Never Stop
Chapter 29
It Begins
Caitlyn sighed I'll give you two a minute." She said as she walked out of the white room and closed the doors behind her.
Syaoran's mind was buzzing. 'I can't loose her again not to the same low down creep.' He looked up to see Sakura staring blankly at the floor as tears dripped freely down her face. His heart stopped at the sight of her crying. He sighed "Sakura please don't cry. You know I hate to see you cry."
She slowly wiped her tears away with her hands. Syaoran watched her with worried eyes as she tried to compose her self the best she could.
Sakura sniffled and exhaled slowly. "I'm sorry Syaoran. It's just beginning to be too much." She looked up at him with poofy red eyes. "Maybe we should just stop... while we are ahead."
"No...No don't say that. We can do this. Everything will work it's self out." He said reassuringly.
"I wish it was that easy."
Syaoran turned his body to her and took her hands into his. "Sakura please don't give up on me." He sighed. "Don't give up on us yet. I'll figure everything out." Sakura looked away as more tears flowed down her cheeks. "Hey." He said softly as her turned his face to him. "Don't cry." he slowly wiped the tears from her eyes. She looked to the floor. "Hey look at me." She looked up with her sad emerald eyes piercing into his skin. "You won't marry Ethan okay."
She looked away and shook hear head. "You don't know what will happen."
He sighed "I do... And I promise you that the only person you will walk down the isle to... is me."
The last sentence had caught her completely off guard. Sakura looked at him with a surprised expression. "What?"
"You heard me. I want you to marry me. I love you Sakura."
"Whoa are you asking me to marry you... Now?"
"Well not officially. That will come much later in the future. Seriously I'm not ready to be married. I just want you to know that if it comes down to it. I will marry you before you can marry Ethan."
Sakura looked at him "I'm not so sure this will work."
"Look no one not even the clan can break up a marriage. That don't have to like it but they will have to except it eventually. Hey it's only a precaution if they try to push a wedding on you when we get back."
"Okay. I'll marry you but only if I have to."
"Oh you make it sound like you don't want to." Syaoran said with a hurt expression.
"I do but you're not ready. I'm not ready. I'm still getting used to you as my boyfriend. I'm not even completely comfortable around you yet. So I really don't want to push the issue."
"What do you mean you're not comfortable with me yet?"
"I don't know I guess I still get a little nervous when you are around."
Syaoran smiled "You do?"
"Yeah I do and it's not funny."
"I know it's just cute." Syaoran said with a smile as he put her hands in his.
"You know you're not as hard up as you think you are Syaoran."
"What makes you say that?"
"It seems like it's so much easier for you to smile these days."
"That's only because of you beautiful." he said before he kissed her hand lightly.
Caitlyn walked into the room with a smile on her face. "Come I have to show you both something."She said as turned and when back down the long hall way.
"What." They asked as they followed close behind her.
She stopped in front of a painting of a water fall."
"In a time of danger this is your way out."
"Huh?" Sakura said with a dumb look on her face.
"You both must get to that book no matter what. This is the safest way to get out of the castle undetected. Do you understand?" They both nodded. "Now let us finish our conversation."
"We are here sir we arrived earlier than planned." A hood soldier announced
"Great gather the men. It's time." Bodos said as he picked up his sword with an evil grin.
"Yes General."
"Breakfast was great." Tomoyo said with a smile.
Thanks I try." Kiki said with a smile.
"Hey where's Sakura and Syaoran."Ethan said looking around.
"I don't know haven't seen them since last night."Tomoyo said softly
"Hey maybe they just need some alone time." Justin said with a slick smile.
"If your thinking what I think you're thinking I doubt it highly." Tomoyo said with a smile. "It would be so awesome but no I know my best friend it's not gonna happen not this fast."
"Yeah but I know Syaoran." Justin said with a smile.
"Yeah but I doubt it. He cares about her to much to rush into things." Eriol said as he glanced at Tomoyo who was rubbing her stomach.
"Yeah Justin you don't get my cousin enough credit. He is not that lustful and mean." Meilin said giving him an adorable look.
"I only say that because of previous experiences." Justin said with a smile
"I guess you're both just two rich pretty boys." Meilin said with a smirk.
"No we're not."
"Oh your not" Meilin countered back slickly.
"Is that all you think of us." Justin said softly.
"Oh come on Justin. You guys are taught in your training to never let feelings interfere with anything. I'm sure it came easy for you to sleep around with all those girls and being so popular by running over other people."
