Card Summoners
Now and Forever

By AnimeGamer


-----------------

It's been a week since that night at Penguin Park. All the damage done by the two cardcaptors mysteriously disappeared the next day. Sakura and Syaoran were in a coma for 3 days after. Ever since then, the two have been inseperable, both of them always saying sorry instead of hello whenever they wake up in the morning. Sakura forced Touya to apologize to Syaoran for the beating he got from Touya, and almost everyone stayed over at the Kinamoto residence.

Finally, one night one week after the incident last week...

It was a slightly cold evening, but it really didnt affect Sakura and Syaoran much...at least Syaoran anyway. They relaxed outside on the Syaoran's apartment balcony.

"Syaoran...I wonder...do you still remember that night?"
"It was only 3 months ago. Why do you ask?"
"Well...um...can you give me one of those Chinese massages again?" Sakura said blushing.
"Um...well...what about the others?" Syaoran asked, holding back from blushing, and indicating to Touya, Aiden, Tomoyo, and all the others.
"It's not like they are going to barge in on us Syaoran...no one will know..."
"Well...I guess..." Syaoran said, leaving his position to go back in.
"Syaoran, wait. I want to talk some more first..."
"Sure..."
"I still can remember everything we did that day..."
"I know Sakura, I dont think both of us wont forget."
"Well, anyway, I think we both changed from then..."
"For better or for worse?"
"For better...until our split sides decided to crash the party."
"Say...just what did you say to Ying Fa?"
"She was just scared...of me."
"Of you?"
"Yeah...she's more powerful than me, but she was afraid of me. She thought I was going to lock her up on the edge of my mind again."
"I see..."
"Syaoran?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think it is possible?"
"I do...it may only last a while, but we should be ready for him if he goes after us."
"Yeah..."

So after a couple more minutes of talking, the two sneaked into Syaoran's room, locked the door (with an additional lock with the lock card) and the two gave each other massages...okay, im just leading you to believe that. You think what happened, you all have imaginatons, right...? Anyway, a few hours after the two went to sleep, at 2:00 AM at night...

"Sakura?"
"He's here Syaoran..."
"I know."
"What should we do?"
"First, we have to get them away from the others, like you said, you dont want them to get hurt."
"Syaoran...he stopped..."
"He knows we'll be coming. I'm guessing he's at Penguin park."
"Well, at least before we go, we should go get dressed."
"Hmm? Oh..." Syaoran blushed, as he just noticed both he and Sakura were still in their *ahem* underwear *ahem* and Syaoran quickly got in his battle attire, while Sakura got in Tomoyo's new battle outfit. Sakura was wearing a pink hat that looked like Syaoran's, she had a pink cape with a bright orange bow tying the cape around her neck. She wore a bright and dark yellow slightly tight leather long-sleeved shirt and shorts, with bright yellow gloves. Purple socks went up over the knees, and she wore red and bright yellow shoes.

"Let's go." Syaoran said.
"Right." Sakura replied back.

The two jumped out of Sakura's window, and Sakura used the fly card while Syaoran used his wind fol to start heading over to Penguin Park. Suddenly, someone was calling out to them. The two looked down to see Meilin and an Alakazam.

"Meilin. Your not coming with us." Syaoran said sternly, landing on his feet, Sakura had her wand change back.
"Syaoran, stubborn as always. Anyway, the others knew you were going to do this, and are not going to come unless you guys are really in trouble. " Meilin stated.
"So why are you here?" Sakura asked.
"I have to give some things to Syaoran. Oh yeah, you forgot this Sakura." Meilin took out the Clow Card book, and handed it to Sakura. Syaoran gave a quizzical look at Sakura.
"I'd take them, but I couldn't or else Kero would've noticed."
"This two things are for Syaoran." Meilin took out a small rectangle, and a pink orb. Syaoran took both, he opened the box to find new fols.
"These...are Grandfather Li's!"
"Your grandfather wanted to give these two to you."
"Grandfather...made these for me, didnt he?"
"He did. I looked at them, their 5 new fols. There is Fire Orb, Heavy Bolt, Razor Wind, Stop Motion, and Ice Spears."
"Thanks, demo...I dont need this sword." Syaoran said, holding up the pink orb pendant.
"Well, at least look at it." Meilin said. Syaoran grasped the orb and released it, but it didnt do nothing, and he caught the orb.
"The sword didnt summon...why?"
"I dont know..."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the Lazen Board landed only a few feet away, one of it's corners dug into the ground.
"The Lazen Board?" Syaoran said, wondering how it got there. He went over and picked it up.
"Grandfather Li said something about the Lazen Board, said that 'it's not just a pretty light', I dont know what he means."
"Hmm...well, we better get going." Syaoran said, looking over to Sakura, nodding her head.
"Good Luck." Meilin said as she and her Alakazam disappeared. Sakura and Syaoran took flight with Syaoran's Wind fol and Sakura's Fly card.

