"You cannot defeat me. Many have failed, you, my boy, have failed already." The dark figure seemly said. Though it echoed thoughout the room, as if it could've came from the figure, but didnt.
"I cannot fail now...I shall not let you win." The boy reiniterated.
"That is where you are wrong boy. You may not know it, but I have killed you many times already. I know all your attacks. I know every last drop of life around you and in you. Do you honestly think that you will win if you do not even know my weakness?" The figure harshly stated. The boy didnt say anything, all he did was go into a fighting stance, his sword stained. "Then perish!"
The boy fell, a arrow within him. Just before his eyes closed eternally, he grabbed and held the hand of his beloved girl. He then ever so slowly died.
The white shadow of the girl cried...she didnt want to see him die...and two white arms hugged her, and the white shadow of the boy appeared behind her, hugging her.

Facets
Trying to Cope
By AnimeGamer
---------------------
"It has been only yesterday from this tragic event, and the world community is now behind the United States. Clothes, food, and whatever is needed is already in New York from not just within the U.S. but from other countries as well, including Britain, France, and Japan."
"When will they stop talking about it?" Sakura stated, as she started to sniffle. The first indications she is going to cry again.
"I dont know..." Syaoran replied, putting his arms around her, conforting her.
Sakura brought his face to hers, her eyes now filled with hope. "I hope one day whoever did this will be caught, and then maybe that nightmare will go away."
Syaoran then kinda looked away in horror.
"Syaoran? What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing...it's just...I thought I smell something burning..." Syaoran stated.
Sure enough, the stove was smoking. "HOEEEEEEEEE....." Sakura yelled out with a leap, and stopped the stop as fast as a comet. She pulled out the food she was cooking, which was badly burned."Hoeeeee...I'll never be as good of a cook as my dad..." Sakura sighed, and she placed the burned food on the table.
"Dont worry, you will one day." Syaoran assured her, putting his arms around her again.
"Oh man, the gaki is here again." A familer voice suddenly said, breaking whatever romantic mood that was building.
Syaoran stared at the "stuffed animal" while it stared back. "Kero...what's wrong?" Sakura asked, ignoring the staring contest.
"Something is wrong...OH MY GOD..." Kero drooped over the burned food.
"Is that all you came down here to say?" Syaoran asked.
"No you gaki. I also was going to say that the magicial forces are shifting." Kero stated.
"How so Kero?" Sakura asked.
"It's starting to weaken." Kero said with no bit of importance in it.
"What? It's weakening? That's bad!" Syaoran stated.
"What does that mean Syao-chan?" Sakura asked.
"It means that the magicial seal made by the ancient ones, one of them namely Clow Reed himself, is weakening. Once it's weakened enough, they say something named the Dark Dragoon will be unleashed thoughout the world." Syaoran stated.
"Actually...the worlds." Kero stated absent-mindedly, still poking the burned food and saddened by it's terrible burnt state. Syaoran quickly gripped his hand around Kero and brought him to near his face.
"Spit it stuff animal! What do you know that we dont?" Syaoran angrily asked.
"Stop squeezing me and I'll tell you!" Kero managed to yelp out, and Syaoran simply dropped him. Kero landed on the floor, and slowly got back up, cursing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Apparently, not only will the Dark Dragoon will be unleashed, it will merge all the dimensions." Kero stated with seriousness.
"As in?" Sakura asked puzzled.
"Okay...think of it this way...in every dimension, there is supposed to be one Sakura-Chan and one Syaoran-Kun. Of course, they are differentated by the actions before them, and by them, and those around them. If they start to merge though, the world as we know it will no longer exist unless we stop this evil."
"I wonder if this has to do with anything about our dream..." Sakura asked herself softly. Naturally, Kero picked up on this.
"You had a dream Sakura?" Kero asked.
"Yes..." Sakura replied, her feelings from the dream returning. The pain, the suffering, the confusion, the fear, and most of all, the terror, came quickly back on her. She started to sniffle, and quickly burst into tears. Syaoran instinctively quickly put his arms around her to confort her.
"Kero...dont ask Sakura again...she's still suffering the mental effects of the dream...to be honest...i'am too..." Syaoran said.
"*sniffle* really? *sniffle*" Sakura looked at Syaoran, whom looked back.
"Yeah..." Syaoran replied. "I think you still have to cook dinner for everyone..."
"Oh...yeah...I forgot...arigato...I'll be right back..." Sakura said, wiping her tears away and heading into the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Syao-chan..."
"What is it Sake-chan?
"What are we going to do?"
Syaoran tightened his hug with Sakura, as they laid on a grass hill overlooking the city.
"We are going to stop it from happening..." Syaoran simply answered.
"How? We dont even know where this seal is..." Sakura replied.
"Well...the stuffed animal said that it's somewhere in Tokyo. So we might start there."
"Okay...anyway, were you scared? In the dream?"
"Not really...but it was at the end of the dream."
"The end of the dream?"
"Yeah...it's almost curfew, even though we are 17, it wouldn't be nice if we are caught out here..."
"*sigh* okay...."
The two got up, and then they just stood in front of each other. The hill made them look at each other eye to eye. They slowly closed their eyes and their lips touched, and then locked on to each other. The taste of chocolate flew though Sakura's sense of taste, the scent of the forest surrounding her and attacking her sense of smell. They broke away and they silently left, holding each other's hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kero...do you think the dream has some message behind it?" Sakura asked, laying on her bed.
"The gaki thinks so. He's more spooked about the dream than you are though." Kero replied.
"He's...more scared than me?" Sakura sat up in surprise.
"Yes...do you remember the end of your dream?" Kero asked...
[Flashback]
She turned around, and she only saw for a split second a white object slam into her building. Flames engulfed the room, and she was thrown clear out of one of the window's buildings and into the other building. A glass spear though her chest. The last thing she saw was a knight. His brown eyes in horror, his tears falling, hitting her glass wound. All she did, was look at him hopefully...hopefully that she would somehow survive.
[End Flashback]
"I remember...why Kero?" Sakura asked dumbfoundedly.
"Think of it this way Sakura, who did you think was the last person you saw before your dream ended?" Kero asked.
"It looked alot like...Syaoran..." Sakura shifted and moved to a crossed legged position on her bed, looking down with more sadness on her face. "Kero...that was Syaoran, wasnt it? It was him seeing me die..."
"...Yes. He's still fighting that image of you...dead." Kero stated.
"...My god Kero...I feel so horrible now..." Sakura stated, crossing her arms around herself. "For me...to die like that is the worst way to die...if you were some person who was just going though a normal day and you died instantly, at least no one saw you die...for Syaoran to see me die...it's...it's..." Sakura started to cry.
"Sakura, calm down..." Kero said as he tried to keep her from breaking down any further.
"Kero! How can I be calm...? I'll never be the same Kero...never..." Sakura started to repeat.
"Yes you will Sakura. You will overcome this Sakura, you will be the person everyone knows and loves."
"Oh Kero...it's too unbearable..." Sakura replied, laying down on her bed again face down. Immediately she started to cry on her pillow. Kero just floated down to her and patted her back, unsure what to do. All he did was look out the window, and then a face of shame showed...

Hmm...not much to say here...just review! One more thing, this is the Sakura Version which means that if you want to see Syaoran's POV, go to www.MediaMiner.org and find the story at the CCS fanfic section. Also, please review, just so I know people are reading. I mean, I write and post because I want to, but I just want to know...because to me, there really is no point to post if no one is going to read. So please review, thank you.
