Chapter Two: A change in plans
"Shh, it's getting closer."
"I think you're losing it Sakura."
Sakura silenced him with a look and summoned her wand.
She was bombarded with a magical force so strong that she fell backwards onto her bed. When she looked up, a tall, gray haired man was standing in her room. "Hello? Who are you?" Sakura demanded.
The man grinned, his aura flaring. "Sakura, little cherry-blossom, you are mine."
*****************
Sakura got into a fighting stance and glared at the figure in front of her. "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Who I am should not concern you, little cherry-blossom." He replied, taking a step towards her. She immediately took two steps back. "And what I want." He chuckled, sending cold shivers down her spin. "You are to serve as a. shall we say guarantee of participation."
"What?!" She demanded..
"A friend of yours and I have an arrangement tomorrow, or did he not tell you?"
"What are you talking about!"
"Yea jerk, what's your deal?" Kero demanded.
"Kero." Sakura breathed through gritted teeth.
The man turned towards the flying doll and smiled one of his cold smiles. "Now what do we have here? Cerobus (AN: spelled right? I don't know!!) what are you doing out of the Clow Book unless. Yes, this makes perfect sense." Once again he turned back towards Sakura. "You must be the Card Mistress." For a moment, he looked thoughtful.
"Kero, who is this?" She demanded in a shaky whisper.
"I. I don't know Sakura. I recognize him from somewhere but I can't remember who he is. But he's powerful, an evil power."
"I know, I can feel his aura." She replied, "But I don't understand; who is he talking about? Which friend does he mean?"
"Li-san, you know Li-san?" The man hinted in response to her question.
"This is about that brat? What does he have to do with this?!"
"Kero, shut-up before you make more trouble!"
"So you do know Li-san?" The man inquired with a knowing look. "We made a deal. I figured he would be a nice addition to the forces I have assembled to find the Card Mistress and take the cards from her. He refused and challenged me to a battle. When I win, he was to join my forces."
"And if you lose?"
"I do not lose, Card Mistress. And for this reason I was doubtful that he would show, so I figured I would give him some motivation, you."
"That's a stupid mistake. Li-kun could care less about what happens to me."
Again, the man laughed his cold laugh. "Little Card Mistress, how naiveté you are. You have never realized how Li-san feels about you? I know, for a fact, that he would give his heart and sole, his very life for your sake. He loves you with all his heart. But it this love will lead to his demise." He mocked.
"What?" Sakura asked, bewildered by the revelation.
"Yes, Card Mistress. It is true. Don't believe me? Tomorrow you can ask him yourself."
"And you're going to use me to."
"I was going to use you to make sure he came. Then I would have defeated him and forced him to join my ranks."
"No, don't hurt him, please."
"Funny, he said the same for you." He smirked. "But have no fear, my cherry-blossom. My plans have changed. You were the one I was after in the first place, you and your cards. Now, since I'm in a generous mood, I suppose that if you give up your cards like a nice little girl, I may let you both go free."
Give up the cards? Never. "You don't 'have' either of us." Sakura reminded him.
"You are wrong, Card Mistress, for I have you."
"Sakura! Use a card!" Kero shouted, sensing an attack.
"Fiery! Release!"
The attack, however (AN: Sorries I couldn't describe it, honestly, I don't know what it does!!!) did not seem to affect the man. "As you can see, Card Mistress, I am invincible." He bragged, "Hand over the cards now."
"You still don't have me. I could scream for my father or brother and they would come running."
"If they could hear you. Go ahead, little Sakura. Yell all you like. It will get you no where." The man took a step towards her and she yelled with all her might, "Onii-chan (spelled right? Supposed to be brother in Japanese) Help!" But Touya did not come.
He smirked and advanced on her again, backing her into the corner. "Now, Card Mistress, I have you." Said his sinister voice as he clamped two hands firmly to her shoulders. A strange sensation flooded through her body and Sakura felt her eyes slowly begin to close. A abnormal peace took over her body, giving her a sleepy sensation.
"Li-kun. Syaroan. Help me." She whispered before she plunged into darkness.
***Syaroan's POV (AN: sorta, I think you guys know how I work this by now.)***
*"As you can see, Card Mistress, I am invincible." Bragged a dark figure. Syaroan blinked. He was in Sakura's room, but he wasn't the only one. Sakura was there, of course, dressed in lose pajama pants and a tank top. She looked so beautiful, even when.
he slapped himself mentally for the though and turned his attention back to the sense. The figure standing in front of her look familiar, even from the back. It was the man he had challenged earlier that night.
