Wind Crystal and a Broken Heart
"You must be tired, maybe you should get some sleep."
Li blushed and shack his head. "I'm okay."
Matt came back with some food, there are apples, strawberries and wild berries. He was in a good mood, when he saw Sakura standing beside Li, he walked to her. "Your up, hungry?" She nodded. "Here." Said Matt handing her an apple. "Thank you." Sakura give him a smile. Matt blushed a deep red.
Back at King Ray's castle...
A girl around the age of 17 walked into a room, she had black hair and purple eyes. She wear a long blue dress and looked real pretty. She looked into a crystal ball, "Tell me where the pretty girl Sakura is." She said looking evil. Then crystal ball showed her a picture of Sakura and then a picture of an forest. "So that's where your hiding. Karen, go find her and kill her." the evil girl said. A black knight stepped in front of her.
"I will do as you wish my Lady." After the Karen left, the girl smiled evilly.
"I will be the most prettiest woman in the world, I will not let a little Sakura stand in my way." The girl glared at the crystal ball. "I will have Li Syaoran.
Back at the forest...
Sakura was washing up by a lake, she looked into the blue clean water and a image of her appeared. She had tears in her eyes, she looked down sadly, remembering the image of the burning village. Suddenly, Li appeared beside her.
"Are you okay Sakura?" He asked with worried eyes.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Sakura was whipping some of her tears away. She tuned around to face him.
Li didn't say another word, he looked at her into the eyes. "Those eyes, I've see them before. But where?" He being asking himself that question for a long time, but still no answer. "Where to next Li?" Asked Sakura. "By the mountain." Li pointing at a direction. "There's a cave there, the map said that the wind crystal would be there."
"What are we waiting for then, lets head out?" Said Sakura. Li give her a warm smile.
A day later...
Sakura, Li and Matt finally reached the cave. "It looks dark in there, Matt you stay here, me and Sakura are going to try and find the crystal." Said Li.
"As you wish Master Syaoran."
Li and Sakura walked into the cave, it was hard for them to see so they hang to each other's hand. "Li, how are we going to find a crystal if it's so dark in here?" Sakura asked. "You'll find out." Said a voice. "Who's...who's there?" Sakura asked with a shacking voice. "It just the little old me, who eles?" Said the same voice. Suddenly, the cave was light up by the fire.
"So your Li Syaoran. The chosen one to free this land."
"Who are you?" Asked Li looking around for where the voice is coming from.
"I'm Windy, the protector of the wind crystal, if you want to get the crystal you'll have to get passed me first." Said a Lady coming out of no where. She's yellow all over. (She looks just like the windy card)
"I will get that crystal no matter what." Li pulled out his sword.
Windy used her wind power to throw Li to a rock, Li yelled out in pain. Sakura was running to him but was stopped by Windy. "Let me go!" Yelled Sakura. She pulled out a star key around her neck and turned it into a staff. She sent water blasting at Windy. Li got the chance to get the crystal, he run towards it but was stopped by Windy's wind power. Sakura marched forward and used her water blast on Windy again but it didn't work, she got knocked over by Windy.
Windy had her hand up to Li's neck, choking him. "Let go of him!" Sakura throwing another water blast at her. Windy throw Li to another other rock and started to fight Sakura. Li got up and picked up the wind crystal. As soon as he did, Windy disappeared, the crystal went to Li's neck and became a pendant that had a symbol of the dragon of it.
Sakura walked over to Li, "Are you okay?" She asked. "Yeah, I think so, you?" Asked Li looking at her. "I'm okay."
"Sakura, you didn't tell me you could do magic." Sakura turned to face him. "I didn't say I couldn't."
A image of Clow Reed appeared, "Well done Li, I'm proud of you. I see you found your helper without me telling you who she is. I have a helper live not far from this mountain, you could stay at her place for the night and training with her the next day. Her name is Helen, her house should be on the map, good luck Li." Clow Reed disappearing as soon as he said the last word.
"So I guess we should find this Helen then." Said Li getting up from where he was.
2 hours later...
They finally reached Helen's house, Matt got down his horse and knocked on the door. A girl around the age of 11 opened it. She had orange hair and blue eyes, she wear a pink shirt and a white skirt. "Yes?" The girl had a mean look on her face.
"Hi, I'm a student of Clow Reed, I'm looking for Helen." Said Matt.
The girl turned around and yelled, "Mom, someone's here to see you." A woman around the age of 30 walked to the door. "You must be Matt, Clow Reed talks about you all the time." Said Helen. "Where's the other two?" She looking out.
"They are over there." Matt pointing at Li and Sakura.
Li jumped off of he's horse and helped Sakura off. They walked to the door and said hi. Then Helen let them in. She lead the boys to a room and told Rica to take Sakura to another room.
"You will be staying here for the night Sakura." Said Rica. "By the way, your boyfriend there is really cute."
"Li? He's not my boyfriend. We are just friends." Sakura blushed a deep red. "Are you sure, the way he helped you off of that horse. Even a stupid can see that he's your boyfriend." Said Rica walking out of the room.