"That's really cold Meilin." Kiki said softly.
"I'm sorry I just don't like that guys think of females as there little sex toys. I mean that's not the only reason why we have relationships."
"Look Meilin I met nothing by it okay? I'm sorry."
"You know Justin just because you and Syaoran can have any girl you want doesn't mean that one person couldn't stop your whole I want to be a man whore player game."
Justin's mouth dropped open. "Are you serious? So we are hoes?"
"Man hoe's" Kiki said with a smile.
"Aw that's cold Ki."
"I was just playing around. Gosh you and Syaoran are so touchy about that." She smiled
"Listen all I'm saying is that Sakura and Syaoran relationship is different from all of Syaoran's previous relationships. He loves her. He isn't gonna come on to her this early in." Meilin said trying to defend Syaoran.
"We'll see."
"I don't know I kind of agree with Justin!" Tomoyo said softly.
"What?" everyone said in unison."
Tomoyo smiled. "Come one Sakura like's him because he is dangerous and bold and he knows that. Why wouldn't he add on to his naughtiness?"
"Tomoyo you're horrible." Meilin said with a smile
Tomoyo giggled "I know!"
"At least someone has my side." Justin said with a smile.
Kiki started to giggle. "Why..."
"Shhh" Eriol cut her off as he stood and looked around at full attention."
"What is it?" Tomoyo asked softly.
"We have to go." Eriol said helping Tomoyo off the ground. "Get your stuff hurry" he said as he dragged Tomoyo down the stone path towards Caitlyn's palace.
"What's wrong?" Meilin said as she ran behind Eriol and Tomoyo at full speed.
"Were about to be under attack." He yelled behind them as he ran.
"What?" Kiki said surprised as she and the others ran desperately for the castle.
Eriol pulled a little moon amulet from around his neck. "Key that hold the power of darkness and light. Show your true self to me. I Eriol command you under contract. Release!" A giant half moon symbol appeared under him as her ran and the great moon staff formed in his hands. "Get to the castle." He yelled to Tomoyo. "And wait for me there I will come for you."
"But Eriol what are you gonna do." Justin asked as they continued to run.
"I'm gonna hold them off. You all run to the palace. Ethan protect Tomoyo"
"Are you sure about this." Ethan said as he ran forward grabbing Tomoyo's arm.
"I'm sure." Eriol responded as Ethan pulled Tomoyo to him.
"I'll come back for you." Eriol said to Tomoyo before he turned and stopped abruptly. Everyone ran past him. A light breeze ran through his hair. 'What trouble is brewing now?' He closed his eyes and breathed in calmly. He opened his eye and slowly lifted his staff as the ground started to shake. The castle gates opened revealing an army of hundreds. They started to charge full speed at him.
Tomoyo looked back at the army charging. "ERIOL!" She screamed as she tried to run back.
"No." Ethan said as he pulled her up the palace steps. "He can handle it."
Eriol raised his staff higher and a great wind began to pick up. His body started to glow a deep blue. 'You guys are messing with the wrong one this time.' He said as the garden started to grow bigger around him. The tree branches stretched to unbelievable able lengths and the vines and bushes grew thicker. He pointed the staff forward and the branches and vines swept forward knocking down everything in there paths. The bushes grew tall and blocked the entrance way leaving most of the soldiers on the other side of the palace grounds. Eriol smirked as the few determined soldiers that were left charged at him. His sun staffed turned into a sword as he charged back at them.
"Hurry" Ethan said as he pushed the castle gates shut.
One of the castle maids ran from one of the side chambers. "Caitlyn is with your friends in the far corridor hurry!" She said as she ran down the hallway with everyone close behind.
They turned the corner quickly as they entered down a new corridor. Syaoran, Sakura and Caitlyn came running out of a side room.
"Sakura." Tomoyo said as she ran to her friend and hugged her tightly.
"The castle is under attack." Justin said to Syaoran and Caitlyn in a distressed tone.
"Where's Eriol?" Syaoran said as he looked around.
"He's buying us time." Ethan said as he looked to Caitlyn. "Alright your highness what do you propose we do?" He said quickly.
"Caitlyn smiled. "Kasumi" She yelled.
"Yes your highness." Kasumi answered appearing from out of nowhere.
"What is the situation?"
"It's Hydros. He has sent General Bodos and his army. The others are guarding the palace walls with the help of Eriol but we won't last that much longer.
"Alright tell the men to pull back. We will settle this battle at anther day."
