"Thank you
for understanding. And we are sorry for all the trouble we caused you." The
two glowing
sources said to her.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
'Sakura!' said Syaoran trying his best to keep himself
on his feet.
"Huh?"
she said looking back and seeing him struggle. She ran back to help him as he
fell to his knees. "Are you all right?" she asked looking down at him and
putting her hand on his shoulder. He lifted up his own hand and put it over
hers.
"Sakura…"
he began
"Yes?"
she smiled at him
"I… I… I
want to tell you, that I love you!"
Sakura
pulled away in shock.
-----------------
"I know
it doesn't mean anything to you now, but… I love you Syaoran! You are the person I love most!" Sakura said
to Syaoran, tears in her eyes, she turned away and cried. There was a moment of
silence and then…
"I love
you too Sakura." He said to her
Sakura
looked up in shock to where Syaoran was, he gave her his warm reassuring smile.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Sakura
turned and stared emotionless at them waking up from her most precious
memories. The two sources turned to look at each other and then back at where
Sakura was still sitting. But they didn't leave, something strange was
happening. It was like they were waiting for something.
The tiniest
ray of hope shone on her heart. She didn't know how. But what if things didn't
have to be this way. What if… she could bring Syaoran back? But even if she
could. How would she do it?
'Aristoleles
was a great philosopher and a scientist, he used to say that life was made by
four elements: fire, water, wind and earth.'
"WAIT!" she
screamed at the vanishing objects. "I can save him can't I? You said to me you
need three sources. But do… do they have to be taken from one person. Or can
they be from three different people?" she said to them eagerly waiting for an
answer
"You can
create one life with two magical powers. Yours, we can take yes, but what other
one?" they said to her guessing her plan.
"I'll give
my power." said Eriol to them
Sakura
turned and smiled warmly at him. Then back at the couple. Waiting.
"Please
just let me try…" she said as she fell to the floor.
She stay
there several seconds. Waiting for them to respond. When finally she heard them
say:
"Begin."
She looked
up and smiled. Then she went to Eriol to explain what they were going to do.
"It will
work." he said to her. He held out his hand to her. She looked at it not
knowing what he wanted. In his palm, was a small silver ring. She took it and
carefully examined it again. She smiled and put it on her forth finger. Then
turned around more determined that ever. She nodded at Eriol and took out four
cards. But hesitated.
"After
this…" she said staring at the cards "I won't have any magical powers. Witch
means, that I won't be able to use the cards anymore. And I won't be able to
invoke Kero or Yue… will they disappear?" she asked Eriol
"No they
won't" answered Eriol.
"But, I'll
never see them again right?" asked Sakura again
Eriol
turned too look away from her, not having the right words to make her feel
better.
"Sakura we
are your guardians. We are here to serve and protect you. We live off your
powers. But we won't disappear. We will simply be sealed away. Until someone
else comes and frees us. Although we hope he or she won't be as clumsy as you
and spill the cards." said Cerberos.
"So do
whatever you have to do. We will help." said Yue
She looked
back in surprise. The two gardians stood smiling. Sakura smiled back and went
over to hug them both and to apologise.
"How did
you two get here?" she asked them
"We felt
their presence we've been here since the beginning. But we couldn't…" Kero shut
up very suddenly as he noticed Yue looking at him
"Thank you
for everything Sakura." said Kero as he and Yue vanished into her wand.
She sighed
and lifted up the four cards in her hands. She stopped. Something about this
last scene had seemed strange. Something didn't make sense or was out of place.
But she shook it off and looked at the four cards in her hands.
"Sakura
cards. I am in need of your powers. So please help me once more. I need your
powers to blend and form a new power. I ask much of you but we will assist you.
Fire!
Water! Wind! Earth!"
The four
cards emerged and formed a circle shoulder to shoulder. Meanwhile both Sakura
and Eriol were passing their energy to the cards. An incredible flash was made
as the cards were united. And what seemed like a small child was formed. While this was happening Sakura was
picturing Syaoran. She formed a mental picture of him in her mind. And somehow
let the cards receive it.
The small
child then seemed to acquire a definite shape. A form. The figure then started
to grow. She saw the figure. It was Syaoran. A baby! Then a small child. Which
grew to a kid then to a teen. Finally it took the form of Syaoran as he was
now.
'Did it
work?' Sakura wondered. But she was not conscious long enough to find out.
Both Eriol
and Sakura fell to the ground. Tomoyo ran towards Eriol. But Sakura worried her
too.
"They are
all fine." said the disappearing couple.
She sighed
and begun to caress Eriol's forehead, toying his hair.
Slowly his
eyes began to open.
"What
happened?" he asked weakly. "Did it work?"
"Yes." She
said sweetly to him. "You are so brave!"
He just
smiled a weary smile and looked around. He noticed that Sakura and Syaoran were
still on the floor.
"They told me everyone was ok, but Sakura and
Syaoran haven't woken up yet. Look." She said pointing
Eriol stood
up and studied himself. Something wasn't right. He examined his hands and
figured it out. He still had his magic.
He went
over to Syaoran as Tomoyo did to Sakura. He was fine. He was there witch meant
he was alive. But he noticed something wrong with Syaoran as well. He could
feel a great magic surrounding his body. He looked towards Sakura and felt the
same thing.