Night time...
Sakura stood on her balcony. "Boyfriend, yeah right! We are just friends, or are we?" Sakura had this question hanging on her mind for hours. She was looking at the stars, a image of Li got on her mind, she hard a foot step under the balcony. She looked down and found Li, he looked up at where Sakura who was standing there, he waved at her. She blushed and waved back, "Want to go for a walk?" He asked. "Be right there Li." Said Sakura. She put on a purple shirt and a purple skirt, she run down to where Li was. He had a blue T-shirt a jacket and jeans.
"Ready to go?" He asked. "Yeah, lets go." Sakura took his hand. Li blushed a deep red.
They came to a beautiful lake. Li found a dead tree trunk to sit on. A cold wind blow by, Sakura shivered a little, "Are you cold?" Li asked.
"A little." Said Sakura hugging herself.
"Here." Li took off his jacket and put it on her.
"What about you Li?" Asked Sakura.
"I'll be okay."
"Thank you Li."
"No problem." Li blushed a little.
"Sakura, may I ask you something?" Sakura turn to look at him. "Yeah, go ahead." she said. "I heard all about your father and brother, but you never talk about your mother, what happened to her."
"She died a long time ago." Sakura looked down.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
"It's okay, I never know much about her anyway. She died when I was 3, one thing I remember about her was how beautiful she was."
"You must got that from her." Whispered Li.
"What?" Sakura looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Oh nothing." Said Li looking at the stars.
They stay quite for a long time. Li looked at Sakura into the eyes, the image of the girl appeared in his mind again. "I'll always be by your side no matter what happens."
"Who are you?" Asked Li.
"Li are you okay?" Sakura asked with worried eyes.
Li snapped out of it, "Who me, yeah, I'm okay. Just a little dizzy." Said Li feeling strange.
"Well maybe we should go back."
"Good idea." Said Li barley awake.
Back at Sakura's room...
Sakura was sitting on her bed, "Should I go see how Li's doing?" She asked herself. "I think I should." She said to herself.
She walked to Syaoran's room and knocked on the door, "Come in." Came Li's voice. Sakura came into the room.
"Hi Li, how are you doing?" Sakura asked. "I'm... I'm okay, just a little dizzy that's all." Li got up from his bed. "Where's Matt?" Asked Sakura.
"He's... he's talking to Rica." Said Li.
Sakura sat on Li's bed, she checked his temperature. "I'm okay Sakura, you don't have to be worried about me." Li give her a smile. "You should get some sleep. After all you got training tomorrow." Sakura walking out of the room.
The next day...
Li got out of his bed, the good sleep really made him feel better. He looked at the clock, it was only five. He heard kicking and punching sound from out side, he put a yellow T-shirt and shorts on since all of the other cloth had being washed by Helen.
He walked out of his room and saw Rica punching a tree, she saw him coming out, she stopped punching the tree and walked up to him. "Morning Li, want to train with me?" "Sure, why not." Said Li. He started to fight with Rica.
Sakura walked out of her room. "What a nice morning!" She thought. Then she saw Li and Rica, training together, she wanted to go and say hi. Just as she reached the hall way she saw Li knocking Rick to the ground. Li quickly run to her and took a good look, her leg was wounded but she could still walk. Then she saw Li picking her up in his arms and putting her on a chair to take a look. Suddenly, Sakura felt a strange power around her, then a voice appeared in her head, it's repeating the same thing over and over again. "He doesn't love you, give it up! Give it all up!"
"Who are you?" Asked Sakura. No one answered, but the voice was getting louder and louder until she couldn't take it anymore. She put her hands on her ears and run down the hall. As she did, she bumped into Matt who was reading a book and didn't know what was going on. He then helped her up.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I... I... leave me alone!" Said Sakura running down the hall.
Matt looked at her with worried eyes, he know it's not likely for Sakura to act this way. He then found Li and Rica together and understood everything. "Li, how could you." Whispered Matt.
Li got up from where he was, he had finished fixing Rica's wound. Matt walked up to him with a mad face. "What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing is going to be up is you don't find Sakura!" Said Matt.
"What's with you?" Asked Li giving him a look. "Li, find Sakura now. She run into the woods alone, I've got a bad feeling about this." Said Matt pushing him. "She what? I heard Helen say that there was a monster in those woods, looking for little girls to eat. We have to find her now." Said Li pulling Matt with him. "Let's split up, that way we could cover more grounds."
Sakura ruined as fast as she could, she didn't want anyone to catch up with her. She ruined for a long time until finally, she couldn't run anymore. She stopped and was trying to catch her breath, the voice had reappeared in her head, she put two hands on her ears and screamed. Tears began to drop down from her cheeks. She sat down still covering her ears.
Not far away from her was a blue monster, it looked like a female lion with cold eyes. It looked at Sakura, ready to attack. It jumped out behind a tree at Sakura, it had its huge paws on her shoulder. It's sharp nails cut deep into her soft skin. Sakura screamed as loud as she can. Blood came dropping down from her shoulder. The monster lean close to her, it opened its huge mouth and was ready to bite Sakura neck.
