Cardcaptor Syaoran
The Dark Clow Saga

Chapter 11: Leavin' on a Jet plane
I stared in the endless black sky full of bright white blemishes. The stars were shining brightly as I sat there. The next plane bound for Hong Kong was to arrive in 6 hours. So I just slumped into a seat by the giant, gleaming windows and stared into the sky. I was distracted by nothing; no sound woke me from my trance. This was the most difficult of my trials; I would die if I didn't complete this task. I had to save Sakura for many reasons, but my death seemed miniscule as a provider of urge, it was my love for Sakura that drove me to complete the trail. I watched planes move to hangers, and I watched the sky turn from deep blue to a cherry blossom pink. Sunlight had begun to burst from the tattered clouds of the mild midnight storm. I felt calm sweep over my body and I closed my eyes tight and shook it off, or so I thought.
~Spirit World ~
I opened my eyes and found myself in a room shimmering with glittering turquoise crystals. The room had a small floor, it was round and the center had a small fountain that made about an inch of water as I walked over the level floor. My eyes danced around the room, taking in each and every beautiful...the color wasn't turquoise and they weren't crystals. They were emeralds, just as green and lush as my Sakura's eyes. Water was dripping from the emeralds, like they were crying. Could it be that they were linking to my Sakura, and I was in her thoughts?
"Yes you are." erupted a mysterious voice.
I jumped back and spun around to see that mysterious girl. She was balancing on the stream of water that was shooting from the center so the pond.
Her hairstreak finally visible, it was pink. It clashed with her auburn hair and I thought back to my Sakura, with her beautiful hair. She seemed to take so much pride combing each delicate strand, my Sakura.
"What?" I responded.
"You are in her thoughts."
My eyes grew large with her words. I was really in Sakura's thoughts! I could finally comfort her!
"Then do it." She complied.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
She disappeared and I felt a strong aura behind me. She was standing behind me with her back against mine. I stared forward at the fountain where she used to be.
"Your heart always thinks before your brain Syaoran. You know that."
"My heart? What are you talking about?"
"I'm there."
I looked in front of me and she had her finger on my chest, pointing to my throbbing heart.
"Your in...my heart?"
"I am your hearts essence. The very confusing and maze like feelings that it contains has created me. I am Asaka."
"Asaka?"
"Asaka." She responded.
"My heart created you, from its love and confusion. How?"
"Your heart is now a spirit trapped by the ominous Duel Scythe, grim spirit of the Death Sentence. It remains in the spirit realm, held onto by three forces that are on your side."
"What forces?"
"The first is Sakura's mother, whom is dead, Nadeshiko. The second is Sakura's brother, Toya. And the last is Kerberos, Guardian of the Seal. They all are holding onto your heart. As the first day passes, one will lose strength to hold on, until they are all gone, then your mind and body come with your heart."
"Toya?"
"Yes, quite shocking. Nadeshiko was able to explain to him of your true feelings for Sakura. He didn't like it one bit, but his power is being used to maintain you the first day."
"I got to thank him if I live."
"You will live. But you will soon discover that there is a trivial matter at the core of the problem."
"Trivial?"
"You will know when it happens."
"But..." was all that came out as I watched pink confetti stars gently falling around me. I stopped my search for Asaka once a water droplet landed on my head. Sakura.
"Sakura!"
~Lair of Baron Shleff~
I opened my eyes after hearing Syaoran shout my name. But I wasn't safely by his side like I figured I would be. I was stuck in that horrible dream; I had to be! I reached for a wall and closed my eyes; they shot back open in disbelief. This wasn't a dream!
"Syaoran!"
I heard a faint whisper; it seemed so distant. It had to be him!
"Close your eyes!" was what I thought it said. So I did, I closed my eyes and saw Syaoran standing in a room of emeralds.
"Everything will be fine my angel. I have it under control! I will be there soon, my Sakura." And it trailed off.
How was Syaoran talking to me? I didn't understand. I heard a fairly audible yell erupted from the echoic halls of my captures quarters. Someone wasn't at all happy.
* * *
"You what?"
"I...used the Death Sentence Card on Syaoran Li cau..."
"Shut your mouth you cur!" boomed the voice.
"Yes m'lord."
"Do you remember who you really are?"
"O...only name, m'lord."
"Incorrect, you remember more!"
"Yes m'lord, I remember most everything."
"Then note that your status can truly have no such feelings of pleasure for Sakura Kinomoto! It is impossible to comprehend, after all you fell into the cards dark intent after the promise that Sakura would me slain by your hands. That will take place after the Ceremony of Love or dare I say, The Final Judgment!"
"Final Judgment!" replied Cirrus.
"Yes, Final Judgment does sound more evil. But on the fliers I would like to say Ceremony of Love. Make the confounded citizens of Hong Kong cower as the child from Tomoeda, Japan is strung by the side of her lover in the conclusion, the truth about the world will be realized by these Earthlings! They will know!"
"Yes m'lord!"
"What do you know! Get out of my site! And make it so that Syaoran gets here at full love, and wash away any foolish sentiments you may think you have for the girl!"
"Yes m'lord."
"You are dismissed!"
Wash it away, how can I? Wait! Syaoran! We can be together if only she were dead, but would you love me back after what I have become. My hatred for Sakura had turned me into this wretched beast. I pray now that the world can be saved. What am I saying? My mind must be clouded. Cirrus stumbles off in a blur of abnormal thoughts.
~ Airport Tomoeda, Japan ~
I cracked my eyes open slowly. I looked outside and saw the sun fully now. I heard the busy traffic of people charging towards their planes and an automated voice.
"Buzz! Last call for flight 472 bound for Hong Kong! I repeat, last call for flight 472 bound for Hong Kong at gate 28!"
"Great! I better get moving!"
I dashed on towards my flight as fast as possible; I was going to make it this time! I studied the numbers as I ran by and eventually found gate 28. The lady was walking towards the bridge way door and I sped up and just barely made it!
"Thank you and have a nice flight." Responded the always so cheerful airport staff member.
I boarded the plane and placed my gear into the overhead compartment and sat down at my window seat. I looked out and noticed they were still loading the plane.
"We are sorry for the inconvenience. A crewmember of the luggage team passed out. We will be leaving shortly, thank you as always."
I stared out the window and saw two guys carrying a man. They stopped and turned him towards me. It was Toya! I saw his mouth move, but of course heard no words.
* * *
The plane was noisy as the engine began to fire up, but I just stood there, being held up lightly from my weakened state. I stared into Li's eyes and a smiled as the plane began to take off. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry!" I shouted again. Then I mumbled to myself. "But its looks like mom and Kero are all that's left, gaki."
"Come on Toya, we got to get you to the infirmary!"
'Yeah I know, just can it and take me!"
* * *
I hadn't understood Toya, but I felt somewhat weaker hearted. Had he already slipped? I looked at my watch and it was only 9:45 a.m.! Perhaps Toya didn't fully believe in me, why should he have anyway? I looked out the window and slowly watched the ground become further and further away. The wings of the plane gently cut through the clouds as we flew effortlessly through the sky. I looked into the risen sun and stared for a moment.
"I'm coming Sakura! I'm coming!"
So what did you guys think, nobody really is reading and if they are, their breaking Syaoran rule one: ALWAYS review! You should slap your hands hard if you haven't been reviewing; go ahead, I wont look if it'll save face. But seriously, I need some reviews to tell me how I need to go with the story. But burns are welcome and here is the disclaimer.
