Sorry, I took so long to have this chapter out!Thank you to those that reviewed! ^_^ Arigatou Gozaimasu!
Sakura, the regular ol' school girl and now, she's a Mahou Shoujo. Sakura smiled the sun falling in streaks on the ground. She skated along humming the tune to 'Koucha'. She sang the words "The cherry-blossoms at the subway entrance will bloom again this y" She stopped suddenly when her felt someone staring at her "Hoe?" She turned around and Li Syaoran stood there, not with a cold nor happy face. "Li-kun," they looked at each awkwardly before Syaoran spoke up "So, what song were you singing?" Sakura blushed, so he heard her singing "Um.." she sweatdropped 'Must have sound like sh' she thought. Syaoran cut her off her thoughts "Um.do you want to gofor awalk?" Sakura nodded "Hai!"
They walked together, unaware that someone was watching them from behind. Sakura let the breeze flow through her hair "What's the harm he can do?" Syaoran looked at Sakura "Um" She turned to him "Yes?" Syaoran couldn't force her into giving him the pendant, little could he just back away from asking." Syaoran smiled, for the first time "You're clothes are nice" he looked away quickly. Sakura stopped confused, the only people that said that was her family, Tomoyo and Eriol, thinking about Eriol 'Where is Eriol anyway?' she wondered aloud. Syaoran stopped and turned to her "What? What did you just say?" Sakura shook it off "Nothing.." Syaoran nodded an 'Alright'. Sakura trotted up to him "Um.where *are* we going anyway?" Syaoran snickered, though she couldn't see his face "Just a little further" Sakura followed him into an open area with a cliff over one side "Syaoran-ku" Syaoran held a finger to his lips "Shh.." he placed his cards around him in a half circle "Hitenshourai!" Sakura gasped and held her hands over her eyes from the bright emitting from the half circle. "You can look now" Syaoran's voice echoed, Sakura slowly took her hands away from her eyes. "Syaoran?" Syaoran held out his hand to her "Koko ni Kite" Sakura slowly walked up to him and almost grabbed his hand when. A rock came flying and hit Syaoran on the head, making the magic circle go away.
Sakura looked around sort of expecting something to come and hit her too. Instead she saw her brother standing there with another rock juggling in his hand. "Oniichan" she frowned, something in the corner of her she caught something moving in the bushes, she rushed over to the bushes, leaving Syaoran with swirly eyes. "Chotto Matte o kudasai!" she ran after the person "Matte!" she stopped in her tracks as she was running to a cherry-blossom field. "Hoe?" she saw one bench with dark blue haired boy on it "Eriol-san!" She walked up to him "What are you doing here?" Eriol had a small dark blue box in his hand and he was juggling it in one hand. "ERIOL!" she yelled, though he couldn't seem to hear or see her. Eriol turned around, but didn't look at her, but thorough her! "Eriol?" she whispered so quietly, Eriol got up, sighed and walked up to Sakura. Or something like up to her, but he went right thorough her! "Eriol-sama." She looked shocked "Nani..?" she looked over her shoulder and saw Eriol disappear through the cherry-blossom petals. Crack Sakura heard a noise behind her and turned around swiftly "Dare desu ka!?" Syaoran emerged from the trees holding his head, his eyes, cold, dark, not waterspots in them. "Syaoran-kun!" Syaoran had a black void appearing around him. "SYAORAN-KUN!!" Syaoran couldn't hear her screams and hehe no longer looked like Syaoran. His hair and body changed completely, his hair was light green with a horn and a black band across his forehead, there were 3 marks like someone had scratched him on his right cheek. His clothes were white and baggy and those eyes, looked like Yue's except with red eyes and black slits like a cat. (AN: If you're having a hard time imagining him like thisjust imagine Syaoran looking like Valgaav from Slayers ^_~)
"Sakura!" she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Eriol" Eriol looked the same, just this time he could see and hear her. "Hikari no Ken!" Eriol summoned the light from the handle of the sword he was carrying. Syaoran smirked "Hikari no kendon't think about it" Syaoran emitted a fire ball from his hand and fired twice at Eriol. Eriol dodged them both with ease. "Is that all you can do?" a small smile snuck up Syaoran's face. "HITENSHOURAI!!!!" Syaoran yelled and thunder came crashing down every where, Sakura and Eriol both had a hard time dodging it. A small bolt of thunder sliced the sleeve of Sakura blouse and left a long bleeding line down her arm. "Ouch" Sakura tried to cover it up as much as she can. Eriol had his own problems, he saw Sakura get cut, but he was having trouble getting to her. "Sakurahold on.." every where he moved a lighting bolt would come within centimeters of hitting him. "There one way" Eriol summoned a card "Illusion!" probably a thousand Eriol's could be seen around. The 'real' Eriol made his way to Sakura while the others busied Syaoran. Syaoran eyes darted from every place as a million Eriol all over the place tried to get away. One of the Eriol attacked Syaoran from behind, with the Hikari no Ken. Of Course it didn't do much damage, since the only real sword could do a huge ammount of damaged. But, since Eriol made loads of himself and the sword, the damage that could be done the same ammount of the one sword itself.
