Sakura-san: Okay, not a long intro. since I already did that for all of these chapters that I am posting right now. Just enjoy.

~Chapter 6: The Reality of Dreams~

~~~ Sakura was standing in a mass of fog. It was shining, and silver.

"Where am I?" She asked herself.

She saw someone appear ahead of her. It looked like Syaoran. She ran up to him, and she caught a glimps of a smile, but he turned away and darkness grabbed him.

"What does this mean??" Sakura asked, terrifyed. She jerked her head up, for she heard someone singing. It sounded vaugly familiar.

"Looking into your eyes, you always kept silent. Each time I saw you in my dream, you turned away before I could see your smile..."

The voice was enchanting. "Who's voice is that?" Sakura began to run towards the sound of the singing. She saw the outline of a girl with long, white wings.

"I realized who was important to me. You always protected me didn't you? Through it all, gradually, you're the only one. Allways call me and I'll help you. You're brave, you're amazing. Here now, gentally surfacing, recive these overflowing feelings..." The girl that was singing, stopped, as she sensed Sakura.

The girl turned around, and Sakura saw her face. Sakura stared with shock. This girl in front of her, was none other than herself!

Sakura's mirror image smiled sweetly at her. She was wearing, a long billowing light pink dress. She walked over and embraced the shocked girl, gentally.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked.

"I am you from a long time ago." the other Sakura answered.

Syaoran was suprised to find himself in a dream-like state. Like Sakura's dream, he was standing in a mass of fog. Although, unlike the other fog, this was black.

"Strange..." he murmured.

"It is for you at least." His own voice replied.

Syaoran whiped around, to find himself face to face with himself, just as Sakura was.

"And who are you?" Syaoran snarled.

The double snickered and then smirked at Syaoran. This guy was covered in black. His over jacket, his undershirt, his pants, and his shoes. All black. "I am you. Just a different you, from long ago. And I am tired of being forced back down inside of you."

Syaoran jumped back, and suddenly found himself in the Li clans cerimonial clothes, and holding his sword.

The double laughed scornfully. "So you are going to try to resist...fine, it will just be more painful for you. Although I would like to know why you fight against what you were born to be..."

"Me?" Sakura repeated.

Her double nodded, and pulled away. "I have been sleeping within you, until the time came to awake our power, so the Darkness can be held back again. I am to pass my full strength on to you Sakura."

Sakura was still shocked. "Our power?" she asked.

The double patientaly began to explain. "You have your own power, it just hadn't been fully awoken. I have my own, and it exsits within you also. Though separate."

Sakura had a thought. "Is this like what is happening to Syaoran?!"

Once again the double nodded. "Do not worry about having to face what he has. I will simply bond our strength and pass on my knowlege. Also the staff. Then I will be just a part of you that has been there, only we will be the same, and I won't be here anymore."

"So that light that I used in the woods wasn't me?"

"That was you, Sakura. You'll need more than that I am afraid, that is why you are here in the dream realm. Are you ready to bond?"

"Bond..."

"Don't be scared. You'll know everything once we become one. My past...how to manage the powers and my secrets....then you can destroy the darkness as I had to once," the double assured Sakura. At the mention of destroying the darkness, she grew sad.

Sakura noticed. "I agree to bond...I can't stand by without doing anything to stop this catastrophe if I can do something about it."

"You do know who the opposition is don't you?"

Sakura nodded, even though it pained her to do so.

The double held her hands towards Sakura. Sakura closed her eyes, and her feet lifted off the "ground". A staff appeared between the double's hands. It was long and pink. At the top there was a circle, that in the middle contained a golden star. To the left and right sides of the star on the outside circle, there were two wings.

"I am your Light, and now I transport myself to you. My memories, my strength, my knowlege, my secrets. I give you the Star Wand. And the wings to carry your hope." As these words were said, the staff floated up to Sakura, and the wings dissapeared from the double's back. ~

Tomoyo was woken up by a light. She opened her eyes and saw that Sakura was surrounded by a glowing nimbus, and floating a few feet off the bed.

"Sakura-chan!" she exclaimed.

~ Syaoran glared at his double. He couldn't move.

"You see, there is no way for you to fight against yourself. Now answer me, before I completely take over that body of yours, for just transfering my power memory, and whatnot wouldn't be enough, for you wouldn't do what you're supposed to. Now why do you fight?"

"If you are just going to take me over, then find the answer after you do that!" He spat.

His double shrugged, and walked up to Syaoran. "Fine. I will take you now."

With those words, Syaoran felt a burst of blinding pain. He felt his mind being swept away.

"At least until I can get separated from you..." ~

In the real world, Syaoran - like Sakura- was floating a few feet above his bed, and was surrounded by a glowing nimbus. But where hers was gold, his was dark and (yep you guessed it) black.

Syaoran was trying to fight it, there was evidence the way his brow was knitted in a frown. The struggling ceased as darkness took completely over.

Syaoran felt his own mind dissapear, and control of his body cease to be his.

~ Sakura reached out and grabeed the staff, even though her eyes remained close.

"Farewell, Sakura...accomplish what I could not." the double said and dissapeared.~

In the real world, Sakura opened her eyes. She was now holding the staff.

Syaoran opened his. They were filled with a different personality.

Sakura saw Tomoyo and told her not to worry. She shifted to a standing position while hovering in the air.

Syaoran did the same. "So this is what it feels like to have a body," he murmured. His clothes shifted to the ones from the dream realm.

Sakura's pj's turned into the light pink dress that her double had been wearing. She started as she sensed the overwhelming evil that had just awoken.

Syaoran noticed the light that had been born. "So she returned. At least I know why this boy fought to keep his mind, when I am him. He loves that girl..."

"She loved him..." Sakura mumbled. She turned to Tomoyo. "Tomoyo-chan, I have to leave now okay? Stay here where you might be safe!" She commanded. The wings appeared on her back. The window near her bed opened and she flew out of it.

"Time to finish what I started so long ago," Syaoran laughed. The entire third floor exploded outward, at a blink of an eye from Syaoran. Darkness oozed out of it and began to cover the surrounding city.

Sakura flew towards where she sensed this outburst, and felt it grow in strength. "Oh no, it has him completley now!" She shouted with worry.

Sakura knew, that she had to find a way to get the darkness out of Syaoran, for she knew that she wouldn't be able to kill him. For she loved him too much to do that.