"Hand over the cards now." He demanded.
"You still don't have me. I could scream for my father or brother and they would come running." Sakura threatened, holding her sealing staff like a baseball bat.
"If they could hear you. Go ahead, little Sakura. Yell all you like. It will get you no where." The man smirked and took a step foreword.
"Onii-chan! Help me!" She screamed.
"Leave her alone!" Syaroan tried to yell, but his lips made no sound. He tried to step towards them, but his legs were immobile.
With a huge smirk plastered on his face, the man advanced on her. Terrified, Sakura nearly ran backwards, stopping with her back against the wall. "Now, Card Mistress, I have you." Upon saying this, the man reached out and grasped Sakura's shoulders with his hands.*
"Don't touch her! Sakura!!" Syaroan screamed, jolting awake. He was breathing heavily. What a horrible dream. He thought to himself, wiping his forehead with the sleeve of his night shirt and preparing to lay back down.
Suddenly, he was jerked into alertness. He felt something out of place. An aura. colored pink and very strong. Sakura's! Usually, he wasn't able to sense it from this far away, or maybe he was just dreaming. No, he defiantly felt it, and it felt. frightened.
He jumped out of bed and called out his sword preparing to go to the rescue of his cherry-blossom. But then, it was gone. Not gone, just dimmed dramatically. If he strained his senses, he could barley feel it. It was relaxed now, which meant she was too.
"She's probably having nightmares." He thought, putting away his sword. But he was still worried. Something didn't feel right. An image flew before his eyes.
*He watched as Sakura's eyes began to droop and her legs swayed.
"Li-kun. Syaroan. Help me." She muttered softly before dropping to the floor with a thump.*
Syaroan shook his head violently. Everything was fine. That man wouldn't hurt Sakura, he had no reason to. It had probably been a bad dream on her part. Hadn't she been telling him a few nights ago that she still had nightmares about their card capturing days?
Still he felt uneasy. Syaroan looked towards the phone resting on his desk. Maybe if I called her just to make sure. No! don't be a baka (AN: means idiot or something like that, right?) She'll be fine, you'll see her tomorrow at school. Now go to sleep!
He reluctantly obeyed his subconscious and drifted into an uneasy sleep.
The next morning, he awoke at five and trained for an hour before beginning his walk to school.
When Syaroan arrived at class, Sakura wasn't there.
Not surprising, she's always late. He assured himself.
Time slipped slowly by and the classroom eventually became full. The bell rang and all the students took their seats. The professor (AN: He has no name, just 'professor') took role call. When he called out Sakura's name, there was silence.
"Kincmoto is not here?" He wondered aloud, looking shocked that she was more then ten minutes later. (AN: does NE one know what the suffix or whatever they're called is when it's a teacher talking to a student? I thought it was -san, but that means respect, but I think -chan means friend. I'm confused!!! Oh yeah, and how do you spell Sakura's last name? I have it somewhere but I'm too lazy to look! And sorry, I know I didn't spell it anywhere close to right!)
She's never been this late before. Syaroan thought worriedly. With a sigh of regret he tapped the dark haired girl sitting diagonally from him on the shoulder.
"Daidoji?"
"Aie Li-kun?" (I can't spell in English, so I obviously can't do it in Japanese! That's supposed to be 'yes', however you spell it.)
"Do you know where Sakura is? Is she home sick?"
Tomoyo shrugged. "I don't know, Li-kun. She didn't call me." Her face took on a worried look, "Is something wrong?"
"Maybe." He admitted, glancing around the room. His gaze happened to fall on the cherry blossom tree outside. It's beautiful. He thought, momentarily distracted, Just like her. Then something caught his eye. A man was standing below it, a man with a powerful gray aura.
You. Syaroan glared at the figure, who smiled and closed his eyes.
:You cherry-blossom calls.: Came his voice inside his head.
Sakura! What did you do! You better not hurt her or.!
:Come to me, young warrior, and you can see for yourself.:
Without a second thought, Syaroan stood up right in the middle of his professor's lecture and sprinted for the door, oblivious to the startled cry of, "Li-san!"
He ran at top speed down the halls and out onto the lawn, oblivious to teachers and students alike.
When he reached the tree, he was panting for breath.
The man looked down on him with amusement.
"Where. is. she." Syaroan panted, his tone filled with rage.
His lips curved into a provocative smile. "Right this way, little wolf."
Syaroan felt a cold, strong hand press down on his head, and then there was blackness.