Kasumi bowed. "As you wish." She said as she disappeared once again.
"Why are we pulling back?" Justin said loudly.
"We are not prepared to fight now there is no point in us losing anymore men. Look you two." Caitlyn said pointing at Ethan and Justin help with the retreat." They nodded and started running back to the castle doors. "The rest of you follow me. We need to get out of here the palace will be invaded soon." Caitlyn said as she started to run down the hall to another room. "Sakura and Syaoran you know where to go." Caitlyn said with a serious look. "And good luck to you both I look forward to seeing you soon" she said with a smile.
"Good bye Tomoyo. I have to go. Take care!" Sakura said as she gave her best friend a hug.
"Sakura where are you going?"
"We have to get that book so all of this will be over."
"I understand." Tomoyo said as she gave her friend another hug.
"Take care of Sakura Syaoran." Meilin said as she gave him a hug.
"Yeah make sure you both come back in one piece." Kiki said as she also gave him hug.
"Don't worry we will." Syaoran said as he grabbed Sakura's elbow and pulled her to him.
"Bye" Sakura said as her and Syaoran turned and ran out of the room just as Kasumi appeared again from nowhere. "It's time to leave your Highness." she said softly.
"Listen to me." Caitlyn said to Meilin, Tomoyo, and Kiki. "You all have to get out of here. Beware of the soldiers they are ruthless and will kill anything in there paths." she turned to Kasumi "Let's go." Kasumi grabbed her hands and they disappeared right before there eyes.
"Let's go" Kiki said opening up a tunnel. She stepped into the black hole. "Were going back out side." Meilin followed Kiki into the hole
"No I can't." Tomoyo screamed. "I have to wait for Eriol."
"Tomoyo you can't stay in here by yourself." Meilin said forcefully
"Search every where find the girl!" Came a voice from other room."
"There in side!" Kiki said softly. "We have to go." She said pulling Meilin into the tunnel.
"I'm sorry Meilin. Good luck guys." Tomoyo said before she ran off down the hall way."
"Tomoyo No!" Meilin screamed as she tried to run after her.
""Leave her." Kiki said as she pulled her into the tunnel. "We can't be seen"
"Tomoyo!" Meilin screamed as the tunnel closed behind them.
"Come one she'll be okay." Kiki said as they walked down her tunnel to her next opening.
"Kiki!" Justin yelled as he saw the tunnel opening beside him. They stepped out into a huge garden. "Nice of you both to drop in." He said as he flung one of the soldiers into a near by tree. 20 men charged at them.
Justin orange aura surrounded him and his brown eyes started to glow a deep dark orange. He punched one of the men in the face. "Is that all you got boy." the soldier said as he swung at Justin's face. Justin raised his hand stopping the man from hitting him. "What?" The man said as he tried to move his hand. Justin laughed. "Oh what you didn't know. I'm telekinetic." He said as he flung the men high into the air. Kiki threw an energy ball at the man and he screamed in pain before he came crashing to the ground. Justin smiled "Good shot."
"It was nothing." Kiki said as she disappeared back into her hole as a man tried to grab her. She reappeared behind him and threw a yellow energy ball at the back of his head. He fell to the ground. Someone snuck up behind her and grabbed her holding her arms tightly.
"I got her." He yelled as he clamped a sliver ring around her wrist.
Kiki tried to open her tunnel but she couldn't "Justin!" She screamed.
The men gathered around Justin trying to enclose him. With a swift swing of his hands the men were sent back flying. "I'm coming Kiki." He flung the man holding her back into the bushes. "Get into your tunnel." He yelled as he flung the other men away.
"I can't this thing on my wrist. I can't use my powers." She yelled as she tried to pull it off.
"Watch out." Kiki yelled as a man tried to hit Justin over the head with a club."
Meilin ran and kicked him hard in the stomach. "Don't ever say I haven't had you back" Meilin said as she continued to fight the men around her.
"Thanks." Justin said completely dumbfounded. A man snuck up behind him and snapped one of the silver rings around his wrist. Justin tried to fling the man away. "He smiled not this time boy." he punched him in the jaw. "Fuck You!" He yelled as he punched him again.
Kiki ducked as a man tried to cut her with a knife. "I might not be able to use my powers but you can't catch me that easy." She said as she dodged him again. A man grabbed her from behind and pushed her to the ground.
"Get off her." Ethan yelled as he ran up to the man and threw him off of her.
"About time you showed up."