<(o^.^o)><(o~.~o)><(o^.^o)><(o~.~o)>

Sakura and Syaoran landed, wind blowing away dust all around them. The figure stood above the slide.

"Where are your friends? You surely dont hope you'll win in your current statuses."
"Watch us." Sakura said, her grip tightening on her wand.
"You two will severally regret not bringing your friends along." The figure said, the wind flapping his cape, as well as flapping Sakura's cape and parts of Syaoran's outfit.
"You'll regret overestimating us." Syaoran said, as he lept up into the air, Sakura pulled out a card.
"Lighting!"
"Thunder!"
The spell and the card combined to create a powerful lighting attack, the figure was hit, but not fazed at all. Syaoran came down sweeping with a overhead slash, but the figure jumped away, as Syaoran landed on top of the slide, where the figure stood. Sakura jumped over Syaoran using the jump card, and using the power and sword card, came down on the figure, but the figure just simply slightly moved and Sakura missed her overhead swing, causing the ground to crack open. Dust flew everywhere, imparing the vision of all three, and Sakura jumped over onto a branch, and looked over to Syaoran. Syaoran already summoned Stingmon and Flamedramon. Sakura quickly summoned Pikachu and an Dragonite.

The figure just blasted all four, and they reverted back to card form.
"Those didnt work!"
"We have to try something else."
"What about using an summon beast?"
"No way! It takes time to summon one, and that time is so long, we'll have both our heads off before we know it."
"What about one of those fols of yours?"
"I guess I'll try them out now."

Syaoran pulled out one of his new fols.
"Razor Wind!" Syaoran yelled out, and the wind blew the dust away, revealing where the figure was, then with the wind, it started to cut up the figure's cloak, and the figure took to surprise of this, and leaped into the air, and landed safely away from the fol's area effect.
"Impossible. That is an attack by one of the Li Elders."
"Like I said, dont underestimate us!" Syaoran yelled back.
"Hmph. Lets see if you can avoid this." The figure said, putting his hand out.
"Open the hole to hell! Hell's Hole!" The figure shot something under the tree Sakura was standing at, and the tree was being pulled into the ground, and Sakura lepted off, but the hole followed. Sakura used fly and stayed up in the air. Sakura made her way over the figure, and the figure saw what she was doing, and the hole headed toward Syaoran, and Syaoran used his wind fol to hover over the hole, and dashed toward the figure, and made another swipe, but it connected with a barrier.
"There's no way to beat me." The figure said, and blasted Li with a dark chi blast, and almost went in the hole if not for Sakura, who managed to get him on her wand. Suddenly, the pink orb pendant flew out of Syaoran's pocket, and fell toward the hole, and went in, and then the orb was spit out and the hole closed up.

"What?!?!?!" The figure yelled out. Syaoran looked at the orb as he leapted down and landed next to it and picked it up, and examined it more closely, as Sakura landed behind Syaoran. Suddenly, Sakura's wand, Syaoran's sword, the Lazen Board, and the Pink Orb started to illuminate, and the wand and sword returned to pendant form, and the board floated between Sakura and Syaoran. The two looked at the board, as the pink orb floated over the middle of the spinning board, the pendants between themselves and the orb. Suddenly, the orb split in two, the Lazen Board activated, and the Green orb turned into an rainbow color, and released to show a green handle, and a longer and broader blade. The wand released, showing not the sealing wand, but basically the wand used in CCS season 2. The Board suddenly and abuptly stopped.

Syaoran looked at the board, as he heard his grandfather's voice, and the board changed into a shield, with the look of the board on the surface. Syaoran took what looked like a Buckler on his left arm, and held his sword on his right hand.

