Ch. 1 Take to the Sky

She slammed open the doors of the airport and ran into the parking lot. She stopped and looked at the sky. About a 1/4 of a mile away was the plane that was heading for Hong Kong. She started running in the direction of the plane. As she was doing this, she called upon her key. Her staff grew until full size. She tossed out a card. "Illusion! Make me invisible! Release!" She kept on running. Then she tossed out another card. "Fly!" A pair of large pinkish-white wings grew on her back. She jumped and took off toward the plane. The plane was slowly getting closer to her as she flapped her wings with great speed and strength. As she neared the plane she thought *How will he see me? Im invisible to the human eye."

She kept on thinking as she was flying along side with the plane she looked through the windows one by one till she reached the 13th window towards the front of the plane. An idea struck her. *Most of the people are reading, messing with laptops, cell phones, listening to music, or sleeping so the people who see me will think their lossing it. All except Syaoran and Meilin. Perfect!* "Illusion! Return!" The card reappeared in her hand and she became visible. She flew up to the 13th window. There sat Li Syaoran and Li Meilin. She flew until she was face to face with the window. She tapped it very lightly so not to catch anybodys attention except for Syaorans. Syaoran heard the small tap but thought it was his imagination and kept his eyes closed. Sakura tapped again. She was getting tired from the flapping of her wings. It was taking alot of her strenght to keep up with the plane. After the 3rd tap, Syaoran cracked an eyelid open. As soon as he saw Sakura at his window, his other eye shot open. He was shocked to see his beloved flying next to him. She slowly started to fall back but tried to keep up with all her might. When she saw Syaoran finally open his eyes a tear fell from her eye. A small smile appeared on her lips. She put her hand to the glass. As soon as he saw her hand lift up, his did the same unconcously. She was trying to tell him somthing. But what? He tried to read her lips but all he could make out was 'sorry'. Sakura looked at his face and noticed his eyes were getting watery. She repeated the sentence again.

"Im sorry for not telling you this sooner but, but, I love you with all my heart." That time Syaoran got most of it. He got 'Im sorry', 'not telling you sooner', 'love', and 'all my heart.' A smile appeared on his lips as he realized what she was trying to tell him. Meilin was already asleep next to him so she didn't have a clue any of this was going on. A few passagers saw Sakura out side flying next to the plane. Some though she was an Angel while other just thought they were lossing it. All of a sudden, Sakura's strength was almost all gone and her wings stopped flapping and in about 5 milliseconds she was no longer at Syaorans window. He looked back and saw her falling. His eyes grew wide as he realized she was too tired to flap any longer. He started to pound his fist against the window. At the same time, he was waking and distrurbing people. This caused for a flight attendent to place a hand on his shoulder.

"Sir. Please stop hitting the window. Your disturbing the people around you." Syaoran stopped. Thoughts and questions ran through his mind. *Did she pass out? Is she gonna be alright? Aggghhh! This is all my fault! I have to save her but how? Is she gonna die? No, Syaoran! Don't think like that! She's gonna be ok! After all, She is the card mistress! But still!* Many more thought and questions ran trough his head. He buried his head in his hands in frustration as a few tears accidentally slipped out. Good thing Meilin was a deep sleeper cause he didn't want her to see him crying. Or at least the few tears.

Sakura opened her eyes to see herself falling towards the ground at a high speed. She was thankful she didn't let go of her wand. She concentrated and tossed out a card with lightning speed and touched it with her wand. "Float! Float me safely to the ground!" She was then encased in a pink bubble and stopped her falling momentem. She was now slowly decending to the ground. When she landed collapsed to her knees and hands. She slowly lifted her head up to see where she was. She still didn't re-seal the fly card so she still had the wings on her back. She noticed she was in a corn field next to a deserted road. So was so tired she collapsed flat on her stomach and everything was becoming blured. She closed her eyes and decided maybe it'll go away if I close my eyes. When she opened them, everything was clear except it was morning now. As she got up, she noticed she still had wings. She recalled the Fly. "Fly! Return!" The card gently landed in the palm of her hand. "Thank you." She said to the card as she put it away. She stood strait up and looked out at the road. She was lost. She had no clue which way to go. And to top it off, There was no signs at all! She looked down at her watch. "Hhmmm, its 8:45 AM. I guess I fell asleep. I wonder what dad and Tori are doing now. Probably their eating breakfast now. They probably think im at Tomoyos now." Her stomach growled. "Ugh. Im sooo hungry! I haven't eatin anything since lunch yesterday."

An Idea hit her. "Create card! Create me some Toast, eggs, and a glass of orange juice! Release!" Within 2 seconds, Sakura had breakfast in front of her. While she ate she thought about how Li reacted when he saw her fall. She giggled at the thought of him asking himself all of these stupid questions like 'Is she gonna die?' or 'How do I get out of the plane to save her?' But her smile faded and her giggles were hushed at a though of them being apart for such a long time. She might not even see him again! When that thought came her eyes grew watery. *No! I can't cry! Crying wont do any good! I gotta be strong like Syaoran is! No more crying!* But a few tears leaked out anyways. "Create card! Create me a map so I can get home!" Before her was a map of where she was and where she lived. "Great. My house is about 20 miles from here! Maybe even more! Agghh! Well might as well get started." She started on her long journey home.

