Chapter 7: First Encounters
**Just if you want to know what happened**
I gasped. THAT was Akumaki standing right in front of me!! I looked at Sakura who was loosing blood fast and couldn't do anything but watch as it drained out of her. I gasped.
Daijobu desu ka??? I cried worriedly.
Daijobu desu.go kill him. she replied weakly.
I nodded with a grim look on my face and got into a fighter's stance. This was going to get ugly.
AN: ON WITH THE STORY! Thanks to my loyal reviewers who reviewed me up to 55! =^^=
*Syaoran's POV*
He struck first with is sword. The slashed at me with amazing speed, I dodged just in time as it slashed the air. Kami-sama this guy was fast. I pulled out one of my Elemental Card and called Lightning to him. Lightning came out and fried him with a large lightning bolt. But when it hit him, he just laughed. That's what scared me. He could absorb Lightning! My eyes widened in fear. I couldn't beat this guy! But I took a fleeting glance at Sakura, the front of her throat now covered in blood. I thought about my confused feelings for her as she sat bound by the trees. That made me angrier as I charged him slashing as if there was no tomorrow. It was a good thing that Wei taught me so well. It was paying off. My razor sharp sword grazed him across the chest. It was only a mere scratch.
~Man this guy's gross. . .~ I said wrinkling my nose in disgust as he dipped a gloved finger into his own blood and tasting it.
He just smirked at me and sliced at me with the cold steel edge. That caught me off guard. It hit my in my left arm. I cried out in pain as blood gushed from my wound. But I was lucky, my sword arm was my right arm. I knew I couldn't rely on luck to win this battle. He assaulted me again but I dodged with my quick reflexes. Then I had an idea and decided to put it into play.
*Sakura's POV*
I watched out of heavy eyelids as I was about to faint because of the blood loss. Akumaki was a very skilled fighter, I don't know if Syaoran will stand a chance against him.
~What am I thinking?~ I mentally slapped myself.
~Syaoran's the best fighter you have ever known!!~ A small voice in my head yelled at me.
With renewed hope and energy, I snapped my eyes open and watched as Syaoran did a bvery/b tricky move. He feigned a sword strike, which Akumaki would have easily countered but instead ducked under his counter and sliced him in the leg.
~Very tricky move Syaoran. . .~ I thought grinning.
I looked down at myself; my whole front of my pink cherry blossom shirt was covered in blood.
~Man, this is my favorite shirt!~ I thought sadly.
I started to work on my bonds. The vines were covered in blood, so they stopped squeaking as loudly. Hopefully they were too preoccupied with the battle to pay any attention to me.
*Akumaki's POV*
I was now fighting with an injured leg. It hurt, but I would never show that. When he cut me, I just smirked and said "touché" but I it hurt like hell. We continued dodging and countering each other's attacks until I cut him in the right shoulder. He grimaced in pain but that didn't stop his powerful blows. He was tiring, as was I. His forehead was covered with beads of perspiration and they trickled, soaking his shirt. He just growled at the clinging garment and took it off revealing a very well built body for a young boy. This was a ~neutral~ time, so I took off mine. It was annoying me anyways. After we had both removed our shirts, we continued slashing and parrying at each other as if there were no tomorrow.
I used Fires Of Hell to surround us combined with Shadow Haze to make the ~battle area~ fogged with smoke surrounded by a ring of black fire. I knew I could see far better than he could in the darkness due to my exceptionally keen night vision. I could sense Syaoran turning around trying to see me through the swirling smoke. I backed away into the trees and crept around to him going to go deal the final blow. I carefully made my way over to his side, purposely going through the dense trees and brush. I raised my sword above my head ready to strike.
*Sakura's POV*
I finally had freed my bonds. I looked up at them. It was totally shrouded in smoke. I could tell from my keen hearing that Syaoran could not find him and he was turning wildly trying to see where he went. Then I closed my eyes concentrated all my thoughts on finding where Akumaki was. I reopened my eyes, which were now glowing white as I looked again. My illuminated eyes widened in horror as I saw Akumaki's sword flying towards Syaoran's head.
SYAORAN!!!! I screamed and ran towards him.
*Syaoran's POV*
I heard Sakura scream my name.
~Snap out of it Syaoran! CONCENTRATE!!~ a small voice in the back of my head screamed at me. Then I heard it, the unmistakable whizzing of a sword, coming from behind me. I moved to the right, but I wasn't fast enough to save my left shoulder from being cut directly to the bone. I screamed in agony as I fell to the ground. I could hear Sakura.
NOOO!! SYAORAN!!! LIGHT!
A bright light flashed up in front of me, a long endless tunnel with a white light shining in front.
I. . .love. . .you. . .Sakura. . . I whispered, then everything turned black.
*Sakura's POV*
NOOO!! SYAORAN!!! I screamed.
I called upon Light to temporarily blind Akumaki to keep him away from Syaoran. The Light Card surrounded the smoke and fire and completely vaporized them both. I looked at Akumaki who stumbled backwards and pulled out the most powerful cards and called upon all of them at once.
Firey, Windy, Watery, Earthy!!! RELEASE AND DISPEL!
All of the Elemental Cards flew out and attacked Akumaki while he was blinded for a time.
Meanwhile I was trying to tend Syaoran. He had passed out from exhaustion and blood loss. Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I tried to heal him, but I was so scared, I couldn't do it properly, my hands were trembling as I put them on his gashes.
IDon't be afraid, Let your spirit guide you. Keep calm, Stay cool./I
~Where did that come from?~ I thought confused.
But it seemed to calm me down as I concentrated my healing powers onto his cuts. A green wind flew out of my palms and onto the deep gashes healing them. When I had cleaned all of them up.
When I finished, I looked over to see Akumaki unconscious and all Cards back in the book. I silently said 'Thank You' to all the Cards and took the Fly Card out. Wings appeared on my back as I scooped Syaoran and his shirt up into my arms and took to the beautiful blue sky.
