On with the story!

Yue threw the ball of energy and missed. Ruby watched the blue light fly past her and drive itself into the ground.

"Was that-humph-!" Yue had hurled his body at her and knocked her to the ground in one last attempt to rid the world of her terror. She kicked him and he landed, hard, on the pavement ten feet away. "You shouldn't have done that Yue. Now I'm angry." She strolled over and placed her foot on his bleeding chest. "Now you will join your Mistress in death!"

"Li?" Sakura asked softly to the rain. She spotted his unconscious form, as well as Keroberrows' and Spinner's. Painfully pulling herself up she peered through the torrent of water. They weren't moving. "Li! Kero!" She ran to them and pulled their heads on her lap burying her face in Keroberrows' tainted fur. Pulling her head up, raindrops mixed with her tears and streamed down her face. "Li."

"Mmm..." Li moaned and slowly opened his eyes. "Sakura..."

"Li! You're alive!" She threw her arms around him and he winced, jerking away.

"Be careful, please."

"Oh, sorry." She stopped and helped him sit up. "Kero's not waking up." Shaking his furry head a little she tried to get him to wake. Li stood up and limped over to Spinner to retrieve his sword. The huge cat was still alive and breathing, but barely.

"We're going to have a lot of work to do to patch these guys up." He murmured, deciding to get his sword later considering that that's what was keeping Spinner from bleeding out.

"Li-" Sakura was interrupted as a loud scream echoed through the air. "The dream!"

"What was that?" Li asked, afraid that he knew the answer.

"Wait here with Keroberrows, I need to go find Yue." She ran towards the direction of the scream.

"Wait! I'll come with you!" Li started forward.

"No! You wait here; I'll be back!" She disappeared into the darkness.

"Please come back Sakura."

"Mis...tress..." Yue gasped and ceased to struggle under the increasing pressure building on his chest. New waves of pain coursed through his body as he heard his breast bone fracture under the weight. "Please...don't hurt...Sakura..." he was losing touch with reality as Ruby pressed down harder, relishing the sound of bones cracking.

"So now you call her Sakura. Well, she can't help you now, she's dead remember?" Blood gushed down his chin as he coughed and choked. Blackness was settling over him and he waited for when it would finally be over.

"Stop it right now Ruby!" Sakura's strong voice brought Yue back into consciousness and the beautiful terror removed her foot. He lay, gasping and coughing, trying to force air back into his lungs. Sakura knelt by him.

"It won't be like my dream, and I won't leave you."

"You're...alive..." he swallowed and looked up at her, begging her to go. Instead she laid her hand on his chest and he gasped with the new ache it caused. Sakura willed her power into him and he felt lighter, not in so much pain. His eyes closed and he fell asleep, free from the battle. Sakura looked upward as the laughter began.

"You can't win."

"Where are they?" Eli murmured as he sought for Yue and Keroberrows' power signatures. "They were there a minute ago." Finally he found them, very faint, as well as Spinner's. Ruby's was the strongest one, and then he felt Sakura. He felt her hatred and loathing as well as her fear for Yue and Li and Keroberrows. "Good luck Sakura."

"What makes you think you can win this battle little girl? I am much stronger then you." The mocking laughter continued.

"I don't intend to lose." Sakura said in a low tone, just daring Ruby to make the first move. "I call upon the power of my star; ancient forces near and far, Shot card transform all your might and draw your power from my light. Release!" The card shone with an intense light and turned into the pink Sakura card. The Shot waited for a command. "Shot card, your target is Ruby Moon!" Shot turned and fired itself at Ruby; she dodged and slung an energy sphere at Sakura. Avoiding it she used the staff to call upon Jump. Leaping about she called on the Sword and slashed at Ruby, clipping a butterfly wing.

"No!" Ruby withdrew her wings and settled on the ground still trying to avoid Shot while slinging crystal shards at Sakura. One ricocheted off the ground near Yue's sleeping form.

"I need to get away from him." She thought frantically, then she saw that Ruby was still fending off Shot and was unguarded on all sides. Sakura took the opportunity and struck, hard and fast. Screaming, the moon guardian sank to her knees, defeated. "You have lost, accept defeat and return to your barrowed form or die here and now."

"But, I can't lose. You don't understand." Tears welled up in the guardian's eyes.

