Cardcaptor Syaoran
The Dark Clow Saga

Chapter 9: My beloved, my eternal, my Sakura
I opened my eyes to find myself lying in a moderately soft hospital bed. Wires hung from my arm like a power plant. I looked around and saw Fujitaka asleep in an armchair by the window. I figured that once he saw me knocked out on the muddy yard, that he had quickly brought me here. My body was cleaned of the mud and my cuts had been disinfected and wiped away of any blood. I was happy that the grime was off of me after such a long time. I stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment and began to chuckle lightly. I had rhymed in my thoughts. Then I stopped laughing and my eyes became teary. My Sakura loved to rhyme. Remembering this brought me sadness, I looked to my side hoping that she would be there, but she wasn't. I thought back to a conversation that we had about the future of our relationship. This only saddened me more as I thought back fully.
~Flashback~
"Sakura? I have a question that I have been itching to ask you. It's a little weird but bear with me."
"Yes Syaoran?" replied Sakura.
I took in a deep breath and stared into her emerald eyes.
"Sakura, do you think that we will be like this, always?" I stared into her emerald pools deeper and found hesitation within them. Sakura looked down with her eyes slowly and then looked back up at me and blinked. The answer I got was morally depressing to me.
"Syaoran, as much as this may seem perfect to you and to I, we will probably not be together always. We may be together in the future as just friends or maybe we will still be together as boy friend and girl friend." Said Sakura, still smiling at me.
Her words more than saddened me, they pierced my soul like deathly daggers. I was sitting and staring at her with no focus what so ever, then her mouth moved again.
"But...probably, we wont be together, because we are still so young and I want to meet more people. And in your heart you know you wanna meet more people too. Syaoran? Syaoran, are you okay?"
My eyes slightly reddened and I felt a tear roll down my cheek and drip off of my lip. I watched it blurrily as it hit the ground. Then I looked up.
"But...Sakura, I don't wanna meet new people! I don't wanna, I wanna be with you! That isn't what I want! You are my beloved, my eternal, my Sakura. And I will not stand to be separated with you! I will not stand!"
I felt multiple tears running down my face as the words came crashing out of my mouth. This was the first time that I had been made to cry through pure love. I stared into Sakura's eyes as mine swelled with tears. I practically felt doomed; the word probably was a killer to my happiness. I felt a hand touch my cheek and wipe away a few tears. It was Sakura; she was face to face to me. I nestled my face on her shoulder and poured my tears out.
"Don't worry Syaoran, I'm here for you now, in the present, the only time that matters." With that she kissed on the cheek and hugged me.
"I love you Sakura!"
"I love you too."
~End Flashback~
But now she was truly gone, gone to place that I couldn't just walk up and say hi. I have to save her!
"No! I must and I will!"
I heard the door open and my thoughts were completely distracted when the door lightly slammed. I turned and saw Kero flying towards me.
"Hey kid, I saw what happened through Clow Reed's viewing globe. I was upset that I couldn't do anything." Stated Kero in a mournful voice.
"Sorry that you couldn't do anything? How do you think I felt, lying there helplessly as she was taken away! I couldn't stand the feeling, and I still can't!"
Kero stared at me sadly. And sat down at the end of the bed.
"I saw you fight him and I noticed one thing that you could have done to beat him."
"What is that!? Cause if it was obvious and easy to do, I don't know how I'm gonna live with myself!"
"Don't worry your head off Li, is all you needed was the Shot card, the Jump Card and a whole lotta luck. Then you would have been able to save Sakura."
I stared at him puzzled for a second.
"Explain please!"
"Well, you use the Shot and ricochet it off of the ground and at the Jade Charm. It would then hit Cirrus' hand and cause the charm to fly into the air. You would have to summon the Jump right after you summoned the Shot, cause there wouldn't be much time between the Shot hitting his hand and you having to grab the Jade Charm."
Now I was really puzzled, but I thought it out for a moment and soon realized that it would have taken the impossible to truly save her.
"So there wasn't any true way to save her?"
"Nope, you were set up from the beginning by that fiend, Li."
"Grrr! But how?!"
"Clow Reed doesn't know, neither do I, and amazingly Sakura's protector Yue, wasn't aware of your situation."
I just stared at him and rested my head back against my pillow again and looked over at Sakura's dad.
"I'm to injured to go help her now."
"So your willing to risk it for Sakura?"
"Risk it?"
"Yeah, your very life."
I stared at my IV's and looked back at Kero.
"How? Cause I will die to save Sakura! I will give my all to save her, to see her! I have to!"
"Your more than motivated! Clow Reed told me to tell you to hang tight but..."
"What I can't just sit here while my Sakura is..."
"BUT! As I was saying! I am gonna get you out there and have you saving Sakura in no time! Oh yeah!"
"How?"
"You kidding, that's easy!"
Kero flew up to my head and place his palm on my forehead. I felt an aura surround me and my body felt at one again. I opened my eyes and Kero was flying pretty weak towards the foot of the bed.
"I don't have anything to give you, but you must go to Hong Kong, that is where...your...Sa...kura...waits."
He passed out, exhausted from the rejuvenation he just gave me.
"Don't worry Kero, I'll save Sakura, even if it means my death! You are my beloved, my eternal, my Sakura."
Okay, on to you other people who have read my chapter, I don't own any of this but a few of the characters and cards that I made up earlier plus the story itself. Please everyone, be nice and review, I enjoy feedback. Until the next chapter, see ya!