"Hey I was helping Eriol." He said as raised his black pole into the air he whispered a soft incantation and the pole instantly turned it to a sword. He spun around and blocked a man who was trying to hit him with a club. "Wrong move my friend." Ethan said he pushed him back and whispered another spell. The ground under the solder collapsed and he fell into the deep whole. The earth closed up over him and returned to as it was before.
"How the hell did you do that?" Justin yelled watching what just happened.
Ethan smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Hello girly" a men yelled as he tried to grab Meilin from behind. She smiled as she elbowed him in the ribs. The man let out a cry of pain. She smirked as she spinned around and kicked him forcefully in the face.
"Hello" She said with a smile as she looked down at the unconscious soldier. Another charged from behind her she turned quickly and delivered a punch to his face. She turned and kicked anther man coming from the other direction. Another snuck up behind her and kicked her in the back of her legs. She fell to the ground and the man tried to punch her in the face she rolled out of the way quickly. The man charged at her again but this time she was ready for him she jumped up and kicked him backwards as a man ran at her from behind. She flipped backward and kicked him dead in the face.
****************************************"
"Tomoyo were are you?" Eriol yelled as he ran down the long hall in the palace.
"AHHHHH!"
Eriol heard Tomoyo scream from down the hall. He ran down the hall full speed he turned the corner slamming into the wall from trying to turn the corner to fast.
"AHHHHH"
She screamed again as Eriol burst into the room his blue aura flying all around him. "Tomoyo." He screamed as he looked up and saw his girl friend hanging off of one of the chandeliers. The soldiers lit the rug underneath on fire her making her scream out in terror as she hung on for her and her babies life.
"Lookie here we men have a visitor." One the soldiers said turning see Eriol in the door way. The three men charged at him."
"Eriol help me." She yelled as she started to loose her grip.
"Hold on!" he said as he swung his great staff at the men. Three giant fire balls came flying from the top of the staff flying directly at the men. They yelled as the balls hit them. They ran around in circles trying to put the fire out.
"ERIOL!" Tomoyo yelled as she lost her grip and started to fall to the floor.
Eriol swung his staff again sending a giant wave of wind under Tomoyo stopping her from falling. He set her on the ground safely away from the burning rug. As he punched one of the frantic on fire soldiers with the end of his staff the man fell to the ground unconscious. He turned to the other men and with a flick of his fingers a wave of water flew at them sending them forcefully into the wall knocking them out unconscious.
"Eriol." Tomoyo said as he ran to her boyfriend.
"How did you get up there." his said softly as he gave her a hug.
She pointed to a little lever by on the wall. They lower the chandelier with that and pushed me on top of it. They lifted it back up and used those poles to try to knock me off. She said looking over at three long poles.
"Oh I'm sorry they were so ruff on you." he said as he held her tightly.
"I'm fine."
"Good." He said "We got to get out of here." He said as he pulled her out back into the hallway they ran down the long corridor and threw a big dining hall. They ran out of the dining hall and headed for the Palace doors.
"HELP!" Meilin heard Kiki scream from behind her. She turned to see the men gag and throw Kiki into a covered wagon. The men jumped on the wagon and it started to lift of the ground slowly. "I got her everyone pull out." The man on the wagon yelled as the wagon started to fly away.
Eriol and Tomoyo ran out of the palace doors. Enough time to see Kiki get thrown in to the wagon.
"KIKI!" Tomoyo yelled as she and Eriol ran down the palace steps.
The solders quickly pulled back and ran for the palace gates. Meilin pushed trough the retreating solders and jumped into a near by tree. The wagon flew past and Meilin jumped gracefully into the back of the wagon where Kiki was thrown.
"NO MEILIN!" Eriol yelled watching her land safely in the wagon. The wagon started to pick up speed.
"MEILIN! KIKI!" Justin yelled as the wagon flew out of sight.
"Shit." Justin yelled as he ran after the wagon.
"Come on we have to follow it." Ethan yelled as he followed after Justin.
Eriol looked around and saw a horse by a near by tree. He ran up to it and grabbed it by its rains. He pulled it to Tomoyo "Here get on." he said forcefully
"But Eriol." Tomoyo complained as he helped her on.
"Look your two and a half months pregnant you can't do all this running."
She nodded "Well I guess those horse back riding lessons my mom made me take are gonna come in handy."
"I guess so." Eriol said as he handed her the rains "Go!" He ordered
She nodded and followed after Justin and Ethan. Eriol turned to look at the beaten up palace before turning and running after the others.
