Chapter 4

Tomoyo watched from the windpw as the guys scrambled to get the right ingredients needed for the potion. She watched as Sakura and Fura exchanged bolts of electricity and balls of fire. 'Oh please Sakura-chan. Please be okay. ' She pleaded silently.

'Come on.....Come on! Where is it?! The longer it takes me to find it, the weaker Sakura will get! Kuso!' Syaoran swore in his head. He could see her strong pick aura against Fura's black one. She was holding up alright, but he could see that they were both really tired.

"Found it!" He grabbed a jar and took some of the stuff out. Some kind of chinese herb to make chinese medicine. Wei and his mom had made sure that he had plenty when he left for Japan and he had only used some of it for small spells.

"There!" Eriol cried out after he finished the spell. "That's it! Now we have to get Sakura-chan to drink it."

"How do we do that?" Tomoyo asked.

"I know. Someone distract Fura long enough for the other person to get Sakura to drink it. Syaoran explained what everyone should do.

"Hai!" They ran down the stairs of Syaoran's apartment, while Syaoran jumped out the window using his wind ordufa.

Eriol held out his hand and said a few words, making a ball of blue fire appear. He shot them at Fura, acting as a distraction. They weren't very powerful, but they were strong enough to sting.

As Fura transfered her attention to Eriol, Syaoran ran up to Sakura, giving her the potion. "Hurry! Drink this!" He thrust the potion into Sakura's hands. She took one glance at it and chugged the whole thing down. "Eww.."

She said, describing the aftertaste.

But she didn't have time to complain when Fura looked back at her.

"He's no fun." She remarked. Casually, she lifted her arms and shot fireballs towards Sakura and Syaoran.

Sakura saw them coming and looked around quickly. There was no place for Syaoran to hide so she hugged him hard and with lightning speed called out her jump card. They jumped up high, avoiding the fireballs. Then she set him back down on the ground.

Syaoran had enjoyed the jumping, due to the fact that Sakura was hugging him hard around the waist, but he knew that she had no time. He was about to reached for his sword when Sakura said, "Let me handle this. It's not your fight."

"Demo..." He was about to complain but Sakura placed one slender finger to his lips and he quieted down. She kissed him gently and Syaoran's heart leapt. 'Could she?' He asked himself. He heard the next few words that came out of Sakura's mouth. They were the words that he longed to hear. He dreamed about her saying them to him and now his dream came true.

"I love you, Syaoran." She said. "Now and forever."

She turned to Fura who was standing there getting bored. "Let's get on with it!" Fura yelled out.

Sakura smiled. "With pleasure." She said and quicker then any speeding bullet, she threw her fight card out and Fura and her exchanged punches and kicks.

"I think Sakura-chan's winning." Tomoyo said, watching the battle in fascination. She always loved watching Sakura use her cards, and this battle was no exception.

Syaoran turned to look at her. "Aren't you worried?" He asked. He knew that he was. He wanted to run to Sakura's side and make all her pain go away. He wanted to fight in Sakura's place. Especially now that he knew she loved him. Before he was afraid of rejection, but now.....everything was alrgith, because she loved him.

"I am worried." Tomoyo said, bowing her head. It hurt to watch her best friend and half cousin get hurt. But she knew that there was nothing she could do about it. This battle was one of those things that Sakura must fight on her own. She saw Syaoran look down at her camcorder. She shrugged at his questioning look. "It's a one in a lifetime chance." She remarked. "Don't worry. I know that Sakura-chan will be alright."

He just nodded and turned back to the fight. Sakura and Fura were really intent on the fight. Sakura seemed to be winning. Her aura was a slight bit stronger then Fura's aura. 'Come on, Sakura. You can beat her. I know it.' He thought in his mind. He was hoping that she could hear him. The last time they fought Fura, they could hear what the other was saying, even in a very big distance.

Sakura, while fighting Fura, heard exaclty what Syaoran was thinking to her. 'I will win. Don't worry, Syaoran.' She thought and smiled. Maybe there was a chance that Syaoran did like her. She narrowed her eyes at Fura. 'She won't seperate us.' She thought to herself, promising that she would never leave Syaoran.

She looked at Fura closer. She was panting a bit and seemed out of breath. 'Got you now.' She said to noone in particular.

Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol watched the fight from far away. They knew that if Fura caught them and threatened them, Sakura would risk everything, and it would also distract her.

Eriol looked at the pair closely. Fura was getting tired, but Sakura seemed to stay always one step before Fura, making her lose her cool. The only thing was, Fura's fireballs were very accurate. He frowned and he could tell that Syaoran was thinking the same thing. 'They really do love each other.' Eriol thought of all the teasing he would do to Syaoran when this was over.

One particular fireball caught Tomoyo's attention. It was black like all of Fura's other fireballs. But it would flash a rainbow colour every 10 seconds. 'What is that?' She asked herself. Then she watched as Sakura turned to avoid the fireball and it followed her.

Sakura, thinking that it was a normal fireball, didn't give it a second glance and glared at Fura.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo heard Syaoran yell out. Apparently, he had seen the fireball as well. All three of them ran towards the fighting pair as fast as they could.

Sakura turned as she heard her name and.......

zennie: (~hehe~ I just had to do that....I couldn't help it. sorry this one's so short. I'll make it worthwhile though.)