"Return to your barrowed form now!" Regretfully Ruby transformed back into her other form. Blood ran down her body from more then one place. "Come with me." Sakura commanded and walked over to Yue. Imitating Clow Reed she forced him to transform back into Julian. The poor youth was soaked, torn and bloody from 'his' long fight with Ruby. Using the Float card she picked him up and returned to Li, Ruby following close behind.

"Let's go home, Sakura." She nodded.

"Tori needs to know. Kero and Spinner are going to need to be patched up at my house. No one else can know about this." Commanding Float to pick them all up she used Fly to gain her wings. As they neared the Avalon household they saw an anxious Tori and Eli. She set everyone down and followed.

"Eli told me everything. Bring them inside." Once inside Eli used his powers to heal Spinner, Keroberrows and Ruby, Li would recover on his own. Julian's wounds, however, were too extensive to be healed all the way.

"I am very disappointed in you Ruby, Spinner." He looked down on their barrowed forms. Kero, back in his barrowed form, sat on a tired Sakura's shoulder while Li stood near by. "Look at what you have done. Don't you realize that you were going to kill Yue and everyone else? That behavior is unacceptable and you will be punished." His voice was calm and level, no one made any move to go against what he said. "I will not allow you to return to your true forms until I am satisfied that you two have learned your lessons." He looked to Sakura. "I am very sorry about what happened. Julian can be submitted to the hospital and no questions will be asked." Bowing to them all he left and took Ruby and Spinner with him.

"Julian..." he was lying on the kitchen floor so that blood wouldn't get on everything. Tori nodded to Li and Sakura.

"Lets get him to the hospital."

"Could I please see Julian now? He got out of surgery at ten thirty." Sakura anxiously held on to Kero.

"Oh, you mean the poor boy that was in the car accident? Sure, he's in recovery, room 216." The nurse pointed down the hallway and gave Sakura a sympathetic look.

"Thank you very much." She bowed and ran down the corridor counting the rooms finally hitting 216. Entering the room she saw that another nurse was checking the IV drip and lines heading into his arm. She waited until she was finished and closed the door behind her, locking it.

"He doesn't look so good." Kero stated. "Ruby sure did a number on him, Clow should have punished them severely for this one." She sighed and looked at the pale youth.

"Clow knows best. Oh Julian, I'm so sorry this had to happen to you." The sheets were only pulled up to his waist and she could see the white bandages covering his shoulder and chest. He was so pale and not moving at all save for the small but steady rise and fall of his chest.

"Open the shades and let the moonlight in, it's full tonight." Kero fluttered over to the heavy canvas blinds and tugged on them. Sakura moved to the barrier, moving them a little bit so that the moon's gaze fell on Julian's waxen face and glinted of his glasses on the side table. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door.

"I'm a nurse, I need to check his temp." A voice said.

"Coming." Sliding open the door she allowed the nurse access.

"Will he be okay?" Sakura asked quietly. The nurse slid the thermometer into his ear and waited for the beep.

"I think he'll be fine, just needs plenty of rest and a little time to heal." She wrote something on his chart and left.

"One hundred and two. That's pretty high Kero, don't you think?" The yellow 'teddy bear' had hid under the bed and was now sitting near Julian's head.

"Yeah, but I guess the nurse thinks it's alright. I mean she didn't freak out or anything. He moved." Kero flew behind Sakura's shoulder.

"What do you mean he moved?" Her answer came at that moment as Julian revealed his tired eyes and inhaled sharply as a wave of pain caught him off guard.

"Mm...where am...I?" He murmured and shut his eyes.

"You're back at the hospital. You were in a car accident." His eyes opened and he peered at Sakura as if trying to remember who she was.

"Sakura?" His voice was very soft and quiet.

"Yep, it's me."

"I'm so glad...you're...okay. I had the...strangest dream...you were hurt and I couldn't...get...to...you..." his voice faded away as he slipped back to sleep.

Tori walked across the college grounds and over to the tree that Julian was leaning against, holding his sides.

"How are you feeling?" Julian looked up and smiled.

"Just a little tired." He whispered. "But I'm fine." Tori put a hand on his non-hurt shoulder.

"You can always go home, you don't have to be in classes for another day." Julian shook his head.

"No, I can make it through the day." The bell rang and he walked towards the door. "See you, Tori." Tori spotted Ruby running across the grounds.

"I'm watching you, Ruby Moon."

Well, that's a wrap. Hope you all enjoyed it, thank you and don't forget to review! ^-^v