"I see, the Li Clan Elder gave you the Life Orb. Let me demostrate the power of the opposing orb then, the Death Orb!" The figure showed a purple orb, and it transformed into a double-edged sword, it's aura was seen, and it was purely purple.

"Power of Darkness, surround thy enemy, show them no mercy! Death Dome!" A dome was cast over Sakura and Syaoran, and began to get smaller.

"Syaoran!"
"We have to get out of here!"
"Syaoran...grandson. You must use the power within, not the powers of the external. Trust in the magic of the Lazen board, and the power of those you truely fear."
"Those who I truely fear...? I get it!"
"Get what?"

Syaoran closed his eyes.
'Xaolan, I need your power...'
'Syaoran? The Heart? Needing my power?'
'I place trust in you Xaolan. I need your power to face my foe.'
'Then, if that is the case, let us get started, for I cannot miss fighting a battle.'

Syaoran began to glow green, Sakura understood what Syaoran was doing, and a pink aura summoned around her. The eyes of Syaoran and Sakura changed to the color of their auras. The shield suddenly came alive, dispelling the dark magic.

"IM---IMPOSSIBLE!!!!" The figure said, as the two looked over to the figure. "I WILL DEFEAT YOU!!!!HAAAAA!!!" The figure suddenly blasted forth an awesome black energy blast. Syaoran simply held up the Lazen Board Shield (which will be referred to as the Lazen Shield from now on.) and stood in front of Sakura. The blast hit the shield, and split in all directions, as the white magic of the shield protected the two.

"Shield." The shield card covered of Sakura and Syaoran, over the Lazen Shield's white magic barrier.
"Sword! Power! Fly!" Sakura summoned the three cards, and her wand changed into a sword, her pink aura got alot stronger, and she sprouted wings. Sakura took to the air, and came toward the figure at high speed. The figure avoided her swipe, and turned around and used a small black energy blast and it went right though Sakura's shield and knocked her out of the air, and made her land on a branch. Syaoran charged, he used an overhead swing and missed, but quickly recovered and made a fury of slashes, swings, and stabs. The figure barely avoided and blocked each one. The figure jumped into the sky to get away from the heavily superior fighter. Syaoran pulled out the Heavy Bolt fol, and Sakura pulled out the thunder card.

"Heavy Bolt!"
"Thunder! Release and dispel!"

The two attacks combined into an awesome lighting attack, and hit the figure in mid-air. The figure fell to the ground, his cloak and everything else smoking from the attack as he stood up. Syaoran was already on him, attacking away. In a surprise move however, the figure managed to counter-attack, and knock away the Lazen Shield from Syaoran's arm. The figure threw Black Energy balls left and right toward Syaoran, he couldn't get close to the figure anymore.

"Shot!" Sakura sent white energy shots from the shot card from her wand. The figure avoided the shots, while shooting back and keeping Syaoran at bay. Almost instantly, the figure disappeared and reappeared behind Sakura.

"This ends now Ying Fa, Sakura, or whomever else you call yourself. NOW!" The figure put his hand on Sakura's back, as she only managed to look behind her before she was enveloped by an awesome black energy ball. The energy ball took Sakura with it as it headed toward Syaoran. Syaoran jumped up in the air to avoid it, but it came coming right back him. Syaoran got to the Lazen Shield, and the black energy split away, as Sakura was floating in the air. She was bleeding everywhere, cut marks were all over her costume, as her feet touched the ground, then she fell to her knees. Syaoran was right by her side and held her before the rest of her can hit the ground. Blood smeared over Syaoran's battle robe, as he held Sakura close.

"Sakura! Stay alive!"
"Sy--aoran...im...sorry..."
"Dont be sorry yet Sakura. I cant do this without you..."
"y--you must...f--for my sake...f-for e-everyone's s-sake."
"NO! Your not going down on me!" Syaoran held her tightly, as he sent half of her energy to healing her.
"I will not let you heal her! She will die!!!" The figure sent pointed up in the air, and 10 Black Lighting Bolts came down on Sakura and Syaoran, but the Sakura Cards and the Lazen Shield didnt let the bolts touch them. After 10 minutes, Sakura was fully healed, but the energy lost or used by both of them was tremendous. The figure kept attacking, each time the Lazen Shield and the Sakura Cards were using their shielding power. Finally, just when Syaoran fully healed Sakura, 10 more came down, and the shield busted, and was about to hit Syaoran and Sakura, when it suddenly stopped. Syaoran helped Sakura up as quickly as he could, out of the bursted shield, as the Stop Motion fol burned up and the 10 bolts hit the ground, knocking the two into the air. Syaoran landed on one knee, as he held Sakura in his arms. He quickly put Sakura down, as he felt so tired, he couldn't carry Sakura any further since most of his energy was drained. The Sakura Book and the Lazen Shield landed in front of the two. They crawled over to the two objects, and picked them up.

