'Where the light and dark dances: part 2'


Continued~

Nicholas~

Nicholas stared at Sakura, no Catherine reach for Eriol, otherwise known as Christian back in his time.Nicholas wondered why Christian, who's black hair and dark violet eyes made most ladies fall in love at first sight of him chose *HIS* love.Nicholas glared at the pair.But also worried about Sakura, it might have been too sudden for her who never seem to have regained any of her previous life as Catherine Le Faorine.He didn't want to hurt her but he had no other choice but use such force and speed so Eriol couldn't stop it in time.

Eriol~

With Sakura craddled in arms like this, he felt angry at Nicholas for throwing this dangerous spell with such speed and force. Sakura could have been hurt badly if she didn't have strong magic to stop any real harm done.He just wanteed to stop all this madness and be with Sakura quietly under the Tsukimine shrine's Sakura trees.He stroked her now quiet long hair.She reminded him of picture of Sakura's deceased mother he saw at her house.Except of course hair color and that it was straight.He smiled silently and put her safely nearby roof top chimney."Well I will make sure Sakura will never be yours for all eternity" Eriol then smiled and drew his power in for high impact spell.He saw Nicholas also summoning his own spell.

Eriol cast fire, earth, air/wind and water elements to four direction and raised his hand raising their power then they all swirled together forming a strong magical circle outside his usual magical circle.Nicholas seem to be doing the same.


I am the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows.
I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath.
I am the Ending before Life begins again,
the Decay that fertilizes the Living.
I am the Bottomless Pit,
the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied.
I am the Key that unlocks every Door.
I am the Glory of Discovery,
for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden.

Come to me at the Dark Moon and see that which can not be seen,
face the terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest oceans
to the center of your greatest fears--
the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it,
until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure
of meeting you at the Crossroads Between the Worlds.!


The power unseen from the earth below Eriol burst withing, it was dark power but controlled tightly under Eriol's magical circle.
"Forward! I command this dark power! held under the honor of dark goddess!heal and let his soul enter higher plane of existance!"Eriol's eyes were deadly and beautiful, but determined to the point it scared anyone who looked at him and his eyes.The dark power flared with Eriol's energy of dark purple and rushed forward towards Nicholas, when Nicholas threw his spell as well.His green energy blazed with surge ofhis own power mixed with Earth elemental power as well and surged foward when Nicholas started to work his spell.

Air, Fire, Water, Earth,
Elements of astral birth,
I call you now; attend to me!
In the Circle, rightly cast,
Safe from curse or blast,
I call you now, attend to me!
From cave and desert,sea and hill,
By wand, blade,and pentacle,
I call you now, attend to me!
This Is my will, so mote it be!


Two powers collided with huge explosion. Sakura covered her eyes but when she removed her hand from eyes she saw Both Eriol and Nicholas still surging with so much magical power withing and around them.

"Please Stop! Both of you! " Sakura yelled at them trying to stop the madness, even which was infecting her as her old memories of previous life flooded back with it also the love for Nicholas she had as Catherine. She knew she was in trouble if her emotions were in such turmoil.

Both turned to her and amazingly Nicholas's hard eyes softened with longing at her, and Eriol's deadly look left his eyes and he smiled."What is it my love? do not worry I won't hurt him but I need to do something." Eriol said."No, Eriol, isn't there better solution then blasting each other with such impact of your pwoers? I did not want any of you fight, because of my own troubled feelings." Sakura hung her head and let her tears flow over. which made both guys drop their circle and come rushing to her. Eriol reached her first. He cradled her head on his chest. Nicholas's eye clouded over with tears as well and walked a few steps back from the couple and raised his voice in most beautiful voice and started singing a short tune,

(AN: this is "Moonlight Destiny" from ending of S Movie in Sailor Moon)

Why, when I am with the wondrous you Does the time fly by us so easily
Upon the lifeless sea, the nighttime descends, with the first star
This is magic reaching us from the moon Even without a word,
I know it's true The two of us must be thinking about the same thing
Moonlight destiny Forever, more than anyone, I want to be with you
Below this spacious sky above, you who I met by chance Moonlight destiny
Through all the joy and the pain, we will share it together
In my heart that's how I feel, when I am with you....

Sakura lifted her head but Nicholas was looking at the full moon that has merged from the clouds and shone his snow white hair like bright light. His tears were tears of regret,longing and yet also an unreadable emotion.Sakura lowered her head again and let Eriol hug her tighter and drop a kiss on her head.Nicholas turned after a long silence.

"Well to end this without bloodshed, Who do you choose, Sakura-san? I will stand by that choice and act accordingly" His ever so green eyes were hard but behind it she could his eyes quivering with so much emotions. It matched her eyes perfectly...but Sakura looked at both guys and were lost, She didn't know it would come to this.
