Sakura-san: After this, there is only one more chappie to go....

~Chapter 12: Forgotten Past and Forgotten Name~

Syaoran continued to float through the sky. He was trying to remember. To remember who the voices belonged to that had been in his head. To remember who he was...

Sakura's eyes filled with fear, as she realized that her dream was now going to come true. The scene shifted. Loup had teleported them up to where Malhueur, Ombre, and Syaoran were now.

"Welcome, you two," Malhueur greeted them in a warm voice.

Loup gently pushed Sakura to the side, so she wouldn't get involved with what was going to take place.

He lashed out. The dark energy that he had thrown at Malhueur and Ombre, just glanced away.

"Now that is rude, Loup. After all, we know each other too well for that...Ombre here will teach you some manners again," Malhueur scolded Loup.

"Still having others fight your battles, Malhueur?" Loup sneered.

This time, Ombre laughed. "Oh, Loup, I requested it. Besides, I'll just be playing the puppet master."

"What do you mean?" Loup and Sakura asked at the same time.

Ombre pointed at Syaoran.

His eyes were blank of everything. They had changed to a grey color.

His skin was pale. And his hair was no longer the rich brown it was supposed to be.

"Aibou..." Loup murmured with emotion.

"Syaoran..." Sakura murmured at the same time Loup had spoken.

Ombre chuckled. "He has forgotten everything where he is. He doesn't even know who he is! So let's begin!" Ombre began concentrating on controlling Syaoran. (note: 'Syaoran' is how I will write the name of Syaoran's body that is attacking.)

Loup prepared for the attack.

Syaoran held out a hand. Thunder rained down on Loup and Sakura.

"Please sheild us!" Sakura shouted. Her Wand gave a feeble glow and manage to keep the worst of it off. Then the star went dark again.

"Sakura! I told you, to let me fight this fight alone! I have an advantage here! Why do you think this place is named Darkened World? Light doesn't exist here!" Loup shouted.

Sakura stepped back from him, afraid. She recovered though. "But-"

She was cut off, by Loup. He had done something to her voice. She couldn't talk anymore.

"Pardon, Sakura. J'eus faire ce," Loup apologized. He sounded as if he ment it. (trans: I am sorry Sakura. I had to do that. a/n once again, I am not sure if I got that all the way correct)

Sakura glared at him. She tried to move, but found she couldn't do that either.

Syaoran felt a shiver run through himself. The sky no longer was so blue. It had turned grey...Syaoran had forgotten so much. "Who am I? And these people that I can barely remember?"

FLASH!

A girl with bright emraulde eyes, and somewhat short light brown hair. Worried. Trying to move... Then, cherry blossoms...cherry blossoms...

Sakura.

FLASH!

Syaoran at least remembered her now. "Sakura..."

FLASH!
A boy that looked exactly like him. Only felt different, the eyes were different too. Speaking French. Then calling someone aibou...

Now filled with dark power...fighting. A hungry look in his eyes...like a wolf. Wolf...Loup.

FLASH!

A mirror. Amber eyes, that were tiered, yet happier than usual. The wavy brown hair. Also something of a wolf there...only not from Japan or France. Hong Kong...it could be seen on the shirt that was refelcted in the mirror. Himself. Little Wolf. Li Syaoran.

Syaoran's memories came back suddenly. He remembered now. His soul had been taken from his body. This is where it had gone. The dead always have wings. Syaoran knew what was happening now. Ombre...shadow...was using his body.

"That..." Syaoran growled. He also said a bunch of words that will not be repeated here.

"Sakura..."

Sakura struggled against whatever it was Loup had done to her. All to know effect. She was being ignored anyways. Just like the dream.

'Syaoran' sent forward the killing blow, that Sakura remembered so vividly.

I don't want it to come true...no....NO!! SYAORAN!!!!!!!

Light burst into exisitance all around Sakura. The bonds that had held her were gone. So was the gag.

Loup turned, distracted. The killing energy flew past him harmlessly.

*insert "Tooi Kono Machi De"*

The light enveloped Sakura's body. When it cleared, she had changed. Her wings had a greater wingspan, and the dress had changed. Now, instead of being a big, billowy dress, it was a short skirt, that spilit in the middle and fanned out to Sakura's saids. She had shorts on under it. The top part of the outfit, had long, shimmering, transluctiant sleeves that went to her wrists, but were very baggy. The main part of the top was pink, and stopped at her belly button. Tow strips of cloth, coming diagonly down from the top, connected the skirt/shorts, and the top. The staff had gotten longer also. Sakura's hair was all pulled together in the back.

"I will end this now, for Syaoran. And for Loup," She said quietly. Syaoran...please still be somewhere where I can find you...

Loup was dumbfounded. Her power grew again... he flet more lost than ever though, for he still couldn't feel his aibou.

Syaoran, Sakura thought at the same time, Loup cried out in his head;

/Syaoran../

Syaoran heard those two voices. He felt himself falling from the sky that he had been flying in. His robes became green again. "SAKURA!!! LOUP!" He hollered as he came back to his body.

Ombre grabbed her head, as she was forced out of Syaoran's body. It didn't feel good. As a matter of fact, it nearly killed her.

Syaoran's eyes returned to their original color and shine. His sking became a normal shade. He was back to normal.

"Syaoran!!!!" Sakura and Loup shouted with happiness. Both of them glomped him at the same time.

"Well, now that we've all witnessed this disgusting reunion," Malhueur interrupted.

"Oh yeah..there's still that," Loup muttered.

Sakura and Syaoran felt the same way.

Ombre was trembling. "L-loup! Take them and get out of here! She'll kill you! Leave please!" She shouted.

The three teenagers looked at her. Her eyes had changed color. They weren't black anymore, but blue. A startling blue.

"Ombre," Loup whispered.

Syaoran and Sakura gave him a look.

"What's happening to her?" Sakura asked.

Loup and Syaoran both had looks of extreme concentration.

"Well, apparentally that idiot was controlling her....no wander she began acting all weird, on me. Makes me sick to think that for awhile there I was sc-" Loup cut off there, turning red.

Syaoran and Sakura were both very gratefull.

"Loup, please! I still love you even though you loved another! So please go! Go before Malhueur takes you and uses you to-" Ombre's frantic pleading was cut off, as Malhueur killed her.

Loup began shaking.

Syaoran was too.

Their emotions were linked.

Sakura wasn't any less angry than they were.

Loup and Syaoran's powers became linked.

Sakura drew all she could into the Star Wand as Loup and Syaoran readied a strike at Malhueur.

"L'ombre se cache dans le nuit, attente pour la victime prochain. Mais, l' ombre chasse, seul survivre a et regagner un ancein perdu." (translatioin: The shadow lurks in the night, waiting for the next victume. But the shadow hunts only to survive and to regain the lost past. a/n: The "a" in "survivre a" should have an acent grave over it, but I don't know how to do accents on the computer)
