Chapter 5: Dimensions of Time


Sakura pulled away from the figures arms. "Don't touch me!" She hollered at his face.

The figure chuckled and took off his mask...

"...Re..retosha-kun!" Sakura stammered. "Why? I mean how..?!"

Kahzuni smirked and threw his mask aside. "I am a powerful sorcerer Sakura. I may have lost to Clow Reed in the past, but my powers have strenghened making me the most powerful sorcerer in the world! And you are the most powerful sorceress, aren't we the perfect match?"

"No! Don't even think about it!" Sakura looked around. "Where am I anyways?"

"In the dimensions of time my beautiful cherry blossom," Kahzuni took her hand. "Let me show you the future."

Sakura felt a strong wind pulling at her, and colors fly by. Suddenly, they stopped and she opened her eyes.

"W..Why are we at a graveyard?" Sakura noticed all the grave stones, and assumed this was a graveyard.

"Come." Kahzuni led her behind a couple unblooming cherry blossom trees, and then they saw a grave. "Look."

Sakura stepped closer to the grave, and gasped. "No! You're just scaring me aren't you?! Syaoran is perfectly fine!"

"Yes he is, in present time he perfectly fine. In the future, he is not," Kahzuni started laughing insanely.

Sakura threw a punch at him, but he grabbed her fist. "Don't get violent now Sakura. This is just the truth so believe it!" He spat.

"But how could he die?! It's not possible!" Sakura choked.

"Everybody dies. Including your beloved Syaoran Li," Kahzuni grabbed her hand again and Sakura once again felt the strong wind pulling her.

She opened her eyes and saw that they were in a forest. "Be quiet." Kahzuni ordered.

Sakura heard footsteps coming their way, but they hid safely behind the bushes and peeked around to look. Four people were coming up the mountain trail..

"Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, and me!" Sakura gasped.

The future Syaoran turned to look directly at her, Sakura went frozen still.

"Hey Sakura...do you feel an aura?" Syaoran asked the future Sakura.

Future Sakura tilted her head. "Hoe? I don't feel anything!"

"I guess I'm hullicinating," Syaoran shrugged.

Sakura let out a sigh of relief from behind the bushes. "Follow," Kahzuni said in a low voice.

They ended up high on the mountain, and the four future people were gazing at the view. Sakura and Kahzuni were behind trees and watching them.

The future Sakura was at the edge of the cliff admiring the rolling waves. "Wow! It's so kirei (pretty)!"

"Watch out Sakura!" Meiling screamed.

The future Sakura slipped and let out a yelp, but she felt a strong grip on her and looked up.

"Shaoran! Help me please!" The future Sakura yelped.

Sakura wanted to run over and help her future self and Syaoran. But Kahzuni held her firmly.

Syaoran pulled hard on Sakura but then he slipped, causing Sakura to slip off to.

"NO!!!" Tomoyo screamed.

The future Sakura flung out the fly card and she floated back up...but Syaoran...

"NO! SHAORAN!!!!" The future Sakura screamed.

Meiling threw a punch at the future Sakura but she dodged it. "HOW COULD NOT SAVE XIAOLANG?! HOW COULD YOU!!!!? YOU COULD HAVE CAST THAT FLY CARD ON HIM TOO!!!" Meiling threw another punch but missed again.

Tomoyo grabbed Meiling to stop her. "Meiling! Calm down already!"

"I...I didn't see it coming!" The future Sakura choked through her tears. "I thought he was going to use his wind magic or something! I didn't even see him fall!"

"YEAH RIGHT! EXCUSES KINOMOTO!" Meiling screamed with rage.

The present Sakura closed her eyes. "Can't we leave now?"

"Sure."

Sakura felt the pulling of the wind and they were back at the huge black empty room.

"I was all your fault Sakura Kinomoto, that Syaoran died," Kahzuni said mockingly.

"WELL I CAN CHANGE IT!" Sakura screamed.

Kahzuni laughed, "No you can't. Because I've put a spell in the future making that it is impossible to change what has happened there."

"WHY YOU!" Sakura tried kicking him, but she missed. "What do you have against me anyways?!"

Kahzuni grunted, "Everything."

"What do you mean!?"

