DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN IT!!!



Loyalty complied and in seconds, Cham-si was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. The card returned to its previous form and hovered in front of Sakura before falling the ground. "Betrayal, return to your form! I, Sakura, command you!!" With an earsplitting cry, Cham-si withered and twisted before disappearing entirely. The last card appeared in front of Sakura; Cham-si's smirking face on the front.

Sakura smiled grimily, took an urgent step towards the fallen Syaoran, and dropped to the ground unconscious. One thing the card mistress did notice before she blanked out entirely was the fact that there was now grass below her, not stone.

********

A girl lay unconscious in an all white hospital room. A second girl with dark hair sat loyally by her side, looking sadly down on her injured friend.

Hesitantly, the girl in the bed shifted and a strand of auburn hair fell onto her face. She let out a small moan and brushed the strand aside with a pale hand.

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo whispered hopefully, "Sakura-chan, can you hear me?"

Her eye-lids fluttered open, reviling emerald orbs filled with confusion. "T…Tomoyo?" Came the horse reply, "Tomoyo-chan, where am I?" Sakura's memory came flashing back to her at a startling speed, "Where's Syaoran?" She demanded urgently, "Is he all right?"

"If you don't calm down, the doctor will throw me out." Her friend threatened, "You're in the hospital; so is Li-kun. Eriol-kun and I found both of you unconscious in the park, so we brought you here. The doctor's couldn't believe Li-kun's injuries; he lost a lot of blood…"

Sakura felt herself pale. "Tomoyo-chan, please say he's going to be okay…"

"Hai, he will be." She replied, smiling at the concern her friend showed, "They gave him a lot of stitches, but they expect a full recovery." Her face sobered immediately and she demanded in a whisper, "What happened? Did this have something to do with Cham-si?"

A solemn nod confirmed Tomoyo's suspicions. "I don't want to talk about it right now." Sakura said, painful memories flirting across her memory, "I'll tell you later, Tomoyo-chan."

Tomoyo gave her an understanding look and smiled again, "Oh! Li-kun wants to see you, he's very worried."

"Where is he?"

"A room down the hall. Can you walk?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess there's only one way to find out…" She slid out of bed and winced as her feet touched the cold tile below. Seconds later, she was following her friend down the hallway and into another bedroom.

It was larger than the one she had been in, and filled with equipment. A bed and chair were the only other furniture that occupied the room. Sitting in the chair was a dark haired boy with glasses. He looked up when he heard the door open and smiled at the two girls.

"Hello Tomoyo-chan; Sakura-chan, I'm glad to see you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Better." She replied.

"Is Li-kun awake?" Tomoyo inquired immediately.

He shook his head, "No, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you woke him."

Sakura walked closer to the bed and looked down on its occupant. It was her Syaoran, peacefully asleep. She noted with deep regret the blood soaked bandages vissible on his arm. "Don't do that…" She began to object.

Eriol ignored her protest and shook his shoulder, "Wake up, cute little descendant…"

Syaoran groaned and opened one eyes, closing it immediately, "Go away."

"Fine, if you don't want to talk to Sakura-chan, I'll…"

"Sakura?" His eyes shot open.

He smirked, "Yes, she came to visit." Eriol glanced around and locked gazes with Tomoyo before clearing his throat. "I need a drink; Tomoyo-chan, would you show me where the cafeteria is?"

"Of course, Eriol-kun." She replied. They left the room, but not before sending identical looks back at the couple.

Sakura giggled, seeing this, them sobered immediately. She took a seat on the bed and looked down on him, feeling a guilty feeling rising in her stomach. "Syaoran, are you… how are you feeling?" She wondered softly.

"Better, now that I know you're okay." He replied soluemly, taking her hand in his, "Are you okay?"

She nodded, "But you, are you sure you're all right? You look horrible and…"

Syaoran silenced her with a kiss. "We could go on like this forever." He whispered with a small smile.

"I'm so glad you're alright." She whispered, pulling her entire body onto the bed and leaning on Syaoran. He wrapped an arm around her and held her protectively. With a sigh of happiness, she laid down next to him, her head on her chest.

"Everything will be fine now, don't worry." He whispered softly as he kissed the top of her head, "Everything will be fine."

*** Three Weeks Later ***

-Ding Dong!- Syaoran glanced up from his vigrous workout, sending a death glare at the door. The exspresion disaperaed, however, when he felt the aura that belonged to the person hidden behind the wood.

"Sakura, what are you doing here?" He wondered, pushing sweat slicked hair out of his face.

"You don't seem very happy to see me." Sakura replied, grinning up at him.

Syaoran leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. "I'd hug you, but I was training. I don't think you want that."

She wrinkled her noise. "No, I wouldn't. Go take a shower."

"Excuse me?" He demanded, raising an eyebrow.

"I said, go take a shower. Hurry up."

"Whatever you say." He replied, heading of the bathroom.

Five minutes later he returned to the living room, dressed in fresh clothes and damp hair combed. Syaoran took a seat next to Sakura on the couch, who immediately wrapped her arms around him. "I found something that I wanted to show you." She said quietly.

He gave her a questioning look and released her as she fished something out of her pocket. She handed him something that looked like a Clow Card, only it was red. Upon closer examination, he noticed the picture printed on it was Cham-si's and below it was it's name, Betrayal. "I found this a few days after I got home from the hospital. I didn't know what to do with it…"

"keep it with the others?" He suggested, tossing it face down onto the table.

She shook her head, "I don't really want to…"

"I understand."

They were silent, pondering the options. Syaoran glanced towards a candle that was burning on the table in front of them. Without second though, he tossed the red paper into it.

As soon as it struck the flame, it hissed and let out a ear splitting cry. Sakura flinched and buried her head in Syaoran chest.

He stared at the flame with determination. Only when the card was entirely gone did he look away. Hugging Sakura close he whispered, "Everything will be all right now… He's gone, and won't bother anyone ever again…"
