Chapter 13:
"Sakura! NO!!" Syaoran yelled, causing the rest of the 'people' in the room to jump.
"You can't do this to me Sakura!! If you die I'll follow you into the next world and KILL YOU!!!!"** he gently laid her on the ground and checked to see if she was still breathing...she wasn't.
"What going on?" asked an alarmed Kent.
"Her heart stopped, she's not breathing."Syaoran said simply..........And, the marshmallow men panicked, each in their own ways. Touya fainted, Kent frantically tried to find the phone to call 911 (except that, the ummm, phone, had been, uh, *frozen* by the Freeze ^_^), Kero started to zip about (again) in distress, and Yue reverted back to Yukito from shock. Yukito took one look at the scene, and, uh, fainted, landing in a heap beside his *cough* best friend, Touya.
Fortunately, for everyone, Syaoran managed to push his panic aside and let the logic part of his brain (the part that hadn't been working earlier) take over, mostly. ~Okay~, he thought, ~how to help someone who's heart has stopped? Let's see, CPR?~
~But I don't know how to do CPR!!~ screamed the part of his brain that will now be referred to as 'Panic'.
~I *know* that!~ said Logic, impatiently, ~I'm looking at options!~
~Oh,~ said Panic, ~That's not an option though! I can't do it!~
~Yes that has been established.~
~Hurry up!~, Panic again, ~she's gonna DIE!!~
~Technically, she is already dead.~ Logic pointed out.
~Not Helping!!~ screeched Panic.
~Okay! Okay! Calm down! Uh, well maybe not, you are 'Panic' after all, just don't panic so loudly, I'm trying to save the woman we, I mean *I* love.~
Agreement from Panic.
~Okay, what else can save a person in this condition? Magic maybe? Her current predicament was *caused* by magic.~ they both thought for a moment.
~Well~, said Panic tentatively, ~At the hospital they use electric paddles to re-start hearts.~
~So what we need is magic electricity?~
~Sounds right~, agreed Panic.
~Okay then, let's do it!~
The whole 'conversation' had taken scant seconds and, when Syaoran came back to himself, he knew what to do. He stood up and held out a hand, catching his sword (which he had dropped when trying to hold back Fiery) as it obediently jumped to him.
"Light Come Forth!!" (AN: Whoops! Sorry, wrong Anime, that's from Slayers ^_~)
"Force, Know My Plight!......Release The Light!.......LIGHTNING!!" Syaoran called out, bringing his sword, now crackling with lighting down it's length, gracefully around until it pointed at Sakura. ~Have to be careful~, he thought, ~Frying my Cherry Blossom at this point would *definitely* be counter-productive.~
Syaoran watched the magic lightning trace across the space between them and hit her in the chest, hopefully not causing any more damage. ~Please be okay Sakura.~
Zipping About The Kitchen:
This was the third consecutive time that evening that The Guardian Beast of The (now nonexistent) Seal had 'panicked'. Usually this did not happen to the dignified Sun Guardian, but it had, admittedly, been a difficult night. So this erratic behavior could be dismissed as an anomaly, which Kero would do as soon as he had time. Right now he was busy panicking. At least he seemed to come out of it easily, the first time by bouncing off a wall, the second when Yue caught him, and the third when Syaoran's cry of 'LIGHTNING!' rang through the kitchen.
"Wh..What?" Kero stopped flying at the yell, followed by the bright light dancing on the blade of Syaoran's sword. As he was processing what he saw Kent (who had just returned from his futile search for a phone that had escaped the nights events) enter the kitchen.
"What's he doing now?" Kent asked looking pointedly at Syaoran. Kero thought rapidly, then smiled when he realized what was happening.
"He's using lightning to re-start Sakura's heart. Since it's magic lightning, it should work," Kero nodded in approval, maybe Sakura *would* be okay, and maybe that gaki *was* good for something after all.
When the electricity struck the Card Mistress' inert body, all the people in the room (well the conscious ones anyway) held their breath. Had it worked?

(AN: Just Kidding!!!! I wouldn't do something like that to you, now would I? ^_~)
The girl was jerked back to the land of the living when a sudden shock set all her systems on 'active' again. She sat up coughing and gasping for breath. From somewhere in front of her she heard something clatter to the floor. (AN: There goes Syaoran's sword again. He should really take better care of that thing!)
"Sakura! Your Alive!!" this came from the same direction as the clattering noise, it was soon followed by a pair of warm arms encircling her. She wasn't sure who this guy was, but he had a wonderful hug. ~Very comforting~ she thought. The thought echoed through her mind strangely like *other* voices were repeating it. The girl drew her eyebrows together in confusion, what was going on? Where was she? She put her head down on the huggers naked chest, and sighed. (AN: Remember? Syaoran's shirtless! *giggle*) This guy seemed nice. Maybe he could help her?
"Sakura? Sakura, are you okay?" the voice asked again. A hand was placed under her chin as Mr. Nice Guy slowly turned her face upward. Her eyes met a gaze of gorgeous brown. (AN: Syaoran's eyes *are* brown, right?) The rest of his face was handsome as well, the sight of it stirred strange feelings in her, and suddenly she had to know something.
"Who are you?"
To Be Continued ^_^ (AN: This time for real:)
