So without further ado, I give you chapter 19!

Sakura glared dangerously at the Witch, her fists clenched tightly. "Syaoran, thank you for brining her to me. I understand how hard it is to take someone you love to their execution." The Witch said.

"Shut the fuck up!" Syaoran roared. He charged at her shapechanging in mid-stride.

"Syaoran! Don't do it!" Sakura called, but he wasn't listening. The Witch raised her hand and knocked Syaoran to the ground. He struck the floor and returned to human form. Sakura knelt beside him to make sure he was okay. She stood up and drew her sword. "Bitch! I'll kill you!" Sakura charged and swung her katana but missed. She charged again, and again, and again.

"Foolish girl. Do you really think that'd work on me?" The Witch asked. The Witch looked at Syaoran who was rising to his feet slowly. "I told you that if you succeeded in you mission I'd tel you how your parents died." She said. "You killed them Syaoran!"

"No! You're lying!" Syaoran retorted angrily.

"Its true, when I was a humble sorceress, I met his family, Syaoran was angry and enraged at his lack of control and murdered his family in the form of a wolf." She said.

"No, I don't believe you!" Syaoran screamed.

"Suit yourself boy!" She raised her staff and swung down a Sakura, he was about to strike when Tomoyo brought up a shield to protect Sakura. "You stay out of this!" The Witch knocked Sakura's friends back and held them to the wall. Kero and Yue narrowly escaped and stood before Sakura to protect her.

"Sakura! Remember the test!" Kero said to her. Sakura gasped, and somehow she knew what to do.

'The power of water, strength. That alone is not enough.' Sakura thought. 'The power of fire, wisdom, with strength it is powerful, but not sufficient. The power of wind, endurance, good on its own, but with strength and wisdom with it, almost invincible. Finally, the power of earth, the bonds of love and friendship. All four of these qualities combined are god-like.' Sakura raised her katana again and prepared to strike again.

"It won't work little girl." The Witch huffed. She was about to come in with a death blow for Sakura, but someone leapt in the way. Blood splattered the floor and Sakura's face. "Stupid boy."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sakura screamed. The Witch withdrew her staff and Syaoran crumpled to the floor his blood dripping everywhere. Sakura ran to him and carefully lifted him into her arms. "No, Syaoran, why?" She whispered. Syaoran sucked in a raspy breath.

"Because-," He paused to breath again, "because, I love you." He said. Sakura began to cry. Syaoran wrapped on arm around her neck and pulled her closer. Syaoran kissed her long and hard, Sakura felt more energy flowing through her body. When he pulled away, he was completely still.

"No, don't die Syaoran." She whimpered tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Sakura, he's not dead. Wounded gravely, but not dead." Kero told her. Sakura smiled slightly and wiped her tears.

"I love you too Syaoran," Sakura whispered. She placed him on the ground gently, and stood up.

You've passed the test, the prophecy is complete.

"You'll pay for that you bitch! You'll pay dearly!" Sakura roared raising her katana above her head. She was enveloped in a silver aura, and her short hair and tattered clothing fluttered in an unfelt wind, Sakura raised her Katana over her head. "Cerberus and Yue, guardians of the Silver Dragon, I beseech thee!"

Okay stopping there! Next chapter shall be the conclusion to this adventure, make sure to come back, read and review!