The 'real' Eriol carried Sakura behind a tree, and tried to clot the bleeding quickly. He summoned the first spell that came to his mind "Recovery!" Sakura's arm stopped bleeding and a bandage wrapped around her arm. "Arigatou.." she stuttered out, "It's my fault" Eriol covered Sakura as a light bolt nearly hit the tree. "He wants this" Sakura pulled the pendant out of her blouse, Eriol looked at her with worried eyes "No..if he takes ithe won't be able to control it, you're the only one that can control it Sakura." Sakura hugged him "Ack..off" Sakura blushed and held Eriol tighter as another lightbolt nearly hit them. Eriol took a peek from behind the tree "Illusion is wearing off" Eriol summond the Hikari no Ken once again and went back out to fight Syaoran.
"What do you want!" Eriol yelled out to Syaoran. Syaoran snickered "All I want is the pendant!" Syaoran sent out a huge bolt of lighting, Eriol held the Hikari no Ken in the air leting the sword absorb the energy. "Don't think of it, Li Syaoran.come up with new attacks, HAYAKU!" Eriol jumped behind him and tried to drive the sword through Syaoran, butEriol had no magical energy left "Kusou" Syaoran smiled evilly at the weak Eriol, Syaoran gave him the lighting treatment that sent Eriol flying to the other side of the field. Sakura watched, her eyes filling with tears and ran up to Eriol "Erioltalk to me!" Eriol opened his eyes slowly "Sa-akurayou can do itdefeat him" Eriol eyes fell closed. Sakura let the tears fall, she was crying, "Eriol-sanNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" her scream echoed through the night.
She felt her chest grow hot, she pulled the pendant out, it was glowing. Syaoran looked on "That's it" Sakura felt herself being pulled into a circle of fierce heat. Cloths, Clothes were being put on her, after a minute of being in the heat. Sakura looked at herself, she wasn't wearing her school uniform anymore, instead she Kimono like thing. She was wearing a top to a chinese dress with a fire dragon on it, the bottom half was a dark red skirt that was spilt in front (not to high) so it would be easy to move with a dragon on it. Her pendant had changed, she held a staff in her hand, it looked like her pendant only had a longer area below the head and the key part was gone. "Hoeyou didn't see me naked did you??" Sakura face turned red and so did Syaoran's. Cards then floated quickly around Sakura, "@_@ Hoe!?" One card stopped in front of her.The Ryu Card (The dragon card) "RELEASE!!" she tapped the card with the beak of her staff. A large fire dragon came out of the card and sat high in the sky. Syaoran looked up "So.this the Mousho cards power" the dragon circled his body around Syaoran "This is what I was summoned for" Syaoran looked around him, no place to escape, trapped he was trapped. He saw Sakura standing there looking nearly beat, sweat was dripping off her face and holding her staff in front of her. Sakura's magic was draining fast, evidently she made a promise to herself, only use the Ryu card when you really need it, "I won't give up" she breathed heavily "EriolI'll die for you if I have to" The dragon was growing impaitent "Can I finish him off now?" Sakura nodded. The dragon tightened his grip and made it hard. Sakura could see Syaoran's pain, the pain growing in those eyes. "Finish it!" The dragon did one final move and Syaoran dissapeared. Sakura collapsed on the ground breathing hard, she did it, she still had very little magic left over. "Return.." she said quietly, she crawled over to where Eriol was. She felt tears stinging in her eyes again "Recovery" she said the spell and then fell unconcious.
Eriol rubbed the back of his head "Itai" he looked down and picked Sakura up in his arms "You did it, Sakura-chan" Sakura's body glowed, Eriol couldn't see a flash of skin then she had her school uniform back on. A blush crawled on Eriol's cheek like no tommorow "Atleast, you're alright.." he picked up Sakura and the pendant laying on the ground.
Sakura woke up not much later in her bed at home, she felt someone holding her hand. Her eyes started to water "Eriolyou'll stay with me forever right?" Eriol kissed her forehead "It's a promise then.."

"Sakura!" Eriol ran after Sakura as they were in a race to school. The moment they got to the gate Sakura glomped him "I won!" Eriol pulled her away, he didn't feel like breaking the bad news right now. "Um, I have something to tell youmeet me after school in the cherry-blossoms field. Sakura smiled "Alright! See ya' then!" she waved and ran off to her first class. Eriol didn't relize how long he was standing there, he felt a hand on his shoulder "You better get to class." Eriol snapped out of his day dreaming, bowed then left in a hurry.
Sakura sat on the bench in the place he told her to meet him
after school. "Eriol-kun!" she glomped him the minute
she saw him, but he didn't look to happy "Doushite?"
Eriol motion her to sit down and Sakura did so. "I..I don't
want to say this Sakura"
"Why?"
"I'm going back to England"
