who she was talking about. That pest Hu Keiichi he would not leave Sakura alone and no one knew why.

"Have you seen them act like a family?" Now that she thought about it...they did act more like a family than anything else. "Does it look like they hate you?"

'Li-kun does...' Tomoyo smiled

"Since when have you cared what one person thinks about you? Especially a boy."

'Well...its just that...' Sakura's face began turning pink

"So you do like him!"

'DO NOT!' They looked at each other and laughed. Tomoyo was happy to see her friend finally laughing she sounded so happy and that is as close as she got to hearing her voice.

"Sakura I won't let you die, no matter what you say!"

'But the doctor said...I...I...' She fainted

"She really do lose too much blood." Tomoyo set her bag down and called Eriol. "HIRAGIZAWA-SAN!!" The door swung open revealing Melin who had a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other.

"Are you ok? Did the Serpents attack?!" She asked frantically looking around

"Oh heavens no, I just need to talk to Hiragizawa-san for a moment." Melin let her guard down seeing no danger. "HEY ERIOL! THE GIRL NEEDS YOU!" He came in with a neutral look.

"Melin there is no need to shout." He said

"Whatever just make sure next time you shout its an emergency."

"Hai, Hai" She shoved him in the room and slammed the door shut and left. The environment changed from cheery to gloomy and so did his voice.

"Yes?" He said looking at her curiously

"You know me and Sakura have magic right?" No words were needed for that explanation. "Well I'll tell you a little secret. When Sakura gets hurt some of her magic weakens, and this time not only did her magic deplete completely her life magic is about to disappear."

"Why are you telling me this?" He said his eyes staring into hers

"Because..." She looked away from him and got up, walking towards him she stopped inches away from his face. "Sakura and me need you, especially right now. I never thought it would have to be this way but..." She stared back into his eyes. "Please...help us."

"T-Tomoyo..." She had never opened up like this to anyone before but something about him made her trust him, but something even more was felt something that she could not identify.

"Please..."

"Alright Tomoyo." He smiled ever so sweetly at her which almost made her faint but she held herself. "So if her life magic disappear Sakura dies right?"

"Yes, that's why I'm going to heal her right now. Right now my magic is more powerful than hers so my magic will not disappear. I need you to stand guard outside for me, and keep the Clow Book with you.

"Why do you need the book?"

"You'll be surprised what will happen."

"I'll do it but...if I take the Clow Book the others will want to see what's happening."

"Its alright, I just don't want them inside the room" Eriol left the room to get the book out of the 'safe'. In other words a magically guarded paninting of all the gang members. Seconds later Tomoyo heard rapid footsteps that stopped right in front of the door.

"I demand to know what is the purpose on taking the Clow Book, Hiragizawa Eriol!" That was Yue with every word his voice became higher. More arguments were heard, the door swung open.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH THE BOOK?!" Shouted Yue. Eriol shot her an apologetic glance but she smiled at him.

"I'm sorry Yue-san, I just needed to take a look while I do something." She said innocently.

"Well the book stays with me."

"Very well then, but no one else." Eriol and Yue came in but did not bother to sit. They just watched Tomoyo. She outstretched her hands over Sakura and began to chant.

"The light the stars, the dark, the moon, The Clow the book, emerge as one to cure the chosen one. Love and Life combine the light, Pain and Agony combine the darkness and light become the stars. The chosen one awaits to hear your call." she said softly.

"T thought that was a lost incantation." Mused Eriol amazed that she even knew that ancient spell existed.

"That is what was thought." Tomoyo's body began to glow and Sakura's too, the world disappeared. What was left was vast space and stars. Tomoyo stood but Sakura and the others had vanished.

"The soul that is lost, The soul that has no love, please answer our call." Sakura's timid figure appeared in front of her. Sakura took a step back her arms up protectively and looked at Tomoyo like if she was a stranger.

"W-who are you?" That was Sakura's five year old voice. Tomoyo smiled warmly at her friend.

"Don't worry I won't hurt you." Tomoyo coaxed softly. Sakura held her head and her expression changed from scared to pain. Tomoyo looked at her worryingly. "What's wrong?" Sakura was on her knee's.

"M-my head...i-it." She let out a scream. "ITS HURTS!! SOMETHING IS SCRAEMING IN MY EAR!!." She let out another high pitched scream almost tearing her hair from her head.

"Sakura you must calm down. Listen to them they don't want to hurt you, just listen." Sakura screamed once again then she stopped. She let go of her head and smiled.

"They stopped...they stopped!" The tears that were threatening to fall were sucked back in without fighting. "Arigato!" She said smiling up at Tomoyo.

"It was nothing." Sakura stood up swaying a bit. Tomoyo looked at Sakura seriously. "I'll ask again. Sakura do you want to live?"

"NO!" She shouted a panic look entering her dull emerald eyes.

"Why?"

"Because I want to see mama and papa again! Its been...its been too long..." She said whispering

"But what about your friends here? What about the new family you met?"

"THAT'S NOT THEM!! Its not my real family."

"Yes they are!" Tomoyo said strongly almost scolding her. "They are your family, your new family, Why wont you accept that?"

"I-I...its j-just...I...j-just..." Sakura's tears came spilling out. Tomoyo came close to her and hugged her tightly.

"Your afraid that they wont love you like your other family did right?"

"H-hai..."

"They will, they already do love you a lot, but if you leave they wont be able to love you because you will no longer be with them." Sakura nodded whipping away her tears.

"I'll go back but...I don't want them to go away...I don't want to be alone again...not again." She shook her head slowly, remembering her parents death and the times after that. She was lonely. Even with Tomoyo there, she was very lonely.

"You won't, you have lots of new friends and a happy new family!" Tomoyo said with a warm smile coming closer to her. Close enough that they could have hugged. The girl looked at her with reluctant eyes.

"Promise?" she said holding out her pinkie finger. Tomoyo laughed lightly at the girls ways, she was the same there and out.

"Promise." Tomoyo took the girls quivering pinkie in her own and they locked pinkies tightly. After that single word, the little world disappeared and they came back to reality. Tomoyo gasped for air as she opened her eyes softly looking at the body on the bed. Sakura gasped too, but her breath...never came back.

Thank you for reading!! Some of you people are very analistic I like that!! But I won't tell you who is right and who is wrong, you'll just have to find out as you read the story!

And now for THE CHAPTER PREVIEW!!

CHapter 14: Sakura Book

"I won't."

"I don't believe you." Eriol's embrace tightend on her. "Promise me you won't even think of forcing yourself."

"I-I..." She was not sure she could keep that promise considering the danger they were in. Somehow it hurt her to lie to him...even if they just meet. "I promise." Tomoyo said.

"Good but just in case." He jammed his finger into her back and twisted it clockwise. She chocked a bit and her body started to glow a light hue of blue and so did his body. I little of the blue aura went through his finger into her back.

"If you break that promise I'll be the first one to know." He placed a small kiss on her forehead and left. Tomoyo stunned by his gestures stayed rooted to the spot.

Hope you liked everything!! Please review!! Luv YA!!

Paz Para Siempre