"I vowed to have revenge on all of Clow Reed's descendants. Clow Reed caused me to suffer. Suffer alright?! And now I want his dead body to regret!" Kahzuni yelled. "He killed my family, he took away my only love at that time. And now I will do the same to you and your beloved Syaoran! I will make you both suffer more than I ever did." He hissed. "You will regret ever meeting Syaoran Li."

Sakura then felt a green aura pulling at her. Pulling and pulling and suddenly she looked around a hospital room.

"Hoe?!"

"Sakura-chan! You're awake!!!" Sakura heard Tomoyo's voice.

She sat up and saw a exhausted Syaoran and a happy Kero. "Shaoran?" She said gently.

"He used the time card to get you back Sakura. I knew you were somewhere stuck in the dimensions of time because I had a feeling..." Kero explainde. "So, I guess we should thank the gaki."

"Oh Shaoran! Arigatou.." Sakura hugged him, but she remembered everything that she had seen in the future. "Kero...I saw something..." Sakura suddenly felt a pounding head ache and she gasped in pain.

Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Sakura!"

After a few seconds Sakura recovered. *What...what was that all about?* Sakura thought.

"What did you see Sakura?" Kero asked.

"...n..Nothing," Sakura uttered. "Why am I hear? Why do I have bandages all over me?!"

Syaoran frowned, "You got hit by a car and that car didn't have a driver."

"..Retosha-kun..." Sakura said in a low voice.

"What?" The other three people asked. "I didn't quite hear that." Kero said.

Sakura started to say Kahzuni but then the headache took over again. She held her head tightly. "My head hurts so badly!" She shrieked.

"Get the doctor!!!" Tomoyo cried urgently at no one.

But then, after a few seconds Sakura felt ok again.

"This is getting strange..." Kero pointed out.

"Are you sure you're ok Sakura?" Syaoran asked with concern.

Sakura took off the bandages. "I don't have any cuts anymore! Or bruises!" Sakura stood up and twirled around the room to prove that she was fine.

Tomoyo blinked, "But you were bleeding alot...yet you don't even have a scar!"

"Maybe it's because of my magical abilities," Sakura guessed.

"Maybe, but it's still strange," Kero said.

Syaoran nodded, "Be careful Sakura."

Sakura had decided to take a walk down Cherry Tree Street to clear her mind. She didn't get why everytime she was going to mention Kahzuni or anything about the past, a headache would strike.

"Hello my cherry blossom."

Sakura turned around and saw Kahzuni. "Why are you still here?" Sakura summoned her star wand. "Looking for your death?"

Kahzuni shook his head, "No my sweet blossom. But I advise you that you stay away from Syaoran."

"Why should I?!" Sakura demanded.

"Because." And he disappeared.

Sakura felt frightened. She was frightened for Syaoran's safety, her safety, and everyone related to her. She quickly ran to Syaoran's apartment, she had to make sure that he was alright.

She stopped in front of his door, and knocked.

Wei answered with a small smile, "Hello Miss. Kinomoto, looking for Master Li I suppose?"

Sakura smiled at him and nodded. "He's in his room." Wei replied.

Sakura thanked him and knocked at Syaoran's door. "Come in." He said.

She stepped into the room, and noticed that it wasn't as dark as before when she came to his room before she got hit by a car. She walked up to Syaoran who was doing his homework at his desk. "Hey Shaoran."

"Oh! Sakura! I didn't know it was you!" Syaoran exclaimed and turned around to face Sakura.

Sakura smiled gently at him. "You don't still hate me do you?"

"Of course not...I was just so blinded by the thought of you kissing someone else, I didn't think why you would..." Syaoran said. "But now I know that you didn't do it on your own will." He pulled her closer when suddenly he felt a sharp pain hit him. He pushed Sakura away and groaned in pain.

"Shaoran?!" Sakura cried out with wide shocked eyes. "Are you alright?!"

"I'm...I'm fine..." Syaoran slowly got up again.

Sakura went over to help him up, but then he fell back down in pain again. "Sakura! Don't touch me!" He cried.

Sakura stepped back, frightened. "O..Ok..."

"Gomen..." Syaoran said softly when he recovered. "It just seems like when you touch me I feel so much pain..."

"I better get going..." Sakura said abruptly and left the room.

She decided to go home, but along the way she was thinking.

No my sweet blossom. But I advise you that you stay away from Syaoran.

She kept on repeating that line that Kahzuni had said to her. Was this what he meant by 'stay away from Syaoran'?