It was about 7:00 PM before she reached her house. She turned the door knob but it was locked. She trudged her way to the backyard. She reached the backdoor and tryed to open it but it was locked also. She sighed and flopped down in the grass and decided to wait. As she waited, more questions and toughts ran through her head. *What am I gonna tell dad when he get home? Ill just tell him 'accidentally' locked myself out of the house when I went for a walk. I hate lying but I can't tell him the truth either. He'll believe me cause he had to work and same with Tori. And how am I gonna tell Tomoyo that Li left? I know Kero's gonna be happy. But what about me? Will I be happy? No. But I know for sure he'll return to me. He has to. I know he will. I hope.* With that last thought, she fell asleep.

~4 years later~

~Dream~

"Whats going on? Everything is so dark. Wheres everyone? Dad? Tori? Anyone?" Suddenly a pair of foot steps were heard. They were getting louder with every step. 'Click' 'Click' 'Click' 'Click' Then they stopped. Sakura twirled around to see who it was but much to her dismay, nothing was behind her. Her body started to tremble. "Hello? Anyone there?" Then there was another pair of foot steps.

'Click' 'Click' 'Click' 'Click' And all went silent again. Next was a deep voice. "Do you take----" Then the sentence was cut off. All that was heard after that was, "I do." A thought ran through her head.

*Sounds like someones getting married, but who? That voice. It almost sounds like, like, Meilin! Is she getting married!? But to who?* Next was, "Do you take----" That sentence was also cut off. "Who's there?

Show yourself!" Next was, "I do." * That voice sounded like Syaorans! Is he marring Meilin!?* Suddenly the 2 figures appeared. It was Meilin and Syaoran. But KISSING!!!??? Sakura fell to her knees and stared in horror. But why be upset? She should be happy for them. Shouldn't she? Her eyes started to water and her breath became shallow. Tears ran down her face and her breathing was uneven. She bald her hand into a fist and slammed it hard against the ground. She kept on slamming her fist onto the ground while yelling, "No! Why me!? WHY ME!? NO!!! Why am I the only one to suffer!?" Her fist stopped and blood dripped to the ground. She didn't care. Not anymore. All she wanted to do was kill herself. She fell over and buried her head into her arms. "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I CAN'T!" She slammed down her fist again and again but the only pain came from the sight from in front of her, not her fist. She slammed down her other fist along with the other and after about 10 blows to the ground, her other fist was also bleeding. She stopped and stuck her head in her hands. When she lifted her hands away, she had blood smeared all over her face, hair, and hands. She looked like she went into war and some how survived but with alot of injuries. She looked up and saw they were still kissing. She shut her eyes together trying to get the image to disappear but even with her eyes closed, the image kept on replaying itself in her head. Sakura grabbed her head with both hands.

"I SAID STOP! NO MORE! I CAN'T TAKE IT! STOP! STOP!" More tears ran down her face. The tears turning red from the blood on her face. She kept her eyes closed and refused to open them, afraid that something worst would be projected in front of her. "Stop! Please stop! Stop. Make them go away."

Her yelling was reduced to soft whispers. "Please stop. No more."

~Sakura's Room~

*Oh look at her. I feel so sorry for her. I wish I could help but how?* Tomoyo sat by Sakura's bed side and was holding her hand. She felt something wet. She looked down to her hand and noticed it was smeared in blood. This was the first. Sakura's been having the same nightmare for 6 weeks now but this was the first time she saw Sakura's hands bleed. And for no reason at all. Her face stared in horror. Whaterver that dream is, its really is hurting her. Mentally and physically. Tomoyo's face grew a worried look.

*I know! I'll call Li and tell him whats happening! He'll know what to do!* With that thought, she reached into her bag and pulled out her cell phone and dialed Li's number.

'Ring' 'Ring' 'Ring' 'Click' A male voice was heard on the other line. "Hello." "Hi, is Li there?"

"Excuse me but which Li? We all have the same last name." Tomoyo sweatdropped. "Oh yeah, sorry, I mean Syaoran." "Yeah, please wait." After about 20 seconds of yelling back and forth on the other line, a familiar male voice appeared on the other line. "Hello?" "Hi, this is Tomoyo, is that you Li?" There was a slight pause. "TOMOYO!? Is that really you?" "Yeah, but I have somthing more important to tell you."

"Yeah, what is it?" "Well, you see, Sakura's been having these nightmares and they've been goin on for the last 6 weeks. She keeps on yelling and today something strange happened." Li's face grew worried.

"And?" "And this morning her hands started to bleed for no reason at all. Isn't that strange?"

"Yeah. Is she alright now?" "No. She's still dreaming and I can't seem to wake her up. No matter how much I try. And---" Tomoyo stopped talking when Sakura started talking again. On the other line, Li could clearly hear what Sakura was saying. "STOP! MAKE IT ALL STOP! JUST LET ME DIE! I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE! STOP!" Li's face grew in horror at what he just heard. A lump was stuck in his throat. "Not only that, earlier she said your name and Meilins. Something about you two getting married." "But, Meilin's engaged to somebody else. We broke off our engagement several years ago. I thought I told you. Didn't I?"

"Nope, ya didn't. I really think you should----" Li had dropped the phone and was already out the door. He ran as fast as he could down to the airport. When he arrived he bought a ticket for the next flight for Japan. He didn't have to wait long. Only about an hour. When his flight was called he ran into the plane and tossed the ticket to woman. He took his seat up front.
