"Dare?!" Sakura asked a figure cloaked in the darkness. "You know who it is. I'm the rightful Clow Mistress!" The figure stepped up. "Mioki!" Sakura growled. "Yes."
"You are going to pay for what you did to Syaoran!" She yelled at Mioki. "Me?" Mioki put on an innocent face. Then she grinned evilly. "I did not do anything to your precious Syaoran. You're 'trusty' cards did that!" Then she laughed.
"You won't be laughing anymore, once you figure out who the cards will obey."
Mioki glared at her then laughed again. "HAHAHA! Of course I won't be laughing!" She said.
"Nani?" Sakura asked, confused.
"I won't have time to laugh! I'll be busy taking over the world!" Mioki continued.
"I'll never let you do that!" Sakura took out her wand and a card. "Release! Sword!" She then gripped the sword with two hands and ran towards Mioki. They started to fight. They were both equally match.
'Kuso! I won't let her win! I am the rightful Clow Mistress!' Mioki thought. Then she grinned. "~hehe~" Sakura stopped and looked at her for a second, startled. In that second, Mioki took out a card and commanded it release. It was the Firey Card! It started to shoot fireballs at Sakura.
At first, she was able to dodge them all, but then Mioki took out another card. It was the Wood Card. It held Sakura as the fireblast came towards her. She shut her eyes. 'Mioki might be strong, but I am more powerful. She is evil. And Good will always win against evil.' "You will never win!" She yelled out.
Suddenly a beam of light came out of Sakura's body. It engulfed everything. Sakura heard Syaoran's voice, "Sakura! Sakura, wake up! Please!" She shook her head and opened her eyes and saw Syaoran's caring brown eyes, inches before hers. "N-nani?" She asked, sitting up from the sofa.
"You're alright!" He cried, hugging her. "Wha-what happened?" She asked in a shaky voice. "I don't know, but you were screaming in your sleep. You were saying something about the you being the rightful Clow Mistress."
Suddenly it all came back to Sakura. She sank back down in the sofa, breathing hard. "Sakura? Daijoubu desu ka?"
"I'm...I'm fine." 'I think. But it's better that he didn't worry.' Syaoran saw the look on her face. 'She's anything but ok.' He realized. "Sakura, Sakura. Look at me." She did as he asked. "If something's happened, you can tell me, you know that. Right?" She looked into his eyes. 'They're so caring. So loving. Of course I can tell him anything. Anything and everything.'
She took a deep breath. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. "Sakura?" Syaoran asked her expectantly, but softly. She burst out into tears. "I-I..." Syaoran took her into his arms. "Shh...its okay now. Everything's fine." She started crying even harder, but then she pushed away softly. "Its...Mioki. She was in my dream... and... she threatened to kill me and you and then take over the world." Syaoran couldn't find anything to say.
He was speechless for a moment, then he said, "I'm not gonna let her do that. She'll never take over the world. And I won't let her kill you. Sakura," He looked at her, "she will never be Clow Mistress. We will fight her, together." Sakura sniffed, then brushed away the tears and nodded. "Come on, its time for breakfast."
"Okay," Sakura answered, but as she was trying to get off the sofa, Syaoran noticed all the burns that ran down Sakura's legs, just like the day before. His anger at Mioki flared. 'You hurt the one I love, I will get you for that! That's a promise!'
"Itai..." Sakura said. 'She can't even walk.' Syaoran sweept her in his arms and carried her to the kitchen, where Tomoyo's mom was making breakfast. "Konnichi wa. You must be Syaoran. I'm Tomoyo's mom. I heard about last night. Daijoubu desu ka?"
"Doozo Yoroshiku. Aa Daijoubu." Then Sonomi (Tomoyo's mom) noticed Sakura in his arms. "Ahh...I see." She smiled at them both. Sakura and Syaoran both blushed. "Sit! Breakfast is almost ready." She smiled again. Then Tomoyo walked in. She saw Sakura in Syaoran's arms. She smiled. Sakura and Syaoran turned even more red. (If thats possible.)
"Ohayo Sakura, Syaoran." She smiled again. They looked at the ground. "O-ohayo, Tomoyo.." They replied together. "Syaoran? Are you okay now?" She asked him. "Ya..ya..I'm fine. I'm more worried about Sakura though." Tomoyo looked confused. She looked at Sakura. 'She does seem kinda sad.' "Sakura?" She snapped out of her trance. "Nani? Oh, I'm fine." Sakura replied. But deep inside, Tomoyo knew she wasn't fine. "Okay," she replied uncertainly.
"Later." Syaoran mouthed. Tomoyo nodded.
Sonomi knew that something was up, or Sakura wouldn't be in Syaoran's arms. "Eat up! I have to get to work." She said cheerfully. They nodded.
"Bye, Okaasan." Tomoyo said, smiling. "Bye!" Then Sonomi ran out the door.
"Syaoran, aren't your arms getting tired?" Tomoyo asked him. "Well....no..." He looked at Sakura who was staring at her hands, uncertain. 'She must really be upset.' Tomoyo thought. "You guys, eat. I'll be right back." Syaoran nodded, but Sakura just stared at her hands.
He sat down when Tomoyo left the room and tried to get Sakura to eat something, but she wouldn't. "Sakura, you need your energy if you want to beat Mioki." She looked up at him. He stared into her eyes and saw that they were bleak. They weren't the beautiful emerald eyes that Syaoran loved looking into. They were gray.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" He didn't know what was wrong. She's never been like this. Never! She shrugged and looked down. "Sakura, don't do this to me. I care for you too much." Tears started to run from his eyes. "I can't live without you. Don't do this. Don't do this to me..." Syaoran started to cry.
Sakura was shocked to see him like this. Syaoran had never cried before. She hugged him close to her. "Syaoran. Please...don't cry. I care for you too... Don't cry, because of me..." He pulled her closer. "Please...don't." She wiped away his tears.
Suddenly, he lifted her up. "Come on, eat up." She looked into his eyes, nodded then smiled slightly. Finally. The emerald colour came back into her eyes. They began to eat. Both found out that they were starving.
Behind the door, Tomoyo was taping everything. 'They're finally together.' She smiled happily.
Then the phone rang. Sakura got up from Syaoran's lap and tried to walk towards it. But before she could get it, she fell onto the ground. "I got it." Syaoran said as he reached for the phone. "Moshi moshi?" He spoke into it. "Nani? We're on our way." He hung up the phone and spoke to Tomoyo and Sakura. "That was Kero. Something's happened. Fires are starting all over town."
