Chapter 5
The rainbow fireball slammed Sakura into some sort of barrier. 'Fura must have built that to keep us away from the battle.' Syaoran thought as he and the others got close. 'There goes my chance of saving her...' He complained to himself and hit himself repeatedly on the head. He closed his eyes for a while, hoping to anything that Sakura would be alright.
He heard Sakura cry out. It was not a victorious cry, it was a cry of pain. His eyes snapped open and he saw what happened.
Apparantly the barrier was also to form a wall that would sizzle anything that touched it. When Sakura slammed into it, lightning sparked out of it and gave Sakura a shock. It was a big shock and it almost took all her energy not to scream.
'I won't cry out...that will prove I'm not strong....' Sakura gritted her teeth. She was flung back to the ground.
"Sakura! No!" She heard Syaoran yell out in the distance.
"I gotcha then!" Fura grinned like she won a gold olympic medal.
On the ground, Sakura smiled slightly, despite all the pain. This was just the time to show Fura who was the best. She had been saving a tiny bit of her energy throughout the battle, and she called for it now. Kero had taught it to her a while ago. She was only to use it if nothing else could be done. She knew that there was no other way that she would possibly beat Fura without a very special help, so she had made up her own plan to beat Fura.
"Not for long...." Sakura whispered.
Outside of the barrier, Syaoran and Tomoyo wondered why Sakura hadn't gotten up. Eriol smiled, standing under a tree. Kero had told him that he taught Sakura a special technique. It would use up a lot of her energy, but it would be worth it. He knew that she was going to use it.
'Sakura....What are you doing?' Syaoran asked in his mind. He didn't expect an answer and was shocked when he heard Sakura reply, 'You'll see.'
Sakura called up the hidden energy. 'Where did she get energy?' Syaoran wondered to himself.
'Cards...please...I need your help....just this one last time....' Sakura felt a string attach her to her cards. She could feel their energy running through her. She felt herself getting stronger.
'Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, Earth, RELEASE!!' She called to them in her mind. The five cards flew from each side of Fura and surrounded her, creating chains of multicolours to bind Fura.
Sakura got up with a bit of Power's energy and held up a single card in front of her. "Shot..." She whispered. "RELEASE!" She flung the card up in the air and pointed to Fura. 'Go...' She said in her mind. As if reading it, Shot released a tiny bullet like object and pierced Fura's heart.
Sakura heard Tomoyo gasp. She smiled a bit. 'She's not dead....' She thought. She felt the energy leaving her. It was used to drag Fura from Kimi's body. Kimi was safe on the ground, and the Shot card had pierced Fura's heart. Her stone, cold heart.
Fura screamed a high-pitched scream. "NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakura smiled. The evil was finally defeated. She sank to the floor and searched deep in her mind, the haunted house. She saw a flash and felt herself being pulled into another world.
Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol saw a flash heading Sakura's way. They could do nothing but close their eyes as the flash pulled Sakura into another world.
"SAKURA!!!!"
* * * * * * * * * *
'Its this place again.....but it doesn't look as scary this time...' Sakura thought to herself. She was back at the haunted house, except...it didn't look like a haunted house now. The balck fog was gone and the house didn't look as scary. Actually, it didn't look scary at all.
Sakura stepped inside and walked down the same hallway she waslked down the first time. There were no cobwebs, mice, or skulls left. Everything looked as if it was cleaned.
Sakura searched for the laboratory. She had to free the real Kimi Hirakawa from the crystal ball.
After looking through the 7th door, she finally found it. The laboratory was still filled with shelves of big books and many chemicals, but there was light. She walked up to the crystal ball in the corner and lifted it up.
Looking inside she saw the girl and smiled at her. Kimi smiled back as Sakura threw the ball down with all her strength. Kimi's spirit drifted out of the crystal ball and her body appeared beside Sakura. A soft glow descended onto Kimi's body and she was once again back in her body.
"Thank you so much." Kimi said to Sakura. They hugged and Sakura said, "No problem."
"This is my home." Kimi told Sakura. "My father will be back, now that Fura was destroyed."
"I guess I should get going, right?" Sakura asked.
Kimi nodded. "But one thing first. I need to tell you that Syaoran really does love you."
Sakura stared at her. "How-?"
Kimi smiled mischieviously. "I should know. Fura never could get you two apart. I know that you love him as well." Kimi said.
Sakura finally smiled and nodded. "I did..." She whispered. "Good-bye, Kimi Hirakawa."
"Good-bye, Sakura Kinomoto."
They hugged one last time and Sakura felt herself drifting back into the real world.
"Good-bye..."

In the real world, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol were pacing the ground nervously. Tomoyo's eyes were red from crying and Eriol was trying to comfort her.
Syoaran walked back and forth in front of them. 'Where could she be? Where could she have gone? Oh I shouldn't have let her fight....' He mentally hit himself on the head. 'Baka, baka!' He paced some more. 'Oh Sakura.... please be alright... I could never live if you weren't in this world... please... I love you..... don't do this to me. Please come back to me....'
Just then he felt a strong aura coming from the park. "Sakura!" He cried and ran as fast as he can there.
Tomoyo and Eriol looked after him confused, then followed him, knowing that he would lead them to Sakura.
"Please be there....." Tomoyo whispered under her breath.
Eriol heard her and grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, Tomoyo-chan...Sakura-chan will be alright."
Tomoyo smiled at him. He was so sweet. "I hope so..."
In front, Syaoran had already reached the park. He scanned the area. Left and right and....'wait!'
Right besiode the penguin slide was a tiny figure struggling to get up.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran cried again and ran up to her. He caught her just as she was about to fall.
"....Syaoran...." She whispered, her energy leaving her fast.
"Hai...Don't worry, Sakura. I'm here now...." He told her.
Sakura smiled and nodded, then she fainted in his arms.
Tomoyo and Eriol got there just in time to see Syaoran lift Sakura up in his arms.
"Aww....kawaii..." Tomoyo whispered. She was so glad that she brought her camcorder with her. She started to videotape the cute couple. Eriol just smiled. 'Aww.... but now I can't tease them...' He shrugged. 'Oh well.'
Syaoran turned just in time to see the ever-there blinking red light from Tomoyo's camcorder. "Tomoyo, can you call Sakura's family and say that she's going to stay at your place for the night? I'm going to get her to my house." He told her.
Tomoyo nodded. "Of course....but you better tell her soon." She said, smiling.
Syaoran sighed and nodded. "Fine...."
"Great!" Tomoyo exclaimed. 'Boy, is Sakura gonna be surprised!' She knew that both her best friends were falling in love with each other. In fact, everyone knew, but those two were just too dense to notice.
"You better not do anything that I wouldn't do, my cute descendent." Eriol teased.
Syaoran grunted. "That won't be too hard. Considering I don't think there's anything that you wouldn't do with Tomoyo..." He smirked then walked off in the dark, cradling his beloved in his arms.
Tomoyo and Eriol turned red at that remark.
