Author's Notes: I was listening to 'Amee' (I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling), the piano song from Final Fantasy VIII when I was writing this chapter. I like that song...^_^. Well anyway, a character that is being introduced, 'Masami' is just minor character, so don't worry about him.

Thank you to all those who reviewed my story! Especially, 'SakuraJade', she has been reviewing mostly ever chapter in my story! Thank you!! You're the best! ^_^ I suggest you guys should read her story too. It's really cool! Thanks to the others who have been reviewing, you guys are the best.

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura or any of its characters. The only characters I own is Yuri, Mayuko, and Hitoshi.

The True Meaning of Destiny*

--Chapter 9: Mixed Feelings...Tears of Sadness

A dream being held on to...

Is never forgotten, yet when one thinks of hatred

It loses power...

Hold on to the dream and hold it to the Light

From there, dreams turn to reality..

**

"Mistress Sakura...Mistress Sakura..." A young man said to her while she was standing out in a balcony.

"Yes, what is it, Masami...?" Sakura asked as she continued to gaze into the moon.

"The Dark Forces are planning war against us, my lady...They have clearly announced it to the entire world...and it is up to you to do what is right to save this planet, Sakura..." Masami said.

"The Dark Forces...Led by whom?" Sakura asked.

"Lady Mayuko and her henchmen,"

"Mayuko? Isn't she the Mistress of Darkness? The one who keeps the Evil away from the world?"

"Yes..."

"But why...Why did she...?" Sakura sighed. "If Mayuko is behind this, then I have come up with a solution..."

"Already, Sakura?"

"Yes..."

"What's your plan?"

"...I'll make Mayuko a part of me..."

"What!? But, Sakura, if you do that...then darkness will take over your body!"

"Masami, you do not understand. I will keep Mayuko in my body for all of eternity...Never allowed to rule over the world again...And if she and I split apart, she cannot kill me because she and I will be one of the same."

"But what about the Book?"

"The Book will be fine...As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Evil...Do not worry, Masami..."

"Yes, my lady..."

Sakura turned and turned in her sleep. Memories of the past filled her mind in her dreams...but also premonitions.

**

The world was being consumed with Darkness and fire raged among the cities, and people burned among it. Sakura was dripping blood and was also losing it quickly, yet she wouldn't stop walking until she got to the 'Sacred Holy Area'. Holding her shoulder, with one eye closed she continued to walk.

She looked up and saw the bodies of Eriol and Tomoyo...And Syaoran all up in the sky, floating...dying...She stopped walking and looked at Syaoran. The Evil Being came into scene and used magic to make them all against her...Eyes filled with such hatred, she was frightened.

She drew back and they came after her. "Syaoran! Syaoran, stop it please!" She yells. He takes out a sword and begins to strike at Sakura who is jumping back quickly, but cannot keep up because of her wounds.

"Die, Sakura..." Syaoran whispered.

"SYAORAN!!" Sakura screamed. The sword pierced through her heart and she fell to the ground.

**

"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled out while she woke up in a cold sweat. She breathed heavily and held her head. "What a nightmare..." She thought as she looked at Syaoran.

"Syaoran...Would never do that...Will he?" She thought as she continued to gaze at him. She shook his head. "No. Syaoran's my best friend, friends don't do that." She stood up and went to a running river and placed her hand in it. "I can't let anything get in my way of defeating Mayuko..."

As she went away from the fountain, she walked to an open field filled with many flowers. The moon reflected and shone brightly upon her and she looked up and smiled. But just then, two men came out of nowhere with rocket launchers.

"FREEZE!" One of them screamed.

Sakura, looking frightened, froze in place and she was trembling. She looked at an emblem on their uniforms and knew it belonged to Mayuko since Hitoshi was wearing the same emblem.

"Mistress Sakura, don't move and you won't be harmed." The other said.

"H...How do you know I'm the Mistress?" Sakura asked, not looking at them.

"Lady Mayuko sent for us and we know exactly how you look like from your school files...Heh-heh, it seems that Lady Mayuko has some plans set for you."

"W...What does she want?" Sakura asked.

"You know very well what she wants, Sakura...Now...Don't move!" One of the men shot an electrifying net but Sakura jumped high and it didn't reach her.

Still floating in the air, she took out a Japanese charm. "Darkness be gone!" She yelled as she shot many of them towards the men. The men, being too quick, dodged the charms and one of them began shooting their rocket launcher.

Sakura was flying in the sky, trying to dodge their shots, but didn't get too lucky when one of the bullets hit her arm. She winced and collapsed on her knees on the ground. "Please, stop! You don't know what the consequence of kidnapping me may be!" She exclaimed.

"We do not care of that, Mistress Sakura. We are only doing what Lady Mayuko wants..." One of the men said.

Sakura started trembling and started to screamed because they were getting close to her with every step. "Syaoran!! Syaoran, please help me!!" She screamed. "SYAORAN!!"

**

Syaoran woke up in a cold sweat and noticed that Sakura wasn't beside him. He then heard Sakura's screams and quickly got up. He ran to where two men were about to enslave her and quickly dove into them, causing them to fall. Syaoran quickly went to Sakura and saw the bullet wound on her shoulder.

"Sakura, are you okay!?" He asked.

"Y...Yeah..." She replied, weakly.

"You need to see a doctor, you're losing too much blood!" He exclaimed.

"Not so fast!!!" One man screamed. "Our job was to take hostage of that girl, and we're not leaving until we finished that job!" He began to shoot at them, but Syaoran quickly took Sakura into his arms and was dodging the bullets quickly.

"He's too fast!" The other guy exclaimed.

Syaoran stuck his hand out. "Ice Avalanche!!" He yelled as ice spears and heavy snow came down upon them. Both being covered in ice, Syaoran ran away with Sakura.

**

"I...I can't heal it with my magic, Syaoran..." Sakura said faintly as Syaoran kept on walking to the nearest infirmary. "Some...Something's...blocking my usage of magic...I...I think it may be...the bullet they shot...Some...anti-magic shield...Ugh..." Sakura winced.

"Shh...Sakura, don't talk anymore. You gotta save your strength..." Syaoran said softly.

"Syaoran..."

"What, Sakura...?"

"I don't wanna die yet..." She started to cry.

"...You're not going to die, Sakura!"

"I feel myself...I feel myself ...slipping...My...My...b...body is...n- numb..."

"Sakura, don't! Just stop!! You're not gonna die!! Don't say those things!!" Syaoran yelled as tears welled up in his eyes.

"S...Syaoran..." Sakura whispered as she started to cry some more.

"S-Sakura...No! You're not gonna die, you're not gonna leave me alone!" Syaoran exclaimed as he started running. As he ran he saw bright lights...Lights of a city. A city meant an infirmary so he quickly ran into the city. AS he was going to enter, two guards stopped him.

"People who aren't residents of this area are not allowed to enter." One man said.

"I have to get in! My friend was badly injured, she needs help!!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, sir, but the rules are rules!"

Syaoran started to get angry and upset, and he started to cry. "I have to get in, I don't know how long she'll last!! Please, sir!! Let me in! ...My world will be crushed if something happens to her..." He looked away.

The two men looked at each other then at Syaoran. "Alright...You may enter. Just keep your identity, on the down low. I don't want the residents to be scared. Everyone is frightened because they're worried about that Mayuko woman and her henchmen."

"Thank you..." Syaoran said as he entered the city. He found the infirmary and quickly brought her in. He quickly explained the situation to the doctors and nurses and they took her in the emergency room.