'I must...get...up...' Syaoran said, as the figure started walking toward them. Syaoran, slowly got up, holding only the Lazen Shield with two hands toward the figure. Sakura stood up next to him, putting the book over the middle of the shield. Suddenly, the shield came out of Syaoran's hands, and the book floated over the shield as the shield became parallel to the ground. The wand and the sword became one white object, and Sakura and Syaoran grabbed the object. Sakura was about to fall, but Syaoran supported her with his left arm, and Sakura put both hands on the object. The object got extremely bright, then the book turned into a rainbow orb, and joined the object, and the object turned into a white orb, as a white light emitted onto the figure, which made him stop, and look away in agony.

"The white orb went into the light, and shined rainbow colors, and the ball accelerated forward though the light at a high speed, and smashed into the figure, and a big explosion followed, enveloping the Penguin Park Slide area, the figure, and Sakura and Syaoran as well.

<(o^.^o)><(o~.~o)><(o^.^o)><(o~.~o)>

Sakura opened her eyes and saw an umfamiler ceiling. She looked over to her right side, and there laid Syaoran, oxygen mask on, machines hooked up to him. She found she was also hooked up to machines, and also had a oxygen mask on. She looked back up, and then her eyes closed.

'Thank you...Sakura.'
'Ying Fa! Where are you!?'
'Someplace quiet within your you and Syaoran, with Xaolan.'
'Xaolan? I...understand.'
'I knew you'd understand.'
'When will we meet again?'
'When you need me again...the powers you used were not mine. They were of the cards, the Sakura Cards...'
'The...Sakura Cards...?'
'Trust in Syaoran...as I now do trust in Xaolan...'
'I will...with my heart...'
'You are the heart...until we meet again...'

Sakura and Syaoran woke up, amongst friends. Everyone was there, all happy to see both of them awake.
"Kami-sama...thank you for reviving these two out of their week long coma..." Meilin said quietly, as everyone cheered.

<(o^.^o)><(o^.^o)><(o^.^o)><(o^.^o)>

The stars were glimmering in the sky, they shone brightly, nearly covering the whole night sky. A shooting star came down, and the girl next to him pointed it out. He looked at it with amazement, as it faded from view.

"Syaoran...about the cards..."
"What about the Clow Cards?"
"Well...my 'other side' Ying Fa said that she didnt power the cards. She said it was the 'Sakura Cards', what does this mean?"
"I wouldn't know...but one thing is certain."
"What is that?"
"Im staying...for good."
"f-for good?"
"Yeah. Their going to appoint a temporary leader until I come back to them, and they said to take my time."
"You mean...they wont bother us no more? You dont have to go back?"
"Yeah...this means I can be by your side..."
Sakura stood, shedding tears of happiness as she then hugged Syaoran tightly, as Syaoran put his arms around her waist, and rested his head on Sakura's shoulder.
"Sakura...im yours...now and forever."
"As im yours Syaoran...now and forever."

--------------------

Well, I was going to do something unexpected, but I just decided to save it for use later. I did leave a little hint of something in there. But in case you didnt get it because your acting dense, it means there might be a possible third story to make this an trilogy. Anyway, did you guys think I'd reveal the figure to be someone's mom or dad? Nope, didnt want to do that, didnt feel like it. If I'm saying I didnt feel like it, that means I really need a break from writing fanfiction. Plus, with finals coming up soon, I got enough worries as it is...(im gonna get creamed in his language finals) Anyway, I just did a bad ending, and im not really happy about it. Oh well, I really want to relax for a bit, and maybe wait til finals and the rest of the 1st semester blows over. So, that is about it, so please, R+R, all flames, comments, and compliments welcome. (Like anyone is reading this anyway.)
