Syaoran's Wish
Chapter 3
Ryo's Attack
Hey! Thank you for all your reviews. It really helps to know what you guys (girls) want. Anyway, I don't like writing long notes. I like writing long stories. So, here goes Chapter 3!
*drum roll*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter 3
Ryo's Attack
Sakura tossed and turned throughout the night. Several times she woke up screaming, and everyone would come running. After the first few times, Syaoran told everyone to go back to bed, not worry; he would take care of her. Kero gave him a disapproving glance, but said nothing. Especially when Tomoyo said she'd give him a cookie!
The next time Sakura woke up, Syaoran held her, and gently stroked her hair, rocking her in his arms. When she fell asleep, he laid fell asleep holding her. (A/N: aww...KAWAII!!! Tomoyo! Take a picture! *snap* ^.^)
"I wish I could tell you.. My Cherry Blossom." He mumbled before going into a deep slumber. Sakura smiled in her sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, Tomoyo opened the door to Sakura's room to see her sleeping in Syaoran's arms. She smiled and quietly closed the door again.
"Well, how is she?" Kero asked, popping out of nowhere.
Tomoyo jumped up, surprised.
"Oh, it's you. Kero! You surprised me!"
"How is she?" He asked again.
"She's sleeping and so is Li-kun."
Kero frowned and mumbled to himself. "Why'd he have to stay in there?"
The two went downstairs, to where Yutiko was cooking up a storm. They watched in amazement as he set out eggs, bacon, tea, toast, jam, muffins, rice, and several other breakfast dishes, all of which were in large quanites.
Sakura and Syaoran appeared a few minutes later.
"Good morning everyone!" Sakura said, smiling like usual.
"Morning." Syaoran mumbled.
"Good morning Sakura, Syaoran." Yutiko and Tomoyo replied. Kero nodded, too busy eating.
As they sat down, Tomoyo suggested they all go for a walk in the park later on. It was beautiful out, and the weather reporter said it wouldn't rain. Sakura agreed. Syaoran was assigned to go to look after Sakura and make sure nothing happened to either of the girls. He rolled his eyes at Kero, but accepted.
"Don't roll your eyes at me you little punk!"
"Don't tell me what to do stuffed animal!"
The glaring contest began.
"Hoe?" Sakura said, sweat-dropping.
Tomoyo just shook her head and Yutiko grinned.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
**The park**
Later, as planned, the trio headed out to the park. Sakura looked like normal again, smiling and eyes bright. It seemed as if nothing happened. But they all knew it wasn't a dream. Syaoran smiled at Sakura's antics.
As they stayed, the sky above them grew darker. All of them could tell when Ryo arrived. It wasn't that hard to see that she had. Her dark green dress and auburn hair spun about. She looked at each of them, mostly at Syaoran, making Sakura mad.
"Hey." Ryo said slowly.
Syaoran got ready to fight, drawing out his sword, and Sakura called forth her wand.
"Key of the Star
With Powers burning bright
Reveal thy staff
And shine your light!
Release!"
Tomoyo, of course, got out her trusty camera.
"Ryo!"
Ryo shifted her gaze from the boy to Sakura.
"Sakura.... Are you sure you won't come with me?"
Her eyes glowed, hypnotizing the unaware Sakura.
"Will you come with me now?" Ryo asked.
"I... Will... Come.." Sakura said, walking forward slowly, not able to control where she went.
"No, Sakura!" Tomoyo cried. Syaoran ran toward Ryo.
Ryo used her free hand to launch an attack at Syaoran, blasting him back a few feet.
"Li-kun!" Tomoyo yelled, dropping the camera and running to help him.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea, I'll be fine. We've got to get Sakura away from Ryo!" Syaoran said, wincing.
"But how?"
"No time to think. Sakura's almost to Ryo. And once she's there, there's no telling what will happen."
Syaoran stood up and ran to Ryo, ignoring the pain in his side, and dodged another attack. He half-jumped and kicked. The kick hit its mark. The trance was broken.
"You son of a..." Ryo hissed and disappeared.
Sakura fell to the ground, dazed.
"Uh.. What just happened?" She asked, holding her head.
"Sakura are you ok?"
"Are you all right Sakura?"
"Yea, I'm fine, but where's Ryo?"
"She left after Li-kun hit her"
"She'll be back, I know it." Syaoran said, watching Sakura, while holding his side.
Sakura noticed reddish-black stain on his clothes.
"Oh god, Syaoran, you're hurt!"
He looked away.
"I'm not hurt badly, so don't worry about it, ok?"
Sakura stared at him.
"No Syaoran. You listen to me. You got hurt helping me and now I'm gonna help you." She stated, drawing out the 'Heal' card and calling it forth.
She walked up to him and placed her hand over his side wound. Her aura glowed brightly as her energy flowed into Syaoran.
"Sakura, don't. Let it be! Don't use your energy!" Syaoran kept telling her to stop, that she was wasting her energy and she didn't have enough now anyway. But Sakura would not heed to his warnings. She did not stop until she was certain he was healed. By that time, she was fully drained and held her head.
"Oh man... Will the world stop spinning so fast?"
Syaoran caught her as she fell forward. (A/N why does she always fall forward and right into his arms??) Kerberos and Yue appeared moments later, both having great worries in their minds.
"What happened here?" Kerberos asked.
"Take a guess." Syaoran said, not in the mood to joke around.
"Ryo." Yue answered in his icy fashion.
"Yea, let Syaoran tell you the story when we get back." Tomoyo piped in.
"Here, lay her on my back." Kerberos offered, spreading his wings out.
Slowly, the group made their way back to the Kinomoto house, careful not to get caught by passer bys. Of the few people, most of them gave strange looks to the group. One even commented that is wasn't Halloween and wouldn't be for a few more months.
Once they reached the turning point, Syaoran said he would be back shortly, he was going home to get some items. When he returned, he smirked at Sakura being questioned by an angry Kero.
"Anything else happen Sakura?"
"No, Syaoran and Tomoyo saved me."
"Ryo just disappeared."
Kero looked at Yue, who was standing nearby, silently, like always.
"Any ideas?"
Yue shifted his gaze to the flying stuffed animal.
"Kerberos, do you remember that young lady who would always bother Master Reed?"
"Huh? You mean that little pip-squeak?"
"Yes. As you think back, was her name not Ryo?"
"Hmm.... Yea, I think you're right there Yue. But what would she want?"
"She wasn't too happy to find she had married a clone of me....." Yue said, drifting off.
"Yes...now that you mention it, didn't Ryo steal two cards? What were those two?"
"The Death and The Clone"
"Oh yea!"
"What are you two talking about?" Sakura interrupted, confused.
"We think we know who this Ryo is, but we do not know her goal." Yue said.
"Oh.." Sakura said, turning around and walking upstairs, "I'll be in my room."
Tomoyo and Syaoran sat in the living room, to talk.
"Li-kun, how are you going to tell her?"
Syaoran blushed.
"I don't know yet.. But I know I have to protect her from Ryo."
"Yea.. Ryo is dangerous. I mean, she barely glanced at Sakura and she was in a trance!"
"I agree. What could possibly stop her?"
"I don't know."
"Neither do I."
