*Vampire Mistress Sakura Part V: Taking Action*
AN: I'm so glad you all are enjoying the story and just for you guys, I'm getting this chapter out early. =)
Li Syaoran had returned home, working on a plan to save his love. He had helped Serra to her bedroom to rest when he heard Sakura's soft voice in his mind telling him to beware. He tried to answer her back but it was no good. Suddenly, Touya came flying out of nowhere.
"Where's my Imouto, gaki??!?!?" Touya growled, grabbing Syaoran's collar. Syaoran let loose a growl of his own. This was not the time for this, he had to save Sakura. Suddenly, Yukito came into the room followed by Kero-chan. Yuki ran to Touya and grabbed his arm, making him let go of Syaoran.
Kero flew up to Syaoran and landed on his shoulder,"G...gaki.......Sakura....attack...Mystica...."
Syaoran looked at Kero and actually felt bad for the guardian, "Calm down, stuffed animal and take a deep breath, then try explaining again."
Yukito had left and returned with a glass of water. Holding it out to Kero, the small guardian beast took a swallow. Touya just stood there glaring, "Will somebody please...?"
Syaoran glared back, then turned his attention to Kero once again. Kero took one last long breath and started trying to explain once again.
"Sakura's going to come after you. The leader of the vampires is going to make her attack you..." Kero started.
"NANI?!?!?" Both Syaoran and Touya exclaimed as one.
"I...I can't fight her." Syaoran frowned, "There's got to be someway out of this. That must have been what she was trying to tell me. She told me to beware."
Kero nodded, "The leader is a woman named Mystica. Sakura tried to fight her but was unsuccessful."
"Is she alright?" Touya broke in.
"Hai, for now. Mystica is trying to convert her."
Touya nodded, then surprisingly, he turned to Syaoran, "Listen Gaki, I..I hate to admit it, but you are the only one that can help her. With Serra out of commision for now, you are the only one of us that is even equal to Sakura."
Syaoran offered his hand, declaring a truce between the two, just for now, "I promise I'll bring her back, safe and sound."
"You better." Touya muttered, but accepted Syaoran's hand. Sudddenly a soft voice was heard, "I'm coming too."
Tomoyo entered the room, walking straight over to the group.
"You're not going, Daidouji-san." Syaoran turned to her, putting one hand on her shoulder, "This is way too dangerous."
"Iie, it's not, I'm going."
"You're not."
"I am."
"You are not!"
"I am too, Sakura-chan is my best friend, and I am going to be there, whether you like it or not, Li-kun!"
Syaoran's eyes widened. He had never seen Tomoyo this angry before. Finally he relented, "Fine. You can go, but you will stay out of the way, understand?"
"Understood." Tomoyo's frown instantly turned into a small smile. Syaoran just shook his head, he never would understand women, no matter how hard he tried. Kero and Yukito stood to the side chuckling softly. Even Touya had a half smile on his face. As soon as the fight between Syaoran and Tomoyo had started, all three had wisely moved out of the way.
Syaoran went to grab his sword, returning it to it's smaller form, he fastened it around his neck, "Ready to go Daidouji-san?"
Tomoyo nodded and headed out the door, followed by Kero. Syaoran gave Touya and Yukito one last nod before following.

Sakura was already on her way to meet Syaoran.
After being 'briefed' one more time by Mystica, she had sent Sakura out. Sakura had tried her best to fight it, but the head vampiress was just too strong. Still, there had to be some way to stop this.
Suddenly, she sensed Syaoran's aura. She should have known that he wouldn't heed her warning. Crossing to one more rooftop, she met her beloved face to face.
Syaoran walked up her, looking her straight in the eyes, "Sakura-chan?" He whispered. Tomoyo had kept her word and stood of to the side, a worried expression plainly clear on her face.
"Get away." Sakura whispered, tears beginning to form in her eyes, "I can't stop her, she's too strong. Please, get away now."
"I can't...I won't, I'm not going to leave you like this."
Suddenly, Sakura attacked...
Luckily, Sakura had managed to shout out a warning, giving Syaoran enough time to dodge her attack.
Sakura looked at Syaoran, blood tears streaming down her face, "Gomen, Syaoran-kun, gomen."
Syaoran nodded, wishing he coould take her in his arms, "I forgive you, Sakura-chan, I know it's not you."
The two continued to circle around each other. Sakura charged foward once again, this time, slicing Syaoran's arm with her fingernails.
He winced, grabbing his arm. He had to find someway to stop her without hurting her, and without him getting killed in the process.
Suddenly, Sakura pulled out a long staff. The end of it had been sharpened to a fine point. Syaoran knew he had to do something. Grabbing the stone around his neck, he called his sword forward.
The two began to spar, Sakura attacking and Syaoran blocking. He thanked Kami-sama that Sakura had been his teacher with his vampiric abilities and that he knew most of her moves from back when they had card captored together.
This continued for quite some time, until Sakura saw an opening. She brought her staff up and as Syaoran moved to block it, she used vampiric speed and brought it back down, slicing open Syaoran's stomach with the sharpened end. Syaoran dropped his sword, falling to his knees. Sakura raised her staff for the finally blow....
"Sakura-chan, NO!!!!" Tomoyo came running out of her hiding place. Sakura looked at her best friend, then at the fallen Syaoran. Squeeing her eyes shut, she let out a soft growl, "I...I'm not going to do this! I refuse to!" With that, Sakura brought the staff down...
Into her own chest.
Yes, I know I'm bad.......*dodges the tomatoes* I just had to do it! I haven't left a really good cliffhanger in a long time! I'll have the next chapter posted soon, I promise! Please read and review! =)