Li heard Sakura's scream and run as fast as he could to where she was. When he got there, he saw Sakura lying there, looking dead. He pulled out his sword and chopped off the monster's head. He slowly walked over to her, checking if she was dead. Her heart was still beating, but very faint. He then picked up Sakura who was now covered in blood and walked out of the woods.
Helen and Rica sat outside, they where waiting for Li, Matt and Sakura to return. Matt walked out of the woods, shacking his head. "Did you find her?" Asked Rica running up to him. "No, I hope Master Syaoran finds her soon, it's almost dark." "Look, over there." Said Helen pointing to a direction. They turned around to see Li, walking very slowly, and he's got Sakura in his arms, all bloody.
Everyone run up to him, "Master Syaoran, are you okay?" Asked Matt, Li didn't say a word. His eyes was full of tears, but he didn't cry. Helen looked at Sakura, then at Li. "Li, what happened?" She asked. "Don't ask, just get help." Said Li giving Sakura to Matt.
In Sakura's room...
Two hours had pass by, Helen had finish cleaning her up. Li was by her side, holding her hand, Sakura slowly opened her eyes. The first one she saw was Li, giving her a warm smile. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I think so. What happened." She asked.
"You shouldn't talk that much, your still weak." Said Li. "I'll tell you the whole story when you get well."
Suddenly, Li got this strange feeling. He saw someone in his mind outside of the window, but he ignored it. Rica walked in, "Sakura, you better get some sleep. Come on Li, Matt let her rest." Matt nodded and walked out of the door. "I'll see you later Sakura." Said Li letting go of her hand.
A day later...
Li was in Sakura's room talking to her, she slowly got out of her bed. She asked Li to go out well she was changing. She put on a pink shirt and shorts, she got out of her room and meet up with Li. "You shouldn't run, you'll make your wound bleed." Said Li. "I'll be alright, don't worry."
A man was standing on a tree not far away, he was pulling out his sword. He jumped out of where he was hiding and followed Li. Sakura and Li walked to the lake and sat on the same spot before. Li got up and walked to the nearest cherry blossom tree and started to pick flowers for Sakura.
"Here." Said Li handing Sakura the flowers.
In the castle...
Kiki looked into the crystal ball, "So, she's not dead yet? I'm disappointed." She said. "She should be dead by now." "My Lady, there's the brat name Li who's always getting in our way. I will try harder next time." Said Karen. "You better!" Said Kiki walking away.
"Have you find the girl yet." Asked Ray. "No, but we are trying." Said on of the guards. "Will try harder!" Yelled Ray. No one said a word. "Come down, tell me, is there anything I can do for you my King." Said Kiki walking into the room. "Yes, find Sakura. FIND HER." Yelled Ray.
In Li's room...
Li was sitting on his bed thinking about how badly wounded she was when he saw her. "Why do I feel so hart?" Li asked himself. "Because you care about her too much." Said Matt walking into the room. "Li, I know she care a lot about you by the way she run off the other day." Li blushed a deep red.
Sakura walked into Li's room. "I couldn't go to sleep, what to chat?" She asked both Matt and Li. "Sure, why not. I'll get us something to eat, wait here." Said Matt walking out. Li and Sakura was the only ones that are left in the room.
"Sakura, you know that day when you run off into the woods alone." Li began.
"Yeah, what about it?" Asked Sakura looking at him.
"I would never forgive myself if something happened to you." Said Li blushing.
Sakura looked at him, she didn't know what to say. "I really care for me?" She thought to herself.
Li moved closer to Sakura, he had his arm around her protectively. Sakura realized that Li was hugging her, but she didn't pull away. "I'm sorry that I worried you Li." She said, "It's okay, just don't run away on me that ever again."
A guy watched from outside of the window, "I will have you Sakura!" He said coldly. He pulled out his sword and marched into the room. Li and Sakura quickly pulled away, the guy slashed his sword at Li, the good thing is Li got away. The bad thing is the guy got Sakura.
"Let go of me Ken!" Yelled Sakura trying to get free. The guy was Ken, he had his hand on Sakura's wounded shoulder, blood came down straming down.
"Don't press that heard!" Yelled Li, "Your harting her."
"Shut up! I know what I'm doing." Said Ken holding on to the shoulder.
Sakura grow weak from all the blood she was losing, her legs was losing their strength, she passed out and Ken cot her. Matt saw Ken holding Sakura and walking out of the door, he quickly put the food he was holding on a table outside and pulled out his sword. He run to where Ken was and had his sword pointed to his neck, "Drop it." He said. Ken did what he was told. "Give the girl to Li." Ken did that too.
Li walked over and cot Sakura, he put her on his bed and walked over to Ken. He then hit him behind the neck which cosign him to faint. "I'll tie him up, you take care of Sakura." Said Li getting some rope.
"No, I'll tie Ken up and you go see what you can do about
Sakura." Said Matt giving him a smile.
